Re: inventory management
We came across this problem...What if, someone was updating info on a product (enternig data into fields and such), and at a random moment, decided to skip to a different product, they want to be able to do it by just simply scanning that other product. We handled it this way 1.Have them press one of the F keys that will call a _javascript_ to focus on the SKU field.Then they scan the item, the SKU number is entered into the field, and _javascript_ submits it.That's basically a 2 step process.Press F Key, and then Scan. Then we refined the process and made it a bit more modular.They press an F key, and this key opens up a little itty bitty window that just has a text field.Then they scan the product, and a new browser window opens up to that product.That way, they can request the product no matter where they are. A few days later we came up with a one step process.Any kind of key input on the browser would be read by _javascript_.if _javascript_ recognizes it as an SKU, then walla!Person just scans, _javascript_ recoginizes it as an SKU and immediately requests the template to query info on that product :-D - Original Message - From: Claude Schneegans To: CF-Talk Sent: Friday, June 25, 2004 4:30 PM Subject: Re: inventory management Can you control where the scanner puts the info it reads or does the user have to position the cursor to the right text box, etc in order for that to work?Just curious. Mosy scanners and bar code readers will simply be connected to the keyboard port, and accept the keyboard as a pass through connection. This way, anything read on the code bar scanner will look to the PC exactly the same as if it were typed on the keaboard, and the keyboard will work exactly as before. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Yikes.So they literally click through the inventory to get to the product?!Crazy!

RE: directory structure when using host headers?
I do the following:
Drive
|_ Domain
|_www
|_com
|_logs
|_ Domain2
Each site is kind of self contained in a folder.I make it so each site can have its own components and I use a CF mapping to give each site it's own mapping, and I also have a global component folder that all sites can access.

Subject: RE: directory structure when using host headers?
I generally work to this pattern
Drive:\Domains\{domainname}\{name}
eg
X:\Domains\website1.co.uk\www
X:\Domains\website1.co.uk\demo
X:\Domains\website2.co.uk\www
Some people go even further so you could represent the sites as follows but
I think it can get a little too deep on structure at this point...
X:\Domains\uk\co\website1\www
X:\Domains\uk\co\website1\demo
X:\Domains\uk\co\website2\www
Obviously, if some hostheaders point to the same directory, then you don't
need the separate directory structures.

Its paramount, I think.I have a user who has a roughly 7000-address mailing list.They get probably 500-750 bounces per mailing (with bad addresses kept for political reasons) and the resulting backwash amounts to a denial of service attack on my mail server. While the validation thing I posted -- which I know is not efficient but is designed to be used by manager-types and not developers -- will catch bad formats it doesn't do squat for correctly-formatted but nonexistent addresses, which is what DDOS's me.

Re: Mailing to email list using CF
At send time, it's just to kick out the bad ones. I don't get it. If you check the addresses first, why check again? If an existing list, just check the format once. There is a udf on cflib.org for that. Done. Then use as normal. If an ongoing list, ALWAYS send an email to it that must be confirmed (link in it clicked) in order to be added to the list. Never just add an address. Even if correctly formatted it might be wrong. Show where you sent it so the customer can see if a spelling error: Thank you. We have sent an email to you at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check your email. You must confirm it to be added to our list. Then you have zero bad addresses (and no real need to even check the format, though I do to point out errors first). The bad ones never arrive in their inbox and are thus never confirmed.

Re: Mailing to email list using CF
I forgot to add, can't a dns check fail because rejected just like spam? Would AOL let you (and spammers) check via dns tons of AOL emails? Maybe technically unable to stop it as you disconnect as soon as connected, but maybe not. Anyone know? BTW, you could download worldcast for free and use their dns check on your list.

Re: Mailing to email list using CF
Hi Stylo, I forgot to add, can't a dns check fail because rejected just like spam? Would AOL let you (and spammers) check via dns tons of AOL emails? Maybe technically unable to stop it as you disconnect as soon as connected, but maybe not. Anyone know? I can give you an idea of what we do to try and keep the email-baddies at bay. DNS itself is harder to check and control than a mail server but the email address style that uses the domain name ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) actually is a wildcard DNS entry (*.domainname.com in the example above) pointing to the mail server and the mail server then works out what the account actually is. So doing a DNS check will not help much in verifying an account other than flagging that the domain name actually exists. On our mail servers we monitor the IP address of every incoming mail server or email client that talks to ours and check the frequency of connection. If we get a burst of many connections in a very short space of time we ban that IP address for an hour then turn it back on again. It doesn't affect legitimate connections and if someone is sending many dozen emails at once (very unusual) then they will eventually get sent in bursts of a few at a time depending on the thresholds used but we have found that illegitimate connections, such as a script kiddie scanning for valid POP accounts, will pick up the banned status and move on to the next mail server in their list and leave us alone. As a Hosting provider we have a very large number of domain names and related email accounts in our system which gives a potential attacked or SPAMmer a rich harvest so we need to keep things as tight as possible. Looking in the mail server's admin interface right now I see just over a hundred banned IP addresses and if we look up most of those they turn out to be at the other end of a DSL connection so are probably personal computers that have been attacked by a trojan horse and are sending SPAM/viruses without the owner knowledge. -- Yours, Kym [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

CD_Static Page can't log in
Any one know a way around this? I have an admin area behind a CFLOGIN authentication.The user updates the database, then we have to create a static page based on the updated data, which is then uploaded to several static sites as a kind of 'poor man's syndication.(those sites are very unsophisticated). However when I run the custom tag CF_StaticPage,all I get as a resulting page is the login screen, meaning that while I might be logged in, coldfusion itself apparently isn't. How can I get around that?I guess I have to change the login code somehow, but I don't know how I can log coldfusion itself in.Am I missing something obvious?

How can we send emails to several thousand of my client's users, a large number of whom are hotmail users? Two things: send selectively and get onto White Lists. For the first option you need to separate out the email addresses by domain name and for hotmail, AOL and MSN, plus others possibly, and send to them in batches rather than a mass in one go. This again can be split up, most email servers will reject too many recipients in one email, AOL is very hot on this, but only some will do the rate-measure technique that I described which is by the number of connections rather than the number of recipients in the one post. The second option is good if you are a legitimate sender of emails. Most of the big organisations have a list of trusted email servers that they will accept emails from without restriction. Getting on that list is not easy, but possible if you are legit. -- Yours, Kym [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
