RE: Handling invalid recipient in mailing list

2015-04-03 Thread Dave Long

Thanks so much to all and to Mike and William, I will be putting your advice
on the top of my list of things to do. The list in question has
approximately 5,500 names but, by the time it is cleaned up, will probably
be closer to 5,000. 

The idea of not disturbing subscribers unnecessarily is most attractive.

Thanks again.

Dave

Dave,

You could have your code 'automatically' scrub the list and use a 'log' to
keep track of the changes.  This way you won't have to do a test run.  
Also, you could set up your code on a 'dummy' email server that will send
the email but trap it prior to being mailed, this way you don't have to
bother your recipients list.
Also, you could create an email validation loop so that you can 'verify' the
list without the concern for sending an email out at all (instead of doing a
'cfmail' tag, you would do the validation of the email address).

I don't know how large your recipient's list is, but I would try to not
bother them with testing emails.

Just my 2 pence,
William

cfmail causing problems for our server

2014-12-10 Thread Dave Long

My customer's site allows interested visitors to subscribe to intermittent
e-mail notifications regarding his annual event. My hosting provider tells
me that use of cfmail to contact his 5,000+ mailing list is triggering
blacklisting when we use it to notify subscribers of event changes and
additions. He (the hosting provider) insists we use a third party e-mail
service instead.

Can anyone recommended such a service that can be trusted not to resell the
DB?

Creating maps with CF

Can anyone suggest a link to a good tutorial on setting up an app to create
either a Google or Bing map populated by a MySQL db using ColdFusion? (for

I've tried going to their sites (Google, Bing) but it seems you have to have
been born knowing the terminology to find the correct instructions.

Subject: Re: Creating maps with CF


I developed an app a few years back that made pretty extensive use of custom
data mapping for points and areas.  I found the cleanest way to deal with
loading the data was through AJAX calls to an API, while developing your
javascript libraries independently.  Otherwise, you end up bringing a whole
bunch of inline JS in to your views and couple them too tightly with the map
API.  

Once you set up your API to deliver XML or JSON, you can use the standard
Google Maps API methods to add the points, map boundaries, etc like so.  I
used a spatial database and then converted the point and geometry values to
lat/lon floats.  Note that the JS below uses XML, is missing some of the
custom marker variables which were set earlier in the JS library.  It was
also written for an earlier version of the API.

HTH,
Jon

CF/Railo development environment

2013-11-21 Thread Dave Long

Please accept my apology for re-asking a question I know I've asked before.
My XP machine died and took my archived e-mails with it to hard drive heaven
(or hell as may be.)

I've used Homesite+ for the last ten or twelve years but now, having been
dragged kicking and whining onto Windows 8.1, I'm in desperate need of a new
environment. By charging $299.00 for CF Builder, Adobe is obviously intent
on eliminating hobbyists such as myself from the marketplace. I only host
about 40 sites, of which less than 20 are CF, so expensive software, no
matter how elaborate, is just not practical for me.

Is there a less expensive alternative that would still include niceties such
as tag completion, snippets, tool bars and, most importantly, RDS capability
with wizards for commonly used code like record viewers, etc.?

Thank you!

+ 1 for this.

There are very few things I even need my Windows VM for (at the moment, I
use it for testing installers. ) . Not sure how a mac would own you, I would
guess in the same way a windows machine would too?

You don't need to know the terminal but it is damn awesome once you start
using it a lot more. 

Back to the original question, I would say use Sublime Text 2 and first
thing to do is install package manager.  Also, here are a few videos that
might help you get started with Sublime:

Hope that helps!

Curmudgeon painted in a corner

2013-03-17 Thread Dave Long

I've been using Homesite 5 on my Compaq laptop since a year or two before
Y2K was scary. Now the old hoss is reluctant to boot (takes about 30 minutes
or more) so I'm kind of forced to get a new machine. Problem: new ones all
come with Windows 8 so it looks like I'll be buying (unless I can find
freebies) some new development tools. 
 
My server host is moving to Railo to avoid doubling my fees, so what do you
folks recommend for CF development environment?

Thanks everyone,

I checked out Sublime Text 2 and even watched a couple sessions of the

Cameron, thanks anyway. I want to own the machine, not have the machine own

I've been using them for more than 10 years. 

Thanks again.

