String Formating

2001-01-28 Thread Chad Elley

I have a form which I am dumping into a database.  I need to keep the
formatting that was used when submitting form (line breaks and spaces).

What I would like to do is replace spaces and breaks with "nbsp;" and
"br"

How do I replace line breaks with a br?

By the way, I dont want to use pre/pre to format the text.

RE: String Formating

2001-01-28 Thread C. Hatton Humphrey

You can do a cfset NewString = Replace(String, "#CHR(10)##CHR(13)#",
"br", "ALL") to replace the CR/LF.  I may have those backwards (the 10
and 13), but that will give you the results you're looking for.

As far as the double-spaces, you can use cfset NewString = Replace(String,
"  ", " nbsp;", "ALL")

They can't be used in a WHERE, you can only deal with them in the SELECT

If I understand your statement correctly, I think I have to take issue.
I have a newsletter app I've been working on where the following code
works just fine (article_text is an Access memo field, and criteria is
the form field):

WHERE article_text LIKE '%#criteria#%'

Maybe an exception to the rule?

OT: Netscape Browser Frames Problem

2001-01-28 Thread Eron Cohen

I am wondering if anyone has any ideas of what causes
this FRAMES problem with Netscape 4.x browsers.

I have two frames.  Frame 1 has a form with its action
targeted to frame 2.  The first time the form is
submitted, it correctly targets frame 2, but the next
time you submit the form in frame 1 it opens a new
window instead of targeting frame two.  The code in
frame 1 hasn't changed at all, it just seems to only
correctly target frame 2 once...and then from then on,
it opens a new window.

Is this a bug in Netscape Communicator 4.7?  Does
anyone know of any ways around this problem.

Thanks,

Eron

Re: Finding last record

2001-01-28 Thread Jeffry Houser


 I'm jumping into this thread late, so excuse me if this is way off base.
 We could use CFTRANSACTION to prevent other users from inserting another record.

  As the original had requested, this is not an uncommon way to do it:

   CFTRANSACTION

   CFQUERY
 Insert into table () values ()
   /CFQUERY

CFQUERY
   select tableID from table where values = values
 /CFQUERY

  /CFTRANSACTION

  The second query will contain the ID of the data we just entered.

CFQUERY
select Max(tableID) AS MaxTableID from table
/CFQUERY

You would call it as #Queryname.MaxTableID#

Also, you can find a Custom Tag that does this automagically at
www.fusebox.org

  I'm jumping into this thread late, so excuse me if this is way off base.
  We could use CFTRANSACTION to prevent other users from inserting
 another record.

   As the original had requested, this is not an uncommon way to do it:

CFTRANSACTION

CFQUERY
  Insert into table () values ()
/CFQUERY

 CFQUERY
select tableID from table where values = values
  /CFQUERY

   /CFTRANSACTION

   The second query will contain the ID of the data we just entered.

Re: 255 character max in Access ???

2001-01-28 Thread Paul Hastings

  WHERE article_text LIKE '%#criteria#%'

 ODBC datasource (about 2 years or so ago) you couldn't do this, and you
 definitely can't do it (directly) with SQL Server... maybe in the updates
 they got around this problem... or am I just over-tired?

over-tired again. in sql server you can certainly use TEXT data-types
in WHERE clauses, what would be the point in having TEXT data-types
otherwise? they can't be used in GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING,
 COMPUTE or DISTINCT (part of the SELECT statement).

RE: stop reposting of form data

Fusebox does do that... You simply make the form action piont to an action

then cflocation to a success page or anywhere else..

I think this is how Fusebox gets around the problem of having all requests
go to the same page (index.cfm) (dont quote me on that... I dont know much
about Fusebox...)

But the problem with this is you are causing another round-trip from the
client to server and back again.

Does anyone have a method that DOESN'T cause this delay?

click "Refresh",the information could be entered twice, thats bad!

The solution is to have 3 templates.  First template has the form fields.
The second template does the dirty work, ya know, inserting stuff into
database. At the end of that template, do a CFLOCATION to template 3, which
says 'Thanx man, you've made me richer!".  Now, if the user refreshes, they
get the same message, but no form data is reposted.  cool eh?

