Re: Forums using CFCs?
Lol... Sorry, I didn't mean to start a debate on whether-or-not Galleon is CFC based (I never stated it wasn't). Yes, it is CFC-based (or cfD, or CFQ, with moo.cfc integration :) ) - what I was really looking for is options. It seems that your two choices for a coldfusion forum are CFMBB and Galleon - I've looked at both and to reiterate they aren't really what we're looking for. Basically I'm looking for a very simple CFC-based forum - I don't need nor want RSS, bbtext, attachments, etc but I do want something that has threads, replies, and scrubs input. Does anyone know of other forums for Coldfusion? think he was saying the others did not have the feature set he was looking for. that is why I posted my question!! because in reality his request does not really say much about what he is looking for except it should be simple and cfc based. and yes Galleon is CFC based. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:336151 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Forums using CFCs?
I know I'm kicking a dead dog asking about forums, but I need current information so please bear with me. :) I'm currently working on a project where a forum is desired, and I'm hoping someone has developed something that we can use rather than reinventing the forum yet again :). This forum should be very simple - allow posts, reply to post, and some moderation/administration tools. It is important that whatever we use is heavily CFC-based - our framework is entirely OOP/CFC based and a series of CFMs would be very out-of-place. We have looked at Galleon and CFBB, and they're just not what we're looking for.

(ot) International countries and states/provinces/administrative div. database
For the life of me I cannot find a complete international Countries/States database... The best I have found is the GeoDataSource World Cities database, but I'm having a hard time feeling comfortable with assuming a SELECT DISTINCT state,country would return a match for EVERY state,country in the world; also I'm missing abbreviation data from this database.

Hi everyone, does anyone have any recommendations for a CSS editor for eclipse galileo?

Coldbox - mxunit testing database interaction
I'm just starting to get into Coldbox and I'm encountering some confusion as to
how to *really* test my models and database interaction.
So I have the following handler function which is fired upon form submission:
cffunction name=editAction
cfargument name=event type=any
cfscript
var rc = arguments.event.getCollection();
var demoModelObj = getModel('demoModel');
demoModelObj.editUserObj(rc);
runEvent('demoApp.list');
/cfscript
/cffunction
... which calls the following model function:
cffunction name=editUserObj
cfargument name=rc type=struct required=true hint=request
collection /
cfscript
if (structKeyExists(rc,'userID')) {
instance.usersObj.load(rc.userID);
instance.usersObj.setAll(rc);
instance.usersObj.save();
}
/cfscript
/cffunction
This all works fine and dandy (at least for a 'hello world' coldbox application
- I know this code is lacking in a number of places). So now I'm trying to set
up a mxunit test to test the behaviors of the handler, but I'm coming to a
blank when I try to come up with an assertion for this... I could bundle the
whole test up in a cftransaction, and rollback when I'm done - I get that, but
the problem is I don't see how to test this w/o writing twice as much code
within the test. Take the following beginning of a unit test:
cffunction name=testEditAction
cfargument name=event type=any
cfscript
var event = ;
var rc = '';
// set up fake form submission
rc.userID = 1;
rc.userName='testUser';
rc.password = 'testPass';
rc.departmentID_fk = 1;
event = execute(demoApp.edit);
rc = event.getCollection();
debug(rc);
// what to do here?
/cfscript
/cffunction
... what kind of assertions can I make at the 'what to do here?' line? Is there
an easy way to get at instance.usersObj from the model's method, or do I have
to have my model return it (seems wrong to have the model return just to allow
for debugging)? Am I totally missing the short-bus here? Any insight would be
greatly appreciated!

