structKeyExists is my preference. As whether or not there is a
performance gain, I'm sure others will be glad to debate. And it won't
be the first time.

 How do you reset application variables?

 I am using application.cfc to set some application variables and cant figure 
 out how to reset them so they reload with different data.

One way is to add this in onRequestStart:
cfif structKeyExists(url, 'init') AND url.init EQ myInitPass
  cfset onApplicationStart() /
/cfif

Then you can reset them by adding init=myInitPass into the url.

Re: OT: ThickBox (JQuery)

Steve, as for modal,
add modal=true and clicking the parent is disabled. Though you will
need to add a button or link that calls tb_remove() or you can't exit
it all.

I haven't tried any dragging. The sources the others have mentioned
will be best for that and future questions.

Re: Dead Beat Clients.

On Feb 2, 2008 6:55 PM, angry housewife [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I have watched my husband work very hard for three or four contracts in the 
 last six months where he has only been paid ten percent of his total invoiced 
 hours. My husband never signs a contract where the work has to be completed 
 before he is paid, yet every client of his who has not paid uses this as an 
 excuse not to pay because the work or project is not completed.

 The only work my husband ever seems to get paid in full for is for work done 
 on-site.

I'm sorry, but this really sounds like bad business not on the part of
the client, but on your husband's part. If the same client did not pay
several different contractors, they are probably at fault. If the same
contractor doesn't get paid by several different clients, he is
probably at fault.

Yes there are deadbeat clients out there. Perhaps a list would be
helpful. But maybe your husband doesn't need instead of a list of
clients to avoid. Maybe he needs some training / help in drafting
contracts and dealing with said dead-beat clients.

I've done very little on contract myself, but if I ever started, I
would seek some help from someone more experienced first. Someone like
Jeff Houser on this list generally has the best advice and has
experience with clients of all types. He has been burned, but has not
come here bitching and moaning and wanting to name names. He figures
out what went wrong and tries to fix it for future clients. Your
husband (and yourself) would do well to do the same. And / Or hire
someone to train / help you learn how to deal with the past problems.

If such a deadbeat list were to exist, I may look at it as a reference
to beware of. But I'm not likely to accept it as gospel that the
client will not pay. I would have to question the contractor who put
the name there in the first place. Did they really deliver what the
client asked for? What kind of communication did he have with the
client? Etcetera, etcetera. I know that there are 2 sides to every
story. Simply putting a client name on a list is very one-sided.

Just my 2 cents.

Re: Dead Beat Clients.

2008-02-03 Thread Matt Williams
It is true that I do not have much contracting experience. And I am
probably naive about all the things that can go wrong. Because of this
and due to Isaac's comments, I will retract my comment that because a
contractor has had several non-paying clients that the contractor is
at fault.

On the other hand, I will uphold my belief that there is two sides
(maybe even more, if there are other middle-men or vendors at play) to
the story. I'm not saying that a list is necessarily a bad idea. What
I am saying, and what I would encourage every other developer to do,
is take that list with a grain of salt. Heh, if I was approached by a
client that I knew had the worst reputation on the dead-beat list, I
would probably ask them about it straight up. But I would not
immediately rule them out until I felt I had both (all) sides of the
story.

As for a union, who knows, maybe it is a good idea. It would take a
bit more dissatisfaction than the few on this list before it would
happen. I know there are a lot of developers that have been burned,
but are probably quite satisfied overall.

I also will uphold my belief that getting some help on contracts and
communication with clients is always a good idea. Just like always
trying to expand and improve your programming skill, even the
experienced contractors should keep learning how to better deal with
clients.

My humble opinions,

Matt Williams

Re: Starting up work environment

2008-02-01 Thread Matt Williams
Maybe they will start sequentially. I haven't actually tried it to
tell the truth.
As for not restarting. I used to do that, but starting noticing a
slowness and other intermittent problems if I don't shut down at
night. Basically I would end up having to reboot after a couple of
hours in the morning anyway.

I hadn't thought of Warren's idea of a separate login, but I think I
would still rather have an on-demand way to start all the programs.

Perhaps I'll just try a batch file and see if they run as expected. I
guess even if they aren't sequential, it doesn't matter, they'll just
take longer to boot, but would anyway.

The only thing I'm not sure how to do is start the VPN connection. Is
there an exe associated with this? Or some flags to an exe?

As for the quick launch idea, I abandoned it a long time ago. I use
the Pin to Start Menu instead. All my often used programs are just
in the Start menu and I don't have to navigate through All Programs. I
prefer this over the quick launch because I like my task bar real
estate for the open windows. Oh, and I don't have anything on my
desktop. I have desktop icons turned off. That just seems like a very
un-handy place to put things. As soon as one program is maximized,
they are no longer easily accessible. Thus, the pin to start menu
idea.

 If you just start each program directly from the batch file, they'll start
 sequentially. You can spawn programs so that the batch file continues
 running while the programs are starting, though, I think.

  Are there other solutions?

 Suspend mode? Why bother restarting?

SOT: Starting up work environment

2008-02-01 Thread Matt Williams
Does anybody have an automated way to start up your work environment
(Windows)? I don't think I want to use the windows startup folder
because I wouldn't want it everytime I start the computer. I work at
home and my work laptop is also my personal laptop. I'm thinking a
batch file is what I'm looking for, but not sure.

For example, each morning for work I open the following:
FireFox
IE
Trillian
VPN Connection
Outlook
Eclipse
MS SQL Mgt Studio Express
A folder on my C: drive

I know a batch file can do this, but is it going to do them all at
once? If so, is there a way to make it pause between each?

