Coldfusion best practice guide request
A few years ago (probably in the CF 5 days) someone on this list posted a two page Coldfusion best practice guide that they wrote. This Coldfusion best practice guide consisted of basic naming conventions for structures, tables and arrays along with a few basic performance best practices like use cfif len(foo) rather than cfif foo is not '' Does anyone have a Coldfusion best practice guide that they would be willing to share? I am reviewing some of the things we call best practice in the office and hope to write up a best practice guide for myself. Plus, I always like seeing what other programmers know, often it is more than I thought I did. If you don't want to share your best practice guide on this list you can mail it to mark @ vividmedia.com thanks Mark W.

What is null null,The error occurred on line -1
Does any one know what is cause of this error CFMX 7 is throwing, null null The error occurred on line -1? After seeing this error, CF needs to be restarted in order for CF to function. I remember have this problem with CFMX 6 first shipped. After a few tweaks and a few hot fixes the problem did go away. Any one have any idea what this error is or how it is triggered? And how to prevent it? Thanks, Mark W.

Does any one know if CFMX 7.01 for OSX is for development only? Can it run in production? If so, then Blue Dragon is not the only CFM server for OSX.

HTML entities render in text areas
This seems like something we should have stumbled on to years ago, but for the first time this is causing us problems. Am I correct in my observations that text areas render HTML entities? If so how do you guys deal with this? I have a HTML newsletter email that is pasted into a text area and saved to a database. When the HTML body of the email is edited by reloading into a text area and saving it, all of the HTML entities are converted to extended characters . There must be a simple way to stop this anyone have ideas? Thanks, Mark W.

RE: CFMX 7 won;t stay running
It seems that the inverse may be true too. Giving CF too much memory can lead to CFMX failing to start under load. http://www.sargeway.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=entryentry=27 I have not seen this problem on CFMX 7 *yet* but about every 4-6 months I would be forced to delete all of the java byte code files to keep CFMX6 running. I think I tracked it down to a corrupted byte code file(s). I would see CFMX6 shutdown for seemingly no reason. After deleting the files the CFMX6 server would run just fine with no issues. I even built a bat file. net stop ColdFusion MX Application Server Del C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\WEB-INF\cfclasses\*.* net start ColdFusion MX Application Server As always... Your mileage may vary.

RE: CFMX 7 won;t stay running
Thanks Dave, I give that a try. Come to think of it, I'm sure it will help our performance on one of our servers. We have 65-70 very low traffic sites on it with tons of cfm files. The server would always run faster after deleting the class files. I feared my performance would drop if I turned of save class files and with our having time to test, I left it alone. -I guess you do learn something everyday, even if you resist it. Mark W.

RE: CFMX7 Now casts query columns as datetime?
I can verify that it is CF that is doing this. In CFMX (6) you could set any query cell to any value. In CFMX 7 it looks that CFMX uses typed columns. You can not use querysetcell to format a date in the mm/dd/ format, if the query is returning a date column. Anyone else see this? Mark W.

Has anyone else noticed that CFMX7 now casts a date column as date time in queries? Or is it just a Monday and I have not recovered from the weekend? I'm not positive, but I would guess that's how your database driver is returning them, not CF. Perhaps it was a change in drivers between 6.1 and 7 but CF itself doesn't really have anything to do with this (although I could be wrong).

RE: CFMX7 Now casts query columns as datetime?
Tony, The application where this is used needs to be keep generic and needs to be able to accept many different types of data. This application is one part of an in-house system smartVar UDF, I wrote to really simplify the creation of the many CRUD (CreateReadUpdateDelete) pages I make. (I think you an I have traded mails about this in the past) So what my UDF does is it looks for the value of the input, first in a form var, then in a query var. If neither the form OR query contain a value for the input box then it is just blank. Also, since the form submits to its self then it will pull the value from the form and not the query after you submit the page. Does that help explain it it? I *think* the new CFMX7 CFinputs have some of this functionality. MB Thanks! Mark W.

Verity headache with explicit search
I am having a problem on one of my sites with the verity search. I need to search a verity collection and retrieve all products that contain any part of the part number. I.e. A search for Q12345 should return part numbers 12345, A12345-B, Q123... Etc The same search criteria is also used in a verity simple description search. Both of these CFsearches are then output to the webpage. The problem comes in when someone enters a reserved word in the search box like book end End is a word verity chokes on when doing an explicit search. I am about to dump the verity search part of the part number and replace it with a SQL partnumber like %criteria% query. (Yes, I will have to take steps to make sure SQL injection is not an issue.)

