Re: Cleaner way to retrieve a value from an XML node (XML-RPC)
Do you always know how many children will be returned for a specific node? If not you want to check this out. It will loop over children and you can work specifically with those items. http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1039-Ask-Ben-Iterating-Over-A-ColdFusion-XML-Document.htm Yes, but the number is different depending on the success or failure of the login. My instinct is to add logic to determine that success/failure first, then go find the node I need. Or, I'll see if I can use the technique in that blog to make it more compact. Thanks for pointing that out, Casey. (And thanks, Ben, for writing it). Cameron ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Cleaner way to retrieve a value from an XML node (XML-RPC)
Thank you, Dave. First, have you looked at this? http://support.journurl.com/users/admin/index.cfm?mode=articleentry=362 Great! I was searching for a component like that, and I never came across this one; just the two old ones that the author references. xmldoc child grandchildvalue1/grandchild /child child grandchildvalue2/grandchild /child /xmldoc I see. Going by the names of the nodes makes sense, and it's easier to read/manage. In that case, I've got this: cfset local.loginResponseSID = local.requestXMLObject.methodResponse.params.param.value.struct.member.value.string.xmlText / Is that the simplest/cleanest that this is going to get? Much appreciated. Cameron ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Cleaner way to retrieve a value from an XML node (XML-RPC)
Hi, folks. I'm retrieving an XML packet from an API that uses the XML-RPC standard (http://www.xmlrpc.com/spec). When I connect to the Login method of this API, I need to pull the session ID out of the packet. I can do that long-hand with this: cfset local.loginResponseSID = local.requestXMLObject.XMLRoot.XMLChildren[1].XMLChildren[1].XMLChildren[1].XMLChildren[1].XMLChildren[1].XMLChildren[2].XMLChildren[1].XMLText / But, there must be a cleaner way to do this, right? A note: the node that I am looking for is called string, BUT, if the login fails, there are multiple nodes called string in the response, so I can't do an XMLSearch for //string[.] and get just the one I need. FYI, the specific API that I am hitting is for iThenticate and the example is on page 16 of this PDF: https://ne.edgecastcdn.net/800404/static.ithenticate.com/static/build/media/e356a7e98a516945bba0af5293e8eb48cb_iThenticateAPIGuide.pdf) Any help to streamline this is much appreciated.

Re: using cffile and cfdirectory to create tinyURL-style aliases
Single quotes. Single quotes. (sigh) Thanks, Barney. The answer is that I needed the result to be consistent with what I've been doing manually for two years: creating directories and index.cfm files on the web server to get URLs like www.example.com/go/myURL. I wanted to create a quick add/edit/delete form so the marketing staff can manage these aliases themselves. Given the correct syntax, I knew this would work and it would produce the results I needed. That said, with this stable, I'll now look at a rewrite script to produce the same result. Before I dive in, can anyone point me to a good rewrite script that would give me: www.example.com/go/myURL Thanks for the info, and thanks for the 301 v 302 education. Cameron cfset fileOutput = 'cflocation url=#longURL# addtoken=false /' / One might ask why you're using directories and CFM files to accomplish this task. Every web server supports rewriting engines which would allow you to use a single script and a database to accomplish this task in a far more streamlined fashion. Further, you almost certainly want to be doing a 301 instead of a 302 to the long URL, which CFLOCATION doesn't provide. If you opt to continue down this route, probably want to use CFHEADER instead. cheers, barneyb On Thu, Mar 26, 2009 at 4:43 PM, Camer ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:321041 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Delete prior to an insert as a safeguard
Hello. I'm looking for some best practice advice with this one. In our membership database, we have a table where we assign membership to a community/group. A user can join or leave these groups on the web (simple checkbox form), or staff can add or remove group membership through the desktop client. By nature of the desktop client, there is the possibility of a data error, ex: populated fieldA and fieldB, but not fieldC. For the web application, upon submitting the form, I'm looping through a list of itemsToAdd and inserting those. In the event that there are bad records because of bad data entry from the desktop client, should I be deleting the to-be-inserted record before inserting? (Please forgive the ham-fisted, partial object orientation of invoking the component for each item.) So, if I call the insert method: cfloop list=#itemsToAdd# index=itemsToAddIndex cfinvoke component=components.myComponent method=insertMethod cfinvokeargument name=fieldA value=#itemsToAddIndex# / cfinvokeargument name=fieldB value=#form.fieldB# / cfinvokeargument name=fieldC value=#form.fieldC# / /cfinvoke /cfloop Should I be calling the delete method first? cfloop list=#itemsToAdd# index=itemsToAddIndex cfinvoke component=components.myComponent method=deleteMethod cfinvokeargument name=fieldA value=#itemsToAddIndex# / cfinvokeargument name=fieldB value=#form.fieldB# / cfinvokeargument name=fieldC value=#form.fieldC# / /cfinvoke cfinvoke component=components.communities method=insertCommunities cfinvokeargument name=fieldA value=#itemsToAddIndex# / cfinvokeargument name=fieldB value=#form.fieldB# / cfinvokeargument name=fieldC value=#form.fieldC# / /cfinvoke /cfloop I've never seen something like this, but it seems like an OK idea. Anyone have a better solution or suggestion? Please note that I have to keep to inserts and deletes; no updates. Thanks for the help.

