Thanks Rich. That's a relief!!
Yes, CF_XFB does sort of take the place of FORMURL2ATTRIBUTES. Actually, it
does a whole lot more:
- Scopes form and URL vars to ATTRIBUTES (CF_all2scope)
- Sets up circuit definitions by recursively reading circuits.cfm files
(CF_addCircuits)
- Translates two part fuseaction into a fully qualified hierarchical
fuseaction (if not already done)
- Returns a structure (XFB) with two variables (myAction:boolean and
nextCircuit:a subdir) so that index.cfm doesn't have to deal with the
request.circuits list.
To summarise, CF_XFB implements Hals' XFB architecture, while removing most
of the code from index.cfm. This has a few benefits:
- Doesn't frighten people;
- Makes index.cfm MUCH more readable;
- Allows site-wide changes to be made to the XFB architecture by simply
changing the CF_XFB tag;
- Prevents developers from breaking the basic XFB logic when all they want
to do is add a new fuseaction to index.cfm.
More controversial (I imagine) is CF_AddCircuits, which makes recursive
calls to the circuits.cfm files to build the entire circuits definition. On
my low-end NT machine, the recursive processing adds 20 milliseconds to each
page with an application with four sub-circuits. On the other hand, the
definition of the circuits does not have to duplicated in every circuit's
circuits.cfm. This makes maintenance and enhancement much simpler, ad is
inherently more robust.
Have a play with it all, and let me know how it all looks,
Thanks very much for you interest,
Lee.

OK its working now. So xfb.cfm takes the place of
formurl2attributes.cfm?

Hi Toad,
It looks like you have the previous version. If you get the latest from
Bjork.net, it should be fine.