Re: Coldbox - mxunit testing database interaction
Thanks for the response Matt. I'll repost this there. In the meantime for
anyone else viewing this thread, what I'm struggling with is finding out if the
save occurred successfully. Maybe the answer is that I should be unit testing
the model directly and ignoring this test within the handler's unit tests.
Here's what I'm thinking this unit test should look like (partial pseudo-code):
cffunction name=testEditAction
cfargument name=event type=any
cfscript
var event = ;
var rc = '';
var testObj = '';
// set up fake form submission
rc.userID = 1;
rc.userName='testUser';
rc.password = 'testPass';
rc.departmentID_fk = 1;
event = execute(demoApp.edit);
rc = event.getCollection();
debug(rc);
testObj = createObject('component','path.to.users');
testObj.load(rc.userID);
assertEquals(testObj.get('username'),rc.username,'usernames are not equal.');
assertEquals(testObj.get('password'),rc.password,'passwords are not equal.');
/cfscript
/cffunction
... but you can see how this is a MUCH bigger function than what I'm actually
trying to test. If I used this approach in a more complex scenario, I could see
it taking twice as long to write the test than it did to write the
functionality I'm trying to test... Seems like a losing battle - I'm hoping I'm
missing something?
Thanks!
Jake,
I would highly recommend posting this question to the ColdBox and/or MXUnit
groups (links below). You are almost guaranteed to get a much greater
response from those than you will from CF-Talk.
/0.02
I would offer a suggestion, but I'm honestly not exactly sure what you're
trying to do, or specifically, what you're struggling with. But that might
be just because I a) don't use any of the built-in model stuff, and b) don't
really write controller unit tests. I write extensive tests on my model
itself, but typically just browser test the controllers.

Regex - count of matches
I'm looking to get a count of the number of times a regex match can be found in
a string. The best I can come up with is arrayLen(reMatch('expr','string'))
which does work, but it seems like this approach is doing more work than it
really needs to (I don't care about what the regex matched, I just want to know
how many times a match was found). Anyone know of a more elegant solution to
this?

coldfusion framework - i forget the name...
I remember reading about a coldfusion framework out there - I quote framework because it was really more of a methodology.

Re: RETS Implementation
As far as what I have done with the data, it isn't the best solution but it works... The biggest problem I encountered is a 1 minute page processing limit at HostMySite, so what I have done is wrote a script to go out and grab the data and write it out to a file, then I import it chunk by chunk (scheduled task that runs every 30 mins) until i have imported the entire file. I then go out and grab a new file. This process takes about a day with the RETS server I am hitting, and with the RETS queries I'm using (which result in about a 50,000 record recordset). In general, the biggest hurdle I encountered was handling the HTTP authentication via Coldfusion (which i believe is why CFX_HTTP5 was used for the CFC solution). After that, it was just a matter of playing around with parameters until I got the result i wanted. -- Jake I have a CFC encapsulating all the necessary functions to interface to RETS v1.5.

We're in the process of updating our data import from an older system and would prefer something that can just go get the RETS data and images and throw it into SQL for us.

I'd prefer to have it all in one step without having to deal with manually creating tables and figuring out the field types. I know RETS has meta-data that already has all this info, but the download utility just spits out a pipe-delimited text file without any of that meta-data so it's slow going.

Plausible solution i know, but in my case it just isn't practical.

The current situation is probably 1000 domains strewn across 50 or so registrars - I'd much rather have a centralized DNS solution that's outside of the registrar (then just tell my clients to update their DNS servers accordingly). I don't want to chase down registrar logins when, say a redundant mail server goes into place. I just use wherever the domain is bought... (gododdy). Also rackspace. Never had an issue with either.

