not wishing to encourage this, but i blogged about MT back in june. there's
a list of MT offerings in that entry ("machine translations? bah humbug")
that might be of help:

You may be able to select "Other Server" during the CF install when it asks you what web server you're running. You may also be able to get the CF installer to think that you have IIS 5 instead of IIS 6 - I remember reading about doing something like that with CF 5 (you might search for CF 5 and W2K3, instead of searching for CF 4.5.x). It doesn't matter which version of Windows Server 2003 you use, though - they're all the same as far as installing CF.

I would agree mostly with this though I don't really concern myself with the tiny TINY percentage of paranoid people who turn _javascript_ and cookies off. I don't go out of my way to support Netscape 4 either, for that matter. I just thought it was cool that the DHTML Menu Builder app actually makes DHTML menus that WORK in NS 4 =) > And to tie back to the original topic of conversation, that means showing > NS4 users a textarea full of HTML is perfectly legit, while the IE6 users > get soEditor. Granted.. my two CMS solutions both use the non-beta version of htmlArea so if they're using IE 5.5+ for Windows, they get it, But I am looking forward to being able to tell my Mac-friendly customers that they don't have to switch computers anymore to edit their sites. =) Someone else suggested that they don't design for Netscape. That's fine, neither do I. But I don't design for IE either. Hell, I'm a programmer... I do mostly backend stuff anyway.

RE: Training ColdFusion "newbies"
Hi, Peter... Know of a tutorial online that could teach me how to do this part? "building a search engine that highlights keywords of their search result anywhere in the search results. They even decided to change the "highlight" to BOLD text with a yellow background." Rick -Original Message- From: Peter Tilbrook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 2:38 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Training ColdFusion "newbies" Hey there fellow developers! I've just completed a three day "crash course" for training total ColdFusion newbies in the art of what we all know and love - CFML. Squeezing in eight years of CF experience in three days, making it interesting, making it fun, is quite tough. The two 'victims' were Centrelink (www.centrelink.gov.au) employees (26,000 employees Australia wide - pretty big) who had no web application development experience - at all - but at least knew about HTML (thank you lord). They were more the Visual Basic types - but very smart. 1. Pretty much on day one I walked them through what ColdFusion is, where it came from, the long path travelled, where it is headed, why the hell am I still using it, etc. They will be stuck on CF5 for a while so it was hard not to spurt the virtues of just how good MM made CF with RedSky. 2. Day two was probably more boring as there was a less "hands-on" approach as I tried to explain key issues like application security, code optimisation, coding practices, FuseBox (example) as a framework, state management, etc. Now these guys never really had to worry about "state management" so it was a challenge. The discussion of "race conditions" was interesting to say the least. I was hoarse by the end of the day at any rate. 3. Day three I decided to make it more interesting by declaring "I will not write a single line of code". You will - but I will sit by your right and explaing what to write, why you are writing it, and how it works - and brag about "yes CFML is easy to pick up given time". On this day my two "newbies" added to the application* I built on day one - some cool features like creating a "register new user" which included input validation (email address is valid etc), dynamically creating MSSQL 2000 database tables, sending email in CF (easy peasy with MX) and building a search engine that highlights keywords of their search result anywhere in the search results. They even decided to change the "highlight" to BOLD text with a yellow background. >>Whew! It was tough as I had never had to train anyone before. ColdFusion - being such an accessible language - made it easier. Thank god they are still on CF5 so I did not need to go into web services or ColdFusion Component - but they were mentioned. UDF's however got a special mention as noone at Centrelink seems to have... Nope. I will not be critical. I really like CF and it was great to introduce another two into it's intoxicating world. With a few more tweaks (and more computers than my own which I had to drag in from home) I could be on a roll. I'd also like to mention that CF-Talk got a special mention (as did House of Fusion itself), Ben Forta "What, did he write this book too?" (yep! he sure did - here are a few (4.5+) I no longer need), Dave Watts - from FigLeaf - not Dr David Watts who will be appearing at MXDU 2004 (www.mxdu.com) and Charlie Arehart (New Atlanta) for Blue Dragon.

