Re: Selecting date from table (for the experts)
assuming years are irrelevant, the condition for determining if it's after the start day is like this. WHERE (sp_start_month < #month(now())# OR (sp_start_month = #month(now())# AND sp_start_day <= #day(now())#) ) Determining if you're before the end date is equivalent, just reversed. If both parts are true, you're within the season. If you need to deal with seasons that cross a year boundary (like basketball), then you'll wan the inverse comparison (before the start and after the end). cheers, barneyb On 11/8/06, Mike | NZSolutions Ltd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I have the following table... > > Season_period > - > Sp_id (PK) > Season_id (FK) > Sp_start_day (INT) > Sp_start_month (INT) > Sp_end_day (INT) > Sp_end_month (INT) > > What I wish to do is select the season_id using a particular date.

For instance, www.mySite.com/someOldDirectory/someOldPage.htm displays what's in /index.cfm, but like if it was www.mySite.com/someOldDirectory/index.cfm, then all internal relative addresses are wrong.

You > need to use differing IP addresses. Actually, I got it working! Somehow, "Integrated Windows Authentication" got checked along with "Basic Authentication" for both sites. Removing the first check, fixed the problem. One thing I did not mention, which I discovered from Microsoft's web site, is that when using host headers on multiple sites running on the same IP where SSL is required, setting the secure bindings must be done as well as using the wildcard certificate with the common name set to (*.domain.com). Set the secure bindings using the following: cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set /w3svc//SecureBindings ":443:www.domain.com" and cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set /w3svc//SecureBindings ":443:site2.domain.com" This only applies to Windows Server 2003 running IIS 6.0. There is a whole slew of other steps when dealing with Windows Server 2000. Anyway, its all running fine now.

OT: IIS 6.0 Configuration
I realize this is off-topic, although the end result will be related to ColdFusion. I am having trouble getting two sites working on IIS. The server is running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise w/ SP1. I have two web sites setup: www.domain.com Host Header: www.domain.com IP: 10.100.20.11 TCP Port: 80 SSL Port: 443 site2.domain.com Host Header: site2.domain.com IP: 10.100.20.11 TCP Port: 80 SSL Port: 443 I have two DNS entries as well: www - 10.100.20.11 site2 - 10.100.20.11 Both sites have the same security certificate assigned which is actually a wild card certificate (but can be changed to whatever, should it be necessary) - *.domain.com I need to have SSL and basic authentication set on both sites. When I attempt to start both sites, www.domain.com starts fine. The second site however will not start as it complains about various things (depending upon the settings I am toying with). If the SSL port set on site2 is the same as www.domain.com it gives an error pertaining to that. I have been reading various MS article regarding host headers + IIS 6 + SSL and have tried the various solutions and have gotten as far as www.domain.com working fine with SSL and basic authentication and site2.domain.com continuously asking me for my credentials which I continue to provide until I get an access denied (HTTP 401.1) the credentials are the same as www.domain.com. Can anyone recommend an approach that will allow me to get both sites running with SSL and basic authentication?

RE: Help with Form Validation Against Spam
Wouldnt they just need to add that field to their own form as well? I guess that really depends on what is IN the hidden field (hidden acesskey)? I've also seen people do time sensitive submits, meaning if you just submitted, you can't submit again for another XX minutes or whatever. That's only good if you are getting tons a day of course. My friend was getting one every day or two so that wouldnt have helped him (he's the reason I wrote bhcaptcha) I really liked Sandra's idea of 'bad keywords' myself. If the post contains any of the 'bad words', it doesnt go through. The user is basically presented with an old school form with no special hoops to prove that he/she is in fact a human.

RE: Generating a spam score
It's just a collection of perl scripts as far as I remember... If you're on windows, you'd have to install perl, etc... but I do believe you can compile perl programs... perhaps you can make an executable that won't need the perl runtime or the original source files.

