Short answer: Use Fusebox.isTargetCircuit instead. Fusebox.isHomeCircuit always returns true because you're always pointing your browser to the index.cfm in that circuit.
For example, say your site looks like this: /top /top/a /top/a/1 /top/a/2 /top/b /top/c If you call any of these... /top/a/index.cfm?fuseacation=a.hello /top/a/index.cfm?fuseacation=1.hello /top/a/index.cfm?fuseacation=2.hello The value of isHomeCircuit in /top/a/fbx_layouts.cfm will always be true, because "a" is the home circuit. But suppose you call the same fuseactions from "top": /top/index.cfm?fuseacation=a.hello /top/index.cfm?fuseacation=1.hello /top/index.cfm?fuseacation=2.hello Now the value of isHomeCircuit in /top/a/fbx_layouts.cfm will be false. In /top/fbx_layouts.cfm it will be true. The home circuit is the circuit that contains the core file and the fbx_circuits file and the index.cfm to which you point your browser. It sounds like you want to know where the home circuit contains the fuseaction, or whether the fuseaction is found in one of the child circuits. In other words, "Is this circuit the target circuit"? To get that, you can use fusebox.isTargetCircuit. <cfif fusebox.isTargetCircuit> <cfset fusebox.layoutFile="lay_topSection.cfm"> <cfelse> <cfset fusebox.layoutFile="lay_subSections.cfm" </cfif> HTH, Patrick > -----Original Message----- > From: Ney Andr� de Mello Zunino [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 8:18 AM > To: Fusebox mailing list > Subject: Fusebox.isHomeCircuit and layouts > > > Hello. > > The 'Fusebox Newbie Guide' demonstrates how the Fusebox API variable > 'isHomeCircuit' may be used to write control logic in the > fbx_Layouts.cfm file.
