[cfaussie] better class cahcing controls for cf9
What do people think about having per folder or application overrides for CF's template caching settings.. ie flag model glue or coldbox to be always completely cached as templates z -- Zac Spitzer - http://zacster.blogspot.com +61 405 847 168 --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.

[cfaussie] Re: Validating dates ... what's the trick?
AH! Ok i see what the difference is. You're giving it a string, not
a date object. That's where I was falling over - i was trying ot
give it a date object, and of course you can't create an invalid date
object.
So createdate was throwing an error before it even got to the
validation function.
Thanks.
But the try/catch works too :)

Hi Mike,
I used to use the 3 dropdowns method.. (now using jquery datepicker) but
used "mmm" for the month value.
Then validate something like this
isDate("#day#-#month#-#year#") which evaluates to isDate("31-Feb-2009")
There was no confusion between day and month this way..
Regards,
Adam

The problem is i'm building the date from 3 dropdowns for day, month
and year, so the day dropdown has 1-31 on it. Therefore it's
possible to select 31/Feb/2009.
Then if you try to validate the date from the form, by feeding those
three values into the LSIsDate() function, or the IsValid(Date) or any
other date function, first of all you have to give those functions a
date object. To do that you use createdate() which chunders if you
give it 31/Feb/2009So therefore the function LSIHisDate can never be
tested on an invalid date (which is its main purpose for living after
all) .
This same point applies to IsDate() and IsValid("eurodate", ... and
IsValid("date", ... ) because they take a date object as an argument,
and you can't create an invalid date object.
Unless i'm missing something here, it seems that these date
validation functions have no use. The way you check validity of dates
is to either design the form so people can't enter invalid dates (e.g.
using a date picker) and/or using try/catch around the createdate()
function.

[cfaussie] Re: Validating dates ... what's the trick?
I've been thinking about that too. I think i'll just wrap the createdate in a try/catch and forget IsValid. I'm not sure what the point is of creating such a function if it's never going to be able to be given an invalid date. Anyway thanks for your help everyone. I'll go the try/catch route.

I could never get a reliable result from the various 'parsedate'
functions...
In the end I wrote my own function to create dates from strings. It
looks for a variety of delimiters then extracts day, month, year; or
month, year, day; or even year, month, day; depending on how it was set
up.
The trick at the end is to use createDate(year, month, day) wrapped up
in a try/catch. If it throws an error then you have a problem.

[cfaussie] Validating dates ... what's the trick?
I'm trying to catch when a user inputs an invalid date from a set of
dropdowns for day/month/year. What's the trick to using
IsValid("eurodate", ? This doesnt work if the user enters
31/2/2009:
Stuff
If i feed this line the 'date' 31/2/2009 it doesnt do the stuff
inside the cfif, it throws an error with the helpful error message
'MONTH'. I guess its because inside the IsValid() function, it's
trying to create the date first, and never getting to run the
isvalid() function.
But if the IsValid() function will only work when it's given a valid
date, what is the point of it?

[cfaussie] Re: CF8 bug with CFDOCUMENT
@Ray: sorry for the slow reply. I just tested it again and the "var" works fine. However bizarely if you call the local variable temp (as in you example) the string gets changed to "C:\Windows\Temp"! Truly odd! I'll leave it for the Adobe guys to sort it out. Hopefully they'll respond to my bug error log. On Feb 19, 12:17 am, Raymond Camden wrote: > So wait, you said you copied the arg.
