Calculate the date next Sunday

2003-11-04 Thread Mike Kear
I have a task where I have to insert the effective date of a transaction,
which is the following Sunday, regardless of the day the form is submitted. 

Anyone know of a UDF or other functionality that'll work that out?

If you are using IIS, there is a check box in the configuration that will add a
footer to the bottom of each page.
All you have to do is to create an HTML snippet, and the server will add it
automatically

| Hello All,
|
| This is not exactly a coldfusion question but does pertain to dynamic site.  I
have a site in CF that the client would like to include a standard footer at the
bottom of the page.  This works fine when the content that is returned is more
than once screen in my explorer window at my resolution.

| The problem that I am having is that some of the pages have content that is
returned and it is a little bit less one screen so I see my footer then the
remainder of the screen below the footer which is not what the client wants.

CF5, but the sample application in Chapter 2 can easily be adapted to CF5,

Flash(5) Connector Kit/CF5

2003-11-04 Thread jwh_eq
Good Day,

I have been tinkering with The Flash Connector Kit and CF 5(I said I was tinkering didn't I ;-) ) lately. I have run across a snag that I can't seem to find a solution to on the boards. I am useing the directory example app. I load it up in the flash standalone, test movie, works like a charm. I put it in a browser window, calling it from IE and I get this: 

"A script in this movie is causing Flash Player to run slowly.  If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive.  Do you want to abort the script?" 

I know its been seen before.

Thanks in advance for the help.

RE: ColdFusion workshop - any ideas?

2003-11-04 Thread Mike Kear
Based on the topics you are listing, I'm assuming they're pretty well
educated in web techniques and dynamic pages, presumably by using .asp and
.php or other technologies. 

My suggestion would be to keep the comparisons low key.  Let ColdFusion
speak for itself whether it's better than .asp or not.  For example,  when
you're talking about doing a database query, it'll be tempting to say " ..
and with coldfusion you can connect to a database and do a query with only a
couple of lines of code, rather than the .asp you're used to which you have
to do all this stuff. . " If they know .asp, they'll know how much they
have to write to connect to a database and do a query. If you come across as
overly preaching, they'll turn off.    Just show them how easy it is to do a
query in coldfusion and they'll make the comparison themselves.  And you
wont look like you're trying to ram it down their throats.

Of course if one of the attendees wants to say how easy that is compared to
what they're doing now, I would give him all the time in the world to say
so.

Another thing that'll be tempting is to tell them how great CFMX is, in an
effort to get a movement going to upgrade.  I strongly urge you to hold that
in check too.   If you tell them too many times ".. and with the new CFMX
you can do this  .."   you'll come across as telling them lots of things
they can't have.  A mention of flash remoting perhaps and the easy reuse of
code with CFCs  but keep that low key.   CFMX will sell itself once you get
some of them converted to CF thinking.   I would have thought what you want
to end up with is a whole lot of disciples who love the CF5 they have and
who will start using it.  Once they get immersed in CF, the new version will
happen, as long as you've planted the seed.  If you try to plant a whole
forest, I think you'll  hit a lot of resistance.

Just my thoughts.

When using the xmlTools, look at the sample code that came with it.

You can use the XmlParse function (similar to CFMX's).  You just need to

> it won't count on any cfincluded pages  Can I cfinclude it along with some

are you asking if it works at runtime? no, it doesn't. if i recall rightly,
you have to set it for each file (compile time).

> On a related note, the command above is just explicitly stating the MX
default.  If I have an app that is absolutely not going to be setting any
other char sets up, do I need to do this, or is it just good practice?  The
complete contents of the include are:

good practice as not every editor adds a BOM (nor is it 100% required
according to the definition of UTF-8).

i normally put this sort of thing in application.cfm though i usually don't
bother testing for form submission. don't forget the URL scope.

Cfmx 6.0 and the scheduler

2003-11-04 Thread Sicular, Alexander
So I have a couple of templates that do some admin things that were set
to run daily at 2am. Since the daylight savings time change the
templates run at 1am. Its not a biggy but I would like it to work right.
I checked the server time and that is ok. I even have a page that spits
out now(), I checked the administrator and the neo-cron.xml file and
that also reads 2am. What gives? Which setting do I need to change to
fix this.

UPS XML Rates w/ DRK5 Socket Component

2003-11-04 Thread Igor Ilyinsky
Hi Yall,

For a long time I've been looking for a good way to implement the usage of UPS's XML based rates & service program to calculate shipping costs. In the past, there were so many ways to do this, but they were all too messy or tedious... i.e, not worth the simple functionality I required. There were the custom tags that my host wouldn't let me use, the XML hacks, or writing my own java method to do it. Everyone kept expecting that CFMX would provide a cure but it hasn't.

The bottom line was that CF did not provide a developer with usage of a Raw XML socket over HTTP as CFHTTP would f-up the buffer with all of its headers. Well, now there is a component on the latest DRK that promises to allow the raw XML Socket via the underlying java.net.Socket object. It is called the socket component, and may just be the saving grace here.

