We want to build a strong community around the ColdBox family.  That's why we have the ForgeBox source directory.  What is ForgeBox?  I'm glad you asked.  ForgeBox is a public collection of internal and community-contributed plugins, modules, widgets, interceptors and more that you can download and drop into your application to save you time and effort if the wheel you need has already been invented.  

URL: http://www.coldbox.org/forgeBox

ForgeBox even has a REST API that the CFBuilder Platform Utilities and ContentBox tap into to make themselves self-updating and capable of downloading forgebox entries (like new ContenBox layouts) without you even visiting the site.

Please take a moment to search through the contributions on ForgeBox and please submit any code you would like to see included.  

More info here: http://wiki.coldbox.org/wiki/ForgeBox:API-Documentation.cfm

P.S. Don't forget to rate the projects you download from ForgeBox using the 5-star voting system built into the site.

Adobe ColdFusion 2021 reaches the end of extended support on November 10, 2026. If your application still runs on this release, the time to decide what comes next is now.

Adobe ended core support for ColdFusion 2021 on November 10, 2025. The current extended support period is best effort and does not include security patches or hotfixes. When it ends on November 10 2026, organizations will no longer have that support option from Adobe for ColdFusion 2021.
