RE: Text searching in Oracle
CF_SQL_LONGVARCHAR has nothing to do with the numeric type long. It is used to describe text fields with a very large number of characters. As he is using Oracle, it will probably be a field of type CLOB (or maybe LONG and then he should switch to CLOB). -Original Message- From: Thomas Chiverton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: maandag 17 maart 2003 11:50 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Text searching in Oracle On Saturday 15 Mar 2003 19:33 pm, Matt Robertson wrote: Can this be done with CF and one of the other long types, assuming CF 4.5?

Quoting Shahzad.Butt [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I can compare this string but in future we will have different devices then i've to change the code and put another IF. Is it only option i've got? It depends on *why* you want to know if the device is a handheld. If it is just for reasons of output formatting, using the media attribute of your stylesheets may be much easier.

RE: Text searching in Oracle
I ran into this with some short news type items that were displayed on our web site with FileMaker/Lasso. FileMaker, Access, 4D and some other smaller db's have text or memo fields that hold 32k or more. The similar data type in Oracle 8 is varchar2(4000). So I put the body of the news record in a related child table. Items greater than 4k get spread across multiple records and I overlap what is saved by 100 characters so that if someone is searching text, phrases won't get cut up. Everything gets pasted back together for display. It's very fast. But we don't have a lot of news records and for many, the text is less than 4k.

Matrix problem
I'm not very experienced at this, but I need to create a report that creates a matrix (the number of times where, say, column f intersects the row 5). I see how I can work the query (a kind of Where F AND 5 statement--other approaches appreciated). But I'm at a loss about how to output it so that it counts the total number instead of lists each incident. Is it done in the query or in the output?

RE: Using createUUID()
if you mean a UUID within SQL (i.e. 46 chr string such as A4534-34565E- etc...) then you may be able to use newid() within mySQL, though I am not sure that it supports it. In CF, you could use : myUUID = Mid(CreateUUID(),1,4); to get the first 4 chars of a CF generated ID.

Re: Can someone walk me thru changing my ALT-3 shortcut?
OK, I've tried following those same steps, and the shortcuts just don't take. So far I've: 1. Created a copy 2. Navigated to the Surround With Comment option 3. Typed CTRL+3 4. Clicked Changed 5. Confirmed the override 6. Clicked OK twice 7. Restarted DWMX Nothing. To compound the issue, all of of options within the Tabs on the insert Panel are grayed out and unusable. Any ideas on what's going on? I'm using DWMX 6.1. Regards, Dave. That's so weird. Those steps worked *perfectly* for me, and I'm on DWMX 6.1 too.

RE: Using createUUID()
Quoting Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) [EMAIL PROTECTED]: erm... I would say that they are unique. No UUID is the same by its very definition; thats the point... Just generate enough and you will get duplicates. But the problem is more with the following: In CF, you could use : myUUID = Mid(CreateUUID(),1,4); to get the first 4 chars of a CF generated ID. Apart from using Left() instead of Mid() :-), just because the UUID is unique does not mean the first 4 characters are unique. With 4 ASCII characters you can have only 4 billion different combinations anyway, and with 4 HEX characters only 65536 different combinations.

RE: Using createUUID()
MySQL has an AUTO_INCREMENT column type (well it used to). It depends what scope of uniqueness you need for the ID - if unique at the table level is sufficient then this will do, though it does tie your code down to MySQL.

The UUID will ALWAYS be unique - thats the whole point, and why you can define a row id with one of course like people have stated, reducing the amount of chars may increase the chance of a dupe with that block, but in essense the UUID will always be unique, if CF does not produce a unique UUID everytime then its a bug. -Original Message- From: Jason Lees (National Express) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 March 2003 14:00 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Using createUUID() Heres a URL on how the UUID is defined http://www.dsps.net/uuid.html (the Colour coding leaves something to be desired but...)

