CF 7 Report Builder and dynamic charts
Hi everyone, I can't seem to figure out how to get the CF 7 Report Builder to recognize a dynamic query being passed in. I found this technote: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=ee54cc6sliceId=2 but the instructions aren't working.

RE: OT: NetSol Hosting
My advice is, don't host with Network Solutions. Why not? They don't offer ColdFusion hosting. Use someone like CrystalTech.com The PRO package does offer CF, but the waters are pretty murky as to what is supported within CF and what is not. The problem is this client so far refuses to jump ship somewhere else as they found out after a year that they were paying for website hosting on NetSol AND CrystalTech, but not using NetSol hosting! I just came to the party and am seeing what I can do for them. A lot of my clients are not on shared hosting; they either have their own servers co-located or in-house. Others I have on accounts at HostMySite, which is where I was trying for regarding this client.

Field-based editing with a simple log. =] I'm sorry, but that, by itself, is a very silly answer. AJAX is display technology. It lets you build a more responsive, less linear presentation layer. It doesn't let you track database changes any more than a traditional HTML interface lets you track database changes. I agree that it is certainly an incomplete answer. I suspect what the poster meant was to attach an onChange call to all the fields on the form that are being used to display and change data. Have the call do an async request to the server with the field id, before value and after value that gets fed into a logging function. For validation purposes, I would also add the id of that field to a hidden form field listing the fields that were changed and then compare the changed values to the original values that were sent out. That step, however, could just replace the Ajax bit entirely. I feel it's ridiculous to track changes to fields BEFORE the complete data set (form) is submitted, unless that is a specific intention of the business logic, which I don't think in this case it is. Just because AJAX can do all that cool stuff doesn't mean it should be shoehorned into every application orifice possible. And... AJAX IS a display technology. Is JavaScript and XML doing the backend work? It's merely a conduit to and from the backend, not the backend itself.

RE: Change Log on database updates - need some ideas
Well, actually, once you go AJAX, you kinda want it everywhere. It truly is a different way of doing stuff than the old static way. What's that quote... we're just now getting back to where we were 10 years ago, UI wise something like that. Well, I really disagree with that statement. I don't want it everywhere -- just where it makes sense to me and fits the business model. To use something just because you can isn't really a reason to. Validating a form after it's been submitted isn't an old, static way. Users expect certain behaviors of HTML forms, and overuse of AJAX or any other in your face methods that can be applied to real-time validation (read: interruption to the user) are unexpected behaviors and will more than likely make the user go somewhere else. This is all relative to the application, who is using it and what it does, of course, but for the general audience of internet users the last thing you want to do is turn their world upside down with the unexpected when they are trying to perform a simple action they've performed a thousand times before.

RE: Does anyone have CFoutput example for SQL89 Array field?
We are working with a customer who has a legacy application written in a Progress Database that uses SQL-89 query language. In their customer table the address field (which has a column heading of ADDR) is an array field. If we use CFDump to output the query structure CFDUMP var=qryCustomer we can see the column name information. And it shows the array field elements as having an @ symbol in its column heading: NAME[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] CITY XYZ Company 111 Main Street [empty string]New York But, we can't figure out the correct syntax for a CFoutput statement for the individual elements of the ADDR array. The PROGRESS SQL-89 user guide says it should be #qryCustomer.addr__1#, but that causes an element undefined error. Does anyone have an example of a select statement for a Progress SQL-89 array field that they can share? Is it possible to use an @ symbol as a field name using some sort of escape sequence?

RE: cfmail and cfoutput
There is no reasonable, practical way I am aware of to restart - after the point of failure - a cfmail call right in the middle of itself, such as when a bad email address is found in the middle of a query result set. As a result of that, you run your query as normal. Then run a cfloop over the result set. Inside the loop you have a try/catch block where inside the try is your cfmail call, which is only trying to send to queryName.emailAddress[currentRow]. Your catch block safely handles failure recovery if you find a bad address inside of the loop and allows the loop to continue. The flip-side to this argument is strict data validation. This method won't catch an invalid email address; just a malformed one, but of course neither will data validation. If you don't allow malformed addresses to begin with, you can use the query attribute. If email addresses are allowed to be blank, then the best way to handle that would be a NULL in the address field, and a query that only selects rows that don't have NULL email addresses. Of course, that's all in a perfect world I suppose.

By the way, you can pass in delimiters just like you can with regular list

to pass one in that case.

RE: Using CFHTTP to login
Anyway if Claude was smart he wouold see that the login form that works is called login.aspx, and then submits to itself. But what Claude didn't see was the fact that the cfhttp was sending the field submit button. Actually, Claude was smart enough to point out that the form might NOT be posting to itself. All we know is that the action page is login.aspx, not whether that is the actual name of the form page itself. It could be called form_login.aspx for all we know. Michael didn't state the names of the pages themselves. Also, submit buttons can have names and values, so sending them with cfhttp might be necessary if the action page checks for them. They are basically like any other form field except in addition they have a specific duty, which is to submit the form.

