RE: Macromedia Folks: What are you thinking?
Christine Thanks for the response. I guess my own reply would be to back-up what Dave (Hannum) has just posted - with the fact that why should I upgrade all my developers to DWMX when I'm already having to upgrade my designers to FLASHMX? It will "confuse" them into thinking that they should be "designing" (yeah I know it's an over-simplification and a little rude to my coder staff, but the point is...) when I pay five people to design for them. For pure coders/developers why not extract "HomeSite+" from DWMX - as CF Coder MX - CFStudioMX or whatever - and get us "coders" to pay for it... I'm sure fiscally MM will make more money this way (if that's the bottom line)... I know I will be happier to part with a 10x(plus)$150 dollar upgrade for this than for DWMX J -Original Message- From: Christine Lawson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 17:21 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Macromedia Folks: What are you thinking? Hi Guys, I see your points, in my reply I didn't actually mean "get use to it", I more meant to say lets get some concrete feedback and I'll pass it on internally and you should pass it on through our web site. The thing is, I can't go and change Dreamweaver MX today to include the Windows explorer extension we had in Studio. BUT, if we can get all of your feedback organized and in more of a technical format (as Michael is also suggesting), then I can certainly pass it on and maybe we can get some of these features added in the future or through Dreamweaver extensions (note, I know nothing about these so I may be off on that one!). With Chris's point about being "leftovers", that really makes me sad and concerned. I have been very excited in the past few weeks with the preview release of CFMX, I think it's a very cool release and that's me personally - not because I work for MM. I can definitely see your point with training, the only suggestion I would have is to maybe use HomeSite + which has CFMX tag support. Then you'll have Dreamweaver MX and maybe you could ease your employees into it by doing the included tutorials in Help and on our site? That's just a quick off the top of my head idea - understand if it's not realistic :) Back to the point of being leftovers... just so you know, I actually watch this list and others, plus the Forums (this includes HomeSite) and then I pass on what I'm seeing from you guys - I'm not the only one who does this, Vernon does too. I even write a weekly report on what you guys are saying, we are seriously listening and we (because I'm from the CF community) are not leftovers. Keep in mind this is really the first round of our companies working together and combining the technologies, imagine what we can do with future releases - especially with your feedback.

Christine, I won't try to talk for everyone here however, as a developer who spends more time in code then in the look and feel part of a web page, I an see why everyone is getting a little rude here. We as Cold Fusion developers have enjoyed a relationship with Allaire that made us feel as if we were extremely valued, because we were. We were the primary (or at least influencers to the primary) source of revenue for allaire. Now, Allaire is no more. Macromedia has come in and apparently shifted that view. No longer are the coders paramount but rather the desktop publishers/graphic artist types. Now you (Macromedia) drop our favorite tool, replace it with something that is more geared to the WSYIWYG-S editor types and we are left in the cold. On top of that, in this thread alone, your replies have been more like "get used to it" rather then "let us see what we can do to fix this situation". We are not used to that. Hell, if I were to imply that to my customers, I would be fired. Which brings me to my point. It appears at first glance that the old group of developers are no longer your customer, we are just leftovers. You are hitting people in their sense of security even if it is only perception and saying or doing nothing to make us feel different. We are discussing details on an IDE, which by itself is somewhat benign, but if you look at the overall attitude (and perceived direction) of Macromedia, you should be able to easily see why we are getting a bit worried and/or frustrated with the situation.

RE: IIS 5 to Apache
The key thing you have to remember is that *nix systems are case sensitive, whereas *dose systems are not. Make sure that if you are linking to a page saved as (for example) Index.cfm - that you call it href="Index.cfm" as "index.cfm" will fail. Best to keep all file names lowercase - except Application.cfm that has to have a capitalised "A". Apache install is slightly more complex than IIS - you may need to manually type in certain code into the appache httpd.conf - but if you have problems then re-post. You will probably find your biggest problems will be data-sources. Unless you have an enterprise license you will need to port all your db stuff to a *nix friendly data software.

