I regularly need to do a repeateable sequence of keystrokes and I wish I had a simple macro recorder like the one in Programmer's File Editor (PFE). It's just a simple record toggle and a hot key to replay the keystrokes. In fact, I usually copy over to PFE, do the edits using the macro recorder and paste the edits back into CF Studio.

Re: Custom tag dilemma
Custom tags will work if they are in the same directory as the file. So two files a.cfm and b.cfm in same dir and you can call cf_a in b.cfm (and vice versa if needs be). Also, you can create your own custom tags folder in the web root somewhere, and you can call it via cfmodule template=a.cfm Enjoy!

session and client variables
Anyone, I have come up with a slight issue in the past, and it is this: If you are using client variables for a secure section of a website and they have a timeout (say 10 minutes). The users closes the browser thinking that they have logged out (when they haven't) and the cookies (let's assume cookies here) get destroyed by an onunload= event. The logout script destroys the cookies when the user leaves the secure section, so we don't worry about that. Bearing in mind that an onunload event doesn't work consistently in all browsers (it's a known bug in Netscape) does anyone have a solution (barring recoding of the site to use the urltoken), for destroying the cookies in the users browser that works cross-browser (ie Netscape 4+, IE 4+ and Netscape 6)? The problem is that it is entirely possible (and sensible) that the cookie should stay on the user machine if they come back to the site so that they are logged in (assuming the ten minutes isn't up), but what if they are in an internet cafe and the ten minutes aren't up? (Let's assume we're using a clustered server here so session variables become virtually pointless... or do they?) Any replies welcome (ie sensible ones).

RE: databases for CF on Solaris?
The best database to use on Solaris (after Oracle) is Sybase, but failing that there are several different databases that work on **nix systems that are worth a look. Probably the best two to evaluate are Postgres and MySQL (both sort of free without support). However, this is more a question for a Solaris list (where you'll find infinite amounts of geeks and techie's willing to tell you what you need!!!). Make sure you know exactly what you want it for before you ask though. This is a situation where overkill is very easy, and so if you just need a simple web DB, probably best to use something like MySQL although it doesn't necessarily do everything you want! Anything more, and be careful that you are going to have enough memory/processors etc. Solaris boxes are a lot more stable and robust, but they don't come from the Teletubby land of computing like some OS's and boxes do.

RE: problem writing to a file
A couple of things... * Are you sure that the access denied is not the HTTP call on the webserver? Check the the CFHTTP call is working from the page before trying to write to the file... * Are you sure that CFFIle can do a write to that directory? Again check from a dummy page... If this is working (I assumed you checked it) then the problem will be file permissions somewhere along the line, but it looks like those are fixed. So the server side issue looks sorted. For this reason, I would expect that the problem would lie in the webserver HTTP call. Check that the file can be written and that you can access the webserver internally (ie that it allows calls from the webserver itself because it doesn't have to). Check the firewall settings and the HTTP settings. Apart from that, there isn't enough info in your post to go further (ie webserver, cf version etc).

Re: XML
Well... XML is an excellent way of structuring your content into sections. It's not an output language of any sort (for that use CSS or XSLT). It can be very useful as a data interchange language. By specifying a DTD for XML sent between two computers/systems/programs/networks/etc, you can set up excellent and simple data transferral systems. Advantages in CF apps. There are many advantages, although I wouldn't necessarily say that it's the only way of doing some things. Again, data interchange is the most common use. Unless you want to start dynamically creating XML pages with DTD's and XSLT then I would say don't go XML completely. An example of when I have used it is to send data to and from a remote database (actually at another company altogether who were providing the data in XML format). XML can also be used as a kind of text database, but it isn't necessarily the best way to do things! Easy to learn? Depending on your perspective and what you want to do. For a simple XML application, take a look at a wddx packet! Create some kind of data structure, create a WDDX packet and then output the packet to a file (or the screen but remember that you must escape the with lt; and with gt; or whatever way round it is). Simple application of XML. There are some excellent XML resources on the web. Take a look in the google directory and you'll find hundreds of links. As far as integrating CF with XML, have a look at http://www.siteobjects.com and the cf_soxml tag (I think that's what it's called now). Very useful stuff using the MS XMLDOM COM object. XML will become more important, but not necessarily for website development. I see it more as a backend type of tool for at least the next couple of years. Anyone disagree?

