RE: Where are all the mid-level CF developers?
I have to disagree with this. There is a difference between a hobbyist and a developer. The hobbyist might not think that the application would need some sort of structure to it, but a developer who has created a couple of shopping carts or some other sort of dynamic application would probably agree with placing a structure in the app and or methodology. My belief with Fusebox, MACH-II, and a couple of the other communities out there that most of the CMFL community are developers and not just hobbyist. I mean come on, out side of BlueDragon being the only free CFML server, it would kind of be expensive to be a hobbyist with CFML. So I would say that you comment is wrong about average CFML developer. Jason L.

ALL SITES (let's assume I mean all dynamic sites - ignore static things) require Objects according to the average Java developer. Even the simple ones. The average CF Developer probably wouldn't say the same. Yes - a 5 page brochure site should have at least one object representing the brochure - probably another representing the person looking at it. That's true whether you use CF or Java. You know, if you dump the session scope in most apps I write, there's nothing but objects in it. That's because I develop CF Apps the same way any other J2EE developer would. Is it overkill? That depends on who you ask... but I tell you what, to get back to the original topic, I'd take a CF Developer who's asking for a high salary much more seriously if they showed me a code sample and it was built that way.

Believe me, I've seen a lot of bad Java Code and I've seen a lot of bad CF code. However, if you chose 500 CF Developers at random and asked them to build a simple site and you picked 500 Java developers at random and asked them to do the same, I'd bet everything I've got that a larger percentage of the CF applications would be designed and developed less than perfectly. Like I said, that's not the fault of CF it's the fault of the CF developers, BUT the reason behind it is partly CF's fault because it's easier to develop things the wrong way. Java is an Object Oriented language, and most Java developers will separate their app into objects and tiers. The code in their JSP tags, JSP pages, servlets, and Beans may not be great but at least the code IS encapsulated as such. With CF Developers it's more likely you'll end p with a mix of presentation and business logic, as well as unnecessary or poorly thought-out objects, because though it allows it, CF doesn't encourage encapsulation or object orientation. ~Simon Simon Horwith CIO, AboutWeb - http://www.aboutweb.com Editor-in-Chief, ColdFusion Developers Journal Member of Team Macromedia Macromedia Certified Master Instructor Blog - http://www.horwith.com ~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:11:2508 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/11 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm
RE: CF tags work inside of CSS
Actually if you have control of the Web server that host the CFML server you
could modify the server to have the CFMX server process the .css extensions.
We have done this in the past with .js and .css plus adding some new mime
types of our own like .whatever that is processed by CFMX.

Subject: CF tags work inside of CSS
Hi,
I have a colour theme which changes each month. Instead of having 12
different stylesheets to cover for the year i wanted to have some CF code at
top of my CSS page, something like:
cfswitch expression=#thisMonth#
cfcase value=january
cfset myColour = #08BF83
/cfcase
cfcase value=february
cfset myColour = #085F83
/cfcase
cfcase value=march
cfset myColour = #08B383
/cfcase
/cfswitch
So when I get down to the part in the stylesheet which says:
a.preferences:hover {
color: #FF;
background-color: #8DC63F;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-right: 6px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
padding-left: 6px;
border: 1px solid cfoutput#myColour#/cfoutput;
margin: 5px 4px;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 10px;
}
I've never tried this, do CF tags work in CSS?
Thanks for you time,
Saturday
ps: for those North Americans... cfset myColour = myColor ;)
(it's actually looks weird seeing it written as 'colour' nowadays).

RE: Application framework - examples
My apologies BarneyB. After further investigation this is a quote from the following URL: http://farcry.daemon.com.au/go/spectra Well the Farcry fourQ COAPI was originally born of a need to move away from Spectra to a purely CFMX code base. fourQ effectively represents a COAPI that functions in a similar vein to the way Spectra operated. Obviously that is where the comparison ends but nevertheless we have a bunch of code that Spectra hacks might find useful. In any event, these Spectra snippets may keep you occupied until you can build up the courage to migrate the Spectra objectstores to fourQ! It has been a while since I looked into this frame work and I now stand corrected.

Best method holding form data.
I know there is a current thread going on about transferring and holding form data into the confirmation page, but I would like to get some feedback on what people think is the best practice for storing the form data into the session scope and the process of doing so. Note that the form should be able to populate if in edit mode as well as be reused for new entries.Then the data should be stored into the session scope once the form has been submitted. Again, I am just inquiring on how other developers are accomplishing this, so I might hopefully reduce the amount of code that I am using to accomplish this same task. Thanks, Jason L.

