Railo MySQL data source / debugging template
Has anyone encounted the following two nasty issues using Railix (standalone Railo CF engine) on Linux (1.5 JVM) ? 1) The debugging can't be turned off (says variable memorylog doesnt exist in Form Scope when unticked). 2) MySQL datasource's give the following error when trying to save connection details: class [org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver] is not a JDBC Driver class must implement interface [java.sql.Driver] I've pinged the Railo peeps too, but they've not gotten back yet. -- Tom Chiverton Advanced ColdFusion Programmer ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:232982 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
RE: Annoyances with cfencode
Hmmm. So I gather that this behavior is what you see too? You work around it by not asking it to do more than one file at once? A bit odd that after all these years, basic functionality of this tool is so broken. Thanks, Dave Merrill Actually i've never used it, it was just an off the cuff remark... there might be a way to get it to work, maybe ask the rabid guy ;) As for these kinds of tools being broken: the silent command line installer on Unix insists on installing a developer version, even when you put the correct enterprise serial number in. It doesn't get fixed because it affects such a tiny number of people - which is probably the same thing happening here... /t ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:232983 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Source Control Choices
We're looking at changing our source control system but are having trouble finding something that seems suited to our needs. Basically, we have around six developers all working on our applications, checking into a dev server with VSS before running the code. From here the code goes to a test box then live. All our boxes are win2003 and IIS6. What we are looking for is something that makes the release process from server to server nice and easy, but also allows us to branch an app out of the way so that shared code can move past it in test and go live before the original code does (we have clients who insist on delaying go live dates :-() We can't really have local dev machines due to the sheer amount of code (~3mil lines) and applications (~ 50)we are controlling. Any ideas on how we might set something up that will let us do this? ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:232984 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: Source Control Choices
Hi Neil, This crops up regularly on this list so a search of the archives may be prove fruitful for you. We use CVS because our IDE of choice is CFEclipse and the CVS integration is part of the base eclipse product. We too have very large systems and several of them (although probably not as big as yours) and we do use local dev machines. So each PC has cf developer edition and IIS under WXP pro. CVS handles branching and it is made easy to manage by the tools in eclipse. SVN is the next generation of CVS and has fixed some CVS limitations so this is worth a look. Alot depends on the IDE you want to use and how important having it integrated to this IDE is. In terms of deployment CVS/SVN allow you to select a snapshot of code to release (in various ways) but how it moves from server to server is down to you. We have written a little CF app which provides a nice interface to some ANT scripts which are able to extract code from CVS and then copy it around. Hope all that helps! There are lots of choices, I chose CVS because it was tried and tested with lots of good tools. Good Luck!

One type of NULL NULL error solved!
Hi all, I actually found a solution to ONE of the multiple NULL NULL errors that I have encountered over the past year. Here is the setup. qryGetDate.theDate is populated with a date from the database. The object is to produce table headers for all the months up to that date. (extra code not shown) cfloop from=1 to=#month(qryGetDate.theDate)# index=Variables.theLoop th#left(monthAsString(Variables.theLoop), 3)#/th /cfloop The NULL NULL error came up when qryGetDate.theDate ended up being NULL. This of course wasn't supposed to happen, but the code to prevent the variable from being NULL had a flaw. Weird thing is I would have expected CFLOOP to throw an error that the TO was not a number. Fixed the code and one type of NULL NULL error went away.

Well, good point, I don't know. I guess what I gleaned from the original post was that this was the first place you posted. I'm pretty sure that others got the same vibe, but I can't speak for them. Usually, ppl put the disclaimer that they tried to contact the webmaster with the error, but since they didn't get back to them, blah blah blah. So, did you? :) BTW, this is quite the old post at this point, isn't it? I was surprised to see it revived!

Verity Error -1705
Hi all. I posted this to the CF forum on the Macromedia site but got no responses and spotted someone over there saying how this mailing list was a much better place to get answers anyway. So General Info: Windows Server 2003 / IIS CF 7,0,0,91690 Standard Default install location All collections in englishx Single server install (no clustering). The collections are created from queries and refreshed every fifteen minutes. There are no categories. The 2 collections in the example error below are average collections on the server and are 68/547 docs and 365/1,408 kb respectively. - I'm getting regular errors from verity which return the following: There was a problem executing the CFSearch tag with the following collections. Collection (status code): collection_name (-1705), collection_2_name (-1705) There are very few references to this error that I can find. When researching a while ago I came across a thread that I've found archived here: http://software.groupbrowser.com/printthread.php?t=179708. This thread mentions the collection language which I changed but still get the error. I have tried wrapping cflocks around the cfindex and cfsearch tags (i realise this is not current best practise) but still get the error. Sometimes the error is short lived - if I refresh the page the search is performed correctly. Other times it is permanent and requires manual restarting of the CF Search service - a point of note is that the K2Server service needs to have its process stopped in task manager as the restart command in services fails. I have no idea what else to try or what could be causing this. It's also hard to imagine I'm the only one experiencing the error (but maybe I am...). Can anyone help, offer advice or at least share similar experiences in an attempt to track down the cause?

