RE: [ACFUG Discuss] redirect to mobile version using a php page.
One last suggestion - I fully agree with what Howard and Frank wrote. But, before you go doing a lot of work trying to mobilize your site, I would strongly suggest looking in your web logs to determine what type of mobile devices are hitting your site. You can do this in a number of ways - analyze the logs of your own webserver to determine the user client and operating systems being used, get free log analysis software (such as http://awstats.sourceforge.net/) - I'm sure there are others. If you're not opposed to it, google analytics also provides some nice updates for determining what type of mobile browsers are hitting your site. I'd run at least a few weeks worth of analysis to find out the extent of mobile usage on your site. If most people are using smartphones such as iphones or android devices, then you may not need to do a thing. If people are using older flip phone browsers, then you're looking into a whole new set of criteria. Just wanted to say all that so you don't just blindly spend a lot of time, money and resources on something that may not be necessary. Find what's being used the most, get your hands on a couple of those devices, test our site on those and then decide the plan of action.

With your comments, I feel a lot more confident about my direction for mobilizing my site. Most of my pages won't need to be mobilized and we follow most of the guidelines for phones already (not a lot of javascript, not heavy in manipulating stuff via css although some css is ok and simple html coding. I think the majority of the pages will work just fine, but there is a site we found www.bmobilized.comhttp://www.bmobilized.com that can instantly turn your site into mobile ready only when they are on their phones with an option to have them bounce back to the main site if they want to rather than use the mobilized site. I don't know if we'll use them or another like site, but we're looking into it. Turns out that site is NOT good for login-based sites like my main site, but might work for another site we have for a different business. Thanks again. kristine On Oct 11, 2011, at 1:02 AM, Frank Moorman wrote: I also agree with the thought of not creating a different site... If your site is coded with an eye towards web standards, it should appear decent and functional in any browser. The only real concern for mobile browsers is screen resolution. However, even this should be treated without grouping things as a mobile browser; after all can you tell the difference between a phone and a tablet(which would have a large screen)? My personal thoughts are to only consider screen resolution when creating a website that may be used by mobile browsers. However, even this may be moot because mobile devices usually allow the end-user to zoom. I know for a fact that some of my websites have been used by people on their phone. I do have two words of advice: 1) Avoid extensive javascript (if possible, because that is the most likely to be unsupported); and, 2) Trim your input fields. I noticed that both android and iphone users on my website will tend to have a space added to words that are auto-completed(or spell-corrected) from their phone.

If so, use CFWURFL to sniff the the mobile users and then set a request flag to determine if the users get the mobile or normal templates. I also greatly disagree with the advice to create a standalone site for mobile. This destroys your position in search engines for mobile users. It also pushes the mobile users into a ghetto of different functionality. It's better to treat them as you would a different class of desktop browser (you know...IE). My two cents...

PHP is a scripting engine like CF - you will need to have PHP installed if you want to run a .php page - however, you could reverse engineer the PHP method and implement a CF way of doing this.

I should have noted though - I don't know if you're on a hosted (shared) server somewhere, but the easy way to test if you can run PHP on your site is to create a simple test.php, put a small chunk of php code in there and run it from the browser. -Original Message- From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of kristine keigan Sent: Monday, October 10, 2011 1:25 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] redirect to mobile version using a php page. thanks.

That is correct, it will hunt for it. I don't remember the exact order, but it does happen.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Error Handling and CF8
Well, here's a quick tip for you - you mentioned you only searched for
Application.cfm files, you might want to include Application.cfc to that
search. Application.cfc is the newer version of Application.cfm and has many
more events that can be handled at page/application load times. You might have
several of those floating around where you'll want to put in your error
handling.

Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] Error Handling and CF8
Afternoon All!
I’m trying to setup error handling for our production environment to be more
sophisticated then explosion followed by a crash and burn.
With that, I’ve been able to find a wealth of tutorials on how to set templates
and all sorts of other goodies but a majority of them require me to modify the
Application.cfm or Application.cfc.
My server(s) are all running vanilla CF8 and only use the Application.cfm.
However, I’m unable to modify the file, I get a whole bunch of goop (with an
example below) when I attempt to modify the file in just about every editor I
have access to.
Example:
N
P
¶¢**´
Is it encrypted? Am I being thick? Any direction would be greatly appreciated
as always!
Thanks!
Matthew R. Nicholson