Are there other solutions?

Thanks.

Re: Consultant's Revenge

Seeing as how it is anonymous, companies would come after the site
owner for anything they feel is untruthful (you know, the beyond the
shadow of a doubt type thing). Be careful trying to recreate a
judicial court.

On Jan 31, 2008 5:05 PM, Joseph Smuzynski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 After dealing with a few too many disreputable companies, I'm just about
 ready to build a new site that is sort of a cross between
 f*ckedcompany.comand ChexSystems.

 The idea is to have a site where consultants of all types can come and
 anonymously post their negative experiences with various companies, large or
 small.  The hope is that with proper marketing, it will become the first
 place a consultant comes to check out a company before doing work for them.

 If a company ends up with a negative listing, the way they get the listing
 removed is to make good with the consultant, then the consultant can mark
 the case closed.  Naturally, if they have multiple bad entries, they would
 have to make good with everybody.

 The site would not allow inflammatory types of comments about a company;
 only facts.  Each entry would be reviewed and approved before being posted.
 There would have to be supporting data too... for example, let's say a
 company refused to pay your last invoice.  You would need to provide a copy
 of your last invoice and a work log to document it.

 All listings would have to include proof that you actually worked for the
 company... e.g. copies of pay stubs, a copy of the contract, etc.  Otherwise
 the site could be used for extortion and would lose it's advantage because
 it wouldn't be taken seriously.

 So, the point is to help show companies that they have to treat consultants
 well... pay their people what they're owed, treat them kindly, etc.
 Otherwise these companies may find themselves unable to get people to work
 for them anymore.

 I don't see this being a lawsuit magnet either.  Each posting would have to
 be factual, not emotional.  No slanderous or libelous remarks.  Just facts.
 It would boil down to the consultant's word against the company.  No names
 of people would be mentioned, so you couldn't call people out by name.  You
 could go as far as to say your supervisor was a micro-manager but you
 couldn't say, my supervisor, Bill Smith, was a micro-manager and was always
 giving me a hard time.

 Sure, the easier way is to just post about 'em here on cf-jobs-talk, but
 then you're likely to end up with a bad rap since a lot of job posters read
 this list too, no doubt looking for anybody who might be willing to speak
 out.

 I haven't really decided what to call the site either.  I'm not even sure
 yet if I'll do it; I'm curious to hear what others think of the idea.

To clarify, the first part of the jquery selector -
$('table.tablesorterLQ') - translates to English as Select any table
with the class of tablesorterLQ. That is why you don't need to
iterate over the multiple tables or use the id attribute. It is
already selecting all of those tables and applying the tablesorter
functionality to them.

Re: A Very Sophisticated Query

2008-01-11 Thread Matt Williams
Chad, that means order by Transaction_ID descending FIRST, then order
by Bin_Name ascending SECOND.

So where there are rows with the same Transaction_ID, the order will
be by Bin_Name.



On Jan 11, 2008 9:39 AM, Chad Gray [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 You can do this?

 ORDER BY BinD.Transaction_ID DESC, Bin.Bin_Name ASC

 I will have to experiment with that.  I did not know this was possible to 
 ORDER each joined table a different way.

   I know there are a few SQL savants on this list so I wanted to see if I
   might learn something from one of you.  I believe this is a very
   sophisticated query... at least for me it is  A real head scratcher
   ;-)  And I really need to figure this out!
  
   So here goes...
   There is some Lot of parts being manufactured ... so we have the Lot
   Table.
  
   Each part in the Lot has a unique Serial ID to identify it in the Lot it
   belongs to... so we have the Serial Table.
  
   Each unique serialized part is broken up into multiple pieces and each
   piece receives a Bin designation for it's Grade so we have a Bin Table.
  
   The pieces are grades several time... and every time the Lot is Graded
   the
   results for each Serialized part in the Lot are stored in the BinD (D
   for
   Detail), table and they all share the same incrementing Transaction_ID
   for
   when the Grading was done.
  
   Now the task is two fold.
  
   1st task - Given a Lot_ID, query the most recent BinD_Quantities
   recorded
   for each of the Serial_ID's in the Lot.
  
   I've been trying to do this by creating loops inside of loops inside of
   loops, each one running a query at the center of each respective loop.
  
   IE  Query Lots,
   Loop through Lots and query Serials,
   Loop through Serials and query BinD records.
  
   But heres the rub(at least for me ;-) How to query the most recent
   set
   of BinD records?   Or better yet a single query that pulls the results
   of
   all the serials for a Trans_ID broken out by Bin_ID, Summed Bin
   Quantity.
  
   2nd task - Given a Serial_ID, generate a table listing showing the
   various
   values the Bins held in the past up to the most recent Grading...(ie,
   the
   serial with the highest Transaction_ID)
  
   Lot Table

Re: OT: When to purchase Flex

ValueList and Peformance

2007-12-13 Thread Matt Williams
Reviewing some older code, I found this.

cfif qKeyword.recordCount lte 150
cfset searchCriteria.tmpIDList = valueList(qKeyword.key) /
/cfif

qKeyword is the results from a Verity search. The code is taking the
key column from that (which translates to the Primary Key) and
converting it to a list so that we can run another query to get actual
data columns. The query will use WHERE myID IN
(#searchCriteria.tmpIDList#).

Does anyone know why the developer would have wanted this list only if
the record count is LTE 150? The Verity results often return more than
150 records causing the cfset to not run, thus the query to get the
actual data columns returns all records (the WHERE myID IN () clause
doesn't run at all if tmpIDList isn't there). Doh!