Outputting Mac Characters
Is there a tag or something that can parse Mac characters and make them something sensible before outputting them to the screen? I have a whole database full of articles that are all written on a Mac, and I want to output them to the screen as is (there are 3000 of them, and parsing them when entered is not an option because they could upload several hundred at a time!).

Re: nesting queries
At the risk of having seventeen other people tell you how to do it... All that this code... cfoutput query="myQuery" /cfoutput does is: cfoutput cfloop query="myQuery" /cfloop /cfoutput Try using cfloop instead. Also if you want to create a query based on another query, you have to loop over the first query, create the new query, and then output that query: cfquery name="Query1" datasource="#dsn#" SELECT * FROM myTable ORDER BY myField asc /cfquery cfoutput cfloop query="Query1" cfquery name="Query2" datasource="#dsn#" SELECT * FROM table WHERE aField = '#query1.myfield#' /cfquery cfloop query="Query2" #Query2.aField#br /cfloop /cfloop /cfoutput However, this is not efficient as there are going to be the same number of database calls as there are records returned in the first query! Try to use the database to return a much more useful result set (if you're using MS SQL Server that means a stored procedure - ask if you're not sure). If you can then output the resultset once, you only need to go to the database once and you only need to output it once (and it's a lot easier on ColdFusion too!). I hope this makes sense!

CFHTTP and creating csv recordset problems...
Not a problem I have had as yet... There is a documented feature of CFHTTP that allows you to load up a comma-delimited file into memory via CFHTTP. This is useful if (and this is the case) you can't use CFFile to load up a comma-delimited file (CFX_File has a max size of 64KB for a read) and you can't set up a csv datasource in the CF Administrator. Using CFHTTP you can load up a comma-delimited file into a recordset like this: cfhttp url="http://www.myurl.com/mytextfile.csv" method="GET" name="data" columns="title,keywords,mytext,x" /cfhttp and this then loads the cfhttp.filecontent as a query, and you can reference that query via: cfoutput cfquery name="data" b#title#/bbr#keywords#br#mytext# /cfquery /cfoutput "Hooray" you might think! This means that if someone disables the CFFile tag, you can still load up data from a comma-delimited list! Problem: The documentation says that if you don't specify the columns, CF ignores the first line of the page and uses those values as the column names. I run this with column names, and it ignores the first line anwyay and just goes to the second line. It also seems to ignore the last line. I have tried several things like adding a line break and/or carriage return at the start and end. I have tried testing on just one record... It seems to think that the first line has the wrong number of comma-delimited fields and so it won't put it into the recordset. However, I have checked the missing records, and they have the same number of fields as every other one (it's a database export - from a database I don't have any access to, so I need an export - so it should do!). If you've got this far, then you've done well. If you can think of anything else then please tell me. If you know of any problems, then let me know!

RE: Statistics on Toy R Us
Thats very interesting, because doing a view source indicates that they are using CF:-) I mean how many other scripting languages generate that much whitespace! Erm... Loads of languages generate that much whitespace! Which ones? Perl (if badly written), PHP (if badly written), ASP (if badly written), CF (if badly written), Mason (if badly written), and everything else under the sun (if it's badly written). CF, however is a bit more interesting... The point about CF is that it uses the approach of "Anything written in CF changes to whitespace when processed" as a default, instead of treating CF as a programming language and compiling etc (prepare to flame me...). That's what produces the whitespace. This can of course be turned off, and can mean faster page loading. The CFML processor is effectively only a parser (a fast one, but still a parser) so any other language that is parsed like this will produce similar output.

RE: Regular expression to parse incoming data stream?
Erm... CF on Linux - use James Clarks Expat Parser for XML. There isn't currently a simple CF interface for this though (one day...) There is a simple Perl interface, and since you're on Linux, pass the processing to something that can handle it. My best guess would be Perl. The reason is that there are numerous XML modules for Perl, and they are excellently supported by a mailing list. Otherwise, if you are not getting complex data back (ie no CDATA sections) then for the regex (bear in mind you can't really check whether it's an XML packet beforehand so it's really only a hack) you need to take everything in the and find everything up to the / with the same name. 1) Create a structure to hold the XML (can store the whole thing as a structure) 2) Then, find the first tag name (ie find a and then the next bit of text up to a "" or a " ") and then find the attributes (everything up to the next ""... 3) Find the end tag for it (/__name__) 4) everything in between is the data (which can contain XML) 5) pass the rest of the packet through the "parser" Anyway, that's the way I'd do it. Maybe I'll try and do this!

