uploading a whole folder-- instead of just a file.
---how do I upload a FOLDER to the server? -- PLEASE oh god please. help. me. I've built a template driven web-site for the local community college. Every instructor can upload templates for their classes, which is a collection of files and graphics. The instructors want to up load the root directory and all the folders inside of that (so something like 1 folder with 4 html files and a number of folders in that. One of those folders would be your classic 'images' folder.) so here's the question: ---how do I upload a FOLDER to the server? -- you can only upload individual files using the cffile tag, and the cffftp tag seems to have a similar limitation. PLEASE, can any one point me in the right direction? I've include one of the solutions I tried as a work around. It didn't work because you can't set the Value attribute of a input=file tag the same way you can with a input=text. (If you do set the value of the input=file tag, the page you pass the variables to thinks they are empty regardless) I m hoping this set of code will inspire someone. FIRST FILE--- !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN html head titleUntitled/title /head body form action=uploadtest2.cfm method=post enctype=multipart/form-data what is the local root folder? (the absolute path to this directory) input name=LocalRoot type=Text width=50 br list all the files you'd like to upload. Must be a comma delineated list br textarea cols=35 rows=10 name=localFile/textarea p what is the remote root folder? input name=remoteRoot type=Text width=50 input type=Submit /form /body /html SECOND FILE--- cfset localfileLen = #listlen(form.localFile)# cfset upLoadFile = #form.localRoot# #form.localFile# cfset UpLoadFile = arrayNew(1) !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN html head titleUntitled/title /head body cfloop index=z from=1 to=#localfileLen# cfset upLoadFile[#z#] = (#form.localRoot#) (#listGetAt(form.localFile,z,,)#) form name=form1 action=uploadtest3.cfm method=post enctype=multipart/form-data cfoutputinput type=text name=upLoadFile#z# value= value=#upLoadFile[z]#p align=right/p/cfoutput /cfloop cfoutput input type=Hidden name=localFile value=#form.localFile# input type=Hidden name=remoteRoot value=#form.remoteRoot# input type=Hidden name=LocalRoot value=#form.LocalRoot# /cfoutput input type=Submit /form cfoutput For testing variables br form.localRoot #form.localRoot# br form.localFile #form.localFile# /cfoutput /form /body /html THIRD FILE--- cfset localfileLen = #listlen(form.localFile)# !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN html head titleUntitled/title /head body cfloop from=1 to=#localfileLen# index=x cffile action=upload destination=#form.remoteRoot# filefield=upLoadFile#x# /cfloop cfoutput for testing: br form.localFile = #form.localFile# br form.remoteRoot = #form.remoteRoot# /cfoutput /body /html - again these files are just for insperation.

RE: Session and Client Variables
Woe, cease fire! I, the 'original respondent', was just trying to exercise my awkward sense of humor. Kwan Suh, if I ever pick a fight, I want you on my side. You may be belligerent, but you make a good case. I have worked on two shopping cart type applications with complex variables. On the first I used client scope and wddx, on the second I tried session variables. They both worked fine, but the session variables were more troublesome because things didn't work out as planned (and I did actually plan). My 'brilliant' idea was to use the Duplicate() function to copy all complex session variables to request scope in the application.cfm (to be 'efficient', not lazy), and then copy changed data back to the session variables as applicable in each action page. The problem was that the Duplicate() function was buggy (to put it mildly), and I finally had to resort to copying individual structure keys at the top of every page, and putting cflock tags around the queries, which, I agree, is very cumbersome. So we learn from our mistakes, but had the Duplicat() function worked correctly, I think it would have been a good plan. Perhaps when we upgrade to CF 5 it will work. The reason I spoke of hidden variables was that when using client variables, I stored the wddx in a hidden field rather than in a database. Also, before I got involved in the second appilication, it had been designed without session management, and hidden fields were used to pass data for each selected line item from one page to the next, which was was truly cumbersome to manage. We will probably never use clustered servers, but you have a very good point. Should we ever have the opportunity to work on an application that calls for it, it would be a sign of growth from a business perspective, but a perhaps a nightmare from a programmer's point of view. I hope Gyrus will be ready for his exam, now. Taking cover!

