CF8/Vagrant
Does anyone have good resources for a working CF8 Vagrant setup? Ive gotten pretty close, with Ubuntu + Tomcat 7 + a CF8 WAR I have. I only have the WAR, and not the original installer, and its of course no longer available for download.

LESS (and SASS/SCSS) are common, widely used CSS preprocessors. Frameworks like Bootstrap come with LESS files.

Re: Coldfusion and Adobe Echosign - any examples?
I don't know of any specific examples, so it looks to be a SOAP web service.
cfscript
echosignWs =
CreateObject('webservice','https://secure.echosign.com/services/EchoSignDocumentService15?wsdl');
docResult=echosignWs.createLibraryDocument(apiKey=myApiKey,libraryDocumentCreationInfo=myDocInfo);
..
/cfscript
You instantiate the service, and then call various methods on the API according
to the docs at
https://secure.echosign.com/public/docs/EchoSignDocumentService15. The most
tedious part is creating the various input arguments, which often come from
other methods.

Probably not 100% scientific, but worth a look: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=ColdFusion%2C+groovy%2C+scala%2C+clojure%2C+node.jsl= Supposedly there's more hirings in CF than node.js, Scala, and Clojure. Groovy only recently took eclipsed CF. Now obviously there's the trend for CF is going down, and the other cool languages are going up. Still, I think a little perspective can be a reality check.

And CF is definitely cheap for enterprise software - and that might actually be a problem in the enterprise, as people in the enterprise often equate cost with value.

Re: question on cfloop
Not sure, but I believe the index at loop completion is incremented - that's
how it knows how to stop. So it's similar to
j=1;
while(j2) {
j++;
}
I've never used the loop index, and I don't think you should depend on it. Not
sure what documented behavior is, but if it isn't documented in a specific way,
it would be totally appropriate for it to go out of scope in a future version
(kinda surprised it doesn't)
Instead, use your own counter var.

Re: Source control in CF
To build on this idea, look at Vagrant. It allows your IT department (or whoever's responsible) to maintain a script that loads a VM, necessary assets, and code. I've written a Vagrant script for Railo: https://github.com/bdcravens/railo-vagrant Here's a Chef recipe Nathan Mische wrote for CF10 (which can be used in a Vagrant setup): https://github.com/nmische/chef-coldfusion10 Vagrant is awesome. Run a script, get a VM. Dev against a local directory on your machine, and check into source code repo as necessary. When you're done, shut the machine off. The shared directories don't go away (so you keep working code), but everything else does, until you need to spin it up again. Currently works against VirtualBox, VMWare coming soon.

The discussion did spiral a bit out of control in a GIT vs SVN tussle, but I understand and can respect that people have strong opinions as to which systems they prefer. I also wholeheartedly agree, that there are certain advantages to be gained by each developer having a working copy of the code on their local machines. I would, however, contest the absoluteness of this as the only way to go. While it is true, that the CF Developer licensing does allow for each developer to run a CF server locally without paying a license fee, the time spent by the IT department setting up and supporting 50+ websites (plus our backend/admin software) on each developer machine does come at a cost. Add in the cost of additional licenses for 3rd party components (like ImageGlue or ISAPI rewrite for example) and the cost of being able to run code locally can add up quite quickly. For us at least, running on a shared codebase with 1 development server and all code available via a webpath (usually mounted as a drive for convenience) works quite well and has done so without major snafus for 10+ years. Is this an oldschool approach? Very much so. Is it a good solution? Maybe not for every company, but it works for us. I understand, that our setup makes running version/source control very difficult and it is a conclusion that I feared I might reach, when I posted the question initially. I think that I may have to go back and have a long, hard think about how we will proceed from here. If any of you, who are running a setup where each developer runs the code locally, I would be very appreciative if you could give me 30 minutes to an hour of your time, so I might pick your brain as to how you have gone about getting this setup and how you maintain it (I think this is probably best done over Skype).

