Re: Rampant fraud attempts from my site - Can I limit Number of Emails/Hour?
If your site currently allows users to send E-mails directly via the site, you might want to introduce a buffer that logs all E-mails to send to a database table, then processes that table on a background thread using a scheduled task. On that background thread you can do analysis before sending out the E-mails to identify suspicious E-mails and place holds on them. If you notice they are all coming from the same IP address, you can add a system to ban specified IP addresses. If you notice they are all coming from the same country, you can block entire countries in your firewall. In my experience, banning entire counties is quite effective. If fraud is really a problem you can implement a system like banks, healthcare providers, and eBay use where you have a secure messaging system inside of your Web site. Messaging systems are non-trivial to implement though. Good luck, Mike Chabot On Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 2:20 PM, Rick King kingrick...@hotmail.com wrote: OK, I think I can figure that out.

user-generated rich text on coldfusion page
My (non-html-writing) customer wants to use ms-word to generate a portion of a coldfusion page. The idea is they can generate a file (.doc or .rtf or whatever) that I include on the page. I've looked at various tags including cfcontent, cfdocument, cfinclude to try to find out how to include the rich text from a word document into the page seamlessly. I've tried saving the word doc as a doc, xps and rtf to no avail. They want to bullet, change font color, font size etc so a simple entry of text into a database won't work. Any Suggestions? ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: user-generated rich text on coldfusion page
The new version of CKeditor 3.x is pretty nice. It was FCKEditor. Adobe uses FCK 2.x in it's rich text verrsion of cftexarea. http://ckeditor.com/ It has a feature Paste from Word. I have not tried it but it might be worth looking at. As a word of warning. Inline wysiwyg editors can create some pretty dodgy html and repeated formating can create some pretty horrific HTML. I have not been very happy with the results at times but for simple formatting it does the trick. Ian has a good point as well. There are apps out there that can clean up Word's HTML, which is ugly as sin. HTH G!

Check out the Query...() functions such as QueryNew(), QueryAddColumn() and etc. The other option to consider is to use SQL Server (or whatever your back-end database is) to do the heavy-lifting data manipulation.

Re: Rampant fraud attempts from my site - Can I limit Number of Emails/Hour?
I had that problem.. and the danger is that if there is too much spam, the sellers will leave your site and go elsewhere because it isn't worth thier time.. so you need to stop it. What I did was set up a system where the form submission saves the email to a database and a human has to approve it manually. I have a screen where the pending emails are listed and there is a radio button next to each message for send or delete. You can sort them in any way - like by ip address of sender, email of sender, email of recipient, etc.. I also have a way to add a sender's email or ip address to a block list and also to add key phrases (like pay more than you ask )to a block list then when this admin page is displayed, I check each message to see if any part is blocked - if so, I display it as red with a default of delete, if not it is green with a default of send. I just glance down the list - looking for one person sending multiple messages and see if they look legitimate or not.. I can quickly process a lot. I do it maybe 20 times a day. but if you have a huge volume, hire someone to do it I am finding that about 2/3 of all submissions are spam now. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Hey Patrick, Not knowing anything about the database server type, table structures, current queries, data types or end use goals it's very hard to make any recommendations. It's like asking someone, what's the best way to get here and not sharing the starting or ending points or how you want to get there (car, boat, plane, bike, walk).

Re: user-generated rich text on coldfusion page
I also suggest the 'Paste from Word' feature in FCKEditor. It is perhaps the best method of moving content from Word to Web. The only issue is Word can do much more then text so if the user tries to insert a photo and expects the graphics to automatically move into the editor, that will cause problems. There needs to be some level of understanding to the limitations of Word to HTML. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

On 2/9/10, Rick King wrote: I have a site I built where people can sell their used wedding dresses. Lately, I'm getting a ton of fraud attempts from the site. Basically, Someone will use the site to contact the seller of an item, and attempt to fraud them out of their money (bad checks, paying more money than the seller is asking for, etc). The reason people spam (in your case not for meds but for their fraudulent activities) is because it is a cost efficient way to get a message to people. All your attempts through filters etc. are ways to increase the cost per message indirectly through decreasing the number of messages that get delivered. In my experience making that indirect mechanism an explicit cost factor is the best way to decrease spam: charge a fee for people who want to send more than 3 messages per day.