RE: Homesite 5.5 vs. Dual Monitors
Not to brag here but, I some how ended up with 3 - 19inch monitors. My new computer was ordered with dual monitors, as do all of our new computers and I keep my old 19 monitor.

Multi monitors are sorta like drugs, once you try two monitors you always want one more. :-) Just a quick summery of how I use the 3 monitors. Left monitor has itunes, e-mail, AIM windows, DW panels (files, code, tag inspector), and a few explore windows. The middle monitor has DW or what ever I will be spending the majority of my time doing that day. Right monitor has SQL enterprise manager, FTP FF, IE and often a few other things in it.

Pro/Con Moving from MSSQL to MySQL
We are in the early stages of *thinking* about moving away from MS SQL server and moving to MySQL. Can anyone give me a quick pro / con points for doing this or not doing this? We have about 60 Databases set up on on a server that gets low traffic. Few thousand users per day. Mostly we use the database as a data storage. We have only a few stored procedures that probably really don't need to be Stored Procedures. The heaviest load we ever put on the SQL server is a few report admin pages where we use SQL to sum and count various stats about the users answers.

RE: Pro/Con Moving from MSSQL to MySQL
Yeah, I thought that question might come up... We are configing a new windows 2000 webserver server and the owner walked up and just asked out of the blue what if we install MySql and not MSSQL. (and no this was not a Dilbert Pointy haired Boss sorta moment.) We have talked about moving to a non Windows platform for our production servers in the future. And since MSSQL only runs on windows we would need to move to another database platform. We are still in the very early stages of mapping out our tech plan for what OS platforms we want to use in production. So, nothing is set in stone just yet. I am primarily just doing research now, so I thought I would ask people who have worked with MySQL and have good and bad experiences. Thanks, Mark W.

RE: Pro/Con Moving from MSSQL to MySQL
If I am not mistaken in that is a new feature in MySql 4.1. We just dealt with this issue for a client that wanted to run their CFMX/MSSQL site on a Mac Blue Dragon/MySQL server. If I recall correctly in 4.1 you can control how the auto-populated date field works. We have two date fields in each table, recorddate and recordupdateddate. Mark W.

Can anyone give me a quick pro / con points for doing this or not doing this? I'm a big MySQL fan, and a long-time MS-SQL developer/admin so I've done a lot of work stradling both camps. I'd give you one fundamental piece of advice: Don't do it just because MySQL is free (as in beer) Yeah, there's an order of magnitude difference in cost (MS-SQL unlimited is 5k/proc; MySQL is 500/server if you license it, which is optional for most folks). But unless you're running *lots* of processors, the savings are minimal. Pros/cons are a little hard to do unless without reference to specific needs, but based on the scenario you have below (lots of read, little write) MyISAM tables are probably faster than MS-SQL, and you can run the app on more operating systems. And it's cheaper on the backup and staging side since you don't have to pay MS rates for those licenses. We have about 60 Databases set up on on a server that gets low traffic. Few thousand users per day. Mostly we use the database as a data storage. We have only a few stored procedures that probably really don't need to be Stored Procedures. The heaviest load we ever put on the SQL server is a few report admin pages where we use SQL to sum and count various stats about the users answers. MySQL is plenty powerful enough, though it benefits a lot more from tuning than MS-SQL does in my experience -- both of those tools provide similar *query* tuning options, but MySQL has hundreds of options that can be tweaked to provider fine-grained control on tuning the server while MS-SQL basically does a lot of self-tuning. I know that we will have to rewrite anything that we have used MSSQL functions and MSSQL SQL commands. Less than you think needs rewritten -- MySQL has lots of common MS-SQL (and Oracle, etc) commands built-in or aliased to the native MySQL functions. The only difference in very common SQL off the top of my head is the non-standard way Microsoft does queries with a rowlimit -- MySQL uses SELECT xx LIMIT N etc instead of SELECT TOP N xx like MS-SQL. -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:196318 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Sloppy - Yahoo! Slurp throwing CFerrors
Does anyone else see CFerrors from Yahoo's spider / bot Slurp? We monitor all CFerrors that are generated on our servers. It seems that Yahoo! Slurp is responsible for over 60% of the errors per week that are thrown by our production webservers. It looks like Slurp is appending almost random values to the query strings. id=5%E2%84%91=2 or it may append an old URL var that has not been used for years like view=archive. (This one throws a CF_SQL_NUMERIC error now.) Does anyone know of a way I can get Slurp to stop hitting these pages with invalid URL vars? And still keep Slurp indexing the site normaly? FYI I have a custom cf error page. After thinking about this for a little while I can see where my custom cf error page may not look like an error page to Slurp.

