I'd say you're pretty accurate in your guess.  I don't have it and
don't want it either.  For me it's as much a matter of principle as
anything.  I got where I am today by figuring it out on my own (as I
think most CFers have) and to me that's worth WAY more than somebody
who sat in a classroom and had it fed to them.

I had an interview last week and left feeling like a complete idiot
because I didn't have the vocabulary they were apparently looking for.

I've tried using the result.identitycol trick with CF8 and MSSQL and for 
me, it doesn't work.  I just get an error.

So what I've stuck to is this...

Before the first insert, I do 

Then in the insert, for my date_added value, I use #now#.

Then after that, when I do my select MAX(id), I also add where 
date_added = '#now#'

AND I also wrap the whole thing in a cftransaction...

Ajax Problem: Callback isn't happening.

2008-04-10 Thread RobG
I'm hoping somebody has seen this problem before...

I'm using cfajaxproxy to proxy to my CFC... that works fine.

My local javascript creates the instance of the proxy, then sets the
callback hander, and then calls the CFC in the function.  This all
works great, and up until sometime last night, was working great too.

Now this morning, the CFC gets called just fine, does its thing just
fine, and I can see in Firebug that the result is coming back just
fine too.  But for whatever reason, my callback function is NOT being
called.

So in the example below, the "whateverSuccess" function never gets
called.  I stuck an alert in it to see, and it never appears.  I moved
the alert to the bottom of the example function below, and it showed
up fine.  And like I said, I can see in Firebug that the call takes
place, and returns a proper result.

function do_whatever(value)
{
var instance = new whatever_proxy();
instance.setCallbackHandler(whateverSuccess);
instance.cfcFunction(value);
}

So I'm confused... I've visually looked over my block of JS code to
see if anything in it could be causing a problem and Id on't see
anything.  Aptana's JS validator isn't reporting any problems either.

Any ideas?

An exception occurred while trying to read the image. File

It would say that for almost any filename... I never could find a

I don't have the exception info for why it was dying when there were
lots of files to process; I've rolled back to 8.0 so I can't rerun to
get it again.

Hey Hermant... any word on the YUI-related issue I found too?  My main

BIG problems with 8.0.1 update

2008-04-09 Thread RobG
Me again. :)

I've had to uninstall CF on three machines and reinstall to get back to 
the pre-8.0.1 version (with just the pre-existing hotfixes installed). 
This new update broke a LOT of stuff, and I'm wondering if anybody else 
has noticed yet.

First, there was the YUI-related issue that I posted about yesterday. 
That was pretty minor.

Next, I was working on a script that I've been dinking with for about a 
month, that goes through a big directory of image files and checks their 
pixel size and filesize, and alters them accordingly to save space.

The first problem I noticed after doing the update was that if there 
were more than about 70 files in the directory, JRUN would exit with a 
strange error (I don't recall the specific one).  It had worked just 
fine prior to this (there are some 20,000 files in the directory I'm 
testing on).

So I made a directory with fifty files and continued fine-tuning things. 
  This is when I noticed the next problem.  Half of the files (roughly) 
were coming up "not found" by the CFImage tag, despite definitely existing.

I experimented... was it the ones with spaces in their names?  Nope. 
Was it the ones that were uppercase?  Nope.  Lowercase?   Nope.  I could 
find no rhyme or reason as to why this was happening.

It also happened on another site that I run (on another server, which 
also had the update) -- a message forum that I wrote.  People who were 
uploading photos to their profiles were suddenly unable to do so.  I saw 
lots of errors thrown due to "file not found" when the file clearly was 
there.

Finally I figured the best move was to roll back to pre-8.0.1.  So I 
uninstalled/reinstalled since Adobe didn't give us an Uninstall option. 
  Since that time, everything has gone back to normal and is working 
just fine.

Oh, I did go through the release notes very carefully to see if there 
was anything mentioned that might tell why these problems started, but 
there was nothing.

So as of right now I'm advising everybody I know to NOT apply the 8.0.1 
update.

