Is there a replacement for Cold Fusion Studio?
You know, I really used to love CF Studio. Especially when it was HomeSite and before Allaire bought it out.. Ever since then, it has been my personal opinion that the quality in this product has slipped dramatically. It's quite buggy on any system that I've tried it on.. Annoying UI behavior mostly. It really hasn't evolved THAT much since the humble days of HomeSite yet it's now incredibly bloated and did I mention buggy? I do like the built in property dialogues for editing various CF commands.. it always helps when I'm dealing with that obscure command I can't quite remember the syntax for but am too lazy to dig up the docs. So-- where's a girl to look? What about Dreamweaver Ultradev? Is it a qualified replacement for CF Studio? Thanks, -RK __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Question about OLE-DB -- How to set up a SQL Server 7 database connection?
I'm mystified at how to go about setting up a native connection to SQL Server 7 databases using OLE-DB datasources. I've looked at all the docs I could find but the information available to me thus far is sparse and I'm left perplexed. Can someone give me a hand? My SQL Server's name is "warlock" and the database is "db_dev". My security is set up so that the CF service logs on as the same account that SQL server uses for database security. So, please help: What should I fill in "provider", "server", and "default database" fields to get it to work? All my attempts at guessing thus far have resulted in failure.

Programatically setting search path for custom tags
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --=_NextPart_000_0018_01BF9E30.91923440 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=_NextPart_001_0019_01BF9E30.91954180" --=_NextPart_001_0019_01BF9E30.91954180 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have been trying to find a good solution to this problem for years... Once again, I am noodling over it. I have a development server which multiple developers use. Each developer has their own directory and we use Visual Source Safe. This way, developers check in and out the files for the application we are all working on and use their app server directory as their working directory. Finally, there is a seperate directory for daily "builds" which we can show and tell. This application uses custom tags heavily. Now, the way CF finds its custom tags is either in the current directory of the calling template, or in the directory specified in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\CustomTags\CFM LTagSearchPath This is a problem. Either I have to organize all my CF files into one directory, which sucks since this app is quite big, or I lose code portability and version control by making all developers put their custom tags in D:\CFUSION\CustomTags. The question: IS THERE A WAY in an application.cfm file to set the custom tag search path local to only the calling template? If I have directories D:\Web_Root\rking\ and D:\Web_Root\yfeng, and each has an application.cfm file (for the same app, just different working directories), then I want each one to have ./customtags subdirectory, so that any template executed in D:\Web_Root\rking would look first in D:\Web_Root\rking\customtags for a custom tag if called and likewise in D:\Web_Root\yfeng would look in D:\Web_Root\yfeng\customtags for a custom tag if called from within that directory scope.

RE: Security holes revisited -- reward offered
Agreed.. boss sounds like an idiot. 1) Cover up the traditional security holes -- FTP, telnet.. Make sure that only specific accounts, if any, have access to your CF directory. 2) Make sure that all IIS hotfixes and NT service packs are installed. 3) Like that other guy said -- chances are he's going to try and exploit his relationship to your boss' daughter to get at a password. Perhaps he has access to your boss' machine at home. 4) Set up some anti-hacker counter measures within CF. Track bad logon attempts for a particular account -- when consecutive password failures reach a certain point, lock the account. You can also track based on the CGI.REMOTE_ADDR header. Consecutive failed logons from a single IP .. block it for x minutes. 5) You got a firewall? Use it. 6) Any of your users who use stupid passwords (like their name, "password", etc) are definitely a risk. If your passwords are stored in a database, do a "select count(*),password from users group by password" (modify as needed) to see if there are some particuarly generic passwords everyone is using. Security is security. The openings hackers typically exploit are 99% of the time general failures in your security infrastructure. This guy sounds like a retard, though. If I were you, I'd have fun toying with his tiny brain. You can do a reverse lookup on his IP address and alert him "The FBI has been notified of unauthorized entry attempts originating from PPP30150.01.ix.netcom.com" or other such silly messages that might make a newbie get a little sweaty. :-) > -Original Message- > From: Duane Boudreau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2000 1:07 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Security holes revisited -- reward offered > > > Nick, > > If your boss was willing to do this, I'd seriously consider quitting if I > were you.

