Re: Templates executing twice CF bug

2001-12-11 Thread James Sleeman

Ok, here is what I see is hapenning in this situation (and it is NOTHING to 
do with CF or IIS or anything server side here), quite simple... let's take 
for exampl the _URL_) you are using in the src of your img tag it has a bit 
before the first #  which in this case is an empty string, and a bit after 
the first # which isn't important for now.  What does this remind you 
of perhaps something like A SRC=blah.htm#someAnchorfoo/A (by now 
you probably see your error but I'll continue for those who it is not 
obvious to).  What that anchor does is tells your browser to get blah.htm 
and display it from the point in the document that the anchor named 
someAnchor appears.  You canm just as easily write A 
SRC=#someAnchorfoo/A which tells the browser to go to the point in the 
document where the anchor someAnchor appears.  Both of these are valid 
URLS.  The src in an image tag takes a valid URL.  So in your example img 
tag below, when the browser gets that (the hashes come through because 
there is no cfoutput around it) it reads that as load the image from the 
current document at the point where the anchor 
variables.someVariable#/test.gif is written (which of course makes no 
sense, but the browser doesn't care, all it wanted was a URL and you gave 
it a URL), it does it's duty, the img tag causes  the template to be hit 
again, and when it gets the results it tries to the anchor you specified 
(which of course doesn't do anything because not only does the anchor not 
exist, but that file isn't an image either).  Now of course this may not 
happen on all browsers, mainly because if they are clever enough they will 
not have to actually hit the server to get the same file they are looking 
at, and if they are really clever enough they will know that an anchor 
specification inside an img src is nonsense and will ignore it.

Nothing mystical, just not an expected behaviour on behalf of web browsers.

Re: Templates executing twice CF bug

2001-12-11 Thread Jochem van Dieten

Max Paperno wrote:

 Greetings,
 
 I've identified a somewhat minor but possibly damaging bug in CF 5.


It is not a bug.

  It's pretty strange, but true.  Zac Belado has confirmed that this

was also the problem in his case (see his Page Processing Twice message from earlier 
today).  It seems to only affect CF5 (4.5 was also tried) but so far only tested on 
W2K.


Why you believe this is unclear to me. There must be differences in 
server setup.

 The bug causes a template to be executed twice by the CF engine.  It literally runs 
everything connected to the request twice (all includes, parent template, etc).  
There is no indication of this unless you have data that is noticeably affected (such 
as inserting DB records).  The HTTP request is not doubled, only the actual CF code 
execution.  This is not browser or Web server-related in any way.


It is browser related.



 The cause seems to be missing cfoutput tags around a variable call, and apparently 
specifically in an IMG tag (some others were tried with no problems surfacing).


I would imagine this would also surface with objects, javascript 
includes etc.

 So some code like this:
 
 img src=#variables.someVariable#/test.gif
 
 (w/out cfoutput tags anywhere around it) will cause double execution.  Wrap it in 
cfoutputs (or in comments) and the problem goes away.
 
 Strange, no?


Not strange at all.

This is what happens. Inside the page you send to the browser is the 
following HTML.
img src=#someVariable#/test.gif

The browser expects to have to display an image with a relavtive 
location of #someVariable#/test.gif. But since # means that it is a 
named object inside the same page the browser repeats the request to the 
webserver to get the same page again. Just like you would use target=# 
to make a form post back to itself.

If I run your template normally.

if i remember correctly you can put all the pages you dont want into a

This would prevent all robots from indexing a folder called private:

User-agent: *

You can also specify pages:

3 selects related and nightmare trees

2001-12-11 Thread Kay Smoljak

Hi all,

I posted this on the HouseOfFusion SQL list but haven't had any bites...
Can anyone help?

I have a limited tree kind of deal going with a table of categories -
the structure is like so:

pkCategoriescategory_name   fkParentCategory

To save it from turning into absolute hell, there can only be three
categories deep - so a category can have a subcategory which can have
subcategories, but that's as far as it goes.

I want to use Nate Weiss's custom tag three selects related. To use it
I need to create a query object with the following structure:

grandparentID   grandparentname parentIDparentname  childID
childname

I have no idea how to write such a beast. I started out with:

SELECT A.pkCategories, A.category_name, A.fkParentCategory, 
( SELECT B.pkCategories, B.category_name,
B.fkParentCategory
FROM Categories B   
WHERE B.pkCategories = A.fkParentCategory
) 
FROM Categories A

But I'm not really sure what I'm doing or where I'm going :)

If it's not possible with SQL, I could use CF's query functions to
create what I need. That requires a whole rethink though.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Kay.

