Re: Recommendations for a Knowledgebase written in CFML?

Not quite. I was looking for a CFML version of something similar to 
www.kbpublisher.com

Thanks!



I also experienced a bit of slowness when the search was Loading

However, the reason for this reply is I did see Context-based Help  
tag on RiaForge.  Does this do what you want?

Recommendations for a Knowledgebase written in CFML?

2008-06-04 Thread Alex Sherwood
Greetings,

I've searched high and low and have yet to find a knowledgebase application 
written in CFML. Project Management/Time Entry apps seem to be plenty - KB 
apps, not so much! Places I've searched: Google upteen ways, Charlie Aerhart, 
Adobe.com Developer Forums, etc.

If anyone has experience with a pre-built KB app. written in CFML, it would be 
greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 Greetings,

 I've searched high and low and have yet to find a knowledgebase 
 application written in CFML.

The search function is broken at riaforge.com. I browsed all CF projects, 
though, and did not find one. The best I've seen on the net is 
www.kbpublisher.com, but it's PHP. ;-(

Yes, Dave it was. It was in response to him oversimplifying and maiming 
the intent of my original post. The response was right on target: 
telling him to actually read the post (which I assumed he could not 
because of excrement blocking his vision), and a simpleton because the 
term is reflective of his actions of not being able to take my post for 
more than raw criticism.

Reaching for the rapier or a cudgel would not have been appropriate. My 
response was based on an earlier exchange of posts - it was not a 
baseless ad- hoymnum attack.

I did not say that I thought CF would die. On the contrary, I 
stated that I believed the MM would still invest time and 
resources into CFMX.



Well, we can all speculate on this until the cows come home, but why bother?
If you believe that MM will still invest time and resources into CFMX, why
not just let them choose how they want to handle advertising? What does
their internal view of CFMX matter, as long as they still invest the
appropriate time and resources into the product? Why do you think you're
more qualified to run their marketing than they are? They have a lot of
diverse products, and a similarly diverse audience of potential and actual
customers. Don't you think that they would spend more time pushing CF if
they thought that this would be more profitable than pushing something else?
  


I'm sorry...can you point me to the place in my original post in which I 
professed to know more about marketing MM's products then they do? 
Dave,  here is what I said:

--

Why am I mentioning this? Well, IMHO, it's a subtle but important 
indicator about MM's view of CFMX. It's not that they won't devote $$ 
and resources to its continued development, but it's clear that the 
broader reach products like Breeze and some of the Flash authoring 
tools will continue to force CFMX to  backstage 

--

My post was not only factual, but not a directive. I never directly or 
indirectly insinuated that MM should change their  marketing strategy. I only 
commented on what it actual was, and offered my opion on what the lack of 
exposure on MM's site on launch could mean.

As for the why bother, you're kidding right? Do you mean to tell me that 
Chris Berman the ESPN acnchor should sit still and just read the ball scores, 
without any commentary and anaylsis. Shoot, he can change the was Donovan 
McNabb plays, so why even bother talking about it, right? Just let McNabb throw 
the ball and report who scored more points on Sunday night?


I find it amazing that people will read one post which raises a minor issue and 
asks an open ended question about CF, and respond as if I'm advocating bringing 
Ted Bundy back from the dead to speak at DevCon in Anaheim!


People seem to be in the habit of comparing Macromedia's stewardship of CF
to the good ol' days of Allaire. Well, Allaire had how many products? One,
really, unless you count Allaire Forums and Spectra - both of which were
handled poorly, in my opinion. Oh, I forgot JRun - but neither Allaire nor
Macromedia really push that at all, they just used it to build a bunch of
other products.

  

Again, Dave, this is hyperbole. I only commented on CFMX7's exposure 
compared to other products on launch day (including the prior version of 
CFMX!) - not MM's stewardship compared to Allaire.

You'll also notice that I ignored his first 2 posts, and responded by 
calling him a simpleton a day later, after a 3rd post insinuating that I 
felt my career rested on a flash banner ad.

In 4+ years on the list, I have never had an unpleasant exchange with

I just spoke with the web producer responsible for managing
ColdFusion-related content on the site. He said that the blue
speedometer promo badge for CFMX 7 was featured on the homepage (and
you'll have seen it all over the CF-related pages on the site). He
also said that certain international macromedia.com homepages included
a full FMA (rotating banner ad) for CFMX 7.

