You should be able to detach the database, rename the log, and then reattach
the database.  When you reattach it will look for the log and if not found
(because you renamed it) allow you to create a new one.

Also, could be as easy as a print style sheet (media="print") to change the
sizes.  That said, not entirely sure what is being looked for here.

You could do it like this, and just use a cfhttp to post it again in your
external cart.  Basically, you just need to mimic the form vars in a new
post.

It's not valid and it's performing as expected, IMO.  It's IE that is being
too loose on the spec.

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.9.1

"Each  LABEL element
is associated with exactly one form control."

You could set the label id explicitly to "bar" if you used the id (see
below).



   Public Telephone Number:
   
-
(if 916-, xxx-, otherwise, xxx-xxx-)

URL Stop and then Redirect

[John Cox]

Hi all,

I am a little stuck on a little problem, and times like these are when there
is an obvious solution from a non-interested party.  I am writing a dirty
import script to move thousands of items from one architecture to another.
What I am doing is basically getting all the information from the old
database and converting it to the new database (is not a one-to-one
relationship) structure.  I am just grabbing one item at a time and then
redirecting back to the script.

What I would like to do is stop and then redirect so I don't end up in an
infinite loop, but the cflocation tag, doesn't really seem to behave quite
the way I want.  Is there another tag that would do what I am thinking or
can someone think of an alternative?  I have about 25k items to do, so I'd
like to just start the script this afternoon and run it through the night
tonight.

Thanks for any suggestions!

CF and Windows Vista

[John Cox]

Perhaps this question has been raised and I have missed it, so apologies in
advance.

Has anyone had success installing the developer version of CF on Windows
Vista?  For some reason, the installer didn't configure IIS / CF (no mime,
etc).  It's been a while since I installed on XP with IIS or Apache, but I
seem to remember it was somewhat hands free on the install.

If anyone has a tip or a link that I have missed, it would be appreciated.

email addresses can have . in their name.  IE, my email address is

www.myemail is certainly possible and valid, although I have not seen that
sort of scheme for personal emails.

Do a search on del.icio.us for "icons" or check out the tag.  There are
plenty of collections that folks bookmark that don't seem to make their way

Another idea:

you can use document.readystate in javascript in conjunction with
disabled="disabled" in your form buttons.  Plenty of ways to do this on the
client side.

I've worked with both, but I have to admit that I always come back to
EditPlus.  I guess I am just a little old school, since I went for years
using VI, but EditPlus is quick, simple, has the majority of the tools that
I need, and it doesn't have a cluttered interface (no offense to the Eclipse
users).

I'd say work with Eclipse for a month.  If you feel comfortable using it,
then use it.  If you don't, use EditPlus.  It isn't about the bells and
whistles, it's about what makes you most productive.

Then use a span inside the anchor, but you can't use block level items
inside an anchor AFAIK.

Better yet, instead of using a divisions, you should be using a list or a dl
/ dt, since that is really what your menu is.  Don't get too bogged down in
using divisions, rather use the correct HTML element for the job.

Take your width and positioning out of your anchor elements:

a.LeftNav { width:191px;font-weight:bold;color:#525252;font-family:
'Arial';text-decoration: none;font-size: 13px;}

and place them in your division definitions.  Once done, move your
anchors inside your divisions.

Really, this has nothing to do with PHP or CF.  If an email address is in a
readible format then they can be harvested.  What you need is to either use
hex or some javascript.  Here is a pretty good page for reference:

I don't have a problem with McAfee and SVN.  I also don't have a problem
with Avast with SVN.  Only two I have tried though.

I doubt its a spyware thing though, more than likely their firewall is not
playing nicely, but that is just a guess.  You might try a different port to
see if the firewall is just doing a poor attempt at port blocking.  I
believe there is a configuration in Tortoise for that, but not sure.

cflogin question

[John Cox]

I am using cflogin logic to control some access within my framework and is
working just fine.  However, I notice that the timeout logic can not be
overridden without increasing the session timeout.  That's unexpected
behaivor, IMO, but I can work with it by increasing the session time.  I've
tried to increase the cflogin idletimeout but it seems to be tied to my
application override settings.

1st, has anyone else experienced this, as I might be looking at the problem
wrong.  Seems a little backwards to me, but perhaps that is desired
behaivor, or perhaps I have missed an important note in the docs.

2nd, if I have to increase the session time out, what impact would that have
on performance?  In the past, I always held authorized users sessions much
longer than non-authorized ones with PHP, but I am not sure if that is
possible in this case.  Is there a way to purge non-logged in users while
keeping just the logged in ones?