Considerations:  if u need to display some data from the form variables on
that last page, like "Thank you, [Name], yo've made me richer!" , i say do
a
CFlocation (ex. url="thanxpage.cfm?name="Form.name")  in the middle
template
with URL variables and display them on the third page.

Yeah, I've pretty much being going down the same path. I've got
multi-language storage happening quite well. A note though, make sure you
attach language attrib to your page, that way you can specify the char set
to use for the page, therefore making sure the user loads the correct
charset.

I have been considering this myself.  What I may implement is storing all of
the web text in a database table for each language (CF doesn't support
unicode right now) and use a URL variable to determine which language to
retrieve from the database and then server the page using CF.

I haven't gotten much beyond the concept stage, but any meb content
management system should be able to be modified for this purpose.

RE: Web Chat using CF?

2001-01-28 Thread Raymond B.

For this type of interaction a java applet is the best way to go. CF is
server side parser, to use it as a chat interface would require constant
posting and reloading of a page... not exactly ideal. There are a whole
bunch of commercial 'live rep' chat applets available and some free ones as
well.

http://www.humanclick.com/   -- Popular one (though I'm not overly fond of
it myself)

I can't find my other bookmarks for it, but a few searches should yield some
good results. For  some nice GPLed ones check on SourceForge. Which you go
w/ will obviously be affected by your features wanted, chosen platform (for
server side component if not run in jvm), db interface, etc.

As a note: I'd remove any thought of using NetMeeting or anything else
platform specific; as well as the customer actually having to have it (and
the OS to run it), know they have it, open it up, and enter in the ip.

Politics RULE - GRRRRRRR

2001-01-28 Thread Mike Kear

Guys, I have a political problem here and I'm looking for ammunition.  I
want to head off this problem before it causes me damage  

I share a site with a competitor who is doing a lot of ASP work on my
client's site.  I do a whole lot of ColdFusion work and we're supposed to be
working together.  For 15 months we've had no problem.  We've kept the two
parts of the site separate and they don't get in each other's way except to
share some processor time, disk space (I keep all the CF stuff in my own
folders away from their work)  and SQL Server processing time.  (I have my
own databases in SQL so they don't get in the way either).

Suddenly, the ASP developer is under pressure for non-performing work -
unless he does something dramatic, he's about to lose his contract, and is
looking for a way to dump the blame on me.  (My client doesn't think he's
done much of a job at all, but he's had the lion's share of the dollars so
far so he has to at least pause to listen to what he's told.)

The ASP Developer's strategy is to whine that their development server isn't
an exact copy of the live server.  (It hasn't been for 15 months - they
didn't even realise there was cold fusion on the live server.)

So they want me to put all my ColdFusion templates on their development
server instead of the live server and they'll  load them onto the live
server for me. (Ahh!! how nice of them!)  They're saying that this will
enable them to verify that my templates aren't going to impact negatively on
their work or cause undue cycles on the processor, or hinder the SQL server
handling their calls.   They want to put (get this!!) Front Page
extensions on their development server, so it can handle the deployment of
my ColdFusion work up onto the live site.

A little about my work for this site ... its predominantly built using ASP,
which builds flat files from the SQL Database once a day.  So the site has
1500 or so flat files, plus another few hundred pages drawn as pay-per-view
pages from the SQL Server.  My ColdFusion work is a whole series of small
stand-alone applications, consisting mostly of SELECTS and display tables
from small tables.  They have no session variables, application variables
etc except for an admin area to update the tables that might be used by one
person for a day or two a month. In terms of page views, the ColdFusion
would amount to a maximum of 20% of the overall traffic.

I build on my local machine, test using a duplicate of the SQL Datasource,
then deploy data and templates to the live server.

What I need is reasons why the ASP Developer ought not to have my templates
on his server first.  I know the REAL reason is so he can chip away at my
credibility by picking fault with my work, but of course that's not how it's
going to be presented to the client.  I don't want a competitor approving my
work before it gets deployed.

