Well, I'm back. Took a lot of time off doing hand coding & teaching myself .net. I finally got a project that allows me to use CCS again.
My question is, what is the best way to do qa/dev/production connections? I would like to make it easy to copy the ccs files from one directory to another (ie. qa->production) and switch primary connections w/o changing the connection string (because I often forget). I was wondering what solutions people had come up with for this problems, if any. In CC2.x I fixed it by putting all the 'common' code into modules->common and creating an include/siteconf.asp file which that referenced for the connection strings, etc.
As for the suggestions :
1. I would like to be able to put my project anywhere I want. I do NOT want it to create a directory of the same name.
2. How about making sure that the recent projects box always shows project name. If the path is too long the project name pushed out of view. Something like d:\projects\clienta\project13\prod\ccs\<projectname>\<projectname>.ccs should become d:\projects\clie...\<projectname>

Ok, some more thoughts.
Since I need to be able to switch between dev/qa/production versions as the site is promoted, it would be nice to be able to easily switch some parameters.
A good way to do this might be to have 'debug/qa/release' configs (or a userdefined list) like VS, prefereably user defined.
A little dropdown when generating (in general) and a popup on site generation would list which configurations I had created and saved, and then generate using those settings. This would obviously be limited to CCS supported settings to start with, such as connections, headers, and publishing locations. If this were done I would both be able to easily change the settings that often vary, and also keep just one copy of my project!
Thanks,
Andrew
