  The CMS our company uses and is currently getting ready to release
 open
 source makes building forms a bit more fun. It doesn't read the DB yet
 (future will) but it does create the tables, columns and has built in
 validation etc. You can even export a form and import it into another
 site.
 This is how we get say an article form from site A to site B with very
 little work :)

MySQL I would have no problem with - it's the tables and structure for the
MS SQL sample database I need, if I had the scripts for them I could just
create a db on hostmysite and run the script to get the sample databases.

 Ok, to run MySql locally, just download the community server version

 To use MySql on HostMySite, you'll need to connect to their MySql
 installation (I'm assuming you can get the details from them) and
 then you can use a GUI frontend, such as Navicat to create the tables
 remotely, or import them from a local installation.

 1. Beginners guide to Coldfusion Application Development (Pretty much the 
 first half of the CFWACK)
 2. Intermediate guide to Coldfusion Application Development (Down and dirty 
 with lists, cfc's, functions, cfscript and more)
 3. Advanced Macromedia Coldfusion Development (Just like it currently is)

 Personally and like most I would only be buying the intermediate and advanced 
 books and would get more bang for my buck. The intermediate guide could be 
 the BIG book with a more in-depth read on the things we use most like 
 lists, cfc's, functions and the list goes on.

Re: Code Question

2006-11-15 Thread Wayne Putterill
Some good points there about having to adapt to any new tool, I tried
a few times to change to using CFEclipse and failed because I was
trying to make it work exactly the way I was used to working. Once I
had got it into my head that I would have to adapt slightly and adopt
the project model of working everything started to make a lot more
sense.

I think that if  there was one thing you could do to make CFEclipse
easier to change to it would be an idiots guide to the CFeclipse way
of working - with lots of pictures and not too many long words :)

Good presentation at CFDevcon by the way, I was with three colleagues
that had never seen CFEclipse before and they were all raving about it
after.

On 14/11/06, Mark Drew [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I guess with any *new* thing there is a learning curve, and people
 showing you how to use it always helps.

 I am thinking of running some session on CFEclipse, mainly if people
 are interested on how to convert to it...

 FYI: if you dont like working with projects, we went to all the
 trouble and effort to put a File Explorer that works like homeSite so
 no excuse there.

 At my presentation at CFDevCon, I asked a question that sometimes
 when I read this list I have to remind myself, Who wouldn't use
 CFEclipse even if I PAID them?. There are people that are not going
 to change whatever we do to make your coding life easier.

 Even if it got to the stage of Just talk to CFEclipse, it will
 listen and nod, then go and write your application for you whilst you
 have coffee (using YOUR crazy coding habits) there would still be
 people out there going But I like homesite... it didnt LISTEN to
 me... I LIKED that!.

   Its just the way some people are used to their tools. Personally I
 am pretty adaptable (oh, in textMate the Ctrl + Shift + L inserts a
 link? cool.. must remember that, rather than emailing the person and
 saying to change the dammed shortcut y'hear, or I WONT use your FREE
 product.. so nyer!) so I like learning new tools, seeing what they
 can do and then using the right tool for the job.

 The benefits of CFEclipse projects are that once you have all your
 files grouped into projects you can do fast searches for a file, or
 in a file (thats in a selection, in a project, or in the whole dammed
 workbench, or even just in one of your selection sets!) pretty
 easily... just because the gui isn't what you expected (dammit, you
 CHANGED tools what do you expect???), adapt.

 Anyway.. wasn't meant to be a rant... and please dont take it as
 so... (read it with the tongue in the cheek that it was written in)

 Taking this on board I have registered such a group with Adobe.

 My initial idea is to rotate meetings through Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool

I've just sent you a custom tag  documentation off list, hope it's useful.

 I need to fill a secondary and tertiary select box depending on the
 condition of a primary one.

 For example the first will have the options...

 -- SELECT --
 Ford

 The second and third will have -- Please select previous cat --  or
 something similar and nothing else.

 With an onChange() on the first this should populate the second select
 with...

 -- SELECT --
 Ka
 Fiesta
 Focus

 If ford is selected from the fist box and leave the third unchanged.  The
 third should then change to...

 -- SELECT --
 2 door
 4 door

 For example, once the second box is changed.

 Ideally I want all of the data sent to the browser on the initial page load
 (IE: no ajax or other multiple request method), probably into an array but
 any implementation is fine.  The actual data in the boxes will come from a
 DB query so the JS must be suitable for dynamic construction.

 Anyone have any suitable script handy?

Re: ANN: New CFFormProtect release

2006-10-31 Thread Wayne Putterill
Possible varient - just display three images and then ask people to
click on them in order, for example Click on the dog, then the cat,
then the bird.

To increase the number of varients  security you could allow images
to be clicked more than once Click the cat, then the cat, then the
dog.

 CFFormProtect is an alternative Captcha implementation that tries to be
 more user friendly than the obfuscated text images.  In short, the user
 is asked to select the correct image out of a set.  No difficult to read
 text, just click the correct images.

 Check out the features, and download the project at Riaforge:
 http://cfformprotect.riaforge.org/

 Try a demo here:
 http://www.techfeed.net/cffpdemo/

 The feedback I got on my first release of CFFormProtect was great, and
 the biggest concern was that bots could successfully guess the correct
 image with a 1 in 3 probability (33%).  CFFormProtect now only has a
 6.6% chance of being broken.  I did this by displaying the three images
 twice, in random order.  You have to correctly click on two of the six
 displayed images, and if you are incorrect you get a new random set,
 with a new correct answer.

 The goal with CFFormProtect is to make form validation brain dead easy
 for users, but very difficult for spam bots.

