Hi Jeff, I am also stumped with FB 4. I read Discovering Fusebox 4 from Techspedition. I understand the prinicple but don't feel comfortable with it. Would you book help? Where can I get it? And now that we are at 4.1 is it still up to date?

At the moment just as I thiunk I am 'getting it' I manage to confuse myself again. I am presently stuck on getting my head around the Circuit.xml files at the moment. In my fusebox.xml file I have the defaultfuseaction set to login.userdetails, I do not have anything entered into my main circuit.xml file. I have a circuit called login and inside that i have a circuit.xml file with a fuseaction called 'userdetails' that then includes a > login page. My idea being that once I have validated the login I will redirect to another circuit called default that will also contain a circuit.xml file that contains a fuseaction called 'homepage' that includes the default homepage file and holds the page output inside a contentvariable (with me so far?) and also a 'do' call that builds the page presentation that then refers to the contentvariable. I think that I am getting tied up on the whole pre/postfuseaction, globalfuseactions, etc bit. Am I hea > > ding along the right lines with my thinking here? Are you able to have pre/post fuseactions inside every circuit.xml file if needed? Am I barking up ther wrong tree here?
