re[2]: [ACFUG Discuss] writing a Content Mngmt system in CF..FAQ or Howto?

[Mischa Uppelschoten ext 10]

Ajas, to answer your question about the files being created: I don't think any content management system would dynamically create code and then execute it, just to display a piece of content. I'd say that would be a very expensive operation and not very scalable. The CM's I have seen usually have some sort of template with a stylesheet that defines colors etc. The actual content (with a minimum of markup) is stored in a table and retrieved when a user requests a certain page: /show.cfm?template=ProductPage&ContentID=25. The only possible application I can think of for page generation, is to generate true static html files on a regular basis to offload your database.   Hope that makes sense? Mischa.   > > > > user.