RE: News Feed Recommendations
One last comment... Searching on Google for: site:moreover.com +categories Turns up a whole bunch of (in my opinion) outdated pages. All of the old, original category pages, pages that still say there are "free feeds" available, etc. It's almost like Moreover decided to start charging for feeds, changed their home page and left the old site still active in the background. There's plenty of links that are 404's but plenty of links that work. It's very interesting that they can just go ahead and change the TOS and say "we're now a pay service". What about all of those people out there who have apps that still use those feeds?

NS 4.7 supports CSS (very buggy support, but support nonetheless) .class is fairly good # ID is very poor I remember being able to set left and width so, depending on the information that may work. I haven't worked with NS 4.7x for a long time and I don't have a copy with me to test it out. I have some problems (IIS crashed) that has trashed my development box for the last few days.

Netscape's OLD rendering engine used by the 4.7x and prior browsers simply will not render a table until the full table has been received. And if it's a table within a table, it won't render until the OUTER table has been completely received. In the old days when I was building a lot of "community" web sites for newspapers and such using the technology provided by the now bankrupt dot com that I worked for (koz.com), it got really obnoxious because we'd built templates using tables that wrapped the entire site.. so NOTHING would load until the whole page had loaded. We actually coined a term "VLT" = Vertically Loading Template, in which we separated the header table from the table that held the body and left/right branding areas. At least the top part would load immediately, which meant the BANNER ADS would load immediately =) You know, banners ads, those things that were supposed to make everyone billions back in 1999. I'm not sure there's much you can do to speed up the rendering on a Netscape 4.7 browser unless you actually split the table... ie, load 100 rows, then end the table and start again... but if you did that you might still consider CFFLUSHING the data... dunno, here's the docs for that tag: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/5.0/CFML_Reference/Tags30.htm For what it's worth, newer versions of Netscape do NOT have this problem.

RE: News Feed Recommendations
Just a quick follow up... I just read the TOS on MoreOver.com http://w.moreover.com/main_site/aboutus/terms.html It clearly states that: 1.3. The Service is a fee based service and is only available to organizations that have entered into a license agreement with Moreover. So that's pretty much that. If you want to use the "freely available" feed you're supposed to pay for it. Very strange why they left it so available to the public.

RE: News Feed Recommendations
Very interesting... I used them back when it WAS free. Several months ago I had a different project and went back to moreover.com but couldn't find the feeds. I ended up using a different source instead. Yes, it certainly is interesting that the page is still available (for all to find via a Google search). The feed page does say that you agreed to their terms of service. I didn't read their TOS but you're probably right... I'm sure it probably says something about having to pay for it (shrug). Still, I find it very strange that they'd even offer it they way they're offering it. You'd think some form of authentication would have been implemented if they didn't want to give it for free. Maybe that would have broke too many existing apps? Who knows.

RE: text editor for content manag. systems
I generally take the approach that in IE6 (about 90% of our market), sites should kick ass. In IE5.0, Mozilla and Safari (about 9%) it should be fully functional, attractive, and easy to use, but not necessarily posessing _all_ the bells and whistles. For NS4 and everyone else, it should be functional, and no more. Same goes for CSS and JS. Functional with out them, but if it's ugly hard to use, that's perfectly acceptable. And to tie back to the original topic of conversation, that means showing NS4 users a textarea full of HTML is perfectly legit, while the IE6 users get soEditor.

I agree with Novak. Netscape is a waste of time to design for. I'm all for one standard, one platform... it's a pain to design for all these browsers... so I don't anymore... just waiting for Netscape to fully go away...

Re:text editor for content manag. systems
Rick: How and where do you draw the line? I mean, how far back do you go in suporting old browsers and how do you know when to stop? What's the criteria? I think this is a legitimate question that every developer faces at one time or another. I'm interested in hearing other people's opinions. irv >Dan Farmer wrote: >> But you never will be able to support 100% of your visitors, no matter you >> do or how many hours wasted trying to do it.