Re: CF10 styling cftooltip?
You can't add a class to the cftooltip tag itself. Personally, I wouldn't use
the CF UI tags. You'll get more control using any of the many tooltip jQuery
plugins out there. That said
You can always add a style inline using the style attribute. I assume there's a
reason you're not doing that.
Use Google Developer Tools to see the actual HTML rendered by CF and JavaScript
(View source only shows you the HTML, not the rendered DOM). By doing this, I
saw (in CF10):
tooltip is in a div with class of yui-tt, so you can do something like the
following:
style
.yui-tt {background:blue;}
/style
Of course, this would be global. Multiple tooltips, each with their own style?
The text you hover over is enclosed in a span, with an id of
cf_tooltip_(somerandomid). The tooltip itself is in a div with the span's id
appended with _cf_tooltip. Wrapping cftooltip with a div makes it easy to
perform specific tasks on that tooltip:
div id=gotcha
cftooltip
autoDismissDelay=5000
hideDelay=250
showDelay=200
tooltip=Hey I am a tooltip generated by CF!
Hover over me please
/cftooltip
/div
Then use jQuery to act on it and set a class: (assuming you've setup .redbg in
your CSS)
script src=http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.min.js;/script
script
$(function() {
$('#gotcha').mouseover(function(){
el = $(this).find('span[id^=cf_tooltip_]');
tooltipId=el.attr('id')+'_cf_tooltip';
$('#'+tooltipId).addClass('redbg');
});
});
/script
Problem: the tooltip div isn't created until it's called the first time, so the
first time, it'll have the default style. May be a way to cancel the mouseover
event the first time, set the class, and then re-fire.

Re: low footprint(disk usage) dev enviroment
If your machine is a Windows machine, should have no problem running IIS, and if it's Win7, should be able to set IIS like they have it. If a Mac, you can run Apache, but personally, I prefer just spinning up Tomcat and running via WARs - easier to stand up and tear down entire CF instances, in my opinion, so the admin isn't' cluttered with settings unrelated to the app I'm interested in at the moment. VMs run fine on 8GB - I'd allocate 1 or 2 GB, and you shouldn't have many problems. Things might run a bit slow, but that's fine while developing. However, VM is really only needed if you have some settings like .htaccess or web.config settings; probably only the case if your setup with CT is a VPS. OS licensing: Good idea to mirror what CT has, but that probably doesn't matter. However if Windows Server is needed, you can download a trial version if that meets your need. If you need a long-term license, an MS TechNet subscription would work (pretty sure for dev purposes doesn't violate the licensing there) for cheap. MS also had a program called WebsiteSpark, where based on your needs and qualifications, they give away licenses of Windows Server, SQL Server, Visual Studio, etc. Billy Cravens bdcrav...@gmail.com On Nov 26, 2011, at 7:33 AM, Matthew Smith wrote: hello. i spent a lot of time posting here way back when, and then did other things, and now i am posting again. good to see you all.

Re: Amazon Product Advertising API
I've integrated into Amazon using some of their AWS services, though not the API you're referencing. I believe they all pretty much work the same: you send Amazon a specifically formatted string, and HMAC encode it. Look at the code inside of the AWS Console project on RIA Forge - I've used that one, and confirm that it works. It's split into a number of CFCs, so it should be pretty easy to pull out only what you need.

Very similar to what you're reporting: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google%20Apps/thread?tid=5f96d0e5cfc60a95hl=en It can be a limit issue - I believe Google's SMTP server reject all connections from that user once you hit limit (500/day or 2000/day for a premium account; I am very certain about the limit, just less so about how the SMTP server responds).

Re: Wordpress password encryption decrypt with ColdFusion
Not really possible - it's not encrypted, it's an MD5 hash. You'll find plenty of links on how to *reset* the password (as the generous Google URL copy-and-paster provided), but that's not what you're asking for. There are ways to crack a password, if you have a large enough MD5 hash database, but that's not a good approach. Your better approach is to convert the Wordpress to use a single sign on solution, such as oAuth. There are a number of WordPress plugins for this.

Didn't think about that - you'd have to specify the algorithm:

When I get a chance, I'll test it against my Wordpress install.

Re: Wordpress password encryption decrypt with ColdFusion
Yeah, I only quickly glanced at the docs (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/CFMLRef/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-7c52.html) - it lists CFMX_COMPAT as the default, but that's the same as MD5.

Re: Distributed servers?
These days I'm all about letting someone else manage my data. That of course carries with it the questions of whether or not you can trust others with it I'm looking at Amazon's RDS. If you set up multiple availability zones, it automatically replicates and fails over. No DNS changes needed. (Plus they handle backups, etc) I know the MySQL version offers this - not sure about the Oracle flavor. (No SQL Server however) I believe SQL Server Azure provides this functionality.

