RE: JOIN help
Cedric, I didn't examine the query too well in the first place. The outer join doesn't work because of the filter on the table you want nulls in. I would suggest a UNION instead of an outer join.

Ideas needed! Password protect a file download.
Hey everyone, Very soon I'll need to set up a system that will let users download files. The users will need to be logged in, so I'll be checking for a username and password before I let them download the file. The part I'm not sure about is protecting the file itself. I want the file to be protected so no one can brows to it by http. Someting similar to download.com, where the file just starts downloading automaticly would be great.

Re: Ideas needed! Password protect a file download.
What you need is cfcontent tag. Set standard security in application.cfm file. Once user is logged in create a page under application.cfm control called download.cfm. In that file place cfcontent tag set for the file you wish user to get. User selects what he wants from index.cfm and gets redirected to download.cfm where download of his choice starts automatically.

Opinions: Where to Save data for both public and logged in users
I've got an existing site for a large, day festival.The system has three types of identification: 1) SessionID - ID stored in a non-persistent cookie.We store clickstreams (page visits), for example linked to the SessionID. 2) ClientID - ID stored in a persistent cookie.We store, for example, UserAgent stats and group SessionIDs with ClientID. 3) UserID - ID stored in database, but only available when the visitor logs in.All personal information (address, name, etc) is linked to the UserID. For general users log in is not at all mandatory (right now it's only to receive a monthly newsletter).People are generally not used to logging into the site. All of this works fine.Forget, for a moment, the fact that people may disable cookies. Part of the site is a Planner allowing people to mark certain events within our festival and later see them as a personal schedule.In past years this information was always cookie-based: one browser, one plan. This year I'd like to store that data in the database (at the very least this will allow us to perform statistical analysis on the data).It would also be nice to offer storage of the plan as a perk to those who sign up (this also means that the plan would be available on multiple machines). I'm a little (well, a lot) confused by this.I'm wondering what others would expect from this kind of system. It's simple enough to say If not logged in, link the plan to the ClientID, and it's simple as well to say IF they log in link the plan to both the ClientID and the UserID - or just Link the plan to UserID. But if they come back and add events then log in (so there's a current plan and another linked to the UserID and THEN log in what should I do? Replace the current one with the one linked to the UserID?Combine the two? When a signed-in user logs out should I then delete the plan from the current session (meaning they'd have to log in to see it)? If I do maintain ClientID AND UserID what should be done (if anything) about multiple computers? Should it be different the first time?Our sign up is of the we'll send you a password in an email type so they may not be able to log in immediately upon signing up.So should I say If there's a plan linked to the ClientID and NONE linked to the UserID copy it when they sign up, otherwise use only the UserID plan. If I ignore the ClientID plan when logging in that would mean that two people using the same computer could make different plans (linked to unique UserIDs) but that any changes made when NOT logged in would be lost. In short... I'm confused.;^) Any thoughts?I've got no problem actually building any of this: it's the expected user experience that's concerning me (so I suppose that also makes this an off topic post... sorry) Jim Davis [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

RE: Compensating for Server Time
there is a great little cfc @ cfczone.org that paul hastings whipped up that does some timezone work.best way, is to use _javascript_ to get the time of the browser, set that timezone offset as a cookie on the users browser, then access that with the cookie. whatever you call it variable name in cf, and do the time changes that way.i had to use it extensively on our site, www.navtrak.net, since we have clients whose vehicles report in other time zones than where our servers are located, on the east coast. so, if you have any other questions i can probably help. tony -Original Message- From: Jochem van Dieten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2003 3:55 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Compensating for Server Time Chris Montgomery wrote: What's the best way to compensate for time on a server in a hosted environment when the time is set to a different time than a user's local time zone?

