Re: fusebox: Question about fuseactions and sidebar menu
that would be one way to do it. Pre-fuseactions would give you that functionality. If I was using a pre-fuseaction I wouldn't have it pass back the nav or print it out. instead I would have it set a variable.. such as nav_template_file and then in your main template where you would have your sub nav instead you would do something like: On 12/31/05, Mike Soultanian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dustin Tinney wrote: > > First: > > about.abouthome you should have it be just > > about.home or better yet, about.index... the about should be implied > > by the circuit. > > Yeah, I was going through all my circuits changing them probably at the > same time you were typing it ;) > > > In my design model I would have a action on the about news and > > anything else that would change up your navigation..

Re: fusebox: Question about fuseactions and sidebar menu
First: about.abouthome you should have it be just about.home or better yet, about.index... the about should be implied by the circuit. In my design model I would have a action on the about news and anything else that would change up your navigation.. It would some how set/return a navigation object that would be able to draw it's self, aka, a list or something like that. Use CSS to do the formatting...

Generally I find that Fusebox is easier to debug than other methods, simply because the code is in much more manageable chunks, generally with only one function in a template. Not much to look back through and not much code to wade through. Just my 2p on that aspect of Fusebox. Regards Stephen __ Why Share?

RE: Fusebox Question
So how do you do the following in strict Fusebox style? I have an app where to simplify matters for users they only need enter a Search Term and hit Enter. (I tried making them select an option before they hit enter, but did not feel it was user-friendly enuf. BTW, this kind of follows Creative Good's "Survival Strategy 6: Improving Search" recommendation in their Dotcom Survival Guide, which is a free download at this URL: http://www.creativegood.com/survival, and an interesting read.) If the Search Term IS a Special Pre-Assigned One, then a SQL lookup enables a jump to just that Special Result Page (no action required by the user). In addition to the special results on that page, the page also contains a link to Verity Search Results for the same Search Term. (A somewhat messy alternative would be to display the Verity Search Results below the Special Results.) If the Search Term IS NOT a Special Pre-Assigned One, the result page simply lists the Verity Search Results.

Re: Fusebox Question
I'm not sure if I understand you. But here it goes. This looks like a regular programming construct that could be handled within any CF Block. Just use a query or action file (qry_file or act_file) as appropriate. Remember that templates can be dependent on other templates to do actions, this is a virtual necessity of programming. As long as you use CFINCLUDE, variables will pass from one template to another without a problem. All a CFINCLUDE does essentially is copy and paste the code from it's source into the current page, so variables will carry. Hope this helped, if not, lemme know!
