Re: fuse location and fbx_switch question

Hi B,

You can use CFMODULE calls within fbx_switch. You do this when you want to reuse a function that is more involved than a simple atomic fuse.

A common example is adding a serach for to a search results page. You have already built the "displaysearchform" fuseaction and another call "displaysearchresults". Now you decide that you'd like to include a form to do another search on the results page. No sweat - use CFMODULE within the displaysearchresults fuseaction to invoke the displaysearchform:

</cfcase>

So this fuseaction invokes one high-level fuseaction, plus two low-level fuses to perform its required job.

That means that you now have the search form code in one and only one place. You can enhance it, optimise it, blah blah blah it, and all the changes get carried into the sewarch results fuseaction as well.

Now, the meaning of fuseaction="adminrules.ValidateEmail" ...

In FB3, each fuseaction lives within a particular circuit. In order to call a particular fuseaction, you have to give the name of the circuit and the name of the fuseaction within that circuit.

So fuseaction="adminrules.ValidateEmail" means "give me the fuseaction called ValidateEmail within the circuit called adminrules".

Hope that helps,

Lee to my rescue again...thanks! Don't want to wear out your
assistance, but 2 questions occur to me:

1) I would use CFMODULE inside fbx_switch, correct?

2) I am not clear on the atribute:

fuseaction="adminrules.ValidateEmail"

So this means you call one fuse to execute within another fuse? That
would seem different than including the code in the fuse you wish to
execute.

Thanks for your help!
