RE: CF's Most Wanted ::
On the topic of CFFILE and uploading, I would luv to see some kinda of reliable, efficient tool to allow uploading of multiple files/folder structures.

With all this talk of learning other languages to flesh out your portfolio, and more importantly your knowledge, along with the looming release of NEO/CFMX, I've been trying to think of the features that I currently miss in my ColdFusion.

It seams to me that we see some of the same issues puzzling new or begginer users over and over again, or some great features that are available though creative uses of custom tags are not readily available to those developers hosting on shared servers. And I feel that MM could easily add some nice new tags or attributes to current tags that solve most everyone's problems (and I know nothing is that easy, but it'd be nice.) I also know most of us have submitted feature requests on MM's site, but the community never really geats to chime in. So what I'd like to do is gather up a few of your ideas for improving ColdFusion just to let MM know what we're are thinking. I'm also very interested in what other developers are thinking, and I'm sure y'all are too. I know that timing probably isn't the best for their very, very busy brains over in MM land right now, but there really isn't anytime better than the present.

RE: CF's Most Wanted ::
In terms of standards, I agree. If a standard already exists that does the job, then it should not be changed. However, the HTTP upload standard is slightly flawed. Or at least the current implementations of it are. If I upload a 100 Megabyte file (and there are occasional cases where this is needed), then the server MUST have 100 Megabytes of available memory. Now tie that upload in with other common uploads of 1 or two meg a piece, and the server very quickly runs out of resources. We have written a client communiation tool that allows file uploads. The biggest request we get for improvements is to allow multiple file selection, and/or selection of a folder and upload it's contents recursively. In this type of situation, where the files in question range from 1 Meg to 20 Meg, we would crash our server very quickly - because of the way HTTP Upload works. As a result, we have limited the system to one file at a time. My two cents worth.

No thank you :) IMHO, for maximum usability across clients and servers (and firewalls), the only protocol that should be used for communication between the client and the server is HTTP. I would be perfectly happy if the W3C just added a new attribute to input type=file. That attribute should be optional and have the name multiple and be a true/false field, with the default to false. The effect should be that people can simply select multiple files or even folders when uploading, but the uploading still happens exactly as it is done now through HTTP. This is an entirely client side matter, I would imagine that with any reasonably advanced Java or even Flash plugin this would already be possible. On the server side, no changes will be needed, sine HTTP already allows for multiple file uploads in one request. I hope that you will all agree with me that employing (propietary?) non-default protocols for something that can be easily handled by HTTP is a practice from the previous century.

I know my server side CF page can use CFFile to write an uploaded file to disk, but the file resides in memory until my CF page is executed. i.e. 1) Client Side Web page 2) Posts to server 3) File is uploaded to server via HTTP 4) file is stored in memory until it is fully uploaded 5) action page is then loaded/executed 6) File is transferred from memory to disk via CFFILE.

Subject: CFLOOP problem with commas
I am trying to CFLOOP through a collection of URLs. The problem comes
from the fact that there are commas in some of the URLs. To illustrate
the problem, my code is as follows:
CFSET URL1=
http://www.foobar.com/selector/en/prodselect.asp?Xcntry=USAXlang=en_US
error=novars
CFSET URL2=
http://www.foobar.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=x_main_en,Company=

USA,varset=prodID:DC220DC
cfloop index=ListOfURLs list= #URL1#, #URL2#
cfoutput
#ListofUrls#
/cfoutput
hr
/cfloop
THIS OUTPUTS THE FOLLOWING:
http://www.foobar.com/selector/en/prodselect.asp?Xcntry=USAXlang=en_US;
error=novars
http://www.foobar.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New

varset=Xlang:en_US
varset=Xcntry:USA
varset=prodID:DC220DC
As you can see, the first URL outputs normally, but the second URL
breaks at every comma. Is there a way around this? I don't want to
insert Chr() codes if I can help it!

RE: CF's Most Wanted ::
I have found a need for this type of ability again and again. Something as simple as determining the size of the image (hieght and width) before displaying it, to determine if resizing needs to be done. Now, if I ALWAYS have access to the CF Server in question, then it isn't a problem to use CFX_Image. However, a number of the sites I manage are hosted on 3rd party servers, which DO NOT allow me to install and use CFX tags, or DLLs. End result is that I need to either find creative ways around the issue (i.e. specify the width of an image, but not the height, so that it gets dynamically resized when rendered), or I need to cripple my sites in small ways. We all know that workarounds are NOT the best solution, and crippling a site is never a good solution. But unless I have control of the server, what choice do I have? Having a native CFIMAGE tag which could handle this would most definetly alleviate this issue. But I'm sure care must be taken not to bloat the core functionality of CF with too many goodies.