RE: case sensitivity in stored procedures
It can be done! You can bypass the case-insensitivity, although it's a bit long winded (but it works). What you need to do is use the ASCII character number to make a string case sensitive (ie convert it into ASCII characters and test against those!). there are two functions, ASCII and CHAR. Here's an example (from the Transact-SQL Help) and note that D and d have different numbers: SET TEXTSIZE 0 SET NOCOUNT ON -- Create the variables for the current position of the character string -- and for the character string. DECLARE @position int, @string char(15) -- Initialize the variables. SET @position = 1 SET @string = 'Du monde entier' WHILE @position = DATALENGTH(@string) BEGIN SELECT ASCII(SUBSTRING(@string, @position, 1)), CHAR(ASCII(SUBSTRING(@string, @position, 1))) SET @position = @position + 1 END SET NOCOUNT OFF GO Here is the result set: --- - 68 D --- - 117 u --- - 32 --- - 109 m --- - 111 o --- - 110 n --- - 100 d --- - 101 e --- - 32 --- - 101 e --- - 110 n --- - 116 t --- - 105 i --- - 101 e --- - 114 r Enjoy!

RE: Macromedia and Allaire to Merge
The strength of this merger is in database driven application development. Macromedia bought Drumbeat, which was very ASP oriented, and has now been absorbed into UltraDev. If we can end up with a product for CF/JRun, which does everything from Studio to UltraDev - that would be quite something. Of course it would need to do ASP(.net) as well for the whole market. Problem being that now everyone will think they are a CF programmer, like all people using Dreamweaver think they are HTML/DHTML programmers (when half the time they haven't got a clue!). I think this is a good merger, but lets not get carried away. The worst thing is that the developer base is certain to increase from the increased exposure that the Macromedia name brings. That means more coders, more sites, less money for those who've been in it for longer! Not thinking just about money though, also thinking about the perception from managers and things.

RE: Custom Tag for creating Forms...
Both correct, but... There is such a thing as CSS. If you think about it, the most useful thing about HTML is that some of the attributes are defaulted on the client machine. Bear this in mind, and you could easily create a form. BTW a form generator is something that takes some data and generates a form. If I'm not mistaken, creating a structure to hold some data and then generating a form from it is exactly that. The way I see it is that if you want something like this, then you have to create certain basic form types with specific defaults. The best way to do this would be to have a server side process to create the form with various defaults. Here we go into the realms of CSS which is a perfectly good client side technology. Why try and create something that isn't really going to save a huge amount of time. The only solution I can come up with, is to create a custom tag to generate the custom HTML tags we want from a limited source, and then we get back to: "Why not ignore CF for the most part and just write it in HTML". For the amount of control we want, creating a CSS and using the client side is far more sensible, especially as you can change everything you want! I hope that's clear.

What would be even better is if its generated code were delimited into sections, and it could detect if you inserted extra code, so if you changed the formatting, you wouldn't lose your custom code. David Cummins Peter Theobald wrote: So the real trick is making it extensible so you can use it to lay out a "basic default" form, but override certain things to customize it. The design I had worked out didn't assume you only had one field per row. It let you put as many fields as you liked in a row. It would add up the number of fields on each row, multiply them all for a "common" denominator, and use that as the number of columns in a table. Each table cell would use rowspan to use up the appropriate space. Everything would come out neat and lined up... ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Does Studio have Built-in Scripting?
There is such a thing as ActiveScript in Studio so that you can build little
code things to do whatever you want. It's not hugely functional but you can
pull in COM objects to do whatever you want.
I wrote some ActiveScript to put documentation into pages that didn't have
any. Click a button, fill in a few dialogue boxes to put in specific
information then outputted as a CF comment at the end of the file. This was
then read by a browser I created. A whole documentation system. Very easy
(when you know how!).
Have a look in the Help Files in Studio at "Scripting the Visual Tools
Object Model" and then have a go. It's a bit limited and the documentation
isn't wondefully clear, but is useful when you get used to it.

