I'm assuming this is because MRS contains 'MR' however I thought the

CFCACHE vs. static HTML
Should there be any performance differences between viewing a page that uses CFCACHE vs. viewing the same page output in a static HTML file created manually? I thought NOT, but some tests I've run suggest otherwise. For example, dynamic cfm pages that consistently require 10 seconds for full display will display in 8.5 seconds when using CFCACHE. But when I manually save that output to an HTML file and view that, the page is fully displayed in 5 or 6 seconds. Changing my manual static file to a .cfm extension adds a second or so, but it's still faster than using CFCACHE. I'm basing my tests on repeated hits of the Refresh button, so I don't think it's a browser cache issue... ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
Re: Group By..
To expand a bit on the use of CFOUTPUT GROUP=... This allows the use of an internal nested CFOUTPUT to display items within a group. For example, if you have a recordset with records describing your CD collection. One field in each record may indicate whether the CD is country, pop, classical etc. You can use the GROUP parameter in the CFOUTPUT, and then use a nested CFOUTPUT, to create a report grouping the CDs by music type. For example: CFOUTPUT QUERY=GetCDInfo GROUP=MusicType #GetCDInfo.MusicType# CFOUTPUT #GetCDInfo.CDTitle# /CFOUTPUT /CFOUTPUT For this to work, you must use ORDER BY in your SQL statement, ordering by the same field that you want to GROUP by in your CFOUTPUT. (The GROUP in SQL has no relation to the GROUP in CFOUTPUT.) There may also be times when you have generated a record set similar to the above and then simply want to list the types of music held in your collection. Rather than hitting the DB again, you can simply use a CFOUTPUT GROUP without the nested CFOUTPUT, to display the types without duplication. Gene Kraybill On 24 Aug 2001, at 8:58, Bruce Sorge wrote: When you use aggregate functions in the SELECT clause to produce summary information, you use the GROUP BY clause to divide the information into distinct groups. Your database system uses any column or lost of columns following the GROUP BY keywords as grouping columns. It is an optional clause. The CFOUTPUT is a way to group output.

CFMAIL in a nested CFOUTPUT
Has anyone figured out a way to prevent CFMAIL from behaving like a set of CFOUTPUT tags when it's inside a CFOUTPUT GROUP construct? Consider this greatly simplified code: CFOUTPUT QUERY=MyQuery GROUP=Email CFOUTPUT some code here for building the content of the email message... /CFOUTPUT CFMAIL my message /CFMAIL /CFOUTPUT It seems that the CFMAIL behaves the same as the simple nested CFOUTPUT, i.e., it iterates as an inner loop nested inside the CFOUTPUT GROUP, resulting in multiple messages when I only want it to send ONE. I can't use the CFMAIL with a QUERY and GROUP parameter, instead of the outer CFOUTPUT, because I need to build the email message first with some processing within the inner CFOUTPUT. Only workaround I've heard of is to build an array within the CFOUTPUT, then iterate through that outside the CFOUTPUT. If so, it seems like CFMAIL definitely needs a parameter to specify whether it loops or simply does a simple send when inside a CFOUTPUT GROUP Ideas?

