Re: cfx_pwtextcrypt CF9
Check the CF9 docs. There's quite a bit of encryption/decryption support built in to CF8/9. You might have transition issues to work through, but you shouldn't need a CFX for that purpose at this point.

However, it looks like on the 64 Bit CF9, it no longer works. I assume it's a COM related issue. Does anyone know for sure? The tag was able to generate a public/private key pair using RSA 512 bit encryption and subsequently perform encryption/decryption using the keys generated. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this with CF9 without this CFX?

Re: Fusebox seemingly clearing contents of session variables on relocation
Presumably you are doing something like so... cfset session.myvariable = form / cflocation url=foo.cfm / I have not tested it, but I am guessing that you are loosing the session variables because you are creating a _reference_ to the form scope. When you redirect, the form scope is now empty, and therefore, any and all references to it will be empty. To create a session variable that actually holds the *value* (rather than the reference), use duplicate(). cfset session.myvariable = duplicate(form) / cflocation url=foo.cfm / This is not how references work. You can safely create a reference to the form (which is itself just a reference) and when the form goes out of scope, the reference you subsequently created will still be available. There's no need to use Duplicate here, and it's unnecessarily expensive.

Re: Fusebox seemingly clearing contents of session variables on relocation
Dave, as you well know I usually agree with you. However, in this case, I
do not agree with you at all. Why? Because you are 100% wrong in your
statement. What I showed is **exactly** how references work.
1) If you create a _reference_ to something as my code example did...
cfset session.myvariable = form /
2) and then you change the original...
cflocation url=foo.cfm /
3) the reference **will** be updated to match the value to which it is
pointing at.
In ColdFusion, structures are passed _by reference_ rather than _by value_.
The only way to pass a structure in CF by reference is by using
duplicate(). Can it be an expensive operation? Ayep. Is it necessary when
you want to pass by value rather than reference? Ayep.
The 'form' scope, like all others in CF, is a structure. Therefore the
rules about reference and value apply to it just as though you had created
the structure yourself with structNew().
Test the code I wrote. You'll see that I am right.
Now then, if you are setting your session values like so...
cfscript
session.myvariable = {};
for ( key IN form )
{
session.myvariable[key] = form[key];
}
/cfscript
... then you are creating brand new variables that will are _value_ based
rather than simply a reference to the form scope. If this is what you are
doing, then, of course, changing the form scope (of form-scoped variables)
will have no bearing on the session variables you created.

Reserved function names?
Hi, I am creating a site with a codebase that is shared across several domains. Each site has a cfc that contains functions that are called in each section of my base application.cfc.

SQL selecting distinct items by date?
More on SQL-topic than CF (MS SQL), but hopefully is an easy one. I have items with a datetime field that stores when the items are added to the DB. There is a pivot table that links items to categories. I'm trying to pull out the top 5 unique categories with the newest-added items. This is what I'm trying to do even though the syntax doesn't work: SELECT TOP 5 DISTINCT pivot.CategoryID, Category.Name, Item.DateAdded FROM Category INNER JOIN pivot ON Category.CategoryID = pivot.CategoryID INNER JOIN Item ON pivot.ItemID = Item.ItemID ORDER BY Item.DateAdded DESC I can get close, but the DateAdded fields are always unique (sometimes only seconds apart, but unique) so no matter what I do it always thinks the result records are unique and won't give me unique CategoryIDs.

Heh. OK. Well, the answer is, as you have found, yes, it works just fine. This is what most (all?) of your MVC frameworks do in order to extend the Application.cfc functionality. Assuming that the code you place in such named methods is appropriately placed, there is nothing at all wrong with naming your methods the same way. :-) ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:342182 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

In ACF, form is a fairly regular struct object that is created and populated afresh on each request with whatever is posted into that request.
