Re: An effort to make cold fusion 8 standard edition more efficie nt

2008-03-01 Thread J.J. Merrick
Congrats on quitting smoking. Keep it up for another week and we will
get you a cake :-)


I agree, my experience with the CFAJAX stuff is that it is a great
start but has a couple of more iterations to go. I have been using the
EXT 2.0 stuff along with jQuery and it has been really really nice. I
have control over when I load the JS files and how they are cached.


That brings up another point that I haven't heard and that is using
massive caching on your JS files. One thing I have seems some sites do
is cache the their JS and CSS assets for eternity and just use some
sort of version number on the end of them. Basically it goes like
this...


Apache and IIS are instructed to aches the assets for a REAY
long time then you do this in your code:


cfset application.assetVersion = 2342352362


script src=/assets/js/sitejsfile.js?#application.assetVersion# /

script src=/assets/css/style.css?#application.assetVersion# /


If you ever happen to change your asset files up the assetVersion by 1
and the browsers will recache all the assets.



I think in the end this will speed up your application and not have to
worry about the load time on every page for something that really
doesn't change all that often.

 Don,

  I'm going to try to be nice here. I'm quitting smoking right now, so if
  I seem snappy try not to take it personally.

  Adobe has given us tools, within CF, to do things that most backend,
  server-side developers never (or rarely) get into. It made them dead
  simple, used the best and most professional third party libraries
  available (in my opinion), and set it up so anyone could do it. If your
  application is too slow for you, or your client, and your not willing to
  put in the extra work to make it better, by rolling your own solution,
  then that isn't the fault of Adobe. I apologize for being blunt, but
  most ColdFusion developers, past the beginner level, rarely if ever use
  cfform, and haven't for years. It was made for really rapid prototyping,
  small projects with no budget or time, and developers who can't (or
  wouldn't) write their own custom form validation, and has never been
  ideal. (Again, my opinion) Now, with these new CF8 Ajax components,
  developers are using cfform again, to get the fancy grids and
  auto-suggest. More advanced applications require 'beyond the basics'
  functionality of these controls, and developers have to learn the
  underlying libraries to build those applications.

  Ext isn't that hard, and you probably could have rewritten the majority
  of your application in the time that this thread has been going on. You
  would have already optimized the code for better browser performance.
  Also keep in mind that the average user will not have caching disabled
  on their browser (like developers do), and the perceived performance of
  these components will be much higher to them, after the initial page
  load, because all of the assets will be resident in their browser cache.

   Thank you all for your thoughts.  To Gerald, you were probably referring 
 to IIS6.
  
   My opinion still is, if feasible, the best option is, not to have/load 
 unnecessary heavy-duty javascripts in the first place, and to make 
 things/features more configurable by design.  In the case of cf8's 
 integration with FukEditor, as some else has alluded on a separate thread 
 before, it seemed to have been added in a rush, a reputable company should 
 not do something like that to its flagship product... No, this is not Alice 
 in Wonderland, it's called business ethics.

   Actually configuring compression is easy in IIS. It has a GUI for this as
   well. It took me about 5 min to figure it out and implement. What is
   difficult is per domain/web site compression. IIS does it for all domains
   hosted on the box. If you want more granular control you will need 
 HttpZip's
   Port80. I am going off of a 4 year old memory so maybe things are 
 different,
   probably not though.
  
   IIS's compression is rather impressive. I had a pricing matrix for pricing
   out screen print t shirts on the fly. The page (mostly javascript) was
   ~500K. ISS took it down to something like 30-40k.

Re: Help with Rewrite Rule! (circuit.fuseaction)

2008-03-01 Thread cf coder
Can you show me an example to demonstrate what you mean? I don't know much 
about writing RewriteRules or regular expressions.

Regards,
cfcoder

Would using the end of string character ($) help with limiting things?

