Re: cf open shopping cart
lol. Now that is just funny Dave. First off, I'm offended. I play PS2...not xbox. Second, conflict of interests means my company is building an e-commerce system (database already done and is quite intense in terms of functionality) that won't be free so why would I take the same knowledge (or even files) to an OS project that will directly compete with our (possibly flagship) project? I wouldn't and, I'm guessing, neither would the majority of the people in my position (that's like Adobe building an open source Flash IDE...why would they do that? For the love of the community? Not if Flash 9 (and so on) is still being built and sold). Initially the project sounded like it was only a shopping cart (not a full site + database) so I was willing to write shopping cart code (add, delete, modify, payment gateways, etc) or use code I already have from prior e-comm sites. Doing a full blown site+db simply conflicts with our e-comm product. If you want previous code I've written for Authorize.net I will gladly pass it on. It isn't encapsulated but I can delete the extra. Don't be so offensive man. Calm down and bang it out yourself if you have to. Like someone said, taking the app on by yourself, or with a very small team IMO, should yield better results than throwing 500 developers on one project. In doing this you end up right where you are now...no one to help which is most likely due to no agreement on the project specs (seemed to be the entire conversation when I listened to the posts). So you know (and can remove me from your low as dirt selfish cf developer list), we have built a project the community can use for free. It hasn't launched yet (few more bugs to tweak and an interface to throw on it) but hopefully it will benefit the community. It isn't anything new but hopefully the wow factor will help it out a bit. As a personal note, ask me before making such strong statements and showing your ignorance in relation to my intentions, abilities, and/or desires. If you want to discuss that statement I suggest take it off list (email, phone, IM, whatever) and we can continue from there. BTW, PHP may have a larger following because it is...ummm...FREE! I am a PHP developer and on a php list. The main argument folks have is it is free. Well, and the fact you have to use tags in CF...they don't like that. And what you do with the php ppl is your business. ;-) On 1/9/06, dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No but you can help and thats the point, its pretty pathic when there are thousands of ppl on the list and there are like 3 ppl who volunteered to help.

Big Gateways
Hi, I have a gateway CFC that returns queries for medications. Medications are complex things that have many properties and require many tables to store all the info. As well, there are hundreds of different ways to query the meds. My question is how do people break up their methods in these cases? In one extreme you can have 1 method that accepts many arguments, does some conditional processing and returns a query based on your arguments. In the other extreme you can have hundreds of methods that take no arguments and return a specific query for your specific situation. The advantage of the former case is that it's easy to maintain and make updates since there is only one query. But because of all the conditional processing, every query will run slower. In the latter case, your queries run very fast and serve one simple, logical purpose, but you have hundreds to write and maintain with a lot of code duplication. Like if I needed to change the FROM clause, I'd have to do it for every single one. Does anyone have a good rule of thumb of how to break up their queries?

Re: cf open shopping cart
Well I for one was watching this project kick off with interest. Initially I saw it as an opportunity for me to contribute something back to the community that has been so good to me over quite a few years now. I thought I would gain from it because it would also be good for me to be involved in a collaborative project, because I do nearly everything by myself these days. I know I have some expertise in some aspects of this project, and nearly no expertise in other aspects so I thought I could contribute as well as learn. So i was about to put my hand up and say I'll dive in and help. Then the bickering started. Back and forth about what it was going to be, and what it was going to do. First it was going to be like this, then like that, then like something else, without anyone offering a clear idea of what it was going to be. uh oh, I said to myself this looks just like x - a nighmare of a project I was involved in years ago and it'll be ages before anyone gets anywhere with it. I was about to suggest a functional spec, when someone else pooh-poohed the use of CFCs. Someone said they didnt want to use this new-fangled CFC stuff.They wanted to write the shopping cart using more conventional procedural code. To be frank I saw this as adding nothing to the cf community. there is already an excellent procedural shopping cart thanks to Ben Forta in the CFWACK and quite frankly I dont see what you could do in an open source cart that wasn't already there in the book, and which I've already used, adapted and modified several times. I didnt say anything at the time because most of the participants seemed to like that approach. Rather than try to rain on the parade, I put my hand back down and decided to go my own way. If you guys want to build a new procedural shopping cart, good luck to you, I'll be standing there applauding when and if it's finished. However if anyone wants to take this project in a different direction, I am more than willing to put my shoulder to the wheel.But I'd say there has to be a few things different: - someone has to be elected, appointed or self-appointed as the project leader (look at the success of the model-glue project - due in no small part to the fact that Joe Rinehart has put his personal goolies on the line and has taken charge of it) - There has to be a clear definition of what the project is for. I'm afraid, open source shopping cart doesnt cut it. There are already several that if not free are close to it. Most people either have CFWACK or know someone who has and there have ready access to how to build a procedural shopping cart..What's going to be different about this one? From these two things will flow a proper functional spec and a direction to the project. At this point, since I havent been following the details of the project, you may well have defined the project, but I havent seen it, so I cant offer my help. I'll be glad to add whatever skills and energy I have that might contribute to an open source shopping cart if it's going to be a project that works. And if it's going to add something new to the world. Just another 'me too' shopping cart isnt worth the effort, except that it gives the contributors experience and new skills. And to put it bluntly, I'm interested in developing my skills in the use of CFCs and OOP, not just redoing something I've been doing for eight years now. And that fact that you're lashing about Dave, tells me this project is a mess right now. It needs an objective that will inspire people to be involved. The CFEclipse project has inspired it's contributors because they saw deficiencies in the existing tools and figured they could do a better one. I reckon if they'd started out saying lets build a development tool that's like notepad with a couple of other features it would have gone nowhere.

