Re: Handling invalid recipient in mailing list
You probably know already, but I'll say it just in case ... you can rarely have a 100% clean list. I have found that even after you just clean up a list, your next mailing will have rejects in it. Even if it's only a few minutes since you last cleaned it up. Your error handling needs to be able to differentiate between temporary problems (e.g. mailbox full) and permanent problems (e.g. that user not known here) . Your block of ip addresses can be blocked if someone in the same data centre gets flagged as a spammer. And that can be only transient too, so next time you try to bulk email some of the ones that were rejected as sender address blocked are not rejected now. Then there are the ones that are rejected because their mailbox is full. It might be full because it's an inactive email address (i.e. permanent) , or simply that they have been on vacation and havent picked up email for a while (i.e. temporary). Or they might be in arrears with the credit department at their email hosting service, which will be cleared again once they pay their bill. I usually flag bouncing email addresses but still include them in the next couple of emails. If they bounce 3 times I consider them to be dead and remove them from the list. -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion 9 Enterprise, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:360356 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: How to get emails unblacklisted by Cisco Senderbase
G'day Ricardo, thanks for your help.The actual error message is: [quote] Failed Recipient: mghawkra...@iinet.net.auemail address Reason: Remote host said: 554 icp-osb-irony-in9.iinet.net.au Your access to this mail system from 199.115.219.138 has been rejected due to the sending MTA's poor reputation. If you believe that this failure is in error, please contact the intended recipient via alternate means. [/quote] According to iiNet's support guys, that means Cisco's Senderbase (the service they use to identify spammers) has blacklisted my ip address.I need to find out what has made them blacklist us and what I can do about it to get our reputation cleaned up. I know no one has spammed, because I know all these sites intimately - I built them all and manage them. There are a few newsletters sent out, but they are all opt in. In fact two of them can't just be added because you buy something - you have to specifically request them on a form on the site.

Re: Sending SMS
That's great but what about sending to different carriers? I'm guessing you have to know what carrier the customer you're sending a sms is on right? No. Its your carrier not theirs. Just like you dont need to know what carrier someone is using to call them. Best is to use an aggregator if you're sending any volume of messages. The cheapest today wont necessarily be the cheapest tomorrow. I used a UK aggregator, and believe it or not it was faster from my US server than using an Australian or US service. But only marginally. Didn't make much difference in reality. We set up races between mobile phones and the xml packet based aggregator and several other combinations and the UK Aggregator beat all the other ways by a second or two seconds, even when it was routing the messages through a South African carrier to an Australian carrier to another Australian carrier to my phone. The full mobile phone number will find the device no matter where in the world it is, no matter what carrier they're connected to. But as far as ColdFusion is concerned, you'll either be making up an email containing the message and sending it using CFMail or using an XML packet and sending that by cfhttp. Depends on how your service is set up.Rest assured it wont be the most difficult ColdFusion task you've ever done.

Re: Non-profit donation providers
I have dealt with Paypal in the past in a position similar to Al's.They are totally impenetrable when it comes to discussing anything.There is no way to get in contact with any human about anything. All you ever get is a form letter related to the first word the automated support system recognises in your request. There is no one to phone, no person you can email, no office you can visit. Their attitude related to any kind of customer complaint about software or virtual goods (such as rights or licences or domain names etc) where no physical goods are shipped is to reverse the transaction and that's it. No appeal, no discussion, take it up with the customer. So you are very vulnerable to fraud if you are supplying anything where no physical goods are shipped. A donation is definitely in that category. I wouldn't touch Paypal with someone else's 40 foot barge pole - by their attitude they actively encourage fraud.

Re: Adobe is just a spammer now
Jenny, thank you for your contribution. I hate to disagree with you, but since I knew the flash installer was going to try to force McAfee on me as it did last time (and really made a mess of my Norton - I had to reinstall that too as a result), I was looking for the checkbox or button so I could decline to install it. . And it didnt appear. I had no choice to not install McAfee. I think there are different versions of the installer, or it offers the choice in some circumstances and not in others.But i DID NOT have the choice to decline installing McAfee.

Re: Avoiding a boat load of queries inserting multiple records - Better Way?
You do know that Microsoft changed the insert syntax as from SQLServer 2008
dont you?now you can insert multiple records in one go like this:
INSERT into Tablename (field1, field2, field3, field4 ) Values
( value1, value2, value3, value4 ... ;
value1, value2, value3, value4 ;
value1, value2, value3, value4
)
IF you uave one of those fields as an index field (some databases call them
autonumber fields) you dont have to know what the current index value of
record 1 is when you insert record 2 .Or (i havent tried this buti
reckon it ought to work) if say field1 was your index field, you could
user the value Ident_Current('Tablename ') as the value of field1 in the
subsequent records.

