Seriously? Just to point it out, you aren't paying attention.

Let me paraphrase my previous statement for those that like to not bother
reading and be a smart(dumb) ass.

Nathan DID NOT reply to a 7-yr-old thread.

Thank you for playing along.

Re: Is time for a change?

2014-11-11 Thread Matt Quackenbush

While there might not be features you're compelled to upgrade to get,
security *should* be something of concern. CF7 is ancient, completely
unsupported, and riddled with security features. That said, I cannot in
good conscience recommend paying for a CF license, no matter what version
or what features it might or might not have.

I would *strongly* recommend that you research a VPS from Vivio (
https://www.viviotech.net/) and use Railo. There's a reasonable chance that
you will be able to run your old CF7 apps as-is on Railo, as long as you
haven't done much dipping into the underlying classes or "undocumented
features". Vivio's support is second to none, and they are a huge supporter
of the CFML community.

I only have one response when people are looking for CFML hosting.

Use Vivio! https://www.viviotech.net/

I was once told, "If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all." As
such, I'll refrain from commenting on any other CFML host. :-)

I don't see a `cw-auth-firstdata.cfm` in the CW4 code base. However, the

Re: Having trouble with cfcI have removed all references to site_theartoflovingcatsanddogs_com and deleted the template cache. No luck. Any help?

2014-07-21 Thread Matt Quackenbush

I am trying really, really, really, really hard to not be rude here, but
there's no way you can have 15 years of CF experience as you've claimed in
other threads. Each thread you've posted recently has displayed an absolute
dearth of information with which we can even attempt to help you, but
they've also displayed an absolute clear lack of any troubleshooting effort
of your own. We **WANT** to help people; it's why we are on these mailing
lists. However, you ___must___ be willing to help yourself, first. We are
not your own personal help desk.

Please review the following links and then report back.

http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/CFMLRef/index.html

My apologies if I've incorrectly remembered the CF version you're using; I
believe you previously said CF9, so that's the link I provided. If it's
another version, links to the documentation are readily available by
Googling "CF {version number} documentation".

Thanks.

By the way, I apologize for my brevity earlier. I would give the long
answer (i.e. how to do it), too, but, well, I haven't used Windows in
several years and it's been even longer since I used ACF, so I've never
personally done a side-by-side install on Windows.

Re: Unable to add text to HTML HEAD tag

2014-05-07 Thread Matt Quackenbush

It's too bad you feel that way. You asked an open-ended question ("Any
suggestions?"), and I gave you the best advice I can give. If I were
personally tackling the problem you face, I would do so exactly as I
suggested. I won't apologize for that, because it is exceptionally sound
advice, and was a direct answer to the exact question you asked.
Additionally, I did not in any way, shape, or form criticize you or anyone
else, and I certainly formed no opinion on your intellect or experience
level.

Suggestion #1: Stop using any and all CF UI tags. Use JavaScript, whether
you write it from scratch or rely on a JS framework such as jQuery.

Suggestion #2: Refer to Suggestion #1.

There's your answer. Seriously, one should never use any of the CF UI tags.
They render horrific JavaScript and are terrible for one's own skill
development.

That has to be one of the most uneducated posts I have ever read.

For those reading this in the future, please never succumb to the
ridiculous thought that closed source equates to security or that open
source equates to insecurity. the fact of the matter is that neither
closed- nor open-source is inherently more or less secure than the other.
Do your homework and never listen to uneducated opinions/statements like

I ever would. The only conceivable efficiency for cfform is for a developer
that knows essentially nothing other than following along with his / her
WACK and got to the part that says, "Oh, shiny!"

And no, that's not actually efficient. I wouldn't even use cfform for a
prototype of the most basic of applications. Seriously.

Re: Honest question about cfform

I'm not sure what you're asking (saying?), but if you're asking me if it's
worth not using cfform the answer is a resounding hell yes! There is no
viable use case for cfform in my world.

Re: Honest question about cfform

2014-03-03 Thread Matt Quackenbush

The business case is that it is bloated, outdated (i.e. the Javascript
libraries that it utilizes), and it is not even good Javascript at that.
Maybe you would be better served giving your case for it and then folks can
provide counterpoints.

But the answer to the question you asked is what I gave. ;-)

Re: How do I pass this jQuery variable as arguments to a cfc method?

2014-01-15 Thread Matt Quackenbush


It is **impossible** to "use document.write java script (sic) to write the
variable to a CF variable". Cannot be done. Why? Because CF variables are
only available on the server side, and are long gone figments of one's
imagination by the time the HTML/JavaScript/CSS/etc. reaches the client
side (the browser).

You can, however, use JavaScript to write a form field value or to directly
POST/GET to/from a CFC once the page has loaded in the browser.

