Decrypting a string which was encrypted by C# doesn't handle extended ascii
Hi I need to decrypt a string which was originally encrypted in C#. It works fine for normal ascii strings, but not with extended ascii characters, e.g. the ö in Citroën. It returns the unrepresentable character 65533 This is the code that was used for the encryption: http://pastebin.com/gxv6cuYJ And this is what I'm using to decrypt http://pastebin.com/vFqGXr0j Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Porting password hash mechanism from C#
Hi
I need to write a hash mechanism in CF that replaces on in C#: it accepts a
salt, and the password the user enters, and returns a string.
#Something(rOE3gOJuY/8iZCa0iFmjAQ==, Sup3rP4sSwORD)# --

Re: inserting datetime
When you use CreateODBCDate and pass in a string it will first try to convert it to a date using the US format of mm/dd/, and only if that fails will it try the rest-of-the-world format of dd/mm/. The same goes for some of the other CF date functions. So 12/13/2009 and 13/12/2009 will both get converted to 13th Dec 2009. :| IMO, the safest way to deal with dates coming in as strings (e.g. from forms etc) is to convert them to CF dateobjects using CreateDate as soon as you can using something like the following, though the error handling would obviously do something more friendly than just abort. cftry cfset myDateObject = CreateDate(ListGetAt(form.dateString, 3, '/'), ListGetAt(form.date, 2, '/'), ListGetAt(form.date, 1, '/')) cfoutput#myDateObject#/cfoutput cfcatch cfabort showerror=i couldn't make a date out of form.date... /cfcatch /cftry Assuming that the datatype of your dB column is DATETIME, you'll want to do something similar when displaying the date you pull out of the database, this time using DateFormat(yourDate, 'dd/mm/'). (N.B. DateFormat should be used to display a date object in a particular format, and not to try to create a date object from a string in a particular format...) As Peter mentioned, where possible it is preferable to use mmm is any dates you display to the end user as this removes any ambiguity between dd/mm vs. mm/dd: everyone understands Jan 2 2009 and 2 Jan 2009.

Re: would you consider this a bug, CF8
Or you could start with the first, add a month, then take away a day:

than using a string... ---

very simple code. however, its behaving like i dont want it to.
id rather see it increment by a MONTH, not same day next month.

