RE: Varaible Names with -
You could do the following if you don't have control of the DB:-)
cfquery name="qtest: datasource="datasource"
select `field-name` as FieldName from TableName
/cfquery
Notice the ` which is located under the tilda(~) key this will return the
fieldname as it was written in the DB. However you can't use this with CF,
so using the as command this will rename the field to anything you want it
to be.
So you could then reference it instead of qtest.field-name, but as
qtest.FieldName instead.
Hope this helps:-)

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but you should rename the
column. That's just plain bad database design to begin with. And there's
no need to add on another layer of unnecessary programming when all you've
gotta do is rename the field.

Subject: Varaible Names with "-"
Is there any way to pull out the information about a query column
that has a
"-" in it? The problem is that with SQL Server 2000, when you do a "for
xml" select statement, the column name that is returned has "-"s in it.
From the documentation in SQL Server 2000, I am not seeing a name
to rename
that. I am trying to pull out the xml from this query, but in order to do
this, I need to get at the data with a column name that has a "-"
in it. If
anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.

RE: [merger] Where to next?
I am sold on Macromedia/Allaire, but that damn -min keeps saying stuff that makes me think I gotta learn more before diving in. And this might mean fundamental changes to how I develop, and the tools I use. I'm jonsing for a smoke, so perhaps you shouldn't listen too closely to me these days. Min the Grumpy. But... short term (ie, the next year) I'd say it's pretty much business as usual. No significant changes. Don't panic. A year or so out though things get interesting I'm not saying the New Macromedia is bad thing. I mainly pointed out Flash is semi-doomed medium-term as more advanced browser technology becomes available. If the New Macromedia integrates Flash too tightly with CF (which will be a temptation) we may have a problem down the road. As long as it can be ignored, no real problem. Speaking of problems, the real one with Alliare is they can't seem to concentrate on the product at hand. First Spectra drains off resources. Then their new Java-based CF. How about focusing on the CF we're all using NOW? :) Not to denigrate Allaire's programmers, I'm sure they work hard, but HELL... I don't consider my a great programmer by any means, but most of the "bugs" and other issues that have been plaguing CF for years (especially the tcp/ip related ones) are things I could probably take care of myself over a long sleepless weekend with access to the source code. You have to wonder what their focus is at times. That's what's killing them them. Mismanagement of resources and priorities. (Though it does nicely bring about a decent crop of third-party suppliers of work-arounds. Although it may not be obvious at first, this does help to further the market base of a product as all these middleman will also push CF because it's in thier economic interest to do so.) Watch competitive tools. For application servers in order of preference. 1.) Zope 2.) ASP 3.) PHP Zope php. Not irrevelant, but... never will be mainstream. PHP probably will take the place of Perl in most geek hearts though. Worth a weekend to become "familiar" with. You'll probably have to deal with it occasionally. ASP ASP.NET. Going to be there and relevant as long as MS says it will be. You should be able to read ASP+ even if you never use it. I can almost assure you that at some point you'll either have to convert ASP code to CF or integrate a CF site with one written in an ASP.

RE: Storing/Encrypting Credit Cards
At 06:11 PM 1/17/01 -0500, you wrote: On 1/17/01, Jeremy Allen penned: Next, you should use a public/private key system and encrypt the credit card with a public key, store the private key's TOTALLY off the server. Hi Jeremy. Just curious. If the private key is created with a sufficient passphrase, how hard would it be for a cracker to use the private key to decrypt the data? It seems it would be difficult to use any sort of online encryption/decryption routine without the private keys stored on the server. Part of the problem is that when you store the private key totally off the server as stated, such as, behind a firewall that lies behind the server, protected from network entry, you have an issue retrieving the Credit Card info for the sake of the user, which could be the problem in this case. Encryption is not as much of a problem as decryption. You can set up your network to allow decryption behind the firewall behind the server but that means that you can't put the CC number in the form, which is what this is normally used for. The server can't make requests to the other side of the firewall, which is why the private key is safe. Basically it's a big nasty mess. Besides, if your encryption scheme isn't strong enough a hacker doesn't need a private key. You could store the last four digits in the database unencrypted and send that to the browser for user confirmation but your order processing would have to be on the other side of the firewall.

