Rant on ColdFusion 8 Report Builder... anyone used it?
It is nice to see Adobe taking development time to build up a FREE Report Building application for ColdFusion. I never used the CF 7 MX version of it but just tried the latest build to see if I can adapt it for some reporting I need to do. I also evaluated Crystal Reports 2008 just to measure up the two products. Since Crystal Reports is almost an industry standard and an independent product, I don't expect CF8 Report Builder to reach that level. I was just trying to find instruction on how to use it, but it is hard to find anything on the net. There are some articles floating around for the older MX 7 version of the builder. I found that I learned more doing the step by step process on the Crystal Report Evaluation guide then attempting the CREATE YOUR FIRST report instructions on the HELP of the application. Overall the application feels a bit rough (levels of undo limited, limited snapping on grid, preview takes over the whole application) but surprisingly powerful. I was looking for more documentation to perhaps unlock the full potential of the application but couldn't really find anything on it. I mean which one of Ben Fortaâs ColdFusion 8 book has more detailed information of this tool? What kind of resources is Adobe giving to make this application used? Or is it like HomeSite? I guess since it is FREE we shouldnât expect much. I do feel a bit sad on the developers who spend time making this application as it seems like only a very small percentage of users (even CF users) use it or even understand how to use it. Am I missing something here? ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:304856 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: CF 8.0.1 Update and CFMENU
Oh... a new issue:
One of the fixes to remove the upper border line of the VERITCAL CFMENU will
also remove the ability. Those dividing lines are
now gone if you remove the top border width from the CSS below.
This part has been modified in the YUI.CSS
..yuimenu ul {
list-style-type:none;
border:solid 1px #c4c4be;
border-width:1px 0 0 0;
margin:0;
padding:4px 0;
}
Just want to make sure the next update has these fixes done.
Thanks.

Re: CF 8.0.1 Update and CFMENU
This sucks. I would expect that they would have tested these new YUI updates
before releasing it as an official CF update. There was a decent amount of
changes done to the YUI.CSS (it is actually SMALLER then in the original
release) and I think someone at Adobe didn't fully test it.
For the mystery underline (even after modifying YUI.CSS.
This is the normal reference
I found it that it is the CFMENU's SELECTEDITEMCOLOR parameter which triggers
the extra CSS tag.
It will add this:
#hmenu .yuimenuitem a.selected
{background-color:#ff;text-decoration:underline;color:#fff;}
Too bad there is no parameter for text formating (the background color is based
on the selected item color). Add in MENUSTYLE = "text-decoration:none;" doesn't
do anything.
I am using IE6.
I think CFGRID also got modified (since EXT seems to be updated). Some of the
tutorials on the web on extending the CFGRID function won't work properly
anymore (e.g. drop down list).
GRRR. :(

Re: CF 8.0.1 Update and CFMENU
I am experiencing similar problems with the CF 8.0.1 update. When doing the update, it messed up a few of my CFMENUs (the thick upper menu bar, the active underline text, and messed up submenus). I think the YUI.CSS modification should fix some issues but... How did you solve the problem of the submenu indicator being rendered below the menu item? (in my case it was render ON the menu text) This kind of sucks because now I need to go through an almost released product to fix up changes caused by this update. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:304193 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Triggering Javascript within CFINPUT - DATEFIELD
Hi everyone, This might be a stupid question but I can't seem to trigger a javascript script (ColdFusion.navigate) within a CFINPUT TYPE="DATEFIELD". I have a TO and FROM dates fields and would like it to execute a Javascript ColdFusion.navigate command to refresh a section of the page once the TO or FROM fields are changed. I used OnChange but nothing happens. I used OnBlur but it only works if the mouse is over the field and leaves it. I used OnClick but it only works if someone clicks on the field (not after they click on the selected date).

It wasn't like it was a flag which was disabled. The CFM file was "compiled" and SAVED as disabled. There is NO WAY a normal user can enable it without going to the FCKEditor site and get the original Configuration file. > > We're you on the beta ?

