I've been using Gearhost for the past 6 or 7 years and they've been great.
$20-ish I believe.

So I know it's been discussed before, so a link to the relevant past article
will suffice... But I am in need of moving my webpages to a new server and
was wondering where I can find some cheap ($20 or
under) web hosting that will allow me to host 3 or more websites with
Coldfusion (and Fusebox).

Anyone have any ideas?

SOT: JavaScript MVC with Ember.js

[andy matthews]

Today Devnet released an article that I wrote on a JavaScript MVC framework
called Ember.js.
 
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/html5.html
 
If you're familiar with Backbone, Spine, or Angular, then you might be
interested in this article.
 
Hope you like it.

RE: date and time from two different inputs query a single datetime field

[andy matthews]

Give the fields the same name.

In most languages that results in a commadelimited value which you could
then strip out.

You could also just concatenate them together in your queryparam:

cfqueryparam value=#trim(form.xdate_use)##trim(form.xtime)#
cfsqltype=CF_SQL_DATE /

Given the values used as examples for the fields above, exactly how would I
go about querying a datetime stamp field (SQL Server) to find all records
dates on or after the date/time above?

No problem doing it with just the date:

   responsedate = cfqueryparam value=#trim(form.xdate)# 
cfsqltype=CF_SQL_DATE /


  but for the life of me, I can't figure how to put both fields together to
do date AND time...

I'm probably an idiot..

We found the problem.  It was choking on CYMK images.  We're now rejecting
CYMK images and it's working. 

We're allowing the user to upload multiple images at once (maybe even 50),
then resizing as needed using CFIMAGE. Works fine when you put in a reject
for CYMK images. CFIMAGE does convert the CYMK to RGB, but that apparently
requires significant processing resources.

Apologies for the OT - looking for little off list advice please.

I'm looking for about 100GB of web space to store a lot of old documents
associated with a hobby I have. My regular host only provides 1GB of course
and then charges the earth beyond that.

I looked to the web and found a few but also found a few negative stories
about these types of web hosting packages and reasons why they can provide
lots of space at a cheap price. I only need it to serve up documents so my
needs aren't too over the top - its mainly space I need.

Preferring Australian based I found this
(http://www.crazydomains.com.au/web-hosting/) but I'm not precious about
where it is.

Has anyone had any experience with these types of hosting packages and their
providers or can make any recommendations.

Please contact me off list.

Thank you

RE: FusionReactor - Development server

[andy matthews]

Looks like you might have been dreaming:

http://www.fusion-reactor.com/fr/faq.cfm#licencing1

Each physical or virtual server requires one FusionReactor license - all of
the instances which are installed on that server are covered by the one
FusionReactor license. So, if you have (say) 6 physical boxes, then you need
6 licenses. Note, that on a single box you may have multiple instances
(ColdFusion, JRun, Tomcat, JBoss) installed on it, but you still only need 1
license for that (virtual or physical) server. Virtual Machines (VM's) are
also classed as separate physical servers and therefore require a license.

I figured if anyone knew the answer to this (outside of FR Support), it
would be someone on this list©

I may have dreamed this because I can't find it again but I thought I read
that if you bought a FusionReactor enterprise license, you were also allowed
to install a second copy on a development server at no extra cost.

Does anyone know whether or not that is true?

RE: Clean URL's

Dominic had the best answer then.

Using mod_rewrite for Apache or ISAPI_REWRITE for IIS is your best bet.
Depending on your site you could hardcode existing links, or come up with a

But that result is search engine friendly, if that is what you're after.

Hi, all...

I'm trying to parse and output some XML using jQuery so that I get an output
similar to this:

Air Conditioners
XC21
XC22
XC23

Furnaces
XF30
XF31
XF32

I'm using the .each function of jQuery to loop over the Categories XML (on
one file), then again on the Products XML (on a separate file.

The problem is, I can get the Air Conditioners category to output, but then
the entire list of AC models (XC21, etc) outputs as one item instead of
individually.

Here's the jQuery... anyone spot my flow in logic?

Hi Andrew, I am using ColdFusion9 and have downloaded json (serialize and
deserialize) from cflibs. Although this may sound naive, can you tell me
where to include both files, also how to cfoutput it via json to my
datastore  as I am a newbie...

