RE: [KCFusion] Cold Fusion Server
Title: Message Robert, Ebay is the way to go, though you might want to search some of the other online auction sites like yahoo. You might want to see if you can find some good size used software stores in your area. Some of the local computer resellers that sell used may have a copy. Try posting to a few listservs like the CF-Talk list on www.houseoffusion.com, there may be people who are not using their old license any longer. If you are concerned with a legit version, which is good to hear for such an old product, you may want to look into the rules on upgrading. If you buy a used 4.5 and someone has used it to upgrade to 5/MX, I'm not sure who 'owns' the license. The 4.5 may be void after being upgraded. Which could cause you a problem should you choose to upgrade. Ryan -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of RobertSent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 9:11 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [KCFusion] Cold Fusion Server Hey all: I need to get my hands on a copy of CF Server, and i'm hoping atleast 4.5. I need to find it as cheap as possible and i'm wondering, can you upgrade a CF Server 4.0 to 4.5 for free or does that require a purchase? Anyone know? Anyone got any leads on finding the pro or ent version for dirt cheap? I've been checking Ebay and it looks like i'll end up paying several hundred for it, but I want the best deal I can get.

[KCFusion] Worldwide User Group Meeting - September 3
Hi- I have some very exciting news. For the very first time in Macromedia history, the company has decided to do a worldwide user group meeting and our group is going to participate. Using Macromedia's latest communication solution, Breeze Live, our User Group will participate in the meeting in real-time over the web. In addition to seeing the presentation online, we will be able to ask questions and interact with other User Groups and Macromedia. We also plan a really great giveaway that night to be raffled off to those that attend. So please mark your calendars for Wednesday, September 3 at 6:00 PM. I will be sending out another email with the complete agenda closer to the event. We will be meeting in a conference room at UMKC (near the Plaza). Thanks!

[KCFusion] CFMX 6.1 released
FYI, Macromedia has released the new CFMX 6.1. It is a free maintenance release/upgrade to CFMX owners and includes both fixes and enhancements to the existing platform. When you run pages for the first time (development for instance), the pages compile roughly 10 times faster, so much less waiting. It runs on more OS's including Redhat 9 and Windows 2003. It also includes significant enhancements to COM support, email, MS Access Unicode, etc. Should you upgrade now if you have MX 6.0? Yes...though you may want to wait a few days and review the changes that may affect your code. Should you upgrade from 4.5/5? If you were planning on upgrading anyway, go ahead. If you can't justify the upgrade and don't need the features of MX, then 6.1 probably won't make a big difference for you at this time. I have used the betas at home and it installs easily and appears to be quite stable. The number of complaints with the betas are few and far between.

[KCFusion] Hal & Topeka/Lawrence
Ben & Group, It would be great if Hal could speak to us in September. We can probably use a meeting room at UMKC that can seat 50 or so.

Ryan 913-317-8350, [EMAIL PROTECTED] As for meetings in Topeka or Lawrence... Sounds good, but if our recent attendance is any indication, we will have a very sparse room.

[KCFusion] Practice Macromedia Certification Exam - free
I was sent the following email today. It is for a free CFMX practice exam on the web. I took the exam and while I had some problems with the types of questions given and the phrasing of them, it was similar to the real thing. You may want to check out the site ASAP before the 'free' exam is no longer available. Likewise, if you are interested in learning and knowing where your strengths and weaknesses are, check out www.centrasoft.com. They offer a windows based CFMX exam prep with something like 700 questions. I think it is $40. I bought it a while back and used it briefly before taking the real exams. FYI, the real exams are available for CFMX Developer, Dreamweaver Developer & Flash (2 tests available, developer and designer) http://www.macromedia.com/support/training/certified_professional_program/ -Original Message- We recently launched the Beta of a web-based service that offers practice certification exams. Eventually, we will be charging for this service; however, while in Beta, it is free. Currently, the site only offers one practice ColdFusion MX exam, but we will be adding other ColdFusion exams as well as Dreamweaver and Flash exams in the next few weeks. I'd love it if you would send a note out to your user group announcing the opportunity to participate in our Beta program for free. I believe a lot of your members, especially those interested in taking a certification exam soon, will find the site very useful. http://www.learnbyheart.com - free CFMX exam online (practice) http://www.webucator.com - training __ The KCFusion.org list and website is hosted by Humankind Systems, Inc.