I hadn't heard of CF Enterprise. Hence the question "Does CF have an equivalent?". If I ever get to code in CF again I'll have to look into that. I don't know what it is you don't get, but as a part-time telecommuter, I prefer not to have to rely on a remote server while developing. As for using the web site on the laptop, the application contains a lengthy survey that relies on skip-logic; not something we would want to do over in another format (gets expensive). I have no interest in debating whether or not it's 'fair' that ASP is free. For the young beginner or hobbyist, it's may be the only affordable option to get started!

What I don't get it. PWS is a web server. Sure ASP is built in, but you can get a FREE Developer version of CF Enterprise and it can work in conjunction with PWS. Where's the problem here? 2. Again if you install the free version of CF on the laptop I doubt this would be an issue. Though I question having an entire web application on a laptop. If anything I would have given them the information they needed in another form and made life easier to upload data to the rest of the application. Sure you pay for CF, but we already knew this. Not everyone can have 75% of the world's desktop so they can just offer things for free. I don't see why you can't program CF in a word processor, matter of fact a lot of my debugging is on notepad when I am offsite. Sure I love CF Studio, but it is in no means required.

However, ASP does have the advantage of PWS. Does CF have an equivalent? I started out with ASP, then used CF for two years, and now I'm using ASP again. I'm not ecstatic about it, but I have found a couple of advantages: 1. Thanks to PWS, if I want to work from home, I can just copy the ASP site to my home computer. With CF I had to work across a cable connection which slowed things down a bit. Of course, I have to access the database over the network either way, but the web files can be retrieved and saved faster with PWS. 2. One of our web sites is not only used by people on-line, but also by field personnel who use laptops, and have to upload and download data. Thanks to PWS and MSDE, they will be able to use the same ASP pages as the on-line users, while using DTS to transfer data back and fourth. In a similar situation with CF, we had to develop a separate Access application for the field team members. Some other more obvious advantages is that ASP is free and can be developed in a simple word processor, if need be. Microsoft is also a huge name, whether you like them or not, and it doesn't hurt to know how to user their technology. Marianne Daye Programmer/Analyst -

It's worth noting, though, that there can be quite a bit of variation between one flavor of Unix and another, and MM has been pretty conservative about what's a supported configuration. There'll be more concern for getting other flavors of Unix/Linux on Intel supported, I think, before anyone at MM cares to support OS X. For an idea of how complex these issues can get, check out the archive for the cf-linux list. Also, I'm not sure whether you can just take binaries from other platforms and run them on OS X. I suspect not - Mac processors are big-endian and Intel processors are little-endian (or is it the other way around - I can never remember), so you probably can't just run the Linux version in compatibility mode, like I suggested a minute ago.

Dave, at the end of the day it boils down to semiology - ye may as well call them ducks and dogs - we differ our billing around whether someone could (for example) buy a magazine, install a free dreamweaver trial and build a web page (duck/coder/muppet/whatever) and someone who can write (for example) a unique bespoke application built in Java and plugged in as a CFX Applet (dog/programmer/guru/whatever-plus-plus) - therefore we bill "coder" work as work that involves formatting, authouring, using describing "code" and we bill "programming" as work that involves an understanding of well formed programming languages - hence my argument that those people coming to Fusebox from a "page formatting" history will find it harder to understand and adopt that those who come to Fusebox from an Object Oriented history :) J -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 17:07 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: What's the difference between a coder and a programmer?? > Coder = Someone who can work predominately with Mark Up languages coder != someone who can work with markup languages That's not coding.

RE: Fusebox pros and cons
Can open, worms all over the floor! IMHO - Fusebox is a methodology with a lot of dedicated followers - if you come to CF from a "coders" background it's very rare for you to adopt fusebox (unless you are first taught this way), however if you come to CF from a "programmers" background you will take to fusebox like a java built duck to object oriented water. Advantages: 1) re-use your code (build something once, then plug it in again and again to each of your solutions) - reuse code in a O-O style. 2) work by piece rate (farm out whole sections of your product and have people in sweat shops work over "fuses" for you while never being able to see the whole picture) - remote and rapid component development 3) build the bricks first then make rooms then slot the rooms together (build a site completely before you even put it together) - rapid component development and site building. Disadvantages: 1) Non-linear development structure (hard to get your head around if you build sites "organically" from seed to flower - fusebox seems like DNA level work - where you can build the flower first then get around to the seed.) 2) Needs very good documentation to follow (very hard to "fix" an error in a site if you weren't responsible for boxing all the fuses - really depends on how well the site was built along the fb guidelines) 3) Hard to re-train if you're not a programmer - we've got 8 CF developers world-wide working for us and only two of them use FB - both of these come from hard-core programming backgrounds, others have tried and given up - FB is a lifestyle choice and not just for Christmas!