WebDav + SVN + Dreamweaver
I'm trying to get SVN autoversioning (webDav) configured for use with dreamweaver (in this case, dreamweaver 8). It seems like it's working, but I can't publish new files. Also, I'm not seeing file revisions when I post new files. Admittedly, I'm new to SVN so this could easily be a user issue. Here's a rundown of of my software versions/configuration: Apache 2.0.59 (it's only purpose in life is to provide webDav access) SVN 1.4.3 Windows XP (will eventually move to Windows 2003 server when in production) Client: Dreamweaver 8 - remote server as a webDav connection Besides switching the default port to 8080 (to prevent conflicts with IIS on 80), here are the changes I made to httpd.conf LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so LoadModule dav_svn_module C:/Program Files/Subversion/bin/mod_dav_svn.so LoadModule authz_svn_module C:/Program Files/Subversion/bin/mod_authz_svn.so DocumentRoot C:/webDav Directory C:/webDav DavLockDB C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/var/DavLock Location / Dav svn AuthType Basic AuthName DAV AuthUserFile C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/var/user.passwd require valid-user ForceType text/plain SVNPath c:/svnRepos /Location I created a new repository (C:\svnRepos) using Tortoise SVN. I then imported the files which I wish to keep under version control (c:\webDav). I then did the necessary password work to create an account for the basic authentication. Dreamweaver says it connects successfully to my remote server. When I push out a file that already exists, it doesn't bark at me. However when I look in my c:\webDav folder, the changes are not there. I tried doing an SVN Update (via Tortoise SVN) on c:\webDav, but the changes were still not visible. I also tried checking out a new working copy (c:\webDav2) and that did not contain the changes either. The other issue is that I cannot add a new file - I created test2.html in my local view in dreamwaver, tried to push it out, and I received an access denied. the file may not exist or there may be a permission issue. I haven't tried any clients besides dreamweaver because this really won't be useful to us if it doesn't work in dreamweaver. Has anyone experienced this before? Is this a dreamweaver issue?

Re: Odd database behavior: duplicate key error
Yes, you could use CFtransaction for this type of isolation, but this can also cause problems that you wouldn't see with cflock. Cftransaction isoloation='serializabile' for example will give you an exclusive lock to all tables within the transaction (most restrictive level of isloation). Depending on what you're doing, this can be desirable or problematic as this can easily cause database deadlocks which are almost always highly frustrating to the end user, and are usually equally frustrating to debug. Cflock will not (directly) cause database deadlocks, but can be problematic if you have a large number of requests that are going to be using the cflock'ed code as a lock will wait (until timeout) for the locked resource to be released. So potential database lock error vs potential cflock timeout error - the choice is yours. :) ~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:288206 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Odd database behavior: duplicate key error
If this is true - wrap the code in a named lock: cflock name=aUniqueLockName type=exclusive your SQL here /cflock A named lock ensures that only one thread at a time will be allowed to run the code within the cflock tag.

CF7 - admin debugging settings
We've been playing around with the CF admin settings quite a bit lately on our development server, and we have made some interesting observations. As many of you already know, 'report execution times' is an application killer in any heavily CFC based framework - we have had this setting turned off for some time. However, we have also noticed that when we run processes that take several minutes (10+ - we have a number of data mover processes which run for quite some time), the RAM usage seems to steadily increase when we have debugging enabled. When we disable debugging, you can see each iteration of our loop show up in memory (mem usage goes up about 2MB and drops back down 2MB every few seconds) but when debugging is disabled it never seems to free up the entire 2MB so the RAM usage steadily increases. 1) Anyone know what is causing this with relation to the debugging settings. We would love to be able to leave debugging on if possible, but obviously system performance is more important. 2) When Coldfusion finally hits the heap size limit for RAM usage, it pretty much gives up - I'm assuming this is because it is trying to run a Full Garbage Collection while we're stuffing more data into RAM, and it just never actually completes the GC process. Can anyone recommend a GC for this type of processing? Are there other settings that we could tweak so that when we do hit the memory threshold, we're not 'dead in the water' until we give CF a restart? Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Re: CF7 - admin amp; debugging settings
We're running these large processes on our development server (to avoid burdening our production server) which is why we would like to leave debugging on. I understand that having debugging enabled in a production environment is a no-no - I guess I'm looking for a way to 'soften the blow' when having debugging enabled. If I can't actually change anything, I'm still curious as to why this happens. ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

Re: CFC defining vars
Gualtiero hit the nail on the head - it allows you to define a variable (or a variable scope aka struct) who only exists for the duration of the function's processing. 'What scope is it in?' - it's in the same scope as if you omitted the 'var' keyword. cfset myVar = 'purple' / cfset var myVar = 'purple' / In both cases, your variable would be in the 'variables' scope. One trick that many developers like to use is to declare a variable scope for your functions: cffunction name=myFunction cfset var local = structNew() / cfset local.val1 = 'blue' / cfset local.val2 = 'red' / cfreturn local.val1 ' ' local.val2 / /cffunction Crappy example, but hopefully it illustrates the point. By setting var local = structNew(), you effectively create a variable scope that only lives for the duration of the function.