[A] FTP doesnt work, and no one has yet offered me any way to make it work. [B] Code insight apparently doesnt work if you use ColdSpring to instantiate the CFCs [C] You can't use the view in browser function - apparently it's been removed from ColdFusion Builder 3.(Unless someone can tell me where to find it). I can't see the point in paying all that cash for something that doesnt even do what UltraEdit can do.

Ok that's good news, Dean.

(Sometimes I think there's a malicious supreme being looking over me saying nah ah. you can't do that ) So when i create a new CFC, I have to enter it into the ColdSpring.XML so Coldspring can find it and also into the CFC Mappings in CFBuilder, as you described. Right?

Enter the dotted path from the website root to the CFC (I keep mine in model directory so I would enter model.userDAO) 5. Click Ok to save and exit the properties dialog. After you do this, whenever you create a variable named usersDAO, CFB will present code insight for any methods found in usersDAO CFC.

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration
Thank you for persevering with me, Andrew. I'm glad it's not just me being dense. This is still very confusing. I suppose once I've set up a couple of projects it might be understandable. I'd hope so - i have 39 to set up!! Dean, thanks for the reassurance that code insight actually does work. I can make code insight work as far as the application.beanfactory.getbean() part - Typing 'application.' will result in getting the insight into the coldspring CFCs. but when i type the bean name, and want the methods inside my CFC, it doesnt work. So I suspect the reason for that is that I havent got the server set up properly in the project.Therefore I'm putting this aside for now and I'll come back to it once I've worked out the server settings I'm not sure this is a public beta. Adobe doesnt say so on the web site. I never use beta software - ever since those awful consequences of using the WIndows95 beta all those years ago. I'd have noticed if the Adobe website said the word beta I feel sure. i'm putting aside the FTP and code insight things for the moment and I'll come back to that. It's quite likely the problems I'm having there are because I havent set up the project's 50,000 settings correctly. (ok slight exaggeration - its only 35,498 settings ) .I doubt they're goign to work properly if i havent got the folder settings right in the project setup. So here's my structure: I have a coldfusion jrun installation, set to all the default locations. So it's at c:\jrun4 I have apache web server running, with a document root at D:\Sites\webroot\htdocs All my site files are on my d: drive for example i have the following structure for one of my sites: D:\Sites\MySites\atalkingdog.com.2006 D:\Sites\MySites\atalkingdog.com.2006\local-logs (apache's logs ) D:\Sites\MySites\atalkingdog.com.2006\Resources(for working files and notes and bits of images etc) D:\Sites\MySites\atalkingdog.com.2006\site\web(the root of the site). The project still isnt set up properly in CFBuilder, because the 'run as' function gives the error: selected file is not in the root of the server This happens even after I set up a linked folder to the document root. So I guess the problem is that I havent set up the server correctly.Can someone help me with this please? or point me towards a tutorial or a blog entry that covers this aspect? Sadly the majority of the resources I've found just skip over the tricky bits I'm not understanding. Like for example what is the context root of the server? No one ever explains the term context root as distinct from 'server root' and 'web root' and 'document root'. And in any case, I set up my coldfusion server a year ago on a very stressful day for other reasons. I can't remember what I typed in as the context root at the time.How do i find out now?

Thanks Dave.

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration
So far this has cost me about 8 hours of billable time to setup, and its only required because Adobe decided to take ColdFusion out of Dreamweaver, the tool I've been using for years and years. It's proving a BLOODY EXPENSIVE tool. A little bit of progress at last. I have to say this term root is causing me a lot of confusion - document root, server root, context root web root.which is which in any location in the server set up. There are so many possibilities at any point its very confusing. At last I have a setup that will give me 'run as' that opens my default browser and displays the page. For the record, even though I have a jrun setup, i found it will display in a browser if i dont have J2EE settings in the server setup.I still havent found a way to have it show the page in CFBuilder - it opens a new window in the default browser. No way yet found to open the file in any other browser. Perhaps when i get to the part about live update and mobile devices etc it will come clear. But debug doesnt work. It gives me an error message: Next to work on making the FTP work. (That took me about 5 minutes to get to work when I was learning Dreamweaver). But I'm sticking with it for now, and I'm still prepared to be convinced that ColdFusion Builder is a worthwhile IDE. But the product has a way to go to convince me yet.

