FB3 is like a magical black box to me at the minute as it is doing everything on the fly, its strange.... but I'm starting to like how it flows, a lot. as for your errors you would have to post them, I was having similar problems last week, although I am only using FB3 about 3 days. j -----Original Message----- From: Tangorre, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 1:02 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Fusebox 3 Layout Question Hello everyone, Below is a sample dir structure for my application home home/aboutus home/contactus home/photogallery No, in each "circuit" I have a fbx_Layouts.cfm file. What I am attempting to do is make a unique layout for each area of the site... Now, in the top level (home) fbx_settings.cfm file I specify a variable to hold the path to my layout directory which is layouts In the top level (home) circuit, inside the fbx_layouts.cfm file, I set layout dir = #layout_dir_variable# layout file = "name_of_layout_file_to_use" This does not seem to be working for me though. In each circuit I set the two vars above... and sometimes I get nested layotus, other times I get errors... can anyone shed some light on my idea.
