Close CFDocument window?

[Billy Cox]

Hello all,

I have a form that submits to an action page containing a CFDocument tag in
a new window. The action page sends the PDF output directly to a printer
using CFPrint, soI end up with a new blank window.

I have been trying *unsuccessfully* to close that new blank window
programmatically so that I don't have to train users to do it. Any ideas?

What I have tried is to set a javascript timer in the submitting page to
close the child window after x number of seconds. I have also tried using
cfthrow in the action page to catch a custom error that could then use
javascript to close the window.

btw, cfprint is a workaround to allow printing to a non-AirPrint device
from Safari on an iPad.


Thanks,
Billy Cox

I was able to register on RIAForge and submit my code, so in all likelihood
my previous attempts were user error.  :)

Hey Brad. I have tried more than once to contact Tom de Manincor through the
riaforge.com site, and the contact mechanism seemed to be broken. I tried
commenting on his blog as well, but it didn't get any indication that he
ever got my comments/questions.

btw, I saw you at the Great Mall last night. You looked busy though so I
didn't scream and wave.

Re: Salesforce CFC?

[Billy Cox]

For the benefit of anyone else who wants to use Salesforce.CFC with the
Salesforce API v.19...

There are only a handful of changes needed, the most consequential of which
are a couple of lines in the parseQueryXML function code. Salesforce API
v.19 returns XML a bit differently than version 11.1. I have tested the
Login, QueryObject and SaveObject functions and all of their child
functions.

I would be happy to share the updated cfc if you want to email me off-list.

Salesforce CFC?

[Billy Cox]

Has anyone found a way to use Salesforce.cfc (
http://salesforcecfc.riaforge.org/) with a more recent Salesforce web
services API? (17+) I have gotten through the bulk of a Salesforce
integration with the CFC mostly as-is, but now I'm running into a roadblock
because I want to access/update a Salesforce field that isn't recognized in
API version 11.1.

I greatly appreciate any insights on updating this CFC.


Thanks,
Billy Cox

I am presuming that a watermark doesn't have to use many colors. So, you

Re: Active Directory Question

[Billy Cox]

I seem to recall that you have to enable 'Integrated Windows 
authentication' for the applicable website in IIS.

I have an internal app in which the application.cfm checks the value of 
session.accessgranted and then either lets the user into the app or 
evaluates whether the user's Windows login is a member of an AD group 
called 'WorkOrder'. I use administrator credentials to run the query, 
but that's not best practices.

Re: Stung by HostMySite price increase?

[Billy Cox]

SQL Server Express isn't an option due to size limitations, although we 
may scale back from Standard edition to Workgroup. We chose Standard 
initially in order to take advantage of SSIS, but we haven't had the 
time to become proficient with SSIS and have moved our old DTS scheduled 
jobs to CF scheduled tasks.

Stung by HostMySite price increase?

[Billy Cox]

We recently got a note from HostMySite (now Hosting.com) telling us 
about a big price increase in SQL Server licensing. We've had a 
dedicated server with HMS for about a year and the mere thought of 
shopping for a new hosting provider makes me feel tired.

Has anyone else encountered this?

We have considered purchasing our own SQL Server licensing and I am 
wondering (predictably) whether a processor license is the only way to 
go for a web app database.

How hard is it to switch from SQL Server to MySQL?

Re: WSDL vs. ODBC

[Billy Cox]

Salesforce and Netsuite both have a web services API. I am trying to 
gauge impacts involved with switching from a system that uses ODBC to a 
cloud based system.  If a web service is faster and/or more reliable 
than ODBC, then that helps me to make a case for the cloud.

It would be in the context of syncing a local app server with a cloud

RE: CFDOCUMENT - output tabular data with table header at the top of each page

[Billy Cox]

"Fiddling with CFDOCUMENT continues. And I thought getting CSS to work cross
browser was hard enough J What rendering engine does cfdocument use
anyways?"

CFDocument uses iText.

"1.   Is it possible to output tabular data across multiple pages with
clean page breaks and table headers on each page?"

