Prior to FuseBox 4, there was a HUGE issue which meant that I couldn't/wouldn't use it; All of the FB files had to be held in folders under each website/application that it was running on When you run 30-40 sites on the same technology, spread over 3-4 servers, this was completely unusable With FB4 allowing centralised files, this helped an awful lot, but there are still restrictions I tried to build an app on FB2, then another client wanted a site with exactly the same technology - this meant duplicating the files over the 2 folders - whenever I did updates, I had to upload to 2 locations Over time it went to several more sites, thus more uploads At that point, I thought "I REALLY wish I hadn't used FuseBox for this" - I had to scrap most of the code and start again It would have been easier to have started with a centralised system - at the time, FuseBox was fine for individual sites, but as soon as you wanted the same technology on multiple sites, it became unmanageable... At this point, I'm too far away from anything FuseBox to convert to it, and I'm happy developing my way - although the current FuseBox architecture is VERY similar to the system I designed for myself about 4 years ago, and am still using something very similar What does that say about FuseBox? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
