database linking table naming conventions?

2006-04-14 Thread John McKown
Imagine these two database tables: "Users" and "Groups"

You want a Foreign Key table to link them together (or what I call a linking
table) that might be named "UserGroups".   

But "UserGroups" as a table name itself does not stand out in the table list
because it does not use a prefixed naming convention (something I like about
Fusebox on the web side).   

Examples table names might be:   "LT_Users_Groups" or "FK_Users_Groups".

Is there an understood standard there?  Also, the order of the table names
might need to be taken into account based on where the foreign keys are.

Thoughts?

RE: OOP, why me?

2006-03-06 Thread John McKown
That is just a way to create artificial job security.  Rules is another word
for standards.  The standards are loose enough that you can modify them.
Without standards, there would be no Internet, no POP3, etc.  Frameworks can
eliminate spaghetti code that is inevitable when 4 different developers all
code with their own style on the same site.   Frameworks promote team-based
programming.  If you always code alone, then you are right.  You don't need
them.

Well, IMHO these are just clichés.
- code reuse? I don't see what in non framework application makes 
reusing any code any more difficult.
- Flexibility? Framework means rules, how can rules add flexibilty?
- Maintainability? By someone who knows the framework, may be, but for 
other (most of the time), it is like hell.
- documented code? Any code should be documented, in a framework or not. 
Frameworks do not create documentation.

Anyway, any experienced programer will end up with his own way to design 
applications,
this is some kind of a framework, and it is the best one, because it is HIS.

Gee I'm using a framework, and I didn't even know about it ;-)

Gareth,

I'm in the same boat you are.  Especially after reading a blog entry by
a prominent figure in the CF community, where the complaint was given
that simple changes to a framework based site were /not/ simple.  You
had to modify a few different files just to make a simple change.  Kind
of goes against the "makes modifications easier" argument.

The biggest reasons I see for using frameworks are: 
-code reuse
-flexibility
-maintainability
-documented code

I can make my applications adhere to the above principles, /without/
using a framework.  However, I'm eagerly awaiting any responses from the
framework crowd, as I'm still sitting on the fence.

I can't speak for MM, but I think it obvious that they will endorse 
Eclipse for coders definitely.
We are all moving away from DW at our office and installing CFEclipse 
(www.cfeclipse.org).
There is mention on that site that MM is backing them now, but the 
updates look stale on the
site, and once again there is the issue of momentum.  Makes me worry 
that cfeclipse might lose
momentum if it is only managed by a few people.  There has to be more in 
the works there.
DW will be around for a while for those that use the automated MM code 
stuff, which we shun.

Re: OT: ColdFusion and Flex

2006-02-11 Thread John McKown
I agree that the pricing needs to be more obvious.  Flex 1 was like 
Spectra.  The "call for a quote" on the MM web site just to get a price 
is a major turnoff.  It just kills the momentum of a platform before it 
even gets started.  And lets face it, MM has a track record of doing 
that (as man other large companies do). 

Flex 2 is pretty exciting and so is the pricing model (what has been 
eluded to so far) and the use of open tools (Eclipse), is also good.  I 
wonder if endorsing Eclipse which will hurt Dreamweaver sales to coders.

Sounds like you do not want TRY/CATCH... that is triggered on a failure.

Re: sending mass emails

2006-02-04 Thread John McKown
We send even more than that, because we have been working on a CF 
powered Constant Contact killer.
It prolly sends 100K per day.   Four years ago AOL got tough and started 
to block IP RANGES based
on volume of messages.   Breaking them up into batches is the only way 
to go.  I recommend less than 10K
per domain name.  You can always use multiple domain names and IP ranges 
though ;)

That was one of the tags I mentioned in my original post.
Thanks for the opinion.  That tag is so inexpensive that I will try it 
just because of the price and your recommendation.

Re: Anyone use AbleCommerce, CFMX version?