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] help with where to start trouble shooting an error
More than likely it is a trigger or something along those lines because that's
a vanilla insert statement below (that could use some help to avoid some sql
injection). Take a look at the folder_ka table to see if there are any
triggers/constraints on the table

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] help with where to start trouble shooting an error
Try this out (if it's sql server 2005 or up)
select * from sys.triggers
where parent_id = (select object_id from sys.objects where name = 'folder_ka'
and type = 'u')
That would tell you if there's any triggers on the table (assuming you have

Yup, that proc has a cursor in it - look at the FETCH statement..
More than likely it's this statement below:

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Noob help
First, as someone else suggested - search your entire code-base for (with quotes) qryGetVisitRecordsthat should bring you back something like: cfquery name=qryGetVisitRecords.or even a cfstoredproc It's possible that someone had a dynamic name, but unlikely...so that'd be your first approach. Then, as far as what CF does with query of queries (your specific example) - it takes two CFQUERIES (note, these are now downloaded recordsets from the db server - they are coldfusion variables now) and it joins them together through the where clause that was in your query. So it tries to match up the queries on your sitecompany_id fields from the two different datasets returned by your db (in previously called cfquery/cfstoredproc tags). What would be very helpful to you would be to do a cfdump on both of the tables that were referenced in the FROM clause. I put tables in quotes because they're really just CFQueries. cfdump var=#qryGetVisitRecords# label=qryGetVisitRecords / cfdump var=#qryGetAssignedMonths# label=qryGetAssignedMonths / cfabort Then, looking at your where clause in the query, you'd want to browse through the dumped records from the above statement and have a look at your sitecompany_id fields in both and that will show you what will have matched up between the two. It's been a while since I've done any query of queries (I try to avoid them when possible - typically we can handle these things in the initial query), but it seems like there were things that would kill record joins such as case sensitivity, spaces at the end of fields on one side and not the other, etc. CF is MUCH more picky than SQL Server when it comes to joining it's tables to each other. Hope that helps.

Also, not sure what debugging tools I have available to me.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] newbie question: storing an array variable into a variable whose data type is not specified
Sorry about the var person - I was going to go into further detail about
creating an array of structs but ripped out everything and forgot to remove
that...in the code below you don't need it.
But, being that your next question sheds more light on what you're trying to
do
I've not done flex in a while but I am almost positive you can bind a flex grid
to a coldfusion query. So, it would make more sense for your function to just
return the query object and then bind that straight to your grid. I'm assuming
you're calling this via a CFC from flex, and there should be many examples of
that out there. Your array of arrays will probably be 100x more tedious than
doing the query to grid binding.
Hope that helps.

Thanks Steve, Jay, Clark and Axunderwood for the prompt responses and useful
suggestions.
1. I have changed the return type of function to struct and other changes in
the function as below according to the suggestions
cffunction name=myfunction access=remote returntype=struct
cfargument name=form_data type=struct
cfset var result = StructNew() /
cfset var person = / !--- Why is this needed? I did not understand this
part. I realize the concept is to initialize variables with blank values before
using them ---
cfset result['dept_name'] = some dept
cfset result['dept_num'] = some dept number
.
...
cfscript
ArrayAppend(peoplearray, #printPeople.empID#);
ArrayAppend(peoplearray, #printPeople.departmentname#);
ArrayAppend(peoplearray, #printPeople.departmentID#);
ArrayAppend(peoplearray, #printPeople.empTitle#);
/cfscript
.cfset result['people_info'] = peoplearray
cfset result['statMsg'] = 'Information successfully
collected.'
cfset result['status'] = true
cfreturn result
/cffunction
Rest of part is same as I posted earlier
2. How would I reference the return values in the caller function which is a
Flex component?
private function myfunction(eventObj:ResultEvent):void{
var people_obj:Object = new Object();
people_obj.dept_name = eventObj.result.dept_name;
people_obj.dept_num = eventObj.result.dept_num;
// would the below code work?
people_obj.peoplearray = eventObj.result.peoplearray
}
// How can I access the department name, department ID and employee ID, title
of the third person whose name is John from the above people_obj // object?
// Or, do I need an arraycollection variable
[Bindable]
private var people_info:ArrayCollection;
people_info = eventObj.result.peoplearray
Then, I could load the arraycollection variable people_info into a DataGrid
element where the elements would be displayed in order?
Can someone please advise?

yep, what you are actually doing is creating a named struct (hash) when you do
this:
cfset result['people_info'] = peoplearray /
changing the return type will give you exactly what you want (unless you want
an array), and if you do then you can create an array of structs...