Re: valid ColdFusion MX 7 download-link

2013-12-10 Thread Matt Quackenbush

I'd be very surprised if you found an active download link for CF7. Most
likely the only way that's going to happen is if someone has the installer
file laying around somewhere and puts it on their server for you.

CF7 is 4 major versions old now, and has not been supported for years now.
If you don't want to pay for a new license (totally understandable), I
would recommend looking at Railo instead. Not only is Railo free, it is
infinitely better than CF7 - not to mention more secure and actively
supported.

Switch to 64-bit. :-)

3.4GB of RAM, and that just ain't gonna cut it.)

The answer is still the same: What you are expecting will never be

No, it doesn't. You're flat out wrong. CF does not, has not, and never will
parse HTML.

It only looks for CFML code to parse, and handles it accordingly.

I know you've been told this repeatedly and so I'm probably just wasting my
breath (finger energy, I suppose), but you are 100% incorrect. 100% WRONG.

Here's a 100% accurate statement that is based upon your 100% inaccurate
one:

CF does not execute html files unless your web server is specifically
custom-configured to do so. In a default CF installation, CF only executes
*.cfm(l) and *.cfc files. At no time does CF parse the entire file that it
executes, but rather, it relies on specific syntax and code constructs -
CFML and/or CFScript - to determine its parsing boundaries. CF never has
and never will parse HTML. Period.

You are correct that by setting a CF mapping "named" `/foo` you can then
reference the mapping "by name" as simply `/foo` rather than needing to
write out the full path.

> it int o html.

You are 100% WRONG if you think CF does anything with mappings for any
purpose other than **CFML FILE SYSTEM ACCESS**.

Re: move database with Java

2013-09-17 Thread Matt Quackenbush

Super simple, as long as you don't try and reinvent the wheel (i.e. don't
do it with CF). Use mysqldump to create a dump of the db, then put that
file wherever you need it to be. There are a variety of data transfer
options out there, but it'll depend upon your servers, etc.

Re: json ReferenceError: $ is not defined error

As myself and others replied on your other identical thread:

jQuery is not loaded or is in conflict with another library and $ is not
defined.  Make sure you have jQuery loaded.

That seems to indicate that jQuery isn't loaded, or perhaps you have
another js library that is in conflict with jQuery.

Re: Fusion Authority

2013-08-23 Thread Matt Quackenbush

Wow. The most recent FAQU was released in December 2009. I am shocked to
hear that a link to purchase a magazine that had been dead and gone for 3.5
years by June 2013 was active. Even more shocked to hear that a payment was
accepted.

Re: Using IN() within a cfquery statement

2013-08-19 Thread Matt Quackenbush

I take an entirely different viewpoint on Dave's answer. I read the
original post and declined to answer because it seemed pretty obvious that
ZERO effort was put in place by the questioner to find an answer. My bet is
Dave had a similar feeling regarding the effort, but instead of declining
to answer gave the quickest and easiest answer that could/would be found by
a quick search or perusal of the documentation. Sometimes RTFM *is* the
appropriate response. ;-)

Re: CF10 Dev Edition...

2013-08-13 Thread Matt Quackenbush

I don't know about CF10 (have never downloaded it), but historically
speaking, CF's dev editions - at least back to MX, if memory serves me
correctly - have been limited to connections from just two IPs. Presumably
that is what you're experiencing?

Re: Confused: java.lang.NullPointerException CF9

2013-07-20 Thread Matt Quackenbush


Without seeing any code we're just grasping at straws. My first guess is
that you have a mapping that's not set correctly, and a call to a CFC (or
perhaps an include) is not finding its target.

 I did. And you flatly stated that my "example is (not) relevant". I
was merely pointing out - mostly for those who happen upon this thread
later, since they'll hopefully read and comprehend - that your assessment
is flatly wrong.

Re: Best means of setting a library of reusable code

2013-06-25 Thread Matt Quackenbush


You do it exactly like I said you do it: Pass it in as either an argument
or a property. When you instantiate your contact.cfc, you pass in
everything it needs from "outside" in order to do its job.

The example I gave is completely relevant, albeit not an example of your
exact situation. I don't know your exact situation and I'm not going to
write your code for you, but I - along with others here - have definitely
given you all the information you need to apply the principles to your
exact scenario.

Hang on a minute. If I understand this correctly 

So, how do I make the variables from application.cfc available to
> contact.cfc under
> such a scenario? Does the "extends" functionality of cfc's solve this?


... you're thinking about adding `extends="Application"` to your
contact.cfc?  If that's a correct understanding on my part, then the answer
is: "HELL NO! DO NOT USE EXTENDS!"

Your CFCs should be self-contained and any "outside" variables they need
should be passed in as either arguments or properties. Here's a contrived
example.