Re: Big Gateways
I'd say there's one issue with your logic If all you mean by conditional
processing is a bunch of extra IF's and CFSWITCH's etc, then the speed impact
of those compared to database queries should be negligible.
For example, if you have 10 different paths through your big cfc method, based
on your arguments, but each path is as tight as it can be (no redundant
queries, file access etc... only what you need for that path, etc) then you
wouldnt be adding any speed by breaking it up.
That said, however, the larger and more complex your single method becomes, the
less maintainable it will be, and more difficult to debug. In fact, my last
resort for long debugging sessions in cases like this IS to break a large
method up.
So, the answer is, no it probably won't speed things up if there are no steps
you can eliminate (plain IFs and Switches are not speed killers compared to
extra redundant query or file I/O), but YES, you should split things up in
certain places...
Example: let's say you have something like this:
function bigMethod(arg1, arg2, argn){
set sql=;
if (this or that) sql+=something;
else { more stuff }
switch (arg3){
case a:
sql+= something else...
...
...
}
if (arg4){ return QUERY x with sql string}
if (arg5) Return query y with sql string...
}
To break things up, you should think about 2 things. The methods you are
offerring consumers of your CFC , as well as private utility methods, etc.
First break up internal processing into private methods a little bit. This will
help you create building blocks. For example
If you always need to format your query results, make a private method called
formatResults(Qry).
If you always need to build dynamic sql (Even if the FROM tables might differ)
create buildDynamicColumnList(arg-list) and buildDynamicCriteria(arg-list)
If you need to add session/application/permissions, create a
addPermissions(userid) to return custom SQL to append to any query. (Ex: and
UserID=#session.userid#)
If you always need to dynamically select tables, make a selectTables(args)
function
Then your complicated function will look like this:
bigFunction (args) {
set sql= SELECT buildDynamicQuery(args) FROM selectTables(args)
WHERE buildDynamicCriteria(args) AND
addPermissions(session.userid);
CFQUERY name=foo #sql...#/cfquery
return #formatResults(foo)#
}
This is just an example off the top of my head. Something along these lines
will make the internal code easier to follow, easy to maintain, and also allow
you to have multiple smaller public methods which dont have code that needs
lots of changes when a database table is renamed, etc.
Hope this makes some sense (Too early for what I wrote to make complete sense,
I'm sure)

RE: Big Gateways
Dov,
You bring up a lot of good points.
Here is a trimmed down example of one of my queries in a method:
cfquery name=local.ReturnStruct.Query
SELECT DISTINCT MedicationID, Medication, MedicationC
cfif not arguments.DistinctMedication
, BrandNameID, BrandNameManufacturer, BrandName
/cfif
FROM (long from statement)
WHERE 1=1
cfif isDefined('arguments.MedicationID')
AND MedicationID in (cfqueryparam value=#arguments.MedicationID# )
/cfif
cfloop index=local.Keyword list=#arguments.Keywords# delimiters=
AND (Medication like '%#local.Keyword#%'
OR BrandNameManufacturer like '%#local.Keyword#%'
OR BrandName like '%#local.Keyword#%')
/cfloop
cfif arguments.DistinctMedication
ORDER BY Medication
cfelse
cfif len(arguments.OrderBy)
ORDER BY #arguments.OrderBy#
/cfif
/cfif
LIMIT #local.ReturnStruct.StartRow-1#,#local.ReturnStruct.MaxRows#
/cfquery
Now keep in mind that the real query is much longer with more IF's and
arguments. But in this case, for example, I could break up the method so
that it only takes a MedicationID and make another method to search the
keywords. But then I would duplicate 90% of the query...
Thoughts?

Subject: Re: Big Gateways
I'd say there's one issue with your logic If all you mean by conditional
processing is a bunch of extra IF's and CFSWITCH's etc, then the speed
impact of those compared to database queries should be negligible.
For example, if you have 10 different paths through your big cfc method,
based on your arguments, but each path is as tight as it can be (no
redundant queries, file access etc... only what you need for that path, etc)
then you wouldnt be adding any speed by breaking it up.
That said, however, the larger and more complex your single method becomes,
the less maintainable it will be, and more difficult to debug. In fact, my
last resort for long debugging sessions in cases like this IS to break a
large method up.
So, the answer is, no it probably won't speed things up if there are no
steps you can eliminate (plain IFs and Switches are not speed killers
compared to extra redundant query or file I/O), but YES, you should split
things up in certain places...
Example: let's say you have something like this:
function bigMethod(arg1, arg2, argn){
set sql=;
if (this or that) sql+=something;
else { more stuff }
switch (arg3){
case a:
sql+= something else...
...
...
}
if (arg4){ return QUERY x with sql string}
if (arg5) Return query y with sql string...
}
To break things up, you should think about 2 things. The methods you are
offerring consumers of your CFC , as well as private utility methods, etc.
First break up internal processing into private methods a little bit. This
will help you create building blocks. For example
If you always need to format your query results, make a private method
called formatResults(Qry).
If you always need to build dynamic sql (Even if the FROM tables might
differ) create buildDynamicColumnList(arg-list) and
buildDynamicCriteria(arg-list)
If you need to add session/application/permissions, create a
addPermissions(userid) to return custom SQL to append to any query. (Ex:
and UserID=#session.userid#)
If you always need to dynamically select tables, make a selectTables(args)
function
Then your complicated function will look like this:
bigFunction (args) {
set sql= SELECT buildDynamicQuery(args) FROM
selectTables(args)
WHERE buildDynamicCriteria(args) AND
addPermissions(session.userid);
CFQUERY name=foo #sql...#/cfquery
return #formatResults(foo)#
}
This is just an example off the top of my head. Something along these lines
will make the internal code easier to follow, easy to maintain, and also
allow you to have multiple smaller public methods which dont have code that
needs lots of changes when a database table is renamed, etc.
Hope this makes some sense (Too early for what I wrote to make complete
sense, I'm sure)