Better: ODBC from a portability point of view, OLE DB from a technical

Faster: OLE DB. In this case (SQL2K) ODBC is actually a layer on top of 
OLE DB. That layer introduces some performance loss, and also an extra

RE: ODBC or OLE DB

2001-12-11 Thread Craig Dudley

OLEDB seems to be slightly faster under load, nothing much in it though
under normal conditions.

ODBC drivers can apparantly suffer from memory leaks under certain
circumstances. Although I've never really seen any evidence of this using
SQL server.

OLEDB handles dates and boolean fields slightly differently at times
(perhaps other data types too?), converting sites that use ODBC can be a
pain.

I've used both quite bit, and still don't have a preference. If I was trying
to decide which to use for a new site, then I would probably go with ODBC as
I know it better and find it easier.

CFGRAPH

2001-12-11 Thread Leon Greeff

Hi Cfers,

I am battling to get the URL attribute to work with a line graph. It is
working with a bar graph but not with the line graph. Is there a limitation
with the line graph that you guys are aware of?

Rcurring Event for Calendar

2001-12-11 Thread David Brown

I need to be able to schedule recurring events on our calendar.  For 
example every 3rd Monday of the month for say 6 months.

I think I figured out how to find the 3rd Monday of the month, but it is 
not the fast way I think.  What I am doing is finding the first day of 
the month then looping through each day until I get to the 3rd 
occurrence of whatever day I am looking for in this case the 3rd Monday.

What I would like to know; is there a formula for calculating a 
particular day of the month is this case say the 3rd Monday of each 
month?

David

RE: 3 selects related and nightmare trees

2001-12-11 Thread Janine Jakim

Kay,
When I made my 3 select I resorted to doing it in access and then modifying
the sql that i needed to make the 3 select work.  It's a huge burdensome
query and I don't know if it's overkill or not. I'm showing you my query so
you'll have an idea about what i did.  Mine was for a school the user picks
a grade then picks a teacher then can pick student(s).
I've taken three tables for this: Teacher, Student and Class tables.  (my
client.schoolnum maybe confusing- to make a unique teacherid we need the
school number and the teacher number).  I added my formatting inside my
query because I couldn't find a way to do it otherwise (LASTNAME + ',
'+FIRSTNAME AS NAME) I hope this is helpful...
j

CFQUERY NAME=GradeTeachStudent DATASOURCE=#Request.dsn#

SELECT Teachers.GRADE, Students.GRADE,  
Students.LASTNAME, Students.FIRSTNAME, 
CLASS.CLASSID, LASTNAME +',  '+ FIRSTNAME AS NAME,
CLASS.SCHOOLNUM, CLASS.TeachType,
 Students.ID, Teachers.TCHNAME
 FROM Teachers INNER JOIN (CLASS INNER JOIN Students ON CLASS.ID =
Students.ID) ON (Teachers.CLASSLINK = CLASS.CLASSID) AND (Teachers.SCHOOLNUM
= CLASS.SCHOOLNUM)
WHERE  Teachers.SCHOOLNUM=#CLIENT.SCHOOLNUM#

AND (CLASS.TeachType='Homeroom')
AND CLASS.CLASSID=Teachers.CLASSID

Subject: 3 selects related and nightmare trees


Hi all,

I posted this on the HouseOfFusion SQL list but haven't had any bites...
Can anyone help?

I have a limited tree kind of deal going with a table of categories -
the structure is like so:

pkCategoriescategory_name   fkParentCategory

To save it from turning into absolute hell, there can only be three
categories deep - so a category can have a subcategory which can have
subcategories, but that's as far as it goes.

I want to use Nate Weiss's custom tag three selects related. To use it
I need to create a query object with the following structure:

grandparentID   grandparentname parentIDparentname  childID
childname

I have no idea how to write such a beast. I started out with:

SELECT A.pkCategories, A.category_name, A.fkParentCategory, 
( SELECT B.pkCategories, B.category_name,
B.fkParentCategory
FROM Categories B   
WHERE B.pkCategories = A.fkParentCategory
) 
FROM Categories A

But I'm not really sure what I'm doing or where I'm going :)

If it's not possible with SQL, I could use CF's query functions to
create what I need. That requires a whole rethink though.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Kay.