I have a recordset that has several attendees. I need to create variables on the fly for each record cause I won't know how many there are. It can be infinite (everyone on the planet). Of course, the problem is that I can't use an evaluate on the left side. I can't think of a way around this.

RE: working with data from joining multiple tables
-Original Message- From: daniel kessler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have not and didn't know that - thanks for the information. In that case, for three orderings, I'd need to do three queries, right? You know, you might have an ordering issue. The cf group by needs the query to be ordered by whatever you're grouping by for it to work correctly. Have you tried ordering it by that id? Deanna, is right. The data in the query needs to be ordered in the way you want it output for the group attribute of cfquery to work correctly. If you want it ordered by last name, for example, you'll need to do this in your order by clause: ORDER BY Lname, Fname, N_R_Attendees_ID You should then be able to use your current cfoutput code with the query.

RE: Can I use replace function on a string to create form drop bo x options?
1º using a (small) list is not a workaround, it is a short cut. Before I take short cuts, the first thing that comes to mind is, I hope I won't need to redo this later. 2º updating one field in a table is much more straightforward than updating a multi records cross table. If you mean the SQL is easier to write, then yes, but I would only say it's faster to write, since most link table queries and code can be re-used with little modification once you've written them before. 3º you don't need a joined table in the query, just one table; The purpose of and RDBMS is storing data in a relational way in the first place, so using one join to get at additional data isn't taboo; these systems are made for that type of work. 4º you don't need a query each time you want to check if an item has a certain property, you just check for the property in a list, which you can even store in a session variable. You can grab the items from the link table and use ValueList() if you want to put them in a list. 5º only beginners go by the bible, experienced programmers know short cuts. Experienced programmers are experienced because they've learned a lot of do's and donts from experienced programmers that came before them. 6º bibles are made for beginners; One thing that experts and true beginners have in common: they both know they still have a lot to learn. 7º beginners are supposed to learn from experience, if they keep on going by the bible, and don't experiment, they will remain beginners... Beginners learn from a lot of different sources, and one of the major sources is the experience of others who have tried something 10 different ways. For instance, if you need to store in an employee table which days in the week he is ok to work, will you create a table with the 7 days in the week and a cross table between the employees and the days? SURE, just in case some one decides to make an eigth day in the week, who knows! This is ridiculous. ;-) What if a manager would like a printout of the days of the week and which employees are available to work on each of those days. Show me, using a single query, how you'd list all employees grouped by the days they work.

RE: Can I use replace function on a string to create form drop bo x options?
Just put the days in the list, not codes ;-)) That will make a field with a max of what? 50 characters may be? Big deal! ;-) And...? It doesn't matter which types of data you store in those lists. How would you return a workable query? You can't, and you'd have to jump through a bunch of hoops and use CF code to sort it all out, just because you didn't want to use a link table. This isn't about how much data is stored as much as it is about the efficiency with which you can use the data. From your example, a simple, useful report would take workarounds to produce just because you refused to use a link table and save a few hundred extra kilobytes or so.

RE: Can''t get the right path for my error template
Well the problem with a relative link is I have subfolders with their own Application.cfc's. It'd throw an error on those pages. Unless I dropped the same error templates into all those directories. The root-relative links worked, but then the problem with the SSL came up. I guess I could use a http link but that sounds tacky. Will, One other thing you could do which I didn't mention is use the base tag: base href=http://www.whatever.com/some/directory/; / You could just write some application logic to change the URL in the base tag for all your page links depending on what server you're developing on. This way you don't need to hard-code any specific paths or use a variable in your links, except for URL's you might use within cflocation or server-side redirects, and possibly a few other scenarios. Just remember that if you do this to add a trailing slash to the URL in the href attribute of the base tag. All URLs will then start at the base tag's URL. You won't need a forward slash in your links, and if you put one there, any sub-directories specified in the base tag URL will be ignored. So, using the base tag above, a link like this: a href=mypage.htmlGo to my page in some directory/a Would go to http://www.whatever.com/some/directory/mypage.html. A link like this: a href=another/directory/mypage.htmlGo to my page in another directory/a Would go to http://www.whatever.com/some/directory/another/directory/mypage.html Finally, this: a href=/mypage.htmlGo to my root page/a Would go to http://www.whatever.com/mypage.html Hope this helps!

Seeing as how the variable is named RecordCount, it's hard for you to convince me that anyone looking at the code couldn't infer that the data type of that variable is anything other than numeric. If a wormhole did open and swallow up all code except for that one line, it wouldn't matter anyway, because the code itself wouldn't execute even if you have those extra golden 5 characters. Now, if I were to look at the code: cfif query.RecordCount GT 0 Versus cfif query.RecordCount I might, just MIGHT, SAVE precious milliseconds of time making sure all beer didn't disappear into the wormhole.

