Yet another OT Mail Relay move question
FINALLY I'm moving to IMail from Post.Office because my being listed on spam lists has caused me massive difficulties. Does anyone have any experience in how to move pending email to the new server? (I've got fifty virtual domains...) THe IMail system only allows importing if both are live servers and each on a different box. My situation only allows me to have the new mail server set up and running on the same server as the existing P.O. Is there per chance a CF script I could run? (one can only dream)...

session variables, app variables, I'm LOST
TWO similar issues 1. Order Numbers I've got four sites with shopping cart systems I created. They all rely on an on-the-fly order number creation system that gets passed in the URL because not all visitors have cookies enabled. However I hate passing this in the URL. I've been reading a lot about session variables and application variables, server side, client side... and I'm more confused than ever about what the right solution is for my situation. With each new shopper I need a unique ID for the shopping session that becomes the order number. This became glaringly more imortant recently when I found a search engine had listed a client site with an order number in the URL. Fortunately that site didn't have a preferred customer program so no billing information could have been gleaned, but still - serious stuff... 2. MemberIDs I've got two sites with preferred customer programs that use MemberIDs that when people sign in DO get stored in cookies. Sometimes the cookies stick and others they dont, even on my own computer. Lately sometimes in IE when I close my browser the cookie is stuck even though it's set to expire on browser closing... So here again, what's a better way to store MemberID tracking that I can check for on each page load during that member's session?

Flash Remoting with CF MX server ?SOT?
I'm attempting to learn how to do dynamic textual content loaded into a Flash MX site I'm creating. I know how to send Flash form data to CF for processing, but I'm lost with pulling data into Flash (Like a list of corporate contacts, their email and phone info, grouped by department)... I was going to go use LoadVars then someone said use XML files, so I started learning how to create compliant XML files with CF MX... then I saw the (to me) completely INANE code I'd need to teach myself in order to properly parse the XML file inside Flash... THEN I was being led by the Flash community that the best way is Flash Remoting, but I ain't got the $1,000 for the remoting software... AND I'm doing this site on the same box as the CF server and the database (Small site on a shared server)... Do I need to use remoting software? (Rather than using cluge-y loadvars, loadvariables or XML parsing)? DOES CF MX Server come with remoting? Can anyone please provide me an example of how to implement this if it does? Fields I need to loop through: Department ContactName ContactTitle ContactPhone ContactEmail These need to be grouped by Department and then get posted onto a dynamic text movie clip so I can format them and make the email clickable...

To do this in real time, they'd need to connect to the same datasource (at least for the inventory aspects). That means you better ensure they have best of breed world class layered security going on in between the web front end and their back end brick and mortar system. How big is the company? Is it just one retail physical location? Do they have POS tracking into their current inventory system?

I need to either know how to get passed the password or a CF snippet to learn the data table names, column names and data types. Or can I just do an import from within SQL server 2000 without that password? Any help would be greatly appreciated - otherwise I need to charge the client a lot of money to build this from scratch.

Two questions. I've got a site with over 1000 products. In that site, when bringing up any category my code (see below) shows 10 products per page with a Next / Previous function.

Re: OT: US Sales Tax Question
Just a back-up verification to one answer already given, as another incorrect one was given: The site seller is required to charge tax to any buyer who resides in a state where the site seller legally does business. If the seller has a license to do business in New York, if the buyer is not in New York, there is no tax, if they are, full New York tax applies (not refined to municipality level taxes -it's the full amount (city, state and local sales tax combined). If the seller legally does business in New York and California, any buyer from either of those states would be required to pay the sales tax for that State. NOTE: - Congress has been toying for years with sales tax required in ALL 50 states regardless of current location - eventually they will most likely require that. (The EU has started to do this so potentially the US won't be too far behind). When that happens the nightmare of keeping current sales tax rates on the site begins. My shopping carts already allow the site owner to manually add a State/Tax rate combination in the admin area - allows for all 50 states and Washington DC- give them a feature like this now and use it as a selling point (basically to say your system does what all the top commerce systems do). ALSO (this is extra info below is for anyone reading who isn't familiar with card authorization and the legal requirements of it) IF credit cards are accepted for product based sales, the seller can not legally charge the card until the product is shipped. Live card processing allows for two steps - authorization at time of purchase, then after-the-fact charge the card (usually in a batch process to save the site owner hassles of needing to log into the auth company admin for every single purchase separately.

