CF8 + MySql 5 + Thai language + Macs (Paul Hastings to the resque?)
Evening everyone, I have ran into a bit of a problem which I can;t really debug or replicate by myself in my dev environment or on live website... I have developed a Thai language website for a client. The app runs on CF8 + MySQL 5 and is configured for UTF-8 on both ends. All my tests of entering data via the admin area have and are working fine... However, when the client enters data it all goes into the db and then back to screen as boxes instead of Thai characters The twist on the issue is: the client is an all-Macs company, while I develop and host in Win-based environment, and I do not currently have a Mac to test things on (my wife with her MB is in Koh Samui at the moment... lucky her...) I suspect the issue has to do with the fonts available on the client's Macs and the ones the website has been designed with (further twist here - I am only doing CF and db part of the work on this site, the client has a Thai-based company doing the actual designs/stylesheets), but I am not 100% sure. Fron what I can see in the stylesheets, the main font used on the site is MS Sans Serif, + 2 more Thai fonts of which I have never heard before and my googling has not revealed much more (apart from a few web pages all in Thai, which I unfortunately do not read)... Internationalization and encodings guru Paul Hastings, or anyone else with experience with Thai language input in cross-platform environment - any thoughts/ideas/questions? Ti re-iterate once more - everything is working just fine when the site is accessed from Win-based computers. Macs seem to have a problem at least with data entry part (the front-end is not finished yet, so I do not know if Macs have a problem displaying db data in front-end, but in the back-end they definitely do...)

Re: CF8 + MySql 5 + Thai language + Macs (Paul Hastings to the resque?)
Thanks for your comments, Paul! Here are my answers: The site is html + ajax (jquery). no flex, but lots of flash - it's a thai site after all! :) Yes, boxes only so far, no Thai text when the client tries to enter data... I have no problems entering Thai text data from my Win XP computer... My wife still loves it there, despite the rain :) MS Sans Serif seems to display Thai text in the pages just fine on my Win XP... Well, actually the font specified in the site's stylesheet is Microsoft Sans Serif... I am not sure such font even exists - maybe my browser just substitutes its default unicode font for it? The other 2 fonts specified in the stylesheet are FreesiaUPC and IrisUPC. More googling on these has led me to believe that they are NOT unicode fonts (http://www.ascenderfonts.com/font/freesiaupc.aspx and http://www.ascenderfonts.com/font/irisupc-bold.aspx), and are NOT generally-available fonts on a Mac OS10.4+. Am I correct? I have also found references to these Thai Mac fonts: Ayuthaya, Krungthep, Sathu, Silom, Thonburi and Lucida Grande - which seem to come pre-installed on Mac OS10.2+, but I am not 100% sure these are unicode - do you know? The designers do not seem to know unicode from a hole in the ground. They are an ASP.Net/Flash shop, but that's the client's choice I have to live with... They (designers) also say they have one old Mac they will have a look at tomorrow... The client is all up-to-date Macs with 10.2+ as far as I know. Do you think I will be better off re-configuring the app to use a Thai codepage (tis-620 ?) instead of utf-8? is that a standard for Thai websites? i would rather keep it all unicode/utf-8, because knowing this client they will probably want to have a site in multiple languages sometime soon... My Lao is pretty bad as well, at least on the speaking/reading side :) Too late to learn it now - moving to Hong Kong in a month. Time to learn Chinese, I guess... Again, thanks for your help, Paul!

RE: Coldfusion administrator page showing unexpected constant error
Vamsi, the class files are the Java byte code that your CFML has been compiled down to. They should be stored in the respective \WEB-INF\cfclasses folder for that instance. There is probably a large number of files all starting with cf, ending with .class and containing the names of your .cfm and .cfc files. You will probably want to restart CF after deleting them. And a word of warning, you server might be a little slower for a bit as it freshly recompiles all of them again. You should be able to rename the CFIDE folder and replace it. If using IIS, you might need to stop is first if it is pointing to the folder as a virtual directory. ~Brad Original Message Subject: Re: Coldfusion administrator page showing unexpected constant error From: Vamsi Pappu vissu.va...@gmail.com Date: Wed, June 24, 2009 9:09 am To: cf-talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com HI Brad, I too have the same issue, we are on multiserver configuration, may I know which class files you are referring, can we just rename the current cfide folder to something and copy the working cfide folder?