Rob

Okay, I may have a workaround for this... I downloaded the latest YUI
and replaced the cfide/scripts/ajax/yui/calendar folder with the one

for now.  I have no idea what else it may have messed up, but for the
moment, I'm happy.

CF 8.01 Updated, now: YAHOO.lang.augmentProto is not a function

2008-04-08 Thread RobG
I updated to CF 8.01 yesterday, and now I get this error in Firebug
when using CFMenu:

YAHOO.lang.augmentProto is not a function

In addition, the background color of the menu item I hover over turns
white instead of the color I specified (the background right around
the characters turn the right color though).  It looks like something
got very messed up.

This is happening on three systems... one has XP Pro, one has Vista,
and one is my live server on Server 2003, and is happening on two
different applications that use CFMenu.

Anybody else see this problem?  Any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks!

Passing BIND values in CFGRID

2008-03-20 Thread RobG
I have a cfc that I wrote, with two methods.  The first method creates
a CFGRID, and the second method is called by the BIND attirbute in the
CFGRID to retrieve its data.

What I'm trying to do, basically, is pass a tablename and have a
generic CGRID appear that displays all of the columns in the table.
If the method I call from within the cfgrid's bind attribute is
specific to the table, it works fine.  But when I try to pass a
tablename and call a more generic method, it isn't working.  Here's
the code:



When I call the table-specific method, I don't pass {tablename} and
things work fine.  But then I added {tablename}, and in the getData
method, the value is coming through as NULL.  I tried changing it to
{#tablename#} and it still comes through as NULL, but the variable
becomes the name of the table instead of just "tablename"

So... what am I doing wrong?  How do I take a regular variable,
"tablename" in this case, and pass it through the BIND expression into
the cfc?  Is it possible?

Thanks!

Thanks guys for the response.  Here's what I've learned...

I did a dump of Arguments and my value is still zero in there. 
Definitely no misspelling or case issues (it's all lowercase).

I watched the requests in Firebug and the value IS showing up.  In fact, 
get this... this is happening in two different CFCs.  In one, I pass in 
a userid value (checking for private messages -- this is a forum package 
I wrote).  Since I couldn't get it working, I cheated and just accessed 
cookie.userid.  That got that one at least usable, if not ideally.

Now on this next one, I'm passing in threadid, but I have no other way 
to get it in.  I tried setting request.threadid just before the call, 
but that didn't seem to work.

So anwyay, back to Firebug.  Here's what I see under the Console tab, 
Params sub-tab:

argumentCollection {"threadid":44841}

Likewise, in the previous one that handles PMs, I look in there and I 
see the proper userid too.  But for whatever reason, the CFC is 
completely blind to it.

CFAJAX: Can't pass parameter.

2008-02-05 Thread RobG
Okay, I'm stuck.  I fixed my previous problem (JSON-related), and now
that I've moved onto writing some of my own code, I've hit a snag
where I cannot seem to get a value passed via AJAX.

Basically, I'm trying to pass a number into my ajax CFC to be acted
on.  I've looked at browser source code to verify that the value is in
the JS function that gets clicked on... I've added an Alert to the JS
function just prior to calling the ajax instance and it's good there
too.

I've used CFLOG just inside the CFC to see what arguments.the_value
is, and it's always zero.  I have the cfargument set to receive
type=numeric and required=true.  I've been using the tutorial at
LearnCF.com as my guide, since their tutorial runs perfectly,
including the part that passes the string that gets reversed.

So I'm stumped.  I even used Firebug and saw that the parameter was in
fact passed.  But the CFC seems to be losing it somehow.

Any ideas?  Thanks!

Re: CFAjax Problem (parseJSON)

2008-01-30 Thread RobG
I did some more investigating and got it to work... though I don't 
understand why.

Basically, I had to comment out all JavaScript on the site... not that 
there was much.  I had this:



if (self.parent.frames.length != 0)
 self.parent.location="#baseurl#";



in my Application.cfm file.  It kept puking until I removed it, then 
it started working again.