So has anyone used it to implement the UPS Rates & Services API? I'd be curious to know if it works, the performance, and how it is implemented. I think if this really does work, it will provide any developer using CFMX 6.1 with a means to easily get real-time shipping rates with very little programming, and for Macromedia, I think this component alone will make buying DRK5 a great value. Furthermore, it promotes using the underlying J2EE functionality to empower your CF app...

RE: List for stored procedure...

I'm sure cf has a function for that, but I believe using a list in a IN clause in a stored procedure requires the use of dynamic sql strings.

They are not. The last character before the at-sign can not be a dot.

RE: SQL for duplicate entries

2003-11-04 Thread Janine Jakim
One way to view duplicates is by using a having clause in your query.  It
means that there's at least one id/something that will help you know that
the record is a duplicate.  An example of this sql is:

 
select emp_ID, departmentid
from employees
GROUP BY emp_ID, departmentid
having count(emp_ID)>=2

 
I had to do this for a database that I took over and didn't feel comfortable
deleting any record until I knew that the one of them was verified as
correct.

Your browser is an HTTP client and an FTP client. If you want to perform FTP
operations from CF, you'll have to use CFFTP instead of CFHTTP.

RE: Viewing client hard drive via web server.

I actually couldn't get it to work in CF either when I tried. That's why
I ended up doing it in ASP.NET. For some reason I couldn't give CF the
right permissions to talk to the other clients on the network.

Viewing directories across a network? 

Yes but different domains.

You can just map a drive letter to
a folder on a system on the network then use cfdirectory. 

Tried that. It won't work.

You need to
allow CF to have admin rights though I believe. I don't know if you
could read a users hard drive coming to your site though, unless you had
a com object written in ActiveX. I could be wrong on that, not sure.

the System.Management namespace in asp.net. I can't remember off the top

Re: Using

2003-11-04 Thread Jim Campbell
If I'm understanding what you want to do, then you don't need to use 
CFHTTP at all.  CFHTTP only retrieves the output of an HTTP request and 
stores it in a variable (cfhttp.FileContent).  If you want, say, two 
frames to actively show an FTP directory in your browser, you only need 
to make a straight FTP call from your code.  You don't even need CF for 
that, unless you want to, say, populate he username/password/FTP 
location dynamically.

To me, an unsupported platform, in the context of my post, is one where 
there is no longer any active work being done to verify/fix/release bugs, 
patches, service packs, errata, etc. I don't mean support as in making a 
phone call to figure out why an installation isn't working.

I believe that up2date will not continue to work on RH pre-version 9 distros 
after Dec. 31.

>IMHO, the way to go is to bet on superior technology instead of

Yes, but superior technology does not stay superior if it's left to wither, 
or, at the very least, if it's put on the backburner.

This I know. However, will the community continue to develop for and release 
RPMs for retired products? Sure, but I doubt it would be at the current 
rapid pace.

However, for the purposes of this list, those other distros aren't 
necessarily supported by Macromedia, which is something you need to keep in 
mind when planning your environment.

What is an unsupported platform anyway? Ever tried to get support from 
Microsoft for Windows? Ever found a bug in Windows and demanded that 
Microsoft fix it? There are plenty of companies that specialize in 
supporting platforms whether they be Windows, Solaris, or Linux, so its

However, RH up to version 9 stops being supported (patches, errata, etc.) on 
Dec. 31, and RH 9 stops in April, 2004. That's not a lot of time. Then what 
happens? You're stuck with a non-supported platform. I'm not a Linux 
developer, so I don't plan on fixing security holes and bugs myself.

I never said Fedora was a bad idea. I did say and will say that it's a bad 
idea to use it as a production server. You may disagree, but I'm not willing 
to bet my job and my business on an unsupported platform. Personal use is 
not the same as commercial use.

This is exactly my point, however I'm not sure I agree with your security 
issues statement. I'm more inclined to argue that the need to constantly 
update my server to stay in line with supported platforms is just a pain in 
the a** and increases the risk of incompatibility with my critical software 
applications. Red Hat *used* to have a moderate release cycle back in the 
7.x days and earlier, but then hit hyperdrive when they decided to developer 
their Enterprise line and turn their regular Linux line into a more 
desktop-oriented product, where the demand for the latest and greatest 
features is much higher.

However, I was noting in my initial post that it was a shame that the 
Enterprise version of Red Hat is now cost-prohibitive for certain shops that 
are on a low budget. Further, with the Novell acquisition of SUSE, costs for 
running Linux in a commercial shop could rise significantly (pure 
speculation on my part). This seems to go completely counter to the whole 
popularity of Linux to begin with: reliable, yet free (at least, as far as 
the initial purchase, not the admin costs).

Well there is just a small problem with the enterprise edition, cost. It is very expensive solution as far as Linux goes. RH Linux 7.* was nice since it was a free download and had all the bells and whistles one needs. Now with Fedora we have not a very reliable version and Enterprise solution is hard to justify as a buy in view of MS server software or other Linux distributions. 

I guess it is time to look through Linux boards to see what the hardcore crowd is saying.

RE: Viewing client hard drive via web server.

I've tried to do this with CF but it won't work. How did you do it?

