Re: problem

[Rick Mason]

Pete,

Also take a look at AngularJS.  For me they've taken a CF centric approach
to JavaScript that I just understand easier.

By CF centric I mean that with most JS frameworks you have to tell the DOM
what to do and how to do it.  With AngularJS you tell it what you want to
do and it figures out on its own how to do it.

Re: A live CFML code testing tool

[Rick Mason]

Russ,

Boffo!  This is something that the CF world has needed for a long time.
 However I am seeing an error, despite whatever code that I try to run:

key [FILENAME] doesn't exist in struct
(keys:lastvisit,urltoken,cftoken,sessionid,cfid)

It references a cffile on line 43

Re: (ot) Places to post a CF opening

[Rick Mason]

Make certain that the job is posted on indeed.com .  If you're not familiar
with the site they scan all the major job sites and listings on major corp
sites.  But they've added the ability for employers to directly post
jobs on the site.

Concerning your opening are they open to telecommuting?  If not, why not?

Re: CF code mapper

[Rick Mason]

Michael,

I attend a meeting last night of the local actionscript users group and the
speaker was from JetBrains.  Although he was showing off their IDE for Flex
they just added CF support.

He showed a new feature of their ultimate edition that inspects your code
and creates a UML diagram of it.

http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/uml.html

Looked to be an extremely interesting IDE and since they have a free 30 day
trial it might be worth giving it a try.

Couple of other things I saw it do that were kind of unique:
1. It will scan your code and locate variables declared and never used
2. Find missing var's in your code
3. When you define a color in your code it graphically shows up in the
gutter
4. Actually make suggestions how your code can be rewritten to make it more
efficient.

Though the presenter never showed any CF code last night in his examples it
was a pretty impressive presentation.

Phil,

Always check eBay out for CF licenses.  I did a quick check and found a
CF-9 standard with a buy now price of $670.

Just make sure its not an OEM copy or an upgrade.

This story explains in greater detail about the other logbox:

Here's his website and note like the politician quoted that he is also

Re: Coldfusion Hosting

Paul,

I just got off the phone with the head of the shared hosting division of
Hosting.com. He assured me they have no plans to discontinue ColdFusion.  In
fact he said they just announced recently they had added ColdFusion 9
hosting to their plans.

Please tell us who gave you that information from hosting.com.

Re: Problem with getting cfhttp to do a post

Rick,

Well the problem isn't authentication.  I got off the phone with the payment
service techs and the service doesn't use authentication by default unless
we request it, which we did not.  So what else might it be?

Re: Problem with getting cfhttp to do a post

[Rick Mason]

I did a little more research and both CF-8 and CF-9 do not provide support
for Integrated Windows, NTLM, or Kerebos authentication - only for basic
authentication.  I am going to check back with the service to confirm which
authentication (if any) that they are using.  Still curious how a simple
form post is able to bypass this security check?

Re: Problem with getting cfhttp to do a post

[Rick Mason]

I found this earlier post on cfhttp only supporting basic authentication,
this was in 2002.

http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:10601

Do either of you know whether this is sitll the case with CF-8?  Does CF-9
fix this problem?  Someone at the CFUG last night said CF-9 fixed problems
he was having with cfhttp, but I can't find in the docs that the tag was
even updated.

Re: Problem with getting cfhttp to do a post

[Rick Mason]

Rick,

How is it that it doesn't ask to authenticate when I do a simple form post?
What is different about a cfhttp post request masquerading as a form post
that it triggering its error system?

Re: Problem with getting cfhttp to do a post

[Rick Mason]

John,

The exact message is 'You are not authorized to access this page'.  So
somehow it sees a cfhttp post as different than a simple form post of the
same information.  Something doesn't look right and is triggering its error
mechanism as it calls a pageaccessdenied.aspx.

