Re: A very specific message board/forum question...
People use phpBB because of it's power... you don't HAVE to use private messaging, but nearly every phpBB board out there does. It lets board members communicate with each other without having to share email addresses. Rick: The forum bits of JournURL do all of that, and I've waffled back-and-forth about releasing it as a stand-alone app over the years. But that would leave me doing a number of things: (1) Radically cleaning up the admin UI. (2) Figuring out an installation procedure for mere mortals. (3) Deciding whether or not to strip out all of the non-forum stuff. (4) Removing dependencies on various bits of code that I don't have the right to redistribute, or can't redistribute without running into GPL issues. (jTidy, for example.) Finding the time and will for all of that can be kinda difficult. :D -- Roger Benningfield BBML lets people do things to make their posts look different... you'd be amazed at how many people I know on some message boards that change the color of the font on all their posts. If they wanna be LOUD they change the font size to 25. BBML is also intended to be implemented so people can't break the rest of the page.. ie, if you put a [b] tag without an end [/b] tag, none of the code will be bolded. It forces validity on the BBML. You can't even do this: [b][i]hi there[/b][/i] It lets people put image files in their signatures, which almost *EVERYONE* participating in the Carolina Hurricanes message boards does. Heck, people there ask people with cool signatures where they got their image and they'll go have someone make THEM a cool signature too. Avatars gives users another opportunity for people to express themselves, to make themselves unique. In one case, a bet was made between an Ottawa Senators fan and a Carolina Hurricanes fan. The bet was, if the Canes win, the ottawa senators fan has to change his avatar to something like the Canes logo and the words CANES ROCK, and something similar the other way around. These things build community and allow for individual expression, and *THAT* is what makes those features popular. I don't think anyone necessarily wants a phpBB clone, but we want all the features that phpBB has.

Re: A very specific message board/forum question...
HTML editors cause a couple of problems: #1 - you can break the HTML. #2 - you can PASTE IN any html you want into tinyMCE.. you'd have to parse out the tags you don't want.. and it could still be broken html. #3 - wysiwyg html editors are slow loading, evne at their most basic. #4 - wysiwyg html editors very browser dependent. I agree with #3 and #4, but the first two are implementation problems. Tidy can ensure that HTML is well-formed, and well-formed HTML can (and should) be swept for naughty bits relatively easily. -- Roger Benningfield ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:233171 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Re: XML/RSS Search Feed
(1) Does the client write the forms to be used for searching or do we supply that to them... When publishing an XML document, your job is to provide the results in a known document format (RSS or something else entirely) and let them know how your URIs work. It can get a bit more complicated than that in some cases, but not for simple search engine queries. ...or could they just use inline frames that point to templates on our site? I think you need to clarify exactly what you're trying to do. (1) Are you trying to provide search results that can be consumed by other machines/servers, stored and/or manipulated, and then displayed to that machine's user(s)? If so, then XML is what you're after. (2) Are you trying to provide search results directly to end-users, without any storage or customization on the part of foreign sites? If so, then just output plain ol' HTML.