RE: [KCFusion] Updater 3
Jeff, I was unsuccessful at installing Updater 3 on one machine, but I think it was a windows problem. I had no problems on 2 other machines, but these were running MS SQL 2000 and not Oracle. I have not heard of any significant problems with U3 and Oracle, though I haven't been watching for them either. If you can survive this problem, Redsky (free upgrade) may fix it when it is available shortly. If not, see if you can uninstall U3 and move back to U2.

Macromedia FlashPaper Format http://www.macromedia.com/software/contribute/productinfo/flashpaper/ Changes to the EULA for Contribute 2.0 including a new software activation (http://www.macromedia.com/software/activation) feature and allowing 2 installations legally. I know...you are screaming 'Intuit/Turbo Tax'... I have been briefed by MM on this and they are rolling it out slowly to test it and get customer feedback, and it seems much better than Intuit's attempts. I actually can't find any major flaws in their implementation so far. It actually seems fair and well thought out! If you have any questions about the upcoming software activation, please feel free to ask me about it. In the meantime, I am pretty sure I have a copy of Contribute 1.0 that I will randomly give away to someone at the next ColdFusion user group meeting (i.e. please come to the meeting!).

[KCFusion] Macromedia recently announced that Spectra will be opensourced
FYI, this probably only effects a few of you at the bigger companies who use Spectra. -Original Message- Subject: From Christian Cantrell's blog - Macromedia recently announced th at Spectra will be opensourced > June 26, 2003 Macromedia Opensources Spectra Macromedia recently announced that Spectra will be opensourced, which means that you will be able to download the source code for free, and both build and deploy Spectra applications under the macromedia Spectra Software License, which is based on the Apache Software Foundation license. I haven't played with Spectra myself, however now that it looks like it might come back to life, I'll have to give it a shot. This is the full post that Tim Buntel made to the spectra-talk list yesterday: As you know, Macromedia announced in May 2001 that there would be no new feature-additive releases of Macromedia Spectra. To allow Spectra applications to run on top of ColdFusion MX, Spectra 1.5.2 was made available in December 2002 as an update release distributed through SpectraSource for existing Spectra 1.5.1 customers. Macromedia is now pleased to announce that the full source of Macromedia Spectra is to be released under a public open-source license. The source will be available as a free download with which you can build and redistribute Spectra applications as allowed by the Macromedia Spectra Software License (based on the Apache Software Foundation license). We plan to release the full product as soon as possible as a free download from the SpectraSource site (http://spectrasource.macromedia.com). The final scheduling is still being planned, but we anticipate release by fall of 2003. Watch SpectraSource for details as they become available. This notice will be posted there within the next day or so. If you have any questions or comments, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Macromedia Spectra Open-source FAQ What does this open source announcement mean for me? If you already have an investment in Spectra, you can maintain or expand your applications as well as benefit from the support of the Spectra community. If you do not have an investment in Spectra, give it a try - you can now use as many or as few parts of the framework as you like in your ColdFusion applications. What will the free download contain? The full Spectra product code will be available with the exception of several OEM technologies, namely the Ektron HTML editor and the Sybase SQL Anywhere database. Will this version require an existing installation of Spectra? Will it require ColdFusion MX? Details regarding the distribution have not yet been finalized, but our intention is to provide a version of Spectra that does not require anything besides ColdFusion. When will it be available? Final release scheduling is still being planned, but we anticipate release by this fall. Watch SpectraSource for more details. Will macromedia continue to offer technical support for Spectra? We will continue to provide technical support for Macromedia Spectra through December 31, 2003 to customers holding a purchased license of Spectra 1.5.1. Please note, however, that support will not be available if you modify the core application source code. How does Open Source compare to Community Source? Originally, Spectra was organized around a community source model where Macromedia owned the software source, but contributions come from the developer community and were vetted against the company's own standards, and then included in future releases. Once the open source version of Spectra is released, the complete source will be available as a free download with which you can build and redistribute Spectra applications as allowed by the Macromedia Spectra Software License (based on the Apache Software Foundation license).

[KCFusion] CFUN03 Recap (very brief)
CFUN-03 was held in a suburb of Washington, DC this weekend. The managers' meeting on Friday was attended by about a dozen managers. Topics covered including finding speakers, resolving problems, organization, etc. The Saturday/Sunday conference had over 300 people attending, 2 keynote speeches, and 40 (yes 40!) presentations, held 4 at a time during ten time spots. The majority of the material was ColdFusion centric with a number of sessions on Flash related functionality, fusebox, project management, object oriented coding, etc. Thank you Michael Smith of Teratech (www.teratech.com) for organizing the weekend!

