RE: Verity Question

I am working on a new site that will be almost exclusively database driven. I need to associate three fields with the collection. CFINDEX only allows 2 custom1 and custom2.

RE: problems with _date
The problem is: If you have a field named something_date, CF will try to validate a formfield something as a US date. As the field something doesn't exist, the validation will fail. The value of the form field is used as errormessage (that's why the message is like that). The solution is to change the name of the formfield something_date. If you _absolutly_ want that name kept, create a hidden formfield with the name 'something' and the value '01/01/2000'.

cfsearch - Improving indexing speed for DB collection.
I have several verity collections that index database records. It was behaving fine before when I indexed these collections. I have altered my code some, and it now indexes about twice as many pages, but takes at least 10x as long to execute. The only significant changes that I made are 1) I am adding rows to the query using QueryAddRow(), and 2) I changed they Key that is used from a numeric identity to a mixed number/text combination.

CF 5 can't handle DB2 (was: Server running way too slow)
I need to figure out why CF 4.5 and a piddly server can handle our traffic whereas CF 5.0 and a powerful server cannot. Our requests were running so slow when I initially loaded CF 5 that I had to go back to CF 4.5, where it worked splendidly. Now I reinstalled CF 5 and page requests are taking way too long again. Way too long. PerfMon shows cached requests in the 100+ range (and running requests to 5 I think, which is the default setting in CFIDE - note that I have not changed these from 4.5, where the default settings worked). My conclusion is that it has something to do with CF5 and DB2. Most of our site accesses a DB2 back end but the whole site is slow. I'm connecting to DB2 via ODBC because we cannot get the native driver to work (is there a trick here! DANG!!!). I just don't see how CF can even be a factor here -- but how can it not? DB2 query processing times are fine (3 seconds), but the page comes up much later (35+ seconds). All of the relevant server settings are set to their defaults as they were with CF 4.5, though I made mods to them the first time I loaded CF 5 to no avail. Macromedia does not wish to hear from me until I fork over support $$$, which would be fine but as a govt agency we pay by voucher which can take weeks. Can someone bail me out?

Session variables expiring
I thought I had this all figured out -- it works fine on sites running under CF Ver. 4.0 -- but now I realize that I don't. My session variables on a site running on an NT 4/CF 4.5 server keep expiring prematurely (it seems like after 10 or 20 minutes). The following code is in my Application.cfm file: cfapplication name=SNAMeLearning clientmanagement=Yes sessionmanagement=Yes setclientcookies=Yes sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(1,0,0,0)# applicationtimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(1,0,0,0)# In CF Administrator, I have the following settings for Session Variables: Maximum: 1 0 0 0 Default: 1 0 0 0 I have tried setting this to 5 hours and it didn't work either: 0 5 0 0 I even tried removing the sessiontimeout line from the cfapplication tag so that the CF Admin defaults would kick in. No good. Application variable timeouts appear to be working fine. They are set the same way as the session variables. I am at my wits end with this. Like I said, I use the same settings on my CF 4.0 apps and they work fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Forms and CF Code
Raymond Camden wrote: Why would anyone need to clean cfcode? Unless you save user input to a file and cfinclude it, it will not get executed. That is a dangerous oversimplification. Many people generate dynamic forms and loop over either form.fieldnames or the form collection to evaluate the forms that are posted back. This frequently involves the Evaluate() function. Something like: cfloop list=#form.fieldnames# index=i cfset temp = Evaluate(field) other code /cfloop In testing somebodies site I have used this to slow his site to a crawl by making a custom form with code like: form action= input type=text name=CFUSION_DBCONNECTIONS_FLUSH() /form Naturally correct scoping of variables prevents this, but sloppy use of Evaluate() and certain other functions is just as dangerous as executing user code the way you describe.

RE: Forms and CF Code
In my case, I do web front ends to database applications. Some of the database allows data entry from the public (mail list sign up, etc.) I can't guarantee how the database info is going to be used in the future. But even now, a good amount of the information is retrieved and displayed to a web page - some of it within EVALUATE functions. Therefore, stripping out unwanted code (javascript, cfcode, etc) is a good idea - unless I want some script kiddie messing around with my sites. On the otherhand, you are right. If you are simply collecting information from the website, and not using this info on the site itself, then the effort to strip this code becomes meaningless. I place my stripping functions in the application.cfm - so that every page I code is automagically protected from the script kiddies, without me having to worry about it on every page I write. (My functions loop through the Query parameters, and the form elements - guess I should include cookies in there too.) My two cents worth.