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration
I've had enough of this damned ColdFusion Builder 3 for now. It's just too bloody frustrating. Maybe I might come back to it, maybe not. The FTP/Synchronise thing is just barely something you would expect a beginner programmer to produce.Trying to make it work is groping in the dark because the help is not related to this product. Instructions on setting up FTP begins : 1. Right-click the project in the Navigator view. 2. Click Synchronize Create New Synchronize Connection. But there's no Synchonize option to choose from. So it's a loser right there.The only thing i can find about uploading files to the remote server is Export... but there's no help file for that. Therefore what information goes where is just a guess. But dont get anything wrong, because you can't change anything. There's no way to edit your ftp settings.And what's worse once you've set up a ftp spec for a site, you can't edit it or set up another one with that same address. Too bad if you have to change your password for any reason.And you can't delete an existing one and set it up again if you got your guess wrong the first time. In Dreamweaver, to upload a modified file to the site takes 2 clicks. Select the file, then click the up arrow. It automatically creates folders on the remote server if the folder doesnt exist and just puts the modified file in there. In ColdFusion Builder - it's a bloody complicated process. Every time you try to export a file, it downloads the whole file directory from the remote site. If there are hundreds of files on that site, you have to wait while it downloads all the file names, dates, etc. It doesnt remember the last one - upload a file, make a single little change, wait while it downloads the directory of the remote site all over again, then take a few seconds to upload your revised file.In one case, it takes 5 minutes to upload a 15kb file because of all that fussing about. I made an error the first time I set up export specs (probably forgot a trailing '/' or something) and now I can't fix it, can't delete it and do it again, can't synchonise at all. That site is no longer able to be uploaded from ColdFusion Builder 3. I'm trying really hard, because I honestly want to be open minded about it. But I'm not becoming a fan of ColdFusion Builder 3 yet. On Fri, May 2, 2014 at 4:48 AM, Andrew Scott andr...@andyscott.id.auwrote: Feel your pain Mike, but perseverance can fix that at times. The root, is what I stated earlier, when I said I usually just set it to the root for ColdFusion and that is the wwwroot in ColdFusion itself and not inetpub or your projects. Yes I agree this area is not well documented nor blogged, because people just don't use the line debugger and its power. I guess you can lead a horse to water but you cant make them drink it.

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration
Thanks Brian, I think you might be right. After all the 'mine's bigger than yours' and 'you should be using a REAL IDE' pi$$ing contests over the years between Eclipse users and Dreamweaver users, I figured since Adobe are ashamed of ColdFusion and dont want Dreamweaver users to be able to use it, I might as well see if the CF Builder approach was a better one. So far it's cost me over $1000 in lost time and I'm nowhere near to doing with it what I used to do in Dreamweaver. Sadly I can't go back to Dreamweaver, because the last update to the CC version broke it and the CS6 versions so that when you use .cfm or .cfc files it can take as long as 5 minutes to switch between two open files. I dont know what it's doing in the background. Maybe spellchecking War and Peace or something. So I have to persevere. But I'm NOT a happy camper!! I think they should have waited a bit longer to release the new version until someone had actually used it in the wild. Didn't they do any beta testing?

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration
Thanks Andrew. I bow to your experience and wisdom. I was just going on the words of Adobe where they have videos telling about the synchronisation and the ftp settings etc in the app.There's my stupidity. I should know better than to believe anything those buggers say. They have fallen short so many times I dont know why I keep getting sucked in by them. Jeez on an area where I do have considerable experience and expertise, their major accounts sales effort is not even up to the standard of basic learner beginner sales rep standard. And that's a long way ahead of their marketing. So why I thought their IDE would be of a higher standard when they've just gone and broken their main development tool (Dreamweaver) i dont know. More fool me. Thanks for tolerating me and not calling me a fool. I'll do that all by myself.

CF Builder 3 frustrates!!!
I have taken the advice of several members of this list and installed ColdFusion Builder 3. For the last hour I have been frustrated, trying to upload a single file to my production server. It's quite likely I'm coming at this from the wrong angle (i'm a CFBuilder novice after all) but from what I can see, CFBuilder will only upload any files if it has uploaded them all. Apparently, you have to either upload the entire project, or a file that has been uploaded previously by CFBuilder but changed since it last uploaded the project. If it didnt upload the project last time (because it's on the production server already) you can't upload anything. Or have it missed something? I even tried deleting everything off the production server, so CFBuilder could upload them all and then be happy. But it didnt like that either. It says the local folder is already mapped to something else and wont upload anything. And not only that, when I try to cancel the ftp upload, it asks if i want CFBuilder to remember and wont accept anything but 'yes'. In other words, you'd better get all the details right first time or you're screwed. Are there any help files that are more than utter basic kindergarten files yet? OR tutorials?The only tutorials I've found are either for previous versions, or are telling me how to install everything. I dont need that. I need to know how to use this damned application, since Adobe are now preventing me using Dreamweaver for CF applications.

More CFBuilder 3 frustration
Does anyone actually use CF Builder for multiple projects? Everything I've seen so far seems to assume I'm working for a company with one web site. There's nothing I've found so far showing how to set it up for multiple web sites. I thought I'd done it right, but apparently not, because I can't preview any pages. I've seen a video on the Adobe web site about using CF Builder for Dreamweaver users.The guy just clicks a tab at the bottom of the screen called Safari and sees the page run right in the window.I can't find that tab or any menu item or link where I can do the same thing. So after messing about with this damn thing for 4 hours now, I've got nowhere.Can't preview a page. Can't upload anything to the server. It's just an expensive text editor so far. I can't use code insight either because unless I've missed something, it doesnt insight into CFCs instantiated with Coldspring.