Netscape's OLD rendering engine used by the 4.7x and prior browsers simply will not render a table until the full table has been received. And if it's a table within a table, it won't render until the OUTER table has been completely received. In the old days when I was building a lot of "community" web sites for newspapers and such using the technology provided by the now bankrupt dot com that I worked for (koz.com), it got really obnoxious because we'd built templates using tables that wrapped the entire site.. so NOTHING would load until the whole page had loaded. We actually coined a term "VLT" = Vertically Loading Template, in which we separated the header table from the table that held the body and left/right branding areas. At least the top part would load immediately, which meant the BANNER ADS would load immediately =) You know, banners ads, those things that were supposed to make everyone billions back in 1999. I'm not sure there's much you can do to speed up the rendering on a Netscape 4.7 browser unless you actually split the table... ie, load 100 rows, then end the table and start again... but if you did that you might still consider CFFLUSHING the data... dunno, here's the docs for that tag: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/5.0/CFML_Reference/Tags30.htm For what it's worth, newer versions of Netscape do NOT have this problem.

RE: Best Practices
Im not sure if this is possible, but I would try to separate the content from the presentation. For example, if you placed all of your content into a struct (perhaps from a database) you could just output the same thing. Something like this: #PageContent[CurrentLanguage].Phrase1# #PageContent[CurrentLanguage].Phrase2# #PageContent[CurrentLanguage].Phrase3# Changing CurrentLanguage changes the content immediately no ors, buts or s. Of course this means that youll be doing a lot of structure setting but then your content is completely separate. If you need to add another language, for example, you can just by changing the content files.

BabelFish down ?
Hi,
I was using the BabelFish translation for a project
at my company and noticed it is throwing an error
stating it's down.
Error:
Could not perform web service invocation "BabelFish"
because AxisFault faultCode: {

Our connection to the Altavista BabelFish site has been cut.
This service will remain down indefinitely until an alternate translation engine can be found.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Question. Does anyone know of a similar service that

Re: Help with Netscape 4.7
Yikes...no CFFLUSH docs eh.what version of CF (Ithink CFFLUSH became available in CF 5...but mabye 4.5) See below: interval = "integer number of bytes"> Description Flushes currently available data to the client. Category Data output tags, Page processing tags See also cfcache, cfheader, cfinclude, cfsetting, cfsilent Attributes Attribute Req/Opt Default Description interval Optional Integer. Flushes output each time this number of bytes becomes available. HTML headers, and data that is already available when the tag is executed, are omitted from the count. Usage The first occurrence of this tag on a page sends back the HTML headers and any other available HTML. Subsequent cfflush tags on the page send only the output that was generated after the previous flush. When you flush data, ensure that enough information is available, as some browsers might not respond if you flush only a small amount. Similarly, set the interval attribute for a few hundred bytes or more, but not thousands of bytes. Use the interval attribute only when a large amount of output will be sent to the client, such as in a cfloop or a cfoutput of a large query. Using this form globally (such as in the Application.cfm file) might cause unexpected errors when CFML tags that modify HTML headers are executed. Caution: Once you have used this tag on a page, any CFML function or tag on the page that modifies the HTML header causes an error. (These include: cfcontent, cfcookie, cfform, cfheader, cfhtmlhead, and cflocation.) Using the cfset tag to set a cookie scope variable causes an error. Cookie errors can be caught with the cfcatch type = "Any" tag. Other errors can be caught with cfcatch type = "template". Using the cfflush tag within a cfsavecontent tag (if the cfsavecontent tag has content) causes an error. Note: Normally, the cferror tag discards the current output buffer and replaces it with the contents of the error page. The cfflush tag discards the current buffer. As a result, the Error.GeneratedContent variable resulting from a cferror tag after a cfflush contains any contents of the output buffer that has not been flushed. This content is not sent to the client. The content of the error page displays to the client after the bytes that have been sent. The following example uses cfloop tags and the rand random number generating function to delay data display. It simulates a page that is slow to generate data.