// foo.cfc
component
{
property name="datasourcename"

function init( required string datasourcename )
{
variables.datasourcename = arguments.datasourcename
return this
}

function doQuery()
{
// your query goes here
return mycoolquery
}
}

// test.cfm
foo = createObject( 'component', 'foo' ).init( application.datasourcename )
writeDump( foo.doQuery )

Re: (ot) jQuery Select

2013-06-05 Thread Matt Quackenbush

First you're telling the window to move to the new URL before the submit
line. This means that the submit is never reached in the processing cycle.

Next, when you remove the location change, "nothing happens" because you're
explicitly saying to do nothing. Remove the function from the submit() and
watch the magic take place.

Re: checking for encryption

2013-05-25 Thread Matt Quackenbush

Try/catch around the decryption? If you get that known message you could
ignore it and move on.

I'm not saying this is a good solution, but could get you going. The main
issue would be if the key was changed or something like that, it'd hit the
same exception.

Off the top of my head I am not aware of anything that specifically checks
for encryption. I don't use that stuff much. There might be something in
the underlying Java that you can get at.

Re: Form Fields suddenly self validating? Now required?

2013-05-21 Thread Matt Quackenbush

Link(s)?

CF cannot do anything on the client side (i.e. in the browser). JavaScript
is required for any validation to take place on the client side. Without
seeing code / markup it's impossible to say beyond that.

I've never looked at CF10 so I'm not familiar with whatever packaging Adobe
decided to go with, but in a normal Tomcat installation on Linux (have no

Re: same URL if moving app to new CF instance ?

2013-03-15 Thread Matt Quackenbush

I don't think I'm understanding the question. You can configure your
domains to point to whatever URL you want them to point to, assuming you
have control of the domain and server(s) in question.

I think a lot more info is required in order to answer the underlying
question you seem to be having.

Your application timeout is seriously set to 10 seconds??  I suspect that

Re: Hosting - Clear Template Cache required

I can't speak to whether or not they're right about CF10 (I've never used
it), but I doubt they're right. That said, in reference to your third
question, my answer is:

None. I would instead recommend that you use Railo with an Vivio Tech (
https://www.viviotech.net/) server/hosting account. They have the greatest
customer service on the planet, and are just downright frequin awesome. :-)

I'd say that's a really good reason for you to have previously not agreed
with the notion of a developer being able to configure his/her own
**development** environment - you had (apparently) never seen or heard of
it before.  However, I think that's a terrible excuse to completely
discount the notion now that it has been presented to you.

I doubt that. Lazy, perhaps? I might could see how you could say that, but
my bet is you're not exactly "stoopid". ;-)

In my opinion, it is unthinkable to call oneself a developer and yet have
no clue how to configure your own ***development*** environment.  The key
here is **DEVELOPMENT** environment.  Like Ray, I would
never hire - or recommend for hire - someone to fill a developer's role if
they were unable to configure their own **development** environment. There
are many, many, many reasons for that, and saving the IT department time is
probably least among those reasons.

   - To be a developer, one has to be able to configure a **development**
   environment for oneself to work in. If one can't do that, then one can't
   develop. Development _requires_ basic understanding of how things work. It
   doesn't matter if you're talking web development, desktop development,
   rocket development, landscape development, or any other kind of
   development. Basic understanding of the environment one is developing for
   is absolutely required.

   - If someone calls themselves a "developer", then I fully EXPECT them to
   not just copy/paste/churn "code" for whatever project I've placed them on,
   but to also tinker and play and be in a constant state of learning, even on
   their own time. If they aren't doing that, then they are simply here to be
   babysat and collect a check. I don't believe in babysitting or paying for
   people to be babysat. :-)

   - One cannot truly progress as a developer if one cannot build their own
   **development** environment. If they're dependent upon someone else to
   configure their **development** environment, then they're stuck with
   whatever they're given and will never venture outside that to see what else
   is out there. And I assure you, "seeing what else is out there" is
   paramount to growing and becoming better at what you do.

I tried to boil it down in just a few points, but there are many reasons
why one MUST be able to configure their own **development** environment.
This thread is filled with them.

By the way, hopefully readers of this post have noticed a recurring theme:
**development** environment.  In no way, shape, or form, do I expect a
developer to be able to set up and monitor/maintain a _production_
environment. That is an entirely different animal, and is best left to
those who specialize in (and enjoy!) the server management of things.
Having said that, I believe that it is a natural progression for a
developer to learn how to set up and maintain a server. I just don't expect
them to do that as part of their development duties.

My apologies. I came into the thread late, and had only seen bits about
"getting started". I didn't realize that the OP was asking specific
questions about SVN.