Cognos Integration / COM object troubles!!!
Hi all,
I'm trying to do a integration with the Cognos ReportNet tool using the COM
object that comes with the ReportNet SDK (crn.dll). They do not have any
ColdFusion examples so I translated their ASP example for logging into
ReportNet.
I'm getting an AutomationException: 0x80020005 - Type mismatch error on one of
the last lines of code which is baffling me because I've checked all my
objects and verified against the DLL interface the appropriate types.
Has anyone done this before or can you see anything wrong???
Thanks!
oCRNS = CreateObject("COM", "CRN.CognosReportNetService");
oCRNS.endPointUrl = "http://devcognos01/crnmr3/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi";;
oFFCol = CreateObject("COM", "CRN.FormFieldVarC");
oFF = CreateObject("COM", "CRN.FormFieldVar");
oFF.Name = "CAMNameSpace";
oFF.value = "Series7";
oFFCol.Add("oFF");
oFF = CreateObject("COM", "CRN.FormFieldVar");
oFF.Name = "CAMUsername";
oFF.value = "username";
oFFCol.Add("oFF");
oFF = CreateObject("COM", "CRN.FormFieldVar");
oFF.Name = "CAMPassword";

Re: Plenty of Coldfusion/Ajax frameworks. Which one for a starter ?
Hi Michael, I'm going to be working on a series of jQuery tutorials that will have a CF spin to it so just keep an eye on my blog (www.reybango.com) for more info. Andy has also responded and he's one of the most active people on the jQuery list so he's a top notch CF/jQuery resource as well. Also, Chris Jordan has been doing some really cool work with JSon so I'll see if I can get some info from him as well. Rey... Michael E.

Re: Help with Form Validation Against Spam
Sandra, I had read of that technique in the comments of Ben Nadel's blog post about his Math technique. At present I get a few spam submissions a week and they are all of the same format (first and last name in both fields and a well formed email address). It does make me thing that maybe I am only dealing with one spam bot, but I am sure there will be more in the future. My action page is a component, so I would rather not reference the session scope in the CFC. How exactly do I check against the session variable in that case? -Aaron On 11/8/06, Sandra Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How bout setting a session variable on the form when loaded and checking for > it after submittal?

Re: PayPal Pro 2.0 requirements
Dan, It looks like it would be easy to implement, but the installation of the class file is a no go for my host. According to them, they don't have it installed and they "don't allow any custom tags or other 3rd party software on the shared Cold Fusion servers." Unless there is some other way (anybody?), I guess I'll have to change hosts or gateway/merchant solutions. ~Max On 11/8/06, Dan Vega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have 2 sites that I recently integrated.

PayPal Pro 2.0 requirements
Has anyone implemented PayPal Pro 2.0 (which is apparently orriginally owned by Verisign)? The integration information I got from them requires the installation of a java class file which my host doesn't want to install on a shared hosting box. Unfortunately, my client would like to use PayPal if at all possible. Does anyone know if its possible to process without the class file (CFHTTP or other)?

Now I'm canning the EXCEL COM object and using CFHTTP to parse a comma delimited format. This works fine when the data is perfect.

Re: Plenty of Coldfusion/Ajax frameworks. Which one for a starter ?
benign, Let me preface this by saying that Ajax features are not fancy, whiz bang effects. Those effects are typically additional DOM/CSS/DHTML components created to compliment Ajax functionality. If all you want is straight Ajax with some level of CF integration, then look at AjaxCFC (www.robgonda.com) or JSMX (www.lalabird.com). These are lightweight options that offer very good Ajax features and nice CF coupling. If you want Ajax integrated with the effects and some level of CF integration, then look at MXAjax. I started off with AjaxCFC and then decided to use one of the more popular & maintstream libraries on the market. These include: jQuery (http://www.jquery.com) Prototype/Scriptaculous (http://script.aculo.us/) Yahoo User Interface (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/) Dojo (http://dojotoolkit.com/) I personally chose jQuery because of its power, documentation, learning curve and simple syntax. While all of the tools I listed are very powerful, only YUI, IMO, came close in terms of completeness in regards to the criteria I just mentioned (power, documentation, learning curve and simple syntax). The community is awesome as well. There are several CF'ers here that have adopted jQuery so if you need some assistance feel free to ask.

How bout setting a session variable on the form when loaded and checking for it after submittal? Most spammers use automatic submittal, so its not from your site and hence no session variable.

