[cfaussie] Search engines seeing bad URLs

[Ryan Sabir]

Hey all, strange problem here.

A site I have recently taken over throws a whole lot of errors all
through the day. These errors always come from a search engine bot as
it travels through the site. The problem they are have is that they
are seeing bad URL parameters. The ampersand between the parameters is
being URL encoded.
e.g.
A query string that should look like this:

productSearchCategory=0&productSearchBrand=139&productSearchKeyword=

is being seen like this;

productSearchCategory=0&productSearchBrand=139&productSearchKeyword=

and sometimes it's been encoded twice, like this:

productSearchCategory=0&productSearchBrand=139&productSearchKeyword=

This is breaking the functionality of the site and throwing errors all day.

I've never seen this happen before, has anyone seen anything similar
and maybe knows what caused it?

bye

On the subject. Does anyone know if CF Builder is going to be free
when it is released? If it is going to cost money, will it offer us
much more than what CFEclipse does now? I couldn't find this info
online anywhere.

thanks

[Ryan Sabir]

Hi all,

Finally got this issue worked out.

It turns out that they didn't have modify permissions for my user on
c:\coldfusion8\wwwroot\web-inf\cfclasses\

Not a word of apology for wasting my time telling me it was my
problem. I don't understand how a company claiming to offer a standard
shared hosting package would have such a basic issue come up.

Thanks for everyones help here, it really set my mind at ease that I
hadn't forgotten how to write a 3 line CF page.

bye!

Yes Charlie thanks for that.

I managed to get someone to stay on the line long enough to see the problem
happen in front of their eyes. It looks like he's now escalating the case to
the right people. I'm going to leave it with them for a bit before I try
yours and Glens suggestions. Fortunately this site doesn't need to go live
for a month or so.

I'll let you know how it pans out.

Thanks Glen, good idea I'll try that.

Yeah unfortunately this site was set up by my client before I came on
the scene. I've worked with WebCentral before but it's never been this
bad.

Thanks Simon,

I did get them to look at the permissions and ownership on the files and
they were both identical.

I've even tried using 2 different FTP programs in case something weird was
happening there but nope.

[cfaussie] Re: CF8 "file not found" strangeness

[Ryan Sabir]

Thanks Charlie,

This is the most frustrating thing about this issue. It's on a shared server
at WebCentral so I have no access to the CF Administrator. I tried poking
around the file system using CF but they have security turned on so I can't
see the config files.

Normally yeah I'd be playing around in the config files and cache
directories looking for permissions issues but at the moment I'm just trying
to get them to admit there is a problem.

[cfaussie] Re: CF8 "file not found" strangeness

[Ryan Sabir]

Nope, it's a ColdFusion error, not the IE error page. Besides I use FireFox
for dev so unlikely I'd see the IE error page :)

Here is the problem. This file was uploaded by me, overwriting a previous
version:
http://svc009.wic020v.server-web.com/coldfusion.cfm

This file was uploaded by a WebCentral tech:
http://svc009.wic020v.server-web.com/coldfusion1.cfm

But the files are exactly the same, I'm dumping the directory contents here
for you to see:
http://svc009.wic020v.server-web.com/dircontents.cfm

WebCentral claim this is because I don't have an Application.cfc file. Which
makes no sense at all to me.

Plain html works fine, as do images, Flash etc. I'm pretty sure it's some

Are you writing this to a database? You may be able to use the Full Text search

on the difference.

Otherwise, sit back and get your head into this:

[cfaussie] Re: Creating Excel files with multiple worksheets

[Ryan Sabir]

Generate it as XML..

1. Manually create the spreadsheet in Excel, with the multiple worksheets.
2. Save it as XML
3. Examine the XML in a text editor and use your mad CF skillz to recreate the 
content dynamically
4. Profit!

Subject: [cfaussie] Creating Excel files with multiple worksheets


Making an Excel files come out of your CF pages is pretty straight forward with 
tables and CFContent.
Is there any way to make an Excel file that has multiple worksheets?
The solutions I've found involve calling COM objects for a server copy of 
Excel, but my server doesn't have Excel installed so I can't use that method.
How would you make a second (or third) worksheet in an Ecel output file without 
having Excel installed on the server?

Darren

[cfaussie] OT: IT managers mailing lists?

[Ryan Sabir]

Hi all,
 
Are there any good mailing lists whose members are IT Managers, CTO's, Senior 
Technologists etc? Not programing focused, but more about business and 
management issues?
 