I have a database table that it set up exactly like the converted query, I want to basically insert the CSV data into the database. Is there an easier, more efficient way to do this that looping over the CSV query and doing an insert for each record? SQL Server 2K, CFMX6.1 As people have mentioned, you can use BCP to copy data into the database, but you can also use the BULK INSERT command in T-SQL as well. If you check books online you'll see what's possible with both options. Since your date field must be unique, you can put a unique constraint on that column in the database (if not done already) and then any rows that violate that constraint will not be imported (check the switches and commands for BCP and bulk insert). This way you don't need to perform extra checks (based on what you've told us). So, there are a handful of ways to do it: SQL executed from CF (inline, stored procedure), scheduled or executed DTS packages (via command line dtsrun.exe program as Dave pointed out), the BCP utility, and probably a few more I can't think of right now.

RE: ways to time a file upload?
How about a hidden form field that gets populated with the current date/time on form submission? Then you could parse it and compare it to Now() on your action/upload page. There are two minor caveats to this approach. First, you don't know how long the user will spend on the form before submitting. Yeah, I meant storing the time when the form was submitted, not on the initial page load. Second, you don't know how long it took for the user to receive the form after it was generated. To avoid both of these problems (to the extent that you care about them) you'd have to set the value of the hidden form field at the time it's submitted using JavaScript, and you'd have to account for the time difference if any between the client and the server. Yeah, I didn't think about the client/server time difference, although using JavaScript to get the time on the action page after the file upload would work without any time-offset calculations. There are lots of ways to skin this cat, and I think the cookie approach mentioned is good as well.

cfexecute buffer causing hangs?
Hi everyone, In my continued work with the Verity Vspider I came across something interesting today. It seems that the cfexecute tag has an issue with buffering output that is returned from the spawned process. This is CFMX 7.0.1 Enterprise running on Windows 2003 Server Standard. I searched high and low and found a lot of people that had and have issues with cfexecute, but a good amount weren't using the tag and its arguments in the correct way. That being said, I DID find a problem that I emailed product support about. I can't say this with absolute certainty about all cfexecute command-line processes that output a significant amount of data, but I did discover that after a certain amount of log data output to the console, the vspider process just hangs. I suspect this would be the case with other programs, too. As I was reading the forums and other areas on the web, I noticed people with this same problem that were running apps like zip programs that would verbosely output all the actions being taken. There is a specific command in a vspider config file that you can use to specify the type of logging. The initial command I was using is: -loglevel verbose. Changing it to: -loglevel nostdout took care of the hanging process! I hope this might help others having this problem with this or other applications, or at least bring attention to a potential bug. I am pretty sure it's a bug but haven't tested any other apps except vspider, although removing the standard output to the console with the above switch did take care of the problem, which tells me it's definitely not related to the vspider program itself.

RE: cfexecute buffer causing hangs?
-Original Message- From: Jamie Jackson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 7:56 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: cfexecute buffer causing hangs? Hmm, I'm probably one of the people you've seen while Googling the subject. While I haven't tried cfexecuting the vspider stuff from CFMX7, I've had significant problems with it from CF5. Are you saying that you had problems when you didn't specify an output file or, or when you did? I wasnt' quite sure what you meant by the console in this context. Dumping the output to a browser had some fairly well known limitations, but I'm interested in knowing whether there are also problems even when specifying an output file. Jamie, Hello! I did see your post and was thinking about emailing you directly although I didn't see your email address anywhere. I might've been just too crazy at the time and overlooked it, though. Basically what I am saying is that I specified an output file, but there must be some buffering issue when a certain amount of output is exceeded. Using vspider.exe from a command prompt worked fine, using the same exact config file that I was using with cfexecute. Only when I changed the -loglevel argument in the vspider command file from verbose to nostdout did it work, telling me that most likely any app that produces too much output to stdout will hang. When vspider hung, cpu usage for both jrun and vspider.exe went down to 0, so it wasn't a problem as far as processor usage goes. Here is the cfexecute code which works fine now that the -loglevel is set: cfexecute name=#VSpiderPath#vspider.exe arguments=-cmdfile #CommandFilePath# outputfile=#TempDir#vspiderlog.txt timeout=600 /cfexecute What led me to the belief that it had to do with some type of buffering was that fact that I didn't have any problems running other command line apps, like netstat, ping, etc. I still haven't tested on 6.1, only 7.0.1.

Problem with Vspider and excluding specific pages
Hi everyone, I've been working with Vspider for a while now (CFMX 6.1 and 7.0.1) on a search revamp project and ran into a problem. It seems that if you want the spider to follow a page but not index it, a link to that page must be explicit and not implicit with links like this: http://www.mysite.com/mydir/ and http://www.mysite.com/mydir/index.cfm If I want to exclude the index.cfm file from being indexed but still have vspider follow it, I'd do this in my config file: -indexclude */mydir/index.cfm That will work, but ONLY if the link vspider picks up to that page explicitly calls the index.cfm page. If vspider follows this link: http://www.mysite.com/mydir/ The index.cfm is indexed and followed, effectively rendering the -indexclude option useless. Does anyone have any ideas on this? It's possible I am missing something with one of the options but I've been through them quite a lot. I was thinking maybe the -regexp switch might help get around this problem.

