Web Based Mail Merge? (not email!)

2005-04-02 Thread Andy Mcshane
Ok guy's, here's something that has been playing on mind now for far too long 
and I need to try to come up with a definitive answer of either yes it can be 
done or no it can't. Here's what I have been asked to do;

We have a web based product that a number of our clients use to store 
information specific to them. From time to time they want to be able to use 
that information to produce letters. The way that this is currently done is 
that they download the information that they require in a comma seperated file 
and then use Microsoft Word to perform a mail merge using the CSV as a data 
source, with me so far?

What I need to know is if it is possible, and if so how, to be able to carry 
out this same type of mail merge on line and then have the choice of printing 
or downloading the completed word documents as a file, i.e. is it possible to 
run the same mail nmerge process on the web server? If so can anyone point me 
to a source of info for this? Alternatively would anyone know of any other way 
to acheive this whole letter/mail merge process efficiently?

Any advice greatly apreciated,

I know this isnt a LOT of help, but a while back I did some stuff like
this using ASP.

Basicaly in ASP you can create a server object (like an instance of MS
Word) and then run commands against it. How that translates to CF I
dont know.

If it cant be done with CF have a look at ASP and CF could trigger an
ASP page to do the merge and then pick up the results

Thanks, this looks interesting. This would be ideal if all of the word document 
formatting was converted also, i.e. page breaks, header, footer, etc. I could 
then run m y mailmerge against the HTML page and print that off! Maybe wishful 
thinking!.

Would you be able to point me any resource that demonstrates how to do a word 
mail merge using ASP? Is it actually possible to execute an ASP page from 
Coldfusion? I would simply need to be able to pass a document template and 
datasource to word, do a mail merge and then save the result to a file that the 
user could download and print themselves as word documents, this would be 
ideal. 

You can tell it is a Saturday, plenty time to come up with these wish lists!

Re: Web Based Mail Merge? (not email!)

2005-04-02 Thread Mark Drew
Its not quite like that... the example I posted showed creating a new
serverside word com object that you can then manipulate.

What the process would be (and you have to find the methods, I cant
find them at the moment) create a word object, make that object open
your mailmerge template, tell the word object to get some data, merge
and save the merge as a file on the server, then return that file.

MSDN is a good source for these methods


I hope that helps a bit!

cold fusion to insert the variables at the right place.  Make sure they set 
the browser to not print a header or footer.  I have a button on a page 
that whn clicked pops up this new window with just the mail merged pages.. 
you can use javascript to print it then close it, or let them do it

Re: Dedicated Hosting

2005-04-02 Thread Matt Robertson
I use mySQL.  Net cost: $0.

In the case of Crystaltech, they give you free SQL Server space of
like 1/2 GB per server.  So you're back to $0 again.

Or you can use MSDE, which is a low-traffic version of SQL Server (it
has a connection limit, but here again if you are just starting out
its fine).  I use SQL Server for the client's data and MSDE on the
local box for things like client variable storage.

I then use a product called MSDE Manager for an Enterprise Manager

http://www.valesoftware.com/products-msde-manager.php

I run it on the server itself when doing terminal server connections,
so I don't have to be on an Enterprise Manager-Equipped system to
manage the db.  I also use it to connect to the Crystaltech SQL Server
from the same box.  Net cost: $79.

I would argue that the value is never lost because once you become
master of your own domain (literally) your reliability and capability
goes thru the roof.

Case in point:  All of the crap you've referenced in the other thread
would have never happened.

 Boy is that ever a can o' worms!  There is no straight, always-right
 answer.  You would have to look at what you are charging people for
 hosting, how much of that you are turning over to CT and THEN work in
 these factors:
 
 1. How nice would it be if I could do anything I want on MY server?
 (CFX's etc.)
 2. How stable would my server become if only my own programming is on it?
 3. How many sites can I stuff onto this thing?
 4. Do I know how to run a server?
 
 I am responsible for two clients' servers there so I know how CT sets
 them up.  Its a nice setup, actually.  For starters you get your own
 mail and stats servers (Smartertools' SmarterMail and SmarterStats).
 I'm not fond of SmarterStats, but its free.  And I bought SmarterMail
 for my own servers as a replacement for IMail when that product went
 belly up.
 
 They also give you Serv-U.  Its not the secure version though, but its
 still Serv-U.  Plus your operating system is included.  Windows comes
 with it too.
 
 That only leaves CF to buy, which ain't cheap.  I suppose you could do
 BlueDragon's free or $899 versions too.  Or you can probably rent CF,
 and if so it will take you well over a year to equal your rental
 payments.  Maybe a good option, especially if you are just starting
 out and will be adding (paying) clients over time.
 
