Re: Where Woes

[Jerry Johnson]

you need to surround the program variable with single quotes, like so

where programCode1='#program#'

Please ask if you need an explanation of why.

can you call a remote script that returns a dir or ls to get the file list?

Re: REGEX hell

[Jerry Johnson]

no need to escape the space char with a slash.

are you sure it is only 1 space, and are you sure it is a space char
(chr(32))?

If so, remove the slash in front of the space, and it should work.

also, pet peeve, no need for the ## around the function. Works either way,
though, so ignore if you prefer.

Re: Error: null null

In my experience, this is usually caused by a date field being NULL

Re: Move CF website to non CF host

[Jerry Johnson]

Do the other pages of your site that you want to keep end in .cfm, or do
they end in .htm or .html?

If they are .htm files then you should be good to go (there are cases where
you might not be, but you are most likely ok)

If they are .cfm files, can you run a file search/scan on your
codebase/html/cfm files, and look for " tags, then you have html
pages named .cfm. At that point you could either rename the pages to .htm
(and fix all the links), build some sort of htaccess/rewrite rule to forward
broken links, or teach your web server to handle .cfm files as if they were
just html, rather than coldfusion.

(There are many exceptions to the above, but the options above cover most
sites I've seen and dealt with)

Re: OT - MySQL List

I use a combination of the mysqladministrator and the RDS Dataview tabs in

I also hear good things about Navicat, but haven't yet ponies up the money
for a full license.

As for the list, you might be better off with a very specific list (php devs
doing), since the technology is free and ubiquitous, I don't know of a
single simple mysql list that does not have a very low signal to noise
ratio.

If you find a good one, let me know?

Re: TechCrunch calls ColdFusion "outmoded technology"

[Jerry Johnson]

That is just about the funniest article I ever read.

Let's break it down again.

The owner threw it together himself in 2000, using Coldfusion, and it built
his business, and lasted for 9 years.

A team started rewriting it 3 years ago in a "more modern technology", and
the new version just went live.

Hmmm. From a ROI standpoint, let's see which I would prefer.

Re: securing pdf's?

[Jerry Johnson]

You need to change your cf server (and webserver) to process pdf files
through coldfusion. That will allow application.cfc/.cfm to fire before the
pdf is loaded.

(there are better ways, including using cfcontent to push the pdf content,
but i will answer the question you asked, instead of throwing other ideas
in)

Assuming you are using cf8 and iis (maybe a bad assumption, but a place to
start), I _think_ you need to change the web.xml file in
cfusion\wwwroot\web-inf to handle pdf files, and change iis to allow cf to
handle pdf files. (copy the way they both handle .cfm files, same settings,
and you will be fine).

The purpose of the hack is to change your website, so that each visitor is

Some of the exploits attempted are handled by the MS patch. Some are not.

Re: (ot) URL Hack Attempt Leaves Me Scractching My Head...

[Jerry Johnson]

The attempts are based on a google search of .cfm files with parameters that
can be exploited.

(They have automated the page search, as well as the attack itself.)

It is not a cf specific attack, but is also nailing php, asp, and .net
sites.

Here is a decent writeup of it all.

Re: Where Do You Put Your Error Checking Code?

[Jerry Johnson]

All of the above.

The more user-friendly code and descriptions happen on the same page via js
checks.
The sql code typically throws a generic error.

And the stuff in between is somewhere in the middle.

Re: Bug / Issue tracking

I love lighthouse. Love it, love it, love it.

We also use basecamp, but more for project knowledge sharing.

If you need a hosted solution, find a small cf hosting shop, and see if they
will install it for you, and charge you a monthly fee.

Re: Need Include to be first thing after BODY tag

[Jerry Johnson]

Just wanted to put it out there (or _my_ coworkers would yell at _me_). lol.

OK, just winging it here, but i think if you include a standard javascript
function or include at the top that attaches a function to the onLoad for
the body, the function it attaches would be the coldfusion-custom javascript
to call the view stasher.

Not 100% sure if the objects all exist at the right time, but it could maybe
get you there.

Re: Need Include to be first thing after BODY tag

[Jerry Johnson]

Not to help you at all, and providing info you didn't ask for, but...

Best practices when counting pages is to wait for the page to load, or most
of the page to load, before counting that page.

This is especially true when counting advertising page views, or counting
pages read for subscription purposes.

(If the page didn't load, they couldn't have actually read it, and counting
it as a view is a bit of a stretch.)

But now on to your question. Are you trying to find a way to do it on every
page, without having to actually write it into every page?

Jerry

Re: Which approach to take?

[Jerry Johnson]

My personal preference is a riff of version 1.

