RE: Weird problem with Next X records
Very hard to answer without code. For your second problem: your next-n is working on individual records, not groups, so it works as intended. Show first three (3 ben), then next three (1 ben, 2 john). You will have to find an alternative to make the next-n work on accounts. You could make 2 queries instead of one. A query to get accounts (use that for your next-n interface) and one to get customers. Pascal -Original Message- From: Ben Densmore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: woensdag 26 mei 2004 3:35 To: CF-Talk Subject: Weird problem with Next X records I have an application that I am using Next and Previous records links to sort through data. The I'm using the group attribute in the cfoutput tag to group by the customerID. My page will look like: Ben's Accounts CustomerID1 CustomerID2 CustomerID3 CustomerID4 Johns Accounts CustomerID1 CustomerID2 This will output a maximum of 3 accounts per page but with any number of customerID's. The odd thing is if there are say 4 accounts, when I click the next link to diaplay the 4th record it duplicated the first 3 records to me and if I click next again I then get the 4th record. One other strange thing is say in my example Ben's Accounts is the first record displayed and it has 4 customerIDs, when I click the next link and it show's me the duplicate of Ben's accounts on the next page it only has the 4th customerID. Has anyone run into something like this before? I'm thinking the group attribute might be causing this but I'm not sure.

RE: date search
You need to drop the time from the date-time in your where clause.
Otherwise it has to match to the exact second.
On Oracle:
WHERE TRUNC(event_date) = TO_DATE(cfqueryparam
cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR
value=#Dateformat(show_event_date,'-mm-dd')#,'-MM-DD')
On MSSQL you can do
WHERE DAY(event_date) = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=CF_SQL_NUMERIC
value=#Day(show_event_date)#
AND MONTH(event_date) = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=CF_SQL_NUMERIC
value=#Month(show_event_date)#
AND YEAR(event_date) = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=CF_SQL_NUMERIC
value=#Year(show_event_date)#
OR (assuming that the time for show_event_date is 00:00:00)
WHERE event_date = cfqueryparam value=#show_event_date#
cfsqltype=CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP
AND event_date cfqueryparam value=#DateAdd('d',1,show_event_date)#
cfsqltype=CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP
If you don't need date and time combined, you could store them separatly
in the db. It takes up a little more space, but it would make your life
easier.

PS It has been a very long time since I used dates on another db than
oracle, so you may want to check the syntax and the cfsqltype for MSSQL
PPS If you are asking questions like this, it is always a good idea to
mention the db you're using.

Subject: date search
I am having a bit of trouble doing a date search on form entered data.
Originally, I created a date with CreateDate and submitted
it, then searched on it with a date created the same way
(usingWHERE event_date = #show_event_date#) and all was great.
Then I was told to also collect the time.Who knew that
events would need start times too?So, instead of
createDate, I went to createDateTime.Since then, I've not
been able to search on these items with my query that uses
CreateDate.It doesn't seem right to have to include the
time for searching, especially since I just want items on a
particular date or series of date.
I'm not sure how to go about forming a query on this, really.

LDAP server is unwilling to perform
Hi, We have been using a simple LDAP authentication method, which basically queries the LDAP server for the user's own record using their own username and password. This in general works fine, however for a very small number of accounts (about 1 in 50ish), instead of returning the user's record, or a message saying inappripriate authentication the LDAP server just returns a message of LDAP server is unwilling to perform.The details used are correct, but the LDAP server just won't authenticatethese few accounts.The problem is un-related to the format of the username or password, since we can re-create the account and it will work fine. We have a number of other non-CF systems using the same LDAP server, but none of these have the same problems. I'd welcome any suggestions, since I can't see why this would work for some accounts and not for a tiny proportion of others. Thanks.

I know I've seen threads, articles and the like with examples of PL/SQL between CFQUERY tags, but when I try to do the same thing - I get the error described earlier. Truly, the PL/SQL my DBA would like me to try and run with CFQUERY is 100+ lines and I figured if I can't get a simpler statement (like my example earlier) to run there is no sense in putting a 100+ line SQL out in the forum.