Hi,
I have a gateway CFC that returns queries for medications. Medications are
complex things that have many properties and require many tables to store
all the info. As well, there are hundreds of different ways to query the
meds.
My question is how do people break up their methods in these cases?
In one extreme you can have 1 method that accepts many arguments, does some
conditional processing and returns a query based on your arguments. In the
other extreme you can have hundreds of methods that take no arguments and
return a specific query for your specific situation. The advantage of the
former case is that it's easy to maintain and make updates since there is
only one query. But because of all the conditional processing, every query
RE: good old CFLOCK question
Baz, Think this through locking the session scope locks THIS session, so you are really keeping the user from interfering with himself. In a sense, using named locks for session scope may be overkill unless you have some kind of polling or long running scripts, or perhaps you are setting or updating the same variable constantly - in that case a named locke would be a good choice I think. Locking the Application scope does indeed lock it for everyone, but the Application scope is usually used in a write once read many fashion. I do not typically lock reads anymore for that scope - just writes so if I'm writing to the scope once (with a scope lock) and then reading from it, there's no real penalty there that I can see. In addition, the Application.cfc approach negates the need to add specific locks because I can now use the onApplicationStart( ) script to set up my variables. The Exception in the case of the application variable is a counter or tracking variable that is updated regularly - tracking logged in users for example. In that case a named lock would keep you from locking the entire scope and make perfect sense. That's my take. -Mark -Original Message- From: Baz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 7:21 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: good old CFLOCK question I know locking questions have come up before... but it's a quickie...

Re: good old CFLOCK question
An application scoped lock works just for that application. A session scoped lock works just for that user's session. It's all a matter of how an app is structured. Take 10 threads that need to write to different data in the application scope for an app; named locks let them all operate at once, while a scoped lock single-threads the app. On 1/10/06, Robert Everland III [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would think that named locks would end up being difficult to manage. You would have to remember that you locked session.variablename with the lock lockname. My question would be is does locking lock the scope for the whole box, or only for that application and that scope. -- CFAJAX docs and other useful articles: http://jr-holmes.coldfusionjournal.com/ ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:229014 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=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
RE: good old CFLOCK question
In my CF4 and CF5 days I found that it was actually faster to lock an entire scope (application) then set multiple variables in that scope before releasing the lock. I'd do something like: cflock scope=Application timeout=30 type=exclusive cfscript if(not isDefined(Application.datasource)) Application.datasource = mydatasource; if(not isDefined(Application.adminname)) Application.adminname = Steve!; ... /cfscript /cflock This ran MUCH faster than doing each one individually.

CFFILE Upload weirdness
Hi. One of the strangest things I've seen yet. This happens on one CF server running 7,0,1,116466 (a client's) but not mine, running the same code and the same version. Simple custom tag. Here is the cffile. cffile action=upload filefield=#filefield# destination=#Attributes.directory##attributes.id# nameconflict=overwrite accept=#accept# When uploading a jpg, named test1.jpg (the name on my computer) to a file named test2.jpg, CF creates a directory named test2.jpg and uploads. If I place the following code right after the cffile. CFOUTPUT#Attributes.directory##attributes.id#/CFOUTPUTcfexit It correctly shows this: C:websites\atip\ezcart\products_tn\test2.jpg Yet the file it places on the server is this: C:websites\atip\ezcart\products_tn\test2.jpg\test1.jpg test2.jpg being a directory created during the process. #file.serverfile# also shows the name as test1.jpg so it's not happening sometime after the initial upload. I've also tried upload a file named as it will be on the server, but then I just get test2.jpg/test2.jpg. I don't get it.

RE: Big Gateways
OK, so if this is what the query looks like (but larger), its probably
pretty efficent, but if you want to break things up, I'd say to do it by
grouping ideas together...
Group 1:
Brand, Manufacturer, and Medication name
Group 2:
Types of Medical Conditions
Group 3:
Active Ingredients, Allergy concerns
Group 4:
Price, Generic Equivalents, or something..
Your private variables/methods could be:
Private variable selectStatement=select FROMx join y
Everything in the from statement WHERE 1=1
Private function runQuery(String queryString){
CFQUERY name=foo #local.SelectStatement# #queryString#
/CFQUERY
return foo;
}
Private _GetMedsByName(keywords){
cfset qryString=
CFIF./CFIF
return qryString;
}
Private _GetMedsByCondition(keywords){
cfset qryString=
CFIF./CFIF
return qryString;
}
Private _GetMedsByIngredients(keywords){
cfset qryString=
CFIF./CFIF
return qryString;
}
Private _GetMedsByPrice(keywords){
cfset qryString=
CFIF./CFIF
qryString;
}
Then you can make public methods like:
GetMedsByName(keywords){
return runQuery(_GetMedsByName(keywords);
GetMedsByCondition(keywords){
return runQuery(_GetMedsByCondition(keywords);
}
GetMedsByIngredients(keywords){
return runQuery(_GetMedsByIngredients(keywords);
}
GetMedsByPrice(keywords){
return runQuery(_GetMedsByIngredients(keywords);
}
Stuff like this helps you make a rich API for users to query...
Then you can make your existing method be:
GetMedsByKeywords(keywords){
cfset qryString=_GetMedsByName(keywords)
_GetMedsByCondition(keywords)
_GetMedsByIngredients(keywords)
_GetMedsByPrice(keywords)
return runQuery(qryString);
}
This is all assuming you still want to break it up... No redundancy if
you do it this way, since everything reusable is reused.

if (this or that) sql+=something;
else { more stuff }

case a:
sql+= something else...