I input the text info, and hit save (or "add photos" or "step 2")
The data gets validated and written, and now I get the input fields for the
photos (on a new page, or on the same page with a new section added at the
bottom)

Re: DB choice for small Intranet site

[Jerry Johnson]

I couldn't quite tell from your sentence whether you were saying Derby
doesn't have a good managment tool like MySQL, or if you thought MySQL
doesn't have a good management suite.

Just in case it was the latter, or in case anyone else isn't aware of it,
I'll bore you with a gushing mention of the MySQL Administrator.

Until a few weeks ago, I was doing everything through phpMyAdmin, thinking
that was the height of administration. So much better than the hand-scripts
I was writing to do everything.

But my boss sent me the MySQL Administrator, and WOW, what a difference.
Still not quite on par with Enterprise Manager for MSSQL, due to speed and
interface, but it is pretty close, and more than enough for the job at hand.

MySQL Administrator 1.2 - http://www.mysql.com/products/tools/administrator/

Re: SOT: Holy Grail? Hosting?

[Jerry Johnson]

I've been using them for about 7 years. Never a blip, never a problem.

I forget they are even there.

Even the price is so low on my monthly bank statement, I go months
without thinking about them much at all.

Which is just what I want in a host. It just works.

If so, I'd like that list as well - to make sure I never host with them.

Re: OT: What type of CF hosting do I need?

[Jerry Johnson]

Dont take so long on each task. break them down smaller, into more
granular pieces.

dont process them all at one whack, but build a queue of items to
process, and then run through them individually or in much smaller
groups.

_New_ function, not a change (potentially breaking existing applications).

Re: Should jsstringformat do more?

[Jerry Johnson]

If anyone really feels strongly about this, they should create a
function that does what they want, name it something more useful and
specific, and place it on cflib.org

Then put a note on the livedocs pointing to the new function.

Finally, watch and see how many people then go download the function
that "fixes" JSStringFormat.

If enough people do so, I can almost guarantee that the Adobe dev
staff will take notice, and look at including that or a similar
function in the next version of cf.

This would be both useful, and possibly educational.

Re: Should jsstringformat do more?

[Jerry Johnson]

My feeling would be no. I like the way it currently works.

JSStringFormat does what the function says. It is not called JSSafeFromAnything.

As you point out, it is only unsafe under certain conditions. So I am
glad it does not always strip everything out that might possibly meet
a seldom seen condition.

Converting PDF to Flashpaper in cfmx7

I have a whole pile of pdf files on disk.

Is there a way to convert those PDFs on the fly to Flashpaper, and
allow me to use the flashpaper embed object on a page?

I can easily do it with html content (thanks to Terry Ryan), but would
_love_ to handle pdfs this way.

Re: How do I get the characters after the last period in a string?

[Jerry Johnson]

this will work for 1 or more, but will NOT work for none! (it will
return an empty string)
you should do a listLen(file,".") gt 0 test to make sure before you start.

Re: How do I get the characters after the last period in a string?

[Jerry Johnson]

Use the list functions, with the period as the delimiter

could there be more than one period? If so, you need to decide between
two options (if not, then either will work)

If you only want to remove the very last extension after the last period,



If you only want the content before the first one,

Re: Developing software for touch screen?

[Jerry Johnson]

Are you looking for a standalone screen, or are you looking for a
small form factor PC attached to a regular touchscreen?

I would (personally) go with the later. I have 20 years of experience
with touchscreens, but today's hardware is cheap, easy to use and
maintain, and easier to develop for.

Most touchscreens today just function as a mouse, and are handled at
the os level. They are either bought with the screen, or are add on
kits you can handle yourselves. (You no longer need to inject silicon
between the glass panes, which was a _pain_. Especially with the 12"
needle used to extract air bubbles. And you no longer have to write
your own device drivers, which is _lovely_.)

The main considerations for a standalone kiosk/touchscreen are
diagnostics and remote update and control, and making sure the
interface is adapted for touch interface (read large well-spaced
buttons).

We built many kiosks using old-school cbt software, and later
Director, but Flash and Firefox (in kiosk mode) handle it wonderfully
now right out of the box.

What is the environment? Budget? User needs? Is it the only interface,
or an additional interface (keyboards, mice, movement or weight
sensors)? What about feedback? Screen only, or do you need sound as
well?

Jerry

Re: 2007 Web Design Survey

[Jerry Johnson]

I was somewhat kidding.

I don't (at this point) want to give up coding.
I don't want to manage people
I don't want to worry about other people's paychecks
I actually don't want to worry about mine.

I do like some of the "technologist" and business analysis work I am
doing now, but I still prefer my week over 50% coding. I would miss
the creative outlet without it. Even though the technologist work is
creative in a different direction.

I realize I will never buy a $300,000 boat on my salary, but I have
friends that own them, and they are a pain.