RE: Is CFMAIL reliable??

Brook...

Haven't used CFMail heavily for a year or so, but I've always found it
fairly reliable. Occasionally you have to check the undelivr folder, but
then I wrote a service to do that for me:

Hi Guys (and girls),

 

You may notice a trend in my postings! Moving away from infusion (long over
due) and looking at Native CF functions instead. So now I am looking at
CFMAIL and in the past know it has been a bit dodgy. There is a conversation
here about restarting the spooling service:

 

http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/msg342750.html

 

And Ben Nadel talks about monitoring the undeliverable folder and how the
spooler just occasionally stops working. 

http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1893-Monitoring-The-ColdFusion-Mail-Server-With
-GMail-And-A-Scheduled-Task.htm

 

The comments attest to this being an issue for a lot of people. So I guess
the question is, has this been resolved or is it necessary  to implement all
of these hacks to keep CFMAIL running well?

 

Brook

You don't need root access to MySQL at all. Just create a new API user that

proc. Then, under the hood, the proc runs as Admin to do the various tasks.

need to have root access into MySQL as it needs to have the ability to

is it wrong from a security point of view to have a cf data source that

Hi there Jeff

I think this depends. Who are you writing the API for? I.e is this
something you are going to use then let other people use it via RiaForge?
Or Are you just developing it to be open source from the get go?

I am inclined to have one big file as then it's simple to use as you
instantiate it and check out the methods. On the other hand, you might
want to return sub objects from your methods (such as arrays of people
etc) 


With regards to Question 2, I simpler methods that are more descriptive
would help, such as:

getPerson(id)
getPeople(Since [optional])
getPeopleByTitle(title)
getPeopleByTag(tag)
getPeopleByCompany(companyid)
getPeopleBySearch(searchterm)
getPeopleByCriteria(criteriaStruct)
createPerson()
savePerson()
deletePerson()



I hope that helps.

Although it seems like a no brainer to go with #1, I figured it might
be easier for CF developers to integrate into their projects if there
was just a single file to include, rather then a big library.
Advanced users could just strip out what they didn't want/need.

The 2nd question is about function encapsulation.  On the people
object, http://developer.37signals.com/highrise/people, there seem to
be 7 different variations of GET person that could all be combined
into a single getPerson() function that had (at least) 7 different
arguments.  It seems like we could shrink the codebase a lot more this
way. 

Any suggestions for file  function organization?

whether we need standard or enterprise license... 

Would appreciate any links that details the difference

RE: jQuery and Session Timeout

[andy matthews]

The jQuery team did a complete rewrite of the ajax() method in 1.5. That's
probably where your issue is coming from.

http://blog.jquery.com/2011/01/31/jquery-15-released/

-snip-
AJAX REWRITE
Perhaps the largest change is that a call to jQuery.ajax (or jQuery.get,
jQuery.post, etc.) now returns a jqXHR object that provides consistency to
the XMLHttpRequest object across platforms (and allows you to perform
previously-impossible tasks like aborting JSONP requests).

Subject: jQuery and Session Timeout


Hello all (sorry if this is posted twice...)

I've been using the technique detailed in a blog post by Ray Camden
(http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2010/9/8/Example-of-handling-sessio
n-time-outs-in-an-Ajax-application)
to detect a session timeout during an ajax request and take
appropriate action.  This has been serving me well, but now that I'm
starting to have some problems with it I'm realizing how little I
actually know about how it works.

Let's start with the first issue.  I've been using this technique with
jQuery 1.4.2.  Since upgrading to version 1.5.1 I cannot seem to get
the statusText of the XMLHTTPRequest response to be anything other
than error, regardless of whether there was an actual error or
whether the session timed out.  If I load jQuery 1.4.2 and run the
page, the response statusText is SessionTimeout (once the session is
actually timed out, of course).  However, if I load jQuery 1.5.1 on
that page, the response statusText is always error (again, once the
session is timed out - everything works perfectly until then).  And
since my code is looking for the statusText = SessionTimeout to
handle an expired session, the user is not notified that their session
is expired.

