Re: coverting string to a numeric value
By converting a string to a number, do you mean converting the string value 123 to 123, or do you mean converting one hundred twenty-three to 123? If it's the first, you've got your answer already. If it's the second, it's a bit more complex and something that has come up in the past. You can search the archives or look at cflib.org, because I suspect someone's already built a function for that.

You'll probably want to convert it to FLV rather than directly to SWF, but that needn't be done in CF specifically. If you do want to do video conversion from a CF application, you'll need to launch a conversion program from CF, like ffmpeg via CFEXECUTE. There are various FLV players that will give you various controls; we've been using this one a lot lately: http://www.longtailvideo.com/ Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335627 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Adobe no longer part of the OpenCFML committee
My thoughts - quote from Adam: It is today, as it was before. Innovation and progress in CFML is driven exclusively by the ColdFusion community. Adobe is merely a vessel that pours those ideas into ColdFusion and spread CFML advancements throughout the world. As a community, we never needed the OpenCFML board to guide or document feedback. I would alter that to be 'Adobe is the CURRENT vessel' since from the beginning CFML innovation was always driven by the community going back to the days of Allaire and the Team Allaire members. If the OpenBD team claims it is not organized enough to submit ideas then they are most likely not organized enough to release a new version of OpenBD and certainly not organized enough to be innovative. This is unfortunate since the commercial version of BlueDragon used to be innovative. If Railo Team claims they want to wait and see what tags flush out in their flavor of CFML then two things are true, 1: they are implementing language enhancements that are not community driven and 2: Railo would rather take a wait and see role instead or a lead role in the OpenCFML board. 2¢ Wil Genovese One man with courage makes a majority. -Andrew Jackson A fine is a tax for doing wrong.

I would alter that to be 'Adobe is the CURRENT vessel' since from the beginning CFML innovation was always driven by the community going back to the days of Allaire and the Team Allaire members. ColdFusion is a trademark owned by Adobe. CFML is something that is shared across a number of engines. I appreciate what Adobe has done so far for CFML. I think it is a bit disingenuous to say that Adobe is merely a vessel to put those ideas into effect. It is a, rather large, commercial entity and it first and foremost has it's own best interests at heart (by design, that's how companies work). To the extent that it aligns with developer interests, that is a great thing. If the OpenBD team claims it is not organized enough to submit ideas then they are most likely not organized enough to release a new version of OpenBD and certainly not organized enough to be innovative. This is unfortunate since the commercial version of BlueDragon used to be innovative. I have no experience with OpenBD, so I can't really comment.

I do not know if you've had any experience with the Railo project team. I can honestly say that I have never seen a more responsive project. Community suggestions are made on the mailing list, discussed, dropped in JIRA and implemented all the time. As in weekly. The lead developer on the project has often times come to the mailing list and asked for feedback on the best way to implement an idea they'd been tossing around. They have pushed the language forward in the past and continue to do so, with much greater transparency and feedback than any other project I've ever seen. Might they wait on decisions from Adobe about implementation of certain items? That seems prudent to me as it is in the best interests of all CFML programmers to have a consistent language syntax and behavior, certainly for the core language at the least. Like I said, I don't know the politics behind the whole thing. I can't say I really understand Adam's reasons from reading his blog post. My concern, however, isn't the behind the scenes politics, it is my disappointment that an effort to standardize the core language has been tossed by the wayside. I don't really care how it gets done but I think it is in the best interests of developers to be able to write an app with knowledge that you can drop it into a host running Adobe ColdFusion, Railo or OpenBD and be off and running.

Re: Adobe no longer part of the OpenCFML committee
You seem primarily interested in defending Adobe and attacking open source projects. I find this rather unhelpful and churlish. I was not trying to start a political discussion at all but rather pointing out to the community that a rather promising project has met its demise. I would like to see a standards body for CFML that pushes an evolving language framework forward while still giving individual implementations room to innovate. As a community of developers, we stand the best chance of maintaining and expanding our ranks if a new developer can come in, see a well written language spec and know that if they jump into a project they can deploy it on a CF9 multi-instance cluster at an enterprise site fronted by a BigIP load balancer or they can demo it on a $10 a month Railo VPS. I have no desire to get into any blame games and I hope that we avoid them all together. I just want to see a promising project revived because I think it will be to the benefit of us all.

Sean was saying Railo needs to wait and see what parts of their flavor of CFML become popular. This means too many requests are added too quickly without proper market research. It's also important to consider the difference between the core language - which needs to be compatible across all engines for those engines to be useful - and the rest of the CFML stuff. So Railo can easily implement new administrator features, networked caches and all manner of extensions based on the needs of a few but when it comes to the language, much more care must be taken. A great example is for-in for arrays in cfscript. Railo has supported var in such loops for a long time and had for-in on arrays long before the committee considered it. The committee picked a different implementation but since no one but Railo had implemented it, there was no compatibility issue (insofar as code that ran on Adobe / OpenBD behaved the same on Railo). With CF9.0.1 adding for-in array matching the committee spec, Railo changed their for-in array implementation to match - breaking some existing Railo code because core language compatibility is important (and there will probably be an Administrator setting added to allow legacy Railo code to continue to execute as-is). To me Railo seems to be adding to their flavor of CFML as fast as the children say 'ooh, I want'. This results in a fat bloated language spec (and fat children). And yet the Adobe ColdFusion uses far more disk space and RAM than OpenBD or Railo... :) -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive. -- Margaret A ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335641 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: IIS Missing CFM Pages
How can I make IIS 404 work for missing CFM pages? It works for any except CFM. By default, CF requests are passed through IIS without IIS checking for the individual pages. This is very useful behavior, as many CF tags and specific pieces of functionality require that CF make up new URLs on the fly, or map specific URL requests to non-existent URLs. If you can live without those pieces of functionality, you can enable the check if file exists option in the IIS configuration for the specific ISAPI extension used by CF. If you can't live without those pieces of functionality, I recommend that you implement your own 404 handling in CF. There are various mechanisms for this, such as the Missing Template Handler in the CF Admin ... Server Settings ...Settings page.

Why would wsconfig hang?
I went to our production server today to connect a new website to a ColdFusion instance and wsconfig would not cooperate with me! Using the GUI, and clicking the 'Add' button, the interface would just freeze. So we went to the command prompt to do it manually, and we could list the connectors just fine with wsconfig. But when we entered a wsconfig add command, it again froze with no response until the process is killed with the task manager. The wsconfig was running under the localadmin account that the sysop logged in with and should have had plenty of permissions as far as we could ascertain. So what could be a problem here? The wsconfig worked just fine all the previous thirteen times we have used it to connect IIS web sites to our ColdFusion instances on this system.

Re: Adobe no longer part of the OpenCFML committee
My thoughts - [SNIP] If the OpenBD team claims it is not organized enough to submit ideas then they are most likely not organized enough to release a new version of OpenBD and certainly not organized enough to be innovative. This is unfortunate since the commercial version of BlueDragon used to be innovative. I completely disagree with you about that one. The OBD group (sounds like an SM party ;) is quite innovative, for instance there are several items which are now in CF9 that I believe had their inception in Open BlueDragon. OBD has a very active mailing list, and the committee and programmers involved in it are quite responsive to the community and also to their own innovation. regards, larry ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335647 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Mura Error Handling
I have searched Google, the Mura documentation site, the Mura forums, and
the Mura Programmer's Guide for instructions on how to setup error handling,
but cannot find anything other than a handful of casual references. It
seems that there are two options:
1) Create an error handling template and provide it to the 'ErrorTemplate'
setting in the settings.ini.
2) Use an onSiteError() or onGlobalError() event handler.
Option #1 seems easy enough to implement, but I would really prefer Option
#2, and, specifically, onSiteError(). It makes much more sense to me to
handle errors within a particular site if at all possible, so that you can
keep the pretty error page looking consistent with the site that threw the
exception.
So, the question is: What steps do I need to take to utilize onSiteError()
with Mura?
I am pretty certain the first two steps are:
1. Set debuggingenabled=false.
2. Create a pretty error page, and *un*check the Include in site
navigation? setting.
3. Add an onSiteError() method to /{site id}/includes/eventHandler.cfc
Beyond that, I have no clue.
What arguments get passed to the onSiteError() method?
How should I redirect to the pretty error page? Is it as simple as
cflocation url=/my-pretty-error-page/ /?
If this has stuff has already been written up somewhere and I just have not
managed to find it, please link me to it.
Thank you in advance!

