Re: [ACFUG Discuss] HostMySite observations?
Oh hey sorry I was out of pocket the last couple of days. The new VPS provider I'm using is kickassvps.com. I run a Windows VPS with CF and SQL Server there for roughly $100 a month compared to the $195 a month I paid for the same with HMS.

[ACFUG Discuss] Strange cfdocument issue. Wondered if anyone might be able to offer advice.
I'm having a strange issue with cfdocument in the Safari browser only. Everywhere else it works just as expected. I've used cfdocument to create a PDF download from an HTML document. It works perfect except in Safari it downloads the actual cfm document and file name instead of the created PDF. I'm googling and researching this issue now but if anyone has any helpful info they could pass along it would be greatly appreciated. As always thanks for listening :-) Dusty

Hey I've been slammed and just now came back to this thread. I just glanced at the first few minutes of this clip. Funny. I can relate. I'm not going to leave ColdFusion though anytime soon :-).

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] running coldfusion apps on Mac
I do have the CFIDE mapped in the other sites too. CF seems to execute fine. I think this is a problem in IIS or something. This is what I'm actually running into now: Windows 7 Pro with IIS 7.5 1. CF and SQL successfully installed and datasources are set up and working. 2. As long as I use the default site in IIS everything things seems to work fine. Even if I point the site to a different folder other that default wwwroot folder, all is well. 3. If I add new site and point that to a different folder (like c:\websites\mysite) there are problems. For example I added a new CF site on a different port 88 and browse it with http://localhost:88. It pulls up the homepage inside the root folder just fine and it executes CF code. However, any other page inside of a subfolder generates a 404 error and in the error it displays the path to the default wwwroot folder (c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\subfoldername) instead of the actual path set up in the IIS site (c:\websites\mysite). For now I'm solving the issue by just changing the default website in IIS to point to the correct folder (c:\websites\mysite). However, now I'm stuck with only being able to run one site so hopefully I'll figure out a solution soon.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] running coldfusion apps on Mac
Hi Charlie: I just read your email. I think it accurately describes what is happening. I did run the server config tool yesterday but I didn't remove first. Today I've been focused on doing actual coding instead of the new installation but I'm about to jump over and play with it some more. I'll let you know what happens and thanks again for the advice :-) Dusty On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 10:01 PM, Charlie Arehart char...@carehart.orgwrote: Dusty, there are a few potential problems. First, are you saying that you installed CF10 telling it to connect to IIS during the installer, telling it to run with “all sites”? And then after that, did you load up the CF Admin with localhost or 127.0.0.1 (which worked), but now find that when you added a new IIS site, and are trying to browse pages there, it’s not working (except in the root)? In that case, the problem may not be so much “with CF10”, but rather due to a difference in IIS 7 (which also applied to 9.0.1). Only 9.0.1 and 10 are supported for IIS 7, unless one runs in IIS 6 compatibility mode (and to some other manual tweaks to get earlier releases to work.) And one of the differences of running CF 9.0.1 or 10 against IIS 7 in its native mode is that, even if you may tell it to configure “all sites”, it (IIS) no longer causes newly added sites to inherit all the settings set for the server. So as Mark said, you need to re-run the CF web server config tool whenever you add a site, to remove and re-add the option to connect “all sites”. It’s annoying, but again it’s not new in CF 10. It’s just that often people “moving to 10” are also “moving to Windows 7” or “moving to Windows 2008” for the first time, likely running a shiny new install of IIS 7, which (unless you change it) is running in native IIS 7 mode (versus IIS 6 Compat mode.) As such, they then experience this “difference” connecting CF to IIS 7. The need to do this reconfiguration on new sites is indeed documented in the CF 9.0.1 and 10 docs, and in the config tool, and the installer, but people often miss it (expecting that things work as they always have, and that the discussion is not something “new”, I think.) Here, also, is another gotcha: in Windows 7 and 2008, there’s also new security (better, but tighter and it gets in the way sometimes compared to old experience/expectations). I have seen many people who, even though their user “was a Windows administrator account” or “in the Admin group”, they still needed to choose manually to “run as administrator” when launching the CF web server config tool. If you use the GUI, right-click on it in StartAll ProgramsAdobeColdFusion xWed Server Configuration and choose “run as administrator”. If using the command line, do that same right-click trick when opening the command prompt.