Subject: RE: deleting session variables
On first impression using client and session in the same app
could be viable if;
1. client requires accessing client storage while session
"stays within" the CFAS memory space.
2. if there are vars that need to persist after a session
and that are useful to have readily available for a next
session
3. assuming session is faster than client {1]
On second impression the question needs to be answered
whether once client are read if the values also reside
in the CAFS memory space - if so, for how long, and
how granular is the rentention - i.e. assuming storage is
in a db, does one read of any client's vars cause all
client's vars to persist in memory or is the clientmanagement
selective to retrieving just the particular client vars
relative to that client's current session/http request?
If every reference to a client var causes a db read or write,
then I would say that the only reason to mix client and session
is to initialize a client session with client vars, but run the
session with session vars.
I doubt that client vars are kept in memory for a defined timeout
period (or any other undocumented timeout period other than
possibly applicationtimeout) like session vars so each reference
to a client var will cause a db write or read. That has to mean
session vars, once set, are faster.
I can see an app organized so that upon logIn client vars
in storage are used to intialize the current session, then
these values are moved into a session layer for speed with
any subsequent client value assignments done only for the
purpose of preserving values that need to persist past the
end of the current session.
I would appreciate any clarification of any of this thinking.
(above is not meant to cover clustering issues and assumes
no design inhibitions due to ram constraints)
Client variables are kept in memory for the duration of the page request.
They're retrieved from the repository for every subsequent page request
(except when they're stored in cookies - there's no retrieval required then,
since the browser simply returns them to the server).
As for using Client variables for initialization of values, I'd argue that
you'd be better off retrieving values from a normalized database structure
(where they usually are anyway for most applications) to populate Session
variables.

RE: Slightly OT: CF in Europe
One thing though...there is a severe lack of GOOD CF developers in the UK. It's amazing the number of people that attempt to blag it. If I interview, I use a simple questionaire that I walk through with the potential...sometimes it really is quite embarrassing. I have to agree with this. There are lots and lots and lots of developers who try to blag it. I have come across many of them and worked for some. I have worked with developers who have come from HTML (and maybe a little Javascript), and think that doing the Allaire FastTrack to ColdFusion course (ie not the advanced course) means know ColdFusion back to front. WRONG!!! They also don't know anything about mailing lists and the community of developers which in the Unix/Linux (esp. OpenSource) world is understood and used to it's full potential. It really does amaze me sometimes how incredibly naive some people are! IMHO the most important thing is to know why you do something and what is happening in the background (something a *nix person would have a massive headstart on). An example would be the CFHTTP tag. Not understanding HTTP and it's little intricacies can catch out some normal programmers, but as CF is such an abstracted language (ie it simplifies everything) - sometimes to abstracted - some programmers can get caught out. Works well most of the time, but can be a right (insert favourite expletive here) to debug if you don't understand what's actually going on. Paul PS A potential developer questionnaire like that could well catch out a lot of people. PPS Most *nix people love to do everything from the ground up. I don't advocate this but I do think it is useful to be able to understand why things are done in certain ways. If it's already built, use that and modify it.

Well, I am enjoying reading your responses. It's very good to get some kind of feedback (I'll have a look at databaseblocks but I haven't a clue what it is!).

Let HTML handle the defaults (ie size = 40) or give preset defaults that can be changed, and the output is: table form... tr tdName/td tdinput type="text" name="name"/td /tr tr td colspan="2"input type="submit"/td /tr /form /table Simple form with a submit button by default etc... ! May even be sensible to default all the possible attributes to something and allow the defaults to be created by the user! Then if you add any more structure keys to the structure "tpform.name" (ie like tpform.name.value) it will insert this to the form as an attribute to that field.

RE: Custom Tag for creating Forms...
Good point! So if I can allow the user to specify a style sheet, then a lot more comes from it. A couple of problems I am having with it: 1) I don't know what format the user wants for the form (ie is it in a table or not) 2) I can't really say exactly what the defaults should be without a style sheet Although this one could be tackled by telling the user to specify a style for the form and then parsing the data first. This has brought a lot of questions up. The Browser generally uses a style sheet to display the data and most people can't be bothered to change the default style sheet much. Style sheets effectively say what the defaults are (specified by the developer) for the given HTML. Effectively all this kind of system for producing forms would then do is create a table with a form and a specific style sheet. Not saving much time in my view. Development has ceased on this for a while. I may come back to it later.

