I'm working on an FB3 intranet portal (first biggish FB3 app I've built).  Fairly 
standard; the portal will have global navigation header
and footers, and contains many "mini-applications" such as a forum.  Using the forum 
mini-app as an example, it is self-contained and therefore I think I should call it 
using cfmodule rather than cfinclude (to ensure that local variables in the portal 
circuit are not falsely overwritten etc).

My question is, where in my code is the most elegant place to put the actual cfmodule 
call to the forum mini-app?

Obviously I can't include the cfmodule call in my href link to the forums app.

One option I've thought of is to create a forum fuseaction in my top-level portal 
circuit which cfmodules
the mini-app, and link to this fuseaction from my portal.

e.g. on the display page: <a href="#self#?fuseaction=#thisCircuit#.forum">Forums</a>
         
         and in the switch:
         <cfcase value="forum">
                <cfmodule template="#self#" fuseaction="forum.display_forums">
        </cfcase>
        
The other option I can think of would I be to link straight to the forum circuit from 
my href on the display page, but I can't see how to cfmodule rather than cfinclude in 
this case.

am I thinking about this along the right lines?

thanks

John
