Credit cards?  Ick.  That stuff sucks. ;)  No unhappiness from me that
I have touched CC processing in like 4 years.  But anyway.  We build
the Java pieces separately.  So Java piece X gets built into a JAR,
and then that JAR is included in the CF apps as needed.  Keeps the
dependancies flowing downward, and isolates the CF apps from any
changes to the Java apps until they're ready to deal with them.

We don't use FB4 either.  And we maintain our different config stuff
in-code, rather than in external ant properties files, so the app
itself takes care of pulling the right config stuff out based on where
it's at.  Most of the reason is so that we can go right from staging
to production with a minimum of steps.  More steps == more room for
error, especially if you're CHANGING THE CODE!!!.  ;)  If we did use
FB4, we'd switch the mode the same way, in-code.   is just as effective as
changing the XML file, as long as it happens while no request is
actively executing the loader.

Of course.  But at that point we're not testing a branch, we're
testing a snapshot.  So even if the branch is updated, we don't want
the updates until the next test/release cycle.  I abbreviated my
steps, but a "test phase" usually means a tag, testing and changes,
and another tag.  Then a diff between the tags, and anything that
changed better have a damn good explaination, and anything non-trivial
will require a new cycle to commence, good explaination or not.

Yes, expected, and intentionally prevented from interfering.  ;)  By
doing it this way, developer X can merge his private branch into
stage, switch his working copy to the stage branch, and then make sure
there aren't any issues now that he's back with everyone else.  And he
can do it during a testing period, without interfering with the test. 
You can make an argument that that's a stupid way to do it for sure,
but having that central point of control sure makes my life easier.

Amen to that.  It's amazing the change that's happened in the past
couple years.  Not that that question never comes up, but there's so
much more behind it now.

Just b/c you're solo, doesn't mean that source control, build tools,
and the rest of the development toolset are not for you. In some ways,
it's far *easier* to implement them because the only management buyin
you need is yourself!

And quite honestly, it saves you time to implement at least the basics
-- source control at least. It doesn't necessarily save LOTs time, but
it moves the point you *invest* the time earlier in your process where
it keeps everybody sane. Wow -- that's obtuse. Here's a true story:

Company A has a rollout to do. I come in to help their sole developer
(at a nontech company) package everything up for deployment. Turns out
there were at least 5 seperate instances of the code -- his laptop, my
laptop, two staging servers, and a production server. And he had 3-4
more copies laying around. So we ended up with an 8-way diff to sync
up all the code. That's the couple days before the rollout -- everyone
thought it was "tested", but no one was testing the same copy. So
hours of testing wasted and about 10 hours of my time helping them out
of the mess.

Subversion takes about 30 minutes to install, especially if you're one of

a) familiar with Apache
b) happy to run the lightweight svnserve server
c) able to access the files directly

you can get away with (c) unless folks need external access to the
repository. I'd also recommend the additional hour to read the first
few chapters of Pragmatic Version Control with Subversion.

So an hour of setup, an hour of reading, and a few hours over the next
week to get comfortable with the process. And the time's invested
upfront, so when things go to hell close to a milestone/deadline,
you're not diffing 8 filesets, or digging through daily zip archives.

Getting back to company A, we put in source control and made the
developer use it. The next rollout was an emergency fix to handle a
scaling problem that I had to work on from the opposite coast. I had
actually fixed the bug in a larger project to rework the login process
that was not yet complete, but could backport the changes since I
could easily diff my branch against the main development and then
deploy it for testing. The rollout took 5m the next morning with their
graphic designer handline the svn commands for me while I rode the
trolley into Portland...

Great plan!

Step 1: Source control
Step 2: Automate deployments

There is no step 3 :)

That's a surprise -- though it of course depends on what you're doing.
I don't have many CF projects that don't have at least *some* java in
them (usually the credit card API) so using Ant seems pretty natural.
I do a lot with using filter expansion to properly configure
differences between deployments (e.g. changing the fusebox 
parameter from development to production as appropriate on the
specific server).

