DateLastModified problem

2006-09-08 Thread Matthew Blatchley
I'm trying to compare dates from a file on the Directory on MAC and the date 
that is coming up is in an odd format.  I've read through a post in the past 
and found this example:



 

The string I get is in this format: Tue Sep 05 14:10:45 CDT 2006

When I use the PaseDateTime() is converts the 2006 to 2001and shows me 
this:
{ts '2001-09-05 04:10:45'}

Any ideas?  Am I going to have to go through and re-order the presentation 
just to Parse the date properly or is there an easier way?

Thanks,

Matt

Re: Advanced Developer Average Salary

2006-08-01 Thread Matthew Blatchley
I'm currently working at an educational service center in Kansas and get 
paid little over double that.  At first I found it difficult to take such a 
huge pay cut from the mid 90k range and move to the country, but the freedom 
and respect I get at this job makes up for it.  I was originally on the 
lookout for another position, but the wife refused to move because she's not 
into the city life anymore.  There is a lot to be said about the freedom at 
the work place and not slaving away.  Used to live in Nashua, NH and commute 
into Boston every freakin day...now I just come in when I want to and drive 
through corn fields :)

Also gives me a chance to play around with new stuff without having to stay 
up to the wee hours of the morning

Re: reading large text file

2006-07-26 Thread Matthew Blatchley
Is there a way to automate that process.  I've run into the same problem 
from time to time with large inventory files.  I've noticed that the DTS 
wizard does produce VB Script with function calls for the column mapping and 
transformations.  Would I have to learn VB in order to get that process to 
be less manual using the wizard?

Re: Credit Card merchants

2006-07-18 Thread Matthew Blatchley
I used PayFlow Pro through Verisign and Card Services International both 
worked fine and had fairly good directions to follow using the CFX Tags they 
provided.

I haven't used PayFlow Pro since then, but there were a few threads back a 
while ago that covered it recently if my memory serves correct.

Thanks for the information...I too have looked into using PayPal and 
after reading your email about it, I'm glad I pushed the client into a 
different direction.

Re: ResourceBundles

I figured the file was used as storage and then the two were merging, but 
how does the resource file data get from

ok=ok
cancel=cancel

to

Go=\u0E44\u0E1B
Cancel=\u0E22\u0E01\u0E40\u0E25\u0E34\u0E01

Where is \u0E44\u0E1B coming from?

I guess this is where I get screwed up.  The examples work fine from the 
start so I don't think it's a path issue, but more me not understanding the 
format of the keys to the value.

ResourceBundles

2006-03-31 Thread Matthew Blatchley
I'm trying to create a student enrollment form in French, Spanish, and 
English.

I've been reading Paul Hastings articles and chapters in the CFMX adv manual 
on I18N and G11N but things are still not sinking in...

The example I played with was the simple login using the english and Thi 
language, but when I try to create the same resource bundle files for en_MX 
or fr_FR nothing happens because I'm not understanding how the Thi language 
ANSI chars were generated.  Do you have to translate everything in the 
resource bundles prior to displaying them?  Doesn't this mean you could 
simply type it out in spanish or french on the page, or do we use resource 
bundles for the ANSI chars that use symbols only any explination would 
be helpful as I'm having trouble putting the concepts together...  I've 
downloaded and setup the examples, but can't do too much more from there...

Google RSS problem

2006-03-16 Thread Matthew Blatchley
I'm trying to use CFHTTP to get the Google RSS feed but I keep getting this 
when I try to output it to the screen using #cfhttp.FileContent#

Forbidden:
Your client does not have permission to get URL 
/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=education&ie=UTF-8&output=rss from this server.

Does this mean that I have to subscribe before I can use it?  In the google 
page about the RSS feed it says this:
 Important: you must use a feed reader in order to subscribe to website 
feeds.

So does this mean that I can't use CF to parse the XML?  I can only use the 
RSS if I use RSS reader and subscribe to it?

