OT database problem
I have a zipcode table that is driving me nuts... If I open query analyzer and say SELECT * FROM zip WHERE zipcode = 'valid zipcode' I get nothing back but if I say SELECT zipcode from zip I get all the zips back and the valid zipcode from the first query is listed in there. Why cannot I not get anything with a conditional statement in there? Thanks ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: OT database problem
I'd need to see the datatype of the zipcode column as well as the content of the 'valid zipcode' variable before I could answer the question, but my guess would be that there's a discrepancy in datatype: '#validZipCode#' when it should be #validZipCode# or something like that. The datatype is nvarchar(5) the zipcode is just a simple US zipcode '81416' for example. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Help with lists and query
Sorry for all the posts on here but I only post after digging through the WACK and not finding an answer. I have a custom tag that searches for zip codes within a specified radius and then spits the results out as a list. I want to be able to use that list to search a database of advertisements to only pull the ads that might be in the zip radius. Any thoughts as to what might be easiest?

I think I have lost it and cannot seem to see the error of my ways.. Invalid CFML construct found on line 156 at column 28.

One is to set a session variable or cookie at the time they reach the confirmation page. The idea being that your form template would check for the existence of that session variable or cookie and, if found, stop them from submitting the form. Another way would be to put a timestamp on all your database records. Then, before inserting, check to see if an identical record was submitted within, say, the last half hour. This is more labor-intensive, but removes any issues with blocked cookies, proxy servers, browser caching, et. al. Obviously, if an identical record is allowed you'll need to account for that. To expand on this, you may present the user with a message that the record appears to already have been submitted and ask if they're sure they want to submit it again. There are other ways to handle it as well.

Look at the scenario of booking a flight, for example. See how many pages you have to click through trying to find a suitable flight? Enter the dates and perhaps some target times, click, wait, results come back that don't suit - change some values, click, wait, results come back that are better - select a specific flight, click, wait, make a seating choice, click, wait, click, enter passenger information etc, click, wait, realize you mistyped your address - click 'change' button, wait, correct your address, click, wait, enter credit card information, click, wait, verify order, click, wait, done. A well-designed Flash UI can break this down to a single page with pretty much instant feedback on flight times, availability, seating choices etc. The 'wait' parts of the experience are reduced to milliseconds by using direct Flash / ColdFusion calls that bring back only the data you need, instead of bringing back an entire page of HTML. Flash allows multiple panels to share the same screen real estate, sliding in and out as needed - allowing you to go back and forth in the process, making any changes you need without ever having to wait for a new page of HTML to come back from the server. A Flash UI can also cache data locally and maintain its state from invocation to invocation, again making a much better user experience than HTML can hope for.

Re: Many or Minimal CFOUTPUTS
Well you will get several opinions on what to do in this case. Since I find myself breaking my apps into small pieces and including snippets, I find the use of several better then a few. This is usually due to nesting problems with the output. another reason, is I do not like putting outputs around a bunch of HTML code as it makes things harder to understand. Performance wise, I am not sure if there is good or bad reasons not to do it one way or the other.

My contention/issue/point is that there are almost always 'better' ways to code (by better, I'm referring to more efficient). If I can be a better coder (which I know I can), I would want to know how. Yes, one can certainly pick up tidbits of information here and there (whether it be on the forums, newsgroup, this list, or any of the cf-related sites out there)...but I'm sure very few of us have the luxury of that kind of time to look (heck, we wouldn't even know what to look for). Might be nice to start a cf coding tips site...I'd be more than happy to throw a form online to collect tips from anybody who wants to enter a few (as well as a page to output them). Over time it might even become the basis for a best practices doc (maybe setting up a 'rate this tip' to see if it really is something that people have found works for them).

