Can I create a form with several HTML5 multi-file uploads and send to unique destinations?

2012-11-20 Thread Shawn McKee

I have a page where people need to be able to upload multiple files that go to 
different places. I can use:

input type=file multiple=multiple name=fileSet1 /
input type=file multiple=multiple name=fileSet2 /
input type=file multiple=multiple name=fileSet3 /

To get the files but once I get to the back end I'm stuck. Using CFFILE with 
action=upload only uploads the first file but at least I can send it to the 
right place. Using action=uploadall sends all the files to all the locations 
because I can specify a filefield value.

Obviously I could have one form for each file set but that gets tedious for the 
end user. Any suggestions?

RE: What determines session inactivity timeouts?

2006-04-26 Thread Shawn McKee
As developers do we have access to these session variables?  If so why not
just update them manually every so often during page processing?  You could
also over ride the system time out with a cfsetting tag for these specific
pages since you know they may run long.

The session's last accessed time is updated every time a page is hit,
and every time a session variable is read, written or removed. CF does
not attempt to keep the session active during page processing. If you do
have pages running longer than your session timeout, you'll either have
to increase the session timeout, or take a long hard look at those data
loading screens (?) and see if some of that can be pre-loaded and/or
cached.

Not that I have much JS experience, but here's a random thought - what
if you ran the JS in a hidden frame? The page could execute for as long
as it wanted to in the main (visible) frame, while your JS checker
script could continue to run in the hidden frame, and would still allow
a user to respond to session timeout warnings.

Subject: Re: What determines session inactivity timeouts?

Thanks Mike, but I was looking for a bit more granular detail - I know
that the page request resets the inactivity timer.  But that occurs at
the beginning of the page processing - I'm more concerned about what
happens after that point in order to keep the session active. Is CF
keeping the session active *during* the page processing, regardless of
whether there is any actual interaction with the session scope?  That's
really the crux of my question.

Every .cfm page request, regardless of session variable usage, within a

given application, resets that particular session's timeout counter.

CF's session management is related to the session cookies (cfid/cftoken

or the J2EE session) that are automatically set, by ColdFusion.  You do

not need to create your own session variables to continue the session.

CFDUMP the session and cookie scopes once you have enabled session 
management and you will see what is created.  Then, try a few things, 
like deleting the cookies, closing the browser, and you will see how CF

handles the session management.

Subject: What determines session inactivity timeouts?

What started out as a simple exercise has gone crazy.  All I wanted to 
do was to give my users a warning of impending session timouts and give

them the opportunity to refresh the session.  I tried using the 
CF_SessionWatch tag but it's a bit too simplistic - I used it to 
setup a JS call to set a timer for a few minutes less than the session 
timeout value, but if the user takes longer to respond (maybe they 
walked away from their PC) than the remaining session timeout, then 
when the user comes back and clicks on the yea I want to keep working

option, the resulting  attempt to touch a page in the app (to reset the

session
timeout) ends up causing the login page to come up (since by then the 
session vars have timed out), so now the user is real confused (because

he has his original page, as well as a login page in the pop-up
window).

So, I added a bit more JS so that when the warning pop-up comes up, it 
first sets a timer for about a minute less than the amount of remaining

session var time, and if *that* timer fires, then I log the user off 
and force the opener page to go back to the home page, and do a
window.close() to get rid of the pop-up window.

Sounds fine, right?  Here's my concern - what if the page that is 
executing takes longer to execute than the session timeout value?  Our 
server is set for 1 hour max timeout, and some of the data loading 
screens can take longer than that to run, especially when the CF or SQL

server is loaded.  I don't want to have it whacked in the middle of 
it's work by the session timeout checker.

So this leads to my initial question, which I've never thought about 
before even though I've been using session vars for years and years - 
what exactly constitutes inactivity in CF's perspective?  What if a 
long running page doesn't touch any session vars for a period of time 
greater than the session var timeout?  Is session activity defined by

a request being active, or by the actual touching of a session-scoped 
var? Do I need to have potential long-running pages periodically touch 
a session var?