You sound like you've had a bad experience with a session variable cult, or something. But if used in its proper context, session variables can change your (work) life. Yeah, but what's proper context? Do people even bother to do enough analysis to say whether they should go client or session, or do people use session vars because that's what they've been using since they started using CF? I would think that any application should be built with a well thought out plan. Utilize whatever is best in a given situation. A proerly used session variable works better than an inproperly used client and vice versa. Agreed. I'm saying that most people don't even create the well thought out plan. In your darkest hour, when confronted with the need to pass queries of information, the number of rows unbeknownst to you, from one page to another, over and over again in a endless, vicious cycle, you might find that session variables are your only hope. Hardly. That's what WDDX is for. WDDX is great for hanling large recordsets but it is not as fast to access as a session scoped query on a seperate page. Again the method used is depoendent on what you need to do. Yes, some people may have committed evil act in the name of session variables, but don't let hypocrites turn you away from the tool that delivered you from the hands of hidden form fields and time consuming database calls. Why would I need hidden form fields and database calls when I'm using client variables? Take a look at your database activity. Using client variables will generate a database call. Yes, I realize this. But I will bet you 1 million widgets that a properly configured RDBMS is _much_ better at handling locking than a properly configured CF server using session variables. Not to mention that my client app will actually scale, and your session app will not. I think the original respondent was referring to constant database calls for variables that should be persistent. Also try holding a complex structure in a client variable. I've already mentioned this drawback. I would say use what works for you. Do not rely on any one method overly much. If you do you will find that you are not going to get the full benefits that working a rich scripting language like cf can provide. I think the overarching requirement for most, if not all, enterprise-class applications are reliability and availability. I can't see how using session vars meshes with this requirement. Hey, if all someone's making are small apps, go right ahead and use session variables. Just don't expect the application

max length of query string and Acive edit
Hello there, I am using Active Edit to create a page - a couple of these have grown to be massive pages. Unfortunately I am now losing the bottom section of the big pages. I have checked in our SQL server 7 dbase and the data type is set to ntext which I believe can hold 2GB of data. Is there a maximum length that Coldfusion can handle being passed to it or should I be looking for another error. (CF 4.5 on NT4). Cheers Simon ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: SQL Query Problem
No, you would not want to use isnull(BrandID,0). This would cause the number of IDs by which to divide the price total to be incorrect. For example, if you have 10 brands, but 2 of them have NULL fields, the total price should be divided by 8. However, by your proposed method, substituting a 0 (which is what the isnull function would do) would cause the total price to be divided by 10 because technically there is a value for that brand now, hence skewing your average. I would definitely use an IS NOT NULL clause to filter out the wrong fields. Be very careful about this, as I have seen that mistake before, and it wreaks havoc! Dave.

RE: Using characters other than ? in the url query string
PATH_INFO is available as a CGI variable in ColdFusion --- anything after the script name but not including the part after the ? mark is (usually) parsed out as PATH_INFO by web servers. So in http://www.myserver.com/test.cfm/this/is/the/path/info?/andthisisthequerystr ing CGI.PATH_INFO = /this/is/the/path/info CGI.QUERY_STRING = andthisisthequerystring (careful here --- IIS will throw everything after the .com part in PATH_INFO, so you'd instead get CGI.PATH_INFO = /test.cfm/this/is/the/path/info CGI.QUERY_STRING = andthisisthequerystring So you can use PATH_INFO to pass information back and forth in, if you rewrite your URLs accordingly. If your site uses the query string on a URL to pass variables back and forth, and you want to use PATH_INFO instead without rewriting your application (e.g., to get search engines to index your URLs), then there are various ways to accomplish that, depending on your web server and application software. Most that I can think of off the top of my head use the web server's redirection functionality in various ways to accomplish this. Netscape Enterprise Server, for example, supports running CGI programs or ColdFusion programs as additional document directories --- your request would get handed off to another program for redirection, essentially. You'd start with http://www.myserver.com/test.cfm/this/is/the/path/info the server redirects this request to another program which parses out the SERVER_NAME, PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME variables and rewrites the URL with a query string (or adds on to it), then sends the browser a redirect request, i.e., CFLOCATION URL=http://www.myserver.com/test.cfm?/this/is/the/path/info; With IIS, you can set up aliases for redirection as well. Or, from the pages you referred to, you can also install a component onto IIS that will rewrite the request internally for the application server without the overhead of a redirect request to the browser. (Apache pulls a similar trick with the mod_rewrite module.) Hope this helps...

