Re: Control Download File List
Hi Mark As far as I know, you'd need to do this use cfcontent/cfheader to deliver a file, that itself sits outside of the web root but still accessible to the CF server. If the file is within the web root, and someone has the url, CF (as far as i know) cant control access to it if the file-url is requested directly.

Re: Odd issue with DB "pausing"
If the cache filling up is the cause - the following should provide a useful look at whats feeling it up - SELECT total_worker_time/execution_count AS [Avg CPU Time], SUBSTRING(st.text, (qs.statement_start_offset/2)+1, ((CASE qs.statement_end_offset WHEN -1 THEN DATALENGTH(st.text) ELSE qs.statement_end_offset END - qs.statement_start_offset)/2) + 1) AS statement_text,qs.creation_time,last_execution_time,execution_count FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS qs CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) AS st ORDER BY qs.creation_time desc Your looking for the "same" query listed many times in the above's output - by "same" I mean queries that only differ by the values that would be parameterized... Your wanting to see as few rows as possible with execution_count = 1. According to my notes, on the system I had this happen, before adding cfqueryparam, the average(execution_count) was 1.2 - afterwards the average was in the thousands.

Re: Odd issue with DB "pausing"
Have you recently upgraded versions of MS-SQL? And/or recently had a significant increase in requests? In the system I was referring to, it had been running for 3 years without this being an issue - then we upgraded to SQL 2005 and had a request increase of about 25% - at this point we started having DB hangs about every other day. I don't know if it was the load increase or a change in execution plan handling by SQL... but the db hangs stopped as soon as we incorporated cfqueryparam.

Re: Odd issue with DB "pausing"
Do you have many queries (especially queries ran very often) that do not use cfqueryparam? Those symptoms remind me of system I worked in once where most of the queries were not using queryparam or any other form of binding - and as a result sql's query cache was filling up too often... though I'm sure many other things could be the culprit : ) What recovery model is your db using?

Re: IIS Question
You'd likely want to defined two iis sites, one for dev and one for prod. For each site, the home directory should be the respective code base for each, and you'd want to add a virtual directory pointing to cfide on each. The differing drives should be no problem.

Odd issue with Query
So this was a weird one... the error is resolved, but I was wondering if
anyone could explain what was causing my error.
I had a query that was timing out (its one of those nice long monster
queries - so I'm not pasting it in its entirety) - but when I copied/pasted
out of the cfcatch.sql (from error thrown on timeout) into SQL Query
Analyzer - or another template, it completed in under a second.
In the query there was a join that looked like this -
LEFT JOIN tableA on ColX
= ColY
= ColZ
Changing it to either of the following resolved the issue
Solution 1:
LEFT JOIN tableA on ColX
= ColY
= ColZ
Solution 2:
LEFT JOIN tableA on ColX = ColY
LEFT JOIN tableA on ColX = ColZ
So I'm assuming there was something going on related to the carriage return
following "ColX " - and in addition to the two solutions above, the process
of copy-pasting also must have resolved it.
If it makes any difference - I'm using SeeFusion for monitoring and so all
my datasources use:
JDBC URL:
jdbc:seefusion:jdbcwrapper:{jdbc:macromedia:sqlserver://server1:1433;
databaseName=dbname; SelectMethod=direct;
sendStringParametersAsUnicode=false; MaxPooledStatements=1000};
Driver Class: com.seefusion.Driver
Anyone have any idea on the root problem?
Thanks!

Re: SQL query question
This might be an issue I've had to deal with before. Do something to change the "fingerprint" (no idea what the correct term would be) of the query - or restart cf. By change the "fingerprint", it could be something as simple ad swapping p.* and pt.* (swapping as in their ordinal position in the select clause). In the past, what has happened is I'll have some query with at least one * in the select statement followed by one or more columns and I add a column to whatever I was selecting * from. If the query stays the same, it uses the same result-set template (again, im making up words - no idea what its really called) It doesn't know to check the underlying structure of the table. But the newly added column gets returned by the db - offsetting all the columns in the rest of the result set. So as crazy as it sounds - just change something in the sql, and give it a try. It doesn't have to actually change anything about what the query does - adding ,getdate() as helloworld will fix it - and then you can undo the change after one successful run. I assume this is something on CF's side - as restarting the CF service also fixes it.

