Re: ot: distinct count query; mssql2k
No doubt there's a SQL way to do it, in which case it'll be better than my suggestion but you could loop through the results of your count query (it wont be a big database call - you only have 20 records to loop through) and run separate queries for each value of field1.

RE: ot: distinct count query; mssql2k
How about a subquery in the select list: select top 20 field1, COUNT(field1) AS Expr1, (SELECT whatever FROM something WHERE blah...) as TheNewField FROM ... If your DB supports it, this means the text-type column doesn't have to be grouped. [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
RE: SQL Server dropping zeros
SQL Server should in no way drop zeros in a VARCHAR field - what is the SQL you are using to enter the values? _ From: Stan Winchester [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 October 2004 22:58 To: CF-Talk Subject: SQL Server dropping zeros I had the strangest thing; I've got a varchar field in a SQL Server 2000 table that stores zip codes. When we import the zip codes leading and trailing zeros drop off when inserted, for example: 07080 will become 708. I thought what if I increased the field length from 10 to 12 (for zip-4), and for the insert I could add a leading and trailing space like this ' 07080 ', and guess what? The zeros did not get dropped. I thought what a stupid fix! What have others done to get around Microsoft telling me I don't need the zeros?

Re: free web design?
One of the great truths of this web business is that no matter what you charge, there is always someone going to be willing to do it cheaper. Often (as in this case) a LOT cheaper. Thats why you have to sell VALUE not PRICE. Get them convinced that it's not just the amount of money you pay to the developer that counts, but the overall effect. If they're going to set up a retail store, do they go looking for the absolute cheapest shop to rent? Do they set up a shop in the cheapest slum or do they also look for other factors - neighbouring shops, traffic, atmosphere of the neighbourhood. Do they just buy second hand shop fittings or do they want the store to look nice and welcoming to the customers? Similar arguments apply to web sites. Do they want the cheapest they can get regardless? or would they rather have good value - sites that do what they want, are professional in appearance, not just cut-and-paste copies of other people's sites. I know it's not easy, but that's the only way to get around competitors who sell on price. Look at all the people who have managed to make arguments like this work: Microsoft, BMW, Nikon, Boeing, Compaq, IBM, Xerox to name a few. They all sell products at higher prices than their competitors. If you ask them they'll tell you it's the name that people buy, but I dont believe that. It's what the name represents - "I'm buying from someone who knows what he's doing" The price merchant is going to say "I'll do it just as good as him, and cheaper" and whether you win over him or not, will depend on how well you can convince the prospective customer that it's not "just as good". (and then feel happy that when this price guy competes for business he has no where to go when someone else comes around saying "I can do it even cheaper than him, and just as good".

Handling common access to pages and images for both http/https pages?
Before I go off in the wrong direction on this, I figured I'd see what others are doing... I'm building a couple of simple secure (https) pages on my site using the shared certificate provided by the hosting service (Crystal Tech). The URL that they provide point back to the same root that the rest of the website uses. I haven't had to do much in the past with https pages, and what I have done was the result of a lot of fumbling around. My pages all use a couple of common INCLUDE files for the top and left nav areas, and onrequestend.cfm for the bottom nav area, which include references to images and (obviously) other pages on the site. When I render the pages that are being called via https, I need for all external references on that page to be https, right? Otherwise the user will get warnings from the browser about mixed pages. What I'm thinking of doing is having the application.cfm look at the current url to see if it begins with "http" or "https" and then save that in a variable, and change all of the references in the INLCUDE files to use that reference. The kicker is that I don't want to have to use full "http://www.mysite.com/page.cfm" or src="" references to the rest of the site, because that makes it a royal pain when I want to copy the files to/from a testing area, because they would have those hard coded references to the production site in them. What about references to external pages that reside on other sites? Can I do that from a page that was called via https? I don't think I can use a link like "https://www.weather.com" on my https page! Does that mean that all references from my page have to remain within my site? All advice and hints appreciated!

no end date
I have a calendar of events. All events have a start date/time, but many of them don't have an end date/time. I can work around this by setting an obviously incorrect end date and checking for it (i.e. 12.17.66, my wife's birthday). However, I'd prefer to not set a date if there isn't one and check for that instead. So, what's the proper way of having no end date in the database? Also since this is editable information, I may have an entry with a date and need to set it to null or "no end date" so any suggestion should take this into account.

