Currently, cfmap and cfmapitem both have a showuser="" attribute. However, they do not serve the same purpose. The "showuser" in cfmap is the address about which to center the map.

Thus, cfmap's showuser should be renamed to "centeruser".

Ex: <cfmap centeraddress="" centeruser="" ../><cfmapitem showuser="" ../>

Update: <cfmap centeraddress="" showcentermarker="" centeruser="" showusermarker="" ../> A "showusermarker" would need added too.

Please ignore my last post. A "showusermarker" would *not* also need added, b/c there can only be 1 center marker. =P

I see this is deferred. But is this something that really can be changed post-Beta? <cfmapitem showuser="" makes sense. But <cfmap showuser="" doesn't. In this case, it really means "centeruser". And this is the change requested.

Is the plan to change <cfmap showuser="" to <cfmap centeruser="" in the next release? Since it really means "center the map about the user".

This is definition of showuser attribute as per docs : "If set to true, on HTML-compliant browsers, user location is shown on the map.For browsers that are not HTML 5 compliant, the address falls back to the value you specify for centerAddress."

Closing the bug as Withdrawn -> Not a bug. As per the documentation at, https://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/cfmap, showuser attribute works appropriately. Changing the attribute name would result in backward compatibility issues.

Hi Uday, Regarding: "If set to true, on HTML-compliant browsers, user location is shown on the map.For browsers that are not HTML 5 compliant, the address falls back to the value you specify for centerAddress." That should probably be re-written as: "If set to true, on HTML-compliant browsers, user location is shown and centered on the map. For browsers that are not HTML 5 compliant, the map is centered to the value you specify for centerAddress." See? The "cfmap" showuser simply -overrides the centerAddress- (it shows the user AND centers the map on the user's address). The "cfmapitem" showuser just shows the user (it doesn't center the map). Thus, since cfmap's & cfmapitem's showuser serve different purposes, that is why I suggested changing cfmap's showuser to "centeruser". Thanks!, -Aaron

Hi Immanuel, Regarding: "Changing the attribute name would result in backward compatibility issues." Yes, b/c Adobe's replies came nearly 2 years after I filed this ER. I filed this during CF10 Public Beta. At that time, backward compatibility wasn't an issue. Thanks!, -Aaron

Just adding a reminder to myself to re-file this during CF12, since CF12 can break backward-compat.

Okay, you can break backward-compat now in CF12 and fix properly. Thanks!, -Aaron

The decision is not to break any backward compatibility for CF12.