Re: (ot) Need info on attempted acquisition by MS in 1995
In my preliminary conversations with the hosts, that already was mentioned: the idea that CF has a rich history, not so much a nanny-nanny-boo-boo we're older than the language you do :-) I think the interest is that had things gone a little different, a .NET developer would be writing aspquery tags today :) That said, CF was referred to as a blast from the past on a prior show, which led me to contact Carl and Richard - so we'll definitely be focusing on CF in 2011, not history.

Re: (ot) Need info on attempted acquisition by MS in 1995
Thanks Dave. I guess authoritative isn't the correct word, as much as I'm looking for details (who, when, etc). Probably won't be that big a deal, since the focus of the talk is why .NET developers should care about CF, but I like to be prepared, since I'll definitely bring predating ASP. :-) I don't think you're going to find a more authoritative source for the acquisition attempt than Jeremy Allaire and Adam Berrey. The other information is accurate as well, as I remember it. I tried out dbWeb, and it wasn't as good as CF 1.5. Microsoft did acquire Aspect, released DBWeb, then dumped it for ASP 1.0 (I don't know anything about the ASP 1.0 codebase coming from i-Whatever).

CF and .NET (was Re: Macromedia.com)
That is possible. Of course, this is one of those what is .NET questions. Even Microsoft can't give you can answer that isn't confusing. .NET really is many things, though many (including myself) tend to use .NET as a noun to describe something discreet. To me, .NET means the CLR, though there's obviously some flaw in that logic. A true .NET service will simply be a SOAP method/property, which you can actually use now (and other proprietary services like Passport have COM interfaces). Though I wouldn't mind seeing a tag like this: cfdotnet type=method class=system.something.something input=#myCFvariable# output=dotNetResult cfoutput#dotNetResult#/cfoutput Hmm.. that got me thinking ... is the CLR available to CFX tags if the framework is installed on the server?

I would agree, and would hate to see many of those features go away. However, many of the marketing claims I've heard is that you can put the generated class files on any supported J2EE engine and they'll run. In other words, they make it sound as if I can take my class files generated on a Win32 box and move them anywhere I want - even on a machine without CF. I simply cannot see how this is true.

I've never gotten a straight answer as to how they can support things like CFObject yet still be compliant. Sun sued (and won) Microsoft for bastardizing the Java spec. J2EE compliance doesn't mean that you can't implement additional features. Every commercial J2EE server does this - there's stuff in BEA WebLogic that facilitates Tuxedo connectivity, I think. J2EE compliance simply means that all of the stuff within the J2EE specification has been implemented.

Re: CF6 true J2EE Compliance (was Re: Macromedia.com)
So was the RedHat support issue, so that means there's no evidence of MM only providing their products for supported platforms. Even at that, I don't think RedHat compatibility had anything to do with support - you only get support if you pay for it. I assume that the majority of RedHat installs out there aren't paid for. However, you're probably right - or perhaps they received some pressure from some of the J2EE vendors, who knew that CF6 would generate additional J2EE opportunities that they didn't want to lose to Jakarta and the like. Or most likely, they want to push JRun sales - if you can only run Neo on certain J2EE engines, you might as well go with JRun, right? (If memory serves me correct, can't CF6 run by itself? I hope so. Otherwise the cost of CF6 goes way up.) - Original Message - From: Zac Belado [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 2:27 PM Subject: RE: CF6 true J2EE Compliance (was Re: Macromedia.com) Then why is there an Apache module?

Re: CF6 true J2EE Compliance (was Re: Macromedia.com)
If that's the case, so be it. However, I know some of the early stuff I heard (I distinctly remember this coming from Forta early last year at our CFUG meeting) is that it will be truly portable, as with most J2EE implementations. I find this rather disappointing, because other than some performance gains, it doesn't appear that CF will be changing much (so much for sales to those who have already made significant J2EE investments across the enterprise). Though from MM's point of view, it makes perfect sense (ensures licensing). - Original Message - From: Dave Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 2:38 PM Subject: RE: CF6 true J2EE Compliance (was Re: Macromedia.com) In other words, they make it sound as if I can take my class files generated on a Win32 box and move them anywhere I want - even on a machine without CF.