2006-01-17 Thread John McKown
AbleCommerce itself was what forced us to create our OWN ecommerce 
engine. The AbleCommerce code was messy and terrible.  We had to keep 
fixing it.  Then we were encouraged to purchase a support contract JUST 
TO REPORT BUGS. That was the last straw.  We had some key features we 
needed that were promised "in the next release" and when the next 
release came, the features were not there.   Then they (Able) began to 
close up the source code.   So they lost their last good saving grace in 
our opinion when they did that.  But our decision had been made at that 
point to leave Able.

We were about to lose a huge client because of the lack of current 
shipping features in Able.  This was about three years ago, and now we 
have a 100% fusebox commerce engine that uses UPS gateways, integrates 
with outside shipping systems (like MOM), many payment gateways, etc. 
and we are constantly developing it.   This is not meant to be an 
advertisement, just a cautionary tale.  Building a complete commerce 
engine is a huge endeavor.  You would do better to use something else 
and make it work with an outside shipment manager than to get stuck with 
Able.   Then there are all the usability/skinning/etc. issues that we 
could talk about for hours.

Opinons on Mail Servers and Tags - CFPOP Sucks

2006-01-16 Thread John McKown
We are in the process of building a robust webmail client, one that 
incorporates not only Spam/AV, but one that also dovetails with our CRM 
applications for true inbound email automation.  This is critical for 
our CRM application, and it will also use Ajax.

In playing with CFPOP and CFMAIL, it is very obvious that we can't use 
them.   We are looking at IMail, IMS, some CFX tags, and other solutions 
to replace CFPOP and perhaps also CFMAIL. Since this is basically a 
webmail system on steroids, and because it MUST run on our CRM Linux 
cluster, Windows Email servers and windows-only CFX tags are NOT 
acceptable.  We are migrating all of our hosted apps to large clusters 
and Windows will not be a part of the clustered environment (including 
the DB servers).

So what I am interested in is opinions on both tag-based solutions 
(Java?) or email server choices that would be powerful enough to manage 
a fair amount of email, and yet also expose more functionality to CF so 
that we can process mail better.   An example would be getting some of 
the header attributes (like Status) out without having to run regex on 
every message (that is not scalable).

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Not sure if I can help here or not with this one but I can at least 
share some experiences we have in building a CF commerce engine from 
scratch.  It can be a really big job and should not be taken lightly.

We started our project because we used to use AbleCommerce and we got so 
mad at how they handled updates and how messy their code was that we 
ended up building a ColdFusion/Fusebox 4.1 commerce engine from the 
ground up.  It took us a little over a year to go live with it, but it 
has been running for the last year or so.   And like most web 
applications it will never truly be complete.   We are adding UPS/Fedex 
XML gateway APIs to it now, for example.

Using one Fusebox framework per site to call a core Fusebox framework, 
we were able to syndicate core store features and still have the ability 
to override them for custom shipping options like the one you describe 
below.   Unfortunately, our system is not open-source for obvious 
reasons, but we have licensed it to other development companies and 
using BlueDragon we hope to offer it as compiled software soon. 
Currently it is only sold as a hosted app.   If you are building one 
from the ground up I suggest you use a framework and possibly CFCs to 
make things flexible. That will end up becoming a major deal once you 
start to sell stores.  We are building hundreds of stores now, and I can 
safely say from experience that no two stores are exactly the same. 
That is why cut-and-past OS commerce software is not all its cracked up 
to be, unless you charge serious dollars to your customers for custom 
programming, or you are building really small stores where the 
expectation of flexibility and features from the customer is low.  The 
problem with customizing the OS versions are that you only have so much 
time in a day.  You also end up limiting the amount of recurring revenue 
you can make because you are so busy hacking someone else's store 
engine.   I'm not bashing OS at all, since we use MySQL for the DB and 
our commerce engine server is running CFMX 7 on Debian.

I guess my point is that it CAN be done on CF, it can be scalable, you 
can reuse your code, but you need a framework and some hosting 
automation built-in if you want to make a business out of it.  Do a lot 
of planning before you dive-in and make sure that you have a way to 
override layouts, shipping, pricing, discounts, group permissions, 
affiliates, etc.

I was thinking that too.

