 Now I know in the documentation it says this is the way you have to set it 
 up.. but I guess my two questions are
 1. Why did it work before with the code only being in one place?

I don't know. Maybe it was able to resolve to a remote share where the
files actually are?

 2. Why is the CFM files needed in both the file server (where IIS points for 
 webcode) and on the CF boxes as well?

The connector needs to be able to resolve the existence of the file.
The connector lives on the web server.

The CF service needs to be able to read and compile the file. The CF
service lives on a separate box.

All that said, I would recommend that you ditch distributed mode if
that's an option, and use a reverse proxy instead. The advantage of
using a reverse proxy is that there's nothing CF-specific about the
setup, and you don't have to have your files in two places.

RE: annoying table issue...


I found a solution...sort of...I made it static and used a blank row to set
the size of the cells with pixel gifs.  Now if I could just get the last
cell to cooperate and stay static when I expand the browser (yes...they are
set with values and not percents), I would be good :-D

The basic set up of this though is

cfoutput query=...
..codesnippet repeated 5 times...
cfif recordcount gte 6
...code snippet repeated 5 times...
/cfif
/cfoutput

Here's the code:

Based on the code snippets you provided, it will add the 1 pixel TD.

Do you have conditional logic around the last TD?

Can you paste the complete code snippet so it can be reviewed?
My initial thought is the conditional logic is not set up right.

 This looks great in IE, but in FF, it adds a pixel to the last cell with a

 blank or have 5 buttons render as expected.  I have tried adjusting the
 width of the spacer gif differently than the td width, but that didn't
 help.
 I have been banging my head over this all day.  Help!!!



 Any ideas?

This might not be related at all but I know DreamWeaver likes to correct
problems it sees with tag nesting etc. even if you disable the help in the
settings.

For example if you used something like the following to start a new row
after every 3 records DreamWeaver might add opening/closing tags or shuffle
around the order of the tags to try to fix it.

cfif rowcount MOD 3 EQ 0

RE: annoying table issue...

2010-04-08 Thread Sebastiaan GMC van Dijk


Seems like someone need a quick HTML/CSS tutorial here (or maybe it's just 
legacy code you aren't allowed to touch, just touch up?) ;-)

Strip the script tag of it's language attribute, remove all the spacer-gif's 
(so 1990 - replace with CSS border-top:1px solid #000 or inline style if 
CFDocument), use div to center-align table, ditch the nobr-tags 
(http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/classification/white-space.html), id 
your input-tags and remove the inline styles (valign etc) to the style-block or 
CSS-stylesheet.

When doing this and putting a nbsp; in the empty cells you at least have a 
cross-browser starting point, which makes your life a lot easier when it comes 
to bugfixing the styles.


Good luck!

OK ;-)


Then you could at least make sure you put a nbsp; in the empty table cells, to 
make sure they are filled up i.e. actually get borders in all browsers. 
Empty cells with no content is usually rendered very differently across 
browsers.

Re: ColdFusion Distributed Mode


 Have a question in regards to setting up distributed mode. We have ran 
 in distributed mode for years with CF7 and windows 2000. We are in the 
 process of upgrading to CF9 and Windows 2008. The problem I am having 
 is the we used to be able to have all of our code on a fileserver and 
 point IIS to that UNC path and life was good. Now the only way to get 
 Coldfusion to server CFM pages is to have the CFM code on both the 
 fileserver and the CF servers as well. It will give an error of file 
 not found if you do not.
 
 Now I know in the documentation it says this is the way you have to 
 set it up.. but I guess my two questions are
 1. Why did it work before with the code only being in one place?
 2. Why is the CFM files needed in both the file server (where IIS 
 points for webcode) and on the CF boxes as well?
 
 Any help is appreciated

Have found the answers needed.
1. Need to have interact with desktop checked on the coldfusion service
2. speed reasons alone is why you would have CFM code on the app box.

FileExists using variable - not working


Ok - I'm about to pull my hair out.

I am using fileexists() function to determine whether a image file exists on 
the server. When I type in the path it works fine, but when I use a variable it 
always returns false.

My code is like this:

cfset variables.ImageSource = C:\somedirectoy\somefile.txt

cfif FileExists(#variables.ImageSource#)
do something
cfelse
do something else
/cfif

The variable works everywhere else in the code. I am outputting it to the 
browser and have double triple checked to make sure the variable value is 
correct.

