MM Exchange lack of proper navigation or ease of use
OK, so MM is THE inventor of Flash right? and MM has a ton of highly skilled developers on staff too right? So how come the CF Exchange Frustrates me no end? Sorry for the frustration comin out here but I never got an answer back from my direct post on the MM site and I know MM people read this list! More importantly, the Allaire tag gallery was a JOY to use, and MM I feel has an obligation to respect it's CF roots even in THIS way... I HATE having to re-search on something every time I try to go BACK after viewing a tag. I HATE having to stay in one window when I want to preview a tag I think MAY be what I want but only has like five words in the description that are cut off to force it into the little tiny area set for the description. Why can't the grid be better designed for user friendliness, like having a whole two sentence description go from left to right across the screen so I can make a better decision before clicking? Why can't I click on a tag I want to view and have it open in a new window, or a floating window? For all that I LOVE about CF, and Flash, and MM, the exchanges TEAR ME UP. COME ON MM - Get into the GUI mode here PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Web based CF Mail interface
What's the no relaying rule? What exactly are you trying to accomplish, besides not creating an open relay? Whether or not an SMTP relay is open is completely in the hands of the email server configuration. Permitting relaying only from localhost and/or machines on the local network would be one way of doing it. GOAL - Disallow mail relaying from outside the network. Want to be sure all spam lists recognize my mailing system as a non-relay system. My mail server allows the option No relaying however that means that all present clients using their own mail software (outlook, Eudora, Netscape) from their own machines across the US can not send email. So I did a bunch of research and web based mail on a local network computer made sense from my understanding. If I use the right level of logon security, then I would think that's what I need. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Web based CF Mail interface
A webmail interface is a poor alternative for most people accustomed to using a standard email client. If you really wanted to go that route, I'd suggest investigating a good open source webmail client, such as SquirrelMail, written in PHP. This would be more than just a form for sending messages; it would be a complete system for sending, reading, replying to and managing email. Thanks Jim. Webmail Pro (the web interface I'm going with here) is a feature rich CF interface, allowing attachments, embedded HTML , folders, address book, pretty much the works - it's the only reason I'm willing to go this route, however I am considering allowing SMTP Auth for those clients who wish to remain with their own mail software as an option. Part of my challenge was the fact that many of my clients ISPs do not allow them to send email when the FROM address is the client's domain (hosted on my server) for the same reason - it's relaying. They prefer to have the From be [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] for example. Some allow it and some don't. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.

Unfortuneatly, a standard HTML textarea doesn't render HTML codes, so you really can't highlite words - the textarea would show the b or style or font tags, etc.. You'll need to use an HTML editor object - I use SoEditor Lite (http://www.siteobjects.com/pages/order.cfm). It's free and very straightforward to use.

Re: OT: Netscape 7.1
Yeah NS 7.1 is pretty good, however I just discovered a quirk last night regarding CSS. I've got a major CSS file that sets padding, and a host of other elements in tables. When I generated the page using the !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Final//EN My main navigation table in NS 7.1 had a gap in it, not in IE though. I decided to do a what the heck and used !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN and there was no gap! Not understanding this if I want to ensure standards compliance, I'll need to figure out which CSS, XHTML or DOM element NS 7.1 doesn't support, or if I need to reference a local URI or something. (I'm Just now learning the finer points of advanced CSS and DOM control). So for me, it's cross-browser testing as usual! The real question though is, now that AOL signed another multi-year agreement to use the IE engine in AOL ACK cough - sputter and laid off more NS staff, how long will it be before NS goes completely open source? Ultimately I'm an NS FANatic since NS 0.9 beta and an anti-corporate kind of a guy, however I have no desire (YET) to explore Linux, Opera, or any of the other dozen anti-Bill solutions for Intel based PCs.

Re: OT: Netscape 7.1
Well, I did validate html and it's all clear. Why not XHTML? Cause I'm just now teaching myself enough about CSS to become proficient in it. Haven't even begun to explore XHTML. I did find out that my !Document... reference was incorrect so I'm going from there... Are there any good CSS lists? What is so strange about that? If you are using elements that are in HTML 4 but not in 3.2, they will be ignored in 3.2 but rendered in 4. That is intended behaviour. Did you validate your HTML in both cases? Why not write XHTML? The real question though is, now that AOL signed another multi-year agreement to use the IE engine in AOL ACK cough - sputter and laid off more NS staff, how long will it be before NS goes completely open source? Never. Netscape is just as dead as standalone versions of IE. If you want a browser that continues to evolve, look at Firebird or Opera. If you want a communications suite that continues to evolve, look at Mozilla.