RE: Is CFGRAPH Crap?

2001-12-11 Thread Mark Stewart

I just use it for very basic things as I find the tag very limiting. For
example: I can't figure out how to apply formatting to the numbers in
the graph. On some reports, I have values that are in the millions - It
doesn't look very good when you have a graph with a number like 100

Maybe neo will provide more integration.

Is the new CFGRAPH tag crap or is it just designed for very basic usage?

Specifically, I need to increase the width of the graph -- partly to
make
more room for the labels in a vertical bar chart (and partly for
aesthetics).

I've searched the archives and have seen other people asking but no
definitive answer. Should I just bag CFGRAPH or is it a little more
robust
than I'm thinking at this point? Thanks.

Re: Trimming Files

Depending on what line separator(s) are used... you can do it a few different ways.
But ones that come to mind this instant are...

1. Use a regular expression, I don't use the builtin regexp coldfusion stuff
2. Search and replace on two instance of the separator(s), then clean the last line, 
if exists
3. Loops lines and manually parse, removing startline+whitespace+endline if it appears
4. Write or have someone write a simple custom tag that does this if you need 
efficiency, future use,  ease.

Read it, parse it, overwrite it.

Probably the best way to parse it would be a regular expression like:
cfset text=REReplaceNoCase(text,(^.*[^[:space:]])[[:space:]]*$,\1)
(I believe linefeeds are in the space clase, could be control as well in 
which case you need to change accordingly.)

RE: CFDirectory and Network

2001-12-11 Thread Garza, Jeff

Make sure the account that CF is running under (system by default) has
network rights.  Typically, the system account on a webserver doesn't have
network privs.  Change the account that CF runs as using the services
control panel to an account that has network rights.

I'm trying to do a cfdirectory across our network from the server to a

Everthing works fine on the locals but I get nothing back on the mapped

Am I missing something in the doc about not being able to do this ?

Re: Send response to browser, but continue working on request?

Have you tried cfflush?  I believe this tag will allow you to send partial
responses to the browser.  I might have spelled it wrong, but I am sure
there is a function in CF.

 I have a function that allows a user to create a file of available

 browser will timeout, but they haven't gotten their file yet...

 What I want to do is let the user make the request and then respond with
 Thank you for your request. Your file will be created and emailed to you

 How can I spawn off the part that will actually create the file and

well the connection failure was me being short sighted and not realizing
that there was some server setting that has been changed and needed to be
changed back to get cfhttp to work, which I finally figured out and got the
sysadmin to fix, but now that I'm actually connecting, which is always a
good start, I'm getting the message UPSOnLine5%Missing ActionCode%6837

How are you calling the tag? That may be where the problem is.what is

Trying to help,

Dunwiddie, Bruce put into words:
The FileContent is coming back with Connection Failure and that's it.
When
I go to the url in a browser, I get UPSOnLine5%Missing ActionCode%6837.
In
the code, there's a line that says CFIF ListFirst(CFHTTP.FileContent,
%)
IS UPSOnLine3. I'm kind of at a loss if it's something wrong on my end,
but it really looks to me like this one is on the wrong version by that
upsonline #, and I tried changing the code to look for upsonline5, and I
still get the same. Could you fill in on maybe some other processes I need
to do to use the script. I don't see any login variables or anything...

RE: Send response to browser, but continue working on request?

2001-12-11 Thread Dunwiddie, Bruce

you are wanting the browser to make a request for a file but not wait for
the file to be retrieved? if so, I don't think that's feasible. a general
solution for the problem of generating the email would be to have a img
src=createfile.cfm that can send out the email and you can show them
whatever message you'd like to show them and the browser waiting for more
should have no effect on the cfm or on the user.

Perhaps you could use the CFSCHEDULE tag to programmatically schedule a job
to run (soon) which generates the file and sends the email?  Then the page
that the user sees will be done as soon as the job is scheduled (should be
quick).  Though some people hate CFSCHEDULE and I haven't used it much.

RE: Send response to browser, but continue working on request?

2001-12-11 Thread Michael Haggerty

Tony; 

The scheme I used in the past to do something similar was the following.
Please keep in mind this is pre-version 5 and may no longer be the best
practice. 

