It's a pleasure to help the developers community. I learn a lot from it, so I'm happy to pay forward the little I know. Best regards, Ricardo @Eric,
You are using “#self#” instead of “#myself#”, I believe that’s the problem.
self = “index.cfm”
myself = “#self#?#methodvariable#=”
(in your case myself = “index.cfm?fuseaction=”)

Make a test page and do a <cfdump var=”#myfusebox#” /> in one of your templates, and you will see several variables that you can use too, like myFusebox.thisCircuit, myFusebox.thisFuseaction, etc.

Thank you for your kind words. It’s a pleasure to help the developers community. I learn a lot from it, so I’m happy to pay forward the little I know.

Best regards,
Ricardo

I do have the in the circuit.xml. Any ideas? Ricardo, I have a link and am trying to use Home but it seems to not work. I do have the in the circuit.xml.

Any ideas?

I appreciate your immediate feedback on both of my questions! It's great to know we have community support. Your tutorials have greatly exceeded my expectations with the framework! From one developer to another, thank you! Ricardo, your explanation definitely helps and I am glad we can use CFC’s with your method which makes total sense in my brain.

So, suppose you have a contact form that you call from your "contact" circuit: <fuseaction name="contactUsForm"> <xfa name="formSubmit" value="cforms.contactUsAct" /> <include template="dspContactUsForm" required="true" /> </fuseaction> Then in your template dspContactUsForm.cfm you will write: <form name="contactUs" action="#myself##xfa.formSubmit# method="post"> ..... </form> If you ever need to change the action, just change the XFA in the circuit file. Best regards, Ricardo @Eric,

<include template=”dspContactUsForm” required=”true” />

Then in your template dspContactUsForm.cfm you will write:
<form name=”contactUs” action=”#myself##xfa.formSubmit# method=”post”>
…..
</form>

If you ever need to change the action, just change the XFA in the circuit file.

I usually create a folder ouside the "circuits" folder and call it "components", where I put all global CFC's that I can instantiate from any circuit. But there are other ways to use them, like together with the model circuit if it is an action CFC or with the view circuits if it generates any output. My approach is to set the path in the Application.cfc like: <cfset application.componentPath = "components." /> and in my code I instantiate it like: <cfscript> myObj = createObject("component", application.componentPath & "myComponent").init(); </cfscript> I hope this help you. Thanks. Ricardo @Eric,

I absolutely love how you use the circuit as the controller, that makes total sense to me. Can we use CFC’s with your configuration.

According to the error you pasted, it seems that you have some strange character in the XML file "circuit.xml.cfm" in the folder "circuits/home/model". Maybe you got that when you copied the code from the blog. Sometimes the single quotes are showed as a special character. Try to download the code here: http://ricardo.parente.us/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/FBTutorial.zip Let me know if it works. Thanks. @haroon,
