Cache Timeout: #stComponent.attributes.cacheTimeout#

 


This works great and you can create your own icons for caching if needed or not. Simple but useful.

What “Modernize or Die” Really Means in 2026

“Modernize or Die” is not about forcing teams into MVC, chasing trends, or rewriting every CFML application from scratch. It means making sure your applications, teams, and processes can survive the future: easier to maintain, test, secure, deploy, document, hire for, and evolve. In 2026, modernization is less about adopting the newest pattern and more about reducing business risk, protecting the value already built into your systems, and ensuring CFML applications remain credible, sustai...
