No, Dan was right. Version 7 was ColdFusion MX 7.  Which is just kind of a
weird way to number it.

Re: isValid - numeric vs. float

2013-12-04 Thread Scott Brady


But if the variable contains a street address like "1313 Mockingbird Lane" then 
val() would make us think it's numeric data. 

In this case, this could be data that is supposed to be numeric but may not be 
.  Kind of a silly example. 

I guess if lsParaeNumber() returned something like "NAN" for non-numeric 
arguments it would be simpler.

Re: isValid - numeric vs. float

2013-12-04 Thread Scott Brady

Well, in our case, this started out as a way for us to determine if the
variable we're dealing with is a number that we'd need to strip the commas
from. Due to the nature of our code, we only want to strip out the commas
if it's a number.  For us, the bug actually works in our favor, because
that's really the only way to determine if it was a number.  (Our other
alternative was to do an lsPareNumber() inside a try/catch block, which may
be the way we have to go if Adobe fixes the bug.

isValid - numeric vs. float

2013-12-03 Thread Scott Brady


The docs for isValid() imply that the type "numeric" and "float" are
equivalent, in that they're listed together.  However, they can yield
different results:
isValid("numeric","1,000.00") returns false
isValid("float","1,000.00") returns true

This came up as we're dealing with an issue of users entering "1,000.00"
[or something similar] into a field, which can cause problems in one area
of code where we need that value to be a valid number (i.e., we want to use
it in a calculation, which results in an error).  We can use
lsParseNumber(0 around the value, but first we need to make sure it's a
valid number anyway. So, we're somewhat forced into using
isValid("float",) which is fine.

But, is this a bug with the actual isValid() function or is it more of a
documentation error (i.e., behind the scenes, "float" and "numeric" are
different and "1,000.00" is not a valid numeric but is a valid float)?

Re: CF 10 on Mavericks AND Adobe download links not working

2013-10-28 Thread Scott Brady

Ditto to what Ray said.

Plus, the client I'm working with now has a set httpd.conf (and SSL) setup
that is fairly standard for the developers, and going off of that makes it
harder.

Of course, MAMP is already going off of that standard, but I'd be happy
just to see the CF Admin show up at this point.

Re: MAMP not processing ColdFusion

Well, I have it it's not commenting it out.  But now Apache won't start
because it's saying "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/CFIDE" doesn't exist.  But I
don't see anything that is pointing to that location (the mod_jk.conf is
pointing to the CFIDE  in the CF10 wwwroot folder.

I'll keep banging my head against the wall.

I'll see if I can do what I need to do with the non-Pro version, but I
didn't think I can use different server names (I need to use specific
domains on my local environment).

MAMP not processing ColdFusion

2013-10-28 Thread Scott Brady


I mentioned this in my latest reply/rant about Mavricks, but thought it
should be its own thread.

I'm trying to take Ray's advice and use MAMP to run CF on Mavericks, but I
can't get it to process CF files.

Every time I start up the server in MAMP Pro, it comments out:
Include "/Users//Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP
PRO/mod_jk.conf"
in the httpd.conf file

which I believe is what tells it how to process CF files.

Any suggestions?

Scott

Re: CF 10 on Mavericks AND Adobe download links not working

2013-10-28 Thread Scott Brady

Actually, I DID check for compatibility and it seemed like there was a
workaround (provided by the community) that had been working.  Obviously, I
couldn't test it without actually upgrading it. And we're not talking about
a major apache version change (2.2.21 to 2.2.24).

As far as working in the same environment as we deploy to, that's easy if
you work for a single client, I suppose.  But, that's not something that's
always possible.

Dave, not all of us have the luxury of developing only on the platform that
gets deployed to.  We have a number of clients and they don't all run the
same platform.

Of course, now I'm in MAMP hell, because it won't run CF files (it keeps
commenting out the include of my mod_jk.conf when I start Apache).

Re: CF 10 on Mavericks AND Adobe download links not working

2013-10-28 Thread Scott Brady

We were getting a fairly generic "Error processing your request" with a
number of links to the home page and to contact Adobe.  It's still
happening (after a restart).  Someone else was able to get me the file, so
now just to try to get it up and running again. Isn't Adobe in Apple's
developer program and, thus, had access to the Mavericks builds so they
could have had a fix out by now (rather than the community having to
provide a mod_jk.so file)?