Well, if you believe in the old adage of "you get what you pay for"... then "decent" and "cheap" are mutually exclusive :) That being said... since "decent" is a subjective term (altho I guess "cheap" is as well), a while back I hosted my blog at http://hostingatoz.com/. Their most expensive package (which includes ColdFusion 8) is $75 a year. When I was with them, it was... "decent". There were downtimes, but I sort of expected that going into a $75/yr host. I will say the downtimes weren't nearly as frequent as I expected, and the support was very good, at least in terms of responsiveness.

Re: Return boolean from a CFC query -- UPDATE: Solved
Well, it will return the actual recordcount... which is a number. But CF implicitly converts numeric values to boolean values. Any non-zero value is true, while any zero value is false. So given the following code: do something ... assuming myMethod returns a numeric value, your page will output "do something" as long as the value returned is not zero.

Re: Return boolean from a CFC query
Got a few questions about your CFC method... 1) where is the variable DSN coming from? 2) Should your WHERE be: WHERE profileID = #session.profile.profileID# ? (essentially the reverse of what you have) 3) consider using in your SQL when using dynamic values (yeah, I know... that's not a question) 4) along those same lines, you should var scope your query name. , and then run the cfquery. It may or may not be a big deal for this particular method... but in general, you want to var scope any variable used in a method. This ensures that the variable is bound to that method and that method only. 5) you're running the query, but returning true regardless of the result of the query. Should there perhaps be a conditional in there? 6) As Michael F. suggested, you might want to pass the profileID variable in as an argument to the method. It's generally considered to be bad practice to reference session (or any outside scope) from within a cfc method, as that breaks encapsulation (meaning the method should only know about itself... nothing about the 'outside world'... anything it needs to know should be sent in to it... think "black box"). 7) To see what the query is returning, you can always do a right after the and above the On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 10:47 AM, Adam Bourg wrote: > > Here's what I'm trying to do.

You can't lay the fault at Adobe's door... Sure, but PHP, Ruby and other languages don't have an up front cost associated with them. So yeah, nobody had to market those languages, but at the same time, those languages didn't have to overcome the objections of "why should I pay $x per server up front and then the costs of upgrades..." I think the CF community has done OK in creating tutorials and the like. Books, maybe not so much since version 6, but I think that's more due to publishers not being so interested in publishing ColdFusion books. Great free open source software? Yeah, we may be lacking in that area compared to other languages... but I think that price tag issue still comes into play there. You can set up a PHP server and grab wordpress and be up and running. If you want ColdFusion OSS, you still need to buy the ColdFusion license... so I don't know that the demand has been there enough to justify the effort. Don't get me wrong... you and I have had this conversation at CFUG meetings. There just doesn't seem to be as much enthusiasm in general within the CF community as there is in some other, younger communities. We've talked about some of the reasons why that might be (mature language, many users content to get by using what they know...), and that's unfortunate. But CF is, and likely always will be, a niche product. We'll never have the sheer numbers that PHP or Ruby do. So as enthusiastic as our army may ever be... we'll never have the numbers to go out and really make a significant impact on the programming community as a whole. We're just not big enough (and yeah, i know, that's what she said). So yes... I think there's some responsibility in the community to evangelize and help spread the word. But I do think we are perfectly justified in laying a good amount of the responsibility at Adobe's door. It's their product. They charge for it (the product, the support). I think they share a huge chunk of the responsibility in helping to spread the word, and I'd personally love to see them make more of an effort in that area. If Microsoft could show up as a sponsor at a CF conference, why doesn't Adobe show up at MS events? Or other non Adobe-specific events? Where's the advertising in the media targeting other developers? I see lots of it for Flex and AIR and "hey let's all go be Android developers and f*ck Apple". Don't see nearly that much time/energy/effort in saying, "hey let's all go be CF developers and f*ck Ruby or .NET or whomever else".

I think if you were looking at CF for the first time these days, you'd be looking at the features that were consistent with your skill set. If you were a beginner, you'd probably be pretty happy that CF can get you up and writing web applications pretty darn quickly. If you were more advanced, you'd probably be looking for stuff like, "are there frameworks?" (yes!), "does it do ORM?" (yes!), "can I write components in script?" (yes!)... CF is a very unique animal. As a beginner, you can get up and running very quickly. As a more experienced developer, you can take advantage of a number of powerful features. I don't think that beginners should be concerned with the frameworks, ORM, etc. Those features are there when and if that person needs them.

