cfselect bind loading indicator?
Is there a way to indicate via a loading icon or something when a cfselect is updating its binding? When you make a selection on the first cfselect, if there's a slight delay in the second cfselect updating its options, it can be a bit off-putting.

Personally, I only ever use an alias if the original name is even a little obscure (i.e. sn for surname).

Re: Inconsistent Variable Names Across Data Sources
What are you looking to accomplish? Are each of these databases running separate systems? Are you looking for one global interface to manage the exact same data in each database? I would say, if these systems are separate and distinct you should just leave them as is. If they are talking to each other and updates to one are done to updates to all you should probably create a common object to handle the core data and an adapter that knows how to talk to each database. -jeff We have several data sources such as Active Directory, home-built databases and purchased databases.

RE: Inconsistent Variable Names Across Data Sources
Sometimes, I have to join across all three datasources to get the data I need. For example, I need Active Directory, to get a list of current domain accounts. This is then joined to data exports from our business system to get HR information. Finally, this is joined to our ID Card database. Each of these datasources has a field for a person's last name. Active Directory: sn Bus Sys Exports: LAST_NAME ID Card DB: LastName Therefore, I have three different options for specifying a column name for a person's last name. I have to choose one. In this example, I would probably choose the sn from Active Directory since it would be the controlling data entity. I would probably alias sn to lastName in my CF code, in this example. However, if I only need to query Active Directory, and no other data sources, would I still alias the column or not? In other words, regardless of consistency, if my query doesn't include lastName, yet most of the CF code uses lastName, should I not always alias the column? That is my question. However, no matter what I choose for my CF variable, I will not match the column names from the other two data sources. m!ke -Original Message- From: Bobby Hartsfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2008 10:20 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Inconsistent Variable Names Across Data Sources What is there to say really?

Active Directory: sn Bus Sys Exports: LAST_NAME ID Card DB: LastName Therefore, I have three different options for specifying a column name for a person's last name. I have to choose one. In this example, I would probably choose the sn from Active Directory since it would be the controlling data entity. I would probably alias sn to lastName in my CF code, in this example. However, if I only need to query Active Directory, and no other data sources, would I still alias the column or not? In other words, regardless of consistency, if my query doesn't include lastName, yet most of the CF code uses lastName, should I not always alias the column? That is my question. However, no matter what I choose for my CF variable, I will not match the column names from the other two data sources. m!ke -Original Message- From: Bobby Hartsfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2008 10:20 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Inconsistent Variable Names Across Data Sources What is there to say really?

Re: SOT: Holy Grail? Hosting?
When you connect via RD, does everything appear to be functioning properly on the server? Can you connect to your site via localhost directly on the server? CF Service running? Can you ping the server from your workstation? My server is set up to use Plesk control panel so all the sites go through that. Yeah, I know it's kind of sucky, but I'm hosting a bunch of sites for family members, some of which also use Frontpage Extensions, so was an easy way to go, and I generally am able to work around some of its annoying limitations. But in this case, it seems that the Plesk installation got fried in the whole update process as well and I still can't get any response from my host about what is going on, if he is working on it, how long that will be, etc. So I'm getting a backup of my site up in another location as soon as I can. --- Mary Jo ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:299346 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Yes, but all the last name values should match throughout our databases, therefore, it doesn't really matter which exact column I choose, as long as I choose one of them. Someone else may have touched on the best answer. Many programmers may not know what sn is, but they should all know what lastName is.

Re: Using __type__ to return objects to Flex
No, not that I've found. But it's simple to inflate the generic
objects into typed objects in AS. Just add a static
createFromProperties(o:Object):AddressBook method that will copy
properties from the passed object into a new instance of the strongly
typed object, and then when you get your ArrayCollection in Flex, loop
over the elements and inflate each one.
var ac:ArrayCollection = event.result;
for (var i:int = 0; i ac.length; i++) {
ac[i] = AddressBook.createFromProperties(ac[i]);
}
It's not really elegant, but it's simple, and mandatory with how slow
CF is at creating CFC instances.

RE: SEO / website organization
From a SEO perspective which is better: ... I don't think it'll make any difference what you do in those three cases. In general, what works well for SEO is what works well for users. SEO-friendly URLs are also more user-friendly. Since search engines don't release their algorithms, and they're constantly changing said algorithms, the best you can generally do is to provide good, well-organized, user-friendly content. The SEO specialists, for the most part, are a lot like shamans divining the future from entrails. Alternatively, you can spend a lot of time examining how your competitors' pages work, and then do what they're doing. Of course, you have to revisit this quite frequently, as what works well changes.

Re: SEO / website organization
Generally speaking, it's impossible to say. For one, search engines don't really reveal their secrets. Also, all the search engines do it differently. Now, with that said, I can only recommend that you go with your gut. Mine says this is best: lakers.gottickets.com or lakers.basketball.sports.gottickets.com (where basketball.sports.gottickets.com would also resolve). for folders: /sports/basketball/lakers/ or /sports/basketball/lakers/tickets/ for file names, leave the file name off. make it look like directory structures (makes it feel more permanent). The easiest way to fake this out is a URL rewriting web server plugin. This way, you can map these URI directories to a single (or handful, etc) cfm file in the background and gives you the easiest customer discoverability, where they can feel like they could type in /sports/baseball/ and still be successful. Again, this is not more right (nor wrong, probably) than any one else's suggestions. -- nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ On Feb 19, 2008 2:40 PM, Jaysen Pollard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a ticket site. http://www.GotTickets.com From a SEO perspective which is better: #1.

How to sort columns and Group them at the same time
Hi: The main problem here is: I have a table of orders. Several users may order one Pet(this a part of a pet shop) but one will get it.

