At the end of the day, there's no way to get rid of a whatever.cfm (or another mapped suffix) file in your URL - unless you rewrite it on the HTTP server level. Not sure - but for me it's not that much of a big deal as I'm not using much shared CF hosting.
ColdCourse is a nice routing framework for CF - if you're after the rails-style URLs. I use that a lot together with FB 4 and 5 , makes URL routing super-easy. http://coldcourse.riaforge.org/ Cheers Kai > No reason you couldn't use a application specific missing template handler, > that's what we do in CodexWiki, for both CF8 and CF9 support. > > Just means that all your requests have to end in .cfm. > > http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/CFMLRef/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-7d2a.html > > Mark > > On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 2:34 PM, Seona Bellamy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I'm using my time off work to play around with some old half-finished > projects that have been knocking around my hard-drive for a few years, seeing > what I can bring to them with the new techniques and perspectives I learned > in my last job.
