RE: CFX not allowed
You can use a command-line zip utility with CFEXECUTE. But, I would imagine that if the host doesn't want you to use CFXs they also won't want you to use CFEXECUTE. But it's something you can look into. -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 625-9191 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ -Original Message- From: Parker, Kevin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 7:54 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFX not allowed Can anyone point me in any direction on this please. The store on our web site, fortunately a CF based product, is run by another business area of the Corporation. Recently they commissioned some further work on the store. The developer forgot about some earlier discussions I have with them about the prohibition of CFX tags. As our CF space is run on hosted service, and is therefore shared, the host wants to keep things industry standard and won't allow CFX tags. They don't want one user doing anything that will destabilise the service for other users. I completely agree with this approach. This recent work was approached by the developer completely on the basis of using CFX_ZIP. Arguably this is not my problem, however, being the good Web Services Manager I am, I will do what I can to bail them out of trouble. Is anyone aware of and can point me to any other approach to using ZIP in CF applications that does not require a CFX tag.

RE: The Myth of Bugs (Was Huge Ungainly thread of Doom)
Rick Faircloth wrote: I realize that technical support is most likely a profit center for MM, but what I'm proposing is what an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) is to a patient. Upon first having a problem, a patient needs immediate attention. EMT's don't arrive on your accident scene, notice you have serious injury and ask for credit card assurance that you can pay. Their job is to treat as best they can and stabilize the situation. If further treatment is required, they take you to the hospital (Technical Support) where more expert care can be provided, and, naturally is more costly. EMTs do not provide service free of charge. They just don't get paid directly by the person in need of assistance. EMTs get paid via your tax dollars and donations. A more complete analogy would have MM charging you an annual fee (like taxes) for this EMT-like service. This is typically called a Support Contract. It seems reasonable for MM to be willing to spend some of its profit to provide *some* free support to the location where the patients are showing up. MM is providing plenty of free support. They have a website with tons of documentation (granted it needs some work, but we've already heard that it's being upgraded), they provide the resources to maintain a CF Community focal point on their servers, etc. They just don't offer the kind of free service that you're looking for. But there's likely a reason for that; to provide emergency support services for free would likely bankrupt them. For a company that charges for technical support, it makes little sense to then provide *free* technical support through a mailing list of forum on a formal basis. Why not? Is there too much money to be made that would be sacrificed? Apparently, you'd be amazed at how much money there is to be made in provided customer support. Also, there are plenty of software companies (so far as I remember reading) that would not break even, let alone turn a profit, were it not for tech support. As it is, several of us at MM provide free support here because it helps. It isn't Macromedia's policy to provide free support. I'm suggesting that maybe it should be as far as can be expected on forums/lists. Why is this an inappropriate scenario? Because, as a company, MM needs to be profitable. As a business owner, I'm sure you can understand. Providing free support, even if only in the form of having one or more full-time employees covering the forums is expensive. When I first started programming professionally, one of my additional responsibilities was to act as the public frontman for the user community (covering mailing lists, newsgroups, website forums, etc.). It soon became apparent that I couldn't handle my programming responsibilities *AND* be the frontman. There's just too much time that has to go into providing support like that. Especially for as complex a product, with as large a user base, as Cold Fusion enjoys. Anyway, hats off to MM and all the MM guys here on the list.

I apologize if this is obvious, but since you didn't really explain the particulars of the situation, I wanted to make sure that you weren't inadvertently making this harder than need be.

The first is with your SELECT query: Select New.newprice, New.dealerpartno, New.publisher, Product.publisher, Product.dealerpartno, Product.price From New, Product This query (aside from producing two dealerpartno columns) does not specify how to join the two tables. It therefore creates (if I remember the terminology correctly) a Cartesian Product of the two tables. This is, essentially, a result set of every single possible combination of the records from each table. For example, if your 2 tables had the following data: New.newPriceProduct.price = a 1 b 2 the result set would be: newPriceprice = a 1 a 2 b 1 b 2 So, since both of your tables have 20,000 records, your SELECT query is returning a result set with 20,000 x 20,000 records (400,000,000 records).

RE: Encapsulating CFFTP within an A HREF is not respected
I think you're mistaking the purpose of the CFFTP tag. CFFTP allows Cold Fusion to act as an FTP client; uploading, downloading, etc. files from a remote FTP server. It does NOT act like CFFORM, CFINPUT, etc. which spit out associated HTML equivalents. I'm assuming you want to create a link to a file on a remote FTP site. In that case, do not use CFFTP.

RE: MIME type question
I'm not sure I have the answer to this one. CSV files are just text files, so I would think that text/plain would work for you. But you're saying it doesn't. According to the CF5 docs, the browser provides the mime-type, not the server. So this may be problematic if different people have their 'puters configured differently. This might require a bit more coding on your part but might solve the problem: Why not stop using the ACCEPT parameter and just write some code that checks the extension after the file has been uploaded. This way, you can have nice error messages instead of CF generated (ugly) messages and you don't have to worry about different client configurations. -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 625-9191 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ -Original Message- From: Brian Ferrigno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 2:50 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: MIME type question Mosh, Yes, I am trying to put csv in the accept field of the cffile tag.

