User DSN and System DSN
What's the difference if (when setting up a dsn on a machine) i use user dsn or system dsn? (This is on IIS5/Win2kAS) Right now, if i use system dsn, it appears auotmatically in cf administrator, nice time saver. It was something I never really noticed before but now that I do, I wonder if there is a point to putting it in the UserDSN tab or not.

CFselect puzzling
Hi all - I've got a cfselect box set up to take multiple selections. This inserts a comma delimited list of item id's into my table column.

RE: Reading an XML post
Paul Thanks for the response, but I am unclear on a few things: Apparently the GetHTTPRequestData() allows you to access an XML (SOAP) packet that has been sent to you in an HTTP header... eliminating the need for a form post. If I wanted to code both ends of this application to application transmission in CF 5: how would the sender create the HTTP header to be sent to the receiver? how would the sender send it to the receiver? how would the receiver create a response header? cfheader? how would the receiver return the response? Are there any references or examples of doing both ends of this with CF? TIA Dick At 8:12 PM -0700 8/14/01, Paul Mone wrote: Dick, Yes, you can post most XML packets via an HTML Form. However, HTML forms are for people, and people aren't usually the entities posting XML packets. It is usually a system of some sort that takes data from some other format (i.e. a database) and creates an XML packet and distributes it. That being said, if a person was sending you XML data, they would most likely use an HTML form to POST the data to you. But to a computer system, wrapping the XML packet inside a form field would be an unnecessary and cumbersome layer. XML isn't something that is incredibly handy for humans to parse through or build by hand, but it is a great tool when you need to share/syndicate data between multiple platforms/environments in a system. --- Paul Mone Ninthlink Consulting Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ninthlink.com 619.222.7082 -Original Message- From: Dick Applebaum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2001 3:14 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Reading an XML post I have only been using CF 5 for about 2 weeks and was unaware of the GetHTTPRequestData() function suggested by Paul and Dave Watts...

Re: Siily question re CFDIRECTORY and downloads
here is the answer to your question. I saw it in a post a couple of days ago. Yes ... you need to modify the HTTP Header Content type. If the content type is known to the browser ... it will open the associated application or whatever. If you change the content type to 'application/unknown' the browser will present the download dialog. In CF take a look at: CFCONTENT TYPE=file_type DELETEFILE=Yes/No FILE=filename RESET=Yes/No In ASP take a look at: Response.ContentType Cheers, Bill In a message dated 8/12/01 1:54:01 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi All, I'm trying to create a page where users can download files from.

NAME Optional. Specifies the name of the lock. Only one request will be able to execute inside a CFLOCK tag with a given name. Does this mean then that you don't have to specify what type (read only, exclusive) when you use the name attribute? This is interesting - I believe the docs may be wrong here. As far as I know, using NAME= does not make the lock act like TYPE=Exclusive. You can still do NAME=.. TYPE=ReadOnly. FYI, to be anal, your question is, do I have to specify the type, and the answer is no, you don't, ever, because it defaults to Exclusive, but you _should_ specify the type. === 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 ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

CFMAIL iMS-SE
OK - on Monday, I described how all of a sudden our CFMAIL no longer works. Seems that the SysAdmin on the box that has the SMTP server is now queing up messages to scan for viruses.

However, when I spool up the CFMAIL messages that have been getting rejected since the 3rd (I've only been spooling up about 10) - they still all come right back into the undelivered bin.

Re: CFselect puzzling
First off, a note of caution - if you're storing multiple values in one field in your database, your database is not normalized. You could end up with some real headaches down the road. But, as for your question. I would avoid using the cfselect in this situation and just use a regular select box. Then, I'd do something like so: cfset myselectedlist = myquery.mycolumn select name=myselect size=1 option value=myvalue cfif listfind(myselectedlist, myvalue) GT 0selected My Value /option /select Make sense?

Re: CFMAIL iMS-SE
For iMS to relay you need the following configured: 1) On the relay setting check off the enable box and make sure that the port setting is one that you want to use (standard smtp is port 25) 2) a range or ranges of ip addresses that are allowed to relay through the server (this is the allowed ips button) 3) one or more dns servers (comma-delimited) need to be configured in the post server settings. That should be it. If you need more help then just send me an email directly.

The manager says that because the info is only updated once in a blue moon they don't need the extra calls to the db.

