RE: Using Fusebox to create a static site

what about changing #self# to blank (or '/'), using SES urls, then using the 404 page to do the cfmodule (or include), savecontent & cffile. Chuck in a cfdirectory and off you go.

Then all you've got to worry about is clearing out the old stuff.

becomes

If this doesn't exist then off goes the 404, validates the url, creates the page (if applicable), and includes the page to display it (or cflocates to the newly created page).

And i suppose you can get creative with your URL names as long as your 404 knows how to interpret them.

I played around with something similar while ago, including using js to do the equivalent of a form GET except with SES urls, and thats when the disk started filling up - in a search form with 1000's of possible criteria it seemed a bit OTT to save the results as static pages.

Recently I've moved away from caching generated HTML, and started caching the data as cfscript due to the drag of having to maintain different version of the same page with different look and feel (co-branding, browser compatability, etc), lack of any session tracking etc.

Hi Mike,

I do this for quite a few sites.

The basic idea is:

CFMODULE to execute your dynamically-generated pages;
CFSAVECONTENT to capture the dynamically-generated pages; and
CFFILE to save the dynamically-generated page out to a static HTML file.

That's about it. There's some interesting little details, but it's no great problem.

See ya,

LeeBB

Hey all. I remember quite a long time ago, there was some talk about using Fusebox to go an build a static snapshot of your site. For example, you might run a fuse called "buildSite" which would go out to your DB, and dump a static html site to disk (the person that originally posted this mentioned how fast your site would be, being static HTML, but easily updated with Fusebox).

Anyone remember this? Anyone try this? Am I nuts for even thinking about this?