This is how I accomplished it:





   
 



   



  




"2.   I'm using my own custom headers and footers instead of
cfdocumentitem. Is it possible to obtain page numbers outside of

Why would you not use cfdocumentitem? I use custom headers/footers in the
example above and it works quite nicely...once I figured out the arcane way
that it operates.

RE: CFDOCUMENT, when 8.5 inches is not 8.5 inches

[Billy Cox]

I recently built an application that required precise control over print
output, so I feel your pain. It's like one has to trick CFDocument into
using stylesheets.

I looked at my styles and the only difference that might be signifcant is
that I explicitly set margin and padding to zero for my 'container' style.

margin: 0 0 0 0;
padding: 0 0 0 0;

The other difference that I noticed is in how your code includes styles.
Here is a snippet from the HTML header that I am using.

Hey Guys,

 

Everyone knows cfdocument and css don’t play very nice (and its a shame). So
I thought I would start with a clean  HTML page and some simple CSS using
‘in’ for all measurements. So I started off with a simple page that has a
single div that is supposed to be 8.5 inches x  11 inches. I set the size of
the div using CSS. When it renders in the PDF it does not stretch all the
way across and makes it maybe ¾ of the way across. How is that possible? My
code is below:

 

 





http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>

http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>







body

{

  margin:0in;

  padding:0in;

}

  

  

.mypage

{

  background: white;

  border:1px solid ##dbdbdb;

  height: 11in;

  width: 8.5in;

  position:absolute;

  overflow:hidden

}

  

.header

{

  font-family:arial;

  color:white;

  font-size:.18in;

  

}







 

  



  

  This is a test Page

  



  

   







 



  

 



   #page#

RE: Using iText with CFML for PDF forms

You might use iText if you wanted to use the most recent version. Also,
CFDocument obscures the complexity of iText and thus limits functionality

I would just use ColdFusion to produce the PDF.

This is a document rendered by the

ColdFusion may be using the iText library, but why install the java library
on a CF server that already has it.

Plus I'm sure using cfdocument is easier to use anyway, and ColdFusion has
adapted for the use of ColdFusion inside of it already. :)

I'm pretty sure the mid-line pagebreak issue has been discussed before if
you search the archives of this list and the Adobe forums. Remember that
cfdocument is a feature powered by an old version of iText, which is an
active open-source project that has its own mailing list.

With SQLServer (2000 I believe) if that matters, which it may well.

I have a data column that contains titles.  I desire the titles to be 
sorted alphabetically as a human would not a computer.  The records I'm 
currently concerned with start with a quote (") and need to start with a 
quote.  Ideally I would like the records sorted with these records 
placed in order by the first letter inside the quotes like a human 
librarian would not to the top of the list as a computer does it.  Since 
I'm wishing for this, it would be really cool if the sort also ignored 
the other human librarian no goes 'a', 'an' and 'the' that are supposed 
to be ignored at the beginning of titles when sorting.

Luckily this is a very minor requirement and can be ignored if there is 
not is not a simple solution out there, but I also can't believe I am 
the first programmer that needed to do this with database data, so maybe 
the functionality already exists.

CFChart multiple series

[Billy Cox]

I have a report that needs compare current year and previous year sales by
month in a clustered bar graph format. The peculiar thing about the chart as
coded right now is that March 2009 through December 2009 (which have no
sales data yet) display the February sales value instead of zero.
 
I have tried using  a cfchartdata with value = 0 for each of the future
months, but that messes up February. There must be something that I am not
understanding about how cfchartseries works.
 
Here is the code:
 
 
 
  
  
   
SELECT MonthBeginning, OrderCount, OrderTotal
FROM WebSalesData
WHERE Channel = '#c#'
AND YEAR(MonthBeginning) = #qry_selectyears.SelectYear#
AND OrderCount > 0
ORDER BY MonthBeginning

Hi Billy,

Are the two sites pointing to the same IP address or different ones? The
first thing you need to narrow down is whether the problem is a DNS issue, a
web server issue, or a thin client issue.  What type of server software are
the two sites on?  Are they assigned to specific IP addresses, or also using
the domain header included in the HTTP request?

(OT) - DNS misbehavior?

