Re: Error occurred on line -1 ???
Are you using fusebox? I've seen similar messages when trying to debug a large fusebox app before. It never tells me the *actual* line number, usually its line number 1:8899. The line number stays the same it's the column number that changes, and it's always an impossibly huge number. -Patti Joshua Miller wrote: Anyone else seen this error?

Template Numbering in fusebox errors WAS Re: Error occurred on line -1 ???
Interesting... That explains why you were seeing -1 then, doesn't it. I'm curious, however, to hear if anyone else has noticed the 1:8899 thing in their fusebox error messages. I've always assumed that this was part and parcel of using fusebox. But, if there's a way for me to get back normal template numbering in the error messages I'd be quite happy to hear. It sucks when the cause behind the error is something innocouous like a missing ; or a out of place, and the line numbers do absolutely nothing to narrow down the area where things went wrong.

Re: Try this code: WDDX problem recreated
I figured the answer would be similar. In my actual use I need to loop over
a query without knowing what the columns are, so I use the
recordset.columnlist in my list loop. That's why I created the structure
with testquery[i], so I could approximate query[foo].
So if I say testquery[1], don't I still need to supply the columnname
somehow to get at the values? Would that be testquery[1].foo? If it is,
how would I approximate that without knowing what foo actually is at
runtime?

Patti, it has been my experience that whenever you use bracket notation

testquery[i] to testquery[1] the code should work as you want. I don't
believe this is really a bug per se, just a usage case. (Although you
could say that if query.foo always equals run one, then query[foo]
should as well.

WDDX bug?: structure keys into arrays unintentionally
Has anybody else seen this? I've got a large structure with a bunch of single key values like: Doprotocol | 1 Eventdate | 2002-01-09 Gender | male When I wddx it and look at the results, a lot of these keys are turned into arrays. Not only that, but some of the arrays have 4 indices (all with the same values: Doprotocol | 1 Eventdate | -- array -- 1: 2002-01-09 2: 2002-01-09 3: 2002-01-09 4: 2002-01-09 Gender | -- array -- 1: male Why?

Re: WDDX bug?: structure keys into arrays unintentionally
Yes I'm sure. Before I postsed to the list I ran an independent test, where I grabbed the structure, printed it out with dump, wddxed it, printed it out with dump and there it is. Arrays where there are supposed to be keys. In fact, just because I'm someone who is always willing to think it could be my fault, let me try it again... [time passes] Yep. Same result. Here is the code I used. [cfinvoke component=#request.components_path#.cmpCaerReport method=getReport returnvariable=realReport] [cfinvokeargument name=saeid value=1071] [cfinvokeargument name=resolveJoins value=1] [/cfinvoke] [cfdump var=#realReport# label=real report expand=no] [cfwddx input=#realReport# output=wddxReport action=cfml2wddx] [cfdump var=#wddxReport# label=wddx report expand=no] When Ilook at real report I see a nice structure that is mostly made up of single keys. There are a couple of arrys in the structure to begin with, but I know about thos. When I look at wddx report I see a structure with a lot of extra arrays where all those single keys used to be. Might be nice if I intended them to be there, but I don't. Anybody else got any ideas? -patti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yup, works in CFMX.

Re: WDDX bug?: structure keys into arrays unintentionally
The only other thing I have to add is that it seems like the keys that are becoming arrays are those keys that are themselves nested into another structure.

