Re: after a long hiatus back to talk about frameworks

But my approach to frameworks has been to 'wait and see'. Because I don't like 
wasting my time. I need to do something on a daily basis other wise it wont 
stick.

I delayed learning any Framework and then just learned fusebox at a 
job/contract. 

I was going to ask, which frameworks are the most popular in terms of actual 
employment statistics but even then, it might all be a waste of time if my next 
contract doesn't use ( framework x,y, or z ). So I think I'll continue 
conserving my energy and just focus on CF. Maybe checkout FW/1 for my own 
projects from what a few here have said about it. didn't find the documention 
all that great though.

I am still seeing a lot of legacy apps using fusebox, in perm jobs and
contracts, so no harm in knowing it.

Re: after a long hiatus back to talk about frameworks

2012-05-09 Thread Raymond Camden

Frameworks exist because they help solve problems - typically problems
that are common and many people have experienced in the past. These
problems are not going to go away. Yes, a particular framework X may
go away, but learning it will not be a waste of time as you will gain
the experience of how it can help you solve those problems. Personally
I think you are making a mistake if you just ignore them.

To be clear, I'm not saying every project needs a framework. Heck no.
You want to ensure you actually have problems before you go trying to
solve them. ;)

But focusing on 'which framework is more popular' and 'which framework
may go away' seems a bit silly.

As it stands - the big boys in our world have been around for years:
Model-Glue, Mach II, ColdBox. Even FW/1 is a bit old now. I don't
think you have to worry about them going away anytime soon.

I don't think so. The reason being is that I don't like wasting my time because 
if I don't use a thing everyday it doesn't get imprinted. For example - I've 
gotten semi proficient in java several times only to have the knowledge 
dissapear on account of lack of use.

Popularity would also be a good indicator of job prospect, which is a good 
indicator of how much money I can potentially make. Remember this ( for me ) 
about expending the least amount of energy for maximum results.

I think much of it  overshadows and diminishes what CFML's biggest
advantage has always been, which is simplicity to use and ease to learn,
CFML is itself a RAD Framework for JAVA don;t forget.
If a newbie comes along here they are invariably told to use OOP, use MVC,
use a framework, use cfscript and all the other most complex parts of CF,
which rather defeats the point of using CFML doesn't it.
The average newbie to CF really only needs to learn a handful of tags and
functions to do what he needs on a basic site, even CFC's are not required.
The  frameworks, OOP and MVC topic really belongs in the realm of advanced
developers who need this stuff and enterprise apps, the newbie and dabbler
really shouldn't need to feel pressured into learning this stuff if they
don;t need it.

FarCry CMS question

2012-05-09 Thread fun and learning

I hope someone with knowledge of farcry CMS sees this question

I am new to farcry and looking at some existing code. I have a
question on friendly URL. At what time of the application do the
actual URL gets parsed to friendly URL.

Suppose I have a href link as

a href=www.example.com?objectid=123askjhdakjshdkasjhdGo to new
page/a

When I click the above link, the new page URL is a friendly URL. I
checked in onApplicationStart, but the URL is constructed even before
that. Can you let me know at what time is the URL parsed, and which
function does it? Is it fixURL function in utils.cfc?

Check out the farcry developers group:
http://groups.google.com/group/farcry-dev?pli=1

The URL's are parsed to friendly when the page/nav is created.  In the
admin there's a way to reprocess all friendly URLs but the exact location
depends on your version of farcry.

You have to be running either apache's re-write mod or ISAPI Rewrite for
IIS to get this to work.  Everything friendly should filter through the
go.cfm file in your root.  Look in farcry's wiki, there are rules for how
to set up the parsing of friendly urls for apache and ISAPI.

Hope that gets you going in the right direction.

Re: FarCry CMS question

2012-05-09 Thread Jake Churchill

I think the table is farFU.  I know there's a CFC with that name so it
should have been scaffolded or whatever by default.

Each object can have multiple friendly URLs (see the SEO tab for pretty
much anything in the Site tab in the admin).

It's been a while since I messed with this stuff.  There used to be a
fu.cfc but I don't think that's there anymore and go.cfm might be
deprecated as well.