Tech support sent me an email back saying all I needed to do was download the XML tool from their site (ec.ups.com) and use it as I needed. I'll be working on creating a CF process to extract the XML data sometime in the next couple weeks. Are you saying that I'd be in violation of some UPS licensing rule in this? If so, must have been a decent tech support guy that emailed me and didn't mention that. However if they have a way of tracking that stuff down, and I have to go through this insanity all over again, I'd rather hold off and get clarification! As a stop-gap measure, I created my own little custom tag (well, it's really just a bunch of queries) that I connect to the client's databases where I put UPS Zone and Rate tables right into their databases using the most current rates. It's not the greatest solution cause when rates change I'll need to post the new rates, which were only available in PDF format and meant I had to copy out the rates from the rate tables one at a time, turn them into CSVs, strip out $ signs (which appear only on the first row of each table!) then import them. Also, every Origination Zip requires it's own Zone tables!

UPS, XML and CF5
I need to implement the UPS shipping charge calculation method for an ecommerce site with XML (til now I've used the old UPSPrice system)... The difficulty is twofold First, I've never implemented XML Second, I've only got CF 5 server (the only tag I found in the online gallery is a CFMX implementation) Has anyone implemented this?

Re: Usability
just my 2 cents: One of the most challenging issues is balancing dev to market time with usability that truly meets the needs of the target audience. Idiot-proofing comes to mind as vital, yet to the extent that it can be done in deliverable time-lines. Stripped out admin is something I ALWAYS go for. Sure, it's cool to have a Java WYSIWYG admin interface, but is it NECESSARY? Rarely if ever. Sure having the Admin mirror the look of the site may give a warm-fuzzy to the site owner, usually at a dev time cost unjustifiable. Help docs and admin systems are often filled with a plethora of developer terminology. Too often it's assumed the user should know x or y. To the point where that concern doesn't even cross the developer's mind. Why give a site owner an OOP based admin system that inevitably requires training them on OOP vocabulary, logic and reasoning, when you can give them a plain HTML form with checkboxes, radio buttons and drop-down menus? I've yet to see justification for that when the end-client is main-stream business owners with no desire need to learn more than basic click here mentality. Of course, if the client hires us to provide a truly scalable, robust solution that is flexible to the nth degree, that is when OOP admin may make sense. Anything else, no way. From my limited experience, this all arises out of a myopic understanding of best practices from the developer standpoint - ego and analytic thinking disallow the developer from stepping fully enough into the shoes of the user. Again, just my limited experience and soapbox opinion... At 01:05 PM 7/10/03, you wrote: This is not a new question, however, IMHO, it won't hurt to talk about it again. In my view, some assumptions are made by developers when they think of an application's usability, for instance, for data validation, when a developer's help doc says something like You need to enter an integer for this entry/field, the assumption is that the user knows what an integer is (any one who went to primary school knows what an integer is). Now, one may argue that You need to enter some number for this entry/field may sound easier to average user's ears. I would beg to disagree here. Some number could be 728, or it could be 728.25 while the later would fail because the data type is set to INT. Secondly, I think presentation and usability are closely tied together, and depending on the nature of the application, presentation may need to be highly polished or it need not to. For instance, a fancy car web site, presentation is certainly very important while a data admin application/utility for just two or three users does not need fancy presentation at all, e.g. http://68.32.61.40/datadata/DataMan.cfm What's your thought(s)?

