Re: Why so few Plugins?

This post must have seemed like I am just plain lazy, but hey, I am very busy
and took up CF very late in life (I'm very old!!) I am good at plain linear
CF5 style coding but object oriented is still difficult for me.

I do use BlogCFC and of course could simply link to that or any other add on
for that matter. I just want to get it into the framework. Which it seem
like Mr. Moretti might have done.

For my smaller sites I use Bytespring which suits the users nicely.

For a new project coming up (for which my partner has already said we would
have something up by Christmas) Drupal's ACL and other features fit the
bill. I just dont want to go down the PHP route!!

Although I have played with Farcry  I haven't developed for it although the
new handbook should be good.

**** What I really need are a blog and a forum. If anyone (hint, Mr.
Morettit) has anything to offer in some state to start off with I would be
very happy.