session and clients
I have just started working on a spectra client site, that has been written using session variables in several major places. Unfortunately this is to be a clustered site, so we need to move to client variables. The actual changing of the code is fine (ie session. to client.) but there are still some session variables out there that appear to be necessary. Can the two co-exist? I can't remember ever needing to do it? There is also one client variable that we seem to be unable to change the value of. It doesn't appear to be written at any point, and we are unable to delete it. Am I right in thinking that StructDelete() should work (because it hasn't yet), or what? Is this another problem with the sessions? Code: in application.cfm: cfa_applicationInitialize name="PL_Something" mode="#variables.mode#" setClientCookies="YES" clientManagement="YES" clientStorage="clientData" SESSIONMANAGEMENT="Yes" SESSIONTIMEOUT=#CreateTimeSpan(0,1,0,0)# cfparam name="client.pagechannel" default="" cfparam name="client.thepageID" default="" cfparam name="client.outpage" default="" cfparam name="session.editMode" default="" Anything wrong here (I didn't write it I just turned up!).

Custom Tag for creating Forms...
This may sound a little bit odd, but I am surprised that I can't find such a tool. At the moment I am in development of a custom tag that will take a CF structure, and create a form from it. Nothing new, except that I intend to give the user control of the output to as great an extent as possible. I have seen custom tags that you can put in fieldnames, and out comes a terrible form (ie no possibility of adding classes field names, or the table is formatted badly). I have also seen custom tags that use a database to hold lots of information and you can do surveys and statistics and everything like that. There isn't a "Take a structure and make a form" kind of tag. The only reason I feel this could be important is that it takes out another bit of UI from the programmer (a bit like using XML) and gives it more to the designed. In other words, you pass in a structure and you get out the form. The other reason it's important is that if you want 40 different forms all emailed to the same place (which is why I'm making it), you can create these forms on the fly and change them all at once (ie if you need to add in a field to every one of them). What do you think? Anyone done this? Do I make sense? Is it just to late in the day (in the UK) and I didn't get enough sleep last night or what? Paul PS I know you can create dynamic forms in various ways. The whole point of this is to provide a common interface (ie a CF structure) to a decent "Form Creator" type of tag. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

That's not the problem though. We are now setting up a second SQL Server 7 for use as a failover. It will replicate all of the data. My boss wants to know if it is possible for CF to use one or other of the database servers depending on what is up! So the idea is: For each query - check which server is up and choose one to use (assuming we can replicate all data) This doesn't make very much sense to me (it's not my idea, I just got asked to ask the list) as I would do it differently anyway! So situation (again) 2 SQL servers Q: can we replicate the data so they effectively are the same? 2 CF Server Q: without having to change EVERY cfquery can we make something that will use one or other to retrieve data depending on which one is up.

RE: Session Timeout Indicator
I am sure there is a way that has been talked about, but the way I would do it (off the top of my head) is to use javascript to output a message box just before (30 seconds say) the session expires (nothing back to the server) saying "Your session is about to expire. Continue?" that when clicked would open up a pop-up window that says "Thank you" and then the pop-up window closes itself. The opening of the pop-up window keeps the session open. If the message box is clicked after the 30 seconds or however long it is, then the window comes up saying "Your session expired" and anything else you want to say and you can lob the user back to the login screen.

RE: new cf version
Yes it would be useful to know a bit of Java, but I would not go as far to say beneficial. What Jeremy Allaire said in his speech to the UKCFUG last week is that we (CF programmers) will not need to know Java to use Neo (the Java based CF server as opposed to CF5 which will still be CF based). The advantage of Neo is that it compiles the CFML pages into Java Bytecode and then runs the bytecode - the pages are quicker than the C++ CF5 version which uses Just In Time Compilation (after compilation which can take a while!). As far as "flavor" (or flavour if we are using proper spelling) of Java goes, just make sure it's the Sun version of Java (http://java.sun.com) and not some M$ or other version that doesn't comply to the J2EE standard. I do not see it as important that you should know Java though. CF5 and Neo will have CF custom functions which will make everyone's life a lot easier.

RE: Summary: A CF limitation in building a spider?
cf_rant I still come back to my point (see the summary). CF is not the correct tool to build a spider. It's oriented for web applications and effectively parsing and inserting HTML/WAP/A.N.other text (although CF5 will probably change all that). For spiders, using it for anything other than a simple spider is not sensible at all. Look out the Java spiders (or better still write one!). It's really not that difficult to see how you can extend CF using Java to do this. Of course you can use cfschedule to stop crashing and infinite loops. Still, when you build an http spider, it should be very quick indeed. The process should be: 1: send out an http request for the url 2: receive information (ie error message or text) back from the server 3: parse the text to get all info needed and put into an array 4: start the process again with the next url Doing this in CF takes up time and CF's resources that it doesn't need to take up. Leave it to some other tool to handle outside the "web serving" environment. Bear in mind that CF's Regular Expressions are not the best, and as far as parsing text goes, there are much better languages to parse text in. CF should not handle too much text parsing. /cf_rant Paul -Original Message- From: Daniel Lancelot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 06 December 2000 11:07 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Summary: A CF limitation in building a spider? depends on the settings in cfadmin - you can set pages to time out after so many min/sec to prevent the server from ccrashing on infinite loops.

