RE: Adobe Nails ColdFusion Cofin
Can you say upgrade pricing ~Terry -Original Message- From: Dale Fraser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 8:13 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Adobe Nails ColdFusion Cofin What's the deal with people who think that you should be happy to pay more because there are new features. That makes no sense what so ever. If there were no new features, then you wouldn't need a new version. It's the quantity and quality of new features that makes people decide if they are even going to upgrade. The fact that it's an upgrade means they get your money again, so there is no need to get your money again + a premium for new features. If all the ColdFusion die hard's who go hide in a hole and don't speak up when something like this stupid pricing happens then these problems are never going to get addressed. People are too scared to say what they think and risk tainting their perfect CF image. I note that Ben Ray have had nothing to say about the increased pricing, in fact they just kinda did a soft release and hope that it would sweep under the carpet, and no one would notice. Very Poor!

RE: Jquery site
Well just to follow up on this. It turns out that when JQuery.com moved their new IP was within a large range of blocked IP address since Apr 2006. As of today they are resolving this (for Jquery anyway) and within a few days the ACLs on the routers should be fully updated and those on navy networks should be able to hit it again.

Printing Checks
Anyone printing checks through a CF app?? I want to print checks for payments.

If I go print on a separate machine with a different browser setup or printer, I get fields that are off. I would like it to work no matter where they print to or from.

RE: Printing Checks
I print the MICR line. Easy enough for that, the checks clear now without problem. My problem is portability so that checks print exactly the same from printer to printer without having to resetup the page. Insert paper on printer1 or 2 and print away. The only difference between a regular printer and a check printer really is the magnetic ink used to print the MICR line. My focus for this post is printing checks (or forms, or cards, etc) using Word, PDF or other templates so that it can be easily printed from any machine/printer - like you can do with certain cards, forms and all. Except that each check info is different including bank info. So on one page you will have Check 1, 2 and 3 with each having their own info. And that I can easily send data to the template via a CF request. I could do this with CSS/DIVs by creating a setup for each customer/location I support but I would prefer something more universally accepted. Thanks... ~Terry -Original Message- From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 8:20 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Printing Checks Which banking system are the checks for? the US banking system? do they have MICR lines on them ? If i recall, the US banks charge quite a lot of money if they have to encode the MICR line after the checks ahve been supplied to the customer. Australian and NZ banks wont do it it all. they supply the cheques already MICR encoded. MICR has very precise alignment tolerances, aligned to the right and bottom of the page, not the top left. TO produce a cheque suitable for processing through automatied MICR machines or OCR machines requires a great deal of precision that is usually only provided by a specially modified printer - the issue is the paper moveing through the printer. You cant' have any page twisting or moving horizontally in teh printer. the right edge of the cheque has to be wihtin a hundredth of an inch of its required place or the MICR readers get errors and the customer gets charges. If you want to know more i can point you at where i used to buy such printers modified HP printers.

RE: SES URL handling
Could you put an application.cfc that checked for 404, searched the incorrect spelled folder against the correct ones and redirected to the closest matching folder? -Original Message- From: Paul Vernon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2007 8:21 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: SES URL handling Hi Craig, I totally gave up on using CF managed SES url's a while back, although it might not be 100% useful for you, I'm using a windows mod_rewrite equivalent called Linkfreeze. http://www.helicontech.com/linkfreeze/ It dynamically re-writes all internal links in your source code as it delivers content via IIS, well worth checking out but there are many other tools to do the same thing. I wasn't asking about URL rewriting in the traditional sense, I was asking about how you handle typos in the URLs... Eg http://www.myserver.com/thisiscorrect/ --- this is ok http://www.myserver.com/thisiscorect/ --- this has a typo Personally, I'd want them both to work with the incorrect one being detected and corrected so that rather than serving the 404 handler, it redirects to the relevant content. This example is a naive one as it could be done with URL re-write but I want (and have developed) something more generic that could handle pretty much any old rubbish and have a good guess as what is should point at. I'm just not sure if there is a better way to do it. As for 404 handling, it's just as it would be on any normal site. So far it's a much simpler solution. So in your case, am I to understand that if someone entered the second URL in my example your server would simply serve the 404? If so then again, this is not what I am talking about. For me, the server should have a modicum of intelligence when it is looking at the URLs and be able to provide a closest match to the mistyped URL. This is especially useful when you consider the spelling of certain common words changes between countries that use the same language where maybe z is used instead of s. There are a few exceptions where the words are too far away from each other for this to work for instance, Fawcett and Tap, Wrench and Spanner, Fender and Wing, Hood and Bonnet but in these cases the standard URL rewrite stuff will work just fine It's the fuzzy logic cases I'm wondering about... As I said, my solution to this is in the 404 handler and uses the SQL DIFFERENCE function and a levenshtein distance algorithm to determine which content in the DB is the closest match to that which was typed. The DIFFERENCE function pulls out a subset of the links that are reasonably close matches and the levenshtein algorithm then picks the closest one. It seems to be effective, I was simply asking if anyone knows if there is a better solution? Paul ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.

