Re: Anyone know anything about this new ColdFusion conference?
Dave, your right it doesn't seem to have made much difference yet, but as I have said many times before is the fact that the cf community does not cover the entire cf user base. There are a huge number of developers and users out there who do not participate in the community. Customers with CF driven websites on shared hosting etc, most of these people do not even know when a new version of CF comes out, let alone that there is an open source alternative. Even many within the community still don't know of the OSS alternatives. So just as you cannot build a website and they will come, you also can't just release an OSS cfml engine and expect everyone to know about it. Until CFML makes it into the main stream web media and is given some decent coverage then I don't really see how things can change. Currently CF gets nothing more than the odd mention/article. I recently had a letter published in a major net mag (unknown to me) which asked the editor why does CF rarely get mentioned and drew attention to the OSS alternatives and that you could use both for free on www.cfmldeveloper.com. Even this minor coverage resulted in a small surge of visits to www.cfmldeveloper.com, so I think that in itself shows that there is still interest and potential new users out there. I think the difficulties in getting Railo installed and working has been a big block for many, and the team did rather assume that being a developer meant you know about running a server, which is just not true as the average developer only knows how to code not run a server or maintain an OS, and thankfully has been addressed now with a new installer. Look at any PHP forum and you will see plenty of PHP developers who struggle to get PHP working properly or getting php apps to work locally, what you can also see is that many of these developers simply develop directly on their hosts servers and don't worry about those issues. This has always been a plus for CF, while the whole Java/Servlets container/CF setup is actually very complex, Adobe's click, install, go has always made it easy, but this still causes issues for many as they still need to get a web server, mail server and db server running as well which comes with its own challenges. There has always been a plethora of free/cheap php hosts out there to accommodate the php developers which has no doubt helped tremendously, and cfmldeveloper.com tries to do the same for cf developers, but I suspect very few people know about it outside the community, and those are the people you do want to know about resources that will help them with CFML, but how to get the word out is the problem.

Because it doesn't seem to have done so, so far. Because the niche in which CF is popular doesn't seem to care that much about open source or free. Because there are plenty of other open source engines in other languages, and people who care a lot about that seem to have mostly already moved to one of those. Do you think the only thing that makes a language worth something, is how much it costs? No. I'm not sure where you got that from my previous responses. What about my argument about one in the bush, vs. none in the bush? That's not an argument, it's speculation. And say Adobe did drop CF-- do you think that would spell the end of the language? Yeah, I do. I don't think that everyone would switch to comparatively unknown, new alternatives. If a big company like Adobe can't guarantee the future of CF, why would anyone think that these other people can?

Form Validation Issue using cfinput AND jquery
Sorry if this ends up being a dupe post. I'm working on a client site that already had a CF Form in place using cfinput and validation via required=yes We added some select boxes that are required and as most of you know CF forms don't really validate those. So, I am using jquery to validate the select boxes when the form is submitted. The problem I am running into is this: The jquery portion works AND the CF validation errors are thrown as well. But if I fill in all the selects that are validated via jquery and do not to fill in the fields that are being required via cfinput required=yes, the error is thrown but the form still submits. Is this because of the jquery on submit validation? Has anyone run into this before, is there an easy fix, outside of moving the cfinput validation into the jquery validation?

RE: Form Validation Issue using cfinput AND jquery
Is your JQuery validation returning false? Here is how I see it (I'm assuming here so don't shoot me)... CFValidation = false JQuery = true One result is true so it processes. CFValidation = true JQuery = false Same One result is true so it processes. CFValidation = false JQuery = false Both are false processing ends. CFValidation = true JQuery = true Both are true so it processes. You either need to change your cfvalidation to be jquery, or build a wrapper function for both validation that checks to make sure that both validate before moving on. Just a simple function that is, if CF or JQuery is false return false, if both true return true.

Re: Form Validation Issue using cfinput AND jquery
I'm not sure that's correct. Using the same scenarios (and assuming the jquery validation is defined in onsubmit with return specified) here's my understanding: CFValidation = false - validation ends. JQuery = doesn't get processed. Form Doesn't Submit CFValidation = true JQuery = false - validation ends Form Doesn't Submit. CFValidation = false - validation ends. JQuery = doesn't get processed. Form Doesn't Submit. CFValidation = true JQuery = true *confetti* You either need to change your cfvalidation to be jquery, or build a wrapper function for both validation that checks to make sure that both validate before moving on. I don't _think_ that's true.

Re: SQL Join Woes
a standard join looks like this.. select foo from a join b on a.id = b.id So yours would look something like SELECT PartNumber FROM GriffinDataRevised d JOIN Top200 t on d.partnumber = t.part_number You're not technically doing a join, you're doing a sub query.

Re: SQL Join Woes
Hello Ian and thank you! I have tried both the left and right joins, the RIGHT join brought back the 15k results again, the LEFT join was bringing back so many that i killed the browser before it hurt something :) JOINS: SELECT * FROM GriffinDataRevised LEFT OUTER JOIN Top200 ON GriffinDataRevised.PartNumber = Top200.Part_Number --This one seemed like a infinite loop was happening, crashed browser from results.

It may be possible that the 98 results are the only parts that exist in the larger information table. But my query was still running wrong, correct?

