Re: Flex is out

2004-03-29 Thread PC Wroble
FORGET flex! Go Laszlo!

I was sick of waiting for flex since the beta list was so small so I've been playing around with Laszlo (LPS) for a while. It rocks! I figured Flex would be priced out of range of us small guys and of course it is. I actually thought it would start at about $5000 per cpu which is way out of range of us small guys but it's even more than I imagined.
I had previously noted:

But, since MM gives away the Flash player and Sells The IDE, I think
anything that provides an alternative to buying the IDE is a
competitor, No?

Well, yes, if this were really an alternative IDE. Laszlo does not have an 
IDE that I see. They assume you'll use another IDE to code your Laszlo 
applications (which is fine by me). Further, from what I read on various 
mailing lists from the true Flash pros, most of *them* don't even use the 
Flash IDE for most of their development work (most of which is in 
ActionScript).

See how use Eclipse as a Laszlo IDE at: http://www.laszlosystems.com/developers/community/forums/showthread.php?s=threadid=751

One thing I haven;t been able to determine is what LZ (Hate typing
Laszlo) sells -- and how much it costs.

They sell the J2EE EAR/WAR file that contains the Laszlo engine. It's akin 
to how Macromedia (most likely) will be offering the Flex engine when it's 
done (integration with Blackstone aside, perhaps). As for price, they seem 
to be like any other vendor who sells a pricey productyou have to work 
through a sales person to negotiate cost! Macromedia does with with products 
like Breeze, for example.

Laszlo has changed their pricing/version model. For most of it's life they just had the Enterpise Edition which was out of reach of small guys. Just a few weeks ago they were selling the Professional Edition for $995 (or $999) and the Enterprise Edition for $2495 (or $2499). Last week they rebranded the Professional Edition as the Express Edition and changed the price to $1999 and you now have to call the for pricing on the Enterprise edition. They probably had a run on the Pro edition and realized they could get more for it plus they must of had wind of the Flex pricing. In version 2 of the Developer Edition it supported simultaneous connections from up to 2 remote IP addresses per hour.In version DE 2.1 that was released the other day they changed it to support simultaneous connections from up to 5 remote IP addresses per hour. Last week they also released the Non-Commercial Edition which is free for no-commercial use. That should make it a hit with non-profits  other non-commercial uses.

With the outrageous pricing of Flex and considering most of my clients are non-profits then Laszlo is for me. I'll be deleting the idea Flex from my memory now.

Weigh in on strategies for developing advanced search capabilites(FULLTEXT or NOT or BOTH)

2000-09-21 Thread PC

I am working on developing search capability for a site that is sort of an
online bookmarking tool. So among other things, users are adding links and
notes, etc. to a SQL server db via web site driven by coldfusion.

I adding the search functionality -- there are 2 needs that are somewhat
contradictory (perhaps!).

1) The more advanced matching capabilities of FULLTEXT (proximity etc.)

2) The need to search for items JUST ADDED -- ie., a bookmark that a user
may have added only minutes before.

All seems well and good implementing FULLTEXT except that if a user needs to
find somethign they just added to the db, it will not appear in the results
unless the FULLTEXT index has been updated.

Some questions:

1) How do people calculate how often a FT index can be updated w/out having
an adverse effect on performance (I know, this is hard to answer generally).

2) Is it common and are there good techniques for combing FULLTEXT and
regular SQL select queries to combine the best of both worlds... ?

HAs anyone combined the 2 successfully? IS this a common approach?

Thanks for weighing in...

Current Row in SQL as opposed to CF? [CF-Talk]

2000-09-20 Thread PC

IS there a way to do get the current row as part of a select statement in a
similar fashion as the coldfusion #queryname.currentrow# property functions
in a CFOUTPUT context?

What I need are results that look like:

Category  1   Sports
Category  2   Languages
Category  3   Reference
Category  4   Politics

from a query looking something like:

SELECT TOP 4 Category + ?currentrow? + Category_title

So what property exists, or technique for generating the ?currentrow? part
of the statement  above

Now, I cannot use the indentity field .. I don't want values like
Category 2  ...
Category 19  ...

And ... I cannot use a CFOUTPUT or CFLOOP -- I want to do it all in the SQL
statement if possible!!

Re: Current Row in SQL as opposed to CF? [CF-Talk]

2000-09-20 Thread PC

I am using SQL Server 7.

I can use CFOUTPUT I suppose. What I need to do is set the results to a
variable and write that as part of a file.

I am a little unclear on how I would even use CFOUTPUT in this fashion --
can I somehow
set the output to a variable?

CFOUTPUT query="getcategories"
"Category"  #currentrow#  #Category_Title#
/cfoutput

I need this in a variable that is part of a few variables concatenated and
written to a file using CFFILE write 

Thanks for anymore insight... :)



 Not in standard SQL. This operation would be at odds with
 the relational view of data, in which data is intrinsically
 not ordered.

 So if there is a way of doing it that would work in a single
 CFQUERY, it's going to be be DBMS-specific. If you happen
 to be using PostgreSQL you might be able to to create a
 user-defined function in 'C' to do it, but that would be
 crazy.