Netscape/CF_Twoselects oddity
Puzzled I'm using CF_Twoselects to manipulate a pair of drop down menus, populated by a simple SELECT query. In IE, this page has two nice drop down menus, the right one is populated by javascript based on what is chosen in the left drop down. In Netscape 4.6 and 4.7 (and other NNs for all I know but I've only tested in those two so far) the left hand menu drops down nicely, the right menu comes down one line with tiny spin buttons and cycles through the options one by one.

Re: HotMail in CF
You may want to have a look at iMS. iMS turns your ColdFusion server into a world-class mail server that utilizes CFML for all server logic. We have several large sites running iMS as a webmail back end (email me off-list for references). With iMS you don't need CFMAIL or CFPOP to send and receive mail (I don't think I would use CFMAIL and CFPOP for a large hotmail-like system). One of the most powerful features of iMS is that incoming mail is processed immediately by CFML so you can do most anything that you want. For example, we have a small demo set up that retrieves accuweather reports for a designated area. If you want to try it out send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] substituting x with a valid zip code. You will recieve a response with the weather within seconds of the iMS server receiving your request. There is more information on our site (along with a 60-day demo). Please feel free to send me mail if you have any questions. Since you're in Florida it may also interest you that the South Florida CFUG uses iMS.

Long Term: What will I develop in. How do I create a career path that supports my movement through these stages? How do I best focus my learning to be in the best position possible to take advantage of my next step environment. What are the trade offs as I move through my career development. [snip] Watch competitive tools. For application servers in order of preference. 1.) Zope 2.) ASP 3.) PHP Tomorrow. ? Next Year. ? [snip] one thing is for sure (and was sure before the merger!): You won't be developing in CF for the next 10 years. The same goes for PHP, ASP, etc. There will be more powerful servers and better tools to develop with. If we were to use the same language set for such a long period of time it would mean we're working on the slow side of the world. In fact it would be less interesting, even boring, and hardly 10% of the current developer community would exist. If you want to be a long term developer in the wide field of internet based apps (or whatever follows the thing we today call the internet), you got no choice but to keep watching, learning, re-orienting. As was said earlier in this discussion: We knew that CF would not be around forever. And also mentioned earlier: If CF will disappear I (too) trust in my abilities as a developer to do the same job in a different programming language.

RE: URLToken Algorithm
CFID is simply a sequential integer per machine CFTOKEN is, in default setting, assigned a random unsigned long int (0 x 2^32-1). If you're client needs to know the exact algorythm used to generate the random method, you'll probably have to ask an Allaire programmer. CF doesn't validate the CFTOKEN anymore (as of 4.5 I think, not sure) so you can use any value you want for it; as it's just to stop people hijacking sessions by entering in a sequential CFID. If you want, you can have a UUID appended to CFTOKEN by changing the UUIDToken key in the registry to 1 (I've never done this on a system w/o a registry before so not sure where it would be stored). [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Clients\] So if you're really uptight about someone guessing a 10 digit random number, either use your own algorythm to generate the CFTOKEN or concat the UUID on to the end.

Be aware though that the encryption at best is only a slight deterent to the completely uniformed. Due to the fact that code has to be decrypted by any system to run (meaning a set key is present) and done quickly so as not to impede performance (meaning a simple hash) decrypting is extremely simple. If you know much about crypto you can sit down and figure out how to reverse the hash in an afternoon, if you don't there are premade binaries or source for most platforms that decrypt the code. I'm not slamming the Allaire people here at all, they came up w/ the best they could I'm sure to balance the various aspects. -Original Message- From: Deb Dickerson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: January 17, 2001 22:46 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: How to encript source code?

