Stored Procedures in a CFC
Hi there, I have a SP wrapped in a CFC. The SP returns two record sets, which i use cfprocresult to reference. How do i then return the 2 queries via the CFC?

RE: Stored Procedures in a CFC
Good question, I believe you will have to enter the two resultset objects into a single CF complex object (such as a Structure) and return that as a single value. -Original Message- From: Andy Jarrett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 March 2005 09:01 To: CF-Talk Subject: Stored Procedures in a CFC Hi there, I have a SP wrapped in a CFC.

Skins in XML forms
There is a lot of information in the new help files in CFMX7, but i havent been able to find out how to tinker with the skins of XML forms. Specifically, what files I need to tinker with. i've found a file called blue.xml for example, but that seeems to refer to the specs of the 'blue' skin for charts. (also the fact that it's in the folder c:\cfusionmx7\charting\styles) I know I'm bound to regret this, but can anyone tell me which file represents the xml form 'skin' and in the xml file, and where the css file goes in a css defined skin? -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: MSSQL TEXT datatype problem with CF
Did you ever try storing the files in an Image data-type? I'm not sure, but I would guess that would not require the files to be converted to text before storing them. M!ke -Original Message- From: Jared Rypka-Hauer - CMG, LLC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 12:12 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: MSSQL TEXT datatype problem with CF Yeps, you have to enable CLOB retrieval and set a max buffer size to get this to work. Actually, I'm guessing you've might have CLOB turned on already and just not have the buffer set high enough. It's rougly max record size in kBytes. Otherwise it will cut your result off. I had to do it when I was storing PDFs converted from Binary to base64 as long-text strings in a DB table. It worked pretty cool, but only if I had the buffer jacked up to about 1.5MB. Turns out that 30MB of PDF files take up roughly 195MB of space in the DB when encoded and stuffed into a long text field in SQL Server. Then I'd grab the one I wanted and use cfcontent/cfheader to return it as an attachment or inline. Cool test of the technology, but a big consumer of DB space (unless you've got pretty specific needs... a waste.)

RE: Stored Procedures in a CFC
I use structures to pass back multiple things from functions, but I'm not so sure you're right about not using an array. An array maps to the cfprocresult's resultset attribute(as it could equally to it's name attrib) but with the array you don't need to know the name used only the number of the resultset. I hope that makes sense, I've just had a not so powerful power nap and I tell ya, it hasn't done anything for my thinking just this minute. Ade -Original Message- From: S.

Re: cfscript functions in CFCs
cfcomponent cfscript function myFunc... return resultVar /cfscript That method nets function myFunc not found. It's been a while since I've played with CFC's, but from what I remember, that should work. Are you calling object.myfunc()? That method gets me a variable myArg is undefined message, curiously enough referencing the cfreturn line of code. It seems the argument passes muster when it enters the function but can't be called in the return call? IIRC, cfscripts always error at the last line of the function, or the first line of the script if it's not a function.

RE: cfscript functions in CFCs
Thanks for playing around with this, Jared.
In your experiments did you try calling test.getCGI() from within a second
cfc as well? (temp.cfm creates test1.cfc; test1.cfc calls test.getCGI() as
part of its processing.)
If that works for you my difficulty may be a difference between BD and CFMX;
my life would be simpler if I could talk my way into a second MX license...

This also works:
test.cfc
-
cfcomponent
cfscript
function getCGI(cV) {
try {
return cgi[cV];
}
catch (any cfScriptError) {
return cgi;
}
}
/cfscript
/cfcomponent
temp.cfm
cfdump var=#createObject('component','test').getCGI('server_name')# /
cfdump var=#createObject('component','test').getCGI('')# /
The first one outputs w2ksrv1 which is the server name of my dev box.
The second one does a cfdump of the CGI struct.
I was messing around with using various if statements to detect cV,
and the try/catch worked immediately. structKeyExists always
recognized that cV existed, even when it wasn't passed in. len(cV)
threw an error because it tried to access a variable that hadn't been
set. I haven't worked with function definitions in cfscript enough to
be sure exactly the best way to declare a default value for one...
but that snippet ran just fine.