Not necessarily Cold Fusion based, but covering the web industry, Australian 
based would be ideal. Some of the Builder AU newsletters are excellent, but 
they are a one way communication.
 
thanks.

[cfaussie] Re: Help using xml data from excel to cf and then back to excel (re posting )

[Ryan Sabir]

Hi Claude,
 
I'd recommend not opening and re-saving the file using DreamWeaver, it has a 
tendency to add random noise to the XML file. Can you work with it in a text 
editor such as Textpad?
 
Is your client on a Mac? I know some Mac users can't read the XML formatted 
file.

(re posting )



Hi,

I save an excel spreadsheet into xml format to a new filename.

I can then open the new spreadsheet and it opens perfectly and the content is 
identical original spreadsheet.

If i then open the xml file in dreamweaver whether i make changes to the data 
sets or simply save the file in xml format using dreamweaver excel cannot open 
the file and comes up with an error message in a pop up screen.

The error log is as follows

XML PARSE ERROR: Non-unique or duplicate attribute
Error occurs at or below this element stack:


Also if my client tries to open the original xml saved document they see 
garbled code on the screen rather than the spreadsheets as i can see. They are 
running excel 2003 sp2 whilst i am on sp3 does the sp3 provide additional xml 
functionality allowing sp3 to read xml documents in an excell format whilst sp2 
does not ??? 

The cf site is being hosted on a shared hosting platform so i am not able to 
use custom tags etc to provide a solution.

[cfaussie] CF 8 certification

[Ryan Sabir]

Heya, not sure if this has been asked before..
 
Does anyone know what the status of ColdFusion 8 certification is? On the Adobe 
site there is a reference to Certified ColdFusion MX Developer exams, but no 
mention of what version. Anyway, the first paragraph on this page just doesn't 
make sense 
http://www.adobe.com/support/training/certified_professional_program/cfmx_developer.html
 
Is there a study guide for 8 yet? 
 
thanks.

[cfaussie] Conference program

[Ryan Sabir]

Heya,
 
Has anyone built a dynamic conference program in CF? The sort that lets you 
view an entire day at a time. Showing multiple tracks, some seminars spanning 
multiple time slots, some events (like lunch) spanning multiple tracks etc. All 
of this being completely database driven and changing by the client at any time.
 
As far as I can tell there are 2 ways to do this. Build it all in a HTML table 
and wirte code that works out the COLSPANs and ROWSPANs for each cell. Or, 
float every element in its own little DIV with a border and use absolute 
positioning to put each box that represents an event where it needs to go.
 
Has anyone successfully implemented one of these solutions, or has come across 
another other better ways to do it?
 
I had a look at the WebDU Agenda at a glance, but that is more structured than 
ours will be. Every events starts and finishes at the same time.
 
thanks!

[cfaussie] Re: Cold Fusion Exporting To Excel

[Ryan Sabir]

Easiest way is to mock up the spreadsheet you want in Excel, with the multiple 
workbooks, then export it as XML. Then you can view the generated XML and 
recreate it dynamically from your Cold Fusion app.
 
Only problem is that this won't work as easily on versions of Excel prior to 
2003, or on the Mac.

Heya, 

 

I'm doing a 301 redirect using CFHEADER like so:

The redirect correctly shows the new page content, but the URL 
in the browser window is still the old URL. If I bookmark it, its actually 
bookmarking the old URL. How can I do an SEO friendly redirect, and change the 
URL as well?

[cfaussie] Re: 301 redirect not changing URL

[Ryan Sabir]

Thanks for that, I actually did try putting a CFABORT after the CFHEADERs, it 
wouldn't work at all without it.
 
Funny thing is, CFLOCATION actually does change the URL in the browser. I've 
tried moving the CFHEADER to the very top of the Application.cfm file, still no 
dice.
 
Anyway, its not a major issue, I might just have to leave it as a CFLOCATION.
 
I might be able to hack something together using ISAPI rewrite if I'm bothered.

Hi Ryan
 
Try this :
 

http://www.new-url.com"; /> 

 
I am not sure if this wil solve your problem, but give it a go mate!
 
Also , try the CFLOCATION to see if the address changes  correctly ( this is 
more of a debug thing than a solution ).
 
If none of the above work, can you please let me know what  code is being run 
before / after calling the CFHeader tag.

