Too much space in a name

2011-12-14 Thread Kevin Parker

I think I'm on the right track with this problem but I'm not sure how to
treat it.

Site has a backend facility that allows admins to upload files. Despite my
best advice they do on the odd occasion upload a file with spaces in the
file name e.g. my file.doc

When I output the file name and link in the query the page renders it as
my%20file.doc which I don't have a problem with. However, when I do a
CFDIRECTORY to get the file size, SIZE is returning nothing and this
generates a..

The value '' cannot be converted to a number.

when I try to process the file size for display on the screen.

I suspect its got something to do with the space in the file name i.e.
CFDIRECTORY can't find the file, but I'm not sure how to treat this problem.

Any advice please.

Resolved - error by the admin in specifying the correct file path in the
admin system (it's always something simple isn't it :-)

That had occurred to me but this crowd find new ways to name files that
haven't been invented yet :-)

The other option is I completely toss what they use and get the system to
name the file.

 The other option is I completely toss what they use and get the system to
name the file.

I always rename the file using CreateUUID() and store both the original and new 
name in the database.
This way I can reset the original name when visitors download the file.
But beside uploading and downloading, my system never has to use the original 
name.

I don't think so.   There are a few people using Javascript on the server. I've 
actually seen it once. Crazy, but nonetheless it is real.

I still wouldn't give it credence.. Don't forget, the web is a big
place. Allot of the sites visited are probably forums and such (which
php is dominant). Any company wanting quality will go for CF or

 Very disappointing statistics for ColdFusion market penetration.
 http://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/programming_language/all

I'm actually surprised it's as high as it is given their methodology.
They claim to look at the top one million (or thereabouts) websites as
ranked by Alexa.  These are going to be popular, public, relatively
high-traffic sites which is not ColdFusion's bread and butter.

ColdFusion has a huge market behind the firewall in corporate and
government intranets and other places that these kinds of surveys
can't report on.  PHP will usually dominate these kinds of surveys
because of popular open source tools that can be deployed by less
technical users, such as forums, content management systems, and
blogging tools such as WordPress.  Contrary to reports like this,
ColdFusion is alive and well in the enterprise.  It's less popular for
public websites than other languages, but that doesn't concern me in
the least.

No, there used to be a server side Javascript language, during the good times

This language was a PITA, but it did exist.

JavaScript can run anywhere there's a JavaScript interpreter. In the
context of a CF web application, the only place JavaScript can run is
the client, because CF is doing the server-side stuff. But when
JavaScript first came out (LiveScript) there was a server-side
interpreter for it. You can run JS batch files in Windows. JS is used
in Flex applications, where it's called ActionScript.

Plus, many sites don't even have a way to show that ColdFusion (or any other 
language) is being used.   

Politico for example is a HUGE ColdFusion powered site that generates dynamic 
content with CF and builds HTML files. 
The United Nations websites does the same with ColdFusion. 
There are a ton of Government sites using ColdFusion  - Does Alexa even rank 
Government sites?

Google this  filetype:cfm  
But this still only finds actual .cfm files and not any site that uses SES

 I'm actually surprised it's as high as it is given their methodology.
 They claim to look at the top one million (or thereabouts) websites as
 ranked by Alexa.  These are going to be popular, public, relatively
 high-traffic sites which is not ColdFusion's bread and butter.
 
 ColdFusion has a huge market behind the firewall in corporate and
 government intranets and other places that these kinds of surveys
 can't report on.  PHP will usually dominate these kinds of surveys
 because of popular open source tools that can be deployed by less
 technical users, such as forums, content management systems, and
 blogging tools such as WordPress.  Contrary to reports like this,
 ColdFusion is alive and well in the enterprise.  It's less popular for
 public websites than other languages, but that doesn't concern me in
 the least.

Is there a one-check box that I can use to turn 
off all Javascript code formatting?

I like to type in my JS in a certain style, but
CFB is constantly reformatting my JS according to
the preferences.  I've unchecked everything I can find
to get CFB to leave my typed formatting alone, but it
still re-formats what I type.

Please tell me what to check or uncheck to keep this
from happening.  I'm sure I've overlooked something.

There out to be a single leave everything that I type

Suggestions?

Re: Very disappointing statis

2011-12-14 Thread Russ Michaels

hacking up wordpress, Joomla and drupal sites is really all you need in the
PHP world though, these apps do almost everything most folks need, why pay
$thousands to build something from scratch if you can get the same result
from an off the shelf open source app in a few hours, even if customisation
is required, it is still less time/cost and requires less skills as you can
even automate the install and setup using Fantasico or Web Platform
Installer.
As much as I love CF, if I want to get something up quick, I will use one
of those PHP apps most of time, Mura is great, but it still requires a lot
more work and is lacking all the plugins and templates that the PHP
solutions have.
ColdFusion's advantage is most definitely in the enterprise, intranet,
bespoke market.

Try: Preferences -  HTML - JavaScript - Typing - Auto format code block

Not sure if that will do it or not, but seems the likely suspect.

On second look, in: Preferences -  HTML - JavaScript - Formatting, you

Alternatively, you can edit the formatting options to match your coding

Agreed 100%.  There is no rule of thumb for active threads, regardless of
what anyone may tell you or what you read on a fantastic blog.  Monitoring
is the ONLY way to know for sure what your performance problem is.

If you find that the CF server is waiting around alot for external calls
(DB, HTTP, etc) causing heavy queuing, then increasing threads might help.

If you find that CF is actively and heavily chugging along on all your
threads and they are just heavy then lowering your allowed threads might
help.

Even if you *guess* and change the threadcount, it will be hard to measure
real success of the change without monitoring in place.  Set it up, take a
baseline reading, then start carefully making changes one at a time.
 Measure the difference before/after and eventually you'll know what the
best setting is.

Re-evaluate frequently.

We have SeeFusion...

Our servers are VMs that are assigned to a single core of a multicore
processor (we can add more to the VM obviously).

So with that said, would 20 be too much?  Could we go higher?  This is
kinda out of my realm, so forgive my ignorance on this.

Having it isn't enough - you have to use it.  :)

Does SeeFusion tell you anything valuable?  High CPU?  High memory?  High
queues?  Stare at it for awhile and look for things that are out of place.
 Look for SQL calls that are abnormally long.  Take a stack trace when the
server is acting up and examine it (or post it for us to look at for you).

Definitely at a minimum I would make sure the SeeFusion SQL wrapper is
configured and that you have at least one alert setup to email you a stack
trace when threadcount gets close to it's max and when execution times get
close to max.

90% of the time those stack traces will tell you where your problem is.

  cfquery name=getEvents

   OUTPUT inserted.ID, inserted.cfc, inserted.runMethod, inserted.arguments,

The INSERTED scope corresponds to the record you're updating, so yes,
it's transaction-safe.

We are in the process of upgrading to 9 64 bit and hopefully, we should

combing through the code to make sure everything is compatible...the
upgrade (as well as a move from VSS to SVN) is one of my babies :-D.  We do
have and use SeeFusion.  The action in the threads shows that it is
executing a query, but the database itself is showing little to no
activity. We do have alerts that let us know when we have maxed out the
threads...but i am not sure how to measure the character of that...if it
is, as Cam said...just a fat thread that is churning away, or a bunch of
queued threads awaiting a response from the DB.  I am pretty new here and
have never used SeeFusion before...so again, forgive my ignorance...

Re: CF7 threads

2011-12-14 Thread Cameron Childress

Eric-

First, make sure SeeFusion is configured to do stack traces.  I don't have
the admin in front of me and I can't remember where this is, but it
shouldn't be hard to find.  I seem to remember that there is some minor
tweak you sometimes have to make to CF to make them work.

Next, in the alerts config, I usually setup am email alert to send me a
stack trace when the threads are about to max out.  For example, if your
max is 16, set this alert to fire off when you reach 14 of 15 concurrent
threads.  You want to catch it when a problem is happening, but not when
it's dying so bad that you can't get a good trace.  Also - I typically
setup the alert to only tell me about the problem once every two minutes.
 I can't remember that setting, but it's in the alert config.

I usually setup a similar email alert for requests taking almost the max
time allowed.  For example, if you have a request timeout of 30 seconds,
have it email you a stack trace at 28 seconds, just before the shit hits
the fan.  If you aren't using any timeouts, then just pick a number that
you think means something has gone terribly wrong and I'd like to know
about it.

Once you have a good stack trace or two, scour them for anything that looks
out of place.  Essentially you will be looking at all the code that was
executing inside CF when the problem happened.  If the trace doesn't make
sense to you, sanitize a suspicious bit or two of it and post it to the
list or somewhere on the web we can see it.

Lastly - you may wan tto setup a gmail account to catch these emails.  If
something goes real wrong, you may get lots of mail.

Re: CF7 threads

2011-12-14 Thread Eric Roberts

Not sure on the stack trace...we are looking into that.  We have the alert
set 15 out of 16.  Our alerts go to a developer's group email that is sent
out to all of the developers.  Let me check on the stack trace and see if
that is set up and take a look.  Thanks guys!

How do you include the stack trace in the email?  Is that a variable name
in the alert set up?