I thought about moving the code for setting up the JS timers from the 
application.cfm file to orequestend.cfm, which wouldn't start up the 
timers until the page actually completes, but then that has

Don't use int(), use round().  int() truncates, and is equivalent to
the floor() (the inverse of ceiling()) function found in most

(0-4 goes down, 5-9 goes up).

cfdump var=#sqlexecutive# label=DataSource Factory
cfdump var=#datasources# label=DataSources
cfdump var=#drivers# label=Database Drivers

Currently the class file is in a path referenced by the specific CF
instance.  My Java developer feels that this is a class loader problem and
we are moving this class file to the same location as the system wide CF jar
files.

All of this works just fine in stand alone mode.

Variable names stored in database

2004-09-14 Thread Shawn McKee
I would like to store style sheet information in a database but need to be able to change some of the parameters on the fly.If a straight file doing the variable substitutions is no big deal.

cfquery name=specs datasource=#dsn#
SELECT
color
FROM
spec_table
WHERE
customer = 42
/cfquery

cfset variables.bgcolor = spec.color

cfoutput
style type=text/css
div.template1{
	width: 300;
	height: 250;
	border: 1px solid black;
	background-color : #variables.bgcolor#;
}
/style
/cfoutput

Yes I know I don't need to use the extra step in this case but if it is stored in a DB I need constant names in string.

So is it possible to store the style block ina DB and then do the variable replacement?

Data not retrieved as stored

2004-04-23 Thread Shawn McKee
MX 6.1, Oracle 9i, Linux.

We are in the process of supporting UTF-8 storage in our database and have fields that are UTF-8 but the base character set of the DB is still ASCII-7 and will remain that way.

If I do an update to an NVARCHAR field like this.

UPDATE
TAF_OFFER_REWARD_MASTER
SET
TORMAS_SHORT_DESCRIPTION = unistr(cfqueryparam cfsqltype=CF_SQL_NVARCHAR value='Fran\00E7ais)
WHERE
TORMAS_TAF_OFFER_REWARD_ID = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=CF_SQL_INTEGER value=55

It gets stored correctly which I have verified by doing an Oracle dump of the field.

0,46,0,72,0,61,0,6e,0,e7,0,61,0,69,0,73

This charcter is a lower case c with a circumflex but when I display it I just get a lower case c. The conversion appears to be happening either in the database or the driver. Any suggestions?

MX 6.1, Oracle 9i.

We are in the process of supporting UTF-8 storage in our database and have fields that are UTF-8 but the base character set of the DB is still ASCII-7 and will remain that way.

We have data stored where the original text entered looks like this.

Dear FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME:

 
Thank you for registering with NewsStand with the username of USER_ID.Ifyou have forgotten your password you may retrieve it by visiting http://newsstand.com/?fuseaction=login and clicking on FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD.

A stored procedure is used to insert the data and when I pull it back out I get a box between each letter, clearly the second byte.

The Application file has this.

cfscript
setEncoding(form, utf-8);
setEncoding(url, utf-8);
/cfscript
cfcontent type=text/html; charset=utf-8

and the doctype is:

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN CONTENT=text/html; charset=UTF-8

Is there a way to specify the character encoding of field that you are extracting from a database?Kind of like a queryparam on the select.

Subject: Bug? Problem with Oracle Stored Procedure

All

I am using ColdFusionMX 6.1 with Oracle9i (9.2)

I have been creating and referencing Oracle Stored Procedures all day 
long without a problem.And then this one of a kind procedure is giving 
me a problem.It is different than the others that I have created and 
used.This procedure only has one IN/OUT parameter which is a generic 
cursor type.All the other procedures that I have created required at 
least one numeric parameter and in IN/OUT generic Cursor parameter.

The following procedure is defined in an Oracle Package.
In the Package Specification:

---
-- Define a generic cursor type.
TYPE generic_curtype IS REF CURSOR;
/***
*
**/
PROCEDURE findAllFoliarHabits
(
p_FoliarHabitCur IN OUT Generic_CurType
);

---
In the Package Body:
/***
*
**/
PROCEDURE findAllFoliarHabits
(
p_FoliarHabitCur IN OUT Generic_CurType
)
AS
BEGIN
OPEN p_FoliarHabitCur FOR
SELECT *
 FROM FOLIARHABIT;
END;

-
This is the function defined in my CFC:
cffunction name=findAllFoliarHabits access=public 
returntype=query output=true displayname=Find all foliar habits. 
!--- ---
cfstoredproc rocedure=#variables.schema#.Taxon_GW.findAllFoliarHabits

*** But why am I getting this Error?The procedure takes only one 
argument which is a REF_CURSOR.So just for try, I add a bogus 
cfprocparam... to my procudure call and it worked!!!