Re: WDDX Replacement Attempt (was RE: Ajax and CFCs)
But although the system does seem to be well supported it also seems to be poorly documented. ;^) Jim: That's a matter of perspective. Some people love Dave Winer's approach to spec-writing, and some people absolutely *loathe* it. I'm gonna guess you're in the latter group. :D - Convert a null into an empty value: value/value. - Convert a null into an empty string: string/string. - Throw an error. I can't say conclusively, but I would opt for the first or third choice. If you can afford the ambiguity, the first is the best... most implementations (including mine) will interpret an empty value / as a zero-length string, but at least it leaves open the possibility for other implementations. Any idea about what's right? Technically, XML-RPC dates have no timezone. Apps are expected to set timezones in another method, or within another param in the current method. In practice, my (de)serializer respects the above... but the instant it returns the value to my main code, I promptly assume that it is UTC and go from there. :-) +) String formatting seems... odd. The spec claims that only ampersands and less-than signs should be escaped - is this right? Not even greater-than signs? Nothing for control characters? Basically, it's saying do what you would normally do to escape any off-limits XML characters. Technically, greater-than signs don't need to be escaped as long as you escape any less-thans, but most of us do it anyway, just to be safe. Probably the easiest thing to do is just wrap strings in ![CDATA[]], although there may be an oddball deserializer out there that will barf. If you have some time I'd much appreciate you going over my XMLRPC implementation to see if it measures up. I went ahead and set up a little debugger for you. Just go here: http://agincourtmedia.com/xmlrpc/testxmlrpc.cfm and enter any of your serialized chunks into the form. It will wrap whatever you input in a method/param, deserialize it, and CFDUMP the results. I don't claim that my (de)serializer is any kind of benchmark, but it'll at least let you know if you're heading down the right path. -- Roger Benningfield JournURL http://admin.support.journurl.com/ http://admin.mxblogspace.journurl.com/ ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: WDDX Replacement Attempt (was RE: Ajax and CFCs)
Jim: Any reason not to go with the prior art and just use (or extend, if necessary) XML-RPC? XML-RPC parsers are everywhere, so it's pretty much the no-brainer default option for passing around programmatic data. In fact, that was one of the big points made when Jeremy Allaire and I were discussing his idea of embedding raw data in RSS feeds a couple years ago... not only is it more lightweight than WDDX or SOAP, there's virtually no language or environment that doesn't already support it.

RSS/Atom Feed CFC 2.0x
After two (very, very long) years of argument and debate, the Atom 1.0 IETF specification is an official Proposed Standard. Broad deployment will now begin in earnest, so if you work with syndication feeds, it's time for some upgrades. Rssatom.cfc is a feed normalizer... it takes in RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom 0.3, Atom 1.0, and Atomic RSS feeds and spits out a generic data structure. Great pains have been taken to make it spec-compliant where appropriate, and common practice compliant where the specs are silent. The original 2.0 release and basic documentation is here: http://admin.mxblogspace.journurl.com/?mode=articleentry=8425 and the latest release (2.04) is here: http://admin.mxblogspace.journurl.com/?mode=articleentry=8874 Oh, and a quick public service announement. *Please* be careful when displaying third-party syndicated content on your site... the opportunities for cross-site attack are many, and are too often overlooked by folks who think that this stuff is as simple as an HTTP request and a pass through an XML parser. -- Roger Benningfield JournURL http://admin.support.journurl.com/ http://admin.mxblogspace.journurl.com/ ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: OT: RSS and Languages
But the docs site doesn't say anything about the language element being an optional sub-element of the item... Isaac: It isn't. In RSS 2.0, rss:language is a channel-level element and that's it. and the one reply to this post says that the language element has been an optional sub-element of the item since RSS 1.0... Don't be fooled by the versioning. RSS 1.0 and 2.0 have nothing to do with one another... they're completely different forks of the 0.91 format, created and maintained by different entities. Does anybody else have any more insight on this? If you're intent upon having item-level language declarations, you've got a few choices: (1) Use dc:language... see the Dubline Core definition for details. (2) Apply standard xml:lang attributes as appropriate to RSS 2.0 elements. Note that the spec doesn't make any explicit reference to or use of xml:lang. (3) Use Atom 1.0, where the spec *does* explicitly support xml:lang. Of the few consuming apps that are language-aware, you're most likely to see support for (1) and (3). I'd probably go with (1), since people are still debugging their Atom 1.0 parsers right now. -- Roger Benningfield JournURL http://journurl.com/ http://admin.support.journurl.com/ ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: Tree Traversal / Storage Algorithm
Jeff: I never had any old CS days to forget, but the best approach to tree-building that I've found is a single id/parentid query wed to a set of parallel structures that are connected by reference. cfquery FETCH YOUR IDs and PARENTIDs /cfquery !--- CREATE PARALLEL STRUCTURES --- cfset stcTree = StructNew() cfset stcFlat = StructNew() cfloop query=qryNodes cfset node = StructNew() cfset node.id = id cfset node.parentid = parentid cfset stcFlat[n#id#] = node cfif NOT StructKeyExists(stcFlat, n#parentid#) cfset stcTree[n#id#] = stcflat[n#id#] cfelse cfset stcflat[n#parentid#][n#id#] = stcflat[n#id#] /cfif /cfloop You can recursively walk stcTree to display it graphically, or use node.parentid and node.id to quickly crawl up the stcFlat to create a breadcrumb trail.

