Hi Lee,

Knew I could count on you to help me out! But then I guess it's that
time of the day when our Yank friends are slumbering.

What you're describing is exactly the method we were using before, but
with cfcontent not cfinclude. However, there's a few things I need to
keep in mind. Firstly, apart from changing the links to ".cfm" instead
of ".html", I don't want to require anything else of the content guy.
He's finding it tough, I already made him use relative links instead of
absolute (his norm). Secondly, I have recently found out that these guys
consider their visitor statistics to be vital, particularly exactly
which pages are being requested most often. They are on shared hosting
with LiveStats 5 and I already know from (painful) experience that it
refuses to watch URLs the way it's meant to. 

What I was wondering was if there is any other amazing magical way...
like maybe passing the login status to the application.cfm in the
content directory, but in a secure way somehow. I don't know. It's been
a long day, and I'm out of ideas.

Thanks for your help, I owe you a beverage of your choice. By the time
you finally make it out to Perth I'm going to owe you a lot of those :)

K.

Hi Kay,

If these "static" files are all stand-alone CFM templates, then you can
CFINCLUDE them like any display fuse.

How about a fuseaction called "static.showfile" which takes the filename
as input, and dynamically includes the appropriate static file?  Of
course, you'd need to resolve any links within the static content.

Is that the kind of thing you have in mind?

Hi all,

I have an interesting problem - well I think it's interesting anyway. I
have an FB3 app for a subscription-based content site. My app handles
all the subscriptions, payments, logins, logouts, permissions, updating
of details, forgotten passwords etc etc. The protected content, which
someone non-CF handles, is static html. It was going to be stored
outside of the web root, but during testing the performance was quite
bad, so I've decided to make the HTML person name all his files .cfm and
store them in a particular directory within the web root. 

What I don't know is how I'm going to have access to these files
controlled by my FB3 app, without requiring them to be in in the FB3
framework. Has anyone done anything like this before? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Kay.
