RE: form re-use

[Michael Rahmn]

we have a param_tableName file for each table that switches on the value edit (1|0). 0 it loads null or your preferred default values and 1 it loads from your select query. I tweaked an existing sql builder script so the param files can be auto-generated in a couple seconds. I've never thought of this as elegant, but it has worked extremely well for us. bonus is the param files have be repurposed.   -mike -----Original Message----- From: Lee Borkman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 2:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: form re-use Hi Kay,   It's been a pretty vexed issue within Fusebox for a while.  Many of us used Steve's CF_ReuseForm tag, but it was always a little strange, although the concept was great.  Patrick went with a set of CFPARAM statements, etc, etc.   I think that the best method around now is to write your form so that expects to have values for each field.  Then for a form of "new" data, simply run CF_QuerySim to create an empty recordset with the appropriate columns, etc, and you can use the same form fuse without any changes.  I won't use the word "elegant" because that's something of a four-letter word around here, but it's quite pretty anyway.   I have also seen Hal use a SQL select with a false condition in the WHERE clause to return an empty recordset.  That is pretty cute too.  Anyway, I'd go with CF_QuerySim.  That tag has many other uses, so why not get used to it? ;-)   Have fun, LeeBB ----- Original Message ----- From: Kay Smoljak   Hi all, Over my last couple of projects, I have tried a couple of different ways to resuse forms (ie a single fuseaction for add or edit product, for example). I'm not really happy with any of them. Now I'm about to start a new large project, and I want it to be the bestest ever :) Does anyone have any *really elegant* methods for reusing forms that they would like to share?