Wouldn't you have to start the testing process again after any change
in the branch being tested? A change in the staging branch during
integration testing *should* restart the unit tests for sure,
functional if they are automated and reasonable in length. Continuous
integration tools are only going to redeploy code that's changed in
the repository being monitored -- so a change in the development
branch does not necessarily redeploy the staging branch. Of course a
*merge* from dev into staging would, but you'd expect that.

No doubt -- and the key is matching them to your process. If you don't
do continuous integration, you don't need continuous integration
tools. If you don't do automated testing, you don't need CFCUnit,
HttpUnit, Selenium, etc. If you don't use UML tools, you don't need
ArgoUML.

I mean, I love Eclipse, but to make a couple of quick edits, I'm
poppin' open Textpad and using Tortoise to commit it to SVN :)

That last bit is key -- CF web apps can be hard to test, mostly
because CF has such poor unit-testing tools. For legacy apps without
CFCs, you're out of luck. Functional testing with tools like Selenium
though, makes it suprisingly easy to automate user/integration tests
and add test cases for each bug. But setting it all up, especially on
a legacy project, takes a siginficant amount of time.

I'm thrilled we're (the CF community) at the point where more of the
discussions are about how to implement the tools to improve process
than "why it's important to use source control".

Nope, no ant anywhere in that process.  No need for it.  Aside from

I'm a big advocate of using all the neat tools out there to make your

Yeah... what he said.  ;^)

But, really - it's essentially the same thing.  The locks are server-wide,
so they take care of the multi-threading issue handily without having to
deal with the application scope.

So this solution will work in cases where you have no application defined.

Formatting text in IM Gateway

[Scott Stroz]

I am using an IM gateway. I would like some of the responses to have basic 
formatting in the text (bold, ital).

Anyone know how a message sent via gateways should be formatted to achieve 
this?

This is key -- no "just a quick change" on the staging server which

I'd suggest giving CruiseControl a shot to remove the manual step 3,
especially since you're already using Ant (right?). Then your staging
server is always current and problems get noticed soon.

Of course this raises the whole issue of automating the *testing* in
steps 1 and 4 :)

I need to unzip and zip some files that is submitted by users. Got Winzip

Re: Can CF do this?

[Claude Schneegans]

 >>Most printers prefer 300dpi images for maximum quality...

Printers don't give a dam about DPIs...
Image do not have DPIs*, they just have pixels, the more pixels there are,
the better the image looks on the printer, period.

An image with 1000 pix at 75 dpi looks better than an image with 200 pis 
at 300 dpi (MUCH better)

*I know, there is some kind of "image resolution" info stored in some 
image format,
but this is one of the most stupid things I ever heard of:
- printers have a resolution**,
- scanners have a resolution**,
- camera have a resolution**,
but images are just virtual data with no dimension, so how could it have 
a "resolution" ?
An (electronic) image has NO INCHES, then what are "dots per inch" ?

** Note two: the correct term is not even "resolution", it should be 
"defininition", but anyway... ;-)

Right, ODBCinfo was developped far before Allaire and MM went (crazy) 
with Java.
I'm working on some sort of CFX_JDBCinfo however.
It might take some times since Java is so much more cumbersome than C ;-)

Actually not, this is the beauty of ODBC: it is (well almost) DB 
independant.
The only things that are DB dependent are a couple of things (flaws) not 
supported by some ODBC drivers.

RE: cf_twoselectsrelated

[Mark Fuqua]

Hey, that is very cool.

Two questions:

What did you mean by:

"that accepts a parameter to 'preselect' records in the second select"
It seemed to me, and I don't mean this in a challenging way, that they
worked the same as , though without the skittish
javascript jiggies.

Second:

What is "the Client/Server Gateway JSAPI"?  Is that one of the built-in
gateways in cf7?

Third (sorry can't help myself):

How does that work?