 Planned for the next release:
 1.  Improve image loading speed (I already know how I'm going to do
 this)
 2.  Set a failure limit; after x strikes, your out
 3.  Display 9 images instead of 6, to increase security (this would be a
 setting, so if you think 6 is enough you can easily change it)

 Please give me feedback, and feel free to submit patches if you wanna
 fix something.  :)

 Right, the fontDetails argument that you pass to the addText() method
 takes a filename which can be a full path to anywhere you put the font file.

 Keep in mind that uploading a font from your windows font directory
 might not be legal =)

 Of course, you can also find fonts installed in the the JRE for coldfusion.

problem.

I then found out that the existing site is on a shared server though

is, can you upload fonts locally and just point the tag at them?

On 26/09/06, David Livingston [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 ColdSpring added.
 Coldfusion on Windows added.

 H a USP (unique selling proposition).

 So, there are lots of free places to blog on the web and Ray Camden
 plus a few others give their software away for free so you can host
 it on your own server.  In short this is not meant to make you move
 from anything else. I offer it up as a way to help build the
 coldfusion community and make sharing all the great blog knowledge
 out there easier. Below is how we aim to accomplish that.

 Categories:
 We built it with the concept of community at the top of our list.
 With that being said it is your blog posts that drive the content in
 the site. When you are adding an entry you have a choice between two
 types of categories. Posts to Global categories show up on the main
 site and will be seen by all people whether they have visited your
 blog or not. You can also subscribe to the RSS feed for that category
 and show all of the posts that are being made in their RSS reader.
 Also you can create your own personal categories to post into that
 will only show up on your blog.

 Search:
 The search box on the main page will let you search through everyones
 blogs to see what people are saying on that topic. You can then
 subscribe to an RSS feed that will keep you updated as new posts
 match your criteria. There is also a search box on your main page
 that will only search through your personal blog.

 Featured:
 When we find a blogger that has very compelling content or is talking
 about something that is very interesting we will make them a featured
 blogger. Now I know what youre thinking. Why do they get to choose
 what is interesting or compelling? Well keep reading becasue we have
 two more sections to address that.

 Popular Blogs:
 This is where we track what blogs are getting the most attention and
 make them more available to you.

 Most Commented Posts:
 This one is pretty straight forward. The posts that are receiving the
 most comments show up here.

 Multiple Languages:
 The Coldfusion community is a very Global group even in the core of
 it is focused in the US. For that purpose we have the ability to
 support as many languages as possible. We currently have English and
 Spanish, and will be adding French and Italian in the very near future.

 So I am not necessarily trying to sell cfblog itself to anyone. It
 actually costs me money to host, support and run it. It is my way to
 give back to the CF community. Just like houseoffusion and several
 other great CF resources that are out there.
 I also won't pretend that I don't hope after seeing it everyone will
 think up projects they would like to do with BlogFusion v 5 and want
 to purchase it when it is released. But that truly is not my main aim
 with cfblog.com. I think once the software is released it will stand
 on it's own two feet very nicely.

 Thanks,
 Dave

Re: Seeking Advice on U.K. version of our U.S. website

2006-09-25 Thread Wayne Putterill
My initial thought would be to get a decent independent CF contractor
who can handle arranging the hosting, transfer of existing code and
implementation of an appropriate cart. The problem is that there are
not that many development companies/contractors in the UK still using
CF, and very few hosts with CF experience. If there is anyone
available chances are that they will be at the UK CF conference in
november - http://www.cfdevcon.com/.

I wish I had more time on my hands at the moment, this is right up my street :)

 Big Mad Kev,
 I understand your idea - even through the flu-induced haze.  Hope your 
 feeling better.

 Thing is like Jochem pointed out we want the shopping cart/e-commerce side to 
 be taken care of by the U.K. office.  In other words, they will be doing the 
 fulfillment, not the U.S. so it's important to them to be able to interact 
 with order system and make appropriate tax and shipping cost adjustments via 
 their own shopping cart.  It's a pity that we don't have an Oracle programmer 
 on staff so we could figure out how to use our iStore shopping cart with the 
 foreign currencies but at this point we are having so much trouble with the 
 Oracle solution that we can't risk combining our U.S. e-commerce solution 
 with the U.K. one.

 What I need really is a host service that will take our code as-is and only 
 make modifications necessary to make it compatible with a shopping cart.  The 
 feeling within our company is that even though the U.K. site should look 
 exactly the same as the U.S. site the e-commerce side must be completely 
 separate.

 This would, after 60 seconds, create an image and then try to set it's
 source to a CFM page. This would in essence call that CFM page. The image
 would break (or you could return a gif based on CFContent). The
 reward_user.cfm page would reward the user based on the user id (id), the
 article id (article_id) and a key (the HASH value). The HASH value is
 meant
 to help stop anyone else from guessing a reward URL. Then on the

 Subject: CFIdea: how to implement

 I have a CFidea and I wanted to seek advice on the best way to implement
 it.
 I'm concerned that this idea will be taxing on my shared web hosting
 server.

 After buildinig sites for employors and contracts, I've finally built a
 site
 for myself.
 My site is a news and downloadable magazine (which I sell for $9.95/yr)

 THE IDEA
 On my site(s), I posts related stories from within my industry. I want to
 reward my readers and build loyalty. I want to reward my readers for each
 story they read with X point(s).  As long as they stay on the page for
 more
 than 10-15 (?) seconds they will be rewarded. I want to track this to
 avoid
 users from just clicking through stories to get points.  Once they
 accumulate x number of points, they will receive one of the four issues
 for
 free. If they collect enough points, they can get an entire year for free
 and earn additional issues beyond their first year or give their points to
 friends or co-workers. When visitors reads stories from my site, my google
 ads are displayed which makes me money. I also want to convey to potential
 advertisers that our we reward our reader base.  No other news site within
 this industry does this.