OK, it works like this: - the add/edit fuseaction is called, with the id of the record to be edited. qry_widget.cfm checks for the existence of a structure or recordset with the same name first, and if it's not found, it then populates a recordset based on that id. If the id is not 0, the database is queried for the record. If the id is 0, querysim is called to create a blank recordset. Either way, this recordset is copied into the attributes scope. - the form fuse displays the populated form. All variables are in the form #attributes.queryname.fieldname#. If the id is 0, - the form is submitted to the validation fuse. If validation passes, the processing fuses are called (and will perform an insert if the id is 0 and an update if it's not). If validation fails, cfmodule is used to call the form display fuseaction again, with the layout suppressed. The entire attributes scope is passed into the cfmodule call with the same name as the query in the first step. The qry_widget.cfm fuse doesn't overwrite the passed in structure because it checks for it's existence before running the cfquery/querysim. - When the form display fuse is called, the variables are displayed because they're in the right format - #attributes.queryname.fieldname# - although in this case it's a structure not a recordset. At step one, you could use the querynew functions instead of querysim, but I think the custom tag is a nicer abstraction. Make sense? I think the code is a lot easier to understand than the explanation! -- Kay Smoljak http://kay.smoljak.com/ On Sun, 22 Aug 2004 00:27:50 -0400, Jason L.

RE: Best choice for ColdFusion Studio IDE...
Dave Watts wrote on 7/17/2004, 13:34: Because it might be more work to do this? Because it might not be worth the time on the part of the developer to spend this extra time? I disagree.If you are wanting to hit a particular market with a product, should you provide the extra time to provide the product in something that in cross platform?Although MS has cornered the market with it platform, I am seeing more and more distributions of the Unix/Linux workstations in Enterprises and other countries.So if you were serious about producing something that developers would want to use in their production and would want to promote to other developers, wouldn't restricting the product to one operating system hinder you marketability? That's funny. I've been working with Windows for the last ten years, with very little stress to my poor old computer. I've been using the same laptop for the last four years or so, actually, just replacing the hard disk when it failed. I rarely reinstall my operating system - again, only when I have a hardware failure, or when a new version comes out that I want to use. Wow, that is great, good for you!I have had similar results, but only after Windows 2K/Windows XP came out.By the way, if you wanted to use Windows XP for developing web applications do you realize that IIS will only allow one instance of a web server?That means that you would have to go with something like Apache HTTPD in order setup multiple web servers on different ports. BTW, Windows 2K still allows multiple http servers. I suspect that many developers use Linux or OS X because they're different, or may have a greater perceived coolness factor. I don't necessarily see higher productivity from those developers, though. Really, that is interesting.I always figured that developers developed on these platforms because a greater flexibility to create Cross OS Platform applications.Plus I have always found that Linux provides less stress on hardware while it is running.Plus, I am able to always have at my disposal code in the back end of the applications to tweak what I see necessary in order to create more robust applications both web and desktop. This is just my opinion though. ;-) Jason L. West, Sr. Internet Application Specialist, Sr. [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
RE: Best choice for ColdFusion Studio IDE...
Okay, I think we had lost focus on the subject of this discussion and that would be if the ROI would be there to develop cross platform applications for developers. Restricting most developers to on operating system to develop with your product is a poor choice.Developers are another bread of users to build applications for.Building applications for all other marketplaces is different when it comes to the general population.The funny thing is when you are developing application that are web based the end user has no care on whether it comes from a Unix, Sun, Windows, or Linux server.They are mainly concern whether the application gets the work done. (Business perspective) As for me I do care about whether or not an IDE has multiple builds for other platforms other than Windows.All though this is were the bigger share of the market is currently, will it be for the future?I mean as developers become more skilled and wiser to the abilities of other technologies, do you really want to restrict them to one operating platform in order to use your product?

RE: Best choice for ColdFusion Studio IDE...
I just wanted to make a quick comment on your development environment. WOW!Must be nice to have the money for all of that software. So what do you recommend to us 1099 people who are going from project to project ?Or the developers who have that idea for an application and are working to develop it out of there garage? Thanks Jason L. West, Sr Internet Application Specialist, Sr. Dave Watts wrote on 7/17/2004, 14:24: I'm not sure what counts as intense. I'm running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, with IIS 6, multiple instances of SQL Server 2000, multiple instances of JRun 4 with CFMX, Flex, Generator 2 (!) and other things. I also have Apache 2, Tomcat 5, and some other server odds and ends. I occasionally use VMware, within which I run Windows 2000, RH Linux 9, and Windows Server 2003. The key is not to turn all these things on at once! Especially not the VMware. I use Dreamweaver MX 2004, MS Office 2003, and Adobe Acrobat Professional 6 on a pretty regular basis. My mail client is Outlook 2003, with a local OST mirror of my Exchange mailbox. This local OST is approximately 2GB. I also have about 3GB of PST content on here that I access occasionally. I use VS.NET 2003 pretty regularly now, as I'm very interested in .NET Compact Framework stuff right now. Fortunately, I don't have to use all these things at once either, although Outlook is pretty much running 24/7. Since getting this laptop, I've upgraded the memory to 512MB, and upgraded the hard disk to 60GB.

