new & worried
Hi, I'm new to the list. Can somebody help me? I want to list the contents of one table only where the primary key is paired with a client's specific session variable from another table. It's like a real simple shopping cart concept. I'm trying to understand "applications", and I think when I use one I can spawn a session variable that is specific to a client. I have listed some of the code for this below. In the "mq_our_select.cfm" template a client can choose a mala (worry beads -- sort of a necklace) from a table in "data" called "mq_our". The next template after making the choice should display the details of the chosen mala as shown in the third file m1_our_list.cfm.. But I want that third file to do more. I want it to search the second table called sessions, which contains pairings of sessionIDs with previously chosen malaIDs. If a sessionID match is found, it means the customer chose some malas earlier in the session, and these should also be displayed. How do I accomplish this? Essentially, the pseudo code for the query I want for that third file would be something like SELECT prod_num,bead FROM mq_our FOR all malaID in the sessions table where the sessionID matches this current sessionID Thanks in advance for any help!

RE: new & worried (subquery)
Thanks for your help so far. Anthony Geoghegan was very helpful steering me in the right direction. I am trying to use a subquery in combination with a session variable to keep track of a customer's choices of malas (worry beads) on a web site that I would someday like to put on line. I guess it is a crude shopping cart. Anyway, I'll deal with the session variable stuff later. Right now I'm having trouble with the subquery. I am using two simple tables filled with a bunch of dummy values (maybe that's part of my problem). A file called mqapp_our_select.cfm located at http://www.digitalnature.net/hameed/mqapp_our_select.cfm is supposed to display a selection of wonderful malas. Right now the gifs are colored squares. When you click on one of them, you invoke the next template called mqapp_our_list.cfm. The query looks like this: SELECT prod_num,bead FROM mq_our WHERE malaID IN (SELECT malaID FROM sessions WHERE session=#session_name#) ORDER BY prod_num Instead of a session variable for now (to keep things simple) I'm just using a string: abc. In the second table called sessions I have some instances where abc appears in the session column. I want the query to pull the corresponding "malaID's" from the sessions table and use them in the mq_our table. But I get an error: ODBC Error Code = 07001 (Wrong number of parameters) [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 1. HELP! What am I doing wrong? For completeness the full error code can be viewed at http://www.digitalnature.net/hameed/error.txt. The application file can be viewed at http://www.digitalnature.net/hameed/application.txt. The code for mqapp_our_select.cfm can be viewed at http://www.digitalnature.net/hameed/mqapp_our_select.txt. The code for mqapp_our_list.cfm can be viewed at http://www.digitalnature.net/hameed/mqapp_our_list.txt. The mq_our table can be viewed at http://www.digitalnature.net/hameed/mq_our_1.html. And the sessions table can be viewed at http://www.digitalnature.net/hameed/sessions_1.html. If you see anything else in all that code that needs fixing please let me know! Thank you, kind people of cf-talk for any help you can offer!

New and Worried (terminating a session)
Hi all, This is proving to be an informative list! I have worked out a lot of the cold fusion portion of my latest site. Session variables are still a mystery. How do I turn off a session? In other words, if I leave the website and come back in an hour, or next day, I want a fresh session. Can this be done in applications.cfm with a timer/counter? I think I read somewhere that a session can be terminated with javascript. Earlier, someone posted the cold fusion script below. Will that terminate my session after 30 minutes (or do I have to modify this code somewhat?) Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, what is the philosphy of a "session"? Do customers expect their session to be persistant over days? Thanks! Megan I use this which deletes all client variables if they haven't been accessed in 30 minutes: -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
client wants online credit card processing
Hi all, I've been getting deeper into cold fusion, and it's working out quite well. I have a client who wants credit card processing. But his domain is hosted with a service that doesn't support cold fusion. So I've been handling the non-database portion of his web site by uploading html files to his server, and for database requirements I've been calling cfm files from the server that hosts my domain. If cold fusion processing takes place on my server, can he still get credit card processing (from BofA or the like)? If so, how?

