Update Record by Date then pick Random from Query
I have been making a ad system that randomly selects a ad. Code below works. !--- Calls up record table --- CFQUERY DATASOURCE=#request.dsn# NAME=GetADs SELECT top 1 * FROM dbo.#request.stationName#_banner_top WHERE (page_location = 'Front Page') OR (page_location2 = 'Front Page') OR (page_location3 = 'Front Page') OR (page_location = 'Every Page') OR (page_location2 = 'Every Page') OR (page_location3 = 'Every Page') ORDER BY newID() /CFQUERY Now though I want to add the function of disabling the ad if the date_remove passes. To disable I want the status column to be 1 instead of 0. Then I want to randomly pick an ad from a list of the enabled ads only. This is what I came up with. I call all the records then loop through them and if they are old then change the status to disable(1). cfset todayDate = Now() cfset todayDate2 = #dateformat(todayDate, 'mm/dd/')# !---Calls all records so I can loop--- CFQUERY DATASOURCE=#request.dsn# NAME=GetADsAll SELECT * FROM dbo.#request.stationName#_banner_top /CFQUERY !---Loop though GetADsAll if Remove Date is Old then Disable--- cfloop query=GetADsAll cfif #GetADsAll.date_remove# LT #todayDate2# CFQUERY datasource=#request.dsn# name=qDisableAd UPDATE dbo.#request.stationName#_banner_top SET status = 1 WHERE ADID = #GetADsAll.ADID# /CFQUERY /cfif /cfloop I know its all pieced together noob-like so if any help cleaning it up would be greatly appreciated. So my problem from here is taking the two parts and putting them together where the random query only shows the records with the status of 0(enabled) I tried putting this code with an AND status = 0 but that doesnt seem to work.. even the 1s show. !--- Calls up record table --- CFQUERY DATASOURCE=#request.dsn# NAME=GetADs SELECT top 1 * FROM dbo.#request.stationName#_banner_top WHERE (page_location = 'Front Page') OR (page_location2 = 'Front Page') OR (page_location3 = 'Front Page') OR (page_location = 'Every Page') OR (page_location2 = 'Every Page') OR (page_location3 = 'Every Page') AND status = 0 ORDER BY newID() /CFQUERY ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:322143 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Update Record by Date then pick Random from Query
Try adding parenthesis around all the ORs, so: SELECT top 1 * FROM dbo.#request.stationName#_banner_top WHERE status = 0 AND ( page_location = 'Front Page' OR page_location2 = 'Front Page' OR page_location3 = 'Front Page' OR page_location = 'Every Page' OR page_location2 = 'Every Page' OR page_location3 = 'Every Page' ) ORDER BY newID() Dominic 2009/5/4 Sin Tec tooles...@gmail.com: SELECT top 1 * FROM dbo.#request.stationName#_banner_top WHERE (page_location = 'Front Page') OR (page_location2 = 'Front Page') OR (page_location3 = 'Front Page') OR (page_location = 'Every Page') OR (page_location2 = 'Every Page') OR (page_location3 = 'Every ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:322144 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Session variable wierdness
I've got an issue with session variables that keeps popping up in my log files. I do a check at the beginning of templates that check for the existence of a certain session variable, and bounce them out to a different page if necessary. But then later on in the same template, I'm getting a failure of the existence of that session variable. Something like so: Line 1-4: make sure session + other variables exist, if not, bounce to login page. Line 5: cfif not isdefined(session.templateID)cflocation url=chooseTemplate.cfm/cfif Line 400: cfoutput#session.templateID#/cfoutput Line 400 generates an error saying that session.templateID is undefined. I cannot replicate this at all, but it shows up 3-4 times a day in my logs. Can anybody shed some light on this extremely puzzling behavior? I'm still stuck on CF 7 if that makes a difference.

Re: Update Record by Date then pick Random from Query
Maybe I mis-understood what you said about this, but you mentioned a complex process for determining which ones are active still. If you have column in the table for each banner that represents the date it expires, then you can use this directly as a filter to prevent it's selection. You don't need to loop over and manually expire each one. Like this: SELECT top 1 * FROM dbo.#request.stationName#_banner_top WHERE date_remove #CreateODBCDate(Now())# AND status = 0 AND ( page_location = 'Front Page' OR page_location2 = 'Front Page' OR page_location3 = 'Front Page' OR page_location = 'Every Page' OR page_location2 = 'Every Page' OR page_location3 = 'Every Page' ) ORDER BY newID() HTH =] -- Alan Rother Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Manager, Phoenix Cold Fusion User Group, AZCFUG.org ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:322146 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