RE: cfscript functions in CFCs
Well this syntax is invalid -- if your psuedocode is accurate... You can't declare a function within a function. Or that was what I thought You're right - my function-within-a-function code block caused an error on CFMX server. It does seem like a pretty silly idea after having it pointed out... Curiously, no error was thrown (related to the nested function) on the BlueDragon box we use for a few internal apps. And it turns out my real problem was a stinking typo - one that I missed time and time again even while specifically looking for typos. I'll just slink off into my corner...

Re: MSSQL TEXT datatype problem with CF
No, I didn't... but that's a great idea. I was using the long-value columns in SQL Server because the site I was doing needed secured storage for the PDFs (they're fairly private contract documents - high but not mission-critical security needs) but thru the host at the time I didn't have access to any folders outside the webroot. So rather than mess with the ISP, I just stored them in the DB... and it worked great. Access was actually faster than it is on the new ISP's server using cffile action=read even though I was moving 1.5MB of text out of the DB and converting it from base64 data back to binary and then to string data. However, the new ISP only alotted 50MB of data storage in SQL Server and did provide a context on the web server that basically puts the webroot of the site inside my FTP root, so I had to pull the PDFs out of the database and put them in a directory. It's a little easier to work with, but it's not quite as fast. I'm not sure why, but I never looked at a proper BLOB field, just a CLOB field, for storing the PDFs. Maybe I just latched onto the first idea I had. Other than the size of the files in the database, though, it worked amazingly well.

Re: Stored Procedures in a CFC
I would do it differently (then returning a struct/array with both recordset). Please give comments/suggestions/whatevers as I'm just thinking out loud. In essence, your SP returns two recordsets which don't hold the same data, they could be related but they are not the same. Why not create two methods for your CFC each returning one of these recordsets. They would both use another private method which would run the SP and then store its results in private variables. It would also ensure that the SP isn't run again and again if it's been run recently. Two me that's better encapsulation. The Application doesn't have to know how the CFC gets the recordsets all it knows is that by calling either of the methods it will get back the data it needs. -- Marc ~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:197245 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

RE: Stored Procedures in a CFC
Well, If the method called can call one proc and is returning two record sets which are required - sure they are not calling the same data sets but they may be required - and one hit to the DB is better than separate calls - if there is certainly good reason and better performance over your idea I would be happy to try it out!

Re: OT: Migration from Sybase ASE 12.5.1 to SQl Server
Isn't it annoying how you can search for an answer for days, then post a request to the list, then find the answer no more than an hour after requesting assitance? Invariably, I find this to be true. Maybe we should call it the Natural Law of Abundant Answers. It means that there are always answers available to any given question, and those question/answer pairs are stateful, can exist in any venue, and have a 1-n relationship (Q1-An). However, those answers only become available once the context of the question question matches the context of the answer (Qc=Ac), because to pair up they must exist within the same context... So if you don't know the answer, busting your tail to find it is a waste of time because until the context of the question matches the context of the answer they will not connect. So once you've publicized the question, the answers are immediately availble, even if they aren't delivered via the same conduit by which the question was asked, simply because by asking, the Qc has been matched to Ac, and therefore your new asking methods are able to locate A. Then again, I'm a geek, and I tend to think like a geek. ;) Laterz, J On Mon, 28 Feb 2005 09:46:15 -0500, George Abraham [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Whoops, Let me answer my own question with this URL: http://www.ispirer.com/doc/sqlways38/Output/SQLWays-1-317.html George On Mon, 28 Feb 2005 09:22:48 -0500, George Abraham [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All, We are trying to migrate a database from Sybase ASE 12.5.1 to SQL Server 2000.