RE: suggestion on complicated form design.
If you need all the fields filled then whatever you do you should "enforce" entry (handy also to have the old html * next to each "required" field). How you build the form depends on your target audience - younger users will not want to "enter" 12 names on one form as it will involve "scrolling" - whereas they like "clicking" - which means it may be better to create a "submit/add another" forced march path - which shows them "one" form but allows them (after their first entry) to just "submit" what they have or fill out another form and "submit another" - which in turn builds up the query - once you get to the "submit final" choice display the full entries on one page with an option for them to edit the fields HTH J -Original Message- From: Jeff Fongemie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 15:50 To: CF-Talk Subject: suggestion on complicated form design.

I will need to enforce the age and sex requirement of each name listed. Option 1. Build a form with lots many fields for name, age and sex. Once submitted, check for a value in the name field, then check for a value in the age and sex field. If there is a value in a name field, and no age or sex fields, give them the form back to fix.

RE: NT authentication
OK - you are gonna have to do two things here - the first is to make sure that NT logins are attached to specific IP addresses - so that when a user logs in to their machine there's an NT/IP match. Secondly you will have to create a "set-up" screen so that the "first time" they look at the Intranet they get a log-in screen doorway. Use this initial "set-up" scenario to create an NT/IP password cookie on that machine - so that after this first stage they will not have to log-in again if their NT/IP cookie pair matches. However if they log-into another machine their should not be a matching NT/IP cookie set for that user which will "force" them to "set-up" again... Etc.

RE: Visual Equation Building
CF + FLASH would/could work in theory - the "visual" system would have to
have symbols (flash term) for each character/symbol you needed (perhaps with
a scrolling up/down sort of fly-wheel system of choosing them) - which could
then be "dragged and dropped" onto a "math page" - this would trigger an
event that would append the associated character/symbol to each symbol into
a variable - this variable string (xml string) could be added to and
subtracted from (with an eraser tool that would "undo" the last move) -
which in turn would be stored to a file/database when the equation if
completed.
Things to look out for would be translation of special characters/symbols
(e.g. *,%,{,[ etc) as this would effect the ActiveScript (AS) - so perhaps a
codex that used a number based system that could be translated from the
xml/data string on saving the equation.
Secondly you would have to work it so that "picking up" a symbol and
dropping it on the "math page" would trigger a one off event - if the very
same symbol was then picked again and moved around the page then dropped
again this should not trigger the character/symbol appending function. Also
is a similar symbol (another "x" for example) was then picked up and dropped
on the "math page" the AS would have to realise this.
Thirdly you would not be able to "save" the visual product though - with the
placement of all the symbols on the "maths page" so that when a user came
back they would have to re-build each equation - unless another complex
logic was used in creating both x,y co-ordinates and saved these too in an
array Getting complex now...
What you are talking about here is a very complex integration system -
perhaps a java applet may be better...
Interesting concept tho.
Good luck

RE: someone want to help me?
Three stage process: 1. secure connection to enter info (card details) - either unique or third party vendor 2. checking system - either unique or third party vendor 3. paying system - either unique or third party vendor The best "solution" for a simple fix is to go with a third party vendor who will supply the SSL (secure connection), card checking system and payment system - of course this all comes at a fee... Depends on the vendor but usually around 2-4%. Good CF "friendly" easy to use solution is WORLDPAY... The "unique" solution is a longer term set-up and will still cost, but depends on what you want, it will involve getting an SSL (verity 128 bit encryption software) and dedicated IP address for it to sit on. It also involves getting hold of a internet card checking facility (usually supplied by a bank or card provider - you need to check on this as it's different for us in the UK) - you also will need an Internet Merchant account with a bank in order to make payments online to your account - via a system like ePDQ (Barclays in the UK for example) - again tho this will cost a percentage of the transaction and most of the companies that offer this service will expect a base rate return.

RE: problem with images
Had a similar problem with cfx_graph recently - got round it by using a java ap instead, but did look into the problem - sometimes the server will "lock" a file/s in a queue - I created a tool that created a new "graph" based on variables then updated this as and when, but when you went back to change the variables it deleted the old graphs - this would work 3 times out of 4, but the 4th would throw an error and all we could do was "wait". The two solutions we came up with (until using a dynamic java ap instead) was: 1) schedule a cleanup.cfm page to run at night that cleans the temp image folder of all images created during the day. 2) create a log-out sub-routine or session-end sub-routine that moves/deletes the temp files.

RE: PWS on ME
coming in on the end of this thread here, but it is possible to run PWS on Win ME (after spending over 8 hours researching and installing the thing!) The best scenario for this is to have CF and PWS on win 98 and "upgrade" to ME - which then seems to run OK - if you have to start from scratch then there are a couple of updates to the PWS install you have to get to make it run OK - with the correct procedure it will take you a good 1 to 2 hours to install it properly! The best "get-around" is to install the other services first ONLY, then re-boot and install the PWS server, ect, THEN reboot and install CF server. Alternately - depending on whether you want to run ASP and CFM or not - use apache - which is v. stable on ME. Either way, if you need further help then email me off list.

RE: CF 4.5 and SourceSafe
Yup - knew that :) What I meant to imply was if Percy is using VSS within a development environment (using the "roll-back" ideology) purely to protect his build from external/part-time developers coming in and changing code (i.e. breaking it) - it may be easier to implement the working build practice of fusebox instead. And instead of "breaking" development work and having to "roll-back" to previous working versions - if he developed a "working" version of something he could re-use that code (aka fusebox). However, implementing VSS from scratch really depends on the development environment that Percy uses - if he already has a "dev" intranet site (for example) and his designers/developers are using this to build sites within then implementing VSS on top of that platform would mean a HUGE change of developmental practice, such as checking out versions of files for either local station development then checking them back in after working on them, or replacing his "dev" infra-structure with the lockable source safe/project scenario. If he's thinking of using VSS in the above light, it may be better (less money/working practice changes) to simply use a fusebox approach to development, combined with the use of projects within studio and back-ups of working folders - just a suggestion anyway... but, of course, being the lazy sod that I am I simply wrote 'instead'... ;) J -Original Message- From: Thomas Chiverton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 July 2001 16:23 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CF 4.5 and SourceSafe > Depending on what working methodology you have "in-house" - > it may be better > to use something like (Hal forgive me!) fusebox instead - aarg! ;-) Of course, you relise that fusebox is an application building methodology, and source safe is a way to protect you files, and therefore, 'instead' doesn't apply ? ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Fusebox
IMHO - there are two schools of thought on Fusebox - those that use it and those that don't. I know from experience that CFers who have had scripting/programming backgrounds tend to take to it more than those who have coding/no background. It's a working practice methodology and as such can be helpful if you use a lot of coders on the same projects or your staff has a high turn-around. We have over 10 Cfers in-house here and we do not use Fusebox - mainly because it's a working practice that would disrupt the way the majority of our staff work - however it's a way of reusing code (a write-once use anywhere approach to CF - a little "OO"). At the end of the day it's a matter of opinion - those who use LOVE it, those who don't LIVE anyway!

RE: Your site's easy to navigate? You Think so?
Kola, as I said earlier - the quickest short cut to this is to download Lynx (text only flavour browser) (http://lynx.browser.org/) - as this will act as a "text" reader (which is how voice browsers work in effect - they usaully read out from top let across the page to top right, then down a line, etc) - if you can navigate a website with Lynx (which is free) then a voice browser *should* work too - if you can't navigate a site with Lynx then a voice browser will DEFINATELY not work. Which is a starting point. Secondly, if it "works" on Lynx then run bobby over it to generate a report that will give you errors in order of preference. The WAI guidelines are just that - in that they suggest a minimum methodology, but also suggest a tiered approach to development. If you are interested in this methodology also try doing some research on the web about it - as a starter use something like Betsie (created back in 1998 in collaboartion between the BBC and the RNIB in the UK) which is a free tool that creates "text" only versions of sites. If you don't want the hassle of re-training youself or your staff into creating hand code, etc. that is WAI compliant then use lynx - bobby - betsie (all are free) as a road map in checking, testing, creating a text only version of a site - then add a link to the text only version at the top-left first code on every page of your site/s - it's a crude but working methodology - when creating a site in CF that is template/dynamicly driven you can also bear in mind these issues - we pull all our content in from flat text/html formatted pages then depending on global variables set display the text with a graphic or non-graphic wrapper.

RE: Your site's easy to navigate? You Think so?
You should take a look at bobby and the WAI guide. Bobby is a collaboration project between (amongst others) SUN microsystems and Microsoft (gasp!) (http://www.cast.org/bobby/) - you can either download the java based tool or use the website to check a website you have built for accessibility, while the WWW Consortioum have been working on the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) since the mid nineties (http://www.w3.org/WAI/) which gives web designers guidelines as how to build sites. The key to designing sites for accessibility is to allways offer an alternative - in that if you have a flash site, then do it in plain html, if you have a graph then write a description of the data on a seperate page and add the link to it next to the image, etc. Always use alt tags and never use frames. From the outset it can take a while to get into the working practice of designing for accessibility, but once you take into consideration the guide (above) and test you sites then their should not be a problem - as a guide also get hold of Lynx the text only browser and check you site/s on this too (for as a rule of thumb that is how voice browsers will "read" you site) - if you can't navigate your site with Lynx then a blind user will never be able to use you site.

RE: best search
Sure - for v. big sites I have used AltaVista (www.dfee.gov.uk for example) and this is coolio - if I was to do it again though I would probably use Atomz.com stuff - for various reasons. Rationale for splitting full address into 3 parts: 1) Holding one url field means that you may as well use the default verity url param - but this does not allow for the inclusion of template page build variables. 2) Split the url into file name and variable includes means that if you have variable includes on a template you can include them (e.g. you have everything in you site coming through index.cfm with a menu variable and a content variable) - so index.cfm would default to the base menu and content, while links from this page would include alternate menus and content - e.g. index.cfm?menu=search&content=sitemap would use the base template, pull in the "search" menu (with relative sub-section options) and the sitemap content (check out www.connexionscard.gov.uk for an example of this) 3) there are some cases however when you may need a pre-variable (such as the javascript example I gave earlier - hence the 3 way split We are familiar with MSSQL Full Text Search, but it did not rock our world Key, custom1, etc is fine, but the pages/text content do not hold the relative include variables we need when building a nested template site (see above break-down). sorry I can't be of more help though J -Original Message- From: Michael Lugassy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 May 2001 11:59 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: best search My problem is that I'm already have 300mb of textual content.

RE: best search
OK - verity searches *best* on text files - and I gather you will be
creating a collection of text files - but you have to consider the "display"
of the content (i.e. to send the searcher to the correct page with the
correct formatting) - what we have done historically is this five stage
process:
1) create a verity collection in the server administrator
2) write a local "indexing" page that takes the collection and compiles it
with the correct url/ path functions. (in this case we usually have our
website road mad in mind - with section1.cfm text files in section1 folder,
section2.cfm text files in section2 folder, etc.)
3) create a search assist table with the following variables in:
a) id - unique ref
b) front - any front path you may need (e.g.
"section1/section1.cfm?var=1" would be held as "section1/" here)
c) middle - the search/clipped variable - used for cross checking
with verity url results - (e.g. "section1/section1.cfm?var=1" would be
"section1" here
d) end - any end variables or includes you may need for that page
(e.g. "section1/section1.cfm?var=1 would be ".cfm?var=1" here)
e) title - title of page to show in result output
4) write a search/results page which takes the search query and passes it
through the verity collection - to bring back the #url# variable - strips
the last "4" characters and everything before the last "/" which gives you a
clipped variable - then select content from the search assist table which
holds the clipped variable in the middle column - output this result (using
the full #front##middle##end# as the path)
5) write a cfschedule that re-indexes the collection at 2am (usual down time
for server)
This above methodology allows you to (for example) use JavaScript pop-up in
your output (e.g.
href="javascript:(displayPopUp('section1/section1.htm',400,600)" where front
var = "javascript:(displayPopUp('section1/", middle var = "section1" and end
var = ".htm',400,600)", etc. - it's by no means the fastest method - as you
have to query the verity collection AND then query the sql table (use
blockfactor=100 here though) - but it's the most comprehensive if you have a
complex structure to your website - as it allows for pre/and post variables
to be added to the result url path (which other searches won't allow).
We use a similar methodology on a collection/site of 40mb and the average
results page would come back within 1265 milliseconds (which is chuggy)
In answer to your other query - yes the AltaVista is a server based search.

