Re: Minimum flash player for CF flash controls.

It is indeed Flash Player 9.

Apparently FP10 already has a penetration rate of 94% according to Adobe.

Re: attack site / sql injections HELP!

2008-10-10 Thread Peter Tilbrook
Don't forget to check things like order by variables.

http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2008/7/21/SQL-injection-using-order-
by

Also with regard to application.cfm. Make sure every page is running that
file. For example, do you have included that might not be intended to be
run as URLs. Or do you have subdirectories that run cfm files that have
their OWN application.cfm or application.cfc file.

Have code reviewed and wasn't my CFML (at this stage) so maybe a new IIS

so. Have disabled the database and CFABORTed any code that interacts with the 
database until I can solve the disastrous problem (apparently the attack came 
from China).

Re: HELP! SQL Injection Attack!

2008-08-08 Thread Peter Tilbrook
Wondering if SQL in form fields is also a risk. At any rate Justin D. Scott of 
GravityFree ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) released a handy script which you can grab here:

http://www.actcfug.com/files/_SQLPrev.zip

The original script had a minor mis-spelling bug and I made the keywords 
alphabetical in order to make tweaking it easier if you need not use all the 
provided keywords (eg: DROP).

My host Mike Kear ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) provided this documentation:

THE EXPLOIT:

The attempt is to use url variables to gain access to the MASTER database (they 
cant!) or identify VARCHAR, NVARCHAR or CHAR fields in your tables, then add 
their own content to Them.   The attackers use automated bots to make multiple 
attempts on multiple pages.  If the attack is successful, at best it changes 
all the text fields in a database,  at worst, it destroys your database. 

THE DEFENCE

There are a number of ways to defend against an attack like this, and we’re 
doing all of them.

[A]  Deny read or write permissions to the MASTER database and the system 
tables to the SQLServer Login that ColdFusion uses to access the datasource.  
This has always been the case

[B] Restrict the SQLServer Login that ColdFusion uses to read/write access to 
only the database that it needs for that datasource.   This has always been the 
case, but we’re double checking.   This means that if the hackers gain 
access, the damage will be contained to one database only, and a weak defence 
on one site won’t compromise everyone else.

[C]  prevent the attack reaching the database in the first place.  This is 
where you come in.

Attached is a script (_SQLPrev.cfm )  written by Justin Scott of GravityFree 
([EMAIL PROTECTED]).  It seeks to scan the URL being called,  looking for some 
specific strings that can be used in this kind of attack.  If it finds such a 
word, it aborts the page call and sends the user to the home page of the site, 
and sends you an email.
 
I STRONGLY SUGGEST you incorporate this script at the top of your 
application.cfm (or if you are using application.cfc,   at the start fo your 
onRequestStart() method) .   IF the page call is not an attack, the page will 
be slowed by a millisecond or two.  If it IS an attack, it will very likely 
capture it and prevent it.

Just to help you focus your attention on this and how real the threat is,   
while I have been typing this email, 11 sites am currently watching have 
received 638 attack attempts, detected and deflected by this script.

HOW TO DEPLOY THE SCRIPT:

[A] alter the cfqueryparam variables at the top of the script to email 
addresses, passwords, etc that are appropriate to you.

[B] put the script somewhere on your site

[C] in your application.cfm site include the script  ( or in application.cfc 
include the script in the onRequestStart() method)

[D]  to test the script,  go to http://domain.com/index.cfm?id=4;DECLARE()  
should trigger the script and you’ll get an email advising you of a hack 
attempt.

Thanks to both Mike Kear and Justin Scott for making it a bit easier to discern 
if our sites are being attacked. Obviously good coding is preferred and touch 
wood I am immune so far but will do a full code review to make that gospel!

Help please - a 500 null error

2007-11-16 Thread Peter Tilbrook
I am getting a 500 null error (and that is all it says) under MX7.

The code works great under CF8 (and in fact is modified from a site I wrote 
previously that works perfectly still).

It is not using any CF8 features as my host does not yet support it. Tried 
local MX7 (500 Null) and CF8 (works great - as intended).

Any ideas where I should look to solve this problem?

There is always SQL Server 2005 Express if you get desperate. Vista and CF8

Do not quote me on this but there will be at least one more release candidate 
for ColdFusion 8 (aka Scorpio).