I've been working on this a day and a half and cannot get it to work.

HELP!

Two, in cfelse, what is the value of:

In other words, what is the variable's value as soon as you hit cfelse.

How can you tell when a template is recompiled?

I made some changes and tried again.  Still no dice?

I'm outputting the variable and it looks correct, unless there is a control 
character or something in the string that I cannot see.  I am thinking this 
might be the issue.  The file name was imported in SQL Server from excel.

 The value of the variable is:

It is the correct path and file name.

Re: FileExists using variable - not working


 How can you tell when a template is recompiled?

You can attempt to identify the compiled file in the WEB-INF/cfclasses
subdirectory, and look at the timestamp.

 I made some changes and tried again.  Still no dice?

 I'm outputting the variable and it looks correct, unless there is a control 
 character or something in the string that I cannot see.  I
 am thinking this might be the issue.  The file name was imported in SQL 
 Server from excel.

That could be the issue.

Re: FileExists using variable - not working


Tried:
cfif FileExists(#variables.ImageSource#) 
cfif FileExists('#variables.ImageSource#')
cfif FileExists(#variables.ImageSource#)
cfif FileExists(variables.ImageSource)
cfif FileExists(trim(variables.ImageSource))
None of which works.


 The fileExists function expects a string literal. Wrap
 #variables.imageSource# with double quotes to treat the value as a
 string literal.

Re: FileExists using variable - not working


Took the hash marks out.  Put quotes, trimmed the variable, checked the length 
of the file name to make sure there weren't any control characters or anything. 
 My code is very straight forward.  

A day and a half later, still no dice.  This is the first time I've used this 
function.  We just upgraded to CF9 a few weeks ago, but it is up to date.

This makes no sense whatsoever.  When I type the file path into the FileExists 
function it works fine.  Will not work with a variable.  Period.

Re: ColdFusion Distributed Mode


  Now I know in the documentation it says this is the way you have to 
 set it up.. but I guess my two questions are
  1. Why did it work before with the code only being in one place?
 
 I don't know. Maybe it was able to resolve to a remote share where 
 the
 files actually are?
 
  2. Why is the CFM files needed in both the file server (where IIS 
 points for webcode) and on the CF boxes as well?
 
 The connector needs to be able to resolve the existence of the file.
 The connector lives on the web server.
 
 The CF service needs to be able to read and compile the file. The CF
 service lives on a separate box.
 
 All that said, I would recommend that you ditch distributed mode if
 that's an option, and use a reverse proxy instead. The advantage of
 using a reverse proxy is that there's nothing CF-specific about the
 setup, and you don't have to have your files in two places.

 I have found the answers to my questions
1. Need to have Interact with Desktop checked under the service LogOn tab.
2. Code resides on app box strictly for speed. 
 Thanks.

storing a cfinput inside of a variable

2010-04-08 Thread Steve Logan


Is there anyway to use cfset or cfsavecontent to store a complete cfinput tag?

i.e.

cfset config.formFieldA = cfinput type=text name=fieldname 
value=//

If I do a view source, I see it the code on my output page, but it won't render 
at all in the browser.

If I try cfsavecontent it errors because the cfinput isn't in a cfform (since 
the cfinput is in a CFC being called by the form page).

The reason for this is that this one form field could have different max 
lengths, validations, validation patterns, and messages based on a variety of 
factors.  If I can move the input into a CFC that returns all sorts of other 
partner specific info, it keeps me to having just one space to enter config 
data.

Re: FileExists using variable - not working


Yep - If it type in a literal into the variable it is working.  When I build 
the file path from the database fields it will not work.  When I manually cut 
and paste the cfoutput of the variable I build with the database fileds into 
the fileexists function it finds it.  It does not like something about the 
variable that is created with the query value.  

I'm sure it is something simple.  I'm about to throw in the towel though.  I 
cannot get this to work.

Re: FileExists using variable - not working

2010-04-08 Thread Wil Genovese


I was digging into Adobe's docs to see if something change.  1. Their examples 
are terrible.  It's amazing anyone learns anything from those. 2. Nothing noted 
about changed behavior.