"As a rule of thumb "use the right tool for the job", don't just use a tool

This is probarbly the best sentence I've heard this week! (come to think of
it, it's only monday.. :)
I asked for help and got it, but actually more questions arises, I'll try to
describe them:
1. the content would be txt and pure ASCII text only! actually I just
finished the mechanisem
which takes the html files from all of the sites I want to search in and
then remove
all html tags/javascript codes and stuff.
2. how much is considered BIG in the "lite" version of verity? 100mb, 200mb
of content?
that's about the amount I have.
3. verity would be great for me to display the data more efficient along
with CF tags. I know
CF, I know verity is easy to use, but I know they MUST be slower then
Microsoft Solutions.
(BTW: IS THERE ANY DIFFRENCE?, MS Search =SQL Full text?)
what will be the best way to go if:
I want the search to be as fast as possible YET:
1. I need an easy way to get the results to good-looking HTML format.
2. and maybe an easy way to still incorporate CF tags.
my database design is as follows:
uID = url ID
uLINK = full url location (i.e http://www.cftalk.com/whatis/cf.html)
uCONTENT = txt content I fetched from the site earlier?
do I actually need to save this data in tables or can I just search directly
on the txt files?
And final note: you mentioned Altavista engine - do they offer server search
engines too?
Thanks alot guys!! you'll be the first to run the search queries on my
engine :)

RE: best search
It really depends on how your content is being displayed - if it's flat-file then Verity is OK - if it's a combination of SQL and Verity then pass your query through both database and verity, if it's all sql held then rely on sql/verity collections (faster than plain sql requests), however database searches will depend on how often the data is to be updated. A quick rule we use for template based sites is verity index the flat file content, then build a "link" database with file names and page titles in which is used to display the url links to the content (your option 2). However, saying the above the main downfall of Verity is that it takes a f*** load of time to index large amount of pages and the collections can become corrupt - so it may be worthwhile using something else completely different (AltaVista supply a free search engine as do Lycos and Atomz). What you have to remember is Verity with CF is a "lite" version and as such is not too hot on larger sites.

What few hosting companies that have been willing hitherto to support Cold Fusion will surely do so no longer if the new pricing schema is at it would appear to be. Service providers of all types are used to getting things for free - Linux, Apache, Sendmail etc.., and premium charges for CF are hardly going to encourage service providers in general to consider actually paying for a server side application. I have to say - this is extremely myopic of Macromedia (subject to seeing the full details) - it will push developers who may have been waivering to ASP/PHP etc., and other free middleware. I still firmly believe that the best strategy would be to make CF Server free, and focus on marketing development tools to a much wider audience as a result. I think the Netscape browser is a good parallel - they had to make it free and open source to encourage people to use the portal. No one will pay for browsers anymore than they will for expensive middleware, when the alternatives are free and widely supported.

RE: hosting
It's very much up to the individual company - how do you want to set the server up? How much space allocation are you going to offer? What kind of support are you going to give? Can you/your server provider offer 99% up time? Do you want to offer mail? If so should you get a dedicated mail/chat server too? Are you going to hire support/telephone staff to assist users? Does everyone get a ftp account? Stats server? Limited/monitored IP/bandwidth? Will you offer database connectivity at cost or extra?
