re: Video Streaming Provider
We use Amazon: S3 for storage and CloudFront to stream out the hosted videos from edge locations all over the world.

Each user will need to have access to a different set of videos. So, user 1 might have access to videos 100, 211, and 513, while user 2 has access to videos 21, 100, 513 and 624. So I'll need obviously need a different login, password, and access list for each user. I don't want to stream these videos on the organization's site, but rather from an external provider. Either I would just use this provider to stream the videos through a player on the organization's site (preferred), or move the user off to the video vendor's site and have the login and streaming happen there. In that case, I would need to set up the user specific video streaming lists at the provider. Either way, I am hoping to find a streaming video provider that has a straightforward API that I can use to stream the videos and possible to set up users, their passwords, and perhaps their access permissions to specific videos.

Re: How to search for all occurences of a string in a text?
Start by simplifying the regex: cfset reg = [^]+/([^/]+\.(jpg|gif|png)) / (It just gets every image reference inside double-quotes.) Then use REMatchNoCase() to get an array of all matches: cfset test = reMatchNoCase(reg, string) / (REFindNoCase() only gets one match, so it only works if you put it inside a conditional loop.) Then loop over the array and get the last list element using the / as the delimiter (and also strip out the trailing quote): cfoutput cfloop array=#test# index=a #listLast(listLast(a, ), /)# br / /cfloop /cfoutput On 11/18/2011 7:32 PM, marc -- wrote: Hi, I have a series of texts, each of which I want to search for the occurence of links to images.

Re: 20USD/Hour Seriously?
Morality, yes, as well as the experience of the person doing the hiring / paying: knowing when that extra 100 hours is BS ... That being said, back when I worked for a custom web development house, we quoted jobs by the project but we often got asked what the underlying hourly rate was. My boss, one of the owners, always said, What do you want it to be? The implication was that we had already fixed-bidded the project and we would do it for that amount regardless, and we had already estimated what we thought the hours were going to be, but if the client wanted to pay some specific hourly rate, we would simply adjust the hours to meet their dollar amount. (If the client didn't want to pay more than $50 / hr on a $60,000 project, then we just told them to assume it was a 1,200 hour project ...) They usually realized pretty quickly that they were asking a bad question, because they had no clue how to estimate our time. Now, when we did need to do something on actual time and materials, then of course we would agree to an hourly rate and track our hours very closely. Frankly, we tracked our hours closely on the fixed-bid work, too, because otherwise *we* had no way to determine whether or not we were making money on specific projects! In other words, it always helps to have some understanding of the work you are asking for ... like knowing when the auto mechanic is blowing smoke up your tailpipe.

Re: Email Management Software
If you're doing large volumes, I recommend ExactTarget. CF can't actually manage things like bounce-backs, since that's all on the email server-side. You could write all those hooks yourself, if your email server allows you to embed applications, but it's more efficient to let the pro's handle it for you, at least in my experience. Subscriptions you can certainly do with CF, but you can just as easily have your CF subscription system write back to ExactTarget when necessary, so they're not exclusive, depending on your needs.

when we copy from MS Word we get back chars that will not render correctly

We are using and have enhanced the UDF DeMoronize to pull bad chars but we
also want to just remove any char that is 225.
is there a way to do this other then doing a looP
for (i = 128; i LTE 160; i = i + 1)
{
Text = Replace(Text, Chr(i), , All);
}
We would want to strip anything greater then 225 and we do not want to run
this loop up to 3000 a large waste of processing to do this.
Open to any thoughts here.
Thanks in advance - the is always great.

re: Coldfusion 9 and jQuery
jQuery is all client-side, so it has nothing to do with the ColdFusion server at all. The files just have to be part of the HTML that your users use. You just put the *.js files (the core and any plug-ins) in a directory where your website can include them, and then you embed them in your user views just like you would any other JavaScript: script type=text/javascript src=scripts/jquery.min.js/script or whatever is appropriate to your environment.

Re: Form Field Validation
If startVal, endVal, and lengthVal represent your values in JS [like var
startVal = parseInt(myForm.start.value); ], then the following should work:
if (startVal % 3 != 0) {
alert(Start must be a multiple of 3.);
return false;
} else if (endVal % 3 != 0) {
alert(End must be a multiple of 3.);
return false;
} else if (endVal startVal) {
alert(End must be larger than Start.);
return false;
} else if (endVal lengthVal) {
alert(End cannot be larger than Length.);
return false;
}
return true;
You could put that into a function and call the function on the form
onsubmit(return myFunction()).

