FOS Fusebox Open Source Standards GOOD

FOS Fusebox Open Source

Standards GOOD • Built to match needs of an environment • Proven Solutions BAD • Environments change • Solutions change

Standards Q: What do you do if standards don’t solve the problem? A: Adaptable Standards!

Standards

Standards Strategies for change… Evolve “Naturally”: • Random changes • Things will change by natural processes • The best solution will naturally rise to the top Create • Change based on intelligence • Not being all knowing, this will not always work… but consider the alternative. • No Choice is Evolution

Standards Creative Approach

Standards Creative Approach Benefits • Adapts to change Challenges • Change based on intelligence • Not being all knowing, this will not always work… but consider the alternative. • No Choice is Evolution

Standards • ABC’s Of Open Source

Standards • ABC’s Of Open Source – Ants – Bees – Conies

Standards • ABC’s Of Open Source – Ants • No King – (success based on contribution, not control)

Standards • ABC’s Of Open Source – Ants – Bees • Adapt to season • Prepares for changing environment • Knows when to split hive

Standards • ABC’s Of Open Source – Ants – Bees – Conies • Rock Dwellers • Knows not to challenge greater foes • Knows where to take refuge

Standards • ABC’s Of Open Source

Standards • ABC’s Of Open Source (These are proven survive and thrive methods. ) – Know your foes, don’t challenge them. – Build on the work of others. – Change will come, contribute to it! – WE can do more than ME!

FOS – Core Objects

FOS – Core Objects • FOS • CORE (dynamic name through config. ) FOS Core

FOS – Configuration

FOS – Configuration • Site – “site_settings. cfm” • Circuits (global) – “site_settings. cfm” Site Circuits

FOS – Circuits (Order)

FOS – Circuits (Order) • circuit_settings. cfm • circuit_switch. cfm • [layout] Settings Switch Skin Site Root Bundle Nest Target

FOS – Nested Inline Calls

FOS – Nested Inline Calls • circuit_settings. cfm • circuit_switch. cfm • [layout] Request Site Root Bundle Nest Target Action Target Site Root Bundle Nest Target (Nested) Action

FOS – API Variables

FOS – API Variables • Request API variable structure – hj (0|1 … 1 = possible hijack attempt) – block (display groups) – circuits (circuit application settings) – site (global site application settings)

FOS – API Variables (block)

FOS – API Variables (block) • request – block (display groups) • • body [sidebar] [breadcrumbs] [? ? ? custom ? ? ? ] These are handled in the XDS (exit display skin).

FOS – API Variables (circuits)

FOS – API Variables (circuits) • request – circuit (name) • • • XDS – Exit Display Skin actionname – allows for different action variable bundle – Circuit Application Collection defaultaction – If none given dir – Physical Location on System DSN – Data Source Structure – – • • • name password tables (for aliasing if used) user (Name) nest – Circuit Nesting Location objects – local circuit object location parent – name of parent circuit path – web path from root (Absolute Dynamic Reference [/ = from web root]) roles – authorized roles required to access

FOS – API Variables (site)

FOS – API Variables (site) • request – Site • actionname (default action variable for site) • app – root (main circuit) – tables (for aliasing if used) • application – name (cfapplication name) – timeout (application timeout) • core (name of core object in shared objects directory)

FOS – API Variables (site) • request – Site • • • corefile (variation used on this site, file name) DIR (site root dir) roles (authorized roles required to access) script (default script …index. cfm / index. cfc) server – name (Web Server Name) – version (Web Server Version) • session – timeout (session timeout)

FOS – API Variables (site) • request – Site • slash (physical directory slash for system) • standard – – name (FOS) version (4) custom ([FOS]) customversion ([4]) • url (non-secure … this url) • urlsecure (secure … this url) • webdir (root physical directory on server)
