Re: Disconnecting Data Sources for Upload?
This is a bit of a bubblegum solution, but you can have your client run a lock killing query just prior to upload. Just setup a quesry that they can navigate to in their browser (I call it qLockKiller.cfm). The SQL should be something like SELECT something FROM nothing. That will cause a db error and unlock Access (remove the .ldb file). Sometimes the query needs to be run afew times. I'd suggest doing this at non-peak times as somebody could hit the db again in the time it takes to fire up the FTP and send up the db. All that said...clients should not mess with uploading databases over top live ones...transaction will inevitably happen between the download and upload and thus data will be lost. Best solution is to set CF admin to only allow SELECT statements durring this process so no data can be altered. Of course this requires access to CF admin which is not always easy if hosted in a shared environment.

RE: UPS Prices
On 12/10/01, Matt Robertson penned: After that experience I decided I can't depend on a 3rd party's good will to let ecommerce sites keep working. Built a tag that uses downloaded/imported rates rather than trying to keep up with UPS, their changing API and usage restrictions (at the time of v1.1 and 2.0 (which was a whole year-and-a-half ago...

I hacked Ben's UPSPrice.cfm tag to work with version 1.2, which it still works fine with. As far as licensing, they wouldn't issue me a developer's license (not a big enough fish I guess), but it seems that the tag is OK to use as long as the end user registers. Here is my back and forth with UPS: Me: Why CAN'T I have a developer's license?? UPS: UPS has limited the number of third party developer requests to ensure that it can appropriately manage and support the third party developer program. UPS has received a very large number of requests from developers seeking to license the OnLine Tools. AS the program moves forward and UPS gains additional experience with the program, UPS may have the ability to license a greater number of third party developers. Me: Thanks Renee'. At least it's an explanation, albeit a pretty poor one. :) So, if I build a shopping cart for someone who would like to use UPS, I can develop a module for them to use as long as they register as an end user, correct? UPS: That is correct.

RE: Disconnecting Data Sources for Upload?
I am trying to create an ecommerce site using a flat file database solution, and I want to know if anyone has had much experience with using Excel or CSV files? I keep hearing about the advantages over Access (no memory leaks, quicker access times, highly portable) and that they can greatly reduce the intiial costs of startup and ownership. My target deployment platform is PWS hooked to an @Home cable modem. What I want to know is: Does quering an Excel file create a persistent ODBC lock on the file? How about raw text? Will I be able to overwrite the file every five minutes if I need to, or will I have to launch a fake query?

RE: UPS Prices
Yeah, that experience pretty much mirrors mine, although it never occurred to me to back-door it like you did. Clever. I'm surprised an earlier API is still working. Probably a heavy hitter somewhere told 'em to leave it alone or else. What creeps me out is not reliability. Its hanging my you-know-whats out, asking for them to get chopped off if UPS decides to revise their API yet again. The first time it happened I had to run around and redo a bunch of sites for free. Should have gotten clients to sign off on the limitations/risks of using a 3rd-party add-in. From my perspective, At least I *know* that I'm good for a year. Last year's rate update was a snap. This year's is going to need some new things given recent rate changes, but it can't be that bad.

RESOLVED: Error clearing dynamic Client Variables.
Hey all,
I figured out how to do this, and whew! It wasn't easy. And it doesn't
make sense to me..but it works.
CFSET CurrentDate= #StartDate#
cfloop CONDITION=#CurrentDate# LTE #EndDate#
CFIF
IsDefined(Client.Comment_#Evaluate(#DateFormat(CurrentDate,'mmdd')
#)#)
CFSET clientvar =
Comment_#Evaluate(#DateFormat(CurrentDate,'mmdd')#)#
CFSET temp = DeleteClientVariable(ClientVar)
/CFIF
CFSET CurrentDate=DATEADD(d,1,#CurrentDate#) !--- Advance the
current date by one day ---
CFSET CurrentDate = DateFormat(#CurrentDate#,'mm/dd/')
/CFLOOP
I had to se the variable first, and then call it in the
DeleteClientVariable function.
Totally crazy, but it worked.
Also, in ANOTHER deleteclientvariable statement, I had to use QUOTES
around the variable name, whereas you would notice in this one I did
not. More weirdness :(
Here is the code for the other one which involves a WDDX thingy.
(special thanks to Sandy for showing me this neat code :) )
CFIF ISDefined(client.EquipmentForm) !--- Make sure that equipment
has been entered ---
cfwddx action=WDDX2CFML input=#Client.EquipmentForm#
output=EquipmentForm
cfloop index=counter from=1 to=5 step=1
!--- CHeck if Select Box is empty. If not then insert values,
otherwise loop again ---
cfif len(evaluate('EquipmentForm.chooseequip#counter#'))
cfquery name=InsertEquipment datasource=relora
dbtype=Oracle80
INSERT INTO tblEquipEntry
VALUES
(tblequipentry_seq.nextval,#TheMainID#,'#Evaluate('EquipmentForm.choosee
quip#counter#')#',#Evaluate('EquipmentForm.hours#counter#')#)
/cfquery
/cfif
/CFLOOP
CFSET temp = DeleteClientVariable('EquipmentForm')
/CFIF
See? I had to wrap EquipmentForm in single quotes for it to work!
Totally weird! :-\