Subject: RE: Big Gateways
OK, so if this is what the query looks like (but larger), its probably
pretty efficent, but if you want to break things up, I'd say to do it by
grouping ideas together...
Group 1:
Brand, Manufacturer, and Medication name
Group 2:
Types of Medical Conditions
Group 3:
Active Ingredients, Allergy concerns
Group 4:
Price, Generic Equivalents, or something..
Your private variables/methods could be:
Private variable selectStatement=select FROMx join y
Everything in the from statement WHERE 1=1
Private function runQuery(String queryString){
CFQUERY name=foo #local.SelectStatement# #queryString#
/CFQUERY
return foo;
}
Private _GetMedsByName(keywords){
cfset qryString=
CFIF./CFIF
return qryString;
}
Private _GetMedsByCondition(keywords){
cfset qryString=
CFIF./CFIF
return qryString;
}
Private _GetMedsByIngredients(keywords){
cfset qryString=
CFIF./CFIF
return qryString;
}
Private _GetMedsByPrice(keywords){
cfset qryString=
CFIF./CFIF
qryString;
}
Then you can make public methods like:
GetMedsByName(keywords){
return runQuery(_GetMedsByName(keywords);
GetMedsByCondition(keywords){
return runQuery(_GetMedsByCondition(keywords);
}
GetMedsByIngredients(keywords){
return runQuery(_GetMedsByIngredients(keywords);
}
GetMedsByPrice(keywords){
return runQuery(_GetMedsByIngredients(keywords);
}
Stuff like this helps you make a rich API for users to query...
Then you can make your existing method be:
GetMedsByKeywords(keywords){
cfset qryString=_GetMedsByName(keywords)
_GetMedsByCondition(keywords)
_GetMedsByIngredients(keywords)
_GetMedsByPrice(keywords)
return runQuery(qryString);
}
This is all assuming you still want to break it up... No redundancy if
you do it this way, since everything reusable is reused.

Subject: RE: Big Gateways
Dov,
You bring up a lot of good points.
Here is a trimmed down example of one of my queries in a method:
cfquery name=local.ReturnStruct.Query SELECT DISTINCT MedicationID,
Medication, MedicationC
cfif not arguments.DistinctMedication
, BrandNameID, BrandNameManufacturer, BrandName
/cfif
FROM (long from statement)
WHERE 1=1
cfif isDefined('arguments.MedicationID')
AND MedicationID in (cfqueryparam
value=#arguments.MedicationID# )
/cfif
cfloop index=local.Keyword list=#arguments.Keywords#
delimiters=
AND (Medication like '%#local.Keyword#%'
OR BrandNameManufacturer like '%#local.Keyword#%'
OR BrandName like '%#local.Keyword#%')
/cfloop
cfif arguments.DistinctMedication
ORDER BY Medication
cfelse
cfif len(arguments.OrderBy)
ORDER BY #arguments.OrderBy#
/cfif
/cfif
LIMIT #local.ReturnStruct.StartRow-1#,#local.ReturnStruct.MaxRows#
/cfquery
Now keep in mind that the real query is much longer with more IF's and
arguments. But in this case, for example, I could break up the method so
that it only takes a MedicationID and make another method to search the
keywords. But then I would duplicate 90% of the query...
Thoughts?

I'd say there's one issue with your logic If all you mean by
conditional processing is a bunch of extra IF's and CFSWITCH's etc, then
the speed impact of those compared to database queries should be
negligible.
For example, if you have 10 different paths through your big cfc method,
based on your arguments, but each path is as tight as it can be (no
redundant queries, file access etc... only what you need for that path,
etc) then you wouldnt be adding any speed by breaking it up.
That said, however, the larger and more complex your single method
becomes, the less maintainable it will be, and more difficult to debug.
In fact, my last resort for long debugging sessions in cases like this
IS to break a large method up.
So, the answer is, no it probably won't speed things up if there are no
steps you can eliminate (plain IFs and Switches are not speed killers
compared to extra redundant query or file I/O), but YES, you should
split things up in certain places...
Example: let's say you have something like this:
function bigMethod(arg1, arg2, argn){
set sql=;
if (this or that) sql+=something;
else { more stuff }
switch (arg3){
case a:
sql+= something

Outside of a query you could do something like... - Loop through all your delimiters getting the first index of each.

