I asked the same question a bit ago here, and got varied responses. A lot of people swear by it. Some think it's good for certain things but not others. Didn't find many (any?) people who thought it was useless. I think the basic idea is, it really comes into its own in large and/or collaborative sites. For small sites, the architecture is often overkill. And if you're working alone most of the time, well, you know your own coding habits best. I basically used Fusebox as 'inspiration' for overhauling my own way of working and my basic template apps, but I didn't go the whole hog. I kept some of my own habits, but a lot of things - such as commented documentation style for custom tags, file-naming conventions, the basic architecture, CF_MAXID and other bits for enhancing DB portability - I took straight from Fusebox. I work mostly alone on relatively small apps, but this is gradually changing, and implementing a lot of these ideas now leaves the door open for scalability. Also, I'm always concerned about future developers who have to work on code when I'm gone (we've all been that person!), and I think that: 1. If they're familiar with Fusebox, they'll find their way around my code in no time. 2. Even if they're not, it's now well thought-out and standardised, which will hopefully make things easier. My advice with Fusebox is, look at it in relation to your working situation AND the prospects for your near-future working situation. hth, - Gyrus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - [EMAIL PROTECTED] work: http://www.tengai.co.uk play: http://www.norlonto.net - PGP key available ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