RE: Disconnecting Data Sources for Upload?
Ben, I agree with you. On all of our in-house applications, we use SQL Server. This particular customer is a local chamber of commerce who uses Access internally to maintain their list of members. There are only 500 or so members, and they want the Access database to power the membership directory of their web site. They will never pay for SQL work, and we assist them for exposure in the community. Since the DB that is being uploaded is a copy, and is only used for select queries, there is no worry of corruption. This site is also small enough that simultaneous read-writes are not an issue either. And there is no credit card information or sensitive information in the DB at all. So in this particular case, Access is the best solution. Next time I will offer more data to keep the thread on-track. ;) Cheers.

Archive and Deploy - Error, process is currently running
Hello, I'm attempting to archive a site and push it to another one of our development servers, but when I click on the Generate Archive button I get an error message that states Another archive/restore process is currently running. You must wait for this process to complete before you may start a new action,. I asked around and no one is currently archiving or deploying anything on this box. The box was restarted this morning, so it's not an idle process that someone left hanging either. The only thing I can remember is a couple of weeks ago we attempted to archive a large portion of this machine and it tanked during that process and we had to reboot in the middle of the archive. So I'm wondering if there is a setting somewhere that says that archive process is still open and therfore blocking others from occuring. And if so, where can that setting be overwritten?

RE: UPS Prices
On 12/10/01, Matt Robertson penned: Yeah, that experience pretty much mirrors mine, although it never occurred to me to back-door it like you did. Clever. I'm surprised an earlier API is still working. Probably a heavy hitter somewhere told 'em to leave it alone or else. What creeps me out is not reliability. Its hanging my you-know-whats out, asking for them to get chopped off if UPS decides to revise their API yet again. The first time it happened I had to run around and redo a bunch of sites for free. Should have gotten clients to sign off on the limitations/risks of using a 3rd-party add-in. :) Well, what I did with Ben's tag was to build it so it uses the same parameters, then I change them inside the tag. Like GNDRES and GNDCOM aren't supported any more. It's just GND and you have to pass ResidentialInd as 0 or 1 to specify residential or commercial. So I still pass GNDRES or GNDCOM to the tag, then switch it to GND and set ResidentialInd to 0 or 1, accordingly. Same with the rest of the stuff they changed. This way I had only to replace the old tag on all the sites I'd used it with. -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ColdFusion Solutions / eCommerce Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.twcreations.com/ ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists

Templates executing twice CF bug
Greetings, I've identified a somewhat minor but possibly damaging bug in CF 5. It's pretty strange, but true. Zac Belado has confirmed that this was also the problem in his case (see his Page Processing Twice message from earlier today). It seems to only affect CF5 (4.5 was also tried) but so far only tested on W2K. The bug causes a template to be executed twice by the CF engine. It literally runs everything connected to the request twice (all includes, parent template, etc). There is no indication of this unless you have data that is noticeably affected (such as inserting DB records). The HTTP request is not doubled, only the actual CF code execution. This is not browser or Web server-related in any way. The cause seems to be missing cfoutput tags around a variable call, and apparently specifically in an IMG tag (some others were tried with no problems surfacing). So some code like this: img src=#variables.someVariable#/test.gif (w/out cfoutput tags anywhere around it) will cause double execution. Wrap it in cfoutputs (or in comments) and the problem goes away. Strange, no? So strange that I wrote a test for this. I've pasted my test template below, but if your email client makes it unreadable then you can also download a version here http://www.WorldDesign.com/CF/BugTest.cfm.txt. Instructions are in the comment. I'll also submit this to MM. Comments welcome. Cheers, -Max BugTest.cfm --- !--- This test template demonstrates an apparent bug in ColdFusion v.5 that causes a template to be executed twice per request. Run this template and look for a file named BugTestLog.txt in the same folder as the template. It should have 2 entries with exact same date/time stamp every time you request this template. As you can see there is no HTTP redirection/reload involved and the browser only requests the template once (check your web server log to verify). There is apparently no way to tell that the execution is happening twice except by looking at external events (like the log file double entry in this example). The cause seems to be missing cfoutput tags around a variable call, and apparently specifically in an IMG tag (some others were tried with no problems surfacing).