Any issues you had/have retry them. No prisoners. No excuses.

Break it. Break it badly. Both the code and the documentation (yes even the

Serious CF8 rocks already but keep trying to break it. Adobe's engineers love

Confirmed: at least one more CF8 Release Candidate

2007-07-09 Thread Peter Tilbrook
Great news from the the CF dev team - expect at least one more release 
candidate for ColdFusion 8 (aka Scorpio).

The team appears to agree that RC1 was't right on the button - as close as it 
is.

So when Adobe release RC2 (or public beta 2) grab it and try to break it.

Remember even the documentation is beta so look for swear words and easter 
eggs.

ColdFusion 8 is coming - you cannot stop it - you can however help make it 
awesome.

Re: Dreamweaver extensions for CF8

2007-07-08 Thread Peter Tilbrook
Doubtful.

For starters you require special permission from Adobe to host sites even under 
CF8.

A gold disk is premature. There are many issues in the public beta (or RC - 
for Andy Scott) that I am not convinced have been rectified without another 
release candidate. CF has been the backbone of my company for 12 years (CF 
turns 12 tomorrow - the 10th of July). CF8 is cementing that relationship more 
than ever. Release it when it is ready and not before.

One hosting provider offers CF8 hosting - but bizarrely anything you uploaded 
would not execute like it did on your local dev box. Waste of time really.

Folks like Ben Forta, Ray Camden and Adobe themselves are already doing that. 
If they are running a version of CF8 that no-one else has - especially the beta 
testers who have been running with it since Alpha 1 - well - not happy Jan!

Oh yeah and if you have the RAM - CF8 and SQL Server 2005 run happily on XP 
Tablet Edition.

No he is correct. On the Adobe Pre-Release site it is RC (or release candidate 
1) - elsewhere it is a public beta. They are at the time of writing the same 
thing however. The downloads, the docs, the extensions - are the same. I would 
expect at least one more RC before release unless the Adobe Engineers have 
really pulled out all guns. Personally would prefer at least one more RC than 
have to patch down the track.

No. But you can use the CFGRID control for the display of tabular data (or 
queries).

ColdFusion Scorpio (Release Candidate due any day now) also allows for Rich 
Text entry using the included FCK Editor (though not in Flash forms sadly). No 
other updates to flash forms either as Adobe would rather you used Flex instead 
which is a pity.

Re: Purchasing ColdFusion

2007-05-19 Thread Peter Tilbrook
PHP lol!

ColdFusion (Cold Fusion initially) has been around since before it's subtle 
commercial release in 1995 (courtesy of JJ and Jeremy Allaire). Then Nick 
Bradbury added to it's popularity when Allaire Inc. acquired HomeSite - then 
to become ColdFusion Studio - since discontinued and appears HomeSite+ 5.5 is 
the last of breed.

Then along came Macromedia. Fools. They integrated CFML into Dreamweaver (tag 
completion etc) - still about the best IDE for Web Development with good code 
centric stuff also. Oh - and they re-wrote CFML to run on the J2EE platform - 
silly move.

Along came the Adobe spider and swallowed up Macromedia - and grabbed CF, 
Flash, Flex, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, etc.

Fireworks, Dreamweaver and Flash survived the inevitable product cull. Freehand 
did not (but come on even in MX form it sucked).

ColdFusion however is a major part of Adobe's server line so never a better 
time to if not learn CFML, but to also learn how it integrates with Flex, 
Flash, SMS, .Net, Java, Email and the hundreds of other things it can do out of 
the box... in less code.

Nearly 12 years later and am still learning more about CF everyday.

Tim Buntel just mentioned this deal only recently. Check the link above.

But essentially:

You know you want Scorpio when it ships, but you have a project that you need 
to work on now. Oh, what to do? Fear not! We have a nice deal going on now with 
2 partners who can set you up with CFMX 7 Enterprise for 25% off the list price 
when you buy with a subscription. The subscription, of course, means that you 
get any release during the subscription period for free. Ergo, free Scorpio 
upgrade.

Re: Speeding up first hit compile time

2007-05-13 Thread Peter Tilbrook
As CF improves, markedly of late, this should not be an issue.

Yes CF seems to take ages to execute the first template upon a restart (as the 
libraries are loaded) but after that it flies.

If you are having issues I would look at your setup - is the database server on 
the same box, system RAM, etc.