[ACFUG Discuss] running coldfusion apps on Mac
I'm loading up VMWare and Win 7 Pro on a new macbook and was planning to install CF and SQL Server on Win 7 virtual machine. However, this is just a thought and I'm curious if anyone has ever run a CF server on the Mac side but use an SQL Server database that would reside on the Win 7 virtual machine. I'm sure this is probably possible but is it a good idea or does anyone have any thought about this? -Dusty
Re: [ACFUG Discuss] running coldfusion apps on Mac
Steve thanks for the info. I'm familiar with configuring a hosts file on a Windows machine. I'm not sure if the IP on my VM is dynamically assigned or not so this is a concern. I seem to remember in the past hitting an IIS site on the VM from the mac side and always having to change the IP. If you have any other info about how to solve that problem, please share and if not I will google up something to try and resolve that. Are you saying I could configure the hosts file on the VM for this. If you have an example line from your hosts file that would be awesome :-) Thanks again, Dusty On Tue, Nov 13, 2012 at 7:28 PM, Steve Ross nowhid...@gmail.com wrote: Yup, That is my setup. Simply install CF and create a DSN to your VM. I typically like to add something to my /etc/hosts to point to sql server incase you dynamically assign an IP for your VM. So I have in my /etc/hosts a definition for sql.vm and point that at the IP for my VM's sql server instance. I like it better than creating a shared drive and creating a smb share. That always seems clunky. Also, apache will let you setup n vhosts so you can actually run apps without having to muck with creating a different context etc for the apps to run under. Hope that helps.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] How would you feel about doing a contract job in Costa Rica
Charlie is correct. San Jose has both the nice and the very very gnarly. I don't go to San Jose very often and I fly in and out of Liberia actually which is an hour North of Tamarindo. I do go to San Jose occasionally though for shopping and I stay in the nicer areas like Escazu which is near the only Apple store in Costa Rica ;-) ... Life in Tamarindo is much different than San Jose and yes as Charlie says that's why I don't live near the big city. Tamarindo is 4 hours North of San Jose and centrally located to numerous amazing and famous beaches like Playa Flamingo, Playa Grande (turtle reserve), Playa Avellanas, and Playa Negra. The town itself is rustic and full of wonderful people and culture. They nickname the town TamaGringo because most of the businesses there are owned by Americans and other foreigners. Everyone speaks english so there is no need to know spanish beyond a few basic words. There is very little violent crime and no vandalism that I have ever seen. However burglaries can and do happen but certainly not any worse than anywhere I've lived in Atlanta. I live in an apartment with gates much the same way I lived in Atlanta except that it's warm all year and the apartment is a few steps away from the beach :-). Internet access and 3g cell phone service are good but there is a little more than normal downtime as compared to US. It's not bad though. Once every couple of months they'll announce an organized power outage which usually is during the week for several hours and all the local ex-pat online workers (mostly SEO's and Blogger types) meet at the local Subway Sandwich shop to work on projects and use their power generators. It's kind of cool actually to see all the faces there of online workers that have transformed their lives into an adventure. There are also two amazing private schools in Playa Flaming and my daughter will be attending one of them in Fall of 2013. Both schools are are owned by Americans and have an American curriculum with a bilingual focus.

Just be prepared: it’s not all rainforest, beach, and nature’s beauty. The San Jose city and suburbs have more a feel of South Central LA, with nearly all houses (the nice and the gnarly) having not only bars on their windows, but iron fences several feet high surrounding them, then topped with barbed wire and/or concertina wire. I just can’t imagine living in an environment where you have that sort of constant fear of burglary, vandalism, or worse. But again though, the people and nature are indeed wonderful. I’m sure Dusty (and others) would say “and that’s why I don’t live in or near the big city”.