Re: SEO Tools

2006-03-02 Thread Matthew Blatchley
If you take your listing page and make links to an additional detail page 
with only one description at a time, you could target a single set of 
keywords and make each paragraph more relevant to a specific phrase within 
the content.  Right now you've got it linking to a PDF, which also helps, 
but you could take it one step further for each listing and send the user to 
another detail page with a more expanded view of each property.  Then your 
detail pages would rank individually as well as your home page and listing 
page making the site bigger..

Re: SEO Tools

2006-03-02 Thread Matthew Blatchley
Che,

The IBP mentioned by ~Dave the disrupter~ also incorporates both of the 
links I sent out earlier in the downloaded version of their product. 
Although, it's not free to use, it does incorporate a lot of other useful 
tools.  HTML validator, auto submission etc.

Everything mentioned in this thread is also techniques that I use to 
make the site more relevant depending on which engine your targeting.  I 
wouldn't concentrate too much on the smaller ones, only go for the Google 
and Yahoo to start out.  The rest should follow suit if you get good 
rankings in these two.

The other thing I've noticed in the past is the length of the domain 
renewal has a direct effect if you purchase the domain for say ten years 
instead of renewing it every year, it will make a difference by about 4 or 5 
places in the listings (that might have changed though, but it did make a 
difference in my experience).

Also if you have multiple relevant sub-sites of your own that point back 
to the main governing site, it will build link weight and more relevancy. 
Placed inside the content of one of the subsites you could add 
keywords/phrases that are linked to other pages in the main site describing 
more information about a subject while packing in that keyword a few times. 
The other thing is to make the title of the page have the keyword and name 
of the file contain the keyword.  Relevant content is the key, not flashy 
intros and sites packed with images.

  But you need to also account for how new the subsites are and how long 
they have been around which goes back to what Josh had mentioned earlier. 
Seniority does take priority in my experience, but if you rank the site 
well, it will still take less time to get on the first page.  You might also 
want to make the additional sub-sites hosted in separate parts of the 
country, or hosted with two different providers, this way you'll have two 
different site from two sides of the country talking about the same relevant 
site and linked together by matching keywords and headers. Basically, create 
an infrastructure that makes the main site the governing body or authority 
on the subject your promoting, while still applying all the other SEO rules 
you've read about in the rest of this thread.  There is no need to fool the 
search engines if you building a huge infrastructure of sites, but it can 
cost a lot more $$ and take longer to build.  So I guess it would really 
depend on your products or services and how much your ROI is compared to the 
time and desire to rank higher.

Matt

I use http://www.submitexpress.com/analyzer/ to do the word count etc on the 
pages to match up with the keywords and titles.

And I use http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ to 
double check on Keyword/phrase demand to make sure the keyword I'm trying to 
rank is actually worth spending the time on.  This link you can also use in 
a custom tag like they have in some program subscriptions...I think 
wordtracker uses it.  Could be wrong though.

This seems to work fine for most of my sites.

Re: CFX PDF Problems

2006-01-05 Thread Matthew Blatchley
I have had some issues using the CFDOCUMENT tag using it to right align text 
and specific font types.  The font type wasn't too difficult to figure out, 
but the right alignment we noticed that with itext (not sure about the 
others) would treat the width of all non-alphanumeric character differently 
than numbers and letters, so I wrote a CFC that would take in the text from 
a form and insert 's around each character to right align it 
successfully.  If we had to center or left align text, everything worked 
fine.  We were using it to make business cards for printing and it worked 
quite well, but not without a headache since there wasn't anything written 
anywhere that described the funky behavior.  I haven't had the chance to use 
the cfx_pdf tag, so I couldn't tell you much on that side.

Re: Flash Forms - Why Not?

2005-12-21 Thread Matthew Blatchley
Steve,

I've used them before, but found them to be too slow in loading.  I love 
the way they look and function once they finally load, but I never could use 
them because it took too long to load.

I kept thinking I might have been building them wrong, so I tried a bunch of 
different ways, and still took like 15-20 seconds for the forms to load on 
the page.

That was enough for me to say they aren't really ready for prime time yet.

Re: How to recognize robots

2005-10-31 Thread Matthew Blatchley
So a rollover script using JS would be a wall for the search engines?

I've talked to few people that manage PPC accounts as their sole business 
(biased) and they keep telling me SEO is dying in Google for generic terms 
so there isn't a point in using SEO.  Any truth to this?