Problem with getting cfhttp to do a post

[Rick Mason]

I need to interact with an asp.Net based payment service.  I am able to do a
simple form post to the https:// URL with no problems.  However I can't make
it work with cfhttp and I've spent days trying.  Even after importing their
SSL cert into CF, it connects (gives me a 200) but then tells me I don't
have p[ermission to use the system.  Here's a short version of the code that
I am using:

https://myurl.com method = "POST" Port="443" charset="utf-8"
UserAgent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0)"
multipart="No"  timeout = "1" result="CN">
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  


 

Alternatively I tried the cfx_http5 tag and it gave me a Windows 12006 error
which is defined as the URL scheme could not be recognized or supported.
I'm pretty certain the problem is a networking one with the Windows 2003
server on our end (and the services techs agree) but I've run out of things
to try.

Anyone have an answer?

Re: ColdFusion 9 Developer Tutorial

[Rick Mason]

John,

I was one of the technical editors of the book.  If people are curious it
was almost completely rewritten and additional chapters were added on things
like unit testing (MXUnit) and ORM.

I'm happy to see CF books selling well enough that their number is
increasing ;<).  I just bought the CF Anthology and it's a great read too.

Re: How to dispaly flash video in coldfusion pages

[Rick Mason]

Paul,

Sadly Flowplayer doesn't support IE-6 and IE-7.  No matter how we may feel
about those browsers that's a non-starter for us, they're too much of our
traffic.  For a commercial product to simply say to those users to select a
'sane' browser is rude as well.  But it did look nice though - sigh.

CFlickr help upload to a group

[Rick Mason]

I am building a web form that uploads pictures to our account on Flickr.
Using the CFlickr library examples I was able to get the form posting to
Flickr.  But I need it to post to a specific group within our account.  In
Flickr parlance groups are sort of like folders and depending on the posters
location it should go to one of two groups.

There is an API http://chris.m0nk3y.net/projects/CFlickr/Documentation/ but
I have been struggling to figure it out this morning.  Anyone done something
similar willing to share how they did it?

Re: In theory - site search and auto-suggest

[Rick Mason]

Lee,

You didn't mention the database.  I know Microsoft SQL Server has a nifty
text search capability built in.  We had someone do a meeting on it for us
one time and its lightening fast and less overhead to get setup than
Verity.  I am pretty sure that you can use Verity as well to search a
database in case that isn't an option.

If speed is still a problem, launch without it and find out your most
popular searches.  Then build a small table for just the 500 most popular
searches that will popup quickly and most users will be satisfied.

Re: Third party web crawlers

[Rick Mason]

Richard,

I've built quite a few search engines in CF and always used TeleportPro from
TenMax.com .  They have a range of models from $40 on up depending on the
size of your crawl.  Their support is first rate.

Another appealing option that I've had friends report positively on is a web
service that does the crawling for you - www.80legs.com . What they're doing
looks simply amazing and it's fairly inexpensive as well.

The actual indexing part is fairly easy to do with CF and Verity or Lucene.
For retrieval and entry into the database you are going to have to become
good a regular expressions which CF also supports.

Re: ColdFusion 9 books

There will be a CF-9 version of ColdFusion Developer Tutorial by John
Farrar.  I just checked with John on IM ot see if I could announce it.  He
said the publisher was pleased with sales of the CF-8 book and had asked him
to update it.

John said that he would add coverage of ORM, caching and unit testing in the
CF-9 book.  I know he is also going to have a series of short how-to videos
on the web when the book is released.  He said that he was well underway on
the book but wouldn't say when it would be released.

Re: Problems with CF-9 install on a Mac

[Rick Mason]

Tony,

I will consider it but quite frankly a lot of the locals are having problems
with CF-9 and Snow Leopard.  In fact if you do a quick google search you
will find far more CF-9 install woes under Snow Leopard than its
predecessor.

I thought for sure there had to be somebody on here that experienced the
same problem.  Why did it think that I was running CF-9 during the install
program when I wasn't?   I did have a working copy of CF-8 running but on
the pc side CF has no problem with that and even shuts down the CF-8
instance for you.