[ACFUG Discuss] How would you feel about doing a contract job in Costa Rica
Dear ACFUG members: First, I'm posting this to discussion because this is not yet a job offering but something I want to discuss and get a feel for. It's been a while since I've used this list so I hope it reaches all of you. It's been even longer since I lived in Atlanta. Six years ago I relocated from Atlanta to the very famous small surf and beach town in Costa Rica known as Tamarindo. This is the same town as seen in one of the most famous surf movies of all time Endless Summer (Endless Summer II actually). I've been working remotely from this amazing place for 6 years now and I love it so much and it has taught me many new things about life. For starters I was always a surfer. I grew up surfing in Florida so relocating to Costa Rica was much like getting back to my roots and surf life. I also learned how to speak Spanish and live simple and greatly reduced my cost of living and need to acquire assets I don't really need or use (fancy cars, fancy cloths, fancy lifestyle) and refocused my life on the things that matter all while maintaining my web developer career largely based on my ColdFusion and SQL Server knowledge. Free time, family, friends, the beach, surfing community, etc are all things that mean the world to me. So about now you're asking yourself: Why is this guy emailing acfug about this? Well you see, life has just presented a new opportunity to me and several people who I will hire on a contract basis. In the past three years I have developed solutions for a particular client that sells medical information subscriptions and the data is stored in SQL Server and delivered through ColdFusion apps (and some .NET ugg!). The projects were very successful and I now have a budget to actually open a new office and hire a small devoted team of 3 to 5 people. The team would be comprised of a Project Manager (me), a graphic and layout designer, an interface coding guru (html5, css4, jQuery, etc), and one or two application developers (CF, SQL, jQuery, AJAX). The best part is that the office will be in Downtown Tamarindo, Costa Rica in one of the best buildings in town and centrally located to everything. This is on the Northern Pacific Side with amazing nature, beaches, culture, surfing waves, ocean fishing, volcanoes, rock climbing, white water rafting, monkeys, iguanas, and all kinds of other things that make it such an amazing place. Tamarindo also has an amazing community full of culture, restaurants, night clubs, and tour companies all centered in a town where you don't need a car (walk or bike will do). So I thought I would start this adventure today by putting this little feeler email out and ask the acfug community members about how you would feel about taking a 1 year contract position (option to renew would be possible if we have successful launches) which may pay a little less but provide an amazing experience in an amazing place. For example, I would be looking for several top notch developers but I would only be able to pay a basic salary of around 35K with a little relocation help and I realize that is not great pay for a senior developer. However the tradeoff is in the experience of getting to live and work in Costa Rica. There are no special visa requirements because we will not be doing business in Costa Rica. The work we will do are all for a US based client so we'd pretty much be working from a private office with a work hard and play hard philosophy. The work schedule may very well be based around the local Tide Charts and surf reports :-) and surfing would be highly encouraged. How would you feel about this situation? If there's nothing tying you down, would ya do it? Yes, No, Maybe? Any thought? Be sure to Google Tamarindo Costa Rica and check out some sites and photos of this beautiful place.

[ACFUG Discuss] cfwindow - how to change the grey border in the header?
Does anyone know how to change the grey curvy border in the headerStyle of a cfwindow? Changing the border for the body using CSS is no problem but when when I add CSS for the border in the headerStyle attribute it does nothing. I'm able to change the background color of the header no problem but it looks really funny with the default grey curvy border. I'm trying to get it to match the border color I set for the bodyStyle attribute. Thanks in advance for any help or advice!! Dusty
[ACFUG Discuss] hostmysite.com ... hosting.com
I've been using a CF+ VPS server at hostmysite for years now and all has been well. However just got an email yesterday that they are terminating VPS services with the option to stay on at only triple the price haha ... So time to move on of course. Does anyone have thoughts on a good VPS or similar dedicated type solution for CF. I really need a Windows server (that's what I know), CF, and SQL Server, etc. I've never had to do a big migration like this so the only way I know how at the moment is to move all the sites and database over one by one. Ouch!!! I've been looking into kickassvps.com. If anyone has any thought to share it would be much appreciated. Thanks for listening :) Dusty

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] bizarre issue with output from cfquery
There is one Cold Fusion datasource that points to a system datasource that uses the MS text file driver. It allows me to query any of the csv files I have in a folder. For example: cfquery name=myname datasource=mydata select phone, fax from [pathToFolder]\[filname].csv /cfquery Then as a test scenario I output as follows: cfloop query=myname pPhone: cfif len(phone)#phone#cfelse[empty]/cfif br /Fax: cfif len(fax)#fax#cfelse[empty]/cfif/p /cfloop There's no problems with HTML. Also to confirm, you don't have to define a datasource to one file. You can set up a datasource in CF that points to a machine user datasource to an entire folder and then query multiple files. I query the files individually though (no joins). For the most part it works great. So last night I emptied the file in question and started add the data back line by line (it only has 25 records/lines). I inspected the data manually and see nothing wrong with it. Correct number of commas. No escape character problems, etc. When adding data back I get really bizzare behavior. For example, the first few records output fine as long as the phone number in the first record DOES contain dashes (even though other below it don't), however REMOVE the dashes from the phone number in the first record and then suddenly all phone numbers with dashes (in other records) output empty. Then it gets more bizzarre because I'm adding the data to the file line by line trying to find something strange about the data itself and once I add line 5 of the data back, the empty phone string starts happening again. Yet inspecting the data, I really find absolutely nothing wrong. I've also notice that if I add any non numeric character to a phone number, it also outputs empty. Ironically, table1 (another csv file) which is identical in structure, does not have this problem (it has different but similar data in it). I also realized that file1 also has this problem but I wasn't catching it because there was only one phone number in the data that contained dashes and it also outputs empty. I've concluded that somehow it will not output the phone or fax field unless it contains a int type data (number). Adding any non-numeric character to the phone or fax will cause it to output empty. Yet I'm using text files and there is no way to configure data types that I'm aware of. On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 4:33 AM, Charlie Arehart char...@carehart.orgwrote: I’m curious about a couple of things: - you refer to “two tables(files) in the tdatabase”, but being CSV files, there is no “database”, right? Do you mean in “the datasource”? If so, why/how would you have two CSV files defined in one datasource? Does anything change if you create two DSNs, one for each file? Or if you flip the order of their definition in the one datasource (or database)? That’s just a wild guess. The bigger questions are the two. - when you say things “are outputting” funky, are you outputting them as HTML? Have you looked at the underlying HTML source (in the browser)? Maybe the data is there, but something else is causing them to appear to be “empty”. I’ve seen it happen. As an alternative to doing “view source” all the time, you can also use HTMLCodeFormat in CFML for the output you’re generating, to show the resulting HTML on screen as the tags that would be built , rather than seeing the result of the HTML being rendered on screen.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] disappearing variable values
Yes that was it. For a test I removed the application.cfm file and then that corrected the problem so then I went through the application.cfm and see there was also cfparam name=url.donorid default= in the application.cfm file. So obviously the first tag was canceling out the second. Thanks Charlie. That should have been obvious to me. I thought too much into this and look right passed the obvious.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] a very strange sql error that only happens when using CF
I did end up re doing the entire query in a cfquery tag instead of the
connection string. I also used the queryparam tags like below. Seems to have
resolved the error and hopefully prevents SQL injection too.

