Thoughts? Export / Import transaction file
Hi all: I am working with a vendor in exporting a file to them on a daily basis from our web site, and then I need to receive a response file from them. I imagine that we'll dump the transaction file in a directory that they then access on their end. What is the best, most secure way to do this? Shall they pass a user/pass combination to a script, which then retrieves the transaction file from a secure location and pushes it back to them? And how should I accept the response from their end? Shall they pass their response via URL (e.g. pass user/pass and field=valuefield=value)? What is the most secure way to accomplish this? --D ~~ David Notik Digital202, LLC Imagination gone digital.

CFMX - Mail Spooling Issue!
Hi all: Has anyone seen behavior like this? I have a script on localhost that pulls e-mails from an Access database, then loops over and sends a message to each e-mail address (over 500 addresses) using 127.0.0.1. The e-mail gets sent fine and all is good, but days later when I reboot my computer for whatever reason, when the computer comes back up I noticed that many more e-mails had just been sent (I know this because I start getting a bunch of bouncebacks for the invalid addresses). This leads me to believe that when I actually run the script, not all the e-mails get sent and it hangs for some reason (maybe?), and then when I reboot, it retriggers something and the rest of the mails get sent out? Does the CFMX mail component choke when there's a lot of messages in the CFMX\Mail\Spool folder? I know CFMX never stopped working so it doesn't completely hose, but maybe the mail part is? I don't know. Anyone have any clues? --D ### David Notik Digital202, LLC Imagination gone digital.

RE: CFMX - Mail Spooling Issue!
It seems as if it's being stuck in the CF mail spool (c:\cfusionmx\mail\spool) -- I use IIS as my mail server. Pretty simple setup. The only reason I assume it's getting stuck is because, like I said, all is fine but then the next time I reboot my computer I notice that it sends out a bunch of e-mails -- so it leads me to believe things got stuck when I originally ran the script to send all the e-mails and now that I've rebooted, it triggered the remaining ones and sent them off. Make sense? --D -Original Message- From: jon hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 3:23 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFMX - Mail Spooling Issue! CFMX can handle quite a few emails in it's spool without choking, I haven't bumped against a limit so far. I also haven't specifically seen this kind of behavior, but if the cf server spool process got confused somehow, it might cause such behavior. I've noticed that MX's spool keeps an internal counter of some kind, and if you copy an email out of the spool, let MX send it, and copy it back again it doesn't get sent.

Hi Paul: This is actually a setting in your web server software.

That's actually a great question. I've never tested it with CFMX, which is radically different in how it processes everything (uses JRun, etc...).

According to the upgrade chart, since I have CF Studio 4.5, I was eligable for the upgrade. The sticker on the box even lists CF Studio 4.5 or higher as required. So I stick Studio MX in to install, pop in the nice shiny new serial number, agree to the EULA, get to the page that tells me to enter either the (2) serial numbers from qualifying products -or- the serial number from the studio product, enter my serial number from my CF Studio (4.5), _get_ a green check next to that line (which I assume means it accepts the serial number...), and .. .and, nothing. the [NEXT] button is not live and ready to go. It sits there, I assume waiting for me to enter another product's serial number. I've tried putting the CF Studio number on the second line as well, but no go. And there's nothing (that I can find) on MM's website, forums, reasonable google-search, or CD that gives any indication what to do if upgrading from 1 product. Is there some unholy trick involved? Do I need to know the Secret Handshake? Is there some other number I'm supposed to use with it?

Well, first off, what's this line:

Do you mean...
cfif #Trim(CMFileName)# gt 0
..which essentially checks to make sure CMFileName has something
greater than a zero-length?
Secondly:

Do you mean to have the expression be...

Subject: Using a CFIF on RIGHT(#value#, 3)
I have a page set up so that when a user logs in, they're allowed to
click links to view images or documents.
I have a pop-up and resize function set to work, but this is only going
to work for .jpg and .gif images (that's all; we're going to use to keep
it fairly simple).
For everything else, I'd rather just have a simple link so that if a
person chooses to view a PDF, download an .eps, or even RTF docs.
That said, I'm failing miserably with my code.
Here's what I have:
cfoutput
CFIF #CMFileName# IS NOT
CFSWITCH EXPRESSION=RIGHT(#CMFileName#,3)
CFCASE VALUE=jpg,gif

onClick=MM_openBrWindow('clientItemView.cfm?CN=#clientName#amp;CMFN=#C

/CFCASE
CFDEFAULTCASE
LI Class=bulleta
href=clients/#clientDirectory#/#CMFileName#
class=navycopy#CMFileText#/a/LI
/CFDEFAULTCASE
/CFSWITCH
/CFIF
/cfoutput
So far, the links are only work for the CFDEFAULTCASE, and I'm not sure
what I'm missing. Anyone have any insight?