Are there any performance issues with using ValueList() on say 500+ records?

What about performance of the query for doing WHERE myID IN (#List Of
500+ IDs#)?

Other workarounds for this issue?

  If I remember correctly, a List can only hold so much data. After that I

  be ok with 500 records. For search terms you would be running close to the

Re: VPS hosting, anyone?

2007-12-13 Thread Matt Williams
I've been hosting with Viviotech for a little over a year now and
couldn't be happier. The support has been great when I need it. Not
having to worry about the Shared Hosting headaches I read about so
much on this list is worth a little extra price to me. Not to mention
my cost is offset by the clients' annual hosting fee anyway.

Note, though, that pricing for a CF8 setup is significantly higher
than CF7. $70/mo higher at VivioTech ($25 vs $95). With a year or more
contract, that $95/mo is approaching the price of just outright buying
a copy of Standard for yourself.

Filemaker Pro

2007-12-12 Thread Matt Williams
A client has a pre-built system on Filemaker Pro 9. The db is hosted.
The website is on a different host.

Am I able to remotely query that db with CF? If so, what is involved?
Does the Filemaker host need to do anything special other than provide
me with the IP, db and login info?

I'm guessing I would need the Filemaker JDBC driver installed on the CF server.

Any pointers are appreciated.

Doing the attachment part of value makes the prompt come up for the
user to save or open the spreadsheet.  #filename# is the suggested
name of the file if the user selects to save it. file=#myFilePath#
and deleteFile=true are probably not needed in your case. In my
case, I'm actually creating an excel document (not just sending html
to excel) that gets saved on the server, then sent to the client.

 I'll give your code a try. In the lines below, what's the difference between

Re: OOP Coldfusion

2007-10-11 Thread Matt Williams
The quick way to fix this issue is to just set the argument type to
any. Coldfusion is dynamic and can handle that just fine. However,
this can make debugging the app more difficult because instead of
getting a helpful type-casting error, you may get something like tthe
method cannot be found, further down the line of code execution.

The slower way to fix this issue, and probably the better in the long
run way, would be to learn and use ColdSpring to handle your object
instantiation and dependencies. Using ColdSpring, you would declare
the classes and their dependencies in an xml file and then do
something like
cfset page = application.CSFactory.getBean('page') /

It will already have an instance of head in it because of the xml declarations.

 Hi All,

 I'm working on an OOP project and am having a bit of a problem with objects
 referencing each other.

 My folder structure is

 /siteRoot/

 /siteRoot/core (Where all my classes are)

 /siteRoot/core/valueObjects

 I'm quite early on in the build so I'm just setting up my value classes.

 I've got two classes in there, one called Page, the other called Head.

 Back at the root I'm instantiating these classes in a cfm file called
 testing.

 cfset page = CreateObject(component,core.valueObjects.Page).init()
 cfset head =
 CreateObject(component,core.valueObjects.Head).init(title:This is a new
 title)

 So far so cool.  The problem is that one of the properties of the Page class
 is a Head object.

 This is populated with this function in the Page class

 cffunction name=setHead access=public hint=Sets the Head Object

  cfargument name=head type=core.valueObjects.Head required=yes

 cfset variables.head = ARGUMENTS.head

 /cffunction

 However when I call the function from the testing page with :

 cfset page.setHead(head)

 I get an error : -

 The HEAD argument passed to the setHead function is not of type
 core.valueObjects.Head.

 When as far as I'm concerned it is.  The fix I came up with is to change the
 argument in the setHead function to be only Head.  Now this sort of works as
 Page and Had live in the same folder, but I can see problems further down
 the line unless I get this clear in my head.

 So am I a - doing this wrong, should there be a special place or method of
 creating CF classes where they can reference each other with complete class
 paths?
 b - Just accept that the classes can only reference each other
 relatively?
 c - Go back to actionscript and stop pretending to be a server
 side coder?

 Thanks in advance

Re: Name of uploaded file before cffile

2007-10-10 Thread Matt Williams
Right Ian. I understand that part.

But consider this:
1) User uploads myFile.txt
2) CF puts it into c:\temporary\directory\neo12345.tmp
3) Form field value has c:\temporary\directory\neo12345.tmp
4) code calls cffile action=upload ... /
5) If I did not specify a new file name in the destination attribute,
the file retains the myFile.txt name.
6) If I specified a variable for the result attribute (e.g.
myUploadResult), I can get to that file name via
myUploadResult.clientFile

My question, and this is more out of curiosity than anything, is how
does CF remember the original user's file name of myFile.txt
between steps 3 and 4 above. Looking through the various scopes
doesn't seem to reveal it. The form field, as you mentioned is a
random name in a temporary directory.

Matt

On 10/10/07, Ian Skinner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 I presume the file name is part of the HTTP data sent by the browser

 you will see a long random character name of the temporary file created
 by the web server that is where ColdFusion gets the file to move where
 specified by the cffile call.

Re: AOP in ColdSpring and ModelGlue

2007-10-08 Thread Matt Williams
My understanding of AOP is that it really shouldn't affect the process
flow of a request. Partly because it would be messy for it to have
access to the request (event, or whatever). And partly because it just
isn't what AOP is for.

As Brian mentioned, things like logging are more appropriate. I have
also used it for a notification type of service where if certain data
changes, I fire off an email. The advice is not changing any data, but
simply comparing old with new and acting upon that comparison.

AOP seems to make more sense for behind the scenes type of stuff, not
validation where a request will be changed based on the results of
that validation.

