RE: Session Vars and cfquery - cflock where?

2002-03-15 Thread Elizabeth Walter

You can always localize your session variable like this:





You can use the local variable myLocalVar in your query.  That way you don't
have to lock large chunks of code.

Gotcha.  Interesting solution- I wouldn't have thought to do it that way.
I'll give it a shot!

Thanks a lot,

Subject: Re: Rotating banners


i've done this by using time.  it's kind of 2 fold.

Weight 6
ad1,ad2,ad3,ad4

weight 3
ad5, ad6, ad7, ad8

-I'd assign the "weight" of each banner before hand.
-Grab the last digit in the seconds of the current time.
-Display an ad from the weight group that corresponds w/ the time integ
er

i.e.
if the last digit in the time was 6 it would display an ad w/ a weight 
of 6
or higher and if it was 3 it'd display ads from the 3 weight group.

if i wanted an ad to have a chance of being displayed 70% of the time i
'd
set it to weight 3.

make sense?  i would actually like to see a cleaner way of doing but th
at
works.

Rotating banners

2002-03-05 Thread Elizabeth Walter

Hello-

I am developing a banner rotating tool and need some ideas on how to best
handle a requirement.  I have gotten the tool to a point where it displays
banners randomly- no problem.  Now what I need to do is give certain banners
more "weight" than others:  some banners need to be displayed more
frequently than the rest.  The code that I have below gives equal weight to
each banner; I need to find a way to give some banners more prevalence on
our pages.













SELECT 
i.*, 
a.advert_name
FROM 
images i, advertiser a
WHERE 
i.id = #activeBanners[randomId]# and
i.advert_id = a.advert_id



Any ideas?  

Thanks in advance,
Elizabeth

I haven't run across this error before.
On my form I have this:
Logo:


Which allows for me to upload a file. I basically click Browse and find 
the
image.

The action page has:





Well I am getting an error on that that says:
Message Error in CFFILE tag Type UNKNOWN Detail The form field 
specified in
the CFFILE tag 
(LogoFileName) does not contain an uploaded file. Please be sure that 
you
have specified the correct form field name.

Yet I am choosing a file on the form page. Any idea what would be 
causing
this NOT to work? I have never
see this problem before.
