Re: CF form in dreamweaver

2002-06-12 Thread Chris Giminez

It's something I use frequently. I don't have the time to figure out how to re-write 
dreamweaver and
shouldn't have to. I think it's a big hole in the product.

  After reading some of the DWMX docs, it doesn't appear that this toolbar
  is offered. Maybe someone out there can write an extension to add it??

 No, it's not there, but you can customize it pretty easily, just edit:

 Dreamweaver MX\Configuration\Objects\insertbar.xml

 I don't plan to do an extension right now because I don't use cfform, sorry

Re: CF form in dreamweaver

2002-06-11 Thread Chris Giminez

No replies to this... I can't imagine I am the only one to go from CF Studio to DWMX 
and have this
problem. Nobody else has the problem or nobody knows the solution? anyone?


 When editing a cfm file in DWMX I have the tool groups of CFML Basic, CFML Flow, 
CFML Advanced and
 Application.
 How can I get the CF Form tool group as it exists in Cold Fusion Studio?

 TIA.

Re: extracting data from a huge text file

2002-01-25 Thread Chris Giminez

the format of the text file is not very consistent. It's a comma delimited list, but 
the last field
is itself a comma delimited list and fields 8 and 9 contain one double quote instead 
of a pair like
every other field. It's very strange and I can't get the writers of this text file to 
explain their
logic or change it so far.
I don't think an automated solution will work for these reason, so I am parsing each 
line piece by
piece and saving as individual variables.





 Another option..  Why not open it as an ODBC data source, and let the
 ODBC
 drivers worry about the size of the file?  We recently did something
 like
 this with VB for a text file, only a few lines/records though.  But it
 should still work well with larger files.

Re: CFSchedule

2002-01-25 Thread Chris Giminez

Nothing too difficult about CF schedule, just point it to a page that runs normally.
I see your url is under /admin.  If you have security built in to application.cfm of 
that directory,
you won't be able to get in with your scheduled tag as far as I know.
I had to do something like this with cfschedule, so I made another directory under 
admin, call it
schedule and only would run the template with a password in the url variable, so 
your scheduled
tag url might look like this.
http://www.mydomain.com/admin/email/scheduler/test_email_process.cfm?accesscode=OIEiorJD833Ksjd
Nothing is output in the template, so great security is not really necessary.
Just run your report output within cfmail tags.
Also keep in mind it won't work in https mode.

Chris



 Any good tutorials on this subject - all I've seen in numerous books is
 examples of running reports at determined intervals.  What I want to do is
 run a template which contains a query and then outputs the results to
 CFMAIL.  Can I do this using CFSchedule, or is there a better way?

 Here's what I have now, and it won't work (I'm on a shared server with no
 access to the CF Admin functions):

 Any assistance or suggestions is/are appreciated.

 Thanks,
 Mark

 How does it accomplish this when you want to loop over the contents of

Check your log files. We had one CF log file that was about 200MB and the installation

Re: Is CF still relevant?

2001-04-21 Thread Chris Giminez

I have only dabbled in other programming languages, but from what I can see, CF does 
most everything
the others do, but does it easier.

The high cost keeps it from being as popular as ASP and others.
I know lots of developers who are spending lots of time learning PHP since the 
Enterprise version of
CF is just too expensive to put on the server. There is just not enough demand for a 
higher priced
account.

Too bad Allaire/Macr... There are a lot of potential clients out there if it were just 
more
affordable.

Chris Giminez
Cyber Scriber






 I probably should not join this particular thread because I will probably be
 seen as very biased BUT.  But I am a relative newbie as an employee of
 Allaire now Macromedia.  My experience with using ColdFusion and briefly
 trying ASP is more relevant since I have used ColdFusion since late 1995-96.
 In reality ColdFusion should have died long ago as it has an appreciable up
 front cost.  But it did not die in the face of alternatives that have no up
 front costs.  In fact rather than ceasing to exist it grew exponentially in
 use. Also, the ColdFusion community has never seemed small to me as I
 struggled with and was presented with solutions to challenging issues, time
 and time again.

 Now, we have the honeymoon and final marriage of Allaire and Macromedia. I
 do not know what will eventually come out of this but I do know it will be
 fed and nurtured with ideas from all the worldwide developers and users of
 both former Macromedia and Allaire products and I do know that we are only
 limited by our own imaginations. My personal opinion is that now would
 definitely be the wrong time to move away from ColdFusion for anyone with a
 desire to be involved in the future of the Internet and the Web.

 Subject: Is CF still relevant?


 Now, before you dismiss this as a troll, please let me elaborate. This isn't

 so much an instigation or a whine as it is a call for us to take a step back

 and reevalutate things periodically.