CF is getting faster and faster but will not help with not quite right code 
or trying to use CF as a database server.

The dreaded question of intellectual property

2007-03-21 Thread Peter Tilbrook
Have had an issue for an unyet finished project (despite working my arse off on 
it) where the client wants full ownership of the resultant code.

I am very unhappy about this for several reasons:

1. Their remuneration is pathetic (AUD$21 per hour compared to my usual rate of 
$65+) - I got close to that much slave labour trawling through 8,000 boxes of 
dusty file boxes.

2. This will be a major business tool - total automation via ColdFusion, SQL 
Server, EFTPOS, email, Credit Card processing and pure Adobe Acrobat paperless 
output, most of their business processes, with import/export between notebook 
databases and the main system, and SMS integration.

3. Our host is useless and despite many attempts to get answers they still do 
not have secure SSL. I have started looking for a new home for them 
surreptitiously.

4. They do not own licenses for either ColdFusion or SQL Server - ouch for them?

5. There are a LOT of other businesses that would be interested in what I am 
creating. So why would I sell so cheaply (or at all).

And the new features (site description rather than crappy keywords, which by

And I love the site preview - how cool!

So yeah fix the paging issue (one template for each alpha/numeric letter.

Then worry about paging when you get a 100 or more S's or something :)

2007-03-04 Thread Peter Tilbrook
Funny you should say that as Rey had discussions with Adobe (Tim Buntel in 
particular) about the original issue.

Ray Camden was almost ropable about people not even knowing what ColdFusion (or 
CFML) was - despite being as old, if not older, that ASP.

But Ray ensured that Programmers tools saw the light.

Close to twelve years down the track it is amazing that so many web 
developers have never heard of ColdFusion or CFML. Blame Allaire, Macromedia, 
Adobe, New Atlanta - or Microsoft

But Rey has made a real effort. I need more non intranet sites to prove he 
isn't wasting his time.

Oh and Damon Cooper - forget blogging about car racing - we want more CF8 info!

Actually, for security, I would avoid using a hard-coded directory and do 
something like:

cffile action=UPLOAD filefield=ImageFile 
destination=#expandpath(images/content)# nameconflict=MAKEUNIQUE

It helps keep the directory structure of you server more secure from potential 
hackers.

eg:

cftry
cffile action=UPLOAD filefield=ImageFile 
destination=#expandpath(images/content)# nameconflict=MAKEUNIQUE
cfcatch type=any
cfinclude template=dsp_upload_error.cfm
cfabort
/cfcatch

Re: CF Exam Certification Study Gruop

2007-01-13 Thread Peter Tilbrook
I ended up buying both the study guides (since CF4.5) and CFMX Exam Buster also.

 Wow Ben, you would like some feedback on your CF questions?
 
 I think they are pretty good, however, I liked them even better when I 
 originally authored them for CFMX Exam Buster (http://centrasoft.com).
 
 
 You completely plagiarized my product, CFMX Exam Buster!  100% 
 identical, no attempt to even try and alter the questions/answers.
 
 Here is a page I spent my entire morning putting together as evidence 
 and I invite the entire House Of Fusion community to view:
 http://www.centrasoft.com/stuff/index.htm
 
 This page shows Ben's purchase date of CFMX Exam Buster and screen 
 snapshots of his questions and screenshots from CFMX Exam Buster 
 (which has been on the market for almost 6 years).
 
 I spend a lot of time and effort putting together a very high quality 
 product and make it available to the ColdFusion community at an 
 extremely reasonable price.  
 CFMX Exam Buster has received many accolades and high praise from 
 quite a few CF gurus and dozens of developers.
 
 To have someone, such as yourself Ben, come along and completely steal 
 my work is a complete slap in the face.  Passing off my work as your 
 own in a public forum such as CF-Talk, and accepting praise from your 
 fellow CF developers.  Shameful by you and damaging to me.
 
 Sincerely,
 Brian Simmons
 author of CFMX Exam Buster
 
 PS. Thanks for wasting 2 hours of my life this morning having to 
 gather evidence and respond to you.  I'd much rather be doing that 
 than playing with my daughter.
 
 Hey all, I don't know what you have decided on, but over the last 
 few
 days I threw this together. It's probably not too helpful now (more 
 of a
 proof of concept), but you might want to take a look. At the very 
 least,
 I would love some feedback.

Re: help on the cfif code

2006-10-27 Thread Peter Tilbrook
Alex

Have you tested if the code is definitely dropping to the 'else'
condition when there are no records being retrieved

- try out putting the recordcount to make sure you know what you are
getting back from the query or dumping the contents before the
conditional block

- on the else condition, try doing a dump or something (assuming you
have a test/dev server) of the query results so that you know that you
are dropping in to the else condition ok e.g. cfdump var=#risorse#

See what happens there?

If a CFQUERY returns no records it does not exist so there is no way to test 
for zero records as no result is produced.

You need to tackle it along the lines of:

cfif MyQuery.RecordCount

Yes a result was made - ColdFusion has results ready to be handled.

cfelse

Na da. No response from the database (no records returned).

All Adobe ColdFusion products to be discontinued

2006-08-04 Thread Peter Tilbrook
From the ColdFusion newsgroup



My insider told me that the CF model didn't fit in with what they
(Adobe) have planned.  They see the app server market as worthless,
they are probably right with similar free products like PHP around.

They are probably focusing on new products that are more applicable to
the future - like Flex. CF has kind of got a reputation (rightly or
wrongly) as a beginers way to enter programming. Its kind of got a
stigma attached to it as being old fashioned and a bit of a toy
language. Thats a shame as it's nice to have basic languages for people
to learn programming with.

What more do you need to tell that an email fails? it is all their for you.

ColdFusion is 10 years old and this is probably that most basic of tags.
Jochen provided a good way hosts deal with the undeliverable.

The ability to store CFMAIL messages in the application that actually generated 
them. A boon when on a shared server they keep changing email settings for.

Re: Java 1.5 / 5 support.

2006-07-17 Thread Peter Tilbrook
From a client perspective I am running the latest beta of JRE (JRE 5.0 beta 
6 about to upgrade to JRE 5.0 beta 7).

From the client end the new versions seem to perform a lot better but have NOT 
affected CF it seems. Note that this is a development machine only. But both 
JRun 4.0 (updater 6) and CFMX7.0.2 perform as good as ever.

Un-installing previous JRE's appears to have no impact on what JRun or CFMX7x 
uses so no issues there either.

Re: Java 1.5 / 5 support.

2006-07-17 Thread Peter Tilbrook
Cool, but as noted - you are running a non-supported JVM version, Adobe will
not touch it/support it.

Of course but server supported Java is very different from client 
supported. And as a developer I like to experience what the end user will 
experience. Point is the J2SE runtime environment does not appear to affect how 
ColdFusion performs on the server.

Turn on J2EE session variables. And USE session variables. Client vars are

Re: CFMX7 and IE6 Best Practice Needed

2006-05-31 Thread Peter Tilbrook
I do that with ColdOfficeView (coldofficeview.coldgen.com) so it is possible 
with javascript.


 I’m looking for a best practice I should start off I’m open to change, 
 typically when I have a application where a parent (main form) has say 
 10 records sitting in a table and at the end of each record I provide 
 a link to Modify/delete the record. When the users clicks the link it 
 opens another window (cfm template) to modify/delete that record, 
 click update/delete on the child window to update the database then 
 you have to manually refresh the parent window because of IE6 security 
 you cant force a refresh in JavaScript from what I’ve researched.

This is similar to how Macromedia/Adobe license ColdFusion 7 and JRun. More

Re: Enterprise Manager in a shared hosting situation

2006-02-06 Thread Peter Tilbrook
I'm with Mike on this one (same provider) and have been using Enterprise 
Manager for years with no issues and a full understanding of the security 
implications. EM can be slow but the new EM for SQL 2005 seems to be a bit 
better - not that I will need to use it apart from local db's it seems.

One thing I do not like about EM is you get a full list of databases on the 
server and not just your own so that could be a security weakness if people do 
not have strong passwords.

Mind you the provider has Northwind installed on a live server. Even on my dev 
boxes I remove it.

I've found many UDF's that were designed for CF5 work with CFMX 7. Funny

Well turns out that CF uses MD5, which is a little different then LM hashes
used for windows passwords.  I just need to get (or generate) the Rainbow
tables first, and then it should be a piece of cake.

Ill give you another.  Just to make sure its all kosher.

