RE: How do you prevent web pages/images from being SAVED
If this is a controlled environment (like an Intranet), you might be able to create an Active X control (or VB app) to view the code and graphics with. This would allow you to do things like disable everything but the left mouse button (including keyboard). I'm sure it would be fairly easy to do in VB. Also, you could PDF the document (with security). No matter what type of security you use, someone, somewhere will be able to crack it. You just need to make sure that someone is outside of your target user group.

A few things that we do: On images, we Use Flash 5 to create a mouse over with text from our legal department, and we have also disabled printing of the Flash Movie. We do that by: If you don't want any frames in the main Timeline to be printable, you label a frame as !#p to make it nonprintable. Labeling a frame as !#p makes the entire movie nonprintable and dims the Print command in the Flash Player context menu. You can also remove the Flash Player context menu.

You could use a PhotoScripter / Photoshop / Mac solution. Info can be found at http://www.mainevent.com/photo.html (but not info on how you would integrate CF). You would create applescript code snippets and piece them together based on the user's options. The user's form submission could generate an applescript, and drop it in a watched folder on the Mac. The Mac could execute the applescript in Photoshop and write a uniquely named jpeg (the name could be in a session variable on the CF server).

RE: Check out what Gartner is recommending. Drop IIS!
We have a handful of servers that were affected by Code Red and Nimda. Nimda shut us down for over 36 hours (complete shutdown - in a panic). It came in through a shared drive before we could cut it off (the Network Admin didn't know it was shared to a third party). I hate to think how much this cost us. The Gartner report said for those companies affected by both viruses.

RE: from web media to print?
I managed a project to sync a 300 page four-color print catalog (over 100,000 copies) and a web store based on a MS SQL db. The requirements for commercial printing versus printing to a pc printer are different. For instance, if you want to generate a version for a commercial printer (like for a direct mail piece), you will need to generate using high-resolution photos (around 266 ppi vs. 72 ppi for screen). There are a few solutions for generating a print based catalog from a database. The one I chose was to use Quark (www.quark.com) and Auto Price (http://www.meadowsinfo.com/) because we had a look and feel for the print catalog that could not be produced from a more automated process. But, if you are looking for a more automated solution, you might want to look at product called LinkUp! or Xdata (there is another highly automated package, but I don't remember the name - I could find it if you wanted).

However, now i need to select just the anniversaries which will be coming up in the next week. The problem is that since the dates are stored with the original years (i.e. 11/28/1970), I can't just select the dates that are between a specific date range, because the year will throw that all out of whack. So how can i select based just on the month/day, also taking into account that in the middle of the week the month can change to the next month (November-December)? Any ideas?

RE: Questions to ask for CF developer
I think company level tests are (generally) used by managers that have a weak appreciation of the technology (and therefore no way to judge an employee). The few times I have taken a test, and got the job, I have found that the manager has little to no idea about the technology (and little idea how to manage it). But, wouldn't we all love to have a supervisor that understood the technology as much as we do? Once during a third round interview, I could tell the company was having a hard time judging my ability, so I offered them my CF code. I think it cost me the job, but hey it was when I was just starting to CF (and they wanted a Lead), and I wouldn't want to be expected to code on a level that I wasn't comfortable with. Since I'm from a Graphic Design background, I'm used to having a portfolio of work. The company I'm at now has started giving a test (not CF) to applicants when they walk in the door. We have had a few applicants walk out without even looking at the test. The management here thinks they walked out because they did not want to face the music or fail a test. In reality it was probably because the applicant was blind-sided with a test up front, and was upset about it. After I have seen the type of companies that think a test is an appropriate solution, I would be very hesitant to take a position somewhere I was given a test.

