Dreaded cfform.js Error
I've been coding along nicely today, and then suddenly, on my test server, I notice that I'm getting a missing page error when I submit a form. I checked all of my includes. They appear to be intact. I push to my prod server to check against everything, and the same thing happens, but my logs report this: [Sun Apr 3 19:23:26 2005] [error] [client ip address] File does not exist: /home/website/public_html/CFIDE/scripts/cfform.js Now, I'll always admit to being more of a hack with CF than an actual developer, and if it weren't for forums just like this, I'd probably not have completed more than a couple of my projects. I'm lost. I'm just not sure what's going on here and I've a feeling I've just made a syntax snafu that's causing this to be a bit ugly But then again, I could be wrong, as I've just noticed it's happening on a couple of other CFMX sites on my server. I've tried moving a /CFIDE/scripts/cfform.js location on the server, but I still get the same error--I thought that, based on some research, that might actually help or totally fix the problem. Can anyone offer any insight/guidance here? I'm really struggling with this.

RE: Login / Password / Roles script

RE: Login / Password / Roles script
CFLOGIN framework allows for that, too, but I don't find it to be easy nor reliable. What about it do you find not easy or reliable? There are some known issues with it, but they may not affect you. My success with it has simply been sketchy. I'd prefer not to go down the path of trouble-shooting that at the moment, but instead finding a different solution that's quick and simple. If everyone is set on CFLOGIN, then it's more than possible that I've done something wrong in the past, but that's simply not a route at the top of my list. ~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:199514 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

SOT: Exim mail relay issu
All... I've got exim set up on a box running Fedora, and for some reason, it isn't relaying mail from localhost to recipients not on the same server--when running ColdFusion pages that are pushing out emails (just so you know that CFMX is running as well) or any other time. If while on the server I do a telnet localhost 25 and send mail, it works, but if I do a telnet [hostname] 25 and do it, it fails, even though it should be recognized as a local host. Seems as if this should be rather simple, but I'm spinning my wheels all over the place. Anyone experience this before?

Migrating to a new server - CF Considerations?
Hi... I'm migrating all of my sites, and my CFMX, to a new server. Obviously, I don't want to suffer much downtime, so it seems as if I *should* be running CF on both servers for an overlap timeframe of around 48-72 hours, if I'm lucky. Not only that, but I'd like to be able to actually have some additional time to do any tweaking, match settings, etc. without issue. Of course, typing it makes me think that maybe I should upgrade now, too, but what the heck, one issue at a time. Am I silly for even asking the question, or should this type of transfer work out okay? Anything I need to be aware of? Thanks in advance; I'm feeling a little twitchy about it all and any advice is greatly appreciated.

RE: Any sites using the new Flash forms?
You know, I really think a lot of folks are missing the idea behind the Flash forms. While they may not currently be ideal for what any of us are looking for, they are the ground-breaking shovel in the ground to lead to a lot of different things--I mean, let's face it, where's the ..fla for those forms? Did someone learn Flash to do it? Maybe it doesn't work for you now, but tomorrow, or 2.5 years from now or whenever, someone's already there working in that space with something that's perhaps SVG and scalable to many different formats--let's say, for example, to cell phones, if more and more manufacturers start to place it on their devices and more and more carriers start demanding it on the phones they purchase... The potential is there. That's the big thing. Would I use it today? Probably not. But it's nice to know that it's got a great chance of being a reality around the corner as bandwidth becomes less and less of a restriction, that's for certain. Just my $.02.