RE: [KCFusion] Unexpected Loss of Session Variables
Title: Message While this is a far off chance, see if you can get a hold of the webserver and/or CF logs. With a shared server, you may be experiencing problems caused by other people's code, more specifically their CF. If they do something that causes the CF server to hang and restart, you will loose your session variables. With a shared solution, particularly with heavy loading and unlocked application/session variable access, the application server may be restarting. The logs should show evidence of coldfusion restarting. There is a setting in the CF administrator that allows you to set CF to restart after a set number of errors of some kind. I believe the default is 10 errors, though what kind of errors I do not recall. IF this is the case, the only way around it is with proper server sandbox configuration (if even that) or a dedicated environment (since you can't rely on everyone to write good code). This may not be the problem however. Also, look into using Client variables versus session variables. They are stored in a database versus Ram and are less susceptible to corruption and loss. I am not sure if you will loose your session anyway if the server restarts CF, but it might help. You can also look into dropping a short term cookie on the client's web browser to store a quasi session token. You can probably get around the cookie by using a unique (but not risky row identifier) value from the database and appending it to each page request/form submission. By using it, and forcibly storing the form variables immediately after each page submission, you can probably get away from using session variables. I wouldn't recommend this normally, but it may be a useful workaround. Ryan

RE: [KCFusion] Messenger Ads (OT)
Title: Message I use a 3Com modem at home, similar I am sure to what you have. You can probably restrict a range or individual. Likewise, you probably can tell it to restrict ALL but a certain set of them. 443 is the SSL port, 80 is http, 21 ftp, 22/23 are ssh i think. 1433 is SQL server. Try seeing if there is a way to restrict everything and then slowly open just the ports you need. Don't forget any ports for email (not sure which ports), AIM, ICQ, etc. Though you probably can lock these down until someone complains. At 03:24 PM 4/1/2003 -0600, you wrote:Our firewall (or so im told) is a linksys cable/dsl modem. It was set up by an outside contractor while I was still away at university. I can get in there and change the filters. At the moment it does not look to be filtering anything, but it only lets me filter a range of ports not individual ones.

[KCFusion] Web SIG meeting - March 26th, 6:30pm: Rich Internet Applications
FYI, there was a great turnout to our February meeting on a similar topic. If you are interested, feel free to attend. The Web SIG is part of the Heartland User Group (www.hugkc.org) and discusses web development as a whole and is not product/manufacturer specific. The Web SIG's listserv is linked below. Ryan -Original Message- From: Glenn Crocker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 3:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: March 26th, 6:30pm: Rich Internet Applications The March 26th (next Wednesday) Web SIG meeting topic is "Rich Internet Applications" (RIAs). Michael Falkner, of ThinqDigital (http://www.thinqdigital.com/) will be covering the concept of rich web-based applications. These generally include Flash front-ends and a web services (ColdFusion, .Net, ASP, etc.) approach to retrieving and storing information. Michael will be covering the possibilities, sample sites, and look at how the sites are built (with sample code). RIAs are amazing for presenting complex information and enabling users to interact quickly and in complex ways with data, products, and sites. For many sites, RIAs improve the user experience in ways traditional page-oriented web sites can't touch. ThinqDigital is the local Macromedia Authorized Training Partner, so this should be close to a "from the horse's mouth" kind of presentation, since Macromedia drives the client side (Flash) and often the server side (ColdFusion). March 26th, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at Technisource (formerly IntelliMark), 9300 W. 110th St, Suite 460. See you there!

[KCFusion] Session variable memory
I forgot to mention, you can delete both individual session variables (struct delete function?) and the whole session variable list for an individual (structclear?). You could attempt to delete all of them if they use a logout button, and some of them if they are no longer needed in the app. This may save some memory, though it won't delete all of the variables since not everyone will logout. Either way, shorten your session timeout period if you are concerned and you only need the session active for 15-45 minutes. Microsoft has a free loading tool that stress tests a website in any language. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/TechNet/itsolutio ns/intranet/downloads/webstres.asp?frame=trueYou You can stress test a developmental server with 100+ variables and hundreds of sessions. __ The KCFusion.org list and website is hosted by Humankind Systems, Inc.

