RE: CF Studio and UltraDev Merging!
Yes it is only a bundling of CF Studio and Ultradev together.But unless we all speak up loud, this will be the trend .. Macromedia's view of the world is the Dreamweaver/Ultradev vision. Where is you want to do what the evangelist does in the demos, you're in clover. But since in 30 years in IT I've never once had to produce what they do in the demos I'm not overly impressed by the demos in the launch. I find myself sitting there watching the evangelist guy zipping round the software saying how easy it is to do this or that, thinking, yes . but since he's picked the examples to suit himself, what *ISN'T* he showing us? Anyway, unless we have some input to Macromedia, we'll end up with a Studio that looks like Ultradev. And Ive never been able to make that work satisfactorily for CF coding - only for making html pages.

RE: quick question
Chris, I imagine you would have to specify the full filename - including the extension. Be wary of using CFFILE, particularly if people can upload non image files like documents or executables. Test your code to ensure that you are not opening up a major vulnerability to your server. I have noticed with CF Enterprise 4.5.1 an uncanny behaviour of making CFSTRUCTURE and CFFILE variables UPPERCASE.

RE: Ultradev Studio
Mark, I'm inclined to agree with you. Dreamweaver for all intent and purposes is a fine product for the visual web designer. As far as code development goes it just doesn't cut it - which is why I imagine they ship HomeSite with Dreamweaver for code cutting purposes. ColdFusion Studio - at least version 4.5.2 SP2 - is a fine product, finally. Admittedly I am still running 4.0 until I get the time to install the latest release. 4.0 does not save files as zero bytes which later version did regularly. Rather than merge a product like Studio/HomeSite into UltraDev (expensive product is UltraDev for what it claims to do) update CF Studio 4.5.1 to include new CF5.0 support. After all these years the 4.5 product is now totally indespensible.

RE: mailto: in alertbox?
I don't think so - at least for security reasons. Assuming you mean a JS
generated alertbox. If you can get around using a JS generated alert box and
use a JS generated window which you can load a CFML template into that might
be better. eg:
head
script language=JavaScript
function openWin( windowURL, windowName, windowFeatures )
{return window.open( windowURL, windowName, windowFeatures ) ; }
/script
titleCF-Talk is AOK by me OK?/title
/head
Then use the following code for your URL:
a
href=JavaScript:newWindow=openWin('actiontemplate.cfm?RecordID=ThisWouldBeA
Number','ADescriptionOfTheLink','width=600,height=400,toolbar=0,location=0,d
irectories=0,status=0,menuBar=0,scrollBars=1,resizable=0');
newWindow.focus() onmouseover=self.status='Wrap this text in a
JSStringFormat just to be sure! Ben Forta would be proud!';return true
onmouseout=self.status='';return trueAnd this is the link right here!/a
If using CFQUERY generated text it is not a bad idea to WRAP the output text
in JSStringFormat to make friendly potentially error inducing code.
Otherwise strip out the onmouseover and onmouseout code altogether. You
can still add other target prefs like _new etc).

Re: Credit Card DB Encryption Methodology
Sounds very secure, of course you might add that the database in question should never be on a web server. The database should only be accessible from behind a firewall which permits only the web server's ip to access the database server. jon - Original Message - From: Tony Schreiber [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2001 3:52 PM Subject: Credit Card DB Encryption Methodology Ok, I've been reading the last few threads on this and pondering the best way to approach this scenario (storing CC in DB) and I've come up with the following idea: 1) The User's password is stored as a one-way HASH. 2) The Credit Card info (list of cc number,exp date and verification number) is stored as an ENCRYPTED string with the User's raw password as the key. Interface-wise, this requires that: a) the user type in their password when Adding or Updating a credit card record in the db (so it can be encrypted) b) the user type in their password when finalizing an order (so the cc info can be decrypted to be processed) c) When a user changes their password, all cc records in the database must be updated using the old and new passwords But this way, neither the users password, the encryption key nor the cc info is stored unencrypted anywhere on the server.

RE: verity error
Wow! That is quite big - assuming an MS Access database. Your main problem appears to be generating the index itself. Even once off it is taxing system resources big time. Straightaway you could do one of several things: 1 - purge the collection before updationg it 2 - if on the same box defragment the HDD before re-indexing the collection 3 - if your development box has more grunt than the actual server - consider building the index on you dev box and then transferring it to the server.