[Billy Cox]

I have an intranet server named 'report' that serves up an app to a
touchscreen thin client. Every now and then a user on the thin client will
put in the address for the intranet app, but get our public website instead.
I have them restart the thin client and then all is well. I'm assuming this
is a DNS issue, but I haven't been able to track down the root cause.
 
What would cause this and how do I fix it? I'm mainly a programmer so I'm
learning network admin as needed.
 
 
Thanks,
 
Billy Cox

Maybe they have to rebrand since Disney's latest non-Pixar movie is named

RE: Graduating to an ORM/DI

Subject: Graduating to an ORM/DI


Last year, whenever I started with OO and frameworks, everyone told me to
generate my objects and create them "manually" until I had a grasp on why
one needs an ORM and DI.

After a few months of "procedural OO", I started using Coldbox with
lightwire and definitely see the advantages there with DI. 

Are there any general pre-ORM concepts that I might have missed while hand
jamming my 5/1s, refactoring into 3/1s and 2/1s, implementing inheritance
and composition, and banging my head against the wall every time I decide to
change or add a property? Can I graduate to an ORM?

1 IP address, 2 websites

[Billy Cox]

I want to host two separate internal development websites (report1 and
report2) on one IP address. The problem is that when I go to http://report2,
I get the report1 site.
 
I have set up the two websites in IIS 6. Both websites are on port 80, which
according to what I have read should be okay since I am setting a distinct
host header for each site. I have set up report1 and report2 as hostnames on
my DNS server, both pointing at 192.168.0.55.
 
The CF server is Bluedragon (free) which has a one IP address limitation,
hence my desire to use one IP address. If I restart the Bluedragon service,
I can browse to report2, but then when I browse to report1, I get the
report2 site.
 
I haven't needed to do much network administration in the past, so this is
new to me.  What am I missing? Is there a better way to accomplish this
(separate ports maybe)?

How are you getting the keys that surround the letter?  Would you make a
list of the keys?

Becuase then you could do an array of lists so that each key had it's own
position in the arrray that contained the list of keys surrounding it, then
just loop the list and do a replace on it

A little time consuming to build the list I am sure, but that should work.

hello,

I use a form with a naming structure of "formName#ID#". The CF template ends
up making multiple forms which is why i thought the #id# part would be a
good idea, to allow for identifying which form i want to work on. The
problem is that when i try to refer to the form name in any CF template i
get error messages. for instance if i try 
I get an error referring to the #'s. Is there a better way to name forms
when you need each name to be unique and still be able to refer to it in CF?

It generally means that you tried to call an undefined variable. Why it

Beyond Captcha

[Billy Cox]

It might just be wishful thinking on my part, but I believe that Captcha
will soon be as rare (and just as appreciated) as those little icons saying
'this site optimized for IE 4.0'.

Does anyone want to speculate on what will replace/kill Captcha? (it can't
happen too soon) Does anyone love Captcha and hope that it is the better
mousetrap?

p.s. I posted this question to CF-community, but I got no responses since
they are embroiled in other more interesting topics right now...

RE: Error on site - "Error converting data type varchar to numeric"

[Billy Cox]

Are any of your columns numeric? I would think that CatID, UserID, and Price
should be numeric columns, but your query treats them as strings. My guess
would be that a price is getting submitted with non-numeric data. (dollar
sign, commas, letters?)

The line number in the error detail may not necessarily be the line that is
actually causing the error when it comes to a cfquery tag.

Here is my query:

Line 30 is the  #Trim(FORM.Description)# line in the query, but the

I've been using Crystal Reports viewed via the web for sometime. As I am
using an IIS server I've been using asp pages and it works great. I am using
a program called recrystallize (www.recrystallize.com) which is a wizard
that processes your rpt file and you need to provide the database connection
information, parameters and how you want the report to be displayed. Once
the process is completed it generates the ASP pages which you place on your
web server. I've been using it for years and it's a great tool.