RE: [KCFusion] session vars
Heck if I know, I have yet to actually build a website that had any significant loading on it :-) You might want to check your server settings (or your setup in the application.cfm) to see how long the session variables are good for before they expire. If its only 20-60 minutes, then how likely is it that you will have enough loading in 1 hour to cause a problem...Probably slim. I read a long time ago somewhere how to calculate variable ram usage, I might be wrong, but it was something like X number of bytes per letter of a string, etc. you could just as easily open up MS SQL, create a fake table with each variable name you are going to make into a session variable. Use nChar instead of Char (n tells it to use unicode, which uses twice the space as a normal character), etc. That way your estimates are worst case scenarios. If you add in a bit more space for the pointers and variable names, you might get a fair representation for variable size. For instance, if you have a string being saved as 20-40 characters, guess 40 characters of nChar, which takes 80 bytes. Add in say, 20? for the variable name and its pointer. 100B. Say you have 5 of these for a user (500). Now assume you have 15 variables with floating point values (4 bytes each I think, say, 16 for the name) 15*20=300. Add in a few integers, etc. You are probably at 1K for the user. Even if we double this to 2K for the user, that means 500 users in 1MB of ram. Say you have a server with 512mb of RAM, 170 for Windows, 40 for CFMX, 40 for SQL Server = 250. Leaving 250MB for session variables, coldfusion caching of queries, pages, source code, database queries, etc. Lets just say you have 50MB of memory for session variables, at 500 users per meg, that is 25 thousand users saving their variables in ram. I doubt seriously that most sites will get 25k+ users in <1 hour.I wouldn't worry about it. Sure, I can just hear the more anal of you questioning my very crude estimates :-), but for the average user, if they aren't saving queries, large record sets, and complex structures inside of session variables, my estimate is probably right on track.

RE: [KCFusion] CF mysteriously stopping/starting
The standard answer is to lock all your Client/Session & Application variables. Another solution that worked for me when this happened was to uninstall CF and reinstall it and the service packs.

RE: [KCFusion] MX Updater 2
I didn't have any problems with the first or second install. Are you sure that you stopped all (3) of the services that CF has running prior to installing the updater? If you didn't stop the services, maybe the system couldn't over write some of the classes with the same name. Likewise, since you are on Windows you shouldn't really be having a problem with case sensitivity, but I guess I could see where you might since maybe MM changed the file name convention to keep the Unix/Linux users happy. I haven't heard of any significant problems with the updaters. You have to make sure you that you told it the correct directories when you installed it and that is it. -Original Message- Subject: [KCFusion] MX Updater 2 We are having trouble getting the updater 2 for CFMX to work on windows. It looks like it installs fine but then some of the class file can't be created due to files with the same names but different case, i.e. CFusionMX\europa\cfusionMXwwwroot\WEB-INF\cfclasses\cfselect2ecfm313770878.c lass and CFSELECT2ecfm313770878.class. We just removed the older file and its working. This doesn't seem like a very clean install for an update. Has anyone else heard of this happening? Is Macromedia fixing this? Thanks for the reponses to our various questions in the last week while trying to get the MX upgrade running.

RE: [KCFusion] CFGrid not loading
Tom, Sadly, I have had problems with CFGrid in the past. It seems as if most of the people I have corresponded with have had problems with it. To my knowledge no significant enhancements or fixes were made between 4.5, 5, and MX. Try clearing your cache on both the server (IIS may require rebooting) and client browser. Also, check which versions of the Java runtime are acceptable to CFMX and which are installed. I know for 4.5 and 5 there were problems with the grid and a few other components needing versions of java that were superceded by newer ones (that weren't compatible). This probably isn't your problem since the tree works and it uses java, but maybe it uses different functions. Ryan __ The KCFusion.org list and website is hosted by Humankind Systems, Inc.