Licensing issues aside (since we'll assume they're good there) then their home box gets hosed. PITA, but not much impact on the business. My point has nothing to do with impact on the business. You stated that anyone running an unprotected SQL Server was an idiot. I took issue with that, and provided a counterexample. It's as simple as that. And I'm still not convinced by your counterexample. While MSDE is certainly fundamentally SQL Server (and now officially named that in the 2005 product editions) the original point was that leaving your SQL Server wide open for TCP/IP access was an idiotic thing to do. And on a ColdFusion list, clearly from context we're talking about the SQL Server(s) interacting with the ColdFusion server(s). (I will make that clear next time ;) I think the main value of the MSDE counterexample is as a reminder that you need to secure your SQL Server against both external threats (e.g. locking down TCP/IP access) and *internal* threats that avoid or circumvent the externally-facing security measures. If Joe Homeuser picks up Slammer on his Visio-installed MSDE, that sucks for him -- but if Jane Sysadmin hasn't protected the internal systems from such a scenario then she's probably on the way to clean our her desk. How is this any different than the corporate education about opening attachments (bad) and phishing (bad)? Most people, I'd put forth, *do* know that the internet isn't all that safe and they should be running a firewall. WinXP SP2 finally has it builtin, for gosh sakes. While most people may know that they should be running a firewall, I doubt very much that most of these people even know what a firewall is. And when their system pops up a little message saying do you want to allow traffic from [socket 1] to [socket 2], they'll click the OK button in many cases even if they don't know the import of their actions. And again, your analogy with corporate education about attachments just highlights the idiocy of our industry - we find it more efficient to train untold thousands of people not to double-click something, rather than design a safe system in the first place! If we built cars, we'd tell people don't drive downhill because the brakes don't work, rather than just fixing the damn brakes. How idiotic is that? I think we both agree that it's idiotic as an industry that we have to deal with anti-virus software, spam filters, spyware, worms, phishing, and the like. It's hard to claim otherwise! But we've got the systems we've got -- if your car *doesn't* have brakes and you say to yourself Well, it should have breaks so I'm going to go down this hill anyway. It will be the engineers' fault! you are pretty foolish. If you however attach a parachute to the back of the car to slow you (or do a Fred Flinstone with your feet to stop) you've at least hedged your bets. Actually, I think the answer to your question is yes, you did have something happen to you that was completely avoidable and probably deserve it. You chose to keep your door open when they're a high likelihood of attack (we're comparing to the security of the internet, remember). You have a peculiar way of defining deserved. To think that's the result has been earned by your actions? That you merited the attack? (a few definitions just to make sure I'm using the word in a normal fashion...).

RE: Stored Procedures in a CFC
I'm not sure about others, but I was talking about the call to the function that contains the two resultset SP. No matter how many layers you put between the SP call at some point you need to call a function that will run that SP. The cfstoredproc tag will return both queries regardless, you could construct the function to return one of the callers choosing, but from a simplistic approach returning both in either an array or a structure seems more useful. The point I was making was that you either reference them as: function()[1] and function()[2] or: function().resultsetOne and function().resultsetTwo one, the structure, exposes more about the function than the other, the array. I understand what you're suggesting in your post, something like: component getData SP resultset1 resultset2 /SP return resultset /getData getFirst return getData().resultset1 (or return getData()[1]) /getFirst getSecond return getData().resultset2 (or return getData()[2]) /getSecond /component But within getFirst() and getSecond() you still need to decide how you call getData and access the two resultsets, struct or array fashion.