Thanks in advance!

Re: How to strip a #

[John Cox]

Thanks all for the help on this.  I think I am looking at the problem just a
bit wrong, because all the suggestions should work, but none are.  I'm going
to attack the problem from a different angle.  Once again, thanks for the
suggestions!

How to strip a #

[John Cox]

I am trying to strip out a # (pound) from a string.  I would have thought
this would have worked:



That didn't work, as it thought it was a var (missing an argument).  I tried
to escape it:



But that didn't seem to work (i think it is looking for ## at that point).
Any suggestions?

Rich, this clears it up for me.  They do as I thought, but I wanted to
confirm it before I started putting pen to paper;)

Thanks, I understand that part.  What I don't understand is when you include
a file from a different directory.  Does it look at the included file's
directory or just the directory that is calling the file.  IE, is it
possible that several application.cfms are loaded, or does ColdFusion only
load the the application.cfm from the processed file's directory?

application.cfm question

[John Cox]

One more newb question while I am at it.  Does CF load application.cfm and
onrequestend.cfm the application.cfm from an included file directory?

IE:

include.cfm -> pulls /lib/foo/bar.cfm

does /lib/foo/application.cfm also get loaded or does CF ignor that
directory since in effect it is now include.cfm?

Thanks again.

Application Var Scope

[John Cox]

I realize this is a bit of a newb question, but I am trying to get my head
around application variables.  I come from a PHP background where I am used
to setting configurations files, etc, which is similar to application vars,
but not quite the same.

Here's the problem I am trying to overcome.  I have several applications
that will be reused on multiple domains.  Each of these applications have
certain configuration that I want to set based on the domain that they are
sitting on.  For instance, (real bad example probably) on one of my Europe
domains I might want to set the time notation than I do in my US domains.  I
also might be looking at a different DSN, etc, so on and so forth.  In PHP,
I would just create a configuration based on the site, load that in, and
presto, have my vars available.  I am a believer in using the tools
available and not trying to rewrite the language to suit my needs, but
rather try to rewrite my applications based on the language.

In ColdFusion, we have application vars, which to me seem to me to be very
similar if not better.  However, what I don't quite understand is the
persistance of these vars.  Are they by domain?  Are they server wide?  I am
pretty sure by my reading that are based on the application name, but then
again, I have a short attention span so forgive me in advance if I am
incorrect.  I am sure that I would need to condition the vars based on
domain, or various other conditions, but will these vars overwrite one
another when the application is loaded on two separate domains, or are they
separate instances?

Thanks in advance!

Another little cheat, but not sure if it would work in your case:






Your Text



Obviously, you would need to have an idea of the height of the container, or
a relative idea of the height of the left div.  It should still float right
and wrap around the image at the padding that you specify, if i am not
mistaken.

heh, you guys seem to think I am shying away from CF because of cost.  I am
obviously on this list, and am using CF daily.  Just saying what my
impression was prior to using it, and why I wouldn't have learned CF had I
not taken my current position.  It's no biggie to me at all, but to say that
there isn't an impression of cost associate, again, I say impression is over
looking one obvious difference.  No one needs to convince me though either
way though.

To me it doesn't really matter one way or another as long as I can do a cost
justification.  A programming language is just a tool to use to meet an
end.  To me, I don't really care if I am writing in PHP / Ruby / ColdFusion,
as long as I can do what I need to do.  If I can make a case that CF allows
me to do it faster with less man-power, then great, I can justify the cost.
No biggie.  Are CF developers less for me to hire than PHP / Ruby / PERL
developers?  Great, I can justify the cost.  No biggie.

I admit that I am new here, so my apologies for the comment if bringing up
costs associated is a touchy subject, as it appears to be.

Ummm, I do host my own server for applications, so I have costs associated.
PHP was free for me to install though regardless of the server or not.

We can go on and on about the cost savings, etc because of time (which I am
sure there are plenty or arguments pro / con).  Point of the matter is there
are upfront costs associated for me where with other languages I don't have
the same constraint.

Some folks do have the need for dedicated boxes;)  I am not trying to troll,
the question was asked and I gave my impression.  It could well be marketed
better for small companies or individuals, etc.  However, the marketing
message that I have seen is, "It saves you time to write applications and
the time savings will make up for the upfront costs", not "It's free to use,
as long as you don't run a dedicated server";)

Cost?  It's the reason I have always shied away from ColdFusion (but now
learning due to new job).