 But if you can't use CFOUTPUT, why does it matter what the
 results look like? What exactly are you trying to do?

Re: Current Row in SQL as opposed to CF? [CF-Talk]

2000-09-20 Thread PC


If I use CFLOOP -- do I just keep appending to the string I am creating ...

Ie.,
CFLOOP query="getcategory"
CFSET myvar = myvar  "Category "  getcategory.currentrow 
getcategory.title
/CFLOOP

...or is there a more efficient append function to use with the variable?

Thanks for the help!



 Use CFLOOP instead of CFOUTPUT combined with your CFFILE operation.  Keep
in
 mind that the currentrow variable will be determined as an incrementing
 number from 1 to recordcount, and is only indicative of the physical order
 in which the query was returned to CF based on your SQL statement.

String Appending [CF-Talk]

2000-09-20 Thread PC

I am wondering if there's a better way to build up a string in a CFLOOP than
to use a statement such as..

cfloop
cfset myvar = myvar  stringvar
/cfloop

My experience with this kind of looping append is that it is inefficient
because the variable continues to grow and must be copied in memory each
time it grows bigger per loop.

I can seem to find an append function in CF... is there one? Or is there a
better way to do it? Perhaps using listappend function or somesuch? JUst
looking for any comments if anyone understands/knows what I am dealing with
here... thx!

OT SQL 7 FULL-TEXT more than one column?

2000-09-05 Thread PC

I know you can assign  more than one column in setting up a fulltext index
on a table -- but it seems like you can't include more than one column in
the where CONTAINS statement...if this is indeed true how do you create a
query to search thru all of the columns you have included in the fulltext
indexing of a given table? An example would be highly appreciated!

performance of listlast()

2000-09-04 Thread PC

I have been using the listlast() function to get the last element in varchar
strings such as:

"\1\3\8\12"

eg., cfset mykey = listlast("\1\3\8\12", "\")

I am wondering if this is the highest performing way of grabbing the last
integer in these strings? I can't immediately think of another way -- but
this a performance critical process and I want to make sure I am using thew
highest performance function  to get the result I need.

How to prevent the browser from REPOSTING

2000-08-16 Thread PC

Is there a way to prevent the browser from reposting data to a page when the
BACK button is hit...

I have a page the automatically opens a new window using JS when it is
downloaded, but I don't want this to occur if the user leaves the page and
goes back to it. The first time the page is hit by the user is always after
submission from a form -- so what I'd like is to distinguish between when
the user has used the browser back button from when the user has submitted
the form to hit the page?

a href=://mypath/myapplicationname.exe"Get Application/a

When the link is click -- the browser just waits indefinitely and times
out-- other type of files (suffixes) all seem to come through just fine. Is
there some sort of permissions setting for types of files/suffixes ... on
the server side I should know about -- what am I not doing that I should be?

Re: Version 4.5.1 memory leak fixed?

2000-08-14 Thread PC

Thanks for all this great info! It would be very useful to hear back from
you when you have any new news on this from your experiences/patches/etc.

I am most concerned about Server at this point...

Thanks again ..


 Depends if you are talking about the Server or Studio.
 When I installed 4.5.1 Studio on Windows 98, it crashed all of the time.
 Recently I wiped out my drive and installed Win2K Professional, and Studio
 now runs like a clock.   That is probably because Win2K is very good at
 keeping memory leaks from crashing the OS.  If you are using Windows98 on
 your workstation and you crash a lot, you could do what I did and pay Bill
 Gates to get Win 2K.   It runs great and is very hard to crash.

 As for the CF 4.5.1 Server, it has given us a lot of problems running it
on
 NT 4.0 SP6.What happens is the NT performance monitor spikes up to
100%
 usage.   And our code is clean.  We are not even doing really high zoot CF
 stuff here yet.   At a CFUG conference I just went to in DC they said that
 CFHTTP can cause memory spikes like this, but we aren't even using that
tag
 on this server (it is a development server).

 I have heard other CF admins complain about the memory spike too.  Allaire
 JUST released a patch a couple of days ago, and we should have that
 installed here soon.   I will let you know how it works.

ValueList Question ...

I am a little unsure of the way this function works ... does it result in a
comma delimited string purely?

eg., if I alter a column from a query like

cfset emailto = valuelist(#member.email#)

Assuming there are say 5 email addresses in this result/email column...
could I use #emailto# in the "To:" field of a CFMAIL email as is?

Would it look like "[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc.?

OT: Confusion about URL/FORM encoding ... + vs %20

2000-08-04 Thread PC

I am trying to resolve some confusion I have about encoding spaces in
URLs --

Can somebody shed light on the difference between

%20

and

+

If one uses a search FORM it appears that the browser translates to "+" any
spaces from a text control ... but if one constructs a url with a variable
such as ...index.cfm?desc=#description#the spaces in #description# are
translated into %20's...

If I am constructing a URL programatically to speak to a cgi -- should I
encode with +'s or %20's ?

TIA!!

Hi all,

I was hoping there was an easy way to place a limit on the size of a file
that would uploaded using CFFILE.

Does one need javascript? or somesuch to look at the file on the client size
before allowing the CFFILE?