[KCFusion] What Contribute is - synopsis
>From MM's site "Macromedia Contribute is the easiest way to update content for any HTML website, including sites built in Macromedia Dreamweaver, Microsoft FrontPage, and other web tools. With Contribute, non-technical users can make changes while automatically respecting site standards for style, layout, and code in minutes-without knowing HTML" Essentially, it is a dumbed down version of Dreamweaver, that facilitates minor text and graphic updating of websites by non-techies. Administrators, through Contribute or Dreamweaver can setup permissions/security for their website as well as marking which part of pages can and can't be modified by others. Then, through a simple $100 interface (Contribute), average PC users can update the text on their sites (both static and to some extent dynamic) without fear of breaking style sheets, look and feel, server side code, etc. I believe it is intended as a maintenance mechanism versus a website design/creation tool. Many organizations have a need for the whole group to be able to publish changes to their site, but don't want the complexity or risk associated with them having access to the root .cfm, .html, .php, etc. files. __ The KCFusion.org list and website is hosted by Humankind Systems, Inc.

[KCFusion] Shopping Carts
From: johnny sewell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Folks, I live in Lenexa and have attended a few of the KCMUG User Group Meetings but the only CF meeting I attended was when Mike Downey from Macromedia was in town in September. I think that was a combined CF/KCMUG meeting but not sure. I am using the MX package. My main occupation is flying business jets but I have been doing a few static HTML websites since Dreamweaver 2. I have now two requests for doing shopping cart sites and since I haven't used CF yet or done much beyond simple relational database stuff I bought the Cartweaver package done in CF for the helping speed up this process. Is anyone here using Cartweaver? I have bought two books by Ben Forta. The little "Teach Yourself SQL in 10 minutes" and the BIG ColdFusion MX Web Application Construction Kit. I also have a little more time right now to do this. I had a liver transplant 2/13/03 at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL and won't be able to go back to flying for at least 6 months and probably won't be able to do anything other than work at home (or here at the hotel for the next 2-3 weeks). So much for the introduction. I hope to be at the meeting next month. Thanks, Johnny __ The KCFusion.org list and website is hosted by Humankind Systems, Inc.

RE: [KCFusion] CGI vars and MX
Check your Administrator settings for CF. When you install CFMX by default, not all of the debugging options are turned on automatically. I believe Application and Settings?

Re: [KCFusion] uuid
I think someone like Robin might know this better, but you might want to check the spec's on UUIDs and how they are generated. I think they are hardware and timestamp dependent. Since you will probably be generating the values on the same hardware, you might find that the first X number of characters might just be the same or similar.You may want to consider generating the UUID, grabbing the first say, 10 characters, then add 2 random characters onto it using a randomizer and the remaining UUID values as the seed (or some such weird algorithm). But, check the spec's, you may be fine. At 10:30 AM 2/18/2003 -0600, you wrote: Is there still a pretty high degree of uniqueness if I only used the first 12 characters of a UUID as a primary key?

[KCFusion] KCFusion User Group Meeting Announcement - February 11th, 6pm - Pizza & Coke will be available
KC CF'ers, We will be holding our next user group meeting this coming Tuesday, February 11th at 6pm. It will be held in the offices of Corporate Communications Group, Inc. - 10975 Benson Drive, Suite 150 - Bldg 12 (Corporate Woods) in Overland Park. You can find the building by driving south on Antioch to 109th Street and turning right into Corporate Woods (first building on your left), or entering one of the main entrances on College Boulevard and heading towards Antioch. It is a three story bluish green building on a hill. Pizza and Coke will be supplied at this meeting, but donations are accepted and rsvp's are appreciated. We will be demonstrating the bear basics (an introduction to) Macromedia's Flash Communications Server and Flash Remoting (using CFMX). Flashcomm is a server side, Actionscript enabled server that serves audio, video, and dynamic applications to a Flash Player client. Flash Remoting is a set of connection technologies built into CFMX and available for J2EE and .Net (and possibly PHP in the future) that enable the Flash Player to act as an interface for rich applications. By combining the cross platform capability and features of Flash with dynamic data generation on the server websites can finally step away from the limitations of JavaScript and html. Depending on member interest, we may hold a more in depth discussion of the technologies at future meetings. Typical meetings consist of 30-60 minutes of informal presentations with peer discussions before and afterwards. Dress is casual, guests are welcome and prior experience/knowledge of Flash is not necessary. Macromedia specific door prizes will be given away during the meeting. If you have any questions or get lost finding the meeting, please call.