Re: Help with Form Validation Against Spam
Randy, I had thought about that, but my form is very compact because of layout constraints (http://whitehrosemedia.com) and I don't think the fact that we are not accepting spam will motivate people to go through the extra steps to receive our newsletter. I am partially working off of Steve Krug's philosophy of not making the visitor think (doing math or decrypting Capthca) in order to subscribe. For other forms, Captcha or Math will be fine. For the newsletter however, I will have to find another method. -Aaron On 11/8/06, Adkins, Randy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I do not think it comes down to making them beg, it shows them you > Are concerned about SPAM and since they are subscribing to a service > You are providing, they will not have to worry about receiving spam > notices from that Newsletter List. > > Captcha is a great concept and is in use in many high profiled sites. > > -Original Message- > From: Aaron Roberson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2006 2:34 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Help with Form Validation Against Spam > > I know that nobody wants to put their site visitors through the trouble > of entering some anti-spam verification code into the form but in this > case I really don't think that Capthca or Math is the right solution. > > I would rather just use a regular expression.

What about putting a Javascript confirmation upon form submission that sets a value: In the above line, the [SET VALUE] could set a hidden form field to a predefined value. The confirmation is a bit cheesy, but I am guessing spammers don't actually "run " the live page and therefore wouldn't set the hidden field. And, you could randomize the field for each page refresh so it couldn't be guessed. ..

We all know that the guys at Google are level 73 wizards, but I can't even begin to imagine how they accomplish this one. Try this walk-through if you have a moment and care to try to solve it. By the way, it only appears to work in IE. 1) Visit http://maps.google.com/ 2) Add this page to your bookmarks, then view it's properties. It should be titled "Google Maps", and it's URL should be http://maps.google.com/. 3) Delete this favorite. 4) Next, do a search for something (your own address for example), then immediately add it as a favorite. I search for my office address (7003 Chadwick Dr, 37027). Then add it as a bookmark. 5) The new bookmark's title is "7003 Chadwick Dr, 37027 - Google Maps" and it's URL is the same as before "http://maps.google.com/";. Yet, when I visit another website, cnn.com for example, then click the bookmark, it takes me straight to the map location for my office. I can even close my browser window completely and it does the same thing. Interestingly enough, when I click the bookmark, it loads the very front page of Google Maps briefly before changing over to my bookmarked search result. One thing to note, my co-worker and I thought that Google might somehow be reading the title of the bookmark, but it doesn't seem to pass that information in any way. I decided to be sneaky and change the title of the bookmark to my home address to test and it didn't work. It still loaded my office address. I've even restarted my computer to make sure my sessions/cookies were cleared out and it still worked. So my question is, does anyone have a clue how Google accomplishes this?

I may use Math or Lyla Captcha on other forms on my site though, so thank you for the links. -Aaron ~| 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:259687 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
RE: Plenty of Coldfusion/Ajax frameworks. Which one for a starter ?
I like the Yahoo UI library. Dojo is easy, but not well documented and its onload functionality runs after everything else, which can mean important UI layouts render after all other JS is run (such as google adsense, analytics, etc). I ended up dropping dojo for spry which isnt' quite as feature rich, but renders much faster. -Original Message- From: Robyn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2006 2:19 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Plenty of Coldfusion/Ajax frameworks.

Generating a spam score
I am looking to program a feature that can pass E-mail text through a rule-based spam filter, notably SpamAssassin, to generate a spam score before the E-mail is mailed to many people using ColdFusion MX 7. If the score is above a certain level, the person would have the ability to tweak the E-mail to try to lower the spam score before sending it out. Has anyone done anything like this or does anyone know of existing code or a Web service that would help with this?

Re: CFREPORT problem: Report compilation error. Error at (158, 21 : null
Hi Dave, I saw at least 2 posts suggesting that re-saving the reports with the patched report builder was the fix, but many more saying it wasn't the the fix. And, in our case, the reports themselves had been created with the 7.0.2 report builder, but were deployed on a server that was running 7.0.1 or 7.0. (And, of course, the report builder itself isn't installed on the QA and Production servers.) Apparently the updater to 7.0.2 had a little bug where in certain circumstances that one outdated .jar file was not getting removed when it should have. Stopping the CF Application service, removing the .jar file, and restarting the service fixed the problem immediately. > I ran into a similar problem about two weeks ago.

