Re: the big export...ColdFusion.NET?

[Jon Hall]

C# is really more along the lines of Java than C, actually a lot closer. If
you look at the syntax, it's almost exactly java with a few MS specific
things thrown in,  that look to make the language a little more
approachable.
Not to mention it runs on what Microsoft calls a "Common Language Runtime".
Which is basically just like java's JRE. This is the essence of dotNet. All
five of Microsofts major languages( C#, C++, JScript, VB, ASP) will be able
to take advantage of it. All of them have seperate compilers except asp of
course, but still run on top of the runtime.

There are already existing programs that convert C# programs into Java and
back again...What makes this really interesting to me is that if Macromedia
extends CF to C#, the possibilities for easy access to the dotNet runtime
with CF would be very powerful. Actually now that I think about it, as the
MS world migrate to XP, dotNet and beyond, it almost seems to be a
necessity...

MS seems to be trying the same strategy against Sun, that they so
successfully used against Netscape. I dont know where I stand, but I'll
develop in Java for now. I do know one thing though. Microsoft knows how to
write documentation better than anyone around. Their sdk docs blow away the
ancient looking docs that come with Sun's JDK.

VTML "edit tag" dialogs: attributes with no value?

[Kay Smoljak]

Hi all,

I hope I can explain this well enough...

I am playing with editing VTML files, and I have a perplexing problem. I am
trying to create one for our CFX_PWIMAGEPROC. This tag has true/false
attributes that do not require values, ie if TEXT_BOLD is present, any text
the tag draws is bold. If it's not there, the text drawn is not bold.

It's ok in the drop downs within Studio, but I'm trying to make an "edit
tag" dialog. If I use a checkbox and no value is selected, the attribute is
not included. If the checkbox is checked, TEXT_BOLD="true" is included in
the output. That's OK, because the tag will ignore the ="true" part and make
any text bold. If the checkbox is set to true and then changed to be false,
rather than removing the attribute completely, it sets it to
TEXT_BOLD="false". This won't work because the tag is ignoring the value of
the attribute and applying the effect if the attribute is present, which is
obviously not going to give the correct results.

Radio buttons are no good because you can't deslect the value once it is
selected. Multi-select listboxes won't work. I'm tearing my hair out!

I guess someone is going to say "don't write tags like that", hey.

K.

QOT: Message Board Questions

[C. Hatton Humphrey]

Sorta quasi off-topic here...

I've got an interesting situation.  I'm working on a site that has a lot of
politics involved.  They want a message board for each of 11 different
sections that is totally separated but they all use the same header and
footer file combination.  They also want something that looks like CF Forum
2000 or SMB, with the twist that they want "anonymous posting" capabilities
added in (where they do not have to log in to post).  The reason for the
twist is the fact that there are going to be 11 different applications
running and they do not share username and passwords... if each message
board requires a log-in and a visitor has access to 5 boards and wants to
post on all 5, then they would have to log in 11 times (one for the main
site, then once again to gain access to the board to read message threads
and one more time to post a thread).  This is way too cumbersome.

Does anyone know of a better concept of doing this.  Right now what I'm
pondering is 11 installations of the same message board and going through
changing the application name to prevent session variable conflicts.  It is
absolutely vital that all 11 areas have their own message boards.  They do
not want any sharing of message topics/threads/posts across boards.

TIA!
Hatton Humphrey

RE: What a task!

[Ryan Sabir]

One way to do it would be to get some multimedia software such as Macromedia
Director to open up the pages of your site using an embeded HTML browser and
then use a screen capturing plugin to script capturing the pages as they get
called up...

I do a lot of work in Director so I know its possible, so drop me an email
off list if you want more info on this technique before the thread drifts
too far off topic.

To keep it on topic should I mention the fantastic multimedia content
management system I wrote in CF that manages interactive media between
multiple developers working in MM Director? I thought not.

seeya!

RE: IE5.5 Client Variable Problem

[Malcolm Taylor]

Thanks Brook.

Yes - everything shares the same application.cfm and it works great
under all other browsers -the only problem is with IE5.5 and above where
I get blown out of the water by error messages that client variables
don't exist, though strangely this doesn't happen when I run IE5.5 on
the server itself.

I'm thinking that perhaps the only reliable way of getting it to work is
to change all my client variables into cookie variables which should be
available to all frames from the same site

Malcom,

Make sure that the frame set pages all share the sam application.cfm
template or root template where you specify the application name and
state
management. I have also heard that using a cflocation after setting a
client var can cause loss of data aswell, although I have never seen
this
for myself.

But you didn't post those questions did you?

You posted a question that is not related to CF...not unless you create some
artificial context.

So is it then okay to talk about government loan programs since you could
use one to buy a copy of Cold Fusion? Or perhaps we can talk about the
political situation in Greece since that would influence the ability of
Greek programmers to code in CF?

This is hardly a complex issue. If you want to just shoot the sh*t or get
general comments about unrelated matters then perhaps you should seek out
another list or subscribe to CF-Community instead.

Well I don't just belong to one list and I fail to see why the other members
of this list should have to deal with questions that can, as I pointed out,
be answered by simply opening a browser window and doing a web search.

Or do you want some peer input to determine how to do a search?

Michael, before you go and learn VB, realize that vb is morphing into
vb.net. Although the syntax is similar, the changes/improvements are quite
drastic. You may want to skip picking up a book on the old VB and
concentrate on learning the new stuff. Microsofts site is a great place to
start though.


