RE: Re: Content Management System
Well, there's a "total cost of ownership" issue here...Spectra would take far more time (and money) to implement than a more "out of the box" solution like Ektron or LayerIT. So the big question that remains unanswered is what is the total budget for the project? If the software acquisition is restricted to $500 or less, than I suspect that the labor costs are equally restrictive.

RE: Got an opinion on MM Contribute?
Well, I think you need to quantify "A LOT" I've actually reviewed both products extensively (The CFDJ CommonSpot review is located here: http://www.sys-con.com/coldfusion/articlea.cfm?id=520). Dave Watts and I are collaborating on a MSCMS review. In the case of CommonSpot, the entry point starts around $20K for ten dedicated content contributors. Microsoft Content Management Server starts at $40K, licensed by CPU. So, there is a significant difference in licensing models -- and upfront cost. The fact is, though, that CommonSpot is as close to an "out of the box" solution as I have seen in a CMS package -- meaning that not much additional programming is required (generally) to deploy a feature-rich site. We've been quite successful with deploying CommonSpot with low and mid-range customers (check out http://www.heritage.org, http://www.ndm.edu/, http://www.ceworld.org , http://www.usbg.gov ) and even use it internally for our own sites (http://training.figleaf.com) Microsoft CMS more closely resembles a "framework" (a la Spectra). So there's a huge developer API that you can take advantage of, but be prepared to write A LOT of .NET code to get very far (thus adding more to the total cost of ownership). The principal advantages of MSCMS arise when you adopt the entire MS platform including Win2K, SQL Server, SharePoint and MS Commerce Server. Microsoft is continuing to build on these integration points which may ultimately lead to a compelling total integrated "enterprise" CMS solution. They've still got quite a bit of work to do...but it's clear that this is where they're headed. So, the real question is -- what are your present and projected future CMS requirements? Will CommonSpot fit the bill? If so, it should definitely be less expensive over the short-term. If your organization is planning on completely standardizing on the MS server suite, then MSCMS is probably a better choice -- but make sure you add .NET developer training into your budget -- and get ready to drink the .NET Kool-aid!

RE: Got an opinion on MM Contribute?
Yeah, I'd pretty much concur with Matt. I've been working with Contribute extensively recently (as part of a larger seminar that I'm delivering this week in DC and Atlanta -- for more info, see http://training.figleaf.com/figleaftraining/Courses/freecms.cfm) It's really quite good -- for the limited functionality that it offers. Contribute works best if fed templates created through Dreamweaver. Basically, DW templates allow you to restrict which areas on a page are editable. Also, you can add a limited amount of conditional logic to render or not render areas of a page. Contribute's core strength (in my opinion) is that it offers non-technical contributors the first available HTML Wysiwyg editor that is good for content AUTHORING. Every DHTML editor that I have seen really isn't quite up to the task of full-blown content authoring. Most end-users usually wind up cutting, pasting, and cleaning data from MS-Word via the web-based editor. With Contribute, I find myself authoring large documents almost as easy as if I was working with MS Word. I think Contribute's biggest asset is its sheer simplicity. Gone is the overly complicated Dreamweaver UIin fact, the functionality is even pared down from what you might find in Ektron's eWebEditPro or Microsoft Frontpageand that's a good thing for the target audience that is being addressed here. This is an application that I would have no reservations about foisting on my VERY NONTECHNICAL parents to manage their grandchild's photos. Of course, there are some very significant drawbacks to Contribute. First, it doesn't support a true workflow & approval process -- Contribute users may post directly to a web WITHOUT the approval of a supervisor. Also, contribute is a traditional fat-client application -- you'll need to install it on every contributor's workstation (although MM has done a good job in making this a relatively painless process). In this release, access to the web is only available via FTP and windows networking (a bit disappointing to us running RDS). The biggest limitation, however, is that the content is completely stored on the file system. There's no server-side interactivity with contribute -- and making big changes to your templates through Dreamweaver may have unwanted side effects on your content...also you don't get any full-text searching, database integration, separation of content from formatting, automatic notification, content subscription, etc..etc... If you're creating a personal web or maybe you're a non-profit organization on a tight budget with a very small (under 50 page) website to maintain, then I think Contribute could be a very good deal. Otherwise, you might want to step-up to Ektron's CMS 100/200/300 product line, CommonSpot 3.1, or another system that offers "true CMS" functionality. Oh yeah, keep in mind that while a copy of Dreamweaver isn't required per se to create a Contribute site, it sure will help...a lot.

Actually, $99 per seat is pretty good for a lot of organizations. Remember that CT is not a content management system in the vein that one here would construct one. It is a content editor in the static HTML of a file. If your pages are all made up dynamically, there is still plenty it is good for, but it won't be your CMS for the site.

using netscape 4, then do view-source) to get a sense of what real PAIN is
like!