Problems with CF-9 install on a Mac

[Rick Mason]

I received the following error when trying to install CF-9 on my Mac laptop:

Installer: no 'sea_loc' in working dir, couldn't defined
$EXTRACTOR_EXECUTABLES$

During install I got a screen that asked me if I already had CF-9 installed
to which I truthfully said no.  I've done a number of pc installs and never
seen that screen before.  I googled the error message and found people had
that problem with CF-8 installs on the Mac and one Adobe engineer stated
that it would be fixed in CF-9.

Now I did have CF-8 installed but that hasn't been any problem with my pc
installs, the install program goes ahead and shuts it down.

I don't have a lot of experience on the Macintosh platform.  Anyone have any
advice?


Rick Mason


PS I have yet to upgrade to Snow Leopard if that has any bearing on the
problem.

Re: TechCrunch calls ColdFusion "outmoded technology"

[Rick Mason]

You may be correct.  But developers aren't the only ones reading TechCrunch,
bosses read it.  Something like that is all it takes to create self doubt
whether they're developing on the right platform.

I have seen plenty of companies spend big bucks because they were convinced
to move away from CF.  Lots of times the end result is worse than the CF
solution they left behind.  Sometimes their best developers leave as well
and it takes them years to recover.

I don't like seeing the business tech press getting this wrong.  I don't
know if he was told that by the mfg.com people or he just made the judgement
based on what he might have read in a trade journal.

Re: best uk coldfusion hosting?

[Rick Mason]

I only know him through the lists but Russ "Spike" Mitchell's company at
www.cfmxhosting.co.uk should be one that you consider.  I know they've been
in business for quite a while and seem to be held in pretty high regard on
Forta's host rating page.

8.01 version question concerning Firefox

[Rick Mason]

I'm having a problem with a cfwindow that captures some information and is
submitted, then closes the window,emails the information and then reloads
the underlying page not working in Firefox.  The page was working in CF 8.00
and works fine with IE in 8.01.  I've already tried stripping out anything
extra and broke it down to a simple form, but still can't get it working in
production using Firefox.

The development server on Windows running version 8,0,1,195765 which Adobe's
site says is the current version.  But production however is running version
8,0,1,196946 on Red Hat Linux.  The only references I could find on
Google was a blog comment that stated 8,0,1,196946 was the Japanese version
of 8.01 and people complaining that they were having problems with CFImage
on the enterprise version.  Note we're running CF standard in production.

Is there any significance to the difference in version numbers?  I am
suspecting that the problem may not be related to my code.  Anyone know the
difference between 8,0,1,195765 and 8,0,1,196946?  Is it possible to be
running CF standard with a 8,0,1,196946 version number?

Re: Simple regex question

[Rick Mason]

Azadi,

Figured that out while awaiting for the answer.  Reached John and Tim Farrar
via IM who suggested testing with smaller case letters.  Once we confirmed
that worked they gave me the update.  I will do further testing but that
looks like it is a winner.

Thanks all,

Re: Simple regex question

[Rick Mason]

Andy,

I jumped the gun a little too quickly.  Neither yours nor Ben's works.  Your
code worked fine when I was just typing in numbers for a quick test.

Once I started testing with actual VIN numbers it failed.  It isn't counting
the letters in the total count.  So 12345678901234567 succeeds but
1M345678901234567 fails.

Any suggestions?

Re: Simple regex question

[Rick Mason]

Thanks you Andy and Ben for your quick response.  A VIN number is a vehicle
identification number which is on your car's registration as well as being
on the driver side dash.

Think of it as a unique serial number for your car with vehicle information
baked into the number.

Andy the only problem that I had with your regex is that it let me enter
more than 17 characters.  I quickly added a maxlength which corrected the
problem.

There's a ISVIN function on CFLib and I had originally proposed to my boss
that I rewrite it in javascript but he didn't want that level of
functionality.

