Encrypt/Decrypt
If I have Encrypt(x,y) which equals z OR Decrypt(x,y) which equals z, can z be determined (encrypted or decrypted) without having both x and y? Example: cfset variables.secretKey = dj0yJmk9TTJOUXFnakphWjVlJmQ9WVdrOVVtMU9jak5rTjJNbWNHbzlPREV4TVRrNE5EWXkmcz1jb25zdW1lcnNlY3JldCZ4PWQx cfset variables.value = Encrypt(MYPASSWORD, variables.secretKey) if you output variables.value, you get: *'Y^MZ!]F;*=V@ So... if someone gets my MYPASSWORD and *'Y^MZ!]F;*=V@, can they figure out the value of variables.secretKey?

Scripting website or host header will IIS and CF
It seems simple enough. My user inputs a web address he wants configured on my server and I programatically create it in IIS through my CF application. And then I may want to create subdomains though host headers on the same IP. Using CF9. Surely this has been done hundreds of times... anyone got some sample code that can get me started in the right direction?

ExactTarget SOAP API
Does anyone have any experience with CF and ExactTarget's SOAP API. We have been using the XML flavor, but want to switch to the more robust SOAP API.

RE: Login/Password screen
Here's the basic concept... You have a login page. The user puts their username and password in and it submits to an action page that checks to see if they are a user. You then set a variable (I usually use session variables). Then you check for that session variable on the pages that are protected. Typically, I have everything that they need to log into put in a separate folder. Then I have code in the application.cfm to say that if the path is to the protected folder, check for the variable otherwise redirect to the login page. Any shortcut to the secured data will redirect them to the login page if they are not logged in. As far as locking out... set a variable on each failed login and increment it by one until they hit 3. Once they hit three, check that variable in the login page and redirect them or give them a message that they have been locked out. You can use a cookie to expire in 30 minutes or however you want to do it. This is just the basic idea to get you thinking in the right direction.

umm... no ...
Try this
input type=text name=name value=#htmleditformat(myvar)#
Then type 'Jim the Man davis' into that form field, drop it into a
persistent variable or a database, retrieve it from that location and
populate the form with it (as above), submit the form and save it to the
same place. It _does_ change the content. You wind up with 'Jim quot;the
Manquot; Davis' as your content.
I've seen people sometimes use ReplaceNoCase() to convert quot; and other
html entities into double-quotes on the action page, but then no-one can
enter an html entity in the form field, because those get converted.
It's a lose-lose situation.
Same story with textareas.
textarea name=myhtmlcfoutput#mytextarea#/cfoutput/textarea
Do the same thing you did with the text field here, only instead of
double-quotes, this time enter 'textarea name=somethingelse/textarea'
into the field. After you've edited it once, you no longer have html content
you now have lt;textarea
name=quot;somethingelsequot;gt;lt;/textareagt; ...
I don't make this stuff up.

Subject: RE: Writing a file with CFFILE
Used properly, HTMLEditFormat() does not change the content.
If you type Hello Goodbye, into a form field, once submitted, it
becomes:
Hello Goodbye
So, this is what you insert into the database.
Now, when you *display* the contents of that form field, *if* you *don't*
want the browser to parse it, then use HTMLEditFormat().
For instance, let's say we let the user edit that text again in a form
field. Using HTMLEditFormat() within the value attribute of a form field,
you will get:
quot;Hello amp; Goodbyequot;
*But* when the form is submitted, you get:
Hello Goodbye
Using HTMLEditFormat() *is* the perfect, easy solution!

You mean enabled -- or doesn't disable js... This is true -- but it's the
only way I know of to preserve the original format of the text, including
html, and allow it to be updated after the fact. HTMLEditFormat() or any
other kind of string manipulation going into the form field will
change the
content in some way after the first edit. So there really is no perfect
solution -- either you lose the original format, or you rely on
javascript
which could potentially be disabled.
Unless the client has JS disabled. Then this method won't
work at all.

Not necessarily. Assuming you want to be able to enter
text areas and the
like (or any html actually) in your textarea, using
htmledit format will
allow you to enter it once -- but never update it after
the fact because
when you save it the 2nd time, it's no longer html code.
The email I just
sent off a moment ago explains a method (afaik the only
method) of
preserving the content in its original format, so it's
still
viable as html
even after it's been saved several times.
Nevermind... I'm an idiot over thinking the basics...
HTMLEditFormat()..!

