Re: CF 'e-commerce' product catalogue
Jonah- I'm interested to check our your product when it's release. Is there a way to be notified? Andrew I don't know any free ones. We're about to release a new CF based ecommerce engine in the next few weeks though.

Re: CF Shopping carts
Jonah- Your cart looks great. You really need to come to market with it, because as mentioned, CF is severely lacking in this space. My company has focused on ecomm over he last couple of years, but unfortunately we haven't been able to use any CF products (we are a CF shop mostly), because they just aren't that good. Customer timelines prevented us from developing our own, so we've been implementing very large-scale Java products. I'd love to be able to offer a CF product to some of our smaller clients. And those who complain about a $200 price tag probably aren't servicing clients with many needs. The java product we've been implementing sells for an insane amount. Eric, Thanks for asking. It's as customizable as you want it to be really. Coming into your store.item view for example you get an Item bean. From there it's goes from simply #item.getName()# to pulling the arrays of properties (color/size/etc.) and iterating over them to create drop downs, or fancier html like this site for display. We typically start from a set of reference views and customize as much or as little as needed for the site design and products. Here's an example of a fairly different product view: http://www. happycanyonvineyard.com/event/wines/ Cheers, . jonah How customizable is the interface? @Kevin, I feel that this is one area that is completely overlooked in the CF world-- Especially since OO was introduced to CF in MX. So true. When I was looking for a ecommerce solution several years ago, I evaluated all the current offerings and joined the CFCommerce google group, etc. I wasn't finding anything remotely like what I needed, so wrote a solution. I'm now at the point of opening it up for others to use and am evaluating business model and licensing options. (Here's a live example: https://store.apolisactivism.com/) If you'd like to talk more here or offline let me know.

Re: CF Shopping carts
No...my client has been with them for a while. I used to host with them and they are pretty good as far as hosts go...it's just that he is on a shared server. I left when they tried to tack on a 20/site charge for CF7 when it came out. Eric, Take a look at this site: https://store.apolisactivism.com/ It's running a ecommerce engine I wrote - it's live on some other sites now and am just getting ready to roll it out publicly. Let me know if it might fit your needs. That list of restrictions your host puts on ColdFusion seems pretty harsh, is moving hosts a possibility?

Re: Signature Capture
I did this about 6-7 years ago using Flash. I grabbed one of the many drawing examples out there. I grabbed the coord's and saved them in a database. Worked pretty well for me. Has anyone come up with any good solutions that would let you embed a signature capture field in a form? This is for ColdFusion 8. The widget would appear at the bottom of a form contract and the hope would be that after the form was submitted it could be saved to a file on the server or made a part of a pdf. There is also talk of using something like this to draw basic diagrams to attach to a contact's record. Thanks for any ideas on this. - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Re: Deleting multi-value attributes with CFLDAP
Thanks M!ke! CFLDAP was tripping up on the commas in the value of my attributes parameter. You sent me down the right track, and I found that the separator parameter was defaulting to , which was matching the commas in my DN string. Did you try specifying the DELIMITER in your CFLDAP tag?

Deleting multi-value attributes with CFLDAP
I'm trying to delete a user from an Active Directory group using CFLDAP. The problem is that it seems you can't specify a name-value pair when the ModifyType parameter is set to delete.

Here's a snippet of what I need to do: dn = cn=MyGroup,ou=Groups,dc=CompanyA,dc=com action = modify modifyType = delete attributes = member=cn=Doe, John,ou=Users,dc=CompanyA,dc=com This will generate an LDAP Error Code 34 along with the ColdFusion error.