Lots of mention of Flex, however.  Its pretty obvious that MM/Adobe 
needs to answer AJAX as a threat to how web applications are built, and 
Flash has been able to do this flash remoting for some time. But flash 
sucks to develop with (for developers) and now Flex will make more 
interesting interfaces to bring these to developers.But you will 
still need web services for that to work, so I am surprised they are not 
  mentioning CF whatsoever in the Flex movies.   They simply mention 
that it runs on J2EE and that it will run on .Net soon as well.

In the Flex examples, they show some neat widgets, but I doubt Flex will 
be used in big commerce sites where page loads, includes, traffic, 
affiliate snippets, SEO, conversion, etc are dependant on page loads. 
That will be interesting to see how things shake out.

We do the same thing with Fusebox.  One core set of Fusebox files, and

SOLVED: CFMX Single Server/Multiple Vhosts Bug

2002-08-14 Thread John McKown

This was a HUGE help to me to find this technote.
We had a couple of sites that had virtual hostnames (i.e.
staff.somedomain.com and orders.somedomain.com) where when you logged into
one site, you would see files from the other site.  This was a new bug to us
in CFMX, and it was a headache.   We changed the default setting as per the
technote, and it fixed it.

You can also set cacheRealPath=false in your application.cfm, and it will
fix it as well.

Cheers.

Blocking AOL Users - Was Cf vs AOL help needed....

2002-07-17 Thread John McKown


"They switched away from the old dynamic IP system some time last year."


The problem I have found here is that the IP address that AOL assigns is the
IP of the proxy server.  This means many uses appear to come from the proxy
server's IP when they surf.   This is bad because when an AOL user abuses
your web site (happens all the time with AOL kiddies) and you are forced
block the IP, you end up blocking large groups of AOL users.   On some of my
sites, that is exactly what I do.   When AOL users get my "you are banned"
message and complain, I send then a form letter explaining that AOL's
caching servers are to blame, and that they should either complain to AOL or
find a new ISP.

While there is no foolproof method for restricting web access, the best
method for me has been blocking IPs.

Hope that helps.

RE: Macromedia Folks: What are you thinking?

2002-05-06 Thread John McKown

I like the sites feature.  I guess if you are using SourceSafe or something
similar, then the site functionality may not be important to you.
Personally, I like the file check-in/check-out features of DWMX, and the
ability to "synchronize" a site without doubling the page count and adding a
lot of useless "vti_bin" crap ala FrontPage.

Since I have been playing with UD4 for some time now, I was happy to see
that all of the Sites that I made in UD4 came right over, and I did not have
to re-enter them.  I cannot say the same thing for snippets.  There should
have been an import feature for snippets.  Another bug I found is CSS
linking.  When you link to a CSS file, the preview pane sometimes seems to
"forget" about the CSS file, and all of the preview text becomes Times New
Roman, which is really annoying.   You can re-link the CSS file, and the
styles re-appear, but just momentarily.

This is not correct. The Design Tab was removed because the code was not

maintainable and the feature in focus groups received very little
praise.
UD is a better visual editor (although not a better code editor at this

RE: Disconnecting Data Sources for Upload?

2001-12-10 Thread John McKown

Ben,

I agree with you.  On all of our in-house applications, we use SQL Server.
This particular customer is a local chamber of commerce who uses Access
internally to maintain their list of members.  There are only 500 or so
members, and they want the Access database to power the membership directory
of their web site. They will never pay for SQL work, and we assist them for
exposure in the community.  Since the DB that is being uploaded is a copy,
and is only used for select queries, there is no worry of corruption. This
site is also small enough that simultaneous read-writes are not an issue
either.  And there is no credit card information or sensitive information in
the DB at all.

So in this particular case, Access is the best solution.
Next time I will offer more data to keep the thread on-track. ;)

Cheers.

Actually, the real solution is to not use shared file base databases on live
Web sites. I know Access is cheap and easy, I know all the compelling
reasons to use it, but:
 - administration and updates is a pain
 - the data file is highly susceptible to corruption
 - the data file is likely to be stolen too

Access (and any other files based DBMS') were never designed for Web use,
and really should not be used there.

