RE: Can this be done?
Take that proactive approach a step further and grab a known good image URL, and a known bad image URL. Dump the headers and compare. Worst case scenario, nothing seems out of the ordinary. Then you could do something else like build a valid list of mime types (valid to you and your app) and at least compare the results to that list. -Original Message- From: Matthew Friedman [mailto:m...@hozgroup.com] Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2010 4:43 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Can this be done?

You actually have two problems here. Let's talk about the first problem, as it sounds like you are uploading the file directly to the images directory. This is a major security risk and you should avoid this. Second this gives you the opportunity to store the files into a temp directory that is not accessible by the web, in which you can the run what you need to make sure that they are indeed images and are of the required types before deleting them.

Re: Can this be done?
We were aware of the security issues so we do upload to a temporary location, we then check the sizing of the images and create thumbnails and reduce the size to the correct size. The weird thing is the images that do not work - are images. If we pull the file down, open it in PhotoShop and re save the image and upload it back to the correct folder all works fine. So using the isImage() function I am not sure if that will solve this. Question I have is if you save an image as a CMYK format and then use CF to manipulate that image, will it create an issue where the browser can not render it correctly and place a missing image. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Resaving in photoshop doesn't always fix the issue either... Sometimes we have to make a NEW image - then cut and paste the pic into it to save to the correct format... However - I am not aware of any method for testing the JPGs formats through CF... (Or even what is really wrong with these JPGS - I just assume something is wrong with the way they were originally created - perhaps using RAW?) RGB vs CMYK isn't necessarily the problem...

Re: Can this be done?
2 types of JPG that can cause problems: CMYK and progressive JPEG. As others have noted on this thread, this is not just a problem with the image engine used by CF, but is a problem with any browser as well. CMYK images will *not* (in my experience) convert properly within CF image functions. As Chuck noted, you can look into the colorspace to determine some of these potential pitfalls, but I find that isImage() is my single greatest friend when it comes to these JPG issues. MIMETypes are no help, of course, since these are really binaries within the correct MIME space ... there just happens to be some critical variation within that space. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Can this be done
Hi there
Is there anything simpler than that.
Hi there
Iâm in the process of finalising the developing an application to handle
personal training sessions at a gym â basically there are 6 or more personal
trainers who each have more than 60 clients that they work with for ½ hour up
to 2 hour sessions. A person at the front desk manages their bookings.
Basically Iâm developing a system for the gym to enable the person at the
front desk to enter details of bookings etc. These details will once entered
into the system will be in one of 3 states.
1. Waiting bookings
2. Bookings in process
3. Completed bookings
On the front screen of the application Iâm planning on displaying â current
bookings in process and underneath that waiting bookings.
E.G.
Sessions in Progress
Trainer RoomStart FinishRemaining TimeOverTime Manage
Sandra1 05:09 PM 06:09 PM Time has Passed 5 Minutes(s) Edit
E.G.
Waiting Bookings
Trainer RoomStart FinishRemaining TimeOverTime Manage
Rob1 06:00 PM 07:00 PM Waiting N/A Edit
I was initially thinking once the Edit link was clicked open up a pop-up window
to let the user edit the record. Is there a better way so basically the user
can just click a button and then by clicking on that button the status would be
changed.
Another couple of points â I have set the page to refresh every 60 seconds so
that way it will be easy for reception to quickly determine how long is
remaining in any given session.
The question I have relates to the following:
Take the bottom part of the screen (bookings made but the session has not yet
started). These will be displayed. I would like to somehow give the user a
simple way to start a booking. I was thinking of letting the user click on the
little Edit link under manage and open a pop-up window to edit the record and
change the status from waiting to session started.
And similarly I would like to make it easy for a person to be able to click a
button to indicate that a current booking has been completed â i.e. click on
a button then it would change the status from current to complete.
Just wondering what would be the simplest yet effective implementation. I was
thinking of using AJAX but at this stage I havenât used AJAX previously so
not too sure about it.
The idea of opening up a pop-up window and letting a user edit the record would
work but it seems a little cumbersome and not really that user friendly.
Any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
JQuery is your friend:) Something like this should work:
script
$(document).ready(function(){
// Here's a reference to our form
var frm = $('form##testForm');
// Assign an onChange event handler
$('input[type=checkbox]',frm).change(function(){
// Create a JSON object to use in our Ajax call
var postObj = new Object();
postObj = {action : this.checked ?
'add':'delete',id :
$(this).val()};
// Ajax call to our CFC, taking 'action' and 'id' as
args
// 'success' is indicative of a successful Ajax call,
// and will show whatever message is returned from your
method
$.ajax({
url: processor.cfc,
type: POST,
data: postObj,
success: function(msg){
$('div##msgDisplay').html(msg);
},
error: function(){
$('div##msgDisplay').html('There was an
error processing your
request.');
}
});
});
});
/script

