Re: Cf9 tabbed layouts cflayout

[David Mineer]

The temporary workaround that I found for this was to set a height value in
the cflayout tag.  You can see more details about how I fixed it in the
comments on Sam's blog linked below.

Generally, yes, although some frameworks may have compatibility issues with
others (Prototype comes to mind). Keep in mind that more frameworks means
more JS files for your user to download, though.

Re: Extra leading content in cfhttp.filecontent

[M P]

Ahhh, it was some javascript includes in the header of the index page. I 
switched the process to it's own dedicated page instead of through the main 
index and the phantom data is gone.

And, of course, since the javascript is commented to hide from unsupported 
browsers, it was taking up space, but not displaying in cfhttp.filecontent 
(which I suppose is an unsupported browser).

Thanks Brad, that was very helpful.

Are you using CFHTMLHead, CFAjaxProxy, or any other tag that sneaks
content into the header?   Also, does your Application.[cfc|cfm] file
produce any output.

I'm failing to understand why you can't just dump out the
cfhttp.filecontent and look at it.  Hit it in a browser and view source.
 If the first value is "<" there are probably some script tags or
something getting in the output.

Extra leading content in cfhttp.filecontent

[M P]

I have a page that posts form data via cfhttp post and then receives a comma 
separated list of response values. I control both the remote posting code and 
the code that generates the response.

Everything is working perfectly except the first entry of the comma separated 
value list is reporting a length of 508 characters, even though it's only 
displaying a single character, which is a result code (only possible values are 
1, 2 or 3).

So it displays properly as a 1, 2 or 3, but when I try to insert it into a 
database, it says the value is too long. I tried TRIM and it has no effect. 
Through experimentation I've figured out I can use the RIGHT(x,1) function 
(where x is my variable) as a workaround, but every single transaction has over 
500 characters of extra data that I can't seem to remove, or even see. Oddly, 
if I use LEFT(x,1) I get a "<" which leads me to believe there is some sort of 
hidden code, but if I use LEFT(x,2) or greater, all the way to 507, I don't see 
anything (not even the leading "<"). Very strange.

I've verified that the responding page is not generating the extra data, I even 
added the the original LEN value as an additional field in the comma separated 
list and it is showing properly as 1. So I have to believe that somehow the 
local cfhttp post is appending the mystery content to cfhttp.filecontent.

Anyone ever seen this before? And more importantly, of course, know how to fix 
it?

Thanks,

Mike

A couple options for thisone is to add a timestamp to the users table as 
well for last login attempt, and reset the counter if the account is locked 
once a certain time is up (I usually use an hour). If your application has a 
backend, you can also create a function for the administrator to reset the 
counter manually.

uncaught exception from firebug

[John Pullam]

I have some previously running code which still runs properly on my desktop but 
when I try to run it on the production server it fails with "uncaught 
exception". I have isolated it to the point that it issues a function call via 
dataproxy. FYI, the code (unchanged is:

dataproxy.UpdateNA(
 f.UserOneID.value
,w.W1FirstName.value
,w.W1LastName.value
,w.W1Address1.value
,w.W1Address2.value
,w.W1City.value
,w.W1StateProv.value
,w.W1PCZIP.value
,w.W1Country.value
);

It never gets to the function because the first line is now a cfabort and no 
matter what I do (including changing the function name to one that should fail 
because of conflicting parameters) it fails with the uncaught exception (shown 
to me by Firebug). It also fails in all other browsers, but the identical code 
does not fail on my desktop and has been running for quite a while!

Any advise in how I can further isolate this would be greatly accepted. 
Curiously I have 3 other similar function calls on the same page and they all 
work.

Re: how to detect user login attempts

[Anene Isioma Wealth]

you dont need any of those things you seek.

Follow these steps:
1. draw up a logon table with the following columns:
* username
* password
* accountstatus
* attemptcount
2. each time the client tries to logon, validate if account (username 
and password) exists.
3. if exists, grant access; else
4. if username exists, but password is wrong, flag the attemptcount as 
"1".
5. for the next two tries, add the value 1 to attemptcount 
6. now develop a script that checks if attemptcount eq "3"
7. if yes, flag accountstatus as suspended Sincerely,

RE: how to detect user login attempts

[brad]

Add a column in your user table for the number of bad login attempts. 
Every time there is a failed login for that user, increment the value. 
Do not allow that user to login if their failed count has exceeded your
threshold.  REMEMBER to zero it back out when they log in successfully.

Of course, this approach will require some method for them to unlock
their account.

Re: javascript and coldfusion

[Richard White]

thanks for all your replies... seems then that extjs is good for ui and jquery 
for adding functionaility and therefore we should know both :)

RE: javascript and coldfusion

[Andy Matthews]

I don't think that YUI is still in development is it? ExtJS is what used to
be YUI.

It's almost always a good choice to select a library that has a robust
developer community. jQuery has that in spades, and ExtJS is not far behind
(if it is behind at all).

Why wouldn't you choose YUI as an option to implement? I'm not sure I
understand, unless it is purely preference. I don't use it but I know there
are enough apps out there that use it to make it worth considering. JQuery
on the other hand is something I have come to depend on, similarly to
ColdFusion. Both are layers on top (Javascript and Java) and both make it
much easier to use.

You're using imagesW200 in your cffile replace. This is a query object
(which you're looping against). You would need to use it's columns to get
the correct value.

Re: Ok...I give...what's wrong with this code?

[Bryan Stevenson]

Hey Rick,

...a little tough to read, but you can't use a query as you have in line
14simple values onlynot complex ones like queriesjust like
the error says ;-)

the code after that loops over "imagesW200"thus my assumption that
it is a query.

Re: Ok...I give...what's wrong with this code?

[Charlie Griefer]

#imagesW200# is the name you assigned to your cfdirectory.  essentially,
it's a CF query object.  which is a complex object.  complex objects cannot
be used as strings (as you're trying to use it as part of a path).

Ok...I give...what's wrong with this code?

[Rick Faircloth]

I'm getting this error message.

 

"Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values." etc.

 


The error occurred in
D:\Inetpub\webroot\holtzmanRentals\misc\updatePhotoFilenames.cfm: line 14


12 : 

13 : 

   



 

 

 

  

  

 

  



 

 

Isn't the above cffile statement essentially the same as the following
statement, which works?

 



 

 

Thanks for any feedback.

 

Rick

Re: View PDF in Coldfusion

[Kim Hoopingarner]

Hey - I solved it on my own!

Here's the symptoms and solution in case you need...

Symptom - the database is not storing the full PDF.  I could tell my dumping 
the file it did store and seeing that its file size was 64 K and not 250 K.  

Fix - check your CF8 Administration DSN setup.  You need to have BLOB selected.

Yeah, like, dojo's testing stuff is freaking awersome!  And you don't
have to run dojo to use it, either.  Mix and match, match and mix...

Cuz the dojo heads are freaking cool like that.

Talk about a well thought out JS framework.  Hat's off to 'em.

Re: Checking line 26 or 27

[Peter Boughton]

Just noticed you're using rematch there - which is good since ListToArray will 
remove blank lines (not what we want).

However, you can simplify it - instead of the crlf variable you can do:



And, once you're there, it's one extra character to do:



Which will work with files that don't have carriage returns.

Re: javascript and coldfusion

[Judah McAuley]

I like Ext for building JS applications but prefer JQuery for adding
functionality on top of an HTML application.

Ext is a full fledged frame work. If you want to have a single html
page with nothing more than a div and build all your UI in javascript
that does event-driven calls to a CF backend, then Ext is your best
friend. However, Ext is still quite difficult to theme. It is going to
look like Ext unless you go to a lot of trouble creating a bunch of
tiny images and hacking css classes.

JQuery, on the other hand, is great for enhancing an HTML page. Want
to just drop in a date picker or do a look ahead search? JQuery is
easy to drop in and usually pretty easy to make look like the rest of
your design and even to change on the fly.

So, yeah, it really depends on what you are going to use a JS library
for and chances are good that you'll end up using more than one.

View PDF in Coldfusion

[Kim Hoopingarner]

OK - I conquered the Flash file view but now I have something peculiar with PDF 
files.  I have narrowed in on the fact that the ones that work are simple PDF - 
no graphics and small in size.  The ones that do not work ("The file is damaged 
and could not be repaired" message in PDF Reader) are larger with graphics 
within.  

___

I store the PDF as binary by uploading the file, then using readbinary.

   

  

The PROMOPDF in the table is a BLOB/Oracle.
   