(MAMP uses an older version of Apache, I believe, which is why that works.)

CF 10 on Mavericks AND Adobe download links not working

2013-10-28 Thread Scott Brady


I upgraded my Mac to Mavericks over the weekend and I had CF 10 working
yesterday, by using the modified mod_jk.so that someone posted on the net
(since there isn't a fix from Adobe yet).

This morning, it stopped working after trying a CF restart, so I went
through the process again and still couldn't get it working.  So, I figured
i'd try re-installing CF10.  Unfortunately, it looks like both the download
links on Adobe's site for ColdFusion 10 aren't working (nor is the "Report
a bug" link on their site), but other download links are working. (One
other developer can get to the download page, but another one can't -- we
thought maybe it was a VPN issue, but if I disconnect from the VPN, I still
can't get to the download link).

Since I can't report the problem and Ray is on this list, I'm hoping he can
at least notify the web site team.

Here's the download link I'm trying:

cffeed and SharePoint

2013-05-16 Thread Scott Brady


We have an internal system in which we want to display content from an RSS
feed to users.  The RSS feed is on another internal SharePoint server.
However, I'm running into roadblocks trying to access the content, even if
CF is running under an AD account (which I know has access to SharePoint,
because it's my account). Even if I try using CFHTTP to read the content, I
get an "unauthorized" error.

There isn't much code to show, since it's really just one line, but here it
is:


(and I get the same error even if I hard-code arguments.URL to the correct
URL)

Does CF have the ability to access RSS feeds that are locked behind
SharePoint?  Does it require some configuration we may not have set up
(either in CF or on SharePoint)?

This is on ColdFusion 8.

Thanks!

Scott

Re: Date Ranges: Drop Down Menus vs Calendar Based

2013-04-17 Thread Scott Brady

Following up on my own e-mail . . . .  if you really don't want to have
people type in dates, you could implement a calendar date picker with
drop-downs. When a user clicks on a date, you can then populate the
dropdowns with the date they chose.  No matter which route you choose,
you'll want to do some validation (making sure they didn't choose a "to"
date that is earlier than the "from" date, etc.).

Re: CF running out of steam

They can certainly consider pricing options, but what would a student price
get them that the Developer Edition doesn't get them?  Student pricing is
typically only usable for non-production/non-commercial uses (i.e.,
development), so it seems like the free Developer Edition covers that.

As others have said it's not an actually issue, I could see some uninformed

have technical underlings who can mitigate their fears, it shouldn't be an

Of course, they're measuring two different things.  The SF Gate one talks

Right. I was talking about why _I_ generally don't like cfscript.

But, honestly, if they don't really know how to do anything in javascript,
then I'm not sure what they're doing writing CFML (or any web application
development language).

Re: CFScript Book

2012-02-21 Thread Scott Brady

My main issue with cfscript is that it's easy to confuse at first glance
between that and javascript (for cases when you have JS mixed in with CF
code, as the legacy app I work on at work has).  So, it's not really
cfscript's fault as much as a personal bugaboo.

Re: CFScript Book

2012-02-21 Thread Scott Brady

As of CF9, the vast majority of CF can be written in script, if you
desire.  Almost every tag has a cfscript equivalent (I believe there were a
few that didn't make the cut, but I can't recall which ones off-hand).  Of
course, some things are a bit more tedious doing them in script (such as
outputting content and running queries).

Developer Edition License Exception and Windows 7

2011-09-26 Thread Scott Brady


This just started happening on Friday, so not sure if it's Windows
7-specific or not (I've been on 7 for a couple of months), but now it's
getting annoying (4-5 times today already).

I'm running across a problem with the Dev edition saying there's a license
restriction exception.  No one else has been hitting my machine, but it
seems like Windows is hitting CF with 3 different IP addresses.  The
exception lists the one it's trying to use (an IPv4 address) and the two
that it's already tied to (two different IPv6 addresses).

One of the v6 and the v4 address are tied to my wireless connection, and the
other v6 is tied to my ethernet connection.  I suppose I could disconnect
the wireless (I've never figured out why it seems like Windows gives
wireless precedence over a hard-wired connection), but I was wondering if
there was something else I could do.  I'm getting really tired of restarting
CF (my computer isn't exactly over-powered and the app can be slow to start
up, so it kills 10-15 minutes of productivity every time).

So, short of disabling the wireless connection, is there something else I
could do?

