Re: Synonym Dictionary
Just to confirm Dave's suggestion, Solr can do this, yes. If you get particularly down and dirty with your configuration, you can have individual fields in your search collection each with their own set of synonyms (amongst many other things). This is not possible using the native CF9 search and index methods and the setup would most certainly take some learning curve time (perhaps overkill for your problem). You can, AFAIK, setup a global synonym list in CF9 that should work fairly smoothly. Here's hoping 9.5 brings some extended Solr goodness :) Dominic On 1 May 2011 18:06, Dave Watts dwa...@figleaf.com wrote: hi dave, had a look at Google Search Appliance and thought it was only for searching our web pages, do you think i could possibly utilize it in some way to get the synonyms for my database searches? Well, as much as I love the appliance, I wasn't really recommending it for your use, as it's fairly expensive if you were to buy it just to solve this one problem. I was just pointing out that Solr/Lucene probably have similar synonym features. That said, yes, the appliance can index all sorts of content in addition to web pages. Database content, filesystem content, CMS/DMS content, Google Apps content, etc, etc. So, you could very easily build a search against your MySQL data that would use synonyms - in fact, we actually do that in the GSA classes I teach.

RE: CF 9 on Win 2008 w/1 gig of ram
With RAM being so cheap, is it worth worrying about buying more? I personally wouldn't run a server with less than 2gb RAM. -Original Message- From: Gerald Guido [mailto:gerald.gu...@gmail.com] Sent: 02 May 2011 19:43 To: cf-talk Subject: CF 9 on Win 2008 w/1 gig of ram We are looking at a Win 2008 VPS for some low traffic hobby sites and for general dev purposes and I was wondering if one gig of ram would suffice. I would most probably be running IIS 7, Mysql 5.5 (or MSSQL 2008 Express), CF9 std. and possibly a name server and/or a (S)FTP server.

(ot) A word of hosting caution
Hi All, Just a notice to possibly help save someone some grief if you host at Hosting.com (formerly HostMySite.com before the merger). Make sure that they have your account up to date!! They have a policy where if they find a database who's name is not found on anyone's account - they blindly delete it with no notice!!! This is an odd policy given the number of errors I found in our own accountI can only assume other accounts are in similar states and this policy could be destructive. One of our SQL Server DBs on a shared box had a name that WAS the same as the datasource setup pointing to it, however it was not the name they had on file with our account. Boomthe DB for the backend of our corporate site was gone! Thankfully they still had a backup. So just a word of caution to make sure your accounts are up to date and accurate or you might just get a nasty surprise ;-) ...and for the record, this is not sour grapes in any wayjust looking out for the community.the issue was resolved to my satisfaction.

On 5/3/2011 9:14 AM, Torrent Girl wrote: cfset getJobs = 'http://www.microsoft-careers.com/Microsoft-Diversity-AAWIT116obs.xml' That looks to be a pretty large XML document. There are definite limits on how large of document that xmlParse() can process. As xmlParse uses a DOM parsing methodology, the entire resulting data structure (which will be several times larger the the original text document) must fit into memory. If this document is too large to dom parse you need to do something that parses it segment by segment, such as a sax parser. ColdFusion does not have a built in sax parser. I used Ben Nadel's pseudo parser [http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1345-Ask-Ben-Parsing-Very-Large-XML-Documents-In-ColdFusion.htm] once when I needed a quick solution. One could also dive into the underlining Java and access some true sax parser through it. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:344167 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: MS XML Parse
On 5/3/2011 9:14 AM, Torrent Girl wrote: cfset getJobs = 'http://www.microsoft-careers. com/Microsoft-Diversity-AAWIT116obs.xml' That looks to be a pretty large XML document. There are definite limits on how large of document that xmlParse() can process. As xmlParse uses a DOM parsing methodology, the entire resulting data structure (which will be several times larger the the original text document) must fit into memory. If this document is too large to dom parse you need to do something that parses it segment by segment, such as a sax parser. ColdFusion does not have a built in sax parser. I used Ben Nadel's pseudo parser [http://www.bennadel. com/blog/1345-Ask-Ben-Parsing-Very-Large-XML-Documents-In-ColdFusion. htm] once when I needed a quick solution.

