On an intranet you could do some DNS voodoo to hijack a google DNS
name and set some cookies from that DNS name. But if you go that way
you should take a moment to consider the security consequences of
messing with Google accounts.


 I realize that this problem is the same trying to access any Google services 
 and this is not just Analytics specific.

Which is why I don't think your clients will be happy if you do this.
Imagine having Gmail open in one tab with an almost complete message,
clicking your intranet link for the statistics and suddenly being
logged out from your own Gmail account and into another Google account
for the analytics.

Re: Make HomeSite+ Open Source? (WAS: RE: Development Apps - Does anyone use homesite still?)

2010-03-10 Thread Michael Dinowitz

I've been planning to update Homesite's expression builder and docs to
ColdFusion 9 for a while now. It's just been on the back burner while
I do paying projects. I'll eventually get around to it but if it was
for pay rather than for community support, it would get done a LOT
faster. Either way, it'll still get done though.

If someone does step up to the plate to do this, I can dig up a copy
of Nate Weiss's visual VTML editor for them to use (I usually edit
VTML by hand). I can also comment a bit on where things are under the
hood in Homesite and what has to be done. Once you know where
everything is and how to alter it, all you have to do is write some
regex to parse the docs and build the files. Yes, I make it sound easy
because it is. :)

 How much would you be willing to pay for that?

Re: Development and Testing Environment Recommendations

2010-03-10 Thread Jessica Garruto

We are fortunate enough to operate in an environment where we are alotted ample 
hardware resources, so we can operate separate physical servers if that's the 
recommendation. The point about development failures affecting our test 
environment is well-taken. To date, we've not needed to run load testing on our 
sites; our sites don't typically experience heavy traffic. Moving forward, we 
are open to doing things differently or implementing virtualization if the 
flexibility it allows outweighs the issue raised by Dave.


 In an ideal world, everything is on a separate physical server, with 
 a
 redundant backup. But using a single machine or VMs can be suitable.
 There are, of course, different considerations for all of these
 scenarios. For example, if you use a single machine, what's the
 likelihood that a failure in your development environment could cause
 a resource-based denial of service in your test environment? Do you
 plan to run load tests in your testing environment?

 You are not crazy. A very quick test produced the same results for me.

Thanks. Good to know. I'll file a bug report. Weird that the VAR declaration
would make a difference.



 Try using the SpreadSheetWrite() function instead.



Thanks. I will. By the way, have you confirmed that the SpreadsheetWrite()

Well, I think I know why I didn't use that originally. It is not working. I
am probably doing something dumb but I haven't been able to Google this
problem away.

It tried two things. Neither of them worked.

In my .cfm view I replaced
cflocation url=#local.desiredEvent# addToken=Yes /
Which works with
cfhttp method=get url=#local.desiredEvent#
Which does not work

I also tried adding this to my .cfc bypassing the .cfm entirely
cfhttp method=get url=#local.desiredEventValues.desiredEvent#

With these code changes nothing happens. There is no indication that the URL
is being called.

So what am I doing wrong? And thanks for the help.

... unless both accounts share the same email address. For example, I
have two Google accounts with the email address dwa...@figleaf.com.
One is a GAFYD account, the other is a regular Google account with

chossing a methodolgy

2010-03-10 Thread Matthew Smith

I've been coding CF for around 12 years now.  I've been using fusebox 3
since it came out and love it.  I can do a site pretty quick with it and I'm
very comfortable there.  So comfortable that I haven't looked any further.
 Not a good thing for growth.

As I've grown as a developer, my applications have become more comlex, and
the way some things are done in fusebox 3 feel a bit kludgy to me now.

So, It's time to try something new.

I tried fusebox 4 for a few days when it came out, couldn't get the basic
app to work, and gave up.  I'm willing to give it another go, and noticed
they are up to 5.5.1 now.  I'm considering investing the time to give it
another try.

The documentation link under Learning Fusebox for 5.5 is broken.  Only
tutorials are for fusebox 4 and earlier.  The book is $40, a bit much I
think.

So, before I spend $40 and, even more valuable to me, time, any
recommendations?  Is fusebox 5.5.1 worth it or should I go to something
else?

