Re: ONE Ring to Rule them all
Use version control and an automated deployment framework. You still have 6-9 copies (can't share across servers), but you can manage them as one. cheers, barneyb On Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 12:50 PM, Colman, Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I maintain 6 - 9 similar CF websites spread across three different Windows and Linux servers.

Re: ONE Ring to Rule them all
Is there any practical way to use ONE Application.CFM file in ONE place for all of these sites? For all my sites, I have a virtual directory on the same common directory. Then for all sites, /common/... refers to the same directory on the server. In particular, all my Application.cfm start with: CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE=/common/applicationCommon.cfm And this may be used for many other occasions. -- ___ REUSE CODE! Use custom tags; See http://www.contentbox.com/claude/customtags/tagstore.cfm (Please send any spam to this address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Thanks. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:308692 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: ONE Ring to Rule them all
One way to do that is to put store your application variables in your SQL database (or whatever database you use). That way, in your appication.cfm / application.cfc files, you can do a query to pull out the values for various application variables such as file_upload_path, application_home, debug_setting and so forth. So long as an application variable used by one web application is defined in the table for all web applications. I am sure that is clear as mud. :-) So, here is an example: Put the following two blocks of code in your application.cfm / application.cfc files: cfquery name=application.application_wide_variables datasource=my_dsn select application_name, application_home, file_upload_path from control_center /cfquery cfset application.application_name = application.application_wide_variables.application_name Just to be sure to set up a data source by the same name (my_dsn in this example) in all of your applications.