I call those in my pages with something like: usersDAO = application.beanfactory.getbean(usersDAO) but when I do, there is no sign of any kind of hinting or introspection or code insight.It just stares at me. I put the period after the string above, hoping that i'd see a drop down list of the available methods as it does in the video, but no such luck.

Re: More CFBuilder 3 frustration
Actually I only have ColdFusion set up on my desktop machine (at least as far as this issue is concerned anyway) . It's a high end standalone PC. I dont have multiple ips and server instances.I just set it up as localhost/port 80 / c:\jrun4 No? I dont recall entering any ip addresses but the ip address of this box on my local network is 10.1.1.9 and that went in somewhere -I think ColdFusion Builder must have picked that up by itself.Not sure what happens if i reboot my router and get a new ip for that machine. I'm not sure why I'd have multiple servers, unless i have different versions of CF or maybe Railo as well on the box.Is there any other reason to have multiple servers? Does anyone know if it's possible to have the page run inside CF Builder? Or can i stop looking because it's been removed from version 2 to version 3?

Anyway lets start with a few basics. 1) Server setup. When setting up a server in CFB you need to do this for each and every IP and Port. In here you tell it where your website files are located and where CF is located, as well as other things. That part is important for what your looking for. 2) Project Setup It sounds like you have the basics of the project setup. But you need to tell the project which server your using, which is done by RMB on the project and going to properies, which from here you can go into the settings and select which server the project is to use. Also in the project settings in the above step, you also can tell it any mappings you need the IDE to know about, so in the example of custom mappings they can also be added at the above step. Hopefully that can get you going some more, if not ping me.

Re: CF9 java applet error. any solutions?
If i go to that url, Dave, I get a messages asking if i want to open or save cfapplets.jar, so I guess that url is exposed. I'm running the browser on my dev machine over the internet, rather than the server console. When I run the CFAdministrator on the server itself, i get the message: [quote] This applet displays a file-tree of the server to enable the user to browse its contents. Your browser is not configured correctly to use java applets. Please install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and be sure to install the browser plugins [/quote] So I assume the JVM is not running on the server. Since you mention it, I checked and my dev machine gives the same result for both the server's CFServer and my dev machine's CFServer.

Russ is this a new thing?

Very disappointed in Viviotech
So I signed up with Viviotech - got a VPS. Started setting up my first hosting space after reading the documentation - had a question about why I was getting an error message that didnt seem to be covered by the documentation anywhere. Rang Viviotech. Got a jerk that told me that since I didn't have managed support, he wouldn't answer my question, and nor would he tell me where in the documentation I could find out about the error message. That guy should be sacked. I understand about paying for support, and I understand they dont provide 24/7 support for nothing, but I would have thought a new customer might have been able to at least get a little bit of handholding at first. I would have thought I'd have been able to get a LITTLE bit of help setting up my first site so I understand their concepts.

Re: Very disappointed in Viviotech
Ok so now I'm ok with Viviotech again.They're a fine company and sensitive to customers hot buttons. The support guy I spoke to said something that really pressed a button and in my usual hot-blooded fashion I went incandescent.I really should learn to take a deep breath once in a while. Anyway the result is when I called Viviotech back again after I'd cooled off a bit ( and i sincerely regret I didnt wait to send the above post to CF-TALK ) the same guy had had a think about our previous conversation and took a different tack.We got me set up for managed support and in the mean time he had researched the answer to my problem, and we went on from there. Also, Jordan Michaels the co-owner of Viviotech wanted to talk to me too.I thought he was going to give me a lecture about patience (he'd have been justified ) but no, he was ready to listen and understood my issue entirely. My issue is now resolved, and my anger has gone away. And I'm impressed that no one at Viviotech made any attempt to wiggle their way away from me and onto something else (the standard tactic when you call plenty of other companies) - they stuck with the problem until it was resolved. So i'm having a bit of a roller coaster of a day. Began high in positive energy, went downhill when I coudln't get my first account up and going, then back up again when they dealt with me so well. I'm sure some of you already know I can be a difficult bugger to deal with if you press the wrong buttons, and Viviotech handled it all well. I'm a happy customer.

