Fusebox

[GUJUm0deL]

I'm trying to learn FuseBox anyone have any ideas? Is there an online based tutorial that explains how Fusebox works and has some sample code I can look at?

Thanks.

fusebox.org maybe?

why use it? it's a more complicated way to use CF.

Fusebox 4 is way more complicated than Fusebox 3. So, it depends on which one you want to learn. Also, couple books may help as well...

I've never been impressed with Fusebox, I actually downloaded it once and tried to do stuff with it, but decided it's more work that it's worth. It's just like peesoup said, a more complicated way to use CF. I think it may be good in an environment where you have multiple developers working on something, but other than that I can't really see a use for it.

Just my opinion, though. I don't like Dreamweaver either. (-:



Hope This Helps!

I don't see why you would want to take a web scripting language with "ease of use" as a main concern in its development and turn it into an Object Oriented Language, a half assed one at that.

XML "fuses" and "circuits" to dynamically include content? use cfinclude. goofy URL's that aren't user friendly to remember... I don't see any value added in using fusebox. if you want to learn something new, try something more practical than fusebox like asp.net or java.

Thanks for all the replies. I agree with you all that fusebox is more hassle then its worth. I was asking because I might be offered a position where they use Fusebox 4 so I wanted to learn up on it (in case they offer me the position and I accept it).

I did a google search for "fusebox" and even went to fusebox.org but nothing really helpful there.

I looked at

https://data.georgetown.edu/uis/web/coldfusion/fusebox/coding.html

which kind of gives a broad overview of how fusebox is setup and works.

From the link above it seems that you would have all your queries on one page, action on another page. How does fusebox handle situations where you have a form that submits to itself?

you will have a hidden variable called fusebox.fuseaction. then in the fbx_Switch.cfm, you will

<cfswitch expression = "#fusebox.fuseaction#">
<cfcase value="something">
<cfinclude template="qry_something.cfm">
<cfinclude template="dsp_something.cfm">
</cfcase>

and so on.
