you could read the files, parse them and store them in a database.
This would increase the load on the DB server, but it would allow you to
Fuesbox the site.
I think the real question is, is converting the site to 100% Fusebox worth
the overhead and headaces? I work with outside developers all the time, my
method is to "box" what I can (a using outside files for queries, action
files and display and including them incline with other code. I know this
breaks the "everything must go through the index.cfm" file but it allows me
to reuse code and the outside devolpers (mostly designers not programers)
work on what they do best.
Please do not get me work I agree with the concept of Fusebox and am
applying it to all the sites i code 100% of but then the dollar is not mine
I am not going to confuse nonprogramers
when I do not need to.