RE: Client-side validation or Server-side Validation?
Easiest way is to have your initialization page have a scriptlocation=index.cfm?js=sure/script. now this can be done in as the entrance page and you can put a meta http-equiv=refresh content=4;url=index.cfm?js=hellno or it can be a inline frame or a popup. or you can do a ajax call back to the server. on the server side you would have something like cfparam name=session.gotJS default=0 and on the called pages by the above JS methods, you would have something setting to 1. but honestly if all you are doing is client side validation, who cares if they have JS on/off... (unless you are maximizing the optimization of bandwidth and don't event want to send the js code to the client) if they have it off, then it still gets caught on the server side which will throw the error and this will always good to happen just in case. if they have it on, js picks up automatically. ~Terry -Original Message- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2007 13:12 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Client-side validation or Server-side Validation? Sounds good, Ian... Maybe someone's heard of something like that. Use CF as the basis for validation, then if JS is on, generate some JS client-side validation code and use CF for server-side. If JS in not on, just use CF validation, both client- and server-side... Is there a fool-proof way to determine whether or not someone is using JS?

RE: Client-side validation or Server-side Validation?
You can setup your server-side to do both the ajax and the non-js submits. you create one validation method that gets called either way. ~Terry -Original Message- From: Josh Nathanson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 14:25 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Client-side validation or Server-side Validation? Why not just do both at once? You can't do both at once. Client and server each need an independent approach. The server must behave as if it is not at all dependent on what the client sends it. Thus you need to have CF code to handle validation on the server, and javascript to handle validation on the client (if desired). Even if you are doing ajax validations, you are still hitting the server, and your independent CF code must handle that server call. Also, if you are depending on an ajax call to validate, your non-javascripters will not make the ajax call and so not validate. -- Josh ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.

But then, you'd have to require javascript - so that's another vote in that direction No. My point was don't use AJAX to do server-side validation on stuff you can do solely in the client.

RE: Contract rates
It helps to know what salaried folks make in your area. Then add the value of benefits (401k, health care, paid time off, etc) plus overhead costs to the salary. You really have to do your homework on these. Then take that number and do the math to get what their hourly cost is to the company. And start there. ie. someone making $32 an hour is could really be costly $64 to the company. Now for me I knew it was easier. I knew what the hourly charge was when my company charged for my time. The range was $74-110 an hour. So what I ended up doing for my independent clients which are all small business owners and cant afford those big rates, I broke it down into service categories. $60 - Networking/Programming/Database Administration/Telephony/misc IT (the majority of my work) $40 - Basic Static Website Development/Graphics $35 - Hardware, Telephony and Network Physical Installation/Basic Software Maintenance $25 - Basic Static Website Maintenance Now I only do between $1k-$2k a month so this is by no means a full time gig for me and I don't go through anyone.

I have 2 days to get a fix together for this problem so any help is greatly appreciated. Here are the specifics: The website in question is heavily based upon user information. We designed a user component that is loaded in the session scope when the user logs in. This component contains all of the user's information as well as methods dealing with the user's information. In the site's main application.cfm, we are checking to verity that session.userdata is defined in order to access any page. If that variable is not defined, then we direct the user to a session timeout page that requires them to log back in. Our goal is to have the session timeout be set at 2 hours. We've made sure that, on the coldfusion server admin end, everything is setup to 2hrs. In the application.cfm page, we're setting the application up like this: cfapplication name=test sessionmanagement=yes sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,2,0,0)# setclientcookies=yes OK, so in theory this should be fine. Well, not so much. Most (like 90% or more) of our users DO NOT have any issues. They stay logged in for the 2 hours without any problems. In fact, we are unable to duplicate the problem but have confirmed that it's happening with some users. Every time the view a page the timer is reset and all is well. Well for quite a few users we are seeing that their sessions are timed out randomly, ranging from 3 minutes all the way to 117 minutes! It is very strange. The site is on a cluster (2 servers), so we assumed that the sticky is not working correctly. Proxy server stuff also has been considered. We've taken all of the steps necessary to eliminate both possibilities.we're now running on 1 server and making sure that no pages are cached by remote proxies. I've been researching how coldfusion manages sessions. We are gathering as much data as we can when the timeout occurs. From what we've found, the CFID, CFTOKEN, and JSESSIONID are all still valid cookies on the user side. For whatever reason the session scope variables are being wiped out randomly. There has been no pattern to this, it's completely random and the data collected is not pointing in any one direction. If you have any advice, please respond. I've spent a lot of time recently trying to chase down this problem and I'm getting very annoyed by it. I would sincerely appreciate any input. We are using CFMX 6.1.