RE: insert question
Since you are having CF do the processing and as long as Oracle is setup as the DSN this should work fine. I have been dealing with Oracle for ten years and it uses SQL just like SQL(database) does. I think you will find that when you do things using CF instead of stored procedures it will go across several platforms where if you use stored procedures it may not. One advantage to not using stored procedures but there are many advantages to using them.

Best practices storing CC
Any advice on storing credit card info? My thoughts are that it should be stored in a separate db which is not accessible via web and have cf push the info to a template behind the firewall to do the actual authorization and push the results back to the main server.

RE: SQL-Server DTS through CF
Richard: I have recently tackled the same task for a project that I was working on. Mind you, my usage was with SQL Server 2000, so any incompatibilities (of which I believe there are none) with 7.0 are not accounted for here. First of all, DTS packages can only be called via command prompt using the DTSRun utility that comes with SQL Server. To execute this through CF, you can leverage an Extended Stored Procedure that comes with SQL Server, called xp_cmdshell. Since it's a stored procedure, it can be invoked via CFSTOREDPROC or even through CFQUERY. Keep in mind that only SQL Server logins with the sysadmin roll can execute Extended Stored Procs. My need was to use DTS to import data from an Excel file uploaded by the user into SQL Server, and perform some manipulation to that data. I wrote my own stored procedure to invoke the extended stored procedure, which then ran the DTS Run Command: Stored Proc --invokes--- xp_cmdShell --invokes--- DTSRun I then pass in the necessary parameters for the DTSRun utility into my stored proc, as shown in the below example: --- BEGIN MY STORED PROC --- CREATE PROC sp_Survey_import @ImportFilePath nvarchar(100), @DTSName nvarchar(20), @server nvarchar(30), @username nvarchar(15), @password nvarchar(15) AS DECLARE @dtsScript nvarchar(100); SET @dtsScript = dtsrun /n + @DTSName + /s + @server + /u + @username + /p + @password PRINT @DTSName EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @dtsScript GO --- END MY STORED PROC --- The import path must be publicly accessible to the Database server, since that is where the procedure is invoked.