Adrian

I already tried that. This is the order:

RewriteRule /offers/books/([a-zA-Z0-9.-]+)(.*) /index.cfm?go=offers\.$1 [PT]
RewriteRule /offers(/books/.*)
/index.cfm?go=offers.detailsbookid=${mapfile:$1}

I can browse this page (it's working):
http://mysite/offers/books/all

but when I try to browse this page:
http://mysite/offers/books/Harry-Potter

I get an error which states:

This is the template
../fuseboxShared/ErrorTemplates/fusebox.undefinedFuseaction.cfm
An Error of type fusebox.undefinedFuseaction has occurred
undefined Fuseaction
You specified a Fuseaction of Harry-Potter which is not defined in Circuit
books.

The first rule is getting executed and this is what's causing the error.

Any ideas?

Put the RewriteRule for books.all first.

Yes. CFAJAX is no longer maintained and used a port of a Java Library,
DWR, for data exchange.

mxAjax employs popular libraries like Prototype, Scriptaculous, JSON
and some other bits and allows CFCs to be used. It has more features
and, most importantly, Arjun is still maintaining it.

If you are trying to choose between them, mxAjax is definitely the way to go.

All of these HTML editors are client side technology and will work
essentially independently of the serverside tech. The only wysiwyg
editor that you could really say is for CF only is the FCK based one
that comes in CF8, since you can bring it up with a CF tag.

If you want to know about file upload integration with the editors,
try CFFM (which has FCK and TinyMCE integration).

Re: Best WYGIWYG Browser based html text editors for Coldfusion

2008-03-01 Thread Ali
As a matter of fact I don't need file upload right now. All I need is simple
text editor that I can install fast and easily on my application that the
admin can inserts some articles with the propper format in the database. I
deosn't really need advanced options. I checked FCK. It looks very great but
has more options than I need and I worry the admin panel users get confused
by so many options there and try to insert images. I use html FROM tags and
not CFFORM tags so cftextarea tag of CF8 is not what I can use. Please help
me find a one which meets my limited needs of a very basic text editor that
insers data into a database column containing the formating data.It is very
important for me that I choose the easy one cause there are many textareas
that I need to change to have text editing areas and a hard one to set will
be take a long time.
Thanks in advanced

FCK Editor is easily customizable (at least if you add it to your page
manually, as opposed to using the CF8 tags). You can specify by
configuration what options are and are not available to your users. Check

 mxAjax employs popular libraries like Prototype, Scriptaculous, JSON
 and some other bits and allows CFCs to be used. It has more features
 and, most importantly, Arjun is still maintaining it.

 If you are trying to choose between them, mxAjax is definitely the way to
 go.

Re: BlueDragon Fee Server - LocalHost Only?

2008-03-01 Thread Gert Franz
Hi Matthew

You could of course use Railo, which in the Community Version is free 
and has no restrictions in use. It doesn't matter if it's commercial or not.

Just give it a try.

 No. BlueDragon 7 Server is free for multiuser applications. 
 

 Really? I've having a dickens of a time connecting to it from another 
 computer. I've got Smith set up on port 8081. My laptop is assigned a local 
 subnet address of 192.168.0.5 and I can pull up pages in the Smith web root 
 from other machines on the local subnet but going to 
 http://192.168.0.5:8081/insert page here. I installed BlueDragon Server 7 
 on port 8082. I can pull pages from the laptop itself (localhost or 
 127.0.0.1) but if I try to use http://192.168.0.5:8082/insert page here 
 from another machine on the local area network the page times out. Running 
 netstat -an from a windows command line shows that while the port is in use 
 locally there isn't an entry for the inbound computer.