Re: dynamic vars, error checking and values (sorry, long and complex)
John, See if this helps... One method (often used in Fusebox apps) for forms is to set up three loops to initialize your variables. You normally start out with a fieldlist: CFSET fieldlist=field1, field2, field3 etc. If you're naming your fields dynamically, you'll need to build that fieldlist dynamically, using loops or similar methods. Maybe something like this: CFSET fieldlist= CFOUTPUT Query=MyQuery CFSET field#currentrow#=#categoryName#__#categoryID#__#categoryD ataType# CFSET fieldlist=ListAppend(fieldlist,field#currentrow#) /CFOUTPUT Then you have 3 loops to initialize your vars depending on whether the user is coming to the form for the first time (new), for editing of an existing record (query) or for tweaking of a just-submitted form that failed some validation test (form). if it's a New use: CFLOOP INDEX=fieldname LIST=#fieldlist# CFSET TEMP = SETVARIABLE(#fieldname#,) /CFLOOP if it's a Query use: CFLOOP INDEX=fieldname LIST=#fieldlist# CFSET TEMP=SETVARIABLE(#fieldname#,#evaluate(QueryName.#f ieldname#)#) /CFLOOP if it's a form use: CFLOOP INDEX=field LIST=#ListRest(fieldlist)# CFSET TEMP = SETVARIABLE(#field#, #evaluate(form. #field#)#) /CFLOOP You'll need to add some conditional code to determine which of the three uses it is. In the Fusebox method, you'd set a flag in the main index.cfm file, but if you're not using Fusebox, you could simply test for the existence of the primary key or something like that. This method sets the basic field name itself to the appropriate value, based on whether it's a new, query or form use... So you set the form field values like this: INPUT TYPE=text NAME=field1 VALUE=#field1# I'm sure this approach will need to be tweaked depending on how you're actually creating your dynamic field names, but hopefully it'll help.

Re: Love CF, what about CFFLUSH?
Works well for me in some initial use... Certainly gives the perception of a more responsive system. One thing to keep in mind, of course, is that CFFLUSH won't help if your output is contained within a single HTML table for formatting purposes. In one case where I had been using such a table to define a nav menu at the left and the main content area to the right, I've added some conditional code to my CFINCLUDEd header and footer code so the user has the option of switching to a horizontal layout. This puts the menu at the top of the page and CFFLUSH can freely do its thing on the page output without the use of a single large container HTML table and its associated output issues.

Re: REQUEST vs. VARIABLES
The Request scope was added to CF mainly to allow variables to be easily passed to custom tags. The only two differences I can think of between Request.var and Variables.var is that Request.var is accessible within all custom tags called within the same request, and Variables.var can be used without a scope since CF first looks in the Variables scope if a var has no specified scope. Probably not much else to say about Request scope, except that it can be very handy...

Re: Verity Problem (solved)
SIGHS Type=Great Rejoicing Well, I finally figgered out the cause of my Verity problem. /SIGHS When you set TYPE=File in CFINDEX, the filename you use for the KEY must apparently be fully qualified with the path as well. My app is actually working now, but I have little hair left. g The docs, I feel, are misleading. Although they say the KEY is the fully qualified path when TYPE=Path, they simply say the KEY is Document filename when TYPE=File. The fact that fully qualified was used in referring to the Path type but not the File type made me conclude, incorrectly, that the filename did not need to be fully qualified. I had specified the path in the URLPATH parameter, so incorrectly thought that would suffice. What made things so confusing was that I had discovered by accident that if I ran one CFINDEX using Type=Path, I could then use a CFINDEX where Type=File. Apparently the fully qualified path I specified in KEY when I ran the CFINDEX with TYPE=Path switched the internal default path for Verity. I was just about ready to throw out Verity as a quirky engine that didn't work. What a relief to discover that the world actually works again g...

Seems to work great for the files that actually get indexed, but whenever I move to another collection to index pages and then return to the first, the new additions to the first collection simply don't show up in searches and the errors shown above are recorded in the logs. I wondered if somehow Verity was balking because the original contents are replaced with the redirect, but I see the same problem even if I retain the original contents in the file that is indexed.