Re: Best practices storing CC

RE: Best practices storing CC
Don Vawter asked: Any advice on storing credit card info? We're pretty radical about our beliefs on CC#'s: We don't keep them *anywhere*. We keep the last 4 digits and the CC type, and that's it. The CC# gets immediately PGP encrypted [1] and emailed to our processing center, where it is stored on a machine that, for all intents and purposes, is inaccessible via the web. We also don't have have any responsibility for the machine, so we have pretty much zero liability, which is exactly how we like it. We're CC#-phobic. :) Does this make sense or am I making it too complicated (or leaving something obvious out). Well, while the complexity of a system does not always relate to the security of a system, you never can be *too* secure. I think that any hoops that you can jump through for even the slightest bit more security are worth jumping through. Then again, that may just be my gov't contractor background speaking. ;) What are recommendatsions on encyption, is DES ok or do I need something else? If you *absolutely must* store and retrieve CC#s, then 3DES isn't a bad route. While it is tried and true (having been a gov't std for the last few decades), also know that it is being phased out and replaced. I think the normal key length for good 3DES encryption is up to 256bits? I may be a bit out of it, tho, as I haven't messed with it in a few years. You may also want to look into Blowfish/Twofish. I'm pretty sure there are CFX tags to do each of them. Also, if you haven't read Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier (sp?), do so. It's a bit thick, but it's totally worth it. It'll help show you that security isn't just about encryption and may even give you a few ideas for tightening up your CC# security. -R [1] Notes on PGP :: PGP is rather difficult to get talking to CF. There are pre-built solutions, but they are not for the tight of budget. The CFX_PGP tag is in the $300 area, but I haven't heard any complaints about it. PGP, Inc. has a solution, but it *starts* at $5500 per server. The current PGP tools (7.x) are *intentionally* hobbled to keep you from using them with web servers. [2] There is an API that you can use for the 7.x series, but it is new and completely undocumented, so you just have several hundred source files to work with if you want to build a CFX tag. The previous API is better documented, but it doesn't work with the 7.x series and is now unsupported. I wrote a huge journal entry on the trials and tribulations of trying to get PGP to work. I eventually got it to work, but I'm a bit hazy on whether or not my implementation is even legally/correctly licensed. My advice: tread lightly.

Re: Best practices storing CC
That sure looks like a different question to me. You could invoice customers by either email or paper and have them connect to your web site to pay by credit card. In that case, entering a card number each time is not out of the question. Also, in contast to automated billing, I would think this approach may be more desirable to the billing company. By requiring a live human being to connect and re-enter cc information, you're also getting an explicit approval from the customer for the invoiced charges. With automated card payments, given that the invoice amounts may vary each month, you could have the charges questioned after the cc is billed, and you may see a number of charge-backs.

Re: DreamWeaver UltraDev 4 and CF Studio
Go to www.massimocorner.com for a set of ColdFusion objects for UltraDev that make it easier to work with, and also his Snippets extension to UltraDev, which allow you to work with snippets created in Homesite/CFStudio. If you use the two programs together you'll get the most for your money. UltraDev takes a little getting used to -- especially the floaty windows -- but you can do things in it that you can't do in CF Studio, such as applying rollover behaviors, javascript functions, adjusting table widths, inserting and optimizing images, turning complex code into point-and-click server behaviors, and doing complex recordset navigation easily. Having the button on Studio makes it easy to go back and forth. tom Larry Juncker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message 001701c16eef$83873580$2354ead1@HEARTLAND">news:001701c16eef$83873580$2354ead1@HEARTLAND...

Re: DreamWeaver UltraDev 4 and CF Studio
I've used UD and Studio together since UD 1 came out and before that DW and Studio. Personally designing complex table structures from scratch by hand takes way too much time. That's what CF is all about, RAD... I've done some site designs in DW that would never have been possible by hand simply because of the time it would take to perfect a table structure that was extremly complex. Hopefully after all of the people still using NS4 upgrade, we can finally totally get rid of tables alltogether and use css, but until then, designing a site to look exactly like you want will require complex table design. Take a look at msn or cnn's home page. I'll go out on a limb and say that hand coding either one of those site designs is impossible, and I can guarantee that neither of them were done by hand for sure. Half of the time I dont even save a design in UD though, I just do the design then paste the code into Studio and start refining it. After refining the design if I change my mind and need to change the table structure drastically, I'll just copy back into UD, click a button, then copy back. Unless you follow the Yahoo site design school of thought, a WYSIWYG editor is a necessity imho. jon - Original Message - From: Larry Juncker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 5:39 PM Subject: RE: DreamWeaver UltraDev 4 and CF Studio Thanks - That was kind of what I had come to the conclusion of, Worthless unless you totally use WYSIWYG I like to see what I am coding, so I guess I just stick with Studio.

