Re: Adobe ColdFusion Anthology released
I also would have liked to include an article on CFWheels and one on ColdBox, but as Sean noted, we didn't have any articles on those topics. Right now I'm talking to one of our authors about doing a CFWheels article, and I'd welcome a ColdBox article as well. If you would like to write one, just send an email to me (http://www.fusionauthority.com/contact.cfm). Maybe we can get those frameworks into future editions. Thanks so much for all of the good wishes. I'm proud of the book (and happy to see it out there.) A lot of people -- authors, technical reviewers and editors -- put a lot of effort into it across the board, and we thank them all in the acknowledgments and author's pages in the book itself (which you can read in the Amazon.com link).

Hi, Mark... Have you looked into using jQuery or another javascript library for something like this? I don't think it would be very difficult to code in jQuery.

Re: Substitute/conversion for Flash Interactive Menus for iPad?
I wouldn't be quite so quick on the pronouncement that most of tablet platforms will support Flash, at least in the short term. Besides the iPad, there isn't a shipping tablet that has any serious market penetration. Archos has one out there, but it doesn't run Flash. Dell is planning a weirdly form factored 7-inch based on Android, but there is no release date. HP was planning the Slate to ship with Win 7, but since their acquisition of Palm and their WebOS, the Slate has supposedly been shelved. Microsoft officially abandoned their tablet offering. There have been some rumors about Google offering one, ala the Nexus One, with theories about it running either Android or Chrome OS, but there are no announcements. At this point, Flash basically doesn't run on any shipping or announced tablet in the same form factor as the iPad (HP and Lenova call some of their laptops tablets, but they all have keyboards and are heavier and much more expensive than the iPad). We'll probably see something based on the Android platform as it ramps up Flash 10.1 support, but it isn't clear who will offer it. Most likely Dell. There are not any Win 7-based tablets hitting the market soon afaik. With HP reportedly cancelling their Slate/Win7 project, it looks like Apple has the tablet market locked up for at least the next 6 months. We'll see what happens after that, but we saw what happened when Apple got the lead in the portable mp3 player market. Zune still sells but the iPod still rules the roost years later.

And since those are the only 2 other major tablet platforms that I've heard of, and since those two platforms are going to be used by most of the iPad competitors, I still feel fine saying most of the tablets will run Flash and AIR. http://www.nytimes.com/external/venturebeat/2010/05/05/05venturebeat-adobe-demonstrates-flash-and-air-on-android-42419.html http://www.nytimes.com/external/venturebeat/2010/05/05/05venturebeat-adobe-demonstrates-flash-and-air-on-android-42419.html http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20100505-723039.html?mod=WSJ_latestheadlines They're slated to be available later this year.

The point is that this is coming soon, and it is going to run on a huge number of devices. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:66 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Adobe ColdFusion Anthology released
Oops. Chapter 2 lists onApplicationStart as onApplicationStar ( unless that's a new application event in CF9 that's not in the docs ), but more importantly has an arrow pointing from Requested template missing to onError, when in reality onMissingTemplate is what happens first. Which isn't listed in the diagram at all. And really, there should be a big set of brackets wrapping all of the appropriate events off to the left side pointing to the onError event, I say.

RE: query for experts?
You didn't mention which DB system you're using. The functions might be different from DB to DB. I used SQL Server as my base so YMMV. Using CF code as an example you should get multiples of the price for each grouping less than or equal to the minimum quantity: cfset cart = 4 cfset min = 5 cfset price = 12 cfoutput #Fix(price * CEILING(cart/ min) )# /cfoutput So for 1-5, you'd have 1 * 12, for 6-10 you'd have 2 * 12, 11-15 you'd have 3 * 12, etc. That should carry over to the query as well. -Original Message- From: Mike Little [mailto:m...@nzsolutions.co.nz] Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2010 9:36 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: query for experts? azadi - your query works for a qty of 4 but not anything between 5 and 10. rick - not possible as qty's range massively per product type andy - cannot get this query to work, outputs wrong price maureen - was just an example ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:74 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
RE: query for experts?
I think I am a bit confused as to what your scenario is... Is 5 the minimum a customer can purchase? If they order 5 or more, is $12 their price, or if they order 1-5 it is $12? If the pricing is for 1-5 = $12 each, then I think you can adjust your table a little to get the proper results. Add a row, 1, 12.00 Change 5, 12 to 6, 11.55 And so on. Then you can use your example query to pull the correct data. Also, the 'price' should be a number (without the $ sign). It will make it easier to use the number for multiplying with later.

