Re: Register a web folder on client's computer?
I assume this is done via an ActiveX control. You might be able to duplicate this behaviour with an AIR app tied into your CF app. The AIR app would still need to be installed on the client machine.

When you save, you have the option to save directly into that folder. That way you won't have to upload the file to sharepoint. Does anyone know how to do that in ColdFusion? I can't find any information on how to add the web folder to the client's computer. It is also a surprise that when you save a file that opened on a sharepoint site, the default location is the web folder instead of the temp folder.

Re: ColdFusion to Generate Cutlists?
I wrote one 20+ years ago in Autolisp and C. Wasn't easy, cost the government a ton of money, and don't have any of the source. On 10/30/07, Matthew Reinbold [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It is a fairly common optimization problem and there are hints of other stuff being out there. For example, there is an open source cutlist app written in Delphi that, if I had more patience, I would sit down and try and reverse engineer for CF. There also seems to be shadows of a ruby api(?) for this sort of thing but the links to the actual script their referring to are dead ( http://groups.google.com/group/Ruby-API/browse_thread/thread/41990420606da989/244d39b1a8012627 ). While expecting a library, tag, or cfc in ColdFusion may be a bit of a stretch I really expected there to be some previous work out there in Java that could have been built upon. The way I'm going to proceed is based on what Adam offhandedly mentioned - letting users visually set pieces in place. Rather than doing the equivalent of a mathematical thesis trying to solve this, only to have the user desire a different optimization (rip-cut verses cross cut, max off side verses max off bottom) I'll just allow them to organize the pieces how they best see fit. As long as the number remains low having the user eyeball the desired optimization is vastly more efficient than building a specific algorithm that ignores their work requirements. Having the user start out with an optimized layout would be awesome but, given the new direction, it is a 'would be nice' and not a need. ~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:292396 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Can this be done
Hi there
Is there anything simpler than that.
Hi there
Iâm in the process of finalising the developing an application to handle
personal training sessions at a gym â basically there are 6 or more personal
trainers who each have more than 60 clients that they work with for ½ hour up
to 2 hour sessions. A person at the front desk manages their bookings.
Basically Iâm developing a system for the gym to enable the person at the
front desk to enter details of bookings etc. These details will once entered
into the system will be in one of 3 states.
1. Waiting bookings
2. Bookings in process
3. Completed bookings
On the front screen of the application Iâm planning on displaying â current
bookings in process and underneath that waiting bookings.
E.G.
Sessions in Progress
Trainer RoomStart FinishRemaining TimeOverTime Manage
Sandra1 05:09 PM 06:09 PM Time has Passed 5 Minutes(s) Edit
E.G.
Waiting Bookings
Trainer RoomStart FinishRemaining TimeOverTime Manage
Rob1 06:00 PM 07:00 PM Waiting N/A Edit
I was initially thinking once the Edit link was clicked open up a pop-up window
to let the user edit the record. Is there a better way so basically the user
can just click a button and then by clicking on that button the status would be
changed.
Another couple of points â I have set the page to refresh every 60 seconds so
that way it will be easy for reception to quickly determine how long is
remaining in any given session.
The question I have relates to the following:
Take the bottom part of the screen (bookings made but the session has not yet
started). These will be displayed. I would like to somehow give the user a
simple way to start a booking. I was thinking of letting the user click on the
little Edit link under manage and open a pop-up window to edit the record and
change the status from waiting to session started.
And similarly I would like to make it easy for a person to be able to click a
button to indicate that a current booking has been completed â i.e. click on
a button then it would change the status from current to complete.
Just wondering what would be the simplest yet effective implementation. I was
thinking of using AJAX but at this stage I havenât used AJAX previously so
not too sure about it.
The idea of opening up a pop-up window and letting a user edit the record would
work but it seems a little cumbersome and not really that user friendly.
Any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
JQuery is your friend:) Something like this should work:
script
$(document).ready(function(){
// Here's a reference to our form
var frm = $('form##testForm');
// Assign an onChange event handler
$('input[type=checkbox]',frm).change(function(){
// Create a JSON object to use in our Ajax call
var postObj = new Object();
postObj = {action : this.checked ?
'add':'delete',id :
$(this).val()};
// Ajax call to our CFC, taking 'action' and 'id' as
args
// 'success' is indicative of a successful Ajax call,
// and will show whatever message is returned from your
method
$.ajax({
url: processor.cfc,
type: POST,
data: postObj,
success: function(msg){
$('div##msgDisplay').html(msg);
},
error: function(){
$('div##msgDisplay').html('There was an
error processing your
request.');
}
});
});
});

