Trouble with CF 9 Spreadsheet functions
Hi, I'm going nuts trying to retrieve VALUES out of an Excel 2007 workbook with ColdFusion 9. What's happening is that I'm getting the 'formulas' instead of the 'values'. The formulas are 'cross sheet' formulas (meaning they refer to another sheet in the same workbook). I'm assuming this has something to do with the difficulty. Here's what I've tried so far: 1. reading sheet in with cfspreadsheet into a query. 2. reading sheet in with SpreadsheetRead into an object and then using SpreadsheetGetCellValue() to get the cell value. 3. I've updated the POI jar's in my CF 9 installation with 3.8 POI jar's from Apache 4. I've tried using Ben Nadel's POI Utility, but I get an object instantiation error on this line: LOCAL.ExcelFileSystem = CreateObject( java, org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.POIFSFileSystem ).Init( LOCAL.FileInputStream ); (I've confirmed that I'm using the full path (as is indicated on his website) I'm at a loss of how else to get this data out of the spreadsheet. Has someone had success with this and, if so, what can I do?

Excel 2003/2007 Recalculating Interaction
Hi all, I'm working with Excel using the Spreadsheet functions in CF 9. I have some weird behavior going on with formulas, and I have a workaround, but I don't like it, so I'm looking for some direction. I have an Excel 2007 spreadsheet. The spreadsheet has simple formulas on it that sum other cells. Here's what I do: 1. Open the Excel 2007 with ColdFusion 9 SpreadsheetRead() 2. Set some values in some of the cells 3. save the file with SpreadsheetWrite() Now, if I open the spreadsheet with Excel 2007 (on my desktop), the cells with the formulas have not 'recalculated' to reflect the newly entered values in the cells which they are summing. I don't know whether this is intended behavior or not, but it's not the behavior I want. So, here's my workaround. 1. On my desktop, I open the file in Excel 2007. 2. I save the file 'as' Excel Type 97-2003 (.xls) 3. When I save as this type I get a dialog asking me if I want to check compatibility when opening this file. I 'uncheck' the option and click continue. 4. I then get a dialog asking if I want this workbook to 'recalculate' every time it is opened. I say 'YES'. 5. The file is now saved as an .xls file. Now, when I work with this .xls file, and update the values in the respective cells with CF and then open the final version, all the formulas reflect the updated values. So, the bottom line is this issue is forcing me to use an older version of Excel files. I know that Excel 2007 files are built differently and utilize XML, but what I don't understand is why the recalculation is not happening automatically. Is there some 'underlying' function in the code CF is using that will force a 'recalculate' in the Excel 2007 file when I have it open in CF? Or is there some other solution someone has an idea for? Thanks!

Challenge
Okay, I have a challenge out there for all you who like challenges... For a few weeks now I have been trying to add a meeting request in Exchange with the cfexchangecalendar tag and set the 'show as free/busy/tentative/out of office' flag to FREE. I have not been successful. I have tried doing it not only with the built in tags in CF 9, but even manually using webdav requests. On this link, microsoft shows that there IS a property called 'busyStatus', however, if I set this property in the event structure I pass to cfexchangecalendar, ColdFusion says that it's not a valid property. And, of course, it's not mentioned in the CF docs either. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms877306(v=exchg.65).aspx I know there are some of you out there who like challenges, so I'm hoping this piques at least one of your interest. It almost seems like Adobe left this 'feature' out of the exchange features, which may be true, but I'm convinced there has to be a way to set it. Let me know your thoughts.

RE: problem with a condition cfif in a cfquery
Alex, You can't use a CF condition within your SQL that you want to evaluate each record in the query. For that, you'd need to use an SQL condition. You could use CF conditions inside your cfquery only to evaluate the 'text' of the query (like to decide WHICH SQL statement to use for example based on values that exist apart from your data). You can use a 'isnull' function to solve this (this is a DATABASE function, not a CF function, and is, therefore, DB dependent). I'm not sure which DB you are using, but for SQL Server it's isnull. For Oracle it's NVL. cfquery name=recipients datasource=labels SELECT isNull(emailaddr1,emailaddr2) as emailaddr ... /cfquery This says, if emailaddr1 has a value, then return it as 'emailaddr', but if it is null, then return the value in emailaddr as 'emailaddr'. If emailaddr2 is also null, then 'emailaddr2' will be null. If you want another default value such as 'N/A', then you would just wrap it all with another function like this: SELECT isNull(isNull(emailaddr1,emailaddr2),'N/A') as emailaddr Hope this helps!

