Hi Al, The fiddly bits, nothing terribly exciting, involve resolving all of the dynamic links into static links, and the testing of this functionality.
For example, take a simple site which is one "menu" page that links to a bunch of "detail" pages, just a single level. First, build the dynamic site, using FLiP and FB3 as usual. Now we want to create a static site. So we use CFMODULE/CFSAVECONTENT/CFFILE to save the menu page, and we CFLOOP through all the Details recordset, using CFMODULE/CFSAVECONTENT/CFFILE to save the detail pages. But of course all of the links on the menu page still point to "index.cfm?fuseaction=site.showdetail&detailID=23" or similar. We don't want that - we want the static menu to point to "detail23.htm" or whatever. So I add an ATTRIBUTE to the app, called "attributes.resolvelinks" or possibly "attributes.staticversion". Use this in the CFMODULE calls to tell the app that it needs to generate static HTML links instead of dynamic FB links. Then, of course, you have to get your display fuses (forms too)to handle the new attribute, and generate appropriately named links. It's no big deal. As a matter of interest, I *used* to do this, pre Fusebox, using CFHTTP. Talk about slow. Talk about unreliable. The CFMODULE method absolutely flies. See ya, Wise ol' Lee (Is Wise Ol' the same as SmartArse?) -----Original Message----- From: Alan McCollough [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Well, cough up the interesting little details! I'm looking to do this very thing, and if wise ol' Lee has already gone down that road, I'd like to avoid any of the pitfalls. > -----Original Message----- > From: BORKMAN Lee [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > I do this for quite a few sites. > > The basic idea is: > > * CFMODULE to execute your dynamically-generated pages; > * CFSAVECONTENT to capture the dynamically-generated pages; and > * CFFILE to save the dynamically-generated page out to a static HTML > file. > > That's about it.
