Re: Routines cannot be declared more than once. UDF ???
because that is shorthand for a matched ending tag that can have text inside it cfmodule template=foo.cfm / is the equivalent of cfmodule template=foo.cfm /cfmodule This is standard and common , esp for the XML and XHTML people out there. That means that unless you've wrapped your custom tag's code with logic to catch when the execution mode is start versus end, then the code will get run twice : once when the beginning of the tag is encountered and once when the ending of the tag is encountered you likely want to use something like: cfif thisTag.ExecutionMode is 'start' ...etc to restrict the execution to only occuring once - Original Message - From: Taco Fleur [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 23, 2003 4:48 AM Subject: Re: Routines cannot be declared more than once.

Re: Routines cannot be declared more than once. UDF ???
you likely want to use something like: cfif thisTag.ExecutionMode is 'start' ...etc to restrict the execution to only occuring once BTW this is particularly handy if you want to nest calls to custom tags e.g. cf_tag1 cf_tag2 /cf_tag1 but are using cfmodule to call the tag. As all closing cfmodules look the same, the inner tags need to be closed, i.e.: cfmodule template=tag1.cfm cfmodule template=tag2.cfm/ /cfmodule But you don't want the code for the inner tags to run twice so you do the cfif thisTag.ExecutionMode is 'start' trick.

Re: Routines cannot be declared more than once. UDF ???
Theoretically if the cfml language had a complete xsd it could be validated against, you could use the new xml functions in CF MX to parse cfml templates to examine them for various conditions or to get certain information out of them. I could see potentially automatic diagramming of the flow control of a cfml template (which might make any mistakes you'd made more obvious from looking at it). A niche application to be sure. :) Although you might be able to do that now dependant on how lenient the xml functions are -- I haven't done any work with them yet, so I can't say from experience.

Re: Form validation
FusionScript is designed to allow you to use reasonably simple ColdFusion tags (custom tags) to create client-side JavaScript code essentially using the same syntax you use for the rest of your ColdFusion code. I haven't used it personally because of it's use of custom tags and my still trying to support CF 5. ( Without cfimport you have to have all your templates in the same directory or you have to put the FusionScript templates in the custom tags directory which usually isn't feasable if you have shared hosting. ) FusionScript does some other things (the ActiveServer component is really impressive -- it's not actually a server, just a means of communicating with the CF Server without refreshing a page), but as I understood it, that was the original thrust of it. If you're just looking to validate your data, you can of course, always use server-side script on the action page. I frequently place the action-page within the same template and have it post back to itself, perform validation at the top with a try-catch statement then populate the form with form variables. cfif isdefined(form.membername) cftry cfif not len(trim(form.membername)) cfthrow type=mycustomtype message=Please enter your name. /cfif cfif not isemail(form.memberemail) cfthrow type=mycustomtype message=Please enter a valid email address. /cfif ...etc... cfquery ... INSERT INTO MEMBERS ... /cfquery cfcatch type=mycustomtype div style=color:red; cfoutput#cfcatch.message#/cfoutput /div /cfcatch /cftry /cfif form ... cfparam name=form.membername type=string default= input type=text name=membername value=#htmleditformat(form.membername)# ...etc... /form You can also use CFForm for which there is plenty of documentation -- it creates client-side javascript validation. I've avoided using it in general because I've not been happy with the way it works. On CFMX it includes a client side .js file which can be pointed to with a new scriptsrc attribute, i.e. cfform scriptsrc=/lib/cfform.js ... This is an improvement over the previous versions as it allows you to customize the client-side script and the behavior of the cfform tag without making any changes to the CF Server. Then there's the default ColdFusion Server server-side validation: input type=text name=membername value= input type=hidden name=membername_required value=Please enter your name. This will halt processing of the next page and ask the user to use their browser's back button, providing a list of error messages from fields not properly provided. _required requires a field, _date requires the field to be a date and _numeric requires the field to be a number. I think there may be a couple others, but those are the ones I remember. It should still be in the CF Server documentation. And then there's the qForms API ( http://www.pengoworks.com ) which is a JavaScript API for client-side form validation. I use it (usually in combination with server-side validation using the try-catch as above). I've been pretty impressed with the API in general, although it does show the occasional bug, just like any other open-source project. I've had to fix the _trim() function a couple times by overwriting the one provided in the API with my own (infinite loop - ick). One or more of these should get you where you need to be. :) If you use client-side validation ( cfform, qForms or FusionScript ) I also recommend that you use some form of server-side validation as well. The default ColdFusion Server method of using hidden form fields with _required, _date etc. is likely to be the easiest and as a result least prone to error. hth s. isaac dealey954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to tapestry api is opensource http://www.turnkey.to/tapi certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 What do you mean?

