Re: Nested Record Sets and Menus
This is for a school district's adult ed site. They want the HeirMenu for the primary menu, plus a side nav for their section 508 compliance.

Re: JS form validation script
The script is to loop through the fieldnames array to validate each field specified. Each Item of the fieldnames array is an array: Fieldname, FieldType, ErrorMessage, ValidateForBadCharacters, ValidateAnEmailAddress I started by just checking for isEmpty, which is working fine. Then I began testing for bad characters (checkChar). This took a little tweeking, but now it's working fine. Then I began to test the email. Ouch! Process stops here: check if isEmpty, then check if it needs a character check (blValChar) and if it does then do it (checkChar). Then check if the field needs an address validation (blValMail)... This is where it stops. It gets to phone, sees that it is not empty, then does the first boolean (blValChar) and since it does it performs the character check (checkChar). Then it goes to check if it requires address validation (blValMail)...and it breaks. The blValMail function (for the first time) throws an error stating that 'Item.4' is null or not an object. I can't figure it out, it's been driving me nuts for hours now.

[Resolved] JS form validation script
I figured it out. Since I used 'i' for my index of my ValForm() function
I could not also use it in the character loop of the charCheck()
function. i would increment far past the number of items in my
fieldnames array, which is why I got null errors when attempting to
access a value. I changed the index in charCheck() to j and it works
(well, it required a bit more tweaking, but it came out for the most part.

Joshua Miller wrote:
A couple things:
1. Is there someplace I can see this online to check it out?
2. Have you tried just popping up the value of Item[4] when you run
through the validator? A lot of times that will give you a good idea
what's going on. Just stick an alert(Item[4]); in the function that's
breaking. Then try an alert with that value - ie: if it's showing the
value of Item[4] is Item.4 then try to alert(Item.4); and see if it's an
object or a null value or what.
Something like:
function blValMail(field)
{
Item = field;
// Debug
alert(Item);
return Item[4];
// Debug
alert(Item[4]);
// USING THE VALUE OF THE ITEM ABOVE
alert(Item.4); //or whatever the value from the alert above is.
It will say [object] or [NaN] or undefined or something.
}
3. It looks at first glance like the value of Item will be a fieldname
(I may be way off) but how could there be an array of the fieldname?
For example if I have a field named email using your code I'd be
looing for email[4]. What would the value of email[4] be?
4. It seems like it would be MUCH simpler to include your messages and
return codes in the individual validation functions instead of inside an
array inside another array. You'll never need the message for invalid
email inside another validator - save yourself the headache and section
the messages and status codes into the individual functions, then just
pass the fieldname to the validator.
5. Here's what I've got: http://66.241.216.34/atomm/test_validation.cfm
If you're interested I can send you the corresponding CF_RealFormNames
tag that goes with this. You're more than welcome to take it, tweak it
and make it do whatever you want.
It would help if I could see this online to see how it's laid out - if
possible. If you want to see my validator let me know and I'll send it
to you.

Re: OT: MM Suprises Wall Street - Can more be done?
It's a matter of balance. A complete knowledge of most languages is not absolutely necessary. Many developers can easily compete if they have: 1) a no nonsense work ethic, 2) a solid understanding of a languages syntax, 3) a good understanding of a languages abilities/limitations, 4) a strong foundation in programming and design concepts, 5) a fair listing of community resources (like user groups, sample code sites and lists such as this one) 6) and detailed language references. Mastery of a single language is great, but can be limiting. A broadening of one's understanding and abilities is not only liberating but can improve your overall growth as a developer just through exposure alone.

Verity - why won't it work?
I have a site for a local school board set up on a Linux server running CFMX. I have set up two separate Verity collections, one to index the entire site and one to only index a documents directory. Having never done this before (and our lead developer not having any idea why it wasn't working) I killed the two prior, unworking, collections and recreated them from scratch. I just followed the ambiguous directions included in the Help of the CFIDE administrator. Although I have these two collections setup, and supposedly correctly, I am still unable to get any results. The CFSEARCH worked fine when this was all set up on a CF 4.5.2 machine, but we migrated the site when they asked for a redesign. Are there changes to CFSEARCH that I am unaware of? Any suggestions?

Different search pages are used to access each collection. It is a shared environment, though currently these are the only two collections on this server.

