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?

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