Re: Plenty of Coldfusion/Ajax frameworks. Which one for a starter ?
I looked at a lot of the frameworks. The problem is that there are at least 10 really good frameworks, and they are all significantly different. The one you start with may depend on what you are looking to accomplish. If you are looking for a certain visual effect, that is different than a simple Ajax call from the server. I tried to start with the Google library, but ruled that out since I didn't like the idea of having Java generate JavaScript. I am currently using jQuery. It does have some bugs, but it is pretty good and there is a lot of information about it on the Internet. moo.fx is a good one, but it is a small library that focuses on a few visual effects.

Re: What *NOT* to do to screw up my google rankings...
redirects will kill your rankings!! Fresh content is a good thing (within reason...i.e. totally different subject matter is death, but fresh content about e-comm should be OK). So I'd update the text on your exisitng pages. Bots like the fresh content as it re-assures them that your site is not stale. If you do remove and pages you can add the fact that they have been removed in robots.txt or mabye it was your .HTAccess file (one of those you can tell bots "page xyz.cfm is gone"). Oterwise they think pages are going missing and lower your rank. If you rerplace files with new file names, those files I just mentioned can also be used to tell bots "file xyz.cfm can now be found at abc.cfm"). HTH Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

I've successfully converted my old e-comm site to my new store app (neverendingcart.cfc). It's taken me 2+ years to achieve top-ranked pages with google and my old app. I don't wanna screw that up with the new one. So, what I've done is built the new one a store residing within the old one. I figured this'd maintain much of my established text, keywords, etc. All the main content pages will remain the same, EXCEPT the actual product pages and checkout of course. What should I do with my old master/detail pages? Google has quality links to those. Would it hurt to put a cflocation on them, pointing to the new store? Placing dynamic s to the matching page in the store isn't really an option. Anyone have any good ideas on this? Jenn?

DateDiff Error Rrrrrrr
All, I'm trying to fix someone's code and I'm getting this error within a datediff. When I do a cfdump on the query variable UserCoupon.LastDownloadDate I get [empty string].

CF-Elearning Application
After hearing much crap about CF scalability problems and lack of developer power, I have decided to go with CF for developing my elearning application.

RE: Cool things about cf
Here's a simple, useful example.
function bhimginfo(imgfile){
jFileIn = createObject("java","java.io.File").init(imgfile);
ImageInfo = StructNew();
ImageObject =
createObject("java","javax.imageio.ImageIO").read(jFileIn);
imageFile = CreateObject("java", "java.io.File");
imageFile.init(imgfile);
sizeb = imageFile.length();
sizekb = numberformat(sizeb / 1024, "9.99");
sizemb = numberformat(sizekb / 1024, ".99");
bhImageInfo = StructNew();
bhImageInfo.ImgWidth = ImageObject.getWidth();
bhImageInfo.ImgHeight = ImageObject.getHeight();
bhImageInfo.SizeB = sizeb;
bhImageInfo.SizeKB = sizekb;
bhImageInfo.SizeMB = sizemb;
}
It will return image width, height, filesize (in bytes, kilobytes, and
megabytes)

Ben,
I've instantiated java before using cf but its not been all that simple.
What would be a good example of a simple but very useful java instantiation

Re: Cool things about cf
I looked at how java works with web services i.e axis and the fact that you don't have to do extra work in CF to ship/send/ or receive any kind of object is truly amazing. In java land its yet another issue. For java web service on CF I have to WDDX each object before its sent and before its received and decompile back again. It's a real pain and an extra step. You can't put a price tag on all the "magic" its priceless and its not just a bunch cool stuff to list off either taken in total its a step ahead. ~| 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:259666 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Andy, I learned a bunch of php lately and was stunned by this lack of application scope as well. I do think tho that .net and java both have similar structures so I'm a bit wary of including it.

Re: Something Stronger Than Verity
Hey Rey, Remember that Verity is not searching against your DB on each call, this is aready done as part of your indexing into a collection (usually out of hours). If the results are taking an age to appear it is no doubt a result of the actual ColdFusion code to display them, I would look at these pages before looking at Verity or a replacement as the VDK you get with ColdFusion saves you a lot of time and effort which otherwise you would have to code, say in Lucene. I am currently going through a ColdFusion integration with FAST ESP so I know how much effort it required over and above a simple cfsearch call.