RE: SQL Attacks (was Forms and CF Code)
Don't forget the SQL attacks - similar to the type of attack we've been discussing, but not addressed thus far. Something like this: cfquery name=myQuery datasource=MyDSN Select * From MyTable Where SomeField = #Form.SomeField# /cfquery now if Form.SomeField were b'; use dbname; drop table tablename; --' then The original query would get executed with 'b' as the filter, but then standard SQL commands are issued. The --' ensures that anything following this point is treated as a comment. try it out on one of YOUR sites - except maybe replace the drop table statement with a select or something...

Re: CF 5 can't handle DB2 (was: Server running way too slow)
I assume that you have all of the shared variables locked?

Our requests were running so slow when I initially loaded CF 5 that I had to go back to CF 4.5, where it worked splendidly. Now I reinstalled CF 5 and page requests are taking way too long again. Way too long. PerfMon shows cached requests in the 100+ range (and running requests to 5 I think, which is the default setting in CFIDE - note that I have not changed these from 4.5, where the default settings worked). My conclusion is that it has something to do with CF5 and DB2. Most of our site accesses a DB2 back end but the whole site is slow. I'm connecting to DB2 via ODBC because we cannot get the native driver to work (is there a trick here! DANG!!!). I just don't see how CF can even be a factor here -- but how can it not? DB2 query processing times are fine (3 seconds), but the page comes up much later (35+ seconds). All of the relevant server settings are set to their defaults as they were with CF 4.5, though I made mods to them the first time I loaded CF 5 to no avail. Macromedia does not wish to hear from me until I fork over support $$$, which would be fine but as a govt agency we pay by voucher which can take weeks. Can someone bail me out?

sorry for the OT but only place I actually get some answers to my

I was wondering if somebody code point me in the right direction why
this form Validation won't work in NS6 it works great in IE.
in NS6 all it does is submit the form and no validation happens.
I have tested the function with out the credit card info in it and works
and I also tested the credit card info by it self and that works fine
but with them combined it doesn't work.

Re: OT was wondering if any Javascript guru's could give me a hand with this code
That's a whole lotta code. Have you tried placing alerts at different
points to see where it breaks? In order to figure out where your code is
breaking, someone would have to either read all of your code, or recreate
your form, since you didn't include the HTML. I doubt anyone will do
either.
Also, have you tested the code with older IE browsers? (4,5,5.5) I'm just
curious why you are using document.getElementById - as far as I know,
document.formName seems to work in all browsers.

We are running a very large app here with CF5.0 and DB2 with no issues at all re performance.

Go into CF Admin and turn on all debugging options if possible enter specific IP's so only these few the exploded benchmarking debug output. Check and re check for which files are slowing things down and look closely at the slow running pages, check for any Application, Server or Session scoped variable reads and writes. Look at your ColdFusion logs, particularly Application and Server, if they are huge don't despair. Look for any messages with thread, threading and/or unresponsive in them and hunt down the .cfm pages shown to contain these words, again look for unlocked Application, Server or Session scoped variables.

Our requests were running so slow when I initially loaded CF 5 that I had to go back to CF 4.5, where it worked splendidly. Now I reinstalled CF 5 and page requests are taking way too long again. Way too long. PerfMon shows cached requests in the 100+ range (and running requests to 5 I think, which is the default setting in CFIDE - note that I have not changed these from 4.5, where the default settings worked). My conclusion is that it has something to do with CF5 and DB2. Most of our site accesses a DB2 back end but the whole site is slow. I'm connecting to DB2 via ODBC because we cannot get the native driver to work (is there a trick here! DANG!!!). I just don't see how CF can even be a factor here -- but how can it not? DB2 query processing times are fine (3 seconds), but the page comes up much later (35+ seconds). All of the relevant server settings are set to their defaults as they were with CF 4.5, though I made mods to them the first time I loaded CF 5 to no avail. Macromedia does not wish to hear from me until I fork over support $$$, which would be fine but as a govt agency we pay by voucher which can take weeks. Can someone bail me out?

I'm guessing we were/are right on their tails and every one of those concepts would have been solved (perhaps in a better way, perhaps worse) without that industry. Or maybe not. Just a thought.

RE: VNC vs PC Anywhere
Has anyone had any experience using VNC from ATT - it seems reasonably good (and free) at first glance. Anything I should be aware of if we were to use it on a production box? Yes.