Re: CF6 true J2EE Compliance (was Re: Macromedia.com)
That's the idea - but the reality is that if you sell someone a liscense to your app server, you wouldn't want them to use your app server to develop an app and then distribute it to run on competitor's app servers. So I think the dream of cross-compatible applications is at odds with making a profit. Adding proprietary extensions - even though it's not exactly the same as what MS did, it seems philosophically the same to me. - Original Message - From: Cantrell, Adam [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 3:37 PM Subject: RE: CF6 true J2EE Compliance (was Re: Macromedia.com) You are correct in the eyes of SUN's marketing department. If the term, write once, run anywhere were to hold true, it wouldn't matter whether Joe the J2EE Guy wrote the code, or whether it was autmagically created by a set of NEO templates - it's all java right? And since it's java, technically you should be able to run it in any J2EE compliant environment. Do I have the wrong idea? Is the term, write once, run anywhere, still a valid adjective to associate with Java, or has that become the running joke in the community? I've of course heard the term write once, debug everywhere thrown around, so obviously some people have some issues with Sun's claims - maybe just incompetent programmers? The only reason I'm still afraid of Java is because I still associate it with the Applet hype from the mid 90's. It turned into a huge disappointment, and I feel like Sun simply tried to recoup some of their marketing dollars by turning it into a server-side scripting technology.

Of course, you'll notice that they in the initial public Neo info that they are only supporting a limited set of J2EE engines (interestingly enough, all of them are commercial products - even though there are a number of open-source J2EE products that are fully compliant). I doubt that CF6 will be true J2EE, which is rather unfortunate. I think you're reading too much into this. I suspect that it will, in fact, be portable, and that will a little tweaking, you'll be able to get it running on Tomcat/Jakarta. However, there are enough implementation details, such as how installers work, which strike me as potentially complex. As for their support of commercial platforms first, that makes perfect sense to me - they can take advantage of IBM and BEA for setup support and development issues, rather than doing all the work themselves. I've never gotten a straight answer as to how they can support things like CFObject yet still be compliant. Sun sued (and won) Microsoft for bastardizing the Java spec. J2EE compliance doesn't mean that you can't implement additional features. Every commercial J2EE server does this - there's stuff in BEA WebLogic that facilitates Tuxedo connectivity, I think. J2EE compliance simply means that all of the stuff within the J2EE specification has been implemented. The comparison with Microsoft is flawed - Microsoft was sued by Sun over the fact that they built platform-specific features into the Java language itself - into the VM and compiler. There's nothing to stop a vendor from building functionality into a Java application beyond what Java itself provides - that's the purpose behind native interfaces like JNI.

Re: Slightly OT - CF and Developers Fees
Fair can only be defined by your experience level, the quality of your work, and costs of living. When I was in college, I worked for minimum wage ($5.25 an hour at that point, I believe). That's how it is in college - you work dirt cheap. Typically wages are determined by the higher-ups in the school (Dean level or higher). I seriously doubt they'll be swayed by some mailing list that the public can contribute to. If it weren't for poor college students, would they bring in someone at full price? I doubt it. Also, suck it up and ignore the $$ factor: you're in college, and unless you had significant experience before school, the college job is your best shot at getting experience. You need the experience far more than you need the $$$; consider that unless things improve dramatically, when you graduate, you'll be competing with developers with years of *real-world* experience. Considering the state of the economy, I know many developers who'd be happy to make what you're making - $6/hour beats being unemployed. I would suggest that we all take a look at the CF-Talk guidelines (http://www.houseoffusion.com/hof/lists/faq.htm).

Re: Slightly OT - CF and Developers Fees
I'd agree. It sounds like a decent gig for college (I would have loved this when I was in school, far more than working for a record store or any other typical college job). However, you might want to look to some other resources - economics for a student working for the college are significantly different than a seasoned developer working in the private sector. I think the closest match would be the non-profit market sector. - Original Message - From: Michael T.

Re: OT - User Friendly?
Well, that's not an uncommon scenario. Their idea will probably be for you to design it, with unlimited revisions until they think it's friendly enough (imagine if houses were built like this: the window looks ok there, but can you move it over there? oh, and this is covered by what I originally paid - because the blueprint wasn't precise, it just said make it pretty) This is why I'm a big fan of a multi-tiered project plan: 1) wireframe the app, agree on a set of functions 2) basic design 3) prototype the app, with all UI elements, but no tie-in the database - some rough business logic in place, but not complete 4) complete the business logic and data tier 5) final signoff and implementation Each one is a stage, and is considered a separate contract. They're sequential, so the client must sign off on one before moving to the next. I find this very useful in many ways, particulary in managing client expectations, and for managing costs/timelines. Of course, it doesn't eliminate the problem of scope creep - but allows you to isolate it to make it more manageable (in my experience) Undeniably, the problem with blueprints in web development is that if we came up with a true blueprint, it'd be the final product. As such, we have to work our contracts with some leeway built in (ie, 25 to do this, but an additional 10 hours tacked on for review and revision). Plus, we have to better educate or clients - front end design isn't an exact science, but rather an approximate art, even though clients want a concrete price. - Original Message - From: Mary Fowler [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 1:29 PM Subject: OT - User Friendly?