Re: Problem Using QueryNew
Ah, yeah, pretty sure nvarchar(MAX) was added in SQL 2005, unfortunately. So, to explain further, ntext holds only a pointer to the actual content elsewhere on the server, held in a Large Object (LOB). nvarchar(MAX) holds the first 8k of data in the table, so to speak, and then only pushes overflow data out via pointer. Since oftentimes the data in ntext fields isn't really that long (but the column has to account for those times it *is* long), by using MAX you actually save space and end up with an indexable column. The UPDATE basically pulls the first 8k of data into the table, replacing the old ntext pointer with the new MAX structure. Pete Freitag had an entry on it: http://www.petefreitag.com/item/734.cfm He further linked to another post about why to run the additional UPDATE as well: http://geekswithblogs.net/johnsPerfBlog/archive/2008/04/16/ntext-vs-nvarcharmax-in-sql-2005.aspx On 4/23/2011 9:56 PM, Jenny Gavin-Wear wrote: Hi Jason, Many thanks for your reply, it would be great if this will work on SQL 2000.

re: Session Variable question
In your Application.cfc or somewhere global like that (after session is created), drop this in: cfset cfT = cookie.CFTOKEN / cfset cfI = cookie.CFID / cfcookie name=CFTOKEN value=cfT / cfcookie name=CFIDE value=cfI / By not setting an 'expires' value in CFCOOKIE, this will ensure that the session timeout = browser close.

RE: Session Variable question
Like Dave said, CF / J2EE already are using cookies, but there's a difference between cookies held only in the browser (expires when browser closes) and cookies that are written to the user's HDD. If you're using session or client vars, then you're already using 1 of these, and probably both. Setting CFCOOKIE with no expiration is a browser-level cookie; no user files necessary.

RE: ColdFusion License and Builder
Dev and Hot Spare are 2 different things. You can always install full Enterprise on any server in Dev mode for free, and that has a 2 IP limit. Hot spare is a licensing change (came in 8.0.1, iirc) that allows a 'dark' server to have a full installation re-using your production license, but those 2 servers (production and hot spare) cannot both be running at the same time. This allows for true failover setups without doubling license costs, on Adobe's assumption that you are not really going to run both.

(You can tell I've had a couple of bad experiences lately... ;o) I'm want to move into developing sites for specific uses, such as for recreation departments or real estate agents and brokers, etc., and have them sign up for the site online, choose their template, put in their content, and, after a free trial period, they pay their money. If they need support, they can email me. If they want functional customization, I'll build a custom function for a client, charge them for it, then make that function available to anyone else using my SAAS sites. The customers will never own the sites and never have the opportunity to take the code elsewhere. If they want cosmetic or style customization, I can do that and charge them for it. It will still remain my site and not the client's site. I'll still build custom apps along the way, I'm sure, but I'd like to start making my work on an app/site pay more than one time. However, like you Matt, I may end up going back to individual customizations, if things don't work out so well on the SAAS front. I do have some clients who always insist on being absolutely unique and want to have the best site. To those who want to be absolutely unique, I can sell the template for a few thousand or whatever amount, and they'll have exclusive rights to use that template, but they still won't own it. Soon as they stop paying, the template goes back into the fold. I just want to test this approach and see if I can make it work. Rick PS - when it comes to the database, I'm leaning towards a different database for each client. I'd hate to have problems with a client's data and have to parse through everyone else's data to see what the problem is. Of course, I do have some common data databases that everyone would share...local area info, etc. But I'm currently still using distinct databases for client-specific data. -Original Message- From: Matt Robertson [mailto:websitema...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 1:02 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Feedback on this approach to many sites, one codebase (MSOC) Even though my own CMS can handle multiple sites running off of a single installation, I don't run it that way. The points brought up about clients wanting individual customizations and portability fit my situation. I understand if you are offering software-as-a-service things change, but for me this turned out to be enough of a headache that I reverted to separate installs and have never regretted it. If a customer wants an upgrade, they pay me an hour or two individually to make that happen. If they want a specific feature that I don't want to fold into the overall codebase, I can do it - and earn the money for doing it - without worrying about consequences on 40 other web sites on the server. But thats a business decision and not coding. Mentioned just as food for thought. For sites for my own company, where presently we have about 36 up and running and will be at around 60 when we are done, we *do* share a single codebase. There are no special mappings. Each site has an Application.cfm that looks like this: request.appName=AR_060110_1033; request.rootFolder=ARDotCom/; request.FQDN=www.mysiteAR.com; cfinclude template=../common/Application_common.cfm The common file has some server vars too: server.BaseRoot=C:/foo/bar/sites/; server.dsn= etc. etc. blah blah And thats enough - along with more code in the common Application.cfm - to set up absolute and relative paths to the files I have located in the common-use folder. Every site has its own independent application scope. I've opted to set the app name manually so I can reset session and app vars if need be... a rare occurrence but its nice to have the option available. The root of this web site is a root folder in a discrete IIS web site and, since CF has no trouble recursing back up beyond a web root insofar as physical paths go, the /common/ folder is not accessible from the web, but it is from CF. Very simple to set up. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now!
Re: Feedback on this approach to many sites, one codebase (MSOC)
Yes, I used this method for a long time by putting code right into the CF codebase. I used a different datasource for the DB updates, one that allowed MODIFY / ALTER / CREATE, and then had the code test against existing DB structures to decide which changes needed to be made along with that set of code changes. Still always appreciated having those changes made in one DB, but it wouldn't have mattered much because all changes were managed in the same codebase.

