Re: [cfaussie] Multi Language Sites

2010-08-10 Thread Sean Corfield
These need to be executed on every request (put in your
Application.onRequestStart() for example):

setEncoding( url, utf-8 );
setEncoding( form, utf-8 );

Make sure your DB connection is set to handle UTF-8.

If you have any accented characters or such in your templates, make
sure they have this:

cfprocessingdirective pageencoding=utf-8/

Look into Paul Hastings' i18n stuff - for formatting dates etc and
maybe resource bundles (or do everything from the DB). Using standard
Java locales and you can use this code to convert a standard locale to
a localized display name (in the locale's default language):

cfset displayLocale = REReplace( getLocaleDisplayName(
siteLocales.locale ), ' \(.*\)', '' ) /

That strips the parenthesized sub-locale so it's easier to read.

On my current project, users can choose their language and it's set
for their session (so nothing special in the URL).

Hope that helps?

Ping me off-list (sean at corfield dot org) if you need more details.
If other folks have questions on the list, I'm happy to share.

 How do people handle the URLs for this?  Do you have a different URL for the
 different language? If so how do you deal with special language characters
 in the URL string?  For example i am doing some french stuff atm and they
 use a lot of accented characters and as i am using SES URLs i am wondering
 whats the best way to do this.

Re: [cfaussie] Need help setting up flex project folders please

PROGRESS!

I searched around and ended up finding a much more comprehensive
tutorial.  I was looking at the test drive earlier, which takes a
pretty quick view of a complex thing.  The tutorial I found is
called Flex In A Week, which covers the issues i was having in much
more depth and now I've got things rocking along beautifully.

As it happens, the day one presentations also go into Eclipse matters
quite a bit too,  and that explains lots of things that were not
apparent to me when i last looked at Eclipse.

Thanks for your help  Rae, Gerald and Andrew.

 Flash Builder 4 does allow for multiple projects to the web server, it is
 not very intuitive or developer friendly if you ask me.

Glad you got it sorted :) It can get tricky, there's an awesome tool I use
for debugging which you might find useful it can be found here

Speaking of debugging, I had a lot of trouble getting ColdFusion debugger
and Flash debugger working together.

 

It turned out that it wasn't as hard as I thought, if anyone is interested.

Hi Mike,

Just saw your post - the quick answer (speaking for RB) is that our Flex client 
projects are entirely separate to our CF projects.  If the .swf (or .air*) 
needs to be downloaded from the site, we create a release build in the client 
project and copy the output to the CF project. We should probably automate this 
with a build script at some point in the future. We do use FB4, although I 
found it worked best as a plugin to CFBuilder on my Mac.

Remember that regardless of the cfc being called by the client, the actual URL 
a remoting request goes to is /flex2gateway.

Cheers,
Robin

*BTW we've worked out how to dynamically create and sign .air files from a 
ColdFusion request using adt.jar, Mark's JavaLoader.cfc and the Java Security 
APIs. I should do a talk or blog post about it sometime, but if you need this 
capability sooner for a project contact me off list.

Re: [cfaussie] Need help setting up flex project folders please

2010-08-10 Thread Kai Koenig
I couldn't agree more, it's best to keep things separate. In a CF project with 
Flex client, I would always setup at least two projects: for the server and for 
the client app. Tie the server project to my local CF dev server with a local 
apache or CF's dev http server and run it. I would strongly suggest that you 
actually create an ant build script as Robin has suggested, that makes your 
life much easier for large and potentially modularised projects but also when 
it comes to clean up old builds etc.

Additionally to that - I'm not a big fan of using Flex or Flash Builders 
built-in management of server paths etc. That pretty much compiles a whole lot 
of stuff into your swf and _can_ make your deployment reasonably inflexible. 
It's nicer to create all the remoting setting dynamically in your Flex app, but 
I have to say that it's pretty hard and badly documented for a beginner to 
follow down that path.

Cheers
Kai