 Over the course of my career as a web programmer/developer, I have worked
 with a variety of sever-side languages and technologies: ColdFusion, ASP,
 JSP, PHP, Perl and Python. I like some more than others, but I'm not an
 evangelist for any; they each have their uses. And I recognize some of CF's
 strengths: easy to learn for people who know only tag-based HTML or don't
 have significant programming experience; built-in admin tool; specialized
 editor; comes with pre-built tags and web-based administrator. There are
 also major flaws: broken/sketchy tags; no XML parsing; not OOP; relatively
 small community; etc.

 Right now, I work at a web development firm that is primarily "a CF house"
 (besides me). Our more senior programmers are looking at honing their CF
 skills, while our less experienced webmasters are trying to learn
 ColdFusion. But, I can't help but wonder whether they are wasting their
 time. Would they be better off spending their time learning ASP, Java or
 another non-CF solution? Why or why not?

 And how would we tell if and when it was time to give up CF and try
 something else, as all but the most stubborn experts in also-ran languages
 (Ada, SmallTalk), applications (Netscape, Lotus Notes) and Operating Systems

 (Amiga) have resignedly done?

 Lastly, why do *you* still use CF? Is it because it's what you're best at,
 and you don't want to try something new (where, temporarily, you'd be a
 novice again)? Is it because your ccompany's legacy code is all in CF? Is it

 because you genuinely think that ColdFusion is, generally speaking, the best

 solution for web application development in 2001?

cfschedule behind protected directory

2001-04-19 Thread Chris Giminez

I am using cf security to protect a directory. If the user is not logged in (with a 
correctly
defined session variable)
they are redirected to a login page in a different directory.

I would like to run cfschedule for a page that is located in the protected directory. 
It cannot
access it due to the redirection.

How can I get this to run under cfschedule without removing it from this protected 
directory or
changing the method of security?

Re: Problem comparing now date with access97 date

Have you tried using the datecompare or datediff functions? I don't think
you need to change the format of now() to get what you need. Are you trying
to see if the date is before, after or the same as now()? If so, use
datecompare.

limiting upload file size

2000-07-02 Thread Chris Giminez

I am permitting a user to upload their resume as an option when inquiring
for employment. This file should never exceed 1Mb and will usually be much
less. I'm using cffile to write the file to the server, then attaching it
with cfmail to go to my client.

How can I detect the size of the file prior to upload to prevent someone
from maliciously uploading a 100MB file (or worse!). I know I can see it
with #file.filesize# but this is only after the upload, right?

I want to not upload at all if the file is bigger than 1MB. How can this be
done?

Thanks!

controlling print page break

2000-06-28 Thread Chris Giminez

I'm missing something in the way to control a page break within a cfoutput
block.

I have
P, TABLE  {
page-break-after: auto;

in the style block in the head

Then...

cfoutput query="project_list"
p
table width="600" align="center"

. bunch of tr's and td's  (never more than a 3rd of a page)

/table
/p
/cfoutput


I want to be sure the content of a single table will not break when printed,
but this is not working. As it is now, it's breaking whenever the page ends.
I have tried it with and without just the table being in the style block.
Nothing I have tried works. Anyone know why this isn't working?

Thanks a bunch!

Re: Error Msg

I run a little program that shows my system resources available at all
times.
If I have IE, CF, Photoshop, Outlook and one or two others open at once (not
to mention all of the "start up programs"), I may drop as low as 5%. At that
point, I will commonly get the same error. Rarely do I get it if resources
are over 20%.

You can avoid the error by not getting too low on system resources. If you
do, close other programs before going back to Studio

combining order by and cf group attribute

2000-06-20 Thread Chris Giminez

I'm joining a few tables and grouping them by their "package". It works
great until I try to add an ORDER BY price statement to the sql.
When I do that, it creates several groups. The pricing order takes
precedence over the grouping done in CF. How can I order by price and stay
within the groups?

thanks!

modifying variable names in a loop

2000-06-19 Thread Chris Giminez

I have a form that may have just one or up to 20 or so sets of data. The
form fields will be passed, but could be blank for all but one set up data.
It's being passed as something like

form.name1
form.address1
form.city1
form.state1

form.name2
form.address2
form.city2
form.state2

... so on.

On the action page, I want to loop over an insert query and only execute the
query if the set of data is not ""

so I need to do a cfif name1 is not "" run the querycfelsedon't run
the query/cfif
How do I run the count in the cfif statement since name#loopcount# won't
work within a cfif statement?

