Re: Content Management
Isaac, we implement every site we do using a CMS of our own design. It's better for the clients, but it's also easier and faster for us! I think there's definitely a market for it, but often you have to create it as you go by explaining the benefits etc. We are just starting to license it to other developers but finding quite substantial support issues with that. Our CMS is targetted at smaller businesses but we are planning to split it into an easy to use small business version and a sophisticated enterprise version later this year. I think a lot of developers can see the potential, but few have the time or skills to build their own. So, yeah I think they've got a good future. - Original Message - From: S.

That was CF 3.0 just before Allaire's second wind. :) I'm curious to know what members of the list think about the subject of content management or CMS. Do your clients often ask for tools to allow their not-so-technical staff to update their own websites? and if so, how do you address the issue? Do you build something for them in-house, figure out what their requirements are and offer them a list of existing solutions or just tell them their best bet is to hire more web staff? ... Do you have a preferred package and if so which and why? How many of you still have active client sites on Spectra? Admittedly I have an ulterior motive. :) Over the past 3 years I developed a content management system myself which you can see at http://products.turnkey.to and I'm now trying to make a serious effort at marketing, so any feedback is greatly appreciated.

RE: ColdFusion Microsoft Exchange Server
Okay, heres the problem/situation Network Location 1 : ColdFusion Application Server Network Location 2 : Microsoft Exchange Server Whats the deal with connecting these two together (and I have been to cfcomet, there is nothing ;-). Since they are over a network whats the deal with cfobject and connecting to Microsoft Exchange server? The goal is to allow multiple users to have web access to their calendar without the Outlook Web Interface. You can connect via COM to Exchange using the CDO library. There's lots of information about CDO on MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/). There's also a good book covering CDO from ASP, called ADSI CDO ASP, from Wrox Press. CDO is the interface that the Outlook Web Access application uses, I'm sure. Unfortunately, I don't know how easy this'll be from CF, since CF does such a bad job with COM in general and with MS-specific interfaces like CDO and ADSI in particular. I found it extremely difficult to work with ADSI from CF, compared with ASP. Also, if you're using CF 5, you can use the CFIMPERSONATE tag to wrap your CDO calls so that you can impersonate a specific Exchange user, but there's no equivalent in CF MX, which is kind of a bummer. Note that CFIMPERSONATE requires that you run the CF server as SYSTEM. What don't you just VPN the two networks together into a single virtual network, so that you don't have these issues? While I agree that this would be a good idea if they're not already on the same network, this won't solve the programmatic problem of how to get CF to talk to Exchange.

CF and PayPal
Hi everyone. I have a shopping cart on a clients website and he would like to use paypal to process the final transaction. The entire cart is stored on the website, and he wishes to use just paypal for the payment regardless of how many items are in the cart, etc... Now, can this be done? Is there an API that I can use to do this? Has anyone made any custom tags for this? Basically, I would hope Paypal would return some kind of status and if the transaction went through I would record the order and send the order to the guy making the items, etc... anyone have any thoughts or comments. This has to be low budget, and that is why paypal is an options. I am open to other alternatives but the transaction fees need to be around paypal's (30 cents per transaction and 2.2% of total).

First was balancing local control / divisional control of content to corporate branding and quality standards and the second was a usability issue with delivering the right content to the right employees and customers. While they were somewhat aware of the issues, I had to clarify it for them and make the business case for what should come first and second. As it turned out, managing the content creation process was the first issue they had to solve. Cleaning up old and conflicting pages and presentation styles was a huge issue. This had to be accomplished keeping in mind what was likely to be a significant move to dynamic content next. Another client, a large insurance company, had focused on relatively fixed content versus transactional information matched to dynamic content. I helped them understand the interdependencies and created the need for an entirely different infrastructure to support the new integration requirements. Bottom line, they need you to help them articulate their issues first, then help them solve them with the appropriate solutions. If you wait for them to deliver clearly defined requirements (which never really happens) you end up being looked at as a commodity versus a value added partner. Andy -Original Message- From: S.

Re: CF and PayPal
I have a shopping cart on a clients website and he would like to use paypal to process the final transaction. Ok.. first off, be prepared for a number of flames on this, as many people hate PayPal for various reasons. I personally have no problem with them, so here we go... 1. Once the user submits the order, you will need to store it and flag it as in process somehow. 2. You will need to use one of PayPal's wizards through their web site to setup a sample multiple-item purchase. You can then use that sample data to build the URL you will end up sending the users to for payment. 3. PayPal has a fairly new feature called Instant Payment Notification. This is setup on the PayPal account and basically will post a form to a URL you specify. This should be a special processing page on your server that will flag the specified order as paid then notify the client, etc. It will also need to post some information back to PayPal for tracking purposes. Most of the info you will need can be found at: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/pdn/paypal-solutions You will need to be logged in to access that link directly. If you don't feel like building everything yourself, take a look at the developer's exchange. There are a few existing PayPal custom tags that will handle everything, but they all required registration the last time I looked.