Is it possible to take a CFMX mapping (say /external to

but since CFMX already knows this, it should be possible right?

Re: Good SSL Provider
I'm a fan of GeoTrust. Yes, you do tend to pay the piper when going with them but it's a name that people recognize and they provide 'reissue insurance' which I know I have personally cashed in on at least a dozen times. 'A name that people recognize': If you purchase an SSL cert through GeoTrust, they allow you to display their geotrust security symbol graphic on your site. As you probably already know, there are many people who are paranoid about submitting their credit card number to ANY site. By putting some sort of security symbol on your site, you provide a (false) sense of security that your customers will appreciate. If they actually recognize the company that is being displayed in the security symbol, even better. 'reissue insurance': Basically it ensures that if you mess up the installation or blow up your server, you can get another SSL cert without having to pay for it. Say you generate the request file, send it to GeoTrust, and they issue you a certificate. You then pull a bonehead move and delete the site from IIS or spill your beer on the server and it snaps, crackles, and pops. Once you get things set up again, the cert that GeoTrust sent you will no longer work because it will no longer match up with the request file. With reissue insurance, you simply create a new request file and go through the reissue process - they will send you a new cert using the new request file. If you want to go with a vendor other than GeoTrust, I personally would make sure that the vendor provided this sort of insurance since the times that you cash in on it are typically stressful enough :).

Re: cfabort triggering onError function in Application.cfc
An abort is an exception that is caught by the onError event handler. Whether this is a bug or a desired effect is debatable, but this does in fact happen.

Re: CFC Typeof()
You don't want to do that in Coldfusion - it is unnecessary and is actually a performance hit as well. Read up on 'duck typing' - Sean Corfield has a nice powerpoint that outlines this concept. You have to remember that Coldfusion does not enforce strict typing; Coldfusion is not Java!! The basic idea is that if you pass in a value (be it a string, query, object, whatever) and it works within your code, it is of the correct type (if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck!). If you pass in a numeric value to a function that is expecting a string, it's going to work. If you pass in an object with properties x, y, and z to a function expecting an object with properties x, y, and z it's going to work. If you were to restrict your function to only accept objects with a type of cfc.exampleObj, you are unnecessarily restricting the possible input of your function as well as creating a performance loss by making your function check the object's type in the first place!

Re: CF Server connecting to MySQL v5
I know this isn't the most elegant solution, but it works. You can use the
mySQL v3.x driver that comes built into cf administrator if you apply one quick
fix to your mySQL user account:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');
More on this can be found here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html
Essentially this 'fix' changes your password to use the old shorter password
hashing algorithm used back with mySQL 3.x. Less secure, yes, but this is
really the only major compatibility issue you'll encounter with using this
driver.

Re: New developer vs. Veteran developer
Honestly, the value of a veteran developer can rarely be quantified. Veteran can mean a variety of things and all of the prior comments suggest this - a developer with 2 years of experience might be as good as a developer with 8 years of experience. This means that years of experience is a very rough indicator of developing talent. I would label a veteran developer as a developer who has been placed in at least 3 different work environments and has performed a variety of different tasks with relation to the development platform in question (in this case, Coldfusion). Someone who has been working on the same intranet application for company x for the last 8 years probably won't know squat about ecommerce. Someone who has been at a web development shop for the last 8 years will probably have a broad range of application experience, but may not know squat about internal users (the folks you can trust with about 30% of everything who may or may not know enough to be dangerous). Now with my definition of veteran, your new developer won't catch up to the veteran until they have been placed in a few different job roles. Now a new developer may learn how to program absolutely superb code in their first year (highly unlikely), but without a broad range of experience this first year developer will still make mistakes that a veteran developer wouldn't (i.e. hackable application holes, poor data integrity, etc). So in short: years of experience doesn't indicate expertise, and while a new programmer may be able to be as productive as a seasoned veteran in a very short period of time, they are not going to have as strong of a background when it comes to resolving errors and maintaining application integrity.

