Embedding image and multiple queries in cfgrid

Question

I have a datagrid that displays a user's work history pulled
from one query. In the original HTML table set up, a status icon
for each work item was displayed as either "New", 'Needs Attention"
or "Archived". This status was determined by using a value from the
first query as a filter in the WHERE clause of the second query:
------------------- Original Query -------------------------
<cfquery datasource="#application.defaultdsn#"
name="qQuestions">
SELECT discussions.dateSubmitted, discussions.discussionID,
discussions.subjectID, discussions.topic, users.firstName + ' ' +
users.lastName AS stName,
subjects.subjectID AS Expr1, subjects.subject
FROM discussions INNER JOIN
users ON discussions.userID = users.userid INNER JOIN
subjects ON discussions.subjectID = subjects.subjectID
WHERE 0=0
<cfif getDiscussionIDs.recordCount GT 0>
AND (
<cfloop query="getDiscussionIDs">
discussions.discussionID = #getDiscussionIDs.discussionID#
<cfif getDiscussionIDs.currentRow NEQ
getDiscussionIDs.recordCount>OR</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfelse>
AND 0=1
</cfquery>
------------------------ Queries used to determine status
<cfquery datasource="#application.defaultdsn#"
name="LatestMessage">
SELECT Max(discussionPosts.postID) AS NewestMessage
FROM discussionPosts
WHERE discussionPosts.discussionID =
#qQuestions.discussionID#
</cfquery>
<cfset variables.userTypetoView = "tutor">
<!--- <cfif LatestMessage.recordCount --->
<cfquery datasource="#application.defaultdsn#"
name="getLastInfo">
SELECT discussionPosts.userType,
discussionPosts.dateSubmitted, discussionPosts.viewerID
FROM discussionPosts
WHERE discussionPosts.postID = #LatestMessage.NewestMessage#
</cfquery>
My question is how can I emulate this same status icon setup
in a cfgrid? I used the following ActionScript to create a new
column in the grid and return a string. However, this new column
must logically know how to display the correct status IMAGE for
each corresponding row. As you can see, there are no database
tables for storing the status - which would have made this much
easier.
function setStat(){
eQArchive.getColumnAt(1).labelFunction = statIcon;
function statIcon(item
bject, columnName:String): String{
if (item[columnName] != undefined) {
return asIcon;
else {
return "";
I also tried using the toScript() function in CF7 to see if I
can set a variable equal to the appropriate image and then return
it in the above script, but this is where I am at a loss.
<cfif getLastInfo.recordCount GT 0 AND
Trim(getLastInfo.userType) EQ "tutor">
<cfset stat = "/images/docArchive.jpg">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<cfoutput>var #toScript(getLastInfo, "asIcon",
True)#;</cfoutput>
</script>
<cfelseif getLastInfo.viewerID EQ session.tutorID>
<cfset stat = "/images/docNew.jpg">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<cfoutput>var #toScript(getLastInfo, "asIcon",
True)#;</cfoutput>
</script>
<cfelse>
<cfset stat = "Green">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<cfoutput>var #toScript(getLastInfo, "asIcon",
True)#;</cfoutput>
</script>
</cfif>
Any ideas on how to get this working is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Mike,
To insert multiple queries in a single woorkbook.
In the Business Explore --> Analyser --> Open the first query and then click on tools button of the BEx add on components and select the option ( Insert Query ).