CF8 linux not recognising CF mapping
I'm trying to port from CF7 on windows to CF8 on linux. Everything was going fine, and was working, and then something happened and it went wierd: things which were previously working weren't. The guys configuring the linux box can't remember what they might have done as this happened a while ago. When I try to include a file via a CF mapping, it not only fails to find the file, but it doesn't throw a file not found exception, and just includes the index.cfm again, leading to an infinite loop. Any ideas why it isn't picking up the CF mapping? (The failure to throw an error, and to re-include the index.cfm is also odd, but that appears to happen on my mac CF8 when the CF mapping doesn't exist, so i'm not so concerned about that. I just need to get it to honour the CF mapping) Cheers Bert Here's my mapping, which points to the webroot: /testmapping1 /home/bdawson/trips/trunk/trips2/www_versions/-wvr-en-something-/ The contents of the webroot: [bdaw...@cfusion-tng -wvr-en-something-]$ pwd /home/bdawson/trips/trunk/trips2/www_versions/-wvr-en-something- [bdaw...@cfusion-tng -wvr-en-something-]$ ls -l -rwxrwxrwx 1 bdawson likewise 59 Apr 2 09:53 Application.cfc -rwxrwxrwx 1 bdawson likewise 59 Apr 2 09:53 include.cfm -rwxrwxrwx 1 bdawson likewise 301 Apr 2 10:26 index.cfm Application.cfc and include.cfm both contain the following: brbr cfoutput#getcurrenttemplatepath()#/cfoutput brbr index.cfm has: cfoutput cfparam name=request.counter default=0 cfset request.counter = request.counter + 1 cfif request.counter GT 3 brAborted in #getcurrenttemplatepath()# to prevent infinite loop cfabort /cfif brbr #getcurrenttemplatepath()# br cftry include #request.counter#: cfinclude template=/testmapping1/include.cfm cfcatchcfdump var=#cfcatch.message#/cfcatch /cftry brbr /cfoutput And here's the output i get: /home/bdawson/trips/trunk/trips2/www_versions/-wvr-en-homeaway-/Application.cfc /home/bdawson/trips/trunk/trips2/www_versions/-wvr-en-homeaway-/index.cfm include 1: /home/bdawson/trips/trunk/trips2/www_versions/-wvr-en-homeaway-/index.cfm include 2: /home/bdawson/trips/trunk/trips2/www_versions/-wvr-en-homeaway-/index.cfm include 3: Aborted in /home/bdawson/trips/trunk/trips2/www_versions/-wvr-en-homeaway-/index.cfm to prevent infinite loop It looks like the file is being not found, but in stead of throwing an exception it is including the index.cfm If I change the cfinclude to be cfinclude template= testmapping1/include.cfm then it throws a file not found exception as expected. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:321234 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
('1,1') * 1 = 39448
I tracked down a defect to a piece of code which basically did the
following:
total = form.quantity * form.itemamount
In some cases, form.quantity is commong through as *1,1* which is presumably
due to an HTML issue with duplicate form fields with the same name.
But rather than getting a CF error cos 1,1 isn't a number, it evaluates to
39448!
i.e.
cfoutput'1,1' * 1 = #'1,1' * 1#/cfoutput
produces:
'1,1' * 1 = 39448
I'm not worried about the original problem with the form.quantity coming
though as *1,1* rather than the expected *1* since I can fix that, but i'm
curious as to any reason for this odd result.
It looks like (x,y) * 1 is the same as (y,x) * 1
In other words
cfoutput#'5,23' * 1# = #'23,5' * 1# = 39591/cfoutput
As i say, i'm not worried about fixing the defect, but i'm just curious if
there is an underlying explanation for the apparently wierd behaviour. Or is
it just a bug in the way CF does the conversion?

Re: ('1,1') * 1 = 39448
I should have spotted that: i noticed that the difference between 0,1 and
0,2 and 0,3 were 31, 29 and 31, etc. And also that the sequences jumped when
the numbers went from 12 to 13, and likewise around 30. And also leaps of
365 and 366 between 1,32 and 1,33 and 1,34 etc.
So CF is saying, well, 1,1 isn't a number, but might be a date, then getting
the number of days from 1 jan 1900 (or 30 dec 1988) to 1st Jan 2008 and use
that in the calculation.
Well, at least there is an explanation, but personally i can't see the point
in a feature which interprets 1,1 and 12,13 and 13,12 and 12,53 etc as
dates, and that any code which actively relied on such an abomination (as
oposed to falling victim to this feature) should be taken out and shot.
But looking on the bright side, we shouldn't have anymore customers getting
charged $1,143,992 for something they were expecting to pay $29 for...

Re: Is using a trigger to return the identity OK or Bad?
Mike
I'm on CFMX7 with hf2, in J2EE configuration, JRun 4 updater 5,
win2003, sql server 2000.
I've knockup up a test, and reproduced this on 2 dev servers, test and
staging, though i haven't tried it on live :)

my_text varchar(50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

When using DataDirect 3.3 it works, but when i upgrade to 3.4 JRun CPU
sticks at 50%, and the thread remains busy.
If i delete the trigger then it works on the 3.4 drivers.
I haven't had time to investigate this further than posting this mail...

suggesting
that everything works without any error messages being generated, but JRun
seems to consume more CPU than it should? I would be interested to know if
you are able to find an answer to this problem. I would make sure you have
applied the latest SQL Server and CFMX service packs / hotfixes.
Good luck,

Re: cf7 debugging - solved - maybe
I think there's a bug in CFMX 7: when you delete a log file through CFadmin it locks the file in someway so the CF won't write anything to it. I think you'll need to stop CF and delete the files manually. The workaround is not to delete but use archive. Cheers Bert On 6/5/05, S. Isaac Dealey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That's interesting...