RE: [cold_fusion] Unusual Results, help
This has always been the behavior of CF. I can agree that it at first glances appears to be counter intuitive, but at the same time, any reference to queryname.fieldname outside the context of a CFLOOP or CFOUTPUT results in a reference to the value of the field in the first row of the query. The functionality is such that there is no inheritance of references. Well, I think you're at risk of sounding like an apologist for Allaire. There are a couple of things that I feel need fixing in ColdFusion, and this is one of them (the other one that springs to mind is the inability to optionally specify that empty list elements aren't ignored - really useful if you are populating database tables from delimited lists). CFOUTPUT QUERY=GetParents *Crappy CFSET GetParents.ParentID code required here* CFOUTPUT QUERY=GetChildren #GetParents.ParentID# doesn't increment properly with each iteration of the outer loop WHY NOT ALLAIRE?!?! /CFOUTPUT /CFOUTPUT Since CF5 is feature complete and in RC testing, I would seriously doubt that a change in behavior is going to happen in this release, or for that matter even in NEO.

Code Snippet:Random Password Generator(repost)
From: kermit
Subject: Code snippet - random password generator
Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 16:53:21 -0800
This script generates a random word 7 letters long plus 4 digits long.
Example code:
cfset random_word =
cfloop index=ii from=1 to=7
cfset random_number = #RandRange(1,26)#
cfset alphabet = ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
cfset random_letter = #Mid(alphabet,random_number,1)#
cfset random_word = #ListAppend(random_word,random_letter)#
/cfloop
cfset random_word = #Replace(random_word, ,, , ALL)#
cfset random_number = #RandRange(1000,)#
cfset password = #random_word##random_number#
cfoutputPASSWORD: b#password#/b/cfoutput
From: Raymond B.
Subject: RE: Code snippet - random password generator

Why define the alphabet? Just use decimal values for the asci char set.
pass = ;
for (c=1; c le 7; c=c+1) {
pass = pass chr(randRange(65,90)) ;
}
pass = pass randRange(1000,) ;
That will do the exact same thing as below much more efficiently, if you
want case sensitive or nums mixed w/ chars it's just a couple extra
rangRanges()s (you can get creative and generate one of each class then
randRange(1,3) to choose which per digit).

Why define the alphabet? Just use decimal values for the asci char set.
So, just because I'm bored, in the unrolled loop I created I change the
alphabet to Raymond's chr:
cfset random_word = random_word chr(randRange(65,90))
The speed increase was fairly slight:
Original code (executed 1000 times): 9994 ms (average)
Unrolled code (executed 1000 times): 1993 ms (average)
Unrolled w/chr (executed 1000 times): 1932 ms (average)
But it looks much nicer than repeating the alphabet in each line.
I was going to mention that when I generate passwords I tend to NOT use the
letters O, I and L and the numbers 1 and 0. Those create too many my
password doesn't work! tech support calls.

RE: databases for CF on Solaris?
The best database to use on Solaris (after Oracle) is Sybase, but failing that there are several different databases that work on **nix systems that are worth a look. Probably the best two to evaluate are Postgres and MySQL (both sort of free without support). However, this is more a question for a Solaris list (where you'll find infinite amounts of geeks and techie's willing to tell you what you need!!!). Make sure you know exactly what you want it for before you ask though. This is a situation where overkill is very easy, and so if you just need a simple web DB, probably best to use something like MySQL although it doesn't necessarily do everything you want! Anything more, and be careful that you are going to have enough memory/processors etc. Solaris boxes are a lot more stable and robust, but they don't come from the Teletubby land of computing like some OS's and boxes do.

Re: CF5 DSN-less connection syntax?
A typical Access DSNLess connection would be:
Driver={Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb)};Dbq=c:\somepath\dbname.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=pass;
or an OLE DB connection would be:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\somepath\dbname.mdb;User
Id=admin;Password=pass;
I have an article at http://www.basic-ultradev.com/articles/ADOConnections/
that has some other connection strings, including Oracle. They apply to
UltraDev, but the connection string is generic and would apply to CF 5 as
well.

I installed the RC last night at home and was poking around, and saw this:
ColdFusion Server 5 extends its database connection attributes to include
specifying a connection string for ODBC data sources. This allows you to
specify connection attributes that cannot be defined in the odbc.ini
settings and also allows you to override odbc.ini settings. The ability to
make ODBC connections dynamically when there is no data source defined in
the odbc.ini settings is another important improvement.

RE: [cold_fusion] Unusual Results, help
I'm jumping into this mid-stream w/o reading through the entire history so
bear w/ me if I'm way out there.
It's a bit of a kludge but I'll often just use a for(init_expr; expr;
post_expr) {} style loop for queries if I need good control of the cursor
over multiple loops. For simplicities sake I'll use CFSCRIPT syntax to
illustrate.
for (i=1; i le outer_query.recordcount; i=i+1) {
for(j=1; j le inner_query.recordcount; j=j+1) {
outer_query.field1[i]; // on way of accesing the element
inner_query[var][j]; // another way
}
}
I'm not fond of how the cursors function (or fails to) w/ anything complex
either. And yes, I too despise silent discarding of empty elements.
As long as we're going for gripes here, valueList() and similar functions
ONLY work w/ queryname.field notation and won't accept any work arounds
inside them. Instead of being able to use queryname[var] when needing
dynamic assignment, you have to use a named var _outside_ the statement and
evaluate the string [evaluate(queryname. var)] then have that variable
interpolated. It's an evil evil slowdown if you're doing lots of things
dynamically. With the new functions of CF5 this will become an even bigger
issue and I really hope it's better in that ver. (Haven't had much time to
check out the rc)