 Hello Brian,

 Thanks a great deal for the detailed reply, it does help make things a
 little clearer. You're right to say that my example was hardcoded values and
 this would most defiantly be difficult to validate using AOP, however in a
 real working example I have a nice little validation service adapted from
 Javier Julios data Validator component which allows me to define data
 validation rules for variables by name, so the advice object would be
 passing the variable 'name' off to the validation service and the service
 would then find the correct rules for that variable and test it against them
 accordingly. So in my case, being able validate variables on the fly using
 AOP is certainly plausible.

 Like you say the general principle of this process should be identical
 regardless of whether I'm using MG or not, however the problem that arises
 with MG is that the only way I can currently see this working is to adapt my
 controllers so they contain a conditional which watches for returned values
 from the proxy, and if there is one then act upon it by pushing the user
 back to the form, however this seems to totally eliminate the benefits of an
 AOP approach to the concerns as the whole point of AOP is to eliminate code
 which doesn't concern the business logic.

 If we're using something like before or after advice then this isn't a
 problem as its effectively non responsive and has no control over the work
 flow, however when trying to apply this 'about' advice, I can't see how it
 can be done without defeating its own purpose of having to watch for
 returned values. Unless of course we can give the advice object access to
 the event object.

 Thanks again mate,

 Subject: Re: AOP in ColdSpring and ModelGlue

 The fact that you're using Model-Glue should make no difference at all. If
 it is, then you're thinking about it the wrong way. I see a few problems
 with what you've said:

- AOP is really meant to eliminate duplication by encapsulating a
generic, common process so that it can be reused across many method calls
 or
components. I'm not sure validation really qualifies, since it is so
specific to the particular object or data being validated. Usual suspects
for AOP include logging, security, and data formatting. So I'm not sure
 if
what you're doing really lends itself to AOP in the first place, since I
don't see how your code is reusable. The example you gave is hardcoding a
call to getName() which already means this advice is really not going to
work with other kinds of data.
- You're right that the advice has no access to the Model-Glue event
object. It shouldn't. You have access to whatever arguments were passed
 into
the original method, and access to any return value from that method. So
 if
your UserService returns an object or a struct indicating success or
failure, along with error messages, you can manipulate that before it
 gets
returned back to the controller.

 Basically, if you can imagine dropping Model-Glue and having a web service
 call your Service (and your advice), and having it work and return data that
 the web service could use, then you're at the right conceptual level.
 Whenever this won't work (for example, you're wanting the advice to have
 access to the Model-Glue event object, which obviously would be extremely
 difficult if the client was a web service instead of Model-Glue), it means
 you aren't keeping your application layers properly encapsulated.

 Hope that helps.

Name of uploaded file before cffile

2007-10-05 Thread Matt Williams
Is it possible to get the name of the client's file before doing cffile?

I am testing for file size by doing a cfdirectory and filtering on the
neoX.tmp file name provided in the form field. If the file size is
too large, I would like to tell the user which file (this is a
multiple upload form) was denied.

I know I could upload the file to a temporary location and then move
it, but that is more than I want and defeats the purpose in a way.

I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but just wanted to double-check.

On 10/5/07, Ian Skinner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Yup, the answer is no.  Before CF has a chance to do anything, the browser 
 has read the file from the client's machine, bundled it into the response 
 header, sent the whole kit-n-caboodle to the web server, the web server has 
 parsed out the file from the header and sent it onto ColdFusion.  Then 
 ColdFusion can start doing something with it.  So by this time the file has 
 long been uploaded and transfered across the networks.

 If you want to do anything before this, it is going to have to be done client 
 side.



I figured as much, but out of curiosity, where does CF get the file
name from? It would seem it has to be somewhere temporarily between
the .tmp file and the actual cffile call. Does it reside in the actual
file meta data or something?

Rey, I think you mis-read Andrew's comment:

Now to make a comparison against CF8 and jQuery is like making a comparison
with a Hyundai Excel and a Jaguar.

This means that CF8 is the Hyundai (as far as it's Javascript
abilities) and jQuery is the Jaguar.

Multiple File Uploading

2007-08-29 Thread Matt Williams
My challenge is to provide a tool for uploading multiple files that
gives a progress/status bar as each is uploading. From what I
understand (and I'm not an expert), the progress bar part can only be
done with some sort of client side solution: ActiveX, Flash or CGI
script. Although I really like this one:
http://www.element-it.com/MultiPowUpload.aspx, we want a non-Flash
solution to accommodate those 2 or 3 users that don't/can't have flash
installed.

I'm thinking that the ActiveX part is out as it also requires an
install. There are some cheap/free  Perl CGI scripts, but can my
Windows server run this? We currently have CF7, Windows Server 2003, 
IIS 6. I don't know anything about Perl. Is it possible to use
something like this?

Or is there another solution I am missing? Thanks for any tips.

Violation of primary key error - how to troubleshoot

I need help in how to troubleshoot this issue. I get this error when
trying to do an insert.

Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'pk_FieldName'. Cannot insert
duplicate key in object 'SomeTable'.

The field in question is the primary key and is an identity column set
to auto-increment by 1. How can a table set to auto-increment violate
a primary key?

This is SQL Server 2005. I first got it in a CF page, but get the
error even if running the query directly in a query window in SQL
Server Management Studio.

Anyone with jExcel experience?

2007-06-08 Thread Matt Williams
I'm trying to use the jExcel java utility to read an Excel template,
replace an image (logo) and save it with a new name. I am having
trouble on the first step - reading the excel template. I am able to
create a new, blank workbook, so I believe the jar file is installed
correctly (placed in c:\CFusionMX7\lib).

