big self-contained files.

I used to do that. Then I stopped doing that.

The files were getting *VERY* big, and some things were not that easy to
reuse over the application -- and if you start doing includes/tags then it
is not contained in one file anymore. I actually found things harder to
maintain in a lot cases since you have to find your way through the web of
code in one template that did a lot of different things.

I started to gravitate towards something like fusebox 3. I used a
dispatcher (all calls to index.cfm), I split things up in individual
templates. Then I found fusebox 3, and it was a big "this is for me". I
could see how things would be easier to maintain, reuse, transpose etc
etc.

But before I got really into fbx 3; big things are happening now -- at
work we are moving to CFMX and it seems like Mach-II is *the* thing to
move to.

| As a practice I try and make each template self contained

| This behaviour is not specific to fusebox.  CF just works this way.
| included templates are not automatically parsed.  You have to have
| <cfoutput> tags in the included page.

|
| Hello All,
|
| Sorry if this is a novice question.  I am trying to learn
| fusebox and find
| my self making smaller templates and and more includes (which
| I guess is
| good I haven't decided yet)
|
| My question is this.  Lets say that the value of myvariable is "house"
|
| So when I do this
|
| <cfoutput>
| #myvariable#
| </cfoutput>
|
| I get an output of house
|
| But when I do this
|
| <cfoutput>
|
| <cfinclude template="dsp_myvariablepage.cfm">
| (dsp_myvariablepage.cfm's
| content is  #myvariable# )
|
| </cfoutput>
|
| I get #myvariable#  instead of house.  If include the template and the
| content is #myvariable# would it not be in between the two
| cfoutputs once it
| is included?
|
| Sorry if this question is basic, just trying to understand it.
|
| Thanks
|
| Mike