RE: Programatically setting search path for custom tags
Thanks for the suggestion. This is the way I've been doing it, but it breaks code portability. I want the root of the application to be known from where the application.cfm file resides (I can find this out by doing some recursive CFDIRECTORY trickery), and not be hardcoding in something like this.

HTML question about spacer GIF's
At the risk of sounding like I'm trolling, I really am starting to think Navigator sucks. As far as development goes, IE has always treated me better. Here's my question: I use transparent spacer GIF's to assist in positioning stuff on my page. They work fine in IE, but in Netscrape it insists on putting this stupid 3D bevel around them for some bizarre reason. I've tried setting border="0" in the img tag but this has no effect. Anyone else run into this problem? Here's the code where I'm trying to make this work: ... that was the way it worked fine in IE.. but NS ignored it as it wanted something inside the tags. ($#*@!) I could use but this will make the as high as the base font size of the page.. no good. So, I tried using the image spacer as such: I wish I could give a URL where this stuff is at, but alas I'm inside a firewall. TIA for any assistance! (By the way -- are any other CF developers out there frustrated with the suck factor of Netscape? I know IE has its problems, but as far as developing for it, it is my opinion that it is superior.

Annoying CF Studio 4.5a Interface problems
I have Win 2000 on a Compaq Armada 1750.. In CF Studio 4.5a (also tried 4.5.1rc2) the interface with the mouse pointer acts quite hokey when trying to select text. Double clicking on a word doesn't select the word like normal -- it selects everything to the left of the cursor and to the beginning of the word. Clicking inside a selected block doesn't de-select the block, it goes to drag- and-drop.. The mouse wheel doesn't work inside CF Studio.. Other such annoying behavior. The mouse works great in every other app on the system, its just CF Studio that acts like this. These may seem like minor whines but they can become quite irritating when working full time inside CF Studio. Anyone else experience strange behavior along these lines?

And don't send HTML email, please Allaire claims support for large text objects since 4.x according to the readme's I've seen on the subject. However, as I said, with 4.5 CF hung whenever it tried to do a select with a clob column in it. But, as luck would have it, just last week Allaire released the 4.5.1 server update and after installing this, my problems went away entirely. And for anyone who hasn't used the Intermedia Text engine built into Oracle 8i, I _highly_ recommend it. It beats the crap out of the verity implementation inside CF, is just as (if not more) functional as the $200k+ full VDK licensing from Verity, and is built into every license of Oracle 8i. I've only been using it for about 2 weeks now, but so far everything I've seen of it has knocked my socks off! -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.

RE: Integer?

Re: Is 4.5.1 Solid
WBB, Your trashing of AOL rather bothers me. AOL is just an ISP like any other and if your application breaks when someone from AOL attempts to use it, then I would suggest the problem lies flatly on your end for your failure to support even the most basic of cross-browser compatibilities. Furthermore, your insinuation that AOL'ers are all stupid, silly, ignorant, and what-not is way off base. AOL has its share of newbies, but lots of professionals use it too. AOL has millions of users. This is quite a large target customer base. I suggest you show them a bit more respect.

It is a very light protocol and browser software either is or is not HTTP compliant. It is such a light protocol that there is no "95% HTTP compliant". And if you're not HTTP compliant, the whole web won't work for you. CF is an HTTP server extension. It does everything it does internally and simply sends and receives data streams from the HTTP listener.

If you are performing a task that requires a stateful and sequential series of events, I might suggest looking at creating your own session variable management system. In the example of your current record ID, this is also something that I would keep persistent in the URL or as a hidden form field, not as a CF session variable.

