RE: How to handle Calendar Scheduling of Recurring Events?
I wrote an app that allows the user to enter a start date, and an end date the code then calculates the number of days between those date (inclusive) and then uses that number to create calendar dates for a particular event (leave or training). It also subtracts out weekends (sat and sun) for display purposes. It's kinda crude (I am fairly new to CF) and the code looks U.G.L.Y...but it does work.

Rick: One way I did it in a previous application was to have the person select the duration of the event...If it was a single day event, the start date end date were the same in the DB. Then, in the field below, I would ask what days it occurs on (ie. Monday, Tuesday, etc.) The values for each check box were the numerical values of the day of the week. Then, when the calendar processes, it checks each day that it's displaying if there are any events...It would then find that all those days there might be something to display. Then check to be sure that the current day it's processing is selected for weekdays. Let's say the event went from 1/6/03 to 1/13/03 and the user select M,W,F. The way I had the calendar setup was that for each day it would search the database...So for 1/1, call to the db check for events, 1/2, call to the db check for events, etc. Once it got to 1/6, it would see that there's an event that it might be able to display...Then it checks the weekday values and sees that the 6th is a Monday and falls within what the user defined...Then onto 1/7...it would then find that it does fall within the time span, but Tuesday's not listed...And so on...

Hi, all. I was wondering about the various approaches that have been taken to scheduling recurring events in a calendar? I haven't worked with auto-insertion of recurring events, but now is the time for my calendar creation to become more sophisticated. Should I insert data for one-time events in one table and data for recurring events in another with the user specifiying daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, etc...and have code that checks that table and auto-inserts those events when the day/dates are checked? How would I handle the City Council meeting that is scheduled on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Would I have the person inputting the data fill out or check fields for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc., then Tuesday, Wednesday, etc., each Week, Month, Year or whatever? (That could get really complicated...) Just let them handle that kind of insertion manually? Perspectives? (If anyone knows of any tutorials that address this subject, a link would be most appeciated!) Thanks, and good morning!

I'm working on a JH simple system that stores these variables in-memory in either the JH application or the server scope, but I'd rather not use any of those. JH Another option would be to create a java object that can be referenced JH statically to get to these variables (haven't worked that out either). JH Then appart from the default page data there might be user specific paga JH date like the users preferred sort order, last 10 entered search JH keywords etc. One could store these in the clientscope or the session JH scope, but then these would be accessible from any other page aswell. So JH in this case there would be a pageSession and a pageClient scope to JH handle these kinds of data. JH I haven't worked out the details yet, but I'm open for any ideas, pros, JH cons etc. JH Jesse JH ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: FW: Cold Fusion forum (OPEN SOURCE?)
My sentiments exactly. Other than the session variable issue, extensive use of subquery's to pull up those little counts of messages, and dare I say, looping over select query's, absolutely kills performance once it gets big enough. We (or one of clients to be specific) have the dev edition as well, and one week I sat down and optimized it to the point that I would put it up against phpbb and could feel confident about it winning. I ended up almost rewriting every query, and all the logic to do it though. Still love the interface though...it's great. IMO it's still the best cf forum software as far as features vs price go though for a small site. A quick look at the SMB source shows that while it could use some work (precalculating those counts for starters), it looks less bloated, and would probably perform better out of the box. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thursday, December 26, 2002, 5:50:51 PM, you wrote: BD We have the developer version of that (although it may not be the current BD version) here.

Re: MS CF?
I'll believe it when I see it. Anyway, if Microsoft has you in their sights...you know you have to be doing something right. Of course, Microsoft isn't allowed to distribute any Java technology without making nice with Sun, because of the lawsuit, and we all know that isn't going to happen. So if Microsoft were to buy Macromedia, they would have to either kill CF, sell it off, or perhaps keep the name and rewrite the engine as a .Net app. None of which make me exactly happy...except maybe the chance to replace Studio with VS.Net ;) Oh well...one thing is for sure, Macromedia's stock is going to get a nice push for a bit if Wall Street catches this rumor. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Monday, December 23, 2002, 5:06:31 AM, you wrote: LC http://theregister.co.uk/content/4/28667.html ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