You are correct in assuming I've been using CF5. If I move to a newer

But that's a bridge from jdbc to odbc, not native odbc.
If you simply create an odbc dsn in windows, you wont be able to use it

Maybe not the most efficient way but you can loop through the GetCategories
query and within each iteration of the loop get the associated product count
using another query. Not tested but this should work:

cfloop query=GetCategories
  cfquery name=GetProducts datasource=XYZ
 SELECT Products.ID, Products.CATEGORY
 FROM   products
 WHERE  Products.CATEGORY = #GetCategories.Categories.ID#
   /cfquery

 cfoutputGetCategories.CATEGORY ( #GetPorducts.RecordCount #

Eureka!!

A few minor modifications and your code worked like a charm. Not only did
the code work but I learned more about Aggregate Functions and GROUP BY,
(page 174 of Mastering...)

Thanks so much to Aaron, Leigh, Akos and Jacob for your assistance.

You should be able to just do this in one query.  Syntax for the query might
be dependent upon what database you are using though.  But something like
this general syntax should work:

SELECT  C.ID, C.CATEGORY, C.RANK, COUNT(P.ID) CNT
FROMCATEGORIES C LEFT OUTER JOIN PRODUCTS P ON C.CATEGORY = P.CATEGORY
GROUP   BY C.ID, C.CATEGORY, C.RANK
ORDER   BY C.RANK

Then you can loop over the results, display your category and rank then
within the parenthesis you output the CNT for the count of products for that
category.  I'd personally avoid putting a query within a loop, it might be
okay for this but can be a very bad habit to get into.

How many products in a specific category?

2011-12-20 Thread Dave Long

Sorry to bother you folks with what is likely to be a very primitive problem
but I've poured over my copy of Mastering ColdFusion 5 with no success.

I have a list of categories which is queried from a table called Categories.
I have another table called products and it shares a common field named
Category with the Categories table. 
In the template that displays the list of categories, I would like to
include a parenthesis after the category name that displays the number of
products entered in the products table with that category name.

Here are the queries I'm using that aren't working. I can get the list of
categories but the product count stops after one category.

CFQUERY name=GetCategories dataSource=XYZ
SELECT Categories.ID, Categories.CATEGORY, Categories.RANK,
Categories.CATEGORY AS ID_Field
FROM Categories
ORDER BY Categories.RANK
/CFQUERY

CFQUERY name=GetProducts dataSource=XYZ
SELECT Products.ID, Products.CATEGORY
FROM Products
WHERE Products.CATEGORY = #GetCategories.Category#
/CFQUERY

cfinclude template=Header.htm
table align=center cellpadding=10 cellspacing=0 border=0tr
td align=centerh3Browse by Category:/h3/td/tr
tr
ul
td
cfoutput query=GetCategories
li
a href=productitems.cfm?RecordID=#ID_Field##Category#/a
(#GetProducts.RecordCount#)/li
br
/cfoutput
/td/ul/tr

br

/table
cfinclude template=Footer.htm

I'm using MySQL 3.51 and CF5.0

Mailing list maintenance.

2011-08-22 Thread Dave Long

I have a customer who has a modest opt-in mailing list of approx. 4,000
subscribers that have been added to a MySQL DB via a CF enabled contact
form. Since the list pertains to a once-a-year event, he does not
utilize the list until a month or two before the event and perhaps once
or twice afterwards. As you might guess, over the year long interim, two
or three hundred addresses become invalid annually. 

Now, please don't laugh at the ignorance of my process because I'm here
to be educated. 

In order to prevent accumulation of bad e-mails, I open each individual
failure notice, bring up the attached original message, scroll to the
bottom to click the Unsubscribe link which activates a delete query
for that specific e-mail address, (which also displays an
acknowledgement page,) close the page, close the attachment, and
finally, delete the notice. (Whew!) Repeating this action several
hundred times is a real time waster.

Does anyone in this illustrious group have an idea how this house
cleaning could be automated with ColdFusion (or otherwise)? One really
tough part of the problem is that the failure notices are not a
consistent form... various servers use varied formats.

BTW, if it matters, I'm using a CF5 server with MySQL 3.51 on a Linux
system.

Thanks for considering this problem.

RE: why is cf_builder so expensive?

2011-01-26 Thread Dave Long

I do appreciate the assistance I have received from members of this group
but overpriced goods squeeze the cynicism out of my pores.

