We're redoing a site using FarCry, and have got into the habit of saving files that validate data and which have no display component into the includedobj folder, creating a nav node for them in the Utility tree, giving the node an alias and then using "/index.cfm?objectid=#application.navid.itsalias#" as the url to which the preceding form submits.
Doing that is starting to seem like a lot of extra work for no great benefit -- sure, you get see the page in the Utility menu, but so what? It's not like that page is reusable by any other.
I'm not sure I understand why you are doing this. It's certainly not a use we have previously envisaged. What sort of forms are we talking about?
For forms there are lots of approaches:
- build an include object that is a *self-posting* form so that the form and action are in the same page.
- build a custom object, and write an edit method
- write a page totally seperate from everything and put it under the webroot eg. printfriendly.cfm
There are also PLPs -- the wizard mechanism for building forms. These are a very powerfull set of tags.
Give us an outline of the problem you are trying to solve and we'll see if we can think of some appropriate approaches using FarCry.