Re: cfsavecontent and cfqueryparam
Nope, if you HAVE to put your SQL outside a CFQUERY tag, you have to use inline values. Make sure you're very careful about sanitizing any such values before using them, or you could be leaving yourself open to SQL injection attacks. And don't forget preserveSingleQuotes() when you dump the generated SQL into the CFQUERY tag. cheers, barneyb On 2/21/06, Russ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am trying to optimize some queries, and as such, trying to put several 1 row insert queries into one.

Announcing SeeStack: Free Stack Trace Analysis Utility
Greetings, all. We've been using a simple home-grown utility for parsing JRun/ColdFusion stack traces for some time now, and since so many of our consulting customers have asked us for such a tool, it occurred to us that the broader community might find it useful as well. You can upload a stack trace file (text mime-type only), or paste one into the tool. SeeStack loops over the trace, presents the stacks/threads in a more readable fashion, and reports some basic summary information about thread states at the point the trace was taken. No charge to use it, although we may offer a Pro edition down the road. Any and all feedback welcomed (use the SeeFusion Support address). You can find the tool here: http://www.seefusion.com/seestack/seestack.cfm Best, Patrick ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:233008 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

RE: Google indexing
Where the link shows up in Google's results is based on the PageRank. Higher pagerank = better listing. PageRank is calculated using various and ever changing means. One of the most significant is the links in to your site from other sites, since the actual goal of Google is to track how everything is related to each other. But Google has gotten good at filtering out link swapping and other means to artifically influence the score. Similarly, Google ignores the Keyword meta tags now because of people abusing them to get high scores. The things you can reliably do to ensure a good score are have the text that is being matched in the following locations: - h1 - First paragraph after h1 - title - url (typically in the filename) Additionally, when people link to your site, or for links within your own site, make the text of the link be the key search term, especially for in-context links (as opposed to nav bars). So if someone is searching for Bob Guiney photos: a href=photos.htmlBob Guiney's photo gallery/a is probably better than Bob Guiney's photo a href=gallery.htmlgallery/a But the rules keep shifting around.

RE: Google search appliance and Cold Fusion
We have a Google Mini here and generally like it. There's a really good reference here: http://code.google.com/gsa_apis/xml_reference.html [quote] A Google search request is a simple HTTP request to the Google search engine. The search request format and options available are detailed in the Request Format section. The search results are returned in the output format specified in the search request. Currently, Google supports output results in XML and HTML format. XML formatted results give you the power to customize the display of the results through the implementation of a custom XML parser. The HTML results can be customized through the application of an XSL stylesheet to the standard XML results. [/quote] One of the things I learned from that is that while the public Google search ignores the meta keywords by default, with a properly formatted search string you can tell it to not only use keywords but how to match specific meta tags. So if you have a good meta tag scheme, you can design interfaces that do custom searches on your site that target specific pages more accurately than just content text. http://code.google.com/gsa_apis/xml_reference.html#request_meta --- Kevin Graeme Cooperative Extension Technology Services University of Wisconsin-Extension -Original Message- From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 8:49 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Google search appliance and Cold Fusion Does anyone have any experience/recomendations/lessons learned about integrating a Google search appliance into a Cold Fusion server environment serving dozens of sites and hundreds of thousands of pages?

I don't see anyreason why you wouldn't be able to use the database that PHPbb uses and either import the usernames and passwords into what you're doing in CF or just feed off of the usernames and passwords directly. You could even do something where when they log into ColdFusion and they try to go to the forums that you pass the username and password into a page you create in PHP so that they are automatically logged on.

RE: A very specific message board/forum question...
Last I heard, someone on the list was working on a direct Open Source port of phpbb to CF. I believe it was being called cfmbb or cfbb or something like that. Not sure what the status is or if it's being continued, but it was an idea at one point.

