Just to insert my two cents worth,
I inherited a site that I have now see was supposed to follow the fusebox methodology.
It has been a nightmare trying to figure out what they were trying to do.
I may be wrong but it seems to me that too have an include on the index page point to
an action file that simply points to a display file was not the proper implementation.
Just from looking the fusebox docs over once I see that what I would think is the
proper implementation of this would be more like this
1)an include on the index page that points to an action file that does and action
2)an include on the index page below the action file that points to a query file
3)an include on the index page below the query file that points to a display file
that may show the results returned based on the action and query file.
Am I correct in this?
I will admit that the methodology is a good thing to have to structure code and make
it easier for a new programmer to come in and see what is going on. However in this
case the documentation was nearly nonexistant and the fact that some of the includes
stayed within the directory structure and others did not made this application
extremely hard to follow.
I am not the only programmer here that felt the same way about this application. I am
not saying that the methodology is wrong...quite the contrary it seems to be simple
and expandable. I am saying that no matter what methodolgy someone uses, the results
you get will depend on how well you understand what the methodology is doing, how
well you document your work and how closely you follow the specs of the methodology.
Thanks
Frederic