Re: DatePart problem
Use list functions and CreateDate() to convert you string into a date object, then use DatePart() or Month(): myDateObj = CreateDate(ListGetAt(str, 3, '/'), ListGetAt(str, 2, '/'), ListGetAt(str, 1, '/')); foo = DatePart(myDateObj); Lots of CF functions expect a date object, but if you pass them a string then they will helpfully try to process them with unexpected results, as you've found out with DatePart(). DateFormat() is another: this is for converting data objects into strings of the specified format, not the other way round. HTH Bert ps Also, you mention you're storing your dates in the database in format dd/m/. You'd be well advised to start storing dates in columns of datatype date, and use dateFormat() when displaying them to users. On 5/31/05, Mark Henderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I want to extract the month from a date that is in the format dd/m/, so I've tried using DatePart (access is the database format). The problem I have is that, by default, DatePart always seems to presume the entry is in the m/dd/ format and thus, it's setting the month from the day (where possible). An example: from 12/02/2005 (12th February 2005) DatePart will select the 12 as the month. From 25/02/2005, it obviously works correctly, due to a lack of alternatives. Actually, my situation is slightly more complicated in that this is actually used to submit events to a calendar table in the database. Start_date is currently in the above mentioned dd/m/ format and that is the way I wish to keep things (to save confusion for those submitting). So my question - can this be achieved, and if so, how...any ideas? A worst case scenario means I will just have to alter the form thats entered, but this (DatePart) is something I might like to use in the future, so I figured I would ask. All help appreciated.

Re: Sessions Across Domains / SSL
Passing cfid and cftoken in the URL to a separate domain on the same server will allow you to share sessions across domains, but only if the server is set NOT to use J2EE sessions (cfadmin server settings memory variables). If you *are* using J2EE sessions then passing the jsessionid in the URL won't work across domains: i'm not sure what JRun uses to determine that a particular sessionid is not valid for a domain, but you will get assigned a new session. The only way i've found to share a session accross domains is to pass the sessionid to the new domain (either in URL or form), then on the new domain write the cookie manually using cfheader (eg cfheader name=Set-Cookie value=jsessionid=#form.jsessionidFromTheOtherDomain#) (Using cfcookie didn't work cos it urlencodes the $'s...). Once you have written the cookie on the new domain then all subsequent requests on the new domain will use the session attached to that cookie. I don't know if this will work in your case, but its the only way i've found to use J2EE sessions and share them accross more than one domain (eg www.myenglishdomain.com and www.myfrenchdomain.fr) If anyone has a simpler way to do this then i'd like to know...

SES urls, cgi.path_info, cgi.request_uri, CF6 and CF7
Moving from CF6.1 to CF7 on IIS6, and i've noticed that the cgi.path_info variable is reported slightly differently when using SES type URLs. In previous versions of CF, the cgi.path_info always included the, er, path info, whether SES variables were apended or not.: URL: example.com/sumdir/index.cfm?foo=bar CF6 cgi.path_info: /sumdir/index.cfm CF7 cgi.path_info: /sumdir/index.cfm URL: example.com/sumdir/index.cfm/foo/bar CF6 cgi.path_info: /sumdir/index.cfm/foo/bar CF7 cgi.path_info: /foo/bar The SESconverter.cfm from fusium.com still works in CF7 since it tests for the presence of cgi.request_uri, which is present in both CF6 and CF7 on IIS6, and appears the same as the pre-CF7 cgi.path_info. So it looks like i'm going to have to change all references from cgi.path_info to cgi.request_uri. Strange thing about cgi.request_uri is that its not present if you dump the cgi scope, but it is there if you reference it directly, both in IIS6 and apache2. How come its not in cgi structure when dumped, but is there when referenced? Is cgi.request_uri a more standard cgi variable? And is it safe to use?

