> An example of one of my general folder structures:

> Fuses Folder
> Globals Folder
> application.cfm
> index.cfm

> In the Fuses Folder:
> Users Folder
> Products Folder
> Menu Folder

> The problem I would encounter in the index file is keeping track of which
> fuse a fuseaction belonged.
> Example:
> index.cfm?fa=add is that add a user or a product? So I instead I'd code
> fa=addUser, which helped but it still wasn't always clear. Another way
that
> sort of helped was index.cfm?circuit=products&fa=add.
>
> Now I'm testing another method I'd encourage feedback on:
> Example: index.cfm?fusePath=products.add (this is web safe for IE, I have
> to test it on older browsers, a pipe might have to be use instead of a
dot)
> The first part is the name of the fuse and the second part is the
> fuseAction.
>
> The index file now reads:
> <cfparam name="attributes.fusePath" default="">
>
> <!--- extract the fuse FIRST --->
> <cfswitch expression="#ListFirst(attributes.fusePath, '.')#">
>
> <cfcase value="products">
>
> <!--- extract the fuseaction --->
> <cfswitch expression="#ListLast(attributes.fusePath, '.')#">
> <cfcase value="add">
> <cfinclude template="">
> </cfcase>
> </cfswitch>
>
> </cfcase>
>
> </cfswitch>
>
> Nested Fuses (or circuits) Helped:
> If you wanted to do something like products.specials.add or
> products.limitedtime.toys.add after you've implemented the products.add,
no
> problem. The ListFirst and the ListLast let's you add nested
circuits/fuses
> easily. All you have to do now is nest the cfswitch and use ListGetAt to
> exact the nested circuits/fuses name.
>
> Last thought:
> To avoid coding the fuse path for each link, set it in the app_local file
> and then index.cfm?fusePath=#request.localFusePath#.add