RE: [KCFusion]
Title: Message Adaryl, I have never streamed video, so am not really sure, but I think the reason you need a special server is because the ftp and http protocols that you would use otherwise (or at least the server) try and download the whole massive file to the client in a big chunk. Even if the chunks are spread out, if the server sends them too quickly to the client, the client will be overwhelmed. Likewise, users are used to being able to rewind, pause, etc., and I think these are features missing in typical web servers. I assume (big assume here) that the streaming servers can chunk out what it needs to, at speeds dictated (by request) from the clients. Flashcomm is rather expensive (though I don't know what its competition costs) and has a few problems that are still being worked out (it is in its first version). I haven't used it, other than installing it, but you might want to check out the Flashcomm chat list on chattyfig.figleaf.com.

RE: [KCFusion] Macromedia Studio MX
Title: Message I don't believe I have heard of any problems with Studio MX and CF5. (only minor ones the other way around). The trick will be to remember that some of the features/tags in Studio won't work in CF5, likewise the CFCs. So you may have a tendency to write code that is not 5 compatible. This shouldn't be a big problem and its a good chance to start working on code for MX. A plus: the Windows version of Studio MX includes a developer version of CFMX, which can coexist on a server with CF5. Though it only permits a single IP address to connect, it is a good way for you and other developers with copies of studio to write and test code on stand alone versions of CFMX prior to buying the upgrade.

RE: [KCFusion] SQL and Studio problem
Someone can correct me on this, but I think you should be fine converting your fields from nvarchar to varchar. Access either doesn't, or didn't used to support Unicode, and up until CFMX, CF didn't either. So if your applications are webcentric, are not using CFMX and/or not unicode specific, and you don't have to worry about foreign characters, go for it. Make sure when you change fields from nchar to char etc. that you make sure you aren't truncating the fields. Backup first! Likewise, because these changes may occur in primary and foreign key fields, you may have problems changing one table without conflicting with another, so you will probably need to schedule these changes for a down time when you can turn off the website and prevent users from accessing the database while you make the changes and test them. At 04:30 PM 12/18/2002 -0600, you wrote: Unicode? Six months ago this db was in Access 2000, and I used the MS upsizing wizard to convert it to SQL 7. Don't remember anything in the wizard about unicode. How annoying. Unless there's some reason to use unicode in that field -- highly unlikely -- I'd rather just change the data type to plain text.

Re: [KCFusion] SQL and Studio problem
nvarchar (or nchar) are for unicode fields. They take twice the space to store as non-unicode fields. So a field that is '80' wide is 40 characters of data that take 2 bytes per character. You are hitting the size limitation when you jump from 40 to 41/42 characters and then it is doubling. Try changing your nvarchar field to 160. Ryan At 04:13 PM 12/18/2002 -0600, you wrote: I'm using CF Studio 5 on Win2000, and our db is MS SQL 7 on NT 4. One of my apps started acting up when a user tried to enter a long client name in a form. An error about right truncation. Studio's db tab told me that field was 80 characters wide (nvarchar). But it kept choking on a 42-character name. I went back to our server room and checked field widths from the Enterprise Manager. Each field there shows a value half of what Studio tells me. So my 80-character field will only take 40. Easy enough to change but what's up with the misrepresentation? It does not do this with other data types.

[KCFusion] No December meeting, reschedule for January
CF Users, As you read earlier this week, we had to reschedule/cancel the meeting at the last minute because of some unfortunate problems with our meeting location. I was hoping to reschedule for next week, but a number of difficulties have prevented it (busy holiday schedule for everyone, lack of finding a place and informing you quickly enough, and a lack of KNOWN interest on your behalf). We will tentatively plan the meeting on Flash Remoting for January. As an added incentive, I have a number of giveaways that I will share at that meeting. As a side note, while I can completely understand the human tendency for lurking on these lists, it is difficult to maintain this group, plan meetings, etc. with the minimal participation, support, and even interest that the majority show. If anyone would like to volunteer to help out, I would appreciate it. Comments, suggestions, and feedback would be nice.

RE: [KCFusion] Tuesday's meeting is CANCELLED!
Apparently the lease was/is up on the building in question. Due to a lack of available office space (or the right set) for them to move to, the offices (University of semi-Excellence) will remain there for a short period of time. I presume that the crews that were scheduled to uninstall all of the training equipment in the multiple training rooms were not put on hold. Either way, as much as I like picking on Sprint, I doubt it was directly their fault. These things happen. If we had known about it a few days ago we could have found a projector and alternative equipment. Joe Pickering is looking into using his office meeting room (very nicely decorated) in Corporate Woods and should know in 2-3 days.

