CFMAILing a FILE input
Hi guys. I'm still a noob. So I've got this form, and I'm CFMAILING it somewhere. The form has a FILE input field, for adding a photo. I'd like it to attach the photo to the CFMAIL. You know, send the photo as an attachment. How do I do that in the CFMAIL tag?

Noob: getting a total from some CFOUTPUTted fields
Hey list! How's it going? My first app is running now. I couldn't have done it without everybody's help! Thanks to all. Perhaps I will eventually become a useful member myself. Now, in my app I have a CFOUTPUT that displays table rows like this: CUSTOMER PRODUCT ORDER VALUE #customer##product##order_value# I'd like to have a TOTAL field at the bottom of the table, that displays the sum of all the CFOUTPUTted #order_values#. Is this very difficult? This is what I'd like to see: CUSTOMERPRODUCTORDER VALUE Tom Apple 100 Dick Banana 200 -- TOTAL 300 How do I calculate the total?

Dear list, My task management app gets a list of tasks, like so: -- CFQUERY name=get_tasks datasource=taskomatic SELECT tasks.task_id, tasks.name AS taskname, tasks.deadline, tasks.project_id, tasks.importance_id, tasks.owner_id, tasks.lead_time, tasks.status_id, projects.project_id, projects.name AS projectname, projects.colour, projects.company_id, people.person_id, people.name AS ownername, importance.importance_id, importance.importance AS importancename, FROM tasks JOIN projects ON tasks.project_id = projects.project_id JOIN people ON tasks.owner_id = people.person_id JOIN importance ON tasks.importance_id = importance.importance_id WHERE tasks.status_id = 1 CFIF Session.company_id neq 0 !--- this is the bit i need help with--- /CFIF ORDER BY #order# /CFQUERY -- What I'd like to happen is that: if the session variable company_id is not 0, it only gets TASKS that belong to the PROJECT that the PERSON is cleared for. My link table is called PEOPLE_PROJECT and it has two columns: -- person_id | project_id -- There is a tasks.project_id and of course a project.project_id (and a people.person_id if that's relevant).

Re: OT rookie: link table
people.person_id hahahahahhahahhahhhaahaha.ah. sigh. sorry Chris, back to the topic. :| uh? I love it when I'm funny but it's a bit disconcerting when I don't know why. it only gets TASKS that belong to the PROJECT that the PERSON is cleared for Im not sure how you are defining cleared for, but it should just be a couple more Inner Joins? Well i have a Session.person_id. I should be able to compare that somehow with the table people_project (which is a combination of person_id and project_id), and thereby find out which project(_id)(s) match which the logged in person(_id), right?

A newbie approaches user authentication
Dear list, So, my first app is finished - except for user authentication. I thought I'd save the most difficult bit until the end. I guess CFLOGIN is the way to go, so I took a look at this tutorial: http://tutorial67.easycfm.com/ and, to my shame, didn't really understand it. I was doing okay until the bit about creating a security object that contains all the methods of the security component by using the createobject function to invoke security.cfc. Can anyone either (a) point me to a simpler user authentication method, or (b) help me understand that above stuff?

Too stupid for CF
Dear list, In my task management system, certain people have access to certain projects. I'd like an admin screen for each project that displays all the people with a checkbox beside their name. The sysad can check or uncheck people as necessary. But I'm a bit confused how best to execute this (using MySQL and CF). My first thought was that each project would have its own table in the backend. It'd have one column that would contain all the person_ids. PROJECT IHATECODING --- 01 04 06 So users 01, 04, and 06 would have access to project ihatecoding. But of course I can't do this because users can create projects on the fly. So I made a table that combined project_ids and person_ids: PROJ_ID | PERS_ID 01 | 03 01 | 05 02 | 03 But how the hell do I update this using CF? Do I CFINSERT or CFUPDATE or what? And how do I tell my app to remove people when they're unchecked? This is killing me. I feel like I can almost see how this is supposed to work but I'm like three IQ points short of getting it. :( Grateful thanks in advance for any help and insights, CK. ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

A form passes the variables #person_id# #project_id# to this page:

When there are multiple #person_id#s, I was hoping the CFLOOP would
create multiple rows in the table. But it doesn't. :/ What am I
doing wrong this time?
Many thanks,

Making a game!
Dear list, I've been asked to help make a web wargame! I was wondering if ColdFusion is a capable tool. I'm basically envisaging a database that contains details of each side's forces. Each turn, the players send commands via a web page. Ideally CF then calculates the results of said commands and makes alterations to the data accordingly. So, at its simplest: player one decides to attack player two. CF compares the two forces then adds a random value to each. The force with the highest result wins. CF determines how much damage has been done to the winner and loser - based on the difference between the two results - then changes the database accordingly. Is that doable? What CF commands should I be investigating for this kind of calculation? Thanks! CK. ~| Protect Your PC from viruses, hackers, spam and more.

Preventing users CFINSERTing duplicate records
Hello list! Well, that's it really. What's the best way to prevent a user from inserting duplicate records? FYI in this case it's going into a MySQL table that has only two columns: -- co_id co_name [PKey] -- Thanks!

Appointments scheduling system
Dear list! So I've got to make an appointment scheduling system for a doctor's surgery.I really can't be bothered to code it myself...does anyone know of an existing CF system I could buy, or any open source stuff I could easily repurpose?

Re: WWOT: OS X for Intel?
Could Apple make a dent in the windows desktop? Is this the time and place? Should they? Right now they have an interesting opportunity.Consumers normally have to pass through six buyer-readiness stages before they make a purchase: 1. Awareness I'm aware of the brand 2. Knowledge I know what they do 3. Liking I identify with the values of the brand 4. Preference I prefer the values of the brand to those of other brands 5. Conviction My life will be better if I can buy this brand 6. Purchase Here's my money I would say that historically, Apple have been stuck at the knowledge stage with the mainstream, who never get round to liking Apple as a brand because they don't use the products (in my experience most people who move on to Apples would sooner eat razor blades than go back).But - now millions of people have iPods, and maybe are running iTunes on Windows and thinking, man, this works a lot better than any other piece of software on this crummy ugly machine on my desktop, I'm feeling pretty favourably disposed to Apple right now.So IMHO the conditions for a market push might be more favourable for Apple than they were, say, two years ago.

Access alternatives (WAS: Security gurus out there?)
If you're storing lots of sensitive information in a web application, DON'T RUN IT ON ACCESS!!! Access is a desktop database, threads frequently crop up on here with lots of info on why it's really NOT suited to a server environment... What's a better choice?SQL Server?Does anyone know of an idiot's guide to it I could check out somewhere? Ciao! CK.

Re: Breadcrumbs - do you fully track users?
What do you do for breadcrumbs on your sites? Do you display the actual route the user took to get to this page or do you show the normal 3-4 steps from the home page, regardless of the way the user actually got there? To me the purpose of breadcrumbs is more to show the navigational structure of the site than allow a user to retrace her steps (which she has a back button for anyway).

Re: Exactly *how* smart are we?
I follow most of these discussions on CF, and it's obvious there are some extremely intelligent people here. I'd like to invite everyone to visit the International High IQ Society Website... I've always been a little sceptical when people suggest a subject so complex and diverse as human intelligence can be boiled down to one number.The verbal intelligence test, for instance: how does knowing who Voltaire was measure one's intellect in any way?(Just in case y'all think this is sour grapes, I scored 138.)

Inserting into multiple tables
Dear list,
So here I am, at the last line of defence, so to speak: my first app is
due today!
Luckily, I'm nearly finished, but I have another stupid question for
you lot, my new favourite people.I'd like to insert values from an
insert form into two separate tables.I'm planning to use a SQL insert
like this:
CFQUERY datasource=myDatasource
INSERT INTO tasks(taskname,deadline,notes)
VALUES('#taskname#','#deadline#','#notes#')
/CFQUERY
In my backend Access database I have a relationship between two tables:
TASKSPROJECTS
Project -- projectsID [key]
projectname
The insert form gets all the projectnames and puts them in a list
box.But how do I go from there to inserting the corresponding
projectsID value into the tasks table?
Thank you for your continued patience with my stupid, basic questions.
Yours tiredly and confusedly,
CK

Re: Inserting into multiple tables

I think I'm falling in love with you, all of you.Deanna, thank you so
much, that worked perfectly.
Kind regards,

I'm not sure I'm following you, Chris. But, are you saying that you're
currently passing the projectname, but you need the projectid? If so,
you
can display the projectname and pass the projectid. On your form,
just do
this:
select...
option value=#projectid##projectname#/option
/select

500 error until I refresh
Dear list, Here's an odd one.My page projects.cfm links (via a standard A HREF="" to the page newtask.cfm. In my browser I get an HTTP 500 error - (The page cannot be displayed...) but when I refresh it it loads fine.This hasn't happened in any of my other .cfm pages - any ideas?

A bit confused with links between tables
Dear list, As the witching hour approaches and my first deadline draws near, expect my stress levels to climb and my emails to get less and less graceful.For now, I feel remarkably composed, although I don't suppose I'll be getting to bed anytime soon. Now: this query fetches some data from two tables. CFQUERY name=get_tasks datasource=taskomatic SELECT tasks.taskID, tasks.taskname, tasks.status, tasks.project, projects.projectsID, projects.projectname, projects.client FROM tasks, projects WHERE tasks.project=projects.projectsID /CFQUERY Further down I have a table that looks something like this: CFOUTPUT query=get_tasks #task.taskname##task.status##projects.projectname# #projects.client# /CFOUTPUT The trouble is that the field project.client just returns the primary key from another table (clients).I'd like it to display the field clients.clientname. I appreciate that this an extremely low hurdle to fall at but I've been frying my brain with this stuff for days and I'm finding it hard to think straight... Kind regards, CK.

setting a default value in my SELECT tag
Dear list, I'm sure there is a simple answer to this basic question.Sorry for being such a noob: I'm working on my first application!I hope to become a useful member of the CF community one day.But first you will have to put up with my stupid questions for a while. Stupid question the second: I have a select element in a form.The options are populated from a database.It looks a bit like this: CFQUERY name=get_projects datasource=datasource SELECT projectname FROM projects /CFQUERY ... SELECT name=project CFOUTPUT query=get_projects OPTION#projectname#/OPTION /CFOUTPUT /SELECT It works beautifully so far, giving me a list of all the projects in my database.But I'd like it to default to a certain value from another query.So I added some more code: CFQUERY name=get_details datasource=datasource SELECT projectname FROM projects WHERE ID=[a certain value] /CFQUERY CFOUTPUT query=get_details SELECT name=project value=#projectname# /CFOUTPUT CFOUTPUT query=get_projects OPTION#projectname#/OPTION /CFOUTPUT /SELECT But it just doesn't work: it won't default to the value from the new query.Am I being a total moron?

SOLVED: setting a default value in my SELECT tag
Dear Ewok, Thank you, you're a genius.I was just fumbling around the edges of that solution, but my way involved all kinds of CFSETs and stuff: using the scope is much more elegant. My first app is working quite nicely but I bet the code is flabby.I will probably look back on it and cringe one day. Thanks again. CK.