I also tried turning back on an earlier experiment where I had written 
my own little test cfc and modified proxy.cfm's javascript to work with 
my own test.  I was setting up that cfajaxproxy in my Application.cfm 
too.  With it in place, the proxy.cfm wouldn't work.

So my two newest questions are this:

1. What is it about the script, above, that is breaking the ajax stuff?

2. Why does it seem that two ajax proxies cannot coexist?  Is this 
normal or is something else wrong?

I dunno if I'd call my experience with it "delightful" but given the 
short time I had with it, it seemed pretty decent.

I thought about venting about it on the Farcry list, but figured I would 
be booted in no time for not being a member of the choir.  Not wanting 
to burn bridges, I chose not to.

As for venting here without being asked, I thought this was a list that 
encouraged all kinds of discussion about CF and related applications. 
I'm not openly bashing FarCry.  I do dislike it for many reasons, but I 
will refrain from making slanderous remarks about it.

I will make two comments about it here and leave it at that for now...

1. It's VERY slow.  Even on very fast hardware, it's extremely slow.

2. If it had even half the documentation that Commonspot had, I would 
probably still be using it.  The new developer guide that was put out 
fell very short of being useful, and the Wiki is hard to find help in as 
well.  In addition, even posting to the -Dev list was fairly futile.

I finally abandoned FarCry for Joomla.  Granted it's php-based, but it's 
extremely fast and so far seems much easier to work with.  The back-end 
alone is worth its weight in gold.  It's lightyears ahead of FarCry.  Oh 
wait, that makes it three things, sorry. :)

I had started to work with it for a contract that ended up only lasting 
a week due to poor communication.  I spent a great deal of time reading 
up on the various developer guides.

It looks like it's pretty easy to develop for... it's a million times 
better than FarCry (don't EVEN get me started on that thing, and yeah I 
know a lot of people like it).

The thing I didn't like about it was that they encrypt all the files so 
you can't really see or modify it.  There might be an option to get an 
unencrypted version, but I don't really know, I never explored it.

Re: CFAjax Problem (parseJSON)

2008-01-30 Thread RobG
Okay, if I did it right, here's what I see...

On my local system (which works), the Response tab simply contains the 
Server Time that is sent back.

On my live server (Windows) that isn't working right and returning that 
weird error message, I get this:

===

_cf_loadingtexthtml="<div 
align='center'><img src='/CFIDE/scripts/ajax
/resources/cf/images/loading.gif'/>";
_cf_contextpath="";
_cf_ajaxscriptsrc="/CFIDE/scripts/ajax";
_cf_jsonprefix='//';
_cf_clientid='470E9572A0679FB1D701E5C9930C7ACB';


ColdFusion.Ajax.importTag('CFAJAXPROXY');


var _cf_pm=ColdFusion.AjaxProxy.init('/ajax/pm.cfc','pm_proxy');
_cf_pm.prototype.pmCount=function(userid) { return 
ColdFusion.AjaxProxy.invoke(this, "pmCount", {userid
:userid});};


if (self.parent.frames.length != 0)
 self.parent.location="<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sierrasledders.com"">http://www.sierrasledders.com"</a>;;


function pmCount(userid) {
var userid = userid;
var instance = new pm_proxy();
instance.setCallbackHandler(pmCountSuccess);
instance.pmCount(userid);
}
function pmCountSuccess(result) {
document.getElementById('pm_count').innerHTML = result;
}

"30 Jan 2008 - 07:45:47"

===

Which is interesting because it does seem to be returing the server 
time, but all that mess ahead of it too.  Weird.

Hi Ray!

I just installed firebug, but I don't quite understand what I'm looking 
for.  I found the "XHR" section under the "Net" tab, but it doesn't 
really select.  I see lots of outputs but I don't really know what to

CFAjax Problem (parseJSON)

2008-01-29 Thread RobG
I was over at learncf.com and am trying to run their CFAjax tutorial on 
one of my servers.  When I click on either of the buttons, such as 
Server Time, I get this error:

Error: [Exception... "'SyntaxError: parseJSON' when calling method: 
[nsIOnReadyStateChangeHandler::handleEvent]"  nsresult: "0x8057001c 
(NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_JS_OBJECT)"  location: ""  data: no]

Googling hasn't gotten me anything useful, unfortunately.  The box in 
question is Windows Server 2003 fully updated, CF8, MSSQL2005.