Re: asp vs. cf
My boss just asked me for a list of pros and cons. I want to show him that CF is superior to ASP, but I don't know ASP. If you guys could help with my list I'd appreciate it. I will add to this by saying that I am a CF programmer at heart, but I am presently working on an ASP application. Cold Fusion is faster, easier, and probably more scalable to use, yes, no doubt about it. But it does effect you as a developer by hiding the real guts of what's happening. You can be the world's greatest CF programmer, but if that's all you know, then you are severely limited in the services you can provide. I would even go as far to say that you're not *really* even a programmer. You are just a glorified software operator. (I am using 'you' collectively and not singling you out. It applies to all of us.) Programming, in any language involves two key concepts: logic and syntax. Cold Fusion will teach you logic. But it does not teach you syntax. From that perspective, Cold Fusion tricks you into thinking you are a master programmer. I jump at the chance to program in ASP or JSP simply because it improves my own personal skills and, in turn, my marketability. I think of it as paid training. Yes, I bitch (to myself) the whole way through about how much easier it is with CF. But in the end, I am versatile. If the platform decision falls on my shoulders, then I recommend CF for all the reasons everyone else will tell you. But if someone else makes the decision, I am prepared. I guess in the end, it depends on what your own personal and professional goals are. But I personally, don't want to be bound by any one development platform. FWIW, Steve ~~ Your ad could be here.

variety of seed values, including various lengths. It seems that the last
one or two chars always come out differently? My questions are, what is a
good length for the seed value and should this be alphnumeric or will any
ascii character work? Also, I'm not sure why I can encrypt the same value
twice and not get the same value. I'm thinking my problem must be in the
seed string length, but I'm not sure? Are there known issues with this? Why
am I having this problem? Can someone shed some light?
Thanks,
Steve

Why am I having this problem? Can someone shed some light? After a little more trial and error, it appears that the first 12 characters are consistant. Anything after that can change, even if encrypting the same string with the same seed value. I guess I can do something like.. if password = Left(dbpassword, 12) I would still appreciate a logical explanation of this if someone knows more about this Thanks, Steve ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Encrypt/Decrypt Functions [NOT cfencrypt/cfdecrypt]
Maybe it's just a wierd browser thing. What do you see if you View SOurce? No.. I checked that. It's very strange because there is no consistency to it. Some strings encrypt the same everytime, others don't. If I run this in my browser cfset encryptedPW = #Encrypt(password, k39dkjw*kd@kfoe%kfps037)# cfoutput#encryptedPW #-#Len(encryptedPW)#/cfoutput and then hit refresh... it toggles between these two values... (78XD6IF#J5( and (78XD6IF#J5' but it returns the Len of both strings as 14. Something with ASCII, either spaces or line feeds might be one of the chars that could be messing me up. In the database field (SQL7), visually you can see some box characters that represents an ASCII character that can't be displayed. Help!! Thanks, Steve ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Application Variables
Seems basic, but I've never really addressed this. Assuming this code is in my application.cfm file, what is the difference in these two cfset bgcolor=black and... cfset application.bgcolor=black I guess I need a quick lesson on application variables. I know they are included in the scope defined in the cfapplication tag, but what are pros and cons? I have a small dev box with only 256 RAM. I have CF 4.5 and SQL7 running on it so as you can imagine, it's quite slow. I'm wondering how much RAM is used storing application variables? Could I increase performance (albeit more theoretically) by not using application vars? If I am looking for server performance over speed, the first one seems the way to go since it's not a persistent variable. I'm only faking it by putting it in the app.cfm file. Along this line, do I even need application variables? What's the story? Thanks, Steve ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Where to place developer exchange tags?
Place it in the Custom Tag directory. It's C:\CFUSION\CUSTOM TAGS by default. If it's a cfx (.dll) then you need to register it with CF Server. You can also place the .cfm tag in the directory of the templates you are using it in. But if you have multiple sites on a server that use the tag, it's more practical to put it in the Custom Tag directory.

Re: SOLVED: This should be simple--why is it not working?
Somehow CF sees the year as being 1905 when
I wrap dateformat around it [#dateformat(2001, 'YY')#]!
CF was correct! 2001 is the numeric value of the date 06/23/1905. Here's a
quick lesson on numeric date (and time) values
DateFormat(6/14/2001, YY) would output 01
DateFormat(2001, YY) would view 2001 as the numeric value of a date
which would be 2001 days past Dec 30, 1899 or 06/23/1905, hence your
returned year value of 1905.
If you do a number format on a date such as NumberFormat(6/14/2001) you
would get 37,056 returned as the value (37,056 days past Dec. 30, 1899). The
same is true for the time which is returned in a decimal format.
So if you did NumberFormat(Now(), _.__) you would get
37056.5117245370. This value equals {ts '2001-06-14 12:16:53'} as a date.
Then to convert these back starting with 37056.5117245370...
#DateFormat(37056, mm/dd/yy)# to get 06/14/01 and
#TimeFormat(.5117245370, h:mm tt)# to get 12:16 PM
You can also do it with the complete value...
#DateFormat(37056.5117245370, mm/dd/yy)# to get 06/14/01 and
#TimeFormat(37056.5117245370, h:mm tt)# to get 12:16 PM
or for code to run in your browser
!-SNIP--
cfscript
MyValue = #NumberFormat(Now(), _.__)#;
MyDate = #DateFormat(ListFirst(MyValue, .), mm/dd/yy)#;
/* Be sure to add the decimal back in the first parameter of the
TimeFormat() function */
MyTime = #TimeFormat(. ListLast(MyValue, .), h:mm tt)#;
/cfscript
cfoutput
Serial Value: #MyValue#br
Date: #MyDate# (would output 06/14/01 and...)br
Time: #MyTime# (would output 12:16 PM or the time you run this code)
/cfoutput
!-SNIP--
Try it! It really does work quite well. This is an old approach that I think
was originally developed in spreadsheet applications. I have used this
method with a calendar applications and it's an interesting approach to
dealing with dates. It can get confusing, but it is extremely accurate and
effective in calculating date differences once you get the hang of it.
Better than DateAdd? This is yet to be debated, but at least you have a
little more understanding of what was originally happening with your code.
HTH,
Steve

Hi Everyone,

can use the 'this.form.submit()' to accomplish this but I cannot use it
because I need the page to go somewhere different when they press 'submit'.
What would be cool is if I could dynamically change the form tag to go one

it through Javascript. Any help will do.