CFLOGIN, Web Server Auth, Timeout and unwanted caching
I am using web server authentication to authenticate users entering my site. I am then using cflogin and queries to authorize their access. I am seeing problems. If I allow a cflogout tag to process it gets rid of the users roles just fine... But it does not trigger the cflogin tag to run the authorization queries again. This seems to be related to the cflogin tag's idletimeout attribute and maybe a caching behavior that I can see evidence of, but have no idea exactly how its happening. I want to match the cflogin idletimeout to my session timeout. I am setting some session variables inside the cflogin tag, for site personalization uses mainly. If I expire the session variables early then I am finding that the cflogin tag is never re-activating, thus resetting the session variables... Even if the user closes their browser and goes through the web server authentication process again. Lets say that I decide never to allow the session variables to be cleared and they only expire naturally ... And lets also assume that I don't use a cflogout tag and let the login timeout expire naturally. Then I am still seeing a problem when the user closes the browser and re-authenticates through the web browser popup. Using a *different* username and password, the cflogin tag still does not run and the session variables remain set to the last entered. Not good. For shits and giggles, I set the cflogin timeout value to 1 second. This works. The cflogin tag *always* runs the code between its cflogin and /cflogin tags (pretty much, you've got to be a fast clicker for it not to) and as such always pickes up the newest and best info. Great. But I shouldn't have to run the cflogin tag every time, should I? This is why it seems to me that the cflogin tag is caching the info somehow. I have known about the problem with using application authentication and naming your formfields j_username and j_password. I ran into that problem months ago. Yet, since I'm using web auth, that ain't my problem. One thing to note: In my code I have a condition that fires when the user's does NOT pass authorization. I display a particular template. This template always seems to display when it should, regardless of the cflogin timeout, cflogout tag or what have you. So, the cflogin tag itself works... I just can't get the crap in the middle to run when I think it should unless I set the timeout to 1 second. Here is a simplified version of my code (original cflogin timeout included). !--- Process the login--- cflogin idletimeout=86400 cfif IsDefined( cflogin ) !--- Check for user in database.

And lets also assume that I don't use a cflogout tag and let the login timeout expire naturally. Then I am still seeing a problem when the user closes the browser and re-authenticates through the web browser popup. Using a *different* username and password, the cflogin tag still does not run and the session variables remain set to the last entered. Not good. For sh**s and giggles, I set the cflogin timeout value to 1 second. This works. The cflogin tag *always* runs the code between its [cflogin] and [/cflogin] tags (pretty much, you've got to be a fast clicker for it not to) and as such always pickes up the newest and best info. Great. But I shouldn't have to run the cflogin tag every time, should I? This is why it seems to me that the cflogin tag is caching the info somehow. I have known about the problem with using application authentication and naming your formfields j_username and j_password. I ran into that problem months ago. Yet, since I'm using web auth, that ain't my problem. One thing to note: In my code I have a condition that fires when the user's does NOT pass authorization. I display a particular template. This template always seems to display when it should, regardless of the cflogin timeout, cflogout tag or what have you. So, the cflogin tag itself works... I just can't get the crap in the middle to run when I think it should unless I set the timeout to 1 second. Here is a simplified version of my code (original cflogin timeout included). [!--- Process the login---] [cflogin idletimeout=86400] [cfif IsDefined( cflogin )] [!--- Check for user in database. Find roles of the authenticated user. ---] [cfquery name=authorize datasource=#request.dsn#] ... Stuff ...

Trouble with DWMX, RDS, SSL
I had been using RDS to access my files when the system administrators installed a SSL certificate and put the entire site behind SSL. Since then I have not been able to get to my files through DWMX. I tried changing the port in the RDS settings from 80 to 443 (although I'm not actually sure about that) and I tried changing the url prefix to https://mydomainname.com;. Is there something else I'm missing? Some combination of things or preference someplace? I've searched the MM support docs, but the highest match I can find is only 52%, and seems to say nothing about SSL (even though I searched for DWMX, RDS, SSL). I also searched through the archives with similar results. I'm primarily using Mac DWMX, though I also have access to Win DWMX if that makes a difference.

OT: Recommend a good intro book to Objective C
Can anyone recommend a good intro book to Objective C. The target of this book is not myself, but a person with knowledge of C, Java... Who has gone through some of a computer science degree and generally knows what he's talking about. He has the O'Reilley book on learning Cocoa, but doesn't like it. The book assumes that the user has more Objective C knowledge than he does... So hence the request about the intro to Objective C book...