Remember that Macromedia has a lot of products and therefore a lot of
competition for FMA and promo badge space - marketing has to balance
each and every campaign in order to get the most bang for their buck,
so to speak...
  


Absolute, unabated hogwash. Notice I wasn't asking why CFMX didn't get 
top billing 100% of the time, I was asking why CFMX 0% exposure at the 
top of the page. If I recall correctly, it was that same old tired Volvo 
banner that ran for WEEKS before the launch of CFM that was still showing.

Are you telling me that showing the CFMX banner to 1 in 5 visitors would 
hurt the sales of the products?!

note type=purely personal
I get pretty ticked off by certain CFers feeling slighted every time
that Flash or Breeze or whatever gets a mention but CF is not
mentioned in the same article. Someone recently complained that the
news article about Flash on mobiles (Stephen Elop's piece, I think)
didn't mention ColdFusion but did mention Dreamweaver. It was a news
item aimed at the business market and so it pushed the business value
of Flash on mobiles and mentioned a reference point that those
business users might recognize (Dreamweaver). There would have been no
point in mentioning CF in such an article. Try not to get blinded by
your own personal evangelism about CF (or any other technology)!
/note

And, yes, stop being so paranoid, OK? :)
  


Forgive me for being a little obtuse here, Sean, but this, too, is 
drivel. The comparison is totally irrelevent. I was referring to a 
product CREATED BY Macromedia, MARKETED by Macromedia and SOLD by 
Macromedia. I wasn't suggesting that MACR mention CFMX on the Flash 
product pages. Nor was I stating that CFMX should be mentioned in the 
same breath as Flash or other IDE tools.

I just found it odd that on the launch day of a brand new server 
product, hyped for MONTHS with all kinds of hush-hush NDAs and the like, 
that it woul get more than a 60x60 pixel image of a speedometer to 
launch it. I think the lack of fanfare reflects MM's view of the 
product, and what direction it would take when Adobe takes over.

No paranoia here, just some observations from someone who's used 
ColdFusion from the 3.0 days.

Good day.

After spending tons of $$$ on a WORLD TOUR, why the hell would 
Macromedia NOT highlight the release on their website? Why spend the 
money on creating awareness and then not put it front and center on 
release day (and instead leave a WEEKS old banner for Flash video)?

The speedometer graphic was lame and insufficient, and is reflective of 
the internal view of CFMX. That's all.

Riddle me this: why would RedSky get decent attention when it was 
released? I remember a nice banner and decent info about that release. 
If I recall, the groundbreaking release of those awesome FireFly flash 
components got more attention at MM.com!.

The sky isn't falling. Your career does not rest on a rotating flash ad.

I was only commenting on why MM *wouldn't* devote more than a small 
speedometer graphic to the launch of their premier application server 
product. That's all. My observation wasn't to forecast the future lack 
of sales, but rather to shed light on the internal view of the product - 
that MM saw fit to give it 0% space at the top of the page.

Hi Ben,

I value your opinion, so I'm glad to see that you at least agree with 
me  in principal.

Also, you'll notice that I just referenced launch week - not *permanent* 
space at the top of MM's front page. And, not even 100% of the space at 
the top - just a space in the rotation of the banner ads - some that 
were weeks old.

You just confirmed what I had assumed - that there was concscious 
decision on MACR's part to NOT place a banner ad at the top - even if it 
were 1 in a rotation of 3 or 4 for other MM products. This is what 
bewildered me.

I wasn't forecasting the end of CFMX, or gloomy sales, or a dastardly 
takeover by Adobe!

For what it is worth, I agree, there should have been a big flashy banner.
And I voiced this opinion before we shipped. Not that I thought it would
make any difference whatsoever to CF sales (it did not, and CF sales are
pretty darned good BTW, heck they are up since we did not run the banner!),
but the reason I said that we needed it was that if we did not run one we'd
keep hearing look, it is proof that CF is unloved. And although these
recurring threads prove that I was right, that apparently was insufficient
reason to place a banner there.

Oh, this may surprise some of you, but Macromedia sells lots and lots of
products, and every product team wants banner space and marketing real
estate, and most can't get everything they want. It's reality. Dedicated DW
users feel that DW does not get enough banner space, just like dedicated CF
users feel that CF does not get enough banner space ... you get the idea. So
what to do? Not all products get (nor should get) the exact same type of
marketing, teams have to do what works best for them. And for CF roadshows
(including the tours that someone mentioned earlier), tons of customer
calls, big wide-open beta programs, and lots of face-to-face interaction has
proven to be far more effective than banner ads. And CFMX7 sales to date
prove that we did exactly what we needed to do (and thus plan on doing lots
more of it).

And yes, I still think we should have ran banner ads, just so we'd not be
having this very distracting conversation yet again.

The spirit of my original post has been lost.

Simply put, I thought it odd that CFMX7 was not featured more 
prominently at MM.com on its release day (or week) like prior CFMX 
releases and other MM products. Ben Forta validated that it was a 
concsious decision on MM's part to NOT put up a banner.

No mention of sales, security, future sales forcasts, etc. Just the 
observation and what it could mean for CFMX if/when Adobe took over.

And by the way, a banner on MM's site is NOT advertising. MM's banner 
ad on CNET or Builder.com is advertising!

CFMX: Dissed by Breeze and FlashLite?

2005-05-02 Thread Alex Sherwood
When CFMX7 was launched, I queried as to why the only marketing on MM's 
site was a small picture and some text in the center Products column. 
I surely thought that with the launch of the most exciting and 
feature rich version of ColdFusion, the product would get top billing 
on MM's website and be featured in the main animation banner that spans 
across the page, above the fold.

To my surprise, this never happened. During the launch, Flash Mobile and 
a few other products were featured in the main animation - many of which 
were days/weeks old at this point.

Enter Breeze 5. Sure enough, on the day of the announcement, there is a 
nice banner highlighting product as well as a smaller graphics and text 
in the center products column. Surely, MM wanted the world to know about 
Breeze 5, and the website shows it.

Why am I mentioning this? Well, IMHO, it's a subtle but important 
indicator about MM's view of CFMX. It's not that they won't devote $$ 
and resources to its continued development, but it's clear that the 
broader reach products like Breeze and some of the Flash authoring 
tools will continue to force CFMX to  backstage instead of its 
rightful place at center stage.

To make things worse, MM and Adobe are set to merge.  With both 
companies heavily invested in the tools market, CFML's future could be 
bleak. CMFX won't dissapear, but it's growth in terms of market share 
AND features could be slowed to an unacceptable pace as MM/Adobe's 
attention focuses more closely on their cash cow: tools and IDEs.

Sorry for the rant, but I hate to see CFMX get dissed by it's own company!

Re: CFMX: Dissed by Breeze and FlashLite?

2005-05-02 Thread Alex Sherwood
I think some of the banners rotate at the top of MM's page. How about a 
CF banner that rotates in, say, one in 5 views?! There was NOTHING, not 
one banner that I could see.

Why even issue a press release with MM's URL on it then? Why not just 
post a message here on CFTALK and let the bloggers talk about it?


Jim Davis wrote:

Of course there are other ways to look at it:

CF may be exactly the type of product that won't get generated sales from
such placement.

CF is a more deliberative product: something that people need to study and
try before choosing.  Breeze and Flash are, well, flashy products that,
with a short web demo may attract managers and buyers on that strength.

You might also just simply say that Flash is the companies bread-and-butter.
It will get top placement more often than not.  However Breeze is (from all
accounts) struggling a bit.  It gets top placement to promote it.

However with no such placement ColdFusion is (from all accounts)
flourishing.  Sales are up, satisfaction is high.

Why bother dedicating such space to a product that's doing just fine without
it?

Of course this is all just conjecture, but they seem as reasonable
explanations as anything else I think.

Paranoid conspiracy theory? What?

Don't put words in my mouth, skippy. My post was a relevant topic on 
what I thought was MM's poor exposure of CFMX7 compared to products like 
Breeze and Flash Lite.No conspiracies - just facts about marketing 
collateral (or lack thereof) displayed on MM's website.

I'm sorry, can you point me to the post where you told people posting 
about the MM/Adobe merger to move the posts to their personal blogs? 
Where is that post in the archive, because I can't seem to locate

 If I were in charge of Macromedia, I'd do exactly the same thing they're

selling CF. I like CF, don't get me wrong, but it's not the unique kind of
thing that Flash is. It will always be somewhat of a niche product, no
matter how good or popular it is.

Flash, on the other hand, is clearly the most important asset that
Macromedia has. It is the core of Macromedia's business. It is the one thing
that Macromedia has, for which there's no competing product. It's installed
on practically everybody's computer.

And, at some point, I do recall seeing a CF 7 banner at the top of the MM
site. I don't know how long it was there, though.
  

I didn't see one at all. Again, my point was there was next to NOTHING 
on the MM front page, especially the top banner, during the 2 weeks 
after the release. Putting a CFMX 7 banner at the top in a rotation of 
two or three other banners wouldn't kill Flash and Flash based products.

I just thought it was odd that there was NADA, ZILCH, NOTHING.

My question is: how is the compiled .class file name generated? Is it 
based on full file path, or random number? Why the heck would I get a 
permission problem reading a file from my own site unless I was trying 
to read a file compiled by another website on the shared host?

Any help is appriciated.

Help with NAT and DSN setups in CF Admin

2005-04-05 Thread Alex Sherwood
Greetings.

Our IIS 6/CF server is on a 10 dot network, and mapped to an external 
IP via our firewall appliance.

When trying to set up a DSN to our MS SQL Server, I keep getting a 
connection refused error message. I am using the server name (UNC 
name) and the correct username/password. The SQL server is across the 
'net on another network. The CF/Web server's public IP has open access 
through the firewall into the network where the SQL server is kept.

What's strange, is that I created a system datasource in the ODBC 
control panel applet, and I connect to the SQL server just fine. I then 
used the CF Admin to create an ODBC socket DSN to connect to the local 
DSN on the web server.


Any ideas on why I can connect to the remote SQL server via a Microsoft 
local system DSN, but not directly to the SQL box from CF Admin using 
the stock SQL server drivers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply Dave. You always have great suggestions.

At this point, I cannot even connect to a local SQL Server, on the same 
10 dot network as the CF box. I verified that both TCP/IP and Named 
Pipes are enabled in the Server Network Utility, and that both Windows 
and SQL Server logins are enabled on the SQL Server 
Configuration\Security Tab.

I can type \\SERVERNAME\c$ for the SQLbox - from the webserver - and I 
get access no problem.

I am unable to connect from the CF Admin and get the same error when I 
use either the public IP or the 10 dot IP for the SQL Server (instead 
of the name).

Any ideas?

When you connect via ODBC, are you using TCP/IP, or Named Pipes? (Named
Pipes uses Windows Networking (NetBIOS) on top of whatever protocol you're
using, which is typically TCP/IP.) Named Pipes is the default, and JDBC
doesn't support that. You may need to configure your SQL Server's network
listeners to include TCP/IP. You can do this using the Server Network
Utility from the SQL Server console.

Also, is your SQL Server configured to allow native SQL logins (untrusted
connections)? By default, SQL Server only accepts trusted connections that
use Windows authentication. The JDBC drivers that come with CFMX don't
support this, although apparently some third-party drivers like jTDS
(http://jtds.sourceforge.net/) do.

Solved: Help with NAT and DSN setups in CF Admin

2005-04-05 Thread Alex Sherwood
Looks like applying SQL Server SP3 did the trick. It was installed 
previously, but the SQL Server was *re*installed, and the SP was not 
applied.

MDAC *before* the SP was installed showed 2.8 - which is most current at 
the time. Perhaps something else in the SP fixed a connection error?!

Oh well, Thanks again Dave.

I think MAX 2004 was supposed to be San Diego, and it was changed to 
Salt Lake at the last minute. I would bet it's San Diego this year. My 
guess is that the San Diego convention center needed the space, and 
offered MACR a really good deal for 2005 if they voluntarily moved the 
conference away (despite having signed the deal already). Just 
speculation, though.

How 'bout coming back to Orlando?!

I have been to every MAX (even the DevCons) except Salt Lake and New

Suprisingly, I work less than 3 miles from where CFUNITED (a.k.a. CFFUN)

Me too. Don't know about rates, but their integration is simple.

Check out CF_AUTHORIZE custom tag from Oleani (sp?) or 
www.xauthorize.com - who makes a COM object that interacts with  HUGE 
number of various gateways, and offers a standard interface for getting 
to them.