Yup. All function-local variables in a CFC should be var scoped. CF 9 did introduce the "local" scope inside of CFC methods, so doing this: is functionally equivalent to doing: So while there are now 2 ways to declare a variable as local to a given function (assuming you're on CF 9), the requirement still remains that you do need to scope these variables properly in order to avoid leakage. -- Charlie Griefer http://charlie.griefer.com/ I have failed as much as I have succeeded.

Re: (ot) jQuery question
You don't need the i or o arguments for the code I posted. They were
remnants from copying your original code.
>From the docs (http://api.jquery.com/each/):
.each( function(index, Element) )
so the first argument is the index. .each() is looping over an array
(the array of selected DOM elements), so for each iteration, 'i' (or
whatever argument you declare) would be the position in the array of
the current element.
The second argument is the element itself, which can optionally be
passed in. Not sure why I couldn't get it to work using "o" rather
than creating a new instance of $( this ) for each iteration... I'd
imagine passing the element in would be more performant, but probably
not enough of a difference to be noticeable.

Re: (ot) jQuery question
You're missing a # in your selector for #myTable.
Even with the #, couldn't get your code to run... but the following
seems to work:
$( document ).ready( function() {
var staffOrder = "";
$( '#myTable tr' ).each( function( i,o ) {
if ( staffOrder.length ) {
staffOrder += "," + $( this ).attr( 'class' );
} else {
staffOrder = $( this ).attr( 'class' );
}
});
alert('staffOrder = ' + staffOrder);

Re: Diagnosing DB / CF problem
I ran into a problem in the past where queries were getting hung - queries that usually executed all the time without issue (and queries that I could copy and paste into analyzer and run just fine). It turned out to be SQL running out of memory and not being able to compile an execution plan. The root cause was us not using cfqueryparam in our queries - making SQL not use its cache effectively. No idea if your problem is similar - but theres my two cents!

Re: Free ColdFusion Hosting
If this is just a project that you're working on for the sake of honing your skills, and it doesn't have to be publicly accessible, there's no reason you couldn't continue to work on it locally using the developer edition of CF. Free CF hosting is going to be hard to come by. Outside of the resource you mentioned, I can't think of any. There was one that Pablo Varando was running, but I'm not sure if it's still around. Even if it is, it was marketed as being for "development only", in which case... well, yeah... the developer edition of CF running locally works a treat.

Re: What is wrong with this loop update?
You say you're trying to update multiple rows... but your WHERE is stating, "WHERE project_id = #URL.projectID#". Since URL.projectID most likely isn't changing during the iteration of that loop, you'll only ever be updating one row 'x' number of times.

ColdFusion runs on the server. JavaScript runs on the client. By the time
the browser has rendered the page, ColdFusion has done its duty and is
probably hanging out smoking a cigarette or using the little application
server room.
You can output CF variables to JS just like you do to HTML...
var myName = "#myName# ";
... but it's not a two-way conversation (much like my conversations with my
wife). If you want them to talk to each other, you need to introduce AJAX
into the equation.
So short answer is, no... a JavaScript variable can't be used to manipulate
a ColdFusion variable (but the converse works a treat), without utilizing
AJAX.

OK you twisted my arm into indulging in another cup of coffee (mmm coffee). You're correct. It only "seemed to" work with the originally given values.

I output the listSorted()'d values, they looked to be sorted. So it seems to. As to whether or not it *really* works, I will admit that I hadn't had a full cup of coffee when testing. But I agree with you... I was more surprised that it seemed to have worked than I would have been had it not. FWIW, sorting by text did not work. Well, it worked as one might have expected it to (putting 3.6.10 and 3.6.1 next to each other), but not in the way that the OP was looking for it to work. -- Charlie Griefer http://charlie.griefer.com/ I have failed as much as I have succeeded.

