Selling ColdFusion License?
Hi, If we purchased a copy of ColdFusion 10 license, is there any issues if we sell it to another body?

Re: Selling ColdFusion License?
Thanks Andy! great info http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/transfer-product-license.html I think Adobe used to be particular picky about this, but EU law meant their issues could never be held to account in Europe anyway. Ultimately, no, there shouldn't be any issues.

Opening Local Files
Hi, We have created an online database program. I have a requirement for a user to store links to files contained on their local machines, then at the click of a button it will open the file. If we were to store these files on our server I know we could use cfheader and cfcontent to open the file. However, seeing as the files are stored on their local machines how can I achieve this? I have read this is not possible. There MUST be a way of ding it though! Thanks for your help.

Re: Opening Local Files
Thanks Dave, although I don't quite follow. So can I program our CF application to work with a specific local application? If so do you have any recommendations?

I have read this is not possible. There MUST be a way of ding it though! You'll need local applications to manipulate local files. This is not possible with a CF web application by itself. Those local applications will need to be downloaded and installed by the user, but they can otherwise be very lightweight - for example, Java applets.

Re: Invalid Data for Parameter but which one?
thanks guys, bit sounds good! Actually, the error is telling you exactly what is wrong. You are sending a string value of false to a field that only allows a maximum of 1 character. More than likely, you are trying to send a true/false value to a char(1) field. Try either converting your true/false value to 1/0. Also, I do believe that if you use cfqueryparam (which you should be already) and specify the sql type for the field is bit, it will properly convert your true/false values to 1/0 for you. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:359048 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Textfield Format
I am using ExtJS 3.3 and found a good example here: http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?136002-Mask-for-TextField Carl, You should really review the documentation on the ExtJS site, for the version you are using. You do not need additional plugins for this type of thing. Ext allows you to define default empty text, masked input, and you can put a listener on the field's render event, to place the cursor on focus. The Ext forums, on the Sencha site, are a good place for this sort of info...

Re: Setting Cookie Secure, Domain, Path
Thanks for the info Pete, I will investigate further! Richard Hi Richard, Normally you can switch between J2EE and CFID/CFTOKEN cookies without problem unless something in your application code is relying on one or the other. It may be easy to change that or it may be quite involved, it depends quite a bit on how your application is coded. If you want to use J2EE sessions then you have to edit the jrun-web.xml file http://livedocs.adobe.com/jrun/4/Programmers_Guide/techniques_servlet13.htm#1154030but this is server wide so it will be the same for all sites / applications on the server. Another option would be to use the web server to add the appropriate flags to the web server, here's an example of how you do this on IIS7+ using the IIS rewrite module: http://www.petefreitag.com/item/817.cfm -- Pete Freitag - Adobe Community Professional http://foundeo.com/ - ColdFusion Consulting Products http://hackmycf.com - Is your ColdFusion Server Secure? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubESB87vl5U - FuseGuard your CFML in 10 minutes On Thu, Feb 20, 2014 at 2:39 PM, Richard White rich...@re-base.net wrote: ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:357761 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Can not read response from server. Expected to read 4 bytes...
Thanks Dave, good idea. Ill setup the separate database for this query. Yes unfortunately this query specifically collects data from all databases. I used to have it as a single query per database inside of a loop but this caused an error signifying too many connections. The query is as follows: cfquery name=userExistsInDatasource datasource=rebasedb_manage cfloop index=i from=1 to=#getAllDatasources.recordcount# !--- ENSURE ALL THE SELECT STATEMENTS GET ADDED TOGETHER --- cfif i gt 1 UNION /cfif SELECT #getAllDatasources.datasourceid[i]# as datasourceid, userid FROM rebasedb_#getAllDatasources.datasourceid[i]#.users !--- add the where clause which applies the filters entered into the grid --- WHERE email = cfqueryparam value=#session.currentUser.email# cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar maxlength=50 /cfloop /cfquery we are receiving the following intermittent CF error a lot recently and wondering if you could help diagnose this issue...