NN6 frames pages with parameters in URLs
Hi everyone, There's something I don't understand about cold fusion NN6 frames pages with URL's taking parameters via a question mark. From a demo home page at http://www.digitalnature.net/demo/index.cfm, I have this link to "the store" frameset page: href="demo.cfm?pagename=store&anchorname=content_top". The home page is not a frames page, and this link works fine. The store page is a frameset. In the header frame I have more links that take parameters. One link goes back to the home page. It looks like this: href="index.cfm" target=_top. It works fine. Another link looks like this: href="demo.cfm?pagename=info&anchorname=content_top" target=_top, where demo.cfm is a cold fusion frameset that uses the parameters for configuration. This link does not work. I can't figure out why. Even more strangely, the URL is loaded properly into the location field at the top of the browser, and if I click the location field and then hit return, suddenly the link works. I'm wondering if this has something to do with target=_top used in the anchor tag. Anyhow, all of this code works flawlessly in NN4.x, IE5.0 and IE5.5. It only screws up in NN6. Can anybody see why?

syntax error when inserting date
Hi all, My action template is supposed to insert classID, location and date into a table in my database. When creating new records in the form I provide, I want the user to be able to supply a comma delimited list of dates. I think the loop in the action template successfully extracts individual dates from the date list, but there is a syntax error in the insert command. Everything works if I don't try to insert the date, so that must be where the syntax error occurs. Can anybody tell me what my date syntax error is? Thanks in advance!

the dbl devil
Hi all, I'm using Access for my database. Sometimes when I need to make changes to the database on the server there is a .dbl file in the directory. I can't delete it, and it won't let me upload the database. A couple days ago someone on this list said to create a query calling a table that doesn't exist. I did that. Got the error on the screen, but the devilish dbl was still there. I talked to my cf host and he said, "Your code is holding your database too long..put in your code a time to release the database after so many minutes." Does anyone know what he was talking about? Also, thanks for your assistance on my syntax error when inserting date. I was thrown off because cfinsert and cfupdate worked fine. But all went awry when I tried to use insert in a query in a cfloop. So changing the field name from "date" to "classdate" did the trick. Thanks!

faulty join?
Hi, I'm trying to display (kayak) class information on a web page. I have 3 tables, one for class description (primary key "classID"), one for class prerequisites (primary key "prereqID"), and one for class schedule (primary key "scheduleID"). I have slimmed down the query and the output below. It only sorta works. I get a single output of the description, and a single output of the location/date (no repeats), but something goes wrong with the prereq's. If there is class with three prerequisites, say #1 #2 and #5, then the output loop for that class yields #5 #1 #2, #1 #2 #5, and #1 #5 #2. I only want the list of prerequisites to show up once. I've tried a bunch of stuff, but I'm obviously just guessing. Does anybody have a suggestion toward what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Megan SELECT class.classID, class.content, class_schedule.scheduleID, class_schedule.location, class_schedule.date, class_prereq.prereqID, class_prereq.prereq FROM class, class_schedule, class_prereq WHERE (pagename = 'classes_sea' and class.classID=class_schedule.classID and class_prereq.classID=class.classID) ORDER by rank, class_schedule.location, class_schedule.date class: #content# #prereq# #location#, #date# Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
looping qty form input box in shopping cart table using cfoutput
Hi, I am trying to build a shopping cart table that displays a customer's intended purchases from a temporary database holding that information. Each item and its description and cost get put on their own line in the table using cfoutput. I'm trying to provide a form input box for the quantity on each line so the customer can change the quantity. This is not working. The only way I've gotten it to work is to put an "update quantity" submit button on each line. I want a single image submit button at the bottom to update any modified quantities all at once. Can anybody understand what I'm trying to do enough to help me?

'nother loop problem
Hi all,
Thanks for the previous help on loops. Now I have a new problem. I want
to compare the results of one record set to those of another. I would
like to refer to each record in one of the record sets by using the
index of the loop. Is there an object naming convention in Cold Fusion
where each record is named? For example, if my query is named
"prerequisite", you can get the total number of records by referring to
prerequisite.recordcount. Can you refer to each individual record in
that record set with something like prerequisite.record.1,
prerequisite.record.2, and so on? If I could refer to each record this
way (sort of like an array?) then I could use something like
#evaluate("prerequisite.record."&#x#)# to achieve my goal.
Thanks for any help you can offer,
Megan