I am not apologizing for Allaire, I am stating the facts about the way the
program works. I also feel that a bug is in the eye of the beholder. Just
because it doesn't work the way you a) expect it to or b)like you want it to
doesn't mean it is a bug. This issue has been around since the first time
you could have looping constructs (cfloop, cfoutput) nested within each
other. I agree on the empty list elements issue, however.

This has always been the behavior of CF. I can agree that it at first
glances appears to be counter intuitive, but at the same
time, any reference
to queryname.fieldname outside the context of a CFLOOP or CFOUTPUT
results in a reference to the value of the field in the first
row of the
query. The functionality is such that there is no inheritance of
references.
Well, I think you're at risk of sounding like an apologist for Allaire.
There are a couple of things that I feel need fixing in ColdFusion, and
this is one of them (the other one that springs to mind is the inability
to
optionally specify that empty list elements aren't ignored - really useful
if you are populating database tables from delimited lists).
CFOUTPUT QUERY=GetParents
*Crappy CFSET GetParents.ParentID code required here*
CFOUTPUT QUERY=GetChildren
#GetParents.ParentID# doesn't increment properly with each
iteration of the outer loop WHY NOT ALLAIRE?!?!
/CFOUTPUT
/CFOUTPUT
Since CF5 is feature complete and in RC testing, I would
seriously doubt
that a change in behavior is going to happen in this release,
or for that
matter even in NEO.
Unfortunately, I think you might be right.
Hey, we've fixed a load of old bugs! doesn't sound as good to new
customers as Hey, there's a load of new features!.

Oracle stored procedure question.
Hi All, I need another set of eyes on a problem. I have a piece of code that calls an Oracle stored procedure that just refuses to work with either the Oracle or Microsoft ODBC drivers on my personal development Win2K box (CF Pro 4.5.1 SP2). However, it does work with the Oracle native drivers though on our Solaris production machine. The code in question is: cfstoredproc procedure=redsiren_api.create_node datasource=ROC debug=Yes CFPROCPARAM type=In cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR value=#form.Node# CFPROCPARAM type=In cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR value=#form.System_Type# cfprocparam type=In cfsqltype=CF_SQL_INTEGER value=#form.Agent_port# null=No CFPROCPARAM type=In cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR value=#form.IP_Address# CFPROCPARAM type=In cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR value=Y CFPROCPARAM type=In cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR value=S cfprocparam type=In cfsqltype=CF_SQL_INTEGER value=#session.site_id# null=No CFPROCPARAM type=Out cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR variable=return /CFSTOREDPROC The MS driver throws back an error message about there being a bad parameter datatype, while the Oracle driver just says that there's a syntax violation. I've double-checked the data-types and I'm pretty sure that they're right and that all the variable values are OK as it works with the native driver. I shouldn't have to wrap anything is single quotes right because CFSTOREDPROC will do this as appropriate, right? If I do a desc of the SP in SQL PLus, I get: PROCEDURE CREATE_NODE Argument Name TypeIn/Out Default? -- --- -- NODE VARCHAR2IN SYSTEM_TYPEVARCHAR2IN AGENT_PORT NUMBER IN IP_ADDRESS VARCHAR2IN MONITORED VARCHAR2IN REF_CODE VARCHAR2IN REF_ID NUMBER IN RETURN_STATUS VARCHAR2OUT Any ideas as to how I can get the code above to work with CF Pro? I've upgraded both sets of ODBC drivers on my Win2K box to the latest and greatest etc. We're eventually going to get another CF Enterprise license for a Solaris test box although that doesn't help me right now. I hate testing on a production box (although the app I'm writing is only in the dev stage so it's not as if I'm messing with a live app) Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

RE: Access ldb files w/a twist
The cfusion_disable_dbconnections() works fine, however, just call your host, and tell them to uncheck the box that says 'Maintain database connections'. Then curse at them because they are not following SOP for Access databases ;-) ldb's will not be a problem if this box is unchecked. Not to be ignorant, but... Isn't that a performance hit?

CF Server Locking?
I have a client who has problems with sessions getting corrupt. I've determined that their site does not utilize locking in the code throughout the application. During my research I noticed that they didn't set up the ColdFusion Administrator Variable Locking. Now, can I just configure the settings in the ColdFusion Administrator for variable locking and not have to go back and code locks.