Verity and indexing encrypted pdfs
Hi everyone, I'd like to know if anyone can point me to an official document that specifies encrypted PDF documents CANNOT be indexed by Verity in any version of CF, specifically CFMX 6.1. Based on our testing, 128-bit RC4 encrypted PDF documents cannot be indexed, however 40-bit RC4 documents can. For the life of me I can't find where I saw this mentioned in the documentation. Now, it makes a lot of sense that encrypted documents wouldn't be able to be indexed, but no amount of testing we've done so far has satisfied the client, apparently. The situation, I think, is now beyond Dilbert-esque, but having an official answer might still help.

-Original Message- From: Mike Soultanian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2006 4:12 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: question about insert select statement I have a user interface and it has multiple checkboxes to select what members of a group a user is in. I have a table to store user information (USERS), a table to store the groups (GROUPS), and a join table to keep track of what group a user is a member of (GROUPMEMBERS). I set the NAME field of all the checkboxes to ffGroups and the VALUE for each of those checkboxes is populated with a different GROUP_ID. URL.USER_ID is the current user I'm editing. I have the following query to insert the users and groups into the join table: INSERT INTO GROUPMEMBERS(USER_ID, GROUP_ID) SELECT '#Val(URL.USER_ID)#', GROUP_ID FROM GROUPS WHERE GROUP_ID IN (#ffGroups#) I don't get why it's not generating an error, though. '#Val(URL.USER_ID)#' does not exist in the GROUPS table. I tried making the following test query: cfquery name=miketest SELECT '1', GROUP_ID FROM GROUPS /cfquery and it threw an error, so I'm guessing because that SELECT statement replaces the VALUES portion of the INSERT statement, it lets it fly for some reason. Is this true? I was just curious... In the first query, you're creating the values in the first column dynamically, so it doesn't matter that the user_id is not in the groups table. In the test query the only problem I can see is you don't have a datasource defined. Both queries should work, even if your user_id is an integer, although you shouldn't put single quotes around it if it is. Whatever database you're using (I am assuming SQL Server), an implicit conversion from char/varchar to int for the user_id column is happening behind the scenes.

If I remember correctly it's free and does everything you are looking for. Thanks Terry, the only thing I could find with that was a utility to convert pages to PDF, but I didn't see anything about it sending them to the printer. My ideal solution would be a tool that would simply take a URL to fetch, render, and print to the default printer with no user interaction on the server. I've been trying to write a utility in .NET to do this, but my C# skills are not to that level just yet and I'm running out of scheduled time. This is a Windows-only solution (at least just tested and being used on Windows): Actually, htmldoc allows you to convert html pages to postscript as well, so if you have postscript drivers installed for your printers you can simply copy the .ps file to any local or network printer via the command line. You can even use move from the command line which will take care of sending the file to the printer and then deleting it (although there is a caveat with using move, see below). I set this system up a few years back for a non-profit client of ours. It's an intranet system that allows them to print reports, letter runs and billing statements directly to any printer on their network. It also gives them the option to generate a PDF, which is nice when they are working remotely and need to view or print something locally. The batch file runs the html file through htmldoc and then moves the output ..ps file to the printer: move \\server\printername. For some reason I've noticed that moving the file stopped working on the server after some period of time, so I had to change the batch file so it would copy the .ps file to the printer and then delete it. That's neither here nor there, though, but maybe it'll help someone in the future!

This is a pretty well known bug, and they had no knowledge of it. Since generating PDF's is essentially a print process, the bug falls over into the generated PDF. I had to abandon HTMLDoc because of this. Actually, all document formats used in the application I mentioned are fixed-width and are not problematic. It's good you pointed this out, though, because it took some experimenting to get the formatting right because of the page cut-offs in some cases. Different documents in this case require different margins and formatting. One thing I absolutely hate about htmldoc is it's lack of support for CSS. It's quite a mature product in that it's been around for quite some time and it's generally fast (as long as you don't generate a thousand-page pdf file!), so it's still useful in certain situations for us. Now, I definitely wouldn't use it in an environment where it was under any sort of significant load, but that's just based on my experience with it. In that case I'd probably go with ActivePDF products (server and webgrabber) for HTML to PDF conversion. Andy ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

It sounds like you just need a simple CMS, like Contribute.

I'd suggest sticking with however you currently organize your code (unless it's totally out of control!) and build on it from there. In my experience, starting a project and then learning something new on the fly adds a lot of time and stress; unless you absolutely HAVE to do this, I'd recommend against it. This isn't a dig against any framework or code organization method. I'm just pointing out that learning a new way to organize code and starting a project at the same time where you'll be using said method might be a bit daunting, unless you have enough time to allow for whatever learning curve might be ahead.