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] RE: Coldfusion Tabs vs JQuery Tabs
Well, if you take it to that degree, yes that's true. Under the cover CF (8) used EXT 1.0 I believe. The problem with that in my opinion is that it's now two versions old. And yes, all the CF DHTML is in the scripts folder, and yes you can figure out what to do behind the scenes. But, then you also have to figure out how CF is naming all your components, etc. There is much more digging to work with the built in CF DHTML features if you go further than the scope of the wrapped CF functionality. Steve, while what you say is absolutely true, in my experience it's not simply just understanding the Ext library and you're ready to roll. You've got to figure out how CF is generating the scripts so that you can then interact with the elements that it's creating on the page. And that leads me back to my original statement. If you plan on going past the scope of what the built in CF features offer, in my opinion (just my $0.02 again), then it might be worth looking into one of those 3rd party libraries - (I use Ext extensively myself). Two reasons for this - 1. You can get the latest builds of the libraries which have new features, have more bug fixes, etc., and 2. being that you're building the interface, you'll have a much more in-depth view of how things interact and therefore doing anything special will be easier to taylor to your needs. Again, I'm not trying to speak the gospel, I'm just trying to give James my view on the topic.

If you know the various methods for EXT-JS then its every bit as flexible as Spry or jQuery. In fact, the CF tab JavaScript API is somewhat easier to learn since there are a number of high-level functions (i.e. ColdFusion.Layout.createTab(), ColdFusion.Layout.disableTab()) and you can always invoke ColdFusion.Layout.getTabLayout() to get a pointer to the underlying EXT-JS element. Frankly, given EXT-JS high quality and integrated series of UI components, it's definitely worth considering EXT-JS over jQuery for advanced UI (although I would still use jQuery for arbitrary DOM manipulation).

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Examples of How NOT to Code in ColdFusion?
My biggest pet peeve: CFQueries inline in a CF template. I'm not a stickler for complete object oriented or you have to do things exactly a particular way...that being said, I have two reasons why I like to see cfqueries or cfstoredproc calls in a cfc or a cfm template that can be called as a cfmodule: 1. You know where to look for the code - if you do it in a cfc, you can have all your data access calls in one place that is easy to find in various methods 2. If you're writing a query to be used on a page somewhere, chances are, you'll need that same query again somewhere else - this doesn't always stand true, but 9 times out of 10, you use the same general queries for multiple areas on a site. My second biggest pet peeve: Looping over a query just to query x number of times again. This is probably the thing that I see beginners do the most, probably because they just don't understand how to write a query to retrieve all the data at once. For instance, someone might want to see their top 100 customer's orders..a lot of times you'll see someone write a query to retrieve their customers, and then loop over that query and then query to get the orders (so basically 101 queries to the db)...in reality, all they had to do was a query from the customer table left joining the order table in one query, and then looping over the results with a group by. The last one I can think of this early: Using CF as your paging repository for large datasets...this is probably the fault of many a book and message board out there, and probably just having the feature available in CF makes it too easy to pass up for most. But, the ability to query a db, retrieve 100,000 records, and then just using records 10-20 or something like that. I hate seeing that. The amount of network bandwidth being utilized, the memory being wasted, the processing required from cf, etc. It's just a horrible thing to use. I cringe every time I see it...and if I have my hands in it...I change it immediately to do a db implementation to just retrieve the rows needed.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion 7 + SQL Server 2000. 500 Operation failed on the data source named XYZ.
As an FYI - we had a similar issue up here. There was a problem where there were issues such as deadlocks occurring in the database if there was high volume of traffic with large amounts of client data being written to and read from. I would (if you can) run a trace on that database with the client tables in it to see if you're getting any locks that are killing off your threads. For some reason, CF seems to ignore the sql errors that come from the client data read/write. It was a very odd issue that took a long time to find. Another thing to do is to check and see how much old data is in those CDATA/CGLOBAL tables. Putting a db maintenance plan in place that cleans out those tables every couple of days did wonders for getting rid of the problem you describe.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] creating a web service with cf
There's really not a problem with doing what you say - many will say it's bad practice, but a way to avoid getting all the bad practice responses, do something like this. 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.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Looking for a CF Host
Seeing as how it looks like nobody else has responded... Dedicated means it's like owning your very own server, except it's stored at the company's location. You basically have full rights over the box. Cost is much more Shared means, you're sharing the server with a number of other people (could be hundreds), which means you also share the costs. This can be super inexpensive, but you have to be careful - with shared, you get the good with the bad - if someone has written a bad query that tanks the db server you're all attached to, guess what, you get to share in that poor performance...but, it's a tradeoff...do you want to pay $200/month for dedicated hosting with super control (and super responsibility), or do you want to pay $20/month for less control, but usually pretty good service...