RE: CFLogout confusion
Yes, I believe so. www is a 'subdomain', albeit a standard one, just like any other 'subdomain' (whatever.mysite.com for example) and each one represents a potentially different domain and therefore a different session. I've experienced this to, but in a positive way. When I did a site for a client, the requirement was to create 'affiliate' sites like this: Affiliate1.mysite.com Affiliate2.mysite.com And so on.this worked to my advantage of course, if someone was on affiliate1's site and logged in and doing something, they should not be logged into affiliate2's site and vice versa.

A user is logged into http://www.mysite.com and then clicks log out. I run cflogout and redirect her to http://mysite.com (note I missed the www off). There seems to be some kind of double session going on when I previously logged into http://www.mysite.com as well as http://mysite.com because after the logout I still see to be logged in as the user who previously logged into the other respective site (of course there is only one site). I hope this makes sense. Is this expected behaviour? Stefan ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: Session is invalid error is driving me nuts!
Steve, There are a number of ways (probably more than I'm listing here): 1. If you're using Application.cfm, sdd code to it so that if of your session (say, session.logged_in) is undefined, then it will redirect the user to a login page. This way, the 'processing' page for your form never even gets loaded and the result is no error (just a frustrated user from having filled out the form and now they will have to do it again) 2. Add a meta tag redirect to your form page that matches your session timeout. Although this is a client side redirect, it can accomplish pretty much the same thing - if there is no activity in the browser for that period of time, the page redirects to a specified page (your session has timed out, click here to login) or something like that. I would prefer option 1, but others prefer option 2. There are probably some other options some may have here on the list as well.

RE: Education
I can remember coding I did from more than 10 years ago, but I can't remember to pick up milk when I go to the grocery store for diapers (or vice versa!). I suppose that' what 40 will do to you! BTW - to chime in on the whole education thread - I have a BA degree in Religion which, as you can tell, perfectly qualifies me to be a ColdFusion developer. :) On top of that, I didn't earn my BA until I was 35 years old (of course, I started it when I was 28 - yeah, I know, 7 years...but hey, at least I finished it!). I have never been held back from my career because of a lack of a degree, let alone a technology degree, however, since I now have aspirations for management, I am working on a MS degree in CIS as it will help to get my resume in front of the right people for a management position in other companies. Although I would rather move up in my company, I just don't know what the prospects for that will be like in 3-5 years when I'm ready to move into management, so until then, I'll finish up this MS degree and then work on my MBA. Once I have MBA and MS in CIS, then I feel with my 20 years of IT experience that I will be perfectly qualified to jump into a management position.

RE: Sorting 2d arrays
Tony, Probably a ton of ways to do this. Would this get you what you want?: (note: the below would be for oracle, you need + instead of || for Sql server - not sure about what db you're using) cfquery datasource=whatever name=qMySuggestions select sql_id, alphanumeric_id || description as auto_suggest_descr from mytable union select sql_id, description || alphanumeric_id as auto_suggest_descr from mytable order by augo_suggest_descr /cfquery Now you should have a query with the results in the order you want them with the original sql_id also there. Now instead of looping through an array to do a match, you simply do a query of query: cfquery name=qFindMatch dbtype=query SELECT sql_id FROM qMySuggestions WHERE (put your condition here to find a match) /cfquery qFindMatch.sql_id is the record you want.

RE: Browser not recognizing CFM tags
It's possible if you associated .CFM files with an editor on your local machine and you did File/open in your browser and you selected a .CFM that was local on your machine that your browser might 'appear' to open the file, when, in reality, the associated program you associated with the .cfm files would actually be opening it.

Upgrading from CF MX6.1 to 8 - Verity question....
Hi all, We have an app that has been in 6.1 for years and we are finally working on upgrading it to CF 8. My questions is simple, although I'm afraid the answer will not be: Why does it take 5 times as long to create a collection in CF 8 as it does to create a collection CF MX 6.1 ? We have a module that creates about 24 collections. Each collection takes about 2 seconds to create in MX 6.1. In CF 8, they take around 10-12 seconds to create. This is Windows platform. I even checked to see if CF 8 collections have more files, and while, an empty collection in MX 6.1 has 27 files and 20 folders, an empty collection in CF 8 has 30 files, but only 9 folders. 47 hits to the OS in MX 6.1 and only 39 in CF 8 and it still takes 5 times as long. We have other modules that actually do indexing in these collections and those have also been running about 5 times as long. Has anyone run into this and, if so, can it be explained? Is there possibly something wrong? Thanks! Dave Phillips ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

But you said the cert works fine in firefox when you go the https://www.beeculture.com, right?

