there are two files here, homesitetags.zip and homesiteextensions..zip

there is under homesiteextensions an empty tagDefs tree but no VTM's

homesitetags contains vtm's for pre MX tags presumably updated... but 
there's no cfcomponent.vtm for example

so still no joy

sounds like you want to re-invent the wheel... everything you describe 
here about wanting over normal xml is provided by wddx WDDX is a 
xml as for node names it's more complex in xml than plain old cf 
structures... wddx rocks and it just plain works and is widely supported 
outside cf

what makes text areas more difficult is they aren't treated like a

store them in a session structure keyed on the query criteria, or if the

use arrays for such stuff, structs are better because they can be
accessed via keys, not just numbers you will also have to manage

do a left outer join on RentalWaivers in the query and then do a check 
that where UW.ClientID is null (if, this is standard perfomance 
improvement anyway as it uses a index...)

"not in" is actually a real bad performance killer... this technique is 
found in most good oracle books... should work for mysql but i don't know

http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/ produces pdfs using html 3.2, no

the ie option which is slower and no 100% perfect... there a tag in the

thats for 'production' servers with static code bases, ie cold fusion

no, structures would be faster would be
faster...though where you use the

load dataset1 into a structure
load dataset2 into a structure

loop over dataset2
if (NOT structkeyexists(dataset1,dataset2.id))
structdelete(dataset2,dataset2.id);

or not deleete etc

this is faster because the lookup is random, ( reminds be of basic data
handling in MBASIC on my old CP/M box) structures are always faster for 
random access

the array approach too much overhead, ie looping over 
dataset1.recordcount  dataset2.recordcount times

so 500 x 500 25 loops!

above ends up being 1500 loops

a simple example .. passing the column name instead of a value

delete from comments where comment_id = #comment_id#

which when #comment_id# = comment_id

means

delete from comments where comment_id=comment_id

or as comment_id=comment_id is always true

actually becomes  delete from comments  neat huh?

or with users

update  user

ok gotta run, times short in a second but off the top of my head

i would loop over the query first and then make each parentid a 
structure containing the items



item_struct=StructNew();




if (NOT structkeyExists(item_struct,qry_items.parentId) )
item_struct[qry_items.parentId]=structnew();

item_struct[qry_items.parentId][qry_items.itemid]=qry_items.currentrow; 



now everything is grouped by parentid

now we know that the items in item_struct[0] are the first level,
you could then loop over the collection



if ( structkeyExists(item_struct,child) )
// yes there are children add to the to be processed list
else
// no it's just a member with no children



and so on... sorry time ran out

I agree with matt, are you working on the maketree tag in cf? lets talk 
examples...

do you modify the array, ( ie inserting or deleting array members other 
than from the end?) if not then u could index the array using structures


 item_array=ArrayNew(1);
 item_struct=StructNew();




x=arraylen(item_array);
item_array[x]=qry_item.item;
item_struct[qry_item.item]=x;



find where dog is in the array = item_struct["dog"] or item_struct.dog

this method is so fast scaling the dataset makes almost no difference in 
speed

now you can always find the position of x in the array using the struct,
this of course doesn't handle very well adding elements to the aray

ideally I would try to eliminate arrays all together... esp when u 
consider that have 2 values in a struct, the key and the value

ok, it depends on what we are talking about, I would usually use a 
single depth structure, ie kinda of denormalising the data structure... 
to provide an indexing function, that returns references, know what i mean?

structfindvalue isn't going to be using hashing in cf is it? ie a full 
table scan... my approach is only to work via struct keys, as they are 
hash indexed

anyway, throw some of your code up and we can explore the ideas...

cf loses track of the currentrow when nesting, you need to track it, ie

isn't structkeyexists better than structfindvalue? as our jedi friend

agreed for simple stuff, but wget is much, much more than a simple http

if you are uploading via a web form, u can use the browser to get the

anyone know what w2k & ntfs5 's optimal file count per directory is?

ie I have 1,000,000 files, splitting them in to dirs with 5000 files, or
1000 files per directory... this is for cfcontent returned content,
linked to a db with a security check, so human usability/readabilty is

that is the right approach, you need the info in the db for the

using an xml parser in cf 5 or native in MX, you can convert an xml 
document into a dom object... like a tree of objects or structures of 
structures

take an xml document and convert it to dom

you end up with an complex array of array's and structyure and variables...

a good example is rss.. rss is really simple syndication, except that so 
many people can't read a spec and produce well formed or valid rss files

see this link here for a good working example

http://static.userland.com/gems/backend/sampleRss.xml

ok... rss should be something like


 etc




and so on...