The settings will be quite simple, a new job seeker can specify to receive alerts for 1) Software development jobs 2) Management jobs 3) all jobs When the recruitment company has a new job requirement they will type it up, assign it to a category, and then have an option to send it out to all the prospective job seekers who have requested for alerts in that category.

RE: Forcing Word to open
Actually, there's no way (that I know of) to FORCE the downloaded file to open word. That's really a function of the browser settings. For example, with IE, you can force all word files to be saved to disk instead of opening in Word.

Subject: OT: Detecting Acrobat?
I'm sure someone has covered this before, but didn't have any
luck searching
the archives, and google has somewhat vauge results.
I need to detect if Adobe Acrobat is installed on the user's
browser (which
will always be IE).
I did find reference to a function that uses IsObject() in VBScript but
haven't been able to make it work - it throws an error trying to create an
activeX object.
Anyone have any tips for doing this? I'd prefer javascript, but will use
what I can get. Thanks.

Hi all, I was looking up some stuff on joins versus unions, and came across an opinion that used CFQUERY as an example. (I won't post the url since I don't know if it's kosher here.) However, under this person's tutorial topic called Limiting Results it used this code: CFQUERY DATASOURCE = Friends Name = Query1 Maxrows = 10 Startrow = 0 followed by the comment: Note that the starting row is set at 0. Remember that computers start numbering at 0, not 1. So the first record in the database is record number 0. --- Now, I understand offsets, et cetera, but I've never heard it used regarding cfquery (or any other sql query for that matter -- I couldn't even find another mention of startrow=0 anywhere in google or altavista for any major sql platform...). And obviously, I've never had a problem with using startrow=1 missing the first record of a query return set. Has anyone else ever used startrow=0 in *any* sql platform, is it practical/standardized, or is this guy just telling people to do things the way he thinks they should be?

I don't know that this is your specific problem, or even if it's remotely true, but I've been hearing reports of large scale email problems.

They're running CF 4.5 SP2 on a Solaris box, their mailing list runs to only around 160 people, and the PDF attachments are are 150KB. Could this just be a CFMAIL limitation problem?

RE: Why oh *WHY* is this *now* working?
So I'm not completely up on my CF Developer License info but I seem to recall hearing that after a certain amount of time, the dev server only accepts requests from a single IP. That IP is whichever IP first hits the server after a reboot. So, it sounds like you just need to reboot and make sure that the first hit you make against the server is of the form http://localhost/ As the error message said: The ColdFusion engine must be stopped and restarted to reset the permitted IP address. -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 625-9191 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ -Original Message- From: Jeff Small [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2002 11:00 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Why oh *WHY* is this *now* working? Yes, there are many other development environments out there. They all work about the same when it comes to WML. There's no problem with using CF to generate WML - I've done this personally quite a bit. It can be difficult to debug any generated WML, no matter where it came from. Usually, to determine the problem, it's helpful to see the actual generated text. One look. That's all it took. I'm digging thru the console windows, and I run across this little gem: Source HTMLHEADTITLEAccess is Restricted/TITLE/HEADBODY H3Access is Restricted to this ColdFusion Service./H3 The evaluation license for this copy of Macromedia ColdFusion has expired.

Was it because the request came from the Openwave kit instead of from within CF? I'm willing to accept this, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

RE: encryption - CF SQL Server
OK... so, just to verify what we're looking for here (again 8^): The data is submitted to CF Server in clear text, CF encrypts the data and inserts it into the DB. At some later point, an external app queries the DB, decrypts the data, and writes it to a flat file. Is that right? The solution, IMO, is to use an encryption algorithm that is available to both CF and this external app. Again, not being a practiced COM guy, I'm not going to get into COM (since I like to sound halfway intelligent when I write). But you could try finding another external app that allows encryption decryption from the command-line. CF could use CFEXECUTE to call this app to encrypt the data and the other application could call it for decryption. Or, find an algorithm that is supported via a CF_tag and has a sibling that can be called from your other app. You'd just have to make sure that both CF and the other app are using the same encryption/decryption keys. For example: Blowfish http://devex.macromedia.com/developer/gallery/info.cfm?ID=CA347367-2830-11D4 -AA9700508B94F380method=Full Rijndael or 3DES http://devex.macromedia.com/developer/gallery/info.cfm?ID=67CBD343-A003-11D5 -83F600508B94F85Amethod=Full You're on your own for finding the non-CF versions though 8^).