I just happened to pick your post to reply to because it raised a different point that I wanted to address... My bad, too, I suppose. While best practices do change from company to company / version to version etc, I think it's reasonable to say there is a more or less established but unwritten set of best practice ideas circulating. Well, I'm not quite so convinced since there seem to be so many disagreements on anything held up as 'best practice'... reasoning for that is that I hear the same ideas (e.g. use cfif x rather than cfif x neq 0) over and over. And as an example, that's one I would disagree (vehemently) with, unless 'x' is a boolean (true/false). If 'x' is genuinely boolean, then 'cfif x' is the more intentional way to write it (although 'x' is a *terrible* name for a boolean variable! :) If 'x' is an integer, then the comparison should be against zero - again, emphasizing the *intention* behind the code. With a decent compiler, there should be no speed difference - and even if there is, the readability of the code would almost always outweigh any marginal performance gain. When would I sanction using the faster code instead of the more readable code? Only when someone had proved to me that in their particular application, changing that fragment made a measurable - and significant - improvement in execution speed. I spent years doing code audits and writing coding guidelines around the world so I'm fairly passionate about this sort of thing

It's extremely hard to buy something that a company doesn't know how to sell. Of course, that's not a problem just with Macromedia. It is endemic throughout the technology industry. Pick a web site for any technology company, go there and see if you can determine 1) what they sell 2) what it does, 3) what it costs, and 4) how to buy it.

Re: More Win 232 error troubles
232 is a SQL error (The pipe is being Closed), but more likely a network problem. 109 is the same (The pipe has ended) For more info, review the following article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q109787 Douglas Brown Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: John Lucas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 11:56 AM Subject: More Win 232 error troubles If anyone can give me any insight into trouble shooting this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. I've already searched the archives, macromedia and wherever else I could to figure this one out, so I've figure out what win 232 is, I just cant seem to find what is causing it. We have three applications (public web site www.hubinternational.com, intranet, content management system) running on a win2k server, IIS 5.0, CF 5.0 with 1GB RAM and 1GHZ processor. This is running along with a dual processor win2k SQL7 server with 1 GB RAM. In the past three weeks, the applications have begun to have performance issues. The execution times for the pages are always about the same and minimal. However, the sites are getting intermittingly hung up. A sample of 5 minutes or so will routinely get you hung up. Then, at other times, it is smooth sailing. I can't pin it down to any one thing. There are no session/application/server variables being utilized. Client variables are stored in the SQL server. I have been fighting with this on and off over the past three weeks and can not seem to resolve the issue. In the coldfusion server log, there are an increasing amount of Win 232 and Win 109 errors. I have searched and read much of what I could find on the various lists about these errors as well as the Macromedia tech notes. Unfortunately, I can not seem to find the cause or at least remedy it. I have checked the application log and have not found anything unusual there that correlates with the server log threads. CF is set up limit simultaneous requests to 5. Timeout after 75 seconds Restart at 3 unresponsive requests These applications were running smoothly until recently and there have been no major code revisions. If anyone has experienced the same issue and would be willing to share there resolution or anything else that might be helpful (or even not helpful), I would greatly appreciate hearing it.

Well cost of development will depend alot upon who is doing the development. I look at Flash development just as I look upon coding in CF. You make user interfaces and modules for the application and break them apart into snippets that can be used elsewhere in the application. If component x is done properly, then that same component can be used elsewhere with only a small modification. You cannot expect someone who is a beginner in flash to be able to do this though, and in order for a company to say We want flash they will need a experienced and seasoned veteran in order to keep the cost down.

Re: Does Macromedia have some current strong Flash agenda?
I agree with that completely!! Usually a developer thinks alot differently than what a designer would. I know very few developers with design skills. I can usually see what looks good, and can come up with a great looking interface, but the time it takes me to do it is 10 times longer than it would take someone with flair for design.

That's my point... Flash developers. I'm talking about the need for Flash / CFMX developers to be _1_ person. This isn't necessary. I'm probably never going to be proficient with Flash, but I can work with a Flash developer right now to build the back-end for a Flash front-end. And this strengthens my original point, I think - most web developers (most developers, in any category, I imagine) aren't especially good at designing usable interfaces.

Re: Does Macromedia have some current strong Flash agenda?
Honestly that is the way I think it should be on the back-end of things for flash. If you had components that followed suite with CF then it would be alot more usable for folks like us. As far as the animations and stuff is concerned, that would have to remain the same, but dropdowns and the like should be a little more developer friendly.