Qualify the columns and the view and query param the search string. This

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF blogs
That's Tom that's just the kind of input I was looking for. I downloaded Mango last night. Seems easy to install. I like what I see so far. One of the guys at the office wrote me this morning to tell me he opened an account at blogger.com and ask me if we should run multiple blogs. One integrated into our site and another one at blogger.com. I didn't know what to tell him. I'm not a blog expert or anything but at the moment I don't know how it would help to have two which would basically have the same info on it. Does anyone know if would help or hurt to post the same content to multiple blogs? Good thing? Bad thing?

Those are very good reasons. Ease of skin is very important in the project I've been assigned. Thanks again to all for the input.

It's got an extremely well designed admin console that automatically notifies you of updates, not just to the engine, but to skins as well I feel that BlogCFC is a good starter blog for anyone wanting to use a CF blog engine. Mango, to me, just seems like a much more elegant and professional piece of software. I've told Ray as much and he agrees. BlogCFC is a hobby for him, not something he can dedicate a lot of time to maintain. Mango is something that Nauhel and Laura have time to dedicate to and it shows. My two cents.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] a very strange sql error that only happens when using CF
Yea that's a good point Dean. Will cfqueryparam tags solve that? Also if
using a connection string approach as opposed to a cfquery tag, what's the
best way to deal with SQLInjection?
I know what SQLinjection is and I'm sure I should probably be more concerned
with it that I have been in the past. Thanks for pointing that out and I'm
going to make it a point to do better in that area.

[ACFUG Discuss] CF blogs
I'm very curious to know which ColdFusion blog is the most preferred in the CF community. I've read some really good things about Mango Blog. I've been given the task of redesigning and reorganizing a blog for the company I'm currently working for. We currently have an older version WP blog. Several problems that I've been asked by my boss to solve: 1. We want a tighter integration with our existing website which is a custom site built with CF and MS SQL 2005. It has very custom and specialized features including it's own login system (Permission based using bitAnd that Hal Helms taught me years ago). The folks at our office never liked the WP blog because it has its own user system and we were never able to tie it to our user system (shared login type of thing). Maybe the new blog doesn't even need a login. We'd also like to output posts on our other websites which are all CF sites. Mango seems like a good fit because we can keep the blog data in the same SQL Server database so I'm assuming I could use CF to output posts directly in the skin of our other sites? 2. I need a blog that I can customize the look with our existing website skin. I also have to say that I suck at doing pure CSS layouts so I still use tables. I do use CSS just not in a pure layout. If that is a problem, I may even outsource that to a person with solid CSS layout skills. 3. Our older WP blog honestly is just too much for any of our staff to use. Everytime they try to post stuff they always manage to screw up the formatting of have some kind of issue and I end up redoing every post they make. I hate web based WSIWYG editors so I just code a post with hand coded clean HTML and inline CSS styles in every tag. I do it in DW and copy paste it over into WP. Anyway I am not a pro blogger nor do I claim to have great blogging knowledge. Any thoughts or opinions are greatly appreciated and please if I can somehow return the favor or contribute in some way, please let me know. Also just to let everyone know. I lived and worked as a CF developer in Atlanta for some years and used to occasionally attend ACFUG meetings. It's been some time since Atlanta and I'm living and traveling in places where there are little to no technical user groups like this. So technically I'm not in Atlanta anymore but I'm looking to be more involved with one or more groups like this remotely. So if there are any little things I can do to help, I'm down with that. Thanks, Dusty

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] a very strange sql error that only happens when using CF
No I just basically output the query before it gets to the cfquery tag. That outputs it on the page instead of running the query in CF. Then I copied the query into SQL Studio and it runs fine. However when I run the same query in a cfquery tag I get the message. No division is being used. The single quotes are just straight ASCII text. No evil MS Word.

