I have no idea what you mean by a "blocks" subdirectory, but then again its
been awhile since I read the docs.
However, the way I do it is I have my main index page. On that page is
app_globals(if its in the parent directory) or app_locals (if its in a child
directory.) and a CFSWITCH. On the app_globals page, I call
cf_formurl2attributes tag and set any global parameters (like
attributes.dsn) using CFPARAM. On app_locals, I have an include pathed to
app_globals and any local parameters (like attributes.SteveNelsonsCreditCard
for the default payment creditcard). Then, the switch is set up like this
<cfswitch expression="#attributes.fuseaction#">
<cfcase value="forum,forumtopics,forumpostadd,forumpost,forummessage"
delimiters=",">
<cfset title = "Forum">
<cf_act_htmltags>
<cfinclude template="forum/index.cfm">
</cf_act_htmltags>
</cfcase>
<cfdefaultcase>
<cf_act_htmltags>
<cfinclude template="dsp_home.cfm">
</cf_act_htmltags>
</cfdefaultcase>
</cfswitch>
or framed like this
<CFCASE VALUE="navside">
<cf_act_htmltags>
<cfinclude template="dsp_nav_side.cfm">
</cf_act_htmltags>
</CFCASE>
<CFCASE VALUE="navglobal">
<cf_act_htmltags>
<cfinclude template="dsp_nav_global.cfm">
</cf_act_htmltags>
</CFCASE>
<CFCASE VALUE="splash">
<cf_act_htmltags>
<cfinclude template="dsp_admin_login.cfm">
</cf_act_htmltags>
</CFCASE>
<CFCASE VALUE="someotherfusaction">
<cf_act_htmltags>
<cfinclude template="dsp_somepage.cfm">
</cf_act_htmltags>
</CFCASE>
<CFDEFAULTCASE>
<cf_act_htmltags_frames>
<frameset rows="137,*" border="0" frameborder="no" framespacing="0">
<frame name="header" src="index.cfm?fuseaction=navglobal"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" noresize>
<frameset cols="150,*">
<frame name="nav" src="index.cfm?fuseaction=navside"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" noresize>
<frame name="main" src="index.cfm?fuseaction=splash"
marginwidth="2" marginheight="2" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0" noresize>
</frameset>
</frameset>
</cf_act_htmltags_frames>
</CFDEFAULTCASE>
Note in a framed enviroment once you have your frame set the rest is just
calling fusactions and targeting your splash page or whatever frame name you
want the code to appear in..
So basically, my directories are set up by application and my main index.cfm
paths to those child apps using a comma delimited list of fuseactions that
go to a specific app.
If you are wondering what <cf_act_htmltags> is, its just a tag I use to put
all my opening and closing html tags including javascript and CSS stuff
because I hate to type.
In my opinion, the best way to understand Fusebox is to download the Fusebox
Specs zip file. Then look at the code as you read the docs. The docs
themselves are a fusebox app.
I suppose you could put all your queries in a queries folder for each
subdirectory ect, but I don't but that much effort into my directory
structure.
Also, any security for the main directory or child directories I put on that
that directory's application.cfm
Hope this helps
