Fwd: Re[2]: IIS 5 WWW-Server and writing of logfiles
Hello everybody, happy easter. Thanks for your answers on my issue here. Due to traffic analysing reasons we don't want to go and observe 45 logfiles or more every logfile representing the same customer. Most likely we will be merging the 45 different logfiles together with dos-commands under a batch-file. Hopefully the created logfile after the merge won't be too big. Thanks again for the ideas what options I have.

Re: 2 Selects killing me
Hi Micheal, I had exactly the same problem and was unable to solve it. It expects something specific from the query. I used their sample table and it works. When I get my query to return exactly the same thing with my table, the only difference being an extra ID field. The only thing I can think of is the the first column must be the primary key.

RE: CF Can't insertinto SQL2K ... any ideas?

RE: CF Can't insertinto SQL2K ... the answer ..
Turns out the Sysadmin moved the database to a different ip address. Didn't tell me yet. He assures me he was GOING to! So I was accessing the old database with my Query Analyser, fixing problems, setting up tables etc, but I wasn't making any changes on the database that ColdFusion was accessing. So no matter what I did, thinking I was fixing the problem, I did nothing of the kind. No wonder everything I did made no difference. I'd set up the table in this example with a teensy error in it, and just at that moment the Sysadmin moved the ip addresses to the new location. So I couldn't correct the error, even though I thought I was. Thanks everyone for the helpful suggestions, but I bet none of you had anything close to that in mind!

Re: Defroster
It went out of business for good reason. The product did not translate CF but instead created some COM object to mimic the CF features. Rather than a nice and simple CF page you now have a single object that is almost impossible to debug and update. It would be a great idea if someone with the time and knowledge would write a true translator. Hi, yes Defroster was an application that claimed to convert Cfusion to ASP. I understand it did not do well on code with any degree of compexity; and the company that put it out went out of business about a year ago. derek n.

Re: Help With Query
Frank, This definitely sounds kinda fishy. ;) So let's see...you've got FISH and you've got a TANK. Those would each be tables in your db. In the FISH table you could include a field called TYPE to designate goldfish or whatever. So a sample db design would be: FISH (FishID, FishType, FishComments, ...) TANK (TankID, TankOwner, FishID, ...) Then your query to produce the same type of fish in each tank would be something like this: SELECT f.type, f.comments, t.tankowner FROM fish f inner join tank t on f.fishid = t.fishid WHERE f.type = 'goldfish' and t.tankid = 2 To count all of the fish in a particular tank: SELECT count(*) t.fishid as fish_count FROM tank t WHERE t.tankid = 2 The inner join query assumes an MS Access db.

EG: Here are the results found in the description field: Image 1, 2, 3 etc Here are the results found in the title field: Image 1, 2, 3 etc (or none at all..) Here's the query: Cfquery name=latestphotos datasource=#application.ds# SELECT ID,description,title,owner,album,thumb_user_path, views FROM thumbnailelements WHERE description like '%#url.rope#%' OR title like '%#url.rope#%' OR owner like '%#url.rope#%' OR album like '%#url.rope#%' GROUP by description,title,owner,album,ID,thumb_user_path,views /cfquery I only really need to display results for the Album, Owner, Title and Description. Here's the cfoutput code: TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=100% border=0 CFOUTPUT group=description QUERY = latestphotos !--- Determine if this is record 1, 4, 7, etc...--- !--- If so, open the row. --- CFIF CurrentRow MOD 3 IS 1 tbodyTR /CFIF TD class=dark vAlign=top width=32% a href=#application.singlephoto#?pid=#id#IMG class=imgborder src=#thumb_user_path# border=0/a BRB#title#/B (#views#)br #owner# p /p /TD TD width=1%IMG height=16 src=imagebin/spacer.gif width=16 border=0/TD !--- Determine if this is record 3, 6, 9, etc... --- !--- If so, close the row. --- CFIF CurrentRow MOD 3 IS 0 /TR/tbody /CFIF /CFOUTPUT !--- If the query record count is not equally divisible by 3, --- !--- the last row was not close. --- !--- Determine how many more columns are needed, create them --- !--- and close the row. --- CFIF latestphotos.RecordCount MOD 3 IS NOT 0 CFSET ColsLeft = 3 - (latestphotos.RecordCount MOD 3) CFLOOP FROM = 1 TO = #ColsLeft# INDEX = i TD /TD /CFLOOP /TR/tbody /CFIF /table Sorry for the mammoth post - hope someone can advise.