Include Verity results in search results?
Hi all: I have a document management system. I currently store all my documents with unique file names in one directory. Each document has a record in the database with title, keywords, description, the name of the physical file, and the like. I have simple search functionality. It searches the various database fields described above for the search terms, and displays a list of documents found. I'd like to expand this to search the actual content of the file as well (using Verity), and include the records in the search results documents list. In addition, I only care to search files where, say, I have Active=1 in the database. I have the filename in the database, so I'd imagine I'd pass a list of filenames to search to Verity (CFSEARCH?), and if the search terms are found in the physical files, I'd pass back the filename to the database and get the relevant information from the record to display in the list of documents. Or would I? What's the best way to go about this? Any samples would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. --D ### David Notik Digital202, LLC Imagination gone digital.

Contribute and Fusebox (WAS RE: OT? Macromedia Contribute, is it Content Management or not?)
Hmmm, it doesn't look like it works too well with Fusebox. It loaded the first page, index.cfm, and then loaded all linked pages and graphics (which is *everything*, since it all goes through index.cfm Fusebox-style). Then it wouldn't let me edit that region of the document when clicking any text (maybe because it's in CFCASE or CFINCLUDE?). Just FYI... --D ### David Notik Digital202, LLC Imagination gone digital.

RE: Contribute and Studio Observation
I don't think that should be a concern. Contribute seems to allow you to lock down everything, including fonts and styles, and just allow actual text content editing. So unless you make a living cutting and pasting text changes a client sends you, I wouldn't be too worried. The site, the code, and the initial content creation are all done by you, the developer/designer. Contribute comes into play when you start getting client phone calls (each call lasting 10 minutes at least) asking you to make a few text changes, or to use the new paragraph they're about to send you, or to hypothesize what text might be better that what is currently there. I do this too often, and it is *not* worth my time, and I'm sure I am losing money as a result. You could just have them buy Contribute and make the text changes they want. That keeps you coding (and happy) and the client happy. If you're worried about the fact that the client will no longer call you to change foxtrot to fox trot, you probably have way too much time on your hands, and I can only strongly suggest that you could probably make better use of creatively inclined mind. Besides, from my experience, even the tiniest modification takes 15 minutes (between the phone call, the popping open the site, locating the page, making the edit, e-mailing the client about the change, winding down). If I charge $125/hour, I can justify charging over $30 for fox trot to myself, but does that really make sense? I don't think so. Better to open up the content to the client, and focus on design and development. Plus, I'd bet that the fact that the client can edit the pages will excite him, and keep him occupied with the site, and keep them coming back to you for additions/modifications/answers. Personally, I welcome Macromedia Contribute with open arms. Go MM! -D ### David Notik Digital202, LLC Imagination gone digital.

RE: Contribute and Studio Observation
Got it. I would agree with you, to an extent. I can very well see a client/boss hearing about Contribute, and deciding to instruct his web developer to make the site work with Contribute thinking he can do everything he needs to, then proceeding to royally #$@! up the site. But that's why Contribute allows you to specify what can be changed and to what extent. *You* open up the various elements, *you* control what they can do, *you* control how they do it. So if you only want them to edit text (not styles/fonts), done. If you don't want them to edit anything, don't open up anything and say something like your site is too 'complex and intertwined' to allow for that. You're the developer... you still have the control. At first glance, it seems Contribute did a very good job of keeping that control. I am personally, by the way, definitely interested in opening up text areas to various clients. I feel that even if I make $30 for a 15 minute text change, it's worthless to me because that time (and it adds up!) can be spent doing something better such as working on a project/component that will reap me tremendous benefits later on... versus making tons of text changes, making the money for the change... but really moving nowhere. Plus, I think us developers have become too accustomed to clients not knowing how to do anything we do (change text), and I believe that we need to begin making certain elements of a site's creation process open to the average user. I think there is no lack of technical stuff to keep us overly busy with and to keep our positions and industry secure for millennia to come.

Have you by any chance just stared using multiple sites (virtual servers) on this machine? In its default configuration CFMX will not include full path information for the compiled class files - so you'll get cross over between mutliple virtual servers. There's a configuration file change that needs to be made to support virtual servers properly.

OT: Dreamweaver MX -- planned full support for .NET?
Hi all: I'm an avid ColdFusion developer (been using it since 3.0, used to author daily CF tips), but I also strongly believe in utilizing different technologies based on the project and keeping a diverse skill set. Recently I completed a project in .NET (C#) at www.jpay.com http://www.jpay.com/ . We used Visual Studio .NET as our environment, but it has tons of quirks. I love Dreamweaver MX. I know Dreamweaver MX has limited support for writing .NET apps (it has a ASP.NET toolbar for dragging and dropping some common elements), but does anyone know whether Macromedia plans more complete support such as better code-behind functionality, compile functionality, and autocomplete (for dynamically showing list of properties when you type a control name, for instance) as is of course supported for CF files? In most cases I'd say an app shouldn't try to be everything, but I think Dreamweaver MX already does an amazing job of keeping everything comprehensive and clean while still packing in tons of power - so it would rock if I could fully use it for ASP.NET so I can ditch VS.NET, and just use one application for web development (or the bulk of it, anyways). Thought I'd ask since there are a lot of people on this list very knowledgeable about Macromedia products in general. --D ### David Notik Digital202, LLC Imagination gone digital.