Then if I do the insert, how can I get the value of the variable for the
query. It has to be dynamically generated from the loop
Obviously this is not going to work, but I think it illustrates what I am
trying to do.

 CFQUERY NAME="name" DATASOURCE="name"
INSERT INTO tablename
(
name,
city,
...

)

VALUES

(
#name#loopcount##,
#city#loopcount##,


)

CFIF (login.recordcount eq 0)

or
(compare(form.username, login.username) neq 0)

...bad password. try again.

  Are all password protected sites done with Cold Fusion

  "password" in the database returns a record when matched with
  "PASSWORD" or "PaSSwORd" when I want
  it to return a record with "password" exactly.
 
  How can I force a case sensative query?
 
  CFQUERY NAME="login" DATASOURCE="datasourse"
  SELECT Count(*) AS loggedin
  FROM admin_pass
  WHERE username = '#trim(FORM.username)#'
  AND password = '#trim(FORM.password)#'
  /CFQUERY

 I can tell you how this works in SQL Server; when you install SQL Server,
it
 asks you what sort order to use. You can then pick case-sensitive
 or -insensitive. If you want to change later, you have to reinstall SQL
 Server and rebuild all your databases. The default is case-insensitive.

 So, if you had a default SQL Server install, you'd have to do a lot of
work
 with string functions to make this happen. For example, within your SQL
you
 could retrieve all the records that have a simple string match, then loop
 over each returned record, and within that loop have a nested loop that
 examines each string character-by-character. Alternatively, you could do
 that within CF.

or
(compare(form.username, login.username) neq 0)

duplicate values in query supplying verity search.

2000-06-15 Thread Chris Giminez

I need to run a query to provide data for a verity search.

I need to use a few tables so information can be provided in the body of the
verity collection to make it searchable.

Here's my query.

CFQUERY NAME="contractor_query" DATASOURCE="scbuild"
SELECTDISTINCT contractors.company_name, contractors.*, license_types.*,
lic_tie.*
FROM contractors, license_types, lic_tie
WHERE   contractors.contractor_id = lic_tie.cont_id AND
   lic_tie.lic_id = license_types.id

ORDER BY  contractors.company_name DESC
/CFQUERY
Most contractors have just one license type, and it works just fine.
The problem I am having is that when a contractor has more than one license
type, duplicates are returned. Distinct isn't working and I think it would
be problem if it did since only one license description (with keywords I
need searchable by verity) would show up.

This is an Access database.

If it weren't for the need to provide this to Verity, I could split this
into separate queries just for display purposes.

If I can't fix this query, can I eliminate duplicates in Verity somehow or
in the results of a search using CF?

Move the form tags outside of the td tags.

 Sorry, but that didn't solve it. This is what I do. I wrote this code
 quickly under Notepad and sent it to the list:

 HTML
 TABLE WIDTH="100%" bgcolor="#CC"
 TD
 FORMINPUT type="text" value="Search"/FORM/TD/TABLE
 /HTML

 When you're going to view this code in your browser, you'll see a blank line
 under the textbox. So, the question is: Where am I wrong, what's wrong with
 this code? Please help, I am sure the solution is quite simple, but I
 haven't found it, yet! Thanks.

Re: Search Engines

 Ok.. remedial question, but one that I can seem to find a good answer to.
 
 We do a lot of web hosting and we provide a service to our customers where
 we register domain names for them and then list them with search engines. I
 have yet to find a good program to use to mass register with search engines.
 I want one that will be totally self-acting (all I have to do is enter info
 once, and it does all the registering just by pushing a button and walking
 away). I don't mind paying for this, but want feedback from anyone who has
 used one and likes it.

Re: You have nice cookies .. mind if I have a look?

2000-05-16 Thread Chris Giminez

But what good is an encrypted cookie?

If I have a cookie on my machine that automatically logs me in to Amazon's one click, 
for example,
encryption is irrelevant if some hacker steals it and installs it as their own. Next 
time they go to
Amazon, they're me; encryption or not.

What's scary about this is that you can only get your cookies "grabbed" by visiting a 
site that is
trying to grab it, right? Well, what about an html email being read? Same thing as 
visiting a site,
right? I would imagine a cookie grabbing script could be embedded in a typical html 
spam just as
easily.


Chris Giminez




 In the page submitted by Todd:
 "The NY Times said it has rewritten its cookies code with stronger
 encryption..."

 Certainly no one on this list would steal anyone's cookies grin, but I
 didn't hear anyone mention the possibility of encrypting one's own
 cookies to protect their contents. This is possible, isn't it?

