Another Indirect Reference question
Hello all, I have another indirect reference question... I am inside an instantiated CFC. The CFC has a variable called THIS.subMenuVisibility which is an array to hold 1 of 2 words, either Visible or Invisible. I amtrying to set elements of this array by indirect reference. The code to do this is: cfdump var=#ArrayLen(THIS.Inputs)# cfdump var=#THIS.Inputs# cfloop index=InputTypeIndex from=1 to=#ArrayLen(THIS.Inputs)# cfset MenuName = THIS.subMenuVisibility.ulInputType THIS.Inputs [InputTypeIndex][1] Menu cfdump var=#MenuName# cfif NOT isDefined(#MenuName#) cfdump var=Inside #MenuName# cfset #MenuName# = Invisible cfdump var=#evaluate(MenuName) # /cfif /cfloop The results are: THIS.subMenuVisibility.ulInputTypeInputCheckBoxMenu Inside THIS.subMenuVisibility.ulInputTypeInputCheckBoxMenu Invisible THIS.subMenuVisibility.ulInputTypeInputRadioMenu Inside THIS.subMenuVisibility.ulInputTypeInputRadioMenu Invisible THIS.subMenuVisibility.ulInputTypeInputSelectMenu Inside THIS.subMenuVisibility.ulInputTypeInputSelectMenu Invisible THIS.subMenuVisibility.ulInputTypeInputTextMenu Inside THIS.subMenuVisibility.ulInputTypeInputTextMenu Invisible THIS.subMenuVisibility.ulInputTypeInputTextAreaMenu Inside THIS.subMenuVisibility.ulInputTypeInputTextAreaMenu Invisible (The cfdump of the array) struct ULAUTHORMENU Invisible ULCONTENTMENU Invisible ULFORMMENU Invisible ULINPUTMENU Invisible ULPROCESSMENU Invisible ULSTEPMENU Invisible It appears to me that I am setting a variable that is titled what I want; it just isn't an element of the array like I want. If anybody has any ideas, I would be most appreciative. Thank you in advance. Robert J. Polickoski Senior Programmer, ISRD Inc.

Instantiated component reference
Hello all, I am trying to set a local variable in an instantiated component from outside the component. It has a reference ID that is assigned by the server using CreateUUID(). However, when I try to reference it, I get the below error. Does anybody have any suggestions? The string SERVER.stObjects.7FCC2AC7-ABAA-1582- E7F8A4739E33862B.subMenuVisibility.ulAuthorMenu is not a valid ColdFusion variable name. Valid variable names must start with a letter, and can only contain letter, numbers, and underscores. Thank you in advance. Robert J. Polickoski Senior Programmer, ISRD Inc.

Re: UDF or CFC
Cedric, Although I am still fairly new to working with CFCs, (as evidenced by some of my recent posts), I think I understand their purpose. CFCs are the CFMX implementation of Object Oriented Programming (OOP). OOP is a way of tieing data and functions together. For instance, you define a CFC of Vehicle which has data properties of things like RunsOn (water, land, air), self-propelled (boolean), weight, color, MaxSpeed. It might also have functions that work with the data properties such as AdjustMaxSpeed(adjustmentValue) or ChangeColor(newColor). Then you might have a CFC that is Auto which extends Vehicle and adds data properties like NoWheels, NoCylinders, NoPassengers, MaxLoad. It might also have functions such as AdjustMaxLoad(adjustmentValue). It would also be able to call ChangeColor() even though it is not explicitly declared but inherits it from Vehicle. Then you might instantiate the CFC to MyCar = CreateObject(Car). Now MyCar represents a specific case of Car with particular values for the data properties. If you are just building a few web pages and just need a function that CF doesn't have, then a UDF will probably work fine. But if you are building an integrated application, you might want to consider CFCs. Robert J. Polickoski Senior Programmer, ISRD Inc. (540) 842-6339 [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM - RobertJFP -- Original Message -- From: Cedric Villat [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2003 09:06:38 -0800 I'm wondering what the difference between a UDF and a CFC really are. Can't I create UDF's which function just the same as a CFC with maybe a few differences? Just pass the parameters in the function instead of using the tag notation. Are there reasons why one would use a UDF instead of a CFC? Or are CFC's just MX's way of dealing with functions?