At home, I have two development systems, one Windows and one Linux.

On the Linux system (Fedora Core 7), it runs perfectly.

On the Windows system (Vista), it would probably run if I could figure 
out how to overcome the "ColdFusion not defined" error, which I overcame 
on the Linux box by symlinking the CFIDE directory to the dir where 
proxy.cfm and proxy.cfc were located.  The CF server already has a 
mapping for CFIDE, and I can't figure out how to specify a new one in 
Apache, though my attempts so far have only managed to break the CF 
Administrator. :)

So there's something weird on my "live" Windows box, but I sure can't 
figure out what.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Rob

I have it.  It's barely passable as documentation.  It's what I was 
referring to when I said very little documentation was available.  Every 
time I have a technical question, I have to post it to one of the Farcry 
lists, and nine times out of ten, IF it gets answered, it's answered by 
Geoff or one of 2-3 of the truly technical people there.

Here's why I call it buggy... first, it lets you do things you shouldn't 
be able to do -- e.g. delete the entire site tree in the Admin area.  If 
you do this, then attempt to view the site, it throws an error.  There 
are a lot of places where errors get thrown after the user does 
something they shouldn't do.  All of this should be trapped, and a lot 
of the stuff it's letting you do shouldn't be allowed.

I think the learning curve is very steep, and it's made worse by a lack 
of real documentation.  Granted the thing IS free, and I'll admit it's 
pretty powerful.  But at this point, the shortcomings are outweighing 
it's strengths.

CF-based CMS?

2007-12-26 Thread RobG
Hi... I'm wondering if somebody has a list of ColdFusion-based content 
management systems.  I need one (free preferably) for a client that 
needs a CMS-based website.

I've been using Farcry for a few months, and frankly, I'm fed up with 
it.  I would rather write my own from scratch than continue to use that 
piece of festering crap.  There is little to no documentation available, 
it is incredibly poorly written and buggy, it is SLOW, and it is 
confusing even for a 10+ year CF veteran such as myself.  My client is 
mystified by it and has refused to use it.

So.. are there any others out there?  I would hate to switch them to php 
or something else...

Thanks!

Rob

CFDocument: 3x2 document but only uses 3/4 of it

2007-06-19 Thread RobG
That was difficult making a semi-legible subject line!

Okay, so I'm using CFDocument to create a PDF document that will 
basically be a series of labels being sent to a label printer.  Due to 
CFDocument's limitation of 2x2 (inches), we're using labels measuring 
3x2 inches.

The problem I'm running into is the label I'm creating with HTML, no 
matter what I do, never takes up more than about 2.5" of the width and 
1.65" (approx) of the height.

I've tried specifying the table width in percent (100%) and also pixels. 
  I've found that it works up to about 600 pixels, but after that, it 
simply goes no farther.

Vertically, if I go too far, it pushes the bottom off to the next page, 
yet still leaves a big blank space at the bottom.

This is my CFDocument code:


#the_table#


The variable #the_table# is created using cfsavecontent.

Has anybody had this problem before?

Thanks!

Rob

CF and Zebra 2844 Label Printers

2007-05-18 Thread RobG
I have a client who has an app that needs to print to one of these 
little printers.  They're most commonly used for printing the big 4x6 
UPS labels, but in this case, they're using a 1x3 label.

I'm able to print to it thanks to the drivers (on Windows only, of 
course), but the problem I'm running into is being able to control page 
breaks and stuff.

I wanted to use CFDocument, but it won't let me make a document small 
enough -- it wants a minimum height of 2 inches.  So now I'm working on 
the CF Report Builder.  It let me create a 1x3 template, but it 
complains when I try to use it, saying the data doesn't fit on the 
label.  I'm a newbie to this report builder app so I'm unsure if there's 
a way to shrink things down to fit.