Re: Can this be done
Does a user have to have interaction on the homepage? If the classes are defined by time, you could do something simple like have the homepage check the date and time and show the classes that fall within the current date and time range. That would be simple. I am developing an application for a gym. On the home page of the application I am currently displaying details of personal training sessions which are in progress, and also thos sessions which are waiting to be started. Sessions in progress P/TrainerRoom # Start Time Finish Time Remaing Time Rob 17:00 8:00 25 mins Mick 27308:30 55 mins Sessions waiting to start P/TrainerRoom # Start Time Finish Time Remaing Time Rob 1 Mick 2 I have also set this page up to referesh every 60 seconds - this part works well and as intended. I could I guess add a button for each record which would allow a user to edit each record individually, but am wondering if there is another simpler way that this could be done - e.g. maybe a checkbox which the user checks and then when the screen refeshes any records with checkboxes marked have their status changed. Basically I want to enable a user to be able to effortlessly indicate that a session has been completed so that record does not continue to be displayed). Also I want the user to indicate that a session has moved from the waiting state to the active state. I was thinking of including a check box which can be clicked - to indicate that a record can move from the wating state to current. Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.

RE: Creating an Audit Trail
Our apps have what we call session messages. Usually they're messsages returned to the user after performing an operation (stored in session). This might be something like The user 'Heldt, Ryan' has been created. or The product 'Kitchen Sink' has been deleted. Almost every action generates a message like that. Anway, what I've done before is log those messages along with the UserID performing the operation, date/time, IP, etc. Granted it's not as granular as keeping track of which fields changed, but it can give you a pretty good idea of who was doing what in case there is a problem later on.

Re: Creating an Audit Trail
Thanks everyone for your comments so far. The current app doesn't have any standard framework, eventually it will probably be rewritten with one. For now I just am taking care of the existing code. Currently when the page loads, the values from the database are put into a variable and then when the page is saved a new list is created and then compared to the first list for changes. Changes are logged in a table with the user's id. It is klunky. I think I will see if we can arrange for the database/trigger route instead. If you're using anything like the ColdSpring framework then you can apply this stuff using AOP. I've only recently started working with this concept but it really is a fantastic one.

RE: ReadBinary Write Results Wierdness
Shane, I am trying to split a binary file and then merge it back together and then save it as a new file... My code is as follows.. cfset currentdir=GetDirectoryFromPath(ExpandPath(*.*)) cfset CurrentFile=#CurrentDir#Dasis.doc cffile action=readbinary file=#CurrentFile# variable=testme cfset a= cfset b= cfloop index=Lenx from=1 to=23552 cfset a=atestme[lenx] /cfloop cfloop index=Lenx from=23552 to=#ArrayLen(Testme)# cfset b=btestme[lenx] /cfloop cfset c=ab cffile action=write file=#CurrentDir#new.doc output=#c# My resulting file is just a bunch of numbers? If I am reading from binary shouldn't it stay as binary? What am i doing wrong You can't simply add two binary files together like you can with an ASCII file and expect things to work. If you're really dealing with Word Documents that you want to merge together, then you're going to actually want to use some code that actually can work with a Word document specifically. Apache has a project called POI (http://poi.apache.org/) which has libraries for natively reading/writing various Microsoft file formats. If the Word documents are created using newer versions of Word and are XML-based, then you can just work with the XML (but you'll need to read up on the Word XML specification and get familiar with how the file format is organized.) -Dan ~| Check out the new features and enhancements in the latest product release - download the What's New PDF now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:292411 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: wsdl issue in cfmx 7
the problem is that i can't expose it to the world because it's sitting on our intranet. No, but you can cut and paste the WSDL into an email, or copy it to a public web server. If there's anything really confidential in it, you could replace those parts with fake values. go ahead and see the wsdl at http://www.msu.edu/~dwormans/test_wsdl.wsdl What is so different about the Coldfusion implementation of web services versus that of .NET? Quite a few things. I wouldn't even know where to start in providing useful information there. There are quite a few things about how CF provides a wrapper for Axis - the SOAP library used by CF - and quite a few things about Axis itself, that are different from the .NET SOAP functionality. so you're basically saying the WSDL has to be generated specifically for CF? It works for anyone that doesn't use Coldfusion. Really? You've tested it in every other language that has a SOAP library? this thing is fully operational in production for .NET, Java, and php applications. it just doesn't seem to work with Coldfusion Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location.