1) Update a database with the user's id and the details on the page to
generate (any variables passed, etc.). Display a page explaining the user
will receive an email with download instructions.

2) CFSCHEDULE the page to generate the report ON ANOTHER BOX so you won't
bog down a production server with long running pages. Set the timeout on
this template to serve your needs. Make sure you use CFERROR or CFCATCH to
monitor the template's progress. It is a good idea to set yourself up to be
notified in case of errors. 

3) Use CFFILE to create the file and store the file name and path in a
database for later removal. 

4) Update the database to indicate the page has generated or Delete the
record to remove it from the queue.

5) CFMAIL the client download instructions on successful creation of the
file. Tell the user how long they will have to download the file. You may
wish to have the client download the page via CFCONTENT and have some error
handling set up at this stage to avoid any snafus.

6) CFSCHEDULE another page to delete old files using the information stored
in step 3. No need to keep reports that have already been created. 

Good luck,
Mike

Parse the file as a list, with a carriage return as your delimiter.  Each

cfset lineNum = 1

  cfset fileContents = listDeleteAt(list,lineNum,chr(10))

RE: 3 selects related and nightmare trees

2001-12-11 Thread Justin Greene

The below piece is from the SQL books online and provides a sample of
handling expanding heirarchies.  This may be what you are looking for
(though it will probably only work in SQL, not access)...

Expanding Hierarchies
Databases often store hierarchical information. For example, the following
data is a hierarchical representation of regions of the world. This
representation does not clearly show the structure implied by the data.

Parent Child 

-- --

World  Europe

World  North America 

Europe France

France Paris 

North America  United States 

North America  Canada

United States  New York  

United States  Washington

New York   New York City 

Washington Redmond   

  

This example is easier to interpret:

World

North America

Canada

United States

Washington

Redmond

New York

New York City

Europe

France

Paris

  

The following Transact-SQL procedure expands an encoded hierarchy to any
arbitrary depth. Although Transact-SQL supports recursion, it is more
efficient to use a temporary table as a stack to keep track of all of the
items for which processing has begun but is not complete. When processing is
complete for a particular item, it is removed from the stack. New items are
added to the stack as they are identified.

CREATE PROCEDURE expand (@current char(20)) as

SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @level int, @line char(20)

CREATE TABLE #stack (item char(20), level int)

INSERT INTO #stack VALUES (@current, 1)

SELECT @level = 1

  

WHILE @level  0

BEGIN

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM #stack WHERE level = @level)

BEGIN

SELECT @current = item

FROM #stack

WHERE level = @level

SELECT @line = space(@level - 1) + @current

PRINT @line

DELETE FROM #stack

WHERE level = @level

AND item = @current

INSERT #stack

SELECT child, @level + 1

FROM hierarchy

WHERE parent = @current

IF @@ROWCOUNT  0

SELECT @level = @level + 1

END

ELSE

SELECT @level = @level - 1

END -- WHILE

  

The input parameter (@current) indicates the place in the hierarchy to
start. It also keeps track of the current item in the main loop.

The two local variables used are @level, which keeps track of the current
level in the hierarchy, and @line, which is a work area used to construct
the indented line. 

The SET NOCOUNT ON statement avoids cluttering up the output with ROWCOUNT
messages from each SELECT.

The temporary table, #stack, is created and primed with the item identifier
of the starting point in the hierarchy, and @level is set to match. The
level column in #stack allows the same item to appear at multiple levels in
the database. Although this situation does not apply to the geographic data
in the example, it can apply in other examples.

In this example, when @level is greater than 0, the procedure follows
several steps: 

If there are any items in the stack at the current level (@level), the
procedure chooses one and calls it @current. 
Indents the item @level spaces, and then prints the item. 
Deletes the item from the stack so it won't be processed again, and then
adds all its child items to the stack at the next level (@level + 1). This
is the only place where the hierarchy table (#stack) is used. 



Note With a conventional programming language, you would have to find each
child item and add it to the stack individually. With Transact-SQL, you can
find all child items and add them with a single statement, avoiding another
nested loop. 





If there are child items (IF @@ROWCOUNT  0), descends one level to process
them (@level = @level + 1); otherwise, continues processing at the current
level. 
Finally, if there are no items on the stack awaiting processing at the
current level, goes back up one level to see if there are any awaiting
processing at the previous level (@level = @level - 1). When there is no
previous level, the expansion is complete.