Hey Paul...
Here's the latest test. :) Note that in test.cfc, I've got both
CFINVOKE and createObject() styles of accessing the second CFC... they
both work just fine. I used one, then remarked it out and used the
other too and figured I'd leave them both in as examples.
temp.cfm

cfdump var=#createObject('component','test').getCGIVar('server_name')# /
cfdump var=#createObject('component','test').getCGIVar('')# /

cffunction name=getCGIVar
cfargument name=cgVar type=string default=

cfset var cVLocal =
cfinvoke component=test2 method=getCGI
cV=#arguments['cgVar']# returnvariable=cVlocal
cfreturn cVlocal /
---
cfreturn
createObject(component,test2).getCGI(arguments[cgVar])/
/cffunction
/cfcomponent
test2.cfc
-
cfcomponent
cfscript
function getCGI(cV) {
var cVlocal = '';
if (len(cV)) {
cVlocal = cgi[cV];
} else {
cVlocal = cgi;
}
return cVlocal;
}
/cfscript
/cfcomponent
I think it's worth noting that since test.cfc is calling
test2.getCGI(arguments[cgVar]) and cgVar is being created in the
cfarguments of test.getCGIVar() with a default value of , I was able
to dispense with the try/catch and use an if... sort of speaks to
Facade patterns, doesn't it? My need to always supply an empty
argument is hidden by my public API.
Kinda neat.
This was a fun, if simple, excercise... thanks Paul!

In your experiments did you try calling test.getCGI() from within a second

If that works for you my difficulty may be a difference between BD and CFMX;

Re: MSSQL TEXT datatype problem with CF
Indeed... I could tell. I ran an export of the DB into a local replica sans the PDF column... the data file went from 198MB to 4MB. Twas a telling test. But still... there are situations where eating up disk space with a DB data file isn't a waste so much as a cost. The point was mostly just that a) it could be done and works nicely and b) the perceived performance of reading 1.5MB of text out of a database and converting it back to the right format was FASTER (by quite a bit, actually) than using CFFILE and a folder outside the web root. I say perceived performance because I didn't actually do any performance testing... I refer to user experience. The DB-driven solution returned activity to the user's screen faster by a second or two than the CFFILE version doing basically the same thing. That, considering that cffile is reading from the local hard disk and the DB solution was over-the-wire to a busy SQL Server, is actually quite the fascinating factlet.

Re: access w username and password..
That doesn't really matter. So long as you're using the right username/password combination, it'll work fine even if you have access credentials in both places. Sometimes it's a matter of going into CFADMIN, getting it all set up so it works, then stripping the creds out of CFADMIN and using them in your datasource. I usually use the DSN to hold the credentials, though, just because I'm too lazy to add them to every... single... query... But, there's no rule... do it how is most comfortable and makes the most sense.

(OO) UI in CFCs
I'm starting this topic to get peoples feelings on the subject. Do you use CFCs for UI? Do you have a good reason to do so? Do you see a reason to use it (or not) vs. CFINCLUDEs or CFMODULEs? According to commonly discussed practices in the community (and in part of the Macromedia docs), UI elements should not go inside of CFCs. According to the Macromedia CFC examples, UI can go inside CFCs. According to the makeup of the CFCOMPONENT and CFFUNCTION tags, the ability exists explicitly (the output attribute). According to many of the OO books I've been reading, there's no reason for UI not to be within an object. ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

I could tell. I ran an export of the DB into a local replica sans the PDF column... the data file went from 198MB to 4MB. Twas a telling test. But still... there are situations where eating up disk space with a DB data file isn't a waste so much as a cost. The point was mostly just that a) it could be done and works nicely and b) the perceived performance of reading 1.5MB of text out of a database and converting it back to the right format was FASTER (by quite a bit, actually) than using CFFILE and a folder outside the web root. I say perceived performance because I didn't actually do any performance testing... I refer to user experience. The DB-driven solution returned activity to the user's screen faster by a second or two than the CFFILE version doing basically the same thing. That, considering that cffile is reading from the local hard disk and the DB solution was over-the-wire to a busy SQL Server, is actually quite the fascinating factlet.