Re: Duplicate name conflict error message
You may be better off to name the property fields property1, property2, property3, etc., then apply the validation as required. If there's a possibility of more than 3 properties, you might consider asking a question at the beginning about how many properties they'd like to insure. Then post the form back to itself, reading the response and using that number as the control for a loop something like this: CFPARAM NAME=NumberOfProperties DEFAULT=1 CFIF IsDefined(Form.NumberOfProperties) CFSET NumberOfProperties=Form.NumberOfProperties /CFIF CFLOOP INDEX=i FROM=1 TO=#NumberOfProperties# INPUT TYPE=text NAME=Property#i# /CFLOOP Gene Kraybill On 22 Jun 2001, at 11:30, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the response. You're right. The problem actually is that I have more than one field in the form with the same name. The reason for this is that the form allows users to apply for insurance to cover their property or properties. As an applicant may have more than one property to be insured, I've repeated the code in that part of the form dealing with property details three times, hence the repeat occurrance of fieldnames. At first, I only used the input and form tags. However, because I needed to flag the first occurrance of the various property fields as required, I changed these to cfinput and cfform tags, but thereby ran into the problem that CF doesn't allow for repeated fieldnames (and I couldn't flag any of these fields as 'required' or 'no null allowed' in Access, since that would cause an error if an applicant had only one or two properties to be insured, and so left any of the repeated part of the form blank). Here is what I need to do: 1. I need to be able to allow users of my form to enter in details of anywhere from one to three properties, either by repeating the form code or by some other device of which I'm presently unaware, at the same time. 2. I need to be able to make the fields, in the first instance of the part of the form dealing with property details, required fields, but not any of the other instances. I'd appreciate any advice.

Re: how to do a loop? ...or something.
Aimee You're right. Actually, now that I think of it, the way I've handled this situation is to append the ID number to the name of the field, e.g.: INPUT TYPE=text NAME=Name_#ID# VALUE=#Name# and do the same for the address, then just loop through all the fieldnames that start with Name_, use the Eval function to get the name value in each case, parse out the ID number (using List functions with the underscore as the delimiter) and then use that same ID number with Address_#ID# to determine with the corresponding Address value. The logic would go something like this: CFLOOP through the fieldnames If the field begins with Name_, determine its value and parse out the ID number. Use the same ID number and plug it into Address_#ID# to determine the address value. Update that record. /CFLOOP Others may have a better way...

If I have three of them and only two addresses I get a list with only two elements in it, not two and a null. My *current* idea is to put the default input type=text value=--None-- etc... for any field that does not have a value. Then use basically your script to parse it out. This will break though if someone enters something and then decides it was a mistake, deletes it, and types it on the next line.

I'm told Access 2000 will handle much of what you typically have to do with a db -- what kinds of things will it NOT handle? If you're serious, should you just focus on using Ent Mgr exclusively? Also, when designing/developing/refining a db for use with CF, when is it best to use front-end GUI tools like Access and Ent Mgr, and when is it best to use direct scripting via CFQUERY/SQL statements?

Enterprise Manager connection to SQL Server
Newcomer to SQL Server... I'm attempting to use Enterprise Manager to connect via an ISP to a SQL Server 2000 db on a shared host. I was successful in doing that on Friday, but after installing MSDE on my Win98 dev laptop, the connection always failed (Server does not exist or access denied). I've uninstalled MSDE and reinstalled Enterprise Mgr, still to no avail. I CAN successfully ping the db, and I've confirmed that the Client Network Utility is set up to use TCP/IP as the protocol. My hosting service says I should confirm that I can use Port 1433, but I'm unsure how to do that or how to further diagnose what's happening. Any help appreciated!

Repost: Unknown Parser Error
No answers from my first post regarding: -- Error -- Just in time compilation error unknown parser error The last successfully parsed CFML construct was the CFML template beginning occupying document position (1:1) to (1:1) -- End of Error -- Some mysteries: 1. This error appears sporadically on SOME, but not all templates. When it appears on one, then it tends to appear on numerous templates until the CF server is restarted. 2. When this occurs, I can repeat the SAME error when I put one or two simple words in a .cfm file and attempt to run it. E.g., a file with just the words Just testing... throws the same error, though there's obviously no legitimate reason for the server to have a parser problem with a simple two- word text file... I found some posts here and on Allaire re. this message, but very few suggestions as to a cause. Can anyone shed any light at all? This is occurring on a shared host running CF 4.5.1 and IIS.