RE: Does anyone see a problem with this query?

2001-12-11 Thread Michael Haggerty

I was hoping that was not really the error... 

I don't see how this could be causing the error, but it seems like you are
joining on the wrong id field. Did you really mean to join on the id fields
of each table, or were you meaning to join on topics.id to to
sub_topics.topic_id?

I dunno... this is a wierd one. Maybe the problem has to do with the
permissions on CF?

Errors 232s Long running requests, and lots more stuff

 I can't seem to find the answer to these contstant errors/warnings in the log 
file of cf 5...

 It seems all throughout the day, I'm seeing NT error 232
A long-running request returned. The unresponsive thread count is down to 0. 
A request exceeded the timeout. The unresponsive thread count is up to 1. 
!!  CFTrace::logThread(1116) has no entry for thread 1116



Can anyone clue me in on where I need to start looking ? One thing, I'm 
concerned about is the group that wrote this application used session variables
continously and didn't use any locking whatsoever.. If this a possibility of 
the problems ? .. Could it be timing out talking to the database server ?

 Thanks !

Re: Templates executing twice CF bug

2001-12-11 Thread Max Paperno

Hi,

Not strange at all.

Well, I agree that would make sense.  Also I should have checked the Web server logs 
for my test before I sent it out.  I do see the double HTTP request in the logs from 
this example.

However, I just tried again the original place I discovered this (a much more 
complicated situation), and there is no double entry in the Web logs.  Really.  
Perhaps it has something to do with browser cache.  So, that was the source of my 
confusion previously.  Perhaps the browser really is requesting the whole page twice 
but it's not logged by the Web server?  Not sure.  Web servers I tried are WebSite Pro 
and Apache.  Also not sure why the CF version would affect the results in my case.

I'll see if I can repro this situation again and cause it not to log to the Web 
server.  I agree the explanation offered by James and Jochem makes sense, but in any 
case this is something to watch out for.  I'll report back if I find anything new on 
this.

Regards,
-Max

the problem is that a 2D (or 3D) is simply an array of arrays (or an
array of arrays of arrays).  so when you try to sort that, there's no
sortable value to an array, so the sort will fail.

OT: CF Evaluate in VB?

2001-12-11 Thread Shawn Grover

I'm writing a program in VB and find it would be extremely useful to have a
function similar to to Cold Fusion's Evaluate function.  Does anyone know if
such a function exists in VB?  I've yet to see anything like it in the MSDN.


I have seen third party tools that would handle math, but these don't appear
to handle strings to the extent that CF does.

Thanks for the info.

CFCONTENT performance issue

2001-12-11 Thread bdavis

I need help solving a CFCONTENT performance issue.  I am using CF4.5.1 SP1 
on WinNT4.0 SP6 and IIS 4 (but se the same problem with CF 5, Win2000 and IIS5)

I am trying to use CFCONTENT to display several (up to 20) GIF images on a 
page. This is to allow running authentication checks before permitting the 
user to view the images. All the mechanics are fine and the images display, 
but there is a *severe* performance degradation vs. direct HREFs to the files.

When the CF number of simultaneous requests is set to 5 there is a 
2-second delay after each 5 GIFs.
When the CF number of simultaneous requests is set to 1 there is a 
2-second delay after each GIF. This is noted in the IIS logs.

I also have network monitor logs which capture the actual packets. If you 
look at the last packet before and the first packet after the 2-second 
delay sent by the server to the browser, the only difference is that the 
data has been sent bit is set. The data is already completely sent before 
the 2-second delay.

Anyone have any hints as to what is going on, or better yet, how to fix it?
Any faster alternatives to CFCONTENT for downloading a file but not 
revealing its location?

thanks

QUASI OT: Opening Office Documents in a spawned browser.

2001-12-11 Thread Carlisle, Eric

This is an intranet page, so IE5.5 is the controlled environment.

I'm opening an office document in a spawned window (a href=
target=_Blank).
The spawned window pops up, but I'm still prompted with an Open/Save dialog.
Anyway I can just have it open without the prompt.  I think this happens
when you open it in the same browser window, but that's not an option.

Any ideas would be appreciated :)

Re: Form Submittal

2001-12-11 Thread Gyrus

 Store changed fields in a database without doing a standard submit with a
 reload.
 
 Or, if I can modify the form action to point to two different actions
 depending on which submit is pressed.

