If you want global handling on a FB3 site, I'd wrap the call to the core
file in 'index.cfm' with a CFTRY and then you can have multiple CFCATCH
block to handle the different error types. Or you can just have one general
one.
I usually have something like this:
<cftry>
<cfinclude template="fbx_fusebox....cfm" />
<cfcatch type="MissingInclude">
<cfmail to="..." subject="you idiot, you missed a file" />
<cflocation url="404.cfm" />
</cfcatch>
<cfcatch type="Database">
<!--- something --->
<cflocation url="500.cfm" />
</cfcatch>
...
</cftry>
I prefer that to using CFERROR because it makes things a little more
explicit, and i'm not limited by the fact that sometimes you get to use full
CF, and sometimes you only get out output the error variables in the
processing template. Feel free to read that as "I'm too lazy write two
copies of the error message, and have to hard code the layout in one",
because that's the reason.
On a different note, if you want fusebox specific help, check out the forums
at fusebox.org. It's got security, so you have to register, but nothing
unlike getting access to CF-Talk. There's a pretty substantial user base
there, and pretty much 100% FB3 users, so you'll find a much higher
concentration of info that on this list.