 Nobody can touch CT's prices on servers, I think.  US$80 per month for
 an admittedly basic unit that would run 10 or so  small CF sites just
 fine.  Then bump that up with an upgrade down the road (and keep the
 $80 server for a dedicated mail server).  Those dual-Xeon, 2gb units
 are dirt cheap for what you get.  So cheap I almost jumped ship from
 my server provider when I expanded recently.

Would you explain a little more about how you

I've created printable forms using CSS and CF variables,

Re: Is this campsite available

2005-04-02 Thread Matt Robertson
Keep the list of available campsites in an app-scoped array.  When
someone searches for available campsites, loop over the array and
release the locks on all pending but uncompleted transactions over X
minutes long.  Then output the result.

You'll also need a check so that if someone reserves a site after this
list has been output to screen but before the current user clicks
'reserve it for me' themselves, the system can handle this.

The risk of race conditions with this is here for the reads and db
updates.  I'd think using a single named lock around both the array
reads, writes and db updates would be necessary to ensure integrity.

directions on how to get 5.0 can run under Windows 2003, but it doesn't 
specifically mention Windows 2003 Web Edition.

I followed the instructions in the tech note, but when I click on the CF Admin 
link, it goes to http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm and displays 
The page cannot be found.

CF runs if I download version 7.

Any suggestions?

When I download attachments the file is named winmail.dat.

I have striped it down for testing and it doesn't make a dif. The value of
#attachments# is always winmail.dat

cfx_pop3 action=GETALL NAME=Message SERVER=#Server#
USERNAME=#Email# PASSWORD=#MyPassWord#
attachmentpath=#attachmentPath#

CFPOP does the same.

Windows 2003
MX7

The mail server is ArgoSoft. The same attachment come through fine in
OutLook.

RE: CFPOP/CFX_POP3

2005-04-02 Thread Paul Vernon
Hi Rick,

AFAIK, the winmail.dat attachment is an undocumented MS proprietary format
for attachments when using Exchange. As CFPOP and CFX_POP and most other
mail clients only know about the rfc compliant mail formats.

The content-type for that attachment should be microsoft/tnef if you search
on Google for that you will find lots of people wanting to know how you
decode them

If I find some components that I can build into CFX_POP3 then I may just add
the feature but I've never come across any and I haven't the time to reverse
engineer their undocumented format... :(

flashservices with virtual domain

2005-04-02 Thread Bob Flynn
I know this has to be a common issue, so I'm surprised I have not been able to 
find anything more recent on it. We have a shared hosting environment with 
CFMX6.1 and IIS6. Most of the domains are your standard 
www.ourdomain.com/account/... There are, however 2-3 virtual domains on the 
server. It's not a particularly tech-adventurous bunch so not too many people 
are using things like flash cfchart and certainly not flash remoting. 

I wanted to throw up Pollster on our MMUG site but it is one of the few virtual 
domains and the flashservices does not appear to know about it. If I put it on 
www.ourdomain.com/myaccount/index.cfm it will work, but not on 
www.myvirtualdomain.com/index.cfm. I am pretty sure the server admins will make 
things nice if I do the legwork for them. The best thing I’ve been able to 
find so far is: 
http://www.macromedia.com/support/flashremoting//ts/documents/iis_gateway_connection.htm

Is this the lastest word? 

Thanks,

Bob

Filter Output Based on List

2005-04-02 Thread Les Mizzell
Working on a page that outputs headlines and copy from several RSS News 
Feeds.

I need to do some filtering though, as the page is target towards kids 
and the feeds can sometimes contain some iffy stuff.

So, I've got a list of words rejectLIST and if the body copy contains 
any of the words from rejectLIST, then that entry should be skipped.

In sorta Coldfusion/English


If rss.bodycopy does not contain anything in #rejectLIST#
   Display this feed entry
/cfif


Can't seem to get the syntax quite right

RE: CFPOP/CFX_POP3

2005-04-02 Thread Paul Vernon
Hi Rick,

I'm afraid it isn't something that would allow me to update CFX_POP3 however
this ne could actually be used in CFPOP if MM so chose to build it in :) 

On the other hand, I have found a component that will work with CFX_POP3
however it still requires some work as it has been neglected for about 6
years and is not compatible with CFX_POP3 straight out of the box so to
speak...

Going back to the jar file you have installed, you will need to look out for
the winmail.dat files in the attachments field that CFPOP and CFX_POP3
generate and then instantiate the tnef decoder object using a UDF or CFC to
wrap up the funcionality of the jar file that you now have in your
classpath.

Essentially the UDF/CFC would read the attachment into a filestream and then
pass it to the TNEFInputStream class to decode it and let you manipulate the
attachments that are held within the .dat file.