First, I'll point out that you can find dozens of alternative CF hosts listed at: ColdFusion Hosting Alternatives http://www.cf411.com/#cfhost This is one of a hundred-plus categories of resources and tools of interest to CFers, and a good place to check whenever you have a question like that. Second, I'll vouch specifically for two hosts (both on that list, though I don't generally offer any such commentary on the list). One is FusionLink, which is run by our own John Mason, who also hosts the ACFUG site and lists. I've heard nothing but good things from those hosted there, and we know that he always is quick with great solutions here as well. More at http://www.fusionlink.com/. Another is the company who hosts my site, Edge Web hosting. You don't mention whether you're interested in shared or dedicated hosting. There's of course quite a difference. I can certainly speak very highly of my experience with a dedicated server at Edge Web. More on them at http://www.edgewebhosting.net/. My site points to still other lists of CF hosters. There's an enormous range of alternatives. The challenge is really finding the right one for you. Most will meet your interest of low cost, though again, that's relative, so you'll need to investigate or be more specific in your expectations.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] CF 7 Pagination - Query rerun making pagination useless
Ajas, if you're using SQL Server 2005 or Oracle, there are much better solutions...the problem with what you showed in the first link is you (the server) is always retrieving ALL rows from the given table and pushing those across the pipe from your SQL server to your web server. There are two things majorly wrong with this - 1. if you're really using paging, you're using only a subset of these rows and throwing the rest out. That means if you have 50,000 records in the table and you're only using 1,000, you're basically wasting your db server's I/O (and possibly CPU if you're doing any special groupings or anything), plus you're eating up bandwidth. 2. You're now forcing the web server to wait to retrieve all of this data, store it up, and then only use a portion of it. A better way (in my opinion) to do this is to use what's available through your db for paging and go with that. If you're using SQL Server 2005 looking into the ROW_NUMBER() OVER functionality. You can retrieve x number of rows at a time which saves I/O on your SQL Server (assuming proper indexing), your Web Server, and your bandwidth...here's a sample of how you'd do it in SQL Server 2005: DECLARE @startRow INT, @endRow INT SELECT @startRow = 11, @endRow = 20 SELECT * FROM( SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY columnA, ColumnB DESC) AS rowNum, columnA, columnB, FROM myTable WHERE 1=1 AND columnA = '...' AND columnB='' )x WHERE x.rowNum BETWEEN @startRow AND @endRow If you're using Oracle (which I have limited experience in) you can use the built in rownum feature to do your paging selects. I'm sure other RDBM's out there have options to accomplish this as well. There are several options out there that can do what you need. The way that was shown in that first link you provided is the old way of doing things that is probably the worst of all worlds. If you have questions, drop me a line.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Cookies/Sessions when opening a new window in tabbed browsers
Well..maybe, maybe not... Just for theoretical sake...you COULD make this work - would it be worth the trouble, that really depends on how many users do what was described below. But, you COULD get creative... Something like this. Let's say that there's a portal page to your application...you could actually force a new cfid and cftoken on that page and ALSO, you'd have to make sure it wasn't a temporary cookie. You'd have to make it a persistent cookie so that it wasn't in the browsers memory (otherwise they'd collide). Then, each tab would basically have it's own cfid/cftoken pair that would be unique to those browser sessions and you could have the user running two different sessions at a time. If you're not familiar with how the cookie is handled for the cf session, you'll definitely want to do some reading on that. Now, I will say with that with this approach, you may run into some weird things that you had not thought about before...but in theory, it's possible.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] looking for opinions on duplicate form submissions
Ok...that is a tougher one One suggestion is this (high level)... if your database table isn't too large and is indexed properly, you might consider having something like this: On the top of your form (or somewhere that will be visible at all times), have a summary box that updates as you enter information into each field. So, for instance, if you have first name, last name, and city on a form, after you exit the first name field (it loses focus), you could run a query behind the scenes to find out how many entries are in the table with a combination of filled out fields. As a user finishes up the form, the summary box may show that their are currently 2 entries that are similar to the one entered on the form and give them the ability to view those other entries before saving the form).