Relevent CF code here - http://pastebin.com/xPFaX4fx

jQuery code here - http://pastebin.com/CAJDve0k

As you can see in the js code, I'm dumping the XMLHTTPRequest object
to the console so I can see the contents.  I've noticed the contents
vary by more than just the statusText from 1.4.2 to 1.5.1.  Is this
just the nature of the beast with jQuery 1.5.1, and I have to find
another way to handle expired sessions when making ajax requests?

BTW - I'm running CF8.  There is also an issue that is discussed in
the comments of that blog post and detailed in a subsequent post by
Ray regarding the status of Robust Exception Information in the CF
administrator.  That brings up another issue for me that I can address
later, but for now I have that enabled.

Thanks for any help.

RE: cf jquery mobile

[andy matthews]

jQuery is built in part on jQuery UI. This should mean that jQuery UI
plugins work within jQuery Mobile.

http://www.erichynds.com/examples/jquery-related-selects/

Try that one. It came up in a search for jQuery UI related select.

Honestly though, related selects are easy to code with jQuery. You'd
probably be better off just writing your own.

Point taken, I was simply trying to convert a  page over to mobile.

I'm trying to use JQM and JQ now but finding it difficult to use jquery
plugins on the mobile device.  Ex:  I'm trying to do a simple related select
dropdowns and tried a couple of plugins, it works on my pc browser, but when
I try on the blackberry or iphone it doesn't work.  What I'm confused about
is all of the samples that I'm seeing both jquery-1.5.1.min.js and
jquery.mobile-1.0a3.min.js are being included.  Does this mean that
functions from jquery library will work on mobile devices?  Or do I need to
find specific plugins for jquery mobile?  If so, am I screwed because I
can't find any for a related select specific to mobile devices??

I would also _strongly_ urge you not to mix CF's built in JS stuff
with any other JS framework. You can do it - but most of the time it
leads to trouble. If you are experienced enough to be working with
JQM, you probably do not need the built-in CF client side form
validation. Use a good jQuery plugin for that instead.

You didn't say what it is you're trying to accomplish, nor did you post

try is simplifying your code. Try replacing 3 lines with one:

// old lines
var getAttributes = row_id.split(_);
var setCommonAttr = getAttributes[1] + _ + getAttributes[2] + _ +
getAttributes[3] + _ + getAttributes[4];
var new_row_id = document.getElementById(new_row_ +
setCommonAttr).value;});

// new line
new_row_id = $('#' + row_id.replace(/^row/,'new_row') );

RE: (ot) Creating Smartphone Graphics

[andy matthews]

I've spent the last 3 or 4 weeks creating assets for iPhone (with Retina
display) and Android. Here's how I approach it.

1) Don't create your original files in Photoshop if at all possible. Use
Illustrator or a similar vector too. Fireworks would be acceptable if you
don't have Illustrator.

2) Create the files at the appropriate pixel dimension, 480x800, at the
correct dpi, then copy them into Photoshop as a smart object (this keeps it
vector, and therefore resizeable).

3) Working with the iPhone3GS- and iPhone 4 is tough, keeping all those
different sizes in mind, but working with Android would be a pain in the
a$$.

Subject: (ot) Creating Smartphone Graphics


Sorry for the OT, but I have searched everywhere
trying to find a definitive answer that actually
works in practice.

I'm getting into mobile development and one of my first
goals has been to figure out how to create site graphics.

I use Photoshop, and I'm asking, What's the best way
to set up my blank files to work on?  72ppi with the
appropriate pixel dimensions? (I have a Samsung Fascinate,
so the screen size is 480x800 pixels, 233 ppi)

Most of what I've read states it doesn't matter what ppi
your work in.  That doesn't hold up in practice, however.

Here's a test case:

http://www.wsm-dev.com/wsmDev/mobileDevelopment/graphicsTesting/index.cfm

You can see from the display the various ppi's that I used
for the graphics.  The only one that looks like what I'm
trying to create on the smart phone screen is the bottom
graphic of the word Hurricane.

That was created on a canvas size of 2.5 inches x 4.18 inches,
the size of the Fascinate Screen (according to reviews), with

Since the Fascinate's ppi actually works out to 233 ppi, I thought
the top graphic would be the most accurate in the display.  But
even it was too small.

These graphics are not given a size in the HTML.