RE: Internationalization
Good list; I have just one more point for Paul to consider. Sales taxes. Paul, you say you are a maker of a commerce site. Consider the ability to put two tax codes and percentages. In many provices in Canada, for example, there is a federal sales tax (GST) and provincial sales tax (PST). That is likely to be true for many countries with a federal structure. dn. On 31 Mar 02, at 1:53, Mike Kear wrote: I know you're thinking about technical things, but there are some common errors you can easily make, and a huge number of American companies make them (1) Not all countries have zip codes, and only a few have 5 character numeric codes. So don't REQUIRE a 5 numeral zip code. (2) Few countries use two characters to name their states/provinces, and some don't have any such divisions at all. So don't make your state field a drop down list consisting of only the 50 US 2character state abbreviations. (3). American 1-800 numbers don't work outside the USA. So provide a regular phone number if you're going to put a 1-800 number. (4) Only North America has phone numbers in the format (999) 999-. The rest of the world has a dazzling array of formats, and not everyone has area codes. So don't use that stupid feature in CF to format a field as a phone number field. You're locking non-Canadian and non-US customers out of that field. Not everyone has 7 character phone numbers. Some have 5, some have 10, some have numbers in between. (5) Don't use seasons to describe time. It's common for American companies to talk about something being released next spring for example. But not all countries have 4 seasons. In the tropics they only have two seasons (Hong Kong, South East Asia, North of Australia, Central America for example). And anyway when we see this expression here in Australia, we often think which 'spring' is it referring to - is it ours or theirs? Summer in these parts is December-March. And similarly don't use terms like 1QR or Quarter 2. The financial year in Australia begins on 1 July. IN New Zealand it beings 1. April. Different times in other countries. So does the term beginning of 2Qtr mean April, (i.e. beginning of the second calendar quarter) or September (beginning of second financial quarter in Australia) or June (beginning of second financial quarter in New Zealand) etc etc around the world. Don't be lazy, use the month names and everyone will know what you mean. (6) Despite the prevalence of the US Dollar, not everyone wants to deal in that currency, and anyway, it can be very expensive to convert local currency to US. (It costs AUD$15 to bank a US cheque in a Australian bank account for example ) So provide for some way for your customers to pay you in local currency. Or make it easy for them to convert. (7) Remember that when you send your data across the Atlantic, or the Pacific Oceans it might well travel 70,000 km before it arrives at the user's browser. (35,000 up to a satellite and 35,000 down again) So don't put huge files in your site - big graphics etc - just because it runs fast in your home town, doesn't mean it's going to run fast half a world away. Will your prospective customers in Europe and Asia wait to download that fancy flash page that you love but which does nothing at all for the customer? (8) I once tried to download some software from a major international company (who will remain nameless but recently announced a merger with Compaq) where the registration form had a compulsory field that required a social security number for pete's sake. The product was a printer driver - not a US specific piece of software, but for general release around the world. The moron who designed that page hadn't thought for a moment that there might just be people in the world who didn't have US social security numbers. (Like for example ALL of the non-US residents!!) I had to make up a social security number, and tinker around with numbers until I invented one the form liked. I also had to invent an address because it had a 5 character compulsory zip code so I just took an address from a company's ad in a magazine. And this is without even touching the idea of language choices. It's common in Europe and Asia for sites to be built in several languages and you choose on the home page which language you want to see. This is costly and duplicates effort to translate your site into other languages, but how many other customers will you get if you do the translation? These are just some random thoughts. I know you were thinking about CF's Locale setting and similar matters, but perhaps these more general thoughts might help you too.