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] will Ajax go away (was JVM version and ColdFusion)
Just a quick .02 from me. Your last statement grabbed my attention... Do you think AJAX is or will be as useful and powerful as CF? I think maybe you're looking at AJAX wrong. AJAX is something that is typically used in conjunction with CF, PHP, ASP.NET, etc. AJAX is there to do a couple of things: 1. Improve the interface/interaction for end users 2. Reduce the amount of network traffic (less reloading of images, etc) 3. Create a more universal interface (use of JSON or XML can be used among many server platforms including CF, PHP, ASP.NET, etc) Chances are, you're still going to be using CF at least as a back end to retrieve, store, validate, etc. You will probably even use it for the front end and intermingle your AJAX with your CF. That is the most common usage of AJAX. If you're scared of it a bit, I would suggest using existing libraries to ease your pain. There are several good ones out there, my favorite being: http://www.jquery.com/ http://prototypejs.org/ So, don't think of AJAX as replacing languages, think about it as accompanying them. And, a thought on the Google interfaces or even other ones...just because you hear that Google has an AJAX interface doesn't mean you can't use ColdFusion to grab the data and parse it just as Javascript does! AJAX is just a method for retrieving data. Think of it as cfhttp in javascript. Anything you can call through AJAX, you can call through a CFHTTP (or even a browser's own url)... Hope that helps a little. Allen -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Forrest C. Gilmore Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 3:03 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] will Ajax go away (was JVM version and ColdFusion) Some interesting benchmark results! Also thanks for noting the security issues, etc. with AJAX and Javascript. I guess my somewhat negative attitude toward AJAX has to do with its Javascript underpinings. It's Javascript that I tend to dislike. I mean, I like being able to write code that runs in the browser and lets you do things like data validation and build smarts into the page, but it is so quirky, case sensitive, and difficult to troubleshoot that it's very time-consuming to use. One good thing is that it's easy to copy and use code developed by others. However, users can easily turn off Javascript in their browsers, and many do so because of the bad things some sites do with it. The thing I love about CFML is that it uses tag-based code that is generally very understandable, encapsulates most of the underlying complexity, and gives very helpful error messages. I've not found any other web page coding language that is as easy to use. Granted, it has it's limitations, but I still prefer to use CFML and CFX code wherever I can. One downside, however, is that some CF functions actually generate Javascript code in the HTML page returned from the server. At least I don't have to worry about the syntax of that JS code! Now, if Google and others want to design services that I can easily invoke in a way that is not prone to error, or at least gives clear error messages, I don't care whether it's AJAX or anything else. Have you found these AJAX APIs easy to implement and error-free? While I'm in no way a professional programmer, over the years I have used Fortran, Dartmouth Basic, MS Basic, Visual Basic, Delphi (Pascal based, originally), and Lotus Notes Script (similar to Javascript and Basic), in addition to CF Script and CFML. My professional career was ending as the C languages and Java were coming to the forefront, so I didn't see the need to get into these technologies. When CF came along, I felt that Jeremy Allaire and Ben Forta were really onto something that would make it possible for amateurs like me to get some useful work done using the web. Do you think AJAX is or will be as useful and powerful as CF? Forrest C.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Session variables
There are SOME situations where they can be a problem..if you have a single sign on type of interface for several applications and users can open new browser windows and *expect* to be able to go directly to another one of their secured apps, the sessions won't exist in the new browser and may cause problems. I'm sure there are workarounds, but I thought I'd throw that out there. The J2EE sessions are browser specific so opening a fresh browser will essentially disassociate the CF session with the new browser window.

My question is how the application works because all a user is doing is saving some settings in the application for example lets say user saves backgroundcolor property to blue, font to arial etc. Now when user views his website page lets say pagetest.cfm, this page gets the property of bgcolor and font from the CMS and displays it to the user. So my assumptions are : 1) The CF CMS page saves the settings or properties in database. 2) on every new page creation from CMS, a new entry is stored in db i.e. index1.cfm, index2.cfm and so on. Then, my question is how does the page code for lets say index2.cfm gets generated? Also, I am not sure how different pages in the website use/get the property bgcolor, font. At runtime, I guess a query gets info and dynamically generates the pages for the website. Can anybody give me a better idea or general overview from scratch of how the application works?