If anybody wants to see the cfr file, you can get it here:

http://www.atvowners.com/rob/label.cfr

Anybody know of a way to do this?

Thanks!

No frameworks... that's the #1 reason I dislike frameworks, makes bug

But I tend to agree that it may be an Apache connector problem.  I may

Strange CF Problem on Fedora Linux

2007-04-24 Thread RobG
I know that ColdFusion isn't supported on Fedora Linux, but with help 
from some of the various blogs, I was able to get it installed and 
working on FC6.  I've been using it as a development environment for the 
past couple of months, and it's worked very nicely.  This is CFMX7.02 
I'm talking about, and it's running on Apache 2.2.3.

As of the last week or so, a very odd problem has surfaced.  Most of the 
time (but not all the time) when a page I'm working on throws an error, 
the end result is a completely blank screen in the browser.  No debug 
output, no error text, NOTHING.

I haven't yet come up with any pattern, but it does do it on all of the 
"sites" that I'm developing on this particular machine.  I have Apache 
setup to allow multihoming and point everything at 127.0.0.1 via my 
hosts file, e.g. "www.site1.com" and so on.

Has anybody seen anything like this?

Bad DSN causing CF to crash

2007-03-22 Thread RobG
I ran into this problem yesterday and wanted to post about it to see if 
anybody has ever experienced it.

Client running CFMX7.02 on Windows Server 2003 SP1 with all updates. 
Connecting to MSSQL2000 database on separate shared db server.

App is nothing particularly fancy, CF5-compliant with a couple of 
MX-specific uses of CFFORM and a couple of CFCs.

For the last week or so, we've been getting progressively increasing 
numbers of errors saying "connection reset" when trying to make db 
calls.  I posted about it here and got one response indicating a problem 
with drivers back on MX6.1.

We decided to relocate the db to MSSQL2005 on the webserver and off of 
the shared environment, because the ISP was unwilling to try to fix the 
problem since it wasn't consistent.

Yesterday, prior to moving the db (it was tentatively scheduled for last 
night), the db stopped responding.  Or rather, what appeared to be the 
case was CF up and died.  It would time and end conclude with a JRun 
Closed Connection error.

Thinking that CF was hosed, I uninstalled it, rebooted, and reinstalled 
CF.  We ended up doing this twice.  Nothing worked.  Get it back up, 
recreate the DSN to the shared server, and CF was dead again within a 
minute or two.

Finally, I had an idea... I restarted the CF service and killed the DSN. 
  I recreated it pointing to a copy of the database running on an 
entirely different server on my own personal network.  Now the site ran 
just fine.  So I started suspecting the shared db server.

To test my theory, I copied the site's code to our development server at 
another ISP (this time a Linux box), and pointed it to the shared db 
server.  CF immediately went down.  Once more... I did the same thing on 
my home development machine.  CF once again died.

So I contacted the ISP and rather than try to explain this to them, I 
just asked that a backup copy of the db be put on the webserver, which 
they managed to do within an hour (wow!).  I imported it into the local 
MSSQL2005 and setup the DSN... bingo!  Everything was running again.

What's odd is that you can talk to the shared db server using MS SQL 
Management Studio, with RDS, or even with SQL Explorer under Eclipse 
just fine.  But try to get the CF application server to talk to it means 
certain death.

I can't explain it, but everybody is relieved that things are good 
again.  And we're avoiding that shared db server like the plague.

"Connection Reset" errors on site

2007-03-16 Thread RobG
I've started seeing these errors today when a site I'm working on
tries to make a connection to the database:

Error Executing Database Query. [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]A
problem occurred when attempting to contact the server (Server
returned: Connection reset). Please ensure that the server parameters
passed to the driver are correct and that the server is running. Also
ensure that the maximum number of connections have not been exceeded
for this server.

This is on CFMX7.02 talking to MSSQL 2000, no J2EE or anything.

Any ideas how to correct this?  A reboot solves the problem for short
time but it keeps coming back.

I did a Google on it and couldn't come up with anything useful.

Thanks!