Cheers,

You have to wrap your output with an Evaluate(), so your code should be
something like:

See if that works for ya

Well if this were the company that employed you asking this, then it would
be up to you todo what they wanted, but since techincally this is a
competitor and they could easily mess around with your coding, not saying
they will, but they could. I would be totally against this, it's politics
and they can't prove anything. If anything all I would allow is for them to
use a copy of your code, which they can since they have access, and test it
on thier live server. Then they can come to you with anything they find. I
think they just want you to be a cop out and make your life difficult, best
to never let your guard down.

problem with scheduled task

2001-01-28 Thread WL

Hi All,

I had set up a scheduled task indexing a verity collection once every day.

It was working fine - even when the mapped IP addresses were changed so that
the public intranet cd not be accessed temporarily.

After that the IP address was changed again; and making the change in the
scheduled task did not result in the indexing of the verity collection even
though the scheduler log indicates that the task was completed succesfully.

Any ideas wd be much appreciated.

Thanks and regards

RE: Politics RULE - GRRRRRRR

2001-01-28 Thread C. Hatton Humphrey

Just a thought on this topic, but what would be wrong with encryping the
code that you give to the ASP developer so they can't mess with things?
This would also mean you'd have to encrypt the copy you have on the live
server.  I've used custom tags that are encrypted and they function as
advertised, so it may be a possible solution.

Also throw in that they would have to buy another $5,000 copy of cold 
fusion for the development machine, and it would just be cheaper to buy 
another server - one for cold fusion (move cold fusion off the other server 
onto the new one), one for asp and to let you run the cold fusion server.

Re: Politics RULE grrrrrrrrrrr

2001-01-28 Thread Mark Smeets

Hi there,

Wow, that is a problem. I sort of had something similar happen to me a while 
ago (vaguely similiar, nothing that concrete) but the solution in my case, 
was to get support behind me, in my case, the board. If you have the board 
(of directors, executives, whatever they're called in your company) you 
don't have to worry about a thing.

If your boss knows that this guy isn't doing his job and knows that he's 
trying to snub you out, then you and your boss should be doing something 
about that.

Now, some may say that this is a no no (and you'll have to forgive me if I 
am blunt and misdirected in my idea) BUT why not confront this guy. If he 
isn't doing what he was hired to do, point this out and when that's done, if 
this is a problem that has persisted for some time, point out that he's had 
15 months to correct it and done nothing. (Now what I need is for some 
politically savvy person to put this in political phrasing hehehe).

I guess the thing is, if you're going along just fine, staying under 
everyones radar, doing a good job, people like you etc...there is no reason 
you can't stand up for yourself and point out that this guy is trying to 
screw you over.

I'll describe my situation that I've had (still do really), I just wanted to 
get a decent solution out first instead of boring you all with my story 
first :)

Basically there is this female staff member who wants my job because she 
thinks that she can do a better job at it, and for that matter, give the 
work to her friends. Now, I've been hard at work on this website for 3 years 
and we're finally going to make the jump into the whole dynamic site era 
(yay for cf and me) Unfortunately, because we had a new president, this 
staff member tried to screw with me and become the rogue link in the chain 
of command. So I ended up getting a phone call from her 1 day about how the 
new president wants to take the whole site down, put up an under 
construction sign and then wait for further instructions. Turns out she 
wasn't as smart as she thought she was, I gave the presidents secratary a 
call and I told her what happened, well gosh, no instructions like that ever 
came from the president, or anyone, so take a guess at who go in trouble. 
The female staff member. She didn't get fired (tho I would have if it was 
me) but as a result a few months later, I pretty much had the entire Board 
of Directors behind me (still do) and this staff member hasn't messed with 
me since.

Of course, she refuses to publish the website url in the staff newspaper, or 
anything web related but that's how she thinks she's getting back at me.

Point is, one phone call to the right person and the situation was dealt 
with. I would be standing up for yourself. you don't need to defend WHY 
you're applications should be on somebody elses server. That is their job 
and if you can prove otherwise, it just makes them look bad. You already 
have an enemy, the ASP guys :)