Re: DreamWeaver UltraDev 4 and CF Studio
Jon, I personally don't agree that a WYSIWYG editor is a necessity for web development. Not at all. In fact, I think it is a crutch for many developers because they never learn a solid foundation and good HTML. Designing complex table layouts is easy if you've been practicing and know HTML like the back of your hand. I've never met a table that I could not make my bitch. I hand code almost everything, and consequently have a very intimidate (no jokes please) relationship with the resulting code.

Re: DreamWeaver UltraDev 4 and CF Studio
Don't get me wrong I am a hand coder too...when it makes sense (which is most of the time). I guess it comes down to design style. Not being an artist, I do my site designs in html, then bring in art elements later, after I'm totally sure I like the structure. Having no images to lead me, I tend to radically change the structure midway through a site. I can not justify hand changing 20 td's into one td with a rowspan of 20 by hand when I have UD close by. I can do it in 10 seconds in UD, it doesn't even need to be thought about. Doing that one task by hand would be a waste of time and money. I totally agree about WYSIWYG being a crutch to new developers also. Believe me, working at a hosting company I have to deal with the army of Frontpage dweebs (nicest word I could think of.. ;-)) everyday. Designing and developing are two different things though, and there is no such thing as a good designer who doesn't have some kind of visual tool in my book. It's just plain stubbornness to insist on hand coding everything. Everyone has a different style though, and required is a bit of a strong word, but if I have an entire site to do and nothing but an idea to start with. It just makes sense to start in a visual editor. jon - Original Message - From: Brook Davies [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 7:26 PM Subject: Re: DreamWeaver UltraDev 4 and CF Studio Jon, I personally don't agree that a WYSIWYG editor is a necessity for web development.

Fusebox - opinions?
OK, I think I'm on the verge of knuckling down and getting friendly with Fusebox for CF. Glancing through the PPT presentations, it seems pretty cool, and quite close to the systems I've developed anyway, only better organised :) A few questions for everyone out there who uses Fusebox: 1. Pros? Cons? Opinions? I've generally only seen good feedback, but I thought I'd see... 2. Is there any good documentation/literature? I think the PPT presentations should get me going, but I know I'll want something a little meatier. I was going to try out the book but it got so-so reader reviews on Amazon.com. Anyone think the book's worth it? Alternative deeper discussions of Fusebox anywhere? 3. I've not really used PHP or ASP. Does anyone know how the moves to have Fusebox work for these is going? Will knowing Fusebox in CF help me get going quicker with PHP/ASP if/when I delve into them (assuming Fusebox has been adapted for them)? 4. Some clients I have are still hosted with CF 4.0 - does this pose any problems for using Fusebox 3? All comments and feedback most welcome :) - Gyrus ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: DreamWeaver UltraDev 4 and CF Studio
I have been using DW since version 1, and before that I have been coding HTML by hand, and I still do (with Studio, which really could be considered a crutch since it helps you along the way with tag insight and all). Anyway, I have discovered UD, especially version 4 which I just bought to be very handy. Like the ASP developer and Interdev, Ultradev serves a good purpose. Although I can lay out tables by hand, what is the point when you have a good tool that pretty much does the work for you? And as far as layering goes, have fun doing it by hand as well. It can and is done, but I prefer to use UD for that. And the CF integration is great. I tried Netobjects Fusion and totally thought it was a waste of time and money (glad I did not buy it, some other poor schlep did and he just let me try it out). And as far as the link in Studio, I like it because I do not have to go to the task bar, click on UD, then browse to the folder that has the file I want to edit. Just click and it is there in seconds. As Ben Forta said some time ago in CFDJ, you have to pick the right web tool (CF, ASP, Java, PHP, etc... for the current project, so goes your editing tools. Use the right tool for the job. Why go to the icehouse to fill the icebox when you have electricity in your house and you can plug in a refrigerator. Why use Notepad just because it is free when there are great tools out there to use that can speed up development time? For just pure coding CF, studio is the way to go. For doing the more mundane stuff like page design, use UD or your preferred WYSIWYG tool (except for FrontPage).