In looking at the documentation, it looks like as of version 5, it uses
furl instead of path in the URL which looks to be parsed in the core
Application.cfc around line 581 for me which makes use of the parseURL
method in farFU.cfc.

Hope that helps.

Re: after a long hiatus back to talk about frameworks

2012-05-09 Thread Judah McAuley

As an example of this, learning MVC and DI in Coldbox made it much
easier to dive into .Net MVC when I was working in a .Net/C# shop.
There were certainly some differences in how things were done in each
framework (Coldbox was better than .Net MVC in pretty much every way,
though .Net MVC got much better in later versions) but the concepts
were mostly the same. I understood models, controllers, views, helper
functions, dependency injection, etc and it became a matter of picking
up the particulars of the new framework and the differences in
underlying language (CF vs C#).  Definitely helpful to me as a
developer.

Re: FarCry CMS question

Yes you are right. go.cfm is using URL.path where as farcry 6 is using furl
variable. I am using farcry 6. I have read through the docs, and its not
mentioned clearly anywhere about the friendlyURL. Can you tell me if my
understanding is correct below:

1) User requests a page with url like
www.example.com?objectid=2129873akjlsdlasjdl

2) Farcry checks if the friendly url variable is turned on, and then parses
the above URL to a friendly URL

3) Once the friendlyURL is constructed, the page redirects to friendlyURL?

Thanks.

 much anything in the Site tab in the admin).

 It's been a while since I messed with this stuff.  There used to be a
 fu.cfc but I don't think that's there anymore and go.cfm might be
 deprecated as well.

 In looking at the documentation, it looks like as of version 5, it uses
 furl instead of path in the URL which looks to be parsed in the core
 Application.cfc around line 581 for me which makes use of the parseURL
 method in farFU.cfc.

 Hope that helps.

  Jake, Thanks for answering. I already posted in the facry google groups 4
  hours back, and the moderators still did not approve my question, so
  thought I'd take a chance here
 
  I already set the apache mod_Rewrite conditions. My question was more
 when
  the objectid is parsed to friendly URL. The friendly url converts the
  objectid into its respective marketing name. I want to check the query it
  is using to get the marketing name. I am guessing a query like below:
 
  select * from table1 where objectid = '#URL.objectid#'
 
 
  Check out the farcry developers group:
  http://groups.google.com/group/farcry-dev?pli=1
  
  The URL's are parsed to friendly when the page/nav is created.  In the
  admin there's a way to reprocess all friendly URLs but the exact
 location
  depends on your version of farcry.
  
  You have to be running either apache's re-write mod or ISAPI Rewrite for
  IIS to get this to work.  Everything friendly should filter through the
  go.cfm file in your root.  Look in farcry's wiki, there are rules for
 how
  to set up the parsing of friendly urls for apache and ISAPI.
  
  Hope that gets you going in the right direction.

Re: after a long hiatus back to talk about frameworks

2012-05-09 Thread Nathan Strutz



 I was going to ask, which frameworks are the most popular in terms of
 actual employment statistics but even then, it might all be a waste of time
 if my next contract doesn't use ( framework x,y, or z ).


Maybe what you are looking for isn't going to be solved by a framework, but
by a better methodology. By far, the most popular way to write web
applications these days, an improvement over the old Fusebox days, and
certainly enabled (and sometimes forced) by all the frameworks, is MVC.

The Model-View-Controller pattern is pretty ideal for web applications, and
is one of the best tools we developers have these days. You can do it
without a framework, it's not hard (
www.dopefly.com/techblog/entry.cfm?entry=307 and
www.dopefly.com/techblog/entry.cfm?entry=308), and it's much more important
than marrying yourself to any specific framework.

 wont stick.

 I delayed learning any Framework and then just learned fusebox at a
 job/contract.

Yes thanks Nathan, this has been an excellent addition. I would much rather 
stick to my own style while integrating a MVC approach... I'm not big on 
abstraction and would rather keep it as simple as possible.

Hi Nathan, many thanks for your links. I really like how you've broken the 
whole MVC down into the most basic bite sized chunks your approach was very 
straight forward and easily digestible. IE - you wrote how I think. Well done 
and thanks again.