RE: A very specific message board/forum question...
From: Jeff Small [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm looking at this board www.phpbb.com and would love to hear from anyone in the CF community who has experience with a CF equivalent. There really aren't any equivalents to the big PHP based forum apps. FuseTalk is a CF based forum app as is Galleon (Ray Camden's project). In my opinion FuseTalk lacks the familiar feel that the PHP apps offer and hasn't really peaked my interest (for a variety of reasons, one of which is cost). Galleon, is a simple, no frills, no BS app which is pretty slick; but again, not close to PHPBB in terms of that familiar look, feel, and feature set. Your best bet is to interface with one of the PHP apps or join the CFBB team and help finish that project... oh wait, that is dead in the water. :-) I have interfaced with vBulletin (another PHP forum app) and found it pretty easy to do. So many people ask this question which usually results in a group of people saying they want to create a CF based app that can rival the PHP ones, it has yet to happen. Tango. ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:233029 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: A very specific message board/forum question...
I just started using PHPbb on one of my sites and I am quite impressed with it. I don't see anyreason why you wouldn't be able to use the database that PHPbb uses and either import the usernames and passwords into what you're doing in CF or just feed off of the usernames and passwords directly. You could even do something where when they log into ColdFusion and they try to go to the forums that you pass the username and password into a page you create in PHP so that they are automatically logged on.

RE: A very specific message board/forum question...
Even easier than passing a username and password would be to generate a session key and set the cookie automatically. PHPBB just generates the key and stores in a cookie and stores it in the database. I've looked into making some CF code to do this, but we're currently having problems with PHPBB on the site we're using and so it hasn't been worth my time since we may not stick with it. The only thing to keep in mind here is that you need to find everywhere on PHPBB where they can control their usernames/passwords and remove those links or point them to your CF pages so that they can't change their PHPBB usernames/passwords to stuff different than your normal site because that will just get confusing. The other way to come at it would be to rewrite the php portions to login based on the scheme you're using on the CF side.

RE: A very specific message board/forum question...
Here's an idea, if you really need both apps and both sessions... 0) Add a column to phpbb user table which stores the CF-app's user table's ID (say, RealUserID) 1) Make the phpbb login form page redirect you to a CF login page for your regular site 2) log in there, and redirect to phpbb/CrossSiteLogin.php 3) you should have cfid and cftoken on all requests now, so just make CrossSiteLogin.php do a CFHTTP-like request (in php) using cfid and cftoken, to your website, calling GetUserID.cfm (which just spits out #session.userid#) and then set it automatically in the php session The only thing we're missing is some sort of session stickiness. I guess you can embed an img src=image.cfm in your php templates to keep the cf session alive while on phpbb - -Original Message- From: Jeff Small [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 3:31 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: A very specific message board/forum question...

Re: A very specific message board/forum question...
Get (and pay for) vBulletin - another php app, but heads and shoulders above phpBB. I'm sure there must be data migration scripts from php. Use the vBulletin database as your site's user base. You can authenticate user logins from CF against the vBulletin user database and you can take registrations and create new users within the vBulletin database from your CF apps. There's likely little that you'd want in a forum that isn't already in vBulletin.

