Taskmanager Application - Fusebox 3 and FLiP

Two Applications Nested! One of the wonderful powers of Fusebox is the ease with which applications can be nested. This example consists of two mini-applications that were quickly nested together. Keep in mind however, that this implementation uses user-based security and you will have to login to use the system.

All the usernames and passwords are listed below the login form. In order to run the application, you will need to set a DSN. The name of the dsn is "taskmanager". It is an Access database and should point to the file "D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\taskmanager\application\taskmanager.mdb". Once this is done, make sure this file and the rest of these folders are running on your ColdFusion server, and point your browser here to "application/".

The Fusbox Lifecycle Process (FLiP) is a step-by-step set of guidelines that can contribute to the likelihood of an entire project's success. Each step (wireframe, prototype, mindmap and final application) are available in this archive too.

Taskmanager Application Revisited - CFCs in MVC

This is an updated version of the taskmanager application above, using CFCs in an MVC pattern for a portion of the application. It's a little rough around the edges, but does a great job illustrating the basic usage of CFCs using the <cfinvoke> tag to create Fusebox applications in with Model-View-Controller.
