We are finding (as we start building more and more facilites to access our existing databases) that the includedObj directory is getting full of a lot of files. This is starting to make it difficult to manage.
In some instances, we have created subdirectories to hold ancillary "includes" that are pulled in based on state (think fusebox style of thing with one includedObj that controls a set of functions) but this doesnt always satisfy every need. PROPOSALS: 1. Allow the included objects that are display and accessed to reside in subdirectories - but each "exposed" file will be prefixed with an underscore (_). While this is not restricted as such in FarCry at present, it is the default "model" that is used (I dont know if people who use includedObj have deviated from this at all). 2. Extend the included object facility to have a FarCry config variable to specify one OR MORE subdirectories that can contain included objects. 3. A combination of 1 and 2 where you could specify a filter that indicated what files should be available in the admin tool (like _*.cfm) as well as telling it different directory paths to search. I personally think the 3nd option makes the most sense. AND - I also would add the standard FarCry comments (DisplayName/Author) parsed and displayed in place of the CFM filename (as is done with template files). I am fairly convinced that I can make it all backwards compatible by adding a few config items. Anyone (Paul/Brendan) have any comments or concerns ? If not, I will begin the planning work for this with a view to implementing it for a future release.