I currently use http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ 
to test out keyword demand in the PPC engines and then apply the result to 
SEO on the site targeting the words that have demand.  But I can't get the 
top listings in Google unless I use much more targeted keyword/phrases in 
titles and links etc.

Any thoughts?

Matt

Re: CFHTTP

2005-10-05 Thread Matthew Blatchley
It does have either CR or LF in the file, but it shows up a little square? 
What does that mean, is it the same thing?  I think if I put everything into 
a variable and then look for the CR or LF I might be able to get somewhere.

>Perhaps you could replace the html angle brackets with escape characters

>then sort into columns.  That would save you needing to parse the file,

That also sounds like it would work...

Thanks guys...I'll mess around with both ideas and see if I can get 
anywhere

CFHTTP

2005-10-05 Thread Matthew Blatchley
I'm trying to break down a txt file using cfhttp and running into a road 
block.  It's txt file that contains regular and HTML tags.  I keep getting 
an error when it gets to the HTML code in the file.

example:

The text file format looks like this:
12345354 | html here
I continue to not be able to get the HTML to be put in a column properly and 
get an error.

"Illegal operation in Cold Fusion Extension (CFX) You have attempted to 
refer to an invalid row/column combination of a query."

  I've tried a few different attempts and have read a few different posting, 
but most aren't doing exactly this.  What to I need to do, use 
#cfhttp.FileContent# instead and then loop through the records?

passing list to CFC

2005-09-08 Thread Matthew Blatchley
Do I need to use an Array instead of a List when passing it in an argument 
to the CFC?

I've got a CFLOOP that uses a "list" with an index...should I find another 
way using an Array?

Re: Have brain lock, need schema/query help!

2005-09-06 Thread Matthew Blatchley
The combination of those options or attributes (size, color, make, model, 
whatever) about the product all together make up a unique SKU

The way Will has the structure of the database table one could infer that 
there is a "one product to many SKU relationship" and also a  "one SKU to 
many Option relationship".  The "SKU_prodID" and "prodID" should be a "one 
to one relationship", not a "one to many relationship" otherwise you'll get 
one product representing multiple SKUs and multiple options for one product, 
when it should be "one SKU with multiple options" for each single product. 
Unless I missed something?  Which is totally possible...

Re: Have brain lock, need schema/query help!

2005-09-06 Thread Matthew Blatchley
I done something similar to your drop down menu and had to end up using the 
Evaluate functions to figure out the name of the form field.  Gave me a 
major headache as I recall.

The biggest question on my mind is why does the productID have multiple 
SKU's (1 to many) on your db schema?  Isn't the SKU for each product going 
to be unique?

Re: CF Spider/Screen Scrape

2005-09-05 Thread Matthew Blatchley
First you might want to start by having permission from the site owner of 
the page your scraping which isn't as easy as a phone call :)

I would use  and then search through the page for the specific name 
of the products your looking for and the price.  It's a lot easier to scrape 
a page that isn't dynamically generated because it probably won't change 
from one day to the next.  You'll need to use some pretty fancy Regular 
expressions to get it work for each page you scrape.  Once the data is 
collected, send out the email with link to update as Matthew described...but 
again...scraping can be something you can get into trouble with so I'd check 
into seeing if your not doing something illegal.

Re: Converting DOCs to PDF with CF

2005-09-03 Thread Matthew Blatchley
We had a heck of a time converting the HTML to PDF using the CFdocument tag, 
only encountered real problems when we were trying to right align the text 
and using bold on a title or a subheader.  Found that we had to use two 
different fonts, one font type for bold and a different font for regular. 
Didn't matter what way you assigned the bold text, we tried everything.  We 
found the solution, but only after a few days of killing ourselves over it. 
It really all depends what the HTML looks like...we had to put all 
non-alphanumeric text in it's own TD in order to Right align everything 
properly.  I suspect this was because the way iText interprets of the html. 
When we right aligned the text, it went right over the table structure 
completely ignoring the assigned width.

Re: cheap [reliable] cf hosting?

That's because your dealing in volume(5 servers) and you own your licenses 
where I needed to lease it (89.00/month)on top of a dedicated server price.