RE: A CF limitation in building a spider?
I have to agree completely. Using CF as a spider is really not very sensible. If I was suggesting a way to do this, I would use cfexecute with some program that can dump results to a text file which CF can then use. There is no point in using up CF's resources on something it's not really designed for. Until we get custom functions (which we all hope will be in CF 5) then we can't really do recursion very easily. This is because calling a custom tag (even though it's 'cached' by the CF server) is effectively calling a file and if it's more than one file in size, it is an absolute nightmare scenario as far as load on the file system goes. As for using it as a spider, I seriously wouldn't. My suggestion: Get a C++/Perl/Java spider from somewhere (there are lots out there) that you can set running that dumps all the data you need (maybe in a WDDX packet) to a text file.

I don't think that CF is the right tool for this task. In my eyes, this falls under the category of 'offline processing', meaning that you're not giving a user instant feedback or up to the moment data according to the user's input. Instead, you're assembling data that will be indexed and used by some seperate process that interacts directly with the user. My experience with CFHTTP has led me to use it sparingly. When it was being called frequently (as well a recursively) I found it to be a real server-hog, and occasinally it made CFServer crash. This may have been resolved with the latest releases of 4.5.1.

Here's what's going on: I'm using cfhttp to extract links from specific sites. It loops through, collecting all hyperlinks that are within the site and adds them to a list to be visited. In visiting/indexing these links, however, it is still looping through only in one CF page, hence it times out (set to about ten minutes on our server). This won't do it if I'm indexing a site of several hundred pages. Does anyone know of a better way to do the recursive call to cfhttp?

To use Lotusxsl for transformations, the classpath in the CF Administrator
needs to include full paths to these files:
xalan.jar
Lotusxsl.jar
For instance:
c:\lotusxsl\lotusxsl.jar;c:\lotusxsl\xalan.jar
As Sean Renet pointed out awhile back, the KB article has some
fatal errors.
Here are the fixes you need to apply to get it working:
1. If you copy the example XSL file from the website, the
xsl:stylesheet
tag's xmlns:xsl attribute value is broken into 2 lines, causing the xsl
processor to fail completely. Instead of doing the
transformation, it just
outputs the content of the original xsl file. The namespace
needs to be in
a continuous line, as follows:
xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
2. The printWriter class isn't being closed, so the file containing the
wddx isn't being flushed to disk. Add the following to the end
of the code:
cfset printWriter.close()
3. The resulting processed file isn't being read into a CF variable, so
add:
cffile action="read"
file="[path]wddx_test.wddx"
variable="wddx"
4. When you try to run cfwddx to transform the wddx to a structure,
you'll get:
Error Diagnostic Information
unknown exception condition
TagCFWddx::execute
There is an error in the XSL file. The "item" element is being
mapped to a
named structure. Since it's a structure within an array, it can't take a
name, causing the WDDX parser to fail. Here's the corrected XSL file:
xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