Re: Best choice for ColdFusion Studio IDE...[ENCRYPTED]
To All: Man I am loving this Flame War.I wanted to respond to this particular post because it seems Sean has caught the most heat for his opinion on the products whether they are bias or not. I had some issues getting first setup with the He3, I had been forced to use the Eclipse plugin install method instead of the .exe install. (Which was not easy as well)Seems the installer is having issues finding the Java that I have installed on my Win XP.Oh well, all for the best. With that said, I also have the latest version of CFEclipse installed. That's right, both He3 and CFEclipse are complimenting each other with different features.For instance I use the Perspectives and MachII editor of He3 while editing my CFC and CFM files in the CFE.The insight for the tags is pulled from CFE. So if any one wants to download a zipped up version of what I got to use as their IDE please drop me an email and I will provide a way for you to download it. FAMOUS LINE Can't we all just get along?LOL Thanks, Jason L. West, Sr. Internet Application Specialist, Sr. Sean Corfield wrote on 7/15/2004, 02:02: Wrong. CFE has always had a cfml perspective. That was pointed out in the comments on that blog entry (which is why I specifically mentioned the comments were interesting). It isn't the default perspective after installing CFE and, unless you're familiar with the way Eclipse works, it isn't obvious how to change that at first. Quoting from one of my posts in the comments: OK, I found the CFML perspective in CFEclipse. Yes, that makes the workspace much better since it surfaces the snip tree view and the CFC methods view. That is just plain non-sense. First you can just close the view if you want - making it a cleaner (read less work put into it) interface. Again, assuming you are familiar enough with how Eclipse works. It's obvious how to minimize / maximize views but not obvious at first how to makes views go away altogether (or how to restore them later). Yes, I figured it out after a while but this all goes to how Eclipse + CFE JLW HAD TO TRIM THIS SO MY MESSAGE COULD POST ...

Yes, I figured it out after a while but this all goes to how Eclipse + CFE behaves out of the box vs how He3 behaves out of the box - CFE relies on users knowing a fair bit about Eclipse, He3 doesn't (or at least doesn't rely as much on it). A lot of CFers who've tried Eclipse say they don't like how complex it is (or appears to be) - it definitely takes some getting used to. CFEclipse has preferences - it always has. Again, read the comments where Spike points out how to find the CFE prefs and I respond Preferences. Thanx. I was looking for a dedicated CFEclipse preference section (like He3 has) so I didn't notice that. I can now set the insight delay to match what I have on He3!. It's another Eclipse complexity that is just easier to find in He3. Again this is silly - it's one line of code - a good thing about cfe is that it does number coloring?! Do you even write cf code Sean? Er, yeah, quite a bit actually... So even when I praise CFE (it's color-coding is better than He3's) I still get flamed? The comparison needs revisiting when He3 have fixed their color-coding of course but right now it's much easier to read code in CFE. There are key bindings that go with those that, of course, but you didn't even look for them (because they are with all the other key bindings in Eclipse) Right, so not knowing Eclipse, I wouldn't know where to look - if CFE had all its prefs in one place in a separate prefs group, I'd probably have found that and been happier. Having said that, I don't use shortcuts for snippets anyway in DW (set it up, tried it, found I was still usually quicker at just typing code instead of typing a mixture of code and special keystrokes... years of writing code with 'vi' is to blame for that I suspect). date inserter that inserts the date to where your cursor is in the file Er, I never insert the date into a file... Why would I need to? Can anyone say re-invent the wheel? There are at least 2 other plug ins for eclipse that do just that. Ease of use - He3 bundles a bunch of useful stuff that works well together whereas you're recommending that I spend time locating plugins and evaluating them to see which one suits me best. Again, it's the Eclipse-is-complex-and-I-need-to-learn-it-to-be-productive thing. If I can be productive without spending a lot of time and effort 'building' my IDE, I'm going to be happier. So you advocate duplication of effort - grand. You really like that the *CFML* focused he3 authors spend their time making regex views - okey dokey. I don't care if *they* have to duplicate effort if it helps me expend less effort. I don't want my IDE to be a pain to set up right and I don't want to have to go out to a bunch of sites and review endless extensions etc just to get something that another IDE has already. Even with DW, I only have two extensions installed - a TOC