It seems defenders of Adobe's pricing like to compare the cost of CFB to
tools used by carpenters, plumbers and mechanics. However, that comparison
is invalid because there is only a small reduction of manufacturing costs as
volume of real world tool sales increases. Margin does not necessarily
increase as more units are sold.

This is not true of software which, once developed, has only minute costs
involved as more copies are sold. Margin increases rapidly and thus the
software could be priced at one half the price and sales might double with
margin remaining intact, increasing at a slower rate perhaps but increasing
none the less. Oh well, they were told at Harvard that greed is good! Bill
Gates set the standard and they all want to be him at the expense of their
customers. Why settle for being millionaires when you can soak your
customers and be billionaires.

Another factor in Adobe's pricing is to discourage entry as much as
possible. This approach has been used by AutoDesk since the 1990s and
prevents a lot of architect wannabees carpenters from designing the
buildings they build. With CFNL as simple as it is, every high school senior
in the country might be jumping into data driven design.

Perhaps the folks at Adobe even want to kill it off, judging by the price
charged for their Enterprise version. 

Time to learn PHP, I guess.

Counting photos on a remote server

2010-12-15 Thread Dave Long

Our server use ColdFusion 5 and MySQL 3.51.

My application displays photos stored on a server remote from the server on
which the app is hosted. The number of photos varies from one to twenty. The
image files are named using a constant ID number plus a sequential number
for each file, like this: 12345_p01.jpg, 12345_p02.jpg, and so on in order
to relate them to a specific record on my server.

My problem is this: I want to create a slide show of these photos but if
there are only two photos, not twenty, how can I end the slide show after
only two have been called for? If the files were on my server, I could use a
conditional FileExists but that doesn't work for a remote server.

Does anybody have a suggestion? (Please keep it G rated.)

You can use HEAD requests to verify that the images exists and cache the
results of the tests locally, something like:

cfloop condition=remoteFile exists
  cfhttp method=head url=remoteFile
  cfif (cfhttp.statusCode eq 404)
// file does not exist, break the loop
cfbreak
  cfelse
//  file exist, try next one
remoteFile = next remoteFile
  /cfif
/cfloop
application.lastFileThatExists = remoteFile

using CF to eliminate old Real Estate photos

2009-07-21 Thread Dave Long

I program and host for about 15 Real Estate Agent/Brokers in our area using
a server with CF5 installed..
 
The company that provides server management for our local Realtor's
association sends a zipped file of modified photos to my server each night.
The file contains new listings and updated photos for existing listings but
does not address the problem of accumulating expired or sold listings. Even
if I set the directory capacity to 3 GB, sooner or later the directory will
fill up. Therefore, I have to come up with a scheme to remove the
out-of-date photos to avoid reaching the directory's maximum allowed space.
 
So far, I have succeeded in creating a complete list of current MLS numbers
from the multiple tables this provider uses (query name: GetAll) and a
complete list of files contained in the images directory (using CFDIRECTORY
name = Photos.) Both of these queries produce exactly the data I expect.
 
However, I believe the hitch in my get-along comes from the file naming
convention used by the provider. They allow 12 photos per listing and name
each of photo by adding a letter to the end of the MLS number, so that
photos for MLS # 9 are named 9a, 9b, and so on.
 
Well, I thought I had it figured out. I tried to create a list of unmatched
files using this query:

CFQUERY name=GetUnmatched dataSource=#DSN#
SELECT Name
FROM Photos
WHERE %Name% NOT IN (cfqueryparam
value=#valueList(GetAll.MLS_Number)# cfsqltype=cf_sql_integer
list=true)
ORDER BY Name
/CFQUERY

and then use a CFFILE tag to delete the records found in the unmatched list.
 
However, I get an error when I run it. You can give it a try at
http://www.newnorthrealestate.com/GetMLSnew.cfm ( It takes a while to
generate the lists and you'll have to scroll way down to see the error
message)
 
Question: Can the wildcard % be used they way I have them in the
GetUnmatched query?
 
Is there a correct method for parsing the file names in the photo directory
and then doing the comparison?
 
Am I on the right track at all?
 
Thanks for taking a look at this.
 
Dave

Thanks for the info, Rick but unfortunately, the MLS numbers currently vary
between five and six digits. If that Real Estate market stays this bad, they
may go to seven or eight digit numbers. 

However, is it possible to create a list from the query Photos and Remove

 Without being able to test it since I use MySQL instead of 
 SQL server, I think the problem is the use of %Name% in that manner.
 
