Bug in CFFILE
I believe I've read on this list that there is a bug in CFFILE on CF 4.5.1? Is this correct? What is the nature of the bug? What specific versions including patch numbers are affected? Thanks in advance for you help. Benjamin Fitts Web Developer uclick, LLC www.uclick.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Get your favorite comics emailed daily for FREE!

RE: Big companies using CF
I've been following this thread on big companies using CF for awhile. Sure a lot of big companies use CF. But please think of the type of application they use CF for. Internal sites and extranets don't get a lot of traffic. Other questions you might want to ask instead of "Which Big Companies use CF" are: What do they use CF for? How much traffic does their site receive? daily, weekly, monthly. How much of that traffic is hitting dynamic CF generated pages? This is a much better benchmark for you to judge Cold Fusion on. A typical example is BMWUSA web site that was mentioned here earlier. I can guarantee you this site isn't getting hit nearly as much as VW's new film web site. Just because BMW is a big name doesn't mean it gets a lot of hits to it's web site. What is a lot of hits? 500,000 unique users a month? 5 million unique users a month? 5 million unique users a day?

RE: Application.cfm
Regarding Application variables. When my code wasn't properly written I thought custom tags couldn't read application variables but I figured out I was doing something wrong. Custom tags can read application variables; just scope the variable as application.variablename. You need to scope the variable BOTH in the application.cfm and the custom tag. In your application cfset application.variablename = "variable" In your custom tag #application.variablename# Scoping it as request.variablename is BAD! The request scope is set for each PAGE request and is not the same thing as application scope. Before I figured out my application scoping problem I set everything to request scope only to have to go back and change it later. This is a big performance issue if you run a big site. If your variables aren't available to your custom_tag I think you have another problem with your code that should be examined. Also remember to always try and scope your variables. Local variables are variables.scope application are application.scope session variables are session.scope etc. Benjamin Fitts Web Developer uClick [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Jason Egan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 04, 2000 3:19 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Application.cfm No, I don't believe so - custom tags - called by cf_ or cfmodule are run on a separate thread, so they aren't aware of application variables (like #dsn# for your datasource). The datasource is usually what I ran into trouble with, so I passed it as an attribute: cfmodule template="test.cfm" userid="10" dsn="#dsn#" Then attributes.userid and attributes.dsn would be available to me in my tag test.cfm. hope this helps. je -Original Message- From: Neil H. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 04, 2000 11:19 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Application.cfm Would application variables be available to a module (i.e. a template called by CFModule) ? And if they are how far up the tree will CF look for the application.cfm file? My problem is I set a variable called datasource equal to my DSN name. I attempt to reference #datasource# and even #application.datasource# in my module and it isn't available. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
