Title: Message
Interesting. I must admit that I had never before
seriously considered symbolic links as a potential workaround for separating
logical from physical nesting in FB3. That would mean I can implement my
underground "Operation Experiment" app without having to hack the core.
Perhaps it could come out of hiding ;-)
Still, symbolic links - blechhh. They always end in
tears.

no,
as usual you're spot on Lee - but i did have to test it, even though i knew it
wouldn't work!
I
used a really simple two circuit app, then moved the child circuit above the
application root and created a virtual directory with the same name mapped to
the child circuit folder...although on a Win2k server.
*HOWEVER for info*
Win2k server does have an equivalent to symbolic links in the guise of
"Distributed File System" which can be run in standalone mode without the need
for an active directory. It's pretty neat what you can do, redirecting folders
on one server to another folder on the same or different server - i haven't
tried it but i believe that would work.
jb..
I couldn't say for certain, John, not being a frequent
IIS user, but I don't think that any web-server mapping would be
relevant. If it were the operating system that had the mapping that
might be a different matter. Symbolic links under Unix should work,
for example.

another question on this:
am I right in thinking
that the use of virtual folders (e.g. in IIS) to map a folder which is not
a physical subfolder of a website to e.g. mysite.com/child would similarly
not allow for proper
nesting?