 THE CODE
 The reader signs up by providing only their e-mail address and confirm
 their
 e-mail address through an automated reply from my site with a confirmation
 link they must click on.
 As an option if they want to earn reward points, I ask them to sign in
 with
 just their e-mail address to initiate and track their points, then get the
 current time with #CreateODBCDateTime(now())# and store it as a session
 variable. When they click and go to another page on the site, even if it's
 not a story, capture the #CreateODBCDateTime(now())# again and compare the
 times and update their profile with X point(s) if the time difference
 meets
 my x seconds per page criteria. If someone just rapidly clicks from story
 to
 story to accumalate points, the points will not be counted. If they like
 the
 site and decide to become a loyal reader, then they will receive these
 additonal benefits and be rewarded for their loyalty.

 Thoughts on the coding approach?

 Thanks in advance.

 D-

   I'm modifying blogCFC to replace it's forms with flash forms. I'm also
   adding in a security stamp to make sure that the form post is from the
  site
   page. The concept here is that a flash form is a flash movie where the
  user
   has no clue what form fields are being used, what data is hidden in
 the
  form
   or just about anything else. Yes, it may be slightly slower (flash
 player
  9
   will greatly help that) but to skip the annoyance of form spam is
 worth
  it.
   You can see an example of it on www.blogoffusion.com when you try to
 post
  a
   trackback. Works like a charm. I'm adding the same to comments and
  subscribe

   Bottom line is that flash forms beats form spam.
  
Several of my forms are being filled out with spam from levitra

Re: RFC on my tentative database schema for a restaurant menu database

2006-06-09 Thread Wayne Putterill
Allowing for menu items to be marked as Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Low Fat
etc. could be very useful

 Hi All,

 Somewhat OT but there are a bunch of very intelligent people here whose
 opinions I value.  The database will initially be MS SQL Server but I also
 plan to eventually support MS Access and MySQL.  The front end WILL be in
 CF

 I need to add an online menu to a web site that I'm building for a
 restaurant.  Having more experience in content management and CRM style
 apps, I want to make sure that I don't miss anything obvious.  I'm also
 not
 a DBA -- I have a good mind for organization, but I have little formal
 training in database design.  So far, here's what I've got:

 *tblMenu* -- Names the menus and determines whether they are actively
 displayed or not
 id (int,PK)
 menuName (varchar,100, not null)
 menuDescription (varchar,2000)
 content (text) -- in case there is a need to provide a simpler,
 content-management based menu
 active (bit)

 *tblMenuCategories* -- Categories for menu, i.e. Appetizers, Main Courses,
 Brunch, etc.
 id (int,PK)
 parentCategoryID (int)
 categoryName (varchar,100, not null)
 categoryDescription (varchar,2000)
 displayorder (int)

 *tblMenuItems*
 id (int,PK)
 itemName (varchar,100, not null)
 itemDescription (varchar,4000)
 itemNote (varchar,1000) -- visible only to administrators
 updated (smalldatetime, getdate())
 price (smallmoney)
 unit (varchar, 100) -- i.e. dozen, small, half-cup, I could have another
 table for this but think that is probably overkill
 active (bit)

 *tblMenuItemCategories* -- i.e. chef's special, heart-healthy, etc.
 id (int, PK)
 categoryName (varchar,100, not null)

 *tblMenuItemCategoryLookup*-- allows a single itemt o have multiple
 categories (i.e. something can be the special of the day AND
 heart-healthy)
 menuItemID (int, FK tblMenuItems.ID)
 menuItemCategoryID (int, FK tblMenuItemCategories.ID)

 *tblMenuLookup* -- This is what actually builds the menu
 menuID (int, FK tblMenu.ID)
 menuCategoryID (int, FK tblMenuCategories.ID)
 menuItemID (int, FK tblMenuItems.ID) displayOrder (int) -- this orders the
 specific menu item
 active (bit) -- allows administrators to pull an item from the menu

 Can anyone with experience in writing an online restaurant menu
 application
 lend any further advice or shoot me a copy of your database schema so I
 can
 see if I'm missing anything obvious?  This is NOT meant to be the be-all,
 end-all of online restaurant menus, I just need it to do the job for a
 variety of small to mid-sized clients, and I want to get it right the
 first
 time since obviously having to rewrite it later would mean a lot of work
 for
 my clients as well.

 Thanks!

 A full version of studio is $800.  A full version of Adobe creative suite is
 $1200.  Upgrades of course are much less expensive.

 People are already working on alternatives using primalScript and ANT.  For
 me, I have already set aside my $1000.  Adobe's will be the best for sure
 and will be the only one with a visual design component similar to

 Most design software, whether it's for web design, as in
 Dreamweaver, photo manipulation, as in Photoshop,

 of it not anywhere near $1000 unless you get everything
 in a bundle.

 Perhaps I'm just showing my ignorance about the Flex IDE,
 but with it priced so high (I don't, at this point, see how it could
 possibly be worth that much money), it's wide open for
 a company with hungrier developers to come in and sell
 something for half that and take a lot of business from Adobe

 Yes, that's all it is. However, it's one hell of a plugin.

 The problem that a lot of people seem to have when looking at software
 pricing is that they expect it to match the complexity or size of the
 application in question. This is silly. The value of a piece of software -
 like anything else - isn't derived from how big it is, or how complicated it
 is, but whether it saves you money that you'd otherwise spend doing things
 some other way.

I do still think it's a bit of a cheek to charge the equivalent of a
full app suite (or a new PC for that matter) for a plugin - no matter
how wonderful it is. As to whether it would save me time/money thats a
moot point.  Flex 2 is not the only option out there, and wearing
either of my hats (as an independent developer or as a member of a
large dev team working for a not for profit) $1000 is a lot to spend
per seat - especially as we would probably need the server as well.