RE: Looping 600 CFHTTP requests - Performance
Zac, I am in App Dev working on an Intranet, and www.FinishLine.com is handled by E-Commerce Department (and out sourced). It costs us to do anything to our E-Commerce site. I brought up the fact that all the dead links coming from AOL will have an affiliate ID; we should be able to get a report based on that. But, no. Not enough resources to make this happen. So I suggested that I could put together a quick application to generate a report like the Director of E-Commerce wants (and e-mail it to him). He was impressed. This application will help the credibility of CF in our environment. I don't have access to the log files. I strongly agree that the log files are the best place to go, they would tell us the pages that are bad, and how many hits they are receiving for those bad products. Dick, A dead link looks like http://www.finishline.com/productDisplay.asp?catid=0deptid=0VendStyle=0315 7CIColorID=WHTAffilID=AOL499 . The links are dead because the site only displays In Stock items. Again, I had nothing to do with this, and have no way to change it. The above link is an example of a link supplied by us to AOL, linking to our site. The product pages are DB generated, dynamically. It is a timing problem, our site is always updated to In Stock levels, and AOL's site is updated at most every 24 hours. AOL has dictated that an update will take 24 hours. In actuality, it might take around ten hours. Per my suggestion, we are looking into if we can send AOL a trickle (every so often) file of our out of stock items that were in the feed they are using (in order for them to delete them). We are also looking into anticipating what links will be dead by the end of the life cycle for the AOL feed (based on inventory levels and product demand) so we can just not include those in the AOL feed. Not to be too hard, because I know I need help and understanding (I'm the only CF developer in a VB 6 environment) - all these remedies are well and good, but he wants to know how big of a problem this is before he decides what to do. I told him I could help. I've got a solution that will work in our current situation, but is there a better way?

Why are the links dead... do you delete the product page when an item goes out of stock. As I understand it, these are links from AOL to to your pages, furnished by you. Therefore you have control over whether a link is dead... you make it dead independent of what AOL does. I also assume that the product pages are dynamically-generated from a db. Sounds like a timing problem... your update cycle is different than AOL's Here's what i would do: 1) Determine, by fiat or agreement, a reasonable maximum amount of time that AOL will take to update their site after you provide a feed. This is AOL's cycle. 2) Instead of deleting product pages at your site, retain them in an out of stock condition for 2 AOL cycles (or longer, for that matter). 3) Put something in your feed so that you will know which feed is being used by AOL to link to your site 4) When you get the first hit from feed n, schedule tasks to: delete pages for feed n-1 that are out of stock generate a feed n+1 that includes all changed since feed n if a customer follows a link from AOL to an out of stock item, this means that AOl' In Stock flag is outdated, You can detect this and mark this item for the next feed. I don't think it should upset the customer if he discovers a product is out f stock... much better than a dead link, though. Now, if AOL objects to the fact that these outdated flags are causing a customer to arrive at a product page on your site only to find that there are none left, there are several things you can do. The simplest is to make available to AOL the product flags,updated on a regular basis (every 5 minutes). This could take many forms, but for a small amount of products: a list of product SKUs a list of flags for a larger number of products a simple variable contain ones and zeros (ala a bit map) for the flags. these would be in a predetermined SKU sequence and the SKU's would need to be furnished only once. Almost seems more trouble than it is worth, though. If yoy have a lot if really hot sellers, I imagine that the AOL affiliate dosn't generate much business... always a day late.No, the big sale was *yesterday*.

Looping 600 CFHTTP requests - Performance
We are supplying an affiliate with a feed of all our in stock items that are live on our e-commerce site, and there is a time lag between when we supply the file and when the affiliate updates their site. Many items are bought during this lag, and are out of stock by the time the affiliate gets the file live.

RE: Looping 600 CFHTTP requests - Performance
The feed to our affiliate includes: a URL to the product page on our site A url to an image on our site A whole lot of other info (price, sku, ...) A flag for IN STOCK The hottest items will sell out first, so items in this table change often. Our affiliate (AOL): Displays our products like http://shopping.search.aol.com/aolc/search?aps_terms=shoesaps_referrer=TBa ps_category=ALL When link to buy is followed, the product page from our site is framed by AOL They update once a day, but it can take up to 24 hours once a feed reaches them to go live on their site. Unfortunately, AOL can not update as fast as our Finishline.com site, so AOL will have dead links. We want to be able to track the number of dead links to find out if we have a major or minor problem.

Some time passes and the affiliate updates their site Now the affiliate wants to synchronize! Couldn't it be done as follows: 1) record: the time when the affiliate feed was created. 2) When an item for an SKU is sold, returned, etc. then update Last Activity Date/time for that SKU with the current time. 3) To Synchronize, just Query the db for all SKUs with an activity after the time when the affiliate feed was created. 4) Send this to the affiliate record the time This could be done multiple times or on a scheduled basis This could be automated at both ends (especially easy if both hav CF) You could probably approach up-to-the-minute synchronization.

