RE: database design conundrum
That would have been my suggested approach as well. I would suggest adding a sharewithall flag to tbl_shared_things so that the user has the option. I can be tedious to individually share information that you would gladly provide to anyone who asked for it, like office email, phone and fax. It also allows that the information could be easily displayed on an open profile if desired.

Depending how your would query the data is entirely up on the specific use, so that is something fun to play with. This way you have all the flexibility you need, good luck!

Re: database design conundrum
Aye. Thought of that. There will be predefined groups, kind of like Facebook's Only Me, Friends, Friends of Friends, Everyone groups, but I wanted users to be able to exclude specific people from an entire group share in addition to adding individuals, should they desire. Hence the slightly overcomplicated design. Who knows? the feature might not ever get used or might end up being too resource intensive to keep, but better to build it into place now than try to cram it in later ... as long as it doesn't break anything.

Patch/update 9.0 help
The recent issues with security have led me to abandon my previous psychology of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm running CF 9.0, is there a single patch/installer that I can run to bring my installation up to date, or do I need to update from 9.0 to 9.01 and then from 9.01 to 9.02? I'm just trying to determine whether the hotfixes are cumulative withing minor version, or inclusive of all versions, and I don't want to risk borking my install.

Re: Patch/update 9.0 help
You need to update to 9.0.1 and then inststall the 901 patches. 9.0.2 is not and update it is a separate version without verity which is no longer supported.

Re: Patch/update 9.0 help
Awesome. Ran the 9.01 updater and the CF service won't restart now. This is why I don't update unless I have to.

Exact, and since I've never been able to get Solr to work under 9.0.1, no chance I ugrade to 9.0.2 ! ~| 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:358066 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