Re: CFC's and people management
I'm working on a site for a school district's adult ed program. They are requiring no less than 4 different access areas with multiple levels of control. After a little research I'm expanding upon a roles based security model that I originally read about on the MM site (CFC best practices: Component functions and function invocation by Anthony McClure, http://www.macromedia.com/desdev/mx/coldfusion/articles/cfc_practices.html). A very basic outline is given, and the sample includes (ohboy) an Access db, but with fairly minor modification it can be put together into a viable roles based security model. Cutter Gyrus wrote: Hi all, I'm planning an MX revamp to our bespoke CMS, and I'm wondering about restructuring the way people are handled, using CFC's. In my current system there are users who can login to the admin functions. This works fine, most of the time. Only, when you get clients who have login accounts to access a client-only area, I've often found myself having to create client accounts for users, so they can login to the client-only area as well to see the content they're managing. (BTW, this is all based on having a frontend and a backend, two separate CF applications. Obviously this issue would be ironed out if there's one site that can be administered from within - something I'm planning on trying.) It gets more complex when it comes to having company contacts - some of whom will be users - and maybe a more general category of people (one site I've built associated content items with one or more people, if there's an article about a specific person, or if the item is a review of an album, it links to the people table to specify the artists). I'm wondering whether I should just have one top-level people table / person.cfc that models and manages absolutely any types of people in the site. Then you'd maybe have subset tables / subtype CFC's like administrators, users, contacts, etc. In some cases there might be another level, e.g. person administrator developer, depending on whether developers would need much extra information about them storing. I'm only starting out with CFC's, so I'm just wondering whether this is a valid, effective way to start thinking about remodelling my CMS. Would I just end up with too many table joins accessing all those subset tables? Or would the fact that this will be done in CFC's reduce this problem by only having any less-than-easy SQL joins in one central place?

Hello CF-Talk community: For the last year or so I've been working on an application called Visual FusionC (Patent pending). The application is basically a program that takes ColdFusion coding to the next level and allows you to create stand-alone applications written in ColdFusion (CFML) code. The application works exactly like Visual Basic, but powered by CFML. The idea is to allow ColdFusion developers the ability to distribute their existing ColdFusion projects without the need of a web server / ColdFusion server. After the application is created, you compile it and create an .EXE for it (with the ability to create a setup, etc..). Therefore allowing us ColdFusion developers to sell our applications to clients that cannot afford or don't want to buy servers (ColdFusion server / Web Server) and to distribute our applications much more securely without the chance of decrypting and loss of our techniques. The other thing about this application is that it will also be an alternative to application development as an alternative to Visual Basic. I wanted to see the reaction for such an application and to see what everyone's thoughts and comments were on such an application. Also, I while back I messaged asking people that know Java Programming who would like to help build this application to speed up the development. If anyone out there would like to help build this product and take part of profits as payment, let me know. I sure can use the help! :) I welcome all suggestions and comments...

Hello CF-Talk community: For the last year or so I've been working on an application called Visual FusionC (Patent pending). The application is basically a program that takes ColdFusion coding to the next level and allows you to create stand-alone applications written in ColdFusion (CFML) code. The application works exactly like Visual Basic, but powered by CFML. The idea is to allow ColdFusion developers the ability to distribute their existing ColdFusion projects without the need of a web server / ColdFusion server. After the application is created, you compile it and create an .EXE for it (with the ability to create a setup, etc..). Therefore allowing us ColdFusion developers to sell our applications to clients that cannot afford or don't want to buy servers (ColdFusion server / Web Server) and to distribute our applications much more securely without the chance of decrypting and loss of our techniques.

Re: Some idea about the Efficiency of UDFs
You might want to look at a suggested CFMX OOP design pattern posted
under the ColdFusion topic on http://www.benorama.com. I've been
experimenting with this recently and find it to be very clean and effective.

Li Chunshen (Don) wrote:
According to Macromedia's CFMX References on Using
UDFs effectively:
Consider the following techniques for making your
functions available to your ColdFusion pages:
If you consistently call a small number of UDFs,
consider putting their definitions on the
Application.cfm page.
If you call UDFs in only a few of your application
pages, do not include their definitions in
Application.cfm.
If you use many UDFs, put their definitions on one or
more ColdFusion pages that contain only UDFs. You can
include the UDF definition page in any page that calls
the UDFs.
I agree with everything it states, and I think it
might help more if CFMX predefines a UDF library path
such as UDFlib under CFMX installation instead of an
arbitrary directory, I can see several benefits of
this approach:
consistency -- especially helpful for large
development environment;
easier for reuse -- across applications/projects
(this one is similar to CFMODULE's dot notation
method, I love it)
And I don't see any downside of it. Thanks.

Re: APR Calculation Formula??
Les, Check out the Mortgage Payment Calculator in the Calulator section of http://www.firstshorefederal.com. If this looks like what you're looking for just email me off list and I'll forward the code. This is straight CF, with special attention paid to how and when the numbers are rounded. There is also a custom tag that is has a js based calc listed in the tag section of benforta.com. Cutter Les Mizzell wrote: Does anybody have a formula to calculate Mortgage APR written in Cold Fusion that I could have a look at? All I've been able to find so far is the below, which doesn't exactly give me a complete formula like I need: APR - Annual Percentage Rate The formula used to calculate the APR uses the same principles as the IRR although the assumptions about the term are forced by the legislation, as is the resulting 1 decimal place rounding and 0.1% variation. The Consumer Credit Act lays down the fundamental formula for calculating APR, slightly simplified as follows:- Loan = Initial Fees + P1 / (1 + i) a + P2 / (1 + i) b + P3 / (1 + i) c + ... Where P1, P2 etc are the periodic payments and a, b etc are the periods, usually 1,2 etc up to say 36 for a three year loan. The payments include fees and costs where relevant, as prescribed by the Act. The trick is to find i, which is the APR per period, and an iterative solution is essential. If you assume the periods are months, i will give you the monthly APR, which is then easily changed to the annual APR with formula (1 + i) 12 - 1 where i is the monthly rate. The iterative procedures used to calculate IRR rely on a formula similar to this same, fundamental formula. The results for the IRR and the APR are identical, given the same assumptions and accuracy restrictions. I would not recommend you use this 'official' formula to calculate the APR in practise, because the simpler, automatic spreadsheet functions come up with the same result. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm

Re: Cold Fusion forum (OPEN SOURCE?)
I can think of one good reason...Some hosts do not support PHP. Cutter jon roig wrote: I hear you, Adrocknaphobia... there really isn't a perfect forum system out there. (I've been running online forums for several years, most recently for a large non-profit website...) That said, PhpBB comes pretty darn close... and it's because of the reasons you describe. A large developer community contributing code, mods, new themes, and doing code peer review, etc... has created some excellent results. The result is a top-knotch OpenSource project with the extended feature set one might demand from such a project. So... here's my question... Why bother to compete? If all you're looking for is a top knotch opensource forum, why not dive in and contribute to PhpBB? It's a pretty remarkable little project, and certainly worth checking out. Don't get me wrong -- I think CF could really use a high quality OS forum system. I know we'd use it if we could migrate from Fusetalk. I mean, fusetalk is cool and all, but I had to hack the heck out of it to get it to do what we wanted and now any kind of upgrade path is somewhat dubious to say the least, given all the little changes we made. I'd contribute code the code that I changed to fusetalk, I guess, but the motivation to improve somebody else's commercial products in a way that doesn't benefit me (or the community as a whole) at all isn't all that strong. Obviously, with CF, it's not that hard to build a mediocre forum system. But building a great one... well, that's another story altogether. If someone does dive into this, let us know -- I might be interested in helping out a bit as well if it's the right project. -- jon -Original Message- From: Adrocknaphobia Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2002 2:10 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Cold Fusion forum (OPEN SOURCE?)

Re: Linking CF and Flash
Jochem and group, I completely agree. CFForm's implementation can be cumbersome, unintuitive, and sometimes downright buggy. I find it much easier, and more functional, to write my own form validation scripts. The little buzz I've heard about XForms sounds very promising, and I also think that would be a good direction for MM to concentrate. Cutter Jochem van Dieten wrote: Christian Cantrell wrote: I like the idea, too. Anyone want to add anything? How many people use the cfform tag now, and how many more people would use it if it worked in the manner described below? And how else would you want it to behave?

Just like I find cfform overly comlicated yet unable to do simple things like show all validation errors in one popup, which means I have to write custom validation anyway. I would prefer it if MM took a good look at the way XForms is shaping up in conjunction with XHTML 2 and put together some good support for that in Dreamweaver.

Language syntax and rules and what-have-you are still the same, it's the interaction with MS apps that are different. .NET is an expansion (and actually a damn fine one) of the existing supported technologies.

Re: Usage of Variables Scope
Proper variable scoping helps to A) decrease server overhead as the server will always know what scope a variable is in when requested, as opposed to searching each scope every time. B) makes your code much easier to debug in the event of an error and maintain in the event of changes, expecially when dealing with larger applications. C) is just good common programming practice, and will assist you greatly as you dive deaper into CFMX programming, as well as migrating to OOP web development.