How hard can it be? It is not fundamentally different from using
ResourceBundles.
In the long run being able to recycle strings from the PHP and
Perl code would be a huge advantage. And for this particular
application it is very usefull that partially translated
languages don't crash and burn ;-)

Maybe not so much the editing as being able to read it.

RE: ColdFusion Blog App from Macromedia DevNet Resource Kit V5
So, Heidi, I think you asked for feedback, but instead you got caught in a crossfire of insults between developers. None of which I am willing to bet has even used Blogman. I have used it and have some feedback... 1. There is no spot in the config.XML doc to specify a mail server, so it relies on the default (if there is one). I added an option to include one per blog. 2. Multiple people can contribute to the same blog, and they all have equal control. While I'm not sure that any two people will need to contribute to the same blog, if they did... there is no reason for them to be able to step on each others toes. Also, makes the multi-accounts feature useless. 3. There is no mention of securing your XML files. Some of which (config, users, emailsub, commentsub) if browsed to will reveal all user accounts and other sensitive info. 4. It is not immediately intuitive that you must create a category to begin blogging. I'm not sure that a category should be required, as most Blogs are general. 5. Without re-engineering it, It was difficult to set up blogs for multiple people without making duplicates of the entire app. A better architecture would be: -Blogman - App Files (CFCs) - Master Admin - Blogger Admin ? blogger_id = xxx - Blogs -Blog1 -Blog2 -Blog3 To give my opinion. I love the apps that come with DRK because they are current and relevant... And when some Senior Manager with no clue about technology says "Hey, can you build me one of those blog applications" I can say "Sure" without telling him what I really feel. They also provide me with a (usually) well architechted platform to build on top of... and are a great resource to beginner developers.

Help with Netscape 4.7
Hello All, I have a client that uses Netscape 4.7 over their corporate lan and they access certain reports in an application that I had built for them. Unfortunately upgrading them to IE is not an option. The problem I have is a certain report produces a table, and depending on their criteria it can be a very long table (even 1000 rows) where IE will display the info to the screen Netscape chokes on it. What happens it that Netscape appears to be not responding, but actually if you walk away and don't touch the PC the table will eventually appear. I know that Netscape does not display the table until it is finished loading it completely, so I thought I would try instead of displaying rows I would display one row tables instead, this is not working out either as I am having a hell of a time getting the columns to Line up. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Mike [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

RE: MLS cfc or custom tag.
Dwayne, As a former Realtor I can say that MLS is private data. (Although I haven't had my license in a while) As far I knew, only licensed Realtors we're allowed direct access to that data. (And even they pay a monthly fee). MLS being populated by Realtors themselves has to remain private or else no one would need the Realtor. You could just do all your searching online and contact owners directly. Then you get into the gray area of 'Should the Realtor receive their percentage if they didn't bring the seller and the buyer together?' I _can_ say that the national MLS system that Realtors use is CF based. (It's slow as crap though) However, if you do discover a service or anything they are offering to the public, I'll gladly help in writing a CFC.

RE: UTC and daylight savings time...
Tony, Do you mean that you add an hour if the date you're trying to convert exists BEFORE the time change? Because that's the real issue. If the transaction takes place at say 12pm during DST it's going to be off an hour if you check the same transaction at some point in the future when DST isn't in effect. I think the real solution here would be to look at the date being converted and determine if it falls in DST or not... then convert accordingly. I was just hoping that someone out there (read: Macromedia) had already taken this scenario into consideration and delt with it accordingly. -Novak -Original Message- From: Tony Weeg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 11:19 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: UTC and daylight savings time...

well i finally figured out how to easily use "native" java resourceBundles,
managing the translations without something like rbManager was becoming a
huge pain, though the ease of use of simply opening notepad to edit utf-8