Re: Output newest one item from each category
If your using MS SQL 2005 or newer, you could use the row_number() feature-
one query using a funciton:
with f(catg, nltitle, nldate, nth) as (
Select catg, nltitle, nldate, row_number() over (partition by catg order by
catg, nldate desc) as nth
from newsletters)
select * from f where nth = 1
or create a view:
Select catg, nltitle, nldate, row_number() over (partition by catg order by
catg, nldate desc) as nth
from newsletters
select * from view where nth = 1

Hey Andy:
I ran that past the previous developer and he said he thinks that could
work.
I'll run it past the client and see if they want to invest the time in me
identifying which fields would need the trigger, or if they'd rather just
move the site and be done with it :)
Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Need a west coast (US) based CF host
Nothing against Railo. My main project right now is a Railo site (altho
we're keeping it CF9 compatible) with a mySQL database. Works a treat.
I just don't know this other site well enough to be able to say, "yeah,
let's jump over to Railo and convert your MS SQL database to mySQL" :)
There's also a flex-based admin area and I'm not sure how well that would
work.
At this point in time... probably not something that the client would want
to undertake (all of the UAT that would be necessary to ensure that all
facets of the site still function properly). They're a small non-profit and
I don't think they have the manpower to even do that, nor do I think they'd
want to pay me to take that on.
Appreciate the feedback tho. I'd heard Alurium's name mentioned before.
Their prices do look appealing. Just not a good fit for this particular
client right now :\

Re: Need a west coast (US) based CF host
You'd think, right? :)
I haven't even looked at the code yet. Just came onto this project last
nite. But the previous developer is a friend and I trust what he says. He
wrote the current site, and he told me in no uncertain terms that the time
zone issue would not be even remotely easy to remedy via code.
I don't know why, exactly, but I trust what I've been told.
At some point I'm sure I'll dig into the code and find out. But for now, it
looks like moving hosts will be the path of least resistance.

Re: Need a west coast (US) based CF host
Hey Scott:
Hmm... not sure that the current site will run under Railo. Also, their
current database is SQL Server (I probably should have mentioned that).
Looks like Alurium is exclusively Railo/mySQL (?)
Thanks,
Charlie

Need a west coast (US) based CF host
Hey all...
I know this topic ("can somebody recommend a CF host") comes up
frequently... I hate to bring it up again, but I must :)
I have a client that needs to be on shared hosting (they don't have the
funds for VPS, unfortunately) on a server with the clock set to PST.
They're a company that's physically based in CA... recently moved hosts to
an east-coast based company, and now timestamps are off by 3 hours when they
add events.
According to the previous developer, they're using a calendaring system
(specifically, a particular version of a calendaring system) that isn't set
up to handle time zone differences. He's told me that trying to update the
code to handle this would "open a whole new can of worms".
I've explored the options, and the path of least resistance seems to be to
relocate the site to a server based on the west coast. Or at the very
least, a server whose clock is set to PST.
A quick google turned up Illuminated Hosting (
http://www.illuminatedhosting.com/), but I'm not familiar with them. Does
anybody know of this company? Or of any others that have servers set to
pacific time?
Thanks!
Charlie

Re: Extracting part of a string (part 2)
For that specific string, \$(\S+) seems to work. The \S is any character that is not a whitespace character, so it'd work for $400.01 as well. \$(\w+) should also return the same result.

I think CFUnited has the widest variety of content (from beginner to somewhat advanced), and it's certainly one of the biggest CF-based conferences (probably second only to MAX). Lots of networking and good times with friends. Based on what you've said, I'd look at cf.Objective(). It's a smaller conference with more advanced topics, and probably more that you'd find relevant. While conferences like NCDevCon may feature Flash/Flex etc, you shouldn't let that dissuade you. As long as there are enough sessions specific to what you want to learn, doesn't really matter how many other sessions there might be, or how "off-topic" they are. And as far as NCDevCon goes, you can't beat the price. IMO, regardless of which one you may choose to attend, it'll be worthwhile. Of the conferences that I've been fortunate enough to get to (CFUnited, cf.Objective(), and MAX), it's evident that the folks behind them make every effort to ensure that it's both a valuable and fun experience. - Charlie Griefer http://charlie.griefer.com/ I have failed as much as I have succeeded.