Help needed - More client variable weirdness
Looking for ideas here, cuz I'm fresh out. Using a SQL Server 2000 database to store the client variables. On my computer, I can log into our web app, and see NEW record/CFID for me. When I log out - which is meant to clear/remove the client variables, my record is deleted - as it should be. On a different workstation, as a different user we see different behaviour (only this one workstation). When logging out, the client variables are zeroed/set to defaults - whereas the record should be deleted. When the user logs in again, they get the same CFID/CFToken, and this record is reused. In Application.CFM, I convert the CFID and CFToken cookies to be memory based cookies. So, if all browsers are closed, and the user then opens a new browser and tries to login, they should get a different CFID/CFToken. The workstation in question has IE 5.5, with the latest security patchs. We have tried deleting the cookie for our domain as well, with the same results. This is getting annoying because the developer will do work, get something functional on his box, and mark it as done. Yet when another of us tries to use the code, it fails - and we've tracked it down to a client variable issue. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The Form names are URL parameters, if the form is submitted with the GET method. So, you can just scan through your Query_String for the name/value pairs.

Client Variable Weirdness
We are using client vars for various things. One of our develpment boxes handles things differently for some reason, so I'm looking for ideas on how to resolve this. We have code in application.cfm to convert the CFID and CFTOKEN to memory based cookies (so that they get destroyed when all browser instances are closed). This should mean that the next time a browser window is opened (without any others being opened first), a new CFID and CFTOKEN are created. And if that is the case, then a new set of client variables are created for the new CFID. However, this one workstation always gets the same CFID/CFTOKEN. We know this because it will consistently come up with client variables/values which should not exist yet. Any ideas what to look for on this workstation? The cookie settings are the same as the other workstations. Or maybe our understanding of how the client variables are handled is wrong? Thanks for any insight Shawn Grover __ Your ad could be here.

one minor flaw with that routine you are limited to one record per file. If you need to associate multiple records to a single file, or a single file to multiple records, then you will need a cross reference table (i.e. FileID, RecordID) But even worse yet, if your file can be associated with multiple records in multiple tables (where a file can be referenced from an image table, and a download table for instance), then you need include a table pointer of some sort: (i.e. FileID, TableName, RecordID) HTH Shawn Grover -Original Message- From: James Taavon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 2:48 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Concatanation (THANKS) THANKS!!

RE: Coldfusion function
I agree with Billy. Custom tags offer the most in terms of flexibility and portability. There are some minor gotcha's with them, but as long as you treat them as a descrete function (i.e. it 'kinda' spawns a new thread (no new thread really, but doesn't have access to all the resources the calling page does - unless you code for it), then you should be fine. If you're familiar with custom tags, then you're well on your way. If not, then you're about to see how flexible CF can be grins One thing I try to do is to NOT use the REQUEST scope just so a variable is available in a custom tag. That's equivalent to making your variables global, and that can lead to all kinds of other headaches. I prefer passing my information to the custom tag as an Attribute. However, that said, there are always exceptions to the rule...

Handle concurrency issues without stored procedures?
Can anyone give me an idea how to handle concurrent updates when using CFQUERY? What we normally do in a stored procedure is to add the LastUpdate date/time value to the where clause, then check the RowCount to see if zero rows were affected (if so, then it's a good bet the date changed, which means someone else has updated the record), and then either raise a SQL error, or return a specific value to be intercepted with CFStoredProc.StatusCode. However, we are in a situation where stored procs are not being used. And with CFQuery, we can't use return codes, and even doing multiple updates is troublesome (having to use SET NOCOUNT ON/OFF). So, I'm looking for ideas. I think we have a method to handle it, but want to see what others are doing for this situation. Thanks.