Code being truncated...
Hi all, CF8 - Linux environment We have a situation where the code in our module is being truncated. It's at a specific length ( characters). If I add or remove enough characters where the truncation occurs within a CF tag, I get a CF error on the page. If I add/remove enough characters so that the truncation happens within just regular HTML, then I don't get a CF error, but my output still doesn't look right because of the truncation. All content in the file past this point of truncation never makes it to the browser. Here's what we've tried to troubleshoot it: 1. We've taken the exact same code and ran it on another CF8 - Linux server and get the same result. 2. We've taken the exact same code and ran it on a Windows CF8 server and it works without a problem. 3. We've taken the exact same code and ran it on a Windows MX 6.1 server and it works without a problem. 4.

RE: Code being truncated...
Okay, so I'm going to answer my own question here for those who encounter this in the future. Apparently, the feature that Word has to save a Word Doc as filtered HTML is a little buggy... (surprise!). We had a form in Word and saved it as HTML (filtered) so it wouldn't have all the word specific tags in it. It turns out that there were three special characters that were NOT filtered when the html was saved. Two I've encountered before: the Word hyphen (ascii character 8211) and the Word apostrophe (ascii character 8217). In addition, we had checkboxes on the form (Word checkboxes, not HTML) and instead of Word converting those to HTML checkboxes, it saved them as ascii character 160, which happens to appear on your screen as a space (nice!). Bottom line is, what I had to do was take the entire content and stick it in a variable on my windows box (since it wasn't truncating on Windows) and loop through every character in the content and find the ones that were over ascii value 127. Once I did this, I found 160, 8211 8217. I then did some replaces on them and outputted the new content to the screen. I copied that from the source, saved it in my ORIGINAL CFM module and ran it and voila, no truncation. It is apparent that ColdFusion ON Linux has a problem with these characters. It's not the Linux web server (in our case WebSphere) because it worked fine with the special characters in the HTML file, but specifically ColdFusion. Anyway, just wanted to pass along the solution for those searching for this quirky behavior in the future. Dave Phillips ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: Using CFReport in a Websphere (linux) environment
Ain't that the truth - I guess I'm just lucky... Okay, I saw that post, and I don't have the ability to change the application environment by installing anything, but I do have the ability to modify the JVM configuration. It seems to me that the problem is that the system cannot find the class that is needed, and that if I were to locate that class within the CF installation (or the websphere installation) and add that path to the classpath option in the JVM config that this would solve my problem. The issue is I'm not sure where to look for this class or even how to find it easily (if that is even a possibility). Any thoughts?

This, of course, is completely a matter of opinion. I prefer 1 line - faster processing, and still easy to support. Again, that's MY opinion, and I'm sure we have about a hundred other opinions on this list. There's no doubt that there are many ways to accomplish something in ColdFusion.

Quick question on session issue (hopefully)
Hey folks, I have a quick question (hopefully). Something weird is going on, and I canât place it, and Iâm feeling like I'm having a brain freezeâ¦. This shouldnât be an issue. I have a simple application in MX 7. Application.cfm has the following: cfapplication name=zarts_tag5 sessionmanagement=true sessiontimeout=#createTimeSpan(7,0,0,0)# applicationtimeout=#createTimeSpan(30,0,0,0)# setclientcookies=true I have an index.cfm with a simple login form (username and password). That form posts to a file called âlogin_exec.cfmâ. This file then authenticates the user and after authentication is successful, I have: cfset session.isAuthorized = true If I put a dump of the session scope right after this, I can see that the variable IS getting set to true. So, after this, I had a CFLOCATION to my statistics.cfm page. But on the statistics.cfm page, a dump revealed that session.isAuthorized was now false. Now, I seemed to remember a bug in MX (or 5.0, canât remember which) that you couldnât do a cflocation after a set of cookies or session variables on a page or you would lose the variables. So, thinking this was my problem, I changed the cflocation to the following: script window.location = âstatistics.cfmâ; /script However, that didnât help the problem. The changes to the session scope that are made in login_exec.cfm are NOT persisting through to the next page, even with a client side re-direct. I have 10+ years experience in CF and the fact that I havenât figured this out yet is driving me nuts. Iâm sure itâs something simple that Iâm just not seeing. I guess hitting 40 will do that to you. :/ Anyone got any ideas where my culprit is? Thanks!

Re: Quick question on session issue (hopefully)
To answer both Brad and Dan: Brad: Yes, I have dumped the session and CFID, CFTOKEN and SESSION ID are all the same in both dumps. The dump in login_exec.cfm that shows session.isAuthorized value of true, and the dump in statistics.cfm that shows session.isAuthorized false, right after the client side redirects. Dan: I verified my cookies were on. I have been using IE 7, so I fired up firefox (pun intended) and tried it there. Same result. I even looked at the cookies in Firefox and found both the CFID and the CFTOKEN cookies with the same values that matches my dump. Do you think it has anything to do with developing on http://localhost:8300/ ? I can't imagine as I've done that for years. I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing.