Re: Credit Card, TAG/Questions
I seriously doubt it would be that easy. Some processors utilize an HTTP post, some use a get, some have you tie into an API at a low level, etc. As such, there's no way of knowing if it integrates the same way as Authorize - if noone has written anything, you'll need to code it yourself.

Re: cfsearch - Improving indexing speed for DB collection.
The key only needs to be unique. Be that a unique path or a unique number I am not sure whether that matters speed wise. Using QueryAddRow() is a great method to combine database and file content in a collection and I haven't found it to rum *much slower. Certainly not ten times slower. Is it just the indexing that takes longer or does the search suffer as well?. Are you using CFHTTP or CFDIRECTORY to get the file content? I have several verity collections that index database records. It was behaving fine before when I indexed these collections. I have altered my code some, and it now indexes about twice as many pages, but takes at least 10x as long to execute. The only significant changes that I made are 1) I am adding rows to the query using QueryAddRow(), and 2) I changed they Key that is used from a numeric identity to a mixed number/text combination. Is it important that the key is an integer?

Re: Cache test
Instead of removing and replacing the cache attribute on your query, first set it to 0,0,0,0 then run it then remove it. Now it has been uncached and you should be able to add a new cache later. As many of you have noticed, I have dynamic banner ads and list information at the bottom of all list posts. Normally, this information is cached using a CFQUERY with a cachedwithin attribute set to 1 (which means 1 day). In order to test a new ad, I removed the cachedwithin attribute and all worked ok. When I placed it back in (without restarting the CF server) the old cached information was used rather than the newer. Has anyone seen anything similar in CF 5? __ Why Share?

Our requests were running so slow when I initially loaded CF 5 that I had to go back to CF 4.5, where it worked splendidly. Now I reinstalled CF 5 and page requests are taking way too long again. Way too long. PerfMon shows cached requests in the 100+ range (and running requests to 5 I think, which is the default setting in CFIDE - note that I have not changed these from 4.5, where the default settings worked). My conclusion is that it has something to do with CF5 and DB2. Most of our site accesses a DB2 back end but the whole site is slow. I'm connecting to DB2 via ODBC because we cannot get the native driver to work (is there a trick here! DANG!!!). I just don't see how CF can even be a factor here -- but how can it not? DB2 query processing times are fine (3 seconds), but the page comes up much later (35+ seconds). All of the relevant server settings are set to their defaults as they were with CF 4.5, though I made mods to them the first time I loaded CF 5 to no avail.

RE: Exporting data to Excel
If you are looking to export data to an Excel file for downloading or related purposes, the solution I am about to describe may be an option you wish to consider. You can also create XML files with the data in them to create the Excel spreadsheet you need. If you save them as .XLS files, Excel should open them on the fly. You can test this by creating a very basic file that has the code pasted below; or you can do something more elaborate by using your existing spreadsheet and saving the sheet as an HTML file. If you combine the multiple files that Excel creates (so that the styles are integrated in the main file), rename that file with a XLS extension, and open it, Excel will even maintain all of the format settings you have applied. It takes a little playing with it to get the precise results you want, but you can use the basic file exported from Excel as a template, then use CFFILE to create a file that the user can download and all will look exactly as you want it to. This is a very good way to maintain page margins, headers, footers, and other specific format options that are difficult to do in other fashions. This method has the added advantage of not having to deal with the Excel COM object, which can be a bit troublesome at times for a variety of reasons. Hope this helps...