Re: cheap [reliable] cf hosting?

2005-08-24 Thread Matthew Blatchley
I was just going through a similar search today for a client.  We were on 
the look out for a dedicated CF box

CFDynamics.com $189/month with CF,MSSQL, and Email...no backup bandwidth was 
200GB of transfer
Crystaltech.com had $79.95/month with MSSQL, Email and 250BG bandwidth (NO 
CF built in)
Enterhost.com was $150/month with only 100GB transfer with MSSQL, Email (NO 
CF built in)
HiVelocity.net was 1000GB bandwidth...then SQL was 199/month on top of that. 
Called and no response at all...I crossed that one off the listdidn't 
have time wait then, certainly won't have time to wait later.
Then there was Hostmysite.com, who never seems to negoiatebut after a 
while I got them down to 189.00/month with 89.00/month on top for CFMX with 
500GB/monthly transfer if that's even good :(
CFXhosting.com was 179/month with no CF and only 40GB transfer...
None of them had exatly what we needed except for CFDyanamics...hope that 
helps a little...

Re: SPAM-LOW: RE: CFDOCUMENT and pageheight + pagewidth issues...

2005-07-31 Thread Matthew Blatchley
That's odd, it created four PDF pages instead of one, and put the text on 
the fourth page and the logo on the firstall I did was set the scale to 
100...when I use the % sign, it bombed.  The funny thing is the size of the 
PDF pages are now the correct size, but the text and image get moved all 
over the place...so strange.

Thanks for the feedback M!ke.

CFDOCUMENT and pageheight + pagewidth issues...

2005-07-30 Thread Matthew Blatchley
I'm trying to create a business card using very simple HTML and getting some 
very unsual results.  When I create the PDF, the table is the exact height 
and width, but the document is much larger?  It's like it's ignoring the 
height and width.



  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  
#orderFromStreet1# #orderFromStreet2##orderFromCity#, #orderFromState# 
#orderFromZip#Office: #orderFromPhone# &##149; Fax: &##149; Email: 
#orderFromEmail#
 
  
  

  
   



Are there any restrictions to using 2 inches by 3.5 inches?  Does the tag 
even read in item past the decimal point?  I've been using this tag and have 
found it to work for the most part so far, but everywhere I look there are 
un-answered questionsis anyone else running into problems with this.

I've done this successfully with envelope sizes, notecard sizes, and 
letterheads.  I've also seen simple html tables blow out and cause an 
additional page to be appended to the PDF until I changed the pageheight and 
pagewidth.  What's the deal?  Should I use inches or centimeters?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Matt

Re: cfdocument and page orientation

2005-07-05 Thread Matthew Blatchley
I've been playing with CFdocument lately.  What sort problems have you been 
experiencing?  It took a while to figure it out but I did get it working.



I used the pageheight and pagewidth to change the size of the document, and 
so far it seems to work ok.  Had some issues with the fonts and had to make 
sure the CF Administrator was pointing to the right directory and that the 
permission were correct.  Besides that, I haven't had any problems, yet.

Re: CRM products

2005-06-06 Thread Matthew Blatchley
Russ, if your looking for an in-expensive package with the same type of 
functionality as the more expensive salesforce, netsuite etc, take a look at 
www.bridgeleafsoftware.com and www.bridgedexchange.com

I've been developing them for over three years now on my own and you may find 
it suits your needs.  Every CRM account I come across there are key things that 
everyone wants, and then there are the custom automations that people think up. 
 That's the part that can cost the big bucks.  Integration and customizations.  
We take a base package and build on top of it to suit your needs.  For only 
$50/month per user.  Or something better if you contact me directly :)

For open source, you'd probably be better off going to www.sugarCRM.com, but I 
don't think it's in CF.

Re: SPAM-LOW: Am I a moron? (Versign)

2005-04-26 Thread Matthew Blatchley
Eric,

I have experienced similar problems with earlier versions of Verisign 
tags for CF.  They only support specific versions and I think MX might not 
be one of them.  You need to call the CF tech folks on staff there to get 
the nitty gritty info on which versions of CF their CFX_ tag supports.
