I am just getting on top of this thread, but I want to at least post a note and let people know that we are listening. I am going to find out what we can do about the issue. We are very committed to ColdFusion and our users. I can't tell you how often in every meeting I go to, the question comes up, how can we support CF better in product (you pick which one). My guess, off the top of my head, based on 10 years of experience in shrinkwraped software, that the code base for CF4.x was closed and archived long before CF5 shipped. It would be really unusual to come out with an update for a previous version of a product to make it compatible with a server that was not released when the product was. Perhaps there is something that we can do though so I will look into that. I am sorry this is causing frustration here, I should have been on top of it a little earlier, but the volume of mail here is quite high and I was catching up. _ Matt Brown Community Manager Macromedia (650) 481-4525 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Register now for Macromedia DevCon 2001!

Re: template statistics...
I'm not sure if that data is available, it probably is, but when I want to time different sections of code here is what I do. It will probably work for you. At the top of the template I create a timing structure, and then any point I want to see when the piece of code executed I insert a getTickCount() timestamp and label the time. For your purposes getting the tickcount at only the top and bottom would suffice. some code... execute BigUglyCode... more code... GetTickCount() is supposedly accurate to milliseconds, so subtracting the start time from the end time will get the time in milliseconds that it took the code between to execute. jon Paris Lundis wrote: >silly question.. > >you know that template enhanced admin stuff that trails on the bottom >of the pages when you specify IPs to report such to?... > >well namely the execution time in milliseconds... how can I get that >value directly (programmatically)... want to utilize it within code >elsewhere... couldn't find any samples or documentation on it... > >-paris >[finding the future in the past, passing the future in the present] >[connecting people, places and things] > > > > > ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: IIF and DE
Hi, Good idea, but I think you missed the problem. There is not two different expressions to evaluate to be TRUE or FALSE as in your example -- just the isDefined function.

Say that the parameter "strFoo" doesn't exist, consider the following code: ... blah blah blah ... ... blah2 blah2 blah2 ...

In most cases, yes... at the company I work at, however, we build custom applications (e.g. intranets and extranets) that we have a "template" for, and we just customize these for a particular platform (whatever the customer wants) and make tweaks here and there at the customer's request. In order for this to work, and to be able to re-use what we've done and not be tied down to one database, we can't use stored procedures (and the intranet and extranet applications we create are certainly "complex" systems). In our case, we either create another layer of abstraction (e.g. EJBs, regular Java classes, etc.) or simply write the SQL in query files (assuming we're using ColdFusion, that is) - either way we almost completely do away with stored procedures in this case. One thing I like about Java is the ability to use "prepared statements", which can be created dynamically at run-time, but is only compiled on the server *once*, and can be used as many times as needed with different parameters. In this case, the speed improvement of a stored procedure is negligible (certainly not noticeable). > > While I can imagine that this is possible, I'd argue that in most cases, > you're going to get better overall performance by placing all data > manipulation code (including the parts of your business logic that involve > data manipulation) in stored procedures.

RE: shopping cart / online store
Actually, the argument here goes both ways. On one hand, you could code all your queries into stored procedures. In this manner, database operations typically end up performing faster than they would with inline ColdFusion statements. However, if you want to port your ColdFusion code to a different RDBMS (i.e. MS SQL Server to Oracle), then you'll likely have to re-write all the stored procedures per Oracle's standards. Additionally, if your ColdFusion developers do not have access to directly modify the stored procedures (sometimes only the DBA will have these rights), then making a change to a database call now involves more people and typically takes longer to complete. On the other hand, you could code all your queries into the ColdFusion code. In this manner, the queries will not run as fast, but any developer with access to change CFML code with also have direct rights to change database calls - eliminating the possible bottleneck mentioned above with getting a DBA involved. However, now if someone wants to port the application to a different language (i.e. ASP, PHP, Perl, whatever) or perhaps build an add-on application that points to the same database, you've now got to re-write all that database business logic in the new language or the new application. That said, as a developer you really have to weigh this against what best suites your needs. Perhaps you're dealing with a low volume site on a hosted server where you don't have rights to create/update stored procedures. In that case, it makes more sense to build your database logic in-line with statements. However, if you're dealing with a high-traffic site with tons of simultaneous users and have rights to create/update stored procedures (in addition to the knowledge of how to actually write them), you'd probably be best off writing your database logic into stored procedures. Either way, if you shift the RDBMS or the language of the application, you're going to run into some need to change large portions of logic - whether it's in stored procs or it's in ColdFusion code.

Another problem with putting too much business logic in stored procedures is that you put too much strain on the database if the site is hit hard - I worked on a site that gets upwards of a million hits a day (www.casio.com) and using stored procedures to do too much business logic would have bogged down the database servers far too much to make it worthwhile.

I started working with ASP last week, and passing data back and forth from the DB is a nightmare since I am so used to coldfusion's so very easy query thingamajig. But the ASP project I was updating really relied on stored procedures, and updating it was simple! Although passing variables and such to the stored procedure was still more of a headache than using CF's super dee duper stored procedure param tags =). Stored procedures are your friend! Try to code your site to make the code updated easy. Try not to spaghetti code, and all that stuff they taught u in programming basics. As far as functionality is concerned, think about how cool you want this application to be, then consider if it's worth the time and money.

OT: XML Questions
So, anyways, I'm creating a DTD for an XML document and have a few questions... I have a vendor that has an address. The address consists of various elements such as street, city, etc. Now then, the address element itself has no attributes or data directly in it. Is it worth having an address element? e.g. 123 any street calgary Also, when creating the XML document, if there is no street, should I do or just omit the attribute altogether? Do parsers get angry when there are elements that are empty? ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Encrypt and Decrypt - CFX_FuguCrypt demo is up...
Yesterday after mentioning our CFX_FuguCrypt tag, which uses a URL-friendly variant of the fast and popular Blowfish algorithm (no known weaknesses to my knowledge), I got private responses from many of you expressing your interest in the tag. You can now demo the tag at: http://www.humankindsystems.com/FuguCrypt.cfm As you'll see, its encrypted strings will contain only characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, periods and hyphens. Totally URL-safe, and more pleasing to the eye than a bunch of $#(!#@^ characters that make your URLs look like a Tarantino script. On that page is an email address to which you can give feedback on whether or not you think we should package this up as a commercially-available CFX tag. All feedback is greatly appreciated.

Re: Netscape 6.1 Problems
how very interesting. i didn't even really think about anything "launching" the javascript. after one hit the submit button, one was taken to the action page which contained right off the bat the custom form validation tag. if there was a problem with one of the relevant form fields, that chunk of javascript was simply run. just for kicks, i amended the below code to be a little more formal: and NN 6.1 now is having no problems with it and is doing exactly what it should be doing. apparently, the newer browser versions are more particular about structure or something. in any event, judith (judy?), your reply got me thinking down a different path, so thank you very much! ~kamie Judith Campbell wrote: > What event is launching your javascript.

I use crystal reports for a web site and it works fine having some new

do not use the tag. I have a page that calls out the activex or java

you need the CF page let me know and I will send it.

just set the CF variables then call out our report page.

RE: shopping cart / online store
The problem with using stored procedures is that if you decide to switch databases, you have to re-write all of them because almost all database vendors use different stored procedure code and structure. By writing the queries in the program itself (included as a query file or in the actual file, whichever), you're not quite as locked into the database - as long as you're using a relational database that supports SQL standards and you write standard SQL, you should be ok to plug and play databases as you please - stored procs screw that all up. Another problem with putting too much business logic in stored procedures is that you put too much strain on the database if the site is hit hard - I worked on a site that gets upwards of a million hits a day (www.casio.com) and using stored procedures to do too much business logic would have bogged down the database servers far too much to make it worthwhile. Instead, we load balanced it all onto several really fast ColdFusion servers and they do the business logic. -Original Message- From: Fuon See Tu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 5:29 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: shopping cart / online store Coding wise, you better use a real good methodology (gotta do that at all times anyways :P ).

RE: shopping cart--switching to SSL with session variables
The downside is that if someone sees the CFID and CFTOKEN on another box (don't ask me how), they can steal the users session and have access to all information that would normally be available. We had this problem on a site I worked on and had to avoid ever passing the CFTOKEN and CFID around in the query string, even if there wasn't a good chance that someone would steal your session (you can't be too careful!). Also make sure there isn't already a "?" in the query string - ColdFusion seems to choke on multiple question marks in the query string sometimes. -Original Message- From: Megan Cytron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 5:10 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: shopping cart--switching to SSL with session variables Does anyone foresee any problems with appending "?#session.URLToken#" to the url to which a form submits when switching from an "insecure" server to a secure server. It seems to work great in preserving the shopping cart session for this particular project, since everything is on one box (and has enabled us to avoid delving into WDDX or database storage). It essentially helps the secure server to locate the session by passing a CFID and CFTOKEN. Just wondering if there are any downsides to doing this that we may not have considered... Thanks!