Remoting...
Evening all, When you make a call to createGatewayConnection() from within the Action Script, what happens? What I mean is, does Flash make a call to the CFC purely to check if it exists and then discards anything, or does it hold a reference to the new instance? What we'd like to do is PUSH data to the flash component, rather than PULL it from the server... We could set up a timer on the component to re-cal la function in a CFC every x seconds, but what we'd rather do is (somehow) have the CFC inform flash that an update has happened. As far as I can work out, it's not possible. Am I right in this thinking? Alternatively, is there a way around it? Say having flash call the CFC straight away (once) and the CFC will wait until an update has occurred, then return the new data to Flash, whereupon Flash will update and call the CFC again, which will wait etc etc etc... How about creating an instance of a java class on the CFC call and storing that in a global scope somewhere, which does nothing but wait() until an update has occurred, whereupon CF will call a method on that java object to break out of the wait statement, so the initial CFC call will then complete etc... Would that work? I sure there must be an easier way... Pah, what a thing to be doing on a Monday.

Re: big database (need to modify columns)
Quoting Tony Weeg [EMAIL PROTECTED]: has anyone on here ever had to add a column or change a column's properties. My database already has like 15 million rows of data in it? if so, how the HECK did you do it? ALTER TABLE table ADD COLUMN column datatype; Never done it on something larger as 8 million rows and it takes some time, but it is not something that ought to break anything. Just remember that this will most likely exclusively lock your table, and that CF (or any other web language) is not the right tool for it, but you need the native DB management tools.

RE: Using createUUID()
Quoting Jason Lees (National Express) [EMAIL PROTECTED]: http://www.dsps.net/uuid.html (the Colour coding leaves something to be desired but...) Just glancing at the document suggests that this will be a unique number, as it uses the Mac address of the PC to generate it. And although MAC addresses are officially unique, they are not in reality. Many OS'es allow you to change it and vendors of cheaper NICs (Realtek) use duplicates themselves.

RE: Using createUUID()
As long as you use this value when the form is initially loaded, then this value would insert into the database as well. I think I understand what you are asking. If you are wanting this to be a unique form ID number then I would recommend calling it something other than UUID, because once you save it as a ten digit number, it is no longer a UUID.

Re: Remoting...
I see what your trying to do do, but somewhere, something has to poll to see if an update has happenned. How does the CFC know if there was an update? Do you mean a DB update? BTW, it's a great question. Looking forward to other's responses. -Frank - Original Message - From: Tim Blair [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 9:05 AM Subject: Remoting... Evening all, When you make a call to createGatewayConnection() from within the Action Script, what happens? What I mean is, does Flash make a call to the CFC purely to check if it exists and then discards anything, or does it hold a reference to the new instance? What we'd like to do is PUSH data to the flash component, rather than PULL it from the server... We could set up a timer on the component to re-cal la function in a CFC every x seconds, but what we'd rather do is (somehow) have the CFC inform flash that an update has happened. As far as I can work out, it's not possible. Am I right in this thinking? Alternatively, is there a way around it? Say having flash call the CFC straight away (once) and the CFC will wait until an update has occurred, then return the new data to Flash, whereupon Flash will update and call the CFC again, which will wait etc etc etc... How about creating an instance of a java class on the CFC call and storing that in a global scope somewhere, which does nothing but wait() until an update has occurred, whereupon CF will call a method on that java object to break out of the wait statement, so the initial CFC call will then complete etc... Would that work? I sure there must be an easier way... Pah, what a thing to be doing on a Monday.

RE: Using createUUID()
As I understand it, createUUID returns a character string. I thought that record ID's should be numeric because of the improved performance on indexed look-ups.

Re: Can someone walk me thru changing my ALT-3 shortcut?
That's so weird. Those steps worked *perfectly* for me, and I'm on DWMX 6.1 too. I can type anything and select it, and hit ctrl-3 and it's all surrounded by poundsigns... Well, what's wierd is that I sent the post to cf-talk, but it didn't post for literally about 3 days. In that interim, I did a full uninstall/reinstall of DWMX and things are working now. Not sure why the initial install was corrupted (or why my post took 3 days to post), but I'm just happy to be up and running again, so I won't complain!