But, for reasons of time and cost, the rewrite seldom is done,,, The translated application takes on a life of its own, and we have a bunch of manufactured code that is largely uncommented (or carries over cf comments that have limited meaning in ASP).

Y2K was a recent example. An alternative would be to write an ASP (or php, or whatever) program that reads CF templates and emulates them in the target language... at least you preserve the readability maintainability of the CF code.

One could even say that it is what ASP did for [whatever language ASP was written in too]. One could even say that the Windows API does this for Assembler Language. etc.. etc.. etc..

Re: Defroster
For a very good reason. To create the system I described is simple to do and the results will be just that; simple. To have a true integration of technologies, especially when one of them is a technology to make coding easier (CF), takes time and effort. In the long run it pays off handsomely. CF MX (already mentioned under that name in press releases) is not just CF slapped over Java but a true easy to use 'portal' into Java. It's going to (and does) rock. Conceptually, this is not hard. Implementation is not trivial, though (NEO has been in the works for over 2 years). -- Jeffry Houser | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Need a Web Developer? Contact me!

If MM can truly provide a 'portal' into Java (programming and facilities) and, at the same time, hide the complexity... then they will have really accomplished something notable! It would be analogous to server-side programming what Swing has done for the Java GUI. Sigh... I wish there were a comparable 'portal' for stand-alone (desktop) Java programming. What does the MX in CF MX and Flash MX stand for? Seriously! TIA Dick P.S.

HTML within forms - specifically a textarea tag within a textarea element!
Hello, I have a text area form element which allows a user to enter html. If they enter a textarea tag within their html, and the form is then shown pre-populated with their data (which contains the textarea/textarea tags), my textarea ends when it encounters THEIR end textarea tag! I can't simple use htmlencoded because this would submit incorrectly formatted html data with the form. Has any one had this problem before? Should I simply treat the textarea as a special character and replace it when displayed with the htmlencoded equivalent. Or is there a solution which would catch all html tag related issues within a textarea display? Did that make sense? :) Brook __ Your ad could be here.

OT: database design question re:product price changes
Hi I have a table which holds orders. The productid and the quantity of items purchased are held in this table amongst other things such as the order date, customer id etc. Orders are calculated by getting the product cost and multiplying it by quantity. Its occured to me that if the price of items changes,because the total of an order is always calculated the order total for previous orders will change. IS there any better way to store orders and price info or should I also store the current price of each product when the order is made in the order table - wouldn't this lead to data being duplicated?

Re: OT: database design question re:product price changes
You conceptually have 2 different prices 1 The Current Price usually stored in the Product File 2 The Order price (The Current Price when this order was filled) usually stored in an order item file along with Qty (extended Item Amount Optional) 1. is a status field and can change at any time 2. Is a history field and Never changes * + Order adjustment transactions (separate transactions) are used to correct errors in 2 (and preserve an audit trail) If you store completed orders in the DB the order items should carry price 2 HTH Dick On Sunday, March 31, 2002, at 04:38 PM, Kola Oyedeji wrote: Hi I have a table which holds orders.

Re: Help With Query

You'll need to change that query slightly to pull your count out... First line should be: Select count(t.id) as FishCount,...

Each Fishs as a category, Subcategory and unique ID. I have Lookups for the Category and SubCategory. I think this aprt is fine. 2. TANKS - Stores Tanks by Owner. TankID is unique. I think this is OK. 3. FISHINV - Stroes 1 record for each fish added. Example if I add 3 Goldfish it will contain three records with essentially the same information.This may be bad. Now , I'd like to query FISHINV to output for example: 3 GoldFish 5 Yellows Labs 3 Cobalt Blues I should be able to remove any qty of a specific fish. Thanks for your answer.