I had no issues running CF9 and Lion.  In fact, from what I recall, I did

Actually, I do get a message in the Launcher that it has to stop CF
un-gracefully (some permission issue I haven't bothered fixing), but it
starts up and runs just fine.  I suspect if I were to re-install CF, that
would be take care of, as well.

Re: Stupid Question

2011-07-01 Thread Scott Brady

I haven't really done much testing with it, since I just don't like
isDefined() in general (it seems like sloppier code to me), but I seem to
recall in the build-up to releasing CF9, the folks at Adobe said that
isDefined() and structKeyExists() now have no performance difference.

Of course, there are times when isDefined() actually does make more sense.
If you have a four-level structure and you want to see if
"variables.level1.level2.level3.level4" exists in the bottom level, do you
really want to write out " ?

Bryan, do you know anything about how "efficient/good" the code is after
exporting (either to iOS or Android)?  My company is looking at building a
social media game that will be on Facebook (i.e., Flash first, with versions
for iOS and Android later, and performance is going to be a concern for us.
My gut tells me that having Flash convert the code automatically may result
in ... less than ideal performance (of course, I can be a bit of a Luddite
sometimes regarding any auto-generated code :) ).

Re: CF vs. Java Web Developer

2011-06-25 Thread Scott Brady

I worked on a small project at a previous job where we tried pair
programming and it had mixed results.

We didn't do the "slide the keyboard and mouse back and forth" technique.
Instead, we'd do shifts where one person developed on his machine for a
while, while the other provided ideas/feedback/error-checking.  Then, after
a set time-period, we'd switch roles (after taking a break).

It was actually physically exhausting for both of us (from what I've seen, a
lot of developers need occasional distractions while working to keep their
energy levels up) and I'm not certain it was more effective.  I think we had
fewer reported defects during testing (I can't recall for certain).

It was only one test and might have worked better with more practice, but I
don't think the company has used it since.

Re: CGI Variables - CGI.cert_subject won't display

2011-06-21 Thread Scott Brady

I'm not familiar with that particular CGI variable, but did something change
on the IIS side?

Re: CF vs. Java Web Developer

2011-06-21 Thread Scott Brady

FWIW, I don't think it's that easy to become a "good" CF developer, either.
Yes, it's very easy to learn the language and it's easy to become
"competent" at it (i.e., being able to build something that works).  But to
actually be "good" (best practices, advanced topics, etc.) isn't necessarily
simple.  In fact, because it's so easy to get up and running, in some ways,
that might make it harder to become really good, because you don't need to
in order to get things done.

Java is definitely much more complex -- especially for people just getting
started -- and more powerful.  But, I believe that if you're someone who is
actually good at CF (i.e., you're actually a developer rather than a coder),
you can learn Java.

Re: assigning javascript variable to coldfusion.Please assist

2011-06-14 Thread Scott Brady

OK. It looks like I misread your code earlier -- I thought you were
hard-coding the variable, when you were actually getting it from a cfinput.
Unfortunately, I haven't used Dreamweaver in years (since MX 2004, I
believe), so not sure how you'd do it in there.  Others here probably have
experience with that.

But, I guess I'm not certain what exactly the goal is.  If the URL is being
provided by user-input in a cfinput, then a cfmodule at the end of that page
won't be able to get that (because the cfmodule is processed before the page
is displayed to the user).  Perhaps you can explain what you're trying to
accomplish a bit more, and I (or someone else on here) would be able to help
you accomplish that (or provide a better way to do it).

Re: assigning javascript variable to coldfusion.Please assist

2011-06-12 Thread Scott Brady

ColdFusion doesn't work that way.  By the time the browser gets to the point
of running any JavaScript, all of the ColdFusion processing for the page has
been done.  There is some things you could use to accomplish what it looks
like what you're trying to do.

First, it looks like you don't even need it as a ColdFusion variable, since
you're just writing the URL to the page.  In that case, since you already
have that value in JavaScript, you could just write the value to the page
using JavaScript.  (Also, note that the code you provide isn't going to work
correctly anyway, because you have HTML mixed in between your opening and
closing  tags).

If you actually do need it as a CF variable for some reason, you could use
Ajax to set the value (though it would have to be in a persistent scope,
such as a session variable). Or, since you just have the value hard-coded in
the example, you could just hard-code it again when setting the CF variable
(if your intention is to hard-code it).