I still agree with Adam, though, that one getting started with source
control should look at Git as well.

The context of the OP is that of getting started with source control - any
source control. In that context, the learning curve exists no matter what
source control technology one decides on. And it's definitely no greater
for Git vs. SVN or SVN vs. Git. No source control to source control is a
deliberate change in one's philosophy and work flow. It is unfair to paint
Git as a bad choice because you have been using SVN for years and prefer
its tooling, and especially unfair given the context of this thread.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have helped folks go from no source
control (again, the context of the OP) to using Git - on Windows, even
(which I don't use) - in a matter of a few hours. Were they using all of
the advanced features of Git in a matter of a few hours? Of course not, but
they went from no source control to source control in a matter of a few
hours, and their work flow was dramatically improved right away.

The bottom line is, today, in 2013, if you are **getting started** with
source control, Git is undeniably de facto standard, and THE way to go. Its
learning curve - to a newbie to source control - is no greater than
anything else, and once they are no longer a newbie they will find it
infinitely more powerful and productive than any of the older source
control technologies.

Re: Source control in CF

2013-01-30 Thread Matt Quackenbush

Testing should be done on your topic branch. Git makes this so ridiculously
simple that I'm not even sure how to respond to the (apparent) assertion
that it's difficult. Committing and merging is one of the areas where SVN
can't even begin to compare with Git in terms of simplicity - or power. But
that's really not a "hey, let's get you started with source control" kind
of conversation.

I'll just say that anyone that thinks Git is difficult in this area has
either a) never tried Git, or b) didn't read/understand the documentation
or have someone help them through it. I've helped folks move their projects
from no source control (their "source control" was creating zip files of
the project folder every once in awhile) to using Git, and they've never
looked back.

I agree with Adam here completely. SVN is mejor que nada, but if you're in
an environment where anyone other than yourself is going to be committing,
Git annihilates SVN.

I would strongly encourage you to look at GitHub, as it makes things so
simple to get started. And, if you're on a Windows machine, they even now
have a Windows client that makes getting started with Git even simpler.

Re: Extending a Component vs. Passing an Object

A service object is a service object and a DAO is a DAO. They are two very
different objects that serve two very different purposes in an application.
"Prefer composition over inheritance." In other words, keep doing what
you're doing there (injecting the DAO).

Re: Difficulty in creating a dynamic query

It is a fact that using  outside of  will result in
it being seen by CF as purely string text. It will never be executed as an
actual .

I obviously do not know what you're dealing with, specifically, but it
sounds like you have a "god" query on your hands, and it really needs to be
split up into separate methods/functionality. That is, of course, from the
outside looking in. :-)

@ Anyone building dynamic queries: PLEASE **DO NOT** follow that advice.
You will regret it, eventually. If the data you're dealing with is
sensitive enough, you might even go to prison over it.

The proper solution is the one already mentioned by Steve and Bill. Build
the statement - with  - inside of the  block.

You seem to be mixing Application.cfc syntax (this.applicationTimeout) and
Application.cfm syntax (). If you're using App.cfc, and I
would suggest you do, then I would not expect the  tag to
work. I could be wrong, though, as I've never tried that. Something to
check on, nonetheless.

If you're wanting rows to be sorted randomly, you should be doing this at

Re: Need help finding new CF Hosting

2012-12-18 Thread Matt Quackenbush

I would highly recommend a VPS with Viviotech. They also have shared plans,
although I'm not certain what is allowed/disallowed under those plans.

Re: moving CF from one machine to another

2012-12-15 Thread Matt Quackenbush

I don't use ColdFusion anymore, so I don't remember exactly where it is in
the menu, but you're looking for the "CAR" files - ColdFusion Archive
Resource, as I recall.  Anyway, it seems to me that it was under "Package
Deployment" or something like that, way down at the bottom of the left-hand
nav menu.

Re: Converting JS variable to CF variable

2012-12-14 Thread Matt Quackenbush

JS is client-side. CF is server-side. By the time the page gets to the
client where JS can/is run, CF is already completely out of the picture.

You could...

a) set a CF variable and render it as a JS variable
b) get fancy with some ajax to send off a request to CF to set/get a
variable and send back a response that you inject into the page somewhere

Re: Regular Expression - decimal number positive & negative

2012-12-14 Thread Matt Quackenbush


A contrived, slightly expanded example based upon Nathan's code...


samples = {
a = "5.24",
b = "-5.24",
c = "5",
d = "-5",
e = "$5.24",
f = "$5,244.22"
};
for ( key in samples )
{
writeOutput( reReplace( reReplace( samples[key], '(-?\d+(\.\d+)?)',
'\1', 'all' ), '[^0-9\.-]', '', 'all' ) & "" );
}
