Hey
Lee,
Nah,
skipping all layouts except the current is what I want to do - it's for a help
pop-up window. That works great!
Thanks,
Kay.
What exactly do you want, Kay? You want the child
layout, but NOT the parent, and then you still want the grandparent
layout? Or do you just want the child layout and
nothing above that?
If it's just the child layout and nothing else, then you
can just set attributes.suppresslayout at the end of the child's
fbx_layouts. Make sure all your other fbx_layout files pay attention to
that flag.
If you want to skip the parent layout only, then that's
a little trickier. Perhaps, in that case, you should really consider of
the child is REALLY a child pof the parent, or if it should be a sibling
instead, because the layouts are nutually exclusive, which doesn;t really
suggest a child-parent relationships.
But if you are happy that child-parent is really the way
it should be, then you can create a skiplayout flag, or even a skiplayout as a
number to say exactly how many layouts to skip.
Here is a snippet from another conversation I had
recently about this same question.
Perhaps it's the kind of thing you are looking
for.
Let us know how you go.
See ya,
Leebles
-------------------------------------------------------------------
How about this in the Child.Birthday
fuseaction:
<cfcase
value="birthday">
<cfinclude blah blah>
<cfinclude blah
blah>
<cfset
attributes.skiplayout="true">
</cfcase>
Now, all we need is to write
fbx_layouts that handle this #attributes.skiplayout#
flag:
<cfparam
name="attributes.skiplayout" default="false">
<cfif
attributes.skiplayout and NOT fusebox.isTargetCircuit>
<cfset
fusebox.layoutfile="">
<cfset
attributes.skiplayout="false"> <cfelse>
<cfset
fusebox.layoutfile="lay_normal.cfm">
</cfif>
<cfset
attributes.skiplayout="false">
Now, that doesn't require
circuits to have any knowledge of each other. It only requires that you
choose to use a particular flag called #attributes.skiplayout#. You
could even make a #attributes.skiplayout# hold
a number, so you can define how many layouts you want to be
skipped. Now, I'm not saying that this is a great idea, because it
assumes that your child knows something about the higher-level layouts, but
perhaps you get an idea of the kind of information tha circuits can pass to
each other, without having to know any detailed information about each
other.
You will find that both the
Child and Parent circuits would be completely portable into any application
that used the #attributes.skiplayout# flag, without any modification at all, because the circuits don't
assume anything about each other. Instead, the circuits tell
each other what they need to know. In this case, the Child.Birthday
fuseaction tells all the other circuits that it does not want the Circuit
above (note that it doesn't know anything about the circuit above) to add any
layout. The Parent circuit has access to this information, only
because the Child circuit has explicitly supplied it, and the Parent circuit
knows nothing else about the Child circuit, but it has been told everything it
needs to know, ie no layout from the circuit above.

Hi all,
What do I do if I want to apply the child
layout for a child circuit,
but don't want the parent layout to be
applied afterwards? I thought
that was covered in the FB3LayoutApp
example, but it doesn't seem to be.
Right now I'm using an
attributes.suppresslayout flag to apply all
layouts or
none.