Re: cf_twoselectsrelated

[Aaron Rouse]

I actually do my n-selects slightly different than the q-forms example and 
would not think it would effect the speed. However mine are near instant and 
use them for things like our organizational hierarchy and usually 5-selects 
related. I tried out that gateway a few years ago and was rather impressed 
with it, I seem to recall it running quickly. My tests with CFAJAX recently 
had kind of a noticeable pause to them that I did not care for.

RE: Replace String

Heh... Yeah, well... what can I say, I like to use XML tools for XML.

Re: date error

Are you passing in a string or a date object?  If the former, use
parseDateTime() first to parse the string into a date object.

But, the query doen't return any records because the date is set to

RE: CSS and Firefox

[Rick Faircloth]

Thanks for the reply, Cutter...

It does seem an elegant and efficient way to design,
but I've been following discussions on the css-discuss
mailing list, and they sure spend a lot of time figuring out
design issues.

I'm just wondering if I'll be spending too much time trying
to make CSS design behave and not enough time coding CF.

I guess there's probably a common set of functional design
patterns that work well with all (mostly all) browsers and I
could learn what to stay away from...

What's been the key for making CSS work well for you
in dealing with incompatabilities between browsers?  Or does
it just seem that there are a lot of issues because the problems
are usually the only hot topics that are discussed on lists...

Rick,

Yes, I'm using CSS for all of my design (only using tables for tabular
data). Irie Radio is my first foray into Mach II, and every page
contains some dynamic data (much more to come). I've really had to
rethink some things structurally to leverage CF with a total CSS layout,
but in the end run I'm finding it to be much more flexible from a design
standpoint, especially as I modularize my code. Much easier to change
and maintain.

With Access, that error is usually because you've got an invalid field

Since there's no table called "Session" within your query, I assume that
session.Associate should be a CF variable and therefore wrapped in hashes
for evaluation?

In addition, I'd recommend that you use CFQUERYPARAM for all these variables
within your query.

Why not just set an application variable when you enter the lock, and

for instance, tell them no, and use a meta refresh to try again in so
many seconds... Just make sure you set the variable to false when then

I've often downloaded large MM installers, and had to download them again
because they've been corrupted. For CF, at least, they list checksums for
the files so you can use md5sums or a similar tool to ensure that it's not
corrupted.

date error

[Mark Fuqua]

Hey there,

Sorry for my ignorance.  Trying to test out .  Having trouble with
using a date in the where clause of my query.  I know I am more than likely
doing something really dumb and imagine the solution is quite simple.  So,
before I spend more hours trying to figure this out...Thought I would ask
for help.  Here is the code:








SELECT Associate, Job, ReportDate, TotalHours
FROM TimeCard
WHERE TimeCard.Associate = session.Associate AND timeCard.ReportDate =
#createodbcDate ("session.ReportDate")# and TimeCard.job = #session.jobId#















Here is the error message:

Parameter validation error for function CREATEODBCDATE.
The value of the parameter 1, which is currently "session.ReportDate", must
be a class java.util.Date value.

Thanks,

Mark

Re: Your experience of Bluedragon.net?

[Matt Robertson]

Something else I had forgotten but remembered once I checked LiveDocs... 
setvariable() is deprecated, so I stayed away from it.

Nowadays I prefer to never dump a var into a just the scope (i.e. 
variables.foo). Everything goes into structs if for no other reason than 
grouping related stuff together that belongs on a particular template. So I 
would be creating scope.structname.varname and never leaving the local scope 
undeclared like i did with 

#admin_boss.helloWorld#

Re: SCM deployment options (was Re: Source Code Control Setup)

[Barney Boisvert]

My method of choice is typically to have a 'staging' working directory
checked out on the central dev server, in addition to personal working
directories for each developer.  That staging directory is then
rsynced up to the production cluster when changes are made.  This
ensures two things:

1) since no one directly edits the stage working directory, it's
impossible to push anything live that isn't checked into the
repository (since that's the only way to get it to staging).

2) pushes to the production cluster are always from a consistent
source; no way to push a partial version and get version conflicts.