Re: Can this be done
Does a user have to have interaction on the homepage? If the classes are defined by time, you could do something simple like have the homepage check the date and time and show the classes that fall within the current date and time range. That would be simple. I am developing an application for a gym. On the home page of the application I am currently displaying details of personal training sessions which are in progress, and also thos sessions which are waiting to be started. Sessions in progress P/TrainerRoom # Start Time Finish Time Remaing Time Rob 17:00 8:00 25 mins Mick 27308:30 55 mins Sessions waiting to start P/TrainerRoom # Start Time Finish Time Remaing Time Rob 1 Mick 2 I have also set this page up to referesh every 60 seconds - this part works well and as intended. I could I guess add a button for each record which would allow a user to edit each record individually, but am wondering if there is another simpler way that this could be done - e.g. maybe a checkbox which the user checks and then when the screen refeshes any records with checkboxes marked have their status changed. Basically I want to enable a user to be able to effortlessly indicate that a session has been completed so that record does not continue to be displayed). Also I want the user to indicate that a session has moved from the waiting state to the active state. I was thinking of including a check box which can be clicked - to indicate that a record can move from the wating state to current. Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.

Pete,
I would look into jQuery for AJAX. It is rockin' simple:
$( input.status ).click(
function(){
var jCheckbox = $( this );
$.get(
change_status.cfm,
{ id: jCheckbox.attr( id ) },
function(){ ... Callback ... }
);
}
);

But I don't want to do that, because it is a lot of data to put in the DB. Is there any other way? You can, in theory, put the response into an application or server variable in the handler from the event gateway and have JS poll a CF page that looks for a response. Heres a sample implementation. User enters in question in form on webpage. Javascript submits question via XMLHTTP post to CF page. CF Page posts question to MSN user and prefixes a UUID (or the users CFID/CFToken/JSessionID/any unique ID) to the question. For example: WebsiteMSN_User: [987124] - Do you guys sell widgets? And returns that unique as the response of the XMLHTTP request. Javascript holds that number in memory and polls a different page (getResponse.cfm?msgID=987124) every 5-10 seconds (or uses a hanging get, whatever you prefer) passing that number as a parameter to the page. MSN user responds, prefixing the same code to his response MSNUser: [987124] - we do sell widgets, click on Cogs/Widgets on the top menu bar and you will see it You would add an application variable in your msn event gateway incoming message handler that would create a variable cfset application.msnDialogue.987124 = we do sell widgets, click on Cogs/Widgets on the top menu bar and you will see it Finally, the getResponse.cfm page would look for that variable and if it found it, return it and structDelete it so you dont have too many variables sitting in memory. Its not elegant, but it will work without a DB. ~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 Flex 2. Build powerful, scalable RIAs.

Re: Dynamicaly Building CFSTOREDPROC tag, can it be done?
This can be accomplished in SQL Server without dynamically writing the stored procedure. You have to pass in the maximum number of parameters every time to the stored procedure. To do this, you cfparam all of the proc params above the stored procedure call. Inside of the stored procedure, you detect for the default values of each paramater. If the default value is there, you set the sql variable to null. Now the rea magic is where you use the variable inside of the queries: if @foo = 0 begin select @foo = null end select * from bar b where IsNull(b.foo,'') = IsNull(NullIf(@foo,''),IsNull(b.foo,'')) If @foo is null, the where clause is never executed and all values are returned. If @foo has a value, the where clause is executed and you have a filtered data. So in short, you can any number of variables passed as long as you pass a default value that you detect for inside the procedure. It is also not dynamically written so that the execution plan will stay consistent.

Re: Dynamicaly Building CFSTOREDPROC tag, can it be done?
Caveat: A fellow developer Allen Underwood demonstrated the perfection of this clauseto me a year ago. Teddy On 12/12/06, Teddy Payne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This can be accomplished in SQL Server without dynamically writing the stored procedure. You have to pass in the maximum number of parameters every time to the stored procedure. To do this, you cfparam all of the proc params above the stored procedure call. Inside of the stored procedure, you detect for the default values of each paramater. If the default value is there, you set the sql variable to null. Now the rea magic is where you use the variable inside of the queries: if @foo = 0 begin select @foo = null end select * from bar b where IsNull(b.foo,'') = IsNull(NullIf(@foo,''),IsNull(b.foo,'')) If @foo is null, the where clause is never executed and all values are returned. If @foo has a value, the where clause is executed and you have a filtered data. So in short, you can any number of variables passed as long as you pass a default value that you detect for inside the procedure. It is also not dynamically written so that the execution plan will stay consistent.

The situation I have is that I have ben asked if it is possible to dynamically build a cfstoredproc tag on the fly when you only know the number and type of parameters and SQL stored procedure name at run time. Has anybody ever done anything like this before? No, I haven't, but you could build it by creating the CF code for the cfstoredproc as strings (with cfset or something), save it to a file, and then cfinclude that file to run it. This is the only way I know of to dynamically create/execute CF code. -- My Sites: http://www.techfeed.net/blog/ http://www.cfquickdocs.com/ http://cfformprotect.riaforge.org/ ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

Re: Dynamicaly Building CFSTOREDPROC tag, can it be done?
Andy, I think you can still execute procs in CFQUERY. If you want, try using CF to build up the SQL that calls the proc in variables, and then send it to the server by putting the #sqlprocstmt# inside a CFQUERY block. e.g.: CFQUERY ... #sqlprocstmt#/CFQUERY Executing procs via CFQUERY limits you to capturing only 1 result set (for more than 1 result set you need CFPROCRESULT). Please do post back and let us know what approach you end up using. Also, just curious, what database are you using? hth, g ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

Ok Java gurus can this be done
Ok, On the weekend I was looking at creating a variable back to CF, I am aware that you can create structures and normal string variables as well as queries... But is there a way you can create a variable that can contain an array? I can see potential for it but couldn't find a way to do this... Anyone done it or maybe know how to do it..