Unknown Parser Error
On a shared hosting service, we're getting a lot of (intermittent) errors like this: Just in time compilation error unknown parser error The error then points to the very first character of the first line of the template, so that seems spurious.

The problem is at least consistent, now that I've figured out what's actually happening. I feel confident of my code, as I have brought all the steps together into a single template for testing purposes, and simply pass a few URL variables to change collections, specify documents, etc. Adding documents initially works fine in both collections, but whenever I return to the collection I created first, updates there invariably fail and produce the messages shown above, EVEN if the update involves the exact same content that was successfully added or updated during the first round. I could conceivably work around this by building both collections one at a time, then deleting and rebuilding the first collection whenever additional updates are needed there. But the non- updatable problem would then shift to the second collection, and I'd have to do a complete rebuild for any updates there. What a hassle... I should mention that this code is for a spider-type search engine I've built, which retrieves external Web pages via CFHTTP, indexes them and then places a META redirect in a text file which is keyed to that record in Verity.

CFLOCK for 4.0.1 AND 4.5.1
I'm struggling with implementing CFLOCK so it runs on BOTH CF 4.0.1 and 4.5.1. (The 4.5.1 server has FULL CHECKING on.) Given that 4.0.1 FORBIDS the SCOPE parameter in CFLOCK and 4.5.1 REQUIRES it, I thought I'd do a check for which version of CF was running and stash the appropriate CFLOCK parameters into a local variable. For example, if CF 4.5.1 or better, I'd set the parameter var to be equal to 'SCOPE="Application" TYPE="Exclusive"', etc. So my CFLOCK would look like this: CFLOCK #VersionSpecificParameter# code... /CFLOCK But... CF throws an error on the pound sign, apparently not allowing the specification of parameters via variable. Any ideas besides repeating the entire CFLOCK block for each version?

Preventing Browsers Cacheing a .cfm file
I have a page where Javascript (the onchange event in a SELECT box) reloads a page and resets some session vars.

The problem disappeared if I set the browser options to check the page every time, but I couldn't rely on all users having that option set in their own browsers. Taking a cue from an old post to this list, I found that adding a random number to the query string for the reload action fixed the problem -- but using the standard META Pragma/ META Expire tags did not.

Re: CFLOCK - need help
Many thanks to Dave and Steve! With that combined genius and further experimentation, I think I have a cross-version solution: I'll use NAME="#Session.SessionID#" with session variable locks, and NAME="#Application.ApplicationName#" with application variable locks. I discovered, strangely, that ANY OTHER name in either case fails on 4.5.1, at least with FULL CHECKING on. For example, CF 4.5.1 doesn't let me use NAME="Test_#Application.ApplicationName#". Is that a bug or a feature? (My host, a well-known company, says they must keep FULL CHECKING on to protect the environment on a shared server.) Gene Dave Watts wrote: If you need backwards compatibility, don't use the new SCOPE attribute; use the NAME attribute instead. That's all you have to do. If you're working with only 4.5.1 servers, you'd be better off using the SCOPE attribute, but since you're not, you'll have to stick with NAME.

CFOUTPUT grouping
How do you implement a "CFOUTPUT Group" scenario when you need to give the user the option of displaying the results by different sorting orders? I'm displaying a list of buildings, some of which have multiple managers. I allow the user to click on any column to indicate how they'd like the results sorted. The desired order is stored in Attributes.Order. My SQL looks like this: CFQUERY NAME="ListBuildings" DATASOURCE="#datasource#" SELECT a.*, b.ManagerID, c.FirstName, c.LastName FROM Buildings a, BuildingManagers b, Users c WHERE a.CustomerID=#Session.CustomerID# AND b.BuildingID=a.ID AND c.UserNumber=b.ManagerID ORDER BY #Attributes.Order# /CFQUERY To avoid displaying the duplicate building records in the case of multiple managers, I use this: CFOUTPUT QUERY="ListBuildings" GROUP="ID"!--- ID is the building ID --- #ListBuildings.BuildingName# CFOUTPUT#ListBuildings.FirstName# #ListBuildings.LastName#/CFOUTPUT !--- Nested CFOUTPUT displays one or more building managers--- /CFOUTPUT This works fine only when the sort order is by ID (building). What must I add to make it work for other sort orders?

Re: Newbie Question - Creating Data Source for CSV text file
Hi John, You could write a few lines of CF to convert the CSV file into a query (using CFHTTP), then cfoutput the query and insert each record into a db table. If there's a way to use a CSV file as a datasource, I'm not aware of it. Even if there is a way, you'd be better off transferring the data to a proper db, with the speed advantages of indexes and other db features.

Good point. I've noticed that some of the file contention problems seem to disappear if I use a loop to introduce a brief delay between a CFFILE Delete and a CFFILE Write operation on the same file. Is that to be expected, and should CFLOCK solve that problem (it seems that there are still some file contention or access problems). Gene Kraybill from [EMAIL PROTECTED] It could be contention for that file by your application. You could either CFLOCK that CFFILE operation, or if you don't mind losing some writes you could use CFTRY/CFCATCH to prevent end users from seeing the error.

Complex Arrays and Structures
Looking for some peer review or alternative ideas on the following... I'm working on a rather complex B2B CF application where we basically want to have a single set of code drive different customized "versions" of the application based on a whole bunch of config settings. This is for an ordering system that will meet the varying needs of, say, 20 large corporate trading partners. Set a bunch of config options for a certain customer, and the app will show certain products and display and process data in a customized way. The approach we've been working on is to create a large application structure to hold the configuration settings for each customer. The key in the first dimension would be the customer ID number. The main config options are numbered, so Customer 1's second config option (set to Yes or No) would be referenced in a struct like this: #Application.Str_ConfigCust["1"]["2"]# Now we also need to store various other string, array and query data for quick on-the-fly access, so we're looking at also storing that at the second dim, such as: #Application.Str_ConfigCust["1"]["OtherDataArray"]# #Application.Str_ConfigCust["1"]["SomeSimpleString"]# #Application.Str_ConfigCust["1"]["SomeQuery"]# We also need to hold the order form data, and there can be multiple forms, so I figured there could be a "Form" struct at the second dimension that holds array data for each form. So #Application.Str_ConfigCust["3"]["Form"]["2"]["FormItemsArray"][5][8]# would reference the form items on row 5, column 8 on Customer 3's Order Form No. 2. I've never attempted to use arrays, structs and queries to this level of complexity, or mix and match them like this in the same structure. The advantage it seems to offer is that all config data will be held in a single structure, and it'll be easy to reference it by customer number and loop over it when needed. But it's also rather complex and the var references are long and unwieldy, so I'm having second thoughts. Also, I need to figure out whether storing all this config data in an application structure will cause memory problems. None of these arrays or queries are very large, but still... Any general comments/ideas/brickbats anyone? And how could we roughly estimate how much memory a complex structure like this will require?

RE: Milking every last drop of CF performance...
If it's a session variable, scope it as such. Otherwise, use the appropriate scope of the variable you're working with, such as: Regular variables: VARIABLES.blah ... Casual tests I've done show no significant performance increase by scoping regular variables. Undoubtedly this is because CF looks to the variables scope first. So I've adopted the policy of scoping everything EXCEPT regular variables. I figure that keeps my template sizes a tad smaller and my code just a bit cleaner.