RE: action script copy by value
Kevin,
I haven't cleared my cache recently, but I did find out why it wasn't
working. If I just have a cfgrid populated by a query, I can do
myGrid.dataProvider.slice(0) and get a copy of all the items in the
list. I found out the PROBLEM is when I change the data provider with
flash remoting: myGrid.dataProvider = results;
After I do that, slice(0) magically stops returning anything, and if I
get rid of the slice, I get a pointer to the data, not a copy of it. My
work around for now is simply to loop over the dataProvider list and
build a new array one item at a time like this:
var backupDP = [];
for(var i:Number = 0; i grd_reconcile.dataProvider.length; i++)
{
backupDP.push(grd_reconcile.dataProvider.getItemAt(i));
}
Probably not the most efficient, but it works for now.
It seems every decent language should have a way to copy by reference
AND by value (without a slice(0) hack), but I haven't figured it out yet
with Actionscript.
On a funny note-- I posted a question to the flex livedocs the other day
asking if the columns in a data grid object could be made draggable (in
order to let the users drag them around and order them easily) I got a
reply back from an employee of Macromedia telling me that he didn't know
the answer to my question. Now tell me, if the company who WROTE the
software can't answer questions about it, who can?? He referred me to
the macromedia forumns. Nice try-- I asked that exact question in the
forums a couple weeks ago and never got a SINGLE reply. *sigh*

RE: cf open shopping cart
Like was said before, what this project needs is a good project manager to manage the whole thing. Somebody needs to either a. build the whole thing themselves and let people add features or b. figure out the spec and possibly through a round of RFC's solidify it and then break it up and have different developers work on it. The project will never take off the ground if somebody doesn't take lead. It doesn't have to be the best shopping cart right off the bat, I'm sure that there will be a lot of learning while the cart gets to v1, and probably a huge revamp to get to v2, where it will probably finally be a usable product.

Initially I saw it as an opportunity for me to contribute something back to the community that has been so good to me over quite a few years now. I thought I would gain from it because it would also be good for me to be involved in a collaborative project, because I do nearly everything by myself these days. I know I have some expertise in some aspects of this project, and nearly no expertise in other aspects so I thought I could contribute as well as learn. So i was about to put my hand up and say I'll dive in and help. Then the bickering started. Back and forth about what it was going to be, and what it was going to do. First it was going to be like this, then like that, then like something else, without anyone offering a clear idea of what it was going to be. uh oh, I said to myself this looks just like x - a nighmare of a project I was involved in years ago and it'll be ages before anyone gets anywhere with it. I was about to suggest a functional spec, when someone else pooh-poohed the use of CFCs. Someone said they didnt want to use this new-fangled CFC stuff.They wanted to write the shopping cart using more conventional procedural code. To be frank I saw this as adding nothing to the cf community. there is already an excellent procedural shopping cart thanks to Ben Forta in the CFWACK and quite frankly I dont see what you could do in an open source cart that wasn't already there in the book, and which I've already used, adapted and modified several times. I didnt say anything at the time because most of the participants seemed to like that approach. Rather than try to rain on the parade, I put my hand back down and decided to go my own way. If you guys want to build a new procedural shopping cart, good luck to you, I'll be standing there applauding when and if it's finished. However if anyone wants to take this project in a different direction, I am more than willing to put my shoulder to the wheel.But I'd say there has to be a few things different: - someone has to be elected, appointed or self-appointed as the project leader (look at the success of the model-glue project - due in no small part to the fact that Joe Rinehart has put his personal goolies on the line and has taken charge of it) - There has to be a clear definition of what the project is for. I'm afraid, open source shopping cart doesnt cut it. There are already several that if not free are close to it. Most people either have CFWACK or know someone who has and there have ready access to how to build a procedural shopping cart..What's going to be different about this one? From these two things will flow a proper functional spec and a direction to the project. At this point, since I havent been following the details of the project, you may well have defined the project, but I havent seen it, so I cant offer my help. I'll be glad to add whatever skills and energy I have that might contribute to an open source shopping cart if it's going to be a project that works. And if it's going to add something new to the world. Just another 'me too' shopping cart isnt worth the effort, except that it gives the contributors experience

Come to think of it the only ads I remember recently are those damn blinking ads online. Don't know what they are advertising I just know they are annoying as all hell. Oh yeah and those panic ads for energy bills, cell phones, etc.. on the radio. The one where some lady walks in to find her husband passed out on the floor from having opened the outrageous bill. Then as he comes to, she looks at the bill and passes out. I don't have enough stress and anxiety in my life I need some panic attack on the radio too. I know the concept of the ad but I have idea of the specific product being advertised. I usually turn the station. Moved to cf-community as Annoying commercials. Again, sorry for offending you that wasn't my intent. -Original Message- From: DURETTE, STEVEN J (AIT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The campaign wasn't e-mail based (as far as I know). ATT bought up a HUGE amount of banner space. HUGE amounts of screen space in New York when the ball came down. I don't know where they got the numbers from but my guess is that it was the fact that they put banner adds anywhere they could find them and then went with the hits/users that the ad companies reported to them. Again I was NOT part of the ad team, so all of my opinions are my own. :) Steve Confidentiality Notice: This message including any attachments is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Fusebox IFrame Bug
Not sure who to blame on this one but what I'm finding is that when using FuseBox 4.1 framework I have a page that has an Iframe in the middle of it which shows another page from the framework - When the entire page is loaded all at once, I'll get random Framework/Fusebox errors within the Iframe window Every Time the main page is loaded I.e. Element FUSEBOX.FUSEACTIONVARIABLE is undefined in APPLICATION Or other errors that seem to come from my application - Process is: a. User navigates to URL index.cfm?fuse=x.y b. Page is loaded and has an embedded Iframe which calls index.cfm?fuse=x.z c. Iframe area always throws a Fusebox type error in the window instead of properly loading index.cfm?fuse=x.z d. I right click and reload Iframe window - works fine every time. So I right click and refresh/reload the IFRame all by itself, the page comes up fine, the url is the same and no errors ever. It's like there's some sort of 'conflict' for the framework call when there is a fusebox page that has an Iframe embedded in itself which calls another framework circuit. Anyone ever encounter this before or know of a work around? (Other than putting the IFRame page call outside of the Framework) Thanks Kevin Penny, MMCP ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:229038 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

undefined struct element
We occasionally see users come to the site with bad cookies, meaning that if I dump the cookies, i find an entry (say foo) whose value is: [undefined struct element] I think that isDefined(cookie.foo) returns TRUE, but if I try to do this: cfset variables.foo = cookie.foo then variable.foo is undefined. i see this most frequently in IE5, but have seen in IE6 and others as well.

