RE: Access linked tables on UNIX?

2004-07-13 Thread Hugo Ahlenius
Can you use an Access .mdb file on any non windows OS? I thought you
couldn't -- you would be dependent on the Microsoft Jet database, which
is Windows only.

Re: cfc and the application scope

2004-07-13 Thread Greg Stewart
This topic has been covered at great length on the cfcdev mailing list
and you might want to also check out Nathan's CFC best practice page,
I think that may well cover most of your questions:
http://www.dintenfass.com/cfcbestpractices/

 From what I read in an article I located (sorry I dont have it here) - this was fine to do, and I could read/reference the application scope variables directly through my site without having to lock them (as they are used for read only - there is never any writing). Does this seem fine so far? 

As far as I know CFlock is no longer required with CFMX for protecting
reading and writing to the application scope.

 and if so, also reading/referencing them from within cfcs?

If encapsulation is important to you then, no don't reference
application or session scopes directly from within your CFCs. Better
to pass them into the CFC explicitly. If on the other hand you don't
care about encapsulation... then go ahead and reference them.

 
 The other issue (the main one!) is that in my application.cfm file, I am creating my cfc objects within the application scope. eg:
 
 application.objTimetable = createObject(component, #application.components#.timetable) ;
 

I do that all the time.

 The theory being that they are created once and stored in memory for any page to access/utilise at any time - however my concern is are they multi-thread accessible? what other issues are there??

I'll refer you to the Nathan's best practices. There is enough info
there to make your CFCs thread safe.

Hope this helps a little.

RE: CFEclipse question

2004-07-13 Thread Spike
Hi Jean Marc,

Yes, there is a lively cfeclipse mailing list at
http://cfeclipse.tigris.org.

You'll need to sign up on the tigris site first, then you can join any of
the mailing lists on the cfeclipse project.

I'd suggest joining the users list.

A bunch of stuff was added for color coding prior to the last release, but I
don't think we got all the plumbing sorted out.

As far as I remember we took the preference page out before the release, but
I could be mistaken there.

In either case, pop on over to the cfeclipse list and I'm sure we can get it
sorted out.

dynamic insert query

2004-07-13 Thread Brant Winter
 Just wondering how I can go about building a dynamic insert query ???

 I need to loop over a structure and insert the items into another 
 database based on the type of item in the query column.

 The requirement for the looping, is that I don't know how many items 
 will ever be in this structure at one time.

 I have tried to write the loop, but i keep getting errors with the 
 syntax that the loop produces.

Assuming that your structure keys match up with the database fields,
you should be able to loop through the list of keys to build the field
list and then loop through the keys grabbing the value for the value
list.

One thing that you might not be taking into consideration is the type
of variable that you're passing in.Anything that contains alpha
characters is going to require single quotes... do you have a method
in place to determine the type of field based on the field name?

If you do then make sure you're using those rules - otherwise you
might need to rethink how you're storing the data in the structure and
look at a 3-for-1 approach - three keys in the struct for each field,
one containing name, one containing the value and one containing the
field type.

That's just my two minute rambling at 7am - take it for what it's worth ;)

Re: cfc and the application scope

2004-07-13 Thread Raymond Camden
Leigh, someone already responded about cflock, but let me tell you how
I handle application settings and CFCs. As the other responder
mentioned, it is not good practice to directly reference Application
variables inside CFCs. In the past, I used to simply do

cfinclude template=settings.cfm

inside my Application.cfm. settings.cfm would be a set of Application
variables. I'd wrap the include with a check to see if they already
existed.

Now I create a CFC _specifically_ for getting my settings, which I'll
either store in an ini or xml file. I'll either name that CFC
Application or give it the same name as the project. My
application.cfm file will then do

cfinvoke component=cfcs.settings method=getSettings
returnVariable=application.settings

(Again, I wrap it with a check to see if application.settings already exist.)