The whole dotNet thing is very interesting... Microsofts try at interpreted
code, like java.
Which leads me to think back to Macromedia's repeatedly saying dotNet in the
press release that they were commited to dotNet.
It isn't too far of a stretch to say that Neo may be ported to dotNet, and
specifically C#, which is basically java anyway. The more I think about it,
the more I think it's a no brainer for Macromedia to do a C# port. It will
probably run much faster on Windows. The only risk would be confusing the
users as to which is better.

That's my random Friday thought. Anyone have any comments?

Yeah. But. . . . . .
If its a page with a bunch of tables then could you replace all height and 
width attributes with 1/10 of the value?

I think you can thumnail the images (but ask someone that has actually done it)
and you could replace all text with something thats too small to read. . . .

I guess you would have to strip breaks and paragraphs since they cant be 
shrunk. . .m. . .

and of course if the page isnt static then these ideas are not very clever.

If people need icons then I think the best thing to do is do a google search
for weather icon instead of posting a message to the list.

Especially since the question has nothing whatsoever to do with CF or CF
development.

There is already enough traffic on the list that I think its better to
occasionally make comments like this to ensure that the static stays off
list instead of clogging the it with queries that could be answered in about
a 10 seconds with, as I mentioned, a google search.

really. the posting police are out ...

Even if I am going to use Cold Fusion to dynamically generate a branded 
image with updated weather information?

Or I am using cfhttp to grab the weather info and create a wddx stru for 
redistribution? I am interested in creating several weather icon sets for 
different sites to use. ie a weather icon set, based on a Softball theme... 
etc.

I'll give you the OT, but I only use Cold Fusion, and this is the only list 
I belong to (lie - but only developer list related to this question), and 
this is the peer group I want to ask the question to...

Re: IE5.5 Client Variable Problem

[Brook Davies]

Malcom,

Make sure that the frame set pages all share the sam application.cfm 
template or root template where you specify the application name and state 
management. I have also heard that using a cflocation after setting a 
client var can cause loss of data aswell, although I have never seen this 
for myself.

Anyway, do you need 'icons', or bmp's or ...?
There are plenty of places to find them. (Got to get out an look for them)
If you need  *.ico files, I have some (sun.ico, cloud.ico, ..[did you do a search on 
your hard drives?]) drop me a
private e-mail and I'll send them to you.

IE5.5 Client Variable Problem

[Malcolm Taylor]

I have a problem with a fairly significant CF application used by a
number of our clients which runs under CF 4.51 and IIS4.0 on NT4.0
Server.  Client variables are stored in an Access database file and all
works well except when the application is accessed by IE5.5 from a
machine other than the server.

Normal behaviour is for authentication and the setting of miscellaneous
client variables to occur in a single-frame window before moving to a
multi-frame frameset.  By looking at the CDATA table in my Access file,
I can see that under normal circumstances, this writes a single record
which stores client data to be accessed throughout the application,
before or after the move to a frameset.

Under IE5.5 running on a machine other than the server, I can see that
creating the frameset generates new records within CDATA (one for each
frame) and once I move to the frameset, client variables which were set
prior to the move are no longer available to templates running within
the frames and variables set within one frame are unavailable to
templates running in the others.

Can anyone please offer me any enlightenment, or at least point me in
the right direction?  Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Malcolm

Re: Concatenating strings.

[Michael Lugassy]

what about losing the evaluate()? and just specifying
evaluate = evaluate &

RE: Concatenating strings.

[Bob Silverberg]

You need to use the "&" to concatenate strings.  Change your code to:

">

Note that you don't need the Evaluate in there either.

Whats wrong with this code? It seems to be following the examples I"ve
seen before .. I want to add an error message to an existing error

one error, fix that, submit the form, find another error kind of routine.

But when I execute this code, I get the error that the CF Server cannot

RE: CFHTTP - loop problem

[Eron Cohen]

Joseph,

This might not help solve your problem, but I would
use CFLocks around your CFHTTP tag.

Subject: CFHTTP - loop problem


Hi folks,

I tried to make a loop of cfhttp requests to a url and
save every CFHTTP.FileContent in a separated text
file.

The problem that I failed to run my code through a
loop while it is running good when make one cfhttp
request.

the code that caused the problem:
= index.cfm =
01  
02  SELECT CatID FROM Cats
03  
04
05  
06
07  
08  http://www.xyz.com/Cat.cfm?id=#IDs.CatID#";
resolveurl="Yes">
09  
10  
11   I am Finished!
12  
=

Lines 01-03: Reading from a database to get all IDs.
Line 07: Starting a loop on IDs collected from the
query.
Line 08: CFHTTP request to a website with id of loop.
Line 09: CFFILE save the cfhttp.FileContent into cfm
file inside ARCHIVES directory.

if you deleted the loop in the previous code, it will
work successfully.

I need it with a loop!!!

any suggestion will be appreciated.

RE: CFFTP Trouble

[Garza, Jeff]

Perhaps you could post the code so we can see what you are doing/not doing
wrong...  I've never seen an error 3.  Have you tried wrapping the CFFTP
call in a try/catch block to see if you can grab any additional error info?
Are you behind a firewall?  Does it allow outbound connections on port 21?
Does the FTP server sit behind a firewall or Proxy server?  Any number of
things could cause problems.  

Cheers,

Re: [RE: [Object Oriented CFML]]

[Joseph J. Sanger, M.D.]

I am having trouble merely opening a connection to an FTP server with 
CFFTP.  I believe I know I am using the correct USERNAME, PASSWORD 
and SERVER.  I am getting an error message no. "3", with no 
corresponding ErrorText.  Can anybody decode this error message for 
me?  Any tips regarding pitfalls, anomalies in use of CFFTP to 
transfer a file from to the FTP server would be appreciated.