Subject: [cfaussie] 301 redirect not changing URL
 
Heya, 
 
I'm doing a 301 redirect using CFHEADER like so:
 

http://www.new-url.com";> 
 
The redirect correctly shows the new page content, but the URL in the browser 
window is still the old URL. If I bookmark it, its actually bookmarking the old 
URL. How can I do an SEO friendly redirect, and change the URL as well?
 
thanks.

[cfaussie] Re: 301 redirect not changing URL

[Ryan Sabir]

 
CFLOCATION is a 302 redirect. It tells the search engine that the resource 
requested has been moved temporarily. A 301 redirect tells a search engine that 
the resource has been moved permanently, so no longer look for it at the 
original URL.
 
At least that's how I understand how it works.

Is there any reason not to use cflocation? Does it not handle that stuff?

[cfaussie] OT: Outlook protecting your privacy?

[Ryan Sabir]

Hi folks, 
 
Just an interesting thing I found the other day...
 
I was building a little app that embeds a web bug in an email so I can test if 
a user has read it. It uses a 1 pixel gif image, that has the source pointing 
back at the server, so it makes a call to a CF page to tell me who's read it... 
pretty basic tracking behavior...
 
So I get the test emails in my inbox and I get the usual 
"Right-click here to download pictures. To help protect your privacy, Outlook 
prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet"
 
I expected this, and figured I would need to choose to download pictures before 
my read would get tracked. However, before I did this, I looked at my tracking 
database.. lo and behold it had recorded a read event for the email I had just 
recieved... even though I didn't choose to download pictures.
 
I always thought I Outlook wouldn't sent the GET request for the tracking bug, 
until after I chose to download pictures. I assumed all the SPAM I get wasn't 
actually sending messages back to the originators. Was I wrong? Has anyone else 
noticed this behavioir.. or is there something funky with my system?
 
This is Outlook 2003 on Win XP by the way.
 
thanks!

[cfaussie] OT: Any Filezilla users here?

[Ryan Sabir]

Heya,
 
Filezilla 2 used to have a whole bunch of command line operations you could use 
to start it and connect to a site automatically. Now in Filezilla 3, none of 
the command line parameters are working anymore. Trying "filezilla /h" gives 
this extremely useful dialog box:
 
---
filezilla message
---
Usage: filezilla [/h] [--verbose]
  /h, --help show this help message
  --verbose  generate verbose log messages
 
---
OK   
---

I can't find any info on whether the command line functionality has been 
changed, dropped, or is simply not working. Anyone have any idea?

[cfaussie] Anyone using SQL Delta?

[Ryan Sabir]

Hi all,
 
For those following the recent thread about SQL Server 2005 database 
transfering woes...
 
We've just discovered this great tool: http://www.sqldelta.com/
 
You point it at 2 databases and it will tell you the difference between them, 
and then creates scripts that synchronise the schema and data between the 2.
 
Just wondering if anyone has used it extensively and can vouch for its 
reliability? We tried it one a fairly large database and it seemed to run 
fine... has anyone had any good or bad experiences with it?
 
thanks.

Bootcamp 
doesn’t emulate anything it simply allows you to partition and dual boot into 
Windows at Startup. Bootcamp simply contains all the drivers that allows Windows 
to function with Mac hardware.
 
In 
my experience Bootcamp is the most robust of all the options since it doesn’t 
have to emulate anything. You also get to use the full power and memory of your 
machine. The benefit of installing Parallels and BootCamp is that in Parallels 
you can run Windows programs directly from OSX.
By 
installing Parallels using the “use BootCamp partition” option you don’t have to 
re-partition the drive again for virtualization.
 
So, 
the benefit of doing it this way is if you run out of memory or a program 
doesn’t run in Parallels you can just re-boot into BootCamp and use your machine 
as a normal Windows box ensuring maximum speed and 
compatibility.

[cfaussie] Re: MSSQL 2005 Developer Edition

[Ryan Sabir]

Hi all,

Just throwing our hat into the ring to say we are having exactly the same 
problems that Mike is describing.

What used to be a very straightforward task of copying objects between 
databases using DTS, simply doesn't work using the supplied SQL Server 2005 
tools. Sometimes it starts the copy and just hangs there for hours without 
completing. Other times, even worse, it says it is complete but has failed to 
copy large chunks of data.

There are a bunch of commercial tools out there that we've started looking at, 
e.g. http://www.red-gate.com/ , but its hard to justify the cost of these when 
the tools to do this are actually supplied with the software you've just spent 
a lot of money on. Management (quite understandably) reads the side of the box 
and says "It says you can do this already...why are we spending more money?"