Moving part of my hosting business - thoughts about my plan please ...
Yes yes yes, I know its been done and done again here.I'd like to know the opinion of some of you who've been down this road a few times - its quite a while since I've moved hosts.. here's my issue: I need to move to a new hosting company from the one I have my small business sites on. These are the mom-pop businesses that make up quite a bit of my business.Typically they're relatively stable sites with a SQLServer2005 database in a shared hosting environment. My hosting wholesaler has pissed me off once too often and I am going to move that part of my business somewhere else. I am thinking of a virtual server in the cloud, moving to Linux and Railo from Windows2003 Server and ColdFusion. [A] OS move: I'm aware from past experience that I'm going to get some links that fail because Linux is case sensitive in filenames and Windows isnt. I've tried to be disciplined in using filenames because of that but I just know there are going to be some links or cflocations that fail on that account. Are there any other 'gotchas' moving from windows to linux? Is there any benefit of one flavour of Linux over another? [B] Server environment move: How about moving from ColdFusion (currently v9) to Railo?Is it REALLY compatible? Am i really likely to be able to just copy my files to a Railo environment and have most of them work ok? What's been your experience with that move? -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358171 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Moving part of my hosting business - thoughts about my plan please ...
Thank you everybody, I'm glad I asked.I have changed my plan now. Cameron and others made a good point. I was trying to do too many thing at once. My plan now is to get a new hosting environment as similar as possible to my current one, so its gives me the most chance that I'll be able to just copy everything over and most of it will work as is. Then work from there on the transition to Linux or the cloud and Railo in two more steps. Thanks to a suggestion from another member of this list off-list I'm not going with the cloud just yet, I'll go with a VPS at Viviotech and work from there. So far every question I've asked they have said yes we can do that all you do is Once again this group helps me out. In this case, I can see if I had gone with my original plan, it MIGHT have worked out ok, but with my luck the odds were that it would give me a lot of grief before it was all said and done.Thank you all I'll let you know how it all turns out. Cheers Mike Kear On Sat, Mar 29, 2014 at 2:12 AM, Money Pit websitema...@gmail.com wrote: Having been there/done that myself, I would follow Cameron's described route. You don't want to be debugging so many different issues at once on an OS you aren't intimately familiar with (and maybe not familiar at all). You mentioned you are on Win2003. Have you by chance missed out on running CF on a 64-bit Win OS? That was like manna from heaven when I first switched. Consider a Windows VPS from Viviotech. They can license you a copy of CF Enterprise *very* inexpensively. They are surprisingly robust for the prices charged, they are CF-literate and an excellent firm on general principles. From there consider leasing another Windows VPS and put Railo on it (Viviotech will do this for you for a small setup fee or for free IIRC). Then tinker away, migrate a low-profile site over when you're ready etc. This is what I did with my personal sites. You could take it a step further and after mastering Railo, retire the Windows/Railo VPS, fire up one with linux and start over again on the tinkering so you limit your issues to that part of the change. If you need more horsepower and have the budget for a CF license, look at the blade servers at Cybercon; check out their hardware configs. I don't see how you can beat those prices. My servers there have been absolutely reliable. -- --m@Robertson-- Janitor, The Robertson Team mysecretbase.com ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358215 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Honest question about cfform
Gerald, I used to use CFFORM, and it quickly got outdated as HTML and CSS and Javascript and jquery moved on. These days HTML5 is the go with CSS3. CFFORM doesnt produce those. Therefore things like client side validation, placeholder text, cross-browser issues, mobile devices are all possible but much more difficult to allow for with CFFORM than with the newer HTML5/CSS3 approach. Those new features are all built in with the new HTML5/CSS3 approach. Believe me, you'll get a much better result if you go to the trouble of converting to HTML/CSS3. You will have more control over the displayed result, you'll have better client-side scripting with inbuilt html features and jquery and the resulting form on a mobile device will be a far better product. As I said, I used to use CFFORM and at the time, it seemed like the bees knees. But now it just seems SOO old fashioned. I inherited a site that had CFFORM and the java applets all over it (CFGRID etc) and it pretty soon showed that it was a nightmare to do updates on, and as more and more of our users wanted to use devices that didnt have flash and java on them, we got more and more problems. It soon proved that we needed to change to a pure HTML/CSS3/jquery approach for all client-side stuff, leaving ColdFusion to handle the backend server-side stuff, which is where CFML really struts its stuff and knocks everything else out of the park. (Sorry about the mixed metaphor!)

I have not looked at the output of CFFORM JavaScript in ages, but if it has not been updated at all there's a good chance it's not fully compatible with today's browsers. There are also form validation frameworks. One that I know of is ValidateThis http://www.validatethis.org/ I'm not sure if this will work in your case. It's worth at least looking into it.

Re: Possible time out
To check your theory, try setting the timeout to a large number and see if the problem goes away.Then you know for sure what is causing the problem. There are a number of things you can do to reduce the impact of a long processing time: [A] look for ways to reduce the processing time.I dont know what you're doing so I can't be specific about what you could do but maybe combine some of those checkbox results so you have only one query between them. Or cache some of the queries so they come back faster from the database. [B] If you can't speed up the processing time, look for ways to reduce the effect. For example use threading (CFTHREAD tag) to run simultaneous queries and start displaying the result even though not all the queries have processed yet.You can use force coldfusion to display the incomplete page if you use CFFLUSH tags to output the page up to that point, even though the page processing isnt complete yet. Often, even though you can't speed up the page process, you can give the user the appearance of a faster page process by displaying parts of the page while processing still continues. [C] Use both A and B above.