RE: FTP; non-techies using
Just to clarify, On those sites, the client DOES have CFFile capability, as I do build that into every ecommerce site I create as part of the Add and Modify Product pages. It's just that when they upload fifty or 100 products at a shot using my web based data entry system, (data entry is fast) having to "browse" for ever Thumbnail, every larger view image , then wait for these to upload before moving on to the next product and so forth is a HUGE pain in their butt. So I don't have any problem offering them FTP as well as the cffile function (with restrictions and contractual coverage). Offering BOTH where it makes sense, with my previous caveats, is the only way to go from a professional perspective that covers your needs and theirs. Take it a step further, check the file dimensions and auto-downsize on the fly if it's too big for the wonderful front end you'll design. Custom Cold Fusion tags in the tag gallery - gotta love em!

Re: FTP; non-techies using
Very good question - some long term experience here: I have half a dozen clients who maintain ecommerce sites with hundreds or thousands of products - each one having at least a Thumbnail and a larger view image... Two of them wanted FTP and a new client also wants this (he's also going to be uploading MP3 sound track samples - music store site)... Here's the challenge - what naming convention, file size restrictions and image dimension parameters do you have set up? I provide the specific info in writing to them. I also as was previously suggested, limit them to a special subdirectory that the front end site points to. In that sub, there's a directory for Thumbnails, one for Larger View images, etc... Because they're not using cffile, I cant guarantee the image name will match on a field in the database, so I've informed them that if they post an image and it's not showing up, it's on their dime if I need to Figure it Out or Fix it. HERE's one - Client owns a Luggage site. Gets his images on CD from each of his manufacturers. SOME are JPG already, some are GIF, and some are TIFF. OH YEAH - Some of those JPG files - they're not RGB / Web enabled Jpgs, they're CMYK JPGs so some browsers dont display them at all , some do, and some display only half the layering. Guess who had to figure that out, and then TRAIN the client on conversion? I did, for a FEE. Yep. Oh yeah - File sizes - if you say they cant make them bigger than 200x160, and they violate that, the front end looks like Crapola... SO I then needed to teach that client how to do Batch Resizing of files in Photoshop. Again, for a fee. AND to be extra sure it was as visitor friendly as possible, I run a CFDirectory on their upload directory on the fly to be sure the photo is there before I call it... for which I got a fee. So, they can pay you now, or if you cover your ass with instructions AND written agreement that "somthing doesnt work on Their process,and if you fix it you get a fee" then you're pretty much covered. OH YEAH - Better run Antivirus on that directory... and Limit the file type uploads as well...

To Sean: Thank You (was Re: MM Exchange lack of proper nav Suggested Design)
Sean, I dont know if anyone has expressed this here yet, (I can only occasionally read the posts here lately due to work volume), however I was up at the CF Exchange at MM's site today. The changes implemented since we had our huge discussion here a couple months ago are TRULY and GRATEFULLY appreciated. On a scale of 1-10 the version in place when we had that thread was, in my view, around a 6... Thanks to the changes MM staff has made, it's up to an 8.9... (Hey, I'm a stickler for wanting all the changes we'd asked for, so I make a tough critic) THANKS to YOU for putting up with us here, and the entire team at Macromedia for always listening to our rants and diatribes... And also for having the continued willingness to do what you can based on those requests given the importance of other, more mission-critical factors at MM.

