WAY OT: Printing a form field with javascript

2003-01-13 Thread Bud
Hi all. Sorry for the OT post. I've been searching and cannot find an 
answer, and I'm not a javascript guru by any stretch.

I'm showing a long block of text in a textarea field. I'd like the 
user to be able to click a button and print only what is in that 
field. I'd prefer to do it without opening a new window, but if I 
have to I have to.

Thanks a bunch.

I am having a really weird problem... I do some calculations in CF, they

The first thing I'd check is what the value of toolsviewnum is. If 
it's blank, then that will cause the error. I couldn't see from your 
code where that value is being set.

If that value is being pulled from a database, that may be why it 
works on the dev box and not on the host's server. Maybe the data is 
different in the test database. :)

RE: URL Scope

2003-01-13 Thread Dowdell, Jason G
I wouldn't suggest client variables, nor any other type
of session variable.  Instead, once you complete your
error checking on the action page you'll set a flag to
true if there are any errors.  I usually set Request.ErrorInd = 1
when there are errors encountered.  Then check the value
of Request.ErrorInd and if it's 1 you'll cfmodule the
form.  Be sure to use cfabort after the cfmodule though.
This way all of your form scoped variables still exist and
can populate the form fields and you don't have a messy
url.

I can give you more details on how to accomplish this if
you're interested.

Subject: Re: URL Scope


Cool, thanks.

The reason I posted was this:

I have a form which is created dynamically, I want to fill the form with all
of the information that the user has correctly filled in if any errors
occur.
The form basically contains attributes for files that have been submitted to
the admin. The admin then has some options to fill in (who to send file
too...).
There can be 1 file, 10 files, 20 files described in this form. The admin
can fill in information for 1 file at a time if he wishes, so form
validation like required=yes cannot be used.

So on the template that recieves the form information, I check for errors,
if there are any I had thought of sending all of the information back
through URL.
Sometimes, there could be much. I thought there might be a problem.

Would you suggest client variables for this?

TIA,

Yves

 yves,

 i ran into that issue, when i was sending color
 variations, in hex to various pages for lines
 of reports, i simply store them in client variables
 and now hardly even have to use url variables, storing
 client vars in a db, and referencing them through cfid
 calls to match the values in the db, makes life sooo much
 easier, check them out!

There is a limit to the amount of data that can be passed through
a url in NS and it's 2k.  That number was from v.4 so I don't know
if it's still true.  I've never passed that much data through the 
url so I don't really know.

Design Pattern Question

2003-01-13 Thread Benoit Hediard
Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the positive feedbacks on benorama.com ColdFusion content.

The articles I've put online are a set of Best practices and general design 
techniques that I daily used for advanced CFMX application development (in our 
company, a collaborative plate-form).

They are certainly not perfect (it is not 100% MVC on the controller part) but they 
work very well.

The idea is that you can take whatever you like and adapt them to your needs.


I should add some more details on my use of CFCs, but I haven't updated the site since 
august 2002...
For the moment, here it is on CF-Talk.

I usually create :
- Entity CFCs that correspond to physical persistent entity (usually a single row in 
one or several database tables).
they inherits from a base Entity.cfc with init and getProperties methods,
they usually have at least load, create, store and remove methods,
Ex. : 
cfscript
newsEntityInstance = createObject(component,com.mycompany.news.NewsEntity);
newsEntityInstance.load(1011);
newsEntityInstance.title = I have changed the title;
// or newsEntityInstance.setTitle(I have changed the title); // if you 
create setter/getter functions for each properties
newsEntityInstance.store();
/cfscript
   
- Utility CFCs that encapsulate generic business logic and are not persistent and 
stateless.
Ex. :
cfscript
newsUtility = createObject(component,com.mycompany.news.NewsUtility);
lastNewsRecordSet = newsUtility.getLastNews();
/cfscript

- Session CFCs that act as a facade to handle the client session (statefull).
Ex. :
!--- use the com.mycompany.member.MemberSession CFC put in session scope ---
cfif session.currentMember.hasTheRightToDoThat()
...
/cfif

This is how I use CFCs for a 100% ColdFusion-based application, but if you have good 
J2EE skills in your team and if it is required, you might replace those CFCs by EJBs 
(with all their pros and cons...).


