RE: CF substring?
is there any substring function for CF? 1) Open CF Documentation 2) Click on "Functions" 3) Click on "String Functions" 4) Look down list Total time taken - less than 30 seconds Alternatively 1) Send email to CF-Talk 2) Wait 5 minutes for response 3) Not learn how to lookup functions To be honest (and I may be being harsh here), but if you worked for me, you'd be on a written warning or out of the door Anyone too lazy to do 30 seconds of checking in the docs just wouldn't work for me!

RE: Performance Tests
So if I need to loop over the contents of one column of a large
query, which would be faster:
cfloop query="big_query"
...do stuff with #column1#...
/cfloop
cfloop list="#ValueList(big_query.column1)#" index="i"
do stuff with #i#...
/cfloop
cfset myarray=ListToArray(ValueList(big_query.column1))
cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#ArrayLen(myarray)#"
do stuff with myarray[#i#]...
/cfloop
this needs to be a cfloop since I'm using tags in it.
Looping over lists, and list functions are always slower than referring
directly to an array or a query
There is another alternative;
If you're not doing a CFOutput
cfscript
for (i=1; i lte big_query.recordCount; i=i+1)
{ do stuff with big_query.Column1[i];
}
/cfscript
or if you need CFOutput
cfloop index="i" from=1 to="#big_query.recordCount#"
do stuff with big_query.Column1[i]
/cfloop

Hints'n'Tips page - any tags I can download?
Before I start to develop an app from scratch, I thought I'd ask if anyone know of a custom tag or app that 's already done, that might give me all or most of what I need ... I have a hints and tips page, where I collect common questions and add the answers. So it's just a FAQ page. But there will quite often be several valid answers to a question, and I'd like to be able to have them all on the site. Some of the answers have illustrations to go with them, and some can be quite long - several paragraphs. And I'd like them to be searchable, so that means either verity collection or database. So ... as I said, I can set up a complete app myself, but it would be a whole lot better and quicker to get done if there was something already done, or even someone else's app I could pick ideas from.

CFHTTP and creating csv recordset problems...
Not a problem I have had as yet... There is a documented feature of CFHTTP that allows you to load up a comma-delimited file into memory via CFHTTP. This is useful if (and this is the case) you can't use CFFile to load up a comma-delimited file (CFX_File has a max size of 64KB for a read) and you can't set up a csv datasource in the CF Administrator. Using CFHTTP you can load up a comma-delimited file into a recordset like this: cfhttp url="http://www.myurl.com/mytextfile.csv" method="GET" name="data" columns="title,keywords,mytext,x" /cfhttp and this then loads the cfhttp.filecontent as a query, and you can reference that query via: cfoutput cfquery name="data" b#title#/bbr#keywords#br#mytext# /cfquery /cfoutput "Hooray" you might think! This means that if someone disables the CFFile tag, you can still load up data from a comma-delimited list! Problem: The documentation says that if you don't specify the columns, CF ignores the first line of the page and uses those values as the column names. I run this with column names, and it ignores the first line anwyay and just goes to the second line. It also seems to ignore the last line. I have tried several things like adding a line break and/or carriage return at the start and end. I have tried testing on just one record... It seems to think that the first line has the wrong number of comma-delimited fields and so it won't put it into the recordset. However, I have checked the missing records, and they have the same number of fields as every other one (it's a database export - from a database I don't have any access to, so I need an export - so it should do!). If you've got this far, then you've done well. If you can think of anything else then please tell me. If you know of any problems, then let me know!

RE: Is Web Printing Without margin header and footer possible?? (Urge nt)
Perhaps the easier, but more time consuming, method would be to include a 'print' button which then prints a formatted .txt or .pdf file of the same content on the page. I know you can do this via Flash with ActionScript. Not a terribly elegant concept, I know, but hey, it would work with near 100% cross-browser compatibility. Yours In Conservation, Guy J. McDowell, Webmaster The Ontario Federation of Anglers Hunters E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (705) 748-6324 ext. 262 www.OFAH.org i need to handle a lot of web printing, printing of many different forms for company use. Are there any ways whereby i can create a print button, after user trigger the print button, it will print the html document but it will not print the margin header and footer such as the web url, page no etc. I do not want any of those to be printed. But how should i do it ?? Currently i am using Script X. It will handle the printing part , without printing the margin headers and footers. But Script X does not seem to work on Japanese Version OS.

Re: find and replace
If this is how it is on your live server: #dateformat(dt, 'dd/mm/yy')# as 03/09/01, then the way it is formatting is correct. Change the format to DateFormat(dt,"mm/dd/yy") and it should be correct. Otherwise, I would output your date without formatting and see what it looks like. Then I would play with the formatting to get the desired results.