Re: Using createUUID()
Hi, I need to generate a unique ID for every form I submit. The createUUID # generated is just too long for my needs. My ID only needs to be 10 characters in length. Something like: CT-0001001 I'm using MySQL. Can I have mysql generate the unique ID? How could I do this with CF? If mySQL is case sensitive like Oracle, you could take the uName() function from TAPI to do this... cfset myid = request.tapi.uName(,10) (the order of the arguments may not be right here, this is from memory and I don't usually use the arguments. The function was originally created for the purpose of creating random strings to be used as names of temporary functions in JavaScript and as such generates a string of x random mixed case characters, discluding some commonly confused characters (0oOliI1) with a pre-defined prefix (to prevent the possibility of the string beginning with a number which would make it useless as a function name). You can set the prefix to an empty string and the number of characters to 10 (default is 35) to produce something slightly less structured and of course you can add back in the 0oOliI1 characters to increase your variance. Url in my sig below. Or you could use a non random string (guaranteed to be unique every time) like an autonumber/increment. Do this by exclusively locking around the function that generates the number (either from the db or from the file system), and then simply set your string with this number cfset myid = CT- numberformat(myautonumber,000) To get the number from mySQL just create a table for your autonumber id's and use a cftransaction isolation=serializeable around two queries -- one to retreive the current number and another to increment it by one. To get the number from the file system is similar -- just create a file to contain the number and use cflock name=#expandpath(myfilepath)# type=exclusive timeout=30cffile action=read file=#expandpath(myfilepath)# variable=myuniqueidcffile action=write file=#expandpath(myfilepath)# output=#incrementvalue(myuniqueid)#/cflock In CFMX you can create a UDF to perform this task using cffunction so you can create more unique id's if you need them and reduce the amount of typing to get them. 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 ~| 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.

I see what your trying to do do, but somewhere, something has to poll to see if an update has happenned. How does the CFC know if there was an update? Do you mean a DB update? Think of it in terms of a private messaging system: one user of the site sends another user a message which gets written to the database. Once the write has been performed, another function is called to say that an update has occurred, which should somehow push the new data to the flash client. I guess it's kinda like the view in a traditional MVC architecture: the view (flash component) is an observer of the model (database, CFCs) and needs to catch a model updated event so it knows a refresh is required... BTW, it's a great question. Looking forward to other's responses.

RE: Matrix problem
I don't think I understood the question. And, given that there's been no response in the last hour and a half, I suspect no one else did, either. To me, a matrix is simply an n-dimensional array where n 1. In a 2-dimensional matrix, column f will intersect row 5 exactly once. Your query approach suggests that you are working with a matrix of n 2. So you are looking for a count of (f, 5, x) is populated where x is the third dimension.

RE: Remoting...
You can only push data on demand with Flash Remoting. You cannot control when you'll get the response from a remoting call... (you'll get the response as soon as the request is finished on the server). It is a request/response mechanism. If you need to be able to push data from a server to a Flash client in REAL TIME, you'll need to open a socket connection on your flash client (with XMLSocket() object). On the server side, you'll need a socket server to handle those connections (for example Unity from www.moock.org). But, you'll have to handle the interaction between the socket server and your CFCs. For example, you could write some java class that will call your CFCs and return XML formatted data to your Flash client. So, it is possible, but it requires quite a lot of coding... In fact, the easiest way to do it is to use Flash Communication Server MX and it's remote Shared Objects (more info : http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flashcom/articles/whiteboard_3.html). On the server side, you would write the Flash Remoting ActionScript that will call your CFCs and populate a remote Shared Object. All the interaction with your CFCs are on the server side, between FlashCom and ColdFusion. As soon as the remote shared objects is modified on FlashCom server, all the Flash clients connected to this shared object will be automatically notified (onSync event). FlashCom hides all the complexity of the socket connection and notification mechanism. It's really great!

Evening all, When you make a call to createGatewayConnection() from within the Action Script, what happens? What I mean is, does Flash make a call to the CFC purely to check if it exists and then discards anything, or does it hold a reference to the new instance? What we'd like to do is PUSH data to the flash component, rather than PULL it from the server... We could set up a timer on the component to re-cal la function in a CFC every x seconds, but what we'd rather do is (somehow) have the CFC inform flash that an update has happened. As far as I can work out, it's not possible. Am I right in this thinking? Alternatively, is there a way around it? Say having flash call the CFC straight away (once) and the CFC will wait until an update has occurred, then return the new data to Flash, whereupon Flash will update and call the CFC again, which will wait etc etc etc... How about creating an instance of a java class on the CFC call and storing that in a global scope somewhere, which does nothing but wait() until an update has occurred, whereupon CF will call a method on that java object to break out of the wait statement, so the initial CFC call will then complete etc... Would that work? I sure there must be an easier way... Pah, what a thing to be doing on a Monday.