 Eric-

 First, make sure SeeFusion is configured to do stack traces.  I don't have
 the admin in front of me and I can't remember where this is, but it
 shouldn't be hard to find.  I seem to remember that there is some minor
 tweak you sometimes have to make to CF to make them work.

 Next, in the alerts config, I usually setup am email alert to send me a
 stack trace when the threads are about to max out.  For example, if your
 max is 16, set this alert to fire off when you reach 14 of 15 concurrent
 threads.  You want to catch it when a problem is happening, but not when
 it's dying so bad that you can't get a good trace.  Also - I typically
 setup the alert to only tell me about the problem once every two minutes.
  I can't remember that setting, but it's in the alert config.

 I usually setup a similar email alert for requests taking almost the max
 time allowed.  For example, if you have a request timeout of 30 seconds,
 have it email you a stack trace at 28 seconds, just before the shit hits
 the fan.  If you aren't using any timeouts, then just pick a number that
 you think means something has gone terribly wrong and I'd like to know
 about it.

 Once you have a good stack trace or two, scour them for anything that looks
 out of place.  Essentially you will be looking at all the code that was
 executing inside CF when the problem happened.  If the trace doesn't make
 sense to you, sanitize a suspicious bit or two of it and post it to the
 list or somewhere on the web we can see it.

 Lastly - you may wan tto setup a gmail account to catch these emails.  If
 something goes real wrong, you may get lots of mail.

  have never used SeeFusion before...so again, forgive my ignorance...

I want to say it does it by default once stack traces are enabled in
SeeFusion.  I can't remember.  I'd have to hop onto a client's VPN to take
a look at the configuration screen(s).  Give it a shot first and if you
can't figure it out let me know and I will look.

I think that should attempt to run an on demand stack trace, just to make
sure they work.  That is also where I think the instructions probably
appear if you are not properly configured for stack traces.

Is there any good online reference for configuring SeeFusion?  I would

Re: CF7 threads

2011-12-14 Thread Cameron Childress

There is a bit of documentation here:
http://www.seefusion.com/index.cfm?do=c_guide.main

The guys at Webapper have usually replied to me when I've had questions.
 You might ping them for help too.  Honestly though, tinkering with it
awhile is the best way to learn.  You start to notice little things just by
watching the data in the reporting.

Also, I would definitely look at FusionReactor as well.  SeeFusion is a
good product, but FusionReactor is a little more actively maintained.

My guess is that because ColdFusion started on the seconds try that the patch 
was applied correctly. Windows just had issues doing the startup the first time.

With out seeing the server.log file that shows the output of the startup - its 
hard to say. Even then it may not show why.

Thanks for tip, Morgan.  After trying that, I haven't noticed

Try: Preferences -  HTML - JavaScript - Typing - Auto format code block
when typing closing brace

Not sure if that will do it or not, but seems the likely suspect.

On second look, in: Preferences -  HTML - JavaScript - Formatting, you
can select No Formatting in the drop-down box.

Alternatively, you can edit the formatting options to match your coding
style.

 the preferences.  I've unchecked everything I can find
 to get CFB to leave my typed formatting alone, but it
 still re-formats what I type.

 Please tell me what to check or uncheck to keep this
 from happening.  I'm sure I've overlooked something.

 There out to be a single leave everything that I type
 alone checkbox that overrides all formatting.

 Suggestions?

 Thanks!

 Rick

Save Form Data to XML file

2011-12-14 Thread Tom Jones

Hello,
I have been searching all over cf-talk archives and on google and I don't see a 
good example on how to save form data to a xml file. 

So what I'm doing right now is, I have a xml file and read that and then 
display it in a form so the it can be edited. Here is an example on what I'm 
thinking. What I'm struggling with is the form data is not returned as an array 
of structs where I could easily create a xml file from, it's just coma 
separated lists.

Thanks,
tom

Re: Save Form Data to XML file

2011-12-14 Thread .jonah

So, if you have an arbitrary number of columns and when you submit the 
form you get:

form.align=left,left,...
form.dname=Agent Version,Allow Client,...

then you can do:

colCount = listLen(form.align);
xml = ;
for (i = 1;  i LTE colCount; i++) {
 xml = column;
 xml = align#listGetAt(form.align, i)#/align;
 xml = dname#listGetAt(form.dname, i)#/dname;
 ...
 xml = /column;
}
xml = columns#xml#/columns;

Re: Save Form Data to XML file

2011-12-14 Thread Mike Kear

IF you use cfdump var=#form# /  you should see a struct called form
with each of your form fields and their settings from the submitted form.
If you use Daniel Gaspar http://www.danielgaspar.com/'s ANYTHINGXOXML.cfc
you can automatically convert it to XML without any effort.
