Is the addtoken parameter in the location function(cflocation tag) a boolean?

I'm using CF9.

The function cflocation has a parameter

addToken = "yes|no"

It is not mentioned if this is actually a boolean, e.g. are the following two equivalent?

<cflocation url = "http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/dochome.htm" addToken = "no">
<cflocation url = "http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/dochome.htm" addToken = "false">

When calling this method in cfscript using the function Location can I pass a boolean as a parameter?

<cfscript>
   location(url="http://localhost:8500/administrator", addtoken = false);
</cfscript>
Solution

  • Yes they are the same and yes you can pass them in cfscript as a parameter. You can even use 0 and 1.

    For false:

    <cflocation url = "http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/dochome.htm" addToken = "no">
<cflocation url = "http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/dochome.htm" addToken = "false">
<cflocation url = "http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/dochome.htm" addToken = "0">
<cfscript>location(url="http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/dochome.htm", addtoken = false);</cfscript>
<cfscript>location(url="http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/dochome.htm", addtoken = "no");</cfscript>
<cfscript>location(url="http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/dochome.htm", addtoken = 0);</cfscript>

    For true:

    <cflocation url = "http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/dochome.htm" addToken = "yes">
<cflocation url = "http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/dochome.htm" addToken = "true">
<cflocation url = "http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/dochome.htm" addToken = "1">
<cfscript>location(url="http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/dochome.htm", addtoken = true);</cfscript>
<cfscript>location(http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/dochome.htm", addtoken = "yes");</cfscript>
<cfscript>location(url="http://localhost:8500/cfdocs/dochome.htm", addtoken = 1);</cfscript>

    BTW you could easily verify this you self by creating a small sample file and test it.