We are the companies primary customers, and I am sure they would appreciate knowing what our thoughts and aspirations are for future and new products, rather than having to decide in other ways. I don't know how much would come out of it in tangible terms, if anything, but at least we can throw ideas and suggestions around, and if Macromedia want to take any of them up all well and good. But unless we tell them what we want, they won't know, and at the very least they can't turn round later in retrospect and say we didn't think of that, or we did not know developers wanted that.

Great idea Adam! [Was: Re: Adam, you got to be kidding?
Adam, I applaud you for doing things the right way - assuming that the client won't have javascript enabled. As a web developer, as well as a user of a variety of browsers in which there either is no javascript, minimal javascript, or javascript which works differently from version to version (lynx, netscape communicator 4.x and 6.x, and IE 5.x on Solaris), as well as a user who encounters users regularly who work in government or other industries where security requires them to disable both java and javascript, I applaud those doing the right thing - using javascript only in arenas where they total, 100% control of the user's environment. To dismiss any user who doesn't configure their browser to meet the the server's requirements seems to be the height of arrogance - similar to the car dealer who won't talk to a customer unless they are wearing a 3 piece suit, regardless of how much money they have to spend... -- Larry W.

RE: Flash 5.0 timeconsuming and cumbersome? Naaaahh....
LOL!! What the hey do you use to develop Flash man? Flash is great for even simple stuff on webpages, and the new Actions in Flash 5 are even better. Its a programming language, that you just have to learn like any other, but it isn't that difficult. It usually involves very simple IF THen statements that jump you between frames in the animation. Think about each animation frame like a Line Number in QBasic, and you just GOTO different portions depending on what events are triggered. That's basic Flash Programming there. It just gets complicated to actually come up with all those cool effects yourself, from scratch. THAT takes a lot of time, and trial and error. So leave that for the artists and the physicists :) And use sites such as www.flashkit.com , products like Swift 3D, Wildform and Swish to build your simple Flash files quickly and easily. This gets over the initial hurdle of learning the interface. You can also use Livemotion 1.0 from Adobe that gives you the layered goodness you're accustomed to in all the rest of Adobe's products. You don't necessarily have to use Macromedia Flash 5.0's development program, to create Flash 5.0 whizz-bang thingies (applets? :) ). That said, Macromedia's Flash 5.0's development interface needs a LOT of work to make it more userfriendly. SOmething that they should realise with the proliferation of tools such as Swish and Wildform. Of course the diehard Flash Developers may not appreciate them putting such ease of use functionality in the proggy, and making everyone a Flash-Head...but it would be a good thing for macromedia..and Allaire..no? :) If you want to add interactivity, then you still have to dip your hand into the programming teapot, but basic activity with Buttons etc. is preeetty easy. Anyways..I really disagree that Flash is a Terrible program, at least based on the issues you brought up: Time Consuming and Cumbersome. :) Have a great day! -Gel, who is in a FLASHY mood. *grips his trenchcoat with a lacivious stare at those around him* Hey..hey you..yeah..c'mere.. *FLASH!* ;-P -Original Message- From: Neil Clark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 18 January 2001 09:17 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Macromedia and Allaire to Merge Jeez, what is all this talk of Flash - it is a TERRIBLE program; far too time consuming and cumbersome. uurgggh N ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

