RE: Multiple selections into a DB

Dont have any tutorials.. but i will try to explain it briefly. Let say you have a table with a unique identifier/userid/selections as (fields).

When the user re-visits the same page, you show all the options.. except this time, you have to check the DB selections to turn on the checkboxes. cfset selections=valueList(QueryName.selections) input type=checkbox name=mychkBox value=10 cfif listFind(selections,10)checked/cfif Joe Eugene -Original Message- From: Russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 12:32 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Multiple selections into a DB I think I get what you're saying, but I've never done this before, so I'm a bit at a loss as to how to approach it.

RE: site wide error handling
A few additions: You don't really need the conditional logic around the cferror tag. It might be wise to also include a request error handler e.g. cferror type=request... Although you are restricted to the number of variables you can use in this template (and you can't log/mail etc.) it provides a fallback in case there happens to be an error in your exception handler defined by cferror type=exception... And thus you avoid being hosed. If you want to replace try/catch for queries then the most appropriate exception type to specify is database e.g. cferror type=exception exception=database Naturally, the most logical place to put these tags is in Application.cfm though, as with cfapplication etc., you are not restricted to doing so i.e. you can override the exception handler on any given page as necessary or appropriate. You also need to be aware that if an error or exception occurs before you have called cferror e.g. somewhere high up in Application.cfm then your error handlers won't run. This contribution is purely for my own benefit as I wanted something to type.

Distinct on two columns?
I have to dynamically generate a drop-down list, so that if a column in a data table contains a certain type, it is included in the drop down list. So far no problem. For example, the drop down list has to include all the different types in the type column. But where I'm stumped is that if the type includes drum, I have to look in the loading column and see if 'front' or 'top' is in there. If there are any values with 'drum' in the type column and 'front' in the loading column, I have to include 'Front loading drum' in the drop down list. But if not, I have to omit that value from the drop down list. How can I do this without doing a whole succession of queries? One way to do it is cfif query1.type contains 'drum'another query on the table to find the distinct values of loading where type like '%drum%' If this query gives recordcount greater than zero, include the value in the drop down.cfif Is there a better way?

RE: Distinct on two columns?
I hadn't thought about concatenating them. Good idea. But no it wont work because the second column is only relevant for types that have the word 'drum' in them. All other types, the second column has nothing to do with it.

Re: ODBC Problems?
Yes, I agree that if a decent discussion is started about it then it seems like Sean Christian jump right in a get something done. But this guy was taking it way to far! And then starts insulting members and saying that he wants to aggravate us. If the guy had a brain cell and a half he'd realize that we are the people that can help him but instead he starts spewing insults at people. a better logic suggests that if you have an issue then get the others to push the maker to fix it, simple common sense. I'd never before seen a major corporation rethink their pricing/licensing policies just from some posts on a mailing list Exactly! but as I recall when ( I believe it was brook) started that out and throughout the duration of the discussion it was handled fairly pleasantly. A complaint was made and a discussion started MM responded. If I was MM I wouldn't respond to that putz either. hey I realize its just my opinion my opinion was he took it too far. If I was MM I'd give him his money back, cancel his license and send him on his cheerful way:) Maybe Tony could share his half pipe with him and things would chill a bit and he'd get taken care of. dave - Original Message - From: Bud [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 7:37 AM Subject: Re: ODBC Problems?

Re: Any Interest In Managing A Small Web Site?
Hello Keith, I'm interested in doing this, pending some clarification. If they are just looking for HTML based updates I do that for $20/hr Canadian. If they are looking for a dynamic backend to be developed (a la ColdFusion) I do that for $40/hr Canadian. I've done web editing/design and Content Management System development for such sites as www.canlearn.ca, www.ofah.org, www.quidnovis.com and more. I'm strongest in ColdFusion 5, HTML, SQL, JavaScript and Flash 5 as well as Spectra 1.5.1. The downside is that my time is limited as I have a full-time job and would be doing this in the off-hours. A few hours a week would be the most I could handle for updates. If they need some serious development work I could handle about 10 hours per week. I hope that provides all the info you need. I look forward to hearing back from you! So how's the weather out west? We just got another foot of snow in Ontario. Truly, Guy J. McDowell, M.M.C.P.

RE: New MM.com
Congratulations to Sean and all the team. The new site is great. I like very much the new design and the way the site and the information are organized. One little simple detail that I enjoy, it remembers your latest selection in the home page. For example, if you have choosen Products ColdFusion MX and Solutions Developers, the next time you come, the home page will have them already selected (I suppose this is based on new Shared Objects capabilities). Very simple but efficient personalization... Ok, it is a little bit slow on my PIII 500... but I'm sure it will get better. As for the back/forward buttons in Flash, it seems to be pretty well handled by the 4 RIAs (home, exchange, membership and download). For the moment, it seems to be stable... I haven't seen any error pages... ColdFusionMX+FlashMX unleashed upon the masses! Bravo!

