Hey Everyone,
Newbie here... just purchased a copy of Rob Brooks-Bilson's Programming
ColdFusion a few weeks back and I think I'm hooked on this stuff..
I have never done any previous database web dev. but I have done plenty
of HTML. Well, I just built a message forum and database driven
calendar, and now I'm going to dig in and figure out user logins. I was
looking at session/cookie/client variables and had a couple questions.
I would like to have my site remember a user's setting if they request
it. So, I figure that I'll use a single cookie that stores a unique
user-id in a cookie and then request that cookie and reference it
against the user database for the rest of their configuration (username,
email, etc)
What I'm somewhat confused about is if I need to enable client
management to use cookies? And do I need session management if I want
to make use of session variables, or does that just make the app create
CFID and CFTOKEN. Here's what I'm guessing, and I was hoping someone
could tell me if I'm right or wrong..
<cfapplication name = "application_name"
clientManagement = "No"
setClientCookies = "No"
sessionManagement = "Yes/No???" <- do I need this?
sessionTimeout = #CreateTimeSpan(0, 0, 30, 0)#
applicationTimeout = #CreateTimeSpan(0, 0, 30, 0)#>
Hopefully that makes sense...
Thanks!
Mike