Using CFLOGIN framework to show certain info and not otherwise
I have an app where the client wants his customers to only see prices and "add to cart" icons if they're logged in. They'll see the "public" version of the site, with product images and descriptions only until they log in, then the pages will also show pricing and the links to add to the shopping cart. Also the shopping cart will be initialised when they log in. I can write my own security framework, but I want to understand the CFLOGIN stuff thats built into CFMX. All the examples I've seen for that are where entire pages or directories are barred from people who aren't logged in. How would I do it, using the CFLOGIN framework? Here's what i have done so far ... I have a folder called "Clients" where I hold the login procedures, also the lost password and update profile stuff, and the login page sends the user back to the site home page after logging in. That all works ok. And the same system also validates the client himself and grants him access to the admin area of the site. How do I handle the price column in the display tables? In my homegrown system, I'd just do something like: #price# How does it work where we want the page to display to people not logged in, but only certain parts showing to logged in users? I've tried but that doesnt work. Also a few other combinations around the getauthuser() function but nothing I've tried is the right thing.

Error - You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table...
I'm getting the following error:
You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table tblTerm.
I have a form with that is inserting records into the various tables and there's a one-to-many relationship between the tblterm and tblbilling tables and there is referential integrity turned on. All the tables are inserting fine but the tblbilling table, which generates the error above.
Here is my insert code:
INSERT INTO tblMasterClients
(clientname, aliasname, infinity, svctype, acctstatus, siteid, authcode, pobox, poboxcombo,
did, secdid, faxdid, eighthundreddid, faxext, url, prepareddate, terminationreason, terminationdesc,
inactivedate, commencementanni, comments)
VALUES
('#Form.clientname#',
'#Form.aliasname#',
'#Form.infinity#',
'#Form.svctype#',
'#Form.acctstatus#',
'#Form.siteid#',
'#Form.authcode#',
'#Form.pobox#',
'#Form.poboxcombo#',
'#Form.did#',
'#Form.secdid#',
'#Form.faxdid#',
'#Form.eighthundreddid#',
'#Form.faxext#',
'#Form.url#',
'#Form.prepareddate#',
'#Form.terminationreason#',
'#Form.terminationdesc#',
'#Form.inactivedate#',
'#Form.commencementanni#',
'#Form.comments#'
)
INSERT INTO tbloccupants
(clientname, occname)
VALUES
('#Form.clientname#',
'#Form.occname#'
)
INSERT INTO tbllegaladdr
(legalname, legalcontact)
VALUES
('#Form.clientname#',
'#Form.legalcontact#'
)
select [client name] as clientname
from tblbillingaddr
INSERT INTO tblbillingaddr
([client name], billingcontact, billingemail)
VALUES
('#Form.clientname#',
'#Form.billingcontact#',
'#Form.billingemail#'
)
INSERT INTO tblterm
(clientname, agrdate, agrstatus)
VALUES
('#Form.clientname#',
'#Form.agrdate#',
'#Form.agrstatus#'
)
INSERT INTO tblbillinglimits
(clientname, conffreehrs, confrate)
VALUES
('#Form.clientname#',
'#Form.conffreehrs#',
'#Form.confrate#'
)
INSERT INTO tblbilling
(lf, pcp)
VALUES
('#Form.lf#',
'#Form.pcp#'
)
What's the magic required to insert the data into tblbilling? Do I need to get the ID from tblterm and add where clause to the insert query?
Thanks!