string to number
I am trying to get a variable to work that would tell me how many rooms a
person would need if they has X amount of people in their party.
Here is the Code I am working with:
CFSET Grp=("form.adult + form.children")
CFSET SmRmRq=0
CFIF Grp LTE 4
CFSET SmRmRq=1
CFELSEIF (Grp GTE 5) and (Grp LTE 8)
CFSET SmRmRq=2
CFELSEIF (Grp GTE 9) and (Grp LTE 12)
CFSET SmRmRq=3
CFELSEIF (Grp GTE 13) and (Grp LTE 16)
CFSET SmRmRq=4
CFELSEIF (Grp GTE 17) and (Grp LTE 20)
CFSET SmRmRq=5
CFELSEIF (Grp GTE 21) and (Grp LTE 24)
CFSET SmRmRq=6
CFELSEIF (Grp GTE 25) and (Grp LTE 28)
CFSET SmRmRq=7
CFELSEIF Grp GTE 29
CFSET SmRmRq=8
/CFIF
The problem I am having is when you output grp it gives you the total of
form.adult + form.children. But when you use grp to set the variable
SmRmRq it goes to a string "number + number" and will not accurately
convert the variable.
Is there a way to change the grp to a number? In Javascript It would be
something like Var = (parseInt(form.adult) + parseInt(form.children))
Thanks in advance for any assistance,

How do you explain that to an important customer when a user with a javascriptdisabled browser who tried to submit a feedbackform couldn't get it to work, and phoned the company complaining about it? I agree that some funcionality can and should be done on the clientside using javascript, but I always develope webpages with basic functionality that everyone can use.

Jeez, what is all this talk of Flash - it is a TERRIBLE program; far too time consuming and cumbersome. uurgggh Flash has one use, and one use only - making pretty animations that are there to pad an otherwise bland page One of our clients wanted us to make a completely Flash site - we told them how long it would take to make updates (and thus us charging them), so they took the option to do the updates themselves (surprisingly) Occasionally you see something interesting in Flash, but it's an incredible rarity... I feel sorry for companies that only work in Flash, as they can't tell clients who has been where on their site - either by something like WebTrends or by logging to a database.

Hi Jeremy. Just curious. If the private key is created with a sufficient passphrase, how hard would it be for a cracker to use the private key to decrypt the data? It seems it would be difficult to use any sort of online encryption/decryption routine without the private keys stored on the server. Part of the problem is that when you store the private key totally off the server as stated, such as, behind a firewall that lies behind the server, protected from network entry, you have an issue retrieving the Credit Card info for the sake of the user, which could be the problem in this case. Encryption is not as much of a problem as decryption. You can set up your network to allow decryption behind the firewall behind the server but that means that you can't put the CC number in the form, which is what this is normally used for. The server can't make requests to the other side of the firewall, which is why the private key is safe. Basically it's a big nasty mess. Besides, if your encryption scheme isn't strong enough a hacker doesn't need a private key. You could store the last four digits in the database unencrypted and send that to the browser for user confirmation but your order processing would have to be on the other side of the firewall.

called I get the one below tcom_686_#. Why is it changing on me I
don't want it too.??How is that generated anyway.
Sorry to sound rude before...
Thanks

I have an app that sets a session id. The first time you call any
page(which uses application.cfm)it sets a number and works great. If i
refresh the page I get a var that looks like this tcom_686_### where
tcom is the application name, 686 is a number that is being incremented
everytime I call a new session. and changes randomly. Anyone ever seen
this???
Thanks

I agree that some funcionality can and should be done on the clientside using javascript, but I always develope webpages with basic functionality that everyone can use.

We do our validation server-side as we have a LOT of visitors to a couple of our sites who have JavaScript, Java and Cookies disabled, so we have to work around this Having everything in JS and saying "Well, the people without it just won't be able to use the system" is not only ignorant, but completely against Customer Service Are you going to stop someone from spending several thousand dollars (or whatever) on a shopping cart just because you want to only use JS validation? I'd suggest that your client asks you for the money for lost sales just because you rely on an option that can be turned off easily... then see how much you rely on client side validation g Also, with JS validation, someone smart enough could look into the code and see if there are any loop-holes If in doubt, use a mixture of client and server side validation, but never rely on just one...