RE: Thoughts
Well the manager wants them to make all the pages static. To have them hard coded. The manager says that because the info is only updated once in a blue moon they don't need the extra calls to the db. Well the developer called me to find out where they could find info on why this would be a bad idea. It depends on the situation, but in reality if a few extra calls to the db server are causing a problem, then perhaps it's best to upgrade the db server instead of trying to band-aid the problem. If that's not a viable option, some caching may cut down the number of db requests. -Ryan ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Thoughts
Well, what he's asking for is not insane. In fact, it really makes a lot of sense - don't make things dynamic that are not dynamic. I know of a lot of people that are reverting to static, or semi-static pages from dynamic pages - especially for pages that really have no reason to be dynamic. Its all for scalability reasons. Having said that, you don't really have to change much. There are a lot of ways of doing what he wants without much work. One way is to just spider over the files and save them as HTML files. That way, if they change, just run the spider again. You could set the scheduler to do it for you.You could use a program like Teleport Pro to do it as well. Another way might be to use the CFCACHE tag - this might take care of everything for you, depending on your situation. So, in my opinion, its not a bad idea for the pages to be just HTML pages. To recode them by hand is crazy, but to use the system you already have in place, and just cache the pages as HTML pages for an indefinate period is the right way to go.

RE: Thoughts
Assuming there's no need for personalization or much in the way of security, it should work fine and avoid any performance hit of the CF/DB calls. Just use CF to generate the static files and keep the manager happy. If they've built content management/editing into the back end they can still use it when content changes are needed and then re-publish the site. Of course, setting up static page publishing system gives the developer a new project to enjoy. :) Or is the manager saying they literally want them hand-coded manually?

Re: Thoughts
cfcache is your friend. CFML Language Reference -- Chapter 1 : ColdFusion Tags CFCACHE CFCACHE allows you to speed up pages considerably in cases where the dynamic content doesn't need to be retrieved each time a user accesses the page. To accomplish this, it creates temporary files that contain the static HTML returned from a particular run of the ColdFusion page. You can use CFCACHE for simple URLs and URLs that contain URL parameters. Syntax CFCACHE ACTION=CACHE or FLUSH or CLIENTCACHE or OPTIMAL USERNAME=username PASSWORD=password PROTOCOL=protocol_name TIMEOUT=#DateAdd(datepart, number, date)# DIRECTORY=directory_name_for_map_file CACHEDIRECTORY=directory_name_for_cached_pages EXPIREURL=wildcarded_URL_reference PORT= port_number ACTION Optional. Specifies one of the following: a.. CACHE -- Specifies server-side caching. The default is CACHE. b.. FLUSH -- Refresh the cached page. If you specify FLUSH, you can also specify the DIRECTORY and EXPIREURL attributes. c.. CLIENTCACHE --Specifies browser caching. d.. OPTIMAL--Specifies optimal caching through a combination of server-side and browser caching. See the Usage section for more information. USERNAME Optional. When required for basic authentication, a valid username. PASSWORD Optional. When required for basic authentication, a valid password. PROTOCOL Optional. Specifies the protocol used to create pages from cache. Specify either HTTP:// or HTTPS://. The default is HTTP://. TIMEOUT Optional. DateTime that specifies the oldest acceptable cached page. If the cached page is older than the specified datetime, ColdFusion refreshes the page. By default, ColdFusion uses all cached pages. For example, if you want a cached file to be no older than 4 hours, code the following: CFCACHE TIMEOUT=#DateAdd(h, -4, Now() )# DIRECTORY Optional. Used with ACTION=FLUSH. Specifies the fully qualified path of a directory containing the cfcache.map to be used when ACTION=FLUSH. The default is the directory of the current page. CACHEDIRECTORY Optional. Specifies the fully qualified path of the directory where the pages are to be cached. The default is the directory of the current page. EXPIREURL Optional. Used with ACTION=FLUSH. EXPIREURL takes a wildcarded URL reference that ColdFusion matches against all mappings in the cfcache.map file. The default is to flush all mappings. For example, foo.cfm matches foo.cfm; foo.cfm?* matches foo.cfm?x=5 and foo.cfm?x=9. PORT Optional. The port number of the web server from which the page is being requested. The port number defaults to 80. The port number is useful because the CFCACHE code calls CFHTTP. If the port number is specified correctly in the internal call to CFHTTP, the URL of each retrieved document is resolved to preserve links. Usage In its simplest form, all you need to do is code CFCACHE at the top of a page for it to be cached. With the ACTION attribute, you can specify server-side caching, browser caching, or a combination of server-side and browser caching. The advantage of browser caching is that it takes no ColdFusion resources because the browser stores the pages in its own cache, thus, improving performance. The advantage of using a combination of the two forms of caching is that it optimizes performance; if the browser cache times out, the server can retrieve the cached data from its own cache. In addition to the cached files themselves, CFCACHE uses a mapping file to control caching. It is named cfcache.map and uses a format similar to a Windows INI file. The mapping of a URL with parameters is stored as follows. Assume a directory c:\InetPub\wwwroot\dir1 that has a CFM file called foo.cfm, which can be invoked with or without URL parameters. The cfcache.map file entries for foo.cfm will look like this: [foo.cfm] Mapping=C:\InetPub\wwwroot\dir1\CFCBD.tmp SourceTimeStamp=08/31/1999 08:59:04 AM [foo.cfm?x=5] Mapping=C:\InetPub\wwwroot\dir1\CFCBE.tmp SourceTimeStamp=08/31/1999 08:59:04 AM [foo.cfm?x=9] Mapping=C:\InetPub\wwwroot\dir1\CFCBF.tmp SourceTimeStamp=08/31/1999 08:59:04 AM The cfcache.map file in a given directory stores mappings for that directory only. Any time the timestamp of the underlying page changes, ColdFusion updates the cache file for that URL only. ColdFusion uses the SourceTimeStamp field to determine if the currently cached file is up to date or needs to be rebuilt. You can refresh the cache in the following ways: a.. TIMEOUT attribute -- ColdFusion tests the timestamp of the cached file against the TIMEOUT attribute. If the cached file's timestamp is older than TIMEOUT, the old file is deleted and a new one created. You can use fixed dates if necessary, but it's preferable to use relative dates. This is the preferred technique and it works for seconds, hours, days, weeks, years, etc. b.. ACTION=FLUSH -- You use ACTION=FLUSH to
RE: Thoughts
You will probably get a lot of responses on this. I assume this is a CF application if so there are several ways to cache content-queries etc. The simplest way is to turn on Trusted Cache in CF Administrator and for prudence upsize the Template Cache Size depending on what it is currently set to and how much RAM is available. By doing this each CF page is cached after the first hit and stays there until Trusted Cache is turned off and the server restarted, no hits to the database for cached pages. This way the manager gets their wish fulfilled without taking such a disastrously unnecessary step. **Be sure to restart CF Server after enabling Trusted Cache.