I'm unclear on what you're actually doing. You're running a single query that's querying 73 separate databases? If so, that seems like the problem you need to fix, rather than disabling the maintain connections option in your CF data sources. Disabling JDBC connection pooling will usually significantly degrade performance. If you're unable to change or fix that query, I'd recommend creating a separate CF data source that you use just to run that query, and disabling maintain connections for just that one data source.

Re: Now() offset by 1 hour
Yes, it is reporting the correct timezone. I have tried forcing the change to a different timezone, restarting the server and changing it back again but it is still reporting the incorrect time. It could well be a bug in 1.7 although I thought others may have reporting this too yet haven't seen anything. On rare occasion I've had a JVM refuse to get onto the correct timezone, while new and having the correct timezone data and the server having the correct timezone data and even reporting the correct time. 1. Make sure the JVM is reporting the correct timezone. 2. if its not, you can force it with this JVM arg in jvm.config -Duser.timezone=America/New_York If it's reporting the correct timezone, then I think we need to start looking for bugs with JVM 1.7. Unsure about that though.

Hi,
I have noticed that the isvalid('integer',value) function return true for the
value 40+. Whereas if i pass 40+ to a cfargument numeric type an error is
displayed saying invalid numeric value. Strange discrepancy!
I actually need the isvalid function to return false if the sign is on the
right. is there a way to do this?
thanks

If i do not specify the decimal places then it returns an integer, whereas i need it to pass back the exact same value (whether it was an integer or float) but with thousand separators included thanks Should be able to do that with a number format mask http://livedocs. adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=functions_m-r_08. html Robert Harrison Director of Interactive Services Austin Williams Advertising I Branding I Digital I Direct 125 Kennedy Drive, Suite 100 I Hauppauge, NY 11788 T 631.231.6600 X 119 F 631.434.7022 http://www.austin-williams.com Blog: http://www.austin-williams.com/blog Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/austin_williams -Original Message- From: Richard White [mailto:rich...@re-base.net] Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2012 12:21 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Thousand Separator ONLY Hi, is there any way to take any integer or float and add thousand separators without having to specify or change the decimal places thanks ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:351718 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Thousand Separator ONLY
thanks for your help Robert although that didnt work as it returns lots of zeros after the decimal place. for example: 112221.111 got changed to 112,221.111000 thanks I believe you do your own format mask? I don't know the length of your number, but I think NumberFormat(myvar,__,___. __) would work to cover most any number you throw at it.

Re: Thousand Separator ONLY
thanks Chris, i get an error when using the regular expression that says the number 112221.111 cannot be converted to a number this looks to be an interesting challenge for all of us! :) Kinda thought that's what the DecimalFormat function was all about. But now I am reminded that the DecimalFormat function always returns the two decimal places, in addition to the thousands separators. So, I would just run that result through a REReplace and be done with it: cfset FormattedValue = REReplace(DecimalFormat(InputNumeric), \.00$, )) -Chris ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:351726 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Thousand Separator ONLY
I think i may need to be clearer on what i am trying to achieve: I have any form of number, they could be integer or floats and with varying decimal places such as: 11 1.1 11.11 1.1 1. etc I need to have a function that simply adds the thousand separators and returns exactly how they were, such as: 11 11,111.1 11.11 1.1 111,111,111,111,111,111,111. i was hoping there was an existing function that would handle this but its looking like i am going to have to develop a custom function that handles this as the number either handles integers OR floats but not both? thanks Then try numberFormat(myNum, ,9.9) thanks Jason, although this strips off all the decimals numberFormat(myNum, ,9) thanks for your help Robert although that didnt work as it returns lots of zeros after the decimal place. for example: 112221.111 got changed to 112,221.111000 thanks com/austin_ ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:351728 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Editing MS Word Documents with ColdFusion
thanks for the links Gerald. I have usually only worked purely with CF, are there any guides on general rules on converting Java to CF? or how to use Java with CF? thanks That is a good idea. Open Office *is* written in Java. I was curious so I looked around on the web for some code examples and the ones I found were in Java. So, in theory at least, you can create the Java objects in CF and use the code examples as a guide.