 Could it have something to do with the default security under the bluedragon 
 admin? It's defaulted to allow ips: '*.*.*.*' - maybe because there isn't an 
 allowed ':*' at the end it ignores all traffic to a certain port? I tried 
 updating it with a : and a port number but upon submit it just reverts back 
 to '*.*.*.*'. Pinging that port from a computer on the subnet also doesn't 
 work. Is there any other way to sniff around and see if anyone is listening 
 where they should be?

email encryption

2008-03-01 Thread Richard White
Hi,

we have a page where we add new users to our software. before it adds them to 
the database it generates a random password for them, then we want it to send 
them that password via an encrypted email.

is this is the best way to do it, and if so then can you tell us how to encrypt 
an email please. i can send an email fine but encrypting it is a different 
story.

we have to generate them a random password, as we generate the accounts whilst 
the new users are not with us, and by emailing it to them it ensures that we 
don't see their password.

appreciate your thoughts and advice

thanks

richard

Re: An effort to make cold fusion 8 standard edition more efficie nt

2008-03-01 Thread Don L
 (Again, my opinion) Now, with these new CF8 Ajax components, 
developers are using cfform again, to get the fancy grids and 
auto-suggest.
Right on.  Ajax is BIG deal, also, I love ColdFusion, and I don't want people 
to get wrong idea...

Ok, I've cracked some core text editing js code, now, here's some quick 
comparison with FckEditor:

without fckeditor (using ff2's YSlow as a benchmark tool)
browser data load size 700k,
time taken 2 seconds.

with fckeditor, size 1330k,
time taken 8 seconds.

The thing, that is great about Fckeditor is that it has WYSIWYG feature...
it's important, I'll either provide that or go for existing one that has this 
feature...

Thanks.

P.S.
While many are constructive on this thread one or two are plainly annoying... 
oh well...
Don,

I'm going to try to be nice here. I'm quitting smoking right now, so if 
I seem snappy try not to take it personally.

Adobe has given us tools, within CF, to do things that most backend, 
server-side developers never (or rarely) get into. It made them dead 
simple, used the best and most professional third party libraries 
available (in my opinion), and set it up so anyone could do it. If your 
application is too slow for you, or your client, and your not willing to 
put in the extra work to make it better, by rolling your own solution, 
then that isn't the fault of Adobe. I apologize for being blunt, but 
most ColdFusion developers, past the beginner level, rarely if ever use 
cfform, and haven't for years. It was made for really rapid prototyping, 
small projects with no budget or time, and developers who can't (or 
wouldn't) write their own custom form validation, and has never been 
ideal. (Again, my opinion) Now, with these new CF8 Ajax components, 
developers are using cfform again, to get the fancy grids and 
auto-suggest. More advanced applications require 'beyond the basics' 
functionality of these controls, and developers have to learn the 
underlying libraries to build those applications.

Ext isn't that hard, and you probably could have rewritten the majority 
of your application in the time that this thread has been going on. You 
would have already optimized the code for better browser performance. 
Also keep in mind that the average user will not have caching disabled 
on their browser (like developers do), and the perceived performance of 
these components will be much higher to them, after the initial page 
load, because all of the assets will be resident in their browser cache.

Off the top of my head That is for a commercial license. Some ppl and

BTW you can use CFFM - Coldfusion File Manager with FCK. I have used it
before. It works fairly well.

http://www.opensourcecf.com/cffm/

Last time is used was 2-3 years ago. If I remember correctly it took a while
to fire up. Nothing major just some lag time. You might want to see if you
can instantiate it once and keep it in the application scope so you don't
have tio re-instantiate it every time you use it.

Filter to get the Client IP address in the IIS loggings. This works fine.

But at the moment we can't get to the client IP in the ColdFusion code (at

Please advice.

Re: Difference between CFAjax and mxAjax

2008-03-01 Thread Gerald Guido
Let me finish... I must have hit the Gmail short cut key for send.

I know that a couple of the EXT ports are just a few weeks old so you
mileage will vary until they come out of alpha/beta. The Libraries
themselves are fairly mature with a couple in v. 2.x.

Easy? My limited experience with YUI, Jquery, EXT etc. has been positive.
They are all about the same with Jquery having an edge on ease of use. They
are not nearly as difficult to use as coding raw JS IMO.

If you are looking to level out the learning curve a bit I would recommend
finding the Eclipse or DW plugins for code assist and inline help with these
libraries. I strongly recommend Aptana when working with JS/Ajax.

I hope this helps.

 Pretend the list is 1,000 entries long..