Re: What can PHP do that CF can't?

[Jerry Johnson]

Ummm, never learned perl? T-SQL? Unary and dereferencing in C?

One thing php can do that cf cannot. Run wordpress and phpBB. Which
right now makes me sad.

Re: 2007 Web Design Survey

[Jerry Johnson]

Me! I also like writing code. I do it in my spare time, too.
(Especially when work is not as fun as it should be, and I need a
creative release)

My favorite time in the entire year is not Christmas or even my
birthday, it is the 4 day weekend at Thanksgiving where I pick a
single project, and code through the weekend (except for breaks for
sit-down dinner on Thursday, and the touch football game Sat morning
at the Junior High.) The rest of the time is me, my laptop, cable tv
and leftovers.

Re: minus 30

Do you want 30 days, or 1 month? They are not the same thing (more
than half the time)

what does endate look like? a date object, or is it a MMDD string?

Re: Text Editor Preferences?

[Jerry Johnson]

I still miss the Turbo Pascal editor. And I miss Brief (by UnderWare) every day.

I don't use a plain text-editor very often, as homesite+ is still
working well for those files, but I do still find occasion to use a
hex editor.

What does everyone use for that?

Re: RSS Feed

It is that simple, hence the name Really Simple Syndication.

(And don't anyone correct me with the older names "... Site Summary",

That should be all there is to it, but you may want to add a link on
the web page as well, for those with older browsers or news readers.

Re: RSS feed

[Jerry Johnson]

If on MX, but not 8, you can use Ray Camden's cfrss cfc

http://cfrss.riaforge.org/

Writing the xml for the feed is only part of the project. deciding
where and when to write it is another.

So, a couple of implementation questions/ideas first. (I am guessing
RSS generation is new to you, so wanted to give you a few
alternatives.)

Does the data change often? If not, a static RSS file programmatically
generated may be a good approach. In your admin for adding new press
releases, write a new static pressRelease.xml file each time you save
or edit a press release.

If it does change often, a dynamic file might be a better bet. This
pulls the data and rebuilds the rss page every time it is requested,
and is always fresh. Your dynamic rss file can be called
pressReleaseRss.cfm (and yet return an rss feed), or if you want to
get trickier (and you have control over your environment), you could
go with pressRelease.rss (web.xml and iis/apache configuration needed)
or  /rss/pressRelease (isapi or mod rewrite). This is a comfort and
experience decision for you. I am implementing my rss feeds with the
..rss extension at the moment.

If you have a pressRelease.cfm page that returns the list of
pressReleases as a web page already, you should also put an RSS
auto-discovery tag on that page, so rss readers, spiders, and even
some browsers can detect that there is an rss version of the page.
This is above and beyond any rss icon or link you place on the web
pages.

Yes, but the rows are not (duplicate).

Re: best way to store search terms entered on a website?

[Jerry Johnson]

In my mind, logfiles should be lean, simple and fast. no thought, just
entry. Write only. Just the facts, ma'am

Once the data goes in, reporting from it is a different matter.
queries, olap apps, and any rolled up or calculated data happen during
a different process.

Thoughts?

Re: news and press releases - need help!

[Jerry Johnson]

The steps are pretty simple.

Front end
Form to allow people to subscribe to the email.
Form to allow people to UNSUBSCRIBE from the email

When they ask to subscribe, add them to the database
When they ask to unsubscribe, remove them from the database (or mark
them inactive)

Backend
Form to allow you to create press release

When the press release is created and saved, pull all the current
active records from the email list, and send an email with the press
release information to all those users.

Those are the main steps. The rss idea is a good one, but more of an
"also" for me than an "instead of".

Re: Stopping a Screen Scrape

[Jerry Johnson]

As we all know, the bane of scraping is inconsistency, and changing specs.

So, make sure your page is inconsistent and changes constantly.

Add extra divs, change the id and names of the divs, change the style
and other attributes on each page load, Change the number and
attributes or div, span, tr, td, table calls.

You dont need to make it crack proof, just need to make it harder than
the upgrade costs.

It is not a print screen you are worried about, it is converting the
html print data to a db cheaply and easily.

If they want to rekey the data, fine. If they can way more cost
effectively "steal" it, they often will.

Re: Date and Time

[Jerry Johnson]

The easiest way is to set up a default value for that field in your
database, so it gets automatically inserted when you create a new
record.

SQL Server? MySQL? Something else?
If sql server, you would put getDate() as the default value for that
field. This will automatically insert the current datetime into that
field whenever a new record is created.

If you want to insert it yourself, you can set it into the db when you
save the other fields.

Something like

insert into db
(title, body, uploadDate)
VALUES
('#title#','#body#',#createODBCDateTime(now())#)


(of course ,you should use cfqueryparam for the title and body fields,
but I am too lazy to type them).