This is the function with the extra bogus cfprocparam...

RE: The Value of CFQUERYPARAM

2003-12-08 Thread Shawn McKee
Doesn't it only recompile when the values change and queryparam gets around
that?I think if the values are constant there is no advantage to putting
them in a param, but that depends on if it recompiles every time or not.

I just talked to my Oracle DBA and if the query is all constants

 
SELECT M

WHERE W = 'huh'

 
it will get parsed once and put in the cache.

 
SELECT M
FROM S
WHERE W = '#url.k#'

Gets parsedevery time the contents of url.k changes

 
SELECT M

Is the solution for this because the QUERYPARAM is a bind variable that the

As far as I know, yes, it does recompile every time. And it is quite
intuitive, just look at the debug of what is sent to the DB server for
something like:

SELECT M
FROM S
WHERE W = '#url.k#'

and

SELECT M
FROM S
WHERE W = 'huh'

Assuming url.k is 'huh' you get the same thing sent to the DB server.
However, if you use cfqueryparam what is sent:

SELECT M
FROM S
WHERE W = ?

? = 'huh'

So the DB compiles (only once) the query and puts in 'huh' as the argument.
Summarizing it doesn't matter whatever 'huh' is static or from a variable,
it is still treated the same way. Also, it would help to remember that
#your_var_here# causes the value of the var to be printed and it becomes
static text.

Re:CF5 Scheduled Task on Linux

2003-12-04 Thread Shawn McKee
Did you ever get a solution for this problem.I am having a similar problem and wondered.I am gettin the details together and will post a more specific set of information shortly.

Shawn McKee
www.newsstand.com

I am having a serious problem with scheduled tasks on Linux and wondered if
anyone else has run into the same problem. I have gone through the archives
without finding anything like this.

Cold Fusion is stopping and restarting while running scheduled tasks. At
first, it will begin stopping and restarting every once in a while, and then
will stop / restart every time I call the task. I have verified this problem
with three separate installations of CF enterprise.

The specific error looks like this: 

Fatal,8200,02/21/03,11:10:57,,Caught a fatal signal (11) -
Aborting
Information,1024,02/21/03,11:10:58,,The ColdFusion Application
Server started.

I thought the problem was with the code, but I can run it from a browser
with no problem. The one thing that may be happening is a long timeout -
about six seconds every once in a while.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks,
M

CF5 Scheduled Task on Linux

2003-12-04 Thread Shawn McKee
We have a scheduled task that runs every 15 minutes and causes items to be
made available to our customers.This is a database intensive process.
Most of the day it runs just fine but lately it has started having problems.
A sample from the log files that looks strange to me is below.This is a
mix of the scheduler and server logs.What is missing here is that there is
no success message at the same time as the completion message.I have to
believe that something outside of the server and the CF code is the culprit
but I am at a loss as to what.Although it says it completed I know that it
has not because not all of the work got done.Also four seconds between
completion and a restart seems awful fast.

2003-12-0304:02:58Information1024 

The ColdFusion Application Server started.

Scheduled task 'update_display_times' for URL request
'http://secure-cm.aus-isp.newsstand.com/actions/act_update_display_times.cfm
' initiated.
The hardware is ... a Dell PowerEdge 2450. 256MB RAM, 512MB swap. Not sure
on the CPU speed, I think it is 650MHz PIII if memory serves.There are no
unusual additional processes running on the box.There is a system backup
going on at this time.

 
The only other symptom we have is the following in the server.stdout file.
My Java experts assure me this is not the cause but a reaction to the
shutting down of the system.

RE: CFMX and a collection loop problem

Here is what I am using now and it works.It is a listSort on the

cfset lastletter = '@' mailto:'@' 
cfloop list=#listSort(structKeyList(application.translate),
'textnocase')# index=field
cfif mid(field,1,1) NEQ lastletter AND mid(field,1,1) NEQ

Attempting to use structKeySort gets this error message.

Variable STRUCTKEYSORT is undefined.