Simple regex question

[Rick Mason]

I'm in need of some regex help.  I am working with a cfinput and I need a
pattern for regex validation that does the following:

Field can be blank but if filled out has to be exactly 17 characters which
are a combination of letters and numbers (VIN number)

Know this is simple but Google seems to be failing me this morning.

Thanks,

Rick

Re: Java now available on Google App engine - how long til CFML?

[Rick Mason]

I think that it's interesting on several fronts.  Not everyone who wants to
show everyone else what they're working on can afford their own VPS.  Not to
mention the advantage to entrepreneurs to try out ideas without investing
anything but their time.

The advantage of never having to worry about scaling the database is worth
learning a new way of doing things.  I started out on flat file databases
(dbase,RBase) so for me it's coming full circle.

I suspect it will happen and it will be one of the open source distros.  Not

Re: Setting a wider CFWindow

[Rick Mason]

Azadi,

Decided it was easier to fit my form to the window than the other way
around;<).  What I am finding is that sometimes the CF Ajax features get you
95% of where you want to go.

You will spend more in time going that last 5% than it was to build it from
scratch in javascript in the first place!

Do want to thank you for trying to help me.

Re: Setting a wider CFWindow

[Rick Mason]

Azadi,

I was able to get the one cfwindow calling another.  But I can't set height
or width of the child window.  The child window is ignoring all my attempts
to set size.  Oddly it also seems to be maintaining the same aspect ratio as
the window underneath it.

In othe words in the first window the width is greater than the height and
with the child window I want the reverse.  Any ideas?

Azadi,

Appreciate the reply.  Something else is going on as I can call the same
window from another page with no problems.

Another quick question for you.  Is it possible to have one cfwindow call
another?  So far this afternoon I haven't been able to make that work and
wondered if that was because it couldn't be done ;<).

Setting a wider CFWindow

[Rick Mason]

I have the need for a nearly full screen CFWindow.  No matter what I do I
can't get it to be more than 60% of the screen in width.  Whether I set the
width to 1200 or 12000 in the tag the width is the same even with all my
code commented out in the window itself.

I've tried both a div and a table with set width as well as a hbox with no
change to the width of the displayed.  I'd appreciate anyone's help as this
one has me stumped.

Re: Using Coldfusion with Filemaker

[Rick Mason]

We use Filemaker 8 quite a bit. The production department at our paper uses
it for a number of things. Any data that we need for our website I grab out
of Filemaker using  and store it on our SQL Server db.
JDBC support is pretty good. I don't know how it will hold up in terms of
high load performance. We have generally not more than a handful of users
accessing the server at once. When we did use it for a conference
registration app last year we ran into some bottlenecks, though my IT guys
claim it was a network problem, not Filemaker.

I've pasted below the instructions I found sometime ago on how to set this
up so you can add Filemaker DSNs in the CF Admin.

Rick
-
In Filemaker
FMpro database needs to be open!
Enable ODBC/JDBC sharing in FMpro.
Create a Username/password for coldfusion in your database.
Install the JDBC drvier from the FM CD - run the .jar file from the CD,
it's an installer which will prompt for an install location, create and
choose ~/desktop/newfolder/
and when the installer is finished copy the contents of
~/desktop/newfolder/driver/lib/ (sljc.jar and sljcne.rar) to your CF7 /lib/
folder


In Coldfusion:
create a data source using 'other' as the driver type.
JDBC URL= 'jdbc:sequelink://127.0.0.1:2399;serverdatasource=test'
Driver class= com.ddtek.jdbc.sequelink.SequeLinkDriver
Driver name= whatever you want, 'FM Pro' or something
User Name= the user you created earlier in your FM database
Password= the pass for the FM user you made.

Submit, and then verify - you should get a lovely understated little 'OK' in
status

Re: Developers Rank Best Application Servers: Cold Fusion, Apache Geronimo Top List

[Rick Mason]

Gerald,

I do wonder if their editorial staffs talk to each other?  One publication
says it is the single best choice for an application server.  The other
publication says it is dead. Is that it in a nutshell?