RE: Sloppy - Yahoo! Slurp throwing CFerrors
I don't think using 404 headers would work, since it is not a missing page, but a bad URL parameter. Using 500 server error header would be much closer to what I want, I think. How would one go about sending a 500 server error header at the top of a custom error page? I assume it is more than just putting 500 server error in the title tag. Thanks! Mark W.

RE: Firewall question
This is really splitting hairs here, but I thought I would point this out anyway. A hardware firewall is a computer type thing, running software. Regardless if it is a Cisco PIX or a linksys wireless router. But given the choice I would go with hardware. It may also be good to point out that both have pros and cons. If the hardware firewall is running then it is working for the most part. It is possible that a software firewall could crash and your server still keep running unprotected. Software firewalls can be updated to block newer attacks and packet filter rules in a similar way as a antivirus program is updated. I personally run both a hardware firewall (Cisco PIX) provided by the Co-loc provider we use and a Software firewall. I have been using black ice for the software firewall but, now we are switching over to Tiny firewall 6 server. Or so that is the current plan. Mark W.

Firewall for CF server
I am spec-ing out software for a new windows 2003 CFMX server. I currently use black ice server ($300) on my other servers for its packet inspecting. I like many of its features like Buffer overflow attempt monitoring/blocking, Repeated FTP login attempt monitoring/blocking, Port scan monitoring/blocking etc... Sadly according to the sales rep for IIS.net they are discontinuing black ice. The replacement product is about the same price of the new dell rackmonut server we would put it on. I fear the new product is a few $1000 out of our price range. What do the rest of you use for software firewall / packet inspection? FYI, The servers are also behind a Cisco pix firewall.

RE: Mambo SQL query help.... Please
Jochem, Thank you for your reply. You have answered one of my questions I have never asked but, always wondered about. How a stored procedure improves performance. Is there a better way to get the end result then using the inline queries? I am running a MSSQL 2000 database. The execution plan in SQL Query Analyzer for this query is as large or larger then the query itself. Now how do I tell if the query is I/O bound or CPU bound? Thanks for your help. Mark W.

Breneman wrote: So my question is where do I get started rewriting this query. If that is an option, start with optimizing the data model. First off I can see that the yes, No and NA should be converted to a number. To a BOOLEAN. The DISTRICT also needs to be converted to a number. In general, you need to normalize the data. Obviously the DISTRICT should be a foreign key to a district table, but for instance, I am wondering if STUDENT_AGE_AT_IEP isn't redundant with for instance some table with records from students which has a birthday. Then the whole thing needs to be converted into a stored procedure. Why? For performance? A stored procedure has a precompiled execution plan so it saves you the time to parse and plan the query. From the looks of it you are running multiple indexscans and possibly even seqscans on the table so that won't help you. It saves you 99.99% of the 1 second it takes to compile, and doesn't help with the 119 seconds it takes to run. Profile the query. What is the execution plan? Is your system I/O bound or CPU bound? What DBMS are you using?

SOT: MSQSL 2nd CPU upgrade and Single SQL License
We have an older CFMX and SQL server (yes both on same box) that is running slow after we added a very dB intensive client. We have an extra CPU out of a parts server in the back room that we are thinking that we will install as a band aid / quick fix. We currently only have a single CPU license of MS SQL What I need to know is will MS SQL have a problem with the 2nd CPU. I saw a post somewhere that suggested that MS SQL may refuse to start after the second CPU is installed. Until we get a 2nd CPU license I would like to assign SQL to use 100% of the 2nd CPU, is that possible? Can anyone confirm that MS SQL physically requires 2nd CPU license to start up after installing a 2nd CPU? Thanks Mark W.

