I have just began work on a new ColdFusion site for a client. It's not a
large
site, but has the potenial to grow a ton. After reading the FuseBox book, as
well
as Hal Helms excellent article "Extending FuseBox 101" I decieced to give
it a try.
My problem is that I am still somewhat confused on how to pass FuseActions
to a Ciruit
Application and then how to let the Circuit know to handle certain requests,
or to pass the
action back to the HomeApplication or if I even should? If this doesn't make
much sense
remember, I said I confused.
Below is an example of what I'm talking about.
====================================================
Mini Structure
My_Home_Application/
|
|__About_Us_Section/
|
|__Products_Section/
|
|
index.cfm
app_globals.cfm
dsp_homepage.cfm
====================================================
Okay, here is my index.cfm, and lets just
say I want to call the "Products" section of
my website.
<cfswitch expression="#attributes.fuseaction#">
<cfcase value="products">
<cfinclude template="products/index.cfm">
</cfcase>
</cfswitch>
I'm guessing this is correct.
Now the application goes to the products/index.cfm
page, which looks like this.
<cfswitch expression="#attributes.fuseaction#">
<cfcase value="products">
<cfinclude template="dsp_products.cfm">
</cfcase>
</cfswitch>
This is where I'm getting confused. Do the
FuseActions still call the HomeApplication
index.cfm page, or since I'm now inside of
my CiruitApplication do I want to call the
circuit applications index.cfm page to handle
the FuseActions from this level. Or do I want all
FuseActions, no matter where they are called from
to be sent to the HomeApplication index.cfm and
then let them filter down to the correct <cfcase>
statement, no matter what index.cfm page I'm
starting from.
Okay. Sorry this is so long, but I really need
some advice/help with this one. What I guess I'm
really asking is how do people handle this relationship
between CircuitApplications and HomeApplications.
Thanks so much.
