Tip of the Week: The ForgeBox Community

Luis Majano |  August 15, 2012

 

We want to build a strong community around the ColdBox family.  That's why we have the ForgeBox source directory.  What is ForgeBox?  I'm glad you asked.  ForgeBox is a public collection of internal and community-contributed plugins, modules, widgets, interceptors and more that you can download and drop into your application to save you time and effort if the wheel you need has already been invented.

Tip of the Week: Using Your customErrorTemplate Setting

Brad Wood |  August 09, 2012

 

ColdBox gives you several ways to deal with unhandled exceptions in your application such as the exceptionHandler event and the onException interception point to name a couple.  With either of those approaches, you can redirect the request to a different event.  If you don't redirect or abort the request though, ColdBox will eventually display the contents of your error template.  
 
By default the error template is /coldbox/system/includes/BugReport.cfm.  This file has the familiar "Oops! Exception Encountered" header.  While BugReport.cfm is chock-full of juicy error details (including the SQL of queries that errored), it isn't the kind of information you want to be revealing to the general public.  
 
This is where your customErrorTemplate setting from the ColdBox config file comes in.