I have a form that contains as many as 200 select boxes with about 6 options each and 200 more input boxes. I guess that there is some type of resource crunch (memory, widget handles, who knows) that causes the following error: when scrolling a large form, the select boxes begin to smear vertically. They become clumped together and function oddly (some still seem to work, although I can't tell what 'line' they belong to). It's in the project specs that I cannot break the form up... which throws out the 'display records 1-20 21-40' type solutions. The only thing I can think to do is tighten the cfm code up. Our shop is indent happy for readability. The indenting produces a LOT of whitespace (perhaps bloating the code as much as 100%). I've already added cfsetting tags to squash output on custom tags, queries, etc. But there is still a lot of whitespace in the other 'normal' code. Are there any utilities to obliterate whitespace in cfm files? Er, something along the lines of turning an indented file into a really long single string? Is there a code beautifier to do the opposite? Is this approach worthwhile? Thanks, Brian ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Writing Custom Functions
Awesome! Thanks Michael...! Will those user defined functions be included in

In CF 5 the answer is yes.

function StringLimit(string, length)

if (len(string) GT 8)
return Left(lname, 8);
else
return string;

I already know the answer to this, but I thought I would see what it

Is it possible to write a custom function? Here is an example of what I
would like to be able to do. The following code limits the display of
lname
to 8 characters
cfif len(lname) GT 8#Left(lname, 8)#...cfelse#lname#/cfif
What I was wondering is if I could somehow create a function, and then
call
it like so (this is what I really want to know)...
#StringLimit(lname, 8)#
Maybe I've been playing around too much with Javascript, but this seems
logical. I know I can write a custom tag...
!StringLimit.cfm
cfparam name=attributes.value default=
cfparam name=attributes.limit default=0
cfparam name=attributes.tail default=...
cfif len(attributes.value) GT attributes.limit#Left(attributes.value,

Re: Writing Custom Functions
The normal operation is to have your UDF either on the same page as you
need
them or in a CFINCLUDE. If your especially evil then you can load them
into
server or application variables in an initialization page and then use
them
as server.stringlimit('this is my string', 5). Using them in server or
application vars might run into locking problems and I'm investigating
this.
What about putting them in a custom tag and then just calling the UDF's you
need? You could have all of your UDF's in a single file and call them as you
need them
cf_UDF
GetFunctions=StringLimit, IntegerCount, MyGrandmasFavoriteCookieRecipe,
OneMoreFunction
That way, you could keep them all in one place and use them in any file on
the server. Having to include the code each time you need it sounds like it
might suck a little... kinda defeating the purpose?
Anyway, looking forward to that functionality thanks for the info!

If the email is accepted it's likely valid.

Re: CF Server parsing .js files...
That's the way we do it... works like a champ. When your stylesheets get big, you really should link to them, rather than include them, so that browsers can cache them and speed up all your pages.

Parsing Headache (Removing Multiple Images)
OK.. I am writing a tag with CFHTTP to blah, blah, blah... it works fine.
Now I want to port my application to the Palm Pilot so I want to remove the
images from the output. Here's my line of thinking at the moment...
cfscript
output = #Trim(CFHTTP.FileContent)#;
imageStart =#Find("img", output, 1)#;
imageEnd = #Find("", output, imageStart)#;
imageLen = imageEnd - imageStart + 1;
output = #Replace(output, Mid(output, imageStart, imageLen), "", "ONE")#;
/cfscript
This works great in removing the first image.
My Question:
How can I loop this some how to remove all images without knowing how many
are on the page? Fortunatly there are only 1-3 per page. I've been racking
my brain for hours over this one.. any takers?
Thanks,
Steve

OK.. I am writing a tag with CFHTTP to blah, blah, blah... it works fine.
Now I want to port my application to the Palm Pilot so I want to remove
the
images from the output. Here's my line of thinking at the moment...
cfscript
output = #Trim(CFHTTP.FileContent)#;
imageStart =#Find("img", output, 1)#;
imageEnd = #Find("", output, imageStart)#;
imageLen = imageEnd - imageStart + 1;
output = #Replace(output, Mid(output, imageStart, imageLen), "", "ONE")#;
/cfscript
This works great in removing the first image.
My Question:
How can I loop this some how to remove all images without knowing how many
are on the page? Fortunatly there are only 1-3 per page. I've been racking
my brain for hours over this one.. any takers?
Thanks,
Steve