Thanks for the response Mike.
There are numerous ways to optimize your CF code, who such way is to
minimize the number of records returned in a query by using the
BLOCKFACTOR
option.
You could switch on the debugging funcitons in your CF administrator to
see
exactly how long it takes your page to execute. This information will
help
you optimize the page loading speed.
Actually, I don't have a code performance problem. (at least, not in this
bit!!)
In a nutshell - and unfortunately I can't go into detail here - part of my
CF app goes to extract data from a (number of) remote server(s). The
amount of data varies and so does the amount of time to get the data (no
matter its size). The times can get quite long.
In the most simple sense, I want the user on my site to get some feedback
that things are still happening, not spinning balls and blank screens.
Even if my site just steps thru a display which says "contacting remote
server", "logging in", "starting data retrieval"... etc etc... Then I'd
like to be able to 'stream' the data to them as it comes in, until it
stops. That's kind of the objective in a few words. One additional reason
for using PUSH is so that if the data set is then VERY large and/or slow,
the user's browser will still cope with it's single connection to my site
and NOT timeout, even after say ten minutes or more (don't ask!).
CF not supporting push... kind of sucks a bit? It's a fairly standard HTTP
feature which has been around for a long time. It has it's uses, albeit
not that many...
As a (describable!) PUSH example, for those of you with LAN/WAN/IP
knowledge: the various web-based network tool sites (that do ping,
traceroute etc so you can test IP connectivity) often use PUSH to return
the current response step, so you can see what is happening as-it-happens.
In the case of the traceroute example, a site not using push might, for
example, report an error on a non-traceroutable destination, but NOT show
you, or be able to show you, where in the trace it actually failed
(depending on the developer!). I know of one specific example site like
that (which shall remain nameless!) - suffice to say that when needed I
now web traceroute from a site which uses PUSH... ;-)

RE: Passing PWs via URL bar
Jake, I would suggest using javascript to encrypt the pw string if you HAVE to pass it through the URL string (I am assuming here that it has been inputted in a text field and it can't be passed any other way). If you are only going to store the variable and don't need to know what the string is then I suggest one-way hashing with the MD5 algorithm. If you need to know the password string, then I suggest that you find some way of not passing it into the URL. Passing it through the HTTP header as a form variable would be more secure at the very least. Moral of story: do your best never to pass passwords through the URL string. Paul PS You can ensure that the user is using Javascript by writing a Javascript redirect to itself with an added URL string of js=yes and a timestamp of some sort so that CF can stop it if the user tries to hack into the page at a later time.

RE: Passing PWs via URL bar
Okay. I use IE. It has something called "inline autocomplete" for web addresses. Lets say someone else uses my machine. They could type in "http://www." and get all the urls beginning with "www." and then put in "a" then "b" then "c" etc... and at some point they would be able to see a url with a password in it! If the URL did not contain the password, they would not be able to see it. They may (and it's only may depending on coding) be able to see the page using the posted form contents. Lets say it was passed in the form variable. At the very least, this would stop a casual user being able to accidentally see "http://www.somewhere.com/admin/login.cfm?username=myuserpassword=mypass" That is why I used the term "at the very least". Lets just say that it is the least the programmer should do.

RE: about favico fusebox (?)
IE (to try and be clever) looks for a file called favicon.ico in the same directory as the page being browsed IF the user bookmarks that page. If they don't it won't search for the file. Just as an example in IE go to http://www.google.com and bookmark it. Then refresh the page. This will then change the little icon in the address bar (ie next to "http://") to the google icon. This is the favicon.ico file for google. It's not a problem. It's just Micros**t trying to make everybodies browsing experience more complete (or some such other marketing speak).

RE: Paranoid programming...
How about storing some of the information using a one way hash (ie MD5)? This can't be unencoded (or at least, it's pointless to try). This encrypts a string the same way each time, so if you have a password, you can put the same one in, and you always get the same result. The problem is that you need to get the information from somewhere, so it has to be stored somewhere secure. This has to be protected in some way, and either PGP encryption or one way hashing are the most effective ways of doing this. Having a SPARC (ie UNIX) is very useful because you can create a file with permissions for a certain user and group. Maybe you could hold all of the information (encrypted) in there. This can sit behind the webroot and therefore isn't accessible except via the file system. Maybe you could use a berkeley database to hold the information (access via Perl or something)? Permissions are definitely the way to go on this one. Make the file and directory it is in readable only by one user, and maybe use CFX_TCPClient to ssh into machine and read the file only it can read. The problem you have is that you cannot access the database except with the username and password. Maybe you could set up a system of temporary usernames and passwords in the database that only have extremely limited access to the database. These could then be used on a rolling basis (the user would never see them). IMPORTANT BIT - At some point you HAVE to pass in a username and password to CF otherwise database access is impossible. The issue IS NOT "how do I do this without storing them", but "how do I store the information without anyone else getting access?". Two ways of doing this. Store it encrypted in an uncommon encryption format (or use PGP or something) or store it in format that can only be accessed using a specific type of access (ie database, ssh, etc) or both of course. If someone is that desparate to hack into the database, it is unlikely that they will get the usernames and passwords from trawling around the site and finding a file that they reside in (make sure you don't name the file "thepasswords.encrypted" or something silly). The most likely form of hacking is through code exploits, so as long as you are careful in your coding, you won't have a problem. Enjoy! Paul -Original Message- From: Larry W.