Last month, I also spent some time to try to establish methodologies/best practices 
for complex Flash MX application development : how to nicely apply MVC to Flash MX and 
Flash remoting.

Right now, I used facade CFCs on the server side and ActionScript proxy class on the 
client side, encapsulated in Flash components. 

Each Flash components correspond more or less to a CF pagelet.
But Flash components are not only a View with some Model calls to get content, 
they integrate the full MVC pattern and use at least four ActionScript class (per 
component) :
- a View class that dynamically display the content and set the layout,
- a Model class to hold the data of the component,
- a Controller class (the Broadcaster class based on the events listener/broadcaster 
mechanism),
- a Service class to call the server components through one or several facade CFCs 
(the only CFCs with a remote access),
- the main component class that contains and uses all those classes.

But I am still not completely happy with that (pretty complex to develop and to 
maintain). 
I am going to re-work on it when I'll have sometimes during the following months.
As soon as I have got something more clear and elegant, I'll put in online in the 
Flash section of benorama.com.

Any feedbacks or suggestions on all those stuffs (ColdFusion or Flash) are welcome!

SQL Join - Help!

2003-01-13 Thread Bosky, Dave
I'm trying to look up the department name and group description using their
ID's.
But it only returns the records where it finds both department and group
descriptions. Some records don't have
a group description or department name. I believe I'm using the wrong type
of join but I'm stumped.
Any ideas or better ways of accomplishing this query.

example:
---
SELECT  A.DepartmentID, A.AdminName, A.GroupID, B.DepartmentName,
C.Description
FROM DeptAdmin A
INNER JOIN Dept B ON A.DepartmentID = B.DepartmentID
INNER JOIN DeptGroups C ON A.GroupID = C.GroupID

Right. But VMWare let's you install *lots* of OS's -- most *nix, most Win,
even Solaris if you're a glutton for install punishment. With VMWare, you
could run a virtual Win2k Server instance on your Mac and use it for the db

Re: Crystal Reports

2003-01-13 Thread John Paul Ashenfelter
This came up in the past couple weeks. As I remember the summary:

The COM component (.ocx) that ships with Crystal 8.x and 9 may or may not
work under CFMX. The Java-COM bridge can be problematic. But there is a Java
wrapper (which I can verify that ships with CR 8.5 at least) that will let
you manipulate Crystal reports as you would the COM object.

(CFIdCFToken, refererURL, IP, Browser, Promo)
VALUES  ('#cookie.CFID#:#cookie.CFToken#', '#cgi.http_referer#',
'#cgi.REMOTE_ADDR#', '#cgi.HTTP_USER_AGENT#', '#promo#')
/CFQUERY
/cfif

As you can see above we insert the referer from outside sources into a
database table.

We also use the variable promo for URLs that come from Paid advertising so
we can track it.  Then upon registration we do an update of this table based
off the user's CFID:CFTOKEN.  Is this a perfect way?  NO, but it does give
us some great metrics to know how much each registered user costs us.

Hope this helps,

Jeremy

Apostrophes become boxes and other odd characters in CFMX?

2003-01-13 Thread Cameron Childress
After upgrading an application from CF5 to CFMX, I have run into a situation
where some apostrophes and quote marks are being transformed into weird
boxes and other strange characters.  This only seems to happen when users
cut/paste text from word, and not when they type it directly into the text
form fields.  I have a feeling that this has something to do with the JDBC
drivers, but wanted to ask the list first in case anyone else has run into
this problem.

CFMX + SQL Server on WinNT...

Thanks!

RE: Unix database syntactically similar to SQL Server?

2003-01-13 Thread Roberson, Jeff, Mr (Contractor) ACI
If you use ANSI standard syntax it works on most with little changes...

If you program in Transact (MS Only) or SQL+ (ORACLE only) you will have
some issues.

I tend to use the LEFT OUTER JOIN  and INNER JOIN syntax and it works well
through mySQl, MSSQL, and ORACLE 9i

Need insights into best high load CFMX install

2003-01-13 Thread Mike Brunt
Hello, we are about to start a contract for a large eCommerce application
and can recommend to our client what optimal configuration is needed.  They
have never used CFMX but are big on ColdFusion 50.  The nature of this new
application is a “skinned” eCommerce engine where around 70 different web
sites will run off the same codebase/engine.