The tough part is explaining that to your client. If you need help
convincing him, there is a column I wrote on this (title is "Access Denied")
at www.forta.com/cf/resources.

This is a bit of a bubblegum solution, but you can have your client run a
lock killing query just prior to upload.  Just setup a quesry that they can
navigate to in their browser (I call it qLockKiller.cfm).  The SQL should be
something like "SELECT something FROM nothing".  That will cause a db error
and unlock Access (remove the .ldb file).  Sometimes the query needs to be
run afew times.  I'd suggest doing this at non-peak times as somebody could
hit the db again in the time it takes to fire up the FTP and send up the db.

All that said...clients should not mess with uploading databases over top
live ones...transaction will inevitably happen between the download and
upload and thus data will be lost.

Best solution is to set CF admin to only allow SELECT statements durring
this process so no data can be altered.  Of course this requires access to
CF admin which is not always easy if hosted in a shared environment.

Have two datasources & databases.  Have person upload datasource 2 while
the site uses datasource 1.  Do a query of datasource 2, loop through it
and update datasource 1.  Maybe have a scheduled task do this at a time
that would be least disruptive.  There are probably better ways to do
this, but since you are using an access db in the first place, I imagine
that simple is good.

Hi folks,

Now that I've got CF Server 5 running correctly on my Linux box, I
had a quick question. What's the best way to hide the Error template pages
that I have setup?

Currently, any user could guess my Error page names, and because I
have my ErrorException page e-mail myself and a few other administrators
when the page is called, this could lead to a bunch of false alerts.

Is there any variable I could perhaps check to see if it's CF
Server calling the Error page as opposed to a regular user, or is there
some way I can specify all Error* pages to not be directly viewable?

I was thinking of just doing this with the help of an .htaccess
file, but I was hoping there was something a bit more elegant, as I assume
this sort of concern has come up before.


Thanks a lot,

NETSCAPE IS GOING AWAY! A Web Developer's Dream Come True!

2001-06-08 Thread John McKown
iences who find wide-open Web surfing
confusing or overly complex.

``We call them the 'a la carte' crowd. (Netscape users) have a perceived
interest in finding their own things,'' Bankoff said.

Bruce Kasrel, a Forrester Research analyst who had yet to be briefed on the
new Netscape plans, said ahead of the announcement last week that Netscape
needed to pursue a hybrid media and software akin to that of Microsoft's MSN
Explorer.

MSN allows users to custom design the mix of Web searching, news updates,
communication features and other services using Internet Explorer
technology. Similarly, he predicted AOL Time Warner would fold Netscape
software into its media properties.

The media hub strategy gives Netscape a chance to sell advertising across
its many properties -- something AOL Time Warner is well known for doing --
and to test the waters for subscriptions rather than just free services,
Loizides said.

``Because they are repositioning themselves, they are a bit freer to
experiment than Yahoo! or other services,'' she added. ``Things they could
test include subscriptions services'' for unique Time Warner programming or
special Web software.

The formula of using Netscape to create a central Internet meeting place for
Time Warner magazine readers and broadcast viewers echoes in certain
respects the push by Time Warner in the first half of the 1990s to draw
users to a single site. That site, known as Pathfinder, failed to keep Time
Warner readers within the site and eventually closed.

Netscape can tap an unprecedented wealth of exclusive media content ranging
from music pop star Madonna to the hit crime-family drama ``The Sopranos''
now running on U.S. cable television, Loizides said.

Michael, before you go and learn VB, realize that vb is morphing into
vb.net. Although the syntax is similar, the changes/improvements are quite
drastic. You may want to skip picking up a book on the old VB and
concentrate on learning the new stuff. Microsofts site is a great place to
start though.


The whole dotNet thing is very interesting... Microsofts try at interpreted
code, like java.
Which leads me to think back to Macromedia's repeatedly saying dotNet in the
press release that they were commited to dotNet.
It isn't too far of a stretch to say that Neo may be ported to dotNet, and
specifically C#, which is basically java anyway. The more I think about it,
the more I think it's a no brainer for Macromedia to do a C# port. It will
probably run much faster on Windows. The only risk would be confusing the
users as to which is better.