One of the new features that I was told Ver 5 will have is the ability to install ServersAlive on each of your servers then set one (Or your desktop) as master. This master one will have the ability to check / display all of the stats (Drive space, CPU uilt. Servies, etc) of the slave ServersAlive clients. Also, if one of the servers in this group goes down each member of the group check to see if they can see the down server then the group will send one page / email, rather then each of the members sending their own page.

This is not exactly what you are looking for, but it may work better, Build a data base to hold a local temp version of the data from the remote server. Then have a Scheduled Task run every minute or so to update your local version of the data. This should greatly speed up any page that relies on a query that could take 5 seconds.

RE: Intel HyperThreading
HT will not make a large difference in most stuff that you do on your desktop. Keep in mind the theory behind HT. In a very simplified nut shell you take one CPU and make it two logical CPUs.(more or less)So it will not make a 3Ghz CPU any faster then a 3Ghz CPU. Where you do see a difference is everything seems to respond just a little quicker due to there are twice as many logical CPUs to service CPU requests. This can be seen when windows starts up the lag between seeing your desktop icons and windows being useable is much shorter with HT. I had a problem with some apps crashing (Norton anti-SPAM) with HT on. To be fair to NAS it would crash weekly anyway, with HT on it would crash daily. Donna, are you replacing a desktop or a server? If you are replacing a desktop I would not go with a dual CPU. Unless you have some mad money just sitting around. Your desk top apps are more then likely not written to take advantage of dual CPUs.

I guess I should have qualified what I said by saying that HT is more or less dual CPU emulation.

Russell Patterson - Original Message - From: Jim Davis To: CF-Talk Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2004 9:14 AM Subject: RE: Intel HyperThreading I, for one, really miss my dually desktop. ;^) Remember that while most desktop apps are not able to fully to take advantage of dual CPUs you are far more likely to be running multiple apps at once on a desktop.There's an odd feeling of power on a dually: even while doing something processor intensive like encoding video I could click on Outlook and it would open immediately.So very sweet. On a single processor machine you hear some thrashing, then, maybe the Outlook frame opens. then a minute later you see the interface. then a few minutes later you can click something.HyperThreading improves this kind of thing pretty dramatically, but not close to as much as true dual CPUs do. But in short if you multi-task a lot (and what developer doesn't?) then dual CPUs on the desktop can increase response time dramatically (although it doesn't generally make any individual task run any faster at all). At the same time there are issues - a minor one, for example, is that if you're using Windows XP you'll need Professional, not home, to take advantage of dual CPUs.Also if heat is a problem in your area then remember that you'll have two space heaters trying to fry your drives in a dually.Power consumption goes up as well. Lastly you'll also find that most of the motherboards available for dually - especially modern ones - are almost all skewed towards server usage. You'll find few PCI slots (but a lot of PCI 64 slots), lots of built in SCSI and very few consumer additions like firewire and 802.11.Also these boards tend to be more expensive and if you want to go the Intel route then you're stuck with more expensive Xeon CPUs since regular P4s have been dual-locked and won't work. If you're willing to go back in time however then your options open up - find an old Soyo VP6 motherboard, maybe some Taulitin converters and a coupla PIII 1.3 Ghz. it'll make for a smoking server or workstation (as long as you don't overload the PCI bus. a problem on the VP6) and the cost should be reasonable. You might also wait until next year and see how things play out: both Intel and AMD are pushing heavily on dual-core chips (single chips sporting two CPU cores, two sets of L2 cache and single memory controllers).Intel has recently announced, retroactively, that Hyperthreading was just a step in this direction and got application designers used to thinking in these terms - by the end of next year they've intimated that all their chips will be multi-core - even their mobile chips.

Yeah, that works fine. I get a directory lists. Security is not a problem as it is only a local development server. What files does it use in this directory anyway? It doesn't actually use any files. An RDS client simply sends HTTP requests to /CFIDE/Main/ide.cfm, and in many cases it doesn't matter whether that file even exists! If your web server is configured to check for a file's existence before returning a response, though, you may encounter errors if the file doesn't actually exist. With CFMX, that usually isn't an issue because CFMX detects specific URL patterns and processes them before the web server gets around to checking for the file.