Application Security using cflogin and cfloginuser
I was reading the tutorial over on cfvault, and I noticed it wasn't using cflogin, or cfloginuser, or any of the newer MX security features, and I was wondering if anyone had a good url with a good introduction to application security using some of the newer CFMX features. I'm trying to wrap my brain around application security, and I'm having a hard time following the CFMX manual. In fact, I'm not even sure of what questions I'd even *ask* at this point, other than maybe, how on earth do I make this work? I mean, I fundamentally understand how this is all supposed to work, and I understand application.cfm and all that, but I'm just having a hard time determining little things...like what to put where, and so on. Also, if I use cfloginuser I'm limited to name, password, and roles, but the table is going to store more information than that, that I'd like access to, like first and last name for instance. I'd like to display that on each page, but I'm not sure how to get it for each logged in user. Etc..

In my opinion, the only answers to your problem are : - periodic calls from the client through Flash Remoting to see if an update has occured, Very easy to do, nearly real time (every 10 sec. for example), but it generates a lot of calls/traffic on the server... definitely not recommanded for large site with hundred of simultaneous clients. - socket connection More complex (requires a socket server), but real time and it reduces dramatically calls/traffic on ColdFusion Server.

So lemme get this straight, I'm not going to be able to start my logic with does a session exist? because the cflogin tag isn't going to do anything with sessions? Like create one? The cflogin tag has nothing to do with sessions. Period. As it stands, you 'create' a session when you put the cfapplication tag in your browser. I believe it exists even before you do your first cfset session.foo = 1. (Actually, I'm sure of this since you can cfdump session immediately.) You _can_ however set a session var on login. You will see in my code that after the users logs in correctly, I set various session values (I do it all at once by getting a struct of user data then appending it on the session scope.) What I'm looking for is basically the following: 1. Is the user logged in with a current session? (I would place this in the application.cfm of the directory I want to protect, so It's executed on every page in the directory, so people can't bookmark a page and come back to it without To determine if someone is logged on, you can do multiple things. 1) getAuthUser() will return if not logged in. See special note. 2) If anything inside the cflogin block is run, you are not logged in. So you could do: cflogin cfset request.ImAGuest = true /cflogin and request.ImAGuest will exist if the user isn't logged in. having to log back in) 2. If so, then display the page.

Or should it sit up, outside of the directory with the application.cfm page and just pass successful logins to that directory?) It doesn't matter where it exists. If you want a popup, then it has to be in the web directory somewhere. If you cfinclude the code, you don't have to worry about Application.cfm blocking access to it (something I see cfnewbies do - protect all files using application.cfm and forget to make it possible to view the login page.) My login is basically just a popup window that will refresh the parent and close itself upon successful login. In other words, you'd go to index.cfm, and click a link to popup login.cfm, and when you successfully logged in, the window would close and you'd be on the index page of the lower directory. That can work. :) Special Note: If inside a cflogin block you log the user in, getAuthUser will STILL report . It will report until you exit the cflogin block.

So, is it possible to have a trigger check for uniqueness and insert or update a record depending on whether the record was found? sql server triggers work after the insert--inserting then figuring out if there are two identitical rows would be a bit challenging. you'd probably be better off with an SP to handle this. ~| 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 Your ad could be here.

Re: Clearing Cached Pages
Dave, I encountered a problem on Friday where a user continued to see an old page, even after I had updated it. I realize this has to due with the users cache, but am wondering if anyone knows of a way/command to clear the cache or prevent a site from caching. Any help is appreciated To stop a page from being cached by a users browser you need to use the following HTML meta tags in your pages : META http-equiv='expire' content='0' META http-equiv='pragma' content='no-cache' I suspect that if the user has set their internet options to never check for page changes then you will be a bit stuck, but any of the other settings should pick up the addition of these tags and clear their cache or at least force their browser to load a new copy of the page.

