CFFORM - Can I start using it again?
For a long time I never used the CFFORM controls because they tended to write bloated JavaScript and non-standards compliant code. I'm now upgrading to CF7, and am looking at all the new cool things with Flash forms and XForms, which all require CFFORM. So, my basic questions are, is CFFORM safe to use again? Are people using it for non-Rich/XForm code? Is the JavaScript better? etc. etc I'm curious what people's experiences with it are.

Re: CFFORM - Can I start using it again?
Right, I'm not thinking about the server side validation, but more about the client-side validation that various CFFORM tags write (CFINPUT, CFSELECT, etc.) How does this JavaScript fare from a browser-compatibility and standards-compliance perspective? Is it the same old bloated code that CF used to write, or has it been dramatically improved?

cfcontent and ssl/https issue
I have a form that resides on an SSL site.It submits to another SSL page and after inserting the data into our SQL Server db (via cfstoredproc), it does a cfcontent to display a pdf, using the following: cfset variables.pdf_to_display = Request.fileRoot \ variables.filepath \ variables.filename cfcontent type=application/pdf deletefile=no file=#variables.pdf_to_display# In Mozilla, this works great.In IE, the user just gets a blank white screen, rather than the PDF. I've seen various postings on google groups, etc. regarding this, but no solution suggested (besides modifying a setting in IE, which is really not feasible for a public Web site).Does anyone know if there is a solution, or whether this is just a known issue? I could redirect users to a non-ssl page after the form submission, but then the user gets a security prompt...I'm not sure there's a great solution here, so if anyone has any ideas I'd greatly appreciate it.

Re: cfcontent and ssl/https issue
Hi Barney, Thanks for the suggestion.When I do that, then the user is prompted to open or save the file (and opening doesn't work - at least from IE), as opposed to simply using the acrobat plugin to open the file in the user's browser. I'd like it to function just like linking to a PDF would. Thanks, Evan Throw a CFHEADER tag in there: cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=attachment; filename=#variables.filename# / cfcontent file=#variables.pdf_to_display# type=application/pdf deletefile=false reset=true /cfabort / Not sure if that'll solve your problem, but that's how we always do it, and haven't ever had issues. cheers, barneyb On Mon, 26 Jul 2004 13:06:35 -0400, Evan Lavidor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Re: cfcontent and ssl/https issue
Nope, I'm not using any cfheader or meta tags to control caching. I've actually built a simple page that includes very little content.Even hard-coding the path to the PDF rather than building it from db values, just to limit the number of unknowns. Thanks, Evan Are you using CFHEADER NAME=cache-control VALUE=no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate or similar on the site? I found I had to overide that on document downloads to overcome what I assume is a bug in IE. Once done it worked perfectly for me. Mine is setup as barneyb noted with attachment or inline in the cfheader based on user preference for download prompts or automatic inline viewing.

Looking for a team collaboration website package
I'm on the hunt for (for a client) an off-the-shelf team collaboration website package that I can host and make minor modifications to, if necessary.

String Format option in DataSource Setup
We recently ran into a problem (CFMX, SQL 2000, Win2K) where unicode data being passed into a cfstoredproc was not getting into the db as double-byte. This was resolved (after much hunting) by checking the String Format checkbox in the advanced datasource settings for the DSNs involved. >From the CFMX documentation, one should enable this check box if your application uses Unicode data in DBMSspecific Unicode datatypes such as National Character or nchar. I'm wondering if anyone knows what is/whether there is any significant performance decrease associated with having this option enabled.There are some people I'm working with who are thinking that it'd be valuable to have this box checked on some of our DSNs that don't currently need unicode support, but may in the not-so-near future. Does anyone have any knowledge/experience with this option? Thanks very much, Evan [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Client vars won't go into the db....?
So, while most of the CF apps/sites at my office are running on CFMX, we've still got a few servers that are running CF4.5...I know how wrong this is, and we're on the path to migrate them.However, a problem has arisen that I'm wondering if anyone has any insight to: We recently changed the client variable storage from the registry to a data source - not sure why it was ever the registry to begin with :-) We've made the updates in CF admin (set up the db, the dsn, assigned it as the default client variable store), but there's no client vars being written to the db, and new ones are being written to the registry under HKLM\Software\Allaire\CurrentVersion\Clients. Does anyone have any ideas/insights here?We've restarted CF on the servers in question, and I'm sure that none of the cfapplication tags are not specifying the registry as their storage point.They're just using the default.

Problem passing empty value to cfargument if type isn't string
I've got a function inside of a CFC.One of the arguments is defined as follows: cfargument name=promoItem type=numeric required=no If the value that I pass to it is empty () then I get an error that The argument PROMOITEM passed to function processInfo() is not of type numeric. If I change the type to string, then it works great.But I don't want it to be a string.The same behavior happens with a date (passing blank string to an argument of type=date). Any ideas?This is really strange behavior to me.As CF is typeless, shouldn't it be converting the empty string to a null number - or something like that?

Re:Problem passing empty value to cfargument if type isn't string
Yeah, that's what I've ended up doing.That seems silly though, because then I have to add some code to handle a default value that I don't want. If CF is typeless, and the argument isn't required, then IMHO it shouldn't throw an error if you pass it an empty var - especially since (I believe) you can't set a variable explicitly to NULL.

Client Variables and Uniqueness in a Load-Balanced Server Environment
(Not sure if this went through yesterday in the midst of virus-related stuff, so forgive me if this is a double-post). I should know the answer to this, but I want to make sure that I'm thinking this through correctly. I have websites running on load balanced web servers (one group running CFMX, one group running CF4.5 (which won't be around much longer - it's being migrated to MX)).I want to move the client variables to a datasource instead of the registry so that we can actually start using them if we want to. I assume that all web/CF servers should be pointing to the same db for their client variable storage (my plan was to point all MX servers to one db and all 4.5 servers to a second db).This is correct, yes? If this does happen, is there a risk that two servers will generate the same CFID and CFTOKEN values for two separate users?Should I therefore be checking the Use UUID for cftoken setting in the Settings section in the CF admin (on the MX servers)?I found the following technote (http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/tn18133.htm), which I assume takes care of this problem for 4.5 servers. Any help/advice here is greatly appreciated.I've done some searching on MACR's website and while I've found some documentation on the issue, I haven't found any really clear best practices described.

About to call Macromedia Tech Support on this one...

I'm wondering if anyone has seen this error before/has any clue of where to start looking to resolve it. I've looked on TechNet and MS Support pages for the error number, but it appears to be one of Win2K's generic error messages that apply to many situations, none of which seem to apply to our environment.

Partly out of curiousity and partly out of need, I'm wondering whether anyone has any ammunition for discussions about best practices. For example, things like: 1. lock shared variables 2. prefix variables with a scope 3. select only columns you need instead of select * 4. cfscript is faster than multiple cfset statements when there's more than 3 etc. Granted, these are not hard and fast rules (except #1), but everyone seems to accept them as the best or proper way to do things.

Usage is going to be: cf_mycustomtag I'll have some text here which the tag will do something with. /cf_mycustomtag But what might be there is the following: cf_mycustomtag I'll have #variables.text# here which the tag will do something with. /cf_mycustomtag How can I get the tag to Evaulate the CF variables in between it.

RE: Questions to ask for CF developer
I don't think that plopping down a test in necessarily a mistake, it's just how you go about it. At a company at which I used to work, we had a home grown, web-based CF/Database test that we gave to interviewees. However, we told them on the phone that part of the interview process would be this test and to expect to spend about 30 minutes on it. Over time, we developed a system where they could do part of it (some inital HR related stuff) at home before even coming in, and thus allowing them to not have to spend all day with us. So, I think it's all a matter of expectations. If they come in expecting a standard interview and then get a test, then yes, I think that could put some people off. But if you tell them up front, then I think everyone will be happy. my $.02.

And these tests show exactly what? When I'm developing I've got Studio or MSDN or the web or whatever at my disposal. Is it important to memorize every parameter of every command? Or is it better to have the skills to be able to locate the needed information. When I'm interviewing someone, I start with having the person tell me what they developed. I then probe as to how and why the developed it. I also like to get a feel for design considerations. I might ask how one has handled large query results being displayed at the client or maybe some browser compatability issues etc. It's not 1998 and the supply-side of talent may rule the day, but IMHO plopping down a test is a mistake.

IsNumeric Weirdness
I asked this on CFDJList a couple of weeks ago when this list was down, and
though many tried to help out, I still just don't get it, so I wanted to see
if someone here could shed some light on the subject...
Here's the test code:
-
cfset myvariable = 3D1
cfoutput
p#IsNumeric('3D1')#/p
p#myvariable#/p
p#IsNumeric(myvariable)#/p
/cfoutput
This returns:
Yes
3D1
Yes
-
WTF?!? Shouldn't I be seeing No, 3D1, No? Is it evaluating 3D1 as a
binary or octal value of some kind? Why is it passing an IsNumeric test?
I'm running 4.5.1SP2.
Interestingly, 3A1, 3B1, 3C1, and 3F1 all fail, but 3E1 produces the same
result.
I understand in theory why 3E1 works, that's a form of scientific notation
(3x10^1 = 30), but 3D1?
Thanks,
Evan

Both permissions on the file itself as well as the GRANT permissions in MySQL. The database permissions I understood, but the file permissions I wasn't so clear on why that should be affected.

IsNumeric weirdness - can someone explain this?
Here's the test code:
-
cfset myvariable = 3D1
cfoutput
p#IsNumeric('3D1')#/p
p#myvariable#/p
p#IsNumeric(myvariable)#/p
/cfoutput
This returns:
Yes
3D1
Yes
-
WTF?!? Shouldn't I be seeing No, 3D1, No? Is it evaluating 3D1 as a
binary or hex value of some kind? Why is it passing an IsNumeric test? I'm
running 4.5.1SP2.
Interestingly, 3A1, 3B1, 3C1, and 3F1 all fail, but 3E1 produces the same
result.

that's never been to this site (and I've checked the cookies on the machine
to make sure) I'm still getting a page-based cookie set (i.e. one that
changes with every reload of the page).
How can I check if the cookie is defined or not if every time CF thinks it
is? I thought that if users had cookies disabled cfcookie simply wouldn't
do anything. Why is it setting this temporary value? I am specifying an
EXPIRES attribute, so I know it's not that...
Thanks for any insight.

Partly OT: Automating the switchover of a web site
I'm working on an existing web site that's being completely redesigned - UI, Structure, etc. etc. So, I've got the existing site and the new site in two directory trees and am close to being done with the new one. My client wants to automate the switchover of the new site such that it happens at midnight on 1 April. I'm using an NT 4 Server with IIS 4 and CF 4.5.1. Currently I'm thinking that the best bet would be to schedule a windows AT command which perhaps changed the home directory of the web site. But, I can't find this value in the registry (which would seem to be the most direct place to change it). Any ideas? Anyone dealt with this issue before? I'd prefer not to be manually swapping stuff, though I could.

RE: Parsing Street Address
As a start, if you did a Val() statement on either of your examples, it would return the street number (4853). Val() returns the first number in a string. You could then trim the original string based on the length of whatever was returned by the Val(). That's not going to account for people entering something like "One Flower Blossom Avenue". I don't see how you can handle that with functions or regex. The most accurate way is probably going to be making the form fields stricter (one field for number, one for street, etc.). I know you said you'd rather not do that, but if you want to be able to handle the data this way, it's probably your best way to ensure accurate data.

RE: Returning a variable with a custom tag
Martin, Looks like your code got clipped, but from what you're saying, here's my $.02: If your custom tag is setting a variable named "caller.output", then your calling template needs to reference that variable simply as #output#, not #caller.output#. If you want to scope it, you can set it in the custom tag as "caller.variables.output" and then reference it as #variables.output#. If that's not the problem, try reposting your code.