Re: Adobe take over a MONTH to advise me my credit card details are stolen
Apparently, Adobe are unable to process ANY credit card details, And it would seem they are unable to have anyone in Australia take a phone call. I have been trying for nearly a MONTH to get to talk to someone about this and never get to anyone. I leave messages and no one ever calls me back. There was an issue with my credit card when they went to process my November Creative Cloud payment, but instead of just trying it again a day or so later as most companies do, I had to go and update my CC details. I did that (the details were correct already but I updated them anyway) and would expect a new attempt at payment in a day or so and all would be well. NO such luck with Adobe.I keep getting messages when I open any CC application saying I have xx days to update my details or it will be cancelled. I have contacted their support THREE times - and been assured the issue will be resolved.I have been promised that someone from the appropriate team will contact me.No such luck. I have been assured that my card will be charged within 24 hours and all will be well. NO such luck. I have used a new credit card.That hasnt been charged either. I have now tried changing the credit card details back to the original card. Still hasn't charged, therefore my CC subscription is STILL unpaid. Now I have only 5 days left before my creative cloud subscription expires and I assume I'll be unable to open my CC applications at all. If i can't get to talk to anyone at Adobe on the phone, multiple contacts to the support centre have come to nothing, several emails have had no result, I dont know what choices I have left. Apart from going to the NSW Department of Fair Trading and complaining, or taking Adobe to the small claims court, or exploring the possibility of pirate copies, what the hell else can I do?I NEED those applications.

Odd that they would be stored in the same location as the UN/PW (assuming they are both part of the same breach). Usually vendors with Payment Card volume as high as Adobe are required to keep PCI on totally isolated systems. But then, you'd assume that about the source code that was stolen as well. So the breach was 1) authentication information AND 2) Payment Card Information AND 3) source code? Presumably all available via the same breach? Each of which should have been isolated systems.

Re: Adobe take over a MONTH to advise me my credit card details are stolen
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. @Jochem, I had no idea about that escalation address. Thanks for that.@Dave Watts, as always a thoughtful and considered response. I have actually done all those things, with some success, as you'll see if you read on. @Russ, I took your approach with the next guy I had on the live chat - I imagine he has some eloquent names for me now. @Mac, I am now looking at alternatives to the Creative Cloud.It's clear that if anything goes wrong with my relationship with Adobe, or anything happens to Adobe, I'm screwed. (Based on the state of the Australian Adobe, it's not far-fetched to consider them disappearing entirely from the landscape). And thanks to @Ray Camden for offering to step up and go to bat on my behalf. It's not his role there and not a problem of his causing, but he volunteered to try to fix it for me. First of all,I cannot talk to ANYONE at Adobe on the phone. Australians cant call US 1800 numbers they dont work. and anyway I can't call internationally on my mobile phone. I dont have a big enough mortgage. I have been trying to call someone in the Australian end of Adobe for almost a month, and you can never get through to anyone. They dont answer the phone. All you get is a message bank, and then they don't call back. Secondly, I have already gone up the support tree several times to what the person on the live chat window says was the appropriate team. (when i ask what the name of that team is, I dont get an answer.) I have had a bucket full of promises and assurances that came to nothing. It will all be fine within 24 hours I've been repeatedly assured, only to see nothing happens - 3 days later I'm still getting the you have xx days before your subscription lapses. message. Thirdly, I never store my files on the cloud exclusively. I will do my own backups and have control of what happens to them, and have a backup on the cloud as double indemnity.I'm talking about being able to start Photoshop, Fireworks, Edge, Dreamweaver, Audition etc. With no Creative Cloud subscription valid, they will stop or be crippled. Fourthly, the situation is now resolved. I got pretty aggressive in yet another online chat (the only way I can interact with Adobe - they dont have any email addresses published so I can't send emails and can't phone them), because if I can't run Audition before my radio show starts I'm in deep trouble preparing it. Radio has very inflexible deadlines. I felt a bit sorry for the poor support guy on the end of the chat because he copped it all. It wasn't his fault but where else could I apply any pressure to get this resolved since I couldn't talk to anyone on the phone and until Jochem gave me the email address, I had no way to communicate by email either? To his credit, he remained calm although I am sure he was swearing at me behind the keyboard, and he told me someone from the appropriate team would call me. I demanded that the call be NOW while I am here and that he remain on the chat until its resolved. To my surprise, someone did indeed call me right then and we got the matter resolved. My credit card is processed and my Creative Cloud subscription is once again current. And they've given me 2 months free as compensation. I feel its pretty small compensation given the amount of billable time I've wasted extracting empty promises and assurances from Adobe, but it's something so I'll live with that. The base problem is this: [A] if my credit card payment didnt go through the first time, I should have had an email informing me, and they should have attempted the charge again a few days later. That's what everyone else in the world does. [B] I shouldn't have had to update my account details in order to prompt a re-billing. The details were correct. It's an account I keep a very small balance in, so if i get my details stolen, I can't lose too much. [C] When i DID try to update my details (change them to what they already were), I sometimes got error messages saying the update was invalid. Nothing about whether it was my fault or theirs. So should I go back and try to update again or not? A bit of usability testing required there, I think. [D] once the problem had emerged, it shouldnt have required me to spend 7.5 hours of billable time getting it resolved. It's a simple matter (or at least it ought to be) and I shouldnt have been given assurances and promises that didnt happen. [E] The Australian subsidiary should have a phone number that people actually answer. If they dont talk to anyone on the phone it's no wonder the Australian company is a basket case.Most of the time when I called them, I didnt say WHY i wanted to talk - for all they knew i could have been wanting to buy a thousand copies of Photoshop or something This is not advanced customer relationship management - its basic stuff that trainees know before they even start
Adobe take over a MONTH to advise me my credit card details are stolen
We all heard about the Adobe security disaster here, but finally now, OVER A MONTH later, Adobe have finally got around to informing me that my credit card info and other details were stolen, possibly creating an identity theft issue for me. And they thought so much about it, and were SO concerned for my security, they didnt even bother to sign the letter. I have my email address on file because I'm a Creative Cloud subscriber, but did they send me a warning that way? NO! Merely sent a letter by snail mail on 13 October and couldn't even put a name to the person sending it.