 You might try taking your MLS number query, GetAll, and 
 loop or output that over a second query, deleting the photo 
 if its name isn't found.
 
 cfoutput query = GetAll
 
 cfquery name = selectMatchingImage datasource=#dsn#
 
 selectname
 from  photos
 where left(name, 5) = '#GetAll.mlsNumber#'
 
 /cfquery
 
 cfif selectMatchingImage.recordCount eq 0
 
 cffile action = delete
 file   =
 #expandPath('/photos/#selectMatchingImage.name#')#
 
 /cfif
 
 /cfoutput
 
 That works with MySQL 5.  You'd need an equivalent for SQL 
 Server for the left(name, 5) if that doesn't work.  This also 
 assumes that the MLS numbers are always the first 5 digits, 
 and not more or less.
 
 Hope this helps somehow...

Finding values not in a list

2009-04-06 Thread Dave Long

I'm trying to create a page with two lists consisting of data from two
different sources. The first list is a table of real estate property
listings that have been processed and the second is a list of properties
*remaining* to be processed. 
 
First, I obtained the processed listings:
 

CFQUERY name=GetRecord dataSource=#DSN2
 SELECT MLS_number 
 FROM VPT
 ORDER BY MLS_number
/CFQUERY

 
Next I created a list from the first query:
 

CFOUTPUT query=GetRecord
CFSET list = #GetRecord.MLS_number#
/CFOUTPUT

 
To verify that the list was actually created, I ouptut the list to the
screen with 
 
#list#
 
Which produced this correct list of processed numbers:
 

87867 88623 89035 89094 89256 100336 100349 100506 100516 100519 100520
100521 100522 100708 100711 100713 100716 100719 100803 100804 100811 100815
100817 100868 101042 

 

Then I tried to create a list of unprocessed listings from the other DB by
comparing the  MLS_Number to the list:
 

CFQUERY name=GetResidential dataSource=#DSN1#
 SELECT MLS_Number
FROM Residential
WHERE List_Firm = #FirmID# AND MLS_Number NOT IN #list#
ORDER BY MLS_Number
 /CFQUERY

 
This produces the following error:

ODBC Error Code = 37000 (Syntax error or access violation) 



[MERANT][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 3: Incorrect syntax near
'101042'. 



SQL = SELECT MLS_Number, List_Price FROM Residential WHERE List_Firm = 175
AND MLS_Number NOT IN 101042 ORDER BY MLS_Number

First of all, I'm puzzled that it displays the last MLS number instread of
th first. Secondly, I suspect I need to have the list separated by commas
but it throws another syntax error if I include them in the CFSET tag. The
results do not change whether I use single or double quotes or no quotes at
all.
 
So far, I am unable to find any other syntax for comparing the second query
results to the list. Can anyone advise me?

RE: Finding values not in a list

2009-04-06 Thread Dave Long

Well, that helped... I think.

I added a comma to the CFSET that creates the list:

CFOUTPUT query=GetRecord
cfset list = #ViewField2#,
#list#
/CFOUTPUT

Which displays:

87867, 88623, 89035, 89094, 89256, 100336, 100349, 100506, 100516, 100519,
100520, 100521, 100522, 100708, 100711, 100713, 100716, 100719, 100803,
100804, 100811, 100815, 100817, 100868, 101042, 

And here's the comparison query now:

CFQUERY name=GetResidential dataSource=#DSN#
SELECT MLS_Number
FROM Residential
WHERE List_Firm = #FirmID#
AND MLS_Number NOT IN CFQUERYPARAM VALUE=(list) CFSQLTYPE=CF_SQL_INTEGER
SEPARATOR=,
ORDER BY MLS_Number
/CFQUERY

But now I get this error:

Error Diagnostic Information
VALUE
Invalid data '(list)' for CFSQLTYPE 'CF_SQL_INTEGER'.
 
Once again, I tried adding single and doublew quotes as well as # # to the
(list) in the query but still get errors.

What am I overlooking/

 look into the valueList() function for getting a 
 comma-delimited list of values from a query column.
 
 Your IN values need to be enclosed in parentheses:
 
  AND MLS_Number NOT IN (#valueList(GetRecord.MLS_number)#)
 
 ... and you'll also want to cfqueryparam that:
 
 AND MLS_Number NOT IN (cfqueryparam

Thanks to all. I get it now... http://; is NOT the start of an absolute
path but a URL and that's why it won't work. 