We are saying we would like to take the term out because it is too vague. They are asking us what the 'industry standard' wording for 'user friendly' is. I say we need more design specifications.

RE: Macromedia's destruction of the Allaire Site...
On one note, I'd say that we should give Macromedia a break. I know that they have had some website and support issues, but they have delivered a solid release of both Server and Studio. Which is all you can really expect, cuz for most of us, that's all we're really paying for. I'm sure if you're not happy with how things are run, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to sell you the division that produces ColdFusion. However, as painful as a migration may be, how the hell do you turn off production servers like that? I'll echo the thoughts about staging servers - if you know what you're doing, once everything's good, you should be able to throw the switch (in theory) with little to no downtime.

RE: Macromedia's destruction of the Allaire Site...
Indeed. The community drives technology: I've never seen MSDN or SourceForge down for long, if at all. Of course, when it was Allaire's community, they didn't exactly provide a quality experience. I can't remember the number of times I'd seen their site down due to some first-year CF error, or it was so slow that I just gave up and wrote the code myself. And there's no need to begin discussing the quality of forums.allaire.com . Of course, I don't necessarily agree with your analogies - the systems you mentioned were core to the operation, not systems in support. I do get your point though. However, if the success of ColdFusion (or any other technology) is driven or dependent upon a single website or resources, then it's time for me to crack open some books and start recommending alternatives to my clients.

You should be able to re-work your query to use the in function (where

Also, you might try building a pseudo grouping into your loop inside the

you only want one email generated per serarch, right?

Re: Good WHOIS
Yep, I'm glad to see the steps taken to fight domain name speculation. Of course, that whole market has gone bust - the Internet economy is in bad shape, so a good domain doesn't guarantee anything, and quality indexes like Google mean you don't need to have a good name to find what you're looking for. - Original Message - From: Jim McAtee [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 10:54 AM Subject: Re: Good WHOIS I use Lewis' nicname cfx as well. Until ICANN requires all registrars to return the exact same information, either using a common format or using XML, what you're going to get back is just a large block of text, filled with names, addresses, disclaimers, etc. There are now dozens of registries, each with its own way of formatting the output. There's actually some benefit to the anarchy, though. It makes it much tougher for people to harvest the WHOIS database. Make sure you point the tag at a whois server that will systematically query the registries to find the information, sometimes called a WHOIS Proxy. I've been using whois.geektools.com for years. They'll limit the number of daily queries that you can do (once again, to prevent abuse), but if you ask them politely they may lift the restriction for the IP address of your server.

Re: SQL ?
Perhaps, but as you stated, you are asking very basic SQL questions. You're
dealing with a classic one-to-many relationship, and I'm not sure that you
understand the concepts of primary and foreign keys. These are fundamentals
of working with any language that communicates with a relational database.
With a subject line of SQL, I assumed that you either had a question about
your query, or your database design. However, if it appears that your
problem has nothing to do with either, and it is simply a matter of parsing
the results of your form submission to build a basic INSERT query.
The answer to your real question (disregarding the subject):
On your final page (where clips are submitted), I'm assuming that you've
passed the title id. Are you passing one, or multiple titles? If passing
just one, make it a hidden form field, and name all clip fields the same.
In ColdFusion, when you have form fields with the same name, it is seen as a
comma-delimited list. So, you loop over the list:
cfloop index=i list=#form.clip#
cfquery
insert into clips (clip_title,title_id)
values ('#i#',#form.title_id#)
/cfquery
/cfloop
Now, if you are submitting multiple titles/clips, I would recommend having
the following form fields:
title_id - this will be a comma delimited list
clip_X - X represents a title id
You will then loop over your list of title id's, and then have a nested loop
where you determine the field name of your clips using Evaluate(), and
insert as before:
cfloop index=i list=#form.title_id#
cfloop index=j list=#evaluate(form.clip_#i#)#
cfquery
insert into clips (clip_title,title_id)
values ('#j#',#i#)
/cfquery
/cfloop
/cfloop
I do understand that looping can be a difficult concept for beginners with
little programming experience to grasp, but give it a try. If this isn't
definitive enough, perhaps you should reconsider the complexity of the
application you are trying to build.