The main code which we use is so mixed with different validation that I cannot explain i.e. some cfforms, some javascript validation, some hidden fields i.e _required validation etc. So I was thinking that next time we have a new client, I should (or my team) add validation to the code we use such that we have all things covered atleast User interface * error description etc those kind of things. I wanted to know how to handle this? can anyone share there experience. What I wanted to achieve was a code reusable approach so that if I need same validation elsewhere I dont have to write it again. Something on the lines of CFC's I would say. This is my own interest and I will do at my own time. No one is bothered or care to have this functionality.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Building my IDE Tool Box
Briefly... The ONLY reason I've ever liked DW is the fact that you can synchronize files between the local machine and a server very easily. Eclipse is supposed to have synchronize plugins but they've never seemed to work (at all). Also, DW is great for design type of work, as Ajas mentions below, but it's a resource hog. If you're low on memory you should probably look elsewhere - that being stated, Eclipse isn't exactly a light-weight either! One last thing - a negative for eclipse...if you're working with files that contain thousands of lines of code (I know, everyone says it shouldn't happen, but it does), just typing in a line of code in the middle of the page can be very annoying...it is SO SLOW...

I like to play with all IDE's there in market and finally stick to ones which I like more. In this case its DW Eclipse. As John Mason mentioned earlier, from coder's point of view no one can beat Eclipse for the simple reason that its meant for a developer who does coding day in day out. Its a very wise option to get familiar with Eclipse because sooner or later some place you join will have developers who only use Eclipse. As for DW is concerned, it is also a great tool for a developer who wants to do design as well write code. Personally, I use both DW Eclipse. I use DW a lot because when I want to edit code, I just select the html element and I get to the point where I want to make the changes instead of searching for it. Thats the biggest plus for me as far as using DW is concerned. On the other side, whenever I have to refactor code or make code changes in CFC's etc, I prefer to stick to Eclipse. Also the Eclipse IDE has some very cool features like 1) You can go to previously viewed file by using cntl + F6 keys. I dont think you could do the same in DW. In DW, cntl + tab takes you through list of files that are open. I hate that. Usually i have lots of files open and I always like to go back forth between 2 open windows/files. Its much easier to do this in Eclipse. 2) The appearance of Eclipse editor looks very good to the eyes when compared to DW's appearance. This remark is based of how code looks in IDE and has nothing to do with fancy stuff. 3) Lot of plugin options. There is another tool which gives TortoiseSVN features in eclipse. I dont want to write it here as we are already discussing that in other thread. Bottom line, I use both. Of late I have been using DW only. But if you want to use Subversion commands in IDE, then Eclipse is by far the best option. Anyone who would like to add or comment on my post is more than welcome.

If you want to test it out though...just copy and paste some code into cfeclipse that makes a file that's 2,500 lines of code and then go and try to add some code in the middle of the page. You could type three lines of code and then watch it come across the screen in Doogie Howser fashion 15-20 seconds later! It's insane.

I like to play with all IDE's there in market and finally stick to ones which I like more. In this case its DW Eclipse. As John Mason mentioned earlier, from coder's point of view no one can beat Eclipse for the simple reason that its meant for a developer who does coding day in day out. Its a very wise option to get familiar with Eclipse because sooner or later some place you join will have developers who only use Eclipse. As for DW is concerned, it is also a great tool for a developer who wants to do design as well write code. Personally, I use both DW Eclipse. I use DW a lot because when I want to edit code, I just select the html element and I get to the point where I want to make the changes instead of searching for it. Thats the biggest plus for me as far as using DW is concerned. On the other side, whenever I have to refactor code or make code changes in CFC's etc, I prefer to stick to Eclipse. Also the Eclipse IDE has some very cool features like 1) You can go to previously viewed file by using cntl + F6 keys. I dont think you could do the same in DW. In DW, cntl + tab takes you through list of files that are open. I hate that. Usually i have lots of files open and I always like to go back forth between 2 open windows/files. Its much easier to do this in Eclipse. 2) The appearance of Eclipse editor looks very good to the eyes when compared to DW's appearance. This remark is based of how code looks in IDE and has nothing to do with fancy stuff. 3) Lot of plugin options. There is another tool which gives TortoiseSVN features in eclipse. I dont want to write it here as we are already discussing that in other thread. Bottom line, I use both. Of late I have been using DW only. But if you want to use Subversion commands in IDE, then Eclipse is by far the best option. Anyone who would like to add or comment on my post is more than welcome. I want to see ppl's opinion when it comes to there favourite editors. Ajas Mohammed.