This will be a high demand app so I would like to get any feedback as to
what you think is the best CFMX set up for this situation.  It looks like
Macromedia are touting CFMX on J-Run as a good combination and I read the
recent article on MM’s Website and although some of you pointed out the
Linux improvements it looks like CFMX
J-Run on Win 2k was the best performer.  Thanks for any insights.

SQL7 DB Update Procedure

2003-01-13 Thread paul smith
The on-line database of listings, etc, at www.SMARTERYellowpages.com , 
Biz1, is read-only in normal operation.

The off-line database, Biz2, is not read-only in normal operation, and it 
is currently updated daily on a backup machine, including automatic backup, 
and updating of full-text indexes (SQL7). It's backup is used to update 
Biz1.  Since the 2 databases are on different machines, they can and do 
have the same name.  Updating of Biz1 is a simple restore using the most 
recent Biz2 backup, followed by updating the full-text index.

Is there a way to have Biz1  Biz2 on the same machine, and:

To update Biz1, switch Biz2 to read-only.
Switch www.SMARTERyellwpages.com to read from Biz2 instead of Biz1
Update Biz1 using the latest backup of Biz2.  I haven't tried this but I 
wonder how to work around the difference DB names - or even if the name 
difference matters.

best,  paul

Re: HELP!!!! jrun-resources.xml

2003-01-13 Thread John Paul Ashenfelter
jrun-resource.xml is where the information about the database is stored when
you config it in the CF Admin. I'd verify that all the connection data there
is correct, but I'd also try creating a new datasource that point to the
same place through CF -- that way you know whether it's this particular
entry or *all* connections to SQL 2000. I'm guessing it's all connections to
SQL2000.

You'd get the same sort of message if you simply erased info out of that xml
config file. Having trouble guessing how an upgrade could have done that so
you're probably dealing with something more annoying.

Could you have done something like change the default connection method in
sql server (e.g. from named pipes to TCP or vice-versa)? I've been running
SQL2000 sp2 w/ the .669 cumulative patch/hotfix and can connect using CFMX
just fine, but I had patched the SQL servers before the CFMX even rolled
out. I can't remember precisely what the upgrade from SQL2k (or sp1) to sp2
did. But if it's only one web server, the the win server patch is where you
need to look. bleah.

You might try changing over to TCP connections as a test (assuming you're
using named pipes) or vice-versa to verify whether the problem is in the
connection method itself or something more subtle.

Tony,

Could this problem be related to case sensitivity?? Maybe if you changed
the datasource in your templates to Platypus MX would recognize it.

jrun-resource.xml is where the information about the database is stored
when
you config it in the CF Admin. I'd verify that all the connection data
there
is correct, but I'd also try creating a new datasource that point to the
same place through CF -- that way you know whether it's this particular
entry or *all* connections to SQL 2000. I'm guessing it's all
connections to
SQL2000.

You'd get the same sort of message if you simply erased info out of that
xml
config file. Having trouble guessing how an upgrade could have done that
so
you're probably dealing with something more annoying.

Could you have done something like change the default connection method
in
sql server (e.g. from named pipes to TCP or vice-versa)? I've been
running
SQL2000 sp2 w/ the .669 cumulative patch/hotfix and can connect using
CFMX
just fine, but I had patched the SQL servers before the CFMX even rolled
out. I can't remember precisely what the upgrade from SQL2k (or sp1) to
sp2
did. But if it's only one web server, the the win server patch is where
you
need to look. bleah.

You might try changing over to TCP connections as a test (assuming
you're
using named pipes) or vice-versa to verify whether the problem is in the
connection method itself or something more subtle.

 I had the same issue and it was a character set issue.  Here is
 the code that
 I used to fix my application:

 cfprocessingdirective pageencoding=iso-8859-1
 cfset setEncoding(form,iso-8859-1)
 cfset setEncoding(URL,iso-8859-1)
 cfcontent type=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

 Another discussion about character sets:

 Chris White

 Unfortunately, This was a straight upgrade from CF5 to CFMX and I haven't
 changed anything about the way it handles char encoding.  I am
 playing with it
 some now, but do you have an example of the things I might need to change,
 tags/etc to get this to work?