indirect reference

OT: innerHTML
All,
Thank you for your indulgence.
I am trying to dynamically set the options of a select based on
the option selected in a previous select. The javascript code for
a particular case is thus:
for (i=1; iProcess.length; i++)
case 8:
{
for (i=1; iProcess.length; i++)
{
document.getElementById(selectDoIndex).innerHTML
= document.getElementById(selectDoIndex).innerHTML + option
id='optionProcess + Process[i]['Index'] + ' title='Option +
Process[i]['ID'] + , + Process[i]['Description'] + ' value='
+ Process[i]['Index'] + ' + Process[i]['Name'] + /option;
}
break;
}
The select element it is referencing is:
select id=selectDoIndex name=DoIndex title=The specific
Thing to Do size=1
option id='optionSelectDoIndexDefault' title='Default for
Select Do Index' value=''Select.../option
/select
The problem is that on the first iteration through the loop it
chops off the opening option tag of the pre-existing entry
leaving only Select.../option plus the full entry of that
iteration. I have tried setting a variable to the existing
innerHTML plus the new and it contains what I want before I set
the select.innerHTML to it. Afterwards it contains everything but
the initial opening option tag. Does somebody know a way around
this annoying undocumented feature?
Again thank you.

RE: CFC Instance Identification
Paul, Thank you very much. I will certainly try your suggestion. Robert J. Polickoski Senior Programmer, ISRD Inc. (540) 842-6339 [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM - RobertJFP -- Original Message -- From: Paul Kenney [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2002 02:54:30 -0800 Robert, You can create a struct in the Server (or Application) scope that holds a reference to each instantiated object. Lets call this this Server.stObjects. Each object needs a unique ID, so a UUID will be perfect. Add a property called ObjectID in each component that you want to put inside this global reference struct. When an object is instantiated, simply set the ObjectID property to a newly generated UUID. Next, create a key in the global struct with its name set to the object's ObjectID and its value set to a reference to the new object. You can put all this in the constructor code. Here is the code: in Application.cfm: cfparam name=Server.stObjects type=struct default=#StructNew ()#/ in component file: cfcomponent cfproperty name=ObjectID type=UUID/ ... cfif NOT Len(this.ObjectID) cfset this.ObjectID = CreateUUID() cfset Server.stObjects[this.ObjectID] = this /cfif /cfcomponent To get the object back, simply use its ObjectID to access the key in the global struct. You might want to put this code into a base class so that you don't have to copy it all over the place. In that class you could add the private methods addRef, removeRef and getRef, placing the constructor code above in the addRef method. removeRef would simply remove the object's key from the global struct. getRef would return a reference to the object with the specified ObjectID value. I hope this sheds some light on the possible solutions to your problem.

Component Conceptual Conundrum
All, Thank you for your patience with my current component problems. I will admit, my primary background is in compiled programming environments. I have been able to work in a pure HTML/CGI environment for web apps using ASP with few conceptual issues. But the mixed environment of web-based applications that have some OOP capabilities is giving me some fits. I did some tests originally that showed I could access scoped variables (APPLICATION, CLIENT and SESSION) from within a component. My further work, I think has determined that you can only access the scoped variables when the method calls are to the cfc file directly as opposed to an instance of the object. REQUEST scope variables only exist for the duration of a single client-server request. My question is, how do you get access to persistent variables, i.e. those that would normally be in APPLICATION, CLIENT or SESSION, from within instantiated components? I have resolved the issue for static variables by creating a base object that all other objects extend containing the static data. But this does not work for variable data; at least I can't think how to make it work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Robert J. Polickoski Senior Programmer, ISRD Inc.

Re: Generating 'What's Related'
Jillian, It depends on how the data is tructured in the database, i.e. how do you identify whether or not a tool is used in the removal of an alternator in a 1997 Ford Taurus. This is what relational databases were designed for. But the table structure needs to be set up, or normalized, for relational operations. Select queries using JOINs and subqueries are the typical mechanism for incorporating data from multiple tables or multiple instances of the same table into one result set. Robert J.

What I want to do is this: I have a database of tools, and any 1 tool may be associated with a group of tools (also in the database) that are related. For instance: As a technician, you pull up the wrench used for removing alternators from a 1997 Ford Taurus. When you pull up this wrench, you also see a list of 'related tools' that are also used/required for removing alternators from a 1997 Ford Taurus. My problem is that there are thousands of tools in the database and there could be any number of 'what's related' tools for a single tool. How can I create a dialogue for easily adding 'what's related' tools? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Contribute and Studio Observation
Not that I am trying to be exclusive or pompous, but when you start allowing people who know nothing about web page design or development to design or develop web pages, you get web pages designed or developed by people who know nothing about the process. I think it is a dangerous trend to try to make all technology available to everyone. As a case and point: The professional secreatry is all but dead. Because the word processor is now available to everyone, everyone is expected to use it. Therefore, you now have middle executive types spending twice as long to develop documents at 3 times the cost with 1/2 the effectiveness because they really don't know how to write. Specialization is not always a bad thing. Is it so horrible to expect that if someone wants to use a technology, they actually learn how to use it. Just my $0.02. Robert J.