Examples that do not work (among many):

if (parent.frames.length 0) {
parent.location.href = self.document.location

When someone uses a service such as http://www.anonymousproxyworld..com
http://www.anonymousproxyworld.com / they can strip the javascript but even
when they don't, it does not work. They frame the page and append the meta data

re: [ACFUG Discuss] using a variable to build a variable name
Maybe this can help
someone as well. I find this a very easy way to determine what fields
you're looking for...
First, on the form
page, I'll create hidden fields of the same name so a comma delimited list is
created on the action page:
Display
Page:
input
type="hidden" name="someID" value="#someID#"input type="text"
name="category_#someID#"
input
type="hidden" name="someID" value="#someID#"input type="text"
name="category_#someID#"
input
type="hidden" name="someID" value="#someID#"input type="text"
name="category_#someID#"
So therendered
display might look something like this (I'm just using random numbers
here):
input type="hidden" name="someID"
value="25"input type="text" name="category_25"
input
type="hidden" name="someID" value="101"input type="text"
name="category_101"
input
type="hidden" name="someID" value="345"input type="text"
name="category_345"
Then, on the action
page (the form processing page), I can just check for the existence of the
someID values and loop over them (if you create multiple form fields with values
:
Action
Page:
!--- from the
example above, form.someID = "25,101,345"
---
cfparam
name="form.someID" default=""
cfloop
list="#form.someID#" index="id"
cfset tempVar = form["category_#id#"]
do something ...
/cfloop
Hope that helps
someone out. I've foundthis to be a very efficient and easy way to
determine what's
there...

So you need to process one or more formfields but you don't know the names at
the time of processing? I had a similar requirement and here is how I solved
it:
cfscript
for(FormField in arguments.FormVars) // this will loop through all available
form variables
{
Quantity = structfind(arguments.FormVars, FormField); // set the variable
"quantity" to the value of the form variable
if(left(FormField, 2) EQ "c_" and right(FormField, 14) NEQ "_cfforminteger"
and len(Quantity)) // check if this is one of the form vars I actually want to
process. The formvars with names that end in _cfforminteger are created by
CFFORM and can be ignored
{
ConfigID = mid(FormField, 3, len(FormField)); // where I use "ItemID", you
would use "InvoiceID"
... do something else...
}
}
/cfscript
The "trick" really is to prefix the fields you know you'll be interested in
with something unique, like I did with "c_". Later, you can simply test for
this.
Hope this makes sense.
Mischa.
BTW, I like CFScript, since it's a function, but you can write this is
straight CF as well.
Hey folks,
I was wondering if anyone had a solution to an issue I'm having that is
resulting in some hair loss on my part by means of my hands.
I have a form that has repetitive fields that is built by using a loop.
I append the form field name with a variable to distinguish between the
different form fields: CFINPUT TYPE="TEXT"
NAME="InvAmt#InvoiceQuery.InvId#". This works fine for creating unique names
for my form fields but it creates a problem when it's time to write to the db.
I can't recreate the variable names in my SQL statement for the insert or
update:
UPDATE tablename
SET InvAmt = ??"InvAmt#InvoiceQuery.InvId#"??
WHERE ID=#ID#
Obviously that won't work.
Any ideas on how I can create the variable name for my SQL statement or any
other solutions to my problem?
Thanks,
Jeff

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Issue with return from cfquery
Also, as a follow up - the reason you're having the problem is this - you're doing a set rowcount 1 and cf is holding onto the connection. That means all selects after that point are going to do only one row. If you want to keep the code the way you currently have it, after your ORDER BY id DESC, you would want to put SET ROWCOUNT 0 - that would fix your problem (or should).