Where is the best place to put business rules?
We need to determine where the best place to put our business rules is. I'm favouring Stored Procedures, while another developer is favouring CF code (on the action pages). But we are looking for objective comments on the pros and cons. The situation is as follows: We our developing a web app, running on IIS and CF 5.0, with a SQL Server 2000 back end. This web app may be placed into a clustered environment in the near future. Business rules can be placed either on the CF Templates (action pages), or in Stored Procedures. Short of building DLL's strictly for business rules, these are the only options we see for an n-tier web app. (When I say business rules, I mean stuff like if flag A is true, then set fields 1 through 10 to these values, otherwise set fields 10 to 15 to different values). So at the bottom line, we have two questions: 1) Where is the best place to put the business rules? CF Templates (using CFTransaction), or Stored Procedures (using SQL Transactions). We realize that some business rules need to reside on the templates, such as client side data validation. But processing pages are a different story. 2) What is more likely to need clustering - the Web/CF Server, or the SQL Server. This is expected to be a high volume site.

RE: best password encryption method
I agree - this is the most secure. when logging in, you hash the entered password, then do a select on the username, and the hashed password - if you get a record back, they are authenticated. Doing it this way avoids ever having to decrypt a password. Only catch is if you offer a system that can email the password to a user - now you need to decrypt the password, which hashing does not support. My 2 cents worth.

RE: cfparam vs. cfif/isDefined/cfset
I agree, if you are using the application scope, they must be locked. However, I fail to see a need to scope the variables (meaning local scope). If Application.cfm gets run on every page (except includes, cfmodules/custom tags), then these variables are ALWAYS available to you. As for the CFIF to determine if they exist, that's the purpose of CFPARAM with a default attribute. If the parameter exists, it is used as is, otherwise it is created with the default value. I've heard some talk over time as to performance issues and such regarding CFPARAM and IsDefined(), but have never seen a definitive answer saying one is most definetly faster - and my own testing says they are both fast enough (for my purposes at least). Some people will recommend putting all your variables in the Request scope (thereby allowing custom tags to have access to them). I look at this as declaring all your variables as global - which is frowned on in other programming languages (C/C++, VB, Fortran, etc.) because it means more care/management is required to make sure they are not being inadvertently changed in some obscure function. It is better programming practice to use the smallest scope (local scope) where possible, and pass parameters to functions (or custom tags in this case). Those who would dispute this either know something I don't, or don't have much experience outside web development (no offense intended...). As for my own practices regarding variables similar to what you've shown, I declare a LOCAL scoped structure called App. Then make each variable a member of the structure. For example: cfscript App = StructNew(); //Datasources StructInsert(App, DSN, MyDSN); //Locations StructInsert(App, BaseURL, http://localhost/myapp;); StructInsert(App, BaseDirectory, /myapp); structInsert(App, IncludesDir, #App.BaseDirectory#/includes; .. /cfscript With a little more thought, it's possible to declare the structure in the application or session scope, and only create it once. Just be sure to lock where needed. And keep in mind that only YOU know the right answer for your needs. My two cents worth.

Thanks Mark. I'll have to do some reading, but are you saying Session Variables only apply to the current Application Name? And if that is the case, what about Client variables?

RE: UDF question
I have two comments on this: 1) with today's computer's, the speed issue shouldn't be an issue at all. Unless you are doing something inside a loop over thousands of iterations, on multiple websites (hosted on the same server) at the same time, the performance hit should be very minor. If you are looping through thousands of iterations, you expect a delay anyways. 2) Why not offer a simple merged solution? i.e. have CF Server automatically lock any variables, unless the developer has explitly stated a lock beforehand. You're example would be an instance when the developer has not explitly locked anything, whereas if they had done something like this: cflock cfloop ... cfset session.x = ... cfset session.y = ... /cfloop /cflock Then the developer has explitly stated where to start/end the lock. However, if they hadn't, then everything would still run properly because there would be an inherent lock. And then they are responsible for the corresponding performance hit (if any). The logic to do this sort of coding should be very simple. As for myself, I currently set my servers to automagically lock all reads of application and session variables. Keeps my code very clean when I'm only reading elements (99% of my use of session variables).

Therefore, we would be stuck with the slower alternative. Personally, I'd rather just do the work.

RE: RE: UDF question
You can begin mulitple threads simply by declaring a frameset. In that case, you'll have two or more pages being loaded into their respective frames with (near) simultaneous calls. Which means the server can be responding to either of those calls at any given time. The problem now comes when these two (or more pages) make reference to a common session or applicaiton variable. Who get's precedence? What if they are both writing at the same instance. This is the reason for locking. The argument here though is that the server should be able to handle this locking on the fly, on it's own. I think this is going come down to a developer style issue - more than one way to do it, and all of them right because they acheive the same results. I've yet to see strong arguments why CF Server should not handle the locking, but then again, I've yet to see strong arguments why the developers shouldn't handle it. Hence, I think a compromise is in order, and would offer the best solution for everyone involved (see my earlier post on this thread). My observations, not yours.