CFMX and a collection loop problem

2003-11-25 Thread Shawn McKee
We store language translations for our site in an XML file that we load into an application variable like this.

cffile action="" file=#attributes.xmlfile# variable=wddxpacket
cfwddx action="" input=#wddxpacket# output=application.translate

In CF5.x we access via a loop to make an editing interface.

cfset lastletter = '@'
cfloop collection=#application.translate# item=field
cfif mid(field,1,1) NEQ lastletter AND mid(field,1,1) NEQ '1'
cfset lastletter = mid(field,1,1)
cfset anchorhref = '##'lastletter
cfoutput
input type=Radio name=letter value=#lastletter#  size=+1 color=##80#lastletter#/font
/cfoutput
/cfif
/cfloop 

This then prints out a nice list of the letters of the alphabet that have content.All works great in CF5 but under MX the fields are brought back in a pseudo random order.If I do a cfdump of the application variable it is just fine it is only inside the loop that I have problems.

The difference is how CFMX holds Structures compared to CF5

In CF5 it always held them in alphabetical order, but in CFMX, it stores
the as they are created (or how is see's them as being created)

Why not re-write it to create the available letters, then loop from A-Z
and check if they're in the list?

It awfully presumptuous for people who to suggest who Macromedia should

was just done. Macromedia already has an evangelist (Ben Forta) and a
community manager (Vernon Viehe). If you don't like them or what they do
that is one issue, but suggestion they hire someone else is simply not
the way to approach it.

Michael, if you really want to make a living working for the ColdFusion
community I suggest you either apply for a job with Macromedia through
the normal channels or better yet; start your own ColdFusion community
portal. If you make it the number one spot for ColdFusion developers to
go then I am sure you will be able to find plenty of ad revenue from
companies like Macromedia.

Right now, I pop up a separate window that then pops up the File Download
dialog.  However, the original window stays open even after the download is
complete and displays as a blank page.

I'm going to work on putting a Click Save on the File Download dialog box

Download a list of files to user

I have a page where a user selects a list of reports to download.  I would
like to kick of a series of download windows to send these to the user.  I
tried:

 pub_report_detail
  WHERE

   /cfloop
cfcatch type=Any
   cfdump var=#cfcatch#
/cfcatch
/cftry

But this has two problems.  It only gives one file from the list and it is
named with the name of the .CFM template.  I need the entire list downloaded
and I need to maintain the names.

Any help appreciated.

Subject: Download a list of files to user


I have a page where a user selects a list of reports to download.  I would
like to kick of a series of download windows to send these to the user.  I
tried:

   cfquery datasource=#dsn# name=rprtPath
  SELECT
 pub_report_path
  FROM
 pub_report_detail
  WHERE
 pub_report_id IN (#attributes.cndRprt#)  
   /cfquery
   
cftry
   cfloop query=rprtPath
  cfcontent type=application/unknown file=#pub_report_path#
deletefile=No
   /cfloop
cfcatch type=Any
   cfdump var=#cfcatch#
/cfcatch
/cftry

But this has two problems.  It only gives one file from the list and it is
named with the name of the .CFM template.  I need the entire list downloaded
and I need to maintain the names.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Dan,

Unfortunately afaik the closest JavaScript will let you get to actually
printing a file is opening the print dialog box and then the user would
have to hit the okay button to actually print the document...

I believe Flash MX may have a way to go directly to the printer, so you
should be able to create a very simple flash movie with a single text
area which you could populate with data from the flashVars param ( up to
64k ) and then go directly to the printer. You can probably even get the
Flash movie to fit 100% height and 100% width so the text would expand
to fill the browser window... :)

Not sure how many programming languages you have used but this is not all
that unusual with floating point numbers.  You need to do some work to get
the significant bits you care about if it really matters.  Doing equality
checks on floating point math is generally a problem.

For instance this:

script alert(12.1+.1+.1+.1);/script

On my system gives back 12.399 in Netscape and
12.398 in IE.

As I recall from my BASIC/FORTRAN/C/C++ days we generally multiplied by a
factor to move everything we cared about to the left of the decimal then
added .5, floored the whole thing and then divided it back by the factor.

Subject: RE: 4 million messages per hour - is it possible?


holly cow... 4 million geez...  I am not asking who this is for.. that's a
gross amount of emails...

First off, I haven't created such a tool...

Let's talk about theory here...

With CF you can expect how many simultaneous pages per second performance
wise? 50-100 on a nice box with tight code.. optimization, etc...

so let's be optimistic... 100 x 60 seconds = 6000 messages per minute
6000 per min * 60 minutes = 360, messages per hour... per box...

that's about 6 times the spool limit.. which is about 65k files...
putting that aside...

you need about 10-15 servers essentially with a distributed cooperative
pooling mechanism to handle this... ideally...

