You'd have a similar issue with onTap... you'd have to disable the "compression" feature in production mode because the compressed files are stored in the same directory along with the individual templates. ~ontap.cfm (the ~ is to denote that it's a "temporary" file -- which is how dreamweaver and some other IDEs mark them), and then the file is set readonly so that in theory if you ignore the comment at the top about it being generated and not editing it you should still get some kind of alert at least if you try to edit & save the file. It probably would not be a significant performance hit to disable it with most applications. It was designed to reduce the number of cfinclude tags executed in a given request but with most applications now (since adding the html library) the number of tags eliminated would likely be fairly small, so for most applications the performance boost from it is liable to be small as well. > And, a more general one: has anyone found a framework that > actually works on sites that also incorporate Contribute > users?

Yeah that's a sticky wicket... I suppose in theory if you created a template and put that in the web-accessible directories you could use the onTap framework's function libraries and CFC's to generate the layout of the page (header and footer) and let the Contribute users use that template to update content. You would lose some flexibility in the framework -- you wouldn't be able to call the Contribute pages as custom tags from other processes, although it seems unlikely you would want to do that anyway. You would also be required to build your header/footer display (but not display it) in the Application stage which executes during the Application.cfm or during the onRequestStart() event of your Application.cfc. The Contribute template would then just have to display the generated headers and footers and you would also have all the framework's automated code execution, branding, ability to generate tiered/nested layouts and i18n features available to generate your layout. The contribute template would look something like this: <cfoutput>#request.tapi.html.show(request.pageHeader)#</cfoutput> <!-- start contribute editable area --> <!-- end contribute editable area --> <cfoutput>#request.tapi.html.show(request.pageFooter)#</cfoutput> I would use a cache-name to generate the headers and footers also for performance purposes, and might even go so far as to wrap the cfoutputs in the template in a content tag to further cache the output (assuming you can create a cachename that uniquely identifies the current state of the header/footer, which I expect wouldn't be too difficult). i.e. <cfmodule template="#request.tapi.content()#" cachename="#request.cachePageHeader#"> <cfoutput>#request.tapi.html.show(request.pageHeader)#</cfoutput></cfm odule> Unfortunately I don't have access to any contribute licenses to test this approach, but I think the theory is sound. It lacks a little of the flexibility I like about the framework, but it doesn't break any of the fundamental principles of the framework with regard to separating the content from the format. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