but sometimes you get no channel and only items

so you can load the xml into a dom under a var called rss and then say

rss.channel.item=rss.item

then if you have modified the xml structure or "transformed" it

apparently one of the problems with XSL as an approach performance wise 
is something to do with the way that it progressively processes the xml

you can do amazing stuff with xml and css, write a style sheet which

now if only we could get everyone to upgrade to mozilla.. then life

like always, cache your results, if it's possible, most likely the

cache to application vars or write out txt files

honestly the best advice here is don't re-invent the wheel.. use 
cfexecute and dig from sendmail/bind or maybe a java class

this code using dig will give u really detailed info about dns




soa_pos=FindNoCase("SOA",dig_out,1);
if (soa_pos gt 0){
soa_server=ListGetAt(dig_out,2," ");
request.mod.dnsdig.status=1;
} else {
// name server soa not found!
soa_server="";
request.mod.dnsdig.status=-1;
}





the short explanation is SOA is the master server for a domain, u can 
only get the detailed info from the master server, you first get the SOA 
server, then u query the SOA server for the domain info


is there a reason why you don't want to use custom tags??? what are u 
wanting to do?

Re: Returning columns with null values when specific columns are unknown at runtime

[Zac Spitzer]

null values are not indexed btw. (maybe thigs have changed in the last 
few years but) using a value like 0 as a quasi null means that

select user_id from users where b_sysadmin is null

versus

select user_id from users where b_sysadmin = 0

do an explain plan in oracle or execution plan in sql server, the second 
can use an index, the first cannot, which means the db server has to do 
a full table scan ( slow, expensive )

there are tricks to use a join in oracle to get around this

ok some simple maths, a uuid is what 30 chars or something, that means a 
join using two tables with lets say 1 and 3000 rows.. that means a 
query between the two is going to be working with either 13000 bytes or 
13000 * 30 bytes just to join data... the answer there is that you are 
working with 30 times the amount of data, sure there is some optimzation 
but the logic goes further..

each index requires space, both memory and disk space... db's usually 
try and cache the indexes in ram sure the db can probably do some 
magic here and the difference is not 30 times in processing speed..but 
you will still need 30x more cache for your indexes but then each of 
pages will then contain x * content links * 30 more data, which means 
more transfer between your db and webserver, more bandwidth costs as all 
your pages are then bigger...

UUID's ( maybe OT)

[Zac Spitzer]

I am probably OT here, but I see so many people using UUID's when
simpler normal numeric keys are better... a classic example for me is 
article id's... look at cfcomet for example... the article ids aren't 
user friendly, it reminds me of good old lotus notes and we all know how 
short urls are better than long one ( email wrapping for example )

not to mention that your database and CF load is much higher using  long 
text pk's than with nice short numeric keys and your page size is 
increased a lot too..

just letting off steam. don't want to create a flame war or anything

never do to much work in cf when your database can do it faster

http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=8866 is a really nice and simple 
method for doing trees it stores an id path for each node in your 
tree, automatically, that why you can do a query like (see example on 
page above) select node where lineage contains '/#target_node_id#' to 
return a specific part of the tree

If your recursive function is relatively simple, you can
probably write it
as a CF 5-compliant user-defined function, using
CFSCRIPT.
CFSCRIPT is a tag
in which you can write CF commands using a
JavaScript-like language, which
uses the same syntax and control flow structures as
JavaScript, but uses
CFML operators and expressions. You can't use CFML tags
within a CFSCRIPT
tag, though, and CFSCRIPT doesn't support all the things
you can do with
CFML tags, such as querying a database. Keep in mind
that the host would
have to be using CF 5 or higher for this to work.

Alternatively, you could write a recursive custom tag.
However,
this is the
least desirable alternative, as custom tags don't
provide any built-in
ability to return values (you can write that ability
into your
code, though)
and they tend to negatively affect performance.
Nevertheless, if you need
recursion and you're using a version of CF prior to 5,
that's the only way
you can do it within CFML.

any chance of configuring the screen size or color depth? the thing is 
it uses the current screen config.. it would be great to make this work 
in 8bit for example, the resulting image and also memory usage/speed 
would really improve

what's your application requirements? :-) mysql is not a full blown

the only time that plays a role is with query caching.. cfqueryparam 
means you can't cache the query at a cfquery level.. the name is tied to 
the query for "binding" so the query text and execution plan is cached 
at the database level.. from memory this is per template.. so as you are 
using the same names in different templates, it doesn't matter

sorry i thought you wanted to append a record to an existing dataset in 
a comma delimted file..

then from what I understand... then u need to load the data into cf as a 
query... either with a text odbc driver (best, fastest) or using list 
functions or something

then simply loop of the data with cfloop and do sql inserts using 
cfqueryparam to keep things running fast...

if this is any kind of large/regular process then u should look into

feel free to make a nice cfx around this..  or at least change the code

a couple of hints

u need to create a .url file to pass to the thumbnailer
the file is 16 bit bmp, not the best format
I then convert it to png, shave off the border and trim the image and
