Umm... no my original thinking was just to have the one Application.cfm
in the root /agents/ folder to include the root app.cfm from the parent
app, so that one app.cfm in agents would run all the agents... however...
if you're planning to give them urls like /c21ar.com/agents/[agent]/
then it's conceivable you could use an application.cfm in each directory
to identify the agent and set up the environment for their page. I
wouldn't put all the code in their individual application.cfm however if
you're going to do that, I would create a function (or maybe even a CFC
:) in the parent application.cfm and then in the app.cfm for the
individual agent, you can just call that function to set up the
environment like
/agents/Application.cfm
<cfinclude template="../Application.cfm">
<cfset agentEnv = CreateObject("component","agentEnv").init() />
/agents/[agent]/Application.cfm
<cfinclude template="../Application.cfm">
<cfset agentEnv.setup("[agent]") />
if that makes sense. ;)
but no originally I was just thinking you would have just the
/agents/Application.cfm and it would perform whatever variable
testing it needed to perform to identify the agent. I suppose
actually rather than another Appication.cfm in each directory
you could just have an /index.cfm that includes "../index.cfm"
or the like - that way you've still got just the one application.cfm
and really just the one page template too... unless you wanted
to cache some custom layout for them in their index template.
