RE: Cold Fusion Magazine? Any Good?

2001-04-20 Thread Belfiori, Ross

Jeff,

I ordered it when I started with CF and have definitely picked up useful
information.  Not so much from the examples but the ideas or articles put me
on the rite path to upgrade and enhance the functionality of the web that I
am working on.  I have done a lot of search through the archived issues that
helped.  I am definitely counting on it to help with CF5 when it comes out.

Subject: Cold Fusion Magazine? Any Good?


Hello cf-talk,

  I've seen the Cold Fusion magazine website "Cold Fusion Developers
  Journal" on the web.

  Is the magazine any good? I'm thinking of getting a subscription,
  but have never seen one. Fairly expensive magazine!

RE: Verity Question....

If you have two seperate directories, you may want to make them two spereate
collections and just search them both at the same time.

Subject: Verity Question


I have a verity search set up and working fine, the problem I'm having is I
have a group of files that reside outside the directory where the collection
is.  Is it possible (somehow) that when the results are pulled up to link
them outside the Collections directory.  The only thing I can think to do
would be to set the collection at a higher level and exclude everything but
the three directories that would be effected.   I also have search result
that I would like to link to an external web page...and I'm having no luck
with that either.  Any help would be appreciated.




Thanks
Adam

But, what if the secure data is not in a table, but documents.  Don't the
custom fields only work when indexing against a database?

error trapping

2001-02-27 Thread Belfiori, Ross

I am trapping errors from a CFSEARCH and need some ideas.  The search covers
both a database search and document search.  I assume that trapping for type
ANY is the only thing that I can do.but that is why I ask ya'll.  
*   Do you normally display a generic template when you trap an
errorinstead of displaying the CF error page?
*   Should I be trapping (cfthrow) any thing to stop people from
entering a search criteria that shouldn't be used (CF commands?special
characters?)
*   Can I parse out the errors from trap do help determine what the user
did and notify them of their mistake?
*   anything else?

thanx for your help

RE: Verity... again...

2001-02-21 Thread Belfiori, Ross

Well, there are actually a couple different ways to do this.  The first
question is are you going against a database collection or a collection of
files?  I specifically have been working against MANY collections of files.

One way of doing this is passing the collections and the original criteria
to another form and allowing the user to enter a new criteria to search for.
Append " and NEW_CRITERIA" together and do a new search.

Hi All!

I have a question about Verity, that has already probably been discussed
here,
so I apologize for redundancies...

I have been using Verity, and have been getting quite used to it.

I am wondering, how do I do a 2-deep search, a 'search within a search'?

As I understand it, it can be done with CF and Verity, but being the
goofball
newbie that I am, I can't figure it out.

You guys are all CF Gods to me!

Much appreciated.

Verity by date

Is it possible to search based on the date a file was created? 
Is it possible to display the date of a file?   If yes, can I sort on that
date?

I have users that want to search for documents that are new since a given
date...i.e. greater than 01/01/01.

Query Search results (nextpage) ... WDDX?

2001-01-31 Thread Belfiori, Ross

I have a search results page that displays a max of 100 records at a shot.
Sometimes the total results exceed several thousand records.  In an attempt
to speed up the 'next page' processing I no longer use the CFSEARCH using
startrow with the CFOUTPUT query using maxrows b/c of the processing time to
research all the indexes I have created.  I now do the CFSEARCH and use the
CFOUTPUT query using maxrow and startrow (which is calculated and passed)
the first time into the form.  I use WDDX to convert the results of the
search and pass it.  I am calling the same form over again and determine if
this is the first call or a call there after.  If it is not the first time,
I convert the query from WDDX and run CFOUTPUT query.

THE PROBLEM:  Sometimes, if there are a high number of result records, there
is a long processing time on the results page after the first time.  Is this
common with passing the results using WDDX or is there a better way to do
this type of next page processing for search results?  Also, when I process
'next page' more than once the BACK button on the browser is disabled and I
can not get back to the original 100 results.

a bit of code.FORM is SearchResult_test.cfm









some processing.

RE: Dumb Questions :: About Verity :: Intranets

2001-01-30 Thread Belfiori, Ross

You can set up a collection for each db table/app/information as well as
creating individual collections for a group of documents.  Then you can set
up a schedule to index these collections during off hours.  The search time
for smaller db collections (< 10,000 records) is acceptable.  I currently
have 50+ collections including 2 db tables.  Although finding information on
verity and collections can be cumbersome.

Subject: Dumb Questions :: About Verity :: Intranets


Hello All!
this is going to sound dumb.

My manager wants only one interface for our search form on our intranet.
right now i have tons of separate little DB apps that do the usual.
each one has its own search interface, to search its own DB.

i mentioned verity to him before i knew what it was, now he want's it in one
little tight search form.

correct me if i am wrong, but verity will only search text based doc's
exct.. not database's?

so how would *You* start to tie in 12-20 DB apps & all the normal text doc's
into one thing.
the problem i see is to keep the content relative to the pages it was
created for.

so how>? where to start?

thanks for your time...

That was double good business double speak.

What it sounds like to me is that the Cold Fusion server line will not be
affected by the merger.  It will continue to progress down the path it is
currently on independantly of the going on with the Macromedia server

In the past, Macromedia has made a point of NOT participating directly in
the application server business but rather to partner with leader's in the
space. Management is aware of this issue and pointed out that Allaire's
flagship product, ColdFusion, would be repositioned such that Allaire's CFML
technology would be maintained and that applications built with CFML will
run on top of application servers from other vendors.

cffile permissions

I am trying to display the copied file using cfcontent and delete it using