RE: Great idea Adam! [Was: Re: Adam, you got to be kidding?
There's no point putting 'basic' functionality on a web site that's supposed to be for all of your users if it won't work on some of their browsers. How you can expect users to go back to your website if half of it doesn't work because they haven't got the right settings or the latest browser? This seems to be a very narrow minded attitude to have and will cost you potential customers and clients. Granted, a lot of the time you can have things that won't work on some browsers, but only if there's an alternative for people who may not have right settings and it doesn't loose any functionality or the message that you're trying to convey to the user.

RE: Macromedia and Allaire to Merge -- A couple examples of mixin g technologies
I'm afraid that Dave gave out the url of a very early prototype that we created over a year ago using Flash 4 and CF...the demo (with code ripped from the production app) is actually located here... http://www.figleaf.com/development/flash4/orgchart/orgchart.cfm This demonstrates the use of Flash and CF to create an org-chart interface. You can lookup users by name (passing information to a CF page for data retrieval) and then drag names into the appropriate locations on the chart. Clicking the Save button passes the information back to CF for DB processing. A couple additional benefits are that the org chart dynamically resizes based on browser resizing and the EXACT SAME CODEBASE works on Netscape 4.x and Internet Explorer... Other data-driven demos are available at http://www.figleaf.com/figleafhome/flash/ and the Harpoon project is all about creating data-driven Flash business objects from CF. At the ACFUG and ChiFug this month, I will be demonstrating using CF, Flash, Spectra, and Generator for content management purposes. This compelling mix of technologies is what we feel will drive the web in the future. Is it a panacea? No...but it does deliver many compelling advantages.

RE: Adam, you got to be kidding?
your guess? when i devlelop intranets/extranets i use javascript because the client can tell its employees/partners what the requirements are for using a given web-based applicaton. however, when i develop publicly accessed sites i don't rely on javascript. the reason is it can be turned off, not whether i guess at how many people have/leave it turned on. the sites i build and maintain generally have moderately high traffic and inevitably there are people who write in and say "this didn't work" or "why did this happen". it depends on the scope of work and who the audience is. but if your audience is big enough, you'll get feedback here and there by not conforming to a low common denominator with respect to browser capabilities. i'm not saying you're doing it right or wrong, but i am saying you shouldn't blatantly dismiss it as a development methodology. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2001 5:15 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Adam, you got to be kidding?

SELECT

FROM
TABLE
for xml auto,elements
It returns a one column result whose name is
XML_F52E2B61-18A1-11d1-B105-00805F49916B and the xml is broken up to a
certain number of characters per line. What I want to do is to put that back
together as a single xml string that I can get my hands on, but because of
the name that Microsoft creates, I can't loop through it with Cold Fusion.

You could do the following if you don't have control of the DB:-)
cfquery name="qtest: datasource="datasource"
select `field-name` as FieldName from TableName
/cfquery
Notice the ` which is located under the tilda(~) key this will return the
fieldname as it was written in the DB. However you can't use this with CF,
so using the as command this will rename the field to anything you want it
to be.
So you could then reference it instead of qtest.field-name, but as
qtest.FieldName instead.
Hope this helps:-)

Please ... I just checked Webtrends for browser types hitting our site and 98% of all browsers are NN 4+ and IE 4+ ... with the over 60% being IE 5. With a sample of over 5 million hits. You really are going to tell the website owner to ante up another X thousands of dollars to develop downward browser capability? Not to mention the cost of maintaining the various website variants. Let me see ... you could lose one or two sales to the 2% of browser that don't support scripting/have scripting enabled ... or you spend 50K and capture them. Cost verus payoff? Ohhh, and let me guess ... you also develop non-cookie-based/non-session-based site variants also! Cha Ching! And don't even think about all the people who can't read English? Let me see 2% of the people speak Yiddish ... so let's spend 50K to present our site in Yiddish? You got to be kidding!

This seems to be a very narrow minded attitude to have and will cost you potential customers and clients. Granted, a lot of the time you can have things that won't work on some browsers, but only if there's an alternative for people who may not have right settings and it doesn't loose any functionality or the message that you're trying to convey to the user.