CF9's cfmail remove attribute not working at Crystal Tech
I just spent an hour working with a tech at Crystal Tech diagnosing an email problem which ended up with me realizing that the very convenient remove attribute that is new to CF9's cfmail tag will not work in their environment. The reason for this is that they don't use CF's built-in mail client, instead handing off to SmarterMail. So although CF believes an email has left the spooler and its attachments can be deleted, SmarterMail will still come back for them but fail when it finds the attachments are gone. What do people recommend as a viable way to deal with this (I assume everyone had to deal with this anyway before CF9)? Is the answer to set up a scheduled task that cleans out some directory of email attachments at regular intervals? db ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:344173 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

cfdocument layout precision, labels
Hello, I am trying to create label sheets. I noticed quickly that specified sizes have to be smaller to end up as I need them. For instance, a .5 top margin must be specified as .4 to give the desired result. The same is true with table cells. Through trial and error I was able to arrive at what I needed. I applied borders to the cells just to make the printout easier to measure, but this seemed to have no effect on the layout; it was just as wrong with or without borders.

RE: cfdocument layout precision, labels
First thought that comes to mind is whether or not, in your stylesheet or inline applied margin:0px and padding:0px to prevent the default margins and paddings applied to certain elements by the browsers. Use Firebug to check the layout and you can easily spot margins and borders that have been applied to elements. -Original Message- From: Bruce Keplinger [mailto:bkeplin...@cnyrpdb.org] Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2011 1:37 PM To: cf-talk Subject: cfdocument layout precision, labels Hello, I am trying to create label sheets.

Did you try it in IE? It might display inline in IE. Also, with cfcontent

CFFILEUPLOAD total confusion
I have been on adobe forums, I have dialogued with Ray Camden and scoured the

me stumped. call me dumb but it is what it is.

url=index_action.cfm?#urlEncodedFormat(session.urlToken)#
progressbar=true
name=myupload
width=400
height=300

cffile action=uploadall
destination=#expandPath('uploads')#
nameconflict=overwrite
result=myVar /
cfdump var=#myVar#
cfset str.STATUS = 200
cfset str.MESSAGE = passed
cfoutput#serializeJSON(str)#/cfoutput
--
Well we all know this s a flash application so there is not a postback to the
server. I need the filename of the uploads to be available to me so I can
insert the names into the database via the directory that are in. this will
allow the users of the site to download and read the given files.
My problem is that I do not know how to return the file names so I can insert
them into the given data table. There is no return here. All I can imagine is
there must be some kind of JavaScript the will provide me with the name so I
can insert the names as the files are uploaded to the given directory.
Question 1: How do I get the application to retrieve and provide the file or
files name(s)?
Question 2: Is this display an actual output or is this .cgi information that I
pull behind the seens?
Question 3: If this is done with jQuery or some kind of JavaScript call is it
possible to get an example to I can replicate it in process?
Thanks in advance.

RE: Question about CF / MS Word Integration
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Hello there. We're researching the feasibility of integrating our CF based CMS / CRM application with MS Word and I want to get a sense of how easy / hard this might be. An example of the kind of thing that we would want to achieve would be to allow a client to use a web editor (e.g. CKEditor) to create a letter (e.g. a thank you note for a donation) within our web based application and then export that to a word document while merging in the name and address info of a particular person so that the result would be an MS Word document that is personalized to a particular person and is ready for printing. Any suggestions on how to do this? I'm guessing that it would be easier to send it out to a PDF but the down side of that is that it would not be editable at that point. Thanks in advance!

Re: Lookig for tutorials on how to build a plugin system
I have not seen any tutorials like that but I would take a look at Mangoblog as a good example, this seems to be a very easy app to write plugins for. One key thing is to use CFC's and make use of the EXTENDS attribute, this allows any plugins to simply extend your core components. Custom tags seem to have been dismissed by menu in favour of CFC's, but they are still immensely useful, especially for outputting dynamic content. One trick that I use is to use cfimport without a prefix then you can create custom tags that will replace all occurrences of HTML tags. e.g. cfimport prefix= taglib=customtags create a file called div.cfm in your taglibs folder every time a div tag is encountered it will be replaced with your CFML :-) I find this very extensible as you can use a different taglib on every page so great for plugins. Also make sure you make all your variables easily accessible, either by putting then in application scope or via methods in a cached component. just a few ideas On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 8:59 PM, Richard Beck richardb...@gmail.com wrote: Right, I've done some of that already.

The value, myVar, is an array of file structs. Each struct contains information about the file upload. Look up the docs for cffile/action=upload.

Question 2: Is this display an actual output or is this .cgi information that I pull behind the seens? Is that a display? Thie last code block you showed, the one with uploadall, handles the request sent by the Flash on the front end. It returns JSON back. So the code on the client gets the JSON, parses it, and works with it. So it' snot visible per se. It's a bit like a robot doing a http request for you.