INSERT INTO MSR_PROMOTIONS
(  PROMOPDF )
VALUES( #bPDF# )
  

So I think I saved it right.  

___

Now to get it out and display...
  
SELECT PROMOPDF 
FROM MSR_PROMOTIONS
  

  

Adobe Acrobat error : File is damaged and cannot be repaired.
___

Help...
Thanks!
Kim

I'd say the odds of that being the case are low... things like this frequently 
come back to bite you.

Something like this *might* work:


But don't just copy and paste that - make sure you know what it's actually 
doing, and that you know the difference between strings, arrays, structs, and 
so on.

Re: javascript and coldfusion

[Tony Bentley]

Why wouldn't you choose YUI as an option to implement? I'm not sure I 
understand, unless it is purely preference. I don't use it but I know there are 
enough apps out there that use it to make it worth considering. JQuery on the 
other hand is something I have come to depend on, similarly to ColdFusion. Both 
are layers on top (Javascript and Java) and both make it much easier to use.

Yes.  The Admin API.  They are a collection of CFC's that give you

Re: javascript and coldfusion

[Cutter (ColdFusion)]

Especially since ExtJs started out as an 'extension' of YUI ;)

And (and I'm not knockin JQuery) people should really look at ExtCore 
for basic DOM manipulation, ajax and effects...

I second what Cutter mentions here. They are common practices and really
work well on getting the job done within development teams. In regards to
the development/staging/production environments, you should make sure that
only one maybe two people are responsible for pushing code to at least
production. Too many people pushing code could really screw something up.

I noticed that you said your application is somewhat modular. This can play
to your benefit as you can separate a large task by assigning a person to
take care of front end work, while another can take care of back end work.
It keeps the team talking with one another as well as can keep toes from
being stepped on during the development cycle. Basically "you work on this

RE: Unique User Login

[brad]

Agreed that you have to track who is logged in somewhere persistent like
the database or Application scope.  

You need to make a key decision here though.  When someone tries to log
into an account that you think is already logged in to, what do you want
to happen?

1)  Deny them access.  Be VERY careful with this one because people
don't like to log out and if someone just closes their window and your
system still "thinks" they are logged in they will get locked out of
your site and won't be able to log back in.  You can mitigate this by
storing a timestamp when they log in and automatically timing them out
after so many minutes of inactivity (update the timestamp on every page
hit) but the user who closes his window and immediately wants back in
will still be locked out until he times out.

2)  Kick out the previously logged in user in favor of the last one to
log in.  This will always allow access to the person logging in.  Of
course, you will need to have a way to log out whoever just got kicked
off.  I think if you did this you would need to keep not only the list
of users logged in, but some client-specific session id to identify
them.  If User A hits a page with a different session id than the valid
session id for that user, you say "sorry charlie, someone just booted
you out" and you log them off.  (This sounds kind of harsh, but it's
exactly what a lot of instant messenger clients do--- "you have signed
on at a different location")

Your solution might depend on why you are doing this.  Security, abuse
prevention etc.

You should use the Application scope to determine who is logged-in.

First, you need a login form.

When the login form is submitted, first see if the username exists in an
array that is stored in the Application scope.

If the username exists in the array, deny further access.

If the username does not exist in the array, then upon successful
authentication, add the username to the Applciation-scoped array.

Second that, plus, and this is really important - talk to each other. We
have a daily 5 minute catchup and it nearly always brings up little things

RE: javascript and coldfusion

[Andy Matthews]

It mostly depends on what you'll be doing with those libraries.

If you're going to be doing application dev and want consistent UI, then the
built in copies of ExtJS might work for you.

If you just want to spice up existing pages with new functionality
unobtrusively then jQuery is by far your best choice.

Re: Shift from a single developer team to a multiple developer team

[Cutter (ColdFusion)]

There are several things that I would suggest, in moving from a single 
developer to team development dynamic:

Source Control is critical (personal pref - VSS doesn't cut it, go to 
SVN or Git)
Developers should/must setup/maintain their own development environments
Development and initial testing should be done locally (on user's 
desktop), QA and final testing on a centralized staging server, then 
finally deploy to production
Local, Staging, and Production environments should match each other as 
closely as possible
Establish a good set of Coding Guidelines, that everyone on the team 
must follow going forward
Write standardized naming conventions (in your Coding Guidelines) of 
variables, directory and file structure, db architecture, HTML id's and 
classes, etc.