Re: Mildly OT: JS, Form, Passing Vars
This business would be so much easier if we didn't have to create sites/applications to the specifications of clients. Part of our job is to try to steer clients in the right direction, and make them feel like the decision they made was their idea in the first place, but sometimes it just isn't possible. Frustrating isn't it? Cutter Russ wrote: Why is central. If it's down to the idiosyncratic preferences of a client you can't argue with, or the results of extensive user testing that you likewise can't really argue with - well, there's no argument! There's a reason that I posted my question the way that it was posted. There aren't other options and the client wants to use it this way. I try to be fairly specific so that I don't spend time going round and round as to why something is being done a certain way and so, instead, I can provide the information needed to help me find a solution. Using a second screen for a preview with a Go back to edit option is used by Yahoo! and Amazon, who I always assume pour a lot of funds into user testing. If you've got a client or niche audience with their own set-in-stone ideas, though, on with the JS... As does my client; they're not Yahoo! nor Amazon. Bear in mind that in HTML 4, the FORM tag has a TARGET attribute, just the same as A (_blank, _top, etc.), so you could just use this to fire the form into a new window, although you'd not be able to control the size, etc. of the _blank window. You could set the FORM TARGET to confirmWin, though, and onsubmit create this window with JS for the form to be submitted into. Sure, and then it would negate the existing form action that tells the submit to go to a results page, hence, again, the popup solution. The client wants the user to view what they're sending, as the recipient would see it prior to submitting, and they don't want any risks associated with leaving the initial form page--as to the results of their own user testing and experience with other applications. This is how they want it and for their own specific reasons. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Mildly OT: JS, Form, Passing Vars
For creating the pop-up, instead of a form submit I would just use a
link calling a js function to create the pop-up, passing your vars in
the url. In the window.open statement only specify the width and height
attributes (your called page can be CF).

CFHTTP on MX

The exact same code works fine on another (4.5) server, but I can't move this site. When I set the redirect=No throwonerror=yes, but don't wrap the tag in a cftry/cfcatch I get a 403 Forbidden error. But, if I cut and paste the variable being passed (the true varURL) into a browser window I get the page. When I do the same from a browser on the site's server I also get the page. Only when calling it from within the CFHTTP does it fail. Several posts within MM's forums suggested changing the port attribute. I have tried this without the port attribute, and with it set to 80 and also 8080 to no avail. MX running on a Win2K IIS5.0 config. Any suggestions?

Trying to write a function that performs a query based on specific arguments then outputs a select box based upon the query results as well as some of the other arguments.

That's all they have, for CFMX. DMV also runs quite a few other CF servers from 4.0 +. Not sure about the cfobject though, you'd have to call a business support tech (sales staff not in the loop on that kind of thing). Cutter John McKown wrote: Is that all that DMV has?Wow, that is surprising. They are a bigger company than us and we have more servers than that.

[SOLVED] Re: Passing parameters
Dave (and all), I tried it passing through the URL, and though it wrote it to the html CFMX still did not parse the code. Instead I decided to pass it like so: cfparam name=variables.hpimage default=Dr_Andes_final.jpg,204,238,Dr. Jon M. Andes and friends,yes cfset variables.hpimagelist = ListToArray(variables.hpimage) Then in my call of the tag I used this: ui:hpimage image=#variables.hpimagelist[1]# width=#variables.hpimagelist[2]# height=#variables.hpimagelist[3]# text=#variables.hpimagelist[4]# caption=#variables.hpimagelist[5]# This worked beautifully to call the tag properly and parse it out. So, in the future if I pass the variable from another page like so: cfset variables.hpimage = myimage.jpg,150,300,My message text,yes It will dynamically recall the tag correctly. Thank you all for your assistance.

I was trying to find a way to pass it as one parameter to a page instead of as five parameters (without a db call). In general, you can't use a tag as an attribute value for another tag. You could get where you're trying to go like this, I suppose: cfsavecontent variable=myimage ui:hpimage ... /cfsavecontent cfparam name=Variables.hpimage default=#Variables.myimage# Of course, this would run the custom tag ui:hpimage whether you needed to use it or not. You might want to look for an alternative approach. Is this custom tag written in CFMX, or is it a JSP custom tag? If it's written in CFMX, you might find the component model to be more suitable for what you're trying to do (or you may not, actually).

CFMX server - what's this?
Has anyone seen this before? I had a site set up on a W2K CFMX server. I set up two more sites. When attempting to access site A I would see the homepage for site B. I would eventually bring up Site C, but then going to site A would show me the home page of Site C (Site B would as well). Anybody?

Re: Image Resize without MS server
So, to recap, there is no way to resize images on a *nix based server, using CF MX, without installing some other piece of software (JAI, XWindows, etc.)?

Checking a float
A have a float field in a db to store the number of bathrooms for a property ( 1.5 bathrooms, 3 bathrooms). My question is, how do I check to see if there is a non zero value after the decimal? I want it to show: 1.5 bathrooms 3 bathrooms and not: 1.5 bathrooms 3.0 bathrooms Any help is greatly appreciated.