How to refresh part of a page automatically
I have a page with a webcam image in it. The webcam uploads a new image every 60 seconds, and I use a HTML refresh to refresh the whole page every 60 seconds. It seems a bit clunky to me. It's worked just fine for several years, but I'd like to see if i can find a way to refresh only the div that contains the image. (or iframe if that's a better way to do it but i'd like ot stay away from frames and iframes if i can). Does anyone know how I could do this? i.e. just refresh part of the page automatically?Is there a jquery plugin that would do that? It needs to be fully automatic so the page just changes, a bit like the way facebook changes all by itself as new material is received. -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion 9 Enterprise, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:356926 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: How to refresh part of a page automatically
Ray, thanks for this. I can see you get your kicks writing bits of code like this dont you. You've gone wy past answering my question as you usually do, and I'm most grateful. I have a suspicion your idea of a relaxing evening on your vacation is a coding problem and a laptop, where the rest of us will waste our time on a cold beverage and warm company on the couch. Actually Ray waiting for the image to finish uploading IS an issue.We frequently see the webcam page with no image on it because the page refreshed while the new image was uploading. I experimented with getting ColdFusion to read the file and write it out to another file, and have the page call that one, but coldfusion still hiccupped when there wasn't a complete image. ( I never got to finishing writing a handler for that - this is a probono site for me and I had to move on to paying work.)

Re: Best way to use LESS CSS with CF?
t why rewrite the wheel when documented frameworks already exist Learning another language to do what can be done as easily by the language I've been using for years looks like reinventing the wheel to me. That's the advantage of Less (and SASS too for that matter) - you dont learn any new syntax. It uses CSS syntax to do nearly everything. I was thinking about how I could write my own preprocessor because I have a CMS that i customise by changing colours mostly, and i was thinking about how I could have a settings table or something and use CFFILE to output a stylesheet when I heard about LESS and to my delight - there it was! The very thing I was planning to write, was already written!And it took me about 10 minutes to learn what I needed to learn to use it.

Re: Confused: java.lang.NullPointerException CF9
It looks like this problem is solved, because while it's been intermittent, I haven't had the error for a couple of days. So that means the problem was the timezone.cfc CFC by Paul Hastings. It's an excellent component, but the version I had was old. It's been rock solid for years and years, but something changed in the JVM and it gave errors. However the fix was easy - just download a current version and replace the old version on the site. The new version has updates from August 2010 and adds new methods too. Problem apparently solved.