Subject: Re: reverse compliment a sequence
Highly recommend against that. I intentionally used the less
familiar and more complex Java object, because it will be
significantly more performant as the string of DNA gets longer.
Point taken.
The designers of the Java language assumed that people who
really care about efficiency will be intelligent enough to
use the proper type (String or StringBuffer) based on what
they're doing. By and large, I don't recommend mixing
arbitrary Java into your CFML code, but the use of
StringBuffers when you have massive string concatenation is
definitely something to consider.
I wish that intelligence and laziness were mutually exclusive!
Smart Java compilers may convert string concatenation into
StringBuffers automatically to aid the developer. I have no
idea if CF is that smart, so I explicitly tell CF what I
want. Note that I'm talking about non-linear concatenation;
linear concatenation is always done using StringBuffers,
because there isn't actually a concatenation operator, every
compiler will automatically convert it to some StringBuffer
operations, from what I understand.
Yes, that makes perfect sense. In that case it also still makes for a nice,
scalable UDF if my plain vanilla concatenation is swapped out for your Java
version. I guess we wouldn't be able to tell how slow the concatenation
method is without running it under some real load, but I'm sure the Java
solution would handily beat it at a certain point.

RE: reverse compliment a sequence
Using Barney's elegant struct solution, we can take it one step further by
creating a UDF and getting rid of the Java by using a new variable and
appending to it:
cfscript
function RevCompDNA(dna) {
var newdna = ;
var t = structNew();
t.c = g;
t.g = c;
t.a = t;
t.t = a;
for (i = 1; i LTE Len(arguments.dna); i=i+1) {
newdna = newdna t[mid(dna, i, 1)];
}
return newdna;
}

Subject: reverse compliment a sequence
I need to to reverse compliment a nucleotide sequence, so
C become a G
G becomes a C
A becomes a T
T becomes an A
I need to go through a string a character at a time and build
a new string.
So:
ACTG becomes TGAC
Is there an easy way to do this?

RE: wtf are those advertizing links in the text?
I would be forced to withdraw, and I imagine that lots of other people might be in the same boat for the same reason that Jochem and Paul Hastings mentioned. I've been through this before elsewhere, and I simply wouldn't be able to justify the risk. And it's worth pointing out that the list would be significantly less valuable if it loses the likes of Jochem and Paul. Between the two of them, they cover everything there is to know about RFCs and Unicode! Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software Instead of forcing people to pay to subscribe to the list, an alternative could be an advertising free list for a fee - $20 to $50 a year lets say, and a free, but supported by ads lists. That way if you're willing to suffer the ad links in the contents of the messages, you don't have to pay. But you can get rid of the ads by paying a small fee up front. Then after you log into the HOF site, the ad links in the message content would dissappear. This way all views are accommodated. larry I don't think Dave is concerned so much with seeing the links himself, but of others seeing them and what content they link to. It wouldn't matter if you paid a thousand dollars a year to not see them; anyone ending up at the archives that isn't a paying member would see them. So that means the only way to not have links in your posts would be to opt out of the list and not post at all.

RE: macromedia and Adobe?!
Now, tell me, anybody, please, maybe I am just uneducated in the matter. Give me three innovations by Adobe this century. I may settle for two. Oh, and standard product releases don't count (that's just a response to user suggestions). A company that has delivered solid products (don't get me wrong, I like PDF's) a long time ago, and has failed to capitalize on their success has made a wise decision to acquire MM. Actually, there are quite a few innovations within the PDF file format itself, such as revision tracking and digital signatures. Don't discount these sorts of things - they're a big deal; very useful and innovative within the world of document management. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Yeah, I can attest to this. Digital signatures and watermarking, in addition to formfield filling have been a boon to a few of our clients in the medical and drug testing industries. The encryption and watermarking of highly sensitive data in PDF documents in addition to the easy-to-use PDF format has gone a long way in this area.

RE: CFCs and CFMX
-Original Message- From: George Abraham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] All, So we are finally transitioning from CF 5.0 to CFMX 7 at a point in the near future. I had Hal Helms book on CFCs in CFMX when it first came out. I had only dabbled in CFCs till now. Now I am hearing that the book may be outdated with regard to the way CFCs in CFMX 7 handle the scoping of variables, etc. Is this true? If so, where is a good resource for learning more about CFCs, especially in the CFMX 7 environment? The Macromedia site appears to ignore this or else I can't find any information. I might be insane or I missed some responses, but I didn't see anyone give you any links to information on CFCs. There are several links off the ColdFusion Developer Center page on macromedia.com: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/coldfusion/ There is an introductory article written by Ben Forta called Ben Forta on Architecture: Intro to ColdFusion Components that you might start with. Also, the ColdFusion MX Bible, written by Adam Churvis, has a lot of information on CFCs in CFMX 6.1, which should be applicable to most applications of CFMX 7.

