Unfortunately for internal use only. In other words you can run Win2k3 
Enterprise Server for your internal network but not serve web sites that 
can be accessed from the outside.

That being said, the software are full editions, and with the exception 
of SQL Server Developer's version, they are all full versions. Here's 
what M$ says about the program:
--
How can I use the software provided in the subscription?
The software included with the subscription can be used for internal 
business use, testing, evaluation, demonstration, training, and 
educational purposes only. For example, you can use the Action Pack 
software to host your company's intranet but it CANNOT be used to host a 
commercial Web site. This is considered a production environment that is 
outside the scope of the software's intended purpose.

I have to second Jeff on this one. The Action Pack subscription is an 
amazing deal. About $15,000 worth of software for only $300, and that 
includes 10 copies of Office 2003, Visio, Project, Outlook and all of 
MS' server software. You just cannot resell it.

Re: Prevent Refresh

[Larry C. Lyons]

No, just a simple disable or name change on the onClick, then you just 
have to make sure that the form does not submit without the button 
having the appropriate name. Something like this for instance:


 == 'Process') this.form.submit(); this.value = 
'Please Wait.';">

When you click the button it changes its name to Please Wait. Then 
submits the form. If the user keeps clicking the button, the form will 
not be submitted again.

Alan,

While not directly related to your question, one thing you may want to 
do in your code is add the Cachedwithin attribute to your query. It 
would speed things up a lot, especially for large queries, assuming of 
course that your SortOrder variable stays the same from page to page.


cachedwithin="#CreateTimeSpan(0, 0, 60, 0)#">
	SELECT * from Products,Categories
	WHERE Products.CategoryID = #CategoryID#	
	AND Products.CategoryID = Categories.CategoryID
	AND Products.InventoryCount >0
	ORDER BY #SortOrder#

Tony,

Look at BBEdit. There's a BBEdit library set somewhere (not at home now) 
that has all the CF tags and functions. But since CF pages are straight 
ascii text, you can use almost any sort of a text editor.

I ended up rolling out my own. Its not that difficult. Just send in the 
appropriate values with cfhttp from a secured connection (i.e., SSL) and 
you're returned a csv string that you can parse through to determine 
sucess, rejection of the car or error. With some judicious exception 
handling or switch/case statements you can create a fairly powerful 
credit card authorizing app. In the end its not difficult.

Good questions. As far as I know (remember its a friend who looking at 
the search engines) its for technicians and engineers who need to access 
the technical manuals on the shop floor. As far as I know, the computers 
will all be the same. I've passed along the question list to my friend.

Thanks Jeremy. I don't think that this is really for a CMS system rather 
for an on-line manual (IETM's Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals). 
But I agree with your point regarding the database searches.

As for the location of the data, from what I understand its going to be 
on the corporate servers and local hard drives.

SOT: Internal/Intranet Search Engines - What to ask the sales critters

[Larry C. Lyons]

Greetings,

The company a friend of mine works for is starting to look at search
engines like Verity, Google, Altavista or DTSearch for searching as he 
puts it:

 >they want to be able to search the IETM database (on their own server
 >for their DWAN, which they call a web server because it uses the same
 >protocols) and also on the end user's own hard drive.

He's been tasked to look into it and get some ideas and estimates. 
Anyhow he's not experienced enough in this area to ask intelligent 
questions about this to the sales people. For some reason he thought I 
might be, (fool that he is in that case). Anyhow its not my area, but I 
thought that someone on the CF-Talk list might have some experience with 
these or other intranet search engines and would be willing to give 
hints etc.

Any help or suggestions on what to ask would be appreciated. I'll be 
passing all suggestions over to him.

regards,

Dan,

Try FunnelWeb by Quest Software, 
(http://www.quest.com/funnel_web/analyzer/) It can handle URL parameters 
quite easily. You need to set a couple of parameters in the setup but it 
works quite well. I've used it with fused sites with no problems. 
Moreover if you don't mind downloading a copy every three months or so, 
its free.

Another alternative is Secret Agent.com's Fusebox Log Analyzer for $50. 
See http://www.secretagents.com/index.cfm?&fuseaction=tools.fuseboxlogs. 
I haven't used this tool but it looks like it can do the job.

Shannon,

Assuming that my previous email got bounced by the CF-talk bot for not 
recognizing my munged email address, I'm trying this one again. If not I 
apologise for the duplicate posting.


First of all I'd avoid putting the header and footers in you 
application.cfm and onrequestend.cfm pages. Those should be used for 
code specifics. Here's what I do, create a template in Dreamweaver and 
where the content is to go, have a cfoutput, something like this:
#variables.ResultsOutput#

Then on the pages with the processing and other cfcode, surround that 
code with a cfsavecontent. Then you use an cfinclude to get the template 
as in

Re: single user version of 5.0

[Larry C. Lyons]

So then Ray how do we, as developers, learn to use the new features of
CF 5? When will a single user version be available?  Or will there be
one?

Also does this mean that as a developer, I'm going to have to spring for
my own copy of CFPro at the minimum in order to continue developing CF
apps that take advantage of the new features of version 5? 

This is of course I want to keep within the license restrictions 

Seems to me that MM is shooting itself in the foot again.

larry

Re: Image uploader from a Mac to a cf/win2K server

[Larry C. Lyons]

Steve,

another factor you may want to look at is that sometimes Mac browsers
(IE for the Mac) may append a space to the filename, which also screws
things over. Adding a TRIM(filename etc) to the CFFile filefield = tag
seems to solve the problem, as in:

Re: How to combine queries

[Larry C. Lyons]

Josh,

Have a look at Nate Weiss' CF_QueryMergeSideBySide
(http://www.nateweiss.com/taggallery/). To quote from the Docs:
--

This tag takes two query result sets and creates a new query that
contains data from both queries. The new query has all the columns from
the first query, plus all the columns from the second query. Whatever
was in row one of each query will be in the first row of the new query,
and so on. Please note that this tag makes no attempt to "sync up" or
"join" the rows intelligenty. It just copies data. It is your
responsibility to ensure that the first row of the first query
corresponds with the first row of the second query. 

The new query will have the same number of rows as the first query. This
means that if the first query has more rows than the second, the "extra"
rows will be unpopulated (blank) in the new query. If, on the other
hand, the second query has more rows than the first, the "extra" rows
will be ignored. Columns with the same name in both queries are assumed
to hold data in common and are included in the new query only once.

Re: Removing items from the shopping basket?

[Larry C. Lyons]

Michel,

Let me make ssure I understand what you're trying to do. You're using a
query to store your shopping cart data, and you need to delete a row
from the shopping cart.

If such is the case then what you need to do is create a new query and
include all rows from your old query except for the rows you want to
delete. As in:














 
  queryAddRow(NewCart); 
  querySetCell(NewCart,"SKU",Request.YourCart.SKU);
  querySetCell(NewCart,"StyleNo",Request.YourCart.styleNo);
 
querySetCell(NewCart,"Description",Request.YourCart.Description);
  querySetCell(NewCart,"Price",Request.YourCart.Price);
  querySetCell(NewCart,"Qty",Request.YourCart.Qty);
  querySetCell(NewCart,"Cost",Request.YourCart.Cost);
  querySetCell(NewCart,"Size",Request.YourCart.Size);
  querySetCell(NewCart,"SaleDate",Request.YourCart.SaleDate);

Re: Good resource on CF/XML integration?

[Larry C. Lyons]

Dave,

Use CFHTTP to grab the datafile, then you have 2 options, write the
resulting variable (from the CFHTTP) to a file, or directly manipulate
that variable. The next step is to use CF_SOXML to get the XML. This
custom tag converts the data to a structure which you manipulate with
the standard struct functions.

Better yet use CFContent and point it to a mapped folder (in the CF

He's developed a very useful set of CF related behaviors that make
integrating UD with ColdFusion a lot less agonizing.

Re: Access ldb files w/a twist

[Larry C. Lyons]

Mark,

You can create an empty database file in Access. The use link tables
under the FILE > GET EXTERNAL DATA > LINK TABLES menu option to link the
blank database with your database in question. Then select whatever
tables you need to be linked. 

Next in your CFAdmin point the ODBC Connection to the blank Access
table. This will be a bit slower than directly accessing your database
but it allows you to change tables etc, without having to worry about
..ldb files etc.

That would work if you can get access to the database.

The only other way would be to break the database connection. One was is
to use the undocumented CFUSION_DBCONNECTIONS_FLUSH() function but that
hoses all database connections on the server. Alternatively run a bogus
query on the database, as in


select garbage from BS


that should break the connection.

Right now in the two UltraDev4 packages you get Homesite, with this it

One trick you can do is create an empty database file in Access. Then
use link tables under the FILE > GET EXTERNAL DATA > LINK TABLES menu
option to link the blank database with your database.. Then select
whatever tables you need to be linked. After that if you need to change
tables etc, you do not have to worry about having to work with .ldb
files etc.

Re: Certified ColdFusion Developer Study Guide

[Larry C. Lyons]

Got mine last week from Fatbrain.com, all in all its about the same
price as amazon, and I don't have to support Bezo's ideas on copyright.

http://www1.fatbrain.com/asp/bookinfo/bookinfo.asp?theisbn=0789725657&vm=

So far its pretty good - am going through it line by line almost while I
prep for the cert exam.

Re: OT But Urgent - Knock CF if you dare

[Larry C. Lyons]

 
Loop 
%>

This loops through the output dataset and displays it onscreen. For a
new learner this is quite difficult to understand and debugging is a
huge problem.

Now compare it to the CF code:

#id# #business#

Now which is easier to learn? Anyone reasonably familiar with HTML can
probably figure out what's going on here.

Mailing the results of a form submission is as simple:


   #Form.Message#


Now try that in vanilla ASP. Whoops sorry you can't. You have to buy an
add on here.

Re: Dynamic Page Generation Question

Clint,
One way to do what you want is first to construct your template page,
that runs the query and outputs it. Then call that page using CFHTTP,
and write the results out to disk using CFFILE.

Re: CF rules!!!

Alternatively you put the intial query into an application variable and
then run queries against that one.

Re: Those darn Access .ldb files

We are soemwhat lucky in this case, having our servers in-house. If you
have that luxury, you'd have to do the linking on the production

Re: Those darn Access .ldb files

[Larry C. Lyons]

Douglas,

A simple way of avoiding Access .ldb files would be to create a blank
database. Then link it to the real database using File -->Get External
Data-->Link Tables. Select the appropriate database and tables. Then
whenever you need to swap out the database its just a matter of copying
the file without having to worry about the Access .ldb files.

Re: Tag or function to import csv file to db

[Larry C. Lyons]

Peter,

Unfortunately yes. Its a really useful tag for several projects I've
worked on. Fortunately we run WinD'ohs servers here so its not as
critical to us.

The best way I can see ho to do this is to upload the file with cffile
action='upload", then read the file using CFFILE ACTION="Read". You then
loop over the file using chr(10) and chr(13) as your row delimiter and
the comma as your column delimiters.

So in this case, assuming that you've sucessfull uploaded the file and
put it into a variable using CFFile, you would then use a nested CFLoop
to go through each record and update it appropriately.

hth,

larry

Re: Tag or function to import csv file to db

[Larry C. Lyons]

Paul,

Have a look at Nate Weiss' custom CFX tag called CFX_CSVToQuery. You can
get it from his website. Here's the direct URL:
http://www.nateweiss.com/taggallery/CFXQueryColumns\CFX_QueryColumns.zip.
He also has the documentation on-line for the tag:
http://www.nateweiss.com/taggallery/CFX_CSVToQuery\CFX_CSVToQuery.html

What I've found is that its somewhat faster than CFFile, and is fairly
simple to use.

hth,
larry

Re: OT: Dave's Burning Rant, Part Deux

[Larry C. Lyons]

Dave,

What you say is partially true. However, I seem to remember that very
similar arguments have been made by those supporting the tobacco
companies and cigarettes, firearm manufacturers and their political
lobbies, groups opposed to AIDS prevention etc. etc. The ideology of
personal responsibility can only go so far. For instance, since it is up
to the individual to drive safely, then why bother having seat belts and
airbags in cars. Moreover to use a logical extension of your arguments
as it applies to cars and traffic laws, then why have traffic laws at
all. All hail Libertarianism!

The point is that if a manufacturer makes a shoddy product that could
cause severe damage, then there are legal remedies. However if M$ or
other companies make a shoddy software product that could cause severe
damage, we end up getting arguments on personal responsibility. There's
a bit of a disconnect here.

Companies want to minimize costs etc., that is one of the reasons why
Outlook is very popular. It comes with Office and is fairly easy to use.
The problem is that MicroSoft also attempts to minimize costs, provide a
good feature set, maximize shareholder returns, etc., and made a series
of decisions that makes Outlook very vulnerable to certain forms of
virii. Given these decisions and their consequences and considering your
arguments regarding personal responsibility, where does corporate
responsibility come in?

Re: (WFOT) Curling, Cold Fusion and Online Tools

[Larry C. Lyons]

Eric,

As one of the, probably, very few who actually understands what you are
talking about, can be doable.

Quick translation on what Erik was talking about - Curling is a winter
sport, something similar to lawn bowling. Only done on ice.

Probably what you would want to do is look at how Flash and CF
integrate. That would let you do animations of each shot, based on data
recorded in your database.

Re: Allaire on a Mac?

Unless the new version of VirtualPC (v4?) has improved considerably, its
like running a 80mhz Pentium. VPC is good for checking a site but I
don't think that its any good for any serious development work. That's
why I have CF Studio.

[OT] JS alerts and CF variables

[Larry C. Lyons]

Happy Monday,

I'm building a form in CF and Javascript. With the quantity fields,
(they are dynamically generated - the name is actually #SKU#_QTY) if the
person enters a number that is larger than the available inventory for
that item, I'd like to display an alert that tells them that they cannot
enter that amount.

I assume that I could do something like this:










Now the part I find somewhat un-understandable is how to call Inventory
in this. I assume that when you could do something like this:


<!--
function checkInput(QTY,Inventory) 
{
this.QTY = QTY;
Inventory = Inventory;

  if (QTY > Inventory) 
  {
alert("Current Stock only has " + Inventory + ". Please choose a
different amount.");
field.focus();
field.select();
return false;
  } else 
{
 return true; 
}
}

// -->


However, of course this doesn't work.
Any suggestions that you would have would be most appreciated.

thanks,
larry

For my home network, I have 2 Macs, 1 Athlon and 1 Pentium III. The
Pentium and Athlon give me more than 3 times the number of problems that
the 2 Macs do. I wish my Wintel machines were half as productive as the
Macs. I'd love to be able do most of my coding using one of the G3 Macs.

Re: Storing images in SQL

[Larry C. Lyons]

Rick,

Others have dealt with speed and storage issues regarding images and
databases. Here's how I handle things. Rather than calling a BLOB
object. What happens when your client wants to change a significant
proportion of the images - its much easier copying the new images to the
appropriate directory than inserting the images into the database.
Secondly, speed. To display the images, it requires a database call,
that is slower than the http://www.ebstor.com

Re: [RE: [database update?]]

[Larry C. Lyons]

Peter,

One way to do it would be to create an ODBC connection to a blank
database. Then go into that db and link the tables to the database
that's being uploaded. Go under FILE -> GET EXTERNAL DATA -> LINK
TABLES. Then choose the uploaded database, and select all the relevant
tables. Then when the database needs updating you don't have to worry
about breaking the odbc connection etc, just replace the database.

hth,
larry

Re: Danger of the +.htr bug

[Larry C. Lyons]

Larry,

Here's the URL for the patch:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/Security/Bulletin/ms00-044.asp 

However M$ does say the following about this patch:

The patch should only be installed by customers who have a
business-critical need for the .HTR functionality. Microsoft recommends
that all other customers disable the .HTR functionality altogether, as
discussed in the FAQ.

Re: Multiple submits

[Larry C. Lyons]

Jon,

I use a bit of very simple JavaScript to change the button name. Here's
an example:

 

If the user clicks on the submit button, the script tests to make sure
that the button is labelled Submit, if so it changes the button's label
to Please Wait, and then continues with the submit, otherwise it does
nothing. In other words if the button is labeled "Please Wait" it
doesn't submit the form.

hth,

I've seen queries go from multiple seconds (huge dataset) down to less
than 20 milliseconds using a cached query. The only time I've ever run
into problem with a cached query is when the user changes the data (via
update or delete). What other problems have you found.

Re: COMMERCE BLOCKS

[Larry C. Lyons]

Good morning,

On behalf of myself and my erstwhile colleague, Trip Ward, I wish to
apologize to the list. Unfortunately Mr. Ward neglected to check the
email address when he sent that 4 e-mail faux pas. Trip apparently got
confused about where the e-mail was coming from. He thought he was
sending the e-mail to my address, not realizing it was going to cf-talk.
We've set up filters in our e-mail inboxes that move e-mail to different
folders based on our names. I assume that he did not realize that my
latest e-mail was received through cf-talk and not from my e-mail
address. Clueless will not do that again. Even if I have to make him
rebuild the web server and reinstall all the NT service packs, CF and
SQL server twice in one day, he will not make such an error again.

Thank you,

larry

Re: New to CF, can this be done?

[Larry C. Lyons]

Mike,

CF cannot do it directly, you need a fax software and a special printer
driver on your server. You might want to look at Protofax
(http://www.protofax.com/). They have a custom tag
(http://www.protonet.com/efax/downloads.htm) on their site that works
with their fax software.

Re: Way OT: PDA's, Christmas & Wap dev

[Larry C. Lyons]

Paul,

AT the developer's conference last month Charlie Arehart gave a talk on
developing for WAP and WML. One of the more interesting parts (hell it
was all interesting frankly) is that Phone.com has a mobile phone
simulator, so if you want to experiment with developing for WML and WAP,
you do not need to specifically buy a phone or hand held.

BTW from what I've been reading (I have both platforms here and at home)
both HandSpring and Palm easily connect to the Macs. However the
Handspring comes with the USP adapter. With the Palm its an extra
accessory.

As honest as bush then. At least Gore doesn't giggle when he signs death

Aside from that, lets keep politics out of CF-Talk. I cannot stand

Re: CSV-to-Query

[Larry C. Lyons]

Richard, 

Go to http://www.nateweiss.com/taggallery/ and look at CFX_CSVToQuery -
it will put a CSV file into a CF Query.

Re: WAY OT: Mac services and NT

[Larry C. Lyons]

I've used both Thursby Systems DAVE and Miramar's PCMacLan. MAcLan is
for putting a PC on a Mac network. I use that with our home net work (2
macs 2 PC's) its very simple and easy to use. It also comes with server
software so you can use the PC as a server on the AppleTalk network. 

DAVE is almost as simple, it convinces the PC network that the Mac is
just another PC. Fairly seamless, relatively fast. Essentially all you
need to do is to enter the Mac's TCP/IP address and make sure the proper
permissions are set and it simply works. No complaints and no errors, so
far. We can see the mac as another machine on the network and vice
versa.

regards,

larry

Re: Protecting Proprietary Content

[Larry C. Lyons]

Terry,

You may want to look at something like ClickToLearn Toolbook or
Macromedia Authorware. Both allow for database access, content
protection and can be run off the web. They both have a lot of wizards
and preprogrammed objects that make developing web based learning apps
easier. However with both they require you to learn another language -
both are fairly easy however.

Re: [cd-rom based applications]

[Larry C. Lyons]

Shawn,

I don't think that CF can do this. What you want is a stand alone app
that can access a database. Probably the best way to do this is with M$
Director with a database plugin.

Re: Dynamic image display question?

[Larry C. Lyons]

Rick,

Here's what I do. 

First, I'm assuming here that the directory for your images is a
subdirectory of the current template directory. Given that I typically
set up a ColdFusion variable for the image directory as:



This allows me just to have the name of the image file in the database
without path information, as that may change at any point.

Then I run a query to get the image stuff:


  SELECT ImageName,Caption,image_ID,Short_Desc
  FROM   Images
  ORDER BY   image_ID


Then I make sure that the image really exists in the specified
directory, and if it does, display the image, otherwise display a
default image:




 

 


hth,

larry