RE: Spell Checking??
1. How do you know if a cfx tag is thread safe? More like how do you know when it's not? When it starts crashing your sever. :) Seriously though, some are more thread-safe than others, but there's no way of knowing that unless the author of the tag tells you, or you may or may not see memory issues with ColdFusion. You'd need to look at the logs to determine what code was causing the problems and see if there were any CFX tags there. But you should lock them anyway. 2. Do you need to lock cfx tags? It's good practice to lock CFX tags in general. -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 May 2001 14:06 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Spell Checking??

Re: Credit Card DB Encryption Methodology
Yes, but that's a physical architecture issue. I'm just trying to address the software side. I'm surprised there haven't been more comments on this, seems to have been a pretty hot topic. Also, I've realized no site I've been to seems to store cc info this way (because I'm not prompted for my password) so I wonder what other schemes they are using Sounds very secure, of course you might add that the database in question should never be on a web server. The database should only be accessible from behind a firewall which permits only the web server's ip to access the database server. jon - Original Message - From: Tony Schreiber [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2001 3:52 PM Subject: Credit Card DB Encryption Methodology Ok, I've been reading the last few threads on this and pondering the best way to approach this scenario (storing CC in DB) and I've come up with the following idea: 1) The User's password is stored as a one-way HASH. 2) The Credit Card info (list of cc number,exp date and verification number) is stored as an ENCRYPTED string with the User's raw password as the key. Interface-wise, this requires that: a) the user type in their password when Adding or Updating a credit card record in the db (so it can be encrypted) b) the user type in their password when finalizing an order (so the cc info can be decrypted to be processed) c) When a user changes their password, all cc records in the database must be updated using the old and new passwords But this way, neither the users password, the encryption key nor the cc info is stored unencrypted anywhere on the server.

Interestingly, I can give a definitive answer on the subject... Adam Berrey, Macromedia VP of Application Server Business (ex-Allaire, and apparently Allaire employee #10 in 1996) has been visiting Australia this week and I took the opportunity to discuss with him a number of issues relating to the future of CF and Spectra (which I can discuss offline if anyone's interested). One announcement he did make was that very soon, UltraDev and CF Studio would be packaged in the one box (NOT the one app) and sold as a bundle at around the price of UD alone (kind of like the UD/Fireworks bundle). This announcement would appear to refer to just such a bundling. The products would remain available standalone for those not interested in the bundle. Adam was VERY vehement about the fact that Macromedia UNDERSTANDS THE SEPARATION between designer (not me, nor most of us on the list I imagine) and coder (me, and you) and would continue to allow that separation to exist, even if UD and Studio eventually became the one product - which has not yet been decided. Rest easy. As for my $0.02, I use UD4 several times a week for layout work, as it quite happily sucks up my CF code and doesn't break it. It's a great tool. That said, Studio remains my tool of choice for cutting CF code. Steve Collins ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Spell Checking??
As a side note here, our company has adopted a policy of locking CFX tags using named locks which are named after the CFX tag itself IE: NAME=CFX_Spell. Assuming everyone using that machine obeys this rule, this ensures that the lock is present across all applications on the machine, and really helps out when you have multiple apps on a server. -Cameron Cameron Childress elliptIQ Inc. p.770.460.7277.232 f.770.460.0963 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 1:09 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Spell Checking?? 1) In our case, we figured out that cfx_spell was not thread safe by deploying it and watching CF crash under load :-(.

Re: Dynamic Variable Names
assuming that once you have retrieved the record the value of qn is no significant, try alias the value in the query: CFQUERY NAME=get_results DATASOURCE=datasource SELECT #qn# as foo FROM database /CFQUERY Jenny Anderson wrote: I want to dynamically create a variable name based upon a url variable.

So I query the database like this: CFQUERY NAME=get_results DATASOURCE=datasource SELECT #qn# FROM database /CFQUERY And it correctly pulls all the results from the 'q7' column. So far so good. But now I want to be able to manipulate the query results and refer to the q7's from the database query. If I refer to #qn# I only get q7 as the result.

client variables
I have a really strange report from a client about some irregularities in an app we built for them. Essentially, there is a long client variable that contains a delimited string of items. This long delimited list is used throughout the app. This string is later stored in the DB. Each record in the DB has its own identifiably string of delimited items. When a user accesses a particular item, the DB record is read and that delimited list is set as the client Var. The previous client vars are all deleted. Now, when my user views the entire string it looks normal. But if she attempts to edit an item in the list, all of its properties change to an item in another list from a separate record in the DB. Its seems as through the previous client Var is still hanging around and sometimes being selected from the clientVar repository instead of what should be the currently active client Var. Has any one seen anything like this happen before? Am I crazy?