 If you're interested in building Flex 2 applications - and I strongly
 encourage everyone to take a good look at Flex 2 - you can build them with
 your favorite text editor, or you can use FlexBuilder. Having worked with
 FlexBuilder myself, I'd buy it in a minute - it makes building Flex 2
 applications so much simpler, that you'll recoup your labor costs in a week.

I am interested in Flex2, I am also interested in Ajax and several
other options - money will be a big part of any decisions made. To set
up 2 servers and 12 developers to use Flex might be a very significant
outlay.

Re: storing query results while paging through

As a side note to this, what are the options for paging with regards
to Ajax or Flash these days? I'm just wondering if there is something
out there that I should be considering for future use.

On 1/23/06, George Abraham [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 All,
 I don't use session variables at all, but this might a good time to use
 them.

 I have a search page that takes in a search term, runs a query and then
 displays the results. The user is allowed to click into a result and then
 page through the search resultset while in a result (via Previous/Next
 controls). Since I don't store the query results anywhere, I basically run
 that query every single time that the user presses Previous or Next (just so
 that I can find out where the user is while s/he is paging through and what
 the previous and next results are.) For an intensive search (which this is
 turning out to be), this means every time that the user does anything with
 the resultset, I am running a 4 or 5 second operation. Highly inefficient, I
 suspect.

 How do I cache the query results? Is a session variable the best option? I
 guess cookies would not be bad, but they are limited in the amount they can
 hold. How do people tackle this problem anyway?

 Thanks,
 George

To be fair, when 7 was launched that was the impression we were given

investment to learn.

 I am now about to start a fairly complex forms project, and am wondering if I 
 should give Flash Forms another shot, or if the general consensus is to stick

 What is your thought process? If the form requires x,y and z go with Flash,

 Speed is not overly important. It is an intranet with strictly IE users.

 2. The calendar popup should have a way to quickly change the year rather
 than scrolling through the months (I know there are hacks for this, but it
 should be built in), and have a way to insert NO date.  Currently if you
 have a date already selected, there is no way to clear it out.
 3. File upload capability (I know there are hacks for this as well)
 4. Get rid of the 64k limit/error
 5. Ability to script new objects (currently the New keyword is not
 allowed)
 6. CFGRID does not recognize a new row when it is inserted/created
 programmatically
 7. Again, layout and page load time is a major pain in the butt, especially
 when dealing with dynamic forms that currently have to be compiles EVERY
 time.

 I realize some of these may be bugs and not features, but their existence
 made us dump our flash form development altogether.

 Thanks for asking Tim,

 I'd like to see flash forms add to but NOT TAKE AWAY from html forms.
 Therefore, everything an HTML form does, ought to happen in flash forms.
 For example,  make them respond to the mouse wheel.  Make drop down menus
 drop down with a press of the down arrow key. etc.  So people who are used
 to filling in forms in html find the flash forms behave in the same way ,but
 also add some cool new features, such as the calendar popup, and the
 validation with highlighting etc.

 As it is now, if you use flash forms, you can use the terrific calendar
 popup, and the cool way the field holding the current focus is highlighted
 etc  but you lose other stuff.

 Accessibility and standards compliance is a major issue and growing in
 importance, specially on government and QANGO sites, so it would be good to
 have flash forms fully compliant with the accessibility standards.

 Also the biggest negative to flash forms is the time to load.  I had one I
 thought was pretty cool, with a lot of neat things on it, but the client
 said it didnt work.  When I investigated some more, it turned out he was
 using a dialup connection and hadn't waited long enough for the loading
 graphic to appear even, let alone the whole form.  I'm busy changing the
 form now to a XML format one, based on the example in CFFORMS.com.

 I really like the following aspects:

 [A] you're making the CFFORM concept work.   In CF5 it looked terrific in
 the specs, but failed to deliver the goods.  It now looks like we're pretty
 close to the goods.
 [B]  The ease of use for coders is terrific.  I have written a codegenerator
 that creates basic forms off a datasource table, and then I tweak from
 there.   Far less time spent writing validation scripts etc.
 [C] I love the simple way you can make wizard-style forms and concertina
 styles.

 Merry Christmas!!

Sounds like a good idea, I can see a real use for these forms - the

etc. really did make for a much better presentation of the interface.

On a side issue, I wonder if Adobe will ever combine flex and cf into
the same product - now that could be a killer RAD system, especially
if Dreamweaver was updated to be the development environment.

 doesn't get around the rather longish load times though... but it would make

Re: CF Tips... was CF smart

2005-09-30 Thread Wayne Putterill
How about just requiring the subject to begin with TIP, any replies
would have Re: at the beginning and would be ignored. Doesn't help
with updates though.

On 9/29/05, Michael Dinowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Requiring them to be on their own line might be nice, but when writing this
 I have to assume that something will get in the way and people will be upset
 that their tip was 'missed'. As for a rewrite to add in the DB id of the
 tip, that's a possibility but involves stronger 'coupling' with the DB. The
 tip method would have to parse the tip out, save it, get the id and then
 rewrite the body. More steps with more waiting for the DB for an ID. Let me
 think of the best way to do this. I like the id though.

  How about requiring that tip and /tip be on lines by themselves?
  Or at least that tip has to be at the beginning on a line.  Then you
  wouldn't have to worry about commented tips, and you probably should
  ignore them anyway, because the original message would have gotten the
  tip parsed out already.
 
  Also, how about rewriting the tip tag with an id attribute when you
  process it.  Then if you find the tip again with a matching ID, you
  can check the contents against the DB and either ignore or update,
  rather than inserting again.  That'd be helpful for typo correction
  and/or evolving examples.

Is there a free forum for CF/Oracle?