Thanks.

You're likely to get as many opinions as there are people on this list.

I haven't used Fusebox in a while (for no particular reason).

ColdBox is a good modern MVC framework that comes with a lot of
out-of-the-box tools if you want to try something new.

If you want something uber-light weight and simple, try Sean's FW/1.

 Barney, I used your UDF and it worked as a fantastic starting point. The XML 
 displayed to the screen and was formatted almost perfectly. The one issue 
 that I had, which I think you mention in your blog post, was that it was 
 increasing the indent on every line until it came across a closing tag at the 
 start of a line.

 I added a fix that worked for my use case and would be more than willing to 
 share. As you mentioned in your blog post the Googles didn't really help when 
 I looked around for things. Have you ever thought of posting the UDF up on 
 Riaforge.org or cflib.org? I found it highly useful.

 Thanks again!

Forms Processing: Updating Only Changed Data

2010-03-10 Thread Blizzm

We have several lengthy forms that are going to be used for updating records 
and various data.  We are also looking at recording which form fields have been 
updated. Is there a means for updating only those records which have changed?  

I was thinking of looping through a form collection, comparing submitted vs. 
existing database values, storing any changed values and then having a CFC 
process the SQL update.  If this is a good starting point, how would I be able 
to update only those fields that need to be changed? 

For example if I have 100 fields and only 10 have been updated, how can I write 
a query to update only those 10 fields?

Thanks in advance.

Its a bit of a kludge - but could you add some cfif code to check the time and 
if it didn't meet the criteria it wouldn't process?

I.e. if the task is supposed to fire every 12 minutes - check the time when 
running the task and if it isn't :12, :24, :36, :48, or :00 - then don't 
execute.

If you like procedural, fb3lite is a extra-super-lightweight
combination of FB3 and FB5 that I built a few years ago.

http://www.barneyb.com/barneyblog/projects/fb3lite/

The framework is a whopping 72 lines long, but I use it for pretty
much everything I do, and after I used it for a couple projects at
work, it's pretty much taken over everything we do because of it's
simplicity.  It's unapologetically bare-bones, and only handles
front-controller responsibilities, but if that's what you're looking
for it's a great tool.

Upgrading Multi-home CF8 to CF9 on a Solaris 10 server

2010-03-10 Thread Ian Skinner

What do I need to know about upgrading from CF8 to CF9 on a Solaris 10 
server?  Do I dare to try some type of upgrade path?  Much of what I 
have read on the 'internets' say that archive, uninstall, install clean, 
and restore archive is a more recommended path.  Do the members of 
CF-Talk agree with this?

If so, how does one go about uninstalling CF8 from a Solaris 10 machine, 
I've never done that before.  I see the following instructions in the 
documentation:

Uninstall ColdFusion from UNIX

1. Log in as root.

2. Enter the following command to go to the cf_webapp_root/uninstall 
directory:
   cd cf_webapp_root/uninstall

3. Enter the following command:
   ./uninstall.sh

4. When the program completes, remove any remaining files and 
directories in the cf_webapp_root directory.

Does the cf_webapp_root indicate I need to do this once for each 
ColdFusion instance|server in the JRun directory?  If so, what does this 
do with the JRun - if anything?  Does JRun need to be uninstalled 
separately or not at all?

*** *OR* ***

Am I looking at this completely wrong, do I install CF9 just as new 
sever(s) under my existing JRun?  Is CF9 expecting to use an upgraded 
JVM then came with the original CF8?  If it wants new can I upgrade the 
JVM without bothering the CF8 servers and then install new CF9 server.

As you can see, I have many questions since I am such a newbe at this 
Solaris flavor of CF and I suspect little of my decade of experience 
with installing, uninstalling and upgrading Windows flavors apply to 
this new situation.

Re: choosing a methodology

2010-03-10 Thread Sandra Clark

Documentation for Fusebox 5.1 can be found at :
http://trac.fusebox.org/fusebox/

Its not complete and at this point I don't think anyone has any intention of
working with it.  But it is available.

Fusebox is still good if you are looking to write procedural code and
transition to oo. It works well both ways.  You can also incorporate
Coldspring and/or Transfer. If you are comfortable with OO, then a whole
other slew of confroller frameworks are now available.