A. I see.

Not with out writting some sort of error checking. And given 1000 items
client side error checking could bog down the broswer significantly. You
would probably want to validate it against the server using an Ajax call. I
can see that getting really messy.

Another thought is to have the input box populate a drop down. Kinda like
RIAForge.org does with its search except have it populate the select box.

CF8 autosuggest automatically filters again?

2008-03-01 Thread Ryan Stille
I have a CF8 autosuggest setup for selecting a user on a form.  The input tag 
is:

cfinput type=text name=sendto 
autosuggest=cfc:ajax.getAddressBook({cfautosuggestvalue})

And the query inside the getAddressBook() method looks like this:

cfquery name=qryClients datasource=mydsn
SELECT first, last, email FROM clients
WHERE first LIKE cfqueryparam value=#Arguments.autosuggestvalue#% 
cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR
OR last LIKE cfqueryparam value=#Arguments.autosuggestvalue#% 
cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR
OR email LIKE cfqueryparam value=#Arguments.autosuggestvalue#% 
cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARCHAR
/cfquery

I then return an array whose entries look like #first# #last# #email#.

This returns users whose first name, last name, or email address starts with 
the text the user has entered in the form field. I've called it via URL and its 
returning the correct results.  If I give it Smi for an autosuggestvalue, it 
returns Joe Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED].

But the auto suggest values shown on the form are only the ones with a *first 
name* starting with the auto suggest value.  Its as if the CF code on the 
client is further filtering the results returned from the CFC. 

I didn't see anything in the docs about the client side auto filtering, but it 
looks it is doing just that???

You would have to cfexecute to something like pgp or gpg. But first the end 
user would need to install software, generate public/private keys and give you 
the public key.  Not a very viable solution.

How about instead of generating the password at the time of account creation, 
leave it NULL, and in the initial email give them a link to access the a page 
on the over SSL.  Once they click on the link, generate the password for them 
and display it on the SSL-protected page.

RE: email encryption

2008-03-01 Thread Dave Watts
 we have a page where we add new users to our software. before 
 it adds them to the database it generates a random password 
 for them, then we want it to send them that password via an 
 encrypted email.
 
 is this is the best way to do it, and if so then can you tell 
 us how to encrypt an email please. i can send an email fine 
 but encrypting it is a different story.
 
 we have to generate them a random password, as we generate 
 the accounts whilst the new users are not with us, and by 
 emailing it to them it ensures that we don't see their password.

Encryption provides no guarantee that you don't see their passwsord. It can
only prevent third parties from seeing their password. There are no standard
mechanisms for encrypting email that will work for your users without a
significant amount of installation and configuration on the users'
computers.

I recommend that you not worry about encryption.

RE: How to get Client IP address while using IIS X-Forward-For IS API Filter on F5 BIG-IP

2008-03-01 Thread Dave Watts
 We are using F5 BIG-IP hardware for loadbalancing with IIS 
 X-Forward-For ISAPI Filter to get the Client IP address in 
 the IIS loggings. This works fine.
 
 But at the moment we can't get to the client IP in the 
 ColdFusion code (at least not through any available CGI 
 variables).

You may need to ensure that the ISAPI filter loads before CF's own ISAPI
filter. But, frankly, any injected HTTP request headers should just be there
in the CGI scope. You shouldn't need an extra ISAPI filter for that. In
fact, you might even try disabling the ISAPI filter.

Re: email encryption

2008-03-01 Thread Azadi Saryev
i would not worry about encrypting the emails either. there is a good
reason why almost nobody does this :)

a possible alternative may be:
- you automatically generate a password and make it time-limited, i.e.
it expires within 2 hours;
- you email your user the generated password with instructions on how to
change it and warning about the time limit;
- you hash the generated password and store only the hash in your db;
- the user must log in with automatically generated password within the
time limit and change the password - you hash and store the new password
in the db;

the user must still trust you not to 'snoop' on what they type into the
password form fields, but with the hash being a one-way encryption at
least the user can know that nobody else can see their password even if
they can access the database...

what do you think of that?