I guess it's true what they say about the press, they're either building

Re: KInda OT - FF3 and flash forms

[Rick Mason]

Will,

I got back from CFUnited and found out that everyone who downloaded FF3 at
our company was having problems with our Flash Forms.

All I could find was a post on Mike Chambers blog that referenced a problem
with FF3 and Flash which had been fixed.  But he only referenced a mac url
for the fix and we're on Windows.

The key thing was that everyone having a problem downloaded FF3 on the big
download day.  I downloaded it yesterday and didn't experience a problem.

Their version of FF3 didn't indicate that an update was available.  However
removing Firefox 3 and completely reinstalling fixed the problem here.

.Net integration services on Linux install question

 One of our team is trying to get the .NET Integration Services working on
our production server which is running Red Hat Linux.  They can't seem to

The assembly that contains the class must be provided to the assembly
attribute.

Is there anyone that you know that has successfully integrated .NET with CF
on a Linux machine?

Re: Using CFWindow getting the parent page to refresh

[Rick Mason]

Don,

OK.  On the home page of a portal users click on an icon and launch a report
in a separate browser instance.  At the top of the report there's a link
that launches a cfwindow that allows them to filter the report and select
how they want it sorted.  Their choices are saved to the database when the
form submits so they don't need to make the setting each time they launch
the report.

After saving their selections to the database I hide the window and refresh
the report.  However although the page does refresh it brings up the
original version, not the one reflecting the filter or sort changes they
just saved.

Here's the function that runs when the form is submitted:


function submitmyform() {

ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm('cfformid', 'myreport.cfm'

);

ColdFusion.Window.hide('cfwindowname');

location.reload();

Using CFWindow getting the parent page to refresh

[Rick Mason]

I have a report that when called pops up a separate instance of the

cfform that lets you change filters and sort order on the report.

In the past I have successfully used location.refresh() to refresh the page
reflecting the changes made but it's not working correctly.  Oh it refreshes
the report page after the form gets submitted but it's giving me the old
version of the page.  I've tried using meta tags so that it doesn't cache
the page, but they seem to have no affect.

Can anyone help me out?

Help with CF-8 db connection string for MySQL 5

[Rick Mason]

Having a few problems migrating to CF-8 and MySQL 5 on Red Hat.  We have
always used a connection string in CF that allowed dates like 00-00- to
be treated as nulls.  Found out that we needed a second connection string to
enable some of the features of stored procedures but haven't been able to
find a syntax that works to concatenate the two strings on Linux.  Either
one works separately, just not together.

Someone has suggested just turning strict mode off altogether which does
both those things and more.  But I am wary of creating other problems
because I don't know what else it adds much less the syntax for doing so.

Re: ColdFusion: Some People Just Don't Know Any Better

[Rick Mason]

I think sometimes we sulk off to places like here and complain when someone
says "CF is dead."

I used to think it wasn't dignified to duke it out with some of the
fanboys.  But I have changed my mind.  So now I have made it a point to
challenge these guys sometimes.

I took the time to learn Rails a while back.  Why is it I am knowledgeable
about their language but they can criticize mine without knowing it?  Tell
these guys to download and spend a weekend with the developer edition of
CF-8 and then come back and tell me I am all wet when I say CF defines RAD.

Paul Graham says we should all learn a language a year.  Lets make this the
year we tell our critics to master Coldfusion  or stop criticizing it!

Re: Email Verification Tool

[Rick Mason]

There is a way to communicate with the mail server's MX record and ask if
they accept email for that particular address.  A member of my CFUG who
sends out mailings of 80,000 plus wrote some code to do that.

He runs the script the day before and then only emails those whom are
valid.  He also actually processes the majority of the bounce messages
automatically.

I believe there's a custom tag out there as well but I couldn't locate it in
a quick search.  There are even web services that for a fee will do the work
for you.

Re: Dynamic cfinvoke

[Rick Mason]

Kevan,

That's actually a really good idea.  What I did was convert everything over
to session variables and I was able to get everything to work.  I do think
session variables are inherently more secure so that's a benefit as well.

But what you have suggested is something I might consider if I have some
time left at the end of the project.

Thanks,

Rick Mason

Dynamic cfinvoke

[Rick Mason]

I am trying to write a controller for a project I am working on.  I want to
pass it everything that it needs from the form page as hidden variables.

But I am not having much success in getting cfinvoke to work dynamically.  I
believe the correct way to do this is by using cfargumentcollection.  I am
able to cfdump a structure called args showing the field name and form
value.  The only two variables that make it to the CFC are a session
variable and a table ID, but none of the form variables.

Here's how I am calling it:




Any ideas?

Re: Run PHP code inline on a Coldfusion page

[Rick Mason]

Kevin,

Here's a couple of ideas that come to mind:

A.  You're a hosting company and it's a lot simpler to all of sudden be
offering PHP and Ruby hosting without having to install the extra bits on
the server.  You have less maintenance and your clients programs run a bit
faster than most other hosts.

B.  You're a corporate site with some PHP apps (or there's one you would
like to use), again much simpler with fewer chance of complication.

C. You're a corporate site with a mixture of CF and PHP and the VP wants to
move everything to one environment ( PHP) and rewrite the CF apps.  You can
suddenly make a pretty good case for staying the course and running
everything through CF-8.

I am not saying integration isn't important too but I think Sean's onto
something that could be much larger than you think.

Russ,
 Our advanced version of Instant News does exactly that. You can search 
either an individual industry such as telecommunications or search across 62 
different ones. You can save the searches (we call them triggers) and even 
have them emailed to you anytime there's something new.

Re: SOT: Blackberry 101 for developers

[Rick Mason]

Ray,
 I have a friend who has done some Blackberry apps using
WML. I've seen some of his apps that use forms to submit info to a CF 
backend. If I am not mistaken Ben Forta even has a book out on WML.
 The other alternative on the newer Blackberries is Java.

 Did you try the second URL I posted?
 
www.coldfusion.org/downloads/Merging_CF_With_Adobe_pdf1.ppt<http://www.coldfusion.org/downloads/Merging_CF_With_Adobe_pdf1.ppt>
 Left off the "1" when I typed it the first time. It works on this end OK. 
Or you can just go to
www.coldfusion.org/downloads<http://www.coldfusion.org/downloads>and
find it on the page. It's by far the easiest choice to implement
without
going to CF-7.

Re: SOT: Books

[Rick Mason]

Chris,
 I usually recommend new people who want to learn ColdFusion read Kevin 
Schmidt's book, CF MX - Training from the source first. 
 It doesn't try to be comprehensive and just concentrates on the basics.
 Then have them read Ben Forta's web application construction kit. I think 
non-programmers get more out of Forta's book if they have a short primer 
first.

Re: MXNA Screensaver

Connie,
 By any chance is the application called Tattletale? FWIW, I heard on 
another list that it would be updated.

Re: CFMX: Dissed by Breeze and FlashLite?

[Rick Mason]

Dave (the disruptor),
 Today a student writes a program on his own machine and then when he's done 
uploads it to the class server. So with the free development edition the 
students are covered. The students are then jjudged on how their program 
runs on the class server and their project can be accessed by all members of 
the class.
 The question is how does Adobe/Macromedia give away a free copy of an 
unrestricted version of CF for the class server without hurting business 
sales at the college?
 That's the first challenge and the next one is how do you get college 
departments to change? Right now I believe Macromedia educational sales reps 
handle it. I think you need an educational evangelist whose sole focus is 
based on how many schools add CF to the curriculum.
 I think that with Adobe taking over it's time to take a fresh look at 
promoting CF in the colleges.

Re: CFMX: Dissed by Breeze and FlashLite?