Re: Member database with access levels -=- CF4.0.1+Access97

2000-05-15 Thread Chris Giminez

Have a one folder for login. Enable session variables in the application.cfm file
Have another folder for protected templates. Again, enable session variables in the 
application.cfm
file.

When the user successfully logs in, set a session variable to their access level.
Now, in the protected folder - application.cfm, check for the existence of the 
session.accesslevel
variable. If it doesn't exist, cflocation back to the login page
If it does exist, process the users queries or location based on their level of access.
If they try to change url variables without the correct session variable set, you can 
reject their
request.
If they try to go straight into a protected area without login in first, they'll be 
redirected to
the login page.

 Hi, I'm 18 years old and have been working with CF for a few months now.
 I have read books, articles, etc and have learned enough on my own to use
 CF with Access 97 to make simple DB's -- adding, updating, deleting
 records, setting variables, using CFMail, etc. You know, the easy stuff.
 I think it's really cool, I love ColdFusion!

 My next project is to create a database of members with access levels. I
 have fields like:

 MemberName
 Password
 MemberSince
 AccessLevel

 I'm trying to figure out how to use session variables and cookies and
 stuff to log a user into a section of a website that will display certain
 options (links basically) depending on their access level (levels are
 like 1 to 5).  However, the only part I have done is checking their
 username and password against the database and sending them to a page
 once they have successfully logged in. The thing is, how do you make it
 so someone cant just copy the URL they were sent to when they logged in
 and paste in a browser window and have it pop up?  Cookies right?

 What I am looking for is someone to point me in the direction or to a
 resource that could explain how some of this works (coding wise).. any
 suggestions.. anything will help.


 Thanks!!  :)

dropdown navigation and Netscrape 6

2000-05-01 Thread Chris Giminez

I know this is not CF related, but it was discussed on this list a short time ago.

There was some discussion of using dhtml navigation (drop down menus) like microsoft 
(and millions
of other sites) uses.
Shortly after spending a couple of hours implementing one of them (and loving it) I 
downloaded
Netscape 6 and found it did not work at all. Netscape 4-4.7 had no problems. I was 
hoping it was a
bug since it's a preview release, but it appears not to be.
See http://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol3/javascript_no4.htm

I don't know enough about dhtml and what WILL be supported to know if this type of 
navigation can be
done in any way or if designers will be forced to load an applet to accomplish this 
navigation
style.

Standards Schmandards Netscape. At least make it backwards compatible.

tying two tables

2000-04-30 Thread Chris Giminez

Sorry if this is a lame question. I'm not very strong in SQL yet and am having a brain 
freeze on how
to do this.

I have table A where I pull one record. In this one record are name ID's that 
correspond to table B
where the name ID's are associated with full name, email, phone, etc.

How do I post information of each name id from table A as the full name, email, phone, 
etc from
table B


I will display something like this

cfoutput
#tablea.data1#
#tablea.data2#
#tablea.data3#
#tablea.data4#
#tablea.data_name_id1# (but here is where I don't want the Id, I want the info from 
table B)
#tablea.data_name_id2# (same goes here)

/cfoutput

Re: tying two tables

2000-04-30 Thread Chris Giminez

thanks for the reply, but that's not what I am trying to do. The only way I can think 
to accomplish
this is to use multiple - separate queries. If someone can show me how to improve 
this, I'd
appreciate it.

Let me give you an example:

Say I run a query for a real estate listing (this isn't what I'm doing, but it 
correlates well)

CFQUERY NAME="property_detail" DATASOURCE="properties"
SELECT  *
FROM Listing
WHERE   (Listing.Id = '#url.id#')
/CFQUERY

Now, lets say this returns the address, city, zip, price, etc along with 5 ID's of 
agents that have
shown this particular property. The format would be the agent's initials.

Now I want to display the agent's full name and email on the same page.

The table containing this might be something like:

Agent_IdNameLNameEmail
CSG    ChrisGiminez[EMAIL PROTECTED]
...and so on

I am accomplishing this by setting up additional queries for each "agent"

CFQUERY NAME="agent_name_1" DATASOURCE="properties"
SELECT  Agent_Id,  Name, LName, Email
FROM Agents
WHERE   (Agent_ID= '#property_detail.Agent_Id_1#')
/CFQUERY

Then I run another query for each Agent_Id needed.

I'm sure there's a better way, but I don't know what.

 Name, Address, City and State are from table b. You could also
 include any records you like from table a. The only time you'll need
 to specify the table (like in Table_A.NameID) is if there are fields
 named the same in both tables. It's also very important NOT to name
 fields the same in two tables that may be called from the same query
 unless they ARE related and contain the same info.

