Category Bean
The category
bean/object includes category-specific data. This bean/object contains information about a category itself, and does not describe any relationships to content items themselves.
Syntax
The following examples illustrate how to "get" and/or "set" various attributes of the category
bean/object. Use whichever syntax feels best to you.
Loading the Bean
Load a category
bean/object by any of the following attributes:
- categoryid
- name
- remoteid
- filename
- urltitle
<cfset categoryBean = m.getBean('category').loadBy(name='Mura CMS')>
Once you have a variable to reference the desired bean/object, you can use the example Getters and Setters below.
Getters
categoryBean.get('attributeName') categoryBean.get{AttributeName}() categoryBean.getValue('attributeName')
Setters
categoryBean.set('attributeName', 'someValue') categoryBean.set{AttributeName}('someValue') categoryBean.setValue('attributeName', 'someValue')
Usage
Use the category
bean/object to access and/or manipulate a category.