Cheers Bert ps maybe i'm being dumb or just picky, but there appear to be a lack of a 6.1 to 7 guide, at least i couldn't find one. Normally i just go ahead and install stuff, but this time i wanted to at least skim TFM.

Re: can't get onApplicationStart to fire...
I'm confused now: I'm i right in thinking that onApplicationStart()
should fire automatically when the application starts?
And by application starting i mean the first time a cfapplication
tag with a particular application name is run (assuming server has
just restarted).
If thats correct then i can't get it to work: my onApplicationStart()
never fires.
Or am i supposed to call it manually:
ie
cfapplication name=myApp
cfif NOT IsDefined('application.started')
cfset onApplicationStart()
/cfif

Re: can't get onApplicationStart to fire...
Aha - thats what i was missing. So in order to use the onApplication and onSession methods you need to initialise the application in application.cfc, except instead of using the cfapplication tag you set the the parameters in the This scope. In other words, Application.cfc replaces both Application.cfm and cfapplication (unless you only want to use the onRequest methods) Thanks Bert On Fri, 11 Feb 2005 22:29:51 +0800, James Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does it work if you use Application.cfc to set the app paramaters? http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/1115.htm ~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:194264 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Take a look at the source of the admin index.cfm, ie open the actaul index.cfm from the file system, not the browser.

Re: null null The error occurred on line -1.
We used to be plagued with null null errors, followed by server hanging or restarting every hour during busy periods. We fixed it by setting Max Pooled Statements on the advanced dsn page in cfadmin to zero. MM are still trying to figure out why we were getting this, so i suppose its unlikely to be the same problem.

Re: Calling Templates
Assuming the other template you're calling is a cf one, then CFINCLUDE and/or CFMODULE are almost certainly what you want. I'm not sure what you mean when you say we need portability and CFINCLUDE forces hard coding of file directories. Could you be more specific? If the template you're calling is not a CF one then you might want to look at GetPageContext().include(filename). As for CFHTTP, IMHO this should be used for getting stuff from *other* sites/servers: i've never come across a situation where using CFHTTP to make a request to the same server cannot be done in a more, er, elegant way.

Re: two websites, one Cfusion, sharing sessions
They already *do* share the same application name The problem seems to be with setting the jsession cookie: I go to site-a, get a jsession cookie, then when i follow a link to site-b i need to have the same jsession cookie set for that domain. If i pass the in the URL (?jsessionid=#session.sessionID# or ?#session.urltoken# or URLsessionFormat() ) then the session is shared, but no cookie is set on site-b, and so the session is only available on site-b when the ID is passed in the URL. If i try to manually set a jsessionid cookie on site-b then it is re-set whenever i follow a link without the ID in the URL, as if JRun can recognise that it is not a cookie set by JRun... I currently do the same thing using cfid and cftoken, and it works fine, but i need to move to jsessions and this is proving to be a bit of a stumbling block Bert On Tue, 18 Jan 2005 11:57:44 -, Tim Blair [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is it possible to run 2 websites on a single CF server, and for a user to have the same Jsession on both sites?

Apart from being such a PITA as to not really be an option, i've done a quick test and it looks like this is not going to would with sticky sessions in a cluster - the request with the jsession in the URL gets passed to whichever server is next, rather than the one related to the particular jsessionid.

Re: two websites, one Cfusion, sharing sessions
I tried UrlDecode() , and replace, but using cfcookie or cfset
cookie always seems to escape the $.
Is there a way to manually set the cookie without using javascript or CF?
test
cfcookie name=TEST value=$
cfcookie name=TEST1 value=#URLdecode('%24')#
cfset cookie.TEST2 = $
script
document.cookie=TEST3=$;
document.write(document.cookie);
/script
result:
TEST=%24; TEST1=%24; TEST2=%24; JSESSIONID=d830efc7b820$DCU$3DH; TEST3=$
It would be nice to set the cookie before going to the site, eg by
creating an img tag with the id in the url, but i don't know how
many people have 3rd party cookies turned off. Plus, if i can't use CF
to set the cookie then this is a non-starter..