  Quoting Cameron Childress [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
  
   After upgrading an application from CF5 to CFMX, I have run into a
   situation where some apostrophes and quote marks are being
   transformed into weird boxes and other strange characters.  This
   only seems to happen
  when users
   cut/paste text from word, and not when they type it directly
  into the text
   form fields.  I have a feeling that this has something to do
  with the JDBC
   drivers, but wanted to ask the list first in case anyone else
  has run into
   this problem.
 
  I have a feeling it has to do with charsets. Are you explicitly
  specifying the charset everywhere? Have you taken advantage of the
  upgrade and switched to
  unicode in the process?

Emulators/VMWare for Mac (WAS: Re: Unix database syntactically similar to SQL Server?)

2003-01-13 Thread John Paul Ashenfelter
Requirements for VMWare (for Linux) are remarkable low, but you need a *lot*
of memory, decent disk space, and solid processor. I run Linux and Windows
emulations under Windows 2000 with 512MB and PIII/500 -- but like it better
on the P4 1+ GHz and 1 GB RAM.

Did a little research and not a solution (obviously) for Mac. Looks like x86
architecture is part of the lowlevel emulation -- not that I know anything
about hardware emulation in software :)

You can also run virtualPC with windows for mac to get the SQL server

Subject: Emulators/VMWare for Mac (WAS: Re: Unix database syntactically
similar to SQL Server?)


Requirements for VMWare (for Linux) are remarkable low, but you need a
*lot* of memory, decent disk space, and solid processor. I run Linux and
Windows emulations under Windows 2000 with 512MB and PIII/500 -- but
like it better on the P4 1+ GHz and 1 GB RAM.

Did a little research and not a solution (obviously) for Mac. Looks like
x86 architecture is part of the lowlevel emulation -- not that I know
anything about hardware emulation in software :)

  VirtualPC emulates a PC and runs on OS X.

 Right. But VMWare let's you install *lots* of OS's -- most *nix, most 
 Win, even Solaris if you're a glutton for install punishment. With 
 VMWare, you could run a virtual Win2k Server instance on your Mac and 
 use it for the db part of the development.

After the cfoutput kicks out 4 records I need a new tr/tr to be

I'm setting up authentication against a database, and I have the 
form
data going to a seperate page that I want users not to see (just a
preference of mine)...Once the page is done processing, I want to 
push
the users off to a different page...How do I do that?  Are there

Look into the CFLOCATION tag.  It does exactly what you're looking for
(redirection).

Scott,

Some folks use the CFLOCATION tag for this redirect. I found a conflict 
with using this in the same page with an input of type=file. I prefer 
to use a little js on this

script

location.href('mypage.cfm');
/script

Re: Emulators/VMWare for Mac (WAS: Re: Unix database syntacticall y similar to SQL Server?)

2003-01-13 Thread John Paul Ashenfelter
SQL Server has bcp, which let's you dump tables with a fair degree of
control over format -- I'd bet Sybase has something similar.

Or you could use DTS in MSSQL to do an export to Sybase.

Both of those save writing queries :)

 Requirements for VMWare (for Linux) are remarkable low, but you need a
 *lot* of memory, decent disk space, and solid processor. I run Linux and
 Windows emulations under Windows 2000 with 512MB and PIII/500 -- but
 like it better on the P4 1+ GHz and 1 GB RAM.

 Did a little research and not a solution (obviously) for Mac. Looks like
 x86 architecture is part of the lowlevel emulation -- not that I know
 anything about hardware emulation in software :)

Re: How can I redirect a user?

2003-01-13 Thread Bruce Sorge
There are several login tags available, but the best way is to just have a
page that loggs the user in. I normally use a page called Login.cfm. All
this page does is, checks the users information that they posted on the
login form against the database, and if they are valid, I set some
application level variables and the like, then redirect them to the
appropriate page. If they do not have a account or did not enter their
infrmation correctly, they are redirected to the login page with a message
of what they did wrong.