CF running from CD, CF Anywhere, and somesuch (long)
It has long been a desire of mine to run CF apps on the desktop and/or from CD.There have been many threads on this list, about this topic, but no resolution I recently posted a question on the BlueDragon list, asking if it were possible to run BD from a CD. I got several responses, indicating that it had been done, and some general pointers (no specific examples) These were very helpful, so I started digging and probing. As I write this, I have BlueDragon j2ee 6.1 beta,my CF apps, a web server and Servlet Container -- all running from a CD. The only thing that resides on local hard disk are the dbs -- and I think that that can be resolved. I tried to do this with CFMX, also, but no success, yet. How? A key player is Jetty -- an open source Java web server and servlet container.This is a really cool little package -- you can create/configure/deploy your web server, servelet container, and web app with a simple XML file. Then you just run it. The Jetty stuff takes about 10 Meg RAM and BDj2ee takes another 10 Meg RAM, This is no scaled-down system, rather a very robust web server and full BDj2ee. How does it perform? - Quite nicely, thank you :) Actually, Jetty is lean and fast,and BD has template caching similar to CFMX -- it seems to perform about equal to localhost/apache development environment. One nice feature/attribute of BD is the way it handle logging disk writes -- If you run from CD you need to kill these writes or map them to the local file system.In BD you don;t need to do anything -- it (the BD system) will run in a read-only environment.If it tries to log, but can't, it just backs off continues. In your Jetty server xmlfile,you can just not include anything, like logging, that requires disk writes. Why CF on the Desktop/CD? - A few reasons -- just for starters. -- You, as a developer, want to publish Trial versions of one or more Apps, including CF, DBs, etc. on a CD (or DVD) and distribute it to potential customers.This CD/DVD would be completely gun-and-run -- no installation. configuration, etc. to get between you and your audience -- insert the CD/DVD on any platform and it runs. -- You are developing self-contained applications for Kiosks.The Kiosks are reprogrammed by installing a new CD. -- You have a combo application that runs as a desktop app that periodically connects to a server (and becomes a web or network app). One good example of this is a Lands End, Victoria's Secret, Figi's Cheese, Martha Stewart(or whatever) catalog -- that is bulk mailed to the customer.The customer browses the catalog offline, and constructs an order.When ready, the customer clicks a button and goes online; adds any online specials places the order.The CD/DVD could have much better quality andmore images, etc. than would be practical to view online. -- ad hoc queries and reporting and graphing against local databases -- i.e. ms-access plus for the rest of us -- broad, mass-appeal apps such as personal photo/movie/song albums -- where the user adds his own data Now, I admit that some of these can (almost) be done with present CF offerings.The biggest challenge would be to make CF (and the apps) run from the CD/DVD. The gun-and-run startup would need to recognize the platform and map any CF output files/directories to the local file system as it would not be able to updatethe CD/DVD. What are the advantages of CF apps on the Desktop/CD? [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Oracle's dateformat doesn't seem to correspond with the cf_sql_date format very well, particularly if your Oracle environment has set up a non-standard date format (not uncommon). It also might be that the cf_sql_date format, when used with Oracle, automatically passes a timestamp as well. There's no separate data type for date with time/date without time in Oracle. I'm not sure on that, but I think it makes sense. I use varchar, as well, and just send the matching date format string.

Take a look at CFXPDF as well - it has specific CF instructions and will probably do what you need I'm working with CFX_PDF right now and I'm finding it rather rudimentary. It was easy to set up and it worked right away, so I'll give it that. It has its own, limited, set of tags for formatting. Some of them are nice to see, like the PDF encryption/security support, but the layout tools are pretty thin. It might get the job done, but I'm not going to be creating anything sophisticated with it. Not without a lot of work. It looks most useful for simple print documents without much layout. One of the things it doesn't do that ActivePDF does is take an existing file and convert it to PDF. ActivePDF in that sense just acts as a server-side PDF print driver. CFX_PDF is a set of tags for generating a new PDF from scratch. So if you need to allow people to upload a .doc and have your homebuilt CMS convert that to PDF, then CFX_PDF isn't for you.

I've run upto 10 on the same page without problems (apart from users clicking Submit more than once :P), so I know the functionality will work cffile action="" filefield=form.tLogoFilename Remove the form. from the filefield, it's not needed or wanted Try this: Name the 3 fields as FileUpload_1, FileUpload_2 and FileUpload_3 Then run your code with a cfloop around them Also, your JS will only report one error before exiting the template (your cfexit) I'd also suggest displaying the message on the page, and then offering a link back - it will give the opportunity to show more than one message at the same time, rather than one popup Not forgetting that your popup doesn't say which image failed HTH [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
Setting up an automated Email Newsletter system...need advice for DB
Hi, all... As the subject lines states, I'm setting up a system whereby a user can subscribed to various newsletters that are sent out automatically at varying intervals. The advice I'm seeking, before I get into development is in the best way to setup the db tables... The main tables (among less important ones) I'm considering (MySQL) are: - categories (Category_ID, Category_Name, Category_Description) - subjects (Subject_ID, Category_ID, Subject_Name, Subject_Text) - recipients (Recipient_ID, Recipient_Password, Recipient_EmailAddress, Recipient_EmailType) - registrations (Registration_ID, Recipient_ID, Category_ID, Subject_ID, Registration_Date) The idea would be to allow users (recipients) to sign up for one or more newsletters. My approach so far is to let users sign up and create a user account. Then they can sign up for one or more newsletters. The main question is how to handle the form info for the newsletters for which they sign up. - use check boxes with the same name for the newsletter and loop through the values, creating a new record in the registrations table for each newsletter registration? i.e., there would be one record in the registrations table for each signup by a recipient per newsletter(This would be important because there would be a series of ordered newsletters per category (topic) which would need to be sent, then have the Subject_ID field, which represent each newsletter in a series, containing the ID of the last newsletter sent, which would be updated when each new newsletter in the series is sent. This way, a recipient would be receiving the correct newsletter in the order regardless of when they sign up. I'll stop here without getting any deeper and making this longer... Advice anyone?Anyone done this kind of thing? I've been setting up email newsletter systems for websites for a few years, but nothing quite this complex... Thanks for the advice...

cfhttp and stripping out text
I am using cfhttp to pull a page from one of our servers to another.