The first option should work. The second one probably won't, because you
can't just specify a completely different domain when writing a cookie. The
DOMAIN attribute lets you limit the cookie being written to a specific
subdomain within a domain.

Re: GetPageContext vs CFINCLUDE
The way see it, using getpagecontext to pull in an HTML file has the
advantage that it doesn't cause CF to process the included file,
whereas cfinclude will always treat it as if it were cfml, i.e.
compile a class etc. On the other hand, you can cfinclude an HTML file
from anywhere, but getpagecontext has to reference a file under the
web root.
Personally, i use getpagecontext to include dynamically created (and
cached) HTML year-planner type pages. And also to request various
scheduled tasks: rather than having a dozen or so tasks to set up in
cf admin i now hav one which says:
getpagecontext('/schedule/task1.cfm?requesttimeout=120');
sleep(5000);
getpagecontext('/schedule/task2.cfm?requesttimeout=120');
etc.
Bert
ps and i use cfinclude a lot too.

Re: search engine friendly urls
Prior to FB3 there was a customtag called formURL2attributes. Later versions of this tag included the SES conversion stuff, but when FB3 was released the form and URL scope copying was moved to the core files, and the SES stuff to a separate SESconverter.cfm. So, if you want to use SES stuff in FB3+ you'll need to call SESconverter.cfm from your code. In FB3 this will need to happen before you include the core file, but I'm not 100% sure about FB4: calling it before the core file should work, but there might be a more cunning way... As for how to call it, you can either call as a tag or cfinclude it. The main thing you'll need to do is ensure you output the #basehref# at the top of your template. Also, on MX, you'll need to add a servlet mapping as described in issue 52942 on http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/releasenotes/mx/mx61_known_problems.html#generalserver And there's an FAQ on www.fusium.com Cheers Bert On Tue, 11 Jan 2005 08:27:19 +1100, Duncan I Loxton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was just wondering if Fusebox 3 and 4 had this natively, Bert - how do I approach this and use it?

All the same SQL was run in query analyser it ran fast. Removing the cfqueryparam tags also made the query run fast, so i ran sp_updatestats, and everything ran fast again - hurrah!

An exception occurred when instantiating a Com object
I'm getting an error (An exception occurred when instantiating a Com object, The cause of this exception was that: AutomationException: 0x80040154 - Class not registered) when trying to instantiate a COM object, but i only get it on some servers. My laptop works fine, as does the test server and a couple of the live servers. But the dev and a new live server are both giving the error above. (all are running CFMX6.1, with updater. And win2003, except the laptop which is XPpro SP1) a cfm file containing: CreateObject(COM, InternetExplorer.Application): throws the error on some of the servers (as listed above) a .vbs file containing Set o = CreateObject(InternetExplorer.Application) doesn't throw an error on any servers. (if i change the object name then it does throw an error) Any ideas why creating COM objects in CF would work on some servers and not on others?

Re: When to use cachedwithin
Whether or not the RDBMS caches it CF will still have to go to the dB server and get it. If you use cachedwithin (or cachedafter) then it stays in CF's memory, and no trips to the dB are required, so i'd say cache it. And don't forget you could put it in a persistent scope (either application or server in this case) by using cfquery name=application.myquery etc..., and only running the query when you start up the application. There are pluses and minuses for bother cachedwithin/after and persistent scope caching - it depends on the individual case...

function formValue(formName, defaultValue) {
if ( IsDefined(FORM.#ARGUMENTS.formName#) ) {
return HTMLEditFormat(FORM[#ARGUMENTS.formName#]);
} else {
return HTMLEditFormat(ARGUMENTS.defaultValue);
}
}
/cfscript
Error resolving parameter ARGUMENTS.FORMNAME
Is this ok on CF5..?
IsDefined(FORM.#ARGUMENTS.formName#)
What about...
FORM[#ARGUMENTS.formName#]
Thanks, just need someone else to look at it as it seems ok to me.