Most instructions and tutorials on how to do this assume you have full 
administrative and file access to the database you are working with. But as web 
developers we are often working with remotely hosted and managed databases.

Any help you can find within Microsoft would be much appreciated Scott!

Thanks.

Sorry  Steve, but to use replication you have to have DB Administrator
rights on th systems that i host sites on, including Hostmysite.

And using the Import/Export tool you describe works, but you can't
save the specifics even though it pretends you can.  What it saves is
an empty spec that does nothing next time you call it up.   On one of
my sites, it takes an hour to specify each of the 83 tables, and each
one has to be specified because the default is not to replace all
records but append the incoming records, giving them all new keys.
Then I save that spec before running it,  so i can use it again,  the
download works.   Next time i call up that same job to run it a second
time, nothing happens.  It appears to open, validates, etc but doesnt
actually download anything.   So it all has to be specced out again.

[cfaussie] Re: MSSQL 2005 Developer Edition

[Ryan Sabir]

Heya Andrew,

We've been having so many problems with transferring data between SQL 2005 DBs 
that we are using this tool these days: 

http://www.topshareware.com/SQL-Dumper-download-42374.htm

SQL Dumper. It converts your whole database to a series of INSERT statements so 
you can easily recreate your data remotely.

yes I do have a soft spot for MS SQL, but we are begining to use mySQL
even more these days.

Derby, I think it is still to young at the moment and needs to
implement some very basic things like top and offset and a whole heap
of other things. But will be keeping an eye on its progress that is
for sure.

As for the original question, MS haven't given to much thought to
smaller situations like getting the DTS to work properly as I have had
it fail so many times on the most basic things, and the fact that
backing up a DB on a shared DB server is right pain in the arse.

[cfaussie] Saving an image from Flash to ColdFusion

[Ryan Sabir]

Heya,
 
We're working on some code at the moment that needs to save image data from an 
swf back to the server and save it as a JPEG.
 
We've found a number of PHP and ASP.NET solutions for this, but none in 
ColdFusion. 
 
Our delivery platform is Flash 8 (AS 2) our server is Cold Fusion 7. 
 
We are about to implement this part of the process as an PHP or ASP.NET call, 
but before we do, does anyone know how to achieve this in CF7? The main problem 
is that CF7 doesn't have any bitwise operators that we can use to manipulate 
the header of the JPEG file as its being written. CF 8 will do it I believe, 
but thats not an option at this stage.
 
thanks

[cfaussie] CF on OpenSUSE?

[Ryan Sabir]

Heya,
 
I've noticed that ColdFusion is officially suported on SUSE Linux Enterprise 
Server 8 or 9. Has anyone tried installing it on OpenSUSE 10? Is there anything 
in Enterprise Server 8 or 9 that would be missing in OpenSUSE?
 
thanks.

cfprocessingdirective is a compiler directive. I don't think you can put it

I have the following as the first bit of code in the onRequestEnd function, I'm

I did find one entry in google about this, which suggested something about the

I'm unsure though how to not have the settings in dreamweaver to affect

Yes, it sounds like it is a content caching issue, as both users are with

Its pretty serious though... Should they not play by the rules and look at last

We had exactly the same issue with users on iPrimus. From what I recall adding 
the no-cache directive to the headers seemed to fix the problem, but was hard 
to diagnose because it was very intermittent.

Nice snippet, the only downside is that it only works on the Enterprise

responding, applies to standard installs of course.
 
I am assuming that Ryan this is on a shared host environment?

In the past I've found that most companies that offer shared hosting services, 
set up their security so badly that you can trawl around the log files and the 
mail directories using CFFILE and CFDIRECTORY. Have you tried peeking around in 
the logs this way?

From Memory
 
You sue the query to authenticate blank is pass, error is fail like you said.
 
But to actually get stuff out of the directory, a user has no permission to do 
this.
 
So You run a separate LDAP query as the administrator or someone with 
permission to retrieve users details.
 
Simple test, try your query with Administrator username and password account 
but leave samaccountanme as ryan to see what happens.

[cfaussie] Re: Authenticate user against NT domain

[Ryan Sabir]

Thanks for the tip Dale, I'm nearly there:
 
I've got this query:
 
 
   
  
It fails if the username or password are incorrect, and returns an empty query 
when they are correct. Now this is enough for me to get by for now, but I want 
to get a bit of information out of the LDAP directory, i.e. their full name, 
group membership, etc.
 
Can anyone see why its returning an empty query rather than the user info?
 
thanks, bye!