SQL Server Indexing of tables help
Exactly 6 years this month as an independent consultant. TODAY I am embarking on my first ever SQL Server driven web site. (So please, be gentle with me) OMG yes, first ever - til now just never needed more than MS Access. I'm running SQL Server 2000, and have successfully converted a message forum Access database to SQL Server - total 3,609 records. 3 Basic Questions 1 - Question regarding indexing. In Access, I was able to just designate whether a column in a table was indexed or not. In reading the SQL Server documentation I THINK I need to do this through "Manage Indexes" / Create Index. However I'm not sure if I'm doing this properly. I have three columns in the table that I want to index on - CategoryChoice (nvarchar), PostDate (datetime desc) and ThreadDate (datetime desc). All three are non-unique. I createed an index based on these three columns, and set it as nonclustered, name it BoardSort The FIleGroup is checked and set as Primary. Subquestions: Is that all I need to do, or am I missing something? Do I need to refer to this index on my web site to make use of it? 2. - Auto-Incremented Number field - in Access, I just set a field to AutoNum. In SQL Server, after import, for my CategoryChoices Table, I have a unique ID field that was autonum. The import wizard converted the column to an INT and I set the Identity to YES, Identity Seed to 1, and Identity Increment to 1. Is that all I need to do to achieve the same results as an Access AutoNum? 3. On the front end of the site, for my queries, what is the syntax for a query regarding ownership? I recall needing to either refer to the table owner or provide the UserID and Password to access a table however I can't recall where in the query to do this or when. Couldn't find any info in the documentation. Thanks very much for any help provided [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Re: Re:project/bug management system

Re: Re:project/bug management system
I have a task management system in CF that I'd built a while back and used on big projects ($500,000 site with five team members) and smaller ones as well. It's probably got 60 to 70% of the functionality of the tracking-tools system in it already. I'd be glad to donate it as the core base for the open-source solution.

RE: Antivirus software on web server
I have a main web server with a seperate mail server, and a 3rd box for smaller clients thats a combined mail and web server. ON THAT box and the Mail server I run Norton Antivirus COrporate. I do this from the main network server where Norton's Console is installed. All of the boxes have the client Norton doing Live Updates that grab their def. files from the main server. THe main server gets its def. files from Symantec's intelligent Updater files, which we pull daily.

integrating CF site with Quickbooks - guidance

I've got an ecommerce site where the customer uses Quickbooks and need to bridge the inventory, and a help-desk Intranet that will track billable and non-billable hours, based on Client ID and work-type that needs to go to QuickBooks as well.

I do need to say thanks for reminding me about the ridiculousness of bundling HS with CF... been up too long to have thought that aspect through. All the other points regarding our desires for a lean high end coder stand though in terms of stand-alone, more focus on delivery of an evolving code writer that doesnt need to wait for the next DW deliverable, etc. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

Right, but there's excess technology in there, and every upgrade requires waiting for a DW upgrade... and that pricing issue may be for now, what about down the road? Will it always be a separate install? Just my lone opinion here - if the team the evolves HS are the same team that evolves DW, it's two different mind sets being forced into one team, which dilutes the potential quality of where HS can go so to me that detracts from it even more. If they're a different team, then there's no real reason why they can't give it to us stand-alone. I mean I'm GIVING them a reason to make more money here by splitting it out. OR as stated already, bundle it with CF because I bet we're the majority of users right? ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 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

Should Macromedia start selling >HS+ separately at the old price? ;) Actually, YES. I have no need, desire, or willingness to have software I'll never use on my computer. If it's tied together at the back end, then it's potentially going to have install,upgrade, and bug implications as well. Unbundled, stand-alone. Bundling and tying it in is what Microsoft has been doing since day one, and I've always disagreed with it, though I've adapted because it's the Operating system. Until MM unbundles HomeSite, I'll stay with my OLD stand-alone version, and not shell out any more money. Lost revenue to Macromedia, yet their own staff frankly admits that the CF community is by far a TINY fraction of their income base, so they really have no motive from their view to ever consider doing that which is purely in favor of the CF community in anything other than CF itself. SO - Why not bundle HomeSite with CF instead? Bet they never considered it! ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Your ad could be here.