The method to read a book is
public static Workbook getWorkbook(java.io.File file)

However, when I call getWorkbook, I get an error saying that method
cannot be found. Here is what I have that will throw that error.

workbook = createObject(java,jxl.Workbook);
file = createObject(java,java.io.File).init(C:\invoice.xls);
workbook = workbook.getWorkbook(file);

Looking for any ideas here as I have run out myself.

Re: Anyone with jExcel experience?

2007-06-08 Thread Matt Williams
Thanks for replying guys. After playing with both of your code
samples, it turns out my problem was using the word file as my
variable name. That is a keyword in java so doing getWorkbook(file)
was breaking.

On to the next step. Has anyone taken an existing image and put it
into a spreadsheet via jExcel? I'm getting a similar error, but this
time on the ImageIO java class. I've checked variable names to make
sure that isn't the problem.

Here is what I have so far (after getting a workbook and a sheet):

img = createObject(java, java.io.File).init(c:\smallBox.png);
my_input = createObject(java,javax.imageio.ImageIO).read(img);
my_baos = createObject(java,java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream);
ImageIO = createObject(java,javax.imageio.ImageIO);
ImageIO.write(my_input, png, my_baos);
wi = createObject(java,jxl.write.WritableSheet).init(javaCast('double',1),
javaCast('double',1), javaCast('double',10), javaCast('double',10),
img);
sheet.addImage(wi);

Okay. I got it working. Definitely some java strictness going on. And
being pretty much java stupid, I did much trial and error to get this

anyone in the future can find it. Using jExcel, I was able to open an

file.

!--- Get java Input File of spreadsheet template ---
cfset fileInput = createObject(java,

!--- Read that image into a java ImageIO object (allows us to get
width and height, etc.) ---
cfset myInput = createObject(java,javax.imageio.ImageIO).read(myImg) /
!--- Get instance of java ByteArrayOutputStream. This is used to
convert the image to PNG. Be sure to call init() here or things break.
---
cfset myBaos = createObject(java,java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream).init() /
!--- Convert the image to PNG, storing it into the
ByteArrayOutputStream just instantiated. ---
cfset ImageIO =
createObject(java,javax.imageio.ImageIO).write(myInput,
javaCast(string,PNG), myBaos) /
!--- Get the width and height of the image divided by some excel
default values. Without this the image is enlarged incorrectly ---

Re: Set server var at startup?

2007-06-08 Thread Matt Williams
I think I did hear Ben Forta say server variables are not recommended.
I can't remember any reasons why though.

My question would be how are you setting the server variable? Going
back to Phil B's original question of can you set it at server
startup? No.

So if you are setting server variables in Application CFC, then it
seems to me that the variable is actually an application variable.

The company I work for now uses a platform config xml file which has
server settings (which are specific to the server and application). So
each app has it's own config file, with sections in it per server.

And even if onServerStart() did exist, putting it in Application.CFC
does not make sense to me. We would need a Server.cfc or something
that existed outside of webroot, possibly in the JRun/CFusionMX
directory. Or maybe you could just set some server variables in the CF
Administrator, the way we define mappings or Data sources, etc. It
would need to be something that was loaded automatically whenever the
CF service was started.

 To the best of my knowledge, there is no such event method in CF 7. While
 you could write a method and call it onServerStart, it wouldn't run when the
 server started.

Re: Subversion and Dreamweaver 8

Elena, if you do go with Dreamweaver, you will need an external
Subversion client such as Tortoise to manage updating and committing
your local working copy. As far as I know (DW 8), DW does not have
anyway to natively support access to a SVN repository.

 Hey Elena,

 My advise for you would be to use Eclipse instead of Dreamweaver.
 You can then download CFEclipse which is the plug in for Eclipse and
 then following that install SVN which is the subversion for Eclipse.
  From that point on you need to get acquitted with the workbench in
 Eclipse and a few other things.

 As far as I know if you server scope your variable it will be

 other applications on that server. Depending on how your network is set
 up that server scoped variable might be available throughout a node of
 servers also. In my view, putting it on Application.cfc does make sense
 because the application uses functions to called methods so if
 onServerStart existed it could be called as a method through cffunction
 via the cfcomponent on the Application.cfc file.

Right Ravi. I was referring to a hypothetical onServerStart that would
be supported by Adobe, not one that I the developer manually added to
App.cfc. If the idea were to exist, then what I said would be the

True, the intention may be for server wide use, but how is it managed?
Is there a mother-App.cfc that all the other App.cfc's extend?

Or does each App.cfc have it's own copy of the server variables? Or is
there one app that must be started before others are? Seems kinda
dangerous either way you work it. Room for error.

 At the risk of self-promotion, you could check out my class at

Aaron, I understand not being able to make it to CFUnited. And because
John Paul is humble, I will also mention that he is available for
consulting on these types of issues. Getting yourself setup with
subversion correctly is money well spent. I have worked with John and
can vouch for his level of expertise in this matter.

With that said, if you want to go the poor man's route, you can do so.
It just requires a bit more effort and time on your part. Here are
some resources to get you started:
A pretty good blog entry about the concept of version control in a CF
environment:
http://www.ryanguill.com/blog/?mode=entryentry=897E322E-40CA-6D1C-8A4C3B3FE67B7FD9

Free online book about subversion (the manual):
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

Googling subversion and coldfusion turns up quite a bit of useful
links, including this one:
http://www.robgonda.com/blog/index.cfm/2005/7/7/Subversion-up-and-running-in-30-minutes-or-less

Just a note as I'm not sure if it has been made clear. To use source
control, such as subversion, you do not have to use Eclipse. You
should use source control even if you stick with Dreamweaver. In
either case you need a client program to interact with the
subversion server. Subclipse is a way to do it directly in Eclipse.
Tortoise seems to be the most popular way outside of eclipse. It
simply provides right-click context menus on any directory that is
part of a source control repository.