Same application name.

Re: Quick question on session issue (hopefully)
Well, that didn't help either. I moved it to another server and it works fine, so apparently my code is not the issue. I restarted ColdFusion and that didn't help the situation either. The bottom line is, my session variables aren't getting persisted, but only on this machine.

CF Job Market
Hi all, My job will be ending sometime next year due to a merger. I'm a Senior level CF Developer with 10+ years experience. I am wondering what the job market is looking like out there for us senior type CF developers with the economy the way it is here in the US. What I'm concerned about most that I see is more job descriptions asking for mid-level and junior developers, and lower salaries for those as well. I'm wondering if I might have trouble finding a job when the time comes because my salary demands would be too high and/or the employer would rather pay someone a lower salary for less experience, thinking they are getting the same efficiency. Please share whatever your thoughts are on this topic. I think this thread will be useful for anyone visiting it in the next 12-18 months, so let's really try to provide some good 'intel', if you will on the 'near future' CF market. Thanks!

RE: CF Job Market
Michael, Long timers have their way and any other approach is met with hesitation and disdain. This is a personality issue, NOT a result of having 10+ years of experience. I know plenty of CFers who have been around for 10 years that are doing OOP in CF, including myself. Also, I 'embrace' new approaches, not meet them with 'hesitation and disdain'. It sounds to me like you've just had some bad experiences.

I am actually looking for Jr-Mid-Level CFMX programmers for this exact reason. Those with less time in the market typically are less procedural and more likely to have an OO state of mind. Also, our company is looking to move to .NET in the future and having someone who 1) knows CFMX from a CFC/OO standpoint will be more likely to understand the architectural challenges of the OO world 2) they are more likely to have a CS degree 3) They haven't developed a view of the way things should be. Long timers have their way and any other approach is met with hesitation and disdain. Also, greener programmers are more likely to have developed in Agile project management style organizations. If they haven't they are less likely to rebuff this approach. I want to preface all my comments with the fact that this is my view and not the entire IT fields perspective.

Most people from my experience who have been using CF for longer periods of time, 10+ years, don't use CF in a way that truly leverages the oop attributes of the language. In fact more times then not the longer someone has been using CF the higher the chances they use it in a procedural capacity. This is especially true if CF has been for the most part the only language they feel comfortable with. But even in circumstances where they know Java or ...Net when one sits down to do CF if they are veteran of the language they revert to the procedural form. Jr. to Mid level developers can often times imply that they have only been exposed to the J2EE platform versions of CF, especially if they have a comp sci degree where they are taught Java and C++. They program oop if for no other reason then they don't know how to do it any other way. So not only do you get the cheaper salary but you get someone with all the benefits of a true oop background..

RE: lists question
Michael, I like the form idea very much for cf-jobs. To be honest, I'm guessing most 'new' posters are posting with the form anyway (can you tell that?) The main reason I like it is that it can be structured so that we can always identify the pieces of information we need to know up front and those who are posting for the first time won't be so unsure about their post because the form itself will inform them on what they need to provide. I can't tell you how many posts I've seen over the years where the poster didn't even include the location of the job in the post. Too funny, really. :) Thanks for looking at this!

RE: What Cold Fusion Job boards are there?
I am a full-time permanent employee of a Fortune 500 company and am a full-time telecommuter. I live in Arlington, Texas and my boss and *most* of my team members are in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. It works out really well. I have full benefits as I am a regular employee. I have also managed employees remotely, and while I will admit that there are some challenges to managing remote employees, from a development perspective, you can collaborate and work together just as well remotely as you can in person, and in some cases, are even more productive. The issue that I think most managers have with hiring remote employees is TRUST. They don't trust the employee to be in front of their keyboard 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. What they fail to realize, is that most employees in an office aren't in front of their keyboard 8 hours a day either. There's chatting with their co-workers, going to coffee or smoke breaks, long lunches because you have to drive 15 minutes to a restaurant, etc. Also, you are more likely to be interrupted when someone (especially the end-user) can walk by your desk than if they must pick up the phone or IM you. In fact, if you're busy, and someone IM's you, just ignore it and answer later. If you're busy and someone phones you, ignore it and answer later. But if you're busy and someone walks by your desk, what are you going to do, say, sorry, I can't talk right now, can you please leave? No, you're going to stop what your doing, and interruptions can cost 2-5 times more than the actual time of the interruption (for example, interrupt a programmer for 10 minutes, and it could actually be a loss of 20-30 minutes because of the time it takes to get ramped back up and 'in the zone', depending on what they were doing at the time of interruption. All that is said to say this: When I become a manager again, I won't have any problem hiring remote employees. If they don't produce, then I will let them go and get someone who will. The bottom line is that most remote employees (if they have experience being remote) knows that and they will produce oftentimes, even better than someone 'in the office'. Results are what matters, not how much time is spent tapping on their keyboard. Are they meeting deadlines? Are they producing quality code? Then who cares where they are located!