Re: Creating an Audit Trail
I have done a lot of research into implementing audit trails and agree with what Hatton suggests. Although it depends on the importance of the audit trails. If the data is sensitive in nature or has legal implications attached to it, then it is better to control auditing at the database level, which helps log things if some database administrator or rogue employee tries to update the database directly or bypass the official application. It also protects you if some new programmer comes onto the project and doesn't realize they are supposed to be adding audit-related code. If you just want to track changes as a subtle feature, such as keeping track of the previous email address whenever someone updates it, then that is much easier to do in code. Adding all the database triggers and stored procedures involves significant work. I will say that having an audit trail has been of great help when troubleshooting problems and resolving disputes as to who did what. It is great to know that every single change is logged so I can speak with confidence when someone asks me to research an issue. It is a wonderful feature to have if the business user is willing to make the investment. Good luck, Mike Chabot On 10/31/07, C.

Please let us know if you require further assistance. - Basically, the site in question has been redesigned and reorganized from scratch (several hundred pages have changed).

If the template doesn't exist, then Application.cfc doesn't get called, right?

Re: Developing software for touch screen?
Are you looking for a standalone screen, or are you looking for a small form factor PC attached to a regular touchscreen? I would (personally) go with the later. I have 20 years of experience with touchscreens, but today's hardware is cheap, easy to use and maintain, and easier to develop for. Most touchscreens today just function as a mouse, and are handled at the os level. They are either bought with the screen, or are add on kits you can handle yourselves. (You no longer need to inject silicon between the glass panes, which was a _pain_. Especially with the 12 needle used to extract air bubbles. And you no longer have to write your own device drivers, which is _lovely_.) The main considerations for a standalone kiosk/touchscreen are diagnostics and remote update and control, and making sure the interface is adapted for touch interface (read large well-spaced buttons). We built many kiosks using old-school cbt software, and later Director, but Flash and Firefox (in kiosk mode) handle it wonderfully now right out of the box. What is the environment? Budget? User needs? Is it the only interface, or an additional interface (keyboards, mice, movement or weight sensors)? What about feedback? Screen only, or do you need sound as well?

Les, You can configure a CFM page as a 404 handler using IIS (or apache).

Is what I am trying to do possible? Any ideas on how to load a saved CFFORM as a SWF file and then run it on MySpace? The Flex 1.5 SWFs created with CFFORM have quite a few external dependencies, and you'd have to figure those out and deploy additional stuff along with your SWF. Off the top of my head, I have no idea what those things are, but my guess is that they're somewhere within the /CFIDE virtual directory. Even then, I have no idea whether that would work. But frankly, you should be using Flex 2 for this sort of thing; it works much better and doesn't have those dependencies.

Re: Enterprise DBs and Search and Paging Techniques
I have encountered a similar issue recently. I tried to use the Ajax cfgrid, but found it lacking. I had someone develop an Ext JS 2.0 grid to test out speed at handling large data sets, and it was a decent speed if we kept it under 50 rows per page. Right now I am trying the Flex DataGrid, which should be faster than JavaScript. The current version of JavaScript isn't designed to be high performance, and it will struggle if you ask it to do too much. Firefox seems much faster than MSIE when it comes to JavaScript, at least in my testing. Ext JS 2.0 has one of the best grids. The jQuery tables are probably a bit faster since they are lighter weight. Yahoo has a beta data grid that looks nice, but it isn't very fast. Gzip could help if you are sending lots of data to the client. It helps to identify the source of the slowness. You have database time, ColdFusion time, data transfer time, and browser rendering time. Each one is addressed differently.