RE: CFTransactions and SQL Transactions?
In my experience, this would be better done in a single stored procedure call (which would then call any other required stored procs). SQL Server supports nested transactions, so each of your 'child' stored procs can also use transactions if required. If you are writing this from scratch, put as much logic as you can into the stored procs (afterall, the database server is meant to handle data for you, whereas your web server is meant to present web pages). As for CFTRANSACTION, we are unclear on how it could handle a rollback if you have stored procs within it that have committed their SQL Transactions. Until I hear more, I'm recommending to my team to NOT use CFTransaction for that reason. The data for our current app is critical, and we have to stick with methods we know to work well.

RE: What's wrong with this simple UDF?
You have to do your VAR statements before anything else.
Try it this way:
function pad(str, length, padChar) {
var strLen = len(trim(str));
var difference = length - strLen;
str = trim(str);
if (strLen GT length) {

RE: Target back to parent.
Yes, the Form object has a Target attribute. (i.e. form action=mypage.cfm target=_top) If needed, I think you can set the target dynamically through JS document.forms[0].target=MainWindow; (I could be wrong on this though... couldn't find confirmation in my JS book.)

RE: Target back to parent.
Hm good point. But, you should be able to do something like window.opener.name but check to make sure it's not null But now that I think of it, maybe the other method would be best assigning values from the child window to hidden form fields on the main. at least I can see how that would work properly, but it DOES take a bit more coding up front...

RE: Target back to parent.
Don't know if the name property of a window is readonly or not, but if it isn't, then you could try something like this: script window.name = MainWindow; var subwin = open(.); /script and then set your target on the child window to the name you defined in the script.

RE: Target back to parent.
Niel out of curiosity.. is your child window modal? If so, the rules are a little bit different. We've found that the only way to process the action page nicely (meaning without a blank window opening for a moment), is to use a hidden IFRAME on the modal window, and set our form's target to the IFrame. Before we did this (and having proved it again afterwards), we were getting some tough javascript problems to fix (unable to refresh the current page, etc.). Hope that helps.

When I want to know what my local weather is like, I look out the window. When I want to know the forcast (rarely), I watch broadcast news, or the weather station on tv for a few minutes. I tend to agree with Adam. A company's main page should be about the company - not necessarily about the environment around their building. However, if the managers decide they want weather info, then I would handle it as a simple link on the main page to a weather page. This way, you are still providing the information, but minimizing the use of screen real estate for it, and allowing the user to choose if they want to see it or not. My two cents worth.

I'm sure the intentions were good, but everyone from New York, Chicago, LA, UK, etc would get a nice big browser full of 26 and heavy snow each time they needed information about the actual company.

Yep, it could be an argument/discussion, with no right answer as it always comes down to specific situations. In cases like this, I'd just tell my supervisor that it's a business decision (offering my arguments for or against the idea), and let him handle it, or make the decision. Then I do whatever needs to be done. In cases where I can make the choice (my own site for example), then I consider the idea's worth, make a choice, and do it. grins The arguments/suggestions presented are all good and valid. My only comment on all of this is that some people tend to be focusing on applets that work with zip codes. I live in Canada where we don't have zip codes, so these tools become academic interest only (if that is ALL they can handle - I have seen reference to others that would work fine)... On the other hand, I don't have a requirement to show weather on any of my projects at this time, so I don't need the tool... My thoughts not yours...

Recovering CF Admin password?
I have an aquaintance who has 'misplaced' his password for their Cold Fusion Administrator. (no, it's not me).

RE: Rotating banners
I agree that you have to consider the volume of traffic, and single threading issues. However, I would be assuming that the banner rotator would be a javascript function on a page, or a CFM file retrieved via CFHTTP. In this case, I'd just use CF to build a javascript array of the necessary URLs for each page. Then the array/ordered collection does not need to be in the application scope, it would be a local variable. But, I do see ways to shoot that idea out of the water too. I guess it comes down to my in-experience with banner rotators, and banner ads in general. So, I will follow the list's guidance on this topic. My $0.25 worth. Shawn Grover -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 3:10 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Rotating banners It all depends really on the level of traffic on the site. The higher the traffic then the larger the sample and the closer the random selection from the weighted list will get to the desired result. To use Shawn's ordered collection from a randomly distributed list you'd need to hold it or at least the latest selection in an application variable which would move each time it was accessed. This would be problematic for a high traffic site, since you'd have to single thread access to this part of the application.cfm. For a low traffic site this would give a better approximation and the application variable might access might not be a problem. -Original Message- From: Shawn Grover [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 05 March 2002 19:03 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Rotating banners I don't think this will work well Yes, you have listed the banner ID's in the proper percentage, but there is no guarantee that the random number will match that weighting.