Re: Looping through lines in a file
Treat it as a list, but with line breaks or carriage returns as delimiter.
I'd convert the whole lot to an array, where each line was an element,
then loop over each element as a list - seems neatest way to do it in
this particular case.
cfscript
myStuff = oneline,qwe
anotherline,wer
andanother,tee;
delim = chr(13)chr(10);
aStuff = ListToArray(myStuff, delim);
for (i=1; i LTE ArrayLen(aStuff); i=i+1) {
for (j=1; j LTE ListLen(aStuff[i]); j=j+1) {
writeoutput(ListGetAt(aStuff[i], j) 'br');
}
writeoutput('hr');
}
/cfscript
Cheers

Re: Top-level variables?
Depending on your application and environment this dump could get pretty huge, specially if you start dumping application, request and server scopes. You might be in danger of information overload. I would have thought you'd just want the user input scopes: form, url, cookie, and probably client and session should give you enough to reproduce most errors.

Re: MX components accessing callerspace?

To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX components don't have access to the caller space so typically one has to do something like: x = CreateObject(component, x); x.caller = caller; so that the component can set variables in the caller space like this: this.caller[whatever] = true; This all works fine from a cutom tag, however x = CreateObject(component, x); x.caller = variables; placed in the main page causes a stack overflow in MX.The reason is that however, the problem with this approach is that /variables/ contains /x/ so the assignment /x.caller = variables/ creates a circular reference. is there a better way to handle this?I need to be able to modify variables on the main page from a component. - e [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
Re: CSV to Query
Not to forget querySim: there's the original tag which you can get from http://www.halhelms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=code.detail or the UDF version from http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=255 Both do pretty much the same thing - take some formatted text and return a recordset. As to which to use, its much of a muchness - I think the UDF is slightly faster until the amount of data being passed in reaches a certain size, after which performance deteriorates faster than the tag, but I haven't looked at either for years, so that would have been testing on CF5 Cheers Bert From: Barney Boisvert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 August 2004 17:14 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CSV to Query Here's a second vote for ostermiller's CSV parser.It's java, so it requires a touch of Java knowlesge, but it's very easy to use, as Marc's demo illustrates, and quite fast. cheers, barneyb On Wed, 25 Aug 2004 10:20:29 -0400, Marc Campeau [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anybody have a UDF for this?

Re: Server Rebuild Questions
1. I've got a feeling that one version of the installer assumed your temp directory was c:\Temp, and install fails if you've moved it to d:\temp or something, so you might want to check that. 2. If the dev server is running then try doing a DTS transfer - open enterprise manager, right click on databases and choose import. Otherwise i'd go for restoring from backups - you might be able to reattach the data files, but its not something i've ever tried. Similar lack of experiance with migrating accounts and stuff-sorry.

Our dev server also is running an instance of SQL server with approximately 15 databases inside.What's the best way to move all of the databases (and, if possible, the SQL settings and logins and security) from one server to the next.I wasn't sure if I could just copy the data files over or if I needed to run backups on each database to get those files.Any tips or tricks would be extremely helpful. 3.

RE: cfqueryparam best practices
But if the query relies on data from the browser then using a persistent scope will be a bit of a drag since you'd have to provide some way to identify the correct recordset depending on the values of the parameters passed - presumably by dynamically naming the query depending on the parameters being passed, and then copying/pointing that to a common name, or am I missing something? An alternative is to cache a query of query: cfparam name=url.id default=1 cfset somethingunique = 'the ID is #url.id#' cftry cfquery name=cachedQuery dbtype=query cachedwithin=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,10)# SELECT * FROM realquery WHERE '#somethingunique#' = '#somethingunique#' /cfquery cfcatch cfquery datasource=#request.dsn# name=realquery SELECT cfqueryparam value=#url.id# cfsqltype=CF_SQL_INTEGER , #now()# /cfquery cfquery name=cachedQuery dbtype=query cachedwithin=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,0)# SELECT * FROM realquery WHERE '#somethingunique#' = '#somethingunique#' /cfquery /cfcatch /cftry cfdump var=#cachedQuery# Cheers Bert From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 31 July 2004 19:26 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: cfqueryparam best practices Caching queries will not work using cfqueryparam.

