CFHTTP and Caching

2007-12-24 Thread Ian Vaughan
I am getting problems with CFHTTP and caching a RSS feed, I cant find
out why I am getting the error below ??  Any ideas on what it can be ?


This is the error I am getting below even though weather_xml has been
defined in the application.cfm page

i.e. CFSET APPLICATION.weather_xml =XMLParse(cfhttp.FileContent)

ERROR IS

Element WEATHER_XML is undefined in APPLICATION.


My application.cfm page is


cfset Application.TimeStamp=#TimeFormat(now(), 'hh:mm:ss')#

CFIF (APPLICATION.TimeStamp EQ ) OR (DateDiff(n,
APPLICATION.TimeStamp, TimeFormat(NOW(), hh:mm:s)) GT 20) CFSET
APPLICATION.TimeStamp = CreateTime(TimeFormat(NOW(), hh),
TimeFormat(NOW(), mm), TimeFormat(NOW(), s))

cfhttp url=http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/3314.xml;
method=GET resolveurl=No/cfhttp
CFSET APPLICATION.weather_xml =XMLParse(cfhttp.FileContent)
 
/CFIF


My weather page is


head
/head

body
cfdump var=#application.weather_xml#

cfoutput

you're trying to use an attribute that's not meant to be a true tool
tip as a tool tip.

if you want a tooltip, check a site like dynamicdrive.com or one of
the many jQuery tooltip plugins:

RE: CFHTTP and Caching

2007-12-24 Thread Dan G. Switzer, II
Ian,

This is the error I am getting below even though weather_xml has been
defined in the application.cfm page

i.e. CFSET APPLICATION.weather_xml =XMLParse(cfhttp.FileContent)

ERROR IS

Element WEATHER_XML is undefined in APPLICATION.


My application.cfm page is


cfset Application.TimeStamp=#TimeFormat(now(), 'hh:mm:ss')#

CFIF (APPLICATION.TimeStamp EQ ) OR (DateDiff(n,
APPLICATION.TimeStamp, TimeFormat(NOW(), hh:mm:s)) GT 20) CFSET
APPLICATION.TimeStamp = CreateTime(TimeFormat(NOW(), hh),
TimeFormat(NOW(), mm), TimeFormat(NOW(), s))

cfhttp url=http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/3314.xml;
method=GET resolveurl=No/cfhttp
CFSET APPLICATION.weather_xml =XMLParse(cfhttp.FileContent)

/CFIF

The way that logic reads, the Application.TimeStamp will always be less
than 20 the first time the application is loaded--so your CFHTTP tag will
never run.

Change the code to something like:

cfif 
not structKeyExists(Application, TimeStamp) 
or 
(dateDiff(n, Application.TimeStamp, now()) gt 20) 

cfset Application.TimeStamp = now() /

cfhttp

url=http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/3314.xml;
method=GET resolveurl=No/cfhttp
cfset Application.weather_xml = xmlParse(cfhttp.FileContent) /

/cfif

There's no need to convert your Application.TimeStamp variable to any
specific formatting--you can just set it to now().

-Dan

Send Blowfish-encoded string to PHP

2007-12-24 Thread Dmitrii 'Mamut' Dimandt
Unfortunate as it is, but I need to send a string encrypted with 
Blowfish over to a PHP page, decrypt it there and use it there.

Let's say:

cfset x = encrypt(var,key,blowfish,hex)
cfset redirectTo('som_page/?v=#x#')


where redirectTo simply redirects the page over to some place and sends 
the encoded value over with it.

Now, in Coldfusion I could easily do

cfset x = decrypt(var,key,blowfish,hex)


How can this be accomplished in PHP (using mcrypt library for instance)?

All I get back is a bunch of unreadable characters :(

Something is not clear: why does it has to be done in PHP since 
apparently it is not done yet,
and you seem to do not know how to do it?

As far as redirect is concerned, you may use CFLOCATION

Now for the question about how to do it in PHP, you would have more luck 
in some PHP group I suppose.

Re: CF Image question...

2007-12-24 Thread Brett Barnhart
I'd like to do something similar. In my case, drive space is limited. So, I'd 
really like to store the image once, but then control how it is displayed 
totally on the fly.

I'd like 3 options..
1) Display as thumbnail
2) Display full size for web
3) download original picture for printing

I'm not super concerned about speed, I just hate all the manual processing and 
having to upload images into 3 directories (original, display, thumbnail) as I 
am doing now. Plus, I am rapidly running out of drive space.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My photo directory (about a 
thousand pictures now) is falling behind because I have such a manual process 
now.

Re: JREE Servers (was Session Management - sticky sessions)

2007-12-24 Thread Sean Corfield
On Dec 23, 2007 11:13 PM, Brad Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I'll admit, it's nice how well CF simplifies the messy stuff, but messing 
 with the mutli-server install has a way of dumping you waist-deep with the 
 unfamiliar (and previously hidden) world of Java.

True. I prefer the multiserver install because I have a Java
background and I like the extra level of control and flexibility.

 The JRE (or SDK) runs on the OS.  This is what defines what version of Java 
 you are on.  Would it best be described as a compiler,  interpreter, a VM, 
 or??

The VM is the Virtual Machine that interprets the Java bytecode and
(on some JVMs like Sun's HotSpot system) compiles bytecode to machine
code for extra performance.

The JRE is the Java Runtime Environment which includes the JVM as well
as all of the libraries needed to run (most) Java applications. This
is also referred to as J2SE and, now, Java SE (Standard Edition) since
we're a long way past Java 2.

The JDK is the Java Development Kit and includes the compiler and some
other stuff (as well as the JRE).

Then there's J2EE which is now known as Java EE - Enterprise Edition.
This includes all of the additional libraries and tools for writing
Enterprise Java Beans and all of the optional stuff in the EE spec
above and beyond the SE spec.

 Then your app server runs on that.  This is JRun, or WebShpere or whatever. 
 (This is the J2EE part, right?)

Yes, a Java EE app server runs on top of the JRE and provides all of
the libraries etc that are part of EE (above and beyond SE).

But Tomcat - a Servlet container - also runs on top of the JRE. Think
of a Servlet container as a (fairly small) subset of a Java EE app
server.

 Then your CF instance(s) are deployed to the app server (possibly as an EAR 
 or a WAR).

Right, CF can run on any Servlet container such as Tomcat or any
Java EE app server. A WAR can be deployed on a Servlet container. An
EAR requires a Java EE server.

Hope that helps?

title attributes short too.

I think the title attribute times out the same as the alt attribute

 I suggested the js solution because he was apparently looking for a

Oh maybe I was confused... There seemed to be a mild language barrier
issue and I was inferring (maybe incorrectly) that time out was being
used to describe the character limit, rather than the actual display
duration, simply because he mentioned the users wanting to enter lots of
text and not being able to read it all. But ja, any number of options
aside from alt. Title may not get them any closer to what they really
want, so the js may be what works for them. I honestly have no idea how
the browsers determine how long the alt or title text displays or how
many characters to show -- although I do know IE has a setting for
always expand alt text which seems to imply that there are situations
in which the alt text is just omitted. I'm guessing that's not the case
with title.

Thoughts on my version of a DAO

Merry Christmas all.

Don't ask why I'm up at 5 in the morning on Xmas day!

I've written my own version of a DAO and have been using this for my latest
project and have found it to be very nice to use albeit not perfect.

I would love peoples' criticisms and comments.