RE: input type=file
If you want to capture the name of the file in an input type="file", you
have to write a javascript event that fires on the input field... copying
the filename to a hidden field. This *can* happen before you perform the
upload.
I do not know if you will ultimately be able to do the cfmail mime-attach,
though. You might have to do the upload first.
Here's an example:
function copy2hidden(filefield) { //filefield parameter is the
file html element
if (filefield.value.length != 0) { //
filefiled must have content
//alert(filefield.value)
document.forms["uploadfile_pickfile"].fullfilename.value = filefield.value;
// set hidden field with name of file
//alert(document.forms["uploadfile_pickfile"].fullfilename.value)
}
}
form name="uploadfile_pickfile" action="..." method="post"
input type="file" name="file" value=""
onClick="loadfilelist(destination.value)" readonly="1"
/form

dynamic query construction
I am building an application that will allow an end-viewer to search a staff directory
based upon either partial or full last name (a text field), or department (a
dynamically populated select menu).
I am trying to initiate and post the results of this dynamic query using end-viewer
input from a form that exists on the same page as the query.
Though new to ColdFusion, I believe I am close to having the query constructed
properly. In fact, I don't get an error message when running the page
(http://134.29.247.12/facultyStaffDirectory/index.cfm) AND performing a SEARCH.
Unfortunately, I get no results from the SEARCH either.
I am not sure how to re-initiate a query with data from a form that exists on the same
page as the query. And I am stumped... all help is very much appreciated.

RE: dynamic query construction
I haven't looked at your code in detail, but as a first step, I would turn
on debugging, see exactly what query is being generated by your code and
what form values are being returned, and then try running that query
directly in your db tool.
Actually one issue on my quick scan is:
cfoutput query="qGetDept"
option value="2"#qGetDept.DepartmentName#/option
/cfoutput
This form field will only return 1 or 2, which seems like it probably won't
match on department name in this code:
CFIF FORM.DepartmentName IS NOT " "
AND DepartmentName = '#FORM.DepartmentName#'

Subject: dynamic query construction
I am building an application that will allow an end-viewer to search a staff
directory based upon either partial or full last name (a text field), or
department (a dynamically populated select menu).
I am trying to initiate and post the results of this dynamic query using
end-viewer input from a form that exists on the same page as the query.
Though new to ColdFusion, I believe I am close to having the query
constructed properly. In fact, I don't get an error message when running the
page (http://134.29.247.12/facultyStaffDirectory/index.cfm) AND performing
a SEARCH.
Unfortunately, I get no results from the SEARCH either.
I am not sure how to re-initiate a query with data from a form that exists
on the same page as the query. And I am stumped... all help is very much
appreciated.

RE: CFObjects vs. FuseBox vs. Good CFML Code and SmartObjects
Thank you for the real world opinions on the fusebox, it does seem to be something worth trying again, but has anybody out there ever used CFObjects and/or SmartObjects? With all this Java hoopla and Object Oriented programming we all like to use, why don't I hear anything about those two CF methods? Perhaps the reason for their relative unpopularity is that CFML is almost as far from an object-oriented language as you can get. If you want object-oriented web development, you'd probably prefer Java.

Verity and highlighting keywords
Goal: To have the Verity search result pages display highlighted search query keywords. Progress: I have set up Verity to search a collection of .cfm content pages, display search results as links, and drill down to the content of the pages. Everything's working great. Next Step: I want to add functionality so that the keywords on the drill-down pages are highlighted in a different color. Initially, I thought about using cfhttp and then doing a ReplaceNoCase on the resulting cfhttp.FileContent structure. But the content files are on my Web server file system so why incur the overhead of cfhttp?. The next thought was to use cffile to load the content .cfm into a variable for the search and replace. I am having trouble getting a .cfm MIME type content page loaded into a variable. The content pages consist of .cfm's because they have server side includes on them. Am I on the right track in trying to load the content page into a variable? Is there another approach? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

I have an admin page which can be accessed thru a login page. However, as
it now stands, if someone were to learn bookmark that page, he or she could

You can set up a very simple security either using cookies or a session
variable after the member successfuly logs in. If everyone has the same
password you can have something like this on the page that the login form
points to:
cfif FORM.Password IS NOT "letMeIn"
cflocation url="login.cfm"
cfelse
cfcookie name="login" value="yes"
script
window.location = "admin/index.cfm"
/cfscript
/cfif
The reason for the script tag is that you can't set a cookie while you use
cflocation.
Have the login template and the action template outside the directory where
the application.cfm page that will test for the existence of the cookie or
session variable otherwise you would get a loop going.
In the application.cfm page you can test for the existence of the cookie or
session variable and if it does not exist send them back to the login page
with cflocation something like:
cfif NOT IsDefined("COOKIE.Login")
cflocation url="../login.cfm"
/cfif
You can do the same with a session variable. If you don't want to use the
application.cfm page you just have the above cookie test on every page that
you want secured.
If everyone uses the same password to get in its easy. If different
passwords are required you need to set up a database or have a text file
that you can look for password matches.