The functions that wasn't really supported were removed from the FULL toolbar configuration. I was just disappointed by the sloppy way it was removed because doing some actions like creating a hyperlink (do they expect no one to do that?) will trigger options which weren't integrated properly. Anyways, I would hope they revisit it and clean it up on the next patch. They should do one of the following: a) FIX the file manager/upload function. I know it works because I am using it (though with the CFFM file manager). Of course, it could be set to disabled by default but make the configuration file non-compiled so people can actually configure the editor. b) Or TOTALLY disable it. Remove references to BROWSE SERVER and UPLOAD FILE from the program so that users can't accidentally access it. It will be hard to explain to the higher ups why certain features are there but were disabled.

Re: CFDOCUMENT... a black box?
I added in the tag around the whole text but it doesn't seem to do anything. Basically the black box does one of the following: - Squeeze the text so it actually overlaps itself - Add in spaces vistually (almost like justified) but it doesn't actually add anything when I cut and paste. More clues. I find that on some pages, it spills over horizontally (meaning adding new pages to continue the text while messing up the presentation). Other times, it does the word wrap to fit in a page. Sometimes it will cut off text at the bottom margin. Other times it works fine.

CFDOCUMENT... a black box?
Basically what I did is I am using the CFEXCHANGE tag to strip out E-mail from the exchange server, store it into a database and can use CFDOCUMENT to make PDF files out of them. The tricky part is not everyone formats their E-mail the same way. The problem is, even though it appears properly in HTML... CFDOCUMENT layout changes from one E-mail to another. Some text will squeeze together in appearance and most importantly printing (if you cut and paste through notepad, the space is still there). So what looks properly if printed directly from Outlook... format looks I tried various tips online from changing margins, scale... but it might work for some but not all the layouts. All I want is just so it looks the same as the HTML I see on the non-PDF page. Stuff I tried: - Basic wrapping CFDOCUMENT around the content I want to display - Wrapping the whole content that I want to display in and then put the CFDOCUMENT around a CFOUTPUT of the CFCONTENT.

Re: <cftextarea richtext="true"> question
Where is this ScriptSrc doc? I think Adobe did a POOR job integrating FCKEditor. Besides basic mapping of the CFINPUT tag, all they did is "hide" (and poorly) features which they didn't want to support for it (specifically file and image management). Yes, the default connector is currently set to be ASP. When I told management that CF8 has WYSIWYG HTML Editor, they expect something decent. Of course besides basic text editing, they want something which allows for image upload too. Adobe didn't even bother modifying the other menu options which triggers the BROWSE SERVER or UPLOAD FILE/IMAGE buttons. If anyone clicks on those, it will cause an error. All you need to do is either create a hyperlink and right click on it (non-source) within the editor, it will pull up the "hidden" options. All that Adobe did is disable the upload/file manager feature with a flag and "encrypt" the CFM file so that people can't enable it. I was able to go to FCKEditor site and get the files needed to get the file connectors working. Go get the config and upload file and over write the one that is there now. You will then be able to edit it. If you want, get the CFFM file manager to make it work even better. Now people say go use something else... WHY? Isn't this a FEATURE of CF8? During a presentation of CF8 from Adobe, I asked the question and even BEN FORTA himself said the image/file upload is there (which is true but the amount of work to get it working isn't right). Maybe if you are currently using CF7 which you already integrated a WYSIWYG editor, it's no big deal... but right now I am working on a new site with CF8 and would like to maximize the use of the platform we purchased.

CFMENU with submenus dynamically created
OK.. I don't know if it is some sort of brainblock or just me. I am trying to create a loop which will dynamically create a menu with submenu (if needed). To make it easier, there is only 1 level for submenu which is just a flag in the DB. There MAY or MAY NOT be any submenus in a menu.