Re: cf open shopping cart
I think your judgment of others not wanting to join your project is a little off. It's kind of odd to attack others for not sharing desire to work on a particular project. Why is it that you think everyone in the community should share YOUR priorities? Why do you think everyone else should necessarily think the project is important or would be worth spending their time working on? Maybe if you want cheapie free crap, PHP is where you should be looking in the first place. It's not all attributable to laziness. Take me for instance, few people in this world would ever call me lazy, but you'll certainly not catch me participating in a project like this. I wish those who do all the best, but there's just no upside in it for me. It's certainly not something I'd ever choose to do with my spare time, of which I have very little to begin with. I work my ass off all day long and then I go home and concentrate on my #1 priority - kids. Then, in the small amount of spare time I do have, I'll work on attaining new rental property, playing hockey and climbing. I can't tell you how far down the list of leisure-time activities I'd have to go before I found the bullet point, working on an open source project. So, I think it's more a matter of people's priorities than it is with whether or not they're lazy. Some of you guys like to go home from your dev jobs and sit in front of a computer and that's fine for you. For those like me though, we'd have to be forced at gunpoint to stare at a monitor for more time than it takes to add some new stuff to the iPod after getting home from a long day at work. I'm guessing that's the main reason that these projects are difficult to get done and it's hardly something for which they/we ought to be attacked. If you want to do something and it's important to you, then why don't you get off YOUR lazy ass and do it instead of expecting others to get it done and attacking the community at large for not sharing your desire to work on it. --Ferg dave wrote: I agree with some of justins points but the other communities don't seem to have that excuse so why should we? It's just people being lazy is all it is Personally, I don't care, if i need a quick solution I'll just go over to the php community and get it. With my tail between my legs and be ridiculed because the cfm community is so self centered and lame. They are right, we don't have crap, no wonder why we are perceived how we are. Casey, you could be right to but why even try, can't you see that cfm dev'rs don't care enough, except the rays of the community which aren't very many. I'd be first on board but now i'm gunna be like everyone else and say sorry but I'm too important to help with such a petty project, instead I'm gunna go drive around in my yugo and listen to geek podcasts while stalking hot chics...

RE: action script copy by value
Hey Brad,
I've been working with Flash longer than most, so I'll try and answer your
questions.
It seems every decent language should have a way to copy by reference
AND by value (without a slice(0) hack), but I haven't figured it out yet
with Actionscript.
--Nope. You can use an loop or a couple different hacks.
myGrid.dataProvider = results;
After I do that, slice(0) magically stops returning anything, and if I
get rid of the slice, I get a pointer to the data, not a copy of it.
--The statement above is using the remoting bindings and 'results' refers to
an object, not an array.
If the columns in a data grid object could be made draggable (in
order to let the users drag them around and order them easily).
--Short answer... no. Long answer... by subclassing the datagrids classes
and than extending the columns class, you could do it. Of course you'd need
a pretty deep knowledge of the AS2 framework and UIObject though...

Kevin

Subject: RE: action script copy by value
Kevin,
I haven't cleared my cache recently, but I did find out why it wasn't
working. If I just have a cfgrid populated by a query, I can do
myGrid.dataProvider.slice(0) and get a copy of all the items in the
list. I found out the PROBLEM is when I change the data provider with
flash remoting: myGrid.dataProvider = results;
After I do that, slice(0) magically stops returning anything, and if I
get rid of the slice, I get a pointer to the data, not a copy of it. My
work around for now is simply to loop over the dataProvider list and
build a new array one item at a time like this:
var backupDP = [];
for(var i:Number = 0; i grd_reconcile.dataProvider.length; i++)
{
backupDP.push(grd_reconcile.dataProvider.getItemAt(i));
}
Probably not the most efficient, but it works for now.
It seems every decent language should have a way to copy by reference
AND by value (without a slice(0) hack), but I haven't figured it out yet
with Actionscript.
On a funny note-- I posted a question to the flex livedocs the other day
asking if the columns in a data grid object could be made draggable (in
order to let the users drag them around and order them easily) I got a
reply back from an employee of Macromedia telling me that he didn't know
the answer to my question. Now tell me, if the company who WROTE the
software can't answer questions about it, who can?? He referred me to
the macromedia forumns. Nice try-- I asked that exact question in the
forums a couple weeks ago and never got a SINGLE reply. *sigh*

Re: SOT: Aqua Studio / Oracle
I'm not familiar with that particular tool. But, it shouldn't matter that you have a column named patchid. It would matter if you had another object called patchid (table, trigger, proc, etc). In which case you should get an error about it already existing. You can just run the query select patchid.nextval from dual; to see if it worked properly. Also, in the tool that I use, there are two ways to execute - either via script or as a statement. If you're executing as a statement, you can't have the semi-colon. As script you can. In my tool, you get an error that says, invalid character if you try to execute something as a statment that's actually a script. I use TOAD, by the way, which has a free version. Tis very nice, I highly recommend it. As an aside, you do realize that your'e not creating an auto-incrementing field ala access or sql server, right? You're creating a sequence that you can use to populate the field. -d On 1/10/06, Stuart Kidd [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for that Hatton.