You can use LDAP to validate a username and password against a domain.

Heya,
 
I want to offer a username/password login box that a user can put their Windows 
domain logon into, and it checks these details against the Active Directory and 
allows/disallows the user.
 
I know you can do this by disallowing anonymous access and checking the 
AUTH_USER cgi variable, but there are a few issues with this:
 - It doesn't work on AJAX-heavy sites when the users are on Firefox.
 - I want a login box that is integrated into my site, rather than the default 
login dialog box.
 
All I need is a way to make a call to my Domain Controller with the username 
and password, and it to tell me whether that is a valid user or not. What is 
the best way to go about doing this?
 
thanks.

[cfaussie] Re: SOT:Adobe & Flex let me down

[Ryan Sabir]

Speaking of books,
 
Can anyone recommend a set of essential Flex books for developers who are, much 
like most people on this list, quite advanced with Cold Fusion / Java 
development skills, and are starting to embark on Flex projects?
 
Thanks!

Subject: [cfaussie] Re: SOT:Adobe & Flex let me down
 
I'd like to weigh in on this too - Jeremy i can understand your difficulties 
attempting to get your head around flex in so short a time, but there are a 
couple of points I'd like to make:
 
1) All companies are guilty of focusing on what the good Dr Hilliard calls the 
"Elevator Pitch" - showing the bells and whistles that make things incredibly 
easy, and not focusing on the long term requirements.  But to be totally honest 
that's no different than allaire/macromedia et al have ever done with CF.  Low 
entry barrier - some things are dead easy to do.  That doesn't mean you'll be 
able to build complex apps in a day.  Think about it - we all know it take 2 
minutes to use cfquery and cfoutput and write a dynamic page to view data in a 
db.  But none of us assume that means we're going to be able to write 
enterprise apps integrating with all manner of things and using complex OO 
frameworks etc in no time.
 
2) AS3 is pretty easy to learn in and of itself - but that doesn't mean you're 
going to know the whole API and all the ins and outs in a week.  You can knock 
up simple little example apps in no time at all, but if you're looking at 
building anything serious, you need to take the time to understand the event 
model and asynchronous calls among other things.  I don't see this at all as a 
failing of the language OR of adobe.  Anyone who leaps into a new technology 
for a short fixed deadline based on just the "elevator pitch" is bound to feel 
pain.
 
3)  Once you've learned the basic differences and gotten past the web based 
request/response paradigm, you'll find flex magnificent -and very RAD.  There 
is yet to be a language developed that just lets you say "I want this and this 
and this and this" and it magically works.
 
I hope you get the chance to give flex another try.  When I first had at it, I 
was in exactly the same boat as you - and I had trouble shifting paradigms in 
my thinking.  But with the advice of people on the lists and reading the books 
I'm absolutely loving it now - it's a seriously powerful tool and is going to 
be very important in the not too distant future I think.  Don't be discouraged 
by the fact that it doesn't happen overnight.

Andrew,
 
I didn't go into this decision lightly. In fact it wasn't my ultimate

are anaylsed to the endth degree.
And yes in high-end sight we should have done it in HTML/ColdFusion.
 
We actually discussed it with a Third party i.e. NOT me. So when is a
good time to start working with the new tools? The only way to fully
learn a language is to get dirty
with it. My issue that I have with Adobe is that they DID not fully
explain the complexity and learning curve that Flex has. The reason I
raised this issue with all of you, is I truly believe
that flex IS not ready for the main stream development environment.
Its close but its just not ready. When I went to WebDU which I have
nicked name FlexDU I spoke to Ted Patrick about the learning
curve of Flex and what I could do to help reduce that learning curve
and even he acknowledged that there is a steep learning curve with
Flex and it is an issue that Adobe has recognized. He said wait for
some more books to come out which should help. So perhaps now that
Flex is open source we will see alot more tutorials and better
resources.

Serioulsy, I applaud your atempt but to go into a project without knowing
your tools is dangerous.
 
And like every programming language I have come across, learning them have
been easy. But the surface is always just that a surface, and when delving
deeper it can be harder and CF is no differeent.
 
When you start introducing Coldspring and MG:U or reactor, to name a few it
throws in some very big complexity and Flex is no different.

[cfaussie] Question on redirection

[Ryan Sabir]

Hi all,

 

I pose to you what seems like a simple question.. I’m
interested in what people would consider a ‘best practice’ method
for achieving this:

 

I have a ‘portal’ site with many links to other
websites. My clients pay me to be on my site, and in return I give them
reporting stats on how many people have clicked on their link. Each link to an
external site launches in a new window.