2005-09-12 Thread Wayne Putterill
Does anyone know of a free CF forum that uses Oracle as the DB? 

The ability to attach files to posts would be nice, as would code
colouring, but anything reasonable would do as it's for internal use
(allowing a team of developers to pass code snippets and hints etc.
around).

There is no budget (time or money) and we only have Oracle on the
server it will be on, so it's a bit of a tall order I know. I suppose
something like a blog or even a document store might do the trick -
basically I'm open to suggestions!

Re: cfforms flash character encoding

2005-07-19 Thread Wayne Putterill
Fixed now by using #CHR(163)# in the code, but I was getting strange
characters instead of pound signs when generating flash with cfform, I
was using Dreamweaver and it didn't make any difference what encoding
was on the pages.

I had something which I think is probably related where I couldn't get
dates to display in euro format - it's beginning to look to me like
flash cfforms have real problems with localisation.

 what do you mean by get a flash form to use pound signs? what exactly
 is happening? are you getting ? or boxes? or something else? what OS
 on the dev end? what OS on the production box? what encoding did you use
 to create those pages? what tool?

Euro date format in flash forms

2005-07-03 Thread Wayne Putterill
I can't work out why dates in flash cfforms I am developing are in US
format, i.e. month/day/year instead of UK format i.e. day/month/year.
My locale seems to be correct and using setlocale makes no difference.

Have I missed something in the documentation? This seems to happen
when using the calender and the date picker, surely it's not a bug -
it's a major howler if it is?

Re: Euro date format in flash forms

2005-07-03 Thread Wayne Putterill
Just to make sure I didn't have anything else causing problems and
that the locale is the UK, I just tried this code in an otherwise
empty page with no application.cfm etc. on two different servers (both
in the UK):

cfset SetLocale(English (UK))
cfoutput#GetLocale()#/cfoutput
cfform method=get name=householdinsurance format=flash
cfinput type=datefield name=somedate width=100
/cfform

Same result, the date is in US format even though the locale is
reported as the UK.

DOB with flash forms?

2005-06-21 Thread Wayne Putterill
How would you get a user to input their date of birth when using a flash form?

Cfinput with a type of datefield would seem obvious but how could you
select the year without clicking back through the months?

In a normal form I would just use drop downs for the day, month and
year with some javascript to check for invalid dates, but that seems
to be out when using flash.

Any suggestions?

Re: CF vs LAMP

2005-06-02 Thread Wayne Putterill
I had to throw this in:

One of IBM's senior venture capital investment authorities is
encouraging software start-ups to follow the money, and back the LAMP
open source stack.

According to Drew Clark, director of strategic insights for IBM's
venture capital group, building software using Linux, Apache, MySQL
and Perl/PHP/Python (LAMP) is one of the key requisites for VC
investment today
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/05/30/vcs_warm_to_lamp/

I'm a huge fan of CF, but in the UK CF jobs are becoming rarer than
hens teeth while PHP is going from strength to strength. It depresses
me, but I think CF is becoming increasingly seen as a specialist high
end solution due to the way Macromedia are now going for the
enterprise market almost exclusively.

The danger is that the various components of LAMP are just getting
better and better, the pool of developers is growing in size and
quality, and large public and private organisations are seriously
considering and implementing LAMP projects,  where that will leave CF
in 5 years I just don't know :(

I have an interview tomorrow for an organisation that uses CF, I
really hope I get the job as it's the first local CF position I have
seen for months and I hate to think when the next one may come up.

In a small way, I have set up an old PC as a linux server and played
around with that, the last three sites I did in CF have been hosted on
Linux and used MySql, I have also used some PHP packages and modified
them to some extent. I know I am going to have to sit down and really
learn PHP at some point if I want my skill set to remain marketable,
but I am finding it difficult (emotionally!) to move away from CF.

2005-05-17 Thread Wayne Putterill
I'm trying to pull information from a legacy system using cfhttp, but
I have run into a problem with one page which is called using forms on
another page. The structure of the forms are like this:

FORM NAME=1234 METHOD=POST ACTION=product.php
INPUT TYPE=IMAGE SRC=images/product.jpg NAME=1234
INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=ID VALUE=1916
/FORM

and the code I'm using is basically this:

cftry
cfhttp 
url=http://www.some company.co.uk/product.php method=post 
resolveurl=yes 
throwonerror=yes charset=iso-8859-1
cfhttpparam name=ID type=FormField value=1234
/cfhttp
cfcatch type=Any
cfset productinfo = Unavailable
/cfcatch
/cftry

Well as you may have guesses by now it's not working, I'm wondering if
I need to pass the form name as well but I can't work out how to do it
- can anyone help!

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

 I can't say that this is the problem, but your CFHTTP code is not passing
 any values from the Image form field.  Image form elements act as pseudo
 Submit buttons except that, instead of just passing back a single value (the
 value of the Submit button), they pass back the (x,y) coordinates of the
 location on the image that the user clicked.  Try adding the following 2
 lines of code between your CFHTTP tags:
 
 cfhttpparam name=1234.x type=FormField value=0
 cfhttpparam name=1234.y type=FormField value=0
 
 These will let the product.php page know that the user clicked on the image
 at coordinates (0,0).  Note that the name for each is 1234.x and 1234.y.
 The 1234 part is because that is the name assigned to the Image in the
 form.  the .x and .y indicate the associated value's axis.

 All,
 
 I recently was testing an application that I'm building and noticed that
 suddenly one of my queries was truncating one of my #variable# outputs.
 I'm using Access while I test, and things have been fine up until now.
 
 On the admin tool, things are saving and displaying correctly, but when
 the trying to output it on the user side, it's truncating at or around
 255 characters.
 
 Any idea what might be going on or how to resolve it?
 