Re: Passing a variable through the URL
In my application.cfm I have the following line of code:
CFSET APPLICATION.ADDTOKEN = "cfid=#client.cfid#cftoken=#client.cftoken#"
Now, there are login forms all over my site so people can login... if they
put their email and their password in, it should pass their email through
the URL... The form that they type email in is a textbox simple called
"Email." So how would I then append this to the APPLICATION.ADDTOKEN?
Chris:
I assume you're creating the AddToken in order to track users via URLs. If so, why
not use #Session.URLToken#, which CF creates automatically in the Session scope,
keeping
the assignment linked to a specific user rather than overwriting an Application
variable
visible to ALL users. Unless there is never more than one concurrent user, I would
think
there's the potential for one user's CFID and CFTOKEN to get associated with another
user if you assign those tracking numbers to an application variable and then add
that variable to one or more URLs.
To append the email adr to the combined cfid/cftoken var, you could do something like
this in your application.cfm:
CFSET Session.MyToken=Session.URLToken
CFIF IsDefined("Form.Email")
CFSET Session.MyToken="#Session.MyToken#""#Form.Email#"
/CFIF

Looking for someone who's used it to email me off-list for a bit of help...

Another CFHTTP challenge
Can't quite figger this one out... I have a page that uses one CFHTTP POST to do an automatic login to another site, and a second CFHTTP POST on the same page to pass parameters and request a secure page. The login always succeeds but the second CFHTTP gets kicked right back to the login screen on the FIRST try -- if I've just restarted CF. On the second try, assuming I haven't restarted the CFServer, the login and page request BOTH work as desired. Seems it must have something to do with the passing of CFID/CFTOKEN via cookies, but I could use some suggestions for further diagnosis/correction... Thanks!

Re: Using Select Tags in optional Form Submissions
A select box will always result in a value being passed to the "action" page. I'd suggest you use an initial OPTION something like this: SELECT name="Department" OPTION value="0"Select a Department OPTIONDepartment 1 OPTIONDepartment 2 etc /SELECT Then on your action page, do a CFIF test for Department, and if it's not 0, you know they made a department selection... Gene Kraybill Angél Stewart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a form, with four text boxes and a select box that is pulling data from a Department Table to get available departments and their Department IDs. Now, the user can eitehr enter an Employee Name, ID, or select a department. However, on the next page I have several CFIF IsDefined tags to check which field has a value in it, so that I know what to build the query on. It's one or the other, they can't enter a Name, and an ID...AND a department (wouldn't make sense to do that anyways heh heh). But...for some reason the Department is always carried forward,even if the user makes no selection. -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebarRstsbodyRsts/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
Re: CF and Crystal Reports
This may not be as sophisticated as you'd like, but the simplest way to generate bar charts is to have your code generate a table where the background of each row has a different BGCOLOR and the size of the "bar" on each row is controlled dynamically by setting the WIDTH parameter of the TDs, using a percentage or a number. If you have any trouble with the sizing, you could plop a one-pixel graphic via an IMG SRC in each cell, and set the WIDTH or HEIGHT to stretch it to the required size for your bar....

What an Array Looks Like
A few holiday thoughts on arrays... Coming from a non-programmer background, I found arrays rather intimidating until I began to realize how similar they are to everyday items: One-dimensional array: like a numbered list. Two-dimensional array: like a spreadsheet or table with cell references based on row and column. Three-dimensional array: like a cube with cell references based on 3 dimensions. Of course, I know that in CF, arrays are dynamic -- each "row" of a 2 dimensional array can be a different length. A 2-dim array is really just a one-dimensional array where each cell is occupied by a one-dimensional array of any length. Although I've often heard it said that it's difficult to visualize arrays of more than 3-dimensions, I wonder if a game we used to play as children might helpIt was called Quad, and was basically a multi-tiered Tic-Tac-Toe game -- multiple levels of rows and columns. So, ignoring the fact that CF arrays don't necessarily have the same number of elements in each dimension, I'd be interested in feedback on whether the following models accurately portray complex arrays: Three-dimensional array: Like a "Quad" game. Example: MyArray[2][3][1] means the data that's stored on the second level of the game, third row and first column. Four-dimensional array: Like a single-file lineup of Quad games. MyArray[5][2][3][1] means the data that's stored on the fifth game in the lineup, second level, third row and first column. Five-dimensional array: Like a big checkboard with a Quad game sitting on each square. MyArray[4][5][2][3][1] means the data that's stored in the game that's sitting on the fourth row and fifth column of the checkerboard, and on that game, the data is in the second level, third row and first column. Six-dimensional array: Like a huge Quad game, with each square occupied by a Quad game of its own. MyArray[2][4][5][2][3][1] means the data that's stored in the game found on the second level, fourth row and fifth column of the huge Quad game, and on that game, the data is in the second level, third row and first column. I could keep going... 7 dimensions would be like a string of huge quad games, with each of the huge quad games having each of their cells occuped by a Quad game...Seems like you could keep going forever... Accurate depiction? Next question: When would you need a 7-dimension array?