That's my random Friday thought. Anyone have any comments?

Will MM Create Server-Side Image Editing Tools For CF?

2001-05-17 Thread John McKown

I have several CFX tags that can resample images and create thumbnails
dynamically, but they leave me wanting more.   Since Macromedia is mainly a
graphics company, why don't they take some of the image editing tools in
fireworks and make them scriptable on the server with CF?   It would be
great to be able to resample, sharpen, adjust contrast, levels, color, crop,
etc. using a web browser.   AOL and others are already doing this.

For instance, I built a pretty cool content management solution for real
estate agents, but most agents are too inexperienced with photo editing
programs like Photoshop, or they just simply don't own any.Just getting
the photos out of the camera seems to be a major chore for most of them.
Since this is the weakest link in the application, any way to give them the
power to edit the photo online would make things a lot simpler for them.

RE: New CF5 Partner Hosting License

2001-04-28 Thread John McKown

Steve,

Excellent points.  Might I also add that some of us ISPs are actually web
development shops and hosting companies as well. In our web development
shop, some of our designers are just getting into application development.
And these guys are fast learners.  I have pointed them towards CF because it
is a good RAD environment for them to learn in.   They have already built
some pretty impressive CF apps running on SQL.

But when we give a quote for a web development job, we factor in the CF
work, the CF License, as well as the increase in hosting that a CF site will
cause.  In many cases, our larger clients opt for a dedicated server.  Since
the bottom fell out of the PC server market, it is not unheard of to build a
CF server that costs $1500 that will run Win2K, SQL Server, and CF all on
the same box.  This actually works pretty well for a small application, and
we are doing this now.

But add up the software cost:

CF Pro: $1200
M$ SQL Server (only 5 licenses): $1400
Win2K: $600 (ASP Included Free)

As much as I hate a command line interface, Linux, PHP and MySQL are
starting to look attractive.  Especially for these smaller sites that need
their own box for security, whatever.

I agree with you Steve, MM should drop the price on CF Server to gain market
share.  Market share is important.  And for god's sake if you are going to
try to get more revenue from hosting companies, then at least provide tools
to make managing the security of the sites easier.  IMHO the sandbox feature
should be standard across the board.  Maybe they should merge Enterprise and
Professional editions to accomplish this.

Subject: RE: New CF5 Partner Hosting License


We have already been told by Allaire sales reps that there will substantial
price increases for hosting companies with hundreds or thousands of
domains/applications and that if we need licenses, the time to buy is now.
This is from your own sales folks.

Allaire has a well established history of announcing a fire sale on the
current partner membership before a major price increase. This is a way to
try and keep the partners from screaming too loud when the price change
comes in and to generate a short spike in partner revenue before that
program price is also increased.

I would love to be surprised by a price decrease across the board for CF
server licenses, but your own sales folks are telling us to buy now before
the price goes up.

Last time during the beta cycle we were promised sand boxing and other
features that would make large scale hosting, ApSP, and shared hosting
systems more secure. Then at the last moment, sand boxing and the other
security enhancements were moved into a new version of software called CF
Enterprise which was not covered by existing maintenance contracts for Pro.
So folks had to scramble for new license agreements and when they did, they
found that the price of CF went up with a five fold increase to some $5,000.
Hence why many hosting companies are still with 4.0 and didn't upgrade to
4.5.

Now taking a page from Microsoft's successful price increase of SQL Server
to processor based and connection based licensing, McAllaire is looking to
do the same thing. We have already heard from MM in past conference calls
with analyst and at meetings about adaptive licensing, tiered licensing, and
increasing license revenue streams. These appear to be code words for, the
price is going up.

The difference is Microsoft has not significant competition or alternative
in the NT SQL market.

ISP's are the backbone for CF deployment and for introducing new developers
to CF. The price should actually be going down for these companies not up.
When ASP and PHP are already free to hosting companies, it means a lot for
hosting companies to spend real dollars to license CF.