css - height 100% - i'd like to kill the crack-addicts who wrote the w3c box model
I remembered somebody'd already solved this particular problem before: http://www.redmelon.net/tstme/3cols2/ http://www.redmelon.net/tstme/3cols2/ Keith: That example conveniently sums up why I'm abandoning CSS positioning after a couple years of work in that area. CSS-P is so incredibly fragile that any unpredictable event can mangle it and render the page unusable. For example, I dropped a large photo into that layout, and instead of stretching the center column to accommodate it, Firefox let the image overlap the right column. IE fared even worse, effectively blowing up in my face... the content in the left and right columns jumped into the center column and joined the flow. But it gets worse. Just as a goof, I removed the image, leaving an empty p/p element to the center column. Firefox didn't even blink, but IE suddenly allowed the left column's content to leap into the center column and actually overlap it. A single empty paragraph was all it took to break the layout. If you're designing for controlled content, CSS-P can be effective. But if you're designing for content generated by mere mortals, it's a disaster waiting to happen in every browser I've ever seen. -- Roger Benningfield work: http://journurl.com/ blog: http://admin.support.journurl.com/ http://admin.support.journurl.com/ ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - RUWebby http://www.ruwebby.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:188520 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

ASP.NET is taking market away from CF! I doubt you can substantiate that. CF's market share appears to have shrunk from the old 2.0 and 3.0 days, but there's been a lot more going on than ASP.NET. In fact, ASP.NET is a minor blip on CF's radar when compared to the giant swarm of open-source development platforms like PHP. I'm just trying to wake people up... Why? Perhaps people know something about their businesses or clients that you don't. CF is still outrageous to purchase. (1) Anyone who is price-conscious won't be using ASP.NET. They'll be using PHP or Ruby on a Linux box. (2) Anyone who is forced to pay an outrageous price for CF (those in need of Enterprise features) is already paying much, much more for the development and hosting of a large, complicated, and clustered application. -- Roger Benningfield JournURL: http://journurl.com/ blog: http://admin.support.journurl.com/ ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - New Atlanta http://www.newatlanta.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187279 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Joshua, From what I can tell, it's just the handiest way to draw a bright line between larger corporate customers and small developers/businesses. They want to keep prices as low as possible for the latter in order to build the market, and then make most of their money by hitting up the former for extra cash.

RE: XML Best Practices - Resources
What's the best way to store phone numbers in XML? phone1234567890/phone or maybe... phone title=Main number=1234567890 ext=10 type=Mobile/ Brad, I can't tell you what's best, but I can tell you how I would approach it. Proceed only after you have procured several thousand grains of salt. Personally, I'd start by clarifying what I'm describing. A phone has attributes like white, hasCord, and so on. What you're actually dealing with isn't a phone but a phone number, which has attributes like mobile and extension 312. The number itself is the thing that interests us. So here's where I'd end up: phone type=mobile ext=101234567890/phone However, looking at that, I see I'm asserting that 1234567890 is an instance of a phone. And we've already established that it isn't. To clarify *that*, I would end up with: phone number type=mobile ext=101234567890/number /phone ...or... phonenumber type=mobile ext=101234567890/phonenumber Choosing between them would be a matter of considering how detailed I want to be in compiling this info. The latter will work fine, nine times out of ten. But there are edge cases... for example, what if I can be reached at a single, physical phone via two distinct numbers with distinctive rings? It might be useful to know that those numbers are related: phone number type=business1234567890/number number type=home0987654321/number /phone phone number type=mobile5498763210/number /phone At that point, I'd probably call it good enough.

JournURL keeps the actual text of a user's entries in a WDDX packet, with the database serving as a SQL-friendly index. - Storing non-essential metadata... since I've already got that WDDX packet sitting there, I can stick any old data in it. No need to add tables or columns to the database, unless the new data is important stuff that needs to be indexed. - When I want to tell an author that I've linked to her, I automatically send an XML ping to her server.