 Then:

 cfoutput query = "myQuery"

 #Address#br
 #City#br
 #State#P

Try asking Able for the wizards source code. They gave them to me after I complained

 What I meant is when you click on Van Seats for example, you see only 2
 products out of maybe 30.

 Then to see the other 28 (since they're no displayed in one column), you
 have to click a next button over and over again to see them in groups of 2.
 And when you try to change the format so they display in one column in
 total or in groups of say 10 in a column, lo and behold, theres no way to
 get into the  templates.

 The wizards in Able Commerce are quite cryptic and help section is not very
 helpful. If anyone found a way to get around these obstacles without buying
 the open source version (another $1500), please let me know. Thanks.

Dear Paul,
   
I tried this with medium and large sized store. Unfortunately the
templates
don't allow you to go in and customize them to look exactly as you want.
The output is nowhere near what the client is looking for. Normally in
other programs you can go into the code and do this, but in Able
Commerce,
when you're using a wizard you're apparently not able to get into the
source code. Try to get into the underlying CFM file and you find
that its

Choose a large store option and you have three levels.
Top level - create categories vans, trucks and suvs.
Now create groups within each of those ie ford trucks, nissan trucks etc.

For each group, go to the style for that group and simply enter up your
photo etc to show just what you are asking for.

You must have set it up wrong if you are not achieving this - what demo

  1. VANS
  2. TRUCKS
  3. SUVS
 
  So what I need to do is have three tabs on the home page, each
  tab going to
  a page that has the group listings of each category on the next
  page. So if
  a visitor clicks on VANS, they go to a page with a nice
picture of a van
  and a listing of all VAN products. When they click on a product,
  they see a
  display, etc. This I have not been able to accomplish with Able
  Commerce's
  so called wizards.
 
  Next, I need to change the icons, that I agree is not such a big
  deal but I
  was amazed that they would have enough courage to ship their
product with
  such an ugly set. A real montrosity, I share this to vent my
frustration
  with the user-unfriendliness of the product. I couldn't even
get one page
  to list all 3 categories in a table with 3 rows.
 
  And finally to add insult to injury, when someone clicks on SEATS as a
  group listing, on the next page, instead of seeing a listing
of all seats
  one after another vertically in a column, the visitor is expected
  to click
  on an ugly NEXT button to see the next one. No thumbnails,
highly arcane
  looking navigation system created by their templates/wizards

Re: A Good CF Host Has What?

2000-04-15 Thread Chris Giminez

I'm sure someone can add to this list, but here's a list of what a dream host would 
offer in my
opinion:

Always up
unlimited pop accounts
reasonable price
web based email access
statistics package
real time account set up (or within an hour)
real time datasource set up
static IP (for development and testing without a domain)
phone (no more than 5 minutes on hold) or chat support

 Over time I've noticed the classic "I'm looking for a host threads".  One of
 the things I've noticed is a general comment along the lines of "at least
 they're always up".

 I'm curious what people find to be important in a host.  But not only that,
 but how difficult those things are to implement.  To me, I would think that
 having enough bandwidth is a problem a host can easily fix with money
 (getting a OC-12 instead of a T-3, etc.).  But I would think something are
 more difficult to implement, like good customer service.

Re: A Good CF Host Has What?

2000-04-15 Thread Chris Giminez


  phone (no more than 5 minutes on hold) or chat support

 Only needed to contact them once via email to ask that CFFILE be enabled on
 my account...taken care of immediately. A friend has spoken with them on the
 phone and gotten immediate response. They do offer a support forum but I've
 never used it.

Funny, I called regarding the use of CFFILE and was told it was disabled. Period. 
There was no
mention of the possibility of it being enabled. I guess I'll have to make a specific 
request. I set
up an account elsewhere because of the lack of support for this tag. Other than that 
Inermedia has
been great. You definately will pay for the great service and features, but it's worth 
it.

Why don't hosting companies offer MySQL as a free option or maybe a one time set up? 
I've not seen
it. Only Access or SQL.

domain maker custom tag

2000-04-08 Thread Chris Giminez

Anyone know of a custom tag that would let a user enter a few keywords and have them 
combined in
various combinations and with and without dashes "-", then check for registration 
availability. The
output would show two lists. One for unavailable names and the other for available 
names.

 the Personal Web Server icon was missing in my Win98 sys tray and trying

 Anyone else notice a problem like this after installing NN6?

 Yer wasting a lot of processing power in coldfusion unnecessarily.  You
 should build a where clause that replicates the conditions you are searchinf
 for in your CFIF, that way you just loop over the result set and send the
 email to every single record.  SQL Will handle that much faster than Cold
 Fusion will.