CF8 Uses Incorrect Component Path
On a single CF8 web server, I have a legacy web site that uses Application.cfm along with a single global mapping and single global custom tag path. The server directory location for this web site is: D:\Inetpub\AceLink The mapping is: / = D:\Inetpub\AceLink The custom tag path is: D:\Inetpub\AceLink I have an error handling component located at: D:\Inetpub\AceLink\cfc\Utility\ErrorHandler.cfc On this same web server, I have another web site that uses Application.cfc and per-application settings. Per-app settings is enabled in the CF administrator. CF is running as a single instance. This site's directories are as follows: E:\WebSites\applybeta.evansville.edu E:\WebSites\applybeta.evansville.edu\Extensions E:\WebSites\applybeta.evansville.edu\Extensions\Components E:\WebSites\applybeta.evansville.edu\Extensions\CustomTags I have a component at: E:\WebSites\applybeta.evansville.edu\Extensions\Components\ErrorHandler. cfc That does it for the OS files. Now, my simple Application.cfc contains the following code: cfcomponent output=false cfset this.name = applybeta.evansville.edu cfset this.customTagPaths = E:\WebSites\applybeta.evansville.edu\Extensions\CustomTags,E:\WebSites\ applybeta.evansville.edu\Extensions\Components cfset errorHandler = createObject(component, ErrorHandler).init() pcfdump var=#this# label=this scope/p pcfdump var=#errorHandler# label=/p cfabort /cfcomponent When I execute this code, CF actually finds the component in the AceLink directory rather than in the directory I have specified in the this.customTagPaths variable. I have proved this because a dump of the errorHandler variable points to: cfc.Utility.ErrorHandler. This leads me to believe that CF is first looking in the global custom tag paths directory before it looks in the per-application custom tag paths. When I removed the global custom tag path that points to D:\Inetpub\AceLink, the page breaks with the error that the component cannot be found. Now, this leads me to believe that I have a coding error, but I have double- and triple-checked all of the paths. The paths, above, are copied and pasted into this message. The same goes for the Application.cfc code. If anyone can see my problem, I would certainly appreciate it. I'm so close to this I probably can't see it right in front of me. However, I am expecting that this is a bug because I have several other web sites, on this same server, that work as expected with Application.cfc and per-application settings.

Fortunately, the majority of our users are home for the summer, so we can afford a few moments of downtime.

Re: CF8 Uses Incorrect Component Path
Components are different from CustomTags, and your mapping is a customTagPaths mapping.

Re: Windows Server 2008 and CF5
Is there a way to manually configure coldfusion 5 for use with IIS 7 (when installing it fails to recognise IIS 7 as a web server so I'm forced to use the default). I know this can be manually done with MX but not so sure about CF5. I've added the appropriate handlers and script mappings to no avail. It turns out that you can't use the browse function to set up script mappings for some old apps, but typing the path and file (iscf.dll) in *lower case* corrects the issue, and surprisingly, even on a 64 bit machine CF5 runs fine (as long as it's running in a 32 bit application pool). I'm sure I will encounter more problems along the way, so am still open to suggestions and recommendations at this point.

Let's say E:\WebSites\CFCs\ Then I create create a mapping called /CFCs that points to E:\WebSites\CFCs\ Then I put in the rest of the folders in reverse domain name format like so: E:\WebSites\CFCs\edu\evansville\applybeta\Registration\ Assuming you had a component called registerOnline.cfc in your Registration folder, you would reference it in create object as CFCs.edu.evansville.applybeta.Registration.registerOnline Alternatively, if E:\WebSites\ was your web root, you could omit the mapping and CFCs folder and simply reference your component as edu.evansville.applybeta.Registration.registerOnline. I prefer to have a cfc folder outside of my webroot that all my apps can access via a mapping. ~Brad Original Message Subject: RE: CF8 Uses Incorrect Component Path From: Dawson, Michael m...@evansville.edu Date: Wed, June 24, 2009 4:10 pm To: cf-talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Alright gentlemen, I think I have it figured out now.

RE: CF8 Uses Incorrect Component Path
I'm basically doing what you are saying. I wonder if the periods in the folder name is causing my problems? I don't see how it could be an issue because I'm not referring to the part of the path that includes the periods. We have structured our web sites such as: E:\WebSites\www.evansville.edu E:\WebSites\applybeta.evansville.edu E:\WebSites\www.globalindiana.com Under each of these, I have a structure of: \Extensions\ \Extensions\CustomTags\ \Extensions\Components\ \Extensions\Includes\ \WebSite\ \Config\ In an earlier reply to Steve, I showed my directory structure and code. It still does not work. Tomorrow, I'm going to rename the directory to remove the periods and see if that makes a difference.

Re: CF8 Uses Incorrect Component Path
I'm not 100% sure, but if you have the createObject() call straight after the this.mappings[] code it probably won't work. I would expect that CF has yet to build those mappings into what it uses to determine mapped paths yet. Do your createObject() call inside a index.cfm or similar, and you should find that it works.

CFDocument, finding y position?
I am using cfdocument to output a report that is primarily used as a print product. There are certain things like subtitles or a comment box that I might like to bump to the next page if it is going to be at the very bottom of a page. The question then... can cfdocument tell me the relative position on a printed page of whatever I am outputting? I am also getting that notorious issue where cfdocument pagebreaks and chops a line of text in half. I'm on CF8.01 so I don't think it's an issue with having out of date software.

Re: CF8 Uses Incorrect Component Path
Mark is exactly right, and you would never want to instantiate components within your Application.cfc constructor like that, as they would get re-created on every page request.

CF8 MS SQL Server Query Problems
Hey all I recently converted a site over from ASP to ColdFusion and the backend is MS SQL Server. I have a very simple query that for some reason is returning zero records using a cfquery but when I put the same SQL directly into SQL Server Management Studio it returns over 300 results. Here is the query: cfquery name=rs datasource=stockton SELECT DocList.DocName AS DocList_DocName, DocList.DocTitle, DocWS.DocName AS DocWS_DocName, DocWS.WatershedCode FROM DocList INNER JOIN DocWS ON DocList.DocName = DocWS.DocName ORDER BY DocList.DocName /cfquery cfoutput#rs.recordcount#/cfoutput The tables are: DocList -- DocName (PK, varchar(150), not null) DocTitle (varchar(150),null) Exhibit(varchar(50),null) DocWS -- ID(PK,int,not null) DocName(varchar(150),null) WatershedCode(varchar(150),null) As you can see I am simply trying to return all results where the DocName in both tables match which happens to be 329 rows when I put the query in SQL Server Management Studio but zero when using the query above in CF. I'm inclined to think there is something peculiar about SQL Server that is not allowing CF to return the query correctly. Any insights? Any help would be appreciated!

RE: CF8 Uses Incorrect Component Path
OK. I will try this tomorrow morning. I put it there as a simple test to make sure the mappings worked with a component. I figured that those variables would be ready-to-use once they were set. Originally, I had a data gateway object in the onRequestStart method, but I started reducing the complexity to overcome issues with the custom tag paths and mappings. At the minimum, I used my error handler component just as a test to get the paths set correctly. It appears that I simplified myself into another problem. ;^) Prior to that, I started chasing an issue with CF not following the proper hierarchy when searching custom tag paths. Adobe was kind enough to send me a hotfix for that problem. I'm glad to say that it wasn't my silliness that caused that particular problem.