Basic routine looks like this:

1) developer makes changes and tests
2) developer commits
3) I update staging server
4) testing on staging server
5) tag release
6) push to production

Obviously steps 1-4 happen a lot more frequently than 5-6, and 1-2
happen a lot more than 3-4 as well.

cheers,

RE: Query in application.cfm

[Matthew Walker]

If you are setting an application variable, it will be maintained for
the runtime of the app (i.e. until the server restarts). Why do you need
to rerun the query on every page view? Is the data static or does it
need to expire after a certain timeframe?

How about...

I need to keep track of a production system configuration. So, is is OK
to put a query into application.cfm, like:

--> Do a query into production settings table

--> set application variable depending on query results

--> drink a beer ;-)

Are there any issues, other than a query that runs every time a page is
executed and perhaps slows things down just a bit ... Would it be
quicker to read a file with CFFILE to get the application variable value
than run a very simple query??

RE: CFCHART X-Axis Labelling...

[Dan G. Switzer, II]

Tom,

>Thanks for the hard work. It'll help me, too. I didn't know about the
>"isHideOverlapped" attribute, and that's obviously key.

I've been playing around with it to see if I should just create a wrapper
for another Java API or whether CFCHART will do the trick. Or even if I
should write another wrapper to the WebChart3D to allow for more
flexibility.

>The Macromedia folks readily acknowledge that many/most of the settings

I can understand the confusing part. I think it's almost a little too
confusing now. However, what makes it difficult is how the tag syntax
doesn't really match up at all w/the actual WebChart3D syntax. This is what
makes it such a pain to map functionality from the WebCharts3D XML syntax to
what CF is actually doing.

That said they still need more flexibility. 

>What I'm suggesting, I guess, is that we make a feature request. Either to

I'd at least like to see being able to pass in an XML file--at least then
you could load an XML sheet, modify it w/dynamic values and use it for the
chart.

I wonder if it would work to give us a  tag where we
could do something like:



Something like that could allow us to change properties/tag values of a
pre-defined stylesheet. If the branch/node doesn't exist in the sheet, CF
would generate an error.

That would at least give us flexibility to change some of the advanced
features without having to add a bunch of new attributes to the tags.

I think there a few features people would use in CFCHART if they knew they
existed.

For example, I was also able to figure out how to get a stacked bar chart to
print data labels on each segment of the chart. You can only do this by
modifying the XML files right now.

The one thing I'm trying to figure out now is if I can print the $(rowTotal)
on the outside, but have it just do it just once per series instead of for
each element. It doesn't make sense to have a stacked bar chart that prints
the total on the outside of each segment in the series--only after the very
last element in the series. 

Have you found a way to do that?

-Dan

Yep. Look into using the USER_* tables (specifically, USER_TABLES and

Hi Becky,

What you're looking at is XML and it should be reasonably easy to
convert this into your desired output using CF's native XML tools.
Give this a shot:

#mystring#


Phone number changed from
#myxml.xml.token1.xmlText# to
#myxml.xml.token2.xmlText#


I could have given you an XSL template to translate the tokens, but
that's a little more involved -- I figured this would be shorter and
easier to follow in this case.

In SVN, you're looking at post-commit hooks to automatically push out
changes, but I'd suggest looking at Ant -- which lets you create
deployment scripts. And then you can take your working
deploy-on-demand scripts and put it all into CruiseControl, which is
an opensource tool for continuous integration builds (e.g. changes
automatically roll out to the target server continuously).

Sort of. In looking at this I could have been mistaken. The code in question 
is



which contains among other things...

and then code to populate the struct...

and display like this:
#admin_boss.helloWorld#

My impression at the time was that the cfset would have not worked without a 
prepend of "variables." in front of it, so I would then be outputting

#variables.admin_boss.helloWorld#

I'm using an include rather than a tag for the sake of speed. I know thats 
heinous but the whole code block tested out to a decent speed improvement 
back when I originally worked it up, and I was trying to shave all I could 
off overall execution time.

I've never used setariable(). RTFM.