WAY OT - Setting Mail Server to block relaying
If anyone can point me in a direction or to a mailing list on topic, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm trying to breath life into my web work again, and this week discoverd that my little mail server IP (I'm running Post.office) was added to a SpamWatch list (ORDB.org) and I immediately got a call from a client that their email was rejected from a foriegn host because that host uses the ORDB service. After two hours of trying to understand email relaying, I had no choice at the moment to stop ALL relaying to get off that server. This however is completely unrealistic from how I understand relaying to work for clients... Let's say I've got a client in California, who has a return address of one of my local accounts, but hey, they're not sending email from inside my network, so I originally said only allow relaying for mail with local domain names in the FROM field... With spammers spoofing good FROM fields these days, ORDB says - no go so then I think my only choice is to allow specific IP's... but how am I supposed to know what IP a client is using if they're on a dial up account, say through AOL or PacBell, or some little host in Iowa that forces dynamic changing IPs with each log-on? Their IP changes. Surely I can't let ALL AOL IPs through or ALL PacBell IPs through... there's got to be spammers on one or both of those right? So how do I deal with this? What is the correct configuration? Just as a side note - last year, before I even understood about relaying at ALL, I had allowed ALL mail through, and of course, my server flooded one day to the point of shutdown because some spammer found my server as an open invitation! SO I truly need and want to do what's right here... hey - I already get over 500 spam emails a day filtering through my local workstation ya know?

Thanks for all the replies! As I understand it there's two alternatives - either SMTP-Auth, or the client's SMTP settings set to their ISP.

Dave, I do appreciate your desire to understand, however this email, as in the last one, has come across as judgementally attacking with a foundation based in a very limited undedstanding. Intended or not, that's just how it comes across. Poor business management how? Because an individual consultant has all the hats to wear and has no justification, especially in this economy, to charge a client enough to cover all the hours that aren't otherwise billable hours? As an individual who can only get so much work done in one day, and who can only generate a certain maximum income based on that reality, is it poor business management to seriously consider a FREE solution for upgrading (if it truly does provide the benefits that I'd need), rather than expending valuable business capital on what would ostensibly be billed as offering new features and benefits that none of my clients presently require? In fact, that's extremely wise business management. So what is it that looks like poor management? Speak freely - I've got eighteen years of business management now and while profits haven't always been exponentially increased, I've NEVER managed a company that didn't make at least some profit every single year... ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

CFMX,BD... the question on many minds...
WOW... I decided to actually go out to the park today after working 185 or 190 hours over the past two weeks, and the CFMX/BD thread went deep while I was gone!!! OK - so after all that I've read, I still sit here with a fifty fifty issue, EXCEPT - Did I read correctly? BD's CFQUERY does NOT natively allow escaping single-quotes? THAT alone would force me to find a way to come up with the money for MX... I put five years into developing my own proprietary site deployment and content management system, evolved into CF5. From the BD compatability chart, all looked excellent for me to migrate until I read that about single quotes... I would hate to think of the hours it would take just to pour over every one of my generator's code looking for where this might crash any one of the over fifty components I've got in it. Just to pluck my own feathers, I'm truly grateful that though I came to CF with NO programming knowledge or experience, the fact that I was the Project manager with Mike Dinowitz and Vito Foraci being the coders on some huge sites got me thinking and processing web dev LIKE a real programmer... and it wasnt til I bailed from Computer Associates (11 months after Mike KNEW intuitively to move on) that I actually started doing my own coding So of course Mike and Vito lived by CF even back then, and it was only natural that I started with CF... And from the beginning, I implemented Clean Code practices, proper nesting practices, and splitting up my work to where my generator does make extensive use of seperation - one page has a web form, another has the queries, and in many cases a third has the output... Every site and every component I implement uses CFINCLUDE for headers and footers, AND navigation... and application.cfm was a Godsend to me!!! So why all the diatribes? The bottom line is, I'm just one guy... At peak I've been able to work on upwards of five, six or even seven sites at a time because of my training ground AND because of CF's far superiority at the learning curve - had I EVER needed to learn ASP or Java, I'd have bailed years ago... but with regard to something that I consider VITAL, like escaping single quotes, like I said, I'm already putting in 12 to 18 hours a day.. I'd just never have the time to go backwards over my work. At 10:29 PM 6/14/03 -0400, you wrote: Sean, I wasn't denying that there was more than just those tags I'd listed. In the next paragraph I said: There are a handful of functions (authentication, locale-specific, and a couple others) as well as just a few other issues that, again, we're working on for 3.1. And support for more CFMX features is coming in 4. For more on compatibility, see ... The few items you listed as continuing issues were among those I was referring to above. I know you're just trying to ensure that each side is represented completely. I was relying on the document to explain the issues rather than draw it out here. My focus mostly has been to communicate the issues that may not be as obviously answered in the docs (or perhaps just not sought as likely by most people) such as getting folks to appreciate the architectural and other differences. And I wasn't trying to hide what isn't in the free edition (which are a handful of connectivity tags). It just didn't seem relevant to the discussion. And even Ben has often pointed out how 80% of people use only 20% of tags, or something to that effect. Indeed, Allaire's CF Express had limitations, too. But we allow way more than it did, including: CFCACHE, CFCONTENT, CFDIRECTORY, CFERROR, CFFILE, CFFORM/CFINPUT, and CFHEADER to name just a few. Heck, Express didn't even allow CFMAIL. (For those interested in more about what CF Express didn't allow, see http://www.macromedia.com/v1/documents/cf4/acrobatdocs/40langrefe.pdf.) So really, I think most people would find the free Server edition to be more than adequate for most CFML apps. But, again, it's clearly not our raison d'etre. It's just a solution to help preserve the vitality of CFML for those who can't afford $1300 for CF 5 or MX, or $549 for our Server JX product (which besides adding those tags you mentioned also allows running JSPs alongside CFML templates and lots of other MX-like J2EE-based features.) /charlie -Original Message- From: Sean A Corfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 14, 2003 9:46 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: ColdFusion 5 Trial On Saturday, Jun 14, 2003, at 08:09 US/Pacific, Charlie Arehart wrote: Right, BlueDragon currently lacks support for Verity, Crystal Reports, CFASSOCIATE, CFAUTHENTICATE, CFIMPERSONATE, CFAPPLET, and CFGRID tags.

