Re: Changes not reflected
There are several other possible causes/solutions: [A] Put a "do not cache" command in the header of the page. This prevents proxy servers and browsers from caching the page. Upside: you see your new page as soon as you refresh. Downside: you lose the advantages of caching. so once you're done developing, comment out or remove the command. To do this, just put the following in the header area of your page (between the and tags: [B] if you have access to the CFAdministator, you can turn off Trusted Cache (in the caching area of the Administrator. Turning on trusted cache is a good thing to do when you dont have a lot of changes to the pages. The server isnt asked to check every time if the version of a page on the hard drive is the same as the one in the cache. Great for production sites, but bad while you are developing (which in my case is all the time). So if your site isnt mature and stable, and you're developing all the time, turn off trusted cache, to force the server to check each page request to see if the one it has in the cache is the same as the one on the hard drive. In a shared hosting environment, we always have trusted cache turned off because of the fact that there is never a time when there are no users developing pages.

But what about from the standpoint that they are both tasks on the same "object"? Personally, I like having one "page" handle everything for that "object", especially since most of my CRUD is done with a one line tag, so having a whole file for one line of code seems wasteful. Whenever a page gets long, I make a CFC or cfinclude anyways, but it's still nice having all the page logic in one page. Maybe. I'm really of two minds here. I see the validity of splitting things out in a lot of really small files, vs. a few middle, or one or two really long ones... but really, where you split is a key factor, and sometimes it's not intuitive at all, when you're on a scale of years and such, that by splitting early you're saving time later. And then there's the whole, "who cares if it could save some time X years from now; we're in the here and now; there are three options, pick too" type deal. If only I knew how to use a simicolon. :-P I know there are raging philosophies about this, and the right answer is contextual, etc.. It's fun stuff to talk about and mull over though. -Denny ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:254183 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Displaying images from SQL Server in Fusebox
Another thing to check, since you've gone the DB image route (which, BTW, IMHO, can be a great way to go) you should also verify that you've set the datasource to pass large chunks of data. I think with .GIFs you'd see a part of the image at least, but with JPG if it get's cut off, you won't see anything. I might have that backwards... Anyway, I think CF defaults to like a 65k chunk at a time, which will need to be increased if you're trying a larger image, or don't have them broke up in 65k chunks. It's probably the thing Sandra mentions below though.

Mostly because I forgot to switch it. ;^) The original library was designed to be a Static member of Object or (using another method) added directly to the Object prototype. This gave you some nice abilities, for example you could chain method calls: MyArray.dpDump().split().dpDump() Also with it added as a static method to Object there's really no footprint on the page - no new variables added. But in the end it makes more sense to create a single global to hold everything (as I've done with my other libraries recently). So I did. The version now available for download places everything into a "DP_Debug" object and doesn't modify the base JavaScript Object at all.

I recently had the same situation come up and ended up choosing the security-by-obscurity approach. I generated a key as you did and stored it in a file outside of the web root.

Re: Database Interations - overloaded sites
Database data is also less volatile than session data. If a person is called away from your signup process in the middle, and comes back after the session has expired, do you want them to be kicked back to start over? The answer might be Yes but you need to plan for stuff like that. One thing I would be leery of is relying on session vars on a shared CF server (i.e. a $20 or $50 monthly hosting account). If this is a box dedicated to your site I wouldn't worry so much, if at all. There's no set rule for any of this, but definitely less db access a good thing.

Re: best practices for encryption
The correct answer to your question really depends on the specifics of the job at hand.

Re: Software to Start/Stop Groups of Services.
In the ACME Guide, it shows you how to create batch files that execute a serious of net start and net stop commands in one batch file. Though, it is more elegant to have some sort of system tray icon, but it works the same. Also, make sure everything does not start up when the laptop starts up. I tend to only keep my JRUN admin service running and have my databases turned off and my coldfusion instances off as well.