Re: Stored Procedures in a CFC
The cfstoredproc tag will return both queries regardless, you could construct the function to return one of the callers choosing, but from a simplistic approach returning both in either an array or a structure seems more useful. The point I was making was that you either reference them as: function()[1] and function()[2] or: function().resultsetOne and function().resultsetTwo one, the structure, exposes more about the function than the other, the array. I understand but I feel like they both expose too much to the application. ;) I usually prefer structs becauses they're more literate but by hiding the resultsets in the CFC it doesn't matter whether you use an array, struct or whatever. I would do this: component private datasets = structNew(); private isLoaded = false; private function loadData() if not isLoaded sp result1 result2 /sp datasets.result1 = result1; datasets.result2 = result2; isLoaded = true; /if return; /function private function getResult1() loadData(); return datasets.result1; /function private function getResult2() loadData(); return datasets.result2; /function /component -- Marc ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: (OO) UI in CFCs
This is one of those topics where I see people making CFC's into something they aren't. Yeah, CFC's can be used to separate BL from UI blah blah blah. But that doesn't preclude the use for other things. I see so many emails floating around about OO design and how this rule keeps you from doing this or that or that you must follow this way of doing things. The plain fact is that CF is still procedural by nature with some OO abilities. I say use CFC's for whatever you want to use them for. You might just stumble on a really neat implementation. I'm currently in the middle of OOP Demystified. Excellent book so far. The author gives real world examples of creating objects. Then he also gives situations where it might not be the best course of action to use OO, but to do it procedurally. That was surprising from an OO book. He said that OO programmers will model objects after reality and sometimes, to keep to the hard and fast rules of OO design, they would 'bend' reality to fit the OO model. If you get a chance, check out the book.

According to the Macromedia CFC examples, UI can go inside CFCs. According to the makeup of the CFCOMPONENT and CFFUNCTION tags, the ability exists explicitly (the output attribute).

RE: (OO) UI in CFCs
Personally, I don't see a reason not to have a separate CFC just for UI elements that go on a page. Basically, you have a page which calls a BL (business logic) CFC for logic and a UI (user interface) CFC for specific UI elements that go on the page with the business logic. Take an average blog for example. Most have a calendar on the side. Why is this not inside a blogui.cfc file with other specific UI elements that are re-used. Yes, a custom tag can be built for each of the UI elements but on an average blog, there are 4 or 5 different small side elements. A single location for all of them would make sense rather than 4 or 5 different modules. At the moment I'm not using CFCs for UI but for UI elements less than 10 lines long, it's looking good. I don't think he means use UI and business together, but rather CFCs for the presentation. Mike?

Re: Web Based Spreadsheet To MSSQL Mapping
To me the mapping itself would not be the nightmare. It would be the reading in the Excel file and grabbing the data correctly. Dealing with any pretty formating it might have, dealing with multiple worksheets and so on. I actually have the need for something kind of like this and will be tackling it some hopefully this month. My need we at least have a great deal of control over how the spreadsheet will always be laid out so not going to be mapping issues.

Right, but in your getResult1() and getResult2() you access the key named in loadData(). That's what I'm saying(asking whether it's) bad.

I understand but I feel like they both expose too much to the application. ;) I usually prefer structs becauses they're more literate but by hiding the resultsets in the CFC it doesn't matter whether you use an array, struct or whatever.

RE: (OO) UI in CFCs
Someone I work with uses CFCs for UI. For instance, something he did is make a CFC that runs a query and returns a recordset. He then passes the recordset to a UI CFC and it formats the results in a datagrid fashion. I believe the default action is to take the column names and make them table headers with a specific look and sorting functionality and then display the data in cells below the header. There's also functionality to map a display name to a column and also to limit which columns are displayed. This is used on a reporting site that uses these datagrid displays all over.

Some kind of object-oriented approach is ideal for this. I can't see any sense in the assertion that you shouldn't use CFCs for UI. Why on earth not? In fact, in my experience the object-oriented approach is more useful for UI than it is for business data processing - although of course this is far more true when you're programming an interactive stateful environment (ActionScript, JavaScript etc).