Re: CF Compatability
The Lexus-Toyota debate... More than a couple on the list placed the concept of a few bucks being the difference between MX and BD free version... First, I may be working more hours than I ever did, however most of this is unbillable hours these days - I'm forcing myself to learn Flash - not just intros that I've been doing for a year... REAL Flash - ActionScript, connecting to CF... because in the past year I watched my work opportunities dry up more than ever, and my company folded, though I am still in the game, after over 8 years of web development... so I get to reinvent myself to move forward. So for me, SURE some of the time I still charge $100 or $150 an hour... that's the exception for me now not the rule anymore... Now, it's hey- I've got to come up with food money again... oh wow - out of the ten proposals I sent out THREE months ago, ONE came back and they want to know if I'll do the work on condition that they pay me in 18 monthly installments! Holy Canoli ! What do I say - sorry - I am saving up to upgrade to MX, so either you pay me in three payments, ALL before you go live? Sorry - too many weeks and months of eating New York City vendor hot dogs as my source of nourishment to play that game these days. Besides - I don't know to presume where you live Dave, but here in the big apple, we pay premium bucks for the smallest living quarters (all ostensibly to have access to the big bucks clients that now seem to be putting off new web work)... Got to the point last year where I walked away from my beautiful Mustang convertible - with just six payments left on a five year plan... This is ANYTHING other than complaining, bitching, or pity-potting... This is simple reality at the moment. So FREE is always in this scenario a better alternative than $1300!!!

It would take an awful lot to get me away from MM. To some people I would say the .net part is attractive, to me its really not. After all one of the reasons I left asp was to get away from the big machine (M$).

Actually, I own a real estate company I do this as a hobby. From my perspective it seems that in most cases Blue Dragon is still at cf 5.0. And I basically have been learning cf from cfmx I just can't see me going backwards to learn what yesterday had. I realize a lot of people are still at 4.5 but a lot aren't. And with the more recent pushes by MM to keep cf going forward more people are starting to come over and I can't see them not doing what I am. That is learning from cfmx. The biggest complaint I hear from people is the cost. Truthfully I don't really buy that completely. Sure its some cash but when these shops are charging $100 + an hour you can write off what 65% or so of the cost , its only a few hours of actual on the clock costs. but anyway, like I said I'm not knocking your product at all, actually sometimes its intriguing.

Re: OT~ but a good laugh:)
If there's ONE advantage more than any other that I am grateful for, it's that I started building web sites back in January of 95. Netscape 0.9 beta was the browser to beat all browsers, however the majority of surfers were still using Linx (a text based browser - NO images!), and there were about 30 others on the market that year... Mosaic, Netcom, Prodigy... So I had NO CHOICE back then but to learn raw HTML, yes, using NOTEPAD. Of course for the past several years I've been using HomeSite, however when I'm out at a client's and there's a quick fix to be had, I always just open NotePad.