You could probably do both with some combination of the
generic 'button' input type and 'onclick' event, e.g.

input type=button name=submit1 id=submit1 value=Submit 1
onclick=thisForm.action='index.cfm?action=submit1'; thisForm.submit(); /

input type=button name=submit2 id=submit2 value=Submit 2
onclick=thisForm.action='index.cfm?action=submit2'; thisForm.submit(); /

Maybe do the first thing (submit info without current page reloading)
by transferring everything to another window that closes itself - not
sure about that though.

Re: QUASI OT: Opening Office Documents in a spawned browser.

2001-12-11 Thread Sam Farmer

I think you will find that it depends on how each browser is set up.  Users
are given the option of how they want to handle non-web files such as Word,
Excel, etc.  These options generally are: Open, Save, Always Prompt.  Each
browser and version is normally a little different in their implementation.

In short though you will always run in to problems and the best solution I
would offer is to provide some help text explaining how to always have it
open.

RE: How to Sort Multidimensional Array

2001-12-11 Thread Bryan Love

In a 3-dimensional array the first and second dimensions are arrays of
pointers, not values.  You'll need a loop to sort them.

Check this example - this will sort each array independently:

cfset ta = arrayNew(3)
cfset ta[1][1][1] = a
cfset ta[1][1][2] = b
cfset ta[1][1][3] = c
cfset ta[1][2][1] = f
cfset ta[1][2][2] = h
cfset ta[1][2][3] = e
cfset ta[2][1][1] = q
cfset ta[2][1][2] = j
cfset ta[2][1][3] = k

cfoutput
cfloop from=1 to=#arrayLen(ta)# index=i
cfloop from=1 to=#arrayLen(ta[i])# index=j
cfset temp = arraySort(ta[i][j],text)
!--- output the results for verification ---
cfloop from=1 to=#arrayLen(ta[i][j])# index=k
#ta[i][j][k]#br
/cfloopbr

 What are these programs for?

They're the two services used by Advanced Security - the authentication and
authorization servers.

Rather than just leave it at that, it might be worth mentioning that, in
Windows, you can often find out what a program does by right-clicking it in
Windows Explorer, selecting Properties, then selecting the Version tab.
In the case of SmServAuth.exe, that would give you SiteMinder (TM)

Tag to parse incoming email???

2001-12-11 Thread Nick Baker

Couldn't find anything like this in the tag gallery.

We are putting together a basic help desk software. The idea is to read a 
(Eudora) mail box file. Extract only the basic header info, i.e., Date, 
From, To, Reply-to and Subject, and the body. Insert the extracted info 
into the corresponding MS Access DB fields.

CFPOP seems to be a little short on features as it only extracts the header 
info. Rather than query a pop server and pre-filter, we prefer to batch 
off-line with mailbox files where Eudora has already pre-filtered. .

Thanks,

Nick

can't do it without a page refresh somewhere. you could put the actual form

onload calls a window.open to some page that then displays the results.
we're doing something very similar on an image generation and preview.
orr, you could attempt to have some rather complex java script that
onclick of the submit button, pops open a new window and in the url for that

 script that
 onclick of the submit button, pops open a new window and in the 
 url for that
 new window, send the values of each form element as url parameters 
 and have
 the action of the update at the top of the page that's being 
 popped open.

 I'm writing a program in VB and find it would be extremely useful to have
a
 function similar to to Cold Fusion's Evaluate function.  Does anyone know
if
 such a function exists in VB?  I've yet to see anything like it in the
MSDN.


 I have seen third party tools that would handle math, but these don't
appear
 to handle strings to the extent that CF does.

 Thanks for the info.

RE: Form Submittal

2001-12-11 Thread Marcus

I think that will have to do it. I can use a variation of..

form name=foo method=post action= Target=_display

Form fields... 

input type=submit value=Use Dallas
   onclick=setFormAction(this.form, 'http://mach2/submit.cfm') /
input type=submit value=Use Chicago
   onclick=setFormAction(this.form, 'http://mach1/submit.cfm') /

Thanks for all the help...

Marcus

 TARGET=_newpage in the FORM tag will also open a new window for you each
 time the form is submitted (_newpage should be understood to be
 any name you
 want for the new window), which will also let you accomplish what you
 describe below.  The attribute may not be supported in older
 (pre-version 3)
 browsers, though.