If you plan to use the domain name to create the application name and track sessions and users and what not, then you also need to allow for the fact that the site may be accessed via multiple domains (domain.com, www.domain.com and aliases) or build in automatic redirection so that this doesn't happen.

Re: Feedback on this approach to many sites, one codebase (MSOC)
If you're using shared server space, though, no need to spend money on a bunch of separate sites if they all need to use the same codebase. Just point them all the same IP, which I would do even if they're all on separate sites but the same server, but then I get to really have all the code in one place, with only having separate directories for site assets (CSS, HTML templates, images, file resources), just like Mura or other CMS systems do. I don't think SEO would have any way of knowing whether or not the site was set up separately in IIS or it was one app serving content on each domain through a single site in IIS. As for webstats, I go with Google Analytics, which is JS-based tracking, so the logs of the site itself are irrelevant because I don't find the need to do deep web server diagnostics.

Re: Feedback on this approach to many sites, one codebase (MSOC)
+1 to databasing all of it ... if you've got a system where these things change a lot, particularly new domains that might impact the Application.cfc, then definitely push the config to the database. As was mentioned before, you can handle redirects there as well: if domain.com is found in the DB and if the database record for that domain has a redirect to www.domain.com, then handle the redirect. Allows you to abstract it all in Application.cfc while giving you great flexibility in the administration of it.

Re: Clustering ColdFusion - some black holes
I agree with Dave on this one: set sticky sessions on the LB, and let each web server stand independently so there are no single failure points.

Re: Clustering ColdFusion - some black holes
Agreed. Back in the day we did actually need sessions to hold across servers, but we went with the client-vars-in-the-DB to do it. Don't know if AOL still does this, but back in 2004 when many end users (B2C) were still using AOL as their ISP, AOL had a habit of changing a user's IP every 3 or 4 page requests ... which played hell with load balanced e-commerce sites, since the LB treated a new IP as a new session which may or may not get the same server assignment. By linking the session from the browser to the application (via client vars) rather than from the browser to the server (via session vars) we were able to smoothly pass sessions within an application from one server to another without issue. Barring that, though, just for a typical web experience, it's simply not needed. If you could guarantee that users won't have their IPs changed in mid-visit, it would also not be needed.

This is true of most JEE containers (although JRun's session replication does seem a little less robust than some of the others). You may also generate a huge amount of internal network traffic as all session variable updates are replicated to other servers in the cluster. If you grow the cluster, you increase the network traffic as each server has to replicate to every other server - which is why most folks who even go down this path tend to partition the cluster into small, replicating groups with the load balancer set to failover only within a group (unless the whole group goes offline, when it fails over to a new group and you lose sessions). In general, very, very sites have such critical session data that they need to replicate. Everyone seems to think they need it but the reality is that failover is (should be!) rare enough that the number of end users adversely affected on most sites is minuscule and, frankly, if your servers are failing over regularly, you have bigger problems than session loss. One thing that a cluster with failover does buy you is the ability to do rolling deployments across the cluster with zero downtime (depending on how you manage database updates, of course), but even then there are other options, such as using a load balancer that supports session draining on sticky sessions etc (that was how we did it at macromedia.com / adobe.com).

Re: Coldfusion Standard and Load balancing env
As Dave notes, hardware load balancing works just fine in front of CF Std servers. The sticky session thing really is key, though, if you have any sort of session management in your applications. Another option to sticky sessions on the LB is to convert session structs to client structs within the applications, but that can be a bit of refactoring work, of course. If you go that route, just be sure to save Client vars to the database NOT the Registry, and understand that client scope can't hold complex data types, so structs, arrays, and queries need to be converted to WDDX or JSON or some other serialized format before they can be assigned to a client var.

There isn't really anything specific to CF configuration here. On the load balancer, you'll probably want to enable sticky sessions, as CF Standard can't replicate session data across CF servers like Enterprise can. That's really all, though.

