The virtual directory will take care of the .css and image files, but
you'll need to add a mapping for the CFML to work, I think.

Virtual Directories and cfinclude
Recently, I've been trying to "modularize" all code needed
for a particular function with a directory that exists outside
the root directory of a website.
I have some functionality that is common to many websites
and need to reference the files on if a site uses said functionality.
For instance, I have a real estate website that uses a
"subdivision" function. Not all do, but this one does.
I decided to move the "subdivision" folder outside the root
of all the websites that might use it and put it under its own
directory in the webroot.
I can create a virtual directory in IIS easily enough to reference
files within the "subdivision" folder.
However, if I try to reference files within the main websites
structure from within the "subdivision" folder under the webroot
using cfinclude, I can't. At least not using relative links, as far as
I can tell.
I want to keep all content, .cfm's, .cfc's, .css files etc., outside of the
main website folder structure so that if that function ("subdivisions", in
this case)
is not used, then none of the files and assets need be part of
the website's directory structure and content.
Make any sense?
In the end, it amounts to wanting to have a way for referencing cfincludes,
such as menu structure file, from within the folder structure of the
external
directory "subdivisions" as I can reference files from within "subdivisions"
folder
by using a virtual directory in IIS.
Maybe I'm missing something very obvious.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick
