Re: Where in the registry does ColdFusion 9 store client variables?

2010-11-08 Thread Philip Kaplan

Thanks, but ColdFusion 9 doesn't have a Macromedia key.  And the Adobe
key hardly has anything in it.

Re: Back to .NET integration - Enumeration issue

2010-11-08 Thread Stefan Richter

I need to warm this thread up again - I am s close...

As explained before I was able to use the .NET Bitmap's save method to save an 
image:

cfobject type=.NET name=presentation class=Aspose.Slides.Presentation 
assembly=#slidesDLL#
cfset presentation.init(#Expandpath('./')#ppt\test2.ppt)
cfset slide = presentation.GetSlideByPosition(1)
cfset img = slide.GetThumbnail(1,1)
cfset i = img.Save(#Expandpath('./')#ppt\myfile.jpg)

The resulting image appears to be a valid JPG image. I say appears because the 
CFIMAGE tag falls over if I try to read it back into CF. 

cfimage action = info source = #Expandpath('./')#ppt\myfile.jpg structname 
= objImage
Error:
ColdFusion was unable to create an image from the specified source file.
Ensure that the file is a valid image file. 


So I thought ok, let's try and pass an Imageformat to the Bitmap's save method. 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa903826%28v=VS.71%29.aspx

I can do this:
cfobject type=.NET name=imageformat 
class=System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat 
assembly=C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Drawing.dll 
cfset v = imageformat.Get_Jpeg()

But if I then try to pass that to the Save method it errors again:
The Save method was not found.
Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types 
or the Save method is overloaded with argument types that ColdFusion cannot 
decipher reliably. ColdFusion found 0 methods that match the provided arguments.


I'm banging my head now. I also tried imageformat.Jpeg
but no dice.
Element JPEG is undefined in IMAGEFORMAT. 


Any tips appreciated.

Stefan

Re: DirectoryWatcher Event Gateway

2010-11-08 Thread Jake Churchill

Thanks for the suggestion.  I discussed DFS replication with the team and
one member said that it was a dog and very difficult to debug.  Have you had
issues?

All I need to do is keep an images directory in sync between 2 servers so I
don't need some giant enterprise level piece of software, just something
that does the job.

 Den 5. nov. 2010 kl. 16:50 skrev Jake Churchill reyna...@gmail.com:

 
  I'm using the directory watcher event gateway to sync files between 2
  servers that are load balanced.  The client uses both file upload tools
 and
  local shares to update files (all located in an images directory).  They
  have 2 sites and the images directory on one site is pushing 2GB and the
  other is about 1.2GB.  So, I have 2 directory watcher instances running,
 one
  for each image directory.  This is the same directory watcher, I just
 load 2
  different config files.  When images are added to server 1, they are
 copied
  to server 2, same for changes and deletes.
 
  My question is the following:
 
  I've never used directory watchers before.  I have these scheduled to run
 at
  5 minute incremenets and when they run the processor usage increases to
 over
  30%.  It makes me nervous consistently using this much proc so I want to
  know if this is normal.  Is there a more efficient way to sync images
  between servers using coldfusion?
 
  FYI, the images are not all in the images directory, there are about 20
  sub-directories and the directory watchers run recursively.  The server
 this
  is running on is quite powerful.  It's a 64bit windows server 2003 with a
  quad-core proc and 8GB RAM.  The JVM has been tuned for this machine.
  This
  is CF8 Standard.  (Both machines are the same)
 
  Thanks for any input.

Robocopy and rsync are two alternatives you might consider if you're
worried about the complexity of DFS replication. That said, my
experience with DFS replication has been pretty positive once it's set
up. I would choose any of these over a CF-based replication solution.

Hello All -

I have a dropwown with multiple option. When the user selects a value, goes to 
some other screen, and comes back he will be able to see the value selected. 
This is all fine. But if the user selects some last value in the dropdwon, he 
has to scroll down to see what has been selected. is there a way to make the 
dropdown scroll down to the last value automatically?

Re: dropdown question

2010-11-08 Thread Russ Michaels

you just need to set the selected item as selected in the dropdown

select name=acme
 option value=abc selectedtext/option
/select

when the user submit the form, just store the seelected value in a session
variable and use this to set the SELECTED attribute.

e.g.

select name=acme
 option value=abc #IIF(StructKeyExists(session,'acme'),
'selected',''))#text/option
/select

Yes I am doing that with the help of some form variables. I am able to see the 
selected value. My question is - suppose there are 1000 values in the dropdown 
and the dropdown is of type 'multiple', and the user selected the 1000nd value, 
the drop down should be scrolled down to that value when the user does some 
other stuff and comes back to the screen.

A search with special characters in Solr

2010-11-08 Thread Mary Jo Sminkey

I have an unusual request from my client, they want to be able to have their 
people in the field put tags in their reports that they can search on, using 
some kind of special character to tag a word as being one of these special 
search phrases. They wanted to use asterisks to do this (such as ***HIGHLIGHT ) 
but obviously that won't work. I'm wondering if there's any other kind of 
character I could let them use that Solr would pick up as part of the work and 
index, but so far my tests have not resulted in much success.

Re: Amazon S3 and Encryption

2010-11-08 Thread Gerald Guido

The simplest way to do this is use cfhttp to download the file from S3. You
can lock the files on S3 using simple authentication and use the username
and password attributes for chttp.

You can also use the Amazon S3 REST Wrapper
http://amazons3.riaforge.org/or one of the other libraries  from
RIAForge.org. I have use the S3 Wrapper
before and it works well. But IIRC the S3 wrapper uses cfhttp to talk to S3.

For obvious security reasons, you generally can't make things happen
on a client's machine from the web server. You can provide suggestions
to the client (such as the proper disposition of content) but that's
it.

If you need programs to automatically open, etc, you need client-side
functionality (ActiveX, Java, AIR, etc) to make that happen.

Re: cfheader/cfheader not working as expected

You don't get such a granular level of control in the web environment, only
in the desktop arena.

 Using attachment forces the user to make a selection on a dialog box and
 I wanted to bypass that dialog box and have the file open every time.

Re: dropdown question

2010-11-08 Thread Russ Michaels

I don't know off the top of my head how to scroll select lists, but I would
say having a select list that big is a bad idea. It will be horrible to use,
who wants to scroll through 1000 options, plus this adds unnecessary size
and load time to your page.
What would be better is to have just selected options as checkboxes or
select list and a button to add new options, which can then use ajax or a
popup window and then have a filter of some kind to allow the user to find
the options they want without having to search through 1000 entries.

 when the user submit the form, just store the seelected value in a session

 e.g.

 Yes I am doing that with the help of some form variables. I am able to see
 the selected value. My question is - suppose there are 1000 values in the
 dropdown and the dropdown is of type 'multiple', and the user selected the
 1000nd value, the drop down should be scrolled down to that value when the
 user does some other stuff and comes back to the screen.

Russ is exactly right here.

Don't put a thousand items in a select box. I wouldn't even put a
hundred in. That's not a practical interface to use.

Downloading Excel and bypassing Open/Save dialog box

2010-11-08 Thread Robert Gallagher

I want to download a web page to Excel and bypass the Open/Save dialog box 
(e.g. don't use value=attachment in the cfheader tag. I am using CF7, browser 
is IE6SP2 and Excel 2007.  The single standalone file is test.cfm.  

Here is the code: 
cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=inline;filename=download.xls / 
cfcontent type=application/vnd.ms-excel / 
table   
tr 
tdHello 1/td 
tdColumn 2/td 
tdColumn 3/td   
/tr 
/table

Excel opens as expected but the filename in Excel is test.cfm rather than 
download.xls and is opened in [Read-Only] mode.  Any ideas?

Re: inserting farsi/arabic entry to database with CF

2010-11-08 Thread Russ Michaels

Hi,

the first thing to check is that you are using the correct datatype in the
database. Many foreign languages require double byte characters which
requires you to us ethe n prefix data tyles, e.g. nVarchar, nChar etc.
You also need to consider your collation settings.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144260.aspx

And you need to consider the character encoding on the cf pages to make sure
is displays and submits data in the correct encoding format.

Re: Back to .NET integration - Enumeration issue

2010-11-08 Thread Leigh

 The resulting image appears to be a valid JPG image. I say appears 
 because the CFIMAGE tag falls over if I try to read it back into CF. 

Yes, as you guessed you have to convert the bitmap to jpeg format first.

 I'd still like to find out why the other approach with .NET 
 classes didn't work. It's so confusing... 
 cfset img = slide.GetThumbnail(1,1) 
 cfset i = img.Save(#Expandpath('./')#ppt\myfile.jpg) 
 cfset v = imageformat.Get_Jpeg() 

Assuming img actually is a Bitmap, then Save(filePath, imageFormat) should 
just work fine. (It did for me.) So I am not sure what the problem was ..

You can't wrap code within CFPROCESSINGDIRECTIVE. You simply place it
at the top of the page, without a closing tag. But in any case, that
will only control the page that's being generated (not the queries
within the page).

You'll need to ensure that data sent to the page is also UTF-8, using

cfm vs html pages

2010-11-08 Thread Rob Voyle

Hi folks

I am building a new website that will have about a 100 pages with an extensive 
menu that will need to change over time.

My thought is to create a separate menu file and create all the pages as cfm 
files 
rather than html pages and use cfinclude to include the menu. That way I only 
need to edit the menu file as I make changes rahter than go thru and update 
100 separate pages.

Any downsides to doing that?

Although ... depending on how those 100 pages are maintained, you might want
to consider the Mura CMS. It's free, it's excellent, and it'll keep that

Re: cfm vs html pages

Is the content only HTML? You can have one master navigation that links the
HTML pages. You can also have one master page that gets the html document
too. index.cfm?page=about.html, then include the about.html in the master
page.

Re: cfm vs html pages

2010-11-08 Thread Russ Michaels

The age old method is to create a header.cfm, footer.cfm, menu.cfm,
index.cfm

index.cfm contains the main layout, and cfinclude all the other files.

You then have 2 options.

create individual pages that work the same way as index.cfm, or create
content pages that get included into the index.cfm.

so u might have a url of

index.cfm/aboutus

in your index,cfm you look for the value after the index.cfm/
and then use this to determine which file to include, in this case
aboutus.cfm

most of the frame works work roughly in this type of way, so you may want to
just consider using one of those.

If this is a really simple site then Framework 1 may be the best solution
for you, it is small and simple to use.

Re: cfm vs html pages - one drawback

2010-11-08 Thread Rob Voyle

Thanks guys for th e input.

I have discovered one downside. I have a virtual private server running Cold 
fusion that I host my websites.

But to view the pages as I develop them means that I have to upload them to 
the web to see the finished page. Because of my physical location the fastest 
internet access is satellite which has lousy upload speed. this makes the final 
tweaking editing of pages a real bummer as I spend more time waiting for even 
small pages to load to the web.

Is there a way to view cf pages on my local computer without going to the web 
server. years ago Homesite had a cut down version of CF that worked well is 
there an alternative?

 internet access is satellite which has lousy upload speed. this makes the 
 final 
 tweaking editing of pages a real bummer as I spend more time waiting for even 
 small pages to load to the web.
 
 Is there a way to view cf pages on my local computer without going to the web

 there an alternative?

You can just download CF and install it on your local computer. It's
free for development use. That's what Homesite came with, actually.
It's identical to the non-free version except that it only accepts a
limited number of connections.

if you're using cfqueryparam tags (and you should) you 100% need to set the

If they would legalize lane splitting in DC/Virginia and surrounding 
areas, it would open up a whole new way to commute (motorcycle).  It 
works really, REALLY well in California.  It's the whole reason I

www.laneshare.org

Being able to ride between the lanes of cars.  It's common practice in 
California and has been for decades.

The rule of thumb is this... at speeds below 35 mph (such as on a 
freeway), in heavy traffic, you can move over and ride between the cars. 
  People are aware of this and usually will move over for you.  In rare 
cases, they don't, so you drop back in behind them until you can get 
around them.  You should never go more than 10-15 mph over the flow of 
traffic, and naturally never above the posted speed limit.  This 
generally only happens between the #1 and #2 lanes (the far left lane 
and the one next to it), but is occasionally done in the other lanes, 
but isn't recommended.

