RE: studio errors

2000-06-08 Thread Jeff Shepler
The problem is studio is super resource hungry. It will eat up anywhere from 20% to 50% of your User/GDI resources. 4.01 would eat from 10% to 35%. I don't know what they added in 4.5(.1) to eat up more, but I was hoping to get it reduced instead of increased. You can see this yourself. Before ru

CF Studio and system resources

2000-05-16 Thread Jeff Shepler
Studio 4.5.1 Before I start Studio, I have ~55% resources free (performance tab of system properties). After I start Studio, I have less than 15%. If I have just a few other apps open, this drops to ~4%. Usually, I can get some work done in here before it starts dying on me. It's getting worse, t

You can do what you did, but in the application.cfm file, scope the variable to make it an session variable. Application variables are not tied to a user, but are application-wide variables. These are like PUBLIC variables in other languages. Session variables are tied to each specific user. Don't

Task switching leaves CF Studio on top

I have fresh install of CF Studio 4.5a. Whenever I task switch using ALT-TAB (using the mouse/task bar works just fine), the studio screen stays on top. Whatever it is I switch to does get the focus, but the studio screen redraws itself on top of it. I've done some light searching in the kb, foru

RE: commas in strings

First thought was to replace all the commas in the string with an uncommon character. For example, if you know that the strings will not be file paths, you can use the backslash. As you build the list: Then later, when you need to output the string, you'll have to convert it back: #Replace(some

If you want it "cleaner", use a persistent structure. At least you won't have a bunch of hidden fields clogging up the FORM structure from page to page, it will execute a little faster as the data is in server memory and not being passed and parsed over and over... On the initial search page, mak

RE: CF and DSN

2000-04-19 Thread Jeff Shepler
It is almost always a security thing. You didn't mention what database the DSN connects to, so I'll assume either Access or MS SQL Server. Not knowing what you tried, I can only suggest the obvious thinking maybe you missed something. I'm assuming that you're using CFADMIN to verify the database

CF Studio 4.5 and Image Maps

2000-04-19 Thread Jeff Shepler
Has anyone successfully used the new image map editor of studio 4.5? I can't get it to work. It keeps telling me that it can't find the file, even though I know it's there. Could it be that we're still using the 4.01 server? Actually, that brings up an important question. What problems can I ex

I don't think it really makes a difference, but if I HAD to choose an answer, I'd say having them on the pages. Clients can't see either one, so why does it make a difference? If you have the account information as part of the datasource, then ANY cf page that wants to connect to the database can

Ok, let's assume that your radio button field is named FOO and your text box is named BAR. Instead of doing a , you will have to do this one "by hand": INSERT INTO someTable (Answer) VALUES ('#iif(FORM.FOO EQ "Other", DE("#FORM.BAR#"), DE("#FORM.FOO#"))#') It might be DE(FORM.FOO) and

Unfortunately, you cannot tell when a client leaves your site. This makes it hard to know when to stop timing. Unless you have them click a logoff button, of course, but you are not guaranteed that they will do so (we all know how users are). Couple of different ways you can try to do this. 1. H

While using single quotes is fine, how it rendered your tag is not fine: Specifically where it tries to append the 0 on the end of the URL. I don't believe this to be valid HTML syntax. While the page will load and the form will work, it will not pass the "ft=0", just "ft=". Strange indeed. To