Yep that runs fine.
This is really strange. The value of the qText variable is the same as the
query below yet when I stuff #qText# in there, it somehow doubles the quotes
by itself. Damn I just don't get how it could or would do that.
If I output the value of the qText variable on a page, quotes are correct.
Have you ever seen anything like this?
Thanks,

Here the error I see in CF:

Here's the SQL code in the qText variable. Please note that it runs fun

Any advise or thought on this of course is greatly appreciated.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] a very strange sql error that only happens when using CF
Very familiar with that function but in this case. That's not it. If I
remember correctly that function is to preserve single quotes that might be
in the string like:
'It's a problem'
in this case the string never has a quote:
select * from mydonors where donorid like '%ABC123%'

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] a very strange sql error that only happens when using CF
So just to let you all know. I did find a solution.
I basically rolled my code back to the way it was yesterday because it
always worked before. Then I made the same little update I made today AGAIN
(just adding a reference to one other column in the query). Now it works.
I still don't for the life of me get how I can output the string of SQL and
run it fine in both a query analyzer and and in a cfquery tag yet when I
pass it in as a variable, CF adds additional single quotes on its own. That
is a new and very bizarre thing to see for me.
Well I can't figure out but I did at least get past it so I can move on but
still the curiosity is killing me.
Thanks to all that replied and have a great day and a great rest of the
week.

Can you show me the exact code you used when you tried
PreserveSingleQuotes?
According to the documentation, This function is useful in SQL statements
to defer evaluation of a variable reference until runtime.
Seems to be just what you need, but it must be used properly.
*Example B*: Consider this code:
cfset list0 = '1','2''3'
cfquery sql = select * from foo where bar in (#list0#)
ColdFusion escapes the single-quote characters in the list as follows:
1, 2, 3
The cfquery tag throws an error.
You code this function correctly as follows:
cfquery sql = select * from foo where bar in
(#preserveSingleQuotes(list0)#)
This function ensures that ColdFusion evaluates the code as follows:
'1', '2', '3'

I may have to do that because now I have another issue LOL. While using the
connection string approach, it works great on our production server. However
I can't for the life of me get connections strings like this to work on my
development server (Mac Book with VMWare Win XP CF 8) so I'm likely going to
do something like
cfif production server
!--- use connection string approach
cfelseif my Mac Book
!--- use cfquery tag ---
cfelse

[ACFUG Discuss] Re: calling a CFC with PHP
Hi thanks again to those who responded off list. I've been researching and trying different things with PHP to try and do this but I'm stumped and giving up for now. The concept of CFCs are very clear to me and I know how to use them in CF and do so often. However, the whole remote web service call thing is really foreign to me and I just don't know enough about it to be able to accomplish this. I understand completely what web services do and what they can accomlish I just don't know any thing about SOAP, WDSL, ect to be able to understand what I need to do and my PHP experience is bare minimum.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] creating a web service with cf
Allen yes very well said this is exactly what I was planning on doing. LOL, however, I may have talked the person I'm doing this with into moving the site over to a server with CF. Many thanks to you and to all for the responses on this. I really appreciate it.

Have a function in your cfc that returns your query. Then have another function that will format that particular query into an html table. That will do two things for you. One, you can separate your data layer from your display layer, and if in the future you feel that you need that query for more than just displaying HTML tables, you can easily just call that function. So no, there's no problem with wanting to just return an HTML table. You can do that, just separate out your data function and your html formatting functions. Give that a shot. As John said below, from php you would just call the page as follows: http://url_to_cfc/yourcfc.cfc?methodname=yourmethod - be sure to get rid of the returnFormat=json if you're going to be outputting html.

To do so, the response body must consist of lines of text, with each line having fields that are delimited by a character that identifies the column breaks. The default delimiter is a comma (,). The response data can also use a text qualifier; the default is a double-quotation mark (). If you surround a string field in the text qualifier, the field can contain the delimiter character. To include the text qualifier in field text, escape it by using a double character. The following line shows a two-line request body that is converted into a query. It has three comma-delimited fields: Field1,Field2,Field3 A comma, in text,A quote: Oh My!,Plain text Run the following code to show how ColdFusion treats this data: cfhttp method=Get url=127.0.0.1:8500/tests/escapetest.txt name=onerow cfdump var=#onerow#br - To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink http://www.fusionlink.com - -- Dusty Hale Website: www.DustyHale.com Email: du...@dustyhale.com Phone (Atlanta): 404.474.3754

I got curious about running real queries on text files. I have done this some years ago using a DSN. I looked over your blog post on the zip code data. When I try to use this approach though I get the following error that the attribute connectstring does not exist for the cfquery tag (strange). The tag does not have an attribute called connectstring. The valid attribute(s) are name, datasource, dbtype, sql, username, password, maxrows, blockfactor, timeout, dbname, cachedafter, cachedwithin, result, debug.