RE: How to fast big query result on browser
George, How is anyone going to use a select box with 21,000 options? Don't you think that's too many for someone to look through when making a selection in a select box? You should try getting some parameters from the user first and pass those to the query so you don't have so many options in one box. Have them enter the category, or maybe some sort of alphabetical search, but do something that will narrow down the query results.

Is there a disadvantage to using form post over hyperlinks. I am referring to situations where you can just as easily do a hyperlink and pass a value through the url. My mind tells me that having navigation on an entire site will be a slower site. Never done any testing, but I very much doubt if there would be any difference in the speed of navigation. The browser will make a request that is processed by the server and display the page that's returned, whether you're posting form variables or clicking on a hyperlink. The server doesn't care if it sees any variables passed to it as form. scoped or url. scoped. However, I would have thought it would be quicker to code URL query strings in your .cfm templates than several lines of hidden form inputs each time. Plus closing FORM tags create a small area of whitespace beneath them. That could mess up your front-end design. On the whole, for navigation, use hyperlinks. Use forms when you're requesting information from the user and for "Click here to pay for your goods" type links. -- Aidan Whitehall [EMAIL PROTECTED] Netshopper UK Ltd Advanced Web Solutions Services http://www.netshopperuk.com/ Telephone +44 (01744) 648650 Fax +44 (01744) 648651 ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: How to fast big query result on browser
I agree with Jason. I think many users would walk away from a site that asked them to use a selectbox with 21k items in it. Just think how long that would take just to read each option Crikey!! Are there any relationships with any other data? One thing to try if it's feasible is group the 21k items to another group of items, sort of like: Project Module Module Module Module Module Project Module Module etc... That way the user first selects a "Project" which then limits the next selectbox to just those items that belong under that particular project. I don't know if your data is or can be arranged like that but it's one idea. If so there is a handy tag, I've used a few times in the DevEx. called TwoSelectsRelated.. Very handy. J.

RE: Performance Tests
Thanks, but I solved it completely differently by re-coding my original
query. I was looping thru the query to run a separate query and sticking the
results of the second query in a structure (since I needed a list of
associated values for each record in the main query). This was mega-slow,
since there are now 850+ records in the main query, which means 850+ small
queries.
I finally realized I could do the same thing using "order by" and "cfoutput
group". I don't know why it took me so long!!! I was banging my head against
the wall trying to come up with a clever way to replicate the Sybase LIST()
function in MS SQL (which may be impossible given my DB design).
Now the big query takes about 200ms longer, but I've cut out about 10
seconds not doing the many small queries.

So if I need to loop over the contents of one column of a large

cfloop query="big_query"
...do stuff with #column1#...
/cfloop
cfloop list="#ValueList(big_query.column1)#" index="i"
do stuff with #i#...
/cfloop
cfset myarray=ListToArray(ValueList(big_query.column1))
cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#ArrayLen(myarray)#"
do stuff with myarray[#i#]...
/cfloop
this needs to be a cfloop since I'm using tags in it.
Looping over lists, and list functions are always slower than referring
directly to an array or a query
There is another alternative;
If you're not doing a CFOutput
cfscript
for (i=1; i lte big_query.recordCount; i=i+1)
{ do stuff with big_query.Column1[i];
}
/cfscript
or if you need CFOutput
cfloop index="i" from=1 to="#big_query.recordCount#"
do stuff with big_query.Column1[i]
/cfloop

RE: Dynamic Left-hand side of an assignment? Was: query a query.
Have you tried the SetVariable( name, value ) function?
you can either do
cfscript
SetVariable( "qryGet_current_#param#_values",
QueryNew(qryGet_current_NT_values.columnlist) );
/cfscript
or
cfset dummy = SetVariable( "qryGet_current_#param#_values",

Subject: Dynamic Left-hand side of an assignment? Was: query a query.
OK, that's what I've tried but now I'm having problems with creating the
query name on the fly and making assignments to it.
I get an error about left-hand side assignment when I try something like
this:
cfset "qryGet_current_" param "_values" =
QueryNew(qryGet_current_NT_values.columnlist)
or
cfset qryGet_current_#param#_values =
QueryNew(qryGet_current_NT_values.columnlist)
I tried using evaluate but you can't use function calls on the LHS of an
assignment.
Is it possible to refer to the LHS of an assignment dynamically?

I don't know of a custom tag, but if you use Query functions, you can fake
it.
Use QueryNew(myCFQUERY.columnlist) to create a new query object.
Then iterate through your CFQUERY and check for whichever values you want.
You can get clever by using valueList on your CFQUERY object to create
lookup lists; you could then get a listposition from the lookup list, and
use that as the startRow attribute for a CFOUTPUT of your created query
object.