1. How do I include this udf into the loop below
2. does it work for empty spots in the string on the end of a row or just

RE: CSV loop
IT'S WORKING
Sam, Raymond, Andy, thanks for the help and guidance...
Ultimately, I honestly don't know why the CFFILE wasn't functioning, which
drives me nuts because that was the biggest mistery of all... never to be
discovered, as so many are not...
Once I resolved that, it was debugging the query loop - and it turned out
that in the query loop there were marks inside the query so it was
looking for
where (MFGPartNumber = '#listgetAt('#line#',1, ',')#')
instead of where (MFGPartNumber = '#listgetAt('#line#',1,
',')#') (double quote stuck inside the end of the WHERE clause so as a
result it was appending all of the field content with a and as a result
there were NO matches!
WOW...

RE: invalid precision value
OK Field 1, 2, 3 - This is, perhaps reasonable so, OK, 4-This tends to Blow Up, many times. Field 4 tends to end up as 2 or more fields, and if your tag doesn't fix this bombs out the insert/update. Further research shows that previous csv uploads had commas in that field and they were processed out properly in the tag loop... so there's some sort of bad data apparently in the csv I'm trying to post. I just can't find it. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: Alternatives to MS Access (WAS Re: MS Access)
I have a client with two eCommerce sites I built that run on Access because that's what the client budget allowed for the two sites generate roughly 15,000 people a month between the two sites and several thousand dollars in revenue a month for the client - this isn't enterprise level but that type of client is my idea of a perfect Access candidate as a starting point. With consistent sales performance they can then eventually justifying the painless upgrade and scaling into SQL server. Another similar client generates nearly half a million dollars in revenue a year on the Access driven web site I built for them back in 1999. Again, it may not be Fortune 1000 but any site that will make a company half a million dollars a year in revenue that they paid less than $5,000 to have developed and that uses Access is pretty compelling a reason to say that Access has it's place. In that case the client insisted on it, but hey - over three years later it's still fast, consistent and solid.The site itself runs smoothly - it's the live feed to UPS that craps out from time to time thanks to the UPS site being down! I'll never forget how I was blown away when I discovered the compact and repair function. I used to take a db that I'd created for a previous client and use a copy of it for a new site, sans data yet it always bugged me that a db with zero records was several megs! ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Visual Fusion - Thoughts?
Visual Fusion sounds like something to learn more about, without a doubt - the potential is huge for those of us who have skills in CF but not in other languages like VB - the question tho is how do you run this in a stand-alone capacity without needing the Server? I am assuming there's extensive footwork that's been done to research if this is in violation of any aspect of Allaire's/Macromedia's licensing... The potential is for this to be a next generation top-shelf solution At 03:59 PM 1/14/03 -0600, you wrote: Hello CF-Talk community: For the last year or so I've been working on an application called Visual Fusion© (Patent pending). The application is basically a program that takes ColdFusion coding to the next level and allows you to create stand-alone applications written in ColdFusion (CFML) code. The application works exactly like Visual Basic, but powered by CFML. The idea is to allow ColdFusion developers the ability to distribute their existing ColdFusion projects without the need of a web server / ColdFusion server. After the application is created, you compile it and create an .EXE for it (with the ability to create a setup, etc..). Therefore allowing us ColdFusion developers to sell our applications to clients that cannot afford or don't want to buy servers (ColdFusion server / Web Server) and to distribute our applications much more securely without the chance of decrypting and loss of our techniques. The other thing about this application is that it will also be an alternative to application development as an alternative to Visual Basic. I wanted to see the reaction for such an application and to see what everyone's thoughts and comments were on such an application. Also, I while back I messaged asking people that know Java Programming who would like to help build this application to speed up the development. If anyone out there would like to help build this product and take part of profits as payment, let me know. I sure can use the help! :) I welcome all suggestions and comments...

RE: Got an opinion on MM Contribute?
Contribute is being interpreted by some of my prospective clients as Macromedia's version of my company's proprietary web content management tools on their initial reading of the Contribute site marketing material. They ask me why do we need to pay you when we can use Macromedia's tools? There really is no similarity beyond marketing hype, however it's becoming a new issue we need to address in the sale cycle... Bottom line though is our client sites can be maintained by clerical workers with no programming, computer or technical savvy, and with Contribute there's a HUGE potential for site failure due to the depth of the software...