RE: user-generated rich text on coldfusion page
I use FCK Editor (now ckeditor) in my CMS - and I have had very good results with it - as far as my customers being able to edit code. (And myself for that matter) But yeah - make sure they use the paste from word button - or the code they paste in will be nasty. Paste from word does a pretty good job of only pasting the text and not all the extra word garbage... It also has a pretty good file manager plugin so your users can manage the pictures on the server... This will probably be your biggest hurdle - - your users will think they can cut and paste the graphics from Word into the Editor - and it may take a bit of education/hand holding to explain how it works. (They will also think they can upload pics directly from their digital camera and have them show up sized as well...

Re: IDE for coldfusion 9
Adam, Thanks for the feedback. My comment was based mostly on heresy and existing Adobe product costs. I have not seen any official pricing yet. Many of the numbers circulating around were near the $300 mark. I understand that it's not meant to be a revenue builder, but I assume that Adobe will want to at least recuperate a fair amount of its development costs. Maybe with the growing .NET community, in addition to the (arguably similar and still free) Eclipse IDE, Adobe will eat much of the cost in order to sustain their market share. -Brandon On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 11:25 AM, Adrocknaphobia adrocknapho...@gmail.comwrote: Brandon, What would you consider an arm and a leg?

Re: IDE for coldfusion 9
I suspect that the point is more that the pricing on CFB is, as of yet, unknown, so it becomes a question of whether you want to spend a lot of time becoming familiar with a product which will likely be a commercial product (with unknown pricing) or with a tool that you know will continue to be free. Obviously the calculus will change when Adobe finally puts out pricing info for CFB. I suspect that the adoption group will differ depending on whether it is priced at $49 or $349. As for why anyone would think it might cost an arm and a leg, I would suggest that the most likely comparison is to Flex Builder. And as of Flex Builder 3, there are two versions, costing $249 and $699. Visual Studio 2008 comes in at $299 and $799. So it is not unreasonable to presume that CFBuilder would be priced somewhere in that range.

Honestly, there is no reason to *not* to think that it will not cost an appendage or two. Adobe products are not cheap. Flex builder is what? $250-300.

The price for ColdFusion 9 has not gone up at all and the rise in cost of ColdFusion 8 was the first in 8 years and we were able to isolate that to Enterprise edition only.

Re: dev licensing
Yup. We updated the ColdFusion 9 license to allow for no-cost development, testing and staging environments. You just use the same serial number as your production version. We also included a cloud license as well. Meaning, if you are running ColdFusion Standard or Enterprise in a traditional environment, you can also install additional instances to a cloud provider like Amazon EC2 or Microsoft Azure at no extra charge. Standard edition allows for 1 cloud instance and Enterprise allows for 10. The idea is that if you are looking to migrate to a cloud, we didn't want to penalize you during the migration. Also, we wanted to support the concept of cloud-bursting, where you fire up a cloud instance to handle excessive traffic or to off-load intensive operations like reporting, pdf gen, etc. -Adam On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 1:47 PM, Gerald Guido gerald.gu...@gmail.comwrote: I have not had time to look into the dev licensing.

Re: dev licensing
We also included a cloud license as well. Meaning, if you are running ColdFusion Standard or Enterprise in a traditional environment, you can also install additional instances to a cloud provider like Amazon EC2 or Microsoft Azure at no extra charge. Standard edition allows for 1 cloud instance and Enterprise allows for 10. The idea is that if you are looking to migrate to a cloud, we didn't want to penalize you during the migration. Also, we wanted to support the concept of cloud-bursting, where you fire up a cloud instance to handle excessive traffic or to off-load intensive operations like reporting, pdf gen, etc. Well now, that just shaved a few grand off our budget.