Re: Problem with SQL Server and CF5
It works on one machine running the same version of CF, or is one on CF5 and one CFMX? If i were you i'd create a template with just the cfdirectory, cfquery QofQ, and a cfdump and take it from there, twaeking bits till you get to the root cause. eg : Replace the cfdirectory with a dummy hand made recordset using queryNew() etc - does the QofQ still break? Try SELECT *... in the QofQ? Does the error go away if you replace the QofQ with a dummy made query (using QueryNew(), QueryAddRow() etc)?

RE: Trusted cache and updated templates
One way which might assist automating this would be to use the RunTimeService of the CF serviceFactory: 1. Use cfdirectory to get list of updated templates. 2. factory.runtimeservice.SetTrustedCache(false); 3. loop though updated templates, including each one inside a cftry/catch to ignore errors 4. factory.runtimeservice.SetTrustedCache(true); I just tested this and seems to work OK.

RE: CFForm, CFInput, etc not xhtml compatible!
I think the simplest, quickest and dirtiest solution would be to write a tag which you wrap round all calls to CFFORM, then use the tag to parse thistag.generatedcontent, lowercasing this, and end tagging that - should be fairly simple to write... Global search and replace cfform with cf_yourTagcfform And /cfform with /cfform/cf_yourTag So, now you have a quick frix if you need to be xmtml in a hurry (i.e. if/when the directive comes down), and if you have time you can look into qForms, or hang around waiting for Blackstone. Cheers Bert From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 July 2004 15:27 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFForm, CFInput, etc not xhtml compatible! I was just trying to make some of my pages xhtml 1.0 transitional compatible and when I tested through the W3C testing page I noticed that cfform and the others capitalize the tags and don't self close them. Anyone else notice this? I would hate to have to recode all of my pages when the directive comes down to be xhtml compatible (I know it's coming just don't know when). Yes, this is a known issue with the current version of CFMX. However, based on what has been demonstrated about Blackstone at user groups, I strongly suspect this will be resolved (and then some) in the upcoming version of CF. Beyond that, though, I'd recommend that you use something like qForms, or build your own form validation mechanism, rather than using CFFORM. While it's very easy to use CFFORM, it's a bit harder to customize it to your liking. I strongly recommend you look at qForms.

Re: SQL query style (WAS: SQL search query)
Except that a persistent scope doesn't automatically handle the cachedafter/within type stuff, and if the recordset depends on url.id for example then you'll have to incorporate that fact into how/where you store the persistent variable. One way to use queryparam AND cachedwithin/after would be to use a Query of Query with catch/try: If the QofQ is cached then everything is fine. If there is no cache (ie either doesn't exist or doesn't match the cachedwithin/after attribute) then the error is cfcaught, dB is hit, and this recordset is cached in the QofQ. cftry cfquery name=myQ dbtype=query cachedwithin=...SELECT * FROM myQ WHERE '#hash(url.id)# = '#hash(url.id)#/cfquery cfcatch cfquery name=myQ datasource=#request.dsn# SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE ID = cfqueryparam value=#url.id# cfsqltype=CF_SQL_INTEGER /cfquery cfquery name=myQ dbtype=query cachedwithin=...SELECT * FROM myQ WHERE '#hash(url.id)#' = '#hash(url.id)#/cfquery /cfcatch /cftry I've sucessfully used this technique to cache results from verity, to allow paging through large recordsets without hitting verity again, and recordsets returned from CFDIRECTORY, and I don't see why it wouldn't work for normal SQL statements. In practice though, for the above example, I would just validate #url.id# up to the gills to make sure it was an integer, then run the query without cfqueryparam.