You also need a damn fast DNS or multiple local servers to reduce lookup
times...

Ideally, if you scrap the mail server need (which would be expensive,
clogged, nightmare) and utilized a CF friendly mail server like iMS and
ripped the mailing to a giant database table... had a scheduled event
whereby each machine grabbed a range, worked it and recorded status errors
etc to database and purged valid already mailed stuff or put in another
table..  and talked maybe directly SMTP versus the need of a server well
then it would be doable... recommend MySQL here... cheap and damn fast

but with the machines I mentioned... you might also need some good bandwidth
considering the volume of mail and the potential size of the emails
themselves...

That's my input...

Attempting crude MD5 check causing server to reboot.

2002-06-27 Thread Shawn McKee

I need one of two things from the experts here.  Either a way to do an MD5
check on a file that doesn't require reading the whole file in to memory or
a way to stop this code from either not successfully reading the output
files from the cfexecute or worse rebooting the server because an
exception is caught.

The goal here is to copy a set of directories across an NFS mount on a Linux
system and make sure all the bits made it across unmolested.  I am using
cf_local_to_local to do the copy.

I have tried various tricks to put a wait after the executes and before the
read but that doesn't seem to help either unless the wait is ridiculously
long and when I am copying thousands of files I can't afford five seconds
between writes.

cfexecute name=/usr/bin/md5sum
arguments=/topdir/abc/abc/abc/12345678/XYZ.pdf
outputfile=/topdir/cde/cde/abc/ck1.cfadm/
cfexecute name=/usr/bin/md5sum
arguments=/topdir/cde/cde/abc/12345678/XYZ.pdf
outputfile=/topdir/cde/cde/abc/ck2.cfadm/

cffile action=READ file=/topdir/cde/cde/abc/ck1.cfadm variable=ck1
cfoutput#ck1#/cfoutputbr

cffile action=READ file=/topdir/cde/cde/abc/ck2.cfadm variable=ck2
cfoutput#ck2#/cfoutput

cfset ck1 = Left(ck1, Find( /, ck1))
cfset ck2 = Left(ck2, Find( /, ck2))

cfset x = compare(ck1, ck2)

cfoutputbr|#x#|br
|#ck1#|br
|#ck2#|/cfoutput

 It's more like CFEXECUTE, except for the bugs. :)

I was unable to find CFX_Execute on the MM developer exchange... could you
email me a copy off list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or even just send me a

I stopped use the exchange ages ago because it never worked (cfml

Haven't looked in many many months. Anyway...

RE: Directory copies on UNIX systems

2002-06-21 Thread Shawn McKee

If I do this:

 cfexecute name=/bin/cp arguments=-R -p #dirName1# #dirName2#/fred
outputfile=#outName#/cpOut/cfexecute

where 'fred' doesn't exist I get this in the output file:

/bin/cp: cannot create directory `/ftp/ahb/ahb/bkm/fred': No such file or
directory

If it succeeds the file is empty

Neither case is a single integer.

Documentation says this:

outputFile - Optional. The file to which to direct the output of the
program. If not specified, the output is displayed on the page from which it
was called.

RE: Directory copies on UNIX systems

2002-06-21 Thread Shawn McKee

Good information, thanks.  But the core here was I do want a return code
from cfexecute which it doesn't appear to do, although a try/catch does
seem to give some useful information.

My work around to all of this has been a series of using cfexecute to do a
chmod on the files first to make sure the permissions are what I want, then
calling cf_local_to_local by Rizal Firmansyah to do the copy and then
finally cfexecute to do a chgrp at the end so that the correct people can
get to the files.

Shawn, I don't know how Linux works, but both GNU's cp and Solaris's cp
does this:

$ gcp -R -p /tmp/lwv /tmp/lwv26
$ 
 
In other words, no output is produced.  There is a $? return code that 
is 'returned' - but it's not output to stdout or stderr.

!--- de-serialize xml into application variable ---

   cfset attributes.readXML = false
/cfif

Then we use this to get the correct language out.  Client.langid is the
numeric position in the list where the correct text is at.  It is defined as
being the index of the language ID in the 1LANGCODE element of the table.  

cfoutput#listgetat(application.translate[2NDDOWNLOAD],Int(client.langid)
,|)#/cfoutput

We support English, German, Spanish and Italian at the moment.  Clearly we
also wrote a nice application that displays the whole table and lets us edit
it simply.