 Thanks!

Re: Got an opinion on MM Contribute?

2003-01-07 Thread Wayne Putterill
To be fair, I don't think he is the only one who's missing something, I have
been looking at Contribute with a puzzled expression since I heard about it.

From following this discussion it seems like its for:

Companies who regularly need to make changes to their site but won't go to a
CMS or cheap DB driven site, and have users who they trust to add unapproved
content to the site, but don't trust to leave non-content areas of a page
alone.

Does that sum it up?

  Users can do that with a free application such as Netscape
  Composer and many other HTML editors, also free.
 
  I could not imagine making my clients purchase an editor
  which would require me to give them a permission key from
  DreamweaverMX, when I can do that simple via folder permissions..
 
  Maybe I am missing something here.

 I think you are missing something, if you don't mind me saying so.

 If you're working with a static site, and you want non-technical people to
 contribute content to that site, Contribute allows you to do that much
 easier than any other (free or not-free) HTML editor.

 Typically, you don't want non-technical content contributors dealing with
 HTML formatting any more than necessary, and you want them to place their
 content within a site format that you've already created. By creating
 templates in Dreamweaver, you can control the layout of specific pages
 created or edited in Contribute. This is quite a bit different than simply
 limiting what a user can do in a folder - instead, you're limiting users
to
 publishing using an existing approved format.

 For this use, I don't think there's anything comparable to Contribute out
 there, at any price point. This makes the $99 per seat cost look very
small
 to me. My biggest reservation about Contribute is that I'm not keen on the
 idea of a static HTML site - I'd much rather see content stored within a
 database. But, if an organization isn't ready to implement a real,
 database-driven CMS, and will be using a static HTML site, I'd strongly
 recommend looking at a Contribute/Dreamweaver solution - site designers
 would use Dreamweaver to create and edit templates, and content
contributers
 would use Contribute.

Membership system?

2002-11-26 Thread Wayne Putterill
Hi, does anyone know of a free CF application to register members and
let them fill in info about themselves? Info needs to be photo, email,
etc. Ideally there would be a search facility to find members as well.
Basically it's a contact database I suppose.

I have had a look through the developers exchange but only found
commercial stuff, and as this is something I'm doing as a favour for a
club there is zero budget, I'd do it myself but I'm snowed under with
work at the moment and they want it fast.

Thanks in advance!

RE: OT? Macromedia Contribute, is it Content Management or not?

2002-11-11 Thread Wayne Putterill
It does seem to be a very odd product, I can't really see what the
market is for it. 

I can't see it being used on large sites (probably already CMS), and I
think we all know how easy it is to put together a dynamic site with an
admin area. 

Also what's the benefit of paying per seat for this and then being tied
to a particular computer, when a dynamic or CMS site can be accessed via
browser from anywhere by however many people you want?

   Neil,
   Actually, it can work with dynamic pages, but the end-user can't
 modify
  the
   dynamic code. In other words, you can have a DW template that
 includes
  CF
   widgets, and the inexperienced user won't be able to muck with
 that,
  but
   would be able to muck with the other parts of the page 
 that are not

 It was described to me as (by Macromedia Sales People) at a

For some reason, the first thing I thought of when I read that, was
Dilbert...


 Seems 
 dreamweaver was too complex for people who just want to put 
 some stuff on a site.  (Btw, I was never under NDA, so I can say this)
 
 I don't think there is any way to market this as a content 
 management system.  More like a Edit your own damn text, the 
 programmer has coding to do type of system.

Yup, I can see a manager accepting that from a code jockey ;)

Good luck to them with this, but I have a suspicion we may never see a

 Hmmm, I dont know your background, but I happen to be a graduate in

 shocking - not simply because you just sounded like a complete rogue
 (and
 idiot) but in what way caa you either suggest a better solution to
 your
 pursuits and can you even mention or comment on you own governments
 doings,
 or even how they work at all?  The US system of goverment, in the 
way
 it
 work anyhow, is one of the best functioning with different levels of
 government sharing power.

 Now for your spout.

 Death row is not something you can comment on as you have and never
 will
 experience of it in the UK.

Wrong - we had the death penalty for many, many years.

I would have thought that any British person would have been well 
aware of
that.

 If you committ a crime then you deserver
 punishment.  Think of how much money the state has saved with
 removing the
 burded of holding a prisoner for 10 years or so simply look at 
our
 erm... well established prison service.

You should look up the cost of executing someone before spouting that 
bilge.

From http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/costs2.html
a.. The most comprehensive study in the country found that the death 
penalty
costs North Carolina $2.16 million per execution over the costs of a
non-death penalty murder case with a sentence of imprisonment for 
life (Duke
University, May 1993.) On a national basis, these figures translate 
to an
extra cost of over $1 billion dollars spent since 1976 on the death 
penalty.
a.. The death penalty costs California $90 million annually beyond the
ordinary costs of the justice system - $78 million of that total in 
incurred
at the trial level (Sacramento Bee, March 18, 1988).
a.. Florida spent an estimated $57 million on the death penalty from 
1973 to
1988 to achieve 18 executions - that is an average of $3.2 million per
execution. (Miami Herald, July 10, 1988).
In Texas, a death penalty case costs an average of $2.3 million, 
about three
times the cost of imprisoning someone in a single cell at the highest
security level for 40 years. (Dallas Morning News, March 8, 1992).


 Global Warming is neither here nor there.  People who drive cars,
 smoke, and
 industrial revolution (which got you technologically here today) are
 the
 main culprits of Global Warming

What the hell do you think the Kyoto agreement was aimed at doing?

 so get off your high horse and dont
 think
 that just because the US is a world hegemony that it can solve the
 problem

Nobody wants the US to solve the problem on its own, just to join 
with the
other countries in sorting the problem out.

 there isn't one.  The planet is dying and thats a fact -
 it was
 always dying - it is old you know.