[Rick Mason]

Calvin,
 In a word yes. I think ColdFusion offers a better introduction to 
programming than PHP.
 Even Adobe can't go toe to toe with Microsoft in marketing CF to 
corporations. Macromedia always said that CF was a "bottom up" product.
 Well I can't think of a better way to get CF in the back door of 
corporations than to introduce it to thousands of college students. I refuse 
to believe that it will cripple them from going on to learn OOP and advanced 
languages.

Re: CFMX: Dissed by Breeze and FlashLite?

[Rick Mason]

Micha,
 With all due respect I wasn't advocating if you read my message that they 
only learn CFML.
 Most of the university students in Michigan leave knowing several 
languages, of course they should know c# and java if they're to become 
employable.
 I remain unconvinced that learning CF first is going to somehow handicap 
them in learning advanced languages. In fact I think it's just the opposite, 
the quick productivity building useful stuff is likely to inspire them as 
they learn advanced subjects.
 A great many programmers of my generation first tackled the basic that IBM 
shipped on the first PC XT's. Somehow using things like GoTo's didn't 
prevent me from going on to learn other languages with more advanced 
concepts.
 I still remain convinced that CF would be a great first language in 
colleges and with a little effort it could be dominant in that role.

Re: CFMX: Dissed by Breeze and FlashLite?

[Rick Mason]

Dave,
 *I hope one of the things Adobe does with cfm is to license its use in 
schools and such for free and use its deep photoshop roots to entrench it in 
a lot of these "designer" programs.
*
That's one of the things that I have campaigned on for the longest time. All 
the Michigan colleges and universities use CF for the business side. But 
only one uses it on the teaching side.
 The first language a lot of these kids learn is PHP, I think all will agree 
that CFML is a much better choice. Guess what the marketing budget for this 
favored position might be? How about zero, so even a slight effort could 
displace it.
 These students may learn C# or java later but they will end up doing their 
personal sites with CF. What do you want to bet that when they end up out in 
the world and want a chance to shine under a tight deadline and/or budget 
they will remember CF?
 I continue to believe it's a great opportunity that's being missed.

Re: Forms Generation

[Rick Mason]

Isaac,
 Actually I have a buddy who works everyday on a large extranet that was 
built using SmartObjects. So I am familiar with it.
 I thought it had disappeared completely, but he tells me that it's now a 
project on Sourceforge. But I just checked and it's now in the process of 
moving to smart-objects.com <http://smart-objects.com>.
 Lot of people ask me about our groups URL. Don Bellamy from SiteObjects 
grabbed it back in 1995! Back when ColdFusion shipped on a floppy disk! He 
hosts our site which has just undergone a complete makeover.

 Slight correction, the SO_XML tag was by SiteObjects not SmartObjects.

Re: MetaData Tags

[Rick Mason]

Bryan,
 You're talking about the semantic web which is Tim Berners Lee's plan for 
web 2.0.
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web
 The theory is that humans can tag web pages better than search engines. 
Sometimes there are words that aren't in the text of the page that can be 
used to describe the page more accurately and enable some really detailed 
searches.
 Lets say I used "rdf" tags on my home page to say that I'm the founder of a 
software company and also an alumnus of Michigan State University. So then I 
could do a search for software companies run by alumni of Michigan State.
 You should also check out /http://del.icio.us/
<http://http://del.icio.us/>which allows you to subscribe to an RSS
feed of someone else's bookmarks for
example.

Re: OT - Who is coming to Powered by Detroit this weekend?

[Rick Mason]

John,

I think that having the conference on the weekend actually makes more
sense when you stop to think about it.

With training budgets being slashed to the bone a lot of developers
won't get work to pay for the conference.

If it's on the weekend you can decide to go on your own and you don't

OT - Who is coming to Powered by Detroit this weekend?

[Rick Mason]

I was wondering who will be attending the Powered by Detroit
conference this weekend?

I look forward to meeting as many people on this list as I can.

Re: ooa, ood, oop and design patterns

[Rick Mason]

Scott,

Everyone points you to CFCDev for CF OOP and it is an interesting
list.  I subscribed for a while before they dropped digest mode.