RDS, all of the files show up as read-only.  I'm wondering what user or 
group has to own the files to be edited in or order for it to work?

Thanks!

Rob

I've often wondered this myself for the same reason... I have a number 
of hobby-related sites that are quite popular, and I would hate to see 
them disappear if I did.  That plus my regular clients too.  I'd be 
curious to hear what others may have done.

I would just do a fresh Eclipse install in another directory.  Unzip the 
distribution, then the first plugin you should drop in is the new RDS... 
then go add CFEclipse 1.3.  Or you might try it the other way around 
(CFEclipse then RDS).  I've found sometimse the order in which you 
install plug-ins makes a difference.

Also... do NOT install the Eclipse 3.2.1 patches found when "Searching 
for updates to installed features" because it will make CFEclipse 
disappear.  I just had to roll back to a previous Eclipse 3.2.1 install 
because of that.  Fortunately I always backup my Eclipse dir before 
adding new plug-ins just in case.

BTW, I did find a problem that may or may not be related to anything... 
I couldn't get Line Numbers to display no matter what.  The box was 
checked in Editors under General and Editors under CFEclipse, but they 
wouldn't appear at all.  So now I'm back on v3.1.2 until I have time to 
deal with it again.

I'd like to know the answer to this too, as I've been using switch/case 
statements a lot and have had no trouble with them.

Oddly enough, one guy I worked for last year who thought he was a whole 
lot better than he was, insisted that cfif's were faster than 
cfswitch/case and insisted I do it his way.  Fortunately I don't work 
for this guy anymore. :)

Re: RDS not working in Eclipse was: Re: CFEclipse / Eclipse question

2007-01-28 Thread RobG
I was unaware that you could get RDS to work on Eclipse 3.2 except on 
OSX (as Ray mentioned in his Blog).  I just tried it again tonight, 
using the RDS plug-in that came with CF-Extras and the file version 
(what I want) didn't work... once you try to load a file, it just goes 
"an error has occurred" and nothing loads.

Is the version in Flex2 even more current?  I'd LOVE to have fully 
functional RDS in Eclipse 3.2...

Newbie CFC Question (Application.cfc)

2007-01-28 Thread RobG
I'm just now getting into CFCs (a bit late, but better than never)... I 
just wrote my first one, a UPS Shipping/Cancellation one to add to Ray 
Camden's UPS CFC package.

Anyway, now that I've done that, I want to migrate my Application.cfm to 
an Application.cfc.  I've read up on everything I can find, and I'm 
still foggy on one thing.

Basically, I param a lot of variables in my Application.cfm... or cfset, 
depending on the need.  That's in addition to some queries that'll go 
nicely into functions in the CFC.  But what I don't understand how to do 
is how to continue to param/cfset my variables.

In the App.cfc, I tried putting that and the other statements in below 
the CFCOMPONENT tag and it's not working.  I moved them into the 
onApplicationStart function and that didn't do it either.

Where the heck do you put this code so it works like it did in my 
App.cfm file?

Thanks!

Rob

Tired of lousy companies & recruiters

2006-08-07 Thread RobG
After this thread over on CF-Jobs about that posting from 
"accessiblecomputing.com" and the guy who posted the job being a prick 
to one of the list members who took issue with his posting, I'm once 
again wanting to setup some sort of website where consultants, employees 
or whomever can post about bad experiences with companies and 
recruiters.  It's time that we had a way for these companies to get bad 
press and therefore have a hard time finding people until they change 
their ways.

Granted there are always two sides to every story, but the important 
side to us, of course, is OUR side.

My intention isn't to slander companies or recruiters, but to simply 
post facts about the position and the management there.  Here's an example:

"It turns out I was hired not to be a developer, but rather to BE the 
guy who hired me.  His anal-retentive nature required me to write code 
EXACTLY the same way that he would -- right down to the same white 
spacing, line breaks, and even coding methodology (and I don't mean 
Fusebox)."

Anybody think it's a worthwhile venture?  I wouldn't expect to make any 
money at it, but I do have the server and means to have such a site up 
and running inside of a day...