RE: A good E-Commerce product
We've been looking at both AbleCommerce and, more recently, the release candidate for OSB 3 by Visual Trends (http://www.visualtrends.com/). Both are fully featured products, though AbleCommerce does offer a few nice extras in its QuickStore functionality and WYSIWYG editor. OSB is priced better for us: a flat rate of $5,000 for unlimited stores as opposed to AbleCommerce's per store methods. We believe the OSB administration interface is far easier to use, both for administrators and for clients. Permissioning in OSB seems to be a lot stronger. At the last company I worked at, we used AbleCommerce and I can say with out a doubt that they have a great support staff. I tried contacting Visual Trends a couple days ago to find out the answers to a few questions we had while demoing the product and have yet to hear back from them. Not a good sign. Of course, some of the best companies we deal with regularly have terrible (nonexistent) sales staff but incredible support staff. One more thing to note is that both of these products are really geared to companies that are going to be hosting more than one store on the same server. Though they will both work well in single store installations, you may find that many of their features are unnecessary for what you want to do. In which case, you may want to have a look at a product like CF Web Store (http://www.cfwebstore.com/). It offers much less in the way of functionality but is also a lot easier on the budget. Also, and probably as a result of the reduced number of features, it has a pretty easy to use administration interface. There are quite a few shopping cart solutions similar in scope to CF Web Store. You should be able to find most of those by searching for cart in the Allaire Developer Exchange. Benjamin S.