Re: CFDocument, finding y position?
No, you can't do that using CF 8. I'm pretty sure the mid-line pagebreak issue has been discussed before if you search the archives of this list and the Adobe forums. Remember that cfdocument is a feature powered by an old version of iText, which is an active open-source project that has its own mailing list. -Mike Chabot On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 5:59 PM, Billy Coxbi...@oldworldspices.com wrote: I am using cfdocument to output a report that is primarily used as a print product. There are certain things like subtitles or a comment box that I might like to bump to the next page if it is going to be at the very bottom of a page. The question then... can cfdocument tell me the relative position on a printed page of whatever I am outputting? I am also getting that notorious issue where cfdocument pagebreaks and chops a line of text in half. I'm on CF8.01 so I don't think it's an issue with having out of date software.

Re: CF8 MS SQL Server Query Problems
The query looks good to me. Run SQL Server Profiler to see what SQL Server is trying to execute, since the command sent to SQL Server isn't the same as what you see in the source code. Is this the only query in the site with a problem? Maybe verify that the stockton datasource points to the correct database in CFAdmin, instead of possibly an empty test database. Maybe that hard-coded data source name isn't correct. Good luck, Mike Chabot On Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 7:56 PM, Aaron Robersonaaronarober...@gmail.com wrote: Hey Jason.

Re: CF8 + MySql 5 + Thai language + Macs (Paul Hastings to the resque?)
Azadi Saryev wrote: MS Sans Serif seems to display Thai text in the pages just fine on my Win XP... Well, actually the font specified in the site's stylesheet is Microsoft Sans Serif... I am not sure such font even exists - maybe my browser just substitutes its default unicode font for it? yes, there's *no* thai glyphs in that font though TIS-620 or windows-874 codepages might get something substituted. the early days of localization here were fractured in the extreme, still seeing the repercussions. The other 2 fonts specified in the stylesheet are FreesiaUPC and IrisUPC. More googling on these has led me to believe that they are NOT unicode fonts (http://www.ascenderfonts.com/font/freesiaupc.aspx and actually they are (true type unicode fonts), at least the ones we have installed are (i think they came from ms??). if you have the fonts installed on your w/s, pop open the character map utility turn on the advanced view. http://www.ascenderfonts.com/font/irisupc-bold.aspx), and are NOT generally-available fonts on a Mac OS10.4+. Am I correct? no they're not. what comes w/OSX thai is mainly codepage-based fonts (which i find funny in the extreme considering how much juice apple has spent on the ICU project). the PSL family of fonts are unicode based (i think): http://www.fontpsl.com/ in any case they seem to be the ones most of the design weenies i know use. they're not free though. I have also found references to these Thai Mac fonts: Ayuthaya, Krungthep, Sathu, Silom, Thonburi and Lucida Grande - which seem to come pre-installed on Mac OS10.2+, but I am not 100% sure these are unicode - do you know? Lucida Grande is (similar to Lucida sans unicode on windows), i think the others aren't (kind of old if i recall correctly). The designers do not seem to know unicode from a hole in the ground. yup, truer word were never spoken ;-) The client is all up-to-date Macs with 10.2+ as far as I know. can't you just ask them what fonts they have? Do you think I will be better off re-configuring the app to use a Thai codepage (tis-620 ?) instead of utf-8? is that a standard for Thai you already know what i'd say to that idea. in any case, even though TIS-620 is a standard you will find more windows-874 (which as per ms world domination plan is a superset of TIS-620). and you'd still be stuck w/the OSX windows codepage differences anyway in the end. websites? i would rather keep it all unicode/utf-8, because knowing this client they will probably want to have a site in multiple languages sometime soon... well you could roll out an instance per code page which i think adam ben would appreciate for the extra cf licenses you'd sell ;-) My Lao is pretty bad as well, at least on the speaking/reading side :) well there's always google's translation tools for a good laugh. Too late to learn it now - moving to Hong Kong in a month. Time to learn Chinese, I guess... i'd take laos over HK any day. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