Hope this helps,

Connecting to SQL from CF across the 'Net?

2005-03-21 Thread Alex Sherwood
All of my CF development has used data sources that have been on the 
same local network as the CF Server. In an upcoming project, I'll be 
connecting to a SQL server from CF by it's IP address via VPN over the 
Internet.

I'm curious to hear from others who have done this if there have been 
any issues with dropped connections, poor performance or other 
difficulties from within CF.

Any heads up tips would be a huge help. Thanks Much.

Re: XML elements start with CF -- throwing an error

This seems weird to me, as CF_ is reserved, but you *should* be able to

I'm fairly new to using CF with XML and have a potential problem I need some

I'm using cfxml to create an XML document using elements given to me by a

The problem is a few of these elements start with CF (i.e., 
CFDCurrentJoinDate01/01/2005/CFDCurrentJoinDate or 
CFIMemberId123456/CFIMemberId). This is the way they have to be named 
because we're using BizTalk to integrate with a remote, internal database and 
that's the way it recognizes these elements (in other words there's no 
changing them).

When I test it out I'm getting this error:

You are using tags whose name begins with CF, but the tag is not registered 
with Neo. Either the tag is not completed yet, or have you been playing with 
the configuration? 

Unknown tag: CFDCurrentJoinDate.  
ColdFusion cannot determine how to process the tag CFDCurrentJoinDate because 
the tag is unknown and not in any imported tag libraries. The tag name might 
be misspelled.

What should I do here to get it to work right? Any help is greatly 
appreciated! 

TIA,

Make it so when they log in, it lists the subjects of the messages they 
need to read, with a button at the bottom of the page that lets them 
bypass and hit the main landing page.

On the main landing page, you can have a small box that reads You have

Hi All, I've got an idea that I would like to see what'ya all think about. I
have a need to publish some information across my Intranets. I was thinking
about a message center where the message center pod would read from a global
RSS file and display information as needed. However I would like to push
that information to users as a popup or something.

I'm a little hesitant to force a user to see a popup while they may be
working on say a contact record. So I was thinking of creating a MSN like
message window that will popup in the right corner of their screen. A 5x5
pixel flash window will run a webservice that reads from the feeds per site
at a set interval. The interval could be set by the user in their control
pod.

What are your thoughts, does anyone see anything wrong with something like
this. Do you think they may find it annoying?

Webservices issues with CFMX7?

2005-03-04 Thread Alex Sherwood
Anyone else have problems registering Webservices with CFMX 7?  I have 
CFC that registers fine on CFMX 6.1 box, but not on the CFXM7 box.

In fact, I can register the CFC that is stored on the 6.1 box from the 
CFADMIN in the CFMX7 box, but cannot register an exact copy of the CFC 
that his hosted on the CFMX7 box. For both, I can enter the URL plus the 
?WSDL in the browser and the WSDL looks valid.

Any ideas?

Re: Webservices issues with CFMX7?

2005-03-04 Thread Alex Sherwood
Thanks for the reply, Sean.

I just figured it out, and it was firewall related.

We now NAT our webserver, and the public IP range that we have that NATs 
to the internal IP range was not made a part of a trusted local zone, 
so the java NetConnection object was timing out trying to get to the 
local box to get the WSDL file.

This was one of the last things I tried as I never considered a box not 
being able to connect to itself. We're new to NAT here, so it took us a 
while.

Thanks!

Very strange. Makes no sense since CF shouldn't care where the web

to debug it? Or maybe you can send me the CFC off-list to try out?

To clarify here, you're saying that CFMX7 should be added to DevNet as a 
full, working version, just like CFMX 6.1 and all of the other 
platforms, but MM says the trial version is all we'll get?

If this is the case, I think its pretty bogus. But, I'm sure the DevNet 
license states somewhere that MM has the right to modify what is 
available for download at anytime.

This wouldn't suprise me one bit.

2005-02-09 Thread Alex Sherwood
I don't know that this is 100% correct.

At one point, I was slated to be certified in teaching CF at a MM 
certified training center. Once you arte certified, there should be no 
problems. Now, if you want to become a Certified MM traning center 
(which is different than being a certified trainer), there may some 
other requirements.

