Actually, Ext.isReady doesn't have anything to do with whether or not your 
components are rendered or not. It is a boolean property not to be confused 
with the on.Ready event. ExtJS has very granular and specific event triggers, 
so using setTimeout and reading Ext.isReady isn't the most elegant solution.

If you want to start interacting with ExtJS directly, I suggest you download 
and install the latest version (3.0.x) who's syntax has changed somewhat from 
v1.x. It's also the version that ships with CF9.

You'll find you'll be doing a lot more event-driven programming (e.g. on.Render 
do this).

Lastly, keep in mind that the IE6 Javascript engine is orders of magnitude 
slower than what you have in contemporary browsers, so some of the flickering 
and jumping around you see when ExtJS is doing its layouts may be unavoidable.

To help you get started, you can view a presentation I did at CFinNC a few 
weeks ago titled: "Building RIAs Using ExtJS 3 and ColdFusion"

http://www.slideshare.net/paulcormier/building-rias-using-extjs-3-and-coldfusion

Once you get over the initial (moderately steep) learning curve, you'll find 
using the Ext widgets directly rather than the CF Tags to be quite flexible.

Re: where to buy cfmx7 standard linux licenses

[Gerald Guido]

I just remembered... Other places to look are Price Watch and Google
Shopping. I didn't see any thing for v. 7 on Price Watch but I got some hits
on Google.
Price watch is a good barometer to get a feel for what's the going rates for
items.

Apache/ColdFusion 9 per-directory application isolation

[Seth Stone]

With CF9 enterprise, I'd like to connect to multiple CF instances in a single 
Apache virtual host.

For example,

mydomain.com/app1 -> handled by instance1
mydomain.com/app2 -> handled by instance2

It seems most people accomplish this by using separate vhosts, but I was 
wondering if this could be done at a directory level.  I've tried using 
 and  stanzas with their own JRunConfig directives, but 
they end up overwriting the JRun config for the entire virtual host.

If anyone knows of a built-in way to accomplish this, I would be interested.  
Alternatively, I'd like input on using an Apache reverse proxy configuration so 
that I can map /app1 to the WebService port of the JRUN instance:

mydomain.com/app1 -> localhost:8301/app1
mydomain.com/app2 -> localhost:8302/app2

Has anyone had luck with this?  Does anyone see issues with this or have a 
better idea?

Thanks!
Seth S.

FKCEditor URL Vars

[Donnie Carvajal]

Is there any way to pass URL variables into the FCKeditor either through the 
cftextarea tag or the custom tag fckeditor.cfm that comes with CF 9?  I have a 
popup window that needs certain variables to determine what information to 
display.  I am trying to avoid using session/client variables for this; 
although, I think this may be my only choice.

Thanks,

Donnie Carvajal

Re: CF, IE6 & Ext JS Oh My!

[Jason Fisher]

So, Ext.isReady is like $("document").ready() in jQuery ... good to know 
if I ever play around with Ext.  It's a convention in jQuery to wrap all 
those sorts of functions in a ready() call for just this reason:

$("document").ready().function {
doMyStuffNowThatWeAreDoneLoading();
}

Re: CF7 & iText to Merge PDFs - Examples?

Yes. Though it is an older version of iText. The usual location is something 
like:
c:\CFusionMX7\lib\iText.jar

http://cfsearching.blogspot.com/2007/12/getting-started-with-itext-part-17.html

.. or for the smart/lazy, there are some utility classes in the iText.jar for 
stuff like concatenation, watermarking, etc. At least in the CF8 version.

You can buy CF9 and contact Adobe, and ask for a CF7 license key.

Just contact one of the folks on the following link:

I picked up CF Server on Ebay a while back and even managed to save a couple
hundred bucks. I take a look every so often and there always seems to be a
couple of versions listed.

Indeed. Plenty of scoundrels on the internets. I look for ppl with lots of

SQL Update questions

[Scott Stewart]

Hey all, 

I've got a series of checkboxes, with the same name, call them X

I need to run an update query with the contents of X

 

Is this valid SQL?

 

"UPDATE table

 Set var1 = x

Where var0 = form.var0 and

Var1 in (X)"

 

Or do I loop over X and perform a series of updates?

CF7 & iText to Merge PDFs - Examples?

[David G]

I'm in CF7 and want to merge two PDFs.

I've been doing some reading, and it seems that the cfDocument tag uses the
iText libraries under the hood.  If so, does that mean they're already
installed because  my CF7 has cfDocument?

If I already have the iText libraries, does anyone have any example
ColdFusion code for merging two PDFs?

ClassCastException thrown when using with a JNDI datasource

[Dirk Johnson]

Hi, I'm using CF 8.0.1 with hot fix 3 on Glassfish and MS Sql Server and we're 
trying to move from using database datasources in the Administrator to JNDI 
datasources, but found queries bomb when using  and stored 
procedures.  I saw a similar post about using dynamic dsn's but we're only 
using static dsn's defined in the admin console and we applied the Adobe 
Cumulative Hot Fix 3 that is supposed to address this bug, but with no luck?