Re: Using CFLOGIN framework to show certain info and not otherwise
There is no simple way to say if a user is logged in, but you can
check to see if getAuthUser returns a value. If it returns an empty
string, you are not logged in. I typically build a UDF like so:
function isLoggedIn() {
return getAuthUser() neq "";
}
So, to display prices for logged in users, you could do...
#price#Please login to view prices
Note: You may think that a better name for the UDF would be,
isAuthenticated. However, when Macromedia removed the Advanced
Security functions (one of which was isAuthenticated), they made a
"hook" for the old functions. This means you can't use a UDF with the
same name as the old AS functions.

index pdf
Good Monday morning, I have developed a spider for our site to collect links for indexing, the list of links is then looped and cfhttp is employed to get the content. We parse the tags out of the html pages and put the content into a table for a later query and into a Verity collection. I would like to include our Adobe .pdf and Word .doc files in our index. I would like to index the .pdf and .doc documents during the looping because the content is binary and is not easily parsed. I believe Verity will index .doc and .pdf pages, correct? Does anyone have a code sample that performs indexing on a pdf / doc file? Currently I am using: extensions=".pdf"> But it does not appear to be performing the indexing. TIA!

I just installed MSql 4.0 on my Win2K machine. I started it from the command line and opened another DOS window and did some querying. I want to create a database but I do not have administrative rights as my user. How can do I get these rights and cna I simply just log on as the SA (SQL2K) equivalent. ?

Re: User to upload to their site
I agree. FCKEditor is pretty good and works with most browsers. I found a possible restriction in that the string buffer or content you put it is not really unlimited. It may simply be a _javascript_ issue or restrictions with string buffer. To see what I mean, enter large content. even though it states it was successfully updated in the database, it's cut off when u view it. in SQL server, the field is defined as nText type so it should fit. I've reported it to them a couple of weeks ago, but still haven't heard from them. anybody else found this out?

Do you have a character cutoff limit in your datasource defined? If so, that's probably the problem. >I agree. FCKEditor is pretty good and works with most browsers.

nope. nada I just tested it for overflow conditions on my codes and just happen to notice this that's all.

Yet Another Simple Regex Q
I have this regex which works splendidly:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I want to make it so the string has no less than 6 and no more than 60
chars, but if I plug in {6,60} it seems to either error out or keep
the regex from working no matter where or how I place it.
What am I missing? Ben's regex book either doesn't talk about this or
I can't find the reference.

Strange query "bug" still in CFMX
Still using CF5 at my work, and using CFMX6.1 at home, I was a bit astonished this issue came up also in CFMX6.1? What causes this behaviour? I cannot imagine it is truly a bug, but I cannot figure out why this behaviour is in CFMX? When you loop over two query resultsets, the second nesting often cannot handle it's parent variables, despite it has been referenced with the query name, could someone enlighten me? The output this code gives is, and qryRootnodes.cultureid doesn't give the correct data back unless it is set into another variable, here set in culture_4225 - should be 4225 culture_4225 - should be 4225 culture_4225 - should be 4224 culture_4225 - should be 4224 SELECT RC.instanceid, I.Label, RC.cultureid, RC.handle FROM RootnodeConfiguration RC JOIN Instance I ON (I.instanceid = RC.instanceid) WHERE RC.departmentid = #session.departmentid# OR RC.userid = #session.userid# EXEC dbo.upu_Instance_GetChildren @ParentID = #session.domaininstanceid#, @ObjectType = #Request.Object.object_Culture.type#, @SortField = 'Label' culture_#qryRootnodes.cultureid# - should be #test# [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Re: Strange query "bug" still in CFMX
There's only one query-based psuedo-scope. So if you're inside two query loops, you can only dereference variables using the query name for the inner query. If you want access to the outer query, you have to either assign the columns to variables, or store the current row, and dereferece them with the full queryname.columnname[row] syntax. I'm not sure if it's a bug or it was intended this way. However, I do think it ought to change. cheers, barneyb On Mon, 4 Oct 2004 20:37:59 +0200, Micha Schopman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Still using CF5 at my work, and using CFMX6.1 at home, I was a bit astonished this issue came up also in CFMX6.1?

