cfc vs php rule of thumb
Hello
When developing in PHP, it is common to have something like this in a class
document:
// start
include 'my_config_file.php';
class MyClass {
// properties and functions
}
// end
Where my_config_file.php is a file that has constants and other shared
variables. I am familiar with CFCs also but am not sure what would be the
right way to go on this issue. It is good to have an external file with
common variables, and sometimes people have them inside Application.cfm but
you don't always want to have them there.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue?
Thanks

more php vs cf (cfcase and constants)
Hello
Again with a PHP-related question (trying to convert some PHP code to CF).
This one has to do with CFCASE. In PHP you can define a constant using
define("constantname","constantvalue"). From there on the variable is indeed
treated as a constant (like true or false). I have a switch/case in PHP I
want converted to CF but I cannot find a way of creating a
"constant-constant" and end up having the old "This expression must have a
constant value." error. I know I can use CFIF but, well, just wanted to know
if this can be done with CFSWITCH PHP can do it! : )

whitespace is breaking my javascript
hello
thanks for all the input on different issues i have presented in this list.
this is really THE place for CF stuff.
right now i am having a really particular issue with coldfusions whitespace.
i will try and explain as much as i can:
1- i have a few CFCs (calling each other, extending each other)
2- one CFC function is a wrapper to another (a shorthand version) and their
object is returning texts for dialog boxes and javascripts
3- more or less the cf:
// return message
return this.lang_data[_block][arguments.message];
theres more CFML (especially in showMessage) but just so you get an idea.
i am outputting texts using something like:
#obj.m("special_string")# where "special_string" is
some string i use in showMessage to detect stuff (it is a multi-language app
with a lot of parametrization)
the problem:
i am getting A LOT of whitespace. whenever i use those (and other) functions
it breaks all javascript (that is also dynamically created with CF and those
functions). tried using CFSETTING but i simply cannot put that many
cfoutputs all over the place (tried also combining m and showMessage in
one). one way i "solved" it was using someplace before the javascript and then just
outputting #myvar# in the javascript. the problem is i have A LOT of CFC
invocations (a single page can have 60+ and i have a few dozen pages) and it
just would not make sense. i am looking for a way to minimize/eliminate
whitespace generated when invoking functions.
i really need this to work (will share the app as soon as i have it
finished... its actually finished but the javascript is breaking...
whitespace solved EQ app finished)
i will appreciate any help on this issue
thanks a lot

Hello Well the app is now working (was the output="false" issue after all... doh!). I am trying now to make it work under a shared hosting environment and CFINCLUDE mappings get freaked out. The app in question is a web-based html editor based on the PHP SPAW Editor found here: http://www.solmetra.com/spaw/demo/demo.php I have just almost finished a CF version and it is really neat (a few of CFCs and other nice items). But since the account is in a shared environment, CFINCLUDE breaks and I cannot post for you guys to check out. Works locally 100% though. If anyone has any idea regarding this CFINCLUDE issue it will be appreciated.

Hello I was just googling around and found this post. I think I have a situation where relative paths will not solve the problem. I have an app that cannot use relative paths for cfincludes and cannot configure a mapping in cfadmin (shared hosting environment). Am I lost? Why can't I have relative paths? Because the cfinclude template attribute is dynamically generated. I have a variable set up in the Application.cfm called request.doc_root = "/mysite/". CFM files in different subfolders cfinclude othe files in other subfolders based on the doc_root variable. Another issue is that in our shared hosting environment I cannot instantiate a CFC that is one level up from the file from where I am instantiating. Is there a workaround for these issues?