RE: [KCFusion] coldfusion mx tags
Matt, Check out the 'preferences' in Dreamweaver MX, there is a way of setting up the program to look and act very close to Homesite/CF Studio as opposed to a designer tool. Most people get to liking it after a few hours/weeks of use and actually prefer the power to Studio. Also, if you experience speed problems, turn off the directory refreshing in your site setup.

RE: [KCFusion] Server Problem
You have me stumped there. I have used SSL and generally haven't had problems with it. I don't recall any that were image specific at least. Do check that your references to the image files either include 'http://' or have the right path structure. When your users switch from http to https, you loose your session management, and possibly your path structures/nesting for include files etc. Simple way should be to check the broken image links by right clicking them and make sure that the path is correct, verify by copying the path into the web browser and trying it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of cfhelp Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 7:00 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [KCFusion] Server Problem OK..

If somehow your menu system starts calling itself and generating the menu inside of other calls, then the include files will start stacking up. I think I have only experienced this with frames however. If that is the case, it probably isn't a function of time and the machine acting up, but instead it is a function of when your users request pages in the right sequence to cause the nesting.

Rick, I have occasionally had problems when using nested 'include' files, particularly if you are using frames on the website. I believe that Include files treat images as if they are being pulled from the level of the include file versus the parent file (though it may be the other way around). If you have frames, or include files, included by other include files, etc., the paths to the images may be wrong. Try right clicking on the broken images and looking at the path for them. You may find that the image was trying to come from /images/images/images/whatever.jpg. Ryan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of cfhelp Sent: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 9:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [KCFusion] Server Problem One of my websites (there are about 10 on the server) runs fine for about 6-8 hours maybe longer and then the images all come up broken. I have been running down errors in the Event Viewer and CF Logs I solved most of them but the images still break. When this happens performance of the site is not affected and the other sites are fine.

There may be a problem with this extensible counter or the service it is collecting data from or the system may have been very busy when this call was attempted. Anyone else seen this and has a fix?

RE: [KCFusion] messed up indexes in sql server
Also, look into a few of the other DBCC commands that force the database to check itself and reset the statistics. I think DBCC Statistics or something like that will regenerate the statistics for each table. Since your production tables may have a completely different ratio of inserts/deletes to updates, etc., it is possible that the statistics that manage where the data is, and hence how the tables are indexed, etc. may be really out of whack. FYI, the reindexing and statistics MIGHT require that your database be in single user mode, I know that some of the table verification/corruption checking checks require this. If so, you pretty much have to disconnect everyone and all processes from the server in order to run them. There are some flags that you can flip that will force people off of the system. I have these commands written up at work if you need them sometime Monday or Tuesday. Ryan __ The KCFusion.org list and website is hosted by Humankind Systems, Inc.

[KCFusion] December 10th Meeting - Flash Remoting
KC ColdFusion Users: Our next meeting will be at 6pm on December 10th at the Sprint School of Excellence off of I435 & Roe in Overland Park. Our hosts for the evening will be the KC Macromedia Tools Group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KCMUG/). The meeting will be an introduction and brief demonstration of Flash Remoting using ColdFusion. Flash Remoting is a new technology built into CFMX (available for .Net & J2EE) that provides the functionality for Flash 6/MX to create Rich Interface Applications. Using Flash MX, a developer can create dynamic websites with significantly more functionality and far better cross browser & platform compatibility than a traditional HTML interface. The flash movie then interacts via function calls to the server platform (CF, .Net, J2EE) to send and receive data.

RE: [KCFusion]
Title: Message Macromedia knows of this problem. Apparently, the APIs for the new version of Apache keep changing and they are forced to recompile and distribute the changes in order to keep MX working. I heard late last week that they were going to post some form of source file that users will be able to recompile on their own in order to fix this problem whenever Apache changes and breaks the system. They were hoping for soon, being a few weeks, but no actual expected date for the availability of this patch was publicized. This falls under the category of an Apache problem with MM trying hard to help the users.

Randy, Unfortunately, I am not.

[KCFusion] ...in the works...
FYI I'm working on some presentation materials for a possible meeting next week on CFC's (a new way of writing functions in CFMX). Hopefully we can arrange a meeting for early next week at either the UMKC location or southern Overland Park. I am also working with the MM Tools group in town to put together a presentation and demo on Flash Remoting for November. Flash Remoting allows you to use Flash to create a cross platform front end/rich user interface that can interact with a backend server like CF (or J2EE, .Net, etc.) to create dynamic applications that give you the capabilities of Flash for the interface instead of the typical html and horrible to debug javascript. I am also working on a number of book reviews that hopefully I can start sending out in the next few week. Ryan __ The KCFusion.org list and website is hosted by Humankind Systems, Inc.