RE: Any way to get Homesite+ 5.5 without Dreamweaver?
A couple months before the Macromedia buyout of Allaire, I remember quite distinctly how Allaire put out a call for a new Product Manager - I was one of many who applied, and got to the pre-interview call stage, though I was passed over because my experience was heavy on the PROJECT management side and weak on the PRODUCT management side... THEN they radically raised the cost of Cold Fusion. - My interpretation was and still is that they did this as a pre-cursor to being audited for valuation by MM staff... the more you make on your products the more you'll be bought for. SO With the new fees, new license structure, forced purchase of DW to get HomeSite, it sounds like me they're positioning to eventually go from MacroMedia to MicroMedia when Microsoft makes the take-over move.

Re: Web based FTP client written in ColdFusion
I run FTP ServU on my server - been using it for five years with great success. Effortless to set up and control user accounts, no licenses needed per seat. Using IE as the client I am fully capable of uploading and downloading, dragging and dropping from Windows explorer. Allows renaming files, adding and deleting folders. Personally I prefer CuteFTP on the client side simply because it has a split window. Either way, using something like FTP ServU (and other 3rd party FTP server solutions) eliminates all the headaches of maintaining FTP accounts on the Windows server.

Search Engines , bookmarks and security
I've got a shopping cart on a few sites where my original code passes the order number on the URL. Now, my system checks to see if an Order Number is passed on the URL, and if so, checks to see if it's older than 30 minutes old... if it is, I present a message saying it's expired. In the three years this has been used, I've never gotten a complaint from a client or shopper about the time frame. My problem is this - someone claims they entered the site with a link that had someone else's order number in the URL and that they were able to see that person's personal information and this INCLUDED their credit card info!! Now, first, this can only happen if it's within that 30 minute period but JEEZE LOUISE I can never afford to allow that to happen. Now, I have NO idea how they got that link with that order number, and rather than attempting to figure THAT out, I want to eliminate the Order Number from the URL. The problem is it's in a couple hundred locations on the site. I've read a bunch about session variables, UUIDs, and such, but I'm floundering here trying to figure out how to tap into a UUID process that's generated native to Cold Fusion, rather than me creating the Unique order number by a date/time scramble, then placing that into a cookie THEN replacing the massive number of references on the site in some less than excruciatingly tedious and time consuming way... especially when I factor in multiple sites!

Yeah with CSS, you can do this with nested DIV tags, and such, however then you need to spend your precious time dealing with all the cross-browser incompatabilities due to the current state of poorly implemented CSS rules because EVERY major browser out there has at least some bugs in how it handles CSS... for example the "Box model" fiasco and Internet Explorer... just to name ONE issue. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 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

Thanks to everyone who posted a reply - I'm going with Win2K's task scheduler.

Must be something in the air Now, to just get Microsoft to stop sending out 39 updates patches and security fixes every few days and instead spend two more years before they deploy their next system OH wait - too late - Win 2003 is just out isn't it? hahahaha LIKE I'd EVER consider jumping to THAT system before it's been patched and updated for two more years! ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Your ad could be here.

question / scheduled tasks CF 5 specific
Having difficulty finding examples or better documentation on the CF 5 Scheduler... I'm about to attempt to try for the first time to run a scheduled task once an hour on my server - Win2K, IIS, and CF 5. I want to schedule a task that automatically retrieves the latest Symantic virus definition files hourly instead of the minimum daily that the System Center console allows for directly. It's literally a one line code thing - a command prompt execution of the Live Update system configured to only get the definition files and exclude product updates. As the documentation is overly thin for someone unfamiliar with this sort of process, I have CLUE ZERO regarding how to execute a server based executable with command line variables through the scheduler, as the only "option is CFHTTP... So.. any help or pointing to more info is extremely appreciated... AND ALSO I've heard (even today on this list) that CF 5 doesn't handle Scheduled events too well - THOUGHTS? COMMENTS? ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com