I’d bet when you try to retrieve the file as a CSV, the web server steps in and changes the mime type to something other than plain text, and therefore CF (and the CFHTTP) gets something other than what they expected. (BTW, that code you show below doesn’t come from my site, per se, but maybe you got it from a link off of it). I just ran a test of some working code (adapted from an example Ben Nadel put together). It works fine for me, whether file is called .txt or .csv. I’ve attached the files here. Do they work for you (may need to adjust the url in the cfm page)? If not, then I’d think the web server is your issue. (You could also request the CSV in your browser, or—to remove browser processing from the analysis--do your CFHTTP without the NAME attribute, which then just reads it as a text file. Dump the entire CFHTTP scope, to see the cfhttp.mimetype. Anyway, here’s a simpler way to read in a CSV as a database (one I do link to from my CF411 site, and which would be easier than the older approach I mentioned in my last note), which doesn’t rely on CFHTTP or then get bothered by any web server mapping issues: http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2007/2/5/csv Hope that’s helpful. /charlie - To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink http://www.fusionlink.com - -- Dusty Hale Website: www.DustyHale.com Email: du...@dustyhale.com Phone (Atlanta): 404.474.3754 -- Dusty Hale Website: www.DustyHale.com Email: du...@dustyhale.com Phone (Atlanta): 404.474.3754
Re: [ACFUG Discuss] excel or csv to database table
Many thanks Charlie. I just got in the office and read this. Honestly I have been out of the ACFUG loop for a bit and completely forgot about these resources. So I will give this some loving :-) ... My other thought would be ask if you think it would be ok to just use the files themselves as the database rather than import and use MS SQL. This way the files could just be uploaded to the server and overwritten when they need to be updated. There are basically 5 files with some location data in it that are used for a specialized dealer locator app. My thought was maybe I could just read the files into a select query and then loop the query to filter the records to be displayed. There will never be more than several hundred records in the excel files. However the site that will use it may have a fair amount of traffic so I didn't know if reading the files might become a problem. Perhaps I could read them into a cached query to solve that problem? Does anyone see any reason why this approach would not work?

Re: re[2]: [ACFUG Discuss] excel or csv to database table
Thanks again. I tried the approach below which was recommended on cf411.com. It works as long as the file extension is .txt. When using the .csv extension, it throws an error Variable onerow does not exist. I am fine with just using the .txt extention but if anyone has any clue why or how I could use a .csv extension, I would love to hear it. Thanks again for the replies. It always helps to hear others opinions. Dusty *Building a query from a delimited text file* The cfhttp tag can create a ColdFusion query object form the response body. To do so, the response body must consist of lines of text, with each line having fields that are delimited by a character that identifies the column breaks. The default delimiter is a comma (,). The response data can also use a text qualifier; the default is a double-quotation mark (). If you surround a string field in the text qualifier, the field can contain the delimiter character. To include the text qualifier in field text, escape it by using a double character. The following line shows a two-line request body that is converted into a query. It has three comma-delimited fields: Field1,Field2,Field3 A comma, in text,A quote: Oh My!,Plain text Run the following code to show how ColdFusion treats this data: cfhttp method=Get url=127.0.0.1:8500/tests/escapetest.txt name=onerow cfdump var=#onerow#br On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 2:11 PM, Mischa Uppelschoten ext 10 mischa.uppelscho...@bankersx.com wrote: : My other thought would be ask if you think it would be ok to just use the : files themselves as the database rather than import and use MS SQL.

I found a work around for now by creating a copy of the live database on my VPS server at HostMySite. Not a great way to develop but will get me by for now.

If I install express, I don't think it has any kind of import export abilities so I wasn't yet sure how I would pull down the data from the live database.