Re: Application Framework problem
No, It's not. Though you may be keeping your code in includes, you're still using Application.cfm and onrequestend.cfm to call the includes. You might as well be writing the code directly to application.cfm and onrequestend.cfm, because coldfusion processes the contents of an include AS IF THEY BELONG IN THE PAGE THAT CALLS THEM (sorry for the shouting, it was for emphasis only). So, after the server has done its work, calling the includes from these pages amounts to the same thing. What you need to do, in order to be consistent with how application.cfm and onrequestend.cfm are supposed to be used, is to write a custom tag that contains your header and your footer and call the tag specifically around all of your display templates. For example: Mylookandfeel_customtag.cfm cfswitch expression=#thistag.executionmode# cfcase value=start htmlheadtitle/title/headbody tabletrtd /cfcase !---nothing goes here --- cfcase value=end /td/tr/table /body/html /cfcase /cfswitch Myactualpage.cfm cfmodule template=mylookandfeel_customtag.cfm This is the actual code on my page. Yay, aren't I all pretty and formatted! /cfmodule Obviously this is just a toy example, but it illustrates the point. You store the formatting in mylookandfeel_customtaglcfm. You split the look in feel in half, determining where the body of the page will lie and everything above that point is in the fist case statement while everything below that point lies in the second case statement. On the page where your acutual content lies, you use a cfmodule tag to call the wrapper. Make sure the path you use in the template attribute is correct. In my little toy example I assume that I've saved the custom tag in the same directory as the page that will call it. This may not be the best site design, of course. If you store your tags in a separate central location, use a coldfusion mapping to create a path to the folder where it's located and call the mapping in the template attribute. Now you may ask, why is it such a bad, horrible thing to use application.cfm and onrequestend.cfm like you are? After all, it's so much easier to put the header and footer includes there ONCE rather than having to specifically call that pesky custom tag everything you want to put a table and some buttons around things. Well, the thing is if you put that kind of code in application.cfm, you'll be calling it EVERY time youc all ANY template. For example, lets say that in your page you are calling a couple of includes... Maybe one has a udf library. Maybe another has a whole bunch of queries. Maybe another has a calendar or something reusable like that. In that case you will be calling application.cfm 4 times... Not just once, because every time one of those includes gets called, the application.cfm file is run first. All The Time. You can imagine how horrible the resulting page would look if you ended up with four headers all nested inside one another. This is kind of an exaggeration, but I hope it illustrated the point as to why you never put anything other that application *logic* in an application.cfm or onrequestend.cfm. It's a gross abuse of the system and before long, as soon as your sites get any kind of complexity to them, it will cause many more headaches that it seems to solve. Not a sermon... Just a ... Well... Ok, maybe it was a sermon. -Patti Rick H Kennerly wrote: |o| your development in due course.

I'm making an order form where each item is laid out in a table row with:itemNO,desc,price,quantity (input/text box). This is not a shopping cart. Just an order form for people who have an account. The items ordered will be sent to my client as an email, then also posted on the action page for the site visitor (you ordered x,y,z).

Re: Returning columns with null values when specific columns are unknown at runtime
Gee thanks! Ok, I will. I'll have to wait a couple of days, though. While
I'm offsite I don't have access to the SQL server due to the client's rather
anal security.
I've read it through a couple of times and I'm pretty sure I see what's
going on. The only question I have, though it may be obvious, is to check
if I'm to pass in the @tablename, @pk, @uid values to the procedure like I
think I am. And what is the difference between the @pk and @uid variables?
@pk is primary key, yes? Is @uid the same value?

This will trigger the false you were looking for since when status_code

Question: Var when writing components
Now, I know that when you are writing a UDF you use var to scope all local udf variables, keeping them from existing in the variables scope of the calling page. I have physically seen this behavior in my tests. But... What I'm not understanding is if var is necessary in the same way or for the same reasons when writing components. I know Raymond says it is so... And I'm not suggesting he's wrong, I'd just like to know why. When I write a component and do not use var the local variables in my component stay local to the component... I can't examine them when I'm viewing the variables scope on the calling page. Is there a reason (other than good form) to use var when building a component?