Hope that helps.

Re: Verity help with @ symbol

2007-03-16 Thread Matt Williams
I am doing a simple search. And I have read the manual (although I'll
admit not in as much depth as I did today). The @ symbol is definitely
a headache for me. Perhaps I have created the index in a weird way or
something. But basically I used a query to create it, with the user
first name, last, email, etc.

If I search on [EMAIL PROTECTED], I get no results. But searching
on just testEmail gets results, showing the email in there. I've
tried it with the @ symbol escaped (using @@, \@, [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Any insight, or possibly someone being able to replicate would be much
appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

 I have a CFCFactory, that generates all the DAOs and Beans as i need but
 since every record has a trace of who created it and when, and who was the

 credentials in 

 A couple of scenarios:

 [A] Should I give each logged in user their own instance  of the CFCFactory
 in the session scope,   telling the CFCFactory their login credentials when
 it's instantiated.   Then the CFCFactory passes the credentials on to each
 CFC as they're instantiated

 OR

 [B]  Have only one instance of the CFCFactory in the application scope,
 passing in the credentials to the createbean(session.userbean) or createDAO(
 session.userbean) method as it's called

 OR

 [C] I've missed the point entirely and there's a whole n'other way to look
 at it and get the user's credentials down to the final insert/update query.

Getting counts and the sum

2007-01-05 Thread Matt Williams
In SQL, is there an easy way to get the counts of something and then
also the total of all those counts? For example, I'm getting the count
of times each user has logged in, but I also need the total number for
all users.

In 2 queries, it would be like so.
--For each user...
Select userID, Count(userID) AS userCount
FROM userLogins
GROUP BY userID

--For total
Select Count(userID) AS totalCount
FROM userLogins


One solution I just tried is a bit of a hack, but it works. I did the
first query as above. Then,
cfset LoginCounts = ValueList(myQ.userCount, '+') /
cfset TotalLogins = evaluate(LoginCounts) /

Yes, it uses the dreaded evaluate, but this just may be a case where
it comes in handy. What do y'all think?

Re: Where are the Los Angeles Developers?

2006-12-20 Thread Matt Williams
I was recently hired by a So. Cal. company, but I live in Colorado and
am soon moving to Kentucky. The company looked locally, worked with
remote contractors for 6 months, and then hired 2 of them as full-time
remote team members. There does seem to be a trend to having part of
your team remote. Doing it full time will be a new venture for the
company and for me.



 I agree with this.  Also, many more developers are able to work remotely and
 live in 'less expensive' areas but still work for companies where the cost
 of living is higher.  I have a contract with a Fortune 500 company based in
 Arkansas, my manager is in Pennsylvania, and I live and work from my home
 office in Texas.  It's a regular 40 hour a week contract position, they just
 don't require to be on site.  If they required me to be on site in
 Pennsylvania, there's no way I would take the contract. I own a 4,000 square
 foot house in the Dallas Fort Worth area for $200k but in Pennsylvania, that
 would cost a minimum of $600k (if I'm lucky).

 So I was talking to a friend from my church last weekend.  He owns an
 automotive spring shop and is trying to get a website up (products,
 shopping cart etc..), but all he knows is HTML.

 His first problem in my opinion is that he is paying someone to
 hand-build hundreds of STATIC HTML pages which contain all of his
 available products.  I just couldn't seem to convince him that he REALLY
 needed a database.  But that's not what bothered me though.  Before I
 even mentioned he should use CF, I told him that's what I code in, and
 he recognized it from searching the WEB (he's done a little homework).
 His first response was, Oh, I looked at ColdFusion, but it was *way*
 too expensive.   Well, all this guy really wants/needs is a small
 hosted site in a shared environment for not more than 15 bucks a month.
 No problem.

 So, how is it that people search the web and completely miss that fact?
 He actually thought he was going to have to pay thousands of dollars for
 ColdFusion server!

 I know we've had discussions about the cost vs price of CF, but that's
 not really what this is about.  It just bugs me that when an uneducated
 (but smart) person looks on the web for the first time the impression
 they can get is Don't use CF, it will cost you thousands of dollars.
 When people sign up for cheap shared hosting accounts, they don't assume
 they will need to purchase their operations system, database licenses,
 or any of that shmoo.



 I guess it just bugs me that it is easy for people to completely turn
 away from CF without ever looking at it just because no-one was there to
 explain it. I want to see CF succeed in the market, obviously.  What can
 we do (not that we aren't already) to help spread correct info.

Re: How do I get number of birthdays?

2006-11-25 Thread Matt Williams
IF the form field doesn't exist, an error is being thrown. You may not
actually see the error depending on if a cftry is wrapped around the
query. Or sometimes I've just had errors that don't get thrown
correctly.

 Do you see anything wrong with this code (part of a larger query)

 formfields,

 Form.Earliest_Birthdate_Day and

 Form.Latest_Birthdate_Day and

 are *not* used in the form (in other words, they CFIF at the beginning
 of this part of the query should exclude this section from consideration

 Here's the code:

CFIF Form.Earliest_Birthdate_Month GT
 Form.Latest_Birthdate_Month

Re: Code Question

2006-11-14 Thread Matt Williams
Well put Mark. I'm with you on learning new tools too. If I wasn't,
I'd still be using an Apple II+ to make new Lode Runner levels
(hopefully didn't date myself too badly there).