[ACFUG Discuss] OT: problem with IIS on XP Pro.
Hi I used the method below to run multiple sites in IIS on XP Pro. It has always worked fine until today. Now the extra site I have always been able to use is not working. The default site still works fine. All other I get the generic Cannot find server error. If anyone know why this might be happening or a remedy for it, I would greatly appreciate it. I already tried deleting the second site and recreating it but same thing happens. The only other thing I know to do is maybe uninstall IIS completely and reinstall it and try again. In the server versions of Windows, you can have multiple versions of web sites installed into IIS and running simultaneously. You can install and run more than one web site within IIS in the professional version of Windows XP or Windows 2000. You just have to pull a trick to modify the IIS metabase to that it is aware of the additional sites. The user interface does not support creating more than one web site. Also, you still will not be able to have more than one site running at the same time. To create the second web site: * Create a command prompt window. * Type cd \Inetpub\Adminscripts and press enter. * Find out what the highest numbered site you currently have is. You can do that by typing adsutil.vbs ENUM /P W3SVC If you have never done this process before, the highest numbered site should be 1. * Add one to the highest numbered site. Then run this command: adsutil.vbs COPY W3SVC/1 W3SVC/x Where x is replaced by the new numbered site. For example if you run the enum command and the highest numbered site is 4, then type this: adsutil.vbs COPY W3SVC/1 W3SVC/5 * Run the IIS Manager. You should find a new site has been created. It will be an exact copy of site #1, so you will need to change a few things. Go into the properties for the web site. Change the site name, and the virtual directory for the root of the web site to point to another location on the hard disk. Usually, you will create a new subdirectory under Inetpub and point the virtual directory at that. * To use the site, you must first stop the currently running site, then start the new site. To delete a site, first stop it if it is running (bad things happen if you don't!). Then type: adsutil.vbs DELETE W3SVC/x Where x is the number of the site you want to delete. - Dusty - To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -

The only thing is I want to submit the included form whenever the tab changes. I found a way to add a listener and capture the TabChange event, but it seems to be adding multiple form objects to the DOM, and I haven't been able to find a way to submit the correct form yet. When I started playing with CFLayout, I wasn't planning to get sucked into Ajax/Spry. But, the tabs just look so cool! So, has anyone done anything like this?

[ACFUG Discuss] error handling
I was wondering if anyone wanted to discuss best approaches to error handling for cf sites. I want to implement some very basic error handling for one of my sites. Basically I just don't want the ugly cf errors to display for users of the site. I would also like to be notified via email when an error happens and better yet get the error information. Is the best approach still the cferror tag? Is there a newer or better approach or best practice? Anyone got some code they could share?

In particular, I have an app where I am using client variables for a lot of very simple integer values. I could just as easily use session. The client storage option is a database and so, the larger the number of client variables in the app, and the larger the number of users (visitors), then the larger that database becomes. Again, these are simple values such as one char text values, 1-8 digit integers, etc., Nothing complex. So, does anyone have strong feelings as to which structure would be better for purposes of speed (overall page load), and system resources - larger database for client variables versus more memory used for session? _ Derrick Peavy Sales and Web Services CollegeClassifieds.com http://www.collegeclassifieds.com A Service of Universal Advertising, inc. ___ - To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink http://www.fusionlink.com - - To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -

I think the answer to this is to make the second Application.cfc extend webroot.Application, but maybe there's a better way. Problem 2. When I did have the second Application.cfc extend webroot.Application, cfm pages in the secure directory don't fire the OnSessionStart event located in webroot.Application.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Best way to download a PDF file
It sounds like you answered a lot of your own questions about how to organize download screens. You could redirect them after download or send to a download page either would work I would think. About your problem with the download timeout or getting cut off. I had this same problem with the use of cfcontent and see the note from a previous thread if your website hosting company uses SeeFusion: 1. The webserver has a monitoring service software on it call SeeFusion on it that troubleshoots problem web application scripts that might interfere with other sites on the server. This enforces some rules for shared server websites. One rule is called a forced 50 second timeout. 2. During some testing we noticed that downloaded files were getting interrupted at 50 seconds so we think the downloads were timing out for some folks in the case were the download was taking more than 50 seconds. Some of these files are as large as 15mb so obviously will take longer than 50 seconds for some folks. My code was already configured to run as long as 2000 seconds, however, this monitoring service that is on the server overrides my application code that tell the server to allow 2000 seconds. 3. Hosting has configured SeeFusion to exclude the script that handles the download. 4. Hope this is not confusing. Let me know if you have questions about it. -- Hope this helps.

Adobe will upgrade me to the CS3 Master suite for $1390 under the Windows version then I have to get a platform change on that license which will only cost the price of shipping. During the transition, I still have the Dell notebook to get me by if I get in trouble with the MAC. So that's the plan. Thanks again to all.