RE: consultant wanted
Rick, Since you mention MySQL, it makes me wonder what version of PHP you're running (if you're running it--assumption is for the use of phpmyadmin); I had to downgrade (definitely don't try to run PHP 5.0!) due to similarly odd behavior. This also happened when I upgraded to Server 2003. Once I backed-up to a stable 4.xx release of PHP, all became well again, but I'm not entirely sure if this is even close to helping you. Russ I don't know what happened to your machine, Steve, but all of a sudden I can't view any of my sites using http://localhost, nor can I view them with a URL directly to my sites folders using my static IP on other PC's. I'm getting Permission Denied, also. I've been tinkering with MYSQL settings and permissions in response to recent warnings about attacks on servers running on the root account, which mine have been, but I don't see what that has to do with the situation. ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

More on FCKEditor... Not good
I'm running CFMX on RH; I've got my fckEditor all set up and working nicely (it's in a folder in a the public site, but also called through CFMapping)--from the public site, from an add comments perspective. In fact, I couldn't be much happier with how that works, but since the site I'm working on also has a protected area where the authors and editors sign-in to add their content... When I'm logged into a /priv directory (currently using .htaccess) where I want to enter in copy for my site, the various buttons appear with irregularity, a lot of times I get forbidden errors, and I've even seen using the tool and submitting content result in my site returning, temporarily, to a Fedora Core page before slowly coming back to life. Uh. Yeah. This is bad. Anyone? At this point, I can't see that it's feasible to remain using this tool, and if the accessibility is such a problem, I'm not sure how anyone could use it within a homegrown CMS at all. I mean, maybe I'm a little nuts here, but it seems as if using this particular tool is causing my entire server to bork.

RE: [SOT] Supporting multiple browsers and versions
It should be noted that Martin's actually talking about getting strong enough with CSS to understand when you'll need certain workarounds, what styles will work when and port across to other browsers, etc. He's also bringing up understanding of Standards (ref: http://print.google.com/print?id=RBtltKDulrcCprev=http://print.google.c om/print%3Fq%3Djeffrey%2Bzeldmanpg=1sig=yKmjRKvg-LB3bsO5Yg4DBoEP4Ow Designing with Web Standards by Jeffrey Zeldman), and I think the approach is a little pie in the sky. Ultimately, he's mostly correct, but to be fair, not entirely and I don't want to turn this into an argument/back and forth discussion--but everthing that you need to do will have a lot of factors, such as complexity, skill sets of other developers, etc. While XHTML CSS standards (per Zeldman, at least) are an absolutely phenominal notion, I do not believe that their usage is entirely something logical in the marketplace as of yet--but that doesn't mean we shouldn't all strive to understand better, it just means that the likelyhood of finding yourself in a project that works that way would be rather.. Diminished. And yes, the argument is there for cost savings, etc. but the first time you find yourself spending 2 days trying to make something work across browsers using only XHTML and CSS when you could have performed the same task with a table in 2 minutes... Well, let's just say that the cost benefit starts to also... Diminish. It's a noble effort and a great, great idea and it's great to have people driving for it, but until these types of standards become mainstream and we're all learning them as fundamentals, getting there will be slow going. But please, take my comments with a grain of salt. I've found that there are many things you can do by knowing standards better to improve development--even if you don't use them 100%. At the same time, take anyone else's comment with a grain of salt that promise you all of this--but wait, there's more! If you call in now, you'll also get this great knife that can cut through aluminum cans--and more. Simply put, it's just not all the way there, but getting another person on board always helps.

If you use DreamWeaver and have a bit of time to get your head around CSS layouts then create a new page using the CSS template and see how it hangs together - basically all done with DIV's. I dipped my toe in the water the other day, created my first CSS only site and was stunned when trying it in each browser that it looked IDENTICAL !! Another by product of doing things this way was that when I tested the site using the W3C CSS and html validator it got a perfect score. Superb! As far as any JavaScript stuff goes, I agree with ColdFusionDeveloper (the man with no name) - Try it in a non-ie browser first then fiddle to get it working in that later. I love using document.all (saves using getElementByID) but it just ain't available in other mainline browsers. Search engines and accessibility tools such as screen readers for partially sighted users benefit from using CSS too as there's no masses of nested tables to confuse the issue.