The photos occupy about 5 gigs of space and we were going to park them on a
different server but, on second look, we've got gobs of space left on the
same box as the Web site so we're just going to copy the pix over. That
should solve the problem, I hope.

Using FileExists function in a CFIF tag

2009-02-03 Thread Dave Long

I am attempting to prevent broken pictures on a page displaying details
regarding real estate listings. Agents are allowed to upload as many as 12
pictures of a particular listing but frequently post less than twelve. When
that happens, a broken picture emblem appears, and we want to eliminate
that.

An example of the (not working) test page can be found at:

http://www.vacationlandproperties.com/Residential_Listing.cfm?RecordID=89255

I have entered some extraneous code in order to determine that the correct
path is being used, thusly:

cfset PhotoLocation = http://mls.northernweb.net/images/Photo;
cfset PhotoLocation = PhotoLocation  ViewField20
table align=center cellpadding=1 cellspacing=0 border=0
trtd colspan=5 align=center#PhotoLocation#-2.jpegbr
cfif FileExists('#PhotoLocation#-2.jpeg')Yes, it's here.cfelseI couldn't
find it./cfif
/td/tr
 
As you can see at the test page, the path to the photo shows up correctly
but the CFIF tag is unable to produce desired results.

Any idea of what I am doing wrong? Is there a better way to test to see if a
file exists in order to avoid broken pictures on the page?

Thanks,

Dave Long

I found the initial learning curve to get it all set up how I wanted was

balance I still think CF Studio 5 is hard to beat; really the only reason
I'm using CFEclipse is because it's useful to have CF8 syntax (though it

RE: CF Studio 5

2008-06-04 Thread Dave Long
Thanks Gerald,

I understand about playing by the rules. It should be legal because I bought
and paid for Macromedia Studio MX and it was they who upgraded HS 5 plus to
CF Studio 5 in the first place.  If anyone knows otherwise, please advise.

As often happens when one corporation swallows another, the new owners only
seem to care about the old company's end users if they buy their new stuff.
I bought a lifetime subscription to MusicMatch Jukebox and after Yahoo
bought them out, they shut down the server with the registration key info,
so now I can't register the re-installed copy and it locks up trying to find
it. My attorney is looking into the possibility of a class action suit but
that's a long shot and highly unlikely to resolve the problem.

I'll send you a direct message tomorrow after someone has had a chance to
let us know if it is legal or not.

RE: insert/retrieve image into database SQL Server 2005/CF8?

2008-01-17 Thread Dave Long
I do it using a unix cron job timed to retrieve, unzip and rename the files
soon after they're refreshed on the remote server, then set a CF scheduled
task to run about 15 minutes later that deletes the existing records and
inserts the new ones from today.

The CF task takes about 10 minutes or less to install about 6,000 records
and I have found it a good idea to put a link to my real estate site in the
Windows startup folder so I can actually eyeball the app first thing every
day... it has rarely been known to fail for various reasons.

But it works great almost all the time. I even have a separate site to boost
links to my hosted brokers' sites and listings at
http://www.northgoodsrealestate.com. I'm sure it could be designed better
but at my skill level, this seems to work ok for my folks and includes a
number of different methods for visitors to search for a listing.

Subject: insert/retrieve image into database SQL Server 2005/CF8?

Hi,

I'm trying to insert an Image into MS SQL Server 2005 database using CF 8.
I started to work with the SQL Server 'Image' data type but I'm not sure
this data type is the best/correct choice.

Somebody has probably done this before, so what data-type should/could I use
in SQL Server - The choices include Image, binary, varbinary, and
varbinary(max).  Should I be using the new image tags or resorting to older
methods to achieve the path of least resistance?

Here is a sample of what I am working on, here I am just trying to read a
file and place it in the database

cffile action=READBINARY variable=ThisPicture
file=/var/www/images/staffpics/#staffID#.jpg
cfset myImage=ImageNew(ThisPicture)
cfquery name=qryinsertImage datasource=#CMSDSN#
Update tblStaff
Set staffphoto = cfqueryparam
value=#ImageGetBlob(myImage)# cfsqltype=cf_sql_blob
Where StaffID = #staffID#;
/cfquery
!--- write out the image: check to make sure something works.  ---
cfimage action=WRITETOBROWSER source=#myImage#br

I'm getting 
The source file should contain an extension, so that ColdFusion can
determine the image format.  Verify your inputs. The source file should
contain an extension, so that ColdFusion can determine the image format. 
as an error.  It isn't clear, at least to me, where I can be more specific
about setting the image format - is this an error from SQL server?  The
manual says If you do not specify a source image, an unknown source image
format error is generated, am I not pointing to my variable correctly?
The examples in the manual show an insert statement and I am trying to do an
update, is my query syntax messed up?