Re: OT: browser stats, mozilla rising
Just wanted to comment to this older thread... I was just looking over some stats from a consumer oriented non ecommerce site that has been hitting 3.5 million hits+ per day for the past few weeks, and Gecko based browsers are more popular than NS4 for the first time. Not by a small margin either, but certainly not as big a margin as the German site below. Looking at the stats I'm seeing, it looks as if most NS4 diehards are switching to 6.0 or Mozilla, with IE and Opera loosing a small amount of users. Overall Gecko browsers are number 5 in popularity behind IE 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, and IE 5 Mac. Kinda ironic that Macromedia still hasn't updated their dev exchange to detect Gecko based browers.

I don't remember what the service cost of PresenceWorks is offhand, but its very reasonable. The support is very good as well-- when I had some questions I ended-up talking to the person who wrote their Java API. I think combining PresenceWorks with the open source work which has already been done to figure out the AIM/ICQ (they both use the same login servers now.. rumor is they are working to merge protocols, finally!), MSN, and Yahoo protocols, I suppose you could eventually roll something together.

RE: mySQL CF
For mysql -- or any sql, really -- you code it as follows:
cfquery name=yourName datasource=yourDataSource
INSERT INTO yourTable (field1, field2) VALUES ('value1', 'value2')
/cfquery
With mysql, you need to watch out for illegal characters. That means if
value1 = This won't work you need to replace it with This won\'t work
In other words, you need to escape the quotes.
Good luck and enjoy mysql. For what it is -- a quick, simple little db --
it's really quite nice.

Subject: RE: mySQL CF
Rick,
I noticed you mention that you use CFINSERT. From your earlier postings I
know you are on CF 4.5x, as I am.
You're likely to discover that CFINSERT and/or CFUPDATE sometimes blow
sky-high on CF 4.5x (at least) when working with mySQL (3.23 for sure, and
maybe 4.0x). In threads on the subject over at the (then) Allaire forums no
specific cause was ever traced. It just happens. Sometimes.
In one of those threads I believe it was Paul Hastings who advised me to
'just say no to cfinsert/cfupdate' and it ranks as some of the best CF
advice I ever got. On the surface those tags appear to be handy shortcuts,
but they black-box your SQL, take away the otherwise granular control you
should have and make debugging ... difficult.
I suggest you follow the same advice -- you'll probably find out you have
to, anyway. While you're at it go for the double bonus and implement
cfqueryparam.
Happy Monday (early) :)

Re: Mildly OT: JS, Form, Passing Vars
The opener stays should stay as is. There is a problem with my code
though that I didn't see until now. The elem.target should be changed
to '' if elem.type = complete, because if the close the window after
previewing, the target needs to be reset. Also the onclick event may
need to return true for the form to actually submit. I didn't test
this :) onclick=setFormParams(this.form, 'complete'); return true;
If he wants to have a close window button that submits the opener form
I'd do something line
opener.setFormParams(opener.forms.letter,'complete') from the popup.
In thinking about it again, the problem with this method is that you
still want to control the size of the popup. Probably the best way to
solve that using this method would be to create the window named new
before submitting the form.
So a somewhat debugged version might look like this.
script
function setFormParams(elem, type) {
if (type == 'preview') {
elem.action = 'letterPreview.cfm';
elem.target = 'new';
else if (type == 'complete') {
elem.action = 'completeForm.cfm';
elem.target = '';
}
window.open('null.htm','new', ...)
elem.submit();
/script
form id=letter
input type=submit id=preview value=preview onclick=setFormParams(this.form,
'preview'); return true
input type=submit id=complete value=sumbit onclick=setFormParams(this.form,
'complete'); return true

For the gurus: Question about state management with CLIENT scope
I'm writing an app that uses the CLIENT scope for state management. When somebody logs in, there are some client variables that are set like CLIENT.firstName and CLIENT.lastName. The problem is that even if the end user quits the browser after being logged in and comes back to the site 10 minutes later, the user is still logged in from before. I realize that you can set a timeout on client variables, but that is stupid. The CFTOKEN and CFID need to go away when the browser closes - just it it does on any other website I can think of. How can I tell CF to set the CFID and CFTOKEN cookies as 'session' cookies, meaning that they are gone when the browser instance quits? It doesn't make any since for people to still be logged in after they quit the browser and it poses a mild security risk for what I'm trying to do. I can think of some annoying work arounds but I can't think of any elegant solutions for this problem.