RE: Here's an interesting little problem...
Rick,
What database are you using?
One thought that comes to mind is to do TWO selects with a UNION and give
each their own ORDER BY clause. Something like this:
Select . where class NOT in ('A','AA','AAA') ORDER BY class DESC
UNION ALL
Select . where class in ('A','AA','AAA') ORDER BY class ASC
You might need some parenthesis around the queries to make it work, not sure
which DB you're using.
At least that might get you on the right track.
I don't think a CASE statement would work in this 'case' (no pun intended),
but I've never tried one in an ORDER BY. Might be worth a shot.

RE: Here's an interesting little problem...
Because the column name will be represented by whatever the FIRST select is,
and in this case, that is 'top_shooter_class'. Try this:
cfquery name=get_results datasource=#application.dsn#
select t.name, t.date, t.time,
s.firstname, s.lastname, s.state, s.nsca,
r.con, r.class, r.shot, r.broke
from tournaments t, shooters s, registrations r
where r.shooter_id = s.shooter_id
andr.class in ('A', 'AA', 'AAA')
andr.tournament_id = t.tournament_id
andt.tournament_id = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=integer
value=#url.tournament_id#
order by class, broke desc
union all
select t.name, t.date, t.time,
s.firstname, s.lastname, s.state, s.nsca,
r.con, r.class, r.shot, r.broke
from tournaments t, shooters s, registrations r
where r.shooter_id = s.shooter_id
andr.class not in ('A', 'AA', 'AAA')
andr.tournament_id = t.tournament_id
andt.tournament_id = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=integer
value=#url.tournament_id#
order by class desc, broke desc
/cfquery
If that doesn't work, try some parentheses around each of the selects. If
that still doesn't work, last resort you can do this:
cfquery name=get_results1 datasource=#application.dsn#
select t.name, t.date, t.time,
s.firstname, s.lastname, s.state, s.nsca,
r.con, r.class, r.shot, r.broke

where r.shooter_id = s.shooter_id
andr.class in ('A', 'AA', 'AAA')

BJ, Post your form code (or a snippet) and what fields you're trying to validate and what you want validated and we can help. Also, check out the CF docs for CFFORM as it has a lot of built-in javascript validation that you can utilize through CF tags like CFINPUT and so on.

RE: cflayout weird problem
BJ,
Okay, not familiar with cf_betterselect, but the below should still work for
you:
Change your cfform tag to this:
cfform action=NewEmployeeEntry.cfm name=newEmpInsertForm method=POST
onsubmit=return doSubmit();
IN your head area, add the following:
script
function doSubmit() {
var oForm = document.newEmpInsertForm;
if(oForm.p_supervisor.selectedIndex == 0) {
alert('must select a supervisor');
return false;
}
if(oForm.p_location.selectedIndex == 0) {
alert('must select a location');
return false;
}
return true;
}
/script
Change your cfselect to:
select name=p_Location class=boxes required=yes message=select
location
option/option
cfoutput query=EmpLocationsList
option value=#emp_locat##emp_locat#/option
/cfoutput
/select
Modify the alerts to say whatever you want to say when wrong information is
entered.

Dave,
I am using cfform and some of the validation on tags with it. The two
places I don't is a custom tag I'm using cf_betterselect and the regular

the select tag I want the user to select a location and not have it default
to one so I put in an empty option tag. With this the validation will not
work when I set the cfselect tag to required.

RE: Query Too Complex for Access?
Acutally, the first part is correct. The listQualify() function actually just places 'single quotes' around each of the values in your valuelist since that would be required by the DB. List qualify doesn't check any variables. I noticed you had a stray /cfif tag. Were you missing a cfif condition as you only wanted to compare against 'some' of the records in getActiveWorks? If so, send your CFIF statement as we'll have to modify what I sent you earlier.

RE: Query Too Complex for Access?
David, I don't know if it will or not, you will just need to test. I'm sure there is some upper limit as to how many bytes you can send in a call to the DB, but I'm also betting that's driver dependent. Oh, if there is a possibility that getActiveWorks might be empty, you will want this: cfif getActiveWorks.recordCount AND Works.Inventory NOT IN (#listQualify(valueList(getActiveWorks.ThisReference),')#) /cfif If you don't have that condition around it, you could end up with this SQL, which would bomb: AND Works.Inventory NOT IN () If your app is going to exceed some limit, you may need to break your query down somehow. Hopefuly that won't be an issue though. Hope this helps!