Strange problem.
Can anybody give me a hint why we are getting this error? "The string "COOKIE.CFAUTHORIZATION_dev-infoweb" is not a valid ColdFusion variable name." I can see the problem; "dev-infoweb" has an illegal character, just as the error tells us. "dev-infoweb" is the name of the website where this code lives. But, why is the block trying to set this cookie for this website in this way. And if it needs to do this, why don't other websites "dev-mobilecalendar", "staging-mobilecalendar", "dev-cps", etcetera on the same server not cause any problem using basically identical code?

OT: Directory Opus 8 released
I just wanted to pass along word that GP Software have released the latest edition of Directory Opus, aka DOpus, at their website http://www.dopus.com/. In skipping revision numbers from v6 to v8, DOpus has gained a vast amount of flexibility for viewing and managing different document types. Some of the highlights include: * Powerful File Manager & Explorer Replacement * User-definable File Display Views * User-definable Toolbars, Menus, File Types * Advanced built-in Image and File Viewers * Built-in ZIP and Advanced FTP * Visually Synchronize Files & Find Duplicates * Advanced Search and Rename Functions * More Configurable than any other program * Easy Slideshows...and much more.. It also has new image manipulation support for resizing and converting images, can send files via email, can automatically change the settings of the current window depending on the type of files contained including showing media meta data (think camera settings on images, etc), etc. Possibly the best thing about DOpus is that almost everything is configurable - all menus, toolbars, etc, etc. I suggest taking a look at the website (http://www.dopus.com/) to get an idea of what is possible, then download the 60-day evaluation copy for a trial-run. One thing I just realized is that one of the new features, the so called "flat view", opens up a directory structure in a similar way to Dreamweaver (or OSX) in that the directory structure is shown. What's cool about that is that you can open up a second window and connect to your FTP site... with the local directory listing everything you can select files from anywhere in the directory structure, hit the copy button and you will be asked if you would like to copy the files to the root of the destination directory or to re-create the directory structure! It is this last aspect that recreates Dreamweaver's nice 'n easy site management functionality. Want to make it even more powerful, open in dual-lister mode and you can recreate DW's dual-pane site manager. Nifty!

OO seems to have 2 eyes :)
OO (two) eyes is definitely better than one, probably in most cases, the following seems to demonstrate that. FYI, the test code is run under an app with session-enabled. Find a structure's key/value pair Note: an interesting thing about OO is that it is "spatial", for instance, the "internal" function may be placed below its caller while the traditional structured programming can't.

Re: Dreamweaver Templates..?
Yes, that's a documented "feature". Dreamweaver templates are not something to be recommended, if anything for the simple reason they don't offer anything that can't be done without them and tie the current (and future!) developers to Dreamweaver. That's a biggie, right there. My 2 cents. >Sean Corfield wrote: > >I've seen (with DWMX, not used them with MX2004) where it would fail to >update pages associated with templates correctly and fairly regularly >too.

Text driver for MX?
Hola - We've got some old user-administered text databases. Pipe- and comma-delimited and such. We're upgrading from 4.0 to MX on this box, and I can't figure out how to keep the datasources intact for these users. We'd previously use the Intersolv/FoxPro drivers to talk to flat text files, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent for MX. Does anyone have any suggestions or insight?

Re: Dreamweaver Templates..?
> I don't see how using Templates or Library Items can be any faster than using includes from the beginning, but your mileage might vary. This is how I find library items useful at least for HTML sites: I use library items for certain items I want to have consistent during development but know will change just before site launch. For example nav bars: Home | Products | About Us | Contact I place the library item on all pages. If the client wants to change "About Us" to "About" or change the graphics used for the rollover images, I change the library item once and the change is made on all pages containing that library item throughout the site. Just before launching the site, I go to each page, detach the library item and on the Home page, remove the link to home; on the Products page, I remove the link to products, etc. In other words, during the development I can easily keep the styles and verbiage consistent across pages and only need to deal with removing the links (so pages don't link to themselves) at the end. Yes, I still have to eventually deal with each page individually but I only do that once. Unless you're using some fancy server-side logic, you can't do this with SSI or cfincludes...and again, I typically do this with straight HTML (not CFM) sites. - Regards, Bob Haroche O n P o i n t S o l u t i o n s www.OnPointSolutions.com [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
