RE: [cfaussie] Re: cfchart
Thanks, Brett. That's an.interesting.way to look at it. :-) I suppose I see that benefit. And if at least others did mention it when such questions came up, I'd be happy to see that. Otherwise it seems I'm usually the only one (on this and other lists), even when I wait a couple of days to see if anyone else does. That's a bit disheartening-and may even make some think that no one else knows or cares about it. I appreciate your (and Peter's) kind regards then all the more. As for your appreciating that you hear from others offering alternatives when someone asks if there are any, I'll note this: certainly if someone asks folks to share their experience working with alternatives (not just what are alternatives), then that's when it makes sense for folks to share individual alternatives, with added opinion, since I don't offer that on the category lists. But when someone just asks, what are alternatives for x, it would just be nice to see someone point out (in addition to any they may favor) that you can find more alternatives in that category at cf411.com. :-) Not everyone reads every message in every thread, so I'm sure there are always some who would not already know about it.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: cfchart
Am looking into using NearMap (www.nearmap.com) as opposed to the seriously out of date GoogleMaps. Sure the CFMAP tag is handy but when the building I've been working in for the last 8 months still shows up as a construction site something is seriously wrong. NearMap has an API that should be easily integrated. Peter Tilbrook Web Administrator, The Club Group Pty. Ltd.

[cfaussie] Convert cf date to milliseconds since the epoch?
This is sort of related to my graphing question from the other day. I'm using Flot and the times need to be expressed as milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00. In Java you can call .getTime() on a function to do this. Does CF provide a simple way to either: * Convert a cf date to time in millis?; OR * Convert a cf date to a java date? I could create a new Java Calendar object and then set the various date parts, but before I write a wrapper function to do it that way I figured I'd see if I was missing something obvious?

[cfaussie] Re: Convert cf date to milliseconds since the epoch?
Hmm not that simple. The dates are coming from a query, and .getTime() appears not to be valid, for example: cfquery name=q datasource=ds_web_content select sysdate from dual /cfquery cfdump var=#q.sysdate# cfoutput#q.sysdate.getTime()#/cfoutput Error: The getTime method was not found. Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types or the getTime method is overloaded with argument types that ColdFusion cannot decipher reliably. ColdFusion found 0 methods that match the provided arguments. If this is a Java object and you verified that the method exists, use the javacast function to reduce ambiguity. This doesn't work either: cfset javaDate = JavaCast(java.util.Date, q.sysdate) Error: JavaCast type java.util.Date must be one of the following types: byte, char, short, int, long, float, double, boolean, string, bigdecimal, their corresponding array representation (eg : int[]), or null.

[cfaussie] Re: Convert cf date to milliseconds since the epoch?
Nice - that looks like a better solution because I don't have to create a *^%ing custom function and then include it everywhere I want it. Thanks!

Hmm not that simple. The dates are coming from a query, and .getTime() appears not to be valid, for example: cfquery name=q datasource=ds_web_content select sysdate from dual /cfquery cfdump var=#q.sysdate# cfoutput#q.sysdate.getTime()#/cfoutput Error: The getTime method was not found. Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types or the getTime method is overloaded with argument types that ColdFusion cannot decipher reliably. ColdFusion found 0 methods that match the provided arguments. If this is a Java object and you verified that the method exists, use the javacast function to reduce ambiguity. This doesn't work either: cfset javaDate = JavaCast(java.util.Date, q.sysdate) Error: JavaCast type java.util.Date must be one of the following types: byte, char, short, int, long, float, double, boolean, string, bigdecimal, their corresponding array representation (eg : int[]), or null.

On Feb 16, 12:24 pm, Andrew am2...@gmail.com wrote: This is sort of related to my graphing question from the other day. I'm using Flot and the times need to be expressed as milliseconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00. In Java you can call .getTime() on a function to do this. Does CF provide a simple way to either: * Convert a cf date to time in millis?; OR * Convert a cf date to a java date? I could create a new Java Calendar object and then set the various date parts, but before I write a wrapper function to do it that way I figured I'd see if I was missing something obvious?

Re: [cfaussie] Re: cfchart
The best thing to do is don't use the cfchart tag and integrate directly with the java api. So much more you can do. All you need to do is learn how to build the style sheets using the cfchart tool.

[cfaussie] Re: MAD! Melbourne Adobe Developers Meeting Feb 16 2012 StageWebView (AIR), Backbone (JS)
Very disappointed I won't be able to make it tonight. I really wanted to see these presentations. Has anyone looked at the possibility of remote access to these meetings? Even something as basic as sticking a phone on the desk and connecting through Google Hangouts would be enough. Just a thought. It might bring in a lot more participation (of sorts). Happy to contribute to set-up costs of any such solution. Have a good night folks. Will try to be at the next one.