Now that we are allowed to talk about Contribute, I have to say the following: We have been told that MM is doing away with Studio/Homesite because they do not want to have more than one editing application in their application portfolio. I accepted this despite Dreamweaver's obvious issues that have already been covered to death. So what is the next application that MM releases? Another web editing application. I might be the only one that is irked by this, or maybe not, but it seems very odd to me. I wouldn't say that this new tool is in any way a replacement for CF Studio .. It's a web-based tool to allow non-technical ( or less- technical ) users to edit web content... So... it really in no way compares to Studio. What they're after is the wider audience of general, non-programmer business users, which is an entirely different market than Studio targeted. So I don't think it really relates (at least not directly) to their saying they didn't want to support more than one _traditional_ editing application. You wouldn't buy Contribute for the folks in your office currently using either CF Studio or Dreamweaver -- you'd buy Contribute for the folks in your office currently sending email to the folks using CF Studio or Dreamweaver to ask them to make changes.

RE: Contribute and Studio Observation
Well, then shouldn't that be a function of the overall design of the site. If you want user editable content, provide the means within the site for them to do this and store the changeable content in a database or some other mechanism rather than inventing some application that allows users to change the actual pages. Whether it is a reality or not, if the user thinks he is editing or creating web page content because you give him a tool to change the content of one specific div, your superflouessness will certainly cross his/her mind. Not to beat a dead horse, but why is it that Powerpoint 101 is a critical course for engineering students? Because graphic presentation departments went the way of the buggy whip when powerpoint was put on everybody's desktop. And I will be the first to say that I lament the trend because I am terrible at producing presentations but am forced to do it because the support organization no longer exists. To quote the C in C from The Undiscovered Country, just because we cand do a thing doesn't mean that we must do a thing, or even should. I guess I'm up to $0.04 now. Robert J.

Contribute seems to allow you to lock down everything, including fonts and styles, and just allow actual text content editing. So unless you make a living cutting and pasting text changes a client sends you, I wouldn't be too worried. The site, the code, and the initial content creation are all done by you, the developer/designer. Contribute comes into play when you start getting client phone calls (each call lasting 10 minutes at least) asking you to make a few text changes, or to use the new paragraph they're about to send you, or to hypothesize what text might be better that what is currently there. I do this too often, and it is *not* worth my time, and I'm sure I am losing money as a result. You could just have them buy Contribute and make the text changes they want. That keeps you coding (and happy) and the client happy. If you're worried about the fact that the client will no longer call you to change foxtrot to fox trot, you probably have way too much time on your hands, and I can only strongly suggest that you could probably make better use of creatively inclined mind. Besides, from my experience, even the tiniest modification takes 15 minutes (between the phone call, the popping open the site, locating the page, making the edit, e-mailing the client about the change, winding down). If I charge $125/hour, I can justify charging over $30 for fox trot to myself, but does that really make sense? I don't think so. Better to open up the content to the client, and focus on design and development. Plus, I'd bet that the fact that the client can edit the pages will excite him, and keep him occupied with the site, and keep them coming back to you for additions/modifications/answers.

Rick,
Yeah - the file explorer drives me crazy - all the files and
folders
together... If you have a complex directory structure it means
constantly
scrolling over to the right to find the right file.
Something else - DWMX has a bunch of wizards to write CF code.
One I saw
one demonstrated that was the data-entry wizard. It built a
form for
entering records into a database. You provide the DB and select
the form
elements etc. It was based on a recordset that you create. You
go through
the wizard and it creates code for you - including validation
code. But the
CF code very poor. It actuallly did this on the validation:
cfif #Form.Formname# NEQ
validate blah
/cfif
Notice the rookie use of the pound signs. It made me wonder if
CF server
folks were involved in the creation of the CF wizards at all.

Re: OT js question (child window passing back to parent)
Tim,
window.opener is the parent object. You can set any form element from the child
window using the Javascript statement window.opener.formname.inputelementname.value =
document.formname.fieldname.value;
I hope this helps.