Re: Jr. Going to Hendrick

[Jerry Johnson]

I don't know that there is a top dog on that team. It seems like they
run each shop in friendly competition, all sharing the same
information and experts.

But when the last lap is going on, its every man for himself. There
isnt a "Let Lance win the stage" preference for one driver over
another.

What I do wonder is: will Gordon have a financial ownership stake in
Dale's car, like he does in Johnson's (but not his own).

Re: I love CF but it's not fair

[Jerry Johnson]

There are also a lot of jobs for McDonalds late shift workers.

=)

My current programming job is 95% coldfusion, and the ad was for a
perl developer.
My last job was 85% coldfusion, 15% Director and the ad was for "web developer"
My previous job was for "Foxpro Developer", and it was 25% foxpro, 50%
pl/sql and oracle, and a mix of documentum, installer scripts, netware
vlms, etc.

Many places that are hiring have no idea how to classify their
programming needs.

Even at this job, the 95% coldfusion is just the main application
server environment. All day today has been SQL Server, Javascript,
HTML, CSS, some design work, and some ia specing.

I have found that the way the job description reads, and the
technologies described, is usually an indicator of the type of
development environment, the management understanding of technology,
and the development methodology as much as it is an actual request for
technology proficiency.

A job that specs .NET and all MS technologies is often a very rigid,
MS dominated, corporate environment that values certifications more
than seat time and documentation over creativity.

Same is true for PHP/LAMP/Open Source development houses. The choice
of these technologies can be a huge clue into the budget priorities of
a group, which will often affect pay scales and any outlay of real
dollars (sometimes penny smart and pound foolish). Not always, of
course, but often enough in my life to have a question going in.

Some thoughts from my head.
Jerry

Re: pink folders

Because you code like a girl, and even Dreamweaver knows it?

Try to check your IIS settings, and make sure the profile you are

in IIS.

Re: OT: is this wrong on my client's part?

[Jerry Johnson]

If his needs are that strict, make him provide an exact duplicate
system for development and testing, so you can test in an exact
replica of his environment, without being on his servers.

This will save money in the long run, by cutting down on testing
rounds, and providing a good platform for future changes as well.

(BTW, this is how I got the xServe sitting under my couch.)

Re: Good cf-compatible javascript library to handle dragable page sections

[Jerry Johnson]

Thanks, Jon,

That is exactly what I was hoping for.

I realize that a given javascript implementation is not always tied
directly to the application server technology, but there are always
favorites and people who've already done it I am hoping to piggyback
onto.

Good cf-compatible javascript library to handle dragable page sections

[Jerry Johnson]

Is there a cf-compatible javascript library that can handle the
drag-and-drop window areas like those found on google.com or
pageflakes.com?

Pageflakes does it with the .net Atlas widgets.

http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en&ned=us&tab=nw&q=
http://www.pageflakes.com/

I'd love to play with something like this, but am reluctant to sink
the hours at the moment into building it myself.

thanks for any info,
Jerry Johnson

Re: Regex

[Jerry Johnson]

Include files #1. Make is #2. Then regex.

Of course, I spent about 3 years, 25+ hours a week, using yacc and
regex to mimick all of the possible buttons and actions on sonar suite
simulators, so I have a passing familiarity with regex.

Re: OT: Sitemaps

[Jerry Johnson]

If your domains are stored in a logical tree on disk (and dont have
tons of virtual mappings), you should be able to use OS tools to get a
file count.

Passing along: TechRepublic on Coldfusion

[Jerry Johnson]

Worth a look, from today's NetNote email:

Implement the State pattern with ColdFusion Components

The introduction of ColdFusion Components (CFCs) in ColdFusion MX
opened the door to more object-oriented programming (OOP) in CF. When
application developers start thinking about OOP, the idea of design
patterns almost always comes up. In that context, Brian Kotek
discusses the State pattern: its purpose, the problems it can solve,
and how you can implement it using CFCs.

Re: ColdFire RC1 Released

[Jerry Johnson]

In case anyone is as dumb as me, install the update to Firebug BEFORE
trying to run all this.

It don't work good on the old version.

=)

It ROCKS.

Re: Text Similarity Algorithm

[Jerry Johnson]

Are you talking about matching sections of text (copyright/plagerism issues)

Rough similarity (similar size, number of words)
Similar content groupings (word count, number of matches)
Whole phrase matching

Re: This is pretty funny (Source: Fox News)

[Jerry Johnson]

Cause Gates had to sit there and listen to the fact that the entire IT
sector, which is a huge portion of their economy, was built on pirating his
software, and that the government still thinks it is really no big thing.

And probably had to smile.