FCKEditor Revisited
I am able to enable the "file manager" / "image uploading" fuctions of FCKEditor within CF8. Adobe "encrypted" the config files for both the file manager and image uploading to be DISABLED. So by going to the main FCKEditor's site and downloading the current version, you can get those missing files and replace the ones Adobe "locked out". Now the reason that I heard is that it was disabled in the first place is that the FCKEditor file manager isn't too good (which I can agree) and there is a potential security problem which can happen if you do this... what is the security problem? Besides seeing a bit of the directory structure of the site and overwriting image files that other people may have placed, I can't see what other security issue that might be present. My current project is an internal project (intranet) which means less chance of internal people trying to hack it. Is it safe to use the inbuilt features? ~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:288429 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Re: UI recommendations needed
Basically for me I openned up a CFWINDOW with the following code (simplified a lot): The iframe_upload.cfm page will have the UPLOAD code and the UUID will help the uploads be associated to the original form. I think Dan has an idea of using an IFRAME be the target for a form so my example might not be exactly what he meant. However using IFRAME will allow you to UPLOAD content within the AJAX UI layout. For me, the uploads will be saved in a temp directory (which will be cleared regularly) and will only be transferred to the final location once the main form is saved. Hope this helps. >Andy, > >Can you share the code you used for the iframe? > >Thanks ~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:287800 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Re: CFIMAGE Text Length
I used CFIMAGE to dyanmically create title bars and I don't think there is an automated way using the ImageDrawText function. Tere is no parameter for position besides the x,y coordinates. You would probably have to do some math in figuring out how big each character is and how to get it centered or right justified. What I did is Left align the text and made sure there is enough room for the number of characters I need. >Working with CFIMAGE. > > > >I can't find a way of getting the length of text that you want to render on >an image. > > > >Without this ability how would you centre or right align a bit of text. >Surely this function must exist, am I missing something. > > > >Regards > >Dale Fraser > > > >http://dalefraser.blogspot.com ~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:287700 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Hi Steve, I am using CFLAYOUT (AJAX) for the administration pages to help so a lot of information on a screen and making it easier to work with content. I don't use it for the front end since I want it to be "lighter". Anyways, I am experiencing the same problem with you. You CAN'T as far as I know, upload any files within the CFLAYOUT tag. It keeps complaining about the form encoding format (even when I tried multiple ways to get around it). I had to make a special page to do the file uploading.

Mimicking .NET session state
Hi, Basically here's the situation. There is already a ASP.NET web application developed which let's say is untouchable since it is predeveloped, being used and has certain module attached. Otherwise I would create a CF version of the app. I would like to use some of it's functionality for my project. I am using CFHTTP to access the form part of the application. I copied the form fields and the various VIEWSTATES, EVENTSTATES used for the CFHTTP to mimic the user. The .NET datagrid presentation works well (sorting, next page, etc) however the part which I have problem is when it accesses the .NET session to display the detail information of the datagrid cell. Supposedly the session information ID is stored in as a cookie (ASP.NET_SessionId) and when I pass the cookie information back to the .NET datagrid, it stopped sending the Set-Cookie request. I am using an IE cookie viewer to see what is being passed but I don't see the ASP.NET_SessionId information being stored as a cookie. Is it some weird variable which can't be seen in IE? Is there other hidden variables controling .NET sessions. This is driving me bonkers. Any pointers or where to go to find more information would be appreciated.

Re: CF8 - Getting image upload to work with the Rich Text Editor (FCKEditor)
Actually I don't care about the file manager too much (thanks for pointing me to Rick Root's filemanger). I just want the user to have ability to upload images to include with their text document. I can hard code the path if needed to however currently the integration with FCKEditor is pretty bad with CF8. Just for example, the FCKEditor "hyperlink" icon will allow the user to "browse server". You click on that and you instantly get an error (JRUN Servlet Error). I will have to hide those icons since they might cause users to access functions which has been "disabled". It looks like I might have to modify the actual FCKEditor to allow for some sort of basic image uploading functions however if those source code has been "secured", wouldn't that defeat the purpose of having it integrated with CF8 in the first place? >He told you that the file upload/manager was enabled?