Does anyone have experience with outputting Crystal Reports using

Blue Dragon error

[Billy Cox]

Until recently, Blue Dragon (free server & SQL 2005 Express) was working
fine, but now I get the following error when I attempt to open the BD
Administrator:
 
"System.ArgumentNullException: No message was deserialized prior to calling
the DispatchChannelSink. Parameter name: requestMsg at
System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.DispatchChannelSink.ProcessMessage(IServerC
hannelSinkStack sinkStack, IMessage requestMsg, ITransportHeaders
requestHeaders, Stream requestStream, IMessage& responseMsg,
ITransportHeaders& responseHeaders, Stream& responseStream) at
System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.BinaryServerFormatterSink.ProcessMessage(IS

ITransportHeaders& responseHeaders, Stream& responseStream) at
System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Http.HttpServerTransportSink.ServiceRequest
(Object state) at
System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.SocketHandler.ProcessRequestNow() "
 
I have recently installed the Altiris Deployment Console to manage thin
clients on the network from this server, so it's probably related. How can I
get these apps to play nice?
 
 
Thanks in advance,

RE: Developing software for touch screen?

[Billy Cox]

I ended up going with an HP thin client (XP embedded), Planar touchscreen
and a barcode scanner. I opted for the barcode scanner to facilitate system
identification because no special hardware is required to create barcoded ID
cards or rosters.

You probably won't want to use Windows CE then; I don't think it contains
nearly as much functionlity for remote management.

I'll second Flash for this sort of thing. I'm constantly surprised to find

I've only worked with consumer-grade fingerprint scanners, but if they're
representative of the state of the art, I'd avoid them in favor of card
readers.

Audio in factory environments can be very ... problematic. You will likely
have a very high ambient noise level.

RE: Developing software for touch screen?

[Billy Cox]

I'm looking at an off the shelf thin client. I am leaning toward HP, but
nothing is set in stone yet.

I am guessing that fingers are better than a stylus. My boss would be very
unhappy if he saw a user (hourly worker) hunting around for a lost stylus
instead of working. :)

Thanks for the input on Windows CE vs XPe. I think I'll keep my usability
options open and go with XPe.



Like Jerry said, there's nothing specific about touch screens, really. You
generally have to make buttons bigger if people are going to use their
fingers instead of a stylus, though.

As for what thin client you're going to use, do you plan to develop custom
hardware or are you looking for something off the shelf? You should probably
let the available hardware drive the answer to this. Windows CE and XP
embedded are both fine choices for custom hardware, and there are all sorts
of other OSs available for this. If you're actually building an application
with a relatively simple HTML interface, it won't really matter much what
you use here.

Beyond that, choices for advanced functionality (Flash, AJAX, etc) are
pretty limited with Windows CE, although there is FP7 for Windows CE.

Frankly, for either environment you might choose instead to build a
client-server app using .NET on the client and web services on the server.
Windows CE supports .NET Compact Framework. BlueDragon would be a nice fit
here, since presumably you could also use native .NET web services, which
are often more easily consumed by .NET clients.

RE: Developing software for touch screen?

[Billy Cox]

Are you looking for a standalone screen, or are you looking for a small form
factor PC attached to a regular touchscreen?

*** I am looking at a thin client setup. Leaning toward HP t5720 with a
regular touchscreen, wireless network (unless the plant manager wants to run
cable)



Most touchscreens today just function as a mouse, and are handled at the os
level. They are either bought with the screen, or are add on kits you can
handle yourselves. (You no longer need to inject silicon between the glass
panes, which was a _pain_. Especially with the 12" needle used to extract
air bubbles. And you no longer have to write your own device drivers, which
is _lovely_.)

*** Haha, those were the good ol' days. 


The main considerations for a standalone kiosk/touchscreen are diagnostics
and remote update and control, and making sure the interface is adapted for
touch interface (read large well-spaced buttons).

*** I'm new to the network admin side of things, so I'll be figuring out
remote management as I go. The big selling point for thin client is
manageability...we'll see.


We built many kiosks using old-school cbt software, and later Director, but
Flash and Firefox (in kiosk mode) handle it wonderfully now right out of the
box.

*** I had not considered Flash. I'll have to mull over whether I have the
time to get up to speed with Flash for this project.


What is the environment? Budget? User needs? Is it the only interface, or an
additional interface (keyboards, mice, movement or weight sensors)? What
about feedback? Screen only, or do you need sound as well?

*** The touchscreen will be in a warehouse and food (dry) manufacturing
environment. We have climate control, but otherwise it is a less than ideal
environment for computers. The interface will consist of the touchscreen,
keyboard and a fingerprint scanner or card swiper.

The ultimate aim of the system is to get better data for a plethora of
business calculations. (cost, employee performance, machine benchmarks, etc)
This is the main reason for having a touch screen in proximity to the
manufacturing areas. We have used after-the-fact reporting and it's very
sketchy at best.

I have not explored mounting options yet. The system will have to be close
enough to workflow to be convenient, but out of the way enough to not get
mauled by a forklift.

I want to have an onclick sound and maybe some kind of voice prompt, but I
have to figure out how and where to mount speakers.

RE: Datasource question

[Billy Cox]

This is the Pervasive formerly known as bTrieve. I am running the free
edition of BlueDragon Server, so JDBC is not an option.

Pervasive's ODBC driver seems to have a problem with transaction management
or locking when doing inserts/updates so I am hoping that I can find a way
around ODBC.

Depends on which Pervasive you are talking about. If you mean the one 
that started life as BTrieve I would try the linked server approach. If 
you mean the one that started life as PostgreSQL I would try to connect 
directly to it with a PostgreSQL JDBC driver (the product is only 
rebranded, not actually changed).

RE: Case Sensitivity

[Billy Cox]

As you point out, case sensitivity is important for data but that has
nothing to do with code. What programmer would assign the number of new
customers this year to the variable 'x' and then assign the number of all
customers to a variable named 'X'? There is no practical utility for the
system to enforce case sensitivity within the code or file system.

As for coding standards, I appreciate coding standards for readability and
ease of searching - but I must point out that a case sensitive system can
only enforce consistent coding standards - which can be consistently bad.

Subject: RE: Case Sensitivity


It used to be that the computer industry (CIS and CS) were as a science
program rather than the current zeitgeist of a business program.  In
science, as someone else studiously pointed out, whether a word was spelled
with uppercase letters, lowercase letters, or capitalized words, would
determine what that word actually meant, what the person was speaking about.

Lets take the name of our product here...
ColdFusion == "Middle tier programming language"
Cold Fusion == "Doctor Who novel"
cold fusion == "low energy nuclear reactions"

Same spelling, completely different meanings. 

Also, just because a language is Case-insensitive 'does not' mean that you
should treat it that way.  If the application your are editing was built
with a specific 'case plan' in mind. Eg.  local vars are lower case, session
vars are uppercase, functions are mixed case, etc. then you should follow
that same methodology.  This helps not only new programmers to the code to
understand and follow what you have done, but also helps YOU when you come
back to an application after 3 years and can't remember exactly how
something was written.

Also, SQL is a case-insensitive language (except when referring to the
content of a column, which can be very case-sensitive).  But databases can
vary.  So if you write your SQL as if the dB was case-sensitive, then an
upgrade, update, or complete change of the database won't effect the code
(much). 

Hope this helps

Very true.

If case sensitivity is not an asset to software development, then it is a
liability.

No no. I understand that they ARE different in the underlying ascii code.
But the point is, it simply presents confusion to people when a file name
can be spelled the exact same, but be two unique files. 

I had a discussion about programming with a co-worker this morning. We
decided that much of the programming behaviour for early languages (C, C++,
Java, etc) was based originally on hardware limitations. So, it could be
that the original UNIX systems HAD to force the differences, and so the code
was forced to be case sensitive.

Anyway, I find no use for case-sensitivity. It's only redeeming quality is
that it forces programmers to be consistent in the way their code is
written.

It's not my site, so I can only infer what is going on behind the scenes. I
gather that the podcast details are stored in a db so that the user can
retrieve them and regenerate an XML file at any time.

Nice site.

suggestions?

- The details of the podcast are stored in DB or directly in xml files?
- If the user must only upload files and the CF publisher Server is the same
of the Podcasting server, i should hide some information like URLs, file
Size, ecc... , is that right?
- Could i have my own extension for the files (example not mp3)?

