Re: Yet another OT Mail Relay move question

2004-02-06 Thread Alan Rafael Bleiweiss
It would be incoming.  I didnt think changing ports would be sufficient 
enough, that there'd be an issue with which program handled any incoming 
mail.  The people at IMail said it couldn't be done on one machine.  Never 
mentioned ports to me.

I'll need to do some more digging.

Yet another OT Mail Relay move question

2004-02-05 Thread Alan Rafael Bleiweiss
FINALLY I'm moving to IMail from Post.Office because my being listed on 
spam lists
has caused me massive difficulties.

Does anyone have any experience in how to move pending email
to the new server?  (I've got fifty virtual domains...)  THe IMail system
only allows importing if both are live servers and each on a different box.
My situation only allows me to have the new mail server
set up and running on the same server as the existing P.O.

Is there per chance a CF script I could run?  (one can only dream)...

session variables, app variables, I'm LOST

2004-02-05 Thread Alan Rafael Bleiweiss
TWO similar issues

1. Order Numbers
I've got four sites with shopping cart systems I created.  They all rely on 
an on-the-fly order number creation system that gets passed in the URL 
because not all visitors have cookies enabled.

However I hate passing this in the URL. I've been reading a lot about 
session variables and application variables, server side, client 
side...  and I'm more confused than ever about what the right solution is 
for my situation.

With each new shopper I need a unique ID for the shopping session that 
becomes the order number.  This became glaringly more imortant recently 
when I found a search engine had listed a client site with an order number 
in the URL.   Fortunately that site didn't
have a preferred customer program so no billing information could have been 
gleaned, but still - serious stuff...

2.  MemberIDs
I've got two sites with preferred customer programs that use MemberIDs that 
when people sign in DO get stored in cookies.  Sometimes the cookies stick 
and others they dont, even on my own computer.  Lately sometimes in IE when 
I close my browser the cookie is stuck even though it's set to expire on 
browser closing...

So here again, what's a better way to store MemberID tracking that I can 
check for on each page load during that member's session?

Flash Remoting with CF MX server ?SOT?

2004-01-23 Thread Alan Rafael Bleiweiss
I'm attempting to learn how to do dynamic textual content loaded into a 
Flash MX site I'm creating.

I know how to send Flash form data to CF for processing, but I'm lost with 
pulling data into Flash
(Like a list of corporate contacts, their email and phone info, grouped by 
department)...

I was going to go use LoadVars then someone said use XML files, so I 
started learning how to
create compliant XML files with CF MX... then I saw the (to me) completely 
INANE code I'd need to
teach myself in order to properly parse the XML file inside Flash...

THEN I was being led by the Flash community that the best way is Flash 
Remoting, but I ain't got the
$1,000 for the remoting software... AND I'm doing this site on the same box 
as the CF server and the database
(Small site on a shared server)...

Do I need to use remoting software?  (Rather than using cluge-y loadvars, 
loadvariables or XML parsing)?
DOES CF MX Server come with remoting?

Can anyone please provide me an example of how to implement this if it does?

Fields I need to loop through:
Department
ContactName
ContactTitle
ContactPhone
ContactEmail

These need to be grouped by Department and then get posted onto a dynamic 
text movie clip so I can format them and make the email clickable...

Thanks for any help

Re: ecommerce store and real store inventory

2004-01-13 Thread Alan Rafael Bleiweiss
To do this in real time, they'd need to connect to the same datasource (at 
least for the inventory aspects).

That means you better ensure they have best of breed world class layered 
security going on in between the web front end and their back end brick and 
mortar system.

How big is the company? Is it just one retail physical location?  Do they 
have POS tracking into their current inventory system?  Check to find out 
whether their current POS system, if it IS doing real time inventory, has a 
CF accessible database sitting there.

MS Access password

2004-01-12 Thread Alan Rafael Bleiweiss
I've got a new client with an existing site using MS Access.  The problem 
is the original developer put a password lock on the database - the guy is 
no longer reachable - doesn't return calls, email or written letters.

I need to either know how to get passed the password or a CF snippet to 
learn the data table names, column names and data types.  Or can I just do 
an import from within SQL server 2000 without that password?

Any help would be greatly appreciated - otherwise I need to charge the 
client a lot of money to build this from scratch.

Safari Navigation Bug and general speed issues

2004-01-12 Thread Alan Rafael Bleiweiss
Two questions.

I've got a site with over 1000 products.

In that site, when bringing up any category my code (see below) shows 10 
products per page with a Next / Previous function.  On IE and Netscape on 
the PC this works (though very slowly for large categories).  On Macs IE 
and Safari,
clicking the NEXT button shows seven of the previous page's ten and only 
three new products, all of which are at the bottom of the list.

1.  WHAT in my code is causing this to fail on Macs?
2.  How can I re-code this to be much more efficient regardless of visitor 
platform?

I'm running CF MX 6.1 on a Windows 2000 server.

HERE'S THE CODE:
