Re: CFPop with specific folders?
Hi Qing Xia, If you wish to use cfimap w/ Gmail, here are a couple of things you may want to watch out for: - When polling Gmail, the item counts returned by cfimap may not match the same in Gmail (Gmail bug). - When retrieving emails from Gmail, an email labeled x times, may be downloaded x times (Gmail quirk). However, you should not see these issues if you use cfimap to connect to an IMAP-compliant mail server (instead of Gmail). Thanks!, -Aaron Neff say I want to download all email messages in my CFTalk folder off my Gmail account...how would I go about doing that? ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Creating documentation
Yes, your right. Although I am the only one on the team. I constantly find myself having to study up on a portion of code I wrote years, or actually even just months ago, because I can't remember what the heck I was thinking. I also find that creating documentation forces me to think through stuff a little better. Also, if something were to happen to me, I would like a resource that my business could turn to that would help keep tings going. But, this is mainly for internal purposes. I guess I should also consider documentation for users, but right now I am more interested in documentation for my own reference.

Trac isn't bad, but I would just like to hear what everyone uses to create documentation. Thanks, -- David Mineer Jr - The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something.

Re: CFPop with specific folders?
Well, well, this just proves my theory--ColdFusion has a tag for EVERYTHING! [?] I've got CF8 running on my personal development machine because I am preparing for the certificate exam. I'm going to install CF9 instead and try this out! Thanks!! You guys are the best!

Re: CFDocument vs Underline
Just a little update on my problem after digging with Adobe. CF 8.0.0 had all the scaling and such in CFDocument tag messed up. You are supposed to apply hotfix 3 to correct it. It mostly does that but underlining still doesn't work right. CF 8.0.1 also needs hotfix3 applied to correct the scaling. The underline issue is fixed but they introduced a new bug. The css colors aren't the same anymore. font-color=blue in 8.0.1 is not the same blue in CF 8.0.0 CF 9 fixes both these issues, bringing us back to the way the tag worked in CF 7. Well, at least the scaling, underlining, and colors are fixed. I don't know if there is anything else wrong. We haven't applied hotfix4 so I don't know what effect that will have. I doubt we will since we are pushing to go to CF9. None of the underline or color issues are mentioned in the release notes. From Adobe: Tag behavior usually should not change, but bugs that are found and subsequently fixed means that the original faulty behavior has been changed to correct behavior, so there is always a possibility that the behavior might change between versions and we strongly recommend reviewing the release notes for the new version you are testing to review any bug fixes and new functionality/behavior changes included. Another thing Adobe always recommends is to thoroughly testing your applications when changing version of CF to ensure everything works correctly and increase the probability of catching unexpected changes. Nothing is constant from version to version or hotfix. Mine is a good example of subtle changes that can make you nuts. Since I know my code works in CF 8.0.0 HotFix3, I'm going to stick with this version and work around the underlining issue. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Charting in CF8
Hi, I am looking for a charting component that allows the user to 1 show multiple series in 1 chart 2 show a value scale for each series 3 toggle each serie on/off 4 zoom in an part of the chart Option 1 is possible with Coldfusion built-in cfchart, 2, 3 and 4 not - as far as I can see. I already checked Powercharts, FusionCharts and Webcharts 3d. None of these offer all features mentioned. Does anyone know of a solution that offers all of these features?

Re: CFPop with specific folders?
Good tips about gmail. Thanks Aaron! You're very welcome Leigh, and, likewise, thanks very much for the tip (the other day in the Adobe forums) about the undocumented cfpdfform 'name' attribute! I meant to follow-up on that thread w/ some more info, but lost track. I will tho.. soon! Hope the cfimap tag works for you Qing Xia!

Re: CFPop with specific folders?
- When polling Gmail, the item counts returned by cfimap may not match the same in Gmail (Gmail bug). You are right on this one, Aaron. Gmail groups messages by conversation, which is really just the email subject lines. For example, I've got this Gmail folder that has 8 conversations but 15 individual email messages. However, when I used CFImap to download all messages in that folder, I got only 10! Upon closer examination, I saw that this is because 5 of the email messages are from me myself but they got grouped in the conversations because they share the subject lines with those who legitimately belong in this folder. I guess if you think about this, it sort of makes sense since the email messages sent by me are really in the sent folder and they only appear in the conversation groups for the sake of completeness. But this grouping really does create confusion. - When retrieving emails from Gmail, an email labeled x times, may be downloaded x times (Gmail quirk). Yep, you are right on this, too. I guess this is another hazard of the Gmail system of virtual folders/labels, where a message can have multiple labels. Not necessarily a bad thing but definitely something to watch out for. However, you should not see these issues if you use cfimap to connect to an IMAP-compliant mail server (instead of Gmail). Yep, Yahoo has no problem with these issues since they don't allow 1-to-many relationship between email messages and folders. BTW, it is disappointing that CFImap does not allow lists in the folder attribute. You've got to use the cfimap action=GetHeaderOnly... tag twice to get two folders. Maybe something to add to the wish list for CF10! [?] Great ideas Aaron, thanks for sharing! Thanks Leigh for the code example, that really helped. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: CFPop with specific folders?
about the undocumented cfpdfform 'name' attribute! Funny, I did not even realize it was _not_ documented for cfpdfform until you said that. At least that explains why I did not suggest it originally. I was hoping it might just be an omission in the documentation. But I cannot tell much from the error messages. They are giving mixed signals ;-) 1) Required attributes: 'action,source'. Optional attributes: 'destination,name,overwrite,overwritedata,xmldata'. 2) Attribute validation error for tag CFPDFFORM. It does not allow the attribute(s) NAME. The valid attribute(s) are ACTION,FDFDATA,OVERWRITE,RESULT,SOURCE,XMLDATA. (Make up your mind folks..) -Leigh ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: CFHTTP weirdness - Connection Timeout
In looking further at the headers, I've found that the content-length header is not provided by the server I'm accessing. This shouldn't be a big deal as the remote server indicates when the transmission is done. But when the remote server sends the FINISH flag to Coldfusion, CF does not terminate the connection as my web browser does. CF isn't responding when the remote server terminates the connection. It acknowledges the command, but doesn't actually close the connection like it should. This sure seems like a bug in CF to me. Is there any way around this or any way to get CF to support the HTTP protocol correctly? Hi Jared Did you ever get to the bottom of this. I've got the same issue with CF9/IIS7/Vista.

Re: CFHTTP weirdness - Connection Timeout
sounds like you need to terminate the connection with CF when the FINISH flag is returned irrespective of the content length I'm not sure how you'd do this with coldfusion but I'd imagine it was possible.. I hope you find the answer as this appears to be a very legitimate problem with cfhttp. Andrew.