Well, I think MM's attempt at this is their "favorites" link. Problem with that is, it takes me forever to go through irrelevant tags, and by the time I do find something of interest, sometimes I just don't have the patience anymore at that point to remember to click the add to favorites box. And yes, I often use various combinations of key-words to try and overcome some of these issues, then can't remember how I got a certain set of results. So another good suggestion Dude. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=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
To Sean Re: MM Exchange lack of proper nav Suggested Design
General response to Sean followed by just one last new conceptual request. As was stated in various posts, (and I can only speak for myself on this) kudos and gratitude to you and the entire MM team for your open-ear policy - this is truly heartfelt. The fact that you've got multiple sources of input and need to consider all (CF,DW, FW, FL and Director) is very understandable from a corporate perspective yet speaks directly to what I believe to be the root cause of the problem. Personally, I feel that CF, being the least visual of the list, has line-coders as the core user base, not designers, most of whom are quite delighted at spending great amounts of time visually experiencing web sites rather than desiring to dive into the meat and potatoes. While I love Flash for all that it is and does, the reality IMHO and from my years of web dev management and client / end user analysis, is that it gets in the way too often regarding serving up cold hard content in those situations where textual content viewing is the most efficient need of the user. The exchange is a perfect example. Flash strips away the end-user options all sorts of ways to Sunday and not only does that slow many of us down, it goes directly against the standardization guidelines most of us strive for in our own work. I will continue to evangelize CF to new developers I meet, and where clients request it Flash as well, however I will ALWAYS put heavy emphasis on the side of standardization, and content is king, rather than alienating web users who need power access and in which cases designs like the Exchange are, to one degree or another, inconsiderate of this concept. As such, again in my opinion, MM has for numerous reasons failed to weigh the importance of this issue. Sure, many of the CF community might appreciate the fact that the new Exchange works better than the old version, however I wonder how much of that is due to the additional features as compared to the layout and accessability that could even more effortlessly be provided in a Non-Flash layout. If the dozen of us on this list in the past few days turns out to be a minority when weighed against all of the Design-centric users of the other Exchanges, and if that then results in our core requests being categorized into the "not enough opposition to what MM has worked so many hours on, I URGE, BEG and IMPLORE you to consider one last request in this arena. This would be that just ONE MM team member be tasked to create a Non-Flash interface for the Exchange that would allow those of us who prefer faster and much more content user-oriented access to such vital resources to have our choice. A Visually appealing Non-Flash design with all the same power features of the current system PLUS the features requested in this thread, would not drain the resources of the MM staff to create. Heck, Matt and I have already even come up with a core look that could be applied. With Cold Fusion generating the content and layout, this would take a GREAT DEAL LESS time and effort than the same results in FLASH. It would return access to those of us who need it. Power users, Visually impaired users (power or otherwise), and anyone among the current fans of the existing Flash design who may just want a choice. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.

Cookies set but my site doesnt generate cookies!
I've got a new site I'm building using CF and all pages are .cfm (CF 5, Win2k, IIS) And in my new Netscape 7.1 browser it lets me see what cookies are set on a site. Well, oddly I went to one of the text mock-up templates on my site and Netscape claims this site set a cookie, yet I don't set any on this site! It's obviously wrong - the cookie label appears to have come from the previous site I was on! Is there a way for me to test the state of cookies that come this way and clear them out in my Application.cfm file?

Completely agree! Building three sites, all on limited budgets - one is ECommerce, one ie ECatalog, and one is gads and gads of content pure content.. Using TABLES in all of them. CSS for fonts, colors, styles, general layout within the tables, and a bit more. NO use of DIVS and such. Even with this "hybrid" method, I have put more time into debugging just between NN 7 and IE6 for PC than I sometimes think it's worth... but I keep plodding along. Sure, I'll work to make the sites at least readable in Safari/Opera, but within limits - serious limits. And by doing this transitional work (instead of "strict") I will be able to get the sites delivered in a reasonable time, have them look sharp AND be able to meet accessability requirements (using named and or percentage sized fonts instead of forced and such)... CSS, HXTML at the extreme has people working on sites for weeks and weeks and weeks just trying to fix or patch for cross-browser manufacturer failures. IMHO It's just not justifiable to the small or mid-size business web site unless the client specifically has a need, either now or in the upcoming future. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.

