Looking for recommendations for Knowledge Base software. Would prefer 
ColdFusion based and open source if possible. Any ideas?

I'm interested in hearing what others are doing for load testing and what 
software they use.

Thanks,

Binding trouble with OS-X

2008-03-27 Thread Mike Harman
I am experiencing something strange with binding. I confirmed it with the 
following code:

cfajaxproxy bind=cfc:test.CFAJAXProxy.CFC.ProxyTest.sayHello([EMAIL 
PROTECTED]) onError=handleError onSuccess=handleResult /

I'm running everything as stand alone in Leopard and launch CF from the command 
line so when I receive the 'Not Found' error, the path CF was searching is 
displayed in the console. The problem is that CF is not looking in the 
specified path, rather it is only looking in the document root. If I remove the 
CFC from the directory specified in the ajaxproxy tag, CF throws an error when 
I launch the page saying it is unable to find the CFC. So it is seeing the bind 
path at least on launch, but disregards it afterward.

Any help is appreciated.

Re: Which approach to take?

2008-03-22 Thread Mike Harman
I guess I'm probably the rebel here, but I just completed some modifications to 
our company's forum post interface that contains both text input and file 
attachments. 

The user enters the title in one input box and if the user wants to attach a 
file, clicks an 'attach file' link below the text area. When the link is 
clicked, a javascript function is called and places a file input box on the 
screen below the link. If clicked again, and input exists in the first file 
input, another file input box appears below the first. This allows the user to 
attach as many files as necessary. Once the post button is clicked, the title 
and post is validated and stored followed by the attachments. I use the 
ColdFusion UUID as the ID for the post so I already know the ID before the 
message is saved. 

I hope this helps,
Mike Harman

Hi, all...

I'm designing part of an app that will allow users
to input info and photos for newly constructed communities.
(Real Estate site)

I'm going to allow the users to input unlimited photos for each
community.  There will be one table holding the textual info about
each property and another table in the db holding the photos.
Therefore, the photos will need to be linked via foreign key
in the db to the property table.

That said, I'm wondering what approach to take for the input of photos.

First Approach:

1) Users input textual information and submit
2) Users then click on link to upload photos which will provide the 
community_id
   to connect the photos to the property identified in the URL variable.

Second Approach:

1) Users input all data on the same page...textual and photos.
2) For processing, textual data is input first
3) New id for the property is retrieved
4) Photos are uploaded, processed, and put into the db connected to the 
property
   via the community_id created in the insert query for the textual info.

The first approach is more trouble for the user, but easier.
The second approach is preferable if I can consistently retrieve that last id
inserted without any problem.

I know this is discussed and debated from time-to-time, but I thought I'd ask
again, now that I'm on CF 8 and MySQL 5.0.

Thoughts, anyone?

Thanks,

Rick

Re: Which approach to take?

2008-03-22 Thread Mike Harman
It's an idea I have borrowed from Ray Camden.

 I use the ColdFusion UUID as the ID
 for the post so I already know the ID before the message is saved.

I guess using the UUID would make that approach work well.  I'll have
to check into that.

Rick

Re: DB choice for small Intranet site

2008-03-16 Thread Mike Harman
The last small project I developed was a sales application that met the limits 
you mentioned (4Gb and 10 connections) . I compared MySQL (which I am a big 
fan of), and MS SQL Express. My customer was on a very tight budget and a 
commercial license (because the software is private and not released under GPL 
see: http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/commercial-license.html) for 
MySQL would add another $500 to the project. So I opted for MS SQL Express 
which is free. 

Mike Harman


 Which DB would you choose (MSSQL Express / Apache Derby) for a small 
 (4gb, with only  10 simultaneous connections) intranet CF App?
 
 I only used MS-SQL before, and I found the management studio very easy 
 to work with.  The only concern I have is the limitation of the 
 Express version might get me one day.
 
 Then I found out CF8 comes with Apache Derby, and I wonder if that's a 
 good choice.  Actually, when is Derby a good choice?? 
 
 Since there's no management studio like MSSQL for Derby (or MYSQL), 
 anyone tried RDS support in CFEclipse? Can I use that to 
 create/manage/backup the DB?  Is it reliable?
 
 Thank you!
 Henry

Re: CFDiv not binding properly?

2008-03-16 Thread Mike Harman
Is the pop-up window a cfwindow or a new browser window?



Okay, this one is not making any sense at all to me - it *has* to be a
setting issue but I can't seem to find anything to help.

I have a CFDiv tag - cfdiv id=File bind=url:showfiles.cfm?user=#userid# /

Inside the CFDiv I have a pop-up window that allows the user to edit
or add files.  This works just fine and includes the following line of
code at the end of the upload page:

script type=javascript
   window.opener.ColdFusion.navigate('showfiles.cfm?user=#form.userid#,
'File');
   window.close();
/script

In my development area, a win 2003 box with CF8 dev. everything works fine.

When I upload to staging, the initial page loads fine but when the
ColdFusion.Navigate calls and the window closes all I get is that nice
Loading animation.

I've enabled the AJAX debugging and the GET is being sent but it does
not report any data being returned.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks!
Hatton

cfdocument scope variables

2008-01-10 Thread Mike Harman
Has anyone  encountered issues when using cfdocument scoped variables 
(totalpagecount, totalsectionpagecount, currentpagenumber, 
currentsectionpagenumber) in CF 8? When trying to use them in a 'Page: 
#cfdocument.currentpagenumber# of #cfdocument.totalpagecount#' scenario while 
generating a flashpaper document they don't seem to exist.