Personally I like the Project structure. In fact, I have my .cfm and
..cfc files set to open into Notepad if I'm just double clicking it
from Windows Explorer. This is so it will open quick and I can find
what I'm looking for easily. But that is definitely rare and I usually
am in Eclipse / CFEclipse to begin with. Searching an entire project
is flexible and fast.

And Rick, I'm definitely a keyboard shortcut guy also. The CFEclipse
toolbar is turned off. I've actually adapted some of Dreamweaver's
shortcuts to be the CFEclipse default. Learning new shortcuts is
definitely frustrating at first, but if you're committed to switching
tools, it come pretty quick.

Re: Extensions

2006-11-11 Thread Matt Williams
cfc files are ColdFusion Components and are pure CF. They can be
called, but not like a regular .cfm file. You have to invoke (or
instantiate) a cfc first (several ways to do this). Then you can call
the various functions that would be defined by the programmer inside
the CF Component.

 Are there other extensions than these and what are they used for?

 Can I call a .cfc file from an form on Post? What I am trying to due
 is distinguish what parts of my site are pure CF code and what other
 parts are tied to pages that will be displayed to the user. Like
 right now I have my Login method in a .cfm file and i works, but I
 dont want someone coming behind me to get this confused for a page
 that is displayed to the user when it never gets displayed to the
 user. It just decides  if they are allowed to be here or not.

 Can I get your thoughts please?

Re: JS Rollover Not Opening New Browser Window

2006-11-03 Thread Matt Williams
Rick, I don't mean to offend in any way, but you did say your
javascript was generated. Honestly I don't see how your javascript
does anything. Here's a simple example of how you can do a link with
an image. When you mouse over the image, it changes to the 02 version
of the image. When you mouse off, it goes back to 01.

When you mouse over the image and click on it, it will first change as
described above based on the onMouseOver javascript event. The a
href tag handles opening the link in a new window (based on
target=_blank).

The main difference in what I have here is that the onMouseOver and
onMouseOut event calls are in the img tag, not the a href tag.
Also the this.id part is case sensitive, so this.ID won't work.

script type=text/javascript!--
function switchImage(imgID, imgSrc) {
document.getElementById(imgID).src = imgSrc;
}
//--/script

a href=http://www.fl.living.net/idxfirm/3087550; Target=_blank
img id=PictureRollover36 height=21 width=170
src=./Florida_Properties_01.jpg border=0 alt=
onMouseOver=switchImage(this.id,'./Florida_Properties_02.jpg')
onMouseOut=switchImage(this.id,'./Florida_Properties_01.jpg') 
/
/a

Hope this helps.

I just set up a VPS with viviotech. So far so good. Small learning

years, which translates to ~$45/mo. Eventually I'll have at least 3
clients paying $20/mo (they are non-profit, so I'm giving a bargain),
so it pays for itself.

Bryan, you can do either way. In the long run, purchasing would be
cheaper, but I didn't have the grand or so for the Standard version
and therefore opted to pay monthly for it. Plus I figured if I but CF
7 now, I'll be wanting to upgrade to 8 next year.

It think the deal was $20/mo for the base VPS account, plus $25/mo for CF 7.

The VPS option is fairly new to me also. I signed up for it a little
over a week ago. But you have full access to the CF Administrator, no
functions (e.g., createObject) are blocked, you have full email
control and tons of other stuff. I'm still learning since it is based
on Linux (CentOS distro), but so far I have four websites up (some
still say Under Construction) and have no complaints.

JRun Connector Protocol Error

2006-10-24 Thread Matt Williams
This is the error I got when trying to upgrade my production Win
2000/IIS server from CF 6 to CF 7:

JRun Connector Protocol Error


I did some googling and tried the applicable suggestions to no avail.
Here's what I tried:
*Make sure all Extension Mappings point to the correct jrun.dll file
*Check the Cache ISAPI Applications setting.
*Restart Services
*Reboot computer
*Change permissions on wsconfig directory (set everyone to full control)

The install log does show 1 NonFatal error, not sure if it is related:
ANT Script Error:
  Status: ERROR
  Additional Notes: ERROR -
configure-dlls.xmlFailed to copy D:\CFusionMX7\lib\cfperfmon_mx.dll to
C:\WINNT\system32\cfperfmon_mx.dll due to
C:\WINNT\system32\cfperfmon_mx.dll (The process cannot access the file
because it is being used by another process)

The jrun log has this message:
2006-10-24 06:41:56 jrISAPI[filter:1884]  Couldn't initialize from
remote server, JRun server(s) probably down.
2006-10-24 06:41:56 jrISAPI[filter:1884]  could not initialize proxy

This is a dedicated server at CFX Hosting.

After a couple of install attempts, I reverted back to CF 6.
Any ideas on what else to try?

Thanks,

Okay, sorry for ignoring the comments that I shouldn't be relying on
the referer. This is a system where there is some control over the
user's browser. It is online software where certain requirements can
be met. However, I tried adjusting both the security and privacy
settings but no help. Also, there isn't any firewall or other software
blockage. This is just my local machine.

So the question at hand should be how can you make a link that will go
back one page (that page being unknown) and refresh it? I'm thinking I
may have to make the calling page(s) submit a form with a hidden

Re: Apache, IE cgi.http_referer

2006-10-16 Thread Matt Williams
By unknown I simply meant that it could be one of several possible
pages within the site. So yes, all potential pages are internal and we
do have control over those.

