RE: [CFCDev] Blog CFC mod help

[John Farrar]

This is exactly why (different gains and losses to each approach) my desire is to see a set of common API standards to allow applications to be built by multiple developers and integrated into a common system. There are two major areas that are needed above the rest.   Common authentication user management Common presentation layer (separating content from presentation)   I am not saying that only one system can do this, for certainly this could be done in FB, Machii and others. Yet the lack of these standards existing has prevented the code reuse on an application level. Currently the extent of code reuse that is robustly integrated is on a CFC level, web services or reusing single files within a site. There are some other examples of code reuse… but for the most part you can’t get a blog, calendar or other application from an external source that integrates with your application because there isn’t a common standard to handle these issues with the more popular methodologies. For all the benefits they bring to the table the lack of application reuse or distribution is a tradeoff that small business in particular cannot usually afford. The same would also be true for departmental applications inside a corporation. The budget just isn’t there to write all the apps they need to have an effective site… and it isn’t going to happen until we catch on to this concept. (Note: These two items are fundamental to building applications for any operating system; windows, linux, etc. To continue to build applications without these standards is like focusing our efforts on the DOS ages and forgetting how much window based OS’s with common system authentication have advanced computer usage.)   </rant>   John Farrar   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Billings, Brian J. (SMG) Sent: Saturday, December 10, 2005 10:20 PM To: CFCDev@cfczone.org; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CFCDev] Blog CFC mod help   All,   I downloaded a copy of Blog CFC from Ray. What I want to do with it is put it under my existing application name (nothing fancy) and allow any user already logged in to act as an admin on the blog. I want to allow them to post and comment showing their name on their posts.   I’m afraid to mess with some of the code I’m looking at. Has anyone that can give me a few quick pointers done this already?         ******* Confidentiality Notice ******* This email, its electronic document attachments, and the contents of its website linkages may contain confidential health information.