RE: Web Service Issue , pls help
Vishnu,
Do you already have any current code that you are using? Your request is
not completely clear, but based on what I am 'assuming', you want to know
how you can invoke the java web service and retrieve the attachment from the
soap response.
I *think* you could do this with CFHTTP. CFHTTP can retrieve binary data by
specifying getAsBinary=yes in the CFHTTP call. So your call might look
something like this:
cfhttp url={url to web service here} getAsBinary=yes path={path to
folder where you want to store binary file here} filename={filename you
want for image} ...any other attributes you need
your cfhttpparam tags, if needed
/cfhttp
After you do that, you should then be able to retrieve the file a number of
ways:
1. if you just want to display the file, and it is in your web root:
img src={path and filename of the image you retrieved}
2. If you want to display the file, and it is not in your web root:
cfcontent ... (can't remember the parameters right now, but you can check
the docs)
3. If you want to move the file somewhere, then use:
cffile action=move source={path and filename of image you retrieved}
destination={new destination}
If this is not what you are looking for, please describe in more detail
exactly what you are trying to do with the data returned from the web
service and post any code you may already be using.
Sincerely,
Dave Phillips

RE: Creating a database with repeated information
Melissa, This is exactly what ColdFusion is designed to do. You will have ten separate .cfm files and each of the files represents one of your 10 pages. Whatever information is 'static' for each page (in other words, whatever information stays the same for every state) can be hardcoded into the .cfm file. Anything that is dynamic (can be different for each state) should be referenced in the database. There are a number of ways to accomplish this (as just about anything in ColdFusion can be done different ways) so you might get different ideas on here from other people, but you can simply pass a 'url' parameter called 'state_id' or something like that that references a unique column in your database and that represents the state. Then you will have a cfquery tag at the top of each of your .cfm pages that pulls the necessary 'dynamic' information from your database for each state. Finally, when you want to display dynamic information from the query, surround your output with a cfoutput tag and your queryname and column names with # signs like this: Welcome to cfoutput#qMyQuery.state_name/cfoutput Something like that. I recommend starting simple, with just creating your first page that displays the dynamic 'welcome to' message and then you can build it up from there. Dave -Original Message- From: Melissa Cope [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 18, 2008 8:25 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Creating a database with repeated information Let's say you're making a MySQL database-driven website for states and each state will originally be set up with the same ten pages worth of information. (All states will have a home page saying Welcome to our state, all will have a contact page saying Contact our state, etc.) Obviously each state will want to personalize their pages through a self-administration interface (being able to change their home page to Welcome to Rhode Island and adding information about historic sites, for example) so each state will have to have its own entries in the database for each page. Which means you're looking at 500 entries to set up. Is there a way to create the original ten entries, then somehow loop through the next 49? I certainly hope so.

RE: Creating a database with repeated information
Melissa, I think I have a little better understanding of what you want now. You are talking about the initial 'records' in your database (before the user can modify them) right? So, what you could do is set up a few lines of code (maybe put in a cfinclude even) that will query to see if that 'state' record exists and, if not, then it will create the state record. So something like this: cfquery tag to get your state information for whatever url.state was passed in Now have the following: cfif NOT qQueryname.recordCount in here, you put your cfquery to insert the state with your 'default information' (which you might also pull from the db with another SELECT ... after you insert, before leaving this cfif do the same cfquery you did initially to get the state information for url.state. /cfif now your code to display continues. This way, your state record gets created 'on demand' the first time someone visits a page for that state, and it's built dynamically. Is this closer to what you were looking for? If you just want to set up all records initially, and you will only do it once, you don't need a CF page for that. Just write your SQL and run it in the mySQL query browser or administrator to get all the records inserted initially. If it's a one time thing, I don't usually write a CF page for that, especially since it is only 50 queries you're talking about.

I figure each record will need five fields: the ubiquitous auto-incremented ID, the page title, the page content, then the state and the page name (to call in from the URL, like index.cfm?page=aboutstate=VA). Since all the states will have the same set of ten pages to start, it seems that one should be able to use a cfloop of insert statements. Where I get jammed up is figuring out how to tell it what state to insert in the state field. Would it need to be a long cfswitch saying if i=1 the state is AL, if i=2 the state is AK, etc.?