Now, my CFCs will have the exact same line in their constructor area.
This means they have the same settings values as my code code outside
of my CFCs, but it also means I don't have to worry about passing in
applivation variables.

Re: cfc and the application scope

2004-07-13 Thread Jeffry Houser
Not sure you really meant that you name a CFC Application since your 
code segment references a CFC called Settings but

Since Application is a reserved word in CF (I.E. it is the name of a 
variable scope), I wouldn't recommend using application as the name of a 
CFC (or any sort of variable).

Re: StructKeyExists() vs IsDefined()

2004-07-13 Thread Stephen Moretti (cfmaster)
Barney Boisvert wrote:

 cfset variables.variables.test =  /
 cfoutput
 #isDefined(variables.test)#br /
 #structKeyExists(variables, test)#
 /cfoutput

 isDefined() returns true, structKeyExists() returns false.

I have a fairly major concern with this.Why is isDefined() returning 
true?It should be returning false, as the scope variables has been 
specified as part of the whole variable name. 

The whole point of scoping variables is to stop functions like 
isDefined() going off and doing its own thing.Its should only be 
checking to see if test exists in the variables scope and not whether 
variables.test exists in any scope, including a null scope. 

This would means that scoping is not really taken into account by 
coldfusion, other by pure luck that functions like isDefined() look in 
the null scope first.

If isDefined() is not taking scopes into account, does it keep going 
until its checked all scopes or does it stop searching when it hits the 
first occurance?

If I'm using StructKeyExists() I need to check whether the struct that 
I'm checking in exists before I check for the keys existance as it 
throws an exception if the struct doesn't exist, so I would have;

cfif IsDefined(variables) AND 
StructKeyExists(variables.variables,test)

or even;

cfif IsDefined(variables.variable) AND 
StructKeyExists(variables.variables,test)

or;

cfif IsDefined(variables) AND StructKeyExists(variables,variables) 
AND StructKeyExists(variables.variables,test)

Ok - so this example is exacerbated by the improper use of a scope name 
as a variable name, but hopefully you see the point that because you 
have to use isDefined() to check to see if your struct exists before you 
go looking for keys in the struct you are already scanning through all 
the scopes to find your struct.The above examples are probably made 
even worse by the fact that you should check to make sure that the 
variable you are about to treat as a struct is actually a struct and not 
a string, to avoid another exception. (Incidently, found an instance of 
a string being referenced as struct in the Spectra source)

Anyway, all of this brings me back to :
Given that I've specified a scoped variable, why is isDefined() still 
scanning when it should just be checking one instance? [One for Sean me 
thinks ;) ]

Given all the additional work that surrounds using StructKeyExists(), 
does this function actually give you any benefit over isDefined() when 
used in the context ofdoes this variable exist?? I think the answer 
really is no.When used in the context of I know this variable exists 
and is a struct, does it have this key? then obviously yes it does.

 Do cfset variables['foo.bar'] = 42 / and then try
 isDefined('foo.bar') vs structKeyExists(foo,'bar') (the latter will
 fail *before* calling structKeyExists() because foo is not defined as
 a variable).

Ahem... isn't this wrong, just plain wrong.
I understand what is happening here, but it means that variables.foo.bar

variables['foo.bar'] and CF is letting people create variables with 
invalid characters in their names.It all too scary to contemplate really.

Re: Linux OS authentication

Thank you for all of you help.Hopefully this will be my last question.
So the first step is I give the directory with all the CF pages to the Unix admin and he figures out how to compile them into Apache, right?

Final question:
How do I pass the username and password to Apache to do the authentication?

SOT: PDF Remote Printing

2004-07-13 Thread Candace Cottrell
As Critz would say... Oi Cf-talk!

 
I have been, once again, volunteered to make something work that no
one
knows even if it can work.

 
We have some fillable PDF forms on our external site. The powers that
be want me to add code into these forms that will make the form print on
one of our printers here in the hospital.