RE: ODBC Problems?
I think that the key here is running CFMX as a named user. I couldn't get it to work when it ran as system. I suspect this is because you're using a trusted connection with your SQL Server ODBC connection. If you use a native SQL Server login, you should be able to run CFMX as whatever you want. (Not that you should run it as SYSTEM anyway, though.)

Re: Interact with client file system
Are you in a position where the ie clients have activex enabled and will trust the site, and what kind of file are you creating? CF has no ability to interact with the client file system, but you could use some client side jscript/vbscript and the System.FileSyetemObject, or something like SoftArtisans XFile control which has this capability. Just as a warning, in the past their controls have been scriptable only with vbscript. I'm not a vbscript master (oxymoron? g) but I had no trouble with it. http://fileup.softartisans.com/default.aspx?PageID=122 -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, March 5, 2003, 9:42:00 AM, you wrote: ms Greetings, ms I have a job where I need to create a file on a client ms PC and populate it with data pulled off an sql server. ms How can I create a file on a client PC? ms How shoud I go about this in a CF / IE environment? ms Thanks ms Mike ms __ ms Do you Yahoo!? ms Yahoo!

RE: ODBC Problems?
I am not the ONLY person that has complained about CFMX ODBX Problems, others here have reported the problem as well. Switching to a JDBC driver is not the answer to CFMX ODBC problems. It might be, actually. I would recommend that you try it out, if you have a JDBC driver available. Sure, it might be a pain, but why would you expect ODBC to necessarily work as well from Java through JDBC as it did with no extra middleware layer in CF 5? I got the JDBC driver working. The purpose of this whole post is to find out why the CFMX ODBC Agent/Server is not working/stable? I never saw any MM documentation saying that CFMX ODBC Connections are NOT Stable or NOT supposed to work. Sure, but you might want to apply a bit of common sense. Macromedia isn't going to say ODBC connections don't work, but they do say they won't work as well as pure JDBC connections. Draw your own conclusions. The SequeLink stuff (the ODBC Agent and Server) are a workaround for when you don't have JDBC drivers, aren't they?

Interact with client file system
To clairfy, The data or file is processed by a custom 3rd party driver for a output device slaved to the client PC. I talked to the dirver developer and he wants a file that he can process with his VB program without getting into http gets (I think the best way to go would be to cffile the data on the server and have his driver fetch it via http but I am looking for ideas). This would fall on the Intranet side of things but I want to keep it as simple and client proof as possible. Mike __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: ODBC Problems?
Sure, but you might want to apply a bit of common sense. Macromedia isn't going to say ODBC connections don't work, but they do say they won't work as well as pure JDBC connections. There is no COMMON Sense to apply here. Everything worked while we were testing CFMX. Obviously..since we didnt see any problems... took it to production.. and everything starts breaking. There is NO warning in the release notes about an UnStable CFMX ODBC Engine.

I am not the ONLY person that has complained about CFMX ODBX Problems, others here have reported the problem as well. Switching to a JDBC driver is not the answer to CFMX ODBC problems. It might be, actually. I would recommend that you try it out, if you have a JDBC driver available. Sure, it might be a pain, but why would you expect ODBC to necessarily work as well from Java through JDBC as it did with no extra middleware layer in CF 5? I got the JDBC driver working. The purpose of this whole post is to find out why the CFMX ODBC Agent/Server is not working/stable?

Re: Interact with client file system
Well, the only way to driectly interact with the client's file system from a browser is going to be ActiveX/.Net, or a java applet. How about sending the file as a file type that opens by default in this guys program though? Just like acrobat will open if you click on a pdf, or winamp opens when an mp3 is clicked. You could even send the file with cfcontent as long as you know the mime type to make it a bit more automatic. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, March 5, 2003, 10:32:20 AM, you wrote: ms To clairfy, ms The data or file is processed by a custom 3rd party ms driver for a output device slaved to the client PC. ms I talked to the dirver developer and he wants a file ms that he can process with his VB program without ms getting into http gets (I think the best way to go ms would be to cffile the data on the server and have his ms driver fetch it via http but I am looking for ideas). ms This would fall on the Intranet side of things but I ms want to keep it as simple and client proof as ms possible. ms Mike ms __ ms Do you Yahoo!? ms Yahoo!

I am setting up a web server with CF 5.0 on a win2kpro box and I read in the CF 5.0 installation manual that win2kpro is not recommended because it only allows 10 concurrent TCP/IP connections. This means that only 10 concurrent users can access the website right? Or are there connections used for internal things that would limit concurrent users further? Database connections, SMTP connections, FTP connections, management connections, backup connections etc. etc. etc. all reduce that number. If you run DNS even that reduces the number during zone transfers. Actually, I don't think this is true. I think you can have more than ten concurrent TCP/IP connections. You just can't support more than ten concurrent authenticated or SSL connections through the version of IIS that comes with Win2K Pro.