Regardless of the specific details, using Ant is pretty helpful since
you can abstract all of your deployment/release logic into a
cross-platform container that can integrate w/ darn near anything.

With Ant, all it sounds like you really need is the standard
build/compile/dist set of directories. The standard ant drill:
+ init directories (clear everything out, so you get a clean build.
can also use checkout or export, but have the problems you indicated)
+ CVS export into the build directory
+ copy to the compile directory (not necessary, but gives you a step
where you can use Ant filters)
+ copy the results to dist dir

Now you've got a dir of the latest files. If you can reach the server,
you can copy straight to the server in the last step. If you need to
(s)FTP/etc, Ant has tasks to help with that as well.

And then you can put it all in cruisecontrol :)

Query in application.cfm

[Richard Colman]

I need to keep track of a production system configuration. So, is is OK to
put a query into application.cfm, like:

--> Do a query into production settings table

--> set application variable depending on query results

--> drink a beer ;-)

Are there any issues, other than a query that runs every time a page is
executed and perhaps slows things down just a bit ... Would it be quicker to
read a file with CFFILE to get the application variable value than run a
very simple query??

RE: possible CFMX 6.1 cfschedule bug

[Tom Kitta]

You should always check whatever a scheduled process run and whatever that
run was successful (i.e. no error was thrown). One simple way to make sure
it run and the run was a success is to send an email at the end of the
process file to your (or some designated for that purpose) email account.
Unless your process runs very often, this is a simple and quick solution to
process running check - minimal work needed. Also, outlook and most other
mail clients can be set to sort your incoming mail into folders allowing you
to just take a quick look and know whatever there was a problem or not.

Re: Your experience of Bluedragon.net?

[Tony]

my experience was this:

1. it took a bit of finagling to get it up and running right.
2. when i finally got it up and running i felt like i was in a
different world where errors werent the same, and i didnt know what to
do to fix them
2.5 it really felt like a one's off kinda thing
3. my code that was working perfect on 6.1 didnt work perfect on bd.net
4. i quickly removed it and put 6.1 back on
5. my company bought cfmx 7 and we arent about to do anything different.
6. i felt like a traitor.

just my opinion and experience.

Migrating verity collections

[Rich Brant]

(this is repost - my apologies if anyone gets this twice, but I sent
this last night and it appears to have gotten lost in space)

I have a client who's migrated from CF5 to 7 and is finding differing
search results produced by the Verity collections on the new site. I'm
aware of the fact that 7 ships with a very different Verity than did
5, but beyond that I'm not clear on what would cause the results to be
different. Maybe that's just the nature of the new Verity engine and
how it indexes data, I'm just looking to see if a) someone can confirm
that behavior and hopefully, b) provide some insight as to how to get
the same results out of the search from the site running 5 to the new
site running 7.

I can verify that the databases are the same and the queries which
populate the collections are also identical..

Thanks!

I would use the cached query / request scope if I had to worry about CF5
compatibility. Then it will keep you from having to worry about cflocking. 
If you are on CF6+ and know your code will always stay there use the
application scope.

CFC caching?

[George Abraham]

All,
I am relatively new to CFCs, so pardon the (perhaps) stupid question. I have 
a CFC like so:
















I made a simple mistake of misspelling the stored procedure and named it 
'CreateNewAuditLogEntry'. Of course there was a spitting out of "This SP 
name CreateNewAuditLogEntry is not available". I go back and change the name 
and add that prefix "upIns_". However on running the routine, I get the 
error again that the "This SP name CreateNewAuditLogEntry is not available". 
But, I changed the spelling and how come it is repeating the old error? 
Which leads me to believe that somewhere, something is being cached. Now I 
am also reminded of other CFCs that I inherited or worked with previously 
that gave me similar problems of retention of old settings.

Oh mighty CF-Talkers, what have I encountered? Is there some setting that I 
have not set? CFMX7 on Windows 2000, by the way.