Re: SQL Join Woes
I guess it could be both. While some part numbers can fit multiple years, makes, and models of a vehicle others just fit one. The top 200 are our best selling radiators. In theory, i want to hit the master table, pull out all the information on the radiator based on the part number being supplied from the top 200. Here is a query with all the fields from the Master table, and the Top 200 table has nothing but a part number: SELECT GriffinDataRevised.PartNumber, GriffinDataRevised.Make, GriffinDataRevised.Model, GriffinDataRevised.Year, GriffinDataRevised.Engine, GriffinDataRevised.Edition, GriffinDataRevised.TransCooler, GriffinDataRevised.OilCooler, GriffinDataRevised.HorsePower, GriffinDataRevised.Comments, GriffinDataRevised.Outlets, GriffinDataRevised.TubeSize, GriffinDataRevised.Rows, GriffinDataRevised.CoreSize, GriffinDataRevised.Revision FROM GriffinDataRevised INNER JOIN Top200 ON GriffinDataRevised.PartNumber = Top200.part_number WHERE GriffinDataRevised.PartNumber = Top200.part_number ORDER BY Make DESC Does that help? Thank you so much for bearing with me. On another not, the query that brought back 98 results may have been working right, i found another 78 records in another table for race car radiators, i'm almost guessing that the last few are in another table that would make the total 200 records.

Re: SQL query question
This might be an issue I've had to deal with before. Do something to change the fingerprint (no idea what the correct term would be) of the query - or restart cf. By change the fingerprint, it could be something as simple ad swapping p.* and pt.* (swapping as in their ordinal position in the select clause). In the past, what has happened is I'll have some query with at least one * in the select statement followed by one or more columns and I add a column to whatever I was selecting * from. If the query stays the same, it uses the same result-set template (again, im making up words - no idea what its really called) It doesn't know to check the underlying structure of the table. But the newly added column gets returned by the db - offsetting all the columns in the rest of the result set. So as crazy as it sounds - just change something in the sql, and give it a try. It doesn't have to actually change anything about what the query does - adding ,getdate() as helloworld will fix it - and then you can undo the change after one successful run. I assume this is something on CF's side - as restarting the CF service also fixes it.

Here's the query (obviously the person that originally wrote it is in the 'the fewer characters, the better' camp): SELECT p.*, pt.*, pm.Type AS mtype, s.fname AS sfname, s.lname AS slname, pa.DateActive AS PenAmountDate, pa.MonthlyAmount AS PenAmt, pa.Note AS PenAmtNote, s.SSN AS sssn, s.DOB AS sdob, spm.Type AS smt FROM PensionerMedicalType spm INNER JOIN PensionerSpouse s ON spm.MedicalID = s.MedicalType RIGHT OUTER JOIN PensionersActive p INNER JOIN PensionerType pt ON p.PensionerType = pt.PensionerTID LEFT OUTER JOIN PensionAmounts pa ON p.PenActID = pa.PenID LEFT OUTER JOIN PensionerMedicalType pm ON p.MedicalType = pm.MedicalID ON s.SpouseID = p.Spouse WHERE (p.PenActID = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_integer value=#id# AND pa.active = 1) As soon as I add a column named 'lifeInsType' to the PensionersActive (p) table, I get the following error when the same query runs: Error Executing Database Query. [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Value can not be converted to requested type.

When that is done, database drivers are know to cache the columns and datatypes of the SQL queries. Then somebody comes along and changes the database structure, like you adding a field. Now the database structure does not match the cached structure stored by the database driver and this type of disconnect occurs. The solution: Replace those p.* and pt.* short cuts with that actual columns you need in your record set. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341804 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Changing the Datasource to not used pooled settings might eliminate the caching of the database columns and types. But I have never tried it, having long ago accepted the better practice of not using * in my SQL. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341805 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: SQL query question
The evil of using * in SELECT clauses. I'm with Ian on this 100%. Often times developers think that using * will be faster, and easier and allow more flexibility. However that couldn't be further from the truth as you are seeing now. Take Ian's advice and define each column you want from your query. The added bonus is that there's no extra overhead associated with returning columns you aren't using. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341806 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
RE: SQL query question
I'm 100% with you guys on this as well. Replacing the hundreds of select * from all the existing code here is one of my seemingly never ending tasks. I should have addressed that first before attempting to add anything else to the mix. I'm done installing my Windows updates for the evening, so I'll tackle this again in the morning.

Coldfusion 8: Does something like a cfContinue exist?
I'm running Coldfusion 8. Trying to use a cfloop over a query. I need to go to the next index/user/database-row if some condition is met after generating my report. I asked yesterday, was given CFcontinue but tried it today and it's only for ColdFusion 9.

Re: Coldfusion 8: Does something like a cfContinue exist?
Adam, as I suggested yesterday (if you are pre cf8) you will need to do some
conditional evaluation.
pseudo code:
set var doContinue = false;
if ( conditions are met )
{
doContinue = true;
}
if ( doContinue )
{
-- put all the rest of your processing code here and only run it if your
conditions were met.
}

To all, so that you all know I didn't start this one he came to me asking. perhaps some good will come out of it though and whether if you think its professional or not, it is only right that companies and other developers treat each other with the same respect and try not to crucify each other. i am as guilty as the next guy in this too, so before you go on your holy run there Maureen calm down. we wonder why coldfusion is dying. the answer is simple. look in the mirror.