ActiveX should have done what you needed. I know that a lot of the
online virus scanners and tools are built with ActiveX. Try looking up
the System.Management namespace in asp.net. I can't remember off the top
of my head if you can view a clients hard drive with that or not. I know
I wrote some code to view directories and files on PC's over the network
with asp.net, which you can do with CF as well.

Hi,

I've tried everything from www.planet-source-code.com using ASP and

I thought Active X would do the trick but...

Is there *anything* out there does does what I require?

But if you go to the store RedHat costs what, like $30-$40? Granted the
Enterprise Version is expensive, but you can still buy the boxed version
of RedHat Linux which I'm sure will be as reliable as ever.

Personally I think that the free "proving ground" version is an
excellent idea, it will give users a current, up-to-date version of
Linux while not messing with currently installed Enterprise Level
applications. 

I think that constantly updating and screwing with an Enterprise server
is a bad idea - it opens the door to a lot of security issues. Install
security patches and then wait for the next industrial strength release
of RedHat Enterprise. In the meantime use the free version to evaluate
the new features.

Hello everyone. Okay I got connected to my COM object. I can view individual
server properties or results from methods that are simple objects. What I
cannot do is view the results from a Complex Object Type like the
"search_stuff " variable below. I know there is a CFMX bug that does not
allow the cfdump tag to be used in this instance, but whatever method I try
gives me either the cannot display Complex Objects error message or the
there is no method called Item MX bug (Bug # 44527). I think I can do this
with a loop, but am unsure how to proceed  because I dont know what
delimiters are being used. I have tried to test to see if the object is an
array using ArrayLen and got the following error (Object of type class
coldfusion.runtime.com.ComProxy cannot be used as an array), so that's out.

So i tested the object as a structutre using the isStruct function and it
came back with "Yes".

So then I created a structure loop:


  #place#


and get the good old error (java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: There is no
method called Item.)

So cold fusion recognizes the object as a structure, but cannot, at least in
the syntax I am using display it's contents. 

There has got to be a way to display this COM data in CF.

See my code below for reference.

CF 6.1 Linux and dBase

2003-11-04 Thread Tyler Clendenin
Now this question is quite advanced but if anyone has any suggestions worth sharing, they don't even have to be solutions, just suggestions of where to look i would be most appreciative.

I am writing an app which needs to import data from a dbf and a mdx file quite regularly.  i want to allow the user to upload the two files via a form.  the issue is reading the data.  i suspect the only way for me to do this is to create a datasource for it through the factory.  (if anyone could give me links to show me how to do this i would be appreciative) but then i cannot find any information about coldfusion and dbase.

does anyone know where i can get jdbc drivers for dbase for linux (not sure if that qualifier is necessary).  i have little experience working with linux or with dbase.  so all help is welcome.  once again please help no one ever responds to my questions.

I don't really have any formal documentation handy for this, but you can
pick up any book on web application security and it'll be in there
somewhere. As for whether the cost is justified, it's often hard to perform

This might be ok for internal sites at relatively small locations, but I
really wouldn't recommend it for publicly accessible sites, due to the
performance and security ramifications of having your database server

You have several options. You could clear the checkbox in the CF
Administrator which causes pages to timeout after a set time, although this
would apply to all pages and I really wouldn't recommend it.

If you're using CF 5 or earlier, you can specify a RequestTimeout URL
parameter within the link to the page, and give it a really large value so
that it has sufficient time to run.

If you're using CFMX, you can specify a REQUESTTIMEOUT attribute within a
CFSETTING tag:



The attribute in either case specifies a number of seconds, I believe.

RE: Win 2003 SBS

2003-11-04 Thread Dan Phillips \(CFXHosting.com\)
We have a few clients running dedicated servers with this setup. No
problems to report so far (that they have made me aware of anyway).
Careful running Win, CF, and SQL on the same box though. Load it up with
RAM and keep an eye on traffic.

I am buying a new box to use as a Cold Fusion server. I was thinking
about buying the Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 premium
edition ($1499), since it comes with Win 2003, and SQL Server. Does
anyone have experience with this? Is it a good choice?

Thanks, jeff

  Turn off the Show friendly errors option in IE and try again.
    The error

RE: Query to Stored Proc

2003-11-04 Thread Lonny Eckert
Hi Mike,

I can't answer your question in regard to SQL 2K Enterprise, but if anyone is interested here is how I do dynamic queries in Oracle. I highly recommend that you put dynamic stored proc calls such as these in their own catch-try blocks as erroneous queries will compile and subsequently may even lock up CF. Debugging these things can be a real pain.

Basically the query is created as a string, output through a refcursor.

Subject: Query to Stored Proc

How would you rework the logic in the WHERE clause to get this query put
into a stored proc?
Can you put conditional logic in the WHERE clause inside a stored proc?

SQL 2K Enterprise


SELECT

LEFT JOIN tbl_user U1 ON (O.createUserId = U1.userId)
LEFT JOIN tbl_user U2 ON (O.lastUpdateUserId = U2.userId)
LEFT JOIN tbl_phase P ON (O.phaseId = P.phaseId)
WHERE
1=0