Re: Thoughts
If the info truly is fairly static and almost never changes, there is no reason to make it database driven / dynamically generated. If they are in some high-traffic area, hard-coding will also increase efficiency of serving them to the many hard-traffic people. However, you have 110 pages today. Are you going to have 220 tomorrow? Are all the pages templated or are you performing a lot of processing to make each one individual? One solution is to generate static pages from the database. (I.E. write a scripts using CFFILE to generate the HTML pages) and then you have the benefit of static pages and the benefits of a database-driven data. It's also probably easier than hand-coding all 110 pages. At 09:18 AM 08/15/2001 -0400, you wrote: I think I know what everyone has to say about this but I thought I would share.

dynamically create drop downs. based on number needed?
hello all. i have a form i need to re-create in the paste there is a section for Team Member Info, here i just had 10 text fields where the project manager would enter in his team members. but now i want to pull the Member_Names from an existing db in a drop down list, i know how to do this. but at the start of this section, i want the user to be asked How Many Team Members? then depending on the number selection i would want that many Member_Names Drop Downs Created. so if there were where only 3 team members, 3 drop downs would appear. So how would i go about doing this. would this be a JavaScript thing? would i first need to select 3 then hit submit, or could i do it on an on change event how? also how would the select boxes then be named?

RE: Thoughts
I worked for a place where they decided to make the pages partly static and partly dynamic. It was a website that sold movies. Things like the synopsis and cover art would change rarely, while the pricing could change at any time. What we did was give the staff the ability to regenerate the static page (if they changed something like the synopsis) on demand. The built page then contains only one query that does a price lookup, as that was the only data that needed to be current at all times. It's a lot less load then having a dynamic page do ten queries whenever someone looks up a title.

RE: Thoughts
You will probably get a lot of responses on this. I assume this is a CF application if so there are several ways to cache content-queries etc. The simplest way is to turn on Trusted Cache in CF Administrator and for prudence upsize the Template Cache Size depending on what it is currently set to and how much RAM is available. By doing this each CF page is cached after the first hit and stays there until Trusted Cache is turned off and the server restarted, no hits to the database for cached pages. This way the manager gets their wish fulfilled without taking such a disastrously unnecessary step. Unfortunately, this is incorrect. Using Trusted Cache doesn't have anything to do with database queries. By default, when the CF Server runs a page for the first time, it reads the contents of the ASCII text and converts those contents to what is commonly referred to by Macromedia as p-code. This p-code can be thought of as a native version of the instruction set originally contained within the ASCII text. By default also, the CF Server caches this instruction set in memory. You can specify the size of the memory allotted for storing cached instruction sets in the CF Administrator. Now when the page, once cached, is subsequently executed again, the CF Server fetches the instruction set from the cache and executes that, skipping the original step of parsing the ASCII text. However, whatever instructions are contained within that set are reexecuted - database queries, HTML output generation, and so on. By default, before the cached instruction set is reexecuted, the CF Server checks the original ASCII file to see whether it has been changed since the instruction set was generated. This requires some disk access overhead, which is generally unnecessary in a production server environment. So, to avoid this overhead, you can enable Trusted Cache in production, and the CF Server won't check the file on disk for changes once it has a cached instruction set. Any database queries within that instruction set will be reexecuted each time the page is run, though.

RE: Reading an XML post
Thanks for the response, but I am unclear on a few things: Apparently the GetHTTPRequestData() allows you to access an XML (SOAP) packet that has been sent to you in an HTTP header... eliminating the need for a form post. If I wanted to code both ends of this application to application transmission in CF 5: how would the sender create the HTTP header to be sent to the receiver? how would the sender send it to the receiver? how would the receiver create a response header? cfheader? how would the receiver return the response? Are there any references or examples of doing both ends of this with CF? When you use HTTP as a SOAP transport mechanism, the SOAP envelope is typically placed not within an HTTP header, but within the body of an HTTP POST request. Here's what that might look like: POST /team/webcontrols/mathservice.asmx HTTP/1.0 SOAPAction: http://tempuri.org/Add Content-Type: text/xml Referer: http://localhost/soap/dhtmlclient/mathservicedemo.html Content-Length: 476 User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows.NT.5.0) Host: www.fmexpense.com Connection: Keep-Alive Pragma: no-cache ?xml version='1.0'? SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/; xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance; xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema; SOAP-ENV:Body Add xmlns='http://tempuri.org/' a xsi:type=xsd:int SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/; 5 /a b xsi:type=xsd:int SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/; 3 /b /Add /SOAP-ENV:Body /SOAP-ENV:Envelope The problem with reading the body of the POST prior to CF 5 is that it's expecting typical form variable encoding - name-value pairs. For some incredibly oversimplified sample code, you might look here: http://www.figleaf.com/figleafhome/cfug/2001/CFUGJun2001/jun2001.zip This contains two SOAP topics covered at the June DC-CFUG, as well as some other stuff. Next month, I'm doing a follow-up SOAP topic with more worthwhile code samples.