Directory, download and cfmail attachment issues
Hi all, We have just moved from Windows to Linux, and CF5 to MX.This move brought a whole host of unpleasant issues with it, mostly having to do with our download process. 1.Does anyone know of a really good zip tag that works with Linux?I loved Ben Forta's cfx_zip on Windows, but can't find one that robust for Linux.Specific problem:I can't find one that will unzip a specific file in an archive that has a zipped folder in it. 2.We store our design files in a non-browser-accessible directory, and then create a zip file in another temp non-accessible directory after purchase.I'm using cfdirectory to create this directory.Most of the time it works, but sometimes for no reason that is apparent to me, it doesn't.(Yeah, as I wrote this I realized that I needed to do a different thing with error handling here, so maybe next time it happens I will get a clue.)Meanwhile, does anyone know why this would happen?It can work sometimes for a particular user and not others. 3.When everything else has worked so far, and the customer's zip file has been created, they can choose download or email.I'm using CFHEADER NAME=Content-Disposition VALUE=attachment; StitcheryMall.zip CFCONTENT TYPE=application/x-zip-compressed FILE=#zipname# deletefile=yes for the download.In our testing, this worked acceptably.It does indeed download the proper file, and for all of our tests (except with Opera), the file ended with .zip.We have customers saying that they are getting .cfm or no extension.Any ideas? 4.When they select email, we use cfmail to=#user.email# from=#me# subject=Stitchery Mall Files spoolenable=no cfmailparam file=#zipname# type=application/x-zip-compressed blah blah blah /cfmail Spoolenable is no because the next thing that happens is that the file gets deleted, and if it is yes, half the time it gets deleted before the message gets sent.The problem here is also the file name.People are getting all sorts of things - and they have forwarded them to me.Generally it is a good file, but often with a .dat or no extension.Any clues here? 5.Some customers are reporting corrupted files.Could this be an issue with the zip tag, or is it more likely part of the download/email process?I suppose it could also simply be their way of reporting a bad file extension. I appreciate any help you can give me.I'm almost too busy sending out files to customers to actually fix anything!

Thanks Jochem, Tony, Tim, Novak, et. al. I'll look into your recommendations. I should have clarified the situation a bit more, however. The database is MS Access (for now; will probably upsize to MS SQL server soon). I want to keep this is simple as possible (because I'm a simple person). I am going to assume that the user's time zone is always local because my client's business is local. So, in effect, I need only subtract one hour from the server's time for any transaction (storing appointment times, mainly). I guess I could set this as a constant in a request variable in the application.cfm file and then use that for the current time from then on. Would that seem feasible?

CFMX JRun Servlets - Help!
I'm attempting to setup a credit card gateway (Worldpay - select pro, java) which requires some servlets to operate.Basically I'm having trouble setting them up to run on the version of JRun that comes with CFMX, can anyone offer a basic tutorial on what/how i have to configure on the server to achieve this.I'm running CFMX 6.1 on a Windows 2000 Server if that helps.I don't really want to install another servlet server such as tomcat etc.. since I already have JRun and have heard of others managing to configure it for similar purposes. Thanks in advance. Will [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
Re: CFMX JRun Servlets - Help!
Heya Will, Are you running Enterprise or Standard? Unless you are running Enterprise, then you can't use the included JRUN server to serve anything but Cold Fusion templates... or thats what I understand anyway... What problem are you having, are they license violation errors? bye Monday, November 17, 2003, 2:48:24 PM, you wrote: WB I'm attempting to setup a credit card gateway (Worldpay - select pro, java) WB which requires some servlets to operate.Basically I'm having trouble WB setting them up to run on the version of JRun that comes with CFMX, can WB anyone offer a basic tutorial on what/how i have to configure on the server WB to achieve this.I'm running CFMX 6.1 on a Windows 2000 Server if that WB helps.I don't really want to install another servlet server such as tomcat WB etc.. since I already have JRun and have heard of others managing to WB configure it for similar purposes.

Inserting rows into a 2d array
Hi all, Need some help with inserting rows into a 2d array. As an example I populate an array with values cityName and LocationID from a query. I then need to insert a new ROW between row 4 and row 5. In essence shifting rows 5 and below down one row. I'd thought of appending to the array, then using ArraySwap to move all elements down one row (need to keep elements in order), then using ArrayInsertAt to populate the new row at row 5. This seems like such an inefficient way. Any suggestions? Thanks, Doug [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: Very vague error message
1000+ lines of code in a single CF template seems a bit excessive for starters.