Re: CFQUERYPARAM stripping characters..why?
I'm not sure of the specifics, but to troubleshoot, I'd test it by removing the CFQUERYPARAM and doing the insert. If it is still stripping the characters, it's not CFQUERYPARAM. It's either the form or the DB. Hope that helps, at least a little bit. Cameron I have this code... insert into tblRaters (mgrEmail, raterComments) values (cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar value=#arguments. mgremail#, cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar value=#arguments. ratingComments# ) When someone inputs into the ratingComments variable, extraneous characters like, (+ sign), the character gets stripped. So a Comment like, he's A+++ is written to the db like he's A. Can someone tell me a way around this? thanks!

Fusebox 4.1 setup for a multi-stage app
Hi, all. Here's a question about setting up the directory structure and core files using FB 4.1. I'm creating an app where a mix of users, judges, and adiministrators use different parts of the app during different parts of the year. Stage 1 - users register (Spring) Stage 2 - administrators match registrants to create teams (Summer) Stage 3 - user teams report in (Fall) Stage 4 - judges review reports (Winter) Some of those stages will have their own set of administrative functions, too, so they can clean up data, delete bad entries, create judges, etc. The directory structure will look something like this: Applications - MyApp - stage1 - admin - stage2 - stage3 - admin - stage4 - admin SO! My first big question is: should I use one set of FB core files in the MyApp directory, or should I put the FB core files in each of the stage directories, treating each stage as its own mini-app? If I go with one set of core files, I envision my URLs would look like this: MyApp/index.cfm?fuseaction=stage1.register MyApp/index.cfm?fuseaction=stage1.confirm MyApp/index.cfm?fuseaction=stage1.admin (how do I go one more level, such as stage1.admin.viewRegistration?) If I go with the multiple mini-app aproach, it would be: stage1/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.register stage1/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.confirm stage1/index.cfm?fuseaction=admin.viewRegistration stage1/index.cfm?fuseaction=admin.editRegistration Can someone comment on my approach and/or suggest some better ways to do this? I'm a one-person shop at my office, so I've got no one to help me to bounce ideas. Thank you, thank you.

Re: Fusebox 4.1 setup for a multi-stage app
Got it. Thanks, Brian. I didn't know how to reference those child folders. It appears that circuit aliases are my friends. Thanks for the help. Cameron I don't see any issue with having one set of core files, essentially making your different stages part of a single large application. To get at the second level of your app, (i.e. the admin area) just create a child circuit for the stage and you can reference it like MyApp/index.cfm?fuseaction=stage1child.register. Other than that the general approach sounds fine.