RE: (OO) UI in CFCs
For ColdFusion, I prefer presentation elements (we are talking about HTML/XHTML/XML for the most part, right?) to be in tags. The main reasons are simple. I'd rather see: ui:navdiv a href=homehome/a /ui:navdiv Than cfsavecontent variable=myvar a href=homehome/a /cfsavecontent cfset WriteOutput(obj.showNavDiv(myvar)) Or variations along those lines. The tag based solution feels like a natural fit alongside the tag based output for the most part, and it seem like a cleaner method to wrap with tags than if you are using CFCs, and finally, it appears that you will have no choice on using tags for UI, then it makes sense to me to always use tags for UI, for consistency sake. - Calvin -Original Message- From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 12:10 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: (OO) UI in CFCs Personally, I don't see a reason not to have a separate CFC just for UI elements that go on a page.

Re: (OO) UI in CFCs
Our tags handle a lot of this. They are however fed a single file that is nothing more than a big switch case. You set the cases values to various things based upon what and how you want the datagrid to be displayed. The more I think about it from a coding(code within custom tag or CFC, not code that implements it) standpoint the CFC probably would be a lot easier to follow.

The latter will almost certainly be faster, probably by a large margin. However, the former will be far simpler to set up and maintain. How about option C, create a full text index on your CLOB from option A, and use that? I know SQL Server and MySQL both support such indexes, I'd imagine others do as well.

RE: (OO) UI in CFCs
Yes, I use CFCs for presentation of content, but only in situations where it makes sense. For simple web pages, absolutely not, there's no point. My main use of CFC is, for example, in a custom content management system where almost every view is the same and only a query resultset changes what content appears in the view. Just simple components such as PageHeader, QueryTable, QueryList, PersistentSructForm, InterfaceBreadcrumb, etc... They have minimal, but consistent HTML and/or CSS formatting applied to them every time. When creating hundreds of pages, it adds up. Would custom tags perform the same function? Of course. However, when creating something of significant size, with many hands touching it, I like to keep the elements used in development to a minimum. Again, as a few people have mentioned, whatever flavor you like best is what you should be eating. Like I've said to many people: it's a ColdFusion Component, not a ColdFusion Business Logic Container, or ColdFusion Transaction Processor. You can make a component out of anything you like.

Do you use CFCs for UI? Do you have a good reason to do so? Do you see a reason to use it (or not) vs. CFINCLUDEs or CFMODULEs? According to commonly discussed practices in the community (and in part of the Macromedia docs), UI elements should not go inside of CFCs. According to the Macromedia CFC examples, UI can go inside CFCs. According to the makeup of the CFCOMPONENT and CFFUNCTION tags, the ability exists explicitly (the output attribute). According to many of the OO books I've been reading, there's no reason for UI not to be within an object. ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Insert Unicode Smart Quotes into MS SQL Server 2000
I thought char and varchar columns would only allow the 255 ASCII values and would not allow Unicode. SQL Server 2000 seems to let me insert Unicode into these columns without any problems. For example, when I insert the two sets of MS Word smart quotes, separated by a space, into a varchar(5) column, the smart quotes get inserted just fine. I am performing the inserts and retrievals using CFMX 6.1. Smart quotes: '' Unicode values: (8220)(8221)(32)(8216)(8217) Where am I wrong in my understanding of char and varchar columns?

Re: (OO) UI in CFCs
We use CFC's to _return_ UI elements. In other words, we don't use output=true but we do use CFC's to return data that generates output. For example, we have a contentserver CFC. This CFC returns images and files that are outside of the webroot. We also have a template CFC for one specific template that gets used over and over from both the secure and non-secure sides of our server. - Original Message - From: Michael Dinowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 11:09 AM Subject: RE: (OO) UI in CFCs Personally, I don't see a reason not to have a separate CFC just for UI elements that go on a page. Basically, you have a page which calls a BL (business logic) CFC for logic and a UI (user interface) CFC for specific UI elements that go on the page with the business logic. Take an average blog for example. Most have a calendar on the side. Why is this not inside a blogui.cfc file with other specific UI elements that are re-used. Yes, a custom tag can be built for each of the UI elements but on an average blog, there are 4 or 5 different small side elements.