I upped the ppi to 300 for the bottom example and it turns out to
be the most accurate!

I just don't get this.  I've worked with graphics for over a decade,
for the web and print, but trying to figure out smartphone screens
is beyond my comprehension to this point.

I'd like to set up my blank file in Photoshop at whatever screen
size is appropriate (in this case 480x800) and create graphics on that
at whatever ppi gives the correct size and quality.

But so far, nothing makes sense.

Would someone who has experience with creating graphics for smartphone
screens *please* explain to me what is going on with this

Sorry for the OT, but I have searched everywhere
trying to find a definitive answer that actually
works in practice.

I'm getting into mobile development and one of my first
goals has been to figure out how to create site graphics.

I use Photoshop, and I'm asking, What's the best way
to set up my blank files to work on?  72ppi with the
appropriate pixel dimensions? (I have a Samsung Fascinate,
so the screen size is 480x800 pixels, 233 ppi)

Most of what I've read states it doesn't matter what ppi
your work in.  That doesn't hold up in practice, however.

Here's a test case:

http://www.wsm-dev.com/wsmDev/mobileDevelopment/graphicsTesting/index.cfm

You can see from the display the various ppi's that I used
for the graphics.  The only one that looks like what I'm
trying to create on the smart phone screen is the bottom
graphic of the word Hurricane.

That was created on a canvas size of 2.5 inches x 4.18 inches,
the size of the Fascinate Screen (according to reviews), with
a screen resolution of *300 ppi* !!!

Since the Fascinate's ppi actually works out to 233 ppi, I thought
the top graphic would be the most accurate in the display.  But
even it was too small.

Doh! Yes, exactly what I'm doing. Here's the weird thing though -
works fine in CF9. Perfect. In CF8 it simply escapes all the quotes in
the JSON string itself. Strange behavior? Or just an incompatibility?

I honestly didn't understand that returnformat=json was actually
serializing the json. I thought it was killing the wddx formatting.

Thanks for the education!

 If so - you are double serializing the JSON.

 Okay, finally figured this out: To make this work in CF8 (w/ chf4

 Searched and searched for this on the web to no avail - hopefully this
 will save someone else some time.

 Was reworking a function today to use serializejson instead of
 building the json myself. Love this functionality. Unfortunately, I've
 run into a snag when I pushed this over to a CF8 box where it must
 run. The double-quotes on elements in the JSON returned are escaped
 when run from the CF8 box, but are not escaped (the desired format)
 when run from CF9.

 I checked hotfixes, and updated the CF8 box to chf4, which includes
 the functionality for returnformat=json.

 CF9 Format:

 {COLUMNS:[CREATE_DT,ID,CMS_ID,NAME],DATA:[[December, 30

RE: REGEX hell

[andy matthews]

For future reference you should avoid using * where possible as it can
easily lead to overmatching. Even using + would be better although both +
and * alone are greedy matches. An even better solution would be to use a
lazy match like so:

\)\s+?\)

The ? following the + tells the regex engine to match as little as possible.

RE: fckEditor and Coldfusion tags

[andy matthews]

ColdFusion has a function called Evaluate. One way to run this code would be
to pass the contents of your dbField into the function. The problem is that
if it contained anything OTHER than CF code it would probably die.

Another option might be for the user to input their code, then you save it
out as a cf file on the file system and save a reference to it's path. Then
you could execute the file anytime you wanted, but still save changes to it.

If this actually happened, I suspect that the product would be
divested or discontinued. But I really doubt that this will happen.
The only thing that Adobe has that MS doesn't is the design tools
market. There isn't much history of MS buying established competitors
to their own products. And speaking of established competitors, during
the existence of CF, Microsoft has gone through at least four
different competing products: they had a couple of things before ASP
(IDC and HTX I think), then there was ASP, then ASP.NET.

I'm using MySQL 5.

I want to compare table1 to table2 and get any
records in table1 that don't exist in table2.

I have tried everything I could think of and that
I could find on the 'net.

Nothing's working.