I don't know that you have to be sponsored by another MM training 
center to start your own center.


Bryan F. Hogan wrote:

I agree with this 100%. While reading this, I remember the time I was trying
to start my own training company with a partnership with the local Colleges

CF Certified Trainer cert. Well according to MM you can't get a cert for it
because you have to be sponsored by an established training facility even if
you're opening your own (and even though I was a Team MM member). So long
story short I could have had hundreds of new recruits into the CF world, but
because MM would not let me take the exam for the Certified Trainer the
wheels stopped turning.

It seems to me that if MM would more readily support those of us who are
looking to teach and evangelize, we would have more newbies in the CF world.

I think having 2 would suffice - in your case you could have partnered 
with one other developer and been all set.

Well for someone trying to start their own center how then do they become a
certified trainer? Work for another company before starting your own? It was
ridiculous and that is what I was talking about. So in the end MM lost a
valuable asset.

I don't know that this is 100% correct.

At one point, I was slated to be certified in teaching CF at a MM 
certified training center. Once you arte certified, there should be no 
problems. Now, if you want to become a Certified MM training center 
(which is different than being a certified trainer), there may some 
other requirements.

I don't know that you have to be sponsored by another MM training 
center to start your own center.

isUserInRole takes multiple roles?

2005-02-02 Thread Alex Sherwood
Question:

Does the inUserInRole() function take a list of roles or a single role?

The Complete ColdFusionMX Reference has an example where multiple roles 
are passed in, but I cannot get it to work. I find it hard to believe 
that they would publish an example that would be incorrect (an not due 
to a typo).

Thanks,

It's done by the browser, not the stylesheet. The Google toolbar does

The thing is, other people that install the MSN Beta search will see

There might be an option to turn this off.

I'm a little confused. Can you post a sample XML document, and mark 
where the line breaks should be?

If I understand, you want to be able to embed line breaks in the caption 
text and then have the line breaks be refelected when the caption text 
is displayed? The front end is Flash, right?

Re: XML/XSLT Line Break

I see now.

I have very little experience with Flash as a font end, but it seems to 
me that you would need to have Flash recognize the line break some how. 
I don't know how flash renders text, but if it can render basic HTML, 
then your fine.

Try embedding a CFLF where the br/ tags are, ala:

xsl:value-of select=#13;#10;/

These should not be normalized or escaped by your XML parser.

I've used Auth.net for 3+ years.

You post transactions to their server via a standard HTTP post over 
HTTPs. They return a comma delimited list of result fields. They have 
good docs on the field names, requirements, etc. on their site.

Because CFHTTP is absolutely worthless, we use a COM control to connect. 
Check it out at www.xauthorize.com. You use createObject to get a handle 
on the object, set it properties and call the charge() method. You then 
read the properties of the object to get your results.

Hope this helps.

You don't need to do anything as far as installing and configuration an 
SSL cert.

Just use cfhttp to call their dll

  


But the form data they type into your form that is then CFHTTP'd to 
Auth.net * should * be encrypted. For this, you'll need a cert.

It's really very easy.

them. I hate calling sales people, haggling over price, and still feeling

I still have yet to receive anything from Macromedia notifying me that

The Death of DevNet :-(

2005-01-04 Thread Alex Sherwood
According to an email distributed last evening, MACR is killing DevNet. 
StudiMX looks to be in decent condition with roughly $500 for a 2 year 
subscription.

The bummer is that the portal, with the bevy of servers and tools, will 
be nixed. I personally think this is a massive mistake. As a developer, 
I've found the portal to be an awesome resource. Looks like you'll still 
be able to develop with IP-restricted versions of server products after 
DevNet dies, but it was nice having the whole shebang in once nice spot.

Any idea why MACR would do this?

Re: Firefox Tabs

2005-01-04 Thread Alex Sherwood
IMHO, this is a bad design choice on behalf of Mozilla.

As a developer, you should be able to specify where link opens via 
JavaScript. If the use has the defaults set in the browser, then the JS 
code gets presedence. If they have window opening params explicitly set, 
the page opens where they'd like it to be.

This is how CSS works! Users can always override stylesheets in pages 
with browser settings.

It's a shame not to be able to spawn new tabs programmatically.