My next question is obviously about getting the images out of the DB, so if
there are any tricks to that, please feel free to elaborate.

Many thanks,

-Nate

RE: insert/retrieve image into database SQL Server 2005/CF8?

2008-01-17 Thread Dave Long
Our server still uses CF5 (can't afford the money to buy or the time to
wrestle with CF8) but it does the job for us most of the time.

Here's the basic method:

Your MySQL DB table is set up with appropriate fields and data types and in
the sequence as required by the MLS with which you are working, i.e.
MLSNumber (int)(ID_Field), bedrooms (vchar), baths(vchar), sq_ft (int),
price (int), etc. (The one I work with has almost 70 fields in each of two
separate tables, because they keep commercial listings separate from
residential.)

Once you have those set up, create and schedule your cron job in unix or
whatever is appropriate scripting language for your server for the
appropriate time when the new zip file will be available. If you can use CF8
to do the same thing, that is fetch the zip files, unzip them and rename
them to overwrite the previous day's download, do it. I just am unaware of
if or how that's done with any version of CF. I paid a local geek $20.00
to write it (10 lines of code) in unix for me and it works great.

Next, create the file(s) needed to do the task(s) It can be done in one file
but the more you ask the file to do, the more it is likely the server is
going to time out the job. The CF Administrator can be set to allow longer
times but that isn't always desirable. Better to schedule two or more tasks
and use less run time for each.

Here's a sample of a typical update.cfm:

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN

And that's it! Save the file and you should be able to set it up in the CF
Administrator to run at least 15 minutes after your cron job. But check it
because your MLS source files may not be available every day and when they
aren't, your table will have NO records. Then you might have to get in touch
with the folks at the MLS to nudge them into fixing their end. I'm sure it
might be possible to have the update file check the file size of the source
..txt file before overwriting it but I don't know how to do it. If someone
reads this that does, let me know. It sure could come in handy sometimes.

Nate, I hope this is helpful. Like I said, I'm not familiar with any version
of CF beyond CF5 and that's often a mystery to this old carpenter.

My apologies, Nate. I didn't catch on that your main problem was with the
images. 

Ours are stored on a separate server and referenced through the record ID.
Since I don't deal with the images, only the listings, my job is much
simpler.

There's no reason I know of why you can't use something like ImageMagick to
manage the images and rename them with the MLSnumber as part of the file
name.

Are you familiar with that?

Subject: Re: Tags useful to accomplish automating MLS direct feed into MySQL
DB?

Regarding CF taking forever to read/parse large files:

CF used to load the entire file into memory when trying to read it. It was
still doing this as of CF 6  7, but since it was then easier to directly
invoke Java, large files could be better handled using java.io.FileReader.

http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/read/86121.htm

A client of mine had a 70+Mb inventory CSV that I had to load into MySQL. On
CF 4/4.5/5, this process took at least 40 minutes. When we upgraded to CF 6,
I used the Java process and the import was down to less than 3 minutes.

CF 8 has incorporated java.io.FileReader into CFLOOP:

cfloop file=C:\\test.txt index=x /

So now CF can read large files on the fly without the overhead from previous
versions.

Also, many people don't know that MySQL can import CSV files directly if you
have the correct access:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/load-data.html

HTH, 

Adrian



Hi, all.

I assume some of you work on Real Estate sites where
you have to deal with a direct feed of data from MLS's.

The direct feed for one of my Real Estate sites currently
in development will be in the form of an FTP site, from which
I can download a zip file with all files, including a tab delimited
data file for properties and photos whose name will include broker's
MLS numbers so they can be matched to properties.

I will then import the tab delimited info and property filenames into
an MySQL database, and place the property photos into the appropriate
local server directory.

This is something I've never attempted before and I'd like to know,
first, if it's possible to automate this process so I don't have to
update everything manually each day.

If it is possible to automate the process, what tags should I look
to employ to carry this out.  Not asking for any code (yet! :o), but
just a bullet-point overview of the process.

Then I can go and do some research on how to put it together.  But I
thought
I'd just pick some experienced brains concerning the basic procedure.