Re: Redirection based on IP address.
CountryHawk may be good (or bad...) but it's certainly far from 100% accurate. Just looking at the docs real quick, it uses a database of ip:country mappings that has to be updated regularly. Even if they put out a new version every day, I seriously doubt they can keep track of all 4 billion+ possible ip addresses accurately. Not only that, dynamic ip's, multinational isp's, and proxies are unknown's. What if a netblock owner with an ASN number sells out or moves to a different country, or heck, just loans some unused net blocks he had since the 80's to a buddy? To me, if a product is reliable, it means 100%. Browserhawk would not fit my definition of reliable.

Re: Anonymous Access to Web Server -- CF 5.0
First, before you do anything. Install every patch for IIS! Just to add to what others have said, in Win2k at least, by default all files and directories have Everyone with Full Control, so the IUSR_MachineName user should already have full access to your web root by proxy... Make sure that in IIS, Allow Anonymous Connections is enabled under Directory Security, and that the anonymous user name is actually IUSR. On your web root folder (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\), go to properties, security, and uncheck Allow Inheritable Permissions, and click Copy. Remove the user Everyone, and add Administrators, and IUSR. Then go to advanced, and check Reset Permissions...Then click OK, Apply. That should do it. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tuesday, December 10, 2002, 5:06:13 PM, you wrote: NB First and foremost -- I am a self proclaimed illiterate (in totality) NB regarding Network admin, security\permissions, etc. knowledge.

Re: CFMX - Mail Spooling Issue!
Makes sense, but why CF's mail spool process is dying doesn't... The only other thing I could think to check, would be after you notice the mail files getting stuck in the spool, check to see if you can run a script that uses cfmail and see if it too gets stuck. If it does, the mail spool process it totally fubared, and it might be a corrupted mail file of some kind. I know this was a problem in past versions. Restarting CF in this case should cause the mail to be sent, rebooting the server shouldn't be necessary. You might want to try and see if slowing down or speeding up the mail spool checking time in the CF admin affects the problem at all. Other than that, I'm fresh out of ideas. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Monday, December 9, 2002, 6:42:49 PM, you wrote: DN It seems as if it's being stuck in the CF mail spool DN (c:\cfusionmx\mail\spool) -- I use IIS as my mail server.

Re: Client Variable Question
Complete is a property of the form, not the user, so neither a session nor a client variable are appropriate, and unless each instance of a form is a unique application (that seems unlikely from your desc.), then an application variable would be inapropriate. I would have a complete bit in a table in a database for each form, so you simply query out whether or not the form is completed where necessary. All the query needs to know is the StudentID.

The perfect tag/function I'm looking for needs to be able to: 1) Get dimensions from an image (Height, Width, Size, etc.) 2) Be able to resize a GIF or JPEG with (almost) the same quality as PhotoShop 3) Plug and play ability with no need to configure anything in CF Administrator (So a Java JAR would probably be best) 4) Adding text or a watermark would be icing on the cake, but not necessary And that's about it. The closest I'm come is ImageJ (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/) using some of www.benorama.com implementations along with some edits.