Have recent IE's oddities pretty well dealt with, but looking at the wider world, I'm wondering how folks manage development for multiple browsers. I'm thinking about relatively small shops that don't have enormous resources devoted solely to QA. Specifically... - Do you serve different style sheets or pages depending on the browser and version? How many? - Are you coding to W3C standards? Which one(s)? How much does that actually help your pages be more universally compatible? - What's an accurate, up to date source of info on html, css, and js capabilities and quirks for a lot of different browsers and versions? - It doesn't appear that you can have multiple versions of IE installed on the same machine. If you have to support them, do you actually have separate machines whose only purpose is to be equipped with IE 4, 5, and 6, maybe even 3? How else can you test? - Do you have mac, linux and pc browser test machines? - For general public sites, what do you consider a reasonable list of browsers and versions that you need to support?

RE: Hightlight Tag Broken, Verity Search Alternative?
I haven't used the cf_highlight tag so I don't know how much different or similar this may be but I've used this one quite a bit and it works great. It is a modified version of a function originally written by Ray Camden. http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=133 Beautiful! Thanks--that replaced what I already had that was... Not as good. Now, if I can just figure out an alternative search solution--you know, like the Idiot's Guide To Building Your Own Search Engine On Your Site, order may be partially restored to the universe. My universe, anyway. Thanks again! ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Hightlight Tag Broken, Verity Search Alternative?
All, I've got a couple of quick-hit bugs (hopefully) that are driving me batty. For starters, I work locally off of Win2k3 Server running mysql at home as a dev/test environment and then I have a production box running Linux mysql. I'm pretty-well tested when it comes to being on current, stable versions, etc. etc. That said, upon pushing a site to production... I have a custom tag that is cf_highlight for highlighting text. When I run a search and append the highlight=#searchterm# it MASSIVELY breaks the page on the site, where locally there is no issue and it works great (with the exception of actually figuring out how to apply a true highlight (background color)). I'm running Verity, and frankly, I find it a little confusing and more difficult than it seems to need to be. It seems as if it's going to be quite the undertaking to actually figure out how to search by specific parameters--basically, I'm wondering if anyone can make any recommendations as to an alternative search solution; this isn't a make-it or break-it feature on my site, and truthfully it's more there for my own experience and as a nice to have, but I don't want to resort to plugging in someone else's branded search box or whatever. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance! Russ ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

CFSCHEDULE RSS into DB
Great title, I know. Thanks... I'll be here all week... That said, I've managed to grab a bunch of RSS feeds that I'd like to use as content on my site and I want to utilize CFSCHEDULE (and I'm a novice with this) to actually run the page and insert the data into the database so that I don't have to rely upon an external source for my pages to load. I've been told that yes, this is being done before, but I truly need some help getting the content into my database. A tutorial or brief guidance would be very welcome! Thanks in advance!

RE: WYSIWYG Rich Text Area Editor
Okay, so no one wants my $20--that's cool. Actually, it's not bad for me since I've figured a bunch of stuff out, but it appears as if the fckconfig.js file is getting cached and changes that I've made to the toolbars don't take very quickly. Maybe this is something easy enough to fix that I'm unaware of due to a lack of exposure to the server set-up side of things--can anyone over advice on that? After that, the only real issue that I have left is trying to figure out how to set up image uploading through FCK and CFMX. And maybe trying to figure out why pages with the text area seem to not be able to utilze the browser's BACK button very well. Anyone? Hey, I'll still offer up the $20 or a nice import 12er if you're in Chicago!

FCKeditor and/or Javascript caching?
I hope I'm not kicking a dead horse, but since I'm not as strong on the server side of things as I'd like to be, I'm unsure how to adjust a setting--if that's what I need to do. Basically, after tracking down and installing FCKeditor (and thanks for all the input from everyone!), I've got most of the core functions working, have customized my toolbars--still haven't quite gotten the image uploading figured out so if someone wants to earn some beers, please, get ahold of me off-list; I can't imagine figuring this out would take much more than 15 minutes with the help of someone who's mastered it already!--but I'm still not sure why: When I make modifications to the fckconfig.js page, it takes a couple of hours or more for the changes to take place on the web pages. Do I have something set to cache in my CFMX server or my Win2003 Server that I'm unaware of that would cause this? It's no small annoyance, I can assure you. Thanks!