RE: Templates executing twice CF bug
I must admit, I was a doubter. Here's how I confirmed your bug: CFPARAM a server variable to zero. Increment it by one, then display it. If you include a non-CFOUTPUTed variable in an image tag, the number is displayed incrementing by two. Take out the mysterious IMG tag, or turn it into a garbage BLAH src=... tag, and the number seems to increment by one. Very bizarre!

Re: getting values from form field
cfloop collection=#form# item=i cfoutputThe value for : form.#i# is: #form[i]#br/cfoutput /cfloop -- Massimo Foti [EMAIL PROTECTED] Team Macromedia Member Baskin, Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message Hi, i'm working on an app now that using dynamically named text boxes. i need to know the name of the text box (which happens to be an ID value) and the value of that text box so i can loop through a query and set the ID to a new value. I can loop through the form fields list to get the ID, but how do i get the value once i know the ID. I tried looping with: cfloop index=i list=#form.fieldnames# cfoutput #i# = #Evaluate(i)# /cfoutput /cfloop but i just get the same value for the two. can anyone tell me how to do this? thanks. com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists ~~ Your ad could be here.

RE: Is CFGRAPH Crap?
I keep getting this error: Could not connect to JRun Connector Proxy But I'm only running 1 report with the new CFGraph on it. Are these not scalable?? -Original Message- From: Ben Koshy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 4:37 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Is CFGRAPH Crap? My experience is that its CRAP! I played with it a lot when it first came out excited to have a built in graphing feature. Very quickly I realized that it doesn't scale very well for real-world applications. If its not like a percentage or value out of 100 or you want to customize the look of this very generic graph, it appears to be impossible. Or I gave up to early. I'm sure someone could build a better graphing tool with DHTML or the Flash Connector Kit.

Is the new CFGRAPH tag crap or is it just designed for very basic usage? Specifically, I need to increase the width of the graph -- partly to make more room for the labels in a vertical bar chart (and partly for aesthetics). I've searched the archives and have seen other people asking but no definitive answer. Should I just bag CFGRAPH or is it a little more robust than I'm thinking at this point?

RE: Help!
My guess would be that the SQL server is not returning in a specified time, might pay to also have a look at the resource monitor and see what is happening, memory wise. I say this because it might be a case of too much being held in memory at one time! In this scenario, is this a single hit or is this in a production where it's getting a lot of hits!! You might want to look a caching the query, and maybe making it an application scope variable with the proper locks. This would cut the load to the SQL Server it would also mean that less memory would be being used. Just a few thoughts of the top of my head!! -Original Message- From: ehoma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 11 December 2001 12:23 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Help! No, it seems that the error message, document position (45:1) to (45:53), is pointing to the offending query. If I comment that query out it no longer causes the error. The query in question is: CFQUERY NAME=DistinctHits DATASOURCE=SonyExcess SELECT DISTINCT IncomingIP FROM SiteHits /CFQUERY Pretty simple. There are about 3,500 records in the table.

RE: Templates executing twice CF bug
I am not going to sit here, and get lost in this. I tried everyone of your suggestions and must admit it doesn't do it here. I am going to think this might be an IIS problem, because CF would not be passing this bit of code anyway as it would be headed back to the IIS resources. Sorry guys but I tried everything to do what you guys have tried, but remember this if IIS can't handle the #'s then maybe this is another security hole by MS? -Original Message- From: Fisichella [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 11 December 2001 5:09 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Templates executing twice CF bug I try it for CF 4.5 Server Prof on Win2K Prof. Have the same problem.

Page runs twice!!
Guys I want to share something with you!! Depending on your application design, I would be hesitant to say that you either have a case of cfmodule blah= / or cfmodule blah=/cfmodule somewhere as explained for a Tag to run twice it has to be called twice and the above does this. However let me tell you something else that a lot of you newer developers tend to have forgotten. HTML is not parsed via CF they are passed back to IIS to deal with. There has been times I have looked at code and know that it should work. But with the advent of DHTML, each browser does it differently. But there is one tag (I don't recall) I tried to give it an ID attribute and found that I had to make sure it was in a certain spot for the class attribute to work. Anyway I am ranting again, but the point is I could not duplicate it here under W2K Professional and Windows XP but I am also very well patched with MS patches etc so maybe as I stated it is an IIS problem!! Anyone wish to try under Linux/Solaris servers or even Apache? ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
Re: Templates executing twice CF bug
I just tried this on the following setup: O'Reilly WebSite Pro 2.5.4 ColdFusion 5 Enterprise Windows 2000 Server The first time the template was executed there was only one timestamp. Each additional time there were two timestamps. So, it looks like the problem occurs when the template gets cached by ColdFusion and that it is also not related to IIS. Do you have template caching enabled?