Lets say a normal password string, could include numbers and letters, max
length of 20, min length of 6.  That should narrow it down some for you.  No
spaces either.

RE: SQL Server 2005 and CF?

2005-11-27 Thread Peter Tilbrook
I don't think it supports CF yet. Tried in vain to get it to work with
CF7.01. Like the new Enterprise Manager though but stuck with SQL Server
2000 for now it seems.

Subject: SQL Server 2005 and CF?

OS: WinXP Professional (SP2)
CF: CFMX 6.1 Professional
DB: SQL Server 2005 Express

Having issues getting a DSN set up (without resorting to ODBC via the OS).
Anybody successfully gotten this working?

I downloaded the SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver Beta 2 from
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/downloads/jdbc.mspx.

Installed to C:\Program Files (the default install).

In the CF Administrator, under datasources, I entered the datasource name
('comix'), and selected 'Other' for Driver.

Here are the settings that I've tried on the screen that followed:

JDBC URL: jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=comix
Driver Class: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc Driver Name:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc

Error message is:
Connection verification failed for data source: comix
[]java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver available for comix, please
check the driver setting in resources file, error:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver available
for comix, please check the driver setting in resources file, error:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc

I've found bits and pieces of information that are almost relevant, but none
that are 100%. For example:

Kola Oyedeji has a blog posting that discusses  JDBC logging with P6spy and
CFMX.  Not relevant to SQL Server 2005 (or any version of SQL Server), but
had some good info about JDBC drivers.
(http://64.233.187.104/default?q=cache:27tXDmhYjhkJ:coolskool.blog-city.com/
+meaning+of+bloghl=en)

MM themselves have a tech note, but it's regarding SQL Server 2000, not
2005.
(http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_18652)

I also looked at the documentation that came with the driver.  The settings
that I've posted above are kind of an amalgam of what I was able to glean
from the 3 sources combined.

Oh...the other variable in the equation is the classpath.

I've tried:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver\sqljdbc_1.0\enu
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC
Driver\sqljdbc_1.0\enu\sqljdbc.jar
F:\CFusionMX\lib\sqljdbc.jar

the first two were the location of the jar file by the default driver
installation (tried both with and without the filename itself).  The last
was due to a suggestion that Kola had made regarding placing the jar file in
the CFusion\lib directory (I copied the file over over...wasn't sure if that
would require a classpath variable, but figured it wouldn't hurt to try).
CFMX service was cycled after each time I modified the classpath var.

Been at this for a while, and really ready to give up and take a nap (it's
7:30 am Sunday morning).  Anybody have any info they can share?

Oh, and yes, I've made sure that SQL Server is using TCP on port 1433 :)

Thanks

Re: CFqueryParam

2004-08-11 Thread Peter Tilbrook
As far as the CF5 docos go the following attributes are support under it for CFQUERYPARAM:

• CF_SQL_BIGINT
• CF_SQL_BIT
• CF_SQL_CHAR
• CF_SQL_DATE
• CF_SQL_DECIMAL
• CF_SQL_DOUBLE
• CF_SQL_FLOAT
• CF_SQL_IDSTAMP
• CF_SQL_INTEGER
• CF_SQL_LONGVARCHAR
• CF_SQL_MONEY
• CF_SQL_MONEY4
• CF_SQL_NUMERIC
• CF_SQL_REAL
• CF_SQL_REFCURSOR
• CF_SQL_SMALLINT
• CF_SQL_TIME
• CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP
• CF_SQL_TINYINT
• CF_SQL_VARCHAR

Whereas CFMX6.1 seems to support:

• CF_SQL_BIGINT
• CF_SQL_BIT
• CF_SQL_CHAR
• CF_SQL_BLOB
• CF_SQL_CLOB
• CF_SQL_DATE
• CF_SQL_DECIMAL
• CF_SQL_DOUBLE
• CF_SQL_FLOAT
• CF_SQL_IDSTAMP
• CF_SQL_INTEGER
• CF_SQL_LONGVARCHAR
• CF_SQL_MONEY
• CF_SQL_MONEY4
• CF_SQL_NUMERIC
• CF_SQL_REAL
• CF_SQL_REFCURSOR
• CF_SQL_SMALLINT
• CF_SQL_TIME
• CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP
• CF_SQL_TINYINT
• CF_SQL_VARCHAR

So my guess is the BLOB/CLOB is not supported under CF5.