While we are on this topic, about 9 months ago I ran across a RDS error that would pop up a please insert disk in to the A: drive error. The rds connection would not fully connect until the insert disk message was dismissed. (I also am guess that this request held open a CF worker thread. If I triedto connect to the RDS server 5 times (max threads set to 5 in CFadmin), with out dismissing the insert disk message, the CF server seems to go down.) I reported it to MM and they sorta confirmed it was a bug, but they could not reproduce it. Does anyone know if this is fixed in the latest CF update or if there is a tweak that can be made to CF to fix this. I haven't had that problem with CFMX, but to solve it in prior versions, I'd just leave a formatted floppy in the A drive!

I haven't been paying much attention today, so I'm not 100% sure what's
been said on this thread, but something I was thinking was that you
could put that string in a div and then check the width of the div.
There's a css property to give the actual width of the div as opposed to
the assigned width attribute so maybe that would help some.It'd be a
little extra work to get that variable into CF, but it seems doable.

createobject(java,java.awt.Toolkit).getDefaultToolkit().getFontMetri

Pixel_Width = font_metrics_obj.stringWidth('My co-worker is mean');

Subject: Determining physical length of text string (not char count)
Hello everyone,
We're trying to figure out if there's a way in CF to figure out the
actual, physical length of a string of text - eg, in pixels, inches,
whatever.
The issue - we need to be able to accept user data for a field, that
will eventually be printed to a PDF.That PDF has strict specs as to
how long a line of text can be.Of course, that'd be simple enough,
if it was printed in a fixed-width font... but it's not, and we don't
have the option of changing it.
So... I need to find a way to detemine how long a string of text will
be, given the font type, style, point size.Anyone have any ideas
how to do this from within CF?(This is under MX, BTW).
Many thanks for any suggestions!
Dirk

RE: CF Administrator won't load??
Windows XP I assume. My guess is that IIS is not assigned to use 127.0.0.1. In the IIS admin you can assign 127.0.0.1 under the advanced button OR just select all unsigned that should fix it.

RE: CF Administrator won't load??
Hey Christy, You can leave 127.0.0.1 assigned to the webserver. 127.0.0.1 is a special loop-backIP address that can only be access by the machine itself. Thus it is not publicly accessible. See link below. Chris makes a very good point regarding the CFadmin being exposed to the public. Am I correct in reading between the lines that this is your development workstation that you are running IIS on and you are not running a publicly accessible website site? If this is the case then you only have to worry about your office workers guessing your CFadmin password. In any case, it is always a good idea to at least put some folder security on the cfide folder.I have heard of some CFadmins that zip up the Cfide folder and move it to anther drive after they are done configing the server. Then they have to restore the folder to use the Cfadmin. IP Loopback Address 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address in IP. Loopback is a test mechanism of http://compnetworking.about.com/library/glossary/bldef-adapter.htm network adapters. Messages sent to 127.0.0.1 do not get delivered to the network. Instead, the adapter intercepts all loopback messages and returns them to the sending application. IP applications often use this feature to test the behavior of their network interface.more at http://compnetworking.about.com/library/weekly/aa042400c.htm Mark W.

RE: Server Rebuild Questions
Not sure what your Dev DNSs are or how many you have, but we have about 70-90 on our dev server. That is a major pain to re-setup on a new server or to rebuild a damaged server. I wrote a simple script that found the application.cfm for each client then parsed out the DSN name and displayed all of them on a webpage. I then put one of the out of work (one of the guys waiting for me to rebuild the server) developers to work recreating the DSN while I did something else. Detaching and Attaching does work well. I found that it stuck _data in some of the database names last I did it. Mark W.

Our dev server also is running an instance of SQL server with approximately 15 databases inside.What's the best way to move all of the databases (and, if possible, the SQL settings and logins and security) from one server to the next.I wasn't sure if I could just copy the data files over or if I needed to run backups on each database to get those files.Any tips or tricks would be extremely helpful. 3. We also have an instance of MySQL installed, which I'm not 100% sure needs to be on the new server, but if it does, any tips or tricks for moving that over? Thanks in advance for the help!

