Yes I had doubling up problems. I have tried #1 in the past with mixed results but will try #2 in the future. The problem is that I'm not allowed to do projects in XFB or FB3 so I don't get much practice. I haven't really touched what I did a few months ago.
I think the problem I had had more to do with what I was trying to do than how I went about it. To make a long story short my I broke my app in to two parts. The top was cfmoduled and controlled the bottom part. This required that the top had to know which circuit called it. I got it to work but it left a bad taste in my mouth. I think that if I went back to it now I might see it in a new way. It certainly doesn't sound difficult for most applications the way you describe it.

I do cfmoduling fusecation from other circuits all the time in both, FB2 and FB3. For me it was one of the things that hasn't changed a bit, from FB2 as in XFB and FB3, apart that I have to use the dot.notation in the call. <CFMODULE template="#fusebox.rootPath#/index.cfm" fuseaction="user.ShowForm"> What most people throws at the beginning is probably that their layouts double up on them, which makes some pretty dorky looking pages. And you have to deal with this in your fbx_layouts.cfm of the circuits and the home circuit I have seen probably a dozen ways to accomplish suppression of the layout. Two of them seem to be wide spread: 1) is to use the built-in variable isCustomtag and to write this in fbx_layouts.cfm. Basically saying if this fuseaction is called as a customtag don't use the layoutfile. the fusebox.layout is passed through as is. if (fusebox.isCustomTag EQ "no") { fusebox.layoutFile = "lay_circuitorhome.cfm"; }else {fusebox.layoutFile = ""; } 2) Another way is to create a 'supressLayout' switch in your fbx_settings.cfm <cfparam name="supressLayout" default="false"> In your fbx_layout.cfm if (supresslayout EQ FALSE) { fusebox.layoutFile = "lay_circuitorhome.cfm"; }else {fusebox.layoutFile = ""; } and the cfmodule call is: <CFMODULE template="#fusebox.rootPath#/index.cfm" fuseaction="fs.ShowForm" supresslayout = "yes"> The supressLayout is a little more flexible as you also can use it for other stuff in your fbx_switch.cfm <cfcase value="fuseaction"> <cfset supresslayout = TRUE? cfinclude etc... </cfcase> I could have totally missed the point however. If that's the case, please elaborate on the "cumbersomeness" in your posting.:-)) Cheerio, -- Birgit ------------------------------ Thursday, April 18, 2002, 3:43:20 PM, you wrote: Csc> I hope this question gets a lot of attention.