Re: Passing multiple values back from popup?
You will need to use js to do it.
Basically,
in your popup window you will put a script in like so
script
function writeResults(){
opener.document.formName.fieldName.value = document.formName.fieldName.value;
window.close();
}
and then call the function in your submit button

loginid is not declared in the application page.
cflock scope=session type=readonly timeout=10
cfset loggedin = YesNoFormat(IsDefined(session.loginid))
/cflock
cfif not loggedin
cfinclude template=loginform.cfmcfabort
/cfif
I'm not sure what you're doing here, but you could do:
cflock scope=session type=readonly timeout=10
cfif not IsDefined(Session.LoginID)
cfinclude template=loginform.cfm
[Put your various closing stuff here /body /html
etc,
if not in your loginform.cfm file.]
cfabort
/cfif
/cflock
If you put this code (and the login code) in your application.cfm file,
it
will run on every page, protecting each.

Re: Quick MCSE Certification options
That sucks...I also am in that kinda boat, I spent 6 years in a computer operations management position and know my stuff where a computer is concerned, but it seems like everyone is asking for a cert. In the years that I was hiring technicians and such, I found that people that were not certified were better qualified for the job and knew more, than the ones who were (Book smart does not mean computer literate). I therefore had not found a reason to go take a test. Today I find out that I was eliminated from a great job due to not being certified...ARG you would figure that real world experience would count for something.

I think that I see the problem that you are having. My explanation may seem overly simple at first, but bear with me. Session variables are stored on the CF server. A given set of session variables is tied to a given user by two key values: CFID, and CFTOKEN. These values are sent to your machine as cookies when you access any page on the server. Now, as long as you are accessing the server from that machine, and as long as you have cookies enabled and don't replace them, the session variables will stay set for the default expiration time (which is probably set to something like 2 hours in your CF Administrator). So, the reason that you're getting weird behavior is that session.initialized is staying set for at least 2 hours from the time you first hit that page during a given day. This makes testing really hard, right? I think that your application is set up properly, but you are having trouble testing it. I recommend this: Create a page called wipeout.cfm or something that erases all the cookies and session variables that you don't want to keep. I keep a link to this on the link bar in IE, so that I can return to regular user state whenever I need to. The statements you'll need are: CFCOOKIE expires=NOW name=COOKIENAME value=invalid CFLOCK scope=SESSION timeout=30 type=EXCLUSIVE CFSET dummy=StructClear(session) /CFLOCK Repeat the CFCOOKIE line for as many cookies as you need to erase. The CFSET statement will wipe out all session variables in one shot. Also, your test for the value of Session.Initialized should not be for it's value, but for its existence: CFIF not IsDefined(Session.Initialized) CFLOCATION... This should let you test your system without pulling your hair out at what seems like completely inconsistent behavior. Now, however, I want to make sure that you aren't going for something different than what I think. I want to map out a path of use and how it would work under your current layout (assuming a two-hour expiration time for session variables): July 27th 10:15 AM User opens www.yahoo.com 10:17 AM User opens your site (www.yoursite.com/mySecondPage.cfm) She gets bounced to the splash page, since session.initialized wasn't set yet. still 10:17 AM(later in that minute) User returns to www.yoursite.com/mySecondPage.cfm, which now is allowed to completely load, since session.initialized is now set. 10:18 AM After looking at www.yoursite.com/mySecondPage.com, user is so wowed that she goes for a stroll to contemplate the meaning of life. Since the work is super-duper high security, though, she immediately closes the browser and shuts down her computer. 12:17 PM User has returned from her walk, ready to surge forward with her work. She has already turned on her machine, logged in, and launched IE. She promptly goes to the page that inspired this (nearly!) two-hour sojourn: www.yoursite.com/mySecondPage.com. That page will load WITHOUT going to the splash page. Why? Because session.initialized has still not expired (although it's one minute away from doing so), and the CF server knows to look for it under the CFID and CFTOKEN values stored on your user's machine. 12:18 PM User decides that she is no longer so wowed by your page, and immediately browses to www.someothersite.com. She stays away from your site until 4:01 PM. 4:01 PM User once again types in www.yoursite.com/mySecondPage.com. This time, she gets bounced to the splash page. Why? Because the two-hour session variable has expired. If this is the behavior you want, then you're all set.

Well, it depends on if they are opening a new window from inside the current application, or if they are opening a new browser window alltogether...If it is a new browser window, then a new CFID and CFTOKEN pair will be generated.