 

How would you track these clicks? 

 

I have some ideas on how to do this, I’m interested to
see what other people have come up with.

 

Thanks!

everyone we're about to be deluged with opportunities.
 
Numerous highlights:
The fabulous Nectarine animations, every year they get better.
Major improvements to production workflows, not sure how much I can say here... 
I'll leave that to the bloggers.
Apollo, Apollo and more Apollo. Remember this is just the code name right now 
so don't get too used to it.
CFAUSSIE regular Mark Mandel's Transfer ORM. Do yourself a favour and spend the 
10 minutes it will take you to understand it. 
 
Priceless moments:
Scott Barnes' laptop getting unplugged during a 'critique' of DreamWeaver.
Ted Patrick's 'pubic' class declaration
 
Only bumped into a few listers there.. maybe we should get an official CFAUSSIE 
cap made so we recognise each other.

[cfaussie] Embed Flash in a PDF

[Ryan Sabir]

Heya all,
 
Slightly off topic.. but you know.. you guys are smart.
 
What are my options for embedding a dynamically generated SWF file in a PDF for 
printing? 
 
Ideally I'd like a way to extract a bitmap of the SWF on the server, and save 
it as a JPEG, then dynamically build the PDF using CF7. Has anyone come across 
a tool that will do this? Is there another way?
 
thanks

[cfaussie] Re: Fusebox question

[Ryan Sabir]

Thanks Robin,
 
That all makes sense, but here's the bit I think I've missed... how do I 
specify "the variable name the controller sets up for the view".
 
At the moment in my model, a query looks like this:
 

 
In this case the model itself is setting the name of the variable. How do I get 
the controller to specify this?
 
Is it as simple as setting a request variable in the controller 
'request.eventObjectName' and passing that down the line? That means I'll have 
to evaluate() it at run time, a possible performance hit.
 
Or is there a FuseBox structure that can hold this object until its needed?
 
thanks.

Hi Ryan,


You have to have _some_ dependencies in an application to make it work, the 
trick is to eliminate the most harmful ones.  Dependencies from the UI back to 
the business logic/data (as you have here) are fine, as long as the variable 
name the controller sets up for the view stays fixed - as long as the control 
stuff doesn't need to know anything else about the view you're fine. 


It's like using a post office box to send a letter to someone...


(you don't know who and don't want to know)


...you agree on the format of the letter...


(value objects, query column names and types)


...and a post office box.


(a variable name). 


When you have a letter to send you drop it into the post office box, and you 
don't care or know if anyone picks it up.  


What you avoid doing this is having to address the letter to a specific, 
concrete individual... 


(this would be like rendering bits of html or calling a function or tag specific
 to the current incarnation of the UI)


...from the UI...


(a flighty crowd with high staff turnover - UI and other interfaces
change far more often than business logic)


...if you did that, you'd have to keep changing your process to address the 
letter, impacting your otherwise highly reusable letter addressing process.


(i.e. your business logic)







If this sort of analogy appeals and you'd like to hear more, this is pretty 
much an extract from my MAX Asia architecture talk that I'm repeating at WebDU 
next month.  It's about MVC and Flex but applies to ColdFusion too.



Cheers,
Robin

[cfaussie] Fusebox question

[Ryan Sabir]

Hey all,
 
I think there's some fundamental thing I'm missing with building an MVC app in 
Fusebox.
 
I have a fuse in my 'model' that runs a query to get details of an event. Say 
the query is named 'qGetEvent'.
 
When I'm outputing the data for that query, in a 'view' fuse, I'm referring to 
that query object, as in 'qGetEvent.eventDate'.
 
This seems to me to be breaking the whole modularity of my solution, as the 
view is expecting a query object named 'qGetEvent', in order to display its 
data. I feel like I've missed something fundamental in the Fusebox docs that 
will explain to me how to pass that query object down the line as a generic 
object, ratehr than a specifically named variable.
 
Whats the trick?

[cfaussie] RE: Firefox Javascript problem

[Ryan Sabir]

Are they in the same domain? It could be a cross site scripting issue?

Also, I think 'function' needs to be lower case… but that’s probably just a 
feature of your email program.

 Got a problem populating a form in firefox from a page that opened the form.  
The below code works in IE but not Firefox.  Any ideas.