Re: CF Shopping carts
No, the fact that it's not elitist makes it not elitist. Dave's analogy about the auto mechanic and the tools was spot-on (as per usual). If you want to do a job, you're expected to have the tools to do the job. I also agree 100% with what many have said about this particular client. I've dealt with those toxic clients before, because like yourself, I couldn't afford to turn anybody away. I learned right quick that often, it's better (and more profitable) to -not- take on certain clients. I can virtually assure you that things with this particular client are not going to end well. Been there, done that. It's never ended well. I feel for your situation. We just made a move as well, and we're hurting from it. I'm also freelancing right now and I definitely feel the pressure to put food on our table. We're a single income family of 5, and it's definitely challenging at times. But the fact of the matter remains... it's not an elitist attitude to expect that somebody who wants to perform a particular job will have, or be able to obtain, the tools necessary. In all sincerity, I wish you the best of luck and hope things work out in the end. But sniping at folks who are only trying to offer assistance, even if you don't agree with their perspective, isn't going to get you out of the hole any faster. If anything, it'll only make it worse :\ On Tue, Jun 29, 2010 at 9:38 AM, Eric Roberts < ow...@threeravensconsulting.com> wrote: > > Actually, I dont want to do freelance work, but I am forced to do so.

Agreed with the previous responses. If it's at all an option, I'd normalize
the table and get rid of the comma-delimited lists.
If you can't do that, another route could be using a query or sub-query with
IN:
assuming variable "codes" is 'B01,E09,E20,G12,J07'...
first you'll want to qualify the list elements with single quotes:
// note that's a single quote
enclosed in double-quotes
SELECT
{ columns }
FROM
{ tablename }
WHERE
feature_code IN ( )
That, of course, assumes you can make two distinct queries (the first would
actually get the value assigned to the variable "codes"). You may be able
to massage it into a subquery and do it all in one swell foop. Something
like:
SELECT
{ columns }
FROM
{ tablename }
WHERE
feature_code IN ( SELECT feature_codes FROM listings WHERE { where
condition here } )

Re: Comma delimited list
In the long run - your best option is to create third table that will link listsings to multiple feature codes. This is true for many many reasons. If your looking for a quick solution that doesnt involve changing tables - you could use a sql split function (good ex. http://geekswithblogs.net/AngelEyes/archive/2007/04/12/111504.aspx), this will serve as a psuedo table for what i described above.

Re: cflock and cfloop question
How are #current_ListingID# and #currentow# getting set? My guess would be that within your loop over allimages, these are never being changed, so all these copies are to the same destination file... resulting in only the last file in the source directory being in the destination directory. Also, Im not sure what the second cffile-copy is trying to do, but I dont remember being able to copy a directory with cffile (not sure though) On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 4:23 PM, cfcom wrote: > > Am having some un predictable results with a loop. > My code is supposed to copy upload jpegs from a temp folder to the images > Folder.

Re: Retrive query cell value by key/value pair instead of row number?
When I've had to deal with the same situation previously, I usually created a "lookup" structure based on the column ill use as a handle - mystruct[value I want to ref by]=row index from query (this struct would get populated by looping over whole query) . This index then can be used to get at that row... I do seem to remember however that there's now a cfscript verion of cfquery (I don't remember if it supports query of querys). If that doesn't work, you could write a function that takes a colname, col value and query name, and perform a qoq- assuming the function will have access to the original query... Hope that helps!

Re: Bind / CFC Question
I haven't done much with binding, but can possibly offer some advice... Presumably, you have an existing method that returns a query with all of the columns from the table. You can go one of two routes that I can think of... 1) create a new method that only queries the table for the single column you're looking for. You can even get creative and pass in the column name as an argument so that you can return a specific column. 2) create a new remote method that calls your existing method (the one that returns all columns), and within that new method, do a QoQ (or if the query only returns a single record, you can do myQuery.columnName[1] and return that. The only drawback here is that you're still running a SELECT * when all you really need is one specific column. But if you're only returning a single record, the overhead shouldn't be noticeable.

Re: ColdFusion Builder Released!
I don't think the overall number of CF developers matters. CFBuilder isn't really aimed at -every- CF developer (I don't think... this, of course, is purely conjecture on my part). Not too long ago, Ben F. blogged that only a relatively small number of CF developers even use CFCs. Let's say it's 20% (i think that's actually higher than the % Ben had suggested). So 80% of CF developers are "5 taggers". They're not going to see the value in most of the features of CF Builder. So... I'd say the 2% might be pretty close to what they've actually targeted. And given that they may be targeting a very small percentage of their user base, it wouldn't make sense to price it too low. And since I got sucked back into the convo (I'm an asshole), I'll also say that I don't agree with the assertion that Adobe thinks CF Builder is worth $50. I'd argue that they're bundling it at a discount and considering the "loss" an investment in attempting to cross-promote between CF and Flex communities. If they convert 'x'% of Flex developers (who currently don't use CF on the server side) to CF, the short-term loss turns into a long term gain. (again, IMO).