RE: ColdFusion Defense (WAS: OT:Yahoo moving to PHP)
It's the FAA's web development standard (I'm doing a contract for them), and is the standard for many other organizations with the need for rapid application development (although the government is far from rapid I've learned). I will say again, though, that I *know* many developers get turned off by having to type the proprietary software acronym CF all the time. It's a dumb gripe, but I've heard it before. I think they'd be happy with: %_output Instead of: cfoutput Damn geeks. :) I think the biggest concern, though, is money. Microsoft pulled its classic trick and made ASP free. PHP is truly free, and has matured enough to rival ColdFusion. I haven't had to argue it too much, but what is CF's main reason for charging anyways? Their product is well worth it, but when everyone else goes free, you have to have great reasons for charging. I usually cite: Total ease of use, extreme development speed Inclusion of verity search functionality Superb documentation What do others say? --D -Original Message- From: Matt Liotta [mailto:mliotta;r337.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 12:19 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT:Yahoo moving to PHP People talk shit about VB more than any other language. Most calling VB a toy because it is easy to create applications with. Ironically, VB is used in every Fortune 2000 company and has the largest developer base in the world mostly because of its ease of use. CF seems to suffer from the same thing. It is quite simply the easiest language to build web applications in and as such is considered a toy by some, while many Fortune 2000 companies use CF for internal web applications because of this.

I've heard people talk about having to defend ASP ( for being cryptic and not being dynamic enough -- my personal reasons for not liking it after having worked with it almost exclusively for a year ) and PHP ( for its background / history -- I have no clue what this means ). I probably can't count the number of times I've heard people refer to VB with obvious disdain -- but it still gets a lot of use. And people complain about Java being buggy or flakey with enough consistency that I can sometimes finish their sentences. I've had to defend the use of JavaScript and dhtml even in environments where it was known that the company was standardized on IE and no-one should be using the application with anything else and there was no plan to change.

Even little things like: In CF5 IIF() was half as fast as CFIF but in CFMX they run at the same speed In CFMX, doing a boolean comparison of CFIF variable is faster than CFIF variable is true or CFIF variable is 1 because the way the CF template is compiled into java makes the first a boolean operation and the others a comparison (text and numbers) operation Even if it'll only save fractions of a second, I'd like to hear of it.

SESSION scope or HIDDEN INPUTS?
Hi all: I always hear this issue discussed, and I have my own ideas, but I wanted to know what others think because I don't know that I've reached any conclusions as to what method is the best. I will not say how I do it, so as to promote unfiltered views. :-) There is an application. Users can log in to it. There are obviously variables that must persist (e.g. username, password). SESSION SCOPE If we use session variables, I always hear the argument that when it comes time to scale (i.e. a server farm), it's a headache because the session scope is server-dependant. Is this the only real reasoning behind not using the session scope? Aren't there solutions that make this a non-issue? HIDDEN INPUTS If we use hidden inputs, scalability isn't an issue, but we have to keep track of all the variables manually. We could write a control that handles this for us. But then there's the issue with timing out the session. We could solve this using some database table with some ID and timestamp of last post solution. But it gets complex. What are some of your thoughts? What is the best way to go about this? --Dave ### David Notik Digital202, LLC Imagination gone digital.

RE: Dreamweaver MX saves slowwwly
Aha! I did some testing... I am working with act_somepage.cfm. When it is the only thing open, it saves quick! But my applications are usually done Fusebox-style. So I have my index.cfm open (because I constantly add new actions). In that case, act-somepage.cfm takes a few seconds to save. Index.cfm CFINCLUDEs act_somepage.cfm -- maybe that's why the page saves slowly? Maybe DMX refreshes the index.cfm page at the same time (which, yes, has a large CFSWITCH/CFCASE).

Search functionality: Verity, LIKE operator, or what?
Hi all: I haven't posted to this list for awhile. I used to post all the time, and used to write the TipWorld ColdFusion tips many of you received. Good to be back in the mix. My question: I built a document management system of sorts. I have all the files in a directory. there's a database record for every file with fields such as: title, filename, description, keywords, and more. The filename field references the actual physical file and it's all very simple. So now I want to provide the ability to search the files. with a twist. I have a box where the user can type in keywords. I could then write a query which uses the LIKE operator many times and searches the various relevant fields for that keyword. But is that really the most efficient way? I know I could create a collection. But doesn't a collection only search the actual content of the physical files indexed in the collection? Meaning my title, description, and keywords fields (etc.) wouldn't be relevant. What do I do? That's question one. but then let's take it a step further: I have a securitytype associated with each file record, which denotes whether the logged in user has access to the file. When a user searches for files, I DO NOT want to display files he does not have access to. I can easily accomplish this using my own query (LIKE operator and a WHERE clause that only pulls records they have access to), but if I do it the verity way, is this possible? Just trying to decide the best way to go about this. I am using ColdFusion Pro MX, SQLServer 2000. --D ### David Notik Digital202, LLC Imagination gone digital.