RE: it's finally happened
Had a similar problem this morning... We had a power outage yesterday, and lost some work, but we got to leave early as a result. When I came back to my files this morning the file I was working on had been damaged sorta. It was a rendered version of my CF code (the page was correct, but was no longer dynamic). This could be because I had cut and paste a rendered copy into a NEW document (for troubleshooting) when the power went out. I can only guess that somehow the file system messed things up in this case as a result of the unexpected shutdown (no, I did not save the NEW document over my original). I had to rename the file, restore from Source Safe, then cut and paste the changes to the original file (thank god I was only working on javascript at the time). I did look for a back up copy, but didn't find any. Can someone tell me where CF Studio stores it's backup files? Or if it is an option I need to turn on?

RE:SOLUTION - Closing a window from JS without prompt?
We managed to do it, but by tricking the calling window. Here's a code
snippet that might be useful for some of you out there:
mainwin = window.open('#NewURL#', 'mainwin', '');
!--- Close original window, this trick works under IE5.5+ only ---
mainwin.opener = mainwin;
window.opener = mainwin;
window.close();
(to be fair, I have to give credit for this to another of our developers...)

i just pasted that snippet into a page.

Template running more than once?
We have a case where it appears our template is running twice - but only intermittently. We did a SQL Profile/Trace and noticed two calls to the stored proc on the page, for one page request (us clicking the form submit button only once). We also added some logging capabilities to the stored proc involved here and saw something like this: SP Starting SP Starting SP Processing SP End SP End (notice the SINGLE processing line) This again was would occur on a single page submission. We tested this by going through the page submission routine a number of times, and sometimes it works as expected and others causes this problem. Any ideas? We do take into account concurrency via a where clause like this Where Last_Updated = @LastUpdated AND ... (with proper date conversions and such). Then check to see if @@RowCount is zero - which would indicate a concurrency issue, and failed update. The error we are getting seems to indicate the concurrency issue - however, our data does get updated. And checking the SQL Trace shows two calls to the SP occasionally which indicates the template is executing twice. If we are getting the concurrency error, BUT our data is updated, then the page seems to be running, updating the data, then running again, and then failing. So, I'm looking for ideas on how this situation could occur, and how to resolve it. We are running CF5 on Win2K with a SQL 2000 back end. Thanks for any input.

RE: clean redirection?
In this case, you could have a page strictly for redirection (let's call it redirect.cfm). Then, in that file you'd do something like this: cfparam name=URL.q default = cfif len(URL.q) gt 0 then cflocation url=#URL.q# cfelse ... redirect to another page - either back, or an error page maybe /cfif This would display the page, without the actual refering link (www.mysite.com/redirect.cfm?q=http://anothersite.com), and would allow you to add logging or anything else before the CFLOCATION call.

RE: Future of the internet
I hear all this talk of limited Broadband. Maybe I'm just lucky living in a metropolitan area in Canada - DSL and Cable are the same price and is fairly affordable (about $40 Cdn / month). It'd be nice if it were cheaper, but this isn't too bad. Then again, I have heard some grumblings that Canada is a bit further ahead in adoption of newer technology (could be wrong though). As for the Future of the internet... makes me think - with all these Nodes on the I-Net, sooner or later someone is going to try to put them together in a neural net or something similar. So THE killer app in this case would be the I-Net itself...

The broadband that is reliable is limited to coverage (Cable), and the DSL services are far to expensive and will kill the market and at the moment is also very unreliable with the uptime. I myself have had the time to think about where the future is headed, and there many opportunities that will open up when this gets sorted, But there has to be 2 things present. 1) The medium has enough coverage to give your product the coverage it needs, and to deliver the way this is to look. 2) Security, this will be a big undertaking and people would be hesitant to hook to something that offers very little protection to any stored information.