I've tried

- select where not in (subselect)
- select where not exists (subselect)
- from dual
- left join where null
- blah, blah, blah (this one really performed badly)

How can I write this to make it work?

select   p.mls_number
from properties p
where  p.mls = 'hmls'
and  p.mls_number not in (select pc.mls_number from properties_copy pc
where pc.mls = 'hmls')

Any kind suggestions for a weary soul?

Thanks,

Rick

RE: Fake URLS

[Andy Matthews]

What you're looking for is generally called SES or search engine
safe/friendly URLs.

The incoming SES URL has to have something that can be used to look up the
real URL behind the scenes. So if you wanted to use ipod_touch_32_gb,
then that would have to be the product name. You could also add the item
number and use that.

http://www.domain.com/ipod_touch_32_gb
Becomes
http://www.domain.com/ipod_touch_32_gb/123456789

Has anyone implemented URLs like this before?  If so, how?  Are there any

I'm a Flex developer with just enough CF skills to be dangerous :-) and need
some guidance here.
My website allows users to access specific pages via a unique id/parameter
such as this:
http://www.scribblar.com/rooms/index.cfm?r=k3ns5

What's involved in terms of CF code to shorten this to
http://www.scribblar.com/rooms/k3ns5
or even better still
http://www.scribblar.com/k3ns5

I'm unsure as to how to achieve this. In case it makes a difference I am
using a Windows box with IIS7.

Subject: CF9 Solr Search issue


I've run into a frustrating issue while trying to use Solr search in CF9.
I'm not sure if the Verity has the same problem, but basically the problem
is that I have 3 different queries I want to index into a single collection
and if I purge the collection first, it is refusing to index all three. The
records come from fairly difference sources, so not easy to combine, I'm
using categories to mark the record type so my search interface allows the
user to select the scope they want to search in. The code basically looks
like this:

cfindex collection=#variables.collection# action=purge

 Code to Retrieve the 3 different document types to index 

!--- add documents to collection ---
cfindex collection=#variables.collection# action=update body=doc_text
category=doc_type_code custom1=id key=key query=local.qryDocs1 /
cfindex collection=#variables.collection# action=update body=doc_text
category=doc_type_code custom1=id key=key query=local.qryDocs2 /
cfindex collection=#variables.collection# action=update
body=doc_text1,doc_text2,doc_text3 category=doc_type_code custom1=id
key=key query=local.qryDocs3 /

Depending on the order that I run the cfindex tags, I only get one or two of
the queries being indexed, never all three. If however, I *don't* run a
purge first, they always get indexed properly. 

The keys in each of these queries is unique from all the others, so I know
that's not the problem. It's not a major problem that I don't run a purge,
since these records pretty much never change (at least in terms of being
removedI generally only have new ones, or changes to existing ones) but
just not thrilled at having to leave it out, when it *should* work with it
in there.

Any ideas? Anyone seen anything similar?

RE: Is there an anchor in a URL String

[Andy Matthews]

I think it's because the # doesn't do anything server side.

You can definitely get it with Javascript. It works like so:

Assuming this link:
/test.cfm#anchor

This code:
script type=text/javascript
!--
alert(location.hash);
//--
/script

Outputs this:
#anchor

You could then pass that off to CF via AJAX if you needed to.

RE: Moving to Apache

[Andy Matthews]

Not trying to start an argument, but you can't much easier than adding a
vhost block to the httpd.conf file in Apache.

IIS on the other hand has loads of nested windows and boxes and permissions.
Apache lets you do it all in one spot.

do you have some particular reason to switch to Apache?
Windows is much easier to use and administer, especially if you are not used
to Apache/Linux.
Unless there is a specific feature of Apache you need which IIS doesn't have
then you may be just creating more work and complications for yourself.

  1. Can this be done without screwing things up?

 Yes, if done carefully. If this is on the same box, you obviously 
 won't be able to have both Apache and IIS listening to port 80, so 
 there will be a little bit of downtime.

  2. Do I have to re-install CF and point to Apache?

 You don't have to reinstall CF. You will simply need to run the JRun 
 web server configuration tool to disconnect CF from IIS and connect it 
 to Apache. If you have multiple virtual hosts, you'll probably end up 
 doing some manual configuration with Apache, as the web server 
 configuration tool doesn't handle that too well - you might want to 
 test setting this up in another environment first.

  3. Should I set-up a VM?

 That shouldn't be necessary for this.