Subject: Questions on a dynamic tab delimited export and regular expressions
Help please...
I am trying to create a little custom tag that allows someone to query a
database, and then (if they decide) have the results of the query sent to
them as a tab delimited file by email. The user can select any number of
fields. The data is in sql server, and some of it is in ntext columns, and
in some cases has tabs in it (commas won't work...more commas than tabs).
So, I have two challenges. First, because the user can select any of the
fields they want, I don't always know what the column names are ahead of
time. To resolve this for column headings in the export file, I created a
tab-delimited list based on query.columnlist. However, it gets tricky for
the actual data...I loop through the query, and append each value. What I
need to do is run a regular expression inside this loop...but I am not sure
how to (1) dynamically generate the variable from the query based on and (2)
run a regular expression on any ntext fields to remove returns.here is
my code - throws an error at output in cffile (doesn't like the loop). The
loop works fine out of the cffile tag. Any thoughts?
cfoutput query=getData
cffile
action=append
file=#tempfile#
output=cfloop list=#getData.columnList# index=i
cfif findnocase('mem',i)
cfset temp =
rereplace(setvariable(i,#evaluate('getData.'i)#),replacethis,replacewith)c

Re: coldfusion photo gallery suggestions?
Just seeing what the needs are to dig around for a solution. You have 3 user types. General public. Free unfettered access to view gallery. view galleries. Submitter . unrestricted ability to submit images and text. How many images per piece of text? Can the submitter create a new gallery, or just upload into existing gallery? Is there a size/volume restriction? Does the submitter need to be registered/logged in? Moderator. restricted access to manage approval of uploaded images. manage galleries manage approvals Jerry Johnson Web Developer Dolan Media Company [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/03/05 02:40PM Yup. Every thing would have to go thru a person here in the office. If the photo or story is ok, it would get approved and listed to the public.

Can anyone recommend some live chat software (preferably something that integrates with CF).

Hi all, Sorry if this is an inappropriate post, however I'm looking for someone to write up a Coldfusion XML-RPC implementation for me as its just beyond my skill levels.

Re: Troublesome or Dangerous Form Submission Characters for SQL
Thanks for the tip about the double quotes. I am concerned that some people who enter in the text field will see the five character HTML-safe equivalent when they go to edit the value because of the HtmlEditFormat function. IE 6 does not seem to have this problem. Are there any browsers that display the contents of the value attribute literally, instead of properly interpreting the HTML-safe code? Similarily, when I submit a field who's value attribute equals an expanded HTML-safe code, CF receives the interpreted, single-character, value (actually %26 for amp; if you look at the headers). Are there any browsers that do not do this? As a general rule, should I wrap HtmlEditFormat around all form field values. For example: input type=text value=#HtmlEditFormat(form.fieldname)#.

An array maps to the cfprocresult's resultset attribute(as it could equally to it's name attrib) but with the array you don't need to know the name used only the number of the resultset. But returning an array causes the array to be *copied* (not a huge deal with only two entries but still...). An array doesn't give you nice names - it effectively requires calling code to know which order the two entries are in. It's much better from a maintenance point of view to use a struct with well-named keys. That way if you change the implementation of the CFC method, you can still return the two queries even if you move away from a SP with two result sets...

Re: Stored Procedures in a CFC
I think for readability returning the values in a structure is going to do a.k.a S.Isaac cfset data = myCFC.getQueries() cfloop query=data.getUsers.../cfloop cfloop query=data.getRoles.../cfloop But the idea of going through a function to get the different recordsets, and referencing via the array would mean that there is no need to know the name of the queries? defently beneficial.

By this you mean that the submitted data is checked for HTML content
via another means? Because the way you said it (the form field itself
prevents HTML from being entered) isn't secure.