That might also have been the case when outputting query data with cfloop, and I might have these totally reversed as far as which exhibited the aforementioned behavior. Either way, I never scoped query columns when looping over a query for this reason. I don't remember with which version of CF this changed.

Here's a little javascript majick to do the trick. Create a
little javascript like this:
InvalidTag type=text/javascript
function getFile(f) {
f.directory.value = f.uploadFile.value;
}
/script
Then in the body of the page, your form is like this:
form action= method=post enctype=multipart/form-data
name=uploadForm Browse to your file directory (pick a
file): input type=file name=uploadFile size=35
onblur=getFile(this.form);br input type=hidden
name=directory input type=submit value=submit /form
When the form is submitted, it will pass the full path of the
file that was selected. Then you can use the CF function Get
DirectoryFromPath(path) to get just the directory path you
want to use.
HTH.
This still won't work. There is no way for CF to access the filesystem, no
matter what you do. Only the uploaded file will be available on the server.
CF just has access to the file after it is uploaded, not before -- ever.

Verity and security through obscurity
Hi everyone, I wanted to get some feedback on how you go about scheduling the re-indexing of files with Verity, and where the actual code runs. Do you usually put your re-indexing code in a web-accessible directory and just use the cfschedule tag or admin to run it? Do you use a scheduled task with your OS's native scheduling program to run the Verity command line tools? Obscuring the file doesn't seem to be the best solution, but if you're using cfschedule, I don't think there is a way around keeping the file out of a web-accessible area. This is all very simple, but I wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything. Andy ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

But, relative to the webroot means if I have my 404 page at http://www.mysite.com/404.cfm, using /404.cfm in the missing template handler field should work (as in my second example I gave in the original post), but it doesn't. If you can prove to me it does work, then that is a good thing as you could have a separate error page in the root of each site (or within any sub-directory you choose under the root), so you wouldn't have to figure out which site the user got the error on by checking CGI variables.

CFMX catches missing .cfm and .cfml pages and displays the page defined in the missing template handler, but not .cfc or .jsp pages. IIS handles any other extensions with the custom error page I created (except for the above four I mentioned). Also, on a related note to this specific problem, the missing template handler IS NOT relative to the web root as the docs say. The only way I've gotten it to work is to use a mapping. You cannot use relative paths as in ../folder/file.cfm. You have to use /folder/file.cfm. From the technote: Configuring a missing template handler requires setting a path to the Missing Template Handler on the Settings page of the ColdFusion Administrator. It must be in a relative path of the web site. From the CFMX docs: Specify a template to execute when ColdFusion MX cannot find the requested template. This specification is relative to the web root. If the user is running Internet Explorer with Show Friendly HTTP error messages enabled in advanced settings (the default), Internet Explorer will only display this page if it contains more than 512 bytes. If my web root is http://www.mysite.com and my error page is at http://www.mysite.com/404.cfm, using /404.cfm in the missing template handler field does not work, which leads me to believe the technote should explicitly state that you have to use a mapping to specify where the page is. I haven't submitted this as a bug to MM yet because I wanted to get feedback on it to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious. Andy -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2005 5:35 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFMX 6.1 - Missing Template Handler Yes, thanks. As far as I've tested on IIS 5, checking the check that file exists checkbox doesn't do ANYTHING. IIS still passes missing .cfm files to CFMX regardless of that setting. Sometimes I wonder if even Macromedia knows how the missing template handler works. By default, that's how things are supposed to work. When you install CFMX on IIS, the web server connector sets up two things: an ISAPI extension and an ISAPI filter. The ISAPI filter intercepts any matching URL patterns before IIS itself can handle the request (or check to see if the file exists). The ISAPI filter is necessary for running servlets and for using Flash Remoting, I think.

CFMX 6.1 - Missing Template Handler
Hi everyone, OS is Windows 2000 Advanced Server w/ IIS 5. Has anyone noticed that CFMX only catches pages with .cfm and .cfml extensions as missing when the pages don't exist? .cfc and .jsp are also mapped to the same jrun.dll file, but CFMX doesn't catch missing pages with those extensions. Also, strangely, removing .jsp for the virtual directory I am running my test site on does not allow IIS to handle missing .jsp pages; I still get the stock CFMX page not found error. Either I am a raving lunatic or IIS is ascending the tree and checking the web site itself for a mapping to .jsp, and if it doesn't find it there it's going to the default properties of IIS. Restarting IIS isn't making a difference. It just doesn't seem possible that CFMX can still catch a missing .jsp page if IIS is not handing that extension off to the jrun.dll file. I just removed the .jsp mapping from the master property configuration page in IIS, restarted IIS, restarted CFMX, and I am getting the same stock CFMX page not found error for any random .jsp pages I type in. CFMX is handling .cfm and .cfml and IIS is handling every other page extension correctly. I could type in http://server/virtualdir/sadfhjasdfj.xxx and IIS is kicking in with the correct page not found. Any ideas?