I have my database set up as follows, it is a music DB

I inset a new artist and am taken to a page to insert the album, and
from there to a page to insert the song titles that are associated

clips
associated with the song titles. The problem I am having is their is
only one table row for each title and the same for the clips. The
forms
has 20 form fields on both the titles and clips pages. What I want
to do
is insert them so it comes out like so. Someone suggested to use a
comma
delimeted list of song titles, but that will not work being that I
cannot associate them with the clips. Another said to put all titles
into seperate rows and the same with the clips into the album table,
but
I do not think that is very good DB management. How can I loop

the 20 form fields on each page to have it insert like below. I hope

Re: ASP Equivalents?
Well, a number of those features don't exist in ASP. Things like application.cfm, custom tags, list manipulation functions. You'll need to reproduce some CF functionality, and rethink how you architect your application. It sounds to me like you're coming at this fresh - if so, I'd look at ASP.NET as opposed to ASP 2/3. ASP.NET is far more robust; plus it has the performance advantages that Neo will have. Also, I find the code much cleaner a closer to a tag-based syntax than 2/3. This depends entirely on the hosting situation, however. There's a number of good ASP websites out there; also, I recommend the Wrox series of books. However, there really isn't a CF 2 ASP resource out there. I've begun to start one (www.cfasp.com), but at this point, it only has a message board. I'll attempt to cover your points, as best I can: (ASP 2/3) 1. you can't initialize the same way that you can in application.cfm - however, when the app starts, you can initialize application and session scopes in global.asa - note that there is no client scope in ASP 2. there is no CFModule - if you're wanting to encapsulate functionality, you'll need to write components (most likely in VB) - of course, you can include files just as in CF - note that in ASP, you can't conditionally include files as in CF - you might want to look at server.execute and server.transfer as some other options 3. ADO - it's all over the web, and there's plenty of examples out there - get ready to totally rethink how you query the database (of course, CF does the same things, but abstracts it for you) 4. SSI - !-- #include file=file.asp -- 5. very similar in VBScript - get the VBScript docs at msdn.microsoft.com/scripting 6. no such critter - in VBScript, you don't have to initialize variables - unitialized vars are simply zero-length strings 7. see #6 - everything isDefined() 8. see For/While loops in VBScript docs - also see ADO stuff - keep in mind that ADO recordsets require you to manually iterate over the recordset, as opposed to cfoutput that does it for you 9. you'll have to reproduce these yourself 10. most of the rich array functions aren't present - you can read/write arrays, get the UBound() and LBound(), but that's about it 11. no structs per se - you'll need to look at using the Dictionary object to reproduce most of the CF functionality - it's so much trouble, I usually ignore lists and structs and stick with arrays 12. absolutely: option % if thisID = thatID then %selected% end if % 13. Most of the date functions are there - for the most part, they even have the same name 14. Administrative functions - hahahahaha - it's called IIS - this will be quite a paradigm shift - debugging, there is a script debugger server-side, but this is more like traditional application debugging - if you want to see recordset, url, form, etc info, you'll need to put it in yourself (note that ASP.NET has some serious debugging output options though) 15. index server - this is a whole other beast - I highly recommend some good reading here (note that this is more for files, not for recordsets) Good luck! - Original Message - From: Chris Norloff [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 3:26 PM Subject: ASP Equivalents?

Re: Trouble installing CF Express
Note that the downloadable version of CF5 has a developer's liscense available (connections from one IP address), so that you can explore the full feature-set of CF (CFExpress is feature limited, missing things like CFFile) Of course, this may not be the issue at all. Do ASP pages work in PWS? Just paste this code into a page and name it test.asp: %= Now() % Note that even though PWS may be able to serve up static pages, that doesn't mean that everything is OK. What do the permissions in PWS look like? It's been a while since I ran it, but you need to make sure that permissions are set to either Script or Execute.

Using the application scope, if you have a cart variable/structure called say cart everyone on the site would use the same cart. If you use session or client variables, then each user has their own cart and you don't have the problem of dealing with multiple users using one cart. On a busy site you could quite easily and quickly wind up with timeout/deadlock issues using the application scope. With regards updating the inventory, again personally I would only take items off of the inventory when the user hits the last button on the check out and their order is confirmed at that point.