Get yourself an RSS feed reader and get the feed from www.fullasagoog.com.

Good collection of MACR-centric blogs there. MACR's MXNA aggregator

Is there a straight RSS feed for all blog entries on the MXNA aggregator?

I see there is an OPML feed for all entries, so how would one get an RSS

Is it possible to copy a directory and all its contents without using 
cfexecute?

I searched cflib.org but didn't find one that would copy a directory

I've thought about using java.util.zip to zip into a tempfile, then 
unzip into the destination directory but that seems like it might be 
overkill =)

Re: MX Methodologies (Mach2?? Fusebox??)

2004-11-30 Thread Alex Sherwood
Look, this is all very simple. The best frameworks/methodologies ranked 
in order are:

1) Mach-II
2) JSF-CF (Java Server Faces for CF)
3) CFOBJECKTS
4) FuseBox 4
5) FuseBox 3
6) MVC-QT (The most RAD environment for making MVC apps)


The new MX-XCEL framework and wireframing system should be out in a 0.9 
rev after the first of the year. It will set the development world on 
fire, as it is tied directly to the new event gateway functionality in 
Blackstone.

Please forgive me. I couldn't resist throwing a bunch of made up 
frameworks into the mix to fan the flames. The names are pretty good, 
though, no?!

As for the MX-XCEL, it's my own bastardization of Mach-II and an

Unfortunately, it removes much of the proper restrictions in Mach-II

framework iteself) that create the uniformity of the framework. I've 
chosen to overlook some of the better programming practices enforced 
by Mach-II  - all for the sake of convenience.

Maybe over the Christmas break [can I say Christmas, or do I need to say

Thanks for all the links and info you posted, it's all beginning to make a lot

Re: MX Methodologies (Mach2?? Fusebox??)

2004-11-29 Thread Alex Sherwood
But I though FuseBox 4 and FuseDoc files were supposed to make your apps 
faster, particularly because you put your queries in a file that ends 
with .QRY.

Not to mention putting your HTML in .DSP files..this will really 
start to heat up the compartmentalization factor in your application 
architecture.

CFPOP Attachmnents and Network drives

I've got an app on a Windows system that checks a POP email box and stores 
the attachments to disk.

I'm writing to a mapped Network Drive, but It wont seem to write to a 
Network Drive (The network drive is obviously mapped on the CF Server box). 
It works fine on local drive.

Has anyone figured out a workaround or solution?

Help w/ Dynamic Structure Creation

2000-11-14 Thread Alex Sherwood

I am trying to create a series of structures.

The name of each is contained in a list, and I want to concatenate the word 
"session." with the name to create a structure that resides in the SESSION 
scope. I have session variables enabled and verified its works with a 
regular CFSET for a session variable.

Here is the code that sets the variable:

cfscript

masterList = "sessionData,accountData,modifiedAccountData";
sessionData = "ID,IP,startTime,endTime,browser";
accountData = "firstName,lastName,address1,address2,city,state,zip,phone";

/cfscript

Here's the code that sets the struct names. Loop through MASTERLIST in the 
outerloop, then loop over the current index in the inner loop, setting the 
items in the list as keys in the struct:

cfset Loopvar = 1
cfloop list=#masterList# index="idx"

cfset var1 = idx
cfset session.var1 = StructNew()


cfloop list=#Evaluate(ListGetAt(Masterlist, LoopVar))# index="idx2"
cfset foo = StructInsert(session.var1, idx2, "", 1)
/cfloop
cfset LoopVar = LoopVar + 1

/cfloop



The inner loop seems to work just fine, adding the keys to the struct.
Can anyone offer a solution to successfully dynamically create the 
structure as a session variable with the name equal to the index of the 
outer loop?

Thanks!

Alex Sherwood

Alex,

The session scope is also a structure, so you can use the StructInsert on
the Session scope as well. You can also use the format:

CFSET Session[idx] = StructNew()

which is a little easier to read.

Thanks!

You know, I was staring right at the solution too. I was using 
CF_OBJECTDUMP to look at the session struct to see what was being added! I 
never though to add it to the session struct!

But, I still don't know the proper way to concatenate the word "session." 
and a variable name, and then use the resulting variable name as the name 
of a struct. It should work, but I haven't been able to get it to work 
properly.

Thanks for your help!