One of these days I am going to replace all of the LISTGETAT stuff with a
UDF that will guarantee that if the translated text doesn't exist we will at
least get the English back.

For any graphics we have different image subdirectories with those there.
images_en, images_es ...  The path is set in the app_globals (We use FuseBox
2.0) like this:

cfset attributes.imagespath = /images_#client.langcode#

Finally we check the language of the browser and default to the correct one
if it is supported otherwise we use English.  We have links on the site that
let the user change the language and we store that as a client variable so
we know the next time they come back what language they wanted.  It is also
stored in the database so if they log in from a new machine we can give them
the correct language.

Hi snifflebear!

You will need to use some sort of Content Management type of framework
where the content of your site is store in a database.  This way you can
translate all of the information and then display it in templates according
to the user's preference.

Rather than give you a lengthy explanation of what I have done with
something similar I leave you my email so that you can contact me directly
if you really are interested in hearing my 2 cents.  Feel free to email me

Subject: Bilingual App HELP!!

Hey guys, any of yall Familiar with the Houston International 
Festival?  Well it's like this festival that features music, dance, 
arts, and spotlights a different country every year.  Well this year 
that country is MEXICO.

And they want to have an English and Spanish version.  I would like 
some ideas on methods on approaching this.  Everything will be 
identical.  Layout, grpahics.  The only difference is the langage 
(and of course, text on the navigation buttons will change too).  But 
i was wondering if there are any veterans :)

Ideally, I would like to have only one copy, instead of an English 
copy and a Spanish copy.  That way they use the same CFM code.  A 
bulk of the site would be text and information.  So i was thinking 
maybe I can just set the text to variables, and display the correct 
language depending on their preference.  Just text only though!  
There will be only one HTML code, and only one CFM code to follow.  
So well, there you go!  I appreciate any input, humour, pity :)

RE: Phone Number Format

2002-05-17 Thread Shawn McKee

Here is a formatting tag we use for several things.  Stored in CustomTags as
format.cfm.  It is an old tag so please don't critique the details of the
coding.

Shawn McKee

!---
Purpose: Format a field with the given delimiter
Attributes:
type=ssn | phone | zip | cc -required
value=[value to be formatted] -required
var=[variable where you want the output stored] -default
formatVar
parents=yes | no -default yes -notes specifies if you
want parentheses around a phone #
delimiter=[value to use as a delimter, i.e .,-,(,)]
-default -
maskcc=yes | no -default yes will put in '*' for first
segments of cc number
Error Throws:
 If a required attribute isn't specified then an application
throw is done.
 To catch the error: put the tag in a try/catch format and
then process the error as you like.
Usage Notes:
 if installed under custom tags directory:
 cf_format type=ssn|phone|zip value=#form.phonenumber#
[var=#somevariable#] [parents=yes|no] [delimter=#delimiter]
 if installed in relative directory to your application:
 cfmodule template=#path#/format.cfm type=ssn|phone|zip
value=#form.phonenumber# [var=#somevariable#] [parents=yes|no]
[delimter=#delimiter]
 if this custom tag has thesame name as another tag in
custom tags directory:
 cfmodule name=#dir#.#dir2#.format type=ssn|phone|zip
value=#form.phonenumber# [var=#somevariable#] [parents=yes|no]
[delimter=#delimiter]
Misc. Notes:
 For dynamic variables you must only use local variables.
Other scoped variables will cause a run-time error.
 i.e, cf_format type=ssn value=#form.phonenumber#
var=form.phonenumber - this will cause an error.

If it could report search engines as well that would be really cool.

abandon their cart.

I'm thinking what I'll do is to capture the onunload

on unload I'll check to see if the user is leaving the
page via one of the links/forms on the page, or by
some other method. If it's by some other method, I'll
pop up the survey. I'll also disable the back button.

This won't capture all the abandonment, but it seems

popup when it's not supposed to.

I'd appreciate any alternatives and any suggestions to
make this less intrusive.

Back Button WAS: RE: checkout exit survey

2002-05-07 Thread Shawn McKee

The one place I would like to use it, and we have coded around it with
redirectors, is during a registration process.  I agree that the user wants
and needs the back button but there are limited places where the path needs
to be forward only and you give them a programmatic way to get back and
alter previously entered information.