HTH

 If rss.bodycopy does not contain anything in #rejectLIST#

Assuming rejectLIST is a comma delimited list, run this for each entry to
test...

cfset variables.show_entry = 1
cfloop list=#rejectLIST# index=i
cfif findNoCase(i, rss.bodycopy)
cfset variables.show_entry = 0
cfbreak
/cfif
/cfloop
cfif variables.show_entry
Display here.
/cfif

Since you're wanting to find any one of several words within a string, you
need to break the list down and search for each work individually.  If one
is found, set the show bit to false and break out.  This code would be
contained within your RSS output loop.

RE: Web Based Mail Merge? (not email!)

2005-04-02 Thread Al Musella, DPM
I am actually using 4.5.2 on my server as well!  (It is a small non-profit 
brain cancer organization - and they can't afford to upgrade:)

As I see it, your problem is creating multiple pages.  There are a few 
approaches. The nicest is to use CSS to force a page break after each page, 
but when I did this, I had to deal with older browsers, so I cheated by 
just using [br] tag to get to the next page. I have a setup page that you 
use to determine how many lines are printed on your printer, and save that 
number in a cookie.  Then as I loop through each record I set a line 
counter to see how many lines are used (for example, if there is no address 
line 2, I don't leave an empty space).. then after the content, I figure 
out how many  [br] tags are needed to get to the next line.  Works 
remarkably well.
   The only problems: you have to have the user set the header and footer 
in their browser to blanks, and it only works for 1 font size.. if they set 
their browser to a bigger or smaller font, they have to figure out how many 
lines per page again

I do this all of the time with straight HTML..  Use style sheets to
format the pages nicely and to display the letterhead part, and just use
cold fusion to insert the variables at the right place.  Make sure they set
the browser to not print a header or footer.  I have a button on a page
that whn clicked pops up this new window with just the mail merged pages..
you can use javascript to print it then close it, or let them do it
manually.  (I do this because the mail merged pages don't have your
navigation bars)

   To get a little fancier, you can also use pdf.. search for dynamic pdf.

Others have given you your answer on what you were looking for, but I want
to give you and others who are working with feeds some ideas to better work
with them.

1. Do your processing on a scheduled basis and parse the feed into a
database.

2. Do any other processing on the feed before you enter it into the
database.

3. Display the data results from the database.

I've seen far too many people get/parse/display the feed for every request
to their site.

that per month to keep me on. 
I've never been in this for the money and my advertising revenue reflects that. 
:)

I gotta ask - was it a nice amount?  Enough to put the kiddies through 
college?  :)

RE: Web Based Mail Merge? (not email!)

Hi, Al...

Thanks for the explanation.
How do you code a page break in CSS?

I am actually using 4.5.2 on my server as well!  (It is a small non-profit
brain cancer organization - and they can't afford to upgrade:)

As I see it, your problem is creating multiple pages.  There are a few
approaches. The nicest is to use CSS to force a page break after each page,
but when I did this, I had to deal with older browsers, so I cheated by
just using [br] tag to get to the next page. I have a setup page that you
use to determine how many lines are printed on your printer, and save that
number in a cookie.  Then as I loop through each record I set a line
counter to see how many lines are used (for example, if there is no address
line 2, I don't leave an empty space).. then after the content, I figure
out how many  [br] tags are needed to get to the next line.  Works
remarkably well.
   The only problems: you have to have the user set the header and footer
in their browser to blanks, and it only works for 1 font size.. if they set
their browser to a bigger or smaller font, they have to figure out how many
lines per page again

Hi, Al...

Would you explain a little more about how you
cause the mail merge to execute?  I'm still using
CF 4.5.2...is what you're doing possible with that?

I've created printable forms using CSS and CF variables,
but only as single documents, not as multiple printouts
from a mail merge...

I do this all of the time with straight HTML..  Use style sheets to
format the pages nicely and to display the letterhead part, and just use
cold fusion to insert the variables at the right place.  Make sure they set
the browser to not print a header or footer.  I have a button on a page
that whn clicked pops up this new window with just the mail merged pages..
you can use javascript to print it then close it, or let them do it
manually.  (I do this because the mail merged pages don't have your
navigation bars)

   To get a little fancier, you can also use pdf.. search for dynamic pdf.

How about this:

SELECT COUNT(no_stats) AS nb_visite
FROM statistique
WHERE datepart(h,statistique.date_in) = 11

Access has a DatePart function like CF does...

HTH,

 Hi all,
 
 This query works great in Access but through CF and datasource, it 
 says too few parameters, any ideas?
 
 SELECT COUNT(no_stats) AS nb_visite
 FROM statistique
 WHERE FORMAT(statistique.date_in,hh) = 11
 
 Thanks

Have you looked at the docs for DatePart() in Access? What does it say about
the arguments required?

Yes, the documentation is exactly what the query is.. And it works in
queries of Access, but when I do it through CF it doesn't :(
