Option
#1 here was what I was looking for -- thanks for the help!
Another question: I understand the reason for the separation of
queries from display files, but am not sure about how they are supposed to
interact with each other. For example, if I cfinclude
qry_somequery.cfm, and immediately after it I cfinclude dsp_somedisplayfile.cfm
to display the results of that query, there is somewhat of a dependency between
the 2 in that the name of the query has to be the same in both files,
right? In order to make the 2 independent, should the query name be
defined elsewhere (say, in fbx_settings or in the particular fuseaction in
fbx_switch)? How do you make the dsiplay file do what it needs to do with a
recordset without hardcoding the name of the query? -- or am I missing something
here?

Subject: RE: Newbie Q: Layouts and display fileslet me check that i'm understanding you correctly...do you mean that one section of the site home page you want to display this login cell? But on any other page you don't want to display the login cell?2 ways to accomplish this i think:You're gonna need some conditional logic calling the login fuseaction as a CFMODULE...you know what fuseaction the home page is don't you? So why not use something like:<cfif attributes.fuseaction is "home.startpage"><cfmodule template="#fusebox.rootpath##self#" fuseaction="login.showlogin"><cfelse>...</cfif>in the cell in question. You'd need to supress the layout for the login.showlogin fuseaction else you'll end up with layouts within layouts.*OR*You could move the conditional logic into the fbx_layouts file, and have two seperate layout files, one with the login and one without, something like:<cfif Fusebox.isCustomTag or attributes.suppressLayout>
<cfset Fusebox.layoutDir="">
<cfset Fusebox.layoutFile="lay_clean.cfm">
<cfelse attributes.fuseaction is "home.startpage">
<cfset Fusebox.layoutDir="">
<cfset Fusebox.layoutFile="lay_typical_with_login.cfm"><cfelse><cfset Fusebox.layoutDir="">
<cfset Fusebox.layoutFile="lay_typical.cfm">
</cfif>does this help? hopefully it'll set you off in the right direction - if not just post back.If it was me, i'd be more inclined to go with the first option......john.-----Original Message-----

Subject: Newbie Q: Layouts and display filesHello all,I'm BEGINNING to understand the basics of FB (3), but am stuck on the right "fusebox approach" to handle a situation.The website I am working on has a central template which will be the basis of every page. When the site first comes up, it will display this template, and in one section (table cell) will be an area for a current user to enter his/her username and PW. But this is the only time this dsp file should be displayed. So how do you define and manipulate which dsp files are included at different times? All the examples I have seen either have a basic template with dynamic content added via #Fusebox.layout#? Also, how are layout files and display files related?TIA,David
