When I converted to fusebox several years ago, I had one app that I did not
convert to fusebox that relied on auto create. I ended up turning auto create
off and created my own local variables. I just stuck this code in the app
driver. It just does what fusebox does to create $attributes and then stuffs
$attributes into local variables.
It is just a band-aid until you can figure out what is wrong.
if (request info{"*request method"} = "POST")
$attributes := merge collections(query params; form variables) // POST
overwrites GET
else
$attributes := merge collections(form variables; query params) // GET
overwrites POST
end if
for each ($attributes; $key; $value)
$localKey := "$"+$key
if (not(collection has(local variables;$localKey)))
local variables{$localKey} := $value
end if
end for each