So for instance, the code could look like this:

Validate the user againstthe database

cfquery datasource=#Application.DSN# Name=qry_CheckUser
Select Fname, Lname, UserID, Password
From Users
Where #TRIM(Users.UserID = Form.UserID)# AND #TRIM(Password =
Form.Password)
/cfquery

Check to see if the information is valid

cfif (qry_CheckUser.Recordcount) IS 1
set application, session or client variables here and redirect them with
cflocation

cfelse
Set error message to display and send them back to the login page displaying
the error message.

/cfif

This is a very simplified login routine. Like I said, there are several out
there on the Developers Exchange. Just do a search for Login.

SmartCard Enabled Websites?

2003-01-13 Thread Joshua Miller
Is it possible to SmartCard enable a website? I've got a customer
requiring that we support SmartCard devices - I was under the impression
SmartCard website authentication happened at the workstation level using
software to control user access to specific sites. Is this not the case?
Is there actual code to integrate into an application to make it
SmartCard aware?

Re: HELP!!!! jrun-resources.xml

2003-01-13 Thread John Paul Ashenfelter
Are you using NTAuth or SQL auth to get in?

As a quick test, create a datasource that uses the sa -- that verifies that
SQL Auth is working correctly and the db is accessible. Then try connecting
using NTAuth with whatever account you personally use to connect to the
database (through things like Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer).

That login \ usually means something is messed up with NTAuth.

Another quick check, you can do an admin-level share between the web server
to the sql box using an account with sql permissions -- that will handle a
bad set of credentials.

Note that none of these are long-term solutions -- just ways to
check/address the connectivity -- you want to isolate problem and of course
fix it -- leaving CF connecting as SA can be bad news!

on the server that is running my cfmx, I can make
an odbc connection from windows to the other server
that is running the sql server, test the datasource
and all is well.  the sql server is setup for mixed mode
auth, and I am using a user/pass that I have and can
verify.

Connection verification failed for data source: Platypus
[]java.sql.SQLException: SQLException occurred in JDBCPool while
attempting to connect: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer
JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Login failed for user 'platypus_admin'. Reason:

JDBCPool while attempting to connect: java.sql.SQLException:
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Login failed for user
'platypus_admin'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server
connection..

is now the error I am gettingsome trusted server bs,
that wasn't there just 12 hours ago before we made the
changes!!

so its like, nothing make sense.  the cfmx server connects to other
db's, the only diff is that the other sql servers are sql2000 not sql7
and of course, that they are on different machines.  what in the heck
could this possibly be? this is really making no effing sense!!

oh, and no matter what dsn or datasource or user/pass combo I try
nothing to that machine comes out ok, I get the same error regardless
of the datasource name, etc...i have tried this from 2 production
servers
and 2 development machines, all to no availand the same error, the 2
dev 
servers have cfmx updater 2, the production servers have cfmx updater 1,
so its
not that either.

any ideas?

Set a number (cfset count = 1) and increment it every time the query runs.
Every time the number is equal to 4, set it back to 1 and output a /trtr
Hope that makes sense, too lazy to write code!

RE: How can I redirect a user?

2003-01-13 Thread Robert Bailey
Yeah, with MX development I have been using their security, but I have
usually rolled my own. I am also not in the habit of using multiple
pages in my applications, usually a form of fusebox. I guess it is
really how you feel comftable doing it, I am just not very fond of
CFLOCATION at all, I use it to direct to downloads, that is about it,
and only so the end user does not see the location of the file usually.

Subject: Re: How can I redirect a user?


There are several login tags available, but the best way is to just have
a page that loggs the user in. I normally use a page called Login.cfm.
All this page does is, checks the users information that they posted on
the login form against the database, and if they are valid, I set some
application level variables and the like, then redirect them to the
appropriate page. If they do not have a account or did not enter their
infrmation correctly, they are redirected to the login page with a
message of what they did wrong.


So for instance, the code could look like this:

Validate the user againstthe database

cfquery datasource=#Application.DSN# Name=qry_CheckUser
Select Fname, Lname, UserID, Password
From Users
Where #TRIM(Users.UserID = Form.UserID)# AND #TRIM(Password =
Form.Password)
/cfquery

Check to see if the information is valid

cfif (qry_CheckUser.Recordcount) IS 1
set application, session or client variables here and redirect them
with cflocation

cfelse
Set error message to display and send them back to the login page
displaying the error message.