I haven't touched MX yet CF succeeded on its ease of use and simple syntax... other 'real' programming fails for its complexity, cost to implement, longer debugging, etc. If CF is moving towards all need to compile complex operations and code, it will fail. Its not a matter of technical proficiency of the code writers.. its more of the needs of the people and why they chose CF thru version 5. They tend to be understaffed solutions, small or no teams, small budgets, needs that are impossible versus the deadline... on average... CF is also attainable so of course a good number of newbies and such...

Re: Setting and evaluating session variables
P.S You also need to use locks on all your session varsJust to be on the safe side, and adhere to best coding practices etc...If you are not already doing so.

I think that I see the problem that you are having. My explanation may seem overly simple at first, but bear with me. Session variables are stored on the CF server. A given set of session variables is tied to a given user by two key values: CFID, and CFTOKEN. These values are sent to your machine as cookies when you access any page on the server. Now, as long as you are accessing the server from that machine, and as long as you have cookies enabled and don't replace them, the session variables will stay set for the default expiration time (which is probably set to something like 2 hours in your CF Administrator). So, the reason that you're getting weird behavior is that session.initialized is staying set for at least 2 hours from the time you first hit that page during a given day. This makes testing really hard, right? I think that your application is set up properly, but you are having trouble testing it. I recommend this: Create a page called wipeout.cfm or something that erases all the cookies and session variables that you don't want to keep. I keep a link to this on the link bar in IE, so that I can return to regular user state whenever I need to. The statements you'll need are: CFCOOKIE expires=NOW name=COOKIENAME value=invalid CFLOCK scope=SESSION timeout=30 type=EXCLUSIVE CFSET dummy=StructClear(session) /CFLOCK Repeat the CFCOOKIE line for as many cookies as you need to erase. The CFSET statement will wipe out all session variables in one shot. Also, your test for the value of Session.Initialized should not be for it's value, but for its existence: CFIF not IsDefined(Session.Initialized) CFLOCATION... This should let you test your system without pulling your hair out at what seems like completely inconsistent behavior.

Since the work is super-duper high security, though, she immediately closes the browser and shuts down her computer. 12:17 PM User has returned from her walk, ready to surge forward with her work. She has already turned on her machine, logged in, and launched IE. She promptly goes to the page that inspired this (nearly!) two-hour sojourn: www.yoursite.com/mySecondPage.com. That page will load WITHOUT going to the splash page. Why? Because session.initialized has still not expired (although it's one minute away from doing so), and the CF server knows to look for it under the CFID and CFTOKEN values stored on your user's machine. 12:18 PM User decides that she is no longer so wowed by your page, and immediately browses to www.someothersite.com. She stays away from your site until 4:01 PM. 4:01 PM User once again types in www.yoursite.com/mySecondPage.com. This time, she gets bounced to the splash page. Why?

They allow anyone to submit content that is approved, rated, and commented on by the community. They have a vast tip database that is fed from their mailing lists.

Subject: problems with evaluate and punctuation characters
I've had some code that's been working fine until someone decided to start
adding dashes to some of the key field codes.
Here's the code on the action page:
cfloop index=doc list=#form.check#
cfquery name=addtorec datasource=docs
insert into tblemployee_train(employeeno,fullfileid,deptcode,dateadded)
values(#evaluate('form.empid' doc)#,'#evaluate('form.fullfileid'
doc)#','#evaluate('form.deptcode' doc)#',#Now()#)
/cfquery
/cfloop
Now when it hits the action page code above with a deptcode selected that
contains a dash, I get this error upon processing:
Error Occurred While Processing Request
Error Diagnostic Information An error occurred while evaluating the
expression: #evaluate('form.empid' doc)# Error near line 17, column 9.
An error has occurred while processing the expression:
form.empid40063GI30003GIXXX-XX
Error near line 1, column 28. Error resolving parameter
FORM.EMPID40063GI30003GIXXX The specified form field cannot be found. This
problem is very likely due to the fact that you have misspelled the form
field name. The error occurred while processing an element with a general
identifier of (#evaluate('form.empid' doc)#), occupying document position
...
All of the field names and values look fine when debugging is on, so it has
something to do with that evaluate command and how it parses it out.
Anyone had a similar problem? What can I do to fix it other than inform my
end users they can't use dashes? Thanks a bunch to anyone that can answer
this!! (CF 4.5 by the way).