Adobe no longer supports ColdFusion??? Really?
Have I missed something here? I upgraded my Dreamweaver CS6 to Dreamweaver CC and ColdFusion is no longer supported apparently. There are no CFM file types, no tag hinting or code completion etc for ColdFusion, apparently. Unless I've missed something somewhere and I have to change a setting or install an extension or something. Has anyone else found a fix for this? Or have I got it wrong? -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion 9 Enterprise, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:355967 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Adobe no longer supports ColdFusion??? Really?
Again, I might be wrong here, but if you make ColdFusion sites, Dreamweaver CC is impossible to use, because you can't render any of the pages, use any of the responsive features, or the site management features, or use any live view. It wont even open the files.You can't use it to do the layout either unless you first do your page in html, then change them to .cfm pages. Dreamweaver, for me the principal reason to buy the CC subscription, is no longer any use for me so I might as well cancel my subscription. Now after about a decade of using various versions of Dreamweaver, I'm going to have to learn a whole new IDE. Adobe really have no clue how to support and market any server products. I said that when i saw what a fiasco the forms product was for them, now it looks like ColdFusion is 'deprecated' too.

Re: Adobe no longer supports ColdFusion??? Really?
Ray, removing CF File support from Dreamweaver means the WHOLE PRODUCT is useless in ColdFusion sites. You can't use any of the Dreamweaver product to develop a ColdFusion site because you can't open the files. Unless you build a whole bunch of static html pages, lay them out and design them and do all that stuff, THEN convert them to ColdFusion pages, Dreamweaver's useless. But not if you build them in the competitor's technology PHP instead. Why on earth would they retain support for the competitor, but not their own for pete's sake?? What sense does that make??

I should add, I'm not a DEVELOPER. I run a one-man shop - i am Designer, Coder, Developer, Strategist, Consultant, Hosting company, Domain Registry - I do the whole thing. I dont just cut code.I'm in a very large group of people who arent working in a development team. It makes no sense to be switching from application to application if the whole job can be done in the one. And here Adobe is, trumpeting the benefits of doing mobile development including PhoneGap in the new Dreamweaver, right there with all your other development, but at the same time other people in his team are telling me I have to chuck Dreamweaver out and change to something else that doesnt integrate with the workflow.

Re: Adobe no longer supports ColdFusion??? Really?
Thanks Les! That helps a lot.Jeez why didnt Adobe just say that instead of all that 'deprecated' business? Or as you say include an option to have .cfm and .cfc files associated with Dreamweaver, just like they did with .js and .css ?? Anyway - moving on now. a carer's work is never done.

But Adobe, for one reason or another, has made it dificult... Do this: 1. Go to preferences 2. In the choose external applications section, hit the + and enter .cfm. In the editor window, select your Dreamweaver app and make it the primary editor. Done Note: if you enter .cfm in the Open in Code View list, you will ONLY be able to open CF pages in code view.

Re: Checking if a file exist - then choice to overwrite or not ...
Why not use the functionality that is already built into the html/cfm scripts?At the point of asking which file to upload, why not ask there if the file you are about to upload already exists, what do you want to do?Overwrite? Skip? . then use that to set you overwrite=true or overwrite=false parameter in the CFFILE tag So that decision is already made before the Submit button is clicked.

Re: Easy CFC question (I hope)
Bruce I wouldn't sweat about making a rookie mistake.We all do. Mine is usually confusing 'eq' and '='. as in ... cfif variable1 eq variable2 /cfif and cfset variable1 = something I usually find out I've got them the wrong way round when I get an error message. You'd think something as simple as that would be easy to remember, if only because it trips me up so many times.But no. So don't worry about it. Anyway, any programmer that tells you they usually write code that works first time as advertised is quite probably a liar. What is important is to learn how you diagnose your own errors and fix them yourself before anyone else gets involved. You're going to keep making mistakes, either simply syntax mistakes or errors in code logic.The skilled programmers learn how to look for potential minefields as they go, and check each segment of code as they develop, so the finished code is as robust as it's possible to be before they let anyone else test it.That way they get the reputation of being invincible. It's all smoke and mirrors though. They're not invincible - they just paper over the cracks before anyone sees (to mix metaphors).

How to learn to build mobile apps..
I need to learn how to build mobile apps for iPad/iPhone and Android. I have been building responsive web sites for mobile devices and think I have a reasonable understanding of the issues involved with that, but I have a project coming up that will require a full-on app not just a web site. So here's my question to those of you who build mobile apps ... how would I go about learning this? Is there a course i can take? On line course? Books?Where do i gather the skills? I dont have a tertiary qualification in programming - everything I've learned so far I've picked up along the way, so I have quite a steep learning curve for building mobile apps, I think.

Re: Now() offset by 1 hour
I might be wrong ( i sometimes have been known to be wrong, but not very often) but I thought GMT didnt have daylight savings. I thought GMT was the same all year round, and it was the timezone at London that changed daylight savings. Or is it just that UTC was constant and sometimes was the same as GMT but not always. But if i'm right, maybe you need to set your locale timezone to something other than GMT, thereby automatically adjusting for daylight savings. I dont have the problem, because my timezone is Sydney/Australia - and while my servers are in California and Texas, i have no problem keeping all my ColdFusion time clocks at Sydney time automatically. The server clocks are set to UTC however and I set the timezone to Sydney/Australia. Done.