Re: Using THIS scope in CFCs
All right. I can see the difference from your example. Now, just to be like the proverbial toddler that doesn't know when to stop asking why... Now explain cfproperty. In the example below, for example, what would be different if you made ID a property of the human object rather than a non-var local variable? In that case would ID be something that *is* viewable/changeable by the user (which would be a bad idea for an ID, of course).

But if by not var-ing, you run the risk of variable overwriting when calling cfcs from other cfcs, then why is it more local or private not to var? Sorry, let me back up a bit. Imagine a CFC that looks like so: cfcomponent displayName=human cfset this.name = Nameless cfset this.age = 0 !--- various methods --- /cfcomponent What I have here is the bare skeleton of a human CFC. I also define to variables, name and age, in the this scope. These values are public. If I make an instance of human called Ray, I can output ray.name. So - it's not that much of a stretch to imagine needing data that is NOT public. For example, maybe ID: cfset this.name = Nameless cfset this.age = 0 cfset ID = createUUID() The ID value will persist along with name and age, but will not be viewable/changeble by the user. So - how would you use this data in methods? You would treat it as any other global variable. That means if you have methods that also use the variable ID, but you mean it to be a temp var, you would need to var scope them. The basic idea is - if you use data that is NOT This scoped or var scoped, you can consider it as a private variable. As long as you are anal about var scoping everything else, these values will be safe. Make sense? Before certain people jump on me - I am NOT saying this is 100% like the private scope in Java. I'm just saying it acts like a set of data that is private to the CFC. Enjoy.

Component Calls: What would you do?

I have begun to write a component called Audit Trail that will be used to log all of the user's actions. Which would you do to implement the audit?

Of course keep in mind that I'm going to have to call the auditTrail component every time an insert, edit or delete action is made...

Re: Component Calls: What would you do?
Either one is functional. It depends on what you are trying to do. Do you want to log every single time you use the edit (Insert / Delete) functions? If so, then write the code directly into the department component. Does AuditTrail have any function other than logging actions in department? If not, there is probably no need for it to be a separate component. Perhaps it could be a private method inside the department component? AuditTrail doesn't do anything other than log events, BUT it will be used all over the place, not just in conjunction with departments. Since I'll be using this all over the place I wrote it as its own component and will plan to call it everytime a logging action needs to happen. If you truly want to apply OO concepts to your design, you may want to look into picking up an Object Oriented design book. If you can find one that is language independent, it would probably be more beneficial than a language-driven book. Of course. Picking up books is always useful. In this case, though I don't have the time that I personally need to absorb book larnin' to the point where I can directly apply it. So I'm proceeding as best as I can with the knowledge that I have... And the human resources I have available to me when absolutely necessary. I saw Ray mentioned the possibility of inheriting the auditTrail CFC in the department CFC. That is probably not an OO solution, since a department is not an auditTrail. This would be an is-a relationship, and is usually implemented using inheritance. Makes sense. A department has an audit trail, though. This is a has-a relationship, which is usually implemented using properties. You could make a property with the type being auditTrail. However, I am unclear as to how you would access methods of auditTrail via the property of department. ( if that makes sense). Hmm. Sounds like a possibility, but since I've not run across any articles pertaining to the use of component properties (or if I have I haven't read them through well enough) I've been staying away from properties. So far I've just worked with my departments component which contains doer-type functions... I haven't built components that make instances of anything real. Since properties make me thing of instantiatable objects, I haven't considered using them... Mostly because I can't fathom how I should use them based on how I've structured the component(s) I've built so far. Mom always said I had to learn the hard way.