A littel more detail... The initial page has a drop down select box.
In the on change of that select I redirect to another page with a
form. If the user is to click cancel on that form, I want to take them
back one page, but the select box should have it's original value
(originally came from db) selected and not the value the user selected
which caused the redirect. Make sense?

So it is a select box which could be wrapped in form tags and then
a hidden field passed. I was just looking for something better.
Thanks.

 By unknown, do you mean literally any arbitrary page on the internet,
 or an arbitrary page from within your site/application?

 If it's the former, there probably isn't a truly reliable solution -
 experiment with the JavaScript history() function and you might get
 closer - although I don't know how you would force a refresh on a page
 you can't control.

 If its pages within your own site, or a site you have control over, you
 may have better options, bit without a more detailed explanation of what
 you are trying to do and why, it's hard to say exactly what the best
 approach might be.

Apache, IE cgi.http_referer

2006-10-15 Thread Matt Williams
On my laptop, I can't get IE to give me output for cgi.http_referer. A
dump of CGI shows it as a variable, but with empty string. Anyone else
run into this?

Sample code: a href=#CGI.HTTP_REFERER#Cancel/a

Real issue here is to go back one page, but to force that page to
reload. So a simple history.go(-1) doesn't do the reload.

Other ideas?

 The http_referer vartiable is set and transmitted by the browser,... if
 it wants to.
 If the browser does not set it, the CF server will not get it.

How rude of the browser! Is this a setting the user can control?

Nope. Pretty straightforward here.

Matt Q. said:
The http_referer will only exist if the page load is a result of a link
click or a form submission.  If you just type the URL into the addy bar,
then it will be an empty string.

Could be part of the issue. The template that won't work is called by
a javascript redirect. However, this does work in Firefox.

Re: Just joined; looking for advice

2006-10-11 Thread Matt Williams
Thanks Dave, Judith and Jeff. Good stuff. Jeff, my motivation for
quitting is not simply I don't like my job. My original post gave 2
reasons:
-freelance work pays much more - almost twice
-leaving some aspects of my FT job such as network maintenance  help desk

I should have given the third reason I am considering going freelance:
the work is already in my lap (literally: I use a laptop at home).
About 2 years ago I started helping one guy who has 20-30 clients. He
is not a developer; he only handles client sales/relations. The deal
here is he emails me the change / needs and I just do it. No client
interaction for me. Most of these are smaller jobs, but occasionally
(most recently this week) there are bigger jobs (100+ hours).

In addition to that, I am working with one other company who is
migrating a system from spaghetti/procedural code to OO/Frameworks.
This contract is up in December, but they have mentioned they have
more coming up in 1st qtr '07 (and possibly beyond) and would like me
to be part of that.

There are already other potential clients too. As Judith mentioned, it
is usually feast or famine; I'm feeling the feast right now and think
at least for starters, I would have very little marketing to do.
Hopefully some of these will turn into, as Jeff said, steady
clients.

Along with this third reason of the work is already there, for the
past few months I've been killing myself and neglecting my family by
trying to keep the full time job and do contract work. I'm a morning
person, so I typically get up at 5am, work for a couple of hours, get
ready and go to work. Since June I cut my FT job down to 4 days a week
so I could have one day a week for side work. But lately I've had to
do some evening work and quite a bit on the weekends too, just to keep
up. When I think to myself that something has got to change, I wonder
why I would give up the higher paying side work for the lesser paying
FT job.

Sorry for the long post, just wanted you all to better understand
where I'm coming from. I would be interested if anyone has any
suggestions on time tracking/billing software. I currently just use
Excel  Word for this, but in a very rudimentary way with very little
reporting capabilities.

Again, thanks for the advice thus far.

Just joined; looking for advice

2006-10-10 Thread Matt Williams
So what kind of advice would folks give to a someone considering
quitting my regular job and becoming a full-time freelancer. My
regular job is a mix of coding, network maintanence, and other IT-type
stuff. Over the past year or so I've picked up a couple of
freelance/contractor positions. The primary reason I am considering
this is that the freelance work pays much more - almost twice. I've
calculated all the costs of things like health insurance, taxes, etc.
and believe I could come out ahead. A secondary reason would be I
could concentrate on coding/builing applications and drop the less
enjoyable parts of the job which are coding.

Ideally I would be able to have my current employer as a client and be
able to continue the coding part of this job. But that may be wishful
thinking, especially when I tell them my hourly rate.

Any advice and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Date Add

2006-10-04 Thread Matt Williams
cfset myDate = DateAdd('d',14,Now()) /
Then in your query:
#CreateODBCDateTime(myDate)#

Can also be combined to one statement:
#CreateODBCDateTime(DateAdd('d',14,Now()))#


On 10/4/06, Mark Leder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 How do I take a current date/time #now()# and add a number of days to it,
 such as 14 days into the future, then convert to #CreateODBCDateTime()# so I
 can stick in a db?

 Can't find anything on cflib, and I'm confused by the syntax of dateAdd()...

 Thanks,
 Mark

Wierd SQL Server issue

2006-09-21 Thread Matt Williams
Anyone dealt with this?
Some SQL Databases are not accessible from CF. The DSN verifies
correctly, but I can't hit any of the tables. In addition, the
Dreamweaver RDS doesn't list the tables, but does list some weird
tables such as dbo.spt_monitor and dbo.spt_values.

This is SQL Server 2000.