You want to encrypt the data BEFORE it's passed in the form... That's funky... Thing is, you need a client solution then. CF can't do much about encrypting data BEFORE a form is submitted. Neither can ASP or PHP or JSP or whatever. The data is submitted by a client unencrypted within the form. Did I screw that description up? ... No, want to encrypt it before it goes to the sql server... but then the sql server has to decrypt it later ... You can use some javascript encryption techniques, but those are moot because the algorithm is readily available. It's important to keep a cipher away from prying eyes. So to encrypt something BEFORE it's submitted is likely not possible.

For a few reasons. First, it necessitates that the placement of the last active record (in your code sample, row 3) is known ahead of time (which it isn't). Second, if there is 1 or less available records above the last known active record, your solution doesn't allow for returning to earlier records. -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 625-9191 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ -Original Message- From: Costas Piliotis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 7:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Finding next 2 items in query Uh, why not just use cfoutput query=foo startrow=3 maxrows=2 out of curiosity? -Original Message- From: Mosh Teitelbaum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 3:20 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Finding next 2 items in query You're explaining yourself just fine.

For those that are interested, this thread moved offline. I just wanted to post my follow-up for anyone that was paying attention to this thread...

I think part of the confusion stems from my having typed the response on a laptop keyboard, on a moving train, so I didn't do as good a job typing as I should have 8^). I'll go through each step using the sample data you had provided in an earlier email: -- ID* - Active - Approved -- 12 - No - Yes 23 - No - No 24 - No - Yes 29 - Yes - Yes 32 - Yes - Yes 33 - No - Yes 40 - No - No The basic steps, as per my last email, are: 1) Query DB for currently active items, sort by ID. 2) Discard the 1st record and store the ID of the 2nd. 3) Update DB to make currently active item inactive. 4) Query DB for all items greater than stored value that are approved, sort by ID. 5) a) If RecordCount = 2, grab 1st 2 values and ignore others. b) Else, query DB for all approved items, sort by ID. Grab 1st 1 or 2 depending on how many you got from the previous query. 6) Update DB to set these 2 values to active. Let me show you the code: !--- Step 1. Query DB for currently active items. Sort by ID --- !--- This should return only 2 records: 29 32 --- CFQUERY NAME=CurrentActive DATASOURCE=#application.DSN# SELECT PaidAdID FROM PaidAdverts WHERE NowShowing IS Yes ORDER by PaidAdID /CFQUERY !--- Step 2. Discard the 1st record and store the ID of the 2nd. --- !--- We only need the 2nd ID so we can use it to determine the --- !--- next 2 records to be activated. --- CFSET lastActiveID = CurrentActive.PaidAdID[2] !--- Step 3. Update DB to make currently active item inactive. --- !--- Deactivate old items to make room for the new ones. --- CFQUERY NAME=DeactivateAdverts DATASOURCE=#application.DSN# UPDATE PaidAdverts SET NowShowing = 'No' WHERE NowShowing IS Yes /CFQUERY !--- Step 4.

However, this is the least desirable alternative, as custom tags don't provide any built-in ability to return values (you can write that ability into your code, though) and they tend to negatively affect performance.

RE: CF dynamic content server load (was: Large Corporations that use ColdFusion)
You might want to consider writing out the dynamic pages as static HTML files. If the contents of the pages tend not to change on a daily basis than you may want to rethink storing the contents in a database. If the DB storage if for purposes of content management, than instead of generating the pages at each request, or even caching the queries as Dave suggested, you might just want to sump the completed webpages to static HTML files. This saves on network traffic (to/from the DB), load on the DB, load on the application server, and memory. If, however, the contents *DO* change on a regular basis, than caching the queries may not be a valid option either. In that case, you may want to rethink your approach.

I've been asked to improve a section of our external website relating to Press Releases. A similar site that I've done creates web pages that appear to the end user as if they were basically static - tho the content is almost totally derived from data stored in a database. Now, I've proposed doing the Press Releases in a similar way - all content and much of the formatting being stored in an oracle database. However, my web 'gurus' are saying that we can't possibly put dynamic content on the external site because each page could have 50,000+ hits a day and that would overload our servers. I'm guessing that their 'fear' is based on a bad past history with ColdFusion. (Gee.. I hope none of them are on this list and are easily offended g) So, when this thread came out, I looked at the VictoriaSecret site figuring it probably gets more than 50,000 hits per day... right? It seems to be VERY reponsive!

RE: Recursion
Robert: If the point of the recursion was to traverse a hierarchical structure in a database, than you might want to move that part of the code to the database. How you would accomplish this depends on the database platform that you are using. Oracle supports a CONNECT BY clause in SELECT statements that makes single-parent hierarchy traversal a snap. In SQL-Server Sybase, you could write a stored procedure that performs the recursion for you. In Access, you can probably write a macro or something. The benefit to this is that you make only a single call to the DB, you end up with a single query result set containing all of your data, and you offload data processing responsibilities to the server that knows how to best process data.
