Chris,
I would wholeheartedly recommend that your group adopt Fusebox for your
Intranet. I have a few concerns about FuseBox on public sites (although I
haven't come up with a better idea ... so I use FuseBox) but I think that
FuseBox is ideal for internal stuff.
The downsides to Fusebox that I see are: added complexity to visual design
and search engine friendliness of URLs. It does take a while for some
graphic designers to "get" FuseBox. Most Intranets have less visual design
than public marketing sites anyway and there are certainly other folks on
this list who have created visually appealing FuseBox sites. An Intranet
probably won't need any sort of search engine coverage so that shouldn't be
an important factor.
The benefits of code reuse, greater organization and 'transparency' of code
and improved team development make Fusebox a terrific methodology to use.
Its not the only way to go, but if you don't have a significantly better
solution, Fusebox is definitely the best way.
regards,
Kevin

Please
respond to
fusebox
Hello All,
I am pretty new to the Fusebox list but have been working with Cold Fusion
since version 1.5 (ahh the good ole buggy CGI days)
The company I just went to work for has a pretty nice CF setup. CF Server
on
Sparc Solaris, and an Oracle backend. I am effectively the lead developer
and we are completely retooling the Intranet. The question has risen
whether
we should instantiate some sort of standardized methodology such as
Fusebox.
After the research I have done I am pretty much convinced that we would
benefit from this methodology. My question is (and this comes from my
supervisors as well), is what are the downsides (if any) to Fusebox? I have
already given them my thoughts on the upsides based on my reading / common
sense. Does the fact that the Fusebox methodology seems to inherently
generate the use of more .cfm files than 'normal' on the server create any
kind of performance issues?
Thanks for any and all help.