Yeah... he said something about it being disabled "due to security" but the feature is there to be enabled. The problem is "how to enable it". The FCKEditor is already built into CF8 (or rather integrated into CF8). I would hate to mess up the integration. It would be like having a 3rd party create a module which you know support certain functions which are "disabled due to security". Now I have to recreate those functions or get another module? :S >He told us in Nashville that "certain features of the editor will be >closed off due to security reasons" - at least that was my best >recollection. > >I would say just run fckEditor yourself... it really isn't hard to get >going at all and it will be open for you to use the full API and to >upgrade on your on terms. > >I think it is cool to have the editor as an option but just like >CFForms if you really want to get fancy you have to write your own. > >J.J. > > >> ~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:286077 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
CF8 - Getting image upload to work with the Rich Text Editor (FCKEditor)
Hi everyone, I don't know how many attended the Adobe's Amazing new features in ColdFusion 8 online presenation where Ben Forta was helping out answering questions. I asked Ben if the file/image upload works on the FCKEditor included with CF8. He said yes. The person who did the presentation also talked about the image upload for the Rich Text Editor also. Of course, there is no mention on how to activate the feature of the editor in the docs (CFML Reference or Dev guide). So how can I get it to work? The instructions on the FCKEditor's site isn't exactly the same as the one with CF8 since the integration method is different. Maybe it is something Ben knows for his upcoming book which isn't disclosed yet? ;-) ~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:286074 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Steve,
You are da man! Never head of Firebug but I will give it a shot. I am pretty
much developing for IE so I never thought about installing Firefox.
Thanks,

Re: How would I go by doing this?
Steve, that is it. Similar to what I want to do but something is weird. I still
get the Javascript: Object Expected error. This means I did something stupid
like typed something wrong however I don't see it, and I simplified it a lot
already. This test is just to copy what is typed in the Window onto the main
form.

Re: How would I go by doing this?
Thanks you for the Javascript. That will work with a whole new Window - childWindow=open(file,window,'resizable=no,width=200,height=400') and not with the CFWindow tag. Using the script with CFWindow, I will get a Javascript (Object expected) error (tried it with parent and opener). I think it has to be controlled through AJAX. I tried the ColdFusion.getElementValue but it has to be within the same form (since it doesn't have a container parameter).

How would I go by doing this?
Here's a situation: Basically there is a form (CFFORM) which there are various fields. One of the field would be a basic CFINPUT text field where an image ID can be entered. The user will be able to click on a button to preview available images (CFWINDOW). Whatever image they select in the Window (via radio button or drop down), it will populate the main form with the value. I can't figure out how to pass a variable from the Window back to the parent form. To use some of the UI features, the Window will need to have a CFFORM also. I tried binding but it would only work if it is in the same form (or section). Most commands support FORMNAME.FORMFIELD naming to apply a function but is there a WINDOW.FORMNAME.FORMFIELD naming scheme? I tried looking at the CF 8 Developer Guide and CF 8 CFML Refence guide for pointers but I can't seem to find out what to use. It seem pretty straight forward so I figure I must be missing something obvious... please help.

Help with CFNavigate
I am going to try it here since no one from the Adobe support forum knew... Now maybe I am doing it wrong but with CFNavigate, it has the parameter for a "container" to refresh. What if I want the whole page to refresh with the form fields passed into it? Based on the CFML Reference Guide (pg 127) all I have to do is... "If you omit this argument, the link is treated as a normal URL and the entire page is refreshed." So here's the basic thing I am trying to do... use CFLAYOUTAREA which has a form in it and I have a link which should pass the form variables from myform to the test_submit.cfm page. Here's the basic code I am using: Submit it If I leave the container field out of it... (no quotes), I get: Syntax Error. If I enter a '' (no space), I get: Error replacing HTML, element not found. If I enter a ' ' (with a space), I get the same error as above: Error replacing HTML, element not found. Am I using it wrong? is there a _root or something I need to put in the container field for it to work?