RE: Flash MX with CFMX - is this possible?
Basically, on the CFMX side, you might have this in a .cfc file:
#arguments.sql#
Then, on the Flash side, you might have something like this:
/***
included ActionScript files
***/
#include "NetServices.as"
#include "NetDebug.as"
#include "DataGlue.as"
/* various routines to call services, perform population of flash components
*/
execsql_pb.execSql = function() {
dsnDataService.sqlExecute(dsn_lb.getSelectedItem().label,sql_txt.text);
}
sqlresults_dg.populate = function(qobj) {
sqlresults_dg.setDataProvider(qobj);
}
function sqlExecute_result(result) {
sqlresults_dg.populate(result);
}
/* flash remoting declarations */
var cpath = "http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway";;
var net_conn = NetServices.createGatewayConnection(cpath);
var dsnDataService = net_conn.getService("sqltoolflash.cfc.sqltool",this);
/* interface initialization */
execsql_pb.setClickHandler("execSql",execsql_pb);
-
Note: sqlresults_dg represents a datagrid instance

RE: Urgent : GURU Required: Excel vs COM in CFMX
Uh, yah...that was me once again proving the first law of software development which clearly states... "Any code I wrote six months ago I'd like to officially disown" However, during that presentation I also presented CSS and delimited text-based solutions using CFCONTENT that in many cases achieved the same goals. I also issued the Microsoft disclaimer about using COM and said that I thought it would be OK for small, low-traffic use in specialized instances where you needed to get something done quickly and didn't have time to reverse engineer Microsoft's various file formats (RTF in particular). Under these circumstances, and assuming that you're going to stick with CF 5 for the next six months, you can probably stick it out until office 11 debuts and consider a migration strategy at that point in time...or, you can continue to support a CF 5 server that runs Office through COM. However, if you're writing new code or want to migrate to CFMX earlier, look to the future. Ah yes, on to Microsoft Powerpoint... I don't have a lot of information about it at this time -- it doesn't get nearly as much coverage on MSDN as other MS Office components and my presentation track owner at Devcon (you know who you are!) felt that there wouldn't be any interest in how to create dynamic powerpoint documents from CFso the example got dropped. Anyway, there is a text-based file format that Powerpoint does support...and like most text-based file formats from Microsoft, it's somewhat complex, but ultimately parseable. The format, believe it or not, is HTML! Now I haven't actually created a production example, but it seems to me that it should be possible to use CF to create a dynamic powerpoint web archive (.mht). You can take a look at the format by saving any pre-existing powerpoint file as a web archive and then inspecting the contents of the generated file.

RE: Urgent : GURU Required: Excel vs COM in CFMX
Yeah, the problem is that you're using COM to connect to Excel. As has been previously mentioned several times on various boards, COM is dead. Microsoft has abandoned COM, ColdFusion MX doesn't support COM particularly well due to its new architecture, and invoking Excel as a COM object on the server isn't even supported by Microsoft under ASP: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q257757&ID=kb;en-us; Q257757&FR=1 So, just say no to COM. I'm actually lecturing about this topic at Devcon in a few days. Your viable options are as follows: 1) Simple data can be sent to Excel as delimited fields 2) More complex data can be represented as HTML or XML and loaded directly into Excel (especially Excel 10/XP) 3) Use the Office XP web control to embed MS-excel functionality in your web pages (assuming the end user owns a license of XP) 4) Use Excel's web query features, or use CF to create a web query file 5) Create a web service in CFMX that is accessible to Excel as a web client Regards, Steve Drucker CEO Fig Leaf Software > -Original Message- > From: Daryl Fullerton [mailto:Daryl.Fullerton@;biznet-solutions.com] > Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 7:52 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Urgent : GURU Required: Excel vs COM in CFMX > > Folks / Guru's > > Hi, Wonder if there are any CFMX / Excel COM gurus out there that could > help. > > Much appreciated if anyone knows what is causing the below or can > recommend a fix. > > Cheers > > D > ColdFusion Usergroup Ireland Manager > > E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > W: http://www.cfug.ie > > > -Original Message- > From: Eric Zumot > Sent: 24 October 2002 11:46 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Excel vs COM in CFMX > > > I have been facing big difficulties in using COM Objects to access > Excel, (Platform Win2000, Office2000, CFMX).

If all of your users have Excel, then you might look into using the Microsoft Office web components.

