Re: Help with a custom tag

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I am not sure that would work for one big reason:Isolated variable scopes.
Take the following code for example:

/



VARIABLES.Name:#VARIABLES.Name#


/

Clearly, there is no CFOUTPUT and the body will display as
"VARIABLES.Name:#VARIABLES.Name#".  The VARIABLES scope is available to this
page though.  When the tag set is called, it will open a 'new' VARIABLES
scope and will not inherit the variable "VARIABLES.Name" UNLESS I pass it as
a parameter.

So, I wrote a file named FRAME.cfm with the following code:

//





Start:#ThisTag.GeneratedContent#









VARIABLES.First_Pound_Location:#VARIABLES.First_Pound_Location#

VARIABLES.Second_Pound_Location:#VARIABLES.Second_Pound_Location#

VARIABLES.Explression_To_Evaluate:#VARIABLES.Explression_To_Evaluate#


##Evaluate(#VARIABLES.Explression_To_Evaluate#))## Yields:


#Evaluate(VARIABLES.Explression_To_Evaluate)#


Type:#CFCATCH.TYPE#
Message:#CFCATCH.MESSAGE#




End:#ThisTag.GeneratedContent#




//

To see this runnign, goto http://WWW.CFAPOSTLE.COM/TESTS/TAGSETS/PAGE.CFM
.   Not the prettiest or most efficient, but should be easy to understand.

A little known attribute of the tag set is that the FORM scope Does pass
without being turned into an attribute.  Which menas that if I create
FORM.Name and I do not pass it as an attribute on the tag set, you can still
se and use it in the tag though the scopes are 'isolated'.

So, Though it may be possible to use Regular Expressions to isolate the
unparsed sections of the ThisTag.GeneratedContent, the variables that need
to be evaluated are largely unavailable.

SOT Make cybercash interface work with cfobject

[Dick Applebaum]

Why is a long story, but I am trying to get a cybercash interface to 
work with cfobject.

The interface works fine with an ASP program.

When I try to perform the same operations with cfobject it almost works...

One of the two ways of connecting to cybercash fails because the 
SendMessageBlock method of the Socket object is not well-behaved.

The other way involves encrypting the data with the write method of 
the messageBlock object... this works fine.  Then you are supposed to 
http post the encrypted string to the cybercash URL

This also works fine, but I always get the response:

   MErrMsg=No+merchant+ID+present+in+the+request+URL.&MErrLoc=WRAPPER+
   initalization&MStatus=failure-hard

I have scanned all the Cybercash docs I can find and I can't 
determine what I am doing wrong.

Anyone done this before?

TIA

Dick

Yes and no.

Yes, you can index dynamic content. No, if you simply specify .cfm files in
CFINDEX, you'll simply index the file content - your source code.

There are two ways you can index dynamic content. One is to use
TYPE="CUSTOM" in your CFINDEX tags, and feed them queries instead of
directories. This is very easy to do, but you'll typically have to write
some logic in your display code so that when a user selects an item from the
list of matches, the item is displayed appropriately.

The other way you can index dynamic content is to "spider" it. CF 5 provides
the Verity spider for this purpose. You can spider content on your site or
on other sites, with some limitations. Using the Verity spider is explained
within the CF 5 documentation.

Can I use Verity to index the content on dynamic pages?  What I mean is, if I put .cfm

RE: Messy Administrator

[Jay Sudowski - Handy Networks LLC]

Hi Darren,

Sounds like you don't have cookies enabled, or for some reason the Admin
is loosing track of your session, which is why you can see the first
frame, but any subsequent requests are denied, and you get the login
page.

Hey Daryl,

Thanks for the reply.  I didn't explain the problem very well but is
what it does is it will bring up the normal log in screen that asks for
the
password.  The administrator in CF 5 is broken into frames.   So when I
log
in it tries to show the previous log in screen in all those frames.  It
looks funky...   Then after a few seconds it will redirect me to the
original log in.

Any way, thanks again for the reply.  Also, my mother was born in
Belfast, N.Ireland.  She grew up there until she was 18 then came to
America.  Half my family is still in that area also.

I have seen this before and I think if you stop/start the cf service it

RE: Messy Administrator

[Darren Labrum]

They stripped the attachment out...  any way, the cf administrator is messed
up in which the login page shows up in all the frames that are in the
cfadministrator when you log in.  After a few seconds it forwards me back
out to the log in screen.

Has this happened to anyone?

Thanks,

Darren

Hey there,

I am having problems with the ColdFusion administration screen.  When I log
in it looks like the attached file.  What is this all about?  Has anyone had
this happen to them?  I have reinstalled CF server and it still does it?  I
don't know what to do.

If anyone has had this occur or knows what is going on please notify me.

I don't think you'll be able to do what you want within a single script.
When a browser sends an HTTP request, the server will only be able to send
one HTTP response to that request. When you use CFCONTENT to serve a file,
that file is the body of the response. Using CFHTTP won't get you around
that basic limitation within the HTTP protocol.

If you want to work around this, you can probably do it by using multiple
frames or a data pipe. One frame could use JavaScript to send multiple
requests to the server, although you might find it difficult to get things
to run exactly the way you'd like.

Just did a quick test under CF 5. Iterated a switch statement 10,000 times 
and iterated a similar CFSwitch statement the same number of times. (Loop 
was done using CFLoop in order to eliminate loop structures as a timing issue)

switch (cfscript)  1753

cfsswitch 811

So its still not optimised.

RE: Help with a custom tag

[Andrew Scott]

Yes it is, but you would have to write the code to do this

For example Search for the First # then the second # and between this do
an evaluate on the variable found between them.

Right, the original question was whether there was any way to avoid having
to do this.

Basically, I want the functionality that  has in being able
to parse variables without  tags.  Is this even
possible?

RE: cfscript - pros/cons

[Andrew Scott]

There are many areas where cfscript is not optimised, but having said
that I can't vouch for CF5.0.

There was a lot of talk and I think from memory there are some KB
articles on this, certain loop types are actually slower in cfscript
than cfml. But again this is information based on cf4.5.x!!

RE: Help with a custom tag

[Andrew Scott]

There are two things wrong here...

1) Between your custom tags do the following...
this is #variables.mytest#


2) There is no need to do this in your custom tag...


The reason behind this is that you treat what is between the custom tag
as you would if the it was not between a custom tag. So the output would
be #variable.mytest#, so treat it the same way as anything else you want
the CF to process...

CF5 How to generate the Crystal Report templates?

[Reed Powell]

The updated CFREPORT tag in CF5 looks interesting, since it has been
upgraded to V8 of Crystal Reports.  I never used the old one though, and
have always been unclear as to what software I needed from Crystal/Seagate
to make all of this happen.  What is the minimal software (since their
products are pricey) I need to buy so that my CF5 pages can use CFREPORT to
display reports to the website users?

thanks

I like the idea of remotely hosted components. I belive their asp