We have a client who needs their ColdFusion site mirrored geograph ically. They need it so that if Seattle gets hit with an earthquake (since we are out of the Seattle area), the mirrored site in Chicago (for example) will automatically pick up without any site outage. I am not familiar wit h all the details of how mirroring works, but the hosting companies I have talked to so far cannot offer this service... they say that mirroring it in the same rack is not a problem, but mirroring across the country poses so me kind of problem. Is there a hosting company that anyone knows of that can take care of this situation? We actually have two applications for a solu tion to this problem. We have this new site that needs to be hosted and mirr ored, but we also have a Linux server in a data center here that needs to b e mirrored somewhere else in the country also (with auto switch over). I thought Akamai would be a solution, but the rep from there said that they do only hit dispersion, but not actual content and site mirroring. Any ideas? Sorry if some of the terminology is off...kind of over my head here.. :) Thanks, Christine [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ _ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists __ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
RE: msmenu
There is a javascript menu at www.milonic.com/menu that does this for you. And is cross platform compatible. But that may not be an option if you are already developing with the msmenu.

RE: CFStoredProc vs CFQUERY
Use the CFPROCRESULT name=MyQueryObject inside the CFSTOREDPROC
tags
(normally the last one specified)...
Using cfstoredproc tags eliminates a bunch of errors - in the CFQuery
call,
how do you know the Date is a proper format? the cfprocparam tags
handle
any neccessary conversion (within reason) for you.
Also, with cfstoredproc, you can have multiple recordsets returned, and
have
access to the Stored Procedures return value. You can't do that with
CFQuery.

Subject: CFStoredProc vs CFQUERY
I was just wondering if any one knew the difference between the
following:
CFSTOREDPROC PROCEDURE=usp_myproc DATASOURCE=mydatasource
CFPROCPARAM TYPE=IN CFSQLTYPE = CF_SQL_DATE VARIABLE = FOO
dbVarName = @param2
CFPROCPARAM TYPE=IN CFSQLTYPE = CF_SQL_INTERGER VARIABLE =
BAR dbVarName = @param3
/CFSTOREDPROC
AND THIS:
CFQUERY Name=qryMyQuery DATASOURCE=mydatasource
{CALL usp_myproc(01/23/1971, 31)}
/CFQUERY
Also, when the stored procedure returns a query, how would you access
it
through the first method? The second method at least allows you to
name
the query so that you can access the resulting recordset.

Looking for suggestions for a Virtual Museum
One of the sites I volunteer my time for is considering putting their museum online (a virtual museum). I'm looking for ideas on how to accomplish this. When they say virtual museum they simply mean providing access to some/most/all of the museum resources online. We do not necessarily need a VRML environment (and I'd rather avoid the extra complexity). So basically a search engine to their resources. I have considered taking the content management route (meaning they upload Word/PDF/Image/etc. files, and it gets mapped into the site automatically), but am not yet convinced this is the best solution. Most of the museum artifacts are old magazines, pilot and maintenance manuals and such - well suited for content management I think. But I'm not sure if a CM system would be able to handle our particular needs for searching/sorting/storage. (I'd roll my own if we go this route, so that's not really a strong argument). Unfortunately, they only have maybe 1% (if that) of their resources in digital format thus far. Anyone want to offer ideas on how to approach this project?? It would be great to hear from someone who has but museum resources online before. If it helps, here is their current website: www.arrow2000.ab.ca This site is undergoing massive revisions (using the powers of Cold Fusion of course... grins) and will likely integrate with the virtual museum concept at a later date. Thanks for any feedback. I think this project is a bit bigger than I thought when I first agreed to take it on, but hey, I gotta learn how to handle a project of this size sooner or later... __ Why Share?

RE: Phone App Server
Took a look at their web site. didn't see any details relating to CF. How does it work with CF??? tied into a web page? back end processing of the voice messages? web presentation of the recorded messages and managment items??? Just curious - we have an in-house developed phone system, it might be interesting to see how this relates...

Need clarification on Content Management
To me, Content Management is one of those terms which is used to describe a process, but leaves room for interpretation. If Content Management means what I think it does (web managed system for adding content to a web site), it could be useful. But does this mean the added content is HTML files? database fields presented in HTML? PDF files? Word files?, etc. I guess what I'm looking for is a system where a user can upload a file of any given format, and have the system automagically tie it into the public side of the site. Is this the purpose of Content Management? Thus far, to allow this type of features, I've been making the user enter the data into a web based form, which populates a database, and then presenting the data as required. Is there an easier way?? Thanks for any info... and I appologize for my ramblings... __ Why Share?