I'm using CF 4.0.1. Please see the code below. When I run the calling template I immediately get an error saying: "Error resolving parameter OUTPUT..." I'm calling the custom tag using the cfmodule tag. I used the debugger and verified that the return variable (called "caller.output") gets set within the custom tag.

what happens when you don't scope a variable?
I've recently been looking at someone else's code that's been handed to me, and came across the following question... In my templates, I've got my constants set as Request variables (Request.DSN, for example) in application.cfm and I reference them that way. I used to have a bunch of application variables (e.g. application.dsn) but changed this to prevent the need for locking these values. However, the code I was looking at had a bunch of unscoped variables in application.cfm (cfset DSN = "datasourcename"). So, to finally get to the question: if that's done, is the variable automatically treated as an application scoped variable, since it's set in application.cfm? Or, is the var only an application variable if it is scoped as such, and, since it isn't scoped, it's treated as a local variable (of the variables. scope but without the scope)? If the latter is true, then no problem. However, if the former is true, then there are some definite locking issues with the code I'm looking at.

Best Practice for a persistent variable
A what would/what do you do question: We are developing a site that's got some flash elements. For the non-flash people, there will be html elements that swap into those places. I'd *like* to do a flash detect and then set a variable based on the results and then do something like if flash IS 'yes' insert flash header else insert html header But, I'm concerned about what variables I can use. Here's my thinking. 1. Session variables expire, so I don't want to use those. Since I don't want to have to push a user back to a flash detect again. 2. Cookies are probably my best bet. Then I wouldn't even need to use the flash detect if they come back again. But what if someone has cookies disabled? 3. Client variables have the same problem, right?

If you use CFQUERYPARAM to make a prepared statement, you can't use CACHEDWITHIN/CACHEDAFTER with your CFQUERY tags. You'll want to determine which is more appropriate in a given case. In any case, you'll get better performance using stored procedures with SQL Server than you will with CFQUERYPARAM; Oracle, on the other hand, gets more out of prepared statements and less out of SPs than SQL Server does. True, but using CFQueryParam is a lot more secure than using just Val() How so? If your concern is that the value passed may not be numeric, both will do the same thing.

As many others have done, I'm turning to the group in the hopes that someone out there has an idea I haven't thought of. I apologize for the OT post. I'm deploying a new website for a client and we're planning on running MS SQL Server 7 as the back end.

I've located a copy of the software, but I'm trying to be legal and order the Internet Connector licenses. Unfortunately, I can only locate one. I've called MS, and they won't sell them anymore (so, if you've got a copy of SQL Server 7 that you now want to connect to the Internet, you have to order SQL Server 2000 all over again - nice, eh?).

RE: SQL Server Licensing Woes
Right. I could do that. But then I'd be paying roughly $4000 more than the cost of licensing SQL Server 7 directly, because of the new licensing model. Something I (and more importantly my client) would like to avoid.

In other words, buy SQL 2000 licenses but use them for SQL 7.0. Licenses are especially hard to deal with because it's just a piece of paper and resellers don't typically keep a lot of unsold licenses laying around. Things like this are a perfect example of why everyone should, in my opinion, emphatically protest/stop the continuation of UCITA (Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act). In the UCITA world MS could not only stop selling SQL 7 licenses but, could retract previously acquired licenses, forcing you to buy new licenses or be in violation. Not only that, it would allow a company to imbed code into its products that would allow them to remotely disable the software if you decided you didn't want the new licenses.

No offense, but that is nonsense. My Cold Fusion server is still multi-threaded and multi-processed. It is still handling every incoming request at the same time. The only time it will act "single threaded" is when two requests attempt to read an Application scope variable at the same time. And guess what? That is exactly the same thing that will happen if you DONT use automatic read locking, but properly use CFLOCK around your Application variables. Automatic read locking doesn't lock the entire page request, (which would be single threading the entire server). It locks read access around those variables that need it. This is not just an academic issue for me. I have a site running with 10-100 reads from an Application structure on every page. To make the code more readable, I am using automatic read locking for Application scope variables instead of CFLOCK#Application.myvar#/CFLOCK tens or hundreds of times on each page. On a related note, if I have automatic read locking enabled for Application scope and I assign a local Variable to an Application variable, it will essentially make a copy to the pointer.