Actually it's quite young in planetary terms, but nice ostrich
impersonation - there isn't a problem with global warming? I see you 
are as
well informed on this as you are about anything else you mention.

 The middle east - well that is their concern, only they can solve it
 - the
 fact you think that any worlfd power can solve the problem of
 RELIGION is
 way beyond me.  When you have RELIGION you have conflict, throw in
 guns and
 you have war and death - simple solution - do away or shelve/hide 
your
 religion and you have peace.

Outstanding lack of knowledge displayed about international politics 
there,
are you sure about that degree?

 Oh - and the BRITISH EMPIRE is probably the biggest contributing
 factor to
 not only middle east but Asian (India/Pakistan) problems.

The British empire has been history for a very long time, I fail to 
see how
it affects the situation in Israel for example.

 As for protecting their nation state erm.. that is basic IR - if we
 didnt
 protect out nation states then where would we be? I am not saying
 that by
 Stockpiling arms (something which the US or any other nation state 
is
 knowingly doing)!   The latter stages of the so-called Cold War 
was
 one of
 the most stable times in the world with Zero Sum scenarios.

Very muddled thinking there, the agreements that were reached in the 
final
decade or so of the cold war did produce real results, Bush and his 
son of
star wars dick waving is threatening that situation and opening up 
the real
possibility of another arms race.

 Get your facts straight and formulate an argument before you start
 spouting
 off about political assasinations (I still can't believe how stupid
 the
 subject line sounds).  Realise that we in the UK aint saints 

Accessing outlook/exchange folders?

2001-07-10 Thread Wayne Putterill

A client has asked if CF can access public folders in Outlook, word and

I have little experience of Outlook and Exchange so I am stumped on this, I

Re: Feedback to Jeff Whatcott - Macromedia

2001-04-30 Thread Wayne Putterill

 My point is that there are many out there who are in my position, even
 more who WILL be in my position once Macromedia does a good job of
 promoting CF with their other products.  Macromedia and CF are at a real
 cross-roads.  I am bullish as can be on the merger.  Macromedia crushed
 the competition in the web development tool market.  MS isn't even in
 the running, not in the same universe.  Anyone with any creative mind
 can see the huge opportunities for Macromedia to make CF a common
 standard for the general web development community, the quick
 integration of CF into other tools.

Well said, I really do think that CF could gain immensely from Macromedia,
its one of the reasons I got so upset over the weekend.

On the subject of which, if any of my posts were amongst those which
contained bad language I do apologise. I haven't checked but it occurs to me
that I was seeing red a little and may have let something slip out.

 The Server Hosting license is a 20% price increase for hosting. If you are
 unlucky enough to host on a quad processor Compaq box, the cost for a
 license just went up a whopping 140%. This is not what we needed.

It is very bad news and a remarkabley stupid move on their part, I really
don't think the British hosting companies are going to go for that sort of
price hike so - it may be time for me to leave CF...

 There is now an official definition of the Cold Fusion 5.0 Hosting Service
 Provider edition available at:
 http://www.allaire.com/products/coldfusion/cf5hostingfaq.html.  It was
 posted on one of the other lists I'm on and I'm suprised it didn't make it
 here.

 I'm glad I waited to chime in... this is actually looking to me to read
like
 an improvement rather than a money grab.  Anything to improve the
 reliability out of the box for any of the hosting providers is a big
plus.
 I've dealt with two, one that didn't care beyond the collections
department
 and another that bent over backwards to help.  In both instances the
server
 hit periods of problematic operation.  Now I'm hoping this version will
 stabilize things a bit.

 True, but also sounds like less CF work for people like me.  The people
that
 I do small sites for, already do not want to pay a premium for CF and
 if/when the pricing goes up they will not pay  for it period.  Just means
I
 get to code their sites in something else, personally I would prefer not
to,
 but I also want to bring in a pay check.

 I doubt my day job is going to get rid of CF, however if they have to pay
a
 great deal more for the licensing I could easily see them just staying
with
 the current version of CF that they are running on all of their servers
and
 then slowly getting sites redone in ASP since we already do ASP there.

Thats the big problem now, I have been happy to use CF for the past three
years in building small sites as I believed it had a real future ahead of
it. It seems that MM are abandoning the small developer in favour of chasing
the enterprise market - my customers are never going to be able to justify
that sort of expense on a server. So the next contract I get I will have to
think about using ASP, or more likely PHP, simply because they seem to have
a future in the markets I deal in.

Maybe we should organise a symbolic demonstration to show MM our feelings on
this matter - perhaps if nobody posts to the list for a day they may wake up
and realise what they are doing.

 It sounds like MM is going to throw the CF community a bone and then stick
 us in the pound. They kill Spectra, restructure licensing, float our
 pallets, and make us develop with a Studio / UltraDev hybrid. All this
comes
 from the boardroom, not a developer wish list.

 Former Drumbeat developers still don't have a comparable solution in
 UltraDev.

 You have to remember, MM wants to make money, not necessarily provide a
 better development environment for us. This can be achieved by bringing CF
 down to the point a general HTML developer can create a viable
application.

But the cost of hosting those applications will make CF an unlikely choice.
I would say the majority of CF development work is actually done on small
sites running on shared servers. I have worked on dozens of such sites and I
know of one problem that I always have to get over - the customer
complaining about hosting costs, even when it's only £40 or so per month.

I welcomed the Spectra announcement, it was obvious that something had to be
done as it was way too expensive to be used on most sites, unfortunately it
now looks like CF may become another product like Generator - very nice but
out of most companies price range.