I believe you will need to do some custom javascript validation for this

how you could do it:
Add the following to cfform tag 'onsubmit=return doSubmit();
Then, inside your head tags, add the following:

vunction doSubmit() {
var oForm = document.formname;
if(oForm.discode.value != 'xyz123' oForm.discode.value != 'abc1234') {
alert('put your error message here');
return false;
}
// if we are here, then one of the values were entered.
if(oForm.discode.value == 'xyz123') {
oForm.paytype[0].checked = true;
}
else {
oForm.paytype[1].checked = true;
}

This is as assuming that your first radio button is NAxyz123 and your second
radio button is NAabc1234. You can adjust accordingly, but this should get
you on the right track.

HI
I need assistance with cfform validation, please.
I have a text field 'discode' that is not required however if it is filled
out it can only have 2 possible answers in it: 'xyz123' or 'abc1234'.
And then if the 'discode' field is filled out correctly with 1 of those 2
values then another radion button field 'paytype' needs to be set to
'NA#discode#'.
can anyone help me? thank you.

RE: javascript question
BJ,
Yes, there is a way you can do that. I'm not sure of the exact syntax, but
hopefully you can google this and get a solution:
You need to use the onkeypress event, something like this:
input type=text name=whatever onkeypress=changePeriod();
Your changePeriod() function should look at the window.event.keyCode (which
is the ascii value of the key pressed) and it matches the ascii value of a
period (46), change it to a tab (9). Something like this might work:
function changePeriod() {
if(window.event.keyCode == 46) {
window.event.keyCode = 9;
}
}
Try that and see if it works. I know it will work in IE, but not sure about
other browsers.
Hope this helps!
Sincerely,
Dave Phillips

I built a form for my users where they enter IP addresses. They are use to
putting in the .(period) in between the numbers but I built the form so all
they would have to do is type in the number. Is there a way I can change
the keystroke of a . (period) to a tab. So when they are typing they could
type in the . but it would tab over to the next field?

RE: Outputting columned UL tags
Why does this matter and why are we wasting bandwidth and time on this discussion? I'm sure that most people would agree that there are just some things in web development that are left up to the developer to choose and that there are almost always more than one way to do something? Why even make a big deal about it? Since I'm on my soap box, my other beef is people on this list who don't answer questions, but instead, ask why are you doing it that way?. It's happened more than once today already and I feel bad for those asking the questions, because they are looking at a solution. In some cases, it's good to offer alternative ways of doing things but, at least offer a possible answer to the question and THEN suggest another way of doing it. Responding with why aren't you doing it this way instead? and not evening offering an answer to the question can be very disappointing to a developer who has already banged their head against the wall for several minutes, hours or days before making themselves vulnerable by asking a question in an open forum like this. They sure don't need sarcastic remarks and/or time wasting remarks. Okay, I'm off my soap box now. :) Dave Phillips -Original Message- From: Claude Schneegans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 12:55 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Outputting columned UL tags then HTML tables are best used for database type information.

RE: cfform validation for newbie
Sorry, I thought the field was required. Try this:
if(oForm.discode.value.length 0 !(oForm.discount.value == 'xyz123' ||
oForm.discount.value == 'abc1234')) {
This says if they enter a value, and that value is NOT 'xyz123' or
'abc1234', then display the error.
If they don't enter a value, it will never evaluate the comparison
condition.
See how that works. If it doesn't work, post your code as you have it so we
can look at it all.

also i wanted to claify - i might not have been so clear in my request...
the user could enter 1 of 2 possible entries into the non-required field...
'xyz123' OR 'abc1234'
i only add that in because it looked like in the coding below - that it
would only accept the answer of 'xyz123' - do you know how you could have it
check for both?

The next level...
Hi all, I've been developing CF applications for over 10 years now. I've architected applications as well, taking them from concept through design, development, and implementation. I am now interested in making the shift into management. I'm not quite sure how to proceed and how to present myself. Several years ago, I did manager my own team of developers, but it was for my own company. I have since sold that company and have worked for other companies since 2005. Although I have 20 years of experience in IT, my Bachelor's degree is a BA in Religion and it is recent, from 2003 anyway. I've considered going back and getting a BS in Computer Science/Software Engineering, and then going on to get an MBA. I want to position myself to not only be a manager now, but also to be able to move into the director level position and above in the years to come. My current position is great, however, it may go away next year due to an impending acquisition of our company. As a result, moving up within my existing organization is probably not going to be an option for me. Any suggestions anyone has on how I should proceed? Thanks!

RE: cfarguments... determining which argument to use based on passed variables
Scott,
Although it is not well-formed ColdFusion, you could leave off the
cfargument tags altogether. They are not required. Then do whatever
logic you want
cffunction name=myTest
cfdump var=#arguments#
cfoutput
#arguments[1]#br
#arguments[2]#
/cfoutput
/cffunction
cfset myTest('blah',1)
You will see a dump of a structure with two keys, and you can access them
like an array.