WOW! This is a really nice UDF. I wonder why MM didn't include on in MX in the first
place (given that relative paths are so important for CFINCLUDES). I am going to give
it a try.

that seems to be my problem... my host offers cf-linux and i am right now messing all
my cfcs trying to get the thing running... i am pretty near now fortunately... using
your getRelative and a few Mid + Find functions got the mapping right for cfinclude...
BUT... now i am having the equivalent problem with
CreateObject("component","myCFC")... this invocation is happening in a directory
struct similar to:
/
/cfc
/config <--- this dir requests a CFC in /cfc
i cannot find a way to map to the ../cfc directory. is there a way?

request vs application scope
Hi We are developing this web-based HTML editor: http://www.elefectoaxe.com.co/spaw/test.cfm It uses CFCs and has several configuration variables (default language, folder to place images into, etc) that are created in a couple of configuration templates. Right now we handle these configuration variables in the REQUEST scope. Would it be a better idea to handle them in the APPLICATION or some other scope? What is the criteria for scope choosing? This is a SourceForge project and once we upload it you can take a look at the code. Regards Mauricio _ Get 10MB of e-mail storage!

This HTML editor is actually a CF port from an original PHP version (yes... we pretty much translated line by line and had to work around the looseness of PHP) but I think the "final" result is pretty good.

How do your ISPs handle CF mappings?
My host denies me mappings for "security reasons". I also have no idea how a mapping could be insecure (not a security expert). My apps do need mappings and I end up with sleepless nights trying to make the darn thing work without them (CFCs, Flash Remoting, CFINCLUDES... they tend to break without them) I suppose it is because they host under Linux. - mga ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Your ad could be here.

OT: CFC-based GPL web HTML editor
Hi Just wanted to let you know we have posted on SourceForge a WYSIWYG web-based HTML Editor. It is in Beta development right now. It is quite stable and I'm sure you will find it useful (we looked all over the web for a good CF web editor and all are quite costly so we decided to port a really good PHP-based editor). It uses CFC so CFMX is required. It will work in shared server environments. Win MSIE 5.5+ required. If you want to contribute/submit bugs/whatever just post your messages in the corresponding SourceForge forums for the project.

Re:CFC-based GPL web HTML editor
>Win IE5.5 required = unusable. I agree partially 1) the editor works because it makes use of some features only available for ie 5.5+ browsers 2) it is intended for "internal use" projects so you could have just 1 pc with ie 5.5+ installed in it and use it for your cms administration or whatever. SPAW is not supposed to be some sort of Dreamweaver replacement. 3) it is an open-source GPL editor.

SPAW-CF is just the result of our internal need for a good, GPL CF editor. Translating from PHP was tricky because PHP is loosely typed (variables don't need to exist, you can convert between datatypes for the same variable, etc.) and CF is a hassle with mapppings (IMO... when you don't have your very own CF dedicated server). This version of CF-SPAW should work pretty much anywhere CFCs are enabled. Any input on SPAW-CF will be appreciated (I am no PhD on OOP nor CFCs so I bet there are parts that could be better-written) - mga ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Your ad could be here.

flash remoting and dotted directories
Hi
I am developing a flash-based site that uses CFCs to communicate with a
MySQL database under Windows (yea... I know it's a weird config). Right now
we have the site under a name-based hosting provider (I know there are other
CFMX ISPs out there... I didn't choose...).
http://siteIP/flashservices/gateway is returning a blank page (good news...
Remoting is up). However, our site is under something like
H:/username/site.dot.com/ (note the dots in my directory name).
The problem is:
Do you have any tips for mapping my CFCs in Flash? I am trying something
like:
NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://siteIP/flashservices/gateway");
this.conn = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
this.service = this.conn.getService("cfc.cfcname",this);
Suppose there is a directory named "cfc" in which all CFCs are stored ("cfc"
is inside "site.dot.com").
Any help will be appreciated

You need CFMX and a few tags enabled for SPAW-CF to run (CFFILE, CFCs, CFDIRECTORY). No need for custom mapping. Will run in shared servers. you can give it a try anytime.

Firebird is my primary browser now. :) Unfortunately IE scripting has a lot of features other browsers don't have and a cross-browser version is kind of a PITA unless you go with something like Java. >> Just a thought: If I were you I'd place html anchors at the top of your >> priority list.

Haha... I'm not pissed off or anything. Any suggestion is welcome. And any help is also welcome. If anyone wants to help out and make SPAW-CF better I will be glad.

Well that can be done. i have submitted a RFE in SourceForge for this.