/cfif

This is a very simplified login routine. Like I said, there are several
out there on the Developers Exchange. Just do a search for Login.

 I'm setting up authentication against a database, and I have the form 
 data going to a seperate page that I want users not to see (just a 
 preference of mine)...Once the page is done processing, I want to push

 the users off to a different page...How do I do that?  Are there any 
 CF tags for it?

 Thank you,

 PS.  I'm very wet behind my ears, so if there's some tricks for 
 authenticating against a db, please feel free to tell me.

Re: Design Pattern Question

2003-01-13 Thread John Paul Ashenfelter
 Using Fusebox in conjunction with FLIP we have a complete application
design
 and development environment from concept-discussion through coding-ongoing
 maintenance.

 There is one last very important point here, there have been many previous
 methodologies/frameworks applied to ColdFusion development.  What is
 different in Fusebox is it has become the most widely used of all of them
 and that is a very considerable factor for those of us using teams of
 developers that can change, grow, shrink etc.


Mike makes good points, but one of the key distinctions is that of
*methodology* vs. *framework*. No question that Fusebox is a usefull
framework (though one could argue it's incomplete since it's missing things
like security, etc. That's a separate point). and that FLIP is a useful
methodology.

Methodologies can be religious wars -- XP vs RUP vs FLIP vs Agile vs
whatever. I think most people take the useful parts and synthesize their
own. Really good design/dev teams do this explicitly (e.g. we'll take A from
XP and B, C, and D from FLIP, but also integrate E from RUP and this other
cool methodology I like)

Frameworks, which have their own religious wars, IMHO are much easier to
judge on technical merits than methodologies (which can only be truly
measured by results). In the Java world, there's Struts. There's
velocity/turbine/torque. There's others, I certainly don't have the
definitive list! But in the ASP/CF/PHP world, there's not really any solid
frameworks other than Fusebox. And I like the way the new FB is headed -- it
is much more of a framework than a set of guidelines (like FB2 basically
was).

MM's produced some pretty cool tools/services for building more robut
frameworks in CF. I think the stuff at benorama is cool, but it's not really
a framework (it's sorta like FB2 in that it's guidelines and a few tools).
Fusebox has certainly become a defacto standard for CF frameworks, which is
a good thing. But just like the Java world has room for several different
frameworks, so does the CF world. Looking forward to seeing what's coming
down the pike this year :)

RE: SQL7 DB Update Procedure

Make your datasource a variable defined in the application.cfm.  Switch the
datasource between databases as needed by changing the application.cfm.  It
will not matter if the databases are on the same machine or not as they can
have different names and you can change what CF is looking at very easily.

Re: HELP!!!! jrun-resources.xml

2003-01-13 Thread John Paul Ashenfelter
I second Joachem -- use the Type IV driver -- not the ODBC/JDBC bridge. But
that aside, if you're getting trusted server errors, it's all about
permissions. Try sharing a drive using the sql admin account (domain admin
is optimal) from the cfmx box to the sql server. That should create a
trusted connection.

I'd check to make sure that all the relevant services are still running as
you originally had them -- that if you ran CF and SQL as named users, that
the scripts on install didn't flip them back to LocalSystem for some crazy
reason.

Another thing you could check -- log onto the CFMX box as the account you're
using to connect to SQLServer (assuming NTauth) or running the SQL Server
service as (assuming standard auth) and make sure you can validate against
the domain. Not a likely thing to have changed, but I've seen weirder.

 Are you using NTAuth or SQL auth to get in?

 As a quick test, create a datasource that uses the sa -- that verifies
 that
 SQL Auth is working correctly and the db is accessible. Then try
 connecting
 using NTAuth with whatever account you personally use to connect to the
 database (through things like Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer).

 That login \ usually means something is messed up with NTAuth.

 Another quick check, you can do an admin-level share between the web
 server
 to the sql box using an account with sql permissions -- that will handle
 a
 bad set of credentials.