Re: Session variables problem
Well, you don't really use the cfapplication tag in application.cfc. You use the "this" scope before the first cffunction to set the application wide values. There is a good quick reference from Ray Camden on application.cfc that can help you choose to stay with application.cfm or use the application.cfc. http://ray.camdenfamily.com/downloads/app.pdf Teddy On 9/25/06, Ian Skinner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > In an application.cfm or application.cfc file so that it is automatically > included at the top of every page in the same directory and its > sub-directories. > > > > > -- > Ian Skinner > Web Programmer > BloodSource > www.BloodSource.org > Sacramento, CA > > - > | 1 | | > - Binary Soduko > | | | > - > > "C code.

spamassassin stopping cftalk messages
I was noticing that quite a few messages from cftalk were not getting through to me...and finally had a chance to investigate. Apparently my server's spamassassin install doesn't like a lot of the messages that come through. Mainly it looks like this is due to the messages having elements that look like they come from Outlook ($ in the message id), but then don't list Outlook as the x-mailer. So if you haven't been getting all the cftalk messages, you might want to check your spam program. Of course, the people who really need to know this will just have this message sitting in their spam-can. Most of the messages that were denied had a spam report similar to the following: X-Spam-Report: * 0.0 UNPARSEABLE_RELAY Informational: message has unparseable relay * lines * 2.2 MSGID_DOLLARS Message-Id has pattern used in spam * 1.4 RATWARE_MS_HASH Bulk email fingerprint (msgid ms hash) found * 1.9 RATWARE_OUTLOOK_NONAME Bulk email fingerprint (Outlook no name) * found ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:254138 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

tag is typically stored in the application.cfm file. Though if you are using CF MX, application.cfc is recommended more as it provides more features, organization and better event based code use.

Re: Placing a pointer in cfchart
Richard,
There is a chart available that does what you want. It is not documented so
you'll have to use the chart editor to find it.
In {cfxm root}/charting/ there is a file called webcharts.bat
Dbl-click this and that will launch a Java-based editor. It may take a while to
launch.
Once it has launched, click file->New and from the dialog box pick the yellow
chart in the middle row on the left. This will give the option of two charts
that resemble gauges. Choose one and then modify the properties to adjust
colors and so on.
If you need help there is a pdf file in the same directory.

Re: Session variables problem
This sounds like the culprit. In order to use a certain session with a certain application name, the application.cfm or application.cfc needs to be ina parent folder or in the same folder. Example Assume foo.cfm is calling a session variable. \application.cfc \folder1\foo.cfm This would work. \folder1\application.cfc \foo.cfm This would not. Makes sense?

Are you perhaps doing a cflocation after setting the session? If so, there is a know bug that I don't think ever got resolved that precludes you from doing that.

Re: best practices for encryption
If you use Encrypt, you will need the same key to Decrypt the data back. There are multiple types of encryption that CF supports, so you may want to research into which one fits you best. You may want to look up the ideas of adding an additional string to your encryption. A good idea is to have a UUID and a the string you want to encrypt concatenated together to provide that much more level of complexity to decrypt. I have heard this called "adding salt." Also, when you pass the value to some action page, it is in clear text, so you might want to put the process to encrypt a string for DB insertion in a SSL encrypter folder. I have seen the key stored in the application.cfm and .cfc files for ease of decryption or stored in a file that is not in the webroot. Either way, you need to make sure it is not stored in a publically accessible area.

Re: Session variables problem
1) is session management enabled in a tag? 2) that's some ugly naming conventions right there. too many variables with the same name. 3) why not just create the struct in the session? session.student = structNew(); session.student.name = "Fred"; 4) if you do plan on copying a local variable structure into another scope (e.g. session), be aware that structs are copied by reference. if you want a deep copy, you'll want the duplicate() function. e.g. variables.student = structNew(); session.student = duplicate(varibles.student); On 9/25/06, Richard White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am having trouble with the session variables.

best practices for encryption
So, first time I've ever ran into the need to encrypt data in my DB, and I already have a question. When using the Encrypt function in CF, one must supply a key, I'm using the GenerateSecretKey function to get said key. My question is, once I've stored the encrypted field in the database, where do I store the key so that I can use the decrypt function on the other side to retrieve the data? Should generate a new key for every string, or use one that will work on the entire DB? Never been down this road before, so any pointers would be helpful. ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:254117 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Database Interations - overloaded sites
how do you feel about storing data in the session variable. as i think for storing the data in it will be great as if they are navigating among pages and come back to a page they were on before, then i would just check to see if the data is in the session variables. This would drastically lessen on the load on the database and the pre-processing needed for each page. but i see what you mean it depends on the amount of data that will be getting stored in the session variable. if it is down to judgement, there are certain wizards where the users will go through around 10 steps for each course they are undertaking. at the end of these wizards the session variables holding the data can be flushed. So i see what you mean it is all dependant on what you are doing thanks ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:254112 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Database Interations - overloaded sites
thanks for your reply alan. the system is not quite a complicated as a spreadsheet system, but also not a system for standardised data. The system could appear to be like a course management system, therefore each users data will be different. so although it wont need as much interaction with the database as a spreadsheet, i cant used cached data on the server or applicatiion variables.