As Bryan suggested, I URGE Tracert from all "cant get the site" points. First thing I do when this happens is TraceRt. I ask each person that is testing to do this if they can not see a site. (Actually, first thing I do is ask if they can get to other sites at all! But in this case, it's clear that multiple locations have issues.) With a trace route I have learned in the past that one or another ISP somewhere has problems internally to their router system. Odd as it is, it can happen. For example - I am in New York - I have a client in Houston Texas. They called - Site's down. I checked - No, it's not. They said they had two calls confirming it down. I checked the logs - during the time it was supposedly down, tons of activity was coming in from all over the country AND even in Houston. It turned out, however, with a tracert by two people that couldn't get there, that a common hop point for SOME people was down. I called that company, and they said they had been working on an internal router issue! As soon as they fixed it, all was good again. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

Stan, you bring up a VERY important point that none of us has addressed in the past two days of posts. Flash may be a flagship product for MM, however to disallow the user from using their own preferences in viewing what is purely a TEXT based content system doesn't make any more sense than any of the other issues we've been addressing that are the direct result of some designer's idea of a pretty interface. Accessability really is the issue here from ALL angles in regard to just about every single request posted in these two days. Vision impairment is by far the most serious of course when it comes down to it!

I download a LOT of tags (hey, I'm self-taught in 90% of what I do, and I have NO programming background so I rely heavily on the kindness of the community).

RE: MM Exchange lack of proper nav Suggested Design Change
Sean, I have created one suggested layout design for the Exchange search results page. It does still leave room for the Top Picks on the right, however we're expressing that we don't see the point of this in a Search Results page. A major part of this is that I would venture to guess that someone using the exchange search system is already the choir, so we're asking to tailor the look to the choir. This is, again, just one suggestion, however it includes much better use of the space, still allows all the sorting, and now includes a "Results Per Page" drop-down as well so we can determine how many to see on a page. The point is, while up until now you may have gotten feedback suggesting the layout you'd provided was working, we're saying it doesn't, especially when compounded by all the other difficulties. http://www.brionanet.com/ExhchangeSearchLayoutSuggestion.jpg HTH Rafael ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

Choosing a chat system
Wow, I actually have a post that has nothing to do with (well ALMOST nothing) to do with the Exchange issues. I'm trying to find a good CF based Chat system for the non-profit alumni site I run. We've got almost 1200 members now using a CF based Forums system I built a couple years ago, and so I figured it's time to find a chat component (beyond my time, energy or ability to build my own). I went through the Exchange and found several, however most look like they're too basic, stripped down... a couple links went to sites that I was afraid to consider unless I get a solid recommendation from a local CF expert or six, I can't afford to risk installing a chat system someone else made... ANYHOW, this is a low budget site - I get by on donations trickling in once in a blue moon. I am willing to pay something, though, it's just that this isn't for a paying client, so it's on my back! My ideal: Non Java based, icons instead of the old IRC type / commands, multiple rooms, private chat rooms, ability to block a user, and recording chat logs... (It would be accessible to my members only, all of whom are databased and must already sign into the site to use the forums so I've already got their User Info, and would like to just take them right into chat without needing to sign in again.

Sean, thanks for getting quick action on this issue it was one of the most
frustrating. With the bread-crumb I can now at least feel better about
diving in.
What are the odds that the other issues raised in the past couple days will
be addressed? (option to set my preference for results per page, better
use of screen space, open in new window, default to my version for example).
While some of these may seem cosmetic to MM, things like more info on the
first page would save me a great deal of time from having to look at
totally irrelevant tags. I also understand that you're possibly very
frustrated by the lack of depth of the key-word listings on most of the
tags posted, however rather than needing someone to go through all the tags
and manually fix that, a layout change where we can see more of the
description would help s much.
I ask what the odds are because if the handful of us who have posted in the
past couple days all feel similarly regarding not just the "Back"
functionality, how many other developers out there feel the same way and
"haven't" spoken out? What is MM's rule? I know in general business
service on the web, it's my experience that for every ONE complaint there's
potentially hundreds of others who don't bother to say anything for fear of
"what's the point".

