Hi mike and welcome to Fusebox.   For variables like webroot etc, i'd stick in the root fbx_settings of the application, this make them available to any child circuit in the application. I usually create a variable for a image directory and simply refer to it using the variable name - so if i move the images i simply modifiy the variable in the root fbx_settings. If you only need to refer to webroot in one circuit then you could just use the fbx_settings in that circuit.   As for self posting pages, you could argue that every page in a fusebox app is self posting since the entire application is handled by index.cfm which then passes the requested fuseaction to the specified circuit/fuseaction. most people set a variable called #self# in their root fbx_settings, equal to "index.cfm" so form posts usually looks like   <form action="#self#" method="post">     <input type="hidden" name="fuseaction" value="somecircuit.somefuseaction">     ... </form>   What kind of self posting where you thinking of? The same fuseaction being use to add/update/delete some record based a mode passed to the fuseaction - I think that would be perfectly ok.   This list is the fusebox list, and your questions are perfectly welcome here - no matter how "beginner" you feel they are   does this help?   johnb. -----Original Message----- From: Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 May 2002 20:44 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Newbie Question Hello All,   I am very much a beginner with Fusebox.    I have two questions in Fusebox 3.0 where would I set up variables like the webroot and what is the recommended way to do that?    With fusebox is it recommended to use self posting form pages or not?   I know these questions are very basic and if they don't belong on this could someone direct me to a list for beginners.   Thanks in Advance.   Mike _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by UUNET delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Control Centre.