Function loadValues() {

[cfaussie] Re: Strange calculation behavior on CF 7.02

[Ryan Sabir]

Here's a technote from Sun, regarding Java.. the underlying subsystem of 
ColdFusion:
 
http://java.sun.com/developer/JDCTechTips/2001/tt0807.html
 
I wouldn't expect this to be in the CF documentation. It's not Adobe's problem.

There's lots of references to this common problem, e.g.:

As to why you are seeing different results in different CF versions... not 
sure. But if you code to expect the rounding errors, then it won't matter.

[cfaussie] Re: Automatically encode special characters

Thats what I would have thought. But this system we are using (that we didn't 
build) doesn't seem to correctly import UTF-8.

Anyway I found a solution. A piece of software called HTML Tidy can batch 
process files and convert all weirdo characters into HTML entities.

Heya,

If someone claims to be an Certified ColdFusion MX 7 developer, but I can't 
find them here:

http://www.adobe.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?Id=19865&method=full

Does that mean they are fibbing? Or is that list out of date, or incorrect. Do

separately to taking the test?

I can see our buddy Mike Kear on there, so I know its not 100% wrong...

The last time I checked, MYOB doesn't have a true API, only 
an ODBC interface, which means you can't update the database 
without knowing the business rules to ensure the integrity of 
the database. To be truely useful, you need to be able 
automate the updating MYOB.

In the end it turned out to be a bug in eWebEditPro. If you have a long string of

[cfaussie] OT: IE crashing

[Ryan Sabir]

I have a client who is saying that a form we built in their CMS is crashing as 
soon as they hit the update button.
 
I've tried it on every machine I can get my hands on and I can't replicate the 
problem. But they have tried it on 2 machines in their office, and are getting 
the same problem.
 
The form is a page with a WYSIWYG editor (eWebEditPro 4) embedded in it. When 
the user hits update, rather than saving the change to the database, the whole 
browser shuts down with no error message being displayed.
 
Firstly, has anyone seen an issue like this, and might know what is causing the 
problem.?
 
Secondly, is there some sort of profiling tool that I can ask my client to run 
that will tell me as much as possible about their SOE, so I can see if there is 
a plugin or something causing this? At least to see the difference between 
their set up and mine.
 
thanks!

That's one of my gripes with the 'new' web. People invent all sorts of new 
widgets like custom scrollbars and back buttons.. and they don't work with the 
tools we're used to using, such as my scroll wheel and back/next buttons on my 
mouse.
 
I don't have time to try and work out how this particular designer has decided 
I should navigate their site. Maybe on a gaming or entertainment site, 
certainly not on a site I expect to use as a reference for my job.
 
Not to take anything away from the developer of that site, as it looks like a 
lot of work has gone into it for a free resource. Its just that one little 
gripe is enough for me not to use that site at all.

[cfaussie] Re: SQL question: conditional updating tables across databases

[Ryan Sabir]

Sorry you're right that should have been INSERT INTO. I didn’t know about the 
locking limitation though...

[cfaussie] Re: SQL question: conditional updating tables across databases

[Ryan Sabir]

Would something like this work?

SELECT * INTO dbTwo.users
FROM dbOne.users
WHERE dbOne.users.PK NOT IN (SELECT PK FROM dbTwo.users) AND (where clause)

[cfaussie] Getting into FLiP

[Ryan Sabir]

(Apologies if this comes through twice, the first post got lost 
along the way) 

Hey all,
 
I'm looking at using FLiP on an 
upcoming project. I've been googling around but can't find any detailed info on 
the methodology...
 
Is there a site that will take 
me through the process in detail? Or do I have to buy a 
book?
 
bye!

[cfaussie] Database deadlocks

[Ryan Sabir]

Hey all,
 
I've been getting this error on 
some of our busier sites:
 
-
Error Executing Database Query. 
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Transaction (Process ID 227) 
was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the 
deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction. The error occurred on line 
127.-
 
Asking about it I've been told 
that all SQL statements should be wrapped in transactions. Is this as simple as 
putting  tags around each block of queries, or is there 
more to it?
 
thanks.

[cfaussie] Re: [OT] Problems with XML/Flash

[Ryan Sabir]

Is 'testimonials_text' the name of the text field? Or the name of the variable 
bound to the text field? In which case you don't need the '.text' in the 
assignment.

Is the field definitely dynamic? Also not something silly like white text on 
white bg?

Do you need to embed characters into the field maybe? Try embedding all upper 
and lower case letters and numbers to see if it fixes the problem.