Re: MySQL - need auto increment back to 0...
In the past I have just deleted the column and recreated it, which effectively sets the autoincrement back to 0. However there are definitely a few downfalls of this approach (broken relationships and not straightforward when done programatically) - I'll be interested in finding if anyone has a better solution for this. ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.

Re: get code prior to commit
As previously mentioned, cfsavecontent is a good approach. Another alternative is the onRequest method within Application.cfc. You'll have to do a little reading on this function, but the basic idea is that the end result of your page request is delivered by onRequest. If onRequest doesn't return anything (or output anything), your user will not receive any conent. ~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:277598 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Re: Which Framework do you use... (if any)
This answer is hard to answer because I really feel it's strongly based on your development style. Are you an old CF 5 developer that's just getting into the MX arena (or maybe you're still not there)? - Fusebox is a wonderful framework for these folks. Are you an OOP junkie? - Mach-II might be your answer. Are you a developer who heavily relies on CFCs but doesn't really care for the OOP approach? - model-glue might be your answer. Now the real cool thing out there in the coldfusion development architecture world are ORMs - the front runners here are Transfer and Reactor. In my experience recently, Transfer is knocking the socks off of Reactor and has been a much more active open source project than Reactor. However, both work extremely well. If you haven't used an ORM yet, you definitely need to try one out :). For those of you not in the know, ORM stands for object role modeling (fancy term, whatever) - the basic idea is that you tell the ORM a few little details about your database tables (what's the table name, what's the PK, what's the relation between your tables) which is typically done in XML. From there, it creates all of your select, insert, update, delete functionality (Commonly called CRUD operations) for you :). Any developer who has done a fair sized project will know that these functions take a good third of your development time - when this gets taken care of for you it is HUGE. So to answer your question, choosing a framework really depends on development style and in many cases choosing multiple frameworks may make a winning combination. Please note that the term frameworks is being used very loosely here - Fusebox and Model glue basically have the same use; transfer and reactor basically have the same use. A winning combination may be model glue and reactor (and coldspring for the model-glue unity setup) or fusebox and transfer. Get your nose out there, and give these frameworks a try! ~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:276477 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: Printing Checks
One word - CFReport. Go get the CF Report Builder (I believe its still free) and create a report which fits the format of your checks, then just load and execute it with the CFreport tag. There is tons of documentation out there for CFReport so I'm not going to go too far into the details, but you'll probably find that this is what you are looking for. You can render your reports as a PDF, which will probably address your printing issue.

CFCs that extend CFCs - want to cfinclude a function
I have a CFC that extends another CFC, and I want to overwrite a function in the base CFC using a cfinclude. Take the following example: subset.cfc: cfcomponent extends=cfcs.base cfinclude template=functions.cfm / /cfcomponent base.cfc: cfcomponent cffunction name=doStuff cfset returnVal = 1 / cfreturn returnVal / /cffunction /cfcomponent functions.cfm: cffunction name=doStuff cfset returnVal = 2 / cfreturn returnVal / /cffunction Now if i paste the contents of function.cfm to where the cfinclude is the functions.cfm version of doStuff() overwrites the base version of doStuff() (good), but when i extract it into a separate file and use the cfinclude, it does not overwrite doStuff() (bad).

Re: making a page use cfdocument or not
Ian keyed in on the solution here. In short - you can't have a condition around just the CFDOCUMENT starting and ending tags; the condition needs to wrap the entire code block. From what I experienced CFdocument seems to always run whether it is wrapped in a condition or not(seems to execute during pre-processing, like evaluate()), then if there is a condition that isn't met it will discard the CFdocument results. Now the end tag doesn't seem to follow these same rules (which you noticed with your error) - it behaves just like any other CF tag. CFdocument in general is a bit flakey, but once you get it working it's an extremely useful and powerful tag. ~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.

