I'm actually using the "#request.self#?fuseaction=#xfa.something#" notation, i was 
just writing it in short hand by typing "..../index.cfm". That was confusing on my 
part, sorry.

I have looked into the problem a little more, and here is what i have found. It seems 
that QuerySim, or any custom tag that uses thistag.generatedcontent, will work fine if 
it's in a fuse included through fbx_switch.cfm, in any circuit.

However, I have one template using QuerySim that i include through fbx_settings.cfm. I 
have found that, when included through fbx_settings.cfm, thistag.generatedcontent 
turns up empty, for ANY custom tag i try to use. I also found that this happens in ANY 
circuit.

I use it in child circuits all the time without a problem. On a possibly
related note, I'm wondering why are you using ../ notation to get back
to the home circuit?

Subject: QuerySim custom tag and Fusebox 3


Hi everyone,

I'm using the QuerySim custom tag (find it at www.halhelms.com) to
assist in developing a Fusebox 3 site. When I use it in a template that
I am viewing directly rather than through the Fusebox ( as in
"..../index.cfm?fuseaction=circuit.fuse"), it works fine. Also, QuerySim
works fine when calling it through the Fusebox, if it is in the home
circuit.

However, when QuerySim is called in a template used by a child circuit,
something wierd happens. I have found that the value of
thistag.generatedcontent, which would hold the query contents i pass, is
wiped out. Therefore, QuerySim has nothing to make a query out of.

I know that the proper place to be using QuerySim is when you're testing
individual fuses, especially before you have the "real" query fuses
written, so you can say that i'm using QuerySim improperly anyway by
using it within the fusebox itself. (in my defense, i have an acceptable
reason to be doing this in this case and its only temporary, but i wont
try to explain).

Anyway, I thought it was strange that the value thistag.generatedcontent
of a custom tag would be wiped out in that way. I have thoroughly tested
this and found that, indeed, it only happens when calling it within the
Fusebox, and only in a child circuit. I am afraid that this reveals some
sort of subtle problem with Fusebox itself! But I am probably (and
hopefully) wrong...
