C.F. Frameworks 101?

[J.B. Mentzer-2]

Hi all,

Presently, I'd like to build two database served photo gallery sites:
one for a client and the other for myself. I'm thinking using a
framework to arrange the code will save me time later as I'll be able to
reuse various segments. If I can get the re-use thing to work, there are
a couple of non-database pizza/sub shop sites I might get hired to code.

I've got Fusebox installed, but I'm not sure how to build a new site
using Fusebox's tenets. I've been told Fusebox is tough to learn. I
installed CFWheels, which has great documentation for the noob, but was
told on the Wheels google group Wheels doesn't support Open Blue Dragon.


About me: CF 5 developer c. 2000 trying to get back in the swim. I know
relational database theory, but have yet to master OOP though I would
like to learn. My system: Mac OX 10.4.1 and Open BD 1.1.

Thank you!

Who told you that? Fusebox is probably the easiet framework to learn.
All the others are much more complex.

Download Fusebox 5.5.1 core files ZIP. Unzip it. Place it in your
webroot (as fusebox5). Download Fusebox 5.5 skeleton ZIP. Unzip it.
Copy the contents of the noxml folder to your webroot. Hit index.cfm
in a browser. You have a basic FB app running.

Add display pages in the view folder. Add methods to the CFC in the
controller folder. ?fuseaction=foo.bar calls method bar() on foo.cfc
in the controller folder. That method has myFusebox.do(
action="display.someview" ) which displays view/display/someview.cfm
and that's all you need to get going.