Re: A very specific message board/forum question...
Several of the links got trunctated so here they are again: http://www.aftershockweb.net/forums/ http://www.phpbb.com/features.php http://www.aftershockweb.net/forums/threads.cfm/ForumId/19 I am looking to rewrite our Aftershock Forum using CFC's, see: http://www.aftershockweb.net/forums/ and would like to implement the most important phpBB features as shown on: http://www.phpbb. com/features.php. What are the most important features you are looking for? You can also post these feature requests on my features request forum at: http://www.aftershockweb.net/forums/threads.cfm/ForumId/19 (you can login as anonymous, or sign up for an account if you would like to subscribe to the thread). Also, I would invite others to be involved in the project. I would be willing to offer free licensing to those who make significant contributions, though we would need to move this off CF-Talk, and probably into a private forum (which we already support). Thank you, Aftershock Web Design, Inc. by: Stan Winchester President/Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.aftershockweb.com/ Phone 503-244-3440 Jeff, AFAIK, there are none. I've looked into this several times with no luck. There's no fair comparison to most CF boards and the open source PHP boards like vBulletin or phpBB. I wish an entrepreneurial CF company would create a CF board that matched feature to feature and then some! I'd buy it. ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:233050 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
RE: Google indexing
Hi Rick, From Google: http://www.google.com/technology/ A couple of useful commands in a Google search: index:www.mysite.com Shows which pages Google has indexed, if any, and is a way to see indicate whether a site may have been banned. links:www.mysite.com Shows how many back links you have. Take a look at the page your link sits on. If it has a low page rank the link is actually hurting your rankings, not helping. (These commands also work on MSN and Yahoo.) A useful way to see if you have bad links is an undocumented search command on Yahoo: linkdomain:mydomain.com This will show you all Yahoo back links to any page in your site. A useful way of finding out if you have links on good pages. Also, download the Google tool bar http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/options/ Google Tools: Toolbar This will show you the page rank on the page you are currently browsing. Don't even bother posting your link to a page if you see it has a PR below 3. Be very careful about following dodgey techniques that may get you a quick ranking until Google sees the cheat and may even bar the site completely. It can take months to get a site listed once it has been barred. Don't over do keyword useage hoping to score points. Get the keywords into key positions, but don't drown your page in them. High scoring positions for keywords are title h1-h6 b i ul ol. first and last words read be the SE on your page. To see how the SE sees your page a useful tool is http://www.goodkeywords.com/ which is also pretty good for keyword research. Keyword density is key. No more than 8 words in your page title, no more than 248 characters in your meta (or some search engines will reject your submission altogether). A pretty good piece of software to research and see how you are doing in rankings and back links is www.webceo.com (there is even a free version). SEO isn't everything. It is possible to spend huge amounts of time on SEO (and money) and get nowhere (in highly competitive markets) for a very long time and it may be as well to spend on Google Adwords to gain traffic either while you are waiting for SEO positioning, or even ditching SEO completely. First and foremost to get a good ranking is to have a site with good unique content that is easily navigable and easy to read. If you need any more pointers, or even my SEO consultancy, please drop me an email off list. Hope this helps, and good luck! Jenny -Original Message- From: Rick Root [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 21 February 2006 04:54 To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: Google indexing Okay... do a google search for bob guiney http://www.google.com/search?q=bob+guiney His site (which I built) is the first link.. which is good. And google also lists direct links to a couple of subpages.. BGB Imagery, Bob Guiney's Online Diary, Music, etc. How does google decide what to put up there? Click popularity? Of course they can't tell when you click on something, so maybe link popularity? Anyway, I didn't notice that google was doing this until just now when Bob asked me if we c ould axe the diary link from google. My initial idea is to just use a robots.txt file to prevent the diary from even being indexed.. clearly that would solve the problem, but is it the best solution?

Re: Source Control Choices
My company uses Perforce, which has a little learning curve but is a very cool product that supports everything you are looking for and more. Well worth a look, but unlike CVS/SVN, it is a commercial product. What we are looking for is something that makes the release process from server to server nice and easy, but also allows us to branch an app out of the way so that shared code can move past it in test and go live before the original code does (we have clients who insist on delaying go live dates :-() We can't really have local dev machines due to the sheer amount of code (~3mil lines) and applications (~ 50)we are controlling. Any ideas on how we might set something up that will let us do this? ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:233053 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Makes it very complex, because rather than: cfoutputYou have been successfully unsubscribed/cfoutput you get: cfoutput#Application.resourceBundle.getResource(message_topic_unsubscribe_success)#/cfoutput Plus, I went down the road of building it so that you could have multiple completely separate message boards in one database... and looking back, I see that's REALLY unnecessary.

Re: A very specific message board/forum question...
I knew you'd pop in here sooner or later paul :) It's probably a matter of that being my first foray into the resource bundle, and not really knowing what I was doing. CFMBB was also my first attempt at a CFC-based application... I've learned a bit about things to do and things not to do, and you just taught me one thing about cleaning stuff up. Like var scoping the resource bundle inside the component so make the code easier to read.. that makes sense. even cfset var getResource = application.resourceBundle.getResource which would let me do #getResource(blah)# inside my component, right? That'd make things easier and prettier. ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:233058 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

OT: embedding audio and playing with javascript
so, I'd like to add optional audio alerts to my chat app... and I did that using the embed tag and just had the javascript play the sound when appropriate. I used .au files for the audio. Some people surfed in and got the quicktime plugin alert because they were using mozilla and didn't have quicktime installed. I know *I* would find that to be obnoxious. I was thinking that using a flash movie to play the sounds might work better.. more likely to be installed. Javascript can cause actions to occur in flash movies, right? I've used actionscript to call javascript functions on a page before, but never used javascript to trigger an event in the flash movie. Ultimately, I'd just like a little 1x1 flash movie that could play 2-3 sounds.. which would be configurable via url parameter to the flash movie itself... and then allow javascript to play the different sounds by calling some kind of actionscript method... playSound(1) playsound(2) etc. Rick ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:233070 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
RE: coldfusion and SQL2005
According to Microsoft you would need a CAL for each web user (as they are technically running queries on your database). Personally I think this is ridiculous, but this is MS's official stance. So unless you have an intranet, I'm not sure if you can get away with CAL licensing.