Re: Component Calls: What would you do?
That sounds somewhat familiar (I've been listening to this kind of talk RE:
Flash Actionscript for quite a while). It's one of those concepts where I
don't get lost when listening to someone explain it, but when trying to
figure out how to implement I get headaches.
Luckily you've already said that it isn't really possible in CFMX, which
neatly takes the weight off of my somewhat taxed shoulders.
Well since you asked... the way to do this more OO isn't really possible
in CFMX. However, if you interested in how it would be done in Java,
then here you go.
You would create a Department class just as you described above. Instead
of creating an audit trail class you would create a Audit interface. You
would want to create an implementation of the Audit interface with a
class callded AuditTrail. Then create a new class, AuditedDepartment
that extends the Department class and implements the Audit interface.
The AuditedDeparment class would override the methods of the Department
class, but call the super class's methods and the AuditTrail's methods.
For example, the edit method might look like this.
public void edit()
{
super.edit();
auditTrail.log();
}

So we were waiting for masses to test 5.0 for us and now CF5.0 seems to be a stable product. Due to unexpected external circumstances we did not purchase the CF5.0 upgrade before the MX release. The introduction of MX looks interesting but hasn't seen mass use yet so we'll wait a while. Besides, MX does not support our web server Deerfield Website (formerly O'Reilly website pro). We can't use it right now without switching web servers, and I cannot afford the time such a task would entail, to say nothing of the cost. And No we will never use IIS, I would go out of business before switching to IIS, as irrational a statement as that may sound. I have queried Macromedia via email on acquiring a CF5.0 upgrade and I awaiting their response. If I don't hear from them by Monday I guess I'll have to start calling Software supply houses to see if someone has a copy or two on the shelf I can purchase.

Dennis, Sounds like you'll have to go straight from 4 to MX. Should have bought 5.0 after 5.0 was released. :/ ~Todd On Fri, 31 May 2002, UXB Internet wrote: Vernon Viehe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] said: Since CFStudio is no longer a product for sale, there's no trial of it.

Re: [style] usernames
What do you do, then, if by chance the old email address that the user signed up with is no longer in service? Then, even if they could remember the right email they couldn't retrieve the password? This has happened to me before and I've been SOL. -Patti As for username/password retrieval All we ask for is an email address. Easy enough ... Unless of course you forget your email address that you used and we've never had that problem yet (knock on wood). Even someone like myself, who has 1/2 dozen or more email addresses can always keep poking away until they've found the email address that's on file. I've done it, so I know it's not that big of a deal. The password reminder feature that I implement always emails both the username and password to the forgetful user. __ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
DWMX + CFMX as standalone server
I'm doubting that I'll get the answer I'm looking for, but thought I'd try. I've had this problem for a while, but I've been ignoring it. Now, I'd like to try and resolve the issure if I can. I am using CFMX as a standalone server. On the same machine I have CF5 installed. I want to access my CFMX datasources with DWMX I can successfully define a CF5 DWMX site so that in the Application Panel Server Behaviors Window all of the steps, 1-5 have been checked off as completed and I'm able to access all of my CF5 datasources. However, when I try to use a CFMX site, in the Application Panel Server Behaviors window, only steps1-3 work. Step 4, which is Specify the RDS login for your ColdFusion server does not ever validate. When I click on its link, I get an error: The server name or address could not be resolved. Possible reasons: 1. The URL specified for this site's testing server may be incorrect: http://localhost:8100/calories. 2. The testing server may be incorrectly configured (for example, ColdFusion may not be running. Now, the URL is not incorrect. In fact, when I Preview in Browser, the url displays perfectly well. Substituting my specific IP address for localhost does nothing. I do not believe my server is incorrectly configured either. If it were, then the url would never pull up the page in question, and it DOES work. In the site configuration Testing Server windowI have as my server model, ColdFusion. This Site contains Dreamweaver MX Pages Only. Access, RDS In the site configuration Remote Info, my access is RDS and my settings are Host Name, localhost, Port 8100, Full Host Directory D:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\calories my username is blank and my password is entered. These SAME entries, work when I use a CF5 site, except that obiously the Port is 80 and the Host Directory would be D:\inetpub\wwwroot\calories. Can anyone give me an idea why I'm having this problem? __ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