RE: Extra query info
Michael, I just wrote some functionality for a government project recently that basically merged two Verity result sets and made a few changes to them at the same time. I found that there was nearly no overhead. Basically one result set had to appear AFTER the other (don't ask). Processing the queries using Q of Q with UNION was quite a bit slower, though it's all anecdotal timing under the bridge at this point... As far as calling a CFC in a loop or sending the whole query to the CFC to be looped over, I couldn't say without testing it both ways, and even then you wouldn't get accurate results unless you load tested. All things being equal, though, it would seem to make the most sense to do whichever way would be most pertinent to the functionality of the app. Will the method be used by any other parts of the program or is it specific to this one process? You might want to create two methods: the public one that takes a query object could call the private method that does the processing on each row.

I'd have to say extremely good with a 0ms hit on most occasions. As for a performance hit when building/altering queries, I've never heard of one but I'll do some tests to be sure. A query 'object' is just like an array 'object' or structure 'object'. They're all just data collections. On the other hand, a QoQ does have some overhead but that's due to it having a whole query parsing engine and all. Not a lot of overhead in most cases, but it's not as efficient as some things (like struct functions). Michael, I don't know if this will play into it at all, but I seem to remember some people talking about performance hits when you build new queries or add columns/data to existing queries using the query functions in CF. The method of using a CFC to format the data and return a new query object may have bad performance in that realm if what I've heard is true. Also, once you create the CFC as an object, you should be able to make as many calls as you want to it without nearly as much overhead. I have no data to back that up, but from what I've heard, that seems like it'd be the case. If I'm wrong, I'd love to hear about it.

Lets say you have a query with multiple rows in it. There is a few calculations that will take place between items in a row to get some additional values per row (i.e. a discount price, etc.). One way of doing this is when outputting the query, you send the specific data to a CFC (It's used in multiple places) and get out a structure. This means that a 20 row query has 20 calls to the CFC. Another way of doing it is to pass the whole query to a CFC which will then loop over the query, do the calculations and then place the results into new columns within the query. The first has a single loop but multiple CFC calls while the second has 2 loops (inside the CFC and out) but a single CFC call. Which do you prefer? Do you see a problem with either approach?

RE: MS SQL server replication
Russ, I've only theorized about SQL Server replication, but it's on my to-do list this month, I swear! What I can tell you is that yes, you can do it. SQL Server BOL (books online) documentation does a good job of steering you in the right direction, and I've also found the information in SQL Server 2000 Administrator's companion from MS Press useful. If you open up the BOL docs, go to the Contents tab and there is a whole section devoted to replication. As for 5 web servers hitting one database server and another 5 hitting the other, I assume you could do that but I don't see why. If you were running them in a load balanced/failover mode, you'd want to distribute the load evenly between the two, I would think, and that wouldn't necessarily give you a 5:1 ratio. As for the more technical aspects, I'll leave that to someone more seasoned in this area than myself. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, and good luck!

One thing I'd like to add is that by using the query functions you are also able to add the 2nd recordset to the end of the first recordset. If you were to use a union query and weren't explicity ordering the unioned recordset, CFMX will use the first field as the index field and merge your queries and not place the second result set at the end of the first.

search engine ideas
Hi everyone, I'd like to get your take on the techniques you've used or might use when building a file-based search engine with Verity that would include the ability to: 1. Specify that certain pages come up if certain keywords are entered, e.g. typing a product name would bring that product page up regardless of how many times the product name is mentioned in the actual file, so relevance would only count after the primary page(s) are displayed at the top of the results list. 2. Refine a search. If there are 1000 pages returned, how would you allow the user to search within those results? I've got my own ideas of how I would accomplish these goals but I'd like to hear other ideas/thoughts from the community.

RE: Suggestion for Windows HTML editor
Hi Damien, I've been evaluating PrimalScript 3.1 and it looks like a winner.Sam Neff has mentioned it numerous times so I figured I'd check it out.It does all of what you are asking, and more.Also, the download is under 4MB, and it uses a little over 10MB on disk.I just slapped a bunch of help files in a separate directory (including CFMX ones from DWMX) and pointed PrimalScript at them; very easy.This gives you context help via the F1 key when you are within a CFMX tag or function.Also, PrimalSense is already configured to give you the CFMX tag-insight popups you've come to know and love.The only thing it lacks for me is CSS support, but I use TopStyle 3.1 for that and I love it. There are plenty of ways you can customize this tool.One I particularly like is being able to have one of your open documents be an actual web page, so you can keep a reference link on your toolbar handy to specific web references and whatnot.Another thing I like is you can have the icon associated with each file type you open display next to the tabbed filename, so it's easy to tell at a glance what file types are without looking at the extension. I like DWMX a lot more than I used to, but it's still a little quirky for me.One of the things Jim Davis pointed out is the file browser -- yech!I always mis-read what level I am on.Also, I've found that DWMX always freezes up for a minute every now and then when I work with a mapped drive off my local server.I know this to be the exact cause because I can work locally for hours on end and that never happens (this is with the 7.0.1 updater). One thing I WILL say about DWMX is that it encompasses all of these features and more, and I really like the built-in CSS support, but I still find myself gravitating away from it time and again.

