Hi James, I did try the Hungarian naming for a while, just don't feel its useful anymore, but like you said it works for some and not for others.
As for the friendly url, I try not to display any files in the url at all anymore, for several reason; - Friendly URLs - Memorable URLs - Search engines - i.e. never having to change your listings when changing from index.cfm to index.php or index.asp - etc. Even before I did this I was using Fusebox and that all worked through the index.cfm file, i.e. every include is called via the url variable fuseaction=index Taco Fleur http://www.tacofleur.com/index/blog/ 0421 851 786 Tell me and I will forget Show me and I will remember Teach me and I will learn > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of James Macpherson > Sent: Friday, 9 January 2004 8:55 AM > To: CFAussie Mailing List > Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Methodology > > > Hmm.. shot down on that one :P > > I've just got used to prefixing after being forced to do it > and I think it's fantastic. and once you get used to it it > definately does not make things harder to read, many times > easier in fact.