RE: page break when printing
As far as I know, page break styles are not supported by Netscape 4.x.
They
may be supported by Netscape 6.x, but I have yet to run into any
corporate
clients that have adopted this browser platform.
The presentation, available on www.cfugorama.com, provides solutions
for
converting an HTML document with IE styles (including page breaks) into
Microsoft Word RTF and Adobe PDF files in order to serve Netscape 4.x
clients.

www.cfugorama.com
Here's a new CF Resource site - www.cfugorama.com We built it using a ColdFusion based content management solution called COMMONSPOT. I believe that for many firms, CommonSpot finally delivers on the promise of cost-effective content management. It's template-based approach, 30+ built-in formatting elements (including breadcrumb navigation, hierarchical menus, tab-bars, flash-support), pre-defined workflows, 15 predefined page layouts, powerful search capabilities, and expandability options through standard ColdFusion coding practices make it uniquely suited for many organizations unwilling to bet on more expensive monolithic initiatives. Full Disclosure: Fig Leaf Software is a Paperthin/CommonSpot Value Added Reseller. Commonspot pricing ranges from $25K - $85K based on number of content contributors. Please be patient as we continue to add content daily. Lots of cool, free examples are now available in the LIBRARY section.

RE: javascript vars to cf vars?
Well, I'd suggest taking MM's new Fast Track to JavaScript course which deals with the topic of JS-CF integration, frames, etc... There is certain information about the browser DOM which is not echoed as part of the ColdFusion accessible CGI variables. Screen width is not echoed (although, I seem to remember screen res being echoed as part of IE 3.x?!). I think that if I were in your shoes, I'd just capture the info on a faux index.htm page and send it to a ColdFusion server page for evaluation like so...

RE: Need decryptor tag for CFUG presentation
Well, I believe the current federal guidelines indicate a STATUTORY $100K per incident fine for the type of copyright infringement you are describing. Time to find an attorney. -S -Original Message- From: Todd Ashworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 08, 2001 8:11 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Need decryptor tag for CFUG presentation There is a very grey line here .. maybe. Take this real life example: We had a father/son team that worked for my company. The father was one of the ones who helped start the company and greatly responisble for making it successful durring its startup phase. As the company grew, the ideas about how it should continue differed between one of the founders and the father. The father eventually left on somewhat 'bad' terms. Soon after, his son also left the company .. also on somewhat bad terms. The father joined a company that made similar, but not competing products. Soon after, that company decided to make a competing product. Luckily, the father knew the industry, but not how the product was made. Unfortunately, the son worked on the product itself and knew a fair bit about how it worked. The son had some copies of the compiled code. He and a buddy managed to reverse engineer it and (as far as we know), deliver the source code to the competing company so they could "learn how the program worked". I'm sure the intent was to learn how we did things and, ahem, build on those ideas. Was this just leanring from another developer to learn how to dome something better, or, was it plain code theft. Is there a difference in this case (they were using a different language)?Luckily, they weren't too bright and wasted time building a product for a market that was already at least 50% saturated (a lot for market share among government agencies ;), so they weren't much of a threat .. but still Now .. most would certainly agree that this is just flat out wrong, ethicly as well as legaly, but the grey area is .. how wrong is it, ethicly, to reverse engineer a program to learn how another developer accomplished something so that a particular way of doing things can be learned to build a non competing product?