Re: Adobe no longer part of the OpenCFML committee
Sean made a distinction about core language functionality versus add-ons and I think that I should have made that distinction more strongly myself. His example of the for-in loop for arrays is a good one. I'm writing a lot of code today looping over arrays of objects. I'm using the for(i=1; i = ArrayLen(myArray); i++) syntax because i know it works everywhere. I would much rather use a for-in loop but due to the changes that Adobe made in 9.0.1, Railo and Adobe are temporarily incompatible. Railo has made changes to match compatibility but it will be a bit before it makes its way to the stable release. And I have no idea if OpenBD supports that syntax at all. Another example would be transactions. I wanted to write a transaction in cfscript today. I know that CF9 supports it. I don't know if Railo or OpenBD does or if they do, whether there are any major differences. If a developer comes in, downloads the current release of Adobe Coldfusion, Railo or OpenBD and then finds some random tutorials and examples of CFML on the web, I think that all the core language features should just work. There will be thinks like cfldap, S3 integration and such that won't and I'm ok with that. But I do think that a core, coordinated, language is not only key to helping existing developers be more productive, it is also key to attracting and retaining new developers.

Re: Adobe no longer part of the OpenCFML committee
http://github.com/denuno/cfml.dictionary It's just a java project right now, but the plan is to leverage it to power a CFML application similar to quickdocs, etc., but with different engines in mind, blah blah blah. CFEclipse was the motivation for this... I'm in the process of switching the way dictionaries are handled to a more flexible and collaborative type of deal. Pull updates from a URL, add/update/share dictionaries easily, etc.. It's a shame that a squatter appears to hold cfml dot org, it would be really nifty to have dictionaries.cfml.org, etc.. The CFML application/website is a bit of a pipe dream at this point, but I'm actively working on the actual java library for interacting with CFML dictionaries, which is more pressing for me ATM. I really need to just bite the bullet and get a VPS somewhere, otherwise the CFML applications will continue to be dreams. Maybe I'll try cfmldeveloper.com for now. :) Yes, I can do it all-- I'm special like that. HOOAH! =)p Should be done by about 2018. :Den -- A specter is haunting Europe - the specter of communism.

Oh yeah, and it will allow editing of tags online. That part will probably come before anything else, and materialize pretty soon, as I'm s tired of wanking with the dictionaries by hand, so to speak. Yeah, I know last sentence sounds funny if you're across the pond. Byte me. :) -- Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval.

+1 for Longtail. Yes, it's commercially licensed, but it's not expensive and the feature set continues to grow.

I would much rather use a for-in loop but due to the changes that Adobe made in 9.0.1, Railo and Adobe are temporarily incompatible. Railo has made changes to match compatibility but it will be a bit before it makes its way to the stable release. True, it was adjusted to match the OpenCFML spec / ACF9.0.1 in 3.1.2.016 (we're at 3.1.2.018 now) and will be part of the stable 3.2 release 'soon'. Another example would be transactions. I wanted to write a transaction in cfscript today. I know that CF9 supports it. I don't know if Railo or OpenBD does or if they do, whether there are any major differences.

Re: CF9.0.1 Update and IIS7
Hi Matt, I understand you've resolved the issue. I would just like to add my notes here, from a similar experience, in case it helps anyone. I did the following steps (w/ IIS6 Compatibility Options re-installed, and after 1st click of wsconfig's Remove button threw the Error deleting IIS application extensions error): 1. Clicked Remove button a 2nd time (this removed the (IIS):All entry from wsconfig tool) 2. Used wsconfig tool to config(add)-then-unconfig(remove) any site which still contained handler mappings not removed in step #1 (to resolve the Error deleting IIS application extensions error) 3. Re-uninstalled the IIS6 Compatibility Options 4. wsconfig tool could then successfully config IIS for 9.0.1 Step #2 resolved the issue. I verified by: 5. Uninstalled CF 6. Re-installed IIS6 Compat Options 7. Installed CF9 (selecting option in install wizard to config all IIS sites) 8. wsconfig tool could then successfully unconfig IIS (no more Error deleting IIS application extensions error) 9. ..continued on w/ re-uninstalling the IIS6 Compatibility Options, installing 9.0.1 updater, then using wsconfig tool to successfully config IIS for 9.0.1 That's from memory.. but I do know step #2 helped. Thanks!, -Aaron Neff OK, that is what I thought, and that is what I did. However, when I attempt to remove the site via the wsconfig console, I receive the error message mentioned in the docs: Error deleting IIS application extensions .jsp,.jws,.cfm,.cfml,.cfc,.cfr,.cfswf,.hbmxml from web site Any (X) So, I cannot delete the damn site from wsconfig, nor can I re-configure it in wsconfig, because it is still showing as already being configured. There _has_ to be a way for me to get this fixed, right? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335671 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