 
The PDF's are on our WEB server, hosted here in-house.

The forms are filled out in random places across the county or across
the state. 

The people filling out the forms are not connected to our network.

The hope is that they can click a submit button and the form will
print out on a HP Laser here in the hospital.

 
I have fooled around a little with the print command in Acrobat 5, but
the dialog
pops up asking which printer I want to print it to. 

Is there any way to bypass that dialog, default it to this in-house
printer, and execute the print command?

 
*How do I get into these things* ;)

You tell the Unix admin I need webdir X protected by an 
Apache/PAM authentication module. You can point him to 
http://modules.apache.org/search?query=truesearch=PAM to pick a 
module that is suitable for you Apache/Linux versions.

Re: cfc and the application scope

2004-07-13 Thread Rick Root
Raymond,

I don't understand the value of your solution... you're setting the 
Application.settings from your Application.cfm, which loads them into 
the application scope... then you are doing it again in the constructor 
of the CFC, and assigning them to the application scope as well, which 
will overwrite any existing application scope variables.

So it seems like you're still referencing the application scope 
variables within the CFC, although you are loading them multiple times 
for each CFC you load.

Also, you mention that you do this so you don't have to pass in 
Application scope variables, but Application scope variables ARE 
available to the CFC with no problem, so you don't have to pass them in 
anyway.

I guess I'm just looking for a little more explanation as to why you 
can't simply reference the application scope variables once they are 
already initialized, because the CFC doesn't store its own version of 
the application scope.

the time

2004-07-13 Thread Daniel Kessler
I have to record a time in a DB.It would seem that I'd do that with 
createTime.I have just a few simple questions.
In the Oracle DB, do I make a date field as usual and populate it 
with yr/mo/da = 0,0,0 and then insert the createTime variable in one 
block?Is there maybe a time type for a field? (I suppose not). 
IOW, how is just time, where no date is needed, handled?

outputting variable

2004-07-13 Thread Robert Orlini
I have a form where the from variable is incremented dynamically if there is more than one occurrence of the same field. 

The input name looks like this: name=qty#i#. 

The #i# is a number that increments according to how many fields are needed. In this instance, if I have more than one item, then the quantity field would be qty2, qty3, qty4, etc. 

How do I carry over this field as a form variable to the next form on a submit? 

I tried: #trim(form.qty#i#)# but it does not work. Somewhere I read the Evaluate function my help.

Thanks.

Re: the time

2004-07-13 Thread Deanna Schneider
If you're using 9i, there's a timestamp datatype. Not supported in 8i, of
course. So, you'd have to do a work around. Whether you store phony dates to
go with your time, or store your time in a varchar2 column depends on what
you want to do with your time. I'd _guess_ that if you don't have a date
relevant to the time, then you're not going to be treating it as a _real_
time (i.e. not doing time math and stuff like that). In which case, I'd
probably store it as a varchar2.

If I've follow what you are asking, and you want the form variables to

like this.

cfloop list=#form.fieldnames# index=thisFieldName
cfoutput
input name=#thisFieldName# type=hidden

/cfoutput
/cfloop

If you're on cf5 or less then you probably (because I can't remember if

the value field of the input rather than the structure reference :

#evaluate(form.thisFieldName)#

2 == 1.3
2 == 1.4
 
 All of the above are true -- what could be more clear?:)

I don't know what the heck you're learning from, but that's all kinds of
wrong.Here's a sample class:

public class test {

public static void main(String[] args) {
runTest(1, 1.0);
runTest(1, 1.1);
runTest(2, 1.2);
runTest(2, 1.3);
runTest(2, 1.4);
runTest(2, 1.5);
runTest(2, 2.0);
}

private static void runTest(int i, double f) {
System.out.println( + i +  ==  + f +  =  + (i == f));
}

}

And the output it generates:

1 == 1.0 = true
1 == 1.1 = false
2 == 1.2 = false
2 == 1.3 = false
2 == 1.4 = false
2 == 1.5 = false
2 == 2.0 = true

Which is exactly as you'd expect.