RE: query for experts?
I realize that my suggestion might not solve your problem, but having massive quantity ranges would seem to make solving the issue on the server-side even more difficult. By using your required quantities for the amount-to-order dropdown, you would force a buyer to order the quantities you require, and, therefore, determining price would be simple. They really don't get a break for buying 4 since the minimum is 5. But I understand the requirements for the setup or client may require a query solution.

Hi, Mark... Have you looked into using jQuery or another javascript library for something like this? I don't think it would be very difficult to code in jQuery. I've got a real estate agent I'm building a site for and she wants the typical Flash-based virtual tours, but I'm going to try to emulate the Flash with jQuery. That will involve using photos like in the top of Utah.gov at the very least. Rick -Original Message- From: Mark A.

I have looked into HTML5 -- but I can't find any references for how you would do things like gotoAndPlay() like you can in Flash. The site I have been developing has very similar banner to that of www.UTAH.gov. When you click the menu at the top, a text menu overlays the image. And when you point at things in the banner, hints display. Our users are mostly Law Enforcement and many use iPhones. A lot of them are also Apple users for some reason. I found some code that I'm testing to detect the iPad on the site that seems to work well. Currently if you go to my beta site with the iPhone it shows everything but the .swf files. If you go to it with the iPAD - it just says ERROR and doesn't display anything. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:89 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: query for experts?
ah, so your product_min represents the lower min level of quantity... then you can do this: 1) add a row for product_min = 1 to your table, so that you have absolute min level and price for it defined (even if it is the same price as min level 5, you still have to add this row or the query will not return any data for quantities 5; unless, of course, you do not allow buying in quantities 5...) 2) change the query to this: [MySQL syntax] SELECT * FROM pricing WHERE priduct_min = 6 ORDER BY product_min DESC, (product_min/6) DESC LIMIT 1 Azadi On 06/05/2010 12:18, Mike Little wrote: azadi (thanks for everyones help by the way)...

Re: Substitute/conversion for Flash Interactive Menus for iPad?
Yes, Flash is running on Android and I think that is an excellent thing. My point was that no vendor of any note has set a release date for a tablet running Android or Win7. Microsoft has canceled the Courier project. HP has reportedly canceled Slate. Dell has reportedly got a 7-inch tablet (which is an odd size) that will run Android but no announced release date. Google devices are pure speculation at this point. Flash is finding a home on the Android handset market and that is awesome. There are some HTC handsets and I'm sure more will arrive. Win 7 phone isn't due out until the end of the year and it isn't clear that Flash will run on it, especially since MS has made the decision to go back to an iphone 2-like OS (like removing multitasking). That means that Flash will make some inroads in the smart phone market with Android, which is great since I like Android. I'm not sure you can make any sort of reasonable claims about the tablet market though. The plain truth is that there is no pipeline of tablets from respected vendors that will run Flash. If HP redesigns the Slate to run WebOS (does that run Flash? I don't think it does but I'm not sure), who is going to challenge Apple this year? Apple has already sold 1 million iPads. They are releasing a new version of the OS in June. I'm thinking that the market will see several million iPads in production and probably on a second generation of hardware before a serious competitor comes to market. That's a big hole to dig out of. I'd love to be wrong. I like Apple ok but I prefer Android and I prefer the ecosystem around it. But as of today, we're working on a business app for the iPad because we can't wait a year for something else to get announced, get out and get stable. I wish we could use Flex and install our own app on Android devices we sell but we're stuck with Objective-C and Apple's app distribution (which irritates me to no end) because that's what the market is.

Re: Substitute/conversion for Flash Interactive Menus for iPad?
Good to see a voice of reason in this debate. Thanx Judah! Macromedia was talking about the mobile market for years, Adobe has talked about the mobile market for a few years too. We might finally be seeing a deliverable with Flash Player 10.1 (and that's great). The reality is that a lot of the mobile / tablet market thinks Flash is irrelevant at this point. The gamble is whether Adobe can make Flash relevant in this market or whether Apple's head start will making it a losing strategy. It's a very heated debate - and people on both sides are very passionate about it, hoping their side wins. I have sympathies with both parties. Frankly tho', I'm tired of it all and I wish everyone would just shut up, sit down and wait and see how this pans out :) Sean On Wed, May 5, 2010 at 10:12 PM, Judah McAuley ju...@wiredotter.com wrote: Yes, Flash is running on Android and I think that is an excellent thing.