RE: Calling custom tags from within CFSCRIPT?
You can't call custom tags from within CFSCRIPT which I think is utterly stupid. Call to Allaire: Make a function called Tag() with this syntax: Tag(tagname, attribute list); ie For CFOBJECT TYPE="COM" ACTION="action" CLASS="program_ID" NAME="text" CONTEXT="context" SERVER="server_name" Tag(cfobject, action, program_id, text, context, server_name); And then for cfmodule (or whatever) where you may need an endtag you have Tag(cfmodule, filename); EndTag(cfmodule); Anyway, just wanted to lob that one in! It means you could create custom functions by creating custom tags and calling them! Hooray!

This isn't quite true.

Extension to custom functions...
Can anyone think of a way of calling custom tags from within functions or cfscript? I think it's possible using a variation of Michael Dinowitz custom functions. Just set up a page full of custom tags, and set up a function that you pass in various values to and it returns a value. This value is then used in a cfswitch to pull in certain cfcase statements. It's just an idea at the moment, but I think it may work. Anyone see any deliberate mistakes? The only problem I can see (possibly) is how to move from the cfscript/functions to the tag. ... at this point my mind is going a bit into overdrive ... This could be got round by creating a temporary file and sticking cf code in there. The function could then output a variable, which gets written to a file, is cfincluded into the page and then it is cold fusion code ... Maybe I'll try and write something...

RE: Extension to custom functions...
Sorry. I was having a bit of a mare there! The only thing that you would need for this to happen is a variable that if it was changed within the page could call a function at any point. This cannot happen, because all variables are set at the time of execution (unless you can think of a workaround). Effectively, all you need is to put in a load of code if something changes (maybe you could use error checking to include it with cftry).

RE: [RE: Source Control for Linux]
First of all, you need a source control SERVER. This sits wherever your files are. Then you need a source control CLIENT. This chats to the server and says: "I want this file, let me have it!" or "Please create a new version of this for me". So, you install the server on the file server and the client on your machine. There are CVS clients for Windows. I have never tried a CVS client on Windows, so I don't know how it will integrate into Studio. However, it appears that you can do most Windows Explorer type stuff from within Studio so my guess would be that (since CVS integrates with Explorer), that it would work fine. Paul PS It's just a guess, as I've never used it with Windows. -Original Message- From: Peter Theobald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 13 October 2000 14:58 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: [RE: Source Control for Linux] I don't understand that answer.

Wierd CFLOCATION error
An email is sent out with a url on it. THe url sets a cookie and then
redirects the user with a cflocation tag.
For some reason, the cflocation tag is run before the cfcookie tag is
complete thus not allowing the cookie to be set.
Any ideas?

RE: Which Platform is most scabable for CF 4.5?
Erm, I have never come across a situation where you would need to run X on linux whilst the web server is running. Maybe you need X to install some things, but after that it's strictly command line.

RE: SQL Server Decimal
Either way it doesn't work (I've tried both and it's just wierd). There isn't an error as such. The field just discard everything after the dot. Should I be using a scientific format ie 361*10^-2 or something like that?

RE: SQL Server Decimal
Actually, I change the field to a float and it's fine! Sorry to bother everyone with that one, although I do think that a data type of "decimal" should be able to hold a "decimal" number!

RE: CFOBJECT Sessions
You could put all of the properties you want into a structure and then copy
the structure into the session variable.
Have a look at CF_XMLPARSE on
http://www.siteobjects.com/index.cfm?fuseAction=showProducts for a really
good XML tag that puts a document into a structure.

Subject: CFOBJECT Sessions
I'm using a COM object to parse an XML doc:
cfobject action="CREATE" class="Microsoft.XMLDom" type="COM"
name="xmlDoc"
That works fine as long as I only have one page.
But once I've loaded the document, I want to keep it in memory
across pages. I put it in a session variable:
Session.xmlDoc = xmlDoc;
and in the next page, when I do
cfif isDefined("Session.xmlDoc") EQ "true"
I get the right answer. BUT, I can't access any of the object's
properties.
Error resolving parameter XMLDOC.SAVE
The object SAVE is not present in the scope named XMLDOC
Is there any way round this?
Grateful for any help
Nick

We've had this question before. see CF_BROWSER in the tag gallery.
