> So does anyone know of something similar written in CFML? > Thanks. It's the intended direction of the onTap framework... It lacks a wealth of pre-built plugin applications as of yet, but it's getting there. I just rebuilt the member management & security suite - lots of improvements, including i18n and nested regions of arbitrary depth (i.e. US > TX or US > Southwest > TX > DFW > Dallas County > Dallas > Deep Ellum dependant on your app's needs for regional granularity). What other features are you interested in in particular? Of the available frameworks / tools for CF, onTap has the most modular presentation tools (modification of html output to the level of individual in-line css properties and fragments of javascript event-handlers), and arguably the most flexible/powerful plugin framework (installing new plugins requires _no_ modifications to existing files, programatic or otherwise and is able to modify or replace just about any part of the framework or any application built with it). Lots of localization and branding features not available with native CFML, CFC enhancements, file management tools, database access tools (both DML and DDL with common syntax for MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle and Access and potentially other db's). The last few days I've been focusing my energies pretty heavily on a RuleManager.cfc engine for setting up arbitrary business rules using XML and CFC's. So the same engine would be useful for email filters, determination of due dates for deposits / commissions, applicability of discounts, presentation of content (by date/time, locale), etc. and could be used with hand-generated xml, programmatically generated xml, or xml generated via a built-in user interface that can be customized for different contexts. I actually changed the license on the framework core yesterday to the OpenBSD license Jim Davis is using for his libraries. I had been using the L-GPL but decided to switch because of some confusion surrounding the (L-)GPL and because the OpenBSD license is a bit more lenient and I'm really not concerned about people providing source for the framework if they use it to build commercial applications. I plan to update the Plugin Manager and the Members onTap plugin with the new license tonight. ASSIDE: I didn't get around to it last night because I made the mistake of watching Saw with Tiff on pay-per-view. Would be nice to get our $3 back... with interest. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