RE: PageMaker/Quark document generated from Database?
You defiantly want Quark, and to add to the confusion, you might look at Meadows Information's offerings (www.meadowsinfo.com). I reviewed the three and decided on Meadows because they seemed like they would be more responsive to tech questions (and price was less). When I used it, they were planning on an ODBC link (they could only use text data files output from DBs). There are also a few other higher end tools. If I remember, LinkUP is AppleScript compatible, a strong plus. Can you export the data into a flat file and import it into Quark (like a one time import), or do you want to establish a data flow? Most printers cringe at the thought of Pagemaker. If you have generated PDF from CF, you might send a sample to your print shop and see if they can use the PDF generated from CF.

The shipping dept. would like that form to be printed out by the user, but they want one of two things when this happens: 1) Either only allow the maximum number of items that will print on one page, and prompt the user to fill out a second form for additional items; OR 2) Automatically have the app insert a break between the item in the last row of the table and the next table row on the next page, but ALSO make sure that the shipping address and other info is ALSO printed on each subsequent page. I favor the second method, since it is less hassle for the user, and it would be easier to just insert a break in the table than to try to guess how many characters a user might enter onto the page (virtually impossible to determine how many pages they will need). After searching the archives, I found the snippet I thought would work: TABLE STYLE="page-break-before:always". I tried this in both the body tag and in my table tag, but each time I used it I got the dreaded blue screen o' death. I then found and tried a variation: TABLE STYLE="page-break-inside:avoid.

I have to say that after coding CF by hand using Studio, UltraDev probably doubles the output I can normally achieve. Not to mention the fact that you can whip up quick sites with basic functionality in a matter of minutes using built-in server behaviors. Also, you can view a page in Live Data mode that you wrote in CFStudio and see how it will look in the browser. This is better than just browsing the file and then going back and tweaking the code -- you can tweak the code or the design in real-time and watch it change instantly. I'm sure the next version of UD will be more CF friendly, but for now it's pretty damn good. It will never replace Studio, but you can use the two together much more effectively than either one by itself. tom www.basic-ultradev.com "zac" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

RE: How do I put the little image in the address bar in IE?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/Author/dhtml/howto/ShortcutIcon.asp Create the Correct Size Icon For Internet Explorer 5, the required size of a shortcut icon is 16x16 pixels. To create the icon, use an icon editor, such as the one included in Microsoft(r) Visual Studio(r) or one of the many other icon editors available. Regardless of the program you use, make sure you set the editor to create an icon that is 16x16 pixels. Otherwise, the icon will be ignored by Internet Explorer. Associate the Icon with Your Web Page After creating the icon, you must associate it with your Web page. One way is to save the icon with the default file name of favicon.ico in the root directory of your domain-for example, www.microsoft.com/favicon.ico. Each time your Web page is added to a user's favorites, Internet Explorer automatically searches for this file and places the icon next to all the favorites and quick links originating from your site. You can also associate the icon with your Web page by saving the icon with a file name other than favicon.ico and adding a line of HTML code in the HEAD section of your Web document. The line of code includes a LINK tag that specifies the location and name of the file. You can include this LINK tag on a per-page basis.