Consume CFMX webservice in MSAccess
I have a client that has built an impressive MS Access database based on an excel data dump of his database on my CFMX server. We are looking to move to the next level and let him get the data via CFMX webservice and import it directly into access. I assume there is a tool for making MS access talk to a webservice, but I am having a hard time finding one.Does anyone out there know of one? Thanks Mark W.

RE: Releasing client to do another process?
I did something like that in a registration system not to long ago. The record needed to be transferred instantly to the clients database. (What we found out later is that all records sat in a holding table until the nightly import :-) ) I needed to kick off record transfer but I did not want a user to get an error if the client dB was down for nightly service. So I built a secluded task in the last step of the registration process to transfer that record. Mark W.

Not knocking here, just asking. Thanks for the improvements to cfmail. I

How does each batch get sent out?
Does CF open a new connection to the mail server per message? If so, does CF

Mark,
CFMX Professional has limits on the number of messages it will deliver when
the spooler runs.The formula in CFMX 6.1 is:
int batch_size = 35;
if (size 100)
{
batch_size = size / (int)Math.log ((double)size);
if (batch_size 1000) batch_size = 1000;
if (batch_size 35) batch_size = 35;
}
There are no external tweaks to this calculation.
CFMX Enterprise goes flat out till *all* of the messages are delivered, and
then it will go to sleep for the spool interval.

RE: IIS Automation questions
You should be able to find the info you are looking for here: http://www.iisanswers.com/ http://www.iisanswers.com/ What version of IIS are you running; IIS 6 (Windows 2003 server) uses a XML file to hold the IIS meta base C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\metabase.xml.I have not yet tried to see if you can make live changes to this OR not. My first guess is you would have to reset IIS to see any changes. I did some research a while back to see if I could deal with the log folders issue W3SVC, I seem to remember that there way a way of removing the folder names, but as I recall it created more problems for me than it solved. We settled for making a folder with the client's name then putting the W3SVCxxx log folder in inside the client folder. Check out the Adsutil.vbs it is a utility that uses Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition to manipulate the IIS configuration http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/iis/6/all/proddocs/en-us/pr og_use_adsutil.mspx Mark W.

RE: Slow Down CFmail?
You get what you pay for LOL
In this case I got way too many messages being sent to my mail server.
Not knocking MM here, but you gotta laugh at the fact that I want to slow
down the mail sending and I would have to buy the enterprise version to do
that.
Thanks Tom!

Enterprise does have a mail features that Professional does not.
- Maintains connections to SMTP servers
- Multithreaded delivery
- Backup mail servers
- High throughput of messages
We will not expose the batch processing in Professional to admin control.
It is what it is.If you want more control, you need Enterprise.

One more question Tom,
How does each batch get sent out?
Does CF open a new connection to the mail server per message? If so, does CF
make multiple connections to the mail server at the same time?

Mark,
CFMX Professional has limits on the number of messages it will deliver when
the spooler runs.The formula in CFMX 6.1 is:
int batch_size = 35;
if (size 100)
{
batch_size = size / (int)Math.log ((double)size);
if (batch_size 1000) batch_size = 1000;
if (batch_size 35) batch_size = 35;
}
There are no external tweaks to this calculation.
CFMX Enterprise goes flat out till *all* of the messages are delivered, and
then it will go to sleep for the spool interval.

Slow Down CFmail?
This may sound like an odd request but, here goes anyway.Is there a way I can slow down the mail queue on CFMX? Not a lot just a little. I have a mail server that is seemingly not able to handle the burst load that the CFmail queue puts on it.The server does not go down hard but, it will ignore all requests for a few seconds.It *looks* like these ignored requests causes CF to put messages in to the undeliverable folder. One of our clients will send out his mail list that has no more then 5K members and most of the messages will go out, but a few will get stuck and the mail log will have several (10 or 11) Could not connect to SMTP host entries. I know that I could build a script that would put the messages back into the spool folder, but I am hoping to find another way. Oh, and changing mail servers right now is not an option.

I have gotten them to agree to allow me to earn a royalty based on a percentage of the revenue they charge for each subscription.The number that has been thrown out is 30%.So for example, if they sell a subscription for $10 per month, I get $3 per month and they get the rest. I do not have to put up any money.I will be continuing to develop and enhance the application as well as supporting it technically.However, I will not be providing END USER support.I will provide support to the company that is marketing it.They will deal with the end users. I will also make myself available to customize the application for any of their customers, however, I'm sure they will charge extra for this, so in essence, I will get extra since I would get 30% of the revenue. My questions are as follows: 1.Is 30% a fair amount?What's the standard? 2.Does it sound like a good deal to you?Is there anything I should be asking for that I haven't mentioned? 3.Any other comments/suggestions? Thanks for your input.I welcome it.This is the first time I've had the privelege to do this, so I'm very excited, but want to be sure I do it the right way.