RE: locking a loop or the contents
Which code is better and why? A: Locking the whole loop... Since the loop uses a Session variable in its COLLECTION attribute, you need to lock the loop, and not just its contents. There's nothing wrong with copying the structure by value into a local scope, all other things being equal, as you're doing in your example C, either.

Re: Checking CFFORM INPUT
I still can't get one part of my code to pass the input variable. When the user types in for example aosl, it looks in the database and returns the destination (directory path on server) based on the alias match. In this example the destination from the database would be D:\books\aosl. This is then passed to a CFLOCATION which displays that directory (directory code missing) I can't get the alias or destination passed to the page itself.

Verity and remote searches
I'm not having much luck coming to a solid conclusion on this, so I was wondering if anyone on the list might know. Is it possible to have a verity collection that can index documents on remote, disparate (not networked together) machines. I have a few different sites that have pdf documents available for download that I would like to index and be able to search from a different site that is running CF. The url returned would then (ideally) be for wherever the matching document was found. I thought this might be possible using CFHTTP or the new Verity spider, but I haven't done much with either of these, and I've never built a Verity collection from datasources that were not on the same box that CF was running on.

Easiest way is to use a style sheet. If you want to have all the INPUTS on
a page to follow the same style, then try this:
style
SELECT
{
color: black;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: normal;
border : Fuchsia;
text-align : right;
background-color : Silver;
border-width : 0;
line-height : 12px;
padding-bottom : 0px;
padding-top : 0px;
}
INPUT
{
color: black;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: normal;
text-align : right;
background-color : Silver;
width: 51px;
border-width : 0;
line-height : 12px;
padding-bottom : 0px;
padding-top : 0px;
}
/style
If you wanted only some of the boxes to change, then name the style
something like
.SmallInputBox
and then in the INPUT tag use a CLASS=SmallInputBox option - be sure to
get the case
correct!

Re: Hacking CF Web Sites and Applications
Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2001 22:29:13 +0200 From: Jochem van Dieten [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Hacking CF Web Sites and Applications Why a filter looking for words in a URL? To help prevent hack attempts. In some situations, changing the values in a certain locations can create huge security problems. AFAIK the issue is that code (like DROP, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, ALTER and possibly functions/vbscript etc.) is executed in the database. What code can be executed? Wouldn't that be code that is not escaped? So that means that everything between proper quotes is safe by definition. What is left is dates, numbers etc. Well, simply use cfqueryparam for them and you are done. Or am I misunderstanding something here? That issue was the catalyst to this discussion, but the security issues we're talking about (at least I am anyway) covers a much larger area. Jochem PS Some suggestions for Josh:- check formfields too - URLDECODE everything so you can use regex pattern matching (instead of ;%20DROP%20TABLE%20 match [[:space:]]*;[[:space:]]*drop[[:space:]]*table[[:space:]]* so I can't simply replace a space with a tab and bypass your filter - check for all the abovementioned statements Thanks for the suggestion, Jochem, but my script already covers urls, forms and cookies as well as looking for altered spaces. I believe you're making suggestions based on the little example I gave, which is not how my script is laid out. It was an altered, simplified example to explain a point.

We ran name=#session.sessionID# locks when we moved from 4.5 to 5.0 and it appeared to work fine. The official Allaire/MM stance is to use scope locking not name locking (at least for server,application, session variables). I'm feeling rather cynical right now, so I wonder if scope locking isn't chosed as safer - lock the entire scope rather than lock by unique name. Personally I'm tired of locking, throwing on locks timeouts, auto-read-locking not catching non-cfset reads (anybody else know that)... we're moving to client variables.

RE: Subject: Form Formatting
Reed, this is very nice. Thanks for sharing this code. We have been looking
for a similar solution that works in Netscape also. Do you know if this is
possible? We have found many solutions but none that we can get working in
NS 4.5+
I appreciate any input you can share.. thanks in advance.

