Formatting HTML as Plain Text.
Hey Chaps, I've been doing a little work with some RSS feeds of late, and on the most part all is very well, now, the one problem I'm running into is people who publish RSS feeds containing lots of junk HTML (urgh!), like inline links, images, divs and whatnot in the description content of the feed. I only want to have the plain text version of these feeds and not all the other junk. This means stripping out the html tags div, a etc, some of which are being published as lt; and gt;. Also, I want to convert HTML formatted characters into their nice plain text equivilants, for instance making amp; just a standard . Now presumably this can all be done with REGEX (I couldn't find any nice built in CF functions) however my skills in this area are pretty much non-existent, however I know some of you are fairly experienced with this kind of thing. I'm also hoping that I'll be able to do some form of REGEX related 'find' on the rules first so I can say to the user 'this feed appears to contain lots of redundant crap, would you like it cleaned for you? this may cause formatting issues.' or something to that effect, I can then process the replace rules if they choose to do so. I'd appreciate any advice.

Restart the CF service. That will clear out the IPs that are allowed to access your server.

Is it not possible to set session variables in a cfc method?
I'm trying to create a preview setup via cf, jquery, and ajax for a form. Before I get too deep into all this code, let me just ask this: Can I set session variables in the cfc method to the values of the form variables and use those back on the calling page? I'm doing it this way to prevent having to write the preview values to the database. I can cfdump the session and see that the session variables are getting set to the proper values in the method, but when they are sent back to the calling page (via a cfsavecontent method to handle an image involved) and jquery displays them, the values are not the current session values that were set back in the method. Anyone worked with this method? (I know Ben Nadel coded it and I adapted it, but I can't figure out why this isn't working.) Thoughts? Suggestions?

Re: Is it not possible to set session variables in a cfc method?
To answer your core question, yes, you can set session variables inside CFCs and they'll be set just as effectively as setting them anywhere else. I didn't quite follow what you're doing, but it sounds like you probably have a race condition somewhere. Logging is often the best way to find those, because you can see when stuff happens out of order. cheers, barneyb On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 1:13 PM, Rick Faircloth r...@whitestonemedia.com wrote: I'm trying to create a preview setup via cf, jquery, and ajax for a form.

Re: Is it not possible to set session variables in a cfc method?
Thanks for the reply, Barney... While it could be a race condition, I think it's more likely that it has to do with how the content is being returned to the calling page. The calling page isn't refreshing, it's just having the content *added* to the page via jquery. I'm not sure about that either, because it just seems that if the cfdump of the session values is one thing when dumped from inside the cfc after setting them, they should be the same when dumped when the code returns to the calling page. I don't know...this is driving me crazy, but it's a pretty involved to solve on the list...

Good idea, but the data in this case is going back as part of a cfsavecontent tag, instead of back through jquery the normal way I do it, with json. However, perhaps I could run the cfsavecontent, etc. code and then run another cfreturn. I'll give that a try. Thanks, Maureen.

RE: Shared Hosting Lockdown - Q1
Martin, let me elaborate a bit more. The point here is that if a user is deploying his own EAR with the CFIDE files included he is deploying his OWN SEPARATE instance of ColdFusion which is different than any other instances currently running on the server. The user's instance of CF Administrator has its own password.properties, its own data sources, its own mappings, its own settings... get the picture? That instance of CF Admin is running in its own instance of the JVM and doesn't have access to any of the settings that may be stored in any other instances of CF running on the same server. So, if you have a shared hosting environment that allows users to deploy their own EARS and WARS that may contain a copy of the administrator, first of all-- they are going to already know the password, secondly when they log into it, it will be their own little separate copy of the administrator that only applies to their app. A server with 15 WARs deployed on it could very well have 15 different administrators running-- one for each instance. ~Brad Original Message Subject: Re: Shared Hosting Lockdown - Q1 On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 5:53 PM, Martin Thomas wrote: Does anyone know how to prevent a CF user deploying the admin application as part of an EAR or WAR to your server Why do you care?