RE: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Client? Session?
Just as an aside - you can still store complex structures in client variables but you'll have to wddx them into a string and then store them into the client variable. Also, if you do this and you have your client variables stored in the database, you'll want to make sure your datasource is enabled to retrieve BLOB's without the 64k limit. One other thing, if you're running on MX in JRUN configuration (not standalone), you can share the sessions between servers (if I remember right). J2EE has clustering built in and I believe it supports the equivalent of a session state server.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Sum/CFSET
To answer the first question, you can get rid of the "" problem with: cfset mySum = Val(var1) + Val(var2) + Val(var3) If the var is null or empty, Val() will change it to 0 If you want to accomplish the same via SQL, try: SELECT mySum= ISNULL(col1, 0) + ISNULL(col2, 0) + ISNULL(col3, 0) If you try to add columns together and any of the columns has a null value in it, the result will be a null value...the way I show above will get rid of the nulls and replace with 0's Hope that helps.

I was thinking about using a lot of if statements for each field but this seems wrong and will probably take a performance hit on the page. What do I need to do? TIA image001.jpg - Chris C.

CVS has no easy concept of referring to the contents of the repository as a whole with a version number. That to me is what makes SVN so much better. We use tags in CVS for this. Works fine, but certainly doesn't tie in with the version of a file. This is a interesting concept. This means a file that was created as teh first file in your tree and never edited for 5 years still has the version listed at the max of all file versions, eh? SVN is easier to manage.

A good source control could help out tremendously. You can branch off separate builds...great freeware versions are CVS and Subversion (a spinoff of CVS). I think you will find plenty of information on these with a google. If you put the time into learning how to really incorporate a source control you could do exactly what you're talking about below and at the same time have good rollback points if you ever need to I will say this, I've worked with Subversion and was very impressed - they have tools that integrate into windows and they are pretty slick.

While I am new to development I have reached a point where I realize that we have to modify AbleCommerce (our CF based shopping cart) but that Able continues to revise their product, and create new updated builds. This is going to become a mess as we go our way with their product and they go theirs. What I need to do is manage changes. We have been keeping a log file on changes but they are only as good as the technician that documents it. With this being the case I had a discussion last night at the study group with Teddy, and John that there are many many other options that may be good for me. I will need to compare Older AbleCommerce builds with newer ones so I can see the changes. Also to save as a base line a certain config as a build once updates are done. Then examining the AbleCommerce changes integrate them into our code. Or Vice versa. And this needs to be as simple as possible. So I respectfully open the floor for debate on what is the best FREEWARE product for us to manage these ongoing changes. Note: These changes would be CFM, CSS, WZC (AbleCommerce Wizard) files only for the most part that I can see. It would also be nice however if certain tables in the DB could be saved with a build as well if that would be possible.

Well, I'll just speak up for the other "dinosaurs" who haven't gotten into Eclipse. :-) I just find that various things I'm used to aren't there, and while I suppose they may be there if I poke around enough, the problem is typical of getting any developer to move from one editor to another. Similarly, some of the great advantages that Eclipse/CFEclipse are ones that I just for now don't need.

I loaded the Eclipse with CFEclipse and my only complaint would be that Dreamweaver has an FTP on save where Eclipse/CFEclipse does not.

Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] OT: Query Problem
I have a two part Oracle 9i query with a UNION operator. The query
should return 34 rows. It returns 32. If I remove the first part of
the query, which by itself returns 0 rows, the query correctly returns
34 rows. What's special about these two rows? The price is identical
in each case to the price in another record. So there are two records
with a price of 118.75 and two records with a price of 6.25. All other
prices are unique. Why should this make a difference? If I change the
UNION to a UNION ALL, I get 34 records, which is OK in this case, but
not others. Just plain UNION should work. Any hints are appreciated.

Hello
all,
I've got a
question regarding how to retrieve the value of a client variable without
using evaluate(). Before everyone bombards me with how evil evaluate()
is, let me just say I know!!!
Here's the
situation - need to code that will work in both CF5 and MX (as it is a mixed
environment of servers for the time being).
We spoke to a
macromedia rep and they stated that using evaluate() in MX causes a page
recompile which drastically hinders performance. Is there any way to
reference a client variable that will work for both CF5 and MX without using
evaluate()?
Example:
cfset
variableName = "companyAddress"
CF5
example:
cfoutput#Evaluate("client.#variableName#")#/cfoutput
MX
example:
cfoutput#client[variableName]#/cfoutput
Is there a way
to do it that will work for both without the evaluate?!
Thanks,
Allen