I've always handled this by just making them dependent services. So stopping one forces stopping of what is dependent, etc. Maybe not the best sollution, but worked for my needs.

Re: Database Interations - overloaded sites
Well, the question is more complicated than that. It really comes down to what your system does. If it's an online spreadsheet program, theres going to be a large amount of database interaction and you are not going to be able to store very much of it in the session. Now, if it's some sort of logged in intranet/extranet where users come to get standardized information, that may be stored in the database, you can do all sort od preformance tuning using cached queries in shared scopes like Application or Server. It all depends on what level of data interaction your app will expose to the users. -- Alan Rother Macromedia Certified Advanced ColdFusion MX 7 Developer ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:254103 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

XML tour dates in Flash along with "click for more details".
I have an performance artist website that I'm building. She would like tour dates to be pulled into Flash, and appear like so: DATETIMELOCATIONDETAILS - 9-21-2006 7pm your concert hall click for details 10-01-2006 8pm local club click for details 9-21-2006 7pm your concert hall click for details 9-21-2006 7pm your concert hall click for details I've got an FLA that almost does this. But what it does is to create a single movie clip for each line, then you click that line to "view details". The problem is that FLA uses a fixed number of buttons and a isn't set up for the main list to scroll. So I need to display the XML data along with a click for more button that simply hides the XML list and shows the details for the selected event. When the user has satisfied their curiousity, they can close the details and go back to the list. Does anyone have something like this or have a link to a tutorial that would show me how to achieve this? ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:254097 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: Posting variables
You can also double post the fields with original data. form.lastname_orriginal, form.lastname_new, then compare the values on your action page. This could then serve as the comparison operator for your javascript coloring. If the 2 values don't match, change background to red, if the user changes it back it goes green again, etc. The other option is to have your color function update a list that you store in a hidden form element. This list contains the fieldnames that have changed, then just loop over the list and update as needed. I don't like this as its extremely JS dependent, and your app breaks if JS is disabled. I'm not a big fan of this either sollution, but it accomplishes what your looking to do. Unless your updates span many tables, I don't feel your saving much database time by only updating 3 fields vs 30 fields, and your adding some effort in pre-processing now. I've not tested, but I bet the pre-processing in CF is more expensive than the additional fields in the insert. However, as I said before, the number of tables your updating would impact this significantly.

Re: Displaying images from SQL Server in Fusebox
I'm going to look into the HTTP Proxy Debugger As for my code, I believe I have all bases covered: dsp_setImage.cfm --> SELECT attachment FROM images WHERE task_index = #attributes.dTaskIndex# dsp_view.cfm --> This leads to a broken image. When I add the query and cfcontent to the actual dsp_view page, then the image takes over the ENTIRE display -- hiding the header, footer, navigation and other content associated with that file.

Re: Posting variables
Updating one column verses 10 or even 50 wont make much difference PLUS this is done on the DB server, so CF just passes this on (if it's on 2 different servers). You wont see a performance increase from updating only a few columns. If you wanted the colors thingy.. you could use a Confirm page.. have the update page post data to a confirm page "Are you sure you want to overwrite these variables", or whatever. There you could actually check the form data against the DB data... But anyways, yeah if you wanted it on fly, you'd have to use JS or some client side language to change the colors.

RE: Posting variables
I've done something like that. My method was to have a hidden form field with the original data and compare it to the submitted data. ... Of course, I'd loop on form.fieldnames (or a custom list of field names to check) so I wouldn't have to repeat the same code for every field. Another option might be to use JavaScript to disable the unchanged fields. Disabled fields aren't in the FORM scope of the action page. -Original Message- From: Richard White Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 1:54 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Posting variables Hi, i am used to programming standalone computer applications not internet applications and would really appreciate some advice. I have a form with quite a few fields (text boxes etc...) on it. For additiional HCI, when the user edits the form from pre-exsting data, i like to have the fields all green, then if they edit some of the fields they turn red, to show that the changed data needs to be saved. To lesson the load on the database interation, i would like to program it so that when the user clicks save changes, it only updates the database based on the fields that are red. This is quite simple in standalone computer apps as i just code it to look for the fields that are red, but of course with the internet apps i cant check this as when the user clicks submit the fields are gone.