CFMX / XML [2]
So, to answer my own questions, when you create an XML Object via XMLNew() the reason why XMLParse fails is because that's the parsed XML Object already. To transform that XML Object so something else, you need to use XMLTransform() and you need an XSLT object to transform that before it can be written to an .xml file. Looking into XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation) objects atm. Hope this is useful for someone. ~Todd - Todd Rafferty ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.web-rat.com/ Team Macromedia Volunteer for ColdFusion http://www.macromedia.com/support/forums/team_macromedia/ Moderator @ FlashCFM.com http://www.flashCFM.com/ Back-end Moderator @ Ultrashock.com http://www.ultrashock.com/ __ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

RE: Content Management
Isaac, I was pretty heavily involved at Allaire with Spectra (I was a field based consultant specializing in Spectra). I think that one of the issues with buying pre written packages (like Tapestry) is figuring out how to use them. For instance is Tapestry a full stand-alone application generator-creator that will drive the whole of a web application front-end and back-end (like Spectra) or is something that can be integrated into an existing web application as a back end content management tool, or is it both? Another issue in marketing and selling Tapestry directly to organizations is the aspect of installing managing-administering ColdFusion. I tend to think that it would be good to find a marketing angle by selling through existing CF Houses who then have the abilities and client relationships to amplify and adapt what you have already done for their clients. Just my thoughts and opinions, good luck anyhow.

That led the convention's organizer to move the candy dispenser collectors' convention to Town and Country. Pez candy dispenser collectors moved their annual convention this weekend from Frontenac to Town and Country after an undercover police officer busted a teen who sold a $3 item without a merchant's license. A Frontenac police detective wandered into a room at the Frontenac Hilton on Thursday and bought a Star Wars Pez candy dispenser from 18-year-old Seth Weinberg of Columbia, Mo. About an hour later, the officer returned to issue Weinberg a court summons. Dozens of other dealers were not cited. I didn't invite this guy into my room to buy Pez. He just came in, Weinberg said. City officials said anyone selling merchandise in Frontenac must apply for a itinerant merchant license 30 days before the sale. The process gives police an opportunity to check the background of a vendor before the public buys wares. It doesn't matter what they are selling - diamond rings or Pez dispensers, said City Attorney Chet Pleban. We want to make sure everyone follows the law, and we know who comes into our town. John Devlin, who founded the convention 10 years ago, said he never needed a license when he hosted the event in the St. Louis area in the past. Devlin, of south St. Louis County, said the hotel event coordinator never mentioned it. He said he heard about the ordinance about three weeks before the convention. By then, he said, he didn't have time to apply. Instead, Devlin decided to move the event to the St. Louis Marriott West hotel in Town and Country after the incident Thursday. Town and Country does not put the same restrictions on vendors. The Pez show, open to the public from 10:30 to 2 p.m. today, will be squeezed into the Marriott West ballroom, which is one-third the size of the planned space. More than 200 people from across the country registered for the event. Organizers expected several hundred more to stop in. Weinberg must return to Frontenac July 17 to appear in court on his violation. I know the police are doing their job, he said. But I'm sure there has got to be something better they can be doing than busting people selling Pez. __ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm 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

Devlin, of south St. Louis County, said the hotel event coordinator never mentioned it. He said he heard about the ordinance about three weeks before the convention. By then, he said, he didn't have time to apply. Instead, Devlin decided to move the event to the St. Louis Marriott West hotel in Town and Country after the incident Thursday. Town and Country does not put the same restrictions on vendors. The Pez show, open to the public from 10:30 to 2 p.m. today, will be squeezed into the Marriott West ballroom, which is one-third the size of the planned space. More than 200 people from across the country registered for the event. Organizers expected several hundred more to stop in. Weinberg must return to Frontenac July 17 to appear in court on his violation. I know the police are doing their job, he said. But I'm sure there has got to be something better they can be doing than busting people selling Pez. __ 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

I know how to backup each one, but was wondering if there is a bulk backup of the entire server. There are a couple of options that might work for you. If this is a one-time thing, and you can stop the source database server, you can simply copy the database and log files to the new server, and use sp_attach_db to attach each to the new server. Alternatively, you can use T-SQL to automate the backup and restore process; on the source database server, run the BACKUP DATABASE command through any database. OSQL is a handy command-line client for doing this sort of stuff. Since you want to backup the entire server, you'll probably want to write a T-SQL batch to query the master database to find out about each database, then loop over that information.

RE: OT SQL SERVER Backup
To backup all databases use a database maintenance plan to backup them up to the local server then have it run a script on completion to copy the files to the other server then when that job is finished have it run the restore of the databases.