billing
Does anyone give price breaks for quantity of hours in a project? Usually I quote jobs, but this latest one they just said go do it and we have racked up 400+ hours and I think they are going to freak out when they see the bill. We have worked with the company many times in the past so I feel I have to keep my pricing similar to what we have billed before. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:322148 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
RE: billing
Chad, Speaking from fairly vast experience I would say the following: 1) Agree in advance on the rate. 2) Find a way to communicate these hours are racking up as it happens. The worst thing is to surprise them. You really want to work hard to communicate as the hours are worked so they have all the bad news up front. 3) If you break the rate down based on size or scope then make it based on advanced payment or immediate payment. We offer a reduced rate to customers who buy hours in advance and that has helped both our cash flow and our negotiating position tremendously. Sometimes we also offer a discount to paygo customers for immediate payment. The discount works out to a bit of a break off of our highest rate, but still less of a break than our block hours customers. -Mark Mark A.

RE: billing
A practice I usually do is invoice weekly on a project. I rarely do 'quoted' jobs anymore, however I do give a guesstimate if the client wants one. I don't have the relationship that you have with your client, but if you have racked up legitimate hours on a project, I would charge them full price. If you want to give them a 'forever' discounted rate, then you can discount the billing on the invoice, but let the client know what the original price was. I would not suggest discounting the billing, at least not until the client has asked for it, and given sufficient reason.

Re: billing
I've seen this for ongoing, monthly, recurring hours (only) where you'd auto-bill them for use-em-or-lose-em hours with a price structure something like: 4 hrs/month - $400 8 hrs/month - $720 16 hrs/month - $1280 etc ...with extra hours available as-needed @ the most expensive rate...

Re: billing
It depends on the value you provided. Is the program worth the $40,000 or so? Will they be making a lot of money off of it? If so, I wouldn't discount it after the fact. Do what you did on the previous projects.. that is what they are expecting. If the website doesn't appear elaborate, they are going to freak out seeing such a bill, but if it is obvious that it took a lot of work, there shouldn't be a problem. What I do in cases like this is send in weekly updates on what has been done, showing them what is accomplished to get feedback on it, and also tell them how many hours were put in so far.. So they can see if it starts to get out of hand.It is probably too late for you, but you could show them what you have so far and how many hours have been used, and tell them what needs to be done to finish the project, and offer to cut some features if they reached thier budget.

RE: billing
Thanks for all the feedback. The original site was a $20k project in 2002. Now this redesign which is more complex is hitting the $40k range. I went back and looked closer at all the billing we have done in the past ( I was not in charge at that time of billing ) and I feel this new price is legitimate for the amount of labor we have in it. For these projects in the future I will be doing weekly billing... I have always liked to tell the customer that we wont bill them until the project is complete and they are absolutely happy with the result according to the quote we provide. I kind of got in that mindset and did not want to charge them until the project was done. Thanks!

RE: billing
In the case of 'no pay until complete', the situation has arisen in the past where the concept of 'complete' was at issue. We worked it out well, and both of us got good on the deal, but hopefully mentioning this will work as a word of caution... Clients don't always know the 'ins and outs' of our business, so their terminology tends to differ. (I recently have had the same functionality called different things in a meeting - modal window, ajax exploder, grayedout popup window..., just as an example). The differences between 'not complete' and 'additional functionality' is an area where some customers don't see the difference. Part of our jobs with customers like this is not only to protect ourselves with policies that make sense, is also to help educate the client. I have worked with people who require a portion up front before getting started, sometimes with 'milestones' for the next portion of the money. I have worked with people who start on a hand-shake. I have worked with people who invoice periodically (like I do). The most important thing is to do things in a way that makes you feel fiscally protected and the client understands/accepts. If you do things on a 'special' basis to win a client over, make sure that the 'special' method is an introductory thing and that in the future they will adhere to your current methodology. Be careful. As there are many supposed programmers out there that will take a client's money and never produce any results, there are many client's out there that will take your productivity and refuse to pay you for your work, sending you to a lawyer to recover your fees.

The original site was a $20k project in 2002. Now this redesign which is more complex is hitting the $40k range. I went back and looked closer at all the billing we have done in the past ( I was not in charge at that time of billing ) and I feel this new price is legitimate for the amount of labor we have in it. For these projects in the future I will be doing weekly billing... I have always liked to tell the customer that we wont bill them until the project is complete and they are absolutely happy with the result according to the quote we provide.
