Quick Start

For this quick start guide, we’re going to create a BigRig folder called apps, place a blog application in it and get it up and running. It is assumed you have installed wheels in the webroot of your server.

• Add the /apps folder to your webroot
• Add the /apps/blog folder
• Copy the /models, /views, and /controllers folder from a fresh wheels install
• Fix your Wheels.cfc files
  /apps/blog/controllers/Wheels.cfc
  

  <cfcomponent output="false" displayName="Controller">
  	<cfinclude template="../../../wheels/controller.cfm">
  </cfcomponent>

  /apps/blog/models/Wheels.cfc
  

  <cfcomponent output="false" displayName="Model">
  	<cfinclude template="../../../wheels/model.cfm">
  </cfcomponent>

• Add a call to addRig(name, [keyword, singleAppFolder])
  /config/routes.cfm
  

  <cfset addRig(name="apps") />

You can now use urls like this (assuming you had URL rewritting turned on):

http://example.com/apps/blog/list – would get to the apps/blog/views/list/index.cfm view.

And complex sites like this should be possible (folders outside of the webroot will need supporting mappings):