RE: Session timeout problems
lol I still have colleagues who use sessions and occasionally I hear them complaining about a client timing out and loosing all their form data or edit session. Timeouts to a customer is one of the most frustrating things to deal with and it gives them a real good reason to leave. Just deployed an app using a provider that forces session timeouts at 20mins on the server. On my machine I have the this set at 2 hrs. So there was a problem. I couldnÂt get them to change the server so I ended up creating a javascript/refresh frame to determine their connection. So when the script determines the frame did not refresh properly it alerts the user that their connection to the server was interrupted. This also touches the session which keeps the session state active until they close their browser no matter the settings on the server. Just thought it was funny you mentioned that. -Original Message- From: Vince Collins (NHJobs.com) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 9:40 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Session timeout problems I'm sorry Jason that I can't solve your problem but I'd suggest you look into increasing your server memory possibly as well as looking at your CF Administrator settings. Also verify that you are locking the call to the session with cflock. I try to do this only once in the application.cfm file so there aren't multiple cflocks on every page that you reference it. Best of luck! I don't use sessions anymore... I had similar problems with sessions back in CF5.0 I figured it was either a server memory issue or a client proxy or browser brand/version issue. I decided to stick with session-level cookies and have never looked back since . They seem to always work. I set cookies with no timeout so they expire when they close their browser. I understand that sometimes for maybe security reasons you want to time them out in theory but is it really that much more secure? Two hour timeouts would mean that they can leave for lunch and come back and continue which kind of defeats the purpose of having a timeout to begin with doesn't it? Half-hour is better but still not something I'd consider secure. I might employ sessions on a banking application but I wouldn't like doing it because of my historical experience with sessions to date. I'd be interested in hearing other opinions on when is the best time to use a session versus a session-level cookie. I still have colleagues who use sessions and occasionally I hear them complaining about a client timing out and loosing all their form data or edit session. Timeouts to a customer is one of the most frustrating things to deal with and it gives them a real good reason to leave.

I might have more faith in them! :) Vince Jason Dunaway wrote: Terry, Yes, the users who are timing out still have valid cookies. We have built in some logging code that grabs as much information as possible from the users who are timed out prematurely, and every time they have values for the CFID, CFTOKEN, and JSESSIONID cookies. At this point, putting anything into the URL is not an option. The site is huge and this would require lots of changes to resolve a problem that only a fraction of the user base is experiencing. In addition, I believe that throwing the session info in the URL is much less secure. We've noted this as a worst case scenario solution but hope to find out a better way of fixing this problem.

RE: How to Random Pick records from a 10k record table via SQL
What they are saying is basically adding a column to your query that will be a random string (rand or newid shown) and then order by this column and you should have a list created that is quite random in nature. (though rand() doesn't appear to work that well) fast and straight forward and you don't have to worry about doing iterations and not selecting the same row. never had a need like this so I have been playing with it myself. interesting. -Original Message- From: Jeff Small [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 9:45 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: How to Random Pick records from a 10k record table via SQL Just selecte top 20 like russ said and order by rand() instead of newId() Correct me if I'm wrong, by all means, but selecting the top 20 from 10,000 records is about as far from random as you can be, isn't it? Won't you have to: 1. randomly select a record with some kind of rand() function of your choosing. (either your SQL or CF) 2. check to ensure that you haven't already selected that record 3. if duplicate entry, go back to 1 4. repeat until 20 records are selected 5. stop I mean, it's a little more complicated to *really* randomly select 20 records from 10,000, but it's certainly not hard with some kind of iteration over that process, right? ~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.

RE: OT: SQL Question
whats not being asked is how big is the dataset, what type of hardware, how do you know its running slow? compared to what? I mean if you have a million records on a Pentium 2 with 128m of ram, your going to have less then average response time. also are the CF server and DB server on the same LAN? I think the sql statement you have is just about as straight forward as you are going to get. how long does a straight SELECT * FROM F INNER JOIN M taking?? -Original Message- From: Kris Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 11:43 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: OT: SQL Question How about something like this: SELECT F.pid, F.acrostic, F.recid, F.recordthread, F.aed_onset, F.d_form FROM vfrm_sae F WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM v_sae_jna_mr WHERE recid=F.recordthread) Not sure it'll be much faster, but it's worth a try.