Vista versions - what's really needed for CF development?
I'm looking to get a new laptop and I'm just wondering - what version of Vista does a Coldfusion developer really want/need? For example I remember from the XP days that the folks who picked up Windows XP Home Edition didn't have IIS, which really can be a pain to workaround. There were also some nice to have's that really made XP Professional a winner for the CF developer. Now I got this little pamphlet from Target about the different editions and it looks like Vista Business ed. (when compared to Ultimate) pretty much has the works minus Windows Media Center and some drive encryption tool which I could care less about. Is media center worth having (in which case, is Home Premium a better option)? It seems like the Business ed. has some networking tools that might come in handy - are they?

Re: Smart Names implementation
I guess I was thinking of something a bit more relational (2 tables: [id,name] [id,sameAsID]), but your example would do the trick :). However I could see this becoming an additional bottleneck in our system. We often have tables with tens or hundreds of thousands of records, and there are a number of checks that already are ran on each record to determine if a duplicate entry has been entered - we have seen this process take the bulk of a day with a large enough database. General overview: To initialize a project, a list of clients (people) is dumped into our database (usually from a spreadsheet). As the project goes on, we may add more entries to the database, delete entries (which is actually just an inactive flag), and modify entries to correct addresses, phone numbers, etc. There are a number of places that we may receive these updates from (phone, mail, etc) so there is a good chance that duplicates will be entered. While the system tries to eliminate duplicates on entry, it isn't able to catch all duplicates. Now that I think about it, maybe I'm looking at the wrong approach... There's always the potential for type-o's and I would like to catch those too (Robert vs Roebrt) -- obviously this would be beyond the capabilities of a smart name search (unless i started entering in potential type-o's into the smart names database - ick). Has anyone else dealt with this type of scenario? Thanks! Jake I've done something similar with part numbers. The hard part isn't doing lookups -- one table, three columns (id, name1, name2), two subselects -- the hard part is populating that table. I'm happy to show you how to do the lookup, but do you have a plan for populating the table? --Ben Doom Jake Pilgrim wrote: Has anyone implemented smart names (i.e. a search for Bob would match Bobby or Robert) functionality in Coldfusion?

I have ran into this before... Here's the fix I used: cfchart gridlines=11 scaleFrom=0 scaleTo=100 /cfchart This will display a graph with each gridLine representing 10. The trick here is that scaleTo / (gridlines + 1) should equal an integer value. You add one to the gridlines value for the baseline (0) gridlline. Does that make sense? Hope that helps. ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 MX7 integration create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:269506 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: Web based HTML Editor recommendations please
Here's what I have used in the past, with feedback: FCK Editor - The best product I have found thus far. Prior versions were less than remarkable, but their latest versions are excellent! Very customizable, very cross-platform compatible, and does not require any additional plugins (Java, Flash, etc). Plus - it's free :). soEditor - This is an *ok* product. It doesn't do anything that the FCK editor doesn't do. It comes with a price tag, and it's code sweeper function is less than perfect. I used this for a number of clients in the past and I have had to go into the code generated by this editor numerous times to fix various layout issues from poor code nesting. Ektron eWebWP - Purely flash based. Poor functionality, and poor integration. Doesn't offer any code clean-up features. ActivEdit - Decent product, but licensing is a pain in the ass. It is able to run in DHTML or Java mode, but I would recommend forcing Java mode. Doesn't offer any code clean-up features. Now when I say code clean-up features - specifically I'm referring to the ability to paste content from outside applications (most notably - MS Word). FCK Editor will clean up word garbage on-the-fly. soEditor will clean up word garbage after clicking code sweeper or by pasting using the special paste from word button. Ektron and ActivEdit just leave word's garbage in the code... And that's my 2 cents.

Re: Web based HTML Editor recommendations please
Yes - support is non-existent with the soEditor. Now about a year or more ago, I received an email that said that they were releasing a new version of the soEditor. The email even included a link to a page which seemed to be an incomplete purchase page (just missing the buy link). Shortly thereafter this page was taken down. I tried to follow up by asking when/how could I purchase the new version - to this day I have yet to receive a response. ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 MX7 integration create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:269553 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: CF MX Access DSN w/o ODBC Service
Once upon a time, I seem to remember hearing that you could use OLEDB to connect to access: cfquery dbtype=oledb ... /cfquery However, I've never tried that :). If it works out, let me know. ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 MX7 integration create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:269405 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