 Note that none of these are long-term solutions -- just ways to
 check/address the connectivity -- you want to isolate problem and of
 course
 fix it -- leaving CF connecting as SA can be bad news!

RE: web beacons

2003-01-13 Thread Robert Bailey
I have used them before, to track the users, you pretty much refrence
the image, and when reading your logfile you can single that one out and
count your hits. I have also done things such as refrence an image that
did not exist, with a 1x1 h and w attrib, and added the page dynamically
to the end, and was able to watch the pages. Such as IMG
SRC=nothing.gif?index.cfm or whatever. I have not done that in a
while, though, but is helpful sometimes, especially if you want to track
other websites that are not on your server. We have also set up a
monitoring application before, where the website took .jpg images and
processed them through the CF engine, so the actual jpg files were plain
CFM text. We did it this way so that when we did have a subscription
list, we could see who opened their emails, since we could refrence the
image like IMG SRC=yadda.jpg?[EMAIL PROTECTED], which we put at the
bottom of all our emails that we had on our list. We did this because
most of the email clients out their would not accept an image src of
anything that ended in CFM or ASP, etc..., so this was our work around.
You could set cookies this way as well, since there is a header passed.
You can use a regular page and make the image source a CFM page, just
not in emails because of how the clients handle them. I think this was a
little long winded, so sorry and probably just made a mess of my answer.

RE: web beacons

2003-01-13 Thread Dave Watts
 Yahoo is using something called web beacons. Can anyone 
 simply explain how a single pixel gif is used as a web 
 beacon.
 
 http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/pixels/details.html

It's actually pretty simple, although I found it confusing too. And, while
Yahoo calls them web beacons, which sounds very nice and acceptable, most
people call them web bugs. 

Let's say I write a web page, and put it on my web server. Within my web
page, I include an IMG tag pointing to a GIF on another server. You then
enter the URL to my page in your browser, and view my web page. Your browser
will, as part of the process, fetch the GIF from the other server. The other
server can keep track of these requests, and set cookies on your browser.

You might find this interesting and useful:

Re: HELP!!!! jrun-resources.xml

2003-01-13 Thread John Paul Ashenfelter
The dropdown SQL Server is the native (OEM'ed Merant) java driver for
MSSQL -- the ODBC Socket choice is the JDBC/ODBC bridge.

Of course, using JDBC/ODBC bridge means you can test using ODBC :) You need
a JDBC app to test JDBC connectivity. Hey -- as an side, when you say the
ODBC connection work, are you simply using the Test Datasource in the
MSSQL ODBC setup? I don't remember all the details, but it's not a complete
test -- it's more like a ping (yes, there's a sql server there) than a real
test (yes, login is successful).

 I second Joachem -- use the Type IV driver -- not the ODBC/JDBC bridge.
 But
 that aside, if you're getting trusted server errors, it's all about
 permissions. Try sharing a drive using the sql admin account (domain
 admin
 is optimal) from the cfmx box to the sql server. That should create a
 trusted connection.

 I'd check to make sure that all the relevant services are still running
 as
 you originally had them -- that if you ran CF and SQL as named users,
 that
 the scripts on install didn't flip them back to LocalSystem for some
 crazy
 reason.

 Another thing you could check -- log onto the CFMX box as the account
 you're
 using to connect to SQLServer (assuming NTauth) or running the SQL
 Server
 service as (assuming standard auth) and make sure you can validate
 against
 the domain. Not a likely thing to have changed, but I've seen weirder.

  Are you using NTAuth or SQL auth to get in?
 
  As a quick test, create a datasource that uses the sa -- that verifies

  SQL Auth is working correctly and the db is accessible. Then try
  connecting
  using NTAuth with whatever account you personally use to connect to

RE: web beacons

2003-01-13 Thread Costas Piliotis
Oh yeah, and you can pass url parameters to that image as well... So let's
say you send an email to employeeid 145.