Actually, setting it to plain 0 works as well. The general assumption would be that if you remove the cache info from a query it should uncache. Doesn't happen. Still, the real problem was it keeping the cache more than 24 hours. I'm going to have to play with this some more. I'll throw this up to the MM bug list not as a 'real' tech bug but as an assumption bug. Change the query attributes should also change the cache, not just changing the query code. At 01:19 PM 12/19/01, you wrote: Instead of removing and replacing the cache attribute on your query, first set it to 0,0,0,0 then run it then remove it. Now it has been uncached and you should be able to add a new cache later. As many of you have noticed, I have dynamic banner ads and list information at the bottom of all list posts. Normally, this information is cached using a CFQUERY with a cachedwithin attribute set to 1 (which means 1 day). In order to test a new ad, I removed the cachedwithin attribute and all worked ok. When I placed it back in (without restarting the CF server) the old cached information was used rather than the newer. Has anyone seen anything similar in CF 5? __ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
Re: Exporting data to Excel
Thanks. After taking a quick look through the tag gallery and seeing how a few of the tags worked, I realized that I was approaching it all wroing. All the tags do is write out HTML tables, which Excel happily imports. I'm not sure which versions of Excel support this, I'm guessing just Excel 97 and later. So all I'm doing is using cfheader and cfcontent and spitting out an HTML table containing the data. It seems to work well. Formatting isn't an issue in this application. The only reason the customer wants to get data in Excel is to print mailing labels for their quarterly snail-mail newsletter. Jim - Original Message - From: Chip Griffin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 11:35 AM Subject: RE: Exporting data to Excel If you are looking to export data to an Excel file for downloading or related purposes, the solution I am about to describe may be an option you wish to consider. You can also create XML files with the data in them to create the Excel spreadsheet you need. If you save them as .XLS files, Excel should open them on the fly. You can test this by creating a very basic file that has the code pasted below; or you can do something more elaborate by using your existing spreadsheet and saving the sheet as an HTML file. If you combine the multiple files that Excel creates (so that the styles are integrated in the main file), rename that file with a XLS extension, and open it, Excel will even maintain all of the format settings you have applied. It takes a little playing with it to get the precise results you want, but you can use the basic file exported from Excel as a template, then use CFFILE to create a file that the user can download and all will look exactly as you want it to. This is a very good way to maintain page margins, headers, footers, and other specific format options that are difficult to do in other fashions. This method has the added advantage of not having to deal with the Excel COM object, which can be a bit troublesome at times for a variety of reasons. Hope this helps...

Re: Cache test
Changing the query paramaters just loads a new query into the cache. Same name... different cached query. This is great because you will often have many people running different queries and they all get thier very own cached copy. The flip side is removing them all can be tricky. I like to set an Application variable to hold the query cache time and use the CachedAfter attribute rather than cached whithin. Then just re-set that Application.MyCache variable whenever you want to uncache all the slightly different queries. Change the query attributes should also change the cache, not just changing the query code. __ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists

Re: cf include file
I take it you have allready checked this link then: http://www.cfhub.com/html/include/index.cfm The CFINCLUDE tag is one of the simpler ones and any template you point it at will be included (and proccessed) What trouble are you having exactly? Perhaps a path error? I've looked around (Forta, Micah Brown, CFHub and others) and cannot find a way to include a file that would be processed by the server. I would like to include a list of holidays that I could use in more than one file. ie. cfif holiday do this cfesle do that /cfif cfinclude template doesn't work. Is there anything that does?

RE: Cryptogram
When I view the page with NS 4.7, the message (blue letters) and the red letters don't show up. The boxes are empty.

Re: Cryptogram
Known issue. Forgot to state in recent message that it is NS6 (still working on colors though) and IE 5+ (maybe 4+ havent tested) Uses way too much dhtml for NS4. Notice I am rewriting page constantly without server trip. I think it can be done in NS4 but havent done it yet.

RE: cf include file - doh!!!
sheepish grin it works now. thx all long story below, if you're interested :-) What doesn't work is to pull out part of the if-else into a template. !--- start --- cfloop index=myIndex from 1 to xxx fset getDate=- myIndex cfset weekDay = #DateFormat(DateAdd(d,getDate,Now()),mmm dd, YY)# cfset list_holidays = 20011212,20011213,20011217 cfif #DayOfWeekAsString(DayOfWeek(#weekDay#))# EQ Saturday OR #DayOfWeekAsString(DayOfWeek(#weekDay#))# EQ Sunday br cfelseif #list_holidays# CONTAINS #DateFormat(DateAdd(d,getDate,Now()),mmdd)# cfoutput font color=##99#DateFormat(DateAdd(d,getDate,Now()), dd, )#/fontbr /cfoutput // snip !--- end --- What works is to put the cfset ... into the include. Why didn't work earlier? Because there were other mistakes :-) But, if I put the cfelseif ... into the include then the page breaks apart. Of course, there's no need to do so in this case. Thx for your input. Your responses helped me find the error. gilbert midonnet -Original Message- From: Joseph Thompson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 3:03 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: cf include file I take it you have allready checked this link then: http://www.cfhub.com/html/include/index.cfm The CFINCLUDE tag is one of the simpler ones and any template you point it at will be included (and proccessed) What trouble are you having exactly?