To broaden my example, that query file I mentioned *does* run a query... but then it checks to see if any records were returned. If not, it constructs a special, substitute query. Then it loads a series of associated WDDX files from the file server, does a little string manipulation, and merges them into the query in question. SPs aren't a useful option in my particular app, but I'm all for your argument that people should use them as much as possible. But even if the example were using an SP instead of a CF-generated query, the rest of that work would still need doing.

Dave, In my apps, the form variable would win the spot in the attributes scope. Not a problem. My complaint with this technique is the same, essentially, as my complaint with using the Request scope to share data between custom tags and their calling pages. It breaks the model of defined inputs and outputs. I think those two issues are apples and oranges. In the case of the request scope and custom tags, I agree with you. A custom tag shouldn't be reaching out to grab its data from global variables... that data should be explicitly sent into the tag. But in the case of the formurl2attributes thing, nothing is breaking... attributes is as valid an input scope as form or url. There's no reaching out involved. -- Roger __ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona 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

Dave, Agreed. I should state for the record that I'm not of the FB3, drag-and-drop, reuse-the-same-fuses-across-a-dozen-applications school. When I talk about code modularization and reuse in Fusebox, I'm talking specifically about having an app serve as a sort of inter-application web service via the custom tag interface. I don't find this level of linkage especially useful - either something is dependent on the larger application, or it's not, from a linkage perspective. Let me give you a concrete example with which I'm intimately familiar: Let's say you have a forum app. One of its tasks is to display a list of recent discussions... let's give that task a name like showtopics. Showtopics' work is broken down into a query, the creation of a thread structure, and then the layout of the page. Now, if I want to display a list of recent forum discussions on my site's front page, I *could* recreate the query call, the threading code, and wedge it into the code that creates that front page. Or I could simply call my fusebox as a custom tag and say, Hey, use your pre-existing code to feed me the query results and that structure... but leave off your presentation stuff, 'cause I'll do that myself. Call me crazy, but when I have a chance to separate data from presentation, I take it. :) I should note that I'm not a fan of Fusebox. I know, and I'm not a fan of *all* of it... the official version, anyway.

Re: Fusebox - opinions?
1. Pros? Cons? Opinions? I've generally only seen good feedback, but I thought I'd see... I can't recommend Fusebox at this point... the official version is a study in overkill that tries to define the right way for your apps to be built. Some folks love that aspect of it, of course, but I have no patience for the whole thing. OTOH, I highly recommend using a fusebox. The fundamental idea is very useful. To me, the key is to just look at the core concept: cfswitch expression=#fuseaction# cfcase value=showform cfinclude template=myquery.cfm cfinclude template=myform.cfm /cfcase cfcase value=processform cfinclude template=security.cfm cfinclude template=update.cfm cflocation url=index.cfm?fuseaction=showform /cfcase /cfswitch Routing all requests through a central hub creates a handy, self-documenting map of an application's flow, allows modularization without tons of nested includes, and provides a mechanism for turning basic security (or whatever) features on and off on a per-request basis without a lot of conditional or hidden code. Everything else is just extra, and may be completely unnecessary in any given situation. You don't need to move incoming variables into a unified scope, you don't need to nest fuseboxes, you don't need to wrap the whole thing in cf_bodycontent/cfsavecontent and delay rendering, or anything else... there's a ton of benefit to be had from the simple beauty of a CFSWITCH. Not that I'm discouraging use of the extras... there are all kinds of interesting things you can do, above and beyond the basics. But you don't have to use Fusebox and its trappings to make use of a fusebox. -- Roger ~~ 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

Along with the other suggestions you've received, I'd recommend looking for any use of the Duplicate() function in your code. At one point, I had an app that used Duplicate() to move Session scoped queries-within-nested-structures into the Request scope, and it would consistently bomb with the error you received.

Category-based trails are more complicated, with various trade-offs involved. You can use recursion to walk the hierarchy, with the obvious performance hit.