In town, the same rule applies, except that at traffic lights, you can 
ride right up to the front of the light in between cars, where you are 
always the first out of the light, out in front of all that traffic.

The end result of all this is that motorcycles don't exist in traffic 
with relation to cars, and vice versa.  We can go between cars, and they 
don't really have to deal with us being in the way because we're 
between them instead of in front of them when traffic is slow-moving.

Describing this to non-riders usually gets a typically bone-headed 
response of, duh, what happens if somebody opens their door?  Well, 
it'll hurt.  BUT, fact is, it doesn't happen.  People are very 
respectful of bikes and usually give them space.  In fact, the only cars 
I've ever encountered that don't are Priuses, since they tend to think 
they own the road.  But as of 1/1/11, hybrids are being banished from 
the carpool lane in California, much to their chagrin.

Knowing what drivers are like on I-66 I wouldn't be surprised.
Actually in this area its almost a guarantee of a near (if not) fatal
accident. Those drivers are dangerous.

I drive a MIni and in this area I have to be very alert to all those
over-sized SUVs whose drivers are usually talking on their cell
phones, eating breakfast, putting on makeup etc. A few weeks ago I had
to replace a rim and tire after being forced off the pavement because
of an SUV driver not paying attention.
Another example I remember from last year, I was giving my wife a ride
to work and saw some nit actually reading the paper and drinking
coffee while traffic was going about 25mph or so.

Motorcycles are even more at a risk from those geniuses in this area.

While this can be a nice area to live and work, the DC/MD/NoVA area
has about the most congested traffic in the country, just behind the
LA region. So if you are moving into this area you have to take that
into account. For instance my wife works in Bethesda, MD while we live
on the western edge of Northern Virginia. Its about 35 to 40 miles one
way. During rush hour if you're lucky it takes about an hour and a
quarter to an hour and a half. If you're not, the trip can take over 2

No offense but everybody says this about just about everywhere.  We all

This is why (whether in a car or on a bike), I stay away from clumps of 
traffic.  It's just inviting disaster, but even moreso on a bike. 
People will notice you if you give them a reason to notice you.  Staying 
near them in traffic at the same speed is akin to having a cloaking 
device, no matter how many lights you might have on.

Also no offense, but if you think you're alert in your car, try riding a 
motorcycle.  Stuff that would just piss you off would kill us, so we 
learn very quickly to predict what other cars are going to do before 
they do it, and avoid it.

 While this can be a nice area to live and work, the DC/MD/NoVA area
 has about the most congested traffic in the country, just behind the
 LA region.

Yeah I think LA is probably the worst in congestion, which is why lane 
splitting works so well.

I think the concept can be successfully introduced to any area.  It can 
be easily billed as pro-green because motorcycles get easily double 
the gas mileage of a car (3x that of an SUV).  They're smaller, easier 
to park, as of the last few years, they have the same emissions controls 
as cars so they're clean-burning too.

But with a proper introduction to the public... i.e. pass the law 
legalizing it, but don't activate it for a month or so, and then let 
the local TV news and newspapers advertise it.  Make it known that the 
cops aren't going to tolerate cars messing with bikes, but at the same 
time, they expect riders to be equally courteous of cars.

I'm actively working with a local state rep here in Oregon to get lane 
splitting legalized in 2011.  If there's any way to make it happen, I'm 
going to make it happen.

There would also be a rather large contingency of riders that will be more
than happy to remove the door opener's head from their torso. That should be
deterrent enough...

 SEE!  I told you somebody would invariably say that.

 I call complete BS.  If somebody did that, yeah they would seriously
 injure (or kill) a motorcyclist and end up in jail as a result.

I don't 'cause I live here and I know what some of the dumb rednecks
around here will stoop to doing, and think about the consequences
later...

I know it would never pass the Virginia legislature because of the
elitist attitude that abounds there, like I said If I can't go you
can't either

2010-11-08 Thread Larry C. Lyons

That is of course if they allow for any transportation funding at all.
Given the current state government's hostility to this area, and the
power of the Richmond and Tidewater legislators, I really doubt that
this region will get anything more than a trickle of DOT project money
for a while.