A Flex developer out to upgrade to FlashBuilder -Standard- isn't going to go, "Oh... I can spend an extra $50 and buy ColdFusion Builder instead, which contains FlashBuilder." Sure :) But the FlexBuilder 3 Professional folks who are going to upgrade to FlashBuilder 4 are going to get ColdFusion Builder as part of that upgrade. They're the PHP developers, Java developers, etc to whom I was referring. -- Charlie Griefer http://charlie.griefer.com/ I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife.

But looking back at Macromedia, if memory serves, ColdFusion Studio (when it was an IDE and not a product suite) was not free. So OK, let's look at how Macromedia did it ;) Oh, and ColdFusion Studio was $495. 10 years later we have a better product (arguably... at least in its potential) and it costs $200 less. HomeSite/HomeSite+... also not free. I think those are better correlations than CF Report Builder. > Every ColdFusion license should come with 1 Builder License. > Hey don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be against this :) But I'm also not going to rail against Adobe because it doesn't. > Separate license that can be given out as promotional value to a new > developer who is interested in CFML.

I've downloaded trials that expired in 15 days, well before I even had the chance to give 'em a fair shake). That should be more than enough time to start loving it, telling their clients to use it, and then shelling out the $300 for it (-and- by virtue of doing so gaining exposure to FlashBuilder). Win/win. > They don't need to do that with their other languages, it's a given so the > fact that you need to purchase a development tool there is a given. > ColdFusion, not so much so. > This goes back to the ever-present debate about the cost of ColdFusion server versus the cost of other similar platforms. Yes, CF costs. PHP does not, ASP does not, etc. We make up for the cost via rapid application development and in the end, save a metric assload of money.

CFBuilder, which costs $299, comes with FlashBuilder standard. >From http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/buy/#cfb : "Additionally, easily create rich interfaces for your applications with a complimentary copy of Flash Builder 4 Standard included with ColdFusion Builder." So it's not $600 ish. It's $299 and you get both ColdFusion Builder and FlashBuilder. Which is pretty much saying, "Buy FlashBuilder and get CFBuilder for free" (or vice-versa). Much better deal than CFStudio for $500 :) -- Charlie Griefer http://charlie.griefer.com/ I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife.

For you, it might be the right thing to do, and as I've said (repeatedly), I understand that. This is the direction that Adobe's chosen to take. And while I get that it's not beneficial for everybody, I see where there is the potential for it to be beneficial by way of cross-promoting CF to Flex people and Flex to CF people. That, to me, doesn't seem like the "wrong thing". All I'm asking people to realize is that because it's not "right" for them does not make it wrong. There is no scenario under which it would be "right" for everybody. > It's the same reason why > many of us stopped using Dreamweaver.

I've heard that it's gotten better, but I've not had the opportunity to try it out lately. To you, the value of FlashBuilder is $0. I can't say, "I get that" any more than I already have. To others, there's value. Perhaps I've been wanting to try my hand at Flex, but wasn't prepared to shell out the $ for FlexBuilder/FlashBuilder. Now I've got a reason. There's some value. So again... no value to -you- specifically != no value. > Considering that as far as CF is > concerned, we are the marketing team since they can't seem to have the > drive > to market it themselves, making us happy is a good idea.

For years I'd have loved to have seen a CF ad in a trade magazine that promoted CF to developers of other languages. But do you not see the marketing effort here? Cross promoting FlashBuilder to CF developers, and CF to Flex developers (who may be PHP or Java or Ruby people)? There's value in that effort. It may not work, but I applaud the effort. People seem to keep coming back to, "Adobe needs to take care of us to grow the community". I don't get that. If they take care of us they keep the community content, but it doesn't grow. We're still going to push CF to clients and employers. You might stop doing so because you're upset about the fact that the CFBuilder pricing isn't catered to your needs... a handful of others might as well. But I'd venture to guess that it won't be a statistically significant amount of people. CF server is the product we use and love. A number of us will shell out the $300 for CFBuilder -and- FlashBuilder. A number of us will continue to use CFEclipse or TextMate or Coda or BBEdit or... I just don't think anybody's getting screwed here. If anything, people are getting something for nothing. If you don't want what they're offering for nothing, you're not getting screwed.