Looping over dynamic checkboxes
The scenario: I've got a self-posting form that validates against validateForm.cfm. If there are errors in the form, I declare an error message variable and put in some text: cfset errorMessage = There were errors in your submission. The purpose: If there are errors, I want the form to be populated with the form scope, instead of the query scope, so that the user doesn't have to retype everything. If there are no errors, use the query results: cfif isDefined(errorMessage) input type=Text name=userFirstName value=#form.userFirstName# cfelse input type=Text name=userFirstName value=#queryUser.userFirstName# /cfif The problem: I've got a set of dynamic checkboxes from the query getCheckboxes with the input name of checkboxList. Just like in the code above, I want to check the checkboxes with the form scope if there are errors. But, of all the ways I've tried, I can't get the checkboxes to check: cfloop query=getCheckboxes cfset local.currentCheckboxID = getCheckboxes.checkboxID / cfif isDefined(errorMessage) input name=checkboxList type=checkbox value=#getCheckboxes.checkboxID# cfloop ??? cfif ???

CFC forms and error handling
Hi, all. I've checked the forums for similar posts, but I've not found a clear answer. So, this may be a bit of a repeat. I've got a simple CFC consisting of four files: form.cfm, formAction.cfm, testCFC.cfc, show.cfm. In formAction.cfm, I wrap the cfinvoke in a cftry to catch any database errors: cftry cfinvoke component=testCFC method=insertRecord returnvariable=newRecordID argumentcollection=#form#/cfinvoke cflocation url=show.cfm?id=#newRecordID# addtoken=No / cfcatch type=Database ERROR! /cfcatch /cftry I purposely cause an error by trying to insert a string value into an integer field. Question: once I catch the error, how do I get the user back to the form and populate the form fields with what the user has already typed in? One post recommended putting all the form fields in the session scope, then populating the form with session variables. But, that seems very cumbersome.

filtering results based on url variables
Using a CFC, I've got a table of results from a getAllRecords method. I want to filter those results based on some variables that the user clicks on individually. So, in the getAllRecords method, my SELECT query will be: SELECT * FROM table WHERE value1 = #arguments.value1# cfif isDefined(arguments.value2) AND value2 = #arguments.value2#/cfif cfif isDefined(arguments.value3) AND value3 = #arguments.value3#/cfif (cfqeryparam eliminated for this post. Rest assured, I'm using it.) My question is, what's the most efficient way to collect and pass those three variables as a group? At first, I created a variable called URLVariables, and appended each variable as the user clicked each one. That was nice, in that the user could build up multiple filters with a few clicks. And, that saved time when adding new filters, in that I did not have to change each link on the page and add a new variable to a long list of varbiales joined by . However, that left me open to doubling-up on one variable, hence getting and illegal WHERE clause: WHERE value2 = A, B (value2 is an integer) There has to be a better way to do this. Any thoughts or experiences to speak of? Thanks, Cameron ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

cfif with AND and OR statements
I've got the following cfif statement in one of my header pages: cfif (isDefined(URL.ItemNumber) AND URL.ItemNumber NEQ 12345) OR (CGI.SCRIPT_NAME NEQ '/page.cfm') show table 1 cfelse show table 2 /cfif Here are my scenarios: - when the cfif is combined into one statement, it works correctly (meaning I see table 2) when browsing to /page.cfm. But it doesn't work when browsing to index.cfm?ItemNumber=12345 - if I split the statement into two cfif statements, I see table 2 on both /page.cfm and index.cfm?ItemNumber=12345 Any ideas why it's not working on index.cfm?ItemNumber=12345 when the statement is combined? Is something wrong with the cfif that I'm not seeing? Appreciate the help. - Cameron ~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:207652 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
RE: cfif with AND and OR statements
Mapping out the givens and the cases like that made me see the hole in the logic. I flipped the statement and it works in both cases: cfif CGI.SCRIPT_NAME EQ '/page.cfm' OR (isDefined(url.ItemNumber) AND url.ItemNumber EQ 12345) show table 2 cfelse show table 1 /cfif Issue resolved. Thanks for the help and for the new mode of thinking. - Cameron Your right it is and thus the true clause would run. Apparently it was too early in the morning for me to be doing Boolean logic. Corrected results below. . IF (A AND B) OR C . IF (F AND F) OR F . IF F OR F . FALSE Clause Run . . CASE 2 . url.itemNumber = 12345 . cgi.ScriptName = 'index.cfm' . . IF (A ND B) OR C . IF (T AND F) OR T . IF F OR T . TRUE Clause Run -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA C code. C code run. Run code run.