Re: Rampant fraud attempts from my site - Can I limit Number of Emails/Hour?
Thanks guys, some good ideas here. Yep, that is exactly what is happening. Sellers are getting tired of receiving so many fraudulent emails, they're starting to go to other sites. 2/3 ratio sounds about right. I was hoping to avoid implementing some sort of manual/human intervention of the emails since the site doesn't generate enough income to really justify the increased labor. But, I suppose if I want to keep the site up and running, I'll have to look at that solution. Is it possible to prohibit specific countries, or, rather only allow 1 or 2 countries to send email via the site? Not sure how to do this. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Rampant fraud attempts from my site - Can I limit Number of Emails/Hour?
If you are allowing users to send the emails from the site, are you requiring sign-in before sending? If so, it would seem you should have total control over who is sending, how many they can send, etc. If you aren't requiring sign-in, then implement that first. On sign-in, set a flag that allows or disallows based on criteria such as location, IP, etc. You could even get a list of blacklisted IPs and block those entirely. Also, you could put a message on a blocked attempt that allows the sender to contact you if they feel they have been blocked in error. Legit users will use that, fraudulent ones won't.

No, currently you do not need to sign in to send an email to a seller, you only need to sign in to list your item. I was thinking it might discourage legitimate buyers from contacting sellers.

Re: IDE for coldfusion 9
If that were the case, I would agree with you. But the fact is, ColdFusion Builder does _a lot_ more than CFEclipse. I won't get into a marketing pitch, but I'd invite you to take a closer look. Of course, if there is anything you think we could add to make it worth more than $50, then I'd love to hear it. -Adam On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 1:30 PM, Rick Faircloth r...@whitestonemedia.comwrote: I certainly don't see CFB as worth any more than $50 since it doesn't seem to provide anything different than CFEclipse, which is still free. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: IDE for coldfusion 9
Thanks for the input Wil. I agree with you on 1, 2 and 5. These were all features that we researched and discussed throughout the development of Bolt. Unfortunately, other features were rated a higher priority so we had to push these into Storm (CB2). We knew from the beginning that there would be no way we could cover every feature from CFEclipse, Dreamweaver and HomeSite/Studio in our initial release. In fact, that's why we began planning for CB2 and CB3 months ago. Glad to hear that we're headed in the right direction. As far as performance goes, it's something we are tracking very closely. I can say that each subsequent build gets faster and faster. In between releases we'll be refactoring a large part of the editor in an attempt to dramatically boost performance.

Re: IDE for coldfusion 9
I think that there is also a difference between requires a CF server and requires Adobe Coldfusion 9. I appreciate some of the integration with CF9. However, I also still do work on CF8 and an increasing amount on Railo. Railo adoption seems to be on the uptick and that is something to consider. CFEclipse does not have the same integration features that CFBuilder does for CF9. On the other hand, CFEclipse works exactly the same way regardless of which CFML engine I am using. I suppose that I could use CFBuilder for CF9 and CFEclipse for CF8 and Railo, but that seems rather messy to me. And neither CFBuilder nor CFEclipse will really make me happy as an IDE until it is able to find the methods and method signatures of CFCs that I inject into my handlers via autowire DI. If you could do that, well, then you might start justifying a price tag on the level of Visual Studio.

Adobe isn't looking for a pay day on CB so you shouldn't expect to have to part with your appendages. :-) -Adam On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 12:02 PM, Brandon brandonregis...@gmail.com wrote: I tried CFBuilder for several months and finally got fed up with glitchy code-folding.

