Stace, while we wait for Dave's example apps and documentation of his development approach, I thought I'd let you know that lots of examples and framework code is available at www.fusebox.org for anyone to look at and try out. ;-) Nice to see ya again, btw. Brian Hola Dave! Any chance you'd

I'm not going to get involved much further in this thread because just about everything has been said. Folks who don't like Fusebox still don't like it. Folks that like Fusebox still like it. Folks who don't know about Fusebox, or haven't looked at it lately, might have reason to investigate

Sorry Stace, looks like no example is forthcoming. I was just giving Stace something to do while he waits for the small sample app he asked about, Dave. Ah, I see. At least now, you're omitting the emoticon. If I say that no particular structure is needed solely to organize your CF code, why

Dave, I must admit that this is the nicest and most well-formed post I've seen from you on this thread. Honestly I don't mean to seem like I'm calling you out when I support people asking for sample code from you. It's just hard for me to accept arguments from people who say there is a better

Yeah Shawn, FB has come a ways since FB2, it's a whole lot more structured and efficient. But I confess that I fall into your second group, a person who learned HTML first and slowly got into programming. I'd like to think I've gotten pretty good at it, but there's always much to learn. It's

First, I just want to be sure you understand what the fuseaction actually is. It's in the format circuit.targetfuseaction, where the circuit part is the alias of a Fusebox circuit, and the targetfuseaction part is the actual action within that circuit that you want to execute. I just wanted to

Matt, the point is not whether you can abstract the logical structure from your physical structure in other ways besides using Fusebox. Of course there are. But Fusebox is a standard that thousands of developer know, which in and of itself is a huge advantage. And, there are many, many more

OK, Dave, you're clearly of the lot who will never be convinced about the benefits of Fusebox. That's fine. But I'll go ahead and end this here so that it doesn't degenerate into a series of tit-for-tat exchanges that won't convince anyone of anything. Obviously, I disagree with virtually

I'm right with you Michael. I've heard from plenty of folks just itching for a chance to rip on Fusebox (or any topic at all, actually). But when it comes to actually delivering a superior solution, folks tend to fall suspiciously silent... I would switch from Fusebox to something else in 5

Just a note that this problem is gone in Fusebox 4. Mike we use Fusebox heavily and the only con I have enountered (this is FB30 and CF50) is layouts render CFFLUSH unusable. Otherwise we like FB all the way. Kind Regards - Mike Brunt Original Message --- Hey everyone,

Again, issues like this are not present in Fusebox 4. There are no cfmodule calls necessary. We have a fairly large site, and we have begun to componentize a lot of the web controls such as select drop-down lists, partial displays, and any other functions that are useable. All these

Performance in Fusebox 4 is almost 10 TIMES better than Fusebox 3. In other words, a page that took 400 milliseconds to render in Fusebox 3 takes about 40 milliseconds to render in production mode with Fusebox 4. In addition to cfflush being unuseable within FB layouts, I'll also mention that