Easiest way is to use a style sheet. If you want to have all the INPUTS on
a page to follow the same style, then try this:
style
SELECT
{
color: black;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: normal;
border : Fuchsia;
text-align : right;
background-color : Silver;
border-width : 0;
line-height : 12px;
padding-bottom : 0px;
padding-top : 0px;
}
INPUT
{
color: black;
font-family: arial;
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: normal;
text-align : right;
background-color : Silver;
width: 51px;
border-width : 0;
line-height : 12px;
padding-bottom : 0px;
padding-top : 0px;
}
/style
If you wanted only some of the boxes to change, then name the style
something like
.SmallInputBox
and then in the INPUT tag use a CLASS=SmallInputBox option - be sure to
get the case
correct!

A lame question but hoping someone knows straight away.
I am trying to shrink the size of input Text boxes etc... and maybe control
the font used... but can't seem to figure it out.
Anyone with a hint for me?

RE: Session vs. Cookies
If your going to be doing a site that has a lot of load you need to look at either Client vars, or cookies. If it's going to be scaling and going into a clustered environment you can't use session var's and have them stick. In that case you will need to use Client var's and a DB. I personally never use Session var's if I can help it. There are times when you have to, but if I can get away with not using them I don't use them.

These apps are spread across HP-UX, Linux, and NT, and are also spread across multiple sites. We're looking for a smallish, inexpensive piece of hardware that would recognize that a server was down and route traffic to an alternate.

Re: Session vs. Cookies
Just for information purposes we use session variables exclusively to manage our personalization sessions and have not yet gone up over 15% of memory usage. There are a minimum of actual variables used in a session (an array of link values, name, breed and breed image, plus a few flag fields). We are on a sun es 5500 quad with 3 gigs of memory so it is a pretty hefty box but it is our only webserver. We recieve anywhere from 300,000 to 500,000 page views and 2-3,000,000 hits a day and 30,000 to 40,000 sessions. This form of personalization is also scalable over a cluster as all the infomation that is stored in session variables is extracted from the database on any hit to the website if there is not already a session created for the user. If I were using many variables or variables that hold alot of data I would not recommend using this method. To tell the truth I wanted to use client vars but the dba's did not want to allow that many hits to the database and also did not want to create a table to hold them. I do have to say this method works great as it is now.

RE: Thoughts
I think I know what everyone has to say about this but I thought I would share. A web manager here has asked one of the developers to change an app they built. The current one is all db driven, it has a few pages to display about 110 pages worth of info. Well the manager wants them to make all the pages static. To have them hard coded. The manager says that because the info is only updated once in a blue moon they don't need the extra calls to the db. Well the developer called me to find out where they could find info on why this would be a bad idea. Here's an idea - make all of the hyperlinks to the actual HTML page names and then pour them out of the database when you make an update That way you can update the main navigation/lookfeel centrally and still keep them as static pages We have one site like this, but you wouldn't know it was poured Philip Arnold Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited T: +44 (0)20 8680 1133 Websites for the real world ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Executing Dynamic Code
Hello World, I have a template which allows a user to build a criteria based selection. Somthing like where x=10 and/or z gte 100. After the user has created the expression it is stored in a database, then I need to pull it out and try to execute it within a cfif block. So I need to build a string like cfif #thereVariable# #operator# #value# and then actually execute this code. I Know I can do this if I write it to a file and then include the file the code will get executed. But is there any other way to do this other than writing to a file?

Re: client variables jumble?
Try settings your temporary files/Internet Options to check every time and see if that helps. We had a similar problem where the client variables did not seem to be accurate. We determined that this setting was a factor. We ended up appending some random characters to the end of our urls so that the page would not be read from cache which can sometimes cause old client variables data to be used. Not sure if this is what is happening in your case, but its worth noting Brook At 02:46 PM 15/08/01 -0400, you wrote: i have a typical and very random problem. we have a site which uses client variables and have a login-authentication system. difeerent ppl login all the time. but sometimes, out of no where when someone logs in he see's a screen which belongs to someone else. all the data of other person. and these ppl are located in different continents!!. how can it be?? how is someone else session is still maintained and assigned to another person? any ideas leads would be helpful. we client varibles storing in DB (MS-SQL2000) and using CF server 4.5 SP2 on win2k. the client variables settings on CF admin are that they are purged every 10 days. and no global updates.
