Thanks for that John,
yeah i've played about with the vars and the problem is
they're wrong hehe. Fusebox.rootpath is pretty useless to me
in general so far... For the cfmodules I've added a variable
request.blocksPathToRoot which fixes it up.
There are a couple of things I've changed in openforums to get
this working, do they sound right?:
a) I've had to remove references to fusebox.rootpath in all
links etc in any circuit other than the home circuit. All
exits now point simply to #self#. It works, but seems
strange.
b) I've had to use a cfset request.queryPath in the
fbx_settings of every sub-circuit, instead of cfparam, because
I need this:
#fusebox.rootpath#queries
to use the fusebox.rootpath as pertains to that circuit.
Otherwise the globally set value in the home fbx_settings
overrides it and because fusebox.rootpath is empty when called
from the home circuit....
cheers,
Toby
