I had to change varScoper.cfm line 34

from:
XmlParse("properties.xml")

to:
XmlParse("#getDirectoryFromPath(getCurrentTemplatePath())#properties.xml")

This version does not work with CFMX 6.1 because xmlParse did not support a filename argument until CFMX7. I know, we're all upgrading sooner or later. I have separate CF7 and CF8 instances running, so I'll be ok. Just note, this release is not compatible with CFMX 6.1.

@Andrew and Nathan

Thanks for the posts guys. I will get this fixed ASAP.

Mike. Sometimes ago I help you fixed a problem with cfdirectory, so that the functionality will be for CF 6.1 and up. I'm still on CF 6.1 and it seems that the new release is not 6.1 compatible. Any plans to keep it going, or you will not test varScoper in 6.1 anymore?

Dmitry-
Pat is looking at it and will hopefully have a fix for it today, I generally don't have a 6.1 environment setup, so it's not easy for me to test. (I'm guessing Pat didn't either) I may contact you in the future before I send out a new version so you can do a sanity check for me.

Sure thing.

Btw, it's Dmitriy (see the right spelling)

Sorry about that, I think I've misspelled it almost every time I've emailed you, my bad, I need to learn to copy and paste. Feel free to misspell my last name all you want, you won't be the first.

It doesn't look that complicated :)

@ Dmitriy

Mike's right, I did not have a 6.1 environment available, but I do now (just got one setup today). I am currently adjusting the code to get this all working (not complicated like you expressed :-)). However I would love to have your help with testing the changes if you are available to do so?

@Pat
When I said "It doesn't look that complicated", I was referring to Mike's last name as he challenged me to misspell it.

As far as testing, I'll do what I can as my time is very limited. "24 hours in one day is not enough for me :) "