 That being said these are not procedural frameworks and you're going to

 Subject: chossing a methodolgy


 I've been coding CF for around 12 years now.  I've been using fusebox 3
 since it came out and love it.  I can do a site pretty quick with it and
 I'm
 very comfortable there.  So comfortable that I haven't looked any further.
  Not a good thing for growth.

 As I've grown as a developer, my applications have become more comlex, and
 the way some things are done in fusebox 3 feel a bit kludgy to me now.

 So, It's time to try something new.

 I tried fusebox 4 for a few days when it came out, couldn't get the basic
 app to work, and gave up.  I'm willing to give it another go, and noticed
 they are up to 5.5.1 now.  I'm considering investing the time to give it
 another try.

 The documentation link under Learning Fusebox for 5.5 is broken.  Only
 tutorials are for fusebox 4 and earlier.  The book is $40, a bit much I
 think.

 So, before I spend $40 and, even more valuable to me, time, any
 recommendations?  Is fusebox 5.5.1 worth it or should I go to something
 else?

 Thanks.

prior to reading your post showing my oversight I tried to do some file
logging as shown below. The results of the top call to logEntry show in the

cflocation as well. Once it gets to that line it doesn't go past it in the
.cfm

cfset local.logEntry =

logEntry(flexcomm-schedule-results,specialDebugging,local.logEntry) /

cfhttp method=get url=#local.desiredEvent#

Its a bit of a kludge - but could you add some cfif code to check the time
and if it didn't meet the criteria it wouldn't process?

I.e. if the task is supposed to fire every 12 minutes - check the time when
running the task and if it isn't :12, :24, :36, :48, or :00 - then don't
execute.

Re: Forms Processing: Updating Only Changed Data

2010-03-10 Thread Tom McNeer

Some of the answer depends on your overall architecture. The first step
would be to retrieve the relevant database record using the ID passed from
your form. That would give you, in some manner (a query record, a bean,
whatever) a representation of the existing data.

Then you could write a routine that compares the values of the retrieved
record/bean with those submitted in the form.

You might also think of this as two different tasks: 1) updating the record,
and 2) recording (elsewhere) the changes.

The second task is the audit, of course. That's why you're doing the
comparison. As for the first, there's no particular reason to worry about
which fields have been changed when you're updating the record. Just use all
the form fields and do an update. By definition, the changes will be
recorded and the data that has not changed will remain the same. That avoids
the necessity of writing a complex dynamic update statement, which could be
a big benefit with as many fields as you seem to have.

Tom

I already have logging code in there and it is storing the cgi.remote-addr
the logged in user and information about the report it just started. As
mentioned previously, I know what the stack trace is.

It will be easy for me to add other variables but I can't think of any that
would be useful in debugging this.

Which variables do you think will help in this situation? I will add them to
my existing logging.

There are three tables (defined below), and I need the output in a
certain way (also defined below). I've done this before, but for the
life of me I can't remember how.

 

Table 1 (Target_Stratifications):

Stratification varchar(100) not null primary key

Strat_owner varchar(100) not null

 

Table 2 (Target_Types):

Target_type varchar(15) not null  primary key

Target_default numeric(9, 4) not null default 0

Target_Tolerance numeric(9, 4) not null default 0

 

Table 3 (Target_Targets):

Stratification varchar(100) not null

Target_type varchar(15) not null

Target numeric(9, 4) not null default 0

  *Primary Key (stratification, target_type)

  * [Stratification] References Target_Stratifications.stratification
[on update cascade, on delete cascade]

  * [target_type] References Target_Types.target_type [on update
cascade, on delete cascade]

 

It's a pretty normalized set of tables. In stratifications is a list of
proper names, and in target types is the Proper name for the target of
the measure that is being worked on along with default values and
tolerances.

 

I need to get the data in this format (| used just to separate the
columns, the actual result will be put in a cfgrid):

Stratification|Target_Type(1)|Target_Type(2)|Target_Type(3)|Target_Type(
4)|...|Target_Type(n)

Steve|100|50|25|10|...|15

Mike|25|75|2|100|...|75

 

Can someone push me in the right direction?