TIA
George

Re: 2005 Dates bug

dayOfWeek takes a date, not a day.  You want this:

dayOfWeekAsString(dayOfWeek(createDate(year(date), month(date), 1)))

firstDayOfMonth returns the day offset from the year for that date,
not the date itself.

"Item 3.2: Setting variable names indirectly" was the first brick wall I hit
and stopped me dead in my tracks. I would have to rewrite how every text
system-level element is displayed everywhere in my CMS, given how I display
text to allow its translateability.

Yeah, I pretty much only do that now. Although I'll sometimes use
setVariable in a custom tag to return data. It 'feels" like it is more

Either way - I'm waiting on Matt to respond. :) I really want to know
why he did that. (And I hope that doesn't sound antagonistic - I

It's more overhead, but you should be able to get the document root
for any given element using XMLSearch(packet,"/") -- which can then be
used to generate nodes, so you don't have to explicitly pass the
document around along with the individual nodes.

Why would we create a tool to distill print documents that doesn't

Don't know Rick...but if not, you can use iText (which is behind CFDOCUMENT) 
directly to do whatever you want in the creation process of a PDF (including 
DPI)

 >>I figured this would work:

It won't do exactly the same:
First it will not generate an image file,
second, if the fonts are not istalled on client side, results are 
unpredictable.
With ColdFusion, a CFX tag using the TG library would do it.

Welcome

I got busy before and didn't actually look at the samples you'd posted
until I saw Nimer's suggestion to use a view and then I looked at them
and thought "you know, he's right". :)

RE: XML - force empty tag

[Dawson, Michael]

If you use CFSAVECONTENT to create your XML, there is no reason why you
can't validate it afterwards with the xmlValidate() function.  Unless,
you don't have a DTD or schema.

I use the xml functions to create relatively large packets of xml data
every week.  I previously used CFSAVECONTENT, but that left me with tons
of whitespace.  I could have then wrapped all my elements with CFOUTPUT,
but this xml packet contains some logic to determine if child elements
should be created or not.  That would have been more-cumbersome that
using the functions.

The main thing I hate about the functions is having to keep a "handle"
to each element, when nesting elements, and then having to append child
elements to the parent.  It is kind of messy doing that, too.

I never did a performance comparison, however, so I can't say which is
better.

Subject: RE: XML - force empty tag 

There may be performance differences... I would guess that
CFSAVEDCONTENT is quicker than multiple function calls.

CFSAVEDCONTENT may also be more error prone (since you're essentially
hand-coding the XML)... but then again the native XML functions are
cumbersome and numerous so that may lead to more debugging.

All told it seems very similar to the long and heated debate in the
JavaScript community over whether you should just produce XML and use
things like "innerHTML" to fetch it or use the DOM model to
produce/build it (and the DOM JavaScript model is much, MUCH more
complex than the CF model).

In the end I think, in both cases, it's pretty much free choice.
Although the proponents for "real" DOM manipulation seem a bit more
rabid to me.  But for all their passion they aren't really any more
convincing.  ;^)

RE: Can CF do this?

[Kevin Aebig]

There are a few issues with the following concept:

Most printers prefer 300dpi images for maximum
quality... and needless to say that most printers
also prefer getting the concept as a high 
resolution TIFF or TARGA.

I've done this app with Flash, but only for
designing and client interaction, not to output 
the actual proof.

Yes, PDF will work, and coldfusion is getting better all the time at
manipulating them. As is Java.

I was just pointing out that a background image with text over the top
might not give enough fidelity.

Although PDFs require additional plugins installed to view it in a
browser, where a .jpg does not. And a jpg is easier to embed in a page
than is a pdf file surrounded by userinterface.

Can CF do this? cfdocument and cfreport aren't that
robust.

Is this example using some sort of Microsoft Word object
model?

Wouldn't that be the case if you used the same PDF to generate the
card (and had the same fonts installed on the computer that prints
them)? I thought that was part of the purpose of the PDF format.

Bite me Style Boy. :P

Usually yeah... though I tend to revert to older markup for things
like generating Excel sheets because I've seen some style elements
flat ignored by Excel. That may just be Excel tho, so it may not have
any bearing on a cfdocument PDF...