RE: LOOPY LOOP LOOP

[Billy Cox]

Let's say that you had a query that lists every Starbucks in the USA and you
wanted to output the list grouped by state.

Your outer cfoutput would set a 'group' attribute by state and display the
state name. Your inner cfoutput would output the physical store location.
There are certainly other ways to do the same thing, but this one is the
elegant choice.

Subject: LOOPY LOOP LOOP


Here is a fun one that I somehow missed in the past...

We were looking at some code that appeared to be looping over itself and
tracked it down to an extraneous  clause inside the parent
 loop.
 
Here is a quick example:


#getItems.itemId#

 
Outputs the item id numbers as expected..
IE:
1
2
3
4

Now try this:
 
 #getItems.itemId#


The second version outputs a loop of the items in a loop of the records.. 
IE:
1234
234
34
4

Although this does make some sense, it seems strange that the second
cfoutput is indeed interacting with the parent cfoutput loop but not like
one might expect.

Of course the obvious solution is to avoid extraneous CFOUTPUTs, but I
thought it might be helpful to post in case anyone else encounters a similar
issue in the future. 

This behavior occurs in both CFMX 7 and CFMX 8 FWIW.

Nothing earth shattering here.. Just one of those nuances that makes you
feel a little crazy from time to time. ;)

For fun, can anyone come up with a scenario where this type of behavior is
actually DESIRED instead of both outputting the same results like might be
expected?

I'm building a small shopping cart for a client - seems quicker to go 
from scratch than try to wrestle something already built back into our 
specific needs. Although I've done a couple of these, I was just 
wondering...

What would the rest of you consider the optimal way to store items 
before checking out?

Session var with an array?
A temporary "holding database" for the items with just a UUID Session 
Var to keep up with the owner?

I'm leaning towards the array in a session var - but this is on a shared 
server and I've seen sessions time out unexpectedly before, which 
wouldn't be good ("where'd all my stuff go???").

Anybody else?

how would you determine it was the scanner or the user typing??

I'm strongly leaning toward using Blue Dragon. What is the eligibility
criteria for the free edition? The website seems to suggest that non-SSL use

The only tag I would miss with the free edition is cfdocument, but it's not
a deal breaker. 
Are there any other things that I am likely to miss in wandering outside of
the CF server green zone?

I've pretty much settled on SQL Server 2005 Express, although I will have to
use CF scheduled tasks for automation instead of DTS (SSIS).

I'll vote for this as well. I've got a client that's repurposed their "main"
application for a couple of very small state agency clients using a similar
setup. Their big version runs on a 2 member cluster of CF7/Win2k3 Web
Edition/Apache2 with a MSQQL2000Std/Win2k3Std db server all on medium-sized
configurations of Dell 1850 racks.

The small installation of the same software uses a Dell 740 rackmount (P4,
SATA RAID1) running Win2k3 Web/Apache2/MSSQL2005Express all on one box.
That's a glorified rackmounted desktop machine :) Cost for the box+os was
something like $1200 when purchased a few years ago.

As an aside, the only serious limits for MSSQL2005 Express are the 4gb per
database limit and potentially the 1 CPU limit (keeps the server cheap
though -- no need for dual proc since you can't use it directly, though the
2nd proc will help CF). And the best news is you can implement this on a
fairly vanilla desktop to get started assuming you can deal with the whole
data redundancy issue (a nightly backup may be good enough if you don't need
sophisticated RAID reliability).

Light-duty CF intranet server?

[Billy Cox]

My company is currently using a number of MS Access applications that we
have long ago outgrown. We already host our websites on a dedicated server
running CF7 and SQL Server 2000, so it makes sense to redevelop the Access
applications we need in CF7 and some flavor of SQL Server on a server inside
our firewall.
 
We have no more than 25 users and we aren't doing anything exotic, so I am
looking for a light duty configuration that will not be completely alien to
what we already have in place on the web server. 
 
There is no budget for this (yet), so I will be doing ROI calculations -
translation: I want to set the cost requirements as low as possible to start
with.
 
Does anyone have recommendations, advice, etc. as to what machine, web
server, SQL Server flavor, and CF server would be the best choice?
 
 
Thanks,