OT- SQL backup question

2004-07-13 Thread Eric Creese
I back up my transaction log with the following script. How come after the script runs (successfully), the .LDF file is still large and not smaller? I thought when you backed up the file it is completely truncated thus freeing up space?

BACKUP LOG AVPhoneLookup

Re: the time

2004-07-13 Thread Janet Schmitt
Post 8i, use timestamps.

If you are Oracle 8i or earlier, you should probably use a date field.

Here are two options:

1.Use to_date('10:10','HH:mi') to store the time in the Oracle 
database.This will insert the current date in the date portion but you 
can retreive the time using to_char(date_field 'HH:mi');

2.Use to_date('01/01/0001','MM/DD/') + :hour/24 + :minute/1440to 
store the time in the Oracle database.This will allow you to add/subtract 
time and get the time difference in fractional days.To retrieve the time 
use to_char(datefield, 'HH:mi').

Hope this helps.

Janet.

block?Is there maybe a time type for a field? (I suppose not).
IOW, how is just time, where no date is needed, handled?

CF to BD inconsistencies

2004-07-13 Thread Ken Ferguson
I've just started moving some stuff over to a server running BlueDragon
(free version) and I've found a couple of inconsistencies...

Anyone know why the following code works fine in CFMX but not so well in

query column. valcol cannot be evaluated to an integer value.

cfset selected = iif(listfind(ivalue,iquery[valcol][x]),de(selected),
de())

Here's the call and the function:

select
#request.ff.in.select(tBillToState,qShipToFormData.tShipToState,qState
,tState,tState,)#



cffunction name=in_select returntype=string 

output=false hint=returns an html select list

You can't reliably know if a visitor blocks cookies. Your method mill

the cookie isn't sent to the server, not why it wasn't sent. 

If you have client or session management enabled, looking for the cf

auto populating and relating 3 selects

2004-07-13 Thread Greg.Morphis
I'm working on a site where the users wants to relate 3 select drop downs.
Basically the user selects from the 1st drop down, this populates the second and then from the option they choose on the second, this populates the third.
Back when they only needed 2, I found the CF_TwoSelectsRelated more than adequate but this cant accommodate 3.
Are there any tags which can do this, if not, does anyone know of any sites or other resources that can explain how to do this with js and cf?
Thanks!

RE: Unusual behaviour with CFHEADER

2004-07-13 Thread James Smith
OK, that fixed it thanks.

This does bring up a question however, I was under the impression that when
sending files it was the browser that interpreted the mime information and
loaded the appropriate program.

Secondly, when uploading an xls file to the server it is reported as being
application/msexcel on both of our systems and if you use
accept=application/vnd.ms-excel on the cffile it will fail (I know this
because this is done on a different section of the site involving importing
values) and this is why I was using the other mime type.

I am convinced that this is all Microsoft's fault. ;-)

I'm pretty sure you'll need either Java or ActiveX to do any image

It looks like someone else is trying to suggest this as the problem, but I'll try to be more explicit.

Your from address has a top-level domain of .net.Your mail server has a top-level domain of .com.You say that your mail server is set not to relay.What that essentially means is that only addresses from the same domain as the mail server will get sent out, unless you have added specific domains to the accept messages from list.

The error message you're getting (not a gateway) suggests that your mail server can't send addresses from the .net domain.Either change the from address or add the from domain to the list of domains that your mail server will accept outgoing messages from.

Subject: auto populating and relating 3 selects
To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm working on a site where the users wants to relate 3 select drop downs.

Basically the user selects from the 1st drop down, this populates the
second and then from the option they choose on the second, this
populates the third.

Back when they only needed 2, I found the CF_TwoSelectsRelated more
than adequate but this cant accommodate 3.

