Hi,
I'm curious -- who out there is actively using fusebox, and if so,
what is your impression of it?
I've managed to implement a "partial" fusebox site as a virtual host
on my main site. What I mean by partial is that I used the demo as
the basic structure of the site, putting in my own "app" structure,
switches, setting etc. The fuses in app produce all the lists using
all the goodies (breadcrumbs, batches, etc.), but the majority of
the links in the list go off to a none fusbox controller for the
details. I did it this way because I had a lot of code written for
the detail that I did not think I could convert to fusebox as rapidly
as I needed. The goal is to eventually put it all in fusebox.
As a few others have said, it's a fairly steep learning curve, but
once you figure it out, it sure helps being consistent. Until I
create a fuse/circuit entirely in fusebox and quit having to think
two different ways I'm going to be inconsistent and not get all the
benefits.
I'm going to try to add another app soon, kinda waiting for the DVD
to help refresh my memory.
That all being said, one of the things I have not figured out (really
have not tried) is how (or where) do you switch layouts? Going back
to my partial implementation, once I get to a detail page, it is a
full screen view with it's own layout (no sidebars, header etc - the
application is replicating paper forms with web forms). If I have a
circuit "main/private/app/requisitions", how do I get rid of the
sidebars, headers, etc when I want to display a requisition form
using a different layout?