 Apache lets you do it all in one spot.

IIS lets you do it all in one spot also. You don't have to use the IIS
management console unless you like the pointing and the clicking. IIS also
has an API to let you automate this stuff if you want, and comes with a
bunch of sample scripts you can use to do it.

RE: CFParam vs. IsDefined

[Andy Matthews]

One reason to use IsDefined over StructKeyExists is when you don't know if
one of the child structures exists.

For example, in our control app, we assign permissions to our users like so:

SESSION.p -- struct, always exists
SESSION.p.nav -- struct, exists if the user has at least one perm in this
set 
SESSION.p.nav.SOMEPERMISSION !-- bool, only exists if this user has this
perm

So you can see that if we wanted to check if someone had SOMEPERMISSION we'd
have to do some dancing around to use StructKeyExists. Instead we just say
IsDefined('SESSION.p.nav.SOMEPERMISSION') and we're done.

Admittedly we could probably do this more efficiently by having all perms as
keys inside a perms struct, but cest la vie.

defo better to make sure they are defined.
Also using isDefined() is also bad as this search every single scope for
your variable and is thus quite slow and can potentially cause timeouts.
Much better to use StructKeyExists() and only test the scope your variable
is in.

I can go to the image on the server by putting in the path directly, so it

You're not being a jerk. Those are all good points. I doubt anyone's going
to care to mess with it. Even if they do, the most that will happen is that
one site's usability stats get inflated.

Which can also be done via CFHTTP as well. ;) Not trying to be a jerk here -
but the fact is, there is no (afaik) 100% way to say that a URL is ajax
only.

 Right. I know that. Good point though.

 I suppose I could get our JS guy to also pass in a session id. Then I 
 could compare that with the actual session ID for the user and go from
there.

 Sorry - what? Oh - are you asking if I would know to use that vector?
 If I run your site and see a request made via XHR to foo.cfm, and then 
 I try to run it myself in another tab and get blocked, then yes, I 
 would consider that. And I'm a Script Kiddy Hacker so I assume the 
 real guys would try it too.

 Shoot - I almost always try the URLs I see in Firebug/Chrome Dev 
 tools. I'm not trying to be malicious of course. Just poking around.

Preventing use of remote method by other sites

[Andy Matthews]

I have a method that I'm exposing remotely. We'll be using AJAX calls to insert 
usability stats about a new application. I'm working through the code when I 
realize that since it's remote access, anyone from any site could post to it 
and skew our results.

I'm wondering what's the best way to prevent access to this URL from any other 
site, or code. My first thought was to compare the current URL, dev1 for 
example, to the URL the request was made from, or perhaps the IP address. But 
I'm not sure how to get that information.

Anyone have ideas?

RE: Preventing use of remote method by other sites

[Andy Matthews]

Oooh. That's a good idea. Since we're using it for AJAX, then make it so
that it can ONLY be used as AJAX, which would prevent other sites from using
it because of the cross site scripting.

Great idea Tony, thanks!

I use a cfc that checks to see if the method being called is from within the
domain, is indeed ajax and that the method is indeed is accessed remotely,
otherwise abort the request. If you are doing cross site requests, pass a
unique key in your form.

Is it ajax?

cffunction name=isAjax access=private returntype=boolean
output=false
!---
all of the user management requests are going to come via ajax
within the domain.
if a request is not from this site and not ajax, abort the request
run this check on any of the remote methods
---
cfscript
requestHeaders = getHTTPRequestData().headers;
if(not StructKeyExists(requestHeaders, X-Requested-With)){
 return false;
}
else if(StructFind(requestHeaders,X-Requested-With) neq
XMLHttpRequest){
return false;
}
else{
return true;
}
/cfscript
/cffunction


Called on init:

cfparam name=url.method default=
cfscript
accessRemote = false;
cfcname = getmetadata(this);
for(i=1;i lte arrayLen(cfcname.FUNCTIONS);i++){
fname = cfcname.FUNCTIONS[i];
if(fname.name eq url.method  fname.access eq remote){
accessRemote = true;
break;
}
}
if(not isAjax() and not accessRemote){
abort();//this is a simple cfabort function for MX
}
/cfscript