Lower case file names - Was: MX and CustomTags again

Turns out there is a known problem with this and it is fixed in the next

Ok,

Have carefully considered what I want from CF, the most striking feature I
want to see is...

Stop treating empty list items as null.  That is a list of 3,5,,,3,2,2
should have a length of 7, instead of 5.  Doing this would nearly eliminate
the need for any field names like name=cost_#i#, since HTML sends back
3,5,,,3,2,2 for duplicate text fields named cost anyways.

RE: CSS and Netscape - was(CSS and dynamically changing classes)

2002-04-16 Thread Shawn McKee

It completely conflicts with the standards concept.  The point is to get
everyone on board with a feature rich set of standards.  If, as a web
designer/developer, you choose to use proprietary features of one browser
then don't complain when you loose customers because they don't use the
browser you prefer or when you have to code work around's to support
multiple browsers.

I don't know that IE is any more compliant than NS.  I do feel it is more
forgiving of poor programming.  I typically build for NS and most everything
then works in IE.

This doesn't directly align with the standardization argument, but it still
bespeaks a major disadvantage of NS.  What about mentioning that it's
difficult for us to reccommend the NS browsers to our Intranet type clients
because it doesn't offer the same rich non-standard features that IE does?
In those environments we can expolit IE coolness, but what does NS offer in
comparision?

Currency Localization

2002-04-16 Thread Shawn McKee

The CF docs for lsCurrencyFormat says that 100,000.00 (US Style) converts as
follows in Italian:

Italian (Standard)
Local: L. 10.000.000
International: ITL10.000.000
None: 10.000.000 
 
lsNumber format gives me:

 10,000

Although for the input I have to drop the ,.

An Italian I know says that the number above would be represented as
100.000,00 in Italy.

Is this a known issue with the localization functions or is it related to
trying to represent US currency in a non-US localized format?

cfexecute

2002-03-21 Thread Shawn McKee

In order to make our service a little faster we use caching servers around
the world to store content.  We want to place the content on the servers as
soon as it is available and the cache owners provide a method to do this via
Telnet.  Does anyone have a method to run a Telnet session from within CF?
A CFX presumably.  

If not our first solution was to create a Perl script and execute it with a
cfexecute call.  The problem here is that I have to sit and wait for the
job to finish before moving on and that can take awhile.  Is there a way to
walk away from a cfexecute without ending up with a bunch of defunct
jobs on the server?

Thanks.  The CFHTTP solution works like a champ.

It is possible to spawn a task.

Use CFEXECUTE to start a new thread.  The code in that thread just goes
about it's business while the calling page can continue.

http://cfhub.com/forum//index.cfm?Fuseaction=ThreadTopicID=1037start=1

It is also possible (and even better in some cases) to use CFHTTP to call
the worker file but set the timeout in the CFHTTP tag to like one
second.  Now your calling page starts the remote script... then just
ignores it after the timeout.  The worker thread goes about it's business as
does your calling page.



 If not our first solution was to create a Perl script and execute it with
a
 cfexecute call.  The problem here is that I have to sit and wait for the
 job to finish before moving on and that can take awhile.  Is there a way
to
 walk away from a cfexecute without ending up with a bunch of defunct
 jobs on the server?

RE: Verity and PDF's

What OS?  The Verity included with CF 5 won't index PDF's on a UNIX box.

If they were created on a Mac, (my memory is hazy - its been 3 years for
this...) using Acrobat or Distiller, I think the Mac's default is/was to
save ONLY the graphic portion (not text and graphics). A simple setting
change on the control panel can fix/change this. (for any new PDFs).

that's a good question, I do not know.
The graphics department does them and uploads them
will have to ask.
if they are from images...that would splain it

thanks for the tip

Well, do the PDFs contain text, or are they PDFs created from images?

If the PDFs were created from TIFF (or other) images, and there is no text
data in the PDF, the search engine is not going to find anything useful in
them.

Just a thought,

Then what's the secret?
The code works just fine for .doc,.xls,.ppt but NOT for .pdf!
it finds all of the others EXCEPT the pdf's.

no errors...just no PDF's.

I understand that the version of verity that comes with CF 4.5 will not
see pdf's (is this correct?).
If correct, is there a patch? or workaround with verity?