RE: string to number
Steve,
As long as you keep your ranges as you have them in your If statements, the
following formula should yield the correct result. I know this doesn't
address the question that you asked, but others have responded to that, and
I just couldn't help fiddling. Hope you don't mind.
CFSET Grp=("form.adult + form.children")
CFSET SmRmRq=0
!--- The \ in this formula is correct. ---
CFSET SmRmRq=Iif(Grp LTE 28,(Grp-1)\4+1,8)
Of course, this is harder to modify in the future, should one range change.
I'm also not sure whether it runs slower or faster. I am still not sure
whether my obsession with physically compact code runs counter to good
programming sense. I guess I should flip through a CS book!

Subject: string to number
I am trying to get a variable to work that would tell me how
many rooms a
person would need if they has X amount of people in their party.
Here is the Code I am working with:
CFSET Grp=("form.adult + form.children")
CFSET SmRmRq=0
CFIF Grp LTE 4
CFSET SmRmRq=1
CFELSEIF (Grp GTE 5) and (Grp LTE 8)
CFSET SmRmRq=2
CFELSEIF (Grp GTE 9) and (Grp LTE 12)
CFSET SmRmRq=3
CFELSEIF (Grp GTE 13) and (Grp LTE 16)
CFSET SmRmRq=4
CFELSEIF (Grp GTE 17) and (Grp LTE 20)
CFSET SmRmRq=5
CFELSEIF (Grp GTE 21) and (Grp LTE 24)
CFSET SmRmRq=6
CFELSEIF (Grp GTE 25) and (Grp LTE 28)
CFSET SmRmRq=7
CFELSEIF Grp GTE 29
CFSET SmRmRq=8
/CFIF
The problem I am having is when you output grp it gives you
the total of
form.adult + form.children. But when you use grp to set the variable
SmRmRq it goes to a string "number + number" and will not accurately
convert the variable.
Is there a way to change the grp to a number? In Javascript
It would be
something like Var = (parseInt(form.adult) + parseInt(form.children))
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Steve Doran :)

Open up the Services applet in the Control Panel. Click on the ColdFusion Application Server, then Startup. Look at the "Log On As" options. The simplest way to solve this problem is to make sure that you're using the System Account. Do the same for the other ColdFusion services: Executive RDS. Now I'm assuming that the DSN you're trying to hook up is for an Access database. Find that MDB file on the server and check it's permissions by right-clicking on it, choosing properties, then security, then permissions. If you used the SYSTEM account for the services, then it won't matter what permissions are applied here, but if you used any other account, make sure that same account has full control of the MDB file. Hopefully this helps. Basically, to sum it all up, don't screw with the account settings unless you understand Windows NT security! ---mark -- Mark Warrick Phone: (714) 547-5386 Fax: (714) 972-2181 Personal Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal URL: http://www.warrick.net Business Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Business URL: http://www.fusioneers.com ICQ: 346566 -- -Original Message- From: Peter J.

RE: any ideas?
Jay,
How about the following nested Iif statement?
tr bgcolor="#IIf(DirList.CurrentRow Mod 2, DE('E7'),
Iif(ElseIfCondition, DE('FAFAFA'), DE('OtherColorCode'))#"
I don't exactly understand what your conditions/results are, but I use this
sort of 3-way If statement all the time in Excel. An example:
MyVal LT 5, return " 5"
MyVal GTE 5, AND LTE 10 return "5-10"
MyVal GT 10, return " 10"
CFSET MyResult="#Iif(MyVal LT 5, DE('5'), Iif(MyVal LTE 10, DE('5-10'),
DE('10')))#"
And you can, of course, keep nesting as deep as you want. Great in Excel,
where you must put all the processing in a single formula (unless you write
a VBA macro). Maybe it gets a little confusing here, though, where the
visually clearer CFIF statements are an option.
Hope this helps,
Matthieu