Re: Upfrade CF4.5 Pro to 5 Ent
Check your log files. We had one CF log file that was about 200MB and the installation tried to read it into memory. It used up all the RAM and hung. After clearing the log files, (I cleared em all to be safe.) the installation went fine. All apps worked without modification. Obviously be sure to select the "migration" option when you begin the install to import your existing ODBC datasources, Verity collections, custom tags and all other custom settings.

shopping cart--switching to SSL with session variables
Does anyone foresee any problems with appending "?#session.URLToken#" to the url to which a form submits when switching from an "insecure" server to a secure server. It seems to work great in preserving the shopping cart session for this particular project, since everything is on one box (and has enabled us to avoid delving into WDDX or database storage). It essentially helps the secure server to locate the session by passing a CFID and CFTOKEN. Just wondering if there are any downsides to doing this that we may not have considered... Thanks!

I've always liked http://dansie.net/cart.html . It's a really simple Perl based cart that is pretty flexable. It can handle "mom and pop" type sites or really heavy e-commerce sites.

Re: crystal reports
I'm running crystal reports 8.5 with CF5. I've had to do some wrangling to get it to work correctly. As of Crystal 8.5 they moved their web reporting tool to the Crystal Enterprise program. It's included free with CReports, but only comes with 5 concurrent licenses. When I used that with CF4.5 or CF5, the program didn't seem to want to log off the users so I would quickly run out of licenses. My solution was to use the Crystal Reports COM object. Unfortunately, I ran into the same problem because CF would never destroy the object when finished. My final solution that has been working for around 2 months now was to create a VB COM object that called the Crystal Reports COM object and had a method to explicitly destroy the Crystal Reports COM object. I actually added some functionality so that the VB COM object exports the report to a pdf and CF serves that to the browser. It works much better than either of the online viewers provided by Crystal Marlon - Original Message - From: "Tom Davison" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 3:38 PM Subject: crystal reports > Ok, I went through all the old emails regarding crystal reports and there didn't seem to be many answers to the questions I saw.

Netscape 6.1 Problems
okay, i've run out of ideas and am hoping someone on this list can help. after hitting the submit button, my code calls upon -- first thing in the form's action page -- an in-house custom tag that does some form validation. if anything in the form is not correct, a javascript pop-up lets the user know what isn't right. this tag, which we've been using for years, has worked beautifully in all browsers. for some reason, NN 6.1 is not liking it. instead of popping up the message and kicking the user back to the form, NN 6.1 duplicates everything in the javascript, which means popping up the message twice and kicking the user back two pages to the shopping cart (which means they have to fill out their contact/payment info all over again -- not good!). why is this happening??? has anyone else encountered similar behavior with NN 6.1? after doing the form validations, here is the code in the custom tag: any thoughts would be much appreciated. thanks! ~kamie -- Kamie B.

No data in the selected time period. (Server Reports)

RE: subtracting quantity
What does the field InOut store? If it is the number checked out, you want to increment it like: UPDATE tblApplications set InOut = InOut + 1 WHERE appID IN (#form.appID#) And your select for the list box could check the value of InOut agains the number available, which I assume is another field. If inOut is the number available, decrement the field like: UPDATE tblApplications set InOut = InOut - 1 WHERE appID IN (#form.appID#) Of course, this all assumes that appID is an integer. This works in MSSQL, but I'm not sure about other ODBC systems.

Re: subtracting quantity
Instead of looping out the input, use QuotedValueList() function, thatputs the value into a comma delimited list and wraps each value inside single quotes, and then you use the IN SQL function. So let's say for example, 1 value was passed, QuotedValueList(a) would equal '343'. if 3 values were passed, it would equal '343','323','43'. and so on.

RE: SQL
delete from YourTableNameHere (where whatever conditions are met) you don't HAVE to use a 'where' clause on your delete, and apparently it doesn't matter if you don't in this specific case, but it can be *really* dangerous not to use it on 'real' data (i'm sure everyone here can attest to an accidental delete without a where clause at some point - i know i can). -Original Message- From: Rayna Evans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 3:36 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: SQL I am trying to clear some data out of a table i created which is used in a CF application I am developing.

RE: subtracting quantity
do a "set InOut = InOut - 1" instead of what you have - this will subtract one from InOut in the database each time the query is called (and it will keep going into negative territory if you're not careful) When you want to add to InOut (i.e. when it's checked back in) change the '-' to a '+'. -Original Message- From: Jones, Becky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 2:38 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: subtracting quantity i have a form for users to check out an application. most of my applications are a quantity of 1, so once it is checked out, it will not show up in the drop down list of apps to check out until it is checked back in.

Be very wary of ektron solutions as they have not been tested in what I would call professional environments. We use the products on a clustered CF50 solution and as we have had installation and general support issues, we find the product has never been tested under these conditions.

I'm sure if you have a small site, on a single server without redundancy, and all your webserver pathing is done to the local machine, then yes this product is probably a decent solution for you.
