can anyone review this code tell me what's wrong in it? I don't understand why it is displaying questions two times.
here is the code to display questions based on its questiontype, I mean it will look into question folder for matching questiontype template and then display it with question. this is the code to show survey's questions.
<cfoutput>
<cfset step = 0 />
<form class="form form-horizontal" action="#buildUrl(action='survey.savesurveyresults',querystring='surveyId=#rc.surveyid#')#" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="fksurveyid" value="#rc.surveyId#">
<input type="hidden" name="fkquestionid" value="#rc.questions.id#">
<fieldset>
<cfloop query="rc.questions">
<cfset step ++ />
<cfset answer = "" />
<cfmodule template="../question/#rc.questions.template#/display.cfm" step="#step#" question="#rc.questions.question#" template1="#rc.questions.template#" fkquestionid="#rc.questions.id#" answer="#answer#" required="#rc.questions.required#" result="result#step#"/>
</cfloop>
<div class="form-actions">
<button type="submit" name="submit" class="btn btn-success">Submit answers</button>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
</cfoutput>
this is my display.cfm to view question and its questiontype like truefalse or yes or no.
<cfparam name="attributes.yesno" default="false">
<cfoutput>
<p>#attributes.step#) #attributes.question# <cfif attributes.required EQ 1><strong>* </strong></cfif></p>
<div class="answers">
<cfif attributes.yesno>
<input type="radio" name="answer" id="answer" value="yes"<cfif attributes.answer is "yes">Checked</cfif>><label for="truefalse">Yes</label><br>
<input type="radio" name="answer" id="answer" value="no"<cfif attributes.answer is "No">Checked</cfif>><label for="truefalse">No</label>
<cfelse>
<input type="radio" name="answer" id="answer" value="true"<cfif attributes.answer is "true">Checked</cfif>><label for="truefalse">True</label><br>
<input type="radio" name="answer" id="answer" value="False"<cfif attributes.answer is "False">Checked</cfif>><label for="truefalse">False</label>
</cfif>
</div>
</cfoutput>
here is the query to list question's records.
<cfquery name="list">
SELECT
questions.id,
questions.question,
questions.rank,
questions.required,
questiontypes.name as questiontype,
questiontypes.template as template,
surveys.name as surveysname,
surveys.thankyoumsg as thankyoumsg
FROM questions
INNER JOIN questiontypes ON questions.fkquestiontypeid = questiontypes.id
INNER JOIN surveys ON questions.fksurveyid = surveys.id
WHERE questions.fksurveyid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_bigint" value="#arguments.surveyid#">
</cfquery>
This is something that has bitten me a couple of times. I've always been pretty big on closing tags. But this is a situation where it will hurt. And be hard to debug if you don't understand the behavior of cfmodule. As the post above mine states, if you close the cfmodule tag, it will execute twice. This is because it's treated the same as a custom tag. There may be situations where you want to process part of the tag when it's first run and the rest after it's complete. You can access the ExecutionMode in the thisTag scope of the cfmodule page. With no closing tag, it's simply run in the thisTag.ExecutionMode = Start mode. If you close it, it runs the tag again in the End mode. If you aren't doing anything with the ExecutionMode inside the cfmodule's code, the whole thing will simply run again. This behavior is part of the reason that cfmodule can be so powerful.