Could anybody show me how I would pass values from a child window back to
the parent window? I have a form with a link that spawns a window, and from
the new page, the user selects some checkboxes. I wanted to pass the
values back into a form field in the parent window. I'm getting an error
message that says the parent window's form field is null or not an object.
Here is what I have:
Parent Window:
FORM NAME=newCaseInfo
ACTION=index.cfm?action=caseAnalysissubaction=createNewCase METHOD=POST
onSubmit=return validateUnits();
Form that I'm trying to populate with Child window data:
INPUT TYPE=text NAME=actionReason VALUE= SIZE=5 A
HREF=javascript:openFrameless2() CLASS=text9ptBlackCodes/A
Child Window:
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript
function passToParent()
{
window.opener.document.newCaseInfo.actionReason.value =
document.actionReason.actionReasonCode.value;
return false;
window.close();
}
/SCRIPT
FORM NAME=actionCode
ACTION=index.cfm?action=caseAnalysissubaction=createNewCase METHOD=POST
onSubmit=return passToParent();
INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=actionReasonCode VALUE=#actionReasonCode#

RE: Recursion
All, Thank you for your responses to my inquiry. As it turns out, the CFSCRIPT option is not viable because the point of the recursion was querying a database for records that represented subordinate records which might have subordinate records of their own. The cfmodule seems to take forever and therefore is not practical. In the end, I will have to change the design of the application. However, that is not necessarily a bad thing.

Does anybody know how to do recursion without the cffunction tag? If your recursive function is relatively simple, you can probably write it as a CF 5-compliant user-defined function, using CFSCRIPT. CFSCRIPT is a tag in which you can write CF commands using a JavaScript-like language, which uses the same syntax and control flow structures as JavaScript, but uses CFML operators and expressions. You can't use CFML tags within a CFSCRIPT tag, though, and CFSCRIPT doesn't support all the things you can do with CFML tags, such as querying a database. Keep in mind that the host would have to be using CF 5 or higher for this to work. Alternatively, you could write a recursive custom tag. However, this is the least desirable alternative, as custom tags don't provide any built-in ability to return values (you can write that ability into your code, though) and they tend to negatively affect performance. Nevertheless, if you need recursion and you're using a version of CF prior to 5, that's the only way you can do it within CFML.

Hello all,
I am running CFMX on WindowsXP Pro using the CF built in web server.
I have a problem with label formatting in a chart. I am trying to produce a Gantt
Chart. I want my Y axis labels to be dates within a specified range. I have set
them to the range and the labelformat attribute to date, but all the labels show up
as 12/31/69. I have tried adding an offset thinking it was an epoch date issue
without any difference in result. When I switch the labelformat to number, the
values are valid date serial values. How do I get dates to show up as Y Axis labels?
The pertinent portion of the code follows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
cfset StartDate = CreateDate(2002, 1, 1)
cfset EndDate = CreateDate(2002, 12, 31)
cfset NoWeeks = DateDiff(w, StartDate, EndDate)

them to the range and the labelformat attribute to date, but all the labels show up
as 12/31/69. I have tried adding an offset thinking it was an epoch date issue
without any difference in result. When I switch the labelformat to number, the
values are valid date serial values. How do I get dates to show up as Y Axis labels?
The pertinent portion of the code follows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
cfset StartDate = CreateDate(2002, 1, 1)
cfset EndDate = CreateDate(2002, 12, 31)
cfset NoWeeks = DateDiff(w, StartDate, EndDate)
cfchart format=flash scalefrom=#StartDate# scaleto=#EndDate#
gridlines=#NoWeeks + 1# seriesplacement=stacked showxgridlines=no
showygridlines=yes showborder=yes fontbold=no fontitalic=no
labelformat=number yaxistitle=Duration show3d=no rotated=yes sortxaxis=no
showlegend=no showmarkers=yes chartheight=400 chartwidth=1400

Subject: Re: cfchart labelformat=date
Hello all,
I am curious. I have seen numerous responses on just about every post but mine,
which I have posted twice. Did I violate a protocol? Or is this just an unsolvable
issue? I have been beating my head against the wall on this issue for 2 weeks.
Should I abandon ship and look for another way of doing this? OR have I found a bug?
Some feedback would be helpful.
Thank you,
Robert

cfchart labelformat=date
Hello all, I am using ColdFusionMX with the built in web server on a WindowsXP Pro system for development. I am trying to produce a Gantt Chart. cfset StartDate = CreateDate(2002, 1, 1) cfset EndDate = CreateDate(2002, 12, 31) cfset NoWeeks = DateDiff(w, StartDate, EndDate) cfchart format=flash scalefrom=#StartDate# scaleto=#EndDate# gridlines=#NoWeeks + 1# seriesplacement=stacked showxgridlines=no showygridlines=yes showborder=yes fontbold=no fontitalic=no labelformat=date yaxistitle=Dates show3d=no rotated=yes sortxaxis=no showlegend=no showmarkers=yes chartheight=400 chartwidth=1400 The problem is that the labels on the y-axis all show up as 12/31/69. When I set labelformat=number I get the appropriate date serial values. I have tried adding the datevalue of 12/31/69 thinking it might be an epoch offset issue without success. My question is, what type of data is it looking for to actually print dates (different ones) as labels? I cannot find any information on this in the documentation or on the Macromedia site. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Respectfully, Robert J.