 

Thanks,

Steve

RE: Phantom Scheduled Tasks

2010-03-10 Thread DURETTE, STEVEN J (ATTASIAIT)

Bryan,

I normally save all of CGI/Form/URL.
The main CGI ones to look at though are:
Cgi.http_referer, cgi.http_user_agent, cgi.remote_addr,
cgi.request_method, cgi.script_name

If cgi.remote_addr is the ip of the server then the server made the
call. User agent helps to see if it was the scheduler or not.
Script_name ensures that it isn't some old version (name_old.cfm) laying
around that is getting called somehow. Request method helps if this
comes from a form, if the method is get, then something looped around
and called it.

I already have logging code in there and it is storing the
cgi.remote-addr
the logged in user and information about the report it just started. As
mentioned previously, I know what the stack trace is.

It will be easy for me to add other variables but I can't think of any
that
would be useful in debugging this.

Which variables do you think will help in this situation? I will add
them to
my existing logging.

Steve

Thanks very much. I've added those to my code and will run another series of
tests to see if anything useful shows up.

The logging that I'm doing only works with string so I can't just dump the
whole cgi form and url scopes to a file without specifying each one and then
the log gets kind of unwieldy with all of that in there.

Re: Upgrading Multi-home CF8 to CF9 on a Solaris 10 server

2010-03-10 Thread Dave Watts

 What do I need to know about upgrading from CF8 to CF9 on a Solaris 10
 server?  Do I dare to try some type of upgrade path?  Much of what I
 have read on the 'internets' say that archive, uninstall, install clean,
 and restore archive is a more recommended path.  Do the members of
 CF-Talk agree with this?

There is no upgrade path for multi-server. There is only uninstall and
reinstall, if you want to replace one multi-server version with
another.

 If so, how does one go about uninstalling CF8 from a Solaris 10 machine,
 I've never done that before.  I see the following instructions in the
 documentation:

 Uninstall ColdFusion from UNIX

    1. Log in as root.

    2. Enter the following command to go to the cf_webapp_root/uninstall
 directory:
       cd cf_webapp_root/uninstall

    3. Enter the following command:
       ./uninstall.sh

    4. When the program completes, remove any remaining files and
 directories in the cf_webapp_root directory.

 Does the cf_webapp_root indicate I need to do this once for each
 ColdFusion instance|server in the JRun directory?  If so, what does this
 do with the JRun - if anything?  Does JRun need to be uninstalled
 separately or not at all?

Fortunately, there isn't much that can go wrong uninstalling. Just
follow those instructions, and this will uninstall JRun along with
your CF instances. If you have /CFIDE files in your web root, you can
go ahead and delete those as well manually. Since you're using Apache,
you can simply edit httpd.conf to remove the connection between Apache
and CF if the uninstaller doesn't do that for you (and if you're using
multiple Apache virtual hosts, you'll almost certainly end up editing
this manually anyway).

 Am I looking at this completely wrong, do I install CF9 just as new
 sever(s) under my existing JRun?  Is CF9 expecting to use an upgraded
 JVM then came with the original CF8?  If it wants new can I upgrade the
 JVM without bothering the CF8 servers and then install new CF9 server.

You could install a CF9 EAR into your existing CF8/JRun install, but
CF9 does use a newer JVM, which you'd need to set up separately if you
took this approach. Upgrading your JVM will, by default, bother your
CF8 servers, since by default all JRun instances use the same JVM. You
can, of course, change that, but I think the simplest approach is just
to uninstall the whole thing. Make sure you save whatever settings you
want to preserve by creating a CAR file before uninstalling.

2010-03-10 Thread Jerry Barnes

I still use HOMESITE. I tried CFECLIPSE and I tried the beta version of
Adobes CF developer thing.  Both are nice, both are a drain on system
resources, slow, and bloated. Yes there are some nice features, but there is
something to be said for just have a nice straight up, low burden code
editing tool with insight, and a good search/replace routine.  And yes, I
use Dreamweaver too... but it's also slow and bloated.

That sums up my feelings exactly, except that I have tried dreamweaver, but
don't use it.