server tuning
There are several settings for CF5 in the cf administrator that greatly affect performance and I'm curious what others' experiences have been. Obviously everyone's hardware and software are different, but I think to hear what others have found will be illuminating. My settings are for a cluster of dual xeon 2.4 GHz cf5.0 servers and a dual xeon 2.4 GHz SQL 2k database. All servers have 2 GB of memory. Server Settings : Settings: Limit simultaneous requests to [20] [on] Timeout requests after [90] seconds [on] Timeout requests after [5] unresponsive requests [on] Restart when requests terminate abnormally ODBC: [off] Enable the limit of [0] simultaneous connections [on] Maintain database connections Connection Timeout [0] minutes Thanks, Matt BTW, for some reason this message never appeared (or wasn't accepted) on the cf-server list, so I'm trying cf-talk. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
unexpeted result with cfqueryparam
This behavior isn't a bug, although I can't explain why your code works in CF 5. CF's normal behavior is to escape a single quote contained in a SQL string value by doubling it. This is true whether you use the Trim() function or not. So you'll want to use PreserveSingleQuotes() to prevent CF from automatically escaping the single quotes in your SQL string values. The HTMLEditFormat function is used to preserve specific special characters () that are used inside CFOUTPUT tags by converting them to HTML codes (lt; etc.). But this function preserve *double* quotes, not single quotes. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

As others have suggested, wrap your tag in the first if statement above so that you can close it without it executing twice.

Re: unexpeted result with cfqueryparam
I didn't figure it was a bug, just couldn't see the reason for the behavior. What still doesn't seem to make sense is that using the trim() in the cfqueryparam value does add an additional apostrophe, but not using trim() doesn't. (In MX, at least.) I've used preserveSingleQuotes so doesn't escape; but, haven't seen that as necessary when cfqueryparam is used. (Are you suggesting to set the cfqueryparm value=#PreserveSingleQuotes(formValue)# ?) I began using the HTMLEditFormat for generated form values in either 4 or 5 because if someone used an apostrophe and this went directly to the database as such, it truncated the entry at the spot of the apostrophe. Using HTMLEditFormat was recommended somewhere along my learning and it worked to prevent this truncation. Thanks for the explanation. Keith E.

Re: unexpeted result with cfqueryparam
Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]: This behavior isn't a bug, although I can't explain why your code works in CF 5. I would disagree. I think it is a bug. CF's normal behavior is to escape a single quote contained in a SQL string value by doubling it. This is true whether you use the Trim() function or not. So you'll want to use PreserveSingleQuotes() to prevent CF from automatically escaping the single quotes in your SQL string values. But not when using cfqueryparam. Using cfqueryparam is meant to call the functionality of the database driver to do the escaping. Any escaping done by CF before that will only result in doubling the quotes twice, and therefore CF should do no escaping whatsoever of any value passed through cfqueryparam.

POST Failing from CF Server
Hi all. This is probably not CF related (but may be) but I'm hoping someone here has experienced something similar. About every 2 days or so, all POSTS from the web server will fail, and occasionally it seems as though all outgoing TCP/IP connections will fail. This is a recent phenomenon and I can't put my finger on anything I've installed recently that would have made this start happening. I use several COM objects and CFX tags, like CFX_LinkAPI, CFX_RawSocket to connect to various Credit Card processors, UPS, etc. and also use CFHTTP for some. All of a sudden, none of these will be able to connect. I can connect to the web server fine from the outside. Setup: NT 4 CF 4.5 SP 2 Website Pro 1 GB RAM Dual 512 Mz Nothing that I can see out of the ordinary appears in the event viewer. Any clues on where I should look or what I should monitor? I've gone in and checked and it doesn't appear that I'm using too many resources. In fact, it sometimes happens early in the morning when nothing is going on 9basically) on the server. Thanks for any help y'all can give me. This is frustrating. -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ColdFusion Solutions / eCommerce Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.twcreations.com/ 954.721.3452 ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: Experthost error they will not respond
Yeah-- This happened to me (not the exact issue) about 3 months ago. Most people rave about them, but it was my experience that they had cycled in some new people who perhaps weren't as experienced. They never did anything to correct the situation (with the employees) nor did they do anything to help me with the fact that I lost a couple of days worth of email. That said, we keep them at arms length and only use them for things for ourselves; never for clients. NEVER for clients; not when our rep is on the line for it.