Re: RE: New Macromedia.com launched!
Benoit - First point, if it's beta, why is it on their production site? Furthermore, it fails some of the most basic requirements (i.e. document validity). Moreover, it doesn't even have alt tags on some images. Second, Flash, in of itself, may not be bad design or confusing, but it certainly is not good design to bury flashless design under accessibility. Where's the user control? Where is the alternative design? Moreover, it's not good design to force the download of a new plugin. Frankly, it didn't work when I said no. Moreover, while the organization is better, it's still not good. If the complaint is there's a lot there, check out IBM.com. Finally, have you tried to get to the gallery without Flash or Javascript? Good luck. I think that everyone appreciates the fact they're trying to move forward, but for a company focused on creating web tools, it should be an example. Frankly, There's no excuse.

If you do have one fire the people because they obviously don't know what they are doing. You can't release a site that doesn't even let you see the front page with a browser like Opera. I run it on IE and its slow as anything. Its like macromedia never stops to think before it releases things lol. Hopefully they fix the opera thing quickly. I mean its only a browser with 10%, and growing, of the market. - Original Message - From: Christian Cantrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 11:12 AM Subject: Re: New Macromedia.com launched!

RE: ODBC Problems? (RESOLVED)
My reaction would be to bitch. My solution would be to only use CFCs after rigorous testing LOL.. Interesting...quite different approaches!. Anyways.. to end the topic... I already submitted the problem.. right after Sean/Mike gave me the Bug forum/Wish List site link. The only 2 confirmations i needed from this whole post was... 1. Nobody on this list has CFMX ODBC working stable. 2. This is not an already acknowledged issue by MM. Wonder how it got this far... Topic closed for me.

The reason for this question is to find out the root cause of the ODBC Connection Failures. Its interesting to know that nobody is really curious...why certain things dont work. I am a little bit curious. But since I have never gotten any Access ODBC driver to work reliably at 50+ queries per second*, I am very happy at the same time with the prospect of having an excuse to ditch ODBC altogether. * Yes, I host crazy people. If i tell you CFC is not recommended and has problems... What will be your solution to that? Use Java Beans? My reaction would be to bitch.

Re: New Macromedia.com launched!
Yea but the issue with the mm home page is that it takes initially a while to load, then every click I make has this sluggishness to it, and most of the buttons create a page request which seems contradict macromedia flashes power of reducing http requests. On a few flash lists I am active on general consensus is negative... I definately share that..Although design is very nice and clean - it seems like last years trend. Perks and snappy elements such as the previous shortcuts worked MUCH faster, drop down lists on old site had some flare and animation to them - even things like on focus color change in the text box is removed. And those shortcuts - they are amazingly slow for me. I have on one of my sites drop downs pulling from a mere access database with coldfusion as server side that work substantially faster. Can't help but not be to thrilled. Yesterday - I also went in because I needed to research some technotes.. I gave up. I closed the site and visited some other resources. While I am sure that macr designers and flash developers worked hard and it is an all around nice app - I can't help but be sad about the change. I would have sent clients to macromedia home page on old site for them to see a glimpse of flash in user on hybrid pages.. Now I wouldn't send a client to review that home page. just my 02. I don't know what the focus was and this is beta - but I for one hope the second release is much faster and wow. The site and it's features are just all around sluggish for me.. first request, and all requests after that. As for the interface remember what you last clicked - I don't mean to sound like an ass- but not ingenious. Useful occasionally but many of us flash people have been doing that for the last year through session vars and cookies. As a base architecture and layout - I think it shows potential if the speed can be seriously increased. but then again - it's just my 02 cents and who am I but a mere simple multiple visit daily user.. jay miller Christian Cantrell wrote: On Wednesday, March 5, 2003, at 10:59 AM, Benoit Hediard wrote: They keep changing the groupings of things as well ... quite a pain this morning to find the Exchanges... had to use the site map Not very hard... Select Product ColdFusion MX on the home page, and then you'll get a direct access to the exchange. (and it will remember this setting) This is actually a very important point. When you load a page containing one more more RIAs, it is very likely going to take longer than just loading a straightforward HTML page, however interacting with RIAs, in the long run, should save you several clicks. And the fact that it remembers your selection is pretty ingenious, so basically, I now have a slightly customized version of the Macromedia home page that contains links directly to not just the product I am usually interested in, but different pages within that product section (including the exchange).

Re: New MM.com
I appreciate that you guys are getting hammered here. I should have thought you'd have expected it. I also hear you getting defensive, and I can really understand that, too. I've been there. That not withstanding, what you've essentially said here is this: Whatever percentage the Opera market is, we're comfortable abandoning them, or forcing them to launch a Microsoft product that they'd really rather not. My guess is that your typical Opera user is a developer. Is this really an audience you're comfortable with orphaning? For my part, when I develop a site, I'm constantly testing it in several versions of Explorer, Communicator and Opera. Who QA-ed your new site, anyway?

If it's truly a Beta version as it says, then going to http://www.macromedia.com should not go to the new site. It should go to the old site with a Check out our beta site! link. Doesn't Macromedia advise against putting Beta products into production? Apparently not with their web site.