TIA

How to get part of string?

2000-08-04 Thread PC

I must be missing something obvious -- but I need a function to set a
variable to a range of characters within a string.

I know the starting and ending indices -- how can I set a variable to the
characters within that range? I don't see a function for that...

Re: URL - UN - ENCODE - does this exist as function??

2000-08-04 Thread PC



 My question is this then.  What do you need to decode it for?

Just do .. it's a little complex to explain but has to do with custom
software which is logging information that the software itself is
encoding... was hoping to find a decode function in CF ...

Re: How to limit size of upload files using CFFILE??

2000-08-04 Thread PC

Thanks -- this is what I thought would be the only way -- don't like it much
tho, because a user can attempt to send a massive file -- and it'd be nice
to make this impossible .. I'll fish around for some code tho -- I would
think Hotmail and Yahoomail and the like have some way of limiting the size
of attachments  before they're actually sent to the server...

 No, but you can upload the file to the server, check the filesize there,
 and delete if it is too large sending an error message back to the user
 that the file was rejected because it was over the max file size. I can
 send you code for this if you like.

OT: appropriate SQL 7 licensing for CF website

Hi All,

I am colocating an NT 4 server running coldfusion and SQL 7 for a web site.
I need to know which version of sql 7 I should purchase for unlimited
internet connections/not developer connections I seem to recall that
it's different than the true UNLIMITED client version which retails for
something like $30K ...  is there something cheaper than that -- what do
most people do for their web sites??

"d" will come up with say 2. I should be getting hundreds of hits for these
searches. . Is there some obvious setting that people often don't get
right -- anyone had similar problems. Everything seems so straightforward to
setup -- and I have triple-tested that my query brings back stuff. but
not the verity search of the indexed query results...

CFQUERY name="getnames" datasource="mydb"
select firstname, lastname, id from member
/query
CFINDEX ACTION="refresh" collection="myVerity" key="id"

JUST TEXT FROM HTML

OT - SQL question

2000-05-03 Thread PC

Hey ...

How do you do a query where all rows returned except in the case of
duplicates, based on a name column, in which only the first is returned.

So the query run against the following rows:

NameOrderNum
Fred21
Beth36
Fred76

Would return :
NameOrderNum
Fred 21
Beth 36

Much thanks!!

Re: Distinct Help

2000-04-28 Thread PC

Doesn't seem to be exactly -- what I want is to return all the rows from the
member table, but exclude rows which have the same UserID. I think I was
misleading in the example using "UserName" ... a better example would be
where a 'comments' column exists and a single user could have made multiple
comments ...

So a query would return:
UserID  Comment
1Hello
2Goodbye

from:

UserID  Comment
1Hello
2Goodbye
1I agree
1No way

It is the syntax for this query that I can't get right 
THX
  How can I return rows without duplicates defined only by a single
column?
 
  For example, I want to return rows that have no repeats of a certain
 column.
 
  If I use
 
  Select DISTINCT UserID from Member
 
  it works -- but I want to return more columns ...
 
  So when I go
 
  Select Distinct UserID, UserName from Member
 
  I don't get the filtering of repeat UserIDs that I need.
 
  MAke sense? Anyone know the syntax I need??

 No it doesn't make sense really. If you have more than one UserName for
each
 UserID, which I assume you do - otherwise the filtering would still be
 working - then if you want a full list of UserNames you're bound to get
 repeated UserID's.

 If you want a list of all UserID's that only have one UserName you could
say

 SELECT UserID, count(UserName) FROM Member
 GROUP BY UserID
 HAVING count(UserName) =  0

 but I'm not sure that's what you want... is it?

Mappings problem

2000-04-12 Thread PC

I want to setp a mapping in CF ADMIN but am not clear from docs just how
this works.

I have the following:

LOGICAL PATH:  /rootmap/
DIRECTORY PATH:  D:\209.344.22.151\mysite\

3 questions:

1) is this looking right?
2) how do I reference this mapping in a CFINCLUDE?
3) Can I add to the end of this mapping in the CFINCLUDE

is it something like?

CFINCLUDE template="rootmap/blocks/dsp_myblock.cfm"

  This is helpful... but the one thing that is challenging is that I am
not
  handling a form but instead a name value pair string like
  "x=1y=2" etc ...
  so I have to pull the pairs out and then also dynamically create and
fill
  out  CFHTTPPARAM tags ...I guess not the simplest thing...:)

   the keys are produced by the input names, and the values are
  user supplied
   data.
  
   Why not something like:
  
   cfset namelist= ""
   cfset valuelist=""
   cfscript
   ListAppend(namelist,"formfieldname1"
   ListAppend(valuelist,#form.formfieldname1"
   ListAppend(namelist,"formfieldname2"
   ListAppend(valuelist,#form.formfieldname2
   ...
   ListAppend(namelist,"formfieldnameN"
   ListAppend(valuelist,#form.formfieldnameN
   /cfscript
  
  
   Of course, you might want to get tricky and make it dynamic.  I
suspect
  you
   can loop over the form scope and dynamically get all the names, etc.
  
   Hope this is what you want.