RE: 5.0 Development Practices
None of the new stuff really makes for better applications, just makes for more options and more efficient programming. You could write well-designed applications without spaghetti code in CF3 and you can write the worse spaghetti garbage in CFMX. Just depends on the developer. If you're looking for something to improve programming methodology with CF specifically I would suggest looking at Fusebox (http://www.fusebox.org). It's one option for organizing code. Some people don't like it because it's rigid, but most developers, particularly new ones, require a rigid framework to keep from writing spaghetti. I personally use Fusebox on every new application I write and find it to be much better than the non-Fusebox apps I have to maintain. You may also find it helpful to read about programming methodology in general, for which I would look at books like the following. Their OOP books but the concepts of encapsulating and organizing related code can be applied to anything. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201485672/qid=107160/sr=2-1/ref= sr_2_1/002-1364468-2643230 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201633612/qid%3D1071689033/sr%3D11-1 /ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/002-1364468-2643230 HTH, Sam --- Blog: http://www.rewindlife.com Charts: http://www.blinex.com/products/charting --- > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 1:35 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: 5.0 Development Practices > > Hi all, > > I'm fairly new to CF and I've just started an Application > that will run on a Coldfusion 5.0 server. > > So far from all the resources I've been reading (net and > books) I'm beginning to get pretty annoyed at its lack of > 'features' compared to CFMX 6.0/6.1.

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to CF and I've just started an Application that will run on a
Coldfusion 5.0 server.
So far from all the resources I've been reading (net and books) I'm
beginning to get pretty annoyed at its lack of 'features' compared to CFMX
6.0/6.1. So far as I can tell CF Components, CFFUNCTION etc are only
available in 6+, and I keep coming across occasions when use of that sort of
functionality would be pretty beneficial!
At the moment, my application is very 'spaghetti' code-like, with CFINCLUDES
all over the shop. Is there any way round this in CF 5.0 (and don't say
upgrade!)?
Cheers,
Rob

UTC and daylight savings time...
While we're discussing best practices today I have a quick question regarding time zones, UTC, etc, etc. I believe that the preferred method of storing dates and times in your database is in UTC. I have no problem running all of the servers in the UTC time zone even. >From there it's a question of what's the best way to convert the UTC back to the user's local time zone. My practice has always been to use _javascript_ to determine the user's time zone offset and use that to calculate their local time from the UTC. But one problem I foresee is after a time change (spring forward, fall back). Pretend for a moment that a transaction occurs on February 22nd, 2004 at 12:00pm If I look up that transaction on February 25th the time will still show 12:00pm. But what happens when I look up that transaction on May 1st, 2004? My time zone offset is now different by an hour. So, theoretically, the transaction from Feb 22nd will no longer return 12:00pm... It will be incorrect by one hour. Does the built in ColdFusion function(s) account for this? Or would one have to use some other method to ensure accuracy? We already know DateDiff does some quirky stuff... So that's what got me thinking about this scenario... On a different note... A completely different solution might be to calculate the user's local time on the fly and store it in the database record at that specific moment in time. Of course this has it's own set of issues too... -Novak [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Re: Logging out on session expiration under MX
No, it doesn't seem to be that. I am really baffled at what's going on. This app is based on modded version of FB 2. My index.cfm includes app_globals.cfm app_globals.cfm has this block: _login.cfm has the security validation stuff. I set the session expiration to be really low, 3 minutes. When I refresh the page or do anything else in the app instead of being redirected to the login screen I get errors related to missing session variables, as they had expired - which should be caught in the app_globals.cfm (as the session.loggedin var has expired as well), but it isn't. - Original Message - From: S. Isaac Dealey Hi Stas, Make sure your mx server isn't using a uuid for cfid/cftoken... I believe when this is the case it only uses the one variable, and so your cfif statement would return false when either one of the isdefined() returns false and your cookies wouldn't get reset to log the user out when the browser closes. That's the only thing that comes to mind for me at the moment. hth [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