Remember, I'm still thinking, for the most part in CF 4.5 terms, and there
will be a ton of tags and functionality I'm not even familiar with. such
as,
I've never written or used a CFC! :|

Thanks for any feedback on tags and, especially tutorial or blogs on the
subject.

Rick

RE: OT: Hosting

2008-01-14 Thread Dave Long
I've been using them for a while as well and, although their rates are
great, their support is iffy. After several months of trying to get a cron
job to run correctly on their server, I finally just gave up. No one there
speaks English well enough to understand the problem.

Then there are the features I would have to give up. My current provider is
local and allows me access to the CF Administration pages in order for me to
add ODBC datasources and schedule tasks. Hostnexus does not. It can take up
to several days to get a new site's DB up and running.

Also, my favorite MySQL DB manager, Navicat, does not work with their
system. Instead, they insist on the rather primitive (by comparison)
PHPMyAdmin.

The 80 sites I host will not be transferred to them, even though it would
cut my cost to less than 1/4 of what I pay now. There is still one site
remaining on their server and I really should move it off of there and stop
paying them.

Salutation in CF Mail list

2008-01-10 Thread Dave Long
I am trying to create a template to mail a newsletter to a list of members
by looping thru the members table. The main purpose of using cfloop is to
prevent each member from receiving the entire list of E-mail addresses in
the header as well as make the message a little more personal.

Is there anyway to have each copy display an individual greeting to each
recipient? Naming the query in the CFOUTPUT tag, causes the whole list of
names to display on every message but if eliminating the query name, only
returns the first name on the list, no matter to whom the message is
addressed.

Any advice you can share will be greatly appreciated.

(snip)
I believe that some people need to realize that their personal must have
feature is not necessarily even needed by other developers within this
community.

I rather thought this was the impetus for the survey. 

My passion for CF Studio 5 is not likely to be shared by a great number of
developers and therefore my plea is very likely to be passed over. However,
if a significant number of participants note a particular feature for a
specific tool, I'll bet Adobe will perk up and listen.

RE: Adobe ColdFusion IDE survey

2008-01-07 Thread Dave Long
Well, I've lurked around here for several of months now and you're finally
discussing a subject about which I have strong feelings.
 
Homesite and CF Studio are the only tools I've ever used to develop Web
apps. The Studio 5 CFML Wizards are great but should be easier to customize.
The custom buttons for the tool bars are too restrictive (two characters?
Come on!) but otherwise, I love it. It's particularly helpful when trying to
make sense of a JavaScript with the code jammed together in a single line.
(I use Extended replace to add a carriage return after the semicolon. It
also works great for changing .css file and datasource names when re-using
templates from other sites.)

I plan to continue using Studio 5 as long as it works on my operating system
even though I have Macromedia Studio MX. DreamWeaver MX came with a tutorial
but what I needed was a cookbook, There's no time to drain the swamp when
you're up to your sphincter in alligators!, so I never took the two or
three weeks off required to learn it. Maybe someday, if I retire or go out
of business.

BTW, Ben, your ColdFusion MX - WACK is never more than a forearm's length
away from me, and bless you for writing it, but it is also in the form of a
tutorial, which makes digging out the moment's essential code a more time
consuming effort than it could be. (See HTML, XHTML,  CSS, Sixth Edition
by Elizabeth Castro for a sample of the cookbook format to which I refer.)

Sorry to be so wordy but my purpose in posting is pretty simple: Please,
please, please, Adobe, don't take away the best darned tool I've ever owned
for programming new CF apps!

CF Studio Browse tab doesn't work

2007-08-27 Thread Dave Long
For some reason, I've never been able to develop mappings to preview .cfm
pages in the Browse tab of CF Studio, probably because I don't have my
server set up properly, but I was always able to preview static pages there.

 

A few weeks ago, this feature stopped working and I have no idea what I
might have done to cause this. I now receive an error message stating, This
browser only supports local files.

 

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

 

Dave

Thanks, Jerry. It took a lot of trial and error but I finally got it
working... even the .cfm pages are displaying data.

Great!

You need to tell studio how to translate file paths into urls.

You do this on the Debug - development mappings.

Anybody?  I'm trying to find a tool to manage my MySQL server remotely 
with the same ease phpMyAdmin provides.  Any push in the right direction 
would be great.  I would install php, but I want to keep my server 
overhead to a minimum.