RE: Enterprise DBs and Search and Paging Techniques
I have a conundrum that I can't seem to find a good enough solution too. I know what I need to do is archive data and only bring in data as needed to search on, however, I can't go that route due to resources. I'm trying to page, sort, etc very large data sets and performance is becoming an issue. I'm running SQL 2000 and CF7. I would like to be able to have a nice AJAX paging option that performs well on very large datasets but any other option is open to consideration. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Here's an article I blogged a long time ago that gives you a stored procedure you can use with SQL 2k for doing pagination at the database level: http://blog.pengoworks.com/blogger/index.cfm?action=blog:546 I've used the stored proc on several projects where it breaks extremely large resultsets up and it works very well. One tip, since it does build the SQL statements on-the-fly, you'll want to create views for any complex queries where you need joins. -Dan ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

RE: Developing software for touch screen?
*** I'm new to the network admin side of things, so I'll be figuring out remote management as I go. The big selling point for thin client is manageability...we'll see. You probably won't want to use Windows CE then; I don't think it contains nearly as much functionlity for remote management. *** I had not considered Flash. I'll have to mull over whether I have the time to get up to speed with Flash for this project. I'll second Flash for this sort of thing. I'm constantly surprised to find Flash popping up in all sorts of places, like hotel TV systems. *** The touchscreen will be in a warehouse and food (dry) manufacturing environment. We have climate control, but otherwise it is a less than ideal environment for computers. The interface will consist of the touchscreen, keyboard and a fingerprint scanner or card swiper. I've only worked with consumer-grade fingerprint scanners, but if they're representative of the state of the art, I'd avoid them in favor of card readers. I want to have an onclick sound and maybe some kind of voice prompt, but I have to figure out how and where to mount speakers. Audio in factory environments can be very ... problematic. You will likely have a very high ambient noise level.

RE: IIS Application Pools and ColdFusion
Do the IIS application pools have any affect on ColdFusion. Is there any reason to configure them one way or another to aid the performance of an Windows 2003 server run ColdFusion 8 Enterprise in Multi-home mode. We plan to have several IIS websites configured to use different instances of ColdFusion. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to also configuring multiple application pools? No, all these affect is the web server integration module, which shouldn't cause you any problems anyway. IIS (ASP/.NET) applications often run in the IIS memory space, so for them it can make a significant difference.

RE: CF 8 Perl on Win 2003 box
Ian, I don't think Perl runs very well on windows. We had spam assassin running on a windows box and it used too much CPU to be viable. We moved it to a Linux box.

Re: CF 8 Perl on Win 2003 box
As far as software conflict is concerned I am aware of none. We've been running MX7 and Perl on a W2k box for 2 years running without issue (before that we had cf5 and perl). Perl is fine on Windows but noticeably better on *nix; at the end of the day it really depends on how much work they are each doing as far as load is concerned. Its questions like these I like to re-enforce the absolute need for a testing environment. Putting it on there and prove it works :) Adam Haskell On 10/31/07, Ian Skinner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm 99% sure I know the answer, but I do not have the seniority or experience for my organization to take my word unsupported.

Re: Unable to Create a Verity Collection
I had the same issue, and for me it was the permissions problem. When I tried to create the collection the first time it gave me the same error you had, however it did create the directory I had setup for the Path. I compared that directory to the other collection directories and all the other collections had permissions of drwxr-xr-x (chmod 755), however this new collection had drwxr--r-- (chmod 744). I ran the command chmod 755 on that directory, then went back to the CF Administrator and successfully created the collection. I'm not sure why it doesn't work correctly, since I use to be able to create collections without this problem. I've done several software upgrades to the server since the last collection creation, so my guess is that one of those upgrades jacked this up. I guess I'll live with it, until I (or someone) else comes across the real solution to this issue. [CFMX 7 Multi-Server on Ubuntu Linux] I'm trying to create a collection from the CF Admin, but I'm getting: Unable to create collection testMe. Unable to create collection testme. An error occurred while creating the collection: com.verity.api. administration.ConfigurationException: Fail to create the index. (-6220) I'm not sure where to go from here...

Hi I am on CF7, with multiple websites on multiple IP addresses. When I send mail using cfmail, I want the IP address in the headers to say it came from the IP address of each website. For example.