I typically prepend my sequence names with SEQ_ and then the table that I intend to use it with. So if for table PATCHES I would call mine SEQ_PATCHES.

RE: action script copy by value
The biggest still being how on Earth to attach a click listener to checkbox
in a cfgrid when using cfgridcolumn type=Boolean
-- I haven't dove too deep into Flash Forms (Flex2 is my next endeavor), so
I might be off in left field...
From within Flash, to even get a checkbox or anything other than plaintext
into a datagrid cell, you have to use a custom cell renderer. This
renderer is really just a class that receives the data for the cell and
provides the layout and even capabilities for the cell. Within this class,
you could further alter how events are handled.
Here's my quick fix for this. If you can get any event at all for the
contents of the cell, than trigger the event for the other or simply include
the event's callback within only 1 handler and act accordingly.
So if you had...
function handleCKBox ():Void {
trace (Checkbox clicked);
}
function handleCell ():Void {
trace (Cell clicked);
}
Than you could just combine them and use conditionals to handle it...
function handleEvent ():Void
{
trace (Checkbox clicked);
trace (Cell clicked);
}

RE: action script copy by value
Thanks Kevin.
I had assumed that Cold Fusion simply assigned a special cellRenderer to
that column to generate the check box. The only think is, I don't have
access to the code in that cellRenderer since it is encapsulated in the
cfgridcolumn tag. I don't know if it is possible to modify the
cellRenderer after the form loads, or if all of its internal methods are
private. I have a feeling that the current cellRenderer is eating the
click event and not passing it along to the grid. If I could find an
already-made checkbox cellRenderer then I could to use that one instead
and then have the ability to tweak the code. I'm not sure where to look
online a pre-built example of something like that. If I were to have
code I could modify I would do a lot better than having to write
something myself.

RE: OT: Eclipse is the One Ring?
LOL, yeah I guess if you follow the logic through from the books, then that would be the correct conclusion. But really this was just a silly diversion.

Retaining form data after navigating away?
I'm sure there is an elegant solution to this, I just don't know what it is. I have a form. Text fields, dropdowns, that sort of thing. One dropdown field has companies with a listing of companies. If a company is not in the dropdown, the user needs to add that company to the database, which is a form on a different page. This requires that the user navigates away from the form, but they might have already entered some data in the original form. I don't want to have them retype the info. The approach I am headed towards now is having the add company link actually submit the form to an interstitial page that dumps the form data into a session.redirect structure that I created, then redirects the user to the add company form. The problem I am having is that the data in the session.redirect structure is being lost when the interstitial page redirects to the add company form, so all the original form data (and the URL that should be navigated back to) is being lost. Is there a more elegant solution to this problem?

RE: Professional Opinions on HostMySite.com
I have heard a lot of good things about them, but lately their response has been less then stellar. It's true that when you call them up you get to speak to somebody most of the time. Except that somebody is usually either a CSR or a low level tech. If you need something to get done that requires any skill at all, it will be forwarded to a higher level tech that's impossible to get on the phone. So far I've been very disappointed. Now, perhaps, what I'm asking for is unreasonable (I need a load balancer configured a certain way), but the response I've been getting is horrible. It takes them half a day to respond to a ticket on this issue, and they tell me it's done, and when I test it, it still doesn't work. And same thing the next day. If they are really as good as people say they are then in my opinion they are very understaffed right now, so I wouldn't expect to get good support. If you can afford it, go with rackspace. They have great support, and you can actually speak on the phone to a real tech that handles your problem. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to communicate to the tech handling my situation either through email or playing broken telephone with a CSR.

RE: Retaining form data after navigating away?
I have done this before by having them add the company in a popup window. After the popup saves and right before it closes, call a function in the opener window to reload the options in the drop down. A hidden iframe works nicely here. Refresh the iframe which has a query-built JavaScript loop to rebuild the option in the dropdown which is in its parent. I think that sounded more complicated than it actually is-- once you get it working it is kind of nice. If you really to pass everything along, you can just keep track of it in hidden fields, or loop over your form collection and built a query string of names and values you can store in a hidden fields and pass back in when they make it full circle back to the original form. Of course, the form will need to be coded properly to repopulate itself. I'd go with the pop up and the iframe trick. ~Brad -Original Message- From: Pete Ruckelshaus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 12:18 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Retaining form data after navigating away?

If you can depend on JS, I'd go with it. You could have a link that pops up a window with the company name form (or even makes a hidden div with the form in it visible). When it's submitted, add it to the database and append the new option to the drop down (via JS) with the new company info. Then close the company form or whatever...

I'd go with the pop up and the iframe trick. ~Brad -Original Message- From: Pete Ruckelshaus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 12:18 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Retaining form data after navigating away? I'm sure there is an elegant solution to this, I just don't know what it is. I have a form. Text fields, dropdowns, that sort of thing. One dropdown field has companies with a listing of companies. If a company is not in the dropdown, the user needs to add that company to the database, which is a form on a different page. This requires that the user navigates away from the form, but they might have already entered some data in the original form. I don't want to have them retype the info. The approach I am headed towards now is having the add company link actually submit the form to an interstitial page that dumps the form data into a session.redirect structure that I created, then redirects the user to the add company form.

