Welcome to Sorcerer's Isle, a weblog covering a multitude of topics, ranging from programming to 3D graphics; photography to gadgets; tutorials to tinkering. Fusebox

<p>The highly anticapted next major version of Fusebox has finally been <a href="http://www.fusebox.org/index.cfm?objectID=A13FA6AA-C448-15CC-1FEFB38ABEA2EC82">released to the website</a>.</p> <p>Fusebox 5.5 allows you to use the Fusebox applications without using XML, which should please many people.</p> <p>Instead of fusebox.xml it checks conventional places for your circuits, and instead of circuit.xml it can either use CFCs, where each function is a fuseaction, or just a directory, where each file is a fuseaction.</p> <p>It also brings support for dynamic do to both xml and non-xml configuration, which is a feature I've really wanted on a couple of occasions.</p> <p>Get it while it's hot...</p> <p><a href="http://fusebox.org/go/fusebox-downloads/core-files">http://fusebox.org/go/fusebox-downloads/core-files</a>

<p>I have created a simple custom verb which allows you to link specified resource files from circuit.xml, without having to go to the bother of writing it all in a script and including it.</p> <p>For example, you can do this:</p> <code class="block">&lt;cf:link resource="/res/bubbles.css"/&gt;<br/>&lt;cf:link resource="/res/bubbles.js"/&gt;</code> <p>And it will convert that and place the following inside your HTML head:</p> <code class="block">&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/res/bubbles.css"/&gt;<br/>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="/res/bubbles.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code> <p>This should be useful if you have a lot of different circuits that all have unique styles and scripts, and you'd rather avoid putting lots of conditional statements in your layout pages.</p> <p>For more information and a download link, <a href="/article/link_lexicon_verb_for_fusebox_5.html">read the article</a>.</p>