In the meantime, feel free to ignore the spam like the other 30-50 you receive a day (or click on the ad, find out the company, and spam them to death if you so choose). Sorry, Ryan
[KCFusion] Flash Remoting - maintaining session state
I am considering using a Flash (MX) front end and Flash Remoting as the client for a CF application. I will need a user to enter a username/password combination in a flash window and login to the server. I have been unable to find out how Flash and Remoting handle sessions between the flash client and the server. I know that Flash can store cookies on the client side, and that it has the ability to pass sessions via the old post/get methods, but it is unclear if the new remoting features pass some form of session key (CFID/CFTOKEN/JSESSIONID) to the server automatically on all remoting calls. Q: Does Flash automatically pass a token, cookie, etc. to the server on all Remoting calls like a normal HTML page does with cookies (that store the token information)?

RE: [KCFusion] tuples, keys, and argumentative university academics!
Title: Message Adaryl, I have no idea from a 'book' sense. And I would say that you COULD say that the masterID and userName are both unique, but heck, you could also SAY that the fName and/or the LName uniquely identify the record. You could just as easily say the password is unique if you have determined that through either business logic or SQL uniqueness that the password is the key value. While either side may be correct from a purely book sense, I think it is more important to consider what the use of the data will be. There may be a benefit to separating the first and last names from the username and password. U&P both indicate a login method, the first and last name are part of the individual's contact information and would probably make more sense to be stored with addresses, phone numbers, etc. You would then use the masterID to tie the two tables together.

RE: [KCFusion] deletes on database?
Yes, I think most of us, myself included tend to forget the list is here. I know the vast majority never post and are hiding in the woodwork. I'm working on a few things to change this! If you have the need for multiple SQL commands together, in 1 transaction it may be easier to put it in a stored procedure. Execution speed for complex code is another good reason. Because your boss doesn't like you and wants to make your life miserable by turning you into a CF only coder (versus CF & SQL) who has to bow and beg to an SQL coder...well, that's another reason :-) The response (and readership) of the newsletter from last month was less than enthusiasticat least as far as I know. Your direct feedback to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] will assist me in the writing of the next one. __ The KCFusion.org list and website is hosted by Humankind Systems, Inc.

[KCFusion] Possibilities for the next meeting
Glad someone asked! I have two ideas and was hoping to have the meeting next week, but at this rate I doubt it will happen. 1) Demonstration on installing/configuring the ActiveEdit (or similar) custom tags that make HTML/WYSIWYG editors available in a web browser. Then how to insert them into your CF programs, retrieve and save the data for later html display. 2) Discussion and demonstration of a system for sales reps to pre-engineer a material handling system. Website (for private use of sales reps) prompts for system design information, dynamically asks different questions, and then creates a parts list to 'build' the system. Parts list is saved in CF and then a Perl program running in Linux runs, calls an API for a product called PDF-Lib that will generate a PDF file on the fly. End result, sales reps have a 10 page unique bid proposal created on the fly. System uses the 'zlayer' attribute in HTML/CSS to layer html on top of graphics, JavaScript, perl, Postures (database) & PDF-Lib (www.pdflib.org) running on Linux. As it stands now, we have two possible venues (if available when we request it) A) one in an office in southern Overland Park with a capacity of about 10 B) the other our normal meeting space in the Admin building of UMKC (near the Plaza), capacity of 10 or 50+, room specific. I have not received confirmation of willingness nor availability for #1. I am pretty sure my employers would have no problem with me demonstrating #2 but would need to check. To all: Do you prefer 1 or 2, A or B, and if possible, next Tuesday or Wednesday. Please indicate if you intend to come if the topic/location/date would work for you, Thanks Ryan To those of you who have not participated in our (usually) monthly meetings. For the past year+ the meetings have typically been informal with a planned presentation lasting 30-60 minutes and constant Q&A and side conversations during and afterwards. It is a great way for you to meet other local CF programmers, hear about projects, methods of coding and performing work, etc. The attendance has usually hovered between 4-10 people though I am attempting to raise this. __ The KCFusion.org list and website is hosted by Humankind Systems, Inc.
