VTML edit tag dialogs: attributes with no value?
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. __ Kay Smoljak - ColdFusion Developer - PerthWeb Pty Ltd Internet Solutions for your business!

Re: the big export...ColdFusion.NET?
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. jon - Original Message - From: John McKown [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2001 8:12 PM Subject: RE: the big export...ColdFusion.NET?

Thanks all, here is what I found on the subject: html2jpg sounded great, but it's not automatic - i need to load each page myself and click capture image if there was a command line syntax or some other batch mode way to do it - it would be nicer. html2ps doesn't help much and it's too complex, I don't want to maintain links and tables, I just need a low-medium quality snapshot (capture) of the website page. as for one of the suggestions, to minimize table heights and font sizes into mini version of the sites - it's not doable and looks TOO complex. Imagefolio promises loads of features but I can seem to find out an evaluation version to check it out. I'm not willing to pay 189$ for a program that creates thumbnails from everything - what, where, which, how? god knows!! so, if anyone had ANY experince with imagefolio or other automated program that captures webpages AUTOMATICLLY, I'm hearing. thanks alot for your participation in this.

Haven't really been following this thread, but at it's highest level your problem seems to break down into these three steps. (If you want quick fixes skip to the bottom.) 1. Render the HTML 2. Convert rendered screen to image 3. Resize image RENDER THE HTML --- You might check out http://www.mozilla.org/ for mozilla's HTML rendering engine if you want something you can bring into your own code. There are some other engines that are open as well, I'll leave them to you to find. Alternately there's closed source such as the popular IE. Which you decide to use counts heavily on the next step. CONVERTING TO AN IMAGE -- The whole purpose of the exercise is to get the render (R) to output to a bitmapped image (I). Theoretically the easiest way would be get R I; somehow I doubt it's going to be as easy as a 'mozilla --url=www.foo.com bar.jpg' though. Given the mozilla source you may be able find where you could redirect the screen display though. I'm not overlly familiar w/ IE but it might have some COM objects accessable to pull the information from. RESIZE IMAGE So many programs and algorithms to accomplish this, choose whichever suites you (http://www.imagemagick.org/ is one of my favourite utils for this). CONCLUSSION --- I realise this isn't exactly detail specific, but if you were floating around wondering how to even begin tackling the problem this might provide some grounding. QUICK FIXES --- http://www.html2jpg.com has a win9x/IE5 specific program to accomplish step 1 and 2 if you're on that platform. http://www.tdb.uu.se/~jan/html2ps.html converts to PS, w/ http://www.imagemagick.org/ it's only a step away from a properly sized jpeg and it's not platform specific.

pearls of wisdom??
We use simple http requests to transfer data from the server to our special client (built with visual c++) for example: http://www.imvamp.com/action/register.cfm?username=davidpassword=123456 that will return this: OK or NO as a web page (html) the visual c++ client knows what to do on his side with every answer parsed. where this has served us very well in the past year, our information that is sent BACK to the client has turned very complexed and caused problems with special signs and characters. I'm searching for a diffrent way to pass information in and from the visual c++ client to the server. I've taught about WDDX has being the best option with CF but I was worrying to relay on that technology (lack of support, sdk from 98', etc.) - is it possible and advicable to useother XML generator/parser to help me in my client/server tasks? which are best from CF gallery? any help would be great!

RE: IE5.5 Client Variable Problem
I have the same problem with IE5.5. I understand that this version of the browser re-introduced an old bug that they had fixed in earleier versions of the browser. -Original Message- From: Malcolm Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2001 04:56 To: CF-Talk Subject: IE5.5 Client Variable Problem 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 ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Querying by a date field.
Hi Folks, Got a problem with the online support knowledge bas on our intranet. Basically the date search for KB items does not seem to be getting the correct values. I noticed that the Access DB datasource has the date in a couple of formats, either dd/mm/yy or dd/mm/yy hh/mm/ss. The search form lets users enter values in dd/mm/ or with a 2 date year but, nothing seems to be happening. Heres the code: cfset today = #dateformat(now(),dd/mm/)# cfquery name=getdate datasource=suppkb dbtype=ODBC SELECT * FROM Main_Table WHERE Date_Entered BETWEEN #dateformat(date,dd/mm/)# and #today# /cfquery cfoutput query=getdate#date_entered#, #Record_id#br/cfoutput cfabort Can any eagle eyed code spot my flaw ?

Checkboxes define tables...

RE: Checkboxes define tables...
If each form field is named services then the value of Form.Services will be a list of all the checkboxes selected. So, if you had this: INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=Services VALUE=11 INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=Services VALUE=22 INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=Services VALUE=33 and the user selected 1 and 3, the value of Form.Services would be 1,3. Now, you ask, how can I tell it to write something like 'on' in each services field that's check. Are you asking about how to make them preselected when the form redisplays? Or how to save them to a DB? If you want to know how to make them preselected, simply... CFPARAM NAME=Form.Selected DEFAULT= INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=Services VALUE=1 CFIF ListFind(Form.Selected,1)CHECKED/CFIF1 INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=Services VALUE=2 CFIF ListFind(Form.Selected,2)CHECKED/CFIF2 INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=Services VALUE=3 CFIF ListFind(Form.Selected,3)CHECKED/CFIF3 and so on.