Adam, I think the main issue for many is that CFBuilder ORM capabilities are the real selling point over CFEclipse. Once people migrate to CF9, there will be a real reason to buy it. At this point, most of us are stuck with CF8 or less so CFB that much better than the alternative. I am using CFB beta 3 and it isn't ready for prime time yet. I hope Adobe engineers are hard at work updating b3 into b4 and are not going to rush the boxed version out the door yet. I sure hope that those engineers weren't on a RIF list. I want Adobe to make money so they can keep employees on the payroll and support us developers with documentation and training. My hope is that they will have a beta 4 that will fix the significant issues with beta 3. I think that $150 to 200 for CFB would be a fair price if it relieves me of having to reinstall CFEclipse and mess with a bunch of plug-ins, etc. If the funds would go to an active development team, I would be very happy. You probably would be too. Right now, I consider a price of $250 like Flex Builder to be too much for most people outside of high end companies. I did put it in my budget for 2010, but that was before I used it extensively.

Line debugging question
When I use the default port (5505 I think) for line debugging, I cannot restart the CF service. I used netstat -a and it was not on the list. Now what do I do - do I have to reinstall CF?

Legitimate buyers won't object to logging in. Allowing your site to be used to send email without any screening of the sender is an invitation to disaster.

And look at my feature requests here http://cfbugs.adobe.com/bugreport/flexbugui/cfbugtracker/main.html#bugId=774 40 I use CFBuilder all day everyday. Overall not to bad. There are a fair number of reports about CFB being slow in certain tasks. And I experience this. It is also painfully slow with SVN integration; SubClipse or Subversive. However, it is faster on my MacBook Pro than my Win XP Pro work computer. And this is not perceived time, but actual measured time and really only in VERY VERY large CF applications. I'm not sure if this is purely the SVN client at issue or if it is the integration of the SVN client and CFB. Heck it could even be the crappy Windows file system as compared to the OS X file system. BY large SVN Repo I mean 58,000+ files in 17,000+ folders and somewhere around 400+Mb. Yes, our app is that big. At this point - I'd pay maybe $99 tops for CFB.

In the worst case, you could remove the bit from jvm.config that enables debugging. Alternatively, you could try running CF as an application, and see where it breaks down during startup.

Possible switch to CFEclipse
I do not want to start a flame here, just get some information to help me make a decision. I am using CF8 and not yet ready for CF9. I am currently using Homesite+ for my IDE and would like to know what the requirements are for installing Eclipse and CFEclipse on my 32 bit dual core laptop w/3 gigs of ram. I do not know anyone who is currently using it which is why I am asking here. I do not do any Java programming at all and am planning on using it to replace Homesite if that is possible and maybe get some advise from all of you. If you recommend Eclipse, which package and other plugins do I need as well? Terry ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Possible switch to CFEclipse
Well, the question here is more - what do you do outside of cfml editing? I tend to download the Eclipse Java EE developer package that has the Eclipse Web Tool Plugins (WTP) installed by default - so that covers some straight HTML, XML and JS files. Some people prefer Aptana studio for that, but they can work side by side easily. If you are looking at doing database querying through Eclipse, you can look at the Eclipe Data Tools Plugins (DTP). This can be a little tricky to set up, and provides decent database support, but a vendor specific client tends to be better - YMMV. The next question is - are you using source control? If so, which one? Each has at least 1 plugin at its disposal depending on what you are doing. Are you doing unit testing? The mxUnit plugin is a must if you are. I could go on, but really it boils down to - what do you want Eclipse to do for you?

RE: Possible switch to CFEclipse
I think you'll find that the majority oif public CF developers use CFEclipse, or CFBuilder. It's robust (if a bit of a memory hog), it's extensible (if a little overwhelming sometimes), and it's highly configurable (if a little confusing). It took me a few years to really feel comfortable with it, but now it would be hard to imagine using anything other than an Eclipse based IDE. andy -Original Message- From: Terry Troxel [mailto:te...@it-werks.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 8:24 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Possible switch to CFEclipse I do not want to start a flame here, just get some information to help me make a decision.