RE: Looping through an Array
Taking this one step further, I'd be interested in seeing an example of the best way to loop through a 3-dim array. ArrayLen only shows the length of the first dimension - how do you determine the size of the 2nd and 3rd?

Array Size - How?
Basic question: I have a 3 dimensional array that is constructed dynamically. How can I determine the size of each dimension so I can do some nested loops to display the contents of the array? I'm trying to do something like this: CFLOOP index="Dim1Counter" FROM=1 TO= CFLOOP INDEX="Dim2counter" FROM=1 TO=? #MyArray[#Dim1Counter#][#Dim2Counter#][1]# #MyArray[#Dim1Counter#][#Dim2Counter#][1]# /CFLOOP /CFLOOP Gene Kraybill ----- Gene Kraybill LPW Associates LLC www.lpw.net -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
Re: Is it possible to have a preview of records before going liv
"Jeff Fongemie" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My client wants a way to add the text, hit enter, then preview it with the ability to make changes before it goes live. After the preview/change process he can hit another submit button to have the info go live. If he's going to preview and edit immediately following the addition of the new text, you could simply pass the text as form vars to a preview page. If he wants to make changes, he hits the Back button to return to the form, otherwise he hits a Publish button to save it to the db... If he's not necessarily going to add text and preview it in the same session, you could save it to the db with a "Status field" in that table. When he's approved it, simply change the Status (e.g.) from 'Draft' to 'Live'. Set up your live pages to only pick up content with a status of Live...This keeps your content in a single table and avoids the hassles of two tables for essentially the same content... Only time you might want to use a second table is if he needs to be able to take LIVE content and rework it through multiple work sessions. In that case, you could reference the LIVE record as a foreign key in your DRAFT table, and when he's done fiddling with the new version, simply update the LIVE record with the contents of its DRAFT equivalent...

Scopes (WAS: RE: CFIF syntax debate (kind of...)
what kind of scopes are there? Form, url, session... anything else? not forgetting Application, Attributes, Caller (already mentioned), CGI, Client, Cookie, Query Name, Request, Server, Variables On the subject of scopes, I once accidentally used "Variable.whatever" rather than "Variables.whatever" and stumbled on the fact that you can start vars with any "scope-like" dot notation name. This could potentially be useful, e.g., in the Fusebox methodology you set global vars via an included file... You could name such vars like this: "appglobals.whatever" so the origin of the var would be instantly clear on subsequent references in other templates. Of course, "appglobals.*" is not really a new scope -- it's simply a var starting with "appglobals." that's actually in the "Variables" scope. A full reference would be "#variables.appglobals.whatever#". Anyone see any problem with such scope-like notation?

OT: SQL - Ordering an 'IN'
Is there a way in SQL to have the resultant query use the same sequence as
the original items in an "IN" list, e.g.
WHERE Name IN ('John','Joe','Sarah')
I'm passing form elements and need to look up information on each and then redisplay
them
in the same order. Would be a lot easier if I can somehow force that IN clause to find
the records in the original sequence...