Re: Retaining form data after navigating away?
How about, on the same form, you give them the option to enter the name of the nonexistent company. Then, on your action page, if you detect that they entered a new company, catch that and have them finish entering that data. Then you can continue and handle the results of the first form after that... --Ferg Pete Ruckelshaus wrote: I'm sure there is an elegant solution to this, I just don't know what it is. I have a form.

RE: Professional Opinions on HostMySite.com
I've got a couple of small sites (~1000 sessions/day) on their CF Builder+ plan (which they recently more-or-less doubled the specs of at no cost). Been very happy with them. Had one or two problems with their control panel admin interface but when I submit a support ticket everything gets dealt with very quickly. They keep wishing me in a good evening when it's the middle of the day but that's because they're in some wacky time zone (i.e. the US). -Original Message- From: Scott Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 11 January 2006 7:31 a.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: Professional Opinions on HostMySite.com All, The company that I work for is considering HostMySite.com to host our web and email presence.

Re: Professional Opinions on HostMySite.com
Scott, I have sites for three of my clients hosted there. I've been generally happy with them. We've had a few technical difficulties, but the problems were addressed. The sites that I have there depend on regular FTP uploads from the client's location, and we have had two problems with that. 1. Two of the sites were apparently at one datacenter and one was at the other. On the two, the FTP upload would fail. It took a bit of legwork to prove to hostmysite that the problem was on their end...but once they realized that I had a site at one datacenter that was working well, they moved both of the other sites there as well...no problems since. 2. Whatever program they use for FTP keeps a cached value for your disk limit. As you FTP items up, it adds to that value. In the case of these sites, we FTP a lot up, but it is not all kept up there...there is further processing that may delete some items or overwrite others. But the FTP program thinks you have reached your limit when you haven't and you have to call them to reset the value. They turned off the checking for the main site where this was a problem when I pointed this out. And generally I have had a human who was reasonably competent answering the phone when I called. The only other CF host I have had much experience with is Intermedia...and hostmysite beats them hands down.

I have nothing but good things to say about their hosting. A client of mine is using them now and I have used them in the past. Excellent service, not that I have had anything complicated like adjusting load balancing. Uptime has been great. I would use them again for sure.

Re: Combining verity results with database query
As a follow up to this post, in case anybody has the same problem I did, I had to put the word key in brackets...something like... WHERE dbResults.primaryID = verityResults.[key] This was in MX7 running on a W2K Server box. -jim And did you try it without table aliases and with the join in the where clause: SELECT dbResults.primaryID AS primaryID, verityResults.score AS score FROM dbResults, verityResults WHERE dbResults.primaryID = verityResults.key ORDER BY verityResults.score DESC This has definitely worked for me in the past (on CF5) Pascal George ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:229094 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=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

RE: Retaining form data after navigating away?
Here are some snippets of code. I actually use a handy custom tag so
most of this doesn't have to be re-written every time I want to
dynamically change a drop down. It is pretty flexible, but I am sure
you can take from it what you want/need when you see what it is doing.
There are several ways to skin this cat.
Let me know if this all makes any sense. :-)
After your popup saves to the database, you would run something like
this from the popup:
script language=JavaScript1.1
opener.window.reload_dropdown();
window.close();
/script
The main page with the form would have something like this:
iframe frameborder=0 width=0 height=0 name=iframe_reloader id=
iframe_reloader src=about:blank scrolling=Yes/iframe
script language=javaScript
function reload_dropdown()
{
document.iframe_reloader.location.href = 'reloader.cfm';
}
/script
In your reloader.cfm file (any of the options can be passed in to
control how this works dynamically.):
Run a query to get the new list of companies...
cfparam name=url.formname default= name_of_your_form
cfparam name=url.formfield default= company_dropdown_field
cfparam name=url.valuefield default= query_column_for_option_value
cfparam name=url.displayfield default= query_column_for_option_text
cfparam name=url.selectedindex default=
cfparam name=url.suppress_first_blank_option default=false
script language=JavaScript1.1
cfset selectedindexset = 0
var mForm = parent.document.#url.formname#;
var i;
//alert(#url.selectedindex#);
cfif locRecordCount gt 0
cfset locIndex = 0
cfif not url.suppress_first_blank_option
cfset locRecordCount = locRecordCount + 1
mForm.#url.formfield#.options.length =
#locRecordCount#;
mForm.#url.formfield#.options[#locIndex#].text = '';
mForm.#url.formfield#.options[#locIndex#].value = '';
cfset locIndex = locIndex + 1
cfelse
mForm.#url.formfield#.options.length =
#locRecordCount#;
/cfif
cfloop query=query_name
mForm.#url.formfield#.options[#locIndex#].text =
'#jsstringformat(evaluate(url.displayfield))#';
mForm.#url.formfield#.options[#locIndex#].value =
'#jsstringformat(evaluate(url.valuefield))#';
//alert('#url.selectedindex# \n
#evaluate(url.valuefield)#');
cfif url.selectedindex EQ evaluate(url.valuefield) OR
url.selectedindex EQ evaluate(url.displayfield)
cfset selectedindexset = 1
mForm.#url.formfield#.selectedIndex =
#locIndex#;
//alert(#locIndex#);
!--- If there is only one record on the
preload, automatically select that option by default ---
cfelseif locRecordCount EQ 2
cfset selectedindexset = 1
mForm.#url.formfield#.selectedIndex =
#locIndex#;