RE: CFDIRECTORY query
Well -- that's the point of testing on cf 5 the format provided from the use of cfdirectory on mx... That's what I meant by trying #dateformat(13 February, 2003 9:23:55 AM CST)# (the literal string, not the cfdirectory result) on the CF 5 machine -- it might be that the CF 5 server recognizes this as a date whereas MX does not. There's not really such a thing as a date object on cf 5, it simply has an algorithm for examining a sting to determine if it is an identifiable date. So ... if this code produces different output on CFMX than it does on cf 5 then it's probably a bug -- it if produces the same output, but works on CF 5 but not on MX then it is _definitely_ a bug. cfdirectory name=mydir ... blah blah ... cfoutput#dateformat(mydir.datelastmodified)#/cfoutput Or more plainly, the question is does CF5(#mydir.datelastmodified#) == CFMX(#mydir.datelastmodified#) -- both servers should produce the same output (if you disclude the dateformat() and timeformat() functions) -- if they're not the same, it's _probably_ a bug.

Re: cfscript object array reference
Forgot about cfdump, will give it a try...
Am not sure what your code objURL[i].text is for?
Are u trying to parse an xmlDoc.. then its different
objURL[i].xmlText;
Following is what I am trying to achieve...
objXMLHTTP = createObject(COM, Microsoft.XMLHTTP);
objXMLDOM = createObject(COM, Microsoft.XMLDOM);
objXMLHTTP.open(GET, http://www.coldfusionist.com/xml/rss/rss.xml;,
False);
objXMLHTTP.Send();
objXMLDOM = objXMLHTTP.ResponseXML;
objItem = objXMLDOM.getElementsByTagName(item);
writeOutput(table width=100% cellspacing=5 cellpadding=5);
for (i = 0; i LTE objItem.length - 1; i = i +1 )
{
writeOutput(tr);
writeOutput(td width='200');
writeOutput(a href='foo' target='_blank'foo objItem(i).text);
writeOutput(/a/td);
writeOutput(td/td);
writeOutput(/tr);
}
writeOutput(/table);
objXMLHTTP = false;
objXMLDOM = false;

Subject: cfscript object array reference
objXMLHTTP = createObject(COM, Microsoft.XMLHTTP);
The code below creates an array and assigns it to the variable
objURL if I am correct
objURL = objXMLDOM.getElementsByTagName(url);
However I can't seem to refence to it, neither with
objURL(i).text); nor with
objURL[i].text);
Any ideas?

In IE, if your page has a VBScript as the last script in the head, then IE will interpret everything after that as VBScript. Since I use both VBScript and JavaScript at work, I now always make sure to specify the script language with the javascript: or vbscript: thingy. Good point!

Re: unexpeted result with cfqueryparam
But not when using cfqueryparam. Using cfqueryparam is meant to call the functionality of the database driver to do the escaping. Any escaping done by CF before that will only result in doubling the quotes twice, and therefore CF should do no escaping whatsoever of any value passed through cfqueryparam. Yes, I do remember seeing your previous comments about using CFQUERYPARAM to preserve single quotes...but I could never get that to test out. Do you have a resource to share? Maybe this is just another Access anomaly... Anyway, here's some test code I ran (CFMX/Access) before sending my last post... cfset variables.showLabel = abc's cfquery datasource=test UPDATE foo SET showLabel = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar value=#trim(PreserveSingleQuotes(showLabel))# / where foo_id = 1 /cfquery ...foo is now abc's in the database, which is what we want. But when I change the CFQUERYPARAM tag to cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar value=#trim(HTMLEditFormat(showLabel))# / ...foo becomes abc''s in the database If I change the CFQUERYPARAM tag again to cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar value=#trim(showLabel)# / foo is still abc''s ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq 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 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: unexpeted result with cfqueryparam
What still doesn't seem to make sense is that using the trim() in the cfqueryparam value does add an additional apostrophe, but not using trim() doesn't. Hmmmcould've sworn I tested this before but...I just tested cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar value=#showLabel# / and, sure enough, foo becomes abc's again...just what we want. So...I guess as long as we leave well enough alone (that is, don't use *any* functions with CFQUERYPARAM), CFQUERYPARAM gets the database to do all the work, right? ~Dina ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