But CFCDev is high on OOP theory with great debates of different
theoretical approaches.  What might be nice is a list aimed at
practical implementation as opposed to theory.  A list targetted for
those who want to be in the mainstream of CF OOP, not the bleeding
edge.

I am not knocking CFCDev, there's room for both actually.

Re: Ajax

[Rick Mason]

Sean,

Don't you think with the interest in Ajax shown on the list this week
that those simpler API's are but mere months away?

Most developers aren't trying to build another Google maps, they just
want to build better forms and navigation.

Re: Ajax

[Rick Mason]

Isaac,

Actually I have used Dan's client server JSAPI for quite some time. 
I've found it much more stable and easier to implement than
alternatives like the two selects related tag.  I know he was planning
a version 2.0 of QForms and I believe the JSAPI, but so far it hasn't
been released.

Our whole CFUG adapted QForms after Dan spoke to our group two years
ago.  Not many speakers would drive from Columbus to East Lansing and
return the same night to speak about an open source product but we
were glad that he did.

Re: Ajax

Rob,

I think what you're doing would be defined as Ajax - the term is
fairly new.  Definitely interested in the offer of demos.

Also the link posted was to the docs, was there a link to the code on
that site that I missed?

Re: Ajax

[Rick Mason]

Michael,

I think the idea of a new list on Ajax is a good one.  I've become
quite interested in it lately, especially after seeing what people are
doing with Google maps.

http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/gems/gmap2_flash.html

I've seen quite a few mentions of Neuromancer.  Is Neuromancer open
source?  I don't see it on CFOpen and unfortunately the link you
provided doesn't work.  Is there an alternative place it can be
downloaded?

I'd like to experiment with CF and Ajax but don't want to reinvent the
wheel if an API for CF'ers has already been written.

Don,

The reports are stored in an XML file which was encrypted for your

Re: Application.cfc - why? what's it for?

[Rick Mason]

Jim,

Thanks that is definitely something to try on my next project. 
Actually that check session code today is in a header file that's
cfincluded into every page by default.  So it's only ever in one place
anyway, but I get the idea.

I've also thought of the idea of having code that runs at the end of
every page by default.  You could build a table of who is logged in. 
Course you would have to remove people that haven't selected a page in
say twenty minutes or so.

Re: Application.cfc - why? what's it for?

[Rick Mason]

Jim,

So lets say I have code at the top of every page in my application
that checks for the existence of certain session variables and if it
doesn't find them redirects the user to a login page.

You're saying that I could define this once in application.cfc and set
the behavior for the entire application?  Tthis could be a huge
timesaver for me in building portals.

Re: Is breeze worth it?

[Rick Mason]

Damien,

I know that Michigan State is using it.  I've spoken with some of the
developers there and it has become quite popular.  I think they're
even going to offer classes via Breeze in the future.

You can also rent Breeze by the hour.  If you're finding it valuable
and your monthly bill exceeds what it would cost to buy it then IMHO
the purchase decision becomes easier.

Re: How to Browse and Choose Directory...

[Rick Mason]

Rick,

Here's another alternative that I just learned about.  Apparently
Google has just updated their free image editor Picassa and it now
lets you email your photos to a Google mail account.  I don't have the
software but it says that it lets you edit photos and will
automatically resize them as well.

http://www.google.com/gmail/help/whatsnew.html

Just have the gMail account forward it to a pop3 account and grab the
photos that way.  I am going to investigate this for future use in a
project myself.  Let me know if you choose this solution and how it
works for you.

Re: How to Browse and Choose Directory...

Rick,

Ran into the exact same problem you have a couple of years ago.  Get
your client a copy of webdrive:

 http://www.southrivertech.com/index.php?pg=./products/webdrive/index

Seem to remember that it was around $40 and tech support was great. 
It maps a drive letter to the FTP directory that you specify.  You
might even be able to use a gateway if you're running CF-7 to watch
that directory and immediately process files uploaded there.