Thanks Kay, it's amazing how frequently our paths cross on the net. 

I've looked at XStandard one, and it uses an ACTIVEX control which means it
will fail to work when WinXPPro SP2 comes out in a few weeks, just like all
flash will fail.All ActiveX controls will fail unless they are from
Microsoft, as I understand it,or have I got the wrong idea with that? 

And Massimo Foti's WYSIWYG at cfmentor.com is by far the most promising. It
runs as a coldfusion custom tag, (or cfmodule if you prefer) but it only
works on IE6+.If you have mozilla users or netscape users you're stuffed.
And it would be good to be able to offer a choice of styles from the site's
style sheet instead of giving them the raw styling commands. Instead of
Bold, Underline, Italics etc, I'd like to have a drop down that lets me use
the styles as in the style sheet (i.e. headline, byline, story body,
story teaser etc) But within those limitations, I guess it qualifies
Kay, so I have to change my statement to I have a list of one.

RE: OT Plagiarism accusation stops posting

2004-06-17 Thread Peter Tilbrook
Well unfortunately it seems to be myself that has committed the crime of
plagiarism.

I can certainly say that it was not intentional - nor was it deliberate. I
have great respect for the EasyCFM tutorials and either neglected to
properly quite an original author or the fell by the wayside with the
conversion to HTML for the actual tutorial.

Either way I do not look very professional for attempting to claim as my own
material tutorials of such a high calibre. Certainly this was never the
attempt as I believe sites like EasyCFM, Defusion.co, are very good for the
CF community.

I understand that attempts were made to contact me via email and I apologise
for cancelling the email account at about the same time - at that stage more
than 90% of my emails were - well, spam.

I have in the past endeavoured to spread the work for all sorts of web
development initiatives and not just ColdFusion (see www.actcfug.com) (over
100 links).

It was never a attempt to say that the great articles I forwarded were
mine but to put them out there. I did not do that very well and apologise
sincerely for that.

Kind Regards,

Peter Tilbrook

Subject: RE: OT Plagiarism accusation stops posting

Michael,

While I haven't read the article/tutorials in question, I'm guessing that it
isn't a matter of plagiarizing the technical content.I'd bet that it is
most specifically that the verbiage is a match.
It would be difficult to write a tutorial for a general technique that did
not germinate from somewhere or someone else.This is most especially true
when the author, yourself in this case, is actively monitoring a community
resource such as this list.The real differentiator is how the material is
presented - which is likely very personal.The words that you might select
to convey to the reader an important point or the order of the steps
determined by how you want to emphasize something.In fact, one might say
that if you cannot see your personal mark stamped on it, then at least one
of two things might be true: the material is too simple and may not warrant
the writing effort or you need to buff your writing skills a bit.
I've written a number of published bits and I've asked myself those kinds of
questions each time.Certainly this *did not* make each article a perfect
piece of work but it did allow me to examine my work and try to improve the
next time around - though editors have a habit of skimming certain bits of
identity out of works, but that is a different discussion...
If you speak in your own voice I'm confident that you can avoid being
accused of plagiarism.You might consider revisiting your work and look at
it asking those kinds of things.If you can re-edit the work to better
satisfy them then you should *definitely* advance toward publishing it.The
community needs more writers.

Knowledge gets lost if it is not recorded.What everyone knows now may
one day have to be reasoned out again as the field changes and people move
onto other efforts.Unrecorded knowledge diminishes the community.

RE: saving files in homesite.... slooooow!

2004-06-07 Thread Peter Tilbrook
Further to this. Is it possible, as our hard-drives get larger, and our
expectations similar we are asking for too much in too little a time?

9 years ago when CFML was first introduced things were VERY different
indeed.

However indeed now - BACK OFF - and give your PC a break. Play games?
Running a SQL Server? Same box? No wonder!

Heh! But I am doing that too! CFMX 6.1 - SQL Server 2000 SP3, BlueDragon,
Norton Anti...

And can still safely play Halo PC or Return to Castle Wolf online!

I just want to +1 this, although for me, the issue was only for network
shares. Norton would slow down saves so that they took 10-15 seconds each. I
simply started disabling it. (But again, this wasn't a local drive.)

RE: QofQ problem -closing in on the problem..