You can add a parameter the the src of the gif file in the html email you
send him as such:

img src=http://www.myserver.com/image.cfm?id=145;

Then in the source... Of image.cfm, something like this appears:
cfcontent file=foo.gif type=application/whatever
cfquery datasource=#application.ds#
insert into someTable (employeeid, date)
values (#val(url.id)#, getdate())
/cfquery

Re: cfoutput formatting

2003-01-13 Thread Scott Brady
I use mod to do this...
 
table
  tr 
cfoutput query=getReviews
td 
 #UCase(cusername)#br(#cpassword#)   
 
cfif (currentRow mod 4) eq 0
  /tr
  tr 
/cfif
/cfoutput
  /tr
/table

(I think you're missing the closing /td tag)

One suggestion I'd add to the above is after you get out of the loop, you might need 
to pad the last row if the query doesn't return a multiple of 4 rows:

cfif (currentRow mod 4) eq 0
  /tr
  tr 
/cfif
/cfoutput
!--- This should get you the number of cells you need to add --
cfset padCells = 4 - getReview.RecordCount MOD 4
cfif padCells LT 4
 cfloop from=1 to=#padCells#
td 
 nbsp; 
/td 
 /cfloop
/cfif
  /tr
/table

Re: Query help!

2003-01-13 Thread Samuel R. Neff
Please look at the help docs for cfqueryparam.  It takes at least two 
params, one for value and another for type.  You should specify the 
type.  Also note that you don't have to format the date when passing to 
cfqueryparam.

Best regards,

Sam

BTW, a lot of people don't use cfqueryparam until they have worked with CF 
for a while.  I'm glad to see you're doing things the right way from the 
outset (that was your post about being a recent convert from ASP, right?).

Please look at the help docs for cfqueryparam.  It takes at least two 
params, one for value and another for type.  You should specify the 
type.  Also note that you don't have to format the date when passing to 
cfqueryparam.

Best regards,

Sam

BTW, a lot of people don't use cfqueryparam until they have worked with CF 
for a while.  I'm glad to see you're doing things the right way from the 
outset (that was your post about being a recent convert from ASP, right?).

I can't figure out how to get a date query to work right...

I got CFMXJ2EE/JRun4/Sybase_ASE up and running on my Mac ... Seems to
work pretty well, now if someone only made a utility that would allow me
to move data from SQL Server to Sybase without having to write queries.

Yes, I AM lazy - thank you very much.

Requirements for VMWare (for Linux) are remarkable low, but you need a
*lot* of memory, decent disk space, and solid processor. I run Linux and
Windows emulations under Windows 2000 with 512MB and PIII/500 -- but
like it better on the P4 1+ GHz and 1 GB RAM.

Did a little research and not a solution (obviously) for Mac. Looks like
x86 architecture is part of the lowlevel emulation -- not that I know
anything about hardware emulation in software :)

  VirtualPC emulates a PC and runs on OS X.

 Right. But VMWare let's you install *lots* of OS's -- most *nix, most 
 Win, even Solaris if you're a glutton for install punishment. With 
 VMWare, you could run a virtual Win2k Server instance on your Mac and 
 use it for the db part of the development.

RE: HELP!!!! jrun-resources.xml

 Of course, using JDBC/ODBC bridge means you can test using 
 ODBC :) You need a JDBC app to test JDBC connectivity. 

Dick Applebaum pointed out a useful JDBC client for this sort of thing -
ViennaSQL. It's a runnable JAR file:

http://vienna.sourceforge.net/

 Hey -- as an side, when you say the ODBC connection work, 
 are you simply using the Test Datasource in the MSSQL 
 ODBC setup? I don't remember all the details, but it's 
 not a complete test -- it's more like a ping (yes, there's 
 a sql server there) than a real test (yes, login is 
 successful).

I'm pretty sure this isn't correct. When you use this test, you connect to
the specific database, using the specific username and password. The ping
part happens before you even get that far in the ODBC Control Panel - when
you select a server or server alias.

You don't even have to view the mail if the gif is near/at the top and the 
user has something like Eudora's message preview pane set.  (But then 
again, how many of the target demographics have even heard of Eudora ;-)

OTOH, for legit opt-in mail, the message preview pane can also give a false 
(too high) indication of how many messages were read.

RE: web beacons

2003-01-13 Thread Justin Greene
The more sophisticated web bugs do not use a parameter, but instead actually
use the filename itself to identify the individual and each email has a
different image being requested.  Quite effective in HTML email and on web
pages.