Re:Wierd CFC Path Problem - Question on CFC types
Will it happen (truncation) in CFCs in other folders? i.e. test/me.cfc when using CreateObject("component","test.me")

Re:Wierd CFC Path Problem - Question on CFC types
is the calling file in a folder above the CFC? i mean, which is the most similar dir struct for your files: 1) /root/caller.cfm /root/cfc/component.cfc 2) /root/html/caller.cfm /root/cfc/component.cfc - mga [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
Re:Wierd CFC Path Problem - Question on CFC types
>"com" works fine on dedicated servers, but just doesn't
>cut it for shared servers
I know well not THIS particular issue but CF + directory mapping + CFCs + shared vs dedicated + Linux vs Windows scenarios. Making the same stuff work in different places is complicated (or it was for me when developing a CFC based WYSIWYG editor).
Sometimes it works for me when I use something like CreateObject("component","com/Depressedpress/HelloWorld")...
Good to know you found a workaround.

CFMX + Linux-shared = not stable?
Hi My current hosting provider (no names) is abandoning CFMX shared hosting under Linux for "stability reasons". They will provide support for us current CFMX customers. I consider this provider a respectable and responsible company (that is why I will not mention it) but I am concerned with this issue. I have a few questions: 1- is it true that CFMX is not as stable under Linux (RedHat here) as in other platforms? 2- did the hosting provider make the right choice, or were they just not proficient enough on CF? (as far as I knew they even had Macromedia collaboration for server fine-tuning for months) 3- I have looked at other providers (CFDynamics, CFXHosting, CrystalTech) but they seem rather limited (unless you go for the "extra-special" US$ 100/mo plan... CrystalTech does seem to have an interesting shared plan)... I don't want this post to become a "buy-my-hosting-plan" propaganda post... I just need to know whats wrong with CFMX + Linux (if there is anything wrong) and where can I put my trust as far as CFMX is concerned Any input? Mauricio P.S. Good thing we can also develop using PHP but we are now left with no Remoting, CFCs and all the other goodies... :( (I know there's AMFPHP but we've had some issues with non-english characters) [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

>It's been rock solid here. Longer uptime than our Apache :-) > >I guess the latter. You know it's really weird. I really can't explain myself why CF was too much for them to handle.

Re:Password Logic
>For best practices-sake, if the user forgets their password, you should >only be able to generate a new one and email it out I prefer not to send any password via mail (auto or user-generated. If a user forgets his/her password we do a couple of things: 1- user must type the registered email in his account (assuming you ask for an email when registering and it is unique) 2- an email with a link (which holds a random UUID) is sent to the user's email 3- the UUID and the user id is stored in the database along with date/time 4- user has 24 hours to click on the link in the email... after this the link will be invalid (the link will also work only once...) 5- when the user clicks the link, he/she gets two textfields to provide a new password (new password and confirmation) 6- after that the password is reset to the new value a little complex but we mention this to the user in the emails sent that it is for his/her best interest not to send any kind of passwords via mail. hth mauricio [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

So this means?: 1. manually stop CF 2. run Remove_ALL_connectors.bat 3. manually STOP CF again 4. run IIS_connector.bat 5. restart IIS something like that? i have ran the bats a few times to no avail. if CF is stopped they throw an error. thanks mauricio ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

>9. Sacrifice a young chicken (a cooked one is OK) > and drip the leavings into the casing interior. Spit some tequila > in to follow it while giving thanks to Jo Bu I almost had to got through step 9. This particular installation is a PITA because it is an IIS-based installation, website has its own port / web application configured in IIS. A total hassle because it has this complicated permission setting that only this very-important-only-i-know-the-password-and-wont-give-it-to-anyone guy can have access (our user restarted IIS but didnt restart the intranet site and BATs were throwing permission errors) to the procuedure. And steps 1-8 didnt cut it. I had to go to Internet Management console and add the ISAPI filters manually (wsconfig for some reason didnt work). But after all the hassle (and having my client looking at me and thinking "does he know what hes doing or is he just messing around with everything until something works?") charts started to show up in the site! *sigh* What does it have to do with anything anyway? Disconnecting and reconnecting IIS and now you can see your charts! WTF? - mga ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
