Running a Coldfusion function server side from a link
I have a cfm page which includes a function and runs the function based on some arguments passed to the page as url variables. My requirement is to call the page via a hyperlink/button but not open the page in the browser. The client browser must remain on the page with the hyperlink/button.
To clarify a bit more:
I have a ringout.cfm page with the following code:
<cfinclude template="/functions/easySocket.cfm">
<cfset NL = chr(13) & chr(10) />
<cfset extension = #url.user_extension#>
<cfset outbound_line=#url.partner_line#>
<cfset target_number=#url.target_number#>
<cfset call_type="from-internal">
<cfset call_id="12345">
<cfset caller_id="Blah Blah">
<cfset APICommand="Action: Login#NL#Username: tst#NL#Secret: tst#NL##NL#Action: Originate#NL#Channel: PJSIP/#extension##NL#Exten: #outbound_line##target_number##NL#Context: #call_type##NL#Priority: 1#NL#Callerid: #caller_id##NL#ActionID: #call_id##NL#Async: true#NL##NL#">
<cfoutput>
#easySocket('222.222.xx.xx','5038', APICommand)#
</cfoutput>
I would like to call the above page from within another page (contacts.cfm) without leaving the page. I have the following code in my contacts.cfm:
<a href="#buildUrl("crm.ringout")#&target_number=<cfoutput>#reReplace(#contact_mobile#, "[[:space:]]", "", "ALL")#</cfoutput>&partner_line=302&user_extension=204" runat="server">#contact_mobile# </a>
All I would like to do is run the ringout.cfm page server side.

Hint: You'll need to use ajax. Running server side code from the client (ie link, button, etc) requires opening a a new http request. To do that without leaving the page requires ajax.

You have provided very little information and no code. But as I understand, you can do it. In your xxx.cfm add this code
<cfif structKeyExists(URL,"YOUR_URL_VAR")>
<!--- call your function here, generate the desired output and show as plain text/html or json format. Abort the processing if you know this variable will only exist for specific hyperlink/button call--->
<cfabort>
</cfif>
Then with your link call xxx.cfm and pass the desired url variable along.