RE: CFC Practices
Yes, I have a lot of this going on in my last project.Some complex database transactions have more than one method that gets used in more than one main transaction, so these are broken up into private methods, called by just referencing the method itself WITHIN the CFC (which is the keyword). As far as I know (and according to the docs) you can't instantiate a CFC with cfinvoke and then call methods on it external to the CFC, without specifying the component name again. I remember something about CFMX not invoking a duplicate component again if you do happen to use cfinvoke with the same component name in the same request, but that's just hearsay as I don't remember where I heard it from, so someone else might want to weigh in on more of the technical aspects. -Original Message- From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 30, 2004 10:54 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFC Practices In a CFC it is possible to call another function of the same CFC without specifying the component attribute (like so): CFInvoke Method=Set_Order Has anyone tried this and is there any savings or penalty for doing it this way?

The subject didn't have anything to do with reports, but a list returned to the user in it's entirety.The discussion was about caching, and in this case there is no need to return all 5000 records to the user because the user will not page through them anyway without entering some sort of criteria. Reports are a whole different matter and there are many ways to deal with those, including, but not limited to, denormalized database tables as well as caching. -Original Message- From: G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 30, 2004 12:34 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: The search is killing the server. Please help! To that end, when you work for the Government as I do, the ridiculous quickly becomes the ordinary.A query returning 5000 records, and a report to display all those records, is not only a possibility, its LIKELY. All you can do as a designer is get your objections on record, then do your best to minimize the damage.enter caching.

RE: The search is killing the server. Please help!
On my last project I had to present a large amount of items to the user using a next/prev style interface.Since there were a lot of filters to narrow down the returned data, I just ended up presenting the top 20 items to the user and basically forced them to use the filter to narrow their search. The criteria was basically: If the user enters no data to filter by, present only the top 20 items ordered by a specific field(s) per the business rules. If the user did enter some filter data, then all the results were returned and they could page through them.This way there was no caching involved.The data changes quite a bit as there are various people working in the system all day, so we opted to implement the listing in this way. Other parts of the site do use query caching, but the way the data is being presented/used dictates that method in those cases.Some even use a combination of both where necessary.

Hello everybody, I'm working on a logging system. The site search as you can imagine is very complicated and a lot depends on it. I have written a stored procedure for the search to make the search quicker with a lot of inner and outer joins (the usual). The seach is very quick most of the times, but if the search returns say for ex 5000 + records, it takes a while for it to display the results in the browser. I have impletemented paging, the search displays 100 records per page and then you have the prev and next links to choose from. I'll give you an example to hopefully give you a better understanding. If I do a search that returns say 5000 records, the search takes on an average 15-20 seconds, displays the first 100 records. Now if the user clicks on the next button, coldfusion runs the entire query once again, but this time displays 101 - 200 records. So each time you hit on the 'prev' or 'next' buttons, the seach is re-run. I was wondering if there was a way round this. We already know that the search has returned 5000 records and the first page is displaying the first 100 records. When the user hits on the 'next' button, I want to simply ask for the next 100 records and not run the entire query. Is this making any sense? I guess if sql has a 'between' clause or a 'startrow' and 'endrow' clause, this woud be very easy to do?

RE: The search is killing the server. Please help!
I don't agree with this.You can cache pretty much any query as long as the server has the resources, but that doesn't mean you should cache everything. In my experience caching in general takes a bit of forethought to implement in the most efficient way.As long as you return a query, you can cache it in a number of different ways.Whether a query should be cached or not is the more pertinent question.

Caching queries in application scope is a gray area, sometimes it can be implemented very soon, and sometimes it is very hard to implement. It all depends on the sql code being executed.

RE: The search is killing the server. Please help!
Yeah, it's a documented tag that is nested inside the cfstoredproc tag. It's called cfprocresult and it allows you to return multiple recordsets. -Original Message- From: Tangorre, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2004 12:33 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: The search is killing the server. Please help! The advantages of doing this instead of using the CFSTOREDPROC tag are that you can cache recordsets using CACHEDWITHIN/CACHEDAFTER, and that you can write it a little more easily in some cases. Is there anyway to reference more than one recordset? We have a lot of stored procs that return 2 or 3 so we find ourselves using cfstoredproc in those instances and cfquery with EXEC PRON_NAME in other instances.. Mainly select queries where we want to cache the results. Mik [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