Can anyone offer any advice?  Suggest specific db drivers that might work?  
Documentation on this bug seems pretty spotty at best...

@Chuka, Macromedia's not selling much of anything, as they no longer exist, 
With the release of CF 9, I'm sure Adobe's main push is upgrading to 9.

@Jeff, did you call Adobe and see what they can do?

Re: CF, IE6 & Ext JS Oh My!

[Brett Davis]

Ok I found my answer and I shall share. What I was looking for was a property 
in the Ext JS that let me know it was done doing it's thing. After digging 
around the Ext JS 1.1 Documentation I found the 'Ext.isReady' property. Quick 
little test with an alert placed in the try catch block showed that the 
property was false when the page content was stacked. So I modified my inline 
JS as follows:


  
  function creation_complete(){
   lpck=setTimeout('creation_complete()',1500); 
   if(Ext.isReady){
clearTimeout(lpck);
disable_tabView('DataContainer', 'Comments');
   }
  }

  function disable_tabView(m,n){
   try{
   ColdFusion.Layout.disableTab(m,n);
   return;
   }
   catch(err){} 
  }
  creation_complete();
 


And just like magic all is well in the land of code and honey. Guess it's 
really past time for me to go and get Cutter's book on learning ExtJS.

Re: CF, IE6 & Ext JS Oh My!

[Brett Davis]

Ok well from the last post I got an idea to use the try catch to throw an alert 
box up with the error message. When the alert box pops up lets me know exactly 
when my inline javascript is firing and as I kind of expected, the content 
drawn on the screen stacked down the page. Which means that the divs that get 
applied to the content to give it the tabbed interface haven't been applied 
yet. Meaning the object id my inline JS is looking for doesn't exist yet until 
after the screen redraws itself and the tabs are displayed.

So now I need to know if there is some event that fires off to let you know the 
tab creation on screen has completed.

Re: CF, IE6 & Ext JS Oh My!

[Stephane Vantroyen]

Hi,

I'm not aware of such a book, but have you tried something like :

function refreshActiveTab(){
try{
var mySelectedTab = '#url.selectedTab#'
ColdFusion.Layout.selectTab("myTabs", mySelectedTab);
return;
}
catch(err){}
}
function addLoadEvent(func) {
  var oldonload = window.onload;
  if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {
window.onload = func;
  } else {
window.onload = function() {
  oldonload();
  func();
}
  }
}
addLoadEvent(refreshActiveTab);


Where "refreshActiveTab" should hold the needed disabletabs of yours..
I use this to do something else, but why shouldn't it work in your case...?

Order Form | How to do it?

[Arsalan Tariq Keen]

Guys -

I want to make an order form. The idea is simple. There has to be one Item Code 
field in which the user will enter the Item code of the purchased item and the 
press enter or hit 'Add to order' key. Below should be a editable grid to which 
that particular item is added on the fly with its price and quantity. After 
adding all the bought items, user hits the Commit button after which the grid 
values are posted to my processing page.

I have tried this using ColdExt... however I have not been successful uptill 
now. So anyone has any suggestions/better options/guidelines to perform this 
task... I want to use AJAX ... ExtJS is more suited for me.

CF, IE6 & Ext JS Oh My!

[Brett Davis]

Ok got a question for all the gurus out there. Is there a hidden book of 
knowledge on the subject of ColdFusion and Ext JS for version 8 of CF? One of 
the annoying things I am running into that I can live with but I just want to 
know why it happens is this. I am using  in a tabbed layout. The 
target browser of the client is IE 6 [Can't change it, large corporate monster 
I'd sooner get a pardon from the president then them upgrading.]. When the page 
renders, the content renders first kind of in a stack down the screen way and 
then there is like a slight hiccup [flicker if you will] then all the tabs get 
rendered properly and the display is as intended. I am wondering if like in 
Flex there is some kind of creation complete event that fires off when all the 
data is done loading and then the browser is reloading everything into the 
tabbed interface.

The reason I am asking that question is because it spawns from another thing I 
noticed. I was attempting to 'hide' one of the tabs depending on if a certain 
flag was flipped on or off. I was controlling this via inline javascript on the 
page. See code below:


 
  
 
 
  
 
 
  
 




 function disable_tabView(m,n){
  ColdFusion.Layout.disableTab(m,n);
 }
 disable_tabView('DataContainer','Comments');  
  




When this page loads there is a javascript error [down in the statusbar] thrown 
stating that there was an unhandled exception. Appon further inspection and 
running this in Firefox with Error Console plugin the error states: [Error: 
uncaught exception: ColdFusion.Layout.disableTab: Tab layout not found, id: 
DataContainer] which is strange because if I click the button I have on the 
page, guess what, the tab is disabled. This is leading me to believe that the 
whole flicker problem I described above is related. Maybe the flicker I see 
when the browser redraws the content in to the tabs on the screen is happening 
after my inline js fires off, in which case I am inclined to understand why my 
code is busted. If this is the case, then is there an event that fires off to 
let me know that the browser is done redrawing the content and then I can fire 
off the js function?

This is not super important, just wanna know why this is not working.