If you use a scope like session or application, you are certainly looking at race conditions which cause mysterious bugs like the ones you are describing. Consider the following example: html cfloop from=1 to=3 index=i iframe src=filler.cfm?myvar=cfoutput#i#/cfoutput /cfloop /html Now filler.cfm: html cfoutput#url.myvar#/cfoutput /html This code works perfectly, rendering three iframes with documents containing the numbers 1, 2, and 3. Hope this helps. Cantrell On Monday, December 2, 2002, at 12:51 AM, Rick Faircloth wrote: Hi, all. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with using Cold Fusion and IFrames. I've been trying to setup a page that has one or more IFrames, depending on query results, that send information to a page that is the content page for the IFrames. I loop the output from the query on the first page, and the IFrames are created and the IFrame content page does display in the IFrame, but the content is the same for each IFrame content page. In other words, the page that populates the IFrames is created dynamically, based on the variables sent to it. When the page holding the IFrames loops through its query results, those results are sent during each loop to the IFrame content page where it is created dynamically, then the page is brought in to the IFrame. The problem is, the IFrame content page reflects only the last loop's variables in all three IFrames. I can't figure out how to get each loop's variables in the various IFrames. Since the variables can't be URL variables or Form variables, I created application variables so the variables would be available to the IFrame content pages. That worked, but the only version of the IFrame content page to show up in the IFrames was the version with the last loop's variables. It seems like what is happening is that the IFrame content page is not created until the full page is rendered that contains the IFrames. Then, last, the IFrame content pages are included. In this case, it's the last loop's variables that show up, because that's the last version of the page that was created before it's inclusion in the IFrames. Most likely, only one version of the IFrame content page can exist at one time, therefore it shows up in each IFrame. I even tried creating separate IFrame content pages to populate the IFrames, but even then the variables didn't change. ? I hope this makes some sense... This is driving me crazy! I've just about given up on using IFrames in this manner because they just seemed to be more trouble than they are worth...

It's very similar, but technically it's probably closer to the span tag, with the addition of a src parameter.

Re: JSRS and ColdFusion
I haven't looked at it in about a year or so, but I used JSRS with a few modifications in the past for a project. It's a bit overdone in my opinion, but it is a good way to learn the concept's behind exchanging data with the server using JS. Basically JSRS, takes data passed to it, and passes the data as URL variables to a hidden iframe or ilayer. You can access these URL variables with CF the same as any other CF template. The part that makes JSRS so complex is that it handles arrays as well as simple strings, so it has to be able to serialize and deserialize js arrays. Overkill imo...you are better off ripping out what you need from JSRS and making your own library. His real innovation was figuring out exactly how to make an invisible iframe/ilayer across all 3 major platforms at the time. Today I think using the script tag is a better way to exchange data though. IFrame's are fine, but they make that annoying click in IE when the url is changed. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Friday, November 22, 2002, 12:15:12 AM, you wrote: gec Has anyone out there done anything with JSRS (JavaScript Remote Scripting) by gec Brent Ashley (see http://ashleyit.com/rs/) and ColdFusion?

Re: Java in CF (CFMX)
Interesting, sounds like the same reasoning that has kept CF tags from being able to be used in cfscript all those years, another design decision, even though many people asked for it. The case for allowing inline Java is simple, CF developers can use Java without having to know everything about Java. Methods and classes are easy to get. Compiling, classpath's, and understanding the lengths Java goes to, to abstract everything, etc. is not. CFQuery is the perfect example here. If CF gives developers the power to do whatever they want within cfquery tags, then why not java within cfjava tags? Seems's inconsistent to me. Especially since cfquery probably the biggest strength of the CF language. If disallowing Java is just a design decision, I would disagree with it. If it's something that would take some time to implement, then I can understand, because as you say, the Java integration is pretty solid as it is. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thursday, November 21, 2002, 8:19:04 PM, you wrote: PC We made a design decision not to allow inline Java code.

I also don't want to start yet another debate about what's good and bad for CF, but as you said earlier, I am curious as well.

And if you think the difference is insignificant: chances are your search area is only 50% of what it should be when doing a search from Anchorage, Alaska. Just think of the difference in distance between meridians on the equator and on the poles. The difference between the 0-meridian and the 1-meridian (either east or west) on the equator is 60 miles (n), and on the poles they actually overlap. My trigo is a bit rusty, but I will give it a shot to get the code correct: distance = acos(cos(latA)cos(latB)cos(lonB-lonA)+sin(latA)sin(latB))/360 * 2 * pi * R R = radius earth in the appropriate units lon from -180 to 180 degrees lat from -90 to 90 degrees If you are dealing with small distances and don't actually overlap one of the poles a reasonable approximation would be to compensate only the longitude by division with cos(#geoCode.Lat#): SELECT * FROM jcszip WHERE (((jcszip.lat)= (#geoCode.Lat# - (#Radius# * 0.0005)) And (jcszip.lat)= (#geoCode.Lat# + (#Radius# * 0.0005)) ) AND ((jcszip.lon)= (#geoCode.Lon# - (#Radius# * 0.0005)/cos(#geoCode.Lat#)) And (jcszip.lon)= (#geoCode.Lon# + (#Radius# * 0.0005)/cos(#geoCode.Lat#)) )) ORDER BY jcszip.Zip (I assume your factor 0.0005 is correct for miles (s).) Naturally you need to apply the full calculation on the resultset to get the actual distance, but this first approximation should reduce its size sufficiently to make that possible. And for the PostgreSQL users: check /contrib/, this functionality is built-in to the database.