Re: ORM overhead
Thanks for the detailed responses. Database vendors have specific solutions for multiple identical databases, one for each customer. I'm so used to using MySQL maybe its time to look at some more powerful ones for this situation :) and the great thing about ORM as was mentioned is its portability thanks for the help I wonder if I am over complicating this issue. Basically our application is a Software as a Service (SaaS) and each client that accesses it really only needs to connect to their own data source due to the type of data our application processes... and regulations in the industry say their data must be separated. I imagined that was the use-case :) Database vendors have specific solutions for multiple identical databases, one for each customer. A popular one is to have separate databases faked by a database server that uses just one database but shows different data based on the customer (login). I believe that is a reasonable approximation of the problem you are facing. One of the vendor buzzwords for that is Virtual Private Database and looking for that shows that the performance problem in having different classes for each customer is solvable if you use Hibernate directly: https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=940748 I am unsure if ColdFusion exposes sufficient control over the Hibernate session to dynamically switch the datasource or login session in CFML, but if you want to use ORM this is the direction I would recommend exploring. So, the actual objects in the database may vary but only *very* slightly. If you want this to work you are probably going to have to merge those differences into one standard schema.

Re: ORM overhead
to rephrase this question slightly, has there been much take up on the CF9 ORM? i read somewhere it was one of the most welcome enhancements in CF9, but then i also read somewhere else its an overhead too far for many developers Hi, we are looking to restructure our system using ORM but are wondering: firstly, about the general overhead of the CF9 ORM? secondly, the overhead in terms of the following scenario: Our application is generalized and customizes itself and its database around users requirements.

Re: SQL grrr
thanks, works perfect! Hi, i know this is probably a simple answer and i probably drunk too much coffee! given the following sql data: ID value 1 A 1 B 1 C 2 A 2 B 3 A 3 B 3 C i need to run a query that says return me the ids that are linked to values A and B and C. so this query on the above data would return IDs 1 and 3 thanks :) ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:347720 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

ORM overhead
Hi, we are looking to restructure our system using ORM but are wondering: firstly, about the general overhead of the CF9 ORM? secondly, the overhead in terms of the following scenario: Our application is generalized and customizes itself and its database around users requirements. The users login to one central application but each client has their own database. So after logging in the system knows which database to use. Therefore, it appears we will have to configure ORM to setup an instance for each individual client. This could obviously spiral into the thousands.

thanks for the info guys. no unfortunately i need cf9 :) although if your cf8 is done so cheap that i can merely upgrade to cf9 which would save some dollar then i would be interested ;) Hi, Am i right in understanding that the only places to get CF9 Standard licenses are from Adobe or hosting companies?

Exact pixel hex color
Hi, I need a function that is passed an image and gets the precise color of a specified pixel. I have seen Ben Nadel's ImageUtils on riaforge and use the GetPixel function. However, it doesnt always get the exact colour. For example if i pass it a png image that has the color: R-204,G-97,B-0 it returns a color of R-255,G-0,B-0 Does anyone have any ideas how i can achieve this thanks ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:347384 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Exact pixel hex color
thanks for the solution yes unfortunately it didn't work correctly with PNG files - only randomly though. Although, the test case i found consistently not to work is an image with the rgb mentioned above thanks Ray, I know that but how many others will? when dealing with x and y, most know that it its the number across and number down. Why confuse them more with words most will not know? Then consider it an opportunity to learn something. ;) Seriously - aren't we OT now? Hopefully this will solve Richard's problem. Richard - you said you tried ImageUtils at RIAForge and it didn't work properly. Did you file a bug report so we (ImageUtils is worked on by a few folks) can track it?

Re: Build drag and drop interface?
thanks for the replies, its more like a drag and drop form builder, where items can be snapped into positions... i suppose similar to ExtJS Designer but one that our software can manage internally... basically our spec is that our clients have various fields in their databases. they want to design their own forms with these fields. our software must then be able to convert their designs into html to display in coldfusion pages and either populate their forms with existing data, or allow them to add new records... hence this is much the same as fields are built up in access. was hoping there would be some way in ExtJS or similar thanks Hi, We use CF as our server side technology and ExtJS as the client technology. Our clients want the ability to create their own 'forms' via drag and drop within our software (much like forms are created in MS Access) does anyone know of any means to achieve this? thanks ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:347213 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Management API?
Hi, i am creating a management API to manage my clients' software.