RE: CFSouth notes
Just to clarify -- 1) Harpoon CFML custom tags will ship with the product unencrypted 2) Harpoon SWF and FLA files will also be shipped with the product 3) Fig Leaf's port of WDDX to ActionScript (wddx.as) will also be supplied, although I believe that we made it available some time ago through the Macromedia web site. 4) Besides the objects mentioned in Jon's original posting, Harpoon will also contain a popup calendar date selector 5) The "graphing and reporting" mentioned has no direct relation to Harpoon 6) The "Fire and Ice" roller coasters at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure were totally killer. -S -Original Message- From: Jon Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2001 11:07 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFSouth notes I just returned from CFSouth and wanted to share a couple of things that we learned about Harpoon, CF5, and Neo. CF5 Features: User Defined Functions Incremental Page Layout - Dont know what this is all about... Application Deployment - Apparently Allaire is developing a product called Harvest that will be rolled into CF. Harvest provides "Multi-server management and monitoring, application deployment capabilities and service level reporting." CFSQL - I asked an Allaire guy what the advantages of CFSQL were, I was told that a query could be application or session scoped and then you could essentially query an in memory database. I asked if the cfsql engine would be more efficient than looping over an app. or session scoped array. He responded that cfloop was the second slowest tag in CF, but didn't have a firm answer. Graphing and Reporting - Perhaps a reference to Harpoon? No details were given. SNMP MIB Interface! - This is really cool, but I didn't get a chance to ask any questions about this, and it wasn't elaborated on. Enhanced database drivers - hmmm Maybe they are just supporting more db's... Logfile analyzer - Sounds cool, there are quite a few 3rd party utils that provide this now. I wonder what Allaire's will do. That's about all that was said, no mentions of a new Studio to go along with CF5. Where there is smoke Also what wasn't metioned was if Harpoon would be included with CF5, unless I missed it. Harpoon Features: Perhaps the coolest thing about Harpoon is that it uses WDDX to pass data to Flash. Since all the source code for Harpoon is going to be available for free, we should now have a Flash 5 Actionscript WDDX parser! One of the overall goals of Harpoon was to replace a lot of the java applets that have been included in CF since 3.0 that we are familiar with. So many of the java appliets have been done in flash now. The tags that Steve Drucker went over were: Navigation Toolbar - There is a programmable top navigation toolbar, that looked pretty neat. We should be able to bang out a nice flash nav in a couple of minutes now. Calculator - The ever popular calulator app, can be presented to the user to calculate something then fill in a form field or whatever. Tree - This is the one I am most interested in. I think trees suck, but clients request them for som reason. The flash tree also uses a dynamic loading scheme that only loads the data requested. Grid - A working replacement for cfgrid, very nice looking. Lot's of new features. Dropdown - Some kind of flash dropdown menu or something. All of the different tags were gone over really quickly and I missed it if this one was elaborated on. A public beta will be available next week, so we can all check it out. Also keep in mind that the Harpoon objects are Flash 5 only, so users will probably need to install the plug-in. Steve also mentioned a couple of urls for Harpoon reference and general flash help: http://demo.figleaf.com http://flashlite.net http://flash.central.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com The only things that were mentioned about Neo that I thought were interesting was that Neo will compile our current and future CF apps into Java servlets. That means they should be platform independant! That also means much increased performance. The server does not have to compile the page into pcode before executing. Just execute an already in memory servlet. What was nice to learn, was that all current CF applications, will run in Neo. Not to metion perform much better. Neo will also support Unicode finally (that is kind of assumed since it will be a java platform though), so we should finally have more international CF developers among us in the future. That is about it, it was great and I cant wait for the big conference this year coming to Orlando also. As far as extracurricular activities go, if you are coming to the Devcon later this year. Orange St. in Orlando is a great place to go and do just about anything. I was able to locate a kicking club called The Red Door by the locals because they cant decide on a name.

RE: Macromedia and Allaire to Merge -- A couple examples of mixin g technologies
I'm afraid that Dave gave out the url of a very early prototype that we created over a year ago using Flash 4 and CF...the demo (with code ripped from the production app) is actually located here... http://www.figleaf.com/development/flash4/orgchart/orgchart.cfm This demonstrates the use of Flash and CF to create an org-chart interface. You can lookup users by name (passing information to a CF page for data retrieval) and then drag names into the appropriate locations on the chart. Clicking the Save button passes the information back to CF for DB processing. A couple additional benefits are that the org chart dynamically resizes based on browser resizing and the EXACT SAME CODEBASE works on Netscape 4.x and Internet Explorer... Other data-driven demos are available at http://www.figleaf.com/figleafhome/flash/ and the Harpoon project is all about creating data-driven Flash business objects from CF. At the ACFUG and ChiFug this month, I will be demonstrating using CF, Flash, Spectra, and Generator for content management purposes. This compelling mix of technologies is what we feel will drive the web in the future. Is it a panacea? No...but it does deliver many compelling advantages.

RE: Macromedia and Allaire to Merge
Ah...what might have been! The textual content could have been managed by Spectra/CF with the Flash objects being dynamically updated by Generator...as Fig Leaf has done successfully in several implementations. The logging of dynamic content items could have been accomplished through a variety of services -- including Spectra's Business Intelligence systems.

The acquisition of Allaire by Macromedia
I think you guys are way off-base with your comments about Macromedia's acquisition of Allaire. Having worked very closely with both companies directly on joint technology initiatives (Harpoon), fused their products together for consulting projects (intranet for T-Rowe Price using CF, Spectra, Flash, Generator), and developed much of their training course materials (Flash, Generator, Spectra) there's no question that the joining of these two great companies will result in a web solutions vendor powerhouse. Will Macromedia kill off CF? Of course not! Consider the following: -Macromedia spent a great deal of effort developing visual tools for CF (Dreamweaver UltraDev) -Macromedia currently has a hole in their lineup for an application server--filled nicely by CF -Their flagship server product, Macromedia Generator, currently relies on Allaire's JRUN -Both Allaire and Macromedia have made a considerable investment in the Harpoon initiative demonstrating how to link CF and Flash -Macromedia earlier acquired the LikeMinds personalization system to fill out their E-Business platform -- to which they can now add Open-Sesame and add direct hooks to their new app server -- CF! CF isn't going away -- in fact, with the added resources of Macromedia, I expect a totally killer integrated e-business development platform is in our not-so-distant future.

From what I had been hearing on the beta forums, I had thought that 5 was well under development (isn't release planned for fall 2001?) Would MM kill something that is so close to release (relatively speaking...) since 6 is just vaporware right now no? ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