RE: VTML edit tag dialogs: attributes with no value?
You can do a conditional output by using WIZIF So, your VTML portion of the TAGLAYOUT portion can do this: mytag WIZIF fieldname EQ 'true'TEXT_BOLD = 1/WIZIF This way it would only show up if true, not false or not selected at all. === Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ UIN : 3679482 My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: Kay Smoljak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 21, 2001 2:25 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: VTML edit tag dialogs: attributes with no value? 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. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

In separate directories, use the application.cfm to check whether or not the user is in a group that has access to this directory. You can even take this a step further and create one discussion group code-base, and turn on and off all of the messages based on the user's groups. Take this scenario: I log in to your application. I click the discussion room link. I'm presented with a list of sections that I have access to (I.E. section 1, section 2, section 3, through section 11) Clicking the section will give me a list of all discussions in that topic. It should be easy enough to intersect a group table with a section table, and intersect the section table with discussion messages. Would that work? From a functional standpoint, it's a solution. However, politics may trash it. I can imagine people being offended that their discussion group is listed on the same page as another section's discussion group. (Corporate America--or wherever--gotta love it) It sounds like a flawed reason to allow anonymous posting, kind of like a solution to avoid the problem, not solve it. Can 'you' dymanically' name an application using the CFAPPLICATION tag? I've never even thought to try it before. Maybe you could use the same discussion group code, but automatically log people in by passing the application name as a variable into the template. (I.E. you'll have access to all the previous session / application / client variables) At 12:00 AM 05/21/2001 -0400, you wrote: 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!

Re: Setting Dynamic Variables
I'm just going by what I've seen posted here. I've never seen any documentation saying dynamic variables should be named this way, and there is a function to do specifically this. A little deduction leads me to believe that this is an unintended way to go about it.

Adobe Acrobat - Batch HTML Thumbnails
Michael Lugassy was looking for a solution to batch processing thumbnails of web pages. Adobe Acrobat Version 5.0 appears to have many ways of doing this. It has automatic batch process run command, lots of file export options including JPG, HTML page conversion to PDF using URL or other methods, the ability to run Acrobat right inside a browser, ability to print to an Adobe printer driver, etc. I bought it for other reasons, but I think it will do what you want. -- Eric Root Environmental Management Systems Inc.

RE: Stripping wrapper quotes from all fields
I would probably consider changing the database first. Outside of that, you can use regex: CFSET STR = Ray's world has quotes in it. CFSET STR = REReplace(STR,^,) CFSET STR = REReplace(STR,$,) This uses ^ to find a quote at the beginning, and $ to match at the end. This will keep the quotes in the middle of the string safe. If you are _sure_ that every string has .., you could also do: CFSET NewStr = Mid(STR,2,Len(STR)-2) Oh, you also may be able to use SQL to strip out the first and last character. Not 100% sure though. === Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ UIN : 3679482 My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: Marc Garrett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 21, 2001 11:55 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Stripping wrapper quotes from all fields I have a database in which all fields are wrapped by double quotes.

RE: Database Design Question
If you want to store all of the answers (not just the correct one) for each question, I think you're actually looking at 3 tables: tblExam - ExamId(PK), ExamName, ExamDate, etc. tblQuestion - QuestionID(PK), ExamId(FK), QuestionText, etc. tblAnswer - AnswerId(PK), QuestionID(FK), AnswerText, IsCorrectFlag, etc. This will also allow you to support questions that have multiple answers. I don't think you'll run into performance issues with the setup that you described (at least not with this database - other things on the machine might affect it).

RE: Database Design Question
Your DB can probably handle that many rows as long as its properly indexed, but you should look at some database normalization techniques. A fully normalized design might have a table for... exams questions choices the correct answer should be a foreign key in questions table to the choices table. A good way to approach database design is to extract all nouns and make them entities. Then determine the relationships between the entities (one to many, many to many, or one to one).

Bizarre Error: Server/Studio Duplicating Carriage Returns
I'm running the eval of Cold Fusion Server 4.5 Enterprise on Redhat 7.1. When I save a template through RDS, for every carriage return I enter as I code, I get two carriage returns on the saved document. Example: I write: html head titleHello/title /head When I re-open the file it looks like this: html head titleHello/title /head What's worse, If I make a little change, like, change the Hello to Hello, World and re-save the template, the next time I open it, it looks like this: html head titlehello, world/title /head Big problem. I've got a template with only about 20 lines of actual code on it, but it's up to about 14000 lines, due to this problem. I have studio on two different machines, and it doesn't seem to matter which I use. Also, this is not happening from the same two workstations if I write to an NT machine through RDS, or through windows networking. Any ideas? Willy ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: the big export...ColdFusion.NET?
Yuck. I would certianly hope that Macromedia doesn't consider using C# over Java. One of the most exciting prospects of CF6 is it's ability to run on any platform. I am willing to bet that the Common Language Runtime will _not_ run on any platform. It seems that Microsoft is taking another stab at killing Java, except this time on the server side. They released JDirect a few years ago, which was basically MFC for Java. What a mess. The company I was working for at the time wanted to look into JDirect and see if it was a worthwhile platform. IMO, it was completely worthless...An application written in JDirect wasn't any more portable than one written using MFC! I do love Microsoft products (I also have very little sympathy for Netscape), but I would hate to see Macromedia handcuff themselves. -Original Message- From: Jon Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2001 11:58 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: the big export...ColdFusion.NET? 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. jon - Original Message - From: John McKown [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 20, 2001 8:12 PM Subject: RE: the big export...ColdFusion.NET?

What is C#? -Original Message- From: Jon Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 18, 2001 7:36 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: the big export...ColdFusion.NET? 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. bigfatsegue 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? /bigfatsegue jon - Original Message - From: Michael Lugassy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 18, 2001 10:57 AM Subject: Re: the big export thanks for the tip, paul!

In most cases, CF is not suitable for these types of tasks, espcially if it's a task that you'll have to repeat on scheduled basis. If this is a one-time event (are you sure? :) ) then you can way the time for development vs. time of processing. one time operation? Developing it in CF is probably