[cfaussie] Re: Simplified Chinese encoding [FIXED!]

[Ryan Sabir]

Hi all,
 
Thanks for your help with this.
 
Because this is a 
legacy site I was unable to change the character encoding from gb2312 to UTF-8. 
Also it was an Access database so my dsn options were 
limited.
 
What I did 
instead was basically strip the content-type information from the http header, 
and let the browser decide what encoding to use. I did this by simply adding the 
line '' to the top of the cfm 
page.
 
In the future 
I'll be using UTF-8 to avoid such issues.
 
bye!

  Ryan,I've only ever used UTF-8 in the past, as I found 
  working with any other encoding (either getting data into or out of the 
  database) to be pretty unreliable. SQL Server for instance isn't too good at 
  storing double-byte characters, but works with Unicode fine. The other 
  issue is forcing ColdFusion not to encode everything as Unicode by default. 
  You need to do this BEFORE the browser sees it (so in this case, the META tag 
  won't help you). Haikal's suggestion will probably do the trick (not that I 
  have tried it before). Darryl

When I look at this page:

All the chinese characters are coming up wrong, 
however, when I go to the View->Encoding menu and manually set the 
encoding to gb2312, it looks fine.
 
I have the 
 
 
line in there which is supposed to set the character 
encoding, but my browser is defaulting to Unicode.
 
This only started happenning when it moved from III5

setting I need to tweak to enable this?
 
thanks.

[cfaussie] Re: Simplified Chinese encoding

[Ryan Sabir]

Hmmm,
 
Not quite sure how cfprocessingdirective is supposed to work. Does this 
mean the text in my .cfm document should be in a different encoding? If so then 
this is not the case, as all text in the site comes from a 
database.
 
The strange thing is when I look at the site:
http://www.miller.com.au/index.cfm?&setlanguage=2
 
The Chinese characters look like garbage. 
If I manually change the page encoding to Simplified Chinese (gb2312) it looks 
fine.
 
If I then add the 
line:

 
The page still looks like garbage, but a 
different set of garbage. Strange thing is, now the page encoding in my browser 
is set to Simplified Chinese (gb2312), even thought its not displaying as 
such.
 
This all worked fine in CF5, whats the 
trick to getting it to work in CF7?
 
thanks.

  Not using UTF8? 
  Reading a ColdFusion page with 
a nondefault character encodingMacromedia 
recommends that you encode all international application pages as UTF-8 with 
a byte-order mark (BOM), so that ColdFusion automatically detects the page 
as UTF-8 encoded; no cfprocessingdirective tag is needed. The BOM sets the first byte of a UTF file, so 
the program reading the page recognizes which encoding is in use. 
If this is not possible, to specify that ColdFusion 
reads a page with a character encoding other than the Java default locale 
value, you use the cfprocessingdirective tag and pageencoding attribute, as follows:



Typically, you assign one of the following values to 
encoding :


  
  

EUC-JP 
  (Japanese)
  

EUC-KR 
  (Korean)
  

ISO-8859-1 (Western 
  European and English)
  

SHIFT_JIS

[cfaussie] OT: Best development laptop?

[Ryan Sabir]

Hey all,
 
Which laptop is the discerning 
web developers laptop of choice these days?
 
I'm looking to make myself more 
mobile and am wondering which road to head down.
 
My requirements in order of 
importance are:

    Large 
Screen
    Battery 
life
    Performance    Lightweight
 
What are you guys using? And 
sorry, but it needs to be a PC.. our work environment is very PC oriented 
in terms of software we own and use regularly (Enterprise Mgr, Access, 
Goldmine)
 
bye!

[cfaussie] Re: Maximum CFHTTP calls?

[Ryan Sabir]

Hmmm, found a bit more about this problem...
 
It wasn't the number of calls it was CFHTTP failing when it hit an https 
site. From then on all calls were failing...
 
Is this a known issue?

Are they on different servers? If they are on the same server, or between 2 
servers on the same LAN, you could use CFEXECUTE to kick off XCOPY to copy

[cfaussie] Configuring Cold Fusion for Flex 2.0

[Ryan Sabir]

Hey all,
 
I'm trying to get my host, 
WebCentral, to configure our server to allow use of the Flex - ColdFusion 
gateway.
 
Right now I'm getting an error 
saying its looking for a directory named 'flex2gateway'.
 
What do I need to tell the 
technician to do to get this set up? On our dev server, FlexBuilder did all this 
automatically, but its not clear what changes it made to the 
server.
 
thanks.