And so you've found the wonders of the intuitive interface of WebCharts3D 
Designer and its equally wonderful (lack of) meaningful documentation.

Thanks for the hard work. It'll help me, too. I didn't know about the 
"isHideOverlapped" attribute, and that's obviously key.

The Macromedia folks readily acknowledge that many/most of the settings 
available through the .xml are not accessible within the cfchart tag. The 
argument is that they've exposed almost 30, and they didn't want to make the 
tag's attributes too confusing.

On the other hand, I've already run into several instances where I needed to 
set dynamic values for some of the non-exposed attributes -- much the way 
you're suggesting for the already-exposed "height" attribute.

In one case, for instance, the x-axis of my chart contains date values, and 
the recordset used for the charting may well contain a value for each day of 
a given period. When a user chooses to view a 3-month span, for instance, I 
want the axis to show labels for individual days. But when "1 Year" is 
selected, I want the labels to show for a week, not a day.

That can be accomplished with 

[code omitted]



But since there's no way to pass the dynamic value through, I have to switch 
stylesheets to switch the label units.

So there are clearly many cases where one needs to create multiple 
stylesheets, sometimes with only a difference in a single attribute.

Sorta clunky, huh?

What I'm suggesting, I guess, is that we make a feature request. Either to 
expose certain additional attributes that we have found to be relatively 
common needs -- or a way, within the cfchart tag, to have some sort of 
passthrough attribute that could take an xml string and override matching 
settings within the stylesheet (which I guess is sorta what the cfchart tag 
attributes do).

Thoughts?

Re: Can CF do this?

[Jerry Johnson]

This would not give you the exact positioning of text, nor the color
and fonts that will be on the final printed card.

The idea is to output to the screen basically pixel exact
representations of the print version of the product.

The only sure way to do this is to create a single file that will go
to the printer and can be viewed on the screen.

The closest I have been able to get on this is the PS->pdf and PS->jpg version.

I think on newer versions of CF (I'm still in 5.0 land), this will be
possible with a combination of cfdocument, cfcontent and some open
source java libs.

RE: Configuration problem - CFMX7

Go to C:\CfusionMX7\bin\connectors

Try Upgrade IIS connectors .bat file.

Subject: Configuration problem - CFMX7

Hi Folks,

I have done a few CFMX7 upgrades, and a couple of clean installs, with no 
issues. But today, I ran into one.

The server OS is Windows Server 2003. New server, never had CF installed.

The install went as usual. The installer identified that IIS was installed, 
and was told to use all IIS websites.

I allowed the installation of the CFIDE at the default location, underneath 
wwwroot.

At the completion of the install, the CF Admin opened properly. I have used 
it to add datasources, etc. All works fine.

Until -- I attempt to access a .cfm file outside of the CFIDE directory. I 
get the basic IIS "Unable to display this page" message.

It does not appear to be a file permissions issue, since I can access an 
HTML file at the root of the site. But when I change the extension of the 
same file to .cfm, the error appears.

As you'd expect, given the fact that the CF Admin is running, Macromedia 
Extensions are enabled in the IIS manager. I've gone through all the IIS 
settings I can find, and compared them to another server where everything's 
okay, and I can find no differences.

Has anyone run into this before?

Tom

cf_twoselectsrelated

[Mike Klostermeyer]

Does anyone have a version of cf_twoselectsrelated (or something similar)
that accepts a parameter to 'preselect' records in the second select
depending upon what is selected in the first?  Thanks.

Re: CSS and Firefox

[Cutter (CF-Talk)]

Rick,

Yes, I'm using CSS for all of my design (only using tables for tabular 
data). Irie Radio is my first foray into Mach II, and every page 
contains some dynamic data (much more to come). I've really had to 
rethink some things structurally to leverage CF with a total CSS layout, 
but in the end run I'm finding it to be much more flexible from a design 
standpoint, especially as I modularize my code. Much easier to change 
and maintain.