RE: How to call an .EXE from web page
The app will only be for our Intranet, and we are standardized on Win MS IE 5+ on Win 95, 8 and a few 2K, and yes when this was initially brought up, I cringed about running an app on a users machine - I said "you don't really want to do that do you". But it is seen as a way to start migrating our current development to web based. Right now we only have VB developers, and me (I've only been working with CF and ASP under a year). I want it to be menu based, so the user could go to "Distribution Center : RF Logs" , and launch the VB app "RFLogs.exe" - Much like a standard File, Edit, ... menu works. I have used the CF_IEMenu tag, and I would like it to be like this (Maybe). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 06, 2000 12:20 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: How to call an .EXE from web page Any leads on an Applet or Active X to do this - it is "planned" to be one of the big hits of our implimentation. Yea, well don't "plan" on me or many other security conscious folks let it run if you do get it done. :) Anyway, as was said, the only way to do this on a non-intranet user's machine "automatically" is basically through an windows activex, a plugin or java. They could as well download a setup.exe to install a small client app that runs in the background. What route you go depends what it is and what platforms you want to support. --min -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body. -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
Forms-General Practices
We are in the process of standardizing coding practices for our forms. What would the drawbacks be to creating single page forms (all code in one cfm file)? -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
RE: Fusebox [CF-Talk]
I agree that we now need to turn this to "examples that work for me." I am in the process of writing a "Development Guide" for our (soon to be) Intranet, and I am very interested in what works for all these people that don't practice FuseBox (I have no experience in FB, but looks pretty good because I could just throw it out there and say do it). One aspect that I am trying to build in to the methodology is the ability to deal with applications created in DreamWeaver UltraDev (or other CF WYSIWYG editors). - A large intranet will get these types of apps. I like the idea of a sequential application tree (in FB) because it is more like traditional application development (I'm the only CF developer on a six person VB team - and I'm just learning CF). What are the advantages to not creating architecture like this (and what else could I do)?

Can't we all just get along? Everyone should write however they want to. Some of us actually find Fusebox much quicker to develop in. Others don't. That will never change. I'd personally prefer to see more discussion about different methodologies, which might help all of us. Many allude to their own methods, but concrete explanations are often missing. I've tried, and failed, to make sense of CFobjects, for example. \ These discussions occur not because there is any single best way to code, but because CF's ease of use has allowed a lot of people who are not programmers by profession (or nature :) to get into web application development, and many of us don't have the skills to create a method of our own. I personally NEED some direction to make better code and look for the gurus on these lists to help! c -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.5.8 for message encryption and authentication: USE PGP!

Found NT Auth_User -- Need a FULLNAME
I've searched the archives and experimented with several tags, but can not find how to pull a full name of the user. I have the CGI.Auth_User from the NT Authorization (the employees initials), but now I want their FULLNAME (from NT). How do I get this?

RE: Nt Authentication and CF
There is a cgi variable called Auth_User (pulled from a NT/IIS log-in). This
variable cannot be used if you have anonymous log-in enabled on your server.
I'm working on an app similar:
!--- If an NT Authintication is present, then set to a Session Var, else
redirect---
cfif isdefined("Auth_User")
!--- Auth_User is available to CF if you have anonymous
log-on turned off in NT IIS and...
Variables: Enable Session Variables and Enable Application
Variables---
!--- you can see a list of all available Variables by
Administer:Debugging:Show variables ---
cflock timeout="30" throwontimeout="No"
type="EXCLUSIVE"
cfset Session.Auth_User =
listlast(#Auth_User#,"\")
/cflock
cfelse
CFLocation url="No_Auth_User.cfm"
/cfif

Subject: Nt Authentication and CF
I have a client that is installing 200 workstation in a manufacturing
shop.
The workstations will mainly provide viewable blue prints, instead of
workers having paper cluttered blue prints laying on their desks.
My first task is to authenticate each user via the Nt username and
password
file when they login to the intranet (also for time tracking purposes).
This way as people come and go there is only one list of usernames and
passwords that has to be administered.
question?:
Is it possible to pull this information from the nt user account? Is
there
a custom tag anyone has used for this purpose?
Thank you in advance,
Richard

RE: Newbie:Printing and Page Break
K- One thing that I have done is to use that fact that browsers try not to break images wile printing. NS and IE have different break-image percentages - but a happy medium can be found. You just need to tie your content to that image. To solve the problem I created a table with one row and two columns (one column very low width and with a spacer image in it). I tested on IE 4,5 and NS 3,4 (Mac Win on 4 different printers) and it seemed to work great. I think the code went something like this: table width="600" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="750" tr td width="15"img src="/images/spacer.gif" width="16" height="750"/td td width="585" Your Content For Page 1 /td /tr /table table width="600" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="750" tr td width="15"img src="/images/spacer.gif" width="16" height="750"/td td width="585" Your Content For Page 2 /td /tr /table -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2000 8:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Newbie:Printing and Page Break I have to be missing something here but; We have a CF page that displays one right after another.
