Re: OT: General Question...

2007-05-31 Thread Paul Glover
Oddly enough I just read a good article about PNG yesterday:

http://www.digital-web.com/articles/web_standards_creativity_png/

Includes = IE6 workarounds and some ideas for creative use of the transparency.

IE7 does just fine with alpha channel transparency in PNG. IIRC, IE6
handles single color transparency in PNG-8 images without trouble, but
with alpha channel transparency it ends up displaying a matte of
whatever color 0 was set to.

One gotcha mentioned in the comments to that article is that Firefox
honors the gamma correction value stored in a PNG. This can cause
color matching issues.

Cheers,
Paul.

Re: Moving from CF5 on Windows to CFMX on Linux

 Most of our data is in MySQL.  But another issue we face is that a couple

 Linux.

It's been a while since I last checked (late in 2005) but the Linux
version of CFMX 7 didn't have an Access DB driver at the time. You'd be
well advised to check into that.

We had good luck with the MySQL Migration utility, but the Access DB
involved was not very complex or large.

Re: Image Resize Code

2007-05-04 Thread Paul Glover
Hi,

Not a component, but I've successfully used the open-source
Imagemagick suite (http://www.imagemagick.org/) called through
CFEXECUTE to resize, reorient (assuming the source image has valid
EXIF orientation data) and overlay a SOLD graphic on top of an
uploaded image.

If you're in a position to install it on the server, it would be worth
checking out, and is available in Windows and Linux/Unix versions.

HTH,
Paul.

 I'm in need of an image resize component. Basically, it should take any
 uploaded image and be able to create resized versions in:

 400x300, 180x135  67x50

 preferably without losing image quality.

 I know of the Alagad suite which can handle my needs but before I buy
 one, I'd like to see if there are any open source components available.

 Any help would be appreciated.

 Rey

Re: MySQL 4.1 and CFQUERYPARAM

2007-03-13 Thread Paul Glover

 Is this indeed true that MySQL doesn't seem to like the cfqueryparam

What driver are you using for the connection to the MySQL database? I just
had a similar sounding problem related to that:

MySQL (both 4.0 and 5.0 series) is fine with CFQUERYPARAM, but I did run
into an odd INSERT problem recently. I coded and tested a small application,
which used CFQUERYPARAM, successfully on my workstation, but when I sent the
work-so-far to the person who will eventually deploy the finished version,
the INSERT query threw an error on his system, with the message unknown
types value.

It took a while to figure out, but the killer difference was the database
driver. He was apparently using the CFMX7 built-in driver, which seemed to
be OK when configured, but failed on the insert statement, whereas I had the
MySQL Connector/J installed and was using that for the database connection.
He installed and configured that on his system and the problem went away.

It did continue to throw the same error, in the same place, with that one
CFQUERYPARAM removed, but I never did try it with *all* of them removed from
the query.

http://wantonline.com/blog/index.cfm/2006/3/2/MySQL-5-and-CFMX-7 has a
link to the Connector/J and some info on how to set it up if you need to do
that.

Re: Problem with chr() and Linux?

2006-12-05 Thread Paul Glover

 Hi guys,

 i have the following simple code:

 
 cfsavecontent variable=sTmpMailContent
 À Á á ý ò ë Ç
 /cfsavecontent

 cfscript
 sTmpMailContent = Replace(sTmpMailContent,chr(192),'Agrave;','all');
 sTmpMailContent = Replace(sTmpMailContent,chr(193),'Aacute;','all');
 /cfscript

 cfoutput#sTmpMailContent#/cfoutput

 

 It works fine on Windows but can´t find the characters on Linux.

 What´s the problem?

The server's most likely storing the accented characters as something
other than chr(192), chr(193), etc., so CF can't match them correctly.

I encountered a similar problem with one of our Spanish language
sites. It turned out that the accented characters were being totally
stripped out or encoded wrongly during file transfer to the (SLES 9.1)
server (using Dreamweaver's SFTP feature).

We ran into several other odd issues with this type of character,
depending on how we set the doctype and character encoding, and
eventually just used ...; encoding. Our solution probably isn't what
you need, but this may give you an idea where to look.