Hi,
I know this will be included in CF 5.0 but unfortunately that won't be
around soon enough.
Before I haul off and try to write something to do this, does anybody know
of a custom tag that will query a query?
I've browsed through Allaire's tag gallery and while there are a number of
tags that will manipulate queries there's nothing that gets a subset of data
from an existing query.
I'd written a lot code that performed lots of small single queries which
made the data more accessible to me in terms of variable granularity, i.e.
one query name per small query but due to bad performance our DBA
recommended that I reduce the number of queries by being less specific and
parse the data on the CF side.

Re:OT: Dreamweaver UltraDev 4
Just saw a demo at the ANYCFUG meeting last night. It looks like UltraDev is CF's answer to MS Visual Interdev. It sets up simple database functions (insert, delete, edit, move to first, last, next, prev). Does not, on its own, handle relationships between tables(like the query window in CF) fields. You must do it either in CF or in UD interface window. All background code is visible, simple to follow and annotated. When possible, it uses CFSCRIPT. Has the same type interface as DreamWeaver. Would have to get used to the language and easily relate to the "user friendly" window interface screens (how come I know in my head and hands what to do but can not understand what information these interfaces want for their text fields???) Supposedly UD will import CF apps easily as well as custom tags, etc. Macromedia exhange has extensions - basically code contributed by programmers - to expand UD's versatility. It is not the answer to robust development,but it looks like it can help minimize building simple administrative screens. That's all I know for now.

TwoSelectsRelated may get you started, but it is JavaScript - with 21k items, you're going to run into a lot of issues; your HTML file will be huge and the JS is going to pinch a lot of memory and rendering processes for the browser... not going to be a fun UI no matter how you slice it on the client side.

One thing to try if it's feasible is group the 21k items to another group of items, sort of like: Project Module Module Module Module Module Project Module Module etc...

Re: Dreamweaver UltraDev 4
James, I think most people who use UD also rely on CF Studio to hand code. The two go well together but you wouldn't want to rely on UD exclusively. I really like UD, but there are a few issues: 1) It's a script based tool. That means that unless you know cfscript it can be very hard to debug the code it generates. 2) In some instances UD can rewrite your CF. For example, UD will move a CFOUTPUT tag out of the Head. 3) UD doesn't always parse CF correctly. For instance, there's an extension at macromedia that lets UD understand CFINCLUDE and show the content on the page while you're working. But if you build a simple CFELSE statement to include a file if it exists, otherwise include a default file, UD won't understand it and will show both files included in design mode. For visually designing relatively simple CF pages though, UD is great. The live data mode lets you see the results of a query on your page while you design it -- I think that makes it worth the price of purchase alone. Post your question to the macromedia.ultradev group and you'll get some responses from people who have spent a bit more time with the issues than I have.

Useful tool for looking at code
Web Monkey has reported a very interesting tool called "Code Lifter" that allows you to grab hidden JS, PL and CSS files from a web page. Very useful for bug fixing. http://www.codelifter.com/index.html Dave Adams CFUG Ottawa ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: CFCOOKIE
Can you EXPIRE a cookie and SET it again from the same page? Remember that CF doesn't send cookie requests to the browser until it's finished (or in CF5, Flushed), so it effectively takes the last setting on the page as the one you want...

yep... CFCOOKIE NAME="id" VALUE="" EXPIRES="NOW" CFCOOKIE NAME="id" VALUE="xxx" or this should work too...

RE: stored procedure and resultset
David: Did you use that in Oracle before? The reason I asked is that in ColdFusion knowledge base, for article # 8353, it said that --- Oracle stored procedures do not return result sets in the traditional sense. Consequently, it is not possible to generate a query in ColdFusion using an Oracle stored procedure. --- I should do some test, however, I am busying with design spec, just check with you. Thanks. Mei -Original Message- From: Hayes, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2001 5:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: stored procedure and resultset Yes. Look at CFSTOREDPROC and CFPROCRESULT; basically, you include one CFPROCRESULT tag for each result set in the stored procedure. Then you've got named CFQUERY objects you can work with. -Original Message- From: Zhou, Mei Y (Mei) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2001 3:43 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: stored procedure and resultset Can we loop all the recordsets in the stored procedures with CF 4.5 and Oracle 8.1? I have done this with ASP and SQL Server 7.0: E.g. create procedure sp_Money select * from tbl1 where fname = "mei"; select * from tbl2 where targetSalary = "1,000,000"; then, after execute the stored procedure, we can loop it as: objRec = NextRecordset; ( not exactly syntax, but the idea is there...) do while not objRec.eof --- objRec will be all the records return from the first select...; objRec = NextRecordset; --- this time, objRec will be all the records from the second select... CAN we do that? Any information is greatly appreciated. Mei ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