I recently watched one of Inline's largest hosting company shelve iHTML
after a major price increase by Inline and there was hardly a whimper from
the customer base. The ISP gave everyone a reasonable period of time to
transition their apps. In the end, they lost just a handful of customers
that said they wanted to stick with iHTML. CF is not invincible in the ISP
market. Allaire can't depend on a huge outcry from customers to force
Hosting companies to keep CF or lose a significant revenue stream. The
stream is not that significant and there are other lower cost and just as
effective options to CF.

What do you expect would happen if an ISP told their customers that ASP and
PHP host pricing will remain the same but the cost of CF hosting will
increase by 25 to 50%? We have some early research that indicates as many as
70

RE: Is CF still relevant?

2001-04-22 Thread John McKown

Joseph,

Great questions.  If you asked me 6 months ago, I would answer you by saying
that the reason I use CF primarily is because it is a great RAD tool.
Today, I am thinking about how cool it will be to leverage my CF experience
once CF is tied to Flash better (better than Harpoon).  The thought of this
alone gets my heart racing.A couple of years ago, M$ introduced their
"Agent" ActiveX component that allowed you to have a little character (like
those annoying M$ Office Assistants) that you could script to make talk.  I
thought that this was pretty neat, but it required a slow download, and the
performance was hideous.  Also, you were stuck with the characters that M$
developed. With Flash working better with CF, you could create some
compelling agents, IM programs, distance learning tools, training programs,
and more.   There is probably a lot of potential here that we have not even
thought of yet.   So the Flash potential and also UltraDev's *potential*
have me excited.   Those are my hopes for CF.

My fears are:

 - How well will CF be integrated with UltraDev?
 - How well will CF be integrated with Flash? And I don't mean little
Harpoon calendars.
 - Will MM fix/improve the advanced security features of CF? The "Users -->
Groups --> Policies" security model is cludgy.
 - Will MM or Version 5.0 improve/automate remote file management?  By this
I mean that I would like for CF to allow me to manage files on the server
much like FrontPage extensions do.  You rename a file, and all of the links
to the file get renamed.  FP is a newbie tool, but this is a HUGE time saver
when you have a really big site to manage.
 - Will MM lower the cost of the server?  The pro version should cost
$599.00.
 - How will the real world performance be with the Java-based "NEO" (CF
version 6.0).  I know they say it is faster, but I am just worried.
 - How soon will 5.0 be out?   User defined functions and querying a query
will be awesome.   The User defined functions alone will add tremendously to
the CF community once you can download custom functions (loan calculators,
etc.).

Just my 2 cents.

Subject: Is CF still relevant?


Now, before you dismiss this as a troll, please let me elaborate. This isn't

so much an instigation or a whine as it is a call for us to take a step back

and reevalutate things periodically.

Over the course of my career as a web programmer/developer, I have worked
with a variety of sever-side languages and technologies: ColdFusion, ASP,
JSP, PHP, Perl and Python. I like some more than others, but I'm not an
evangelist for any; they each have their uses. And I recognize some of CF's
strengths: easy to learn for people who know only tag-based HTML or don't
have significant programming experience; built-in admin tool; specialized
editor; comes with pre-built tags and web-based administrator. There are
also major flaws: broken/sketchy tags; no XML parsing; not OOP; relatively
small community; etc.

Right now, I work at a web development firm that is primarily "a CF house"
(besides me). Our more senior programmers are looking at honing their CF
skills, while our less experienced webmasters are trying to learn
ColdFusion. But, I can't help but wonder whether they are wasting their
time. Would they be better off spending their time learning ASP, Java or
another non-CF solution? Why or why not?

And how would we tell if and when it was time to give up CF and try
something else, as all but the most stubborn experts in also-ran languages
(Ada, SmallTalk), applications (Netscape, Lotus Notes) and Operating Systems

(Amiga) have resignedly done?

Lastly, why do *you* still use CF? Is it because it's what you're best at,
and you don't want to try something new (where, temporarily, you'd be a
novice again)? Is it because your ccompany's legacy code is all in CF? Is it

because you genuinely think that ColdFusion is, generally speaking, the best

solution for web application development in 2001?

RE: WARNING: PCAnywhere

2001-04-22 Thread John McKown

Try using VNC (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/).  It is a java-based
program that was written by AT&T that basically does what PCA does, but
it is FREE, FREE, FREE!  Seems to work pretty well.   You can even to a
remote reboot with it.   We have been playing around with it after seeing
a co-location client of ours using it.  It is VERY slick.  You may want
to do some research on BugTraq to make sure it is safe, but I really like
it.

Subject: WARNING: PCAnywhere


A failed installation (attempting to upgrade ver. 8 to ver. 10) on an NT4,
sp6 server literally destroyed the server OS, making it impossible to boot
the OS without a "blue screen." This just happened to be an important
production server without a ghosted system partition. We had to rebuild from
scratch on another box. Almost lost a Very Important Client or two.

When I contacted Symantec, they charged me $29.95 to tell me that I was
"hosed."

If you are not using PCAnywhere, do not start. If you have an older version,
upgrade with the greatest of risk.

RE: Win2K File Associations Not Working

We removed the .HTR ourselves, and we installed

the steps that the other poster suggested right now.
I will let you know what solves it.

Win2K File Associations Not Working

2001-04-11 Thread John McKown

I just installed 4.5.1 SP2 on a Fresh install of Win 2K.
Under the file associations in IIS 5, the .cfm file extensions are listed,
but they are not being served properly as web site files.

When I try to get to the administrator:
http://204.253.96.198/cfide/administrator/login.cfm
You can see for yourself what happens.

RE: CF and FrontPage

2001-01-18 Thread John McKown

I have been waiting for someone to talk about this on the list for a while.
We use FrontPage 2000 quite a bit for visual layout of tables and forms,
then we remotely (through the FP Explorer) rename the .html files to .cfm
when we are ready to do the CF part.  Clicking on a .cfm file in FP Explorer
opens the .cfm file in CF Studio, so we never actually use the FP editor on
CFM files directly.

Here are the benefits:
1. Drag-and-drop file handling of FP is way more efficient than FTP.
2. Renaming images on a FP server will automagically change all of the links
in .htm and .html files.  .CFM files are ignored.  This is a HUGE
time saver.
3. The FP Explorer allows you to enter comments on each files, including
images, .cfm files, and .html files.   This makes file management easier.
4. Visual layout of HTML tables and HTML forms is the fastest and most
intuitive anywhere.
5. Page Preview for HTML files works great.
6. You can CTRL-A (copy all) a web page in IE, then paste into the FP
editor.  This saves time "reusing" code.

Here are the negatives of FP:
1. Not platform independent.
2. FP Extensions run as root, and are a Network Admin's nightmare.
3. FP Editor does not respect existing code structure.
4. PF Editor does not recognize CF.
5. There is no good workgroup session integrity to keep people from working
on the same file simultaneously.


I have never opened a .cfm file in FP itself.  That would be idiotic.
FrontPage DOES cause some problems with code, too.  No  support, 
tags in the wrong place,  tags in the wrong place, etc.

But the FP publish feature is a nice feature, and so is the preview feature
(for .html files only).  And don't forget about the benefit of being able to
work LIVE off of the server without having to FTP.  That is the single most
compelling reason to use FP - because by eliminating FTP, we can work a lot
faster.  And we do not need to track down html file links... FP does that
for you.

IMHO the FTP functions and the Page Preview Functions of Studio suck wind.
So does the visual editor for page design when compared to FP.

It has been a while since I have used Dreamweaver(DW), but hopefully the
visual editing is a lot cleaner.   But I would give up the ability to drag
and drop files to the server, which so far only the FP server extensions
allow.   I would LOVE to get rid of FrontPage entirely, but currently it
saves us so much time (not needing an intranet server for projects, drag and
drop, etc.), that so far I have not had a compelling reason to get rid of
it.

Now that the merger has happened, I would drop FP in a second for
DreamWeaver, but it needs better visual editing, and it needs better server
support for link-checking, drag-drop, etc.   If it already has these
features, then please excuse my ignorance of the product.  Regardless, we
will be looking at DW a lot more closely because of the merger.

RE: Contract

2001-01-09 Thread John McKown

We have built hundred of sites, and I would not build one without a
contract.  What works for us is to have a boilerplate contract that covers
the basic stuff, then add EXHIBITS to the boilerplate for the things that
vary from job to job.

Boilerplate Stuff:
- Confidentiality
- Design Timeline
- Responsibilities
- Content Ownership
- Hosting
- Use of Copywritten Material
- Deadlines for Content Submission
- Local Law Provisions
- Indemnification
- Terms of Service
- etc.

Exhibits:
- Scope of work
- Re-Occurring Fees (like hosting)
- Maintenance Fees
- Installation Fees
- Hardware
- Payment Terms

Hope that helps.  I would NEVER build a site without ALL of this.
A web site application and a verbal agreement are much to subjective to hold
up in a court of law.
Make sure that they initial EVERY page, too.   Good clients will respect you
for your thoroughness.
Bad clients get weeded out and save you time and money.

RE: SESSION Timing out WAY before it's supposed to.

If removing those double quotes is the culprit,
then the "Mastering Cold Fusion 4" book has a

on for size now.  If it fixes this problem, then
this tip WILL be worth its weight in gold for me too.

RE: SQL Queries on Irish last names that have an apostrophe

Yes, that was a typo.  The % is actually within the quotes.
I tried using '' to escape the last name and I still get an error.
I also tried the PreserveSingleQuotes to no avail.

SQL Queries on Irish last names that have an apostrophe

2000-12-22 Thread John McKown

I hope this is an easy question for you SQL gurus.

I am not sure why someone would want an apostrophe in their last name, :)
but I need to know how to get around that when writing SQL queries
that search records for last names contain apostrophes.

Here is a sample query that loops through the search form
fields and builds a dynamic query:


SELECT *
FROM #MemberTable#
WHERE 0 = 0


AND #ThisField# LIKE '#Evaluate(ThisField)#%'





And here is what gets rendered when we pass some Irish name:

SELECT *
FROM Lawyers
WHERE 0 = 0
AND LNAME LIKE 'o'donnell'%


And of course, this produces a SQL error.
Anyone have tips for getting around this and still being able
to search for names that contain an apostrophe?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Netscape 6 out UGH!!!!

2000-11-15 Thread John McKown

I just cannot stand Nutscrape. Once upon a time, I rooted for them as the
underdog to M$.   But the browser was
outpaced by M$, and the browser war was won.  Over. End of story.
Shortly thereafter, another soon-to-be monopoly (AOL) bought Nutscrape, and
its destiny was charted to certain suckiness.
Netscape was just another advertising platform for AOHELL (like ICQ).
That is when I decided to seriously consider abandoning worry of
cross-browser compatibility.
I agree with the other post that mentioned that ALL browsers should be W3C
compliant.
AOL should spend less time squeezing ads into Netcenter and more time fixing
their browser.
It surprises me that Sun would not come to the rescue of AOHELL and help
them with their JavaScript implementation.

Boardwatch Magazine had a great new tagline for AOL:  "You're so easy to
use, no wonder we are number one"

my 2 cents. :)

RE: Capitalize First Letter of Each Word

2000-10-27 Thread John McKown

Ok, I think we have a winner.
James Lawrence from Freeserve ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) submitted a little
JavaScript that does the job well on the client side.  This was the
smallest, cleanest, fastest method that anyone submitted.  I added the
second line to make sure that all other letters after the first were lower
case.

Enjoy:


<!--
function capitalizeMe(obj) {
val = obj.value.toLowerCase();
newVal = '';
val = val.split(' ');
for(var c=0; c < val.length; c++) {
newVal += val[c].substring(0,1).toUpperCase() +
val[c].substring(1,val[c].length) + ' ';
}
    obj.value = newVal;
}