2004-06-07 Thread Peter Tilbrook
Mike, if using CF use the CFINPUT and use validatenumeric or at least
integer.

Subject: RE: QofQ problem -closing in on the problem.. 

Ok I've narrowed the problem down a little.The error is generated by
having non-numeric information in the 'postcode' field.(It's a varchar
field in the database so there's no problem with that I think).I don't
think we need to have the postcode restricted to numeric data at source -
what if someone wants to put 'N/A' in the postcode field?

Anyway, there are several queries on different tables and datasources, and
the resulting queries are merged into one temporary query to be processed
with a QofQ.The query is created with the following: 

[quote]

cfset thislist = Querynew(email, firstname, lastname, StreetAddress,
Suburb, Postcode, source, newsletter, emailsent)

[/quote]

Why would this query hiccup if non-numeric info is put into the 'postcode'
field in the query?I thought ColdFusion was typeless?I would have
thought a queryofquery wouldn't care if there was numericdata in the
'postcode' field or not. Am I wrong on that? And what do I do about
it?

Subject: RE: QofQ problem - can you see what i've got wrong here please?

So does anyone know what would be causing this error message?I'm not even
sure what to be looking for.It seems to be complaining about a field with
a series of semicolons (;) in it but there aren't any in the database, or in
the code.

Any hints about what it means?

The error is: must be interprettable as a valid number in the
current locale

 i am very sorry for asking u guys for the software...

Hi Vishnu,

I understand that, giving indian salaries, you can't afford the software. In
such a case, the best thing to do is to contact the author directely and
explain your situation.

In the past I've got a few similar requests from students that weren't in a
position to afford software that I've written and always tried to do
something for them. Hope it may works for you as well.

Our creative director is about to send a new logo off to the printers and I
just want to check with the fine cftalk community to make sure we are not
using anything too similar to another ColdFusion shop's current logo.

 
Here's a black and white concept version:

 
HYPERLINK

Please email me directly (mail4tylerATgslsolutions.com) if you know of
another logo that is similar. I apologize for being so far off topic, but
there is something familiar with our current design of choice, and if I have
seen it somewhere before, I thinking it might be from clicking on someone's
signature in this forum. Thanks in advance-

Serious breach of NDA - a polite warning

2004-05-14 Thread Peter Tilbrook
To breach any NDA is quite a serious offence.

A serious breach has occurred.

If you are already aware of the breach to the NDA do yourself a favour and forget about it. Do not replicate (re-publish) any information about it or a link to it. Do not discuss it on this list.

When MM are ready they will let us know.

As a CF user of 9 years let me dream about what is coming up.

Knock any further discussion of the breach on the head until MM themselves say otherwise. Report anything to MM themselves.

We are so lucky to have a company like MM (with Allaire team members) let us not let them down, please!

RE: New CFMX Colour Scheme tool on line.

2004-04-01 Thread Peter Tilbrook
A colour picker to assist with choosing would be a great addon feature. 

-Original Message-

Subject: New CFMX Colour Scheme tool on line.

For my own benefit, I have been developing a colour schemer tool, and I've
put it on my web site for others to use, comment about, help me improve.
If you have coldfusion servers yourself, I am going to put it in the dev
gallery at Macromedia soon.

There are lots of colour development tools around, I know, but I got into
doing my own because all the tools I have known about use _javascript_ and the
scheme can't be saved.For example there's a great one at
http://www.pixy.cz/apps/barvy/index-en.htmlbut if you click anywhere on
the page, or try to cut and paste the colour numbers, it changes the scheme
and you can't get back again easily.The only way to record the scheme you
work on so hard, is to get a pen and paper and write down all the colour
numbers.

So I started developing my own, so I can produce a chart for each site I'm
working on with the colours I've decided on for the site listed out.I've
put it on my web site and I'd really appreciate if you could go have a look,
and let me know if there's any way I can make it more useful, any features I
should add. My one uses no _javascript_ at all, and the form uses the GET
method, so you can email the URL and get the same results every time.You
can email the url once you're happy with the colours you've selected and the
receiver will see what you see as well.

You can use either the full HEX colour number (e.g. #3366CC)or the 3
character abbreviation (e.g. #36C) and you select the number of steps you
want between the first and last colour.It'll show you all the colours in
between the two and samples of text in the different colours. You might
also be interested to know there are no tables on this page- it's all done
with CSS2.