RE: Submit ASP form using CFHTTP
They might be setting some cookies initially and also a session id of sorts. What you may need to do is hit their 'form' page once and capture the cookies (just dump the cfhttp scope after an initial hit and you can find them there - I think http-cookie scope, not sure). Then you will need to include those when you make the call to the form processor page. It will take some finagling, but you should be able to do it.

Jeanmarie,
Another way is like this:
cfset setVariable(SCx,listElement)
Or for more cfscript purists:
cfscript
loop here... {
setVariable(SCx,listElement);
}
Regarding cfset SC#x# = listEelment : Since this is an 'evaluation',
and I have heard that 'evaluations' cost more performance wise than using a
setVariable() with a concatenated variable name, I prefer to use the first
method I indicated above. However, I can't confirm this performance issue,
although maybe someone else on the list has done some performance testing
with 'evaluations' and can comment on that.

If you can't change the old code, you could right a CF page that you redirect all pages to in IIS.

RE: When is a struct not a struct ?
Hmm, so how can I reliably tell I'm holding a struct and not a CFC ? isStruct() and not isObject() ? I think you can tell when you are holding a struct and not a CFC like this: cfif isStruct() and NOT isObject() this is a struct cfif isStruct() and isObject() this is an Object Since isObject() will only return true if it is an object, if you check both of them to confirm you have a structure, you will know for sure. Of course, if you just interrogate isStruct() then you won't know for sure, but if you check both, you will since we have proven that isObject() returns false on a structure, even if you have loaded it with functions to make it LOOK like an object. Of course, if you're checking to see if something is an object, you don't have to check both, you can just do isObject(), but in your case, I think you want to know if it is a structure and I think based on what we've seen, to be 100% sure, you have to do both.

As far as I know, You can build reports without ColdFusion running, but in order to view, test and set up any needed datasources you need the ColdFusion server running. -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer http://www.sstwebworks.com/blog ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310203 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
RE: Query of Queries
Heath, Can you run the following in a test.cfm file on your server (OUTSIDE OF YOUR EXISTING APP): cfquery datasource=yourdatasource name=qTest SELECT ID FROM WHATEVER (just use a simple query here) /cfquery cfquery dbtype=query name=qTestQOQ SELECT ID FROM qTest /cfquery cfdump var=#qTest# cfdump var=#qTestQOQ# Just trying to narrow down the issue.

Could be that if you're using cfqueryparam on the original queries and the tables have changed, there might be a column mis-match. Adrian Today our development server got hung up. We had to restart coldfusion and after the restart all queries using query of queries stopped working. The error message says (string out of index 7). Our development server is a linux box with cf 6 installed. If any one has come across this issue please let me know. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310207 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
RE: Query of Queries
Yikes! Have you tried it with a different datasource? I can't imagine it is something with the way the database is returning the records, or even the driver for that matter, however, just to eliminate other possibilities. I'd try it with a different datasource (of the same type) and then if you still get it, a different datasource (of a different type), to rule that out too. If that still fails, then, since it is a development server, I would go ahead and reinstall CF and see if that solves the problem. If that doesn't work either, then I'm not sure what else to do short of deleting your entire installation and starting with a fresh new install. I'm sure you've thought of all that already, but I tried googling (as you have as well, I'm sure) and don't find any solutions out there on this, and I'm sure you don't want to be down longer than you need to be. Sorry I can't be of more help!

SOT: Forms Generator
Anyone know of a quick way to generate some forms for several database tables? I'm using oracle, but that's not even a requirement at this point. Just looking for something to start with to save me some time. Preferably something Open. Thanks!

Deleting Session on Browser Close
Hi all,
Most of you are probably familiar with the approach below to delete a
session on the closing of the browser. I have, however, an environment
where this is not working:
Browsers: All IE 6+
O/S: Linux (Websphere flavor I believe)
CF Ver: MX 6.1 (I know, I know - not my decision. )
Has anyone experienced this before? Here's the code I'm using (FYI - this
same code works for an app hosted on a Windows box):
cfif isdefined('Cookie.CFID') and isdefined('Cookie.CFTOKEN')
cfset Variables.cfid_local = Cookie.CFID
cfset Variables.cftoken_local = Cookie.CFTOKEN
cfcookie name=CFID value=#Variables.cfid_local#
cfcookie name=CFTOKEN value=#Variables.cftoken_local#
/cfif
Sincerely,
Dave Phillips

RE: Multiple documents in a single cfdocument
cfdocument site:livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/ And if you don't remember that syntax, just google: cfdocument 8 By adding the 8, it will generally get you the version 8 results (you can do the same for 7 usually, 6 6.1, sometimes and 5 rarely) :) Sincerely, Dave Phillips ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310263 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