RE: ad weights
One real simple idea would be to add the weighted ads to your array X times in random slots. Then all you have to decide is how many times you want the add to show up value of X. This maybe way too simple for the complexity of what this ad system sounds like. Mark W. Breneman -Cold Fusion Developer -Network Administrator Vivid Media [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.vividmedia.com 608.270.9770 _ From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 18, 2004 4:08 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: ad weights Here's a fun task. I'm building pay per click ads for HoF (in place of banner ads and yes, the list ads are coming off). One thing is that I need to give each ad a weight in relation to another to show how often it should come up. I've thought of a few ideas and wanted to hear what others think. Basically, there's a table of ads that's dumped into an application array for caching. The question is, how to dump the ads in order to give 'high paying' ads more show than 'low paying' (or free) ads. This is one idea: When this table is dumped into an application array, a position in the array is given for each ad for each dollar (or part) it has. .01 is 1 position. $1 is 1 position. $1.01 is 2 positions. This is rather simple and works well for small amounts of ads, but when you get a lot, it fails. ex: 99 ads at .01 and 1 ad at $5 will equal an array of 104 items. The big paying ad has a greater chance of being seen in relation to any other ad, but is buried under all the low paying ads. Another idea is to have sub arrays for each price grouping. In this example, the chances of a $5 text ad coming up is far greater than a $1 ad and if a $5 comes up, then it'll be one of several $5 ads. This may work and I'm building it now.

RE: Microsoft acknowledges CF!
Very interesting.. I am some what surprised that CF is not bashed too bad in the article. I find it sorta funny that some the CF examples use several line breaks to show one tag. Thus making the CF code block seem almost as long as the asp code block. But a surprisingly fair comparison. But, we all know that CF is always the best tool for the job. grinwinkwink Mark W.

RE: ColdFusion Developer Edition
Yes, $50-$100 for a Dev work group version that serves only the current subnet would be really nice.(Not that my office needs it. We got involved in a dot bomb and now we have plenty of extra CF server licenses for Dev servers.) Not that I am trying to defeat MM's single IP dev version, but could you not take a basic home router and plug it in backwards (wan port to the single IP CF server) and thus the router uses only 1 IP address to access the CF server?Then whole network can access the CF server through the router via NAT?I doubt I will ever try this config. Just thinking out loud. I am 100% sure this violates the Dev server licensing or at least the sprit of it. :-) Mark W. Breneman -Cold Fusion Developer -Network Administrator Vivid Media [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.vividmedia.com 608.270.9770 _ From: Kevin Graeme [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 11:25 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: ColdFusion Developer Edition - Original Message - From: Dave Watts I don't know what Bob's needs are, but we regularly want to evaluate a piece of software before even putting it on our test server. Our test server is a mirror of the production server and shouldn't have random evaluation stuff or beta testing software put on it. But the personal Developer license doesn't give our department the ability to actually look at the product being tested without everyone standing over someone's shoulder. Isn't that what the 30-day Trial Version is for? Or am I missing something? That's fine if you're testing everything within that 30-day period. But most of the things I have don't all come up in the same month. And wiping the box and reinstalling everything every 30 days isn't practical. And at least around here, nothing can be really tested in 30 days AND people still work on all the other things we get paid to do. It's usually: install, make sure it runs, send out an email for people to look at it, a couple weeks later enough people have gotten around to looking at it that we can talk about it and decide what to look at more. A real project with a high priority comes up and requires attention and puts off testing for weeks. Repeat for at least 3 months. Heck, just getting a followup meeting for some committees around here doesn't happen within 30 days. Maybe smaller shops that don't have a lot of work to do can get stuff fully evaluated within 30 days, but we sure don't. Lest I come off as whining, I'm not meaning to. I'm just stating the facts of our situation and why it would be nice to have a $50 developer workgroup license or something. -Kevin _ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