So I took their example and fixed it so it would work.  Try this.

h3FileExists Example/h3

cfset thisPath = getCurrentTemplatePath()
cfset thisDirectory = GetDirectoryFromPath(thisPath)
cfoutputThe current directory is: #thisDirectory#/cfoutput

cfset yourFile = getFileFromPath(thispath)
cfif FileExists(thispath)
pThe filename is: cfoutput#yourfile#/cfoutput/p
cfelse
pThe file can not be found/p
/cfif

This is the better way to do this

cfset variables.ImageSource =
'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Interspire\images_originals\#trim(catalog.sku)#.png'

Alternately you could do this:
cfset variables.ImageSource =

What you were doing produced an output that looked like this:

Looking for Suggestion: e-Commerce/CMS Integration

2010-04-08 Thread Matthew Lesko


I have ColdFusion CMS. I'm looking for an e-Commerce package suggestions where 
I can present its data - products  pricing, customer information, shopping 
cart, orders - in the CMS. The e-Commerce solution would preferably also offer 
fulfillment tracking.

I've worked with AbleCommerce in the past, but not since it converted to a .NET 
only solution. I briefly examined CFWebStore, but my investigation did not find 
any type of API that would facilitate integration. I also looked at KonaKart, 
and this appears to offer some easy integration options via a Java API or SOAP, 
but I imagine I'd be better running this as a separate JVM, instead of sharing 
with CF. 

So I am looking for opinions on these options, or for any others, readers have 
experience with. 

Regards, 

Matthew Lesko

Depending your time frame you may want to look at
http://www.quilldesign.com/. They provide an e-commerce solution. Their
latest version does not supply an API, but their upcoming release (version 5
around May or so) will have an API.

Here at Mura we are hoping to build a good relationship with them in hopes
to building a Mura plugin to their e-commerce solution.

lengths, validations, validation patterns, and messages based on a variety
of factors.  If I can move the input into a CFC that returns all sorts of
other partner specific info, it keeps me to having just one space to enter
config data.

Re: storing a cfinput inside of a variable


I think you want to be coding the actual input tag that is sent to 
the browser.

If you are not using any of the advanced features of the cfinput... 
tag, all it does is generate an input... html tag.  Skip the middle 
man and generate your own html tag.

Disregard my previous reply.  You are trying to have your cake and eat 
it too.  I.E. you are using the advanced features of the cfinput... 
tag. cfinput needs to be processed on the server to build the HTML 
and JavaScript code to send to the browser.

To do what you want, provide dynamic parameters to the tag.  Use the 
attributeCollection where you can define the attribuetes as a structure 
and pass it to the cfinput... (or any other CFML) tag.

Hey Steve,

Can you tell us what the bigger picture is, what is it that you are trying to 
accomplish by saving the cfinput in a variable?

cfinput is rendered by coldfusion for the browser in respect to the cfform 
tags that are around it.

Are you trying to create a reuseable form field where you can just paste the 
results into your form by calling the variable, for any given form you may 
create?

There are different methods for handling different scenarios.

You could create a structure that you set at the top of the page and then 
copy/paste the cfinput that uses that structure for its settings.
You could create a function that creates the cfinput field, and then call that 
function everywhere that you want that cfinput to show up.

Let us know where you want to go, and we can help you get there.  :)

Re: storing a cfinput inside of a variable

Steve,

Is there anyway to use cfset or cfsavecontent to store a complete cfinput
 tag?

 i.e.

 cfset config.formFieldA = cfinput type=text name=fieldname
 value=//

 If I do a view source, I see it the code on my output page, but it won't
 render at all in the browser.

 If I try cfsavecontent it errors because the cfinput isn't in a cfform
 (since the cfinput is in a CFC being called by the form page).

 The reason for this is that this one form field could have different max
 lengths, validations, validation patterns, and messages based on a variety
 of factors.  If I can move the input into a CFC that returns all sorts of
 other partner specific info, it keeps me to having just one space to enter
 config data.


That doesn't work, instead do something like:

cfset fieldA = {
  type=text
  ,  name=fieldname
  , value=
} /

cfinput attributeCollection=#fieldA# /

You can use a structure to define the parameters for the cfinput / tag.

-Dan