RE: activePDF
My biggest request is the ability to create a PDF which is in itself an editable PDFI am not sure if this is possible with any of the tools out there? _ From: Kevin Graeme [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 May 2004 15:29 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: activePDF - Original Message - From: Philip Arnold From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) Anyone worked recently with activePDF? I just downloaded the eval and the actual CF docs on the subject are pretty thin. Take a look at CFXPDF as well - it has specific CF instructions and will probably do what you need I'm working with CFX_PDF right now and I'm finding it rather rudimentary. It was easy to set up and it worked right away, so I'll give it that. It has its own, limited, set of tags for formatting. Some of them are nice to see, like the PDF encryption/security support, but the layout tools are pretty thin. It might get the job done, but I'm not going to be creating anything sophisticated with it. Not without a lot of work. It looks most useful for simple print documents without much layout. One of the things it doesn't do that ActivePDF does is take an existing file and convert it to PDF. ActivePDF in that sense just acts as a server-side PDF print driver. CFX_PDF is a set of tags for generating a new PDF from scratch. So if you need to allow people to upload a .doc and have your homebuilt CMS convert that to PDF, then CFX_PDF isn't for you. On the flip side, CFX_PDF is easy to use and it's a .jar and works on Windows, Linux, and Solaris while ActivePDF is a set of COM objects and only runs on Windows. There is also an article in this month's CFDJ talking about FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) which is a free alternative using XSL-FO. http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=44771DE=1 http://xml.apache.org/fop/ -Kevin _ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
Troubles with cfexecute
[CF5/Win2k] I'm trying to run Verity Spider (vspider.exe) commands using cfexecute. Some of the commands stop mid-way through, and the process dies. I am using batch files to keep the cfexecute as uncomplicated as possible, and I'm also using long timeouts, as well as output files. The same batch files work like a champ from the command line itself, but as I stated, they hang early in the process, and then the process dies. I've tried the commands using cfx_exec and cfx_execute with the same results, which led me to believe it was somehow a permissions issue. We then changed the CF Application service's account to use local admin, and that's having the same problems. It just seems that no matter how I try to get CF to execute this batch file, it just dies under the influence of CF itself. So... Any idea why this is happening? Also, does anyone know a good way to execute a batch file in some other creative way from a browser, or some other way to insulate the execution of the command from whatever's causing it to fail?

Re: Setting up DSN's without using CFAdmin.
Hmm I definately had RDS installedbut,I dont think I pointed to the correct place for the JRE in the Administrator settings I'm getting a sequelink error now,apparantly it couldn't start and now I cant get CF Server to start. If your machine doesn't acknowledge the JRE, you might need to reboot, or at least log off and log on to cycle explorer.Furthermore, the browser applets only work if you have RDS installed on the server.They'll load, and then tell you they can't connect if you don't have RDS access. You can easily copy and paste the path to your Access file into the CF admin.Just find the it with windows explorer, copy the location, and paste it into the CF admin.That's all the browser button is doing, just lets you do it remotely, which shouldn't be an issue if you're sitting in front of the server.

RE: PL/SQL stumper
I thought the same thing at first, but you cannot sort on a field that is not selected when using DISTINCT.And adding the field throws off the records selected because DISTINCT looks at the entire row, not just the one column...

OT: SQL Syntax help
What is the syntax for the updatetext() function in SQL 7. What I need to do is replace all occurrences of a word with another word inside a long text field. I have two SQL books and neither explain this fully. Google hasn't been of much help either. On that note, is there any way in enterprise manager or SQL analyzer to edit data in the long text field??

OT: Mach-II
Last summer, there was a lot of optimism on this list surrounding the release of Mach-II and it's object oriented approach to ColdFusion. Having tried it on a few projects and decided Fusebox was better suited for what I was doing, I am now considering it for a larger project my team is about to commence (approx. 9,500 man hours over a 7 month period). One of my main concerns is having to train people to work within this framework, I remain one of three or four people in my organization who have actually heard of Mach-II. There is some resistance based on people's unfamiliarity with it and the perception other frameworks are more widely used. This got me to wondering about how much Mach-II is actually being used, so I am conducting one of those unscientific polls about technology usage: - Does your organization use Mach-II? - Care to comment on how your organization has benefited from using it?

The current status of Embedded Form Validation
I'm curious about the current status of this feature?I was a bit surprised when I could not find any mention of it in the current documentation?Does that mean it is deprecated, it's not going to be supported into the future?It still seems to work in the current version. I don't think I ever used this for a finished production project. I do rather like using this feature when developing prototypes, demos, proof of concepts, just plain experimenting.You know, when I don't want to have step down and flesh out a fully featured validation functionality just now, but do want to show how it would basically work.

RE: CFFILE
In my reference (cfmx): Pathname of directory in which to upload the file. If not an absolute path (starting a with a drive letter and a colon, or a forward or backward slash), it is relative to the ColdFusion temporary directory, which is returned by the GetTempDirectory function.