Re: MM Exchange lack of proper nav Suggested Design Change
I can't even believe I forgot this... If there's still going to be a star system, would it not be much more useful to have the rater post notes as to why they rated it 5 stars, or 2 stars? THIS is the kind of information that would make it worth my time to even consider the value of the star rating! OY. OK, So this is NOT a top priority to me, however it's a feature that I'm now requesting - just PLEASE place it somewhere down the priority list from the "user choice" or "user Preferences" regarding the option to open in a new window", the wide screen function, the larger text for visually impaired viewers, the "results per page", and all the other items others have posted here! But it IS a request none the less! Sorry if we've stacked the deck the past three days Sean, it's just clear that while I may have opened a can of worms, it was an ugly can just begging to be opened here, now that you've got a bunch of high end developers itching to get mega-kudos from the community! ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=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

Totally pointless. How hard could it be to >include a minimum number of votes to be on the Top Ten? Hahaha yeah... like one tag might have had 11,000 downloads but only 4 people used the star system! Does that men they went by the 4 people or the fact that 11,000 downloaded it? It's the 4 people. And the Top Picks? I am beyond nauseous from seeing that screen every time I try to get back to where I was. I personally just don't get it. 8 and a half years in this business, and never been so frustrated by something I need to work. Rather than it taking me 2 minutes like it used to, I lose two hours with RARE fortune at finding what I need. Instead, I end up posting to the lists and annoying everyone else. And why does the CF Gallery have to be in Flash anyway? To "conform" to the lackluster look of the MM site? At our expense?

Now we can cross our fingers, do some deep visualizations on seeing a next version in our "ideal", then just maybe see it come to life so we can really refine our productivity...

This is the first time that I've seen a direct acknowledgement about this. Sure most of the CF developer world that puts in a great deal of time on these lists are high end people, the actual sources for the majority of tags... It's just that us mid-level developers rely heavily on the gallery. I worked 15 hours straight overnight last night, and was in need of a couple solutions I KNOW exist, so why reinvent the wheel right? Here's a more in-depth list of my difficulties just this morning: The BACK function works about 80% of the time in some of my sessions, and NONE of the time in others. The lack of a pop-up window to look at a tag kills me. The fact that searches turn up 80% irrelevant stuff sometimes is beyond my comprehension. I also often get DIFFERENT results on search terms... today I did a search Spell Check and the first time got dozens of tags, almost NONE of which had the word SPELL in them. Next search I got a handful of results, half were spell check tags. Then I tried Spell Checker and sure, I got better results, but had to keep re-running the search. The fact that I have to look at such a SMALL area of the usable desktop to review the tag results is beyond reasonable. If I get 200 results back, why can't I choose how many to display on a page? And why can't the info be laid out across the screen instead of in so many little boxes? All that wasted space at the top and right of the page (even in 800x600 mode) is sad. And please, tell me - how many CF developers even HAVE 800x600 configured? We're not AOL parents, or WebTV grandparents! Why can't a SEARCH allow me to say "only show those that work in CF5?" Instead, I get 200 results, have to sort by the CF version column, and still scroll through all the irrelevant info. What does it mean when a tag says "CFMX-4 Does that mean that it's good on any version from CF 4 up through MX? If so, how come most of those are MX custom tags? I assume( right or wrong) that even though it "Claims" if I am understanding it, that it's downward compatable, how would I work with an MX built tag if I run CF 5? The list goes on and on and on from there, but that's a GOOD start! ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.

Totally pointless. How hard could it be to >include a minimum number of votes to be on the Top Ten? HINT for finding new tags. Forget the Exchange until MM remembers how important the exchange is to some of us. It's a sad statement, but hey ya know? Go to http://www.fusionauthority.com/ and browse through the TECH AND TAGS link. you get to view, in wide screen format, (under the "What's New in the Tag Gallery" links) the name and FULL description, and a direct to the tag in the gallery.