RE: Content Management
Content Management, like Customer Relationship Management, tends to be used to mean different things to different people I think I tend to agree ... Even a cursory glance at the CM products landscape is enough to make some people's heads spin with the incredible variances in both features and means. Compare something like CommonSpot or Spectra to one CM product I saw which submits rich text content from MS Word for inclusion in a predesigned html template using _SMTP_ from _within_ MS Word. The means in these cases are so radically different as to near completely eliminate the possibility of similarity in features. Though in either case they may achieve many of the same ends : business users publishing content and boosting production or reducing maintenance costs or some combination. and many clients don't understand which aspect is important to them and why. This makes a lot of sense actually... Bottom line, they need you to help them articulate their issues first, then help them solve them with the appropriate solutions. If you wait for them to deliver clearly defined requirements (which never really happens) you end up being looked at as a commodity versus a value added partner. Thanks Andy, this rather confirms my suspicions. It's often a lot easier to see a problem than it is to see possible solutions, i.e. it's easy enough to browse a website and realize that navigation is confusing or information is difficult to find. Solutions for that problem may not be as readily apparent, and likely in most cases a business person tasked with finding such a solution won't expect to be able to save their company money in the long-run by implementing that solution either. At least I imagine I would consider it somewhat counterintuitive if I were not already involved in the dynamic content industry. This also helps me understand how and where I should be focussing my efforts at this stage. Isaac www.turnkey.to 954-776-0046 __ Your ad could be here.

There's more of an up-front cost to CommonSpot than Spectra ($25k vs #15k, I think) but the total cost to deploy a CommonSpot solution is typically a fraction of that to deliver a similar Spectra solution. But yes, you're right - CMS products span a pretty wide range.

RE: Content Management
I was pretty heavily involved at Allaire with Spectra (I was a field based consultant specializing in Spectra). Good to know. :) I think that one of the issues with buying pre written packages (like Tapestry) is figuring out how to use them. Yea, I've not been surprised that my research has shown a lot of emphasis on the learning-curve of packaged management systems, although, even if you build something in-house, you still have to get everyone on-board, so I wouldn't say that's an advantage to building in-house as much as is the ability to _completely_ control the cm environment from the ground up to suit your own business specifically. The new member form on my site has a very simple (and completely non-scientific) feature survey where new members just check the boxes for the features they look for in a cms... and although most folks ignore the survey all-together, the breakdown is interresting: 26 template customization 22 workflow management 19 automated content expiration 19 easy to use 16 member roles and security 15 source and version control 10 content archiving and recovery .. I suspect easy to use may be more important than indicated -- but then again, it's not really a feature per-se, it's more of a quality and difficult to define at that... Until recently I hadn't wanted to put fast or easy to use in my marketing materials, but I changed my mind about that actually because of the feedback I've received from a few early users. :) All of this is since the release of version 4 mind you, which involved some significant improvements to both the UI and performance, largely thanks to several new features in CF 5. For instance is Tapestry a full stand-alone application generator-creator that will drive the whole of a web application front-end and back-end (like Spectra) or is something that can be integrated into an existing web application as a back end content management tool, or is it both? Tapestry is capable of being as little or as much of the front and/or back-end as you want it to be really... All of the content types are simple OO classes with their own properties and methods (or behaviors), so with a little work you can make them do anything you need them to do. The OO implementation is fairly simple and lacks some of the subtler points of languages like Java such as listener classes and the like, but it manages to allow derived classes which inherit methods and properties from parent classes. None of which even mentions the add / remove components wizard which is a model of the Windows programs wizard, designed to allow for reasonably painless upgrading and/or adding / removing component features, ideally without overwriting any of the existing codebase. As a matter of fact, neither of the add-on components I've developed overwrite a single line of the core API and if my software developers kit does its job well, neither will most of the components written by other developers. Of course, I still have to produce the SDK but I'm trying to generate more interrest first. There also won't be any licensing fees for developers who want to create add-on components, so I'm sure free and open-source components for the most popular features will become available. Another issue in marketing and selling Tapestry directly to organizations is the aspect of installing managing-administering ColdFusion. I tend to think that it would be good to find a marketing angle by selling through existing CF Houses who then have the abilities and client relationships to amplify and adapt what you have already done for their clients. Thank you. The thought had occurred to me also, but it's good to have the second opinion. :) Actually there are two ColdFusion hosting companies currently considering using Tapestry as an ASP service... I won't mention names because in both cases we're still ironing out details and I wouldn't want to predisclose anything without their consent and likely a press release. Just my thoughts and opinions, good luck anyhow. Thanks Mike, I really appreciate the feedback.

I've (unfortunately?) had little exposure to Spectra and was making the comparison between the two as both being browser-based (?) solutions as compared to the afforementioned -- what do I even call that?! ... Though you make an excellent point. And this is with two companies who primarily shared the market of ColdFusion shops, not even scratching the surface of other industry or user-type focused products, like CMS which target print media companies like newspapers and magazines or CMS that focus on corporate intranets or CMS which target small businesses and bank on volume. And often times all of these variations only help to confuse rather than clarify the environment in which CM packages are bought and sold ... imho when you're shopping for a reasonably new technology (5yrs? 10yrs?) is about the worst time in the world for this sort of confusion (or for that matter when I'm trying to sell it -- how do I define my target audience? etc.), though I suppose this is liable to be the state of things in the forseeable future... I guess it keeps me busy. :) Isaac www.turnkey.to 954-776-0046 __ 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