Re: MX and UPS XML
I should write up a CF/UPS XML FAQ or something, seeing as how often this question comes up. CFHTTP can not be used to POST XML because CFHTTP encodes all POSTS, unless the receiver specifically takes steps to decode the XML. These companies are in the minority in my experience though. UPS expects non-encoded XML. That's why it doesn't work. The type=xml does not construct the HTTP commands. It just opens a socket and sends xml. cfx_rawsocket probably works with the 1.4 JRE, because the 1.4 JRE integrates SSL (JSSE), which the 1.3 JRE does not. CFHTTP with a default CF install will not work with SSL either. UPS requires SSL. I posted some MX/Java code to do http posts, and the source for a java cfx tag was posted within the last few weeks. A raw socket tag will work as well, but you will need to construct the http posts yourself...not difficult, just another step. If you are using MX enterprise, you can use the Jakarta JSP Taglibs also, which are pretty neat imo. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tuesday, November 19, 2002, 4:14:48 PM, you wrote: C We actually got MX to talk to UPS for tracking.

Oh, and would be nice if it integrated easily with CF (to kinda bring this question a little bit on topic) :) Strategy and options depends quite a bit on the usage pattern and the financial room. I will just presume it is for nearest outlet matching for now. If it is for the occasional lookup, I am sure there are webservices where you can pay per hit. Easy and all the database maintenance is done for you by the remote partner. But it might be a bit clumsy if you get back a long list of ZIP codes that you then have to match against your own database of outlets. And if you get a lot of hits, paying per hit might not be the best model. Another option would be to buy a ZIP database with subscriptions for updates and a bunch of tags for running queries on them. But again, it might be a bit clumsy if you want to match those results with another database of outlets. The last option is to buy the ZIP database and built your own search system for it. It really isn't that hard to make the database do distance calculations based on lat/lon pairs, and unless you have a very special set of datapoints using a smart algorithm and some indexing will make it very fast, especially since you can do the outlet matching in the database as well. I would probably go for option 3, unless there is a business reason for doing number 1. Let me know if you want some code for option 3.

fast compare?
Using MX is there a relatively simple way to do a fast compare of
two large string arrays? I need to know if an element in an array
is contained in the another.
Currently I'd use something like this
for(o = 1, o LT arrayLen(ary1), o = o + 1) {
for(i = 1, LT arrayLen(ary2), i = i + 1) {
if(ary1[o] EQ ary2[i]) {
//match...
}
}
}
This obviously does not scale well. Given the fact that I am not a
CS grad (no quicksort, not ready for that :)), does Java have a good
way to do this kind of compare, that I could use in MX, or is there
another way?

This would require 2 database queries and a run through the validate method. SA Aside... Why even have a remove list ? Why not have a remove flag in one SA table? That's the way I have it...it's an import routine, new addresses are coming from a cvs file uploaded... -- jon mailto:jonhall;ozline.net ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

Re: OT: Using Javascript to disable backspace key with exception
You are calling this function onKeyDown right? Just leave the function
call out on the textarea you don't want to trap the backspace key on.
Also event.which is NS4's version of event.keyCode. If you do a little
object detection you can make this script work cross browser...
if (document.all)
keyPressed = event.keyCode;
if (document.layers)
keyPressed = event.which

JT I am using Javascript to disable backspace key. It works fine. The only
JT problem is that I need to have the backspace key functional for only one
JT field on my form.

JT function checkShortcut()
JT {
JT if(event.keyCode==8 || event.keyCode==13)