There is nothing I can't do on my Mac that I can't do on my Windows PC, though as some have mentioned there are some things in a corporate world that are a little more efficiently geared towards Windows. Here are some of the things I use daily on my Mac for development and work-a-day activities: * Eclipse with Flex Builder, CFEclipse, Adobe's ColdFusion extensions and various other plug-ins. * TextMate (my programmers text editor of choice). BBEdit, TextWrangler (a free editor by the makers of BBEdit), and Smultron are also good. * ColdFusion 8. Since Mac OSX has Apache built-in, I was able to integrate CF with it fairly easily. * Cisco VPN (for connecting to work). I also use Shimo, a fantastic free front-end for Cisco VPN that makes connecting/disconnecting a breeze. * Microsoft Office, in particular Entourage for working with Exchange. * Remote Desktop Connection (Microsoft's RDP client). * Terminal (OSX's command-line). * Safari, Firefox, and Opera for testing. * Aqua Data Studio (I use this versus Microsoft's Enterprise Manager and Oracle's tools) * MySQL (for occasional light-weight projects, otherwise I use SQL Server on our development servers at work) * CSSEdit (a great shareware CSS editor) * Plaxo (a great free service that I have installed on both my Exchange calendars and contacts in sync with my home's Address Book and iCal programs). * X-Mind or Freemind (for the occasional mindmap). * OmniGraffle (similar to Visio, but in my opinion produces nicer looking results). * Snapz Pro X (I mainly use it for making demos). * Yummy FTP (my FTP client of choice, though there are a ton of great FTP clients for OSX). * Adobe Creative Suite. Some of the above is commercial, some shareware, and some freeware. The most expensive items were Microsoft Office, Adobe's Creative Suite, and Aqua Data Studio. Most others are either free or I got through shareware bundles from macheist.com or macupdate.com. Flex Builder 3 licenses are fully cross-platform now, greatly simplifying things there.

[ACFUG Discuss] Doing CF development on a MAC
OK this is probably a good question for Dean! I am now highly considering getting a mac to further develop the creative aspects of what I do. I understand that some developers have moved to Mac and use the VMWare to run windows applications. My questions are: If developing on a Mac would I install things like Photoshop and Illustrator on the Mac OS or would I be doing it through the VMWare on Windows. I currently have the Adobe CS2 Web Bundle suite running on my pc under Win XP so I am not even sure yet that the software I have will run on the Mac OS (I have to check on that). I plan to upgrade to the full Adobe Master Collection with all the great new CS3 tools so I wonder if I have to order it for Mac or Windows or if the software package will install on either. I am hoping either :-) ... I am researching now but would appreciate any quick answers if any one has time.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Doing CF development on a MAC
Derrick yes that is exactly the kind of information I need. My hope was that I would not have to run all the Adobe software on the Windows OS and it sounds like that is the case but I guess I need to get the Mac version of all the software. So the question might be can I upgrade my CS2 products to Mac Version CS3 products? Andrew's response indicated I might be able to do that so I am going to do more research and/or contact Adobe about that today. I'll share the outcome.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Doing CF development on a MAC
I just spoke with Adobe directly and you can switch your license from pc to mac. However, they claim they no longer have CS2 products to distribute so you can only do this if you're already using CS3 products.

IIRC, Adobe will allow you to switch your PC based licenses to mac based ones, but there may be a catch or two attached. Seems I remember something about only being able to do that once per license. Currently there is very little that you can't do on a mac, so unless there is a program not available for mac or one which you can't move the license on - I'd try to keep it all running on the mac os if possible. -Cameron On Fri, Apr 11, 2008 at 12:26 PM, Dusty Hale [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK this is probably a good question for Dean!

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] How does one use cfmail?
It really has nothing to do with the sender's server or the recipient server. You just need a mail server that will allow your application access it. A lot of mail servers are set up to not allow that kind of thing or otherwise we could just be using anyone's mail server in our cfmail tag. If you do use your own mail server then you may also need to pass in the username and password for the email your email box. Did you try that? I believe there are additional attributes username=blabla password=blabla ... give that a try if you haven't already done so.

No luck so far. The company which allegedly handles their e-mail (USA.net) tells me the SMTP server to use is exchange.usa.net, and at least when I enter that in the 'mail' dialog of the CF Administrator, then put a check by Verify Mail Server Connection and submit it, it does respond with Connection Verification Successful. But whether I use server='exchange.usa.net' in the cfmail tag, or just let it use what's in the CF Adminstrator, the office manager at my client's site tells me he sees nothing from me in his e-mail Inbox. (I have my e-mail address in the from='sender' parm of the tag, and my name in the subject line parm of the tag). If we assume that this means what I was given as the SMTP server name is incorrect, how do I find the correct name? I'll be at their site tomorrow and can look on their server, but where would I look? The guy at the USA.net help desk said the place to look is in the mail icon in Settings -- Control Panel. He said there should be profiles there with the correct information. However, when I click the Mail icon there on my own computer just to educate myself, there are not profiles to be seen. And when I called the office manager at the client's place of business and asked him to look for the Mail icon in Settings -- Control Panel on their web server, he said he could find no such icon in the Control Panel. (I'm almost certain that PC is running Windows Server 2003, while I'm running XP Professional.)

Also I assume you will be moving the app to a different server after you test it locally. Where ever you host it at should be able to provide you with an SMTP server name to use. If you plan to use the server attribute rather than configuring it in cf admin, you might consider setting a variable in your application.cfm file with the value of the server name so you can easily change it.