In my relatively limited experience installing CF 5, it hasn't seemed to
make much difference either way. For my own development machine, I'd save
the existing registry keys for datasources, etc, then uninstall 4.5 (which
should leave those keys anyway, I think) then install CF 5.

You can't use CFOUTPUT there, because you can't use it in any CF tags - it's
only intended to output CFML expressions into HTML or other text returned
directly to the browser (although you can also use it to loop over a
recordset without actually generating any output, if you like. But don't
freak out, Mr. Bear! You can still do what you want, by building a single
variable:

cfset mystr = 
cfset CrLf = Chr(13)  Chr(10)

cfoutput query=hello
cfset mystr = mystr  fname  ,  lname  CrLf

add a line break using #chr(10)#:

or, the really slow method:

you only create a new file on the first record - so do an append if you're
doing record 2+

cfoutput qurey=hello
cfif currentRow eq 1
cfset action = WRITE
cfelse
cfset action=APPEND

RE: Writing to text file

2001-12-11 Thread Rick Osborne [Mojo]

Dave recommended using a single variable:

: cfset mystr = 
: cfset CrLf = Chr(13)  Chr(10)
: cfoutput query=hello
:   cfset mystr = mystr  fname  ,  lname  CrLf
: /cfoutput
: cffile action=write output=#mystr# ...

Actually, you could take this one step further and make it pretty
transparent:

CF_SaveFileContent File=filename.txt
CFOUTPUT query=hello#fname#,#lname#
/CFOUTPUT
/CF_SaveContent

Then, your CF_SaveFileContent tag is really simple:

CFIF ThisTag.ExecutionMode IS End
  CFFILE ACTION=WRITE FILE=#Attributes.File#
OUTPUT=#ThisTag.GeneratedContent#
  CFSET ThisTag.GeneratedContent=
/CFIF

You can do pretty much *anything* you want in that first set of tags.
Output, formatting, logic, whatever.  If you don't want to write your own
custom tag (even if it is just 4 lines), and you have CF5(?), use
CFSAVECONTENT.

CFContent

2001-12-11 Thread Janine Jakim

I'm using CFCONTENT to call a pdf form- It does fine on MAC IE and most pc
IE and Netscape.
However, on one browser a 98 machine with IE5.5 I can't get the pdf to show.
Instead there is the box and the msg says Error Locating Object Handler
There is no viewer available for the type of object you are trying to open.
The following informantion is available about this object.
Address:  http://blahblah
Content type:  text/html
Possible location of viewer: Microsoft ActiveXGallery

I took the Ben Forta advice and checked the Folder Options in Tools of
Windows Explorer.  I went over it piece by piece comparing it to the
settings of a browser that worked- I didn't see any differences.
This browser has opened pdfs when I used the meta tag and the embed tag so I
know that it does open pdfs...any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

RE: Send response to browser, but continue working on request?

2001-12-11 Thread Tony Schreiber

Thanks, that sounds good, but I was hoping to not have to use CFSCHEDULE.

Any other ideas?

 The scheme I used in the past to do something similar was the following.
 Please keep in mind this is pre-version 5 and may no longer be the best
 practice.

 1) Update a database with the user's id and the details on the page to
 generate (any variables passed, etc.). Display a page explaining the user
 will receive an email with download instructions.

 2) CFSCHEDULE the page to generate the report ON ANOTHER BOX so you won't
 bog down a production server with long running pages. Set the timeout on
 this template to serve your needs. Make sure you use CFERROR or CFCATCH to
 monitor the template's progress. It is a good idea to set yourself up to be
 notified in case of errors.

 3) Use CFFILE to create the file and store the file name and path in a
 database for later removal.

 4) Update the database to indicate the page has generated or Delete the
 record to remove it from the queue.

 5) CFMAIL the client download instructions on successful creation of the
 file. Tell the user how long they will have to download the file. You may
 wish to have the client download the page via CFCONTENT and have some error
 handling set up at this stage to avoid any snafus.

 6) CFSCHEDULE another page to delete old files using the information stored
 in step 3. No need to keep reports that have already been created.

 Good luck,
 Mike

 I have a function that allows a user to create a file of available

 browser will timeout, but they haven't gotten their file yet...

 What I want to do is let the user make the request and then respond with
 Thank you for your request. Your file will be created and emailed to you
 shortly.

 How can I spawn off the part that will actually create the file and
 still respond with a finished request to the browser?