Does Cold Fusion care about dates?
CF variables are supposed to be typeless, but then there is the ParseDateTime() function in Cold Fusion which returns a date object from a string. Are there instances where certain functions require a bonafide date "object"? The reason I ask is that Oracle always has returned its dates as strings to Cold Fusion. If I want to get a full date/time, I have to do a to_char(col_name,'MM-DD- HH24:MI:SS') in my select statement. Either just the date or the whole date & time, it's still a string and CF stores it that way unless you do a ParseDateTime() on it. In any date function I've used, it doesn't seem to matter whether ParseDateTime() is used or not around the Oracle dates... So -- why is the function there in the first place? Am I missing something?

Create yet another form with a bunch of hidden fields, use JavaScript to populate the hidden fields and finally a theForm.sumbit(); .. If your forms are on multiple pages, you can do a similar technique to above but using a hidden frame which loads a document which stores the variables and then submits them.

There is no string, there is no number, there is only variable. This is the way, my son. :) Seriously-- typeless is typeless. You could say that all variables in CF are strings.

If it is a one-text-field form, then it will submit when the user presses Enter inside one of the text fields.

What's the use of structures, anyway?
Structures seem totally useless to me. If they were two dimensional, then I could see definite value. I'd love to see something like: .. etc ... As I understand it right now from reading the CF docs and Forta's books, structures are nothing at all but a one dimensional shorthand way of passing around a single row of key/value pairs.

Cold Fusion & Oracle dates
As it stands right now, if I want to get the hours/minutes/seconds from an Oracle date column retrieved within a CFQUERY, I need to use to_char along the lines of "select to_char(thedatecol,'MM-DD- HH24:MI:SS')" .. But of course if I ever do a "select *", I'm bungled. If I do a "select thedate" just like that and then try to work with the time retrieved, it is always going to be "00:00" unless I explicitly retrieve the time values as above. Is there a way to set the default display format of the dates retrieved from Oracle either on CF's side or on the Oracle server's side? Anybody know?

Barring any security holes on your web server, there is no real need to encrypt your files. Encryption is usually used by folks who write shrink-wrapped applications. There was awhile ago a bug on IIS that allowed incoming visitors to actually download the source code of your CF apps, bypassing CF App Server altogether. This has long been fixed, but I'm sure there's another bug or two similar to this yet to be exploited. The point: Beware coding sensitive data into your CF templates. Make sure your security is tight. (Like, don't do something dumb and allow public FTP read access to your CFML directories!). Make sure your server is up to date. Blah blah.

Am I going to have to write a custom tag to simply convert a human-readable number into a number- number for insertion into an Oracle column? (Oracle's to_number() is just as useless, if not more so! urg.)

Inserting long string literals into an Oracle LONG column -- error!
I have a tag that I'd like to insert/update the value of into an Oracle LONG column. For simple and short values, the following works fine: update theTable set theCol = '#form.textareaname#' where However, if I get too much text in that string literal, I get an "ORA- 01704: string literal too long" error. An Oracle LONG data type can hold up to 2gb of text in it, so that's not the prob. Any ideas?

I find this humorous for some strange reason. Remove those annoying tags or be subject to lawsuits and workman's comp claims! FWIW, Blink tags are tacky and vulgar, imho.

So does > cflock que it up for the next person, or what does it do exactly? As per the documentation: (RTFM, dude) The CFLOCK tag provides two types of locks to ensure the integrity of shared data: exclusive lock read-only lock An exclusive lock single-threads access to the CFML constructs in its body. Single-threaded access implies that the body of the tag can be executed by at most one request at a time. A request executing inside a CFLOCK tag has an "exclusive lock" on the tag. No other requests are allowed to start executing inside the tag while a request has an exclusive lock. ColdFusion issues exclusive locks on a first-come, first-served basis. A read-only lock allows multiple requests to access the CFML constructs inside its body concurrently. Therefore, read-only locks should only be used when the shared data will only be read and not modified. If another request already has an exclusive lock on the shared data, the request will wait for the exclusive lock to be released before it can obtain it. -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.

There are two tables, cdata and cglobal, both with a cfid column. The CFID column is in the format of :. On a whim, I just tried adding another column to this table (a date column) to see if I could modify it.
