Subject: RE: FB newbieDavidCheck out the sample portal app at http://www.bjork.net/ for an example of how to do this. In general, don't have one fuse call another one. You introduce dependencies that can probably be avoided if you call the fuses from the fbx_switch instead. In this case, using cfmodule in your layout file is a good way to keep your fuses atomic but achieve the desired effect.Tom-----Original Message-----

Subject: FB newbieHello everyone,I've just recently been introduced to the FuseBox methodology, and am in the process of wrapping my head around it. I've checked out the documentation and examples on fusebox.org, as well as a number of the tutorials on Hal's site. I understand that each of the fuses are supposed to be written to accomplish a very specific function (query a db, display a table, etc), but is it "allowable" for a fuse to include other fuses?For example: If I want to set up a standard template for, say, a news site. The basic page layout will consist of an HTML table. There will be a section at the top of logo, cool graphics, whatever. Another section on the left side for navigation. Main section for displaying the news, dependent on what topic is selection from the left-hand navigation. So I create a dsp file for the header, create a qry file to retrieve a list of news topics, create a dsp file to display those topics, create a qry file to retrieve all the headlines for a given topic, and a dsp file to display the results of said qry. My question is, how do all these tie together? is this where the 'dsp_main.cfm' is used -- to set up the layout of the table, and include the appropriate qry and dsp files? again, is this dsp_main.cfm 'allowed' (under the FB methodology) to include these other files?Am I anywhere near close on this? :)TIA,David==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?bUrFMa.bVKrUu Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