Are there any tags which can do this, if not, does anyone know of any
sites or other resources that can explain how to do this with js and
cf?

Thanks!

Re: Coldfusion Web Image Editor

2004-07-13 Thread Jerry Johnson
The types of functions you are describing need not be client based.

You could do this by just selecting an area of an image (a fairly easy dhtml or flash function), then submitting the results to the server with the imagename, function and select area.

Most of the cf image tags can handle the crop or resize.

Then return the result back to the browser, along with a restore button, and even a history list of steps taken from the original image.

Just a thought.

I'm pretty sure you'll need either Java or ActiveX to do any image

Here's a nice looking ActiveX image editor... fairly cheap (100 euro for

RE: Unusual behaviour with CFHEADER

2004-07-13 Thread Mosh Teitelbaum
Jay:

When the server sends files to the browser, it is the server's
responsibility to include the file's Mime-Type.Whether or not the browser
accepts this (it should) is up to the browser, but the server always returns
a Mime-Type.MSIE has been known to ignore the Mime-Type returned by the
server and to instead try to figure out the file type on its own by looking
at the file's extension and the first few bytes of the file.

When a browser sends a file to the server, it is the browser's
responsibility to include the Mime-Type of the file being sent.The server
is supposed to rely on the browser-supplied Mime-Type.Coming from a
Windows-based system, it is entirely possible that the browser is sending
over application/msexcel instead of application/vnd-msexcel as the
Mime-Type.This would be Microsoft's fault 8^).

In general, whichever party to the connection is sending the content, it is
that party's responsibility to also specify the content's Mime-Type.For
more information on HTTP take a look at the preso I gave last year:
http://www.cfug-md.org/meetings/ColdFusionFoundationsHTTP_09-09-03.ppt

 Secondly, when uploading an xls file to the server it is reported as being

 accept=application/vnd.ms-excel on the cffile it will fail (I know this
 because this is done on a different section of the site involving
importing

 I am convinced that this is all Microsoft's fault. ;-)

How to display coldfusion code in a text area

2004-07-13 Thread Mark Drew
Hi all
I want to display the following code in a textarea box of a coldfusion page:

!--- some comment ---
cfparam name=attributes.content type=stuct

My mind has gone a blank this afternoon, I wanted to simply display
the code rather than it being processed by CF

would I do it in _javascript_ (split out any offending bits) ?? or is
there a simpler way?

Thanks in advance

design when converting a PPT to a webpage, there is a good product
that forces a fair amount of accessibility. Here it is:

Yes, this is exactly what we do. We have a DHTML front end which allows you
to select an area of the image, which talks to a JSP back end which uses
java classes to do the heavy lifting. Works beautifully - gives the server a
lot of work though.

The question makes sense. I'm not so sure about the position of 
your Unix admin :-)

If you just need to authenticate users, it might be easier to tie 
your Apache directly into PAM using the auth-pam module. That is 
pretty much the equivalent of the way WIndows Authentication 
works with domain accounts and IIS.
If you need to retrieve details like the groupname from the user, 
you will have to write something to interface directly with PAM.

Hey All,

First, I'm posting this for a friend, so my knowledge is a bit limited.

My colleague is trying to gauge how much interest there is in a ColdFusion

and Crystal Enterprise Integration widget/web service/consulting. What he's

explained is, that if you can do it in ePortfolio or the Crystal Management

Console, it can be seamlessly integrated into your ColdFusion apps. No need

for ASP or CSP. He also claims to be able to do this from CF4+ integrating

with

CE8+. I believe he is also working on a FuseBox implementation as well.

I've gotten some tips from him on one of the projects I'm currently working

on so I am completely confident in his ability to do what he claims.

Is there anyone needing/wanting these functions/capabilities?

Thanks in advance for the responses.

Well you have to start with that value...

if you're willing to resort to regular expressions in _javascript_, it

filename = document.forms.myform.fileupload.value;