Re: mass emailing from CF
Why would you need to create all those cfschedules? Just have one schedule run and check for unsent mail. When your recordcount is down to zero, just delete the cfschedule. Or you can just let it run as there is minimal impact on checking a page that contains a query that doesn't return any records. ... As for deciding how many cfscchedules to make, that would be some pretty basic math. Something like this should do the trick... cfset totalEmails = 10001 / cfset emailsPerBatch = 1000 / cfset totalBatches = round(totalEmails / emailsPerBatch) / cfif totalEmails MOD emailsPerBatch neq 0 cfset totalBatches = totalBatches + 1 / /cfif Without testing... that SHOULD spit back 11 . or just add the stragglers to the last batch. ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:252054 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Re: Multiple http calls not working
That did it! You're the man Nathan. Thanks- Andrew Yes, cflooping around a cfhttp does cause problems. I believe this is a known problem, and may still be a problem in CFMX 6.1.

Re: Seaching for the coolest dhtml meu
Matt- I think you are incorrect about the license for SoThink.It clearly states for the $35 designer license: ...The menus generated by this SOFTWARE can be used with an unlimited number of web sites, provided they are developed solely by the licensed developers... The $1498 world license is to integrate the actual Software (which is the program that generates the menus) into your own program.But the menus you can use all day long on as many sites as you wish.And the $35 license even entitles you to load the program on a second computer.

I've been using ProtoFax for about 3 years and it works great.We send out a bunch of faxes every day and it's held up nicely.The best part is that it will take HTML and convert it to a fax.So you can basically just do a CFSaveContent around some HTML/CF code and save the file to the ProtoFax drop folder, and presto the file is fax offed.You have to add some header info in the file (fax number, subject) though.I have a custom tag that does all this if you're interested.

Re: Upload a file using Java in CF
Well, here's my situation.We have a sandbox for some developers who need cffile, but we (the admins) have a requirement to log all file activity.The solution is to create a custom tag that contains the cffile functionality plus contains a logging facility so we can track what they are doing.Now, it would be perfect if I could just wrap up cffile in my own custom tag, but the sandbox security still recognizes that cffile is be run and shuts us down.So I figured I would need to use Java.If anyone has any ideas on how to get cffile to run in a custom tag within a sandbox that has cffile disabled, I would appreciate them.CF 5 used to have an unrestricted tag folder, but it doesn't look like MX does.Oh well.

Upload a file using Java in CF
Sorry if this is a bit OT.I have a file upload form that posts to the code below.The code takes the uploaded file and writes it to the server.The only problem is that it only works with text files.It will write any file, but types like Word docs won't open.I'm pretty sure the problem is that I'm using the FileReader/FileWriter classes, which only work for character files.I think I should be using the InputStreamReader/InputStreamWriter classes, but I'm pretty clueless as to where to start. And just so I don't get accused of plagiarism, I modified this code from someones blog (I forget who though).

Can't rename a CF log file
I'm trying to create a daily archive of all my CF logs. All that I really need to do is rename the current log files and then let CF recreate them the next time it tries to write.I was trying to use CFFile to do this via a scheduled event, but it seems that CF locks the log file.I can't even manually rename them via windows explorer.Does anyone know of a way that I could unlock the file via CF so that I can rename it? Maybe something in Java could help? I'm running MX 6.1. Thanks- Andrew [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Re: Software Life Cycle Development Templates
Ian- If you don't mind reading a bit, I recommend two great books by Steve McConnell: 1)Rapid Development 2)Software Project Survival Guide He also has quite a bit of templates forms on his company's website.Of course they sell a package, but quite a bit is free for the taking. http://www.construx.com/cxone/basic/map.php Best Regards- Andrew I'm taking the opportunity to excel here at work and trying to bring some order to our web application development.For the last year we have been a team of two experienced CF developers, the previous year there was only one.Pretty much working ad hock on projects as they came along with little formal documentation.A single developer was pretty much completely responsible for each project.This has worked well enough for the mostly smallish projects we have done to date. Success has lead to more confidence by management and they are beginning to authorize more ambitious projects that will be beyond the scope of what a single developer can do in a reasonable amount of time. Cool stuff with 1+ man years of development. To accommodate these projects our team is expanding.We are adding 3 junior CF developers to the team. I believe we need to grow up and become more professional.Start applying a standard, formal software development process.Allowing multiple team members with different skill levels to work on these large projects. What I'm looking for are Software Life Cycle documentation templates, preferably free.When I've tried to Google for this stuff I only find examples that somebody wants to sell me (or even more costly entire consulting packages).I'm hoping some of you may have worked, or better yet managed, larger teams responsible for creating ColdFusion web applications and are willing and able to share some templates for Requirements, Design, Detailed Design type documentation or maybe know of a good resource where I might get these type of templates. Also any nice suggestions for basic information on web application project management would be most appreciated.I've had overviews of analysis and design in classes, read about why formal processes good in many places, but this will be the first time I've ever tried to be anything like a senior developer after some seven years of mostly solo and duet work. scary, Scary, SCARY thought on many levels.

CFProc vs CFQuery
I'm running into a weird error using CFProc and I'm clueless as to why it just stopped working.I started receiving Value can not be converted to requested type. error when running the CFProc tag.Nothing seemed to solve it until I called the same Stored Proc using CFQuery instead.I'm using MX 6.1 and SQL 2000.
Here's the stored proc
cfstoredproc procedure=pr_getApprover datasource=#g_DSN#
cfprocresult name=getApproverqry
cfprocparam cfsqltype=CF_SQL_INTEGER dbvarname=@WorkFlowEntryID value=7
cfprocparam cfsqltype=CF_SQL_INTEGER dbvarname=@RequestID value=1
cfprocparam cfsqltype=CF_SQL_INTEGER dbvarname=@ProgramID value=0
/cfstoredproc
and here's the CFQuery...
cfquery name=getApproverqry datasource=#DSN#
{call pr_getApprover(7,1,0)}
/cfquery
Seems to point to the JDBC driver and how CF calls procs using the CFProc tag.But I'm stumped...

RE: How to Handle timed out sessions?
I've implemented a JS based timer into our intranet. You shouldn't need
frames either. I define the variable session.StartTime to whatever my
Application timeout is. So the code below will fire a dialog box 2
minutes before a timeout. It works for me, although some users have
told me they never see it. Try it out and let me know...
cfif isDefined(session.StartTime)
script language=JavaScript!--
//-- Variable below defines how many seconds to wait.
var howManySeconds =
cfoutput#Replace(NumberFormat((session.StartTime-2) *
60),',','')#/cfoutput
//--This is the function that pauses, then calls our function below.
function pause() {
myTimer=setTimeout(whatToDo(),howManySeconds*1000)
}
//-- Let's notify the user their session is about to time-out.
function whatToDo() {
alert (Your session is about to time-out. Please save anything you
may be working on.)

How to handle the timed user's sessions without loosing the
data the user has entered??
One approach I'm probably going to try out in a site I'm
currently building is to have a 'session timer'. The idea
runs like this at the
moment:
- Build the site using two frames, a thin horizontal one
across the top or bottom, and the rest is the site itself.
- In the thin frame, have a JS counter counting the time down
from the current session timeout value (scripts like this
should be 2-a-penny on the web, if not piss easy to write).
- Have a button in there that refreshes just that frame,
resetting the counter and of course resetting the session
with a request to the server (but without affecting the main
site frame).
- Now say the user's been typing away without looking at the
timer. Maybe set it to flash on and off when it gets to the
last 20 seconds or so? Resurrect the BLINK tag? ;-)
- Anyway, if the counter reaches 0, either they've ignored
the countdown or they've gone to do something else. The
counter reaching zero could bring a JS alert that tells the
user to make sure they've copy/pasted stuff in the current
form outside their browser, cos the session's timed out and
next time they click on anything they'll be redirected to the
login page and lose all their stuff. A JS alert should ensure
they read the warning before doing anything else.
Seems like it should work nicely, but as I've said, I've not
got round to implementing it yet. I usually avoid frames like
the plague, but this will be for a CMS that's private anyway,
so the bookmarking problem doesn't apply. Plus, can't think
of another solution.
Let me know if you try it!

RE: How to Handle timed out sessions?
What if instead of calling a JS dialog, you call a pop-up page.

Your idea would probably work fine for the second problem, but I really can't think of a way to solve the first without frames.