Re: javascript and coldfusion

[Steve Milburn]

I think you'll find a lot of varying opinions on which library is best, but
the only way you're going to be able to make the decision that works best
for you is to get your hands dirty with several different libraries and
decide for yourself.
Personally, I started with Spry and have since moved to jQuery, which I
highly recommend.  ColdFusion 8+ ajax capabilities are built upon extjs, so
there are some options already available to you with that library.  By the
way, I'm not even sure Spry is under development any more, so I wouldn't
even consider that if I were you.

Libraries have their own strengths and weaknesses, so perhaps once you know
exactly what features you need that may also help you make a decision.  For
example, will you be using more of the typical "ajax" features (ie,
dynamically load remote data) or will you be using it more for DOM
manipulation?  jQuery selectors for DOM manipulation are great, but some
developers may prefer the way Spry (or other frameworks) handle remote data.


I would also look at factors such as documentation, ability to create/add
your own plugins, and the size of the development community/contributors -
all of which are very solid with jQuery.

Re: javascript and coldfusion

[Cutter (ColdFusion)]

I find it best to use ExtJs, for a number of reasons. One, it's bundled 
in ColdFusion, and I can rapidly prototype applications (using the 
cfajax tags), then build out full featured apps that directly resemble 
the prototypes. Licensing is not an issue, as we are licensed the use of 
the library with the server. It is also the largest (that I know of) 
consistent library of components available. What that means is that, 
aside from being a very large library of client side components, the 
internal make up and methods of those components are consistent as well, 
making it easy to code and manage because the objects and method calls 
maintain familiarity between each other. (not sure if I explained that 
well, but hopefully you get what I mean). It is also very easy to write 
one's own user extensions to the library, creating your own reusable set 
of components for specific tasks.

Re: Checking line 26 or 27

[Damo Drumm]

The Invoice will not change, its only ever going to be on line 26 or line 27
I tried your code but all i get is an error messag saying:

You have attempted to dereference a scalar variable of type class 
java.lang.String as a structure with members. 

When i copy the invoice in here it goes all over the place

 Sounds like the library didn't load. But it worked before so I'm not
 sure about that. What do you see in the XHR requests? You should see
 one to fetch your data. Try right click/open in new tab and see if you
 notice a CF error.

Re: More pie chart issues with CFChart

[Sandra Clark]

Found the answer.

When using  in the xml style sheet, remember to
remove the attribute paintstyle="Plain" from .  Apparently,
it supersedes it.

Thanks for the help.

RE: Unique User Login

[Dawson, Michael]

You should use the Application scope to determine who is logged-in.

First, you need a login form.

When the login form is submitted, first see if the username exists in an
array that is stored in the Application scope.

If the username exists in the array, deny further access.

If the username does not exist in the array, then upon successful
authentication, add the username to the Applciation-scoped array.

Thanks,
Mike

Shift from a single developer team to a multiple developer team

[Eric Cobb]

A friend of mine originally asked this question on LinkedIn's ColdFusion 
Programmers group but didn't get much response, so I told him I would 
post it here to see what you guys thought.  His original post can be 
seen here: http://bit.ly/4aJjes

Here's his post:

"I have been the primary developer on an application for a number of 
years and we have recently gotten the additional resources to bring on 3 
more programmers.

I am excited and terrified. We have a Visual Source Safe environment set 
up for file sharing management, but I am curious if anyone has made this 
transition and has any tips for how to head off issues down the road.

The application is somewhat modular, but certainly not to an object 
oriented extent. I am no project manager and am fearful that without 
proper planning we are going to be stepping on each other's toes an 
awful lot. "

Re: Checking line 26 or 27

[Peter Boughton]

As I said, relying on line numbers doesn't seem like a robust method - what 
happens if the top of the invoice is changed, and it suddenly becomes line 
15/16 or 32/33 or something else?

Ideally you refer specifically to the location of the invoice number, hence 
asking for a sample of the invoice to see what structure it uses.


If you r*eally* want to deal with line numbers, then you can split the content 
into an array and do something like this:









(Or, if this is the only time you're looking at lines, use ListGetAt with 
newlines as delimiters)

Its simply looking at line 26 for the invoice number and inputting it in a

but only if line 26 is blank.
at the minute its checking both lines and inputting info from both lines