Re: wireframe for developers
Yeah, clients are always going to want to know what it's going to look like. However, I've found it extremely helpful to segregate the wireframing from the design. In my experience, most clients put the cart before the horse, concentrating way too much (or too early, or both) on the aesthetics without giving much thought to how their site/app/whatever needs to work, how information will be delivered, etc. But what they don't realize is that it is, in fact, the information/content/etc. that should be driving the design, not the other way around. Amen to this! I can't count the number of times I've seen a beautiful design get completely hosed because the client decided at the last minute that half a dozen app functions should suddenly get Top Nav treatment. Nailing down the functional requirements first can be really helpful in determining what needs to be included in the design and how it needs to be treated (what's important, what's 2nd level, etc). ~| 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:340981 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
re: (ot) Server Setup Opinions
It used to be very bad to have DB and CF on the same server, but I'm not sure that's still the case ... probably depends largely on the RDBMS you're using.

RE: Regex Question
Yep, that'll work. Of course, listGetAt(cgi.path_info, 1, /) is the same as listFirst(cgi.path_info, /), so just passing the integer is a nice solution: returnVar = listGetAt(arguments.path_info, arguments.index, /); From: Robert Harrison rob...@austin-williams.com Sent: Friday, December 03, 2010 1:03 PM To: cf-talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Subject: RE: Regex Question listGetAt(cgi.path_info, 2, /) Great.

Re: Where to put your code
Well, I've been using frameworks since Fusebox 2 came out, so I still tend to follow generic CF framework conventions, if you can call them that. * display a message, a menu, or data: dsp.user.cfm, and depending on the framework, all displays probably go in a /views subfolder; there may be a /views folder for each module if it's a complex application; even if it's a long template, it's all in one file, I would find it highly inefficient to have to hunt around across multiple files for all the output that makes up a single page, excluding headers, footers, nav, and other site-wide or module-wide wrappers, which are generally site-level includes or wrapper templates * display a form for data entry or editing: frm.user.cfm, again usually in the proper /views subfolder * for years now I've used event-driven MVC style frameworks, so I use index.cfm as the front side controller: there is generally a site-level one and then another in each module, and the index.cfm files take care of handling the request and marshalling the necessary CFCs and views * CFCs are then used to handle all sorts of things: utility methods I tend to put in a root /components/Util.cfc or something like that and utilities as well as any singleton (yes, I know other languages don't mean the same thing, but I'm talking about the quasi-accepted CF 'singleton' here) CFCs are generally loaded into the application scope, whether by Application.cfc or by individual controllers; these generally go into /com subfolders * CFCs that are more like objects, such as file formatters or true classes (properties + methods, instances are not singletons and may be passed around within the application), I generally put into a /model subfolder, mostly just to distinguish them from the application-scope components This type of arrangement allows me, for example, to have a root-level index.cfm simply include the index.cfm of another module and voila, the whole module is available to the application. It's well organized in terms of having to show other developers around the application, and it makes the separation of concerns nice and clear, in my opinion.

Re: CFSTOREDPROC and invalid SQL
Been awhile since I had to use Oracle, but is sysdate a function? Can you try:
datetext := to_char(sysdate(), '-mm-dd');
Hi all,
So I'm very stuck and tired of saying mean things to my computer... so
I hope you are able to see something I'm missing.
In short, in order to trouble shoot a larger stored proc call, I've
created a very simple one to get working first. It just returns a
value.
Platforms: Oracle11g / CFMX7 (oracle drivers) / IIS6
The Stored Proc:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE FUNDING.OMGItsMixedCase (datetext out
varchar2
) is --AUTHID CURRENT_USER IS
BEGIN -- executable part starts here
datetext := to_char(sysdate, '-mm-dd');
END;
/
---
The CF Code to call it:
!--- I know setting the storedProc var works since I can call a
different storedProc on another schema with this method, though it
requires nothing passed in. ie: this code approach works elsewhere
---
cfset storedProc = FUNDING. OMGItsMixedCase()
cfstoredproc procedure=#storedProc# dataSource=databasemonster
debug=yes returncode=yes
cfprocparam type=out cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR
dbvarname=datetext /
/cfstoredproc
The error: (nemisis)

The error occurred in D:\somepath\act_updateProgramFund.cfm: line 50

What's with the param 1 in front of the call? then another param 2??

Oh, man, forgot about Lasso. Back in '98 or '99 I had to convert half a dozen sites from Lasso to ColdFusion. Lasso was fine, I guess, except that it was running on a Mac server :) From: andy matthews li...@commadelimited.com Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 9:01 PM To: cf-talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Subject: RE: Microsoft rumored to be buying Adobe Don't forget Lasso.

If this actually happened, I suspect that the product would be divested or discontinued. But I really doubt that this will happen. The only thing that Adobe has that MS doesn't is the design tools market. There isn't much history of MS buying established competitors to their own products. And speaking of established competitors, during the existence of CF, Microsoft has gone through at least four different competing products: they had a couple of things before ASP (IDC and HTX I think), then there was ASP, then ASP.NET. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337975 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