OT: Dropdown Question
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has an example or maybe a custom tag that I could use that would allow me to have a dropdown box on a page that if the option for the user to select is not there then the user can type something in the field. I tried to leave a blank option out there but the blank option is selectable but not editable. I have tried to search on Developer Exchange but I cannot find any. I am sure there is one out there but I must be using the wrong search word. Thanks Mario This message is for the named person's use only.

RE: Application Security using cflogin and cfloginuser
depends...I know vague frustration going on here...but it does depend on how you set it up. I usually use a two dir system myself with a dir /login with its own application.cfm file that does no login check and an application.cfm file in my / dir that does the check for every file below / including sub-dirs, except for the /login dir of course. You can do it in one dir...just check for existence of session.login, or whatever you call it. If it doesn't exist, do the login thing, otherwise just continue. The important thing is to step back a minute or two and understand just how application.cfm works. Once you got htat under your belt, its cake dude. play around with some code you create and experiment, best way to learn this stuff IMHO.

I usually use a two dir system myself with a dir /login with its own application.cfm file that does no login check and an application.cfm file in my / dir that does the check for every file below / including sub-dirs, except for the /login dir of course. You can do it in one dir...just check for existence of session.login, or whatever you call it. If it doesn't exist, do the login thing, otherwise just continue. The important thing is to step back a minute or two and understand just how application.cfm works. Once you got htat under your belt, its cake dude. play around with some code you create and experiment, best way to learn this stuff IMHO. Doug That's exactly what I'm doing. I've found that MOST of the tutorials online have great detail, but it's all CF5 detail and NOTHING I've seen online has details about how to utilize CFLOGIN and the new CF session management feature. I know that starting with MX, you don't have to lock things in the session scope, etc, and I'm looking to create something that's largely MX based, and I'm having a devil of a time finding anything useful online. I just recently finished Fast Track to coldfusion, which contained detailed information on the last chapter about cflogin, and stuff, but I'm doing it moderately different than the example in the class and I'm running into where do I stick my code questions, more than anything else. But I think I'm getting it. I was heading in the direction you just described above almost by myself. It seems like I'm about 5 minutes ahead of you guys and are seeming to have the same revelations at about the same time. ~| 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 Your ad could be here.

RE: Forum System Recommendations
Thanks to those that replied. I'm researching the options you suggested.

It needs to support unlimited threads, topics, messages, etc. It needs to support forum searches, user profiles, moderation, limited HTML content. And, preferably, it should be cheap (about $500) but doesn't have to be free. I checked out FuseTalk and the pricing is way too prohibitive. Can anyone make any other suggestions, preferably from personal experience? Talk to FuseTalk directly. Their teminology is a little weird and I suspect that what you actually need is very cheap ($250ish I believe), plus if its a NP/charitable organisation you might qualify for an educational discount.

It's starting to make perfect sense. If I have a subdirectory in the root that I want to protect, and I want code to run every time a page in that subdirectory is accessed, then I want to stick that code in an application.cfm. I can pass session information from the root application.cfm, to the lower application.cfm, so I can use the root application to process login information, and set the sessions, and use the lower application.cfm to check for the existence (getAuthUser()) of a logged in user and if that doesn't exist, then pass them back up to the index.cfm of the root directory... Am I heading in the right direction? ~| 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: Application Security using cflogin and cfloginuser
Under normal circumstance, I'd cfinclude the file that contained the login form. When you cfinclude a cfm, you do NOT rerun the Application.cfm. In your case, it's a bit more complicated because you are launching a subwindow via javascript. I hate to say 'Add a hack', but in your case you kind of need to in order for the popup to work. I'd probably suggest, since this is kind of new to you, NOT doing a popup at first. === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc Member of Team Macromedia Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog Yahoo IM : morpheus My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 11:10 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Application Security using cflogin and cfloginuser on 3/17/03 11:49 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: no need to place this check in every page...that's what application.cfm is for.

If I put that code in my application.cfm, and any page requests it, won't it redirect you to the index page, thereby making the whole SITE protected?
