cfx_zipman didn't work as documented when trying to unzip all contents of a
zip file.  I'm using CFX_JCompress to extract individual files (but it
doesn't work if they are inside a folder within the zip file) and
cfx_MultiZip to list the contents of a zip file, extract all of the
contents of a zip file, and build a new one.

I think that #4 is my biggest problem right now - email attachments getting
renamed.  Clues anyone?

thanks,
Carol Chandler

Try cfx_zipman, it is in Java and should work on Linux.

issues

         Reposted because I just discovered on another list that posts
made from the
         archives didn't show the contents of the post, and that might
explain why
         my questions rarely get answered here!

         Hi all,

         We have just moved from Windows to Linux, and CF5 to MX.  This
move brought
         a whole host of unpleasant issues with it, mostly having to do
with our
         download process.

         1.  Does anyone know of a really good zip tag that works with
Linux?  I
         loved Ben Forta's cfx_zip on Windows, but can't find one that
robust for
         Linux.  Specific problem:  I can't find one that will unzip a
specific file
         in an archive that has a zipped folder in it.

         2.  We store our design files in a non-browser-accessible
directory, and
         then create a zip file in another temp non-accessible directory
after
         purchase.  I'm using cfdirectory to create this directory.  Most
of the
         time it works, but sometimes for no reason that is apparent to
me, it
         doesn't.  (Yeah, as I wrote this I realized that I needed to do
a different
         thing with error handling here, so maybe next time it happens I
will get a
         clue.)  Meanwhile, does anyone know why this would happen?  It
can work
         sometimes for a particular user and not others.

         3.  When everything else has worked so far, and the customer's
zip file has
         been created, they can choose download or email.  I'm using
         <CFHEADER NAME="Content-Disposition" VALUE="attachment;
StitcheryMall.zip">
         <CFCONTENT TYPE="application/x-zip-compressed" FILE="#zipname#"
         deletefile="yes">
         for the download.  In our testing, this worked acceptably.  It
does indeed
         download the proper file, and for all of our tests (except with
Opera), the
         file ended with .zip.  We have customers saying that they are
getting .cfm
         or no extension.  Any ideas?

         4.  When they select email, we use
         <cfmail to="#user.email#" from="#me#" subject="Stitchery Mall
Files"
         spoolenable="no">
         <cfmailparam file="#zipname#"
type="application/x-zip-compressed">
         blah blah blah </cfmail>

         Spoolenable is no because the next thing that happens is that
the file gets
         deleted, and if it is yes, half the time it gets deleted before
the message
         gets sent.  The problem here is also the file name.  People are
getting all
         sorts of things - and they have forwarded them to me.  Generally
it is a
         good file, but often with a .dat or no extension.  Any clues
here?

         5.  Some customers are reporting corrupted files.  Could this be
an issue
         with the zip tag, or is it more likely part of the
download/email
         process?  I suppose it could also simply be their way of
reporting a bad
         file extension.

         I appreciate any help you can give me.  I'm almost too busy
sending out
         files to customers to actually fix anything!