Hi, I have a frame split in half (topframe bottomframe). I the top frame I'm listing directories/files which have links to them. Beside each directory/file is an image that when clicked I want to send the link information to the bottom frame asthe path. Each time a link is clicked the bottom frame would get updated with a new entry. For example (+ is directory, - is files): Top frame listing - Directory Listing: + changes + delivery + late + schedule - data.txt - test.txt - mywork.txt So if a user click on a the directory changes link the file path and name are passed to the bottom frame. user then click on the directory late and then filename test.txt Bottom frame: - changes late test.txt How could this be done?

Actually, depending on how he's doing things _javascript_ might not be feasible. If the file/folder listing view is a ftp window in the frame, then he probably won't be able to use _javascript_. If it's a cf/html listing of files, then it's easy and doesn't even really need _javascript_.

Re: Can this be done??
Ah, maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to do. That still sounds pretty basic and still may not need _javascript_. One way that you might do it is in the top frame, each link goes to the same page in the bottom frame and just passes the link information as a url variable. So pass from the top frame something like: a href="" target=bottomFramechanges/a Then on the bottom frame, just grab the url.item variable passed to it, add it to a list or array or whatever you need of url variables that you've passed, probably storing them in the session scope.

RE: Can this be done??
If I'm hearing you right you want to pass a value from the top frame
like:
a href="" target=_bottom_frameSomething/a
Then in your bottom.cfm you can have a persistant variable or maybe a
cookie that you can add the selected value to:
cfparam name=client.big_list default=
cfif isdefined('url.value')
cfset client.big_list = listappend(client.big_list, url.value)
/cfif
Then you can loop over the list and display the items that you selected
in the top:
cfif listlen(client.big_list) GT 0
cfloop index=i list=#client.big_list#
#i#br
/cfloop
/cfif

You had a typo on the equals sign.

I've flipped through ColdFusion MX Web Application Construction Kit_
by
Ben Forta, page 170. and this is just too deep for me.
I've tried using cfset itemlist - listappend(itemlist,URL.DIR)
without
any success?
When a link is clicked a href="">
target=bottomframe
I'm passing the results to the bottom frame which works fine.
I put the cfset into the bottom.cfm file. When I click on another
link
the ITEMLIST does not get appended. Am I using the correct CF code?
What am I doing wrong?

Cool.
I got it to work using the URL variable.
How can I keep adding or concatenate each selection to the URL.item
variable I'm displaying in the bottomframe to a list or array?

Ah, maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to do. That still
sounds pretty basic and still may not need _javascript_.
One way that you might do it is in the top frame, each link goes to
the
same
page in the bottom frame and just passes the link information as a
url
variable. So pass from the top frame something like:
a href="">
target=bottomFramechanges/a
Then on the bottom frame, just grab the url.item variable passed to
it,
add
it to a list or array or whatever you need of url variables that
you've passed, probably storing them in the session scope. Then
output
whatever
is
in that list.

Actually, depending on how he's doing things _javascript_ might not
be
feasible. If the file/folder listing view is a ftp window in the
frame,
then
he probably won't be able to use _javascript_.
The directory/file listing is created using CFFTP.
If it's a cf/html listing of files, then it's easy and doesn't even
really
need _javascript_. Just use the target attribute in the a href for
each
link
and point it to the other frame.
OK...but how can I concatenate the listings?

If I'm hearing you right you want to pass a value from the top frame
like:
a href="" target=_bottom_frameSomething/a
Then in your bottom.cfm you can have a persistant variable or maybe a
cookie that you can add the selected value to:
cfparam name=client.big_list default=
cfif isdefined('url.value')
cfset client.big_list = listappend(client.big_list, url.value)
/cfif
Then you can loop over the list and display the items that you selected
in the top:
cfif listlen(client.big_list) GT 0
cfloop index=i list=#client.big_list#
#i#br
/cfloop
/cfif
Is that what you're after?

RE: How can it be done ?
What is the software you are downloading and installing?How are you installing it? The only way to do something like this that I can think of is to write an application that performs all these tasks for you. It might be easiest to use InstallShield (or similar) and create a custom install script.You can modify the registry on the client machine to hold the ID, and tell it to run IE to a specified URL one time at startup (runOnce).That url, stored in the registry, would contain the ID.InstallShield is very scriptable, and you can do things like check to see if the install went correctly and take corrective action if it did not, etc. It's certainly possible, without getting into all the political issues that this kind of forcing a user to install software brings up, but it's not entirely trivial.You can't do this with Coldfusion (or any other web/scripting language) alone.
