CFDOCUMENT grief

Re: Custom search engine
I've spent the evening reading doc for Verity and Googling for info but it still seems my take is right. Verity can index static files or database query results but not dynamically generated HTML. The content of my client's site is complex enough that indexing database query results doesn't map well to dynamic pages. The right tool seems to be a spider but then what to do with the spider's results? Indexing database query results should work out very nicely, actually, even with a complex site - especially with a complex site! You're using the database to build the contents of your pages, right? In the same way, you can use the database to build the contents of your index. You simply have to have a way to build a URL that will let the search user get to the page that corresponds to the search result. I can think of a hack where the spider creates a shadow directory tree of the real content and then I cfindex that but tell cfindex the URLprefix of the original tree. Any thoughts on feasibility? I think it would be much easier and more reliable to simply use CFINDEX against your database queries. This isn't that hard to do, and I'm sure there are some online tutorials somewhere. Using the database queries directly has a big advantage over using a spider - it's easy to exclude meaningless content from searches. For example, when you spider content, the spider gets all the content - navigation, headers/footers, etc. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Custom search engine
Dave - An issue is that there is not a 1:1 correspondence between database entries and pages. I actually think the database aspect of dynamically creating pages is not the big issue. The majority of the issue is that this site is not well structured and has a web of include files and custom tags that are each included on multiple pages under certain conditions. The site is old and was never designed as a whole: they have a very limited budget so they make changes incrementally - we've all seen where this approach leads. So, this is why I keep pushing the spidering idea. I understand I may give up some fine-grained control over the index but, given the limited budget, a spider approach that can generate a Verity index seems the best way to stay within their budget. In spite of the above, I remain open to alternative approaches and very much appreciate the suggestions made on this thread. - Dave ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

If they really do have to charge that much per copy sold to recoup their investment based on projected sales, then I would say they've got to price it where it is.

Well, maybe you can use the Verity spider, although I still think you could get where you want by querying the database directly. You'll need to have your site respond as localhost for the spider to work. Alternatively, you could use a tool like wget to fetch all of your pages as HTML, then index those files and rewrite the URLs. But that's going to be a bit of a pain to update.

CFQUERY Question
I'm running into an odd behavior with CFQUERY (at least I think it is odd) I have the following code (example) cfquery name=blahName datasource=blah SELECT blah FROM blah WHERE blah = 1 /cfquery CFIF blahName.recordCount GT 0 12345 /CFIF if the query blahName returns no results, I thought i would still be able to access blahName.recordCount Am I wrong on this, or is there something else I am overlooking?

RE: CFQUERY Question
Your cfif statement asks for the recordCount to be returned on if the recordCount is greater than 0. Try cfif blahName.recordcount GTE 0 and you should get the recordCount either way.

Re: CFQUERY Question
You are correct, the record count for an empty query object does exist (and should be 0). What exactly is not working? Are you getting an error message?

RE: CFQUERY Question
You are correct that it should work, but they maybe something else in the code which is preventing the query from being executed. On the top of your page add: cfparam name= blahName.recordcount default=0 And that will deal with the case where the query is not executed. Robert B.

Re: CFQUERY Question
Ok, found the cause of the issue, by taking the query into SQL Server In SQL, the following is being returned *Warning: Null value is eliminated by an aggregate or other SET operation. (0 row(s) affected)* So it appears this is what is throwing off the query results in CF I am working on resolving this issue now. -Dave On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 2:18 PM, Robert Harrison rob...@austin-williams.com wrote: You are correct that it should work, but they maybe something else in the code which is preventing the query from being executed.

Re: CFQUERY Question
If the query is executing correctly but bringing back no records, this should work with blahname.recordcount equal zero . If the query is not executing correctly, blahname.recordcount will not equal zero.

Integrating SSRS with coldfusion

Others disagree, presumably, since they're buying the product. So I think that it's impossible for you to make that claim - if your claim were correct, no one would buy it.

Re: Integrating SSRS with coldfusion
Unless someone comes through with a yes answer to your second question I think you will find this to be a very challenging task. SSRS doesn't play nice with anything but .NET. Would an iframe pointing to an ASP.NET page work for you? How about a pop-up window? :-) Complicating this issue is that the security model in SQL Server 2008 became more restrictive. With the introduction of SSRS 2008, Microsoft now goes out of their way to prevent developers from allowing anonymous access to SSRS reports, preferring that users log in using secure methods such as Windows Authentication. It is possible to allow anonymous authentication, but it takes quite a bit of effort to enable that buried ability. If you really need SSRS your best solution might be to create an ASP.NET Web site for reporting, or using a product like Microsoft SharePoint, or recreating the reports in a ColdFusion-friendly or Java-friendly reporting system. If you do end up finding a good way to integrate SSRS into ColdFusion, please let me know. You might want to post this question on the official MS SSRS support forum. Microsoft provides fantastic developer support on their forums.

What happens to session variables after redirecting to https?
I have an application that expects to be run in http, but when it needs to process a credit card, it goes to https. Then afterwards it goes back to http. I do this by pulling the URL and prefixing it with the appropriate http or https: notation. Does anyone have practical experience with what happens to session variables across this transition? It looks to me as though they are all there, but I've observed a few unusual situations where that isn't always the case. Any practical experience or pointers to documentation about this would be appreciated. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: What happens to session variables after redirecting to https?
No, from a cookie perspective, http://mysite.com and https://mysite.com are 2 different domains, so you need to send the session tokens across the gap. Any of a number of approaches can work, but here's the quick and dirty: cflocation url=https://#mySecureURL#; addtoken=yes / Or, if you are using some other redirection, you can append the following to the URL: cfid=#cookie.cfid#cftoken=#cookie.cftoken# (Note that the nomenclature is different if you're using Java session IDs.) ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