Not a bad idea, they could even keep Enterprise as a paid for premium

 Without going into exact details let me say that we, the CF developers who
 either own a box or rent one (not shared) have nothing to worry about. Put
 down that PHP book now!
 Even those on a shared server shouldn't worry overly.

Is it just me that had shudders down the spine at the overly bit...

Sorry, but any increase on price is a very, very bad move on their part,
there must be thusands of developers like me that rely on shared servers for

 Subject: New CF5 Partner Hosting License


 Allaire's Partners just received an email announcing ColdFusion Server 5
 Hosting Service Provider Edition, which
 consists of a new End-User License for commercial hosting service
 providers.

 The gist of it is that Hosting Providers will now be charged extra for the
 privilege of running multiple CF sites
 on a shared server.  As far as I can tell, all the new features of CF5
will
 be in the Enterprise edition, so the
 only difference between Enterprise and Hosting is that the latter will
cost
 more.  Some value.

 I sent Allaire an email registering my strong disapproval of this new
 hosting partner penalty fee, pointing out
 that GoTech is already subjected to marketplace pressures due to the free
 nature of Microsoft's Active Server Page
 (ASP) technology, and Allaire/Macromedia's continual ratcheting up of
 ColdFusion's price is potentially
 debilitating to our efforts to deploy your product.  Perhaps they see
their
 only competition in the
 BEA/WebLogic/IBM/Oracle application server space.  This may be the case
for
 Enterprise, but there's no way this is
 the case with hosting providers.  We're competing in the trenches with
ASP,
 which is free on NT/2000, and at some
 point the benefits of the CF environment will be outweighed by its cost...

 Maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions, and this is actually (somehow) a
 benfit to hosting partners.  Thoughts?

 If you are not in the root directory of your web server, they will contain
the full path, relative to the root

I am trying to get a login system working reusing some code from another

 Suggestion here, not sure if it will solve your problem. It look like
 application.cfm is resetting the session.LoggedIn to false every time it
 loads. you might want to only declare it in the application.cfm file and
 then only change it in the login form. Another thing to consider is when
you
 offer the login form from the application.cfm file try using cfinclude
 index.cfm and then cfabort to avoid changing the session.LoggedIn variable
 before the username password is submitted.

 When I build a secure login I wrap the cfinclude to the login page with a
 condition that looks for NOT isDefined("session.LoggedIn") and then offers
 the login form and aborts processing. That way next run of the page after
 the login form has queried the datasource and set the session.logged in
var
 the login form will not be offered.

 Sometime when your not so tired go and read the docs on the security
manager
 I built. I found a way to use two custom tags and never have to write that
 security code again and again. The security manager comes with a user
 manager that can be delivered to your clients to utilize security in there
 own site.
 Go to http://www.netwebapps.com/remotedev2001/index.htm and click on the
 documentation tab, see security help item.

 Does anyone know anything about these people?

 http://www.2020media.com/


The site looks a bit "amateur" and doesn't fill me with confidence, the
package isn't much to write home about either although the prices are
reasonable.

https://www.iarna.com/ looks far more interesting CF/Perl/ASP 200Mb, 20
pop3, 2Gb bandwidth, 2 ODBC and audio/video streaming for £9 a month, anyone
used them yet?

Help with queries/output

2001-01-16 Thread Wayne Putterill

I have three tables holding members details, regions and members locations,
the locations table just holds foreign ID keys from the other two tables to
identify which regions a member covers (i.e meberid 1, regionid 4).

I then have a page which outputs members details with the regions covered,
this is working fine as long as the member has entries in the location table
but crashes the page if its empty. I'm sure I am missing something obvious
here but its been a year since I coded and I would really appriociate it if
anyone can point me in the right direction.

These are my queries:

CFQUERY name="GetRecord" dataSource="interlink" maxRows=1
 SELECT MEMBERS.company_id AS membershipid, MEMBERS.name AS ViewField1,
MEMBERS.address1 AS ViewField2, MEMBERS.address2 AS ViewField3, MEMBERS.town
AS ViewField4, MEMBERS.postcode AS ViewField5, MEMBERS.phone AS ViewField6,
MEMBERS.fax AS ViewField7, MEMBERS.email AS ViewField8, MEMBERS.url AS
ViewField9, MEMBERS.description AS ViewField10, MEMBERS.logo AS ViewField11,
MEMBERS.company_id AS ID_Field, REGION.region, LOCATED.companyid AS
locationco, LOCATED.regionid, REGION.regionid
 FROM LOCATED, REGION, MEMBERS

 CFIF ParameterExists(URL.RecordID)
 WHERE MEMBERS.company_id = #URL.RecordID#
 AND LOCATED.companyid = MEMBERS.company_id
 AND REGION.regionid = LOCATED.regionid
 cfelse
 WHERE LOCATED.companyid = MEMBERS.company_id
 AND REGION.regionid = LOCATED.regionid
 /CFIF

/CFQUERY


CFQUERY NAME="regionname" DATASOURCE="interlink"
 SELECT  DISTINCT  REGION.region, LOCATED.regionid, LOCATED.companyid
 FROMLOCATED, MEMBERS, REGION
 WHERE #GetRecord.membershipid# = LOCATED.companyid
 AND LOCATED.regionid = REGION.regionid
/CFQUERY


And this is the output for the regions part:

  cfoutput query="regionname"
tr
  td width="18%" bgcolor="##CC"ifont size="-1"bRegions
Covered:/b/font/i/td
  td width="50%"font face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif"#region#/font/td
  form method="post" action="deleteregion.cfm"td align="right"input
type="hidden" name="deleteregion" value="#regionid#"input type="hidden"
name="deletecompany" value="#companyid#"input type="submit" name="Submit"
value="Delete"/td/form
/tr
  /cfoutput

Thanks in advance!