Re: Using __type__ to return objects to Flex
Hmmm...not too sure what you mean by this. I had the code setup in a DAO gateway, so the cfcomponent alias=AddressBook was in an AddressBook.cfc (the code I posted was a cffunction in AddressBookGateway.cfc). In my AS class, I have [RemoteClass(alias=AddressBook)] to handle the class that is returned from CF (and convert it to the correct AddressBook class). In the code, I'm trying to return an array of AddressBook objects (thus the array that I'm returning). If I do a createobject for CF AddressBook objects and put it in an array, it correctly returns an array of AddressBook objects back to AS; however, if I use the __type__ and a struct of the other variables (even with correct camelCasing), it returns an array of generic objects. If I try a returntype of AddressBook[] from CF, it states that it is not a valid AddressBook (which makes sense as it hasn't been converted yet). If I can only return one item back to AS from CF using this method, I'll probably just stick with the method I was using before (as creating one object vs. one struct isn't going to make a big difference), but if it can send multiple items back as VOs, then that's what I'm looking for. There's something I'm missing between the gateway and the AS. If, as Barney states, it is the LiveCycle intermediary, then I'm fresh out as my company won't pony up for that, but if there's something else that I'm missing that can do the conversion via AMF, then I'm all ears :) Thanks. Gareth sorry pressed send too soon. To finish that sentence : The only thing I see that is odd about your posted code is that you are returning an array, so on the flex side you need to make sure that you are compiling an instance of your VO into the application or you will get a generic object...

RE: The GetTimeZoneInfo() function
That is correct, the querant only asked about timezone, however, if we limit
our responses to just 'what the querant asked about' there may be a world of
solutions that the querant had not even anticipated, hence the further
reference I had made to find out what the need was for.
As for timezone...
When I do this line of code:
var currentTime = new Date();document.getElementById('writedate').innerHTML
= currentTime;
I get this result in FF:
Tue Feb 19 2008 20:11:51 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)
That appears to contain a timezone reference both by name and by GMT count.

RE: CSS Question
Jake,
Ok, I've been playing around for the last 2 hours and can't get it to work.
For example, in the following header both displays on the screen and
prints. What am I doing wrong?

media=screen will be screen specific and media=all is for both. A lack

I understand how to make fields invisible, but is there a way to have a
field display on the screen, but become invisible when printed? For
example, can I set one stylesheet for Display and another for printing?

Re: The GetTimeZoneInfo() function
That's neat, it also works with IE7. Now, I'm a bit scare of script kitty, not
this one or the like.
That is correct, the querant only asked about timezone, however, if we limit
our responses to just 'what the querant asked about' there may be a world of
solutions that the querant had not even anticipated, hence the further
reference I had made to find out what the need was for.
As for timezone...
When I do this line of code:
var currentTime = new Date();document.getElementById('writedate').innerHTML
= currentTime;
I get this result in FF:

Re: Using __type__ to return objects to Flex
Sorry I guess I wasn't clear, you absolutely can return arrays of typed structs and have them converted for you. That's the main point of doing this. You can return thousands of objects in arrays, and it is ridiculously faster then creating cfcs, you do not need LCDS to do this. I mentioned the array because in Flex if you don't have an instance of the AddressBook object compiled into the app, it will come in as a generic object. But if it works when you return arrays of vos that were created with CreateObject, then that's not the problem. Is the AddressBook.cfc in your webroot or is it under some path? This : [RemoteClass(alias=AddressBook)] will only work (with this method) if AddressBook is in your webroot, if you use CreateObject it will work without the fully qualified path, but if you want to use this typed struct method you have to use the full path. So if your AddressBook is actually in com.vo.AddressBook then you have to use struct['__type__'] = 'com.vo.AddressBook' and [RemoteClass(alias=com.vo.AddressBook)] Sorry if I am making it sound more complicated then it is, but it basically boils down to making sure your __type__ is fully qualified and matches your alias. On Feb 19, 2008 5:15 PM, Gareth Arch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hmmm...not too sure what you mean by this. I had the code setup in a DAO gateway, so the cfcomponent alias=AddressBook was in an AddressBook.cfc (the code I posted was a cffunction in AddressBookGateway.cfc). In my AS class, I have [RemoteClass(alias=AddressBook)] to handle the class that is returned from CF (and convert it to the correct AddressBook class). In the code, I'm trying to return an array of AddressBook objects (thus the array that I'm returning). If I do a createobject for CF AddressBook objects and put it in an array, it correctly returns an array of AddressBook objects back to AS; however, if I use the __type__ and a struct of the other variables (even with correct camelCasing), it returns an array of generic objects. If I try a returntype of AddressBook[] from CF, it states that it is not a valid AddressBook (which makes sense as it hasn't been converted yet). If I can only return one item back to AS from CF using this method, I'll probably just stick with the method I was using before (as creating one object vs. one struct isn't going to make a big difference), but if it can send multiple items back as VOs, then that's what I'm looking for. There's something I'm missing between the gateway and the AS. If, as Barney states, it is the LiveCycle intermediary, then I'm fresh out as my company won't pony up for that, but if there's something else that I'm missing that can do the conversion via AMF, then I'm all ears :) Thanks. Gareth sorry pressed send too soon. To finish that sentence : The only thing I see that is odd about your posted code is that you are returning an array, so on the flex side you need to make sure that you are compiling an instance of your VO into the application or you will get a generic object...

RE: CSS Question
OK. Not sure what happened. But now it is working in IE and FireFox,
although FireFox displays the data differently. More playing I guess.
Is there a way I can set headers and footers and set page size and
orientation via a Print button?
