Re: Can this be done?
2 types of JPG that can cause problems: CMYK and progressive JPEG. As others have noted on this thread, this is not just a problem with the image engine used by CF, but is a problem with any browser as well. CMYK images will *not* (in my experience) convert properly within CF image functions. As Chuck noted, you can look into the colorspace to determine some of these potential pitfalls, but I find that isImage() is my single greatest friend when it comes to these JPG issues. MIMETypes are no help, of course, since these are really binaries within the correct MIME space ... there just happens to be some critical variation within that space. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

There are several things which could be wrong. - Unidentified, or incorrect, color profile - Image is in CMYK.

Re: Can this be done?
We were aware of the security issues so we do upload to a temporary location, we then check the sizing of the images and create thumbnails and reduce the size to the correct size. The weird thing is the images that do not work - are images. If we pull the file down, open it in PhotoShop and re save the image and upload it back to the correct folder all works fine. So using the isImage() function I am not sure if that will solve this. Question I have is if you save an image as a CMYK format and then use CF to manipulate that image, will it create an issue where the browser can not render it correctly and place a missing image. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: Can this be done?
Take that proactive approach a step further and grab a known good image URL, and a known bad image URL. Dump the headers and compare. Worst case scenario, nothing seems out of the ordinary. Then you could do something else like build a valid list of mime types (valid to you and your app) and at least compare the results to that list. -Original Message- From: Matthew Friedman [mailto:m...@hozgroup.com] Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2010 4:43 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Can this be done?

Does a user have to have interaction on the homepage? If the classes are defined by time, you could do something simple like have the homepage check the date and time and show the classes that fall within the current date and time range.

Re: Can this be done
Hi there
Is there anything simpler than that.
Hi there
Iâm in the process of finalising the developing an application to handle
personal training sessions at a gym â basically there are 6 or more personal
trainers who each have more than 60 clients that they work with for ½ hour up
to 2 hour sessions. A person at the front desk manages their bookings.
Basically Iâm developing a system for the gym to enable the person at the
front desk to enter details of bookings etc. These details will once entered
into the system will be in one of 3 states.
1. Waiting bookings
2. Bookings in process
3. Completed bookings
On the front screen of the application Iâm planning on displaying â current
bookings in process and underneath that waiting bookings.
E.G.
Sessions in Progress
Trainer RoomStart FinishRemaining TimeOverTime Manage
Sandra1 05:09 PM 06:09 PM Time has Passed 5 Minutes(s) Edit
E.G.
Waiting Bookings
Trainer RoomStart FinishRemaining TimeOverTime Manage
Rob1 06:00 PM 07:00 PM Waiting N/A Edit
I was initially thinking once the Edit link was clicked open up a pop-up window
to let the user edit the record. Is there a better way so basically the user
can just click a button and then by clicking on that button the status would be
changed.
Another couple of points â I have set the page to refresh every 60 seconds so
that way it will be easy for reception to quickly determine how long is
remaining in any given session.
The question I have relates to the following:
Take the bottom part of the screen (bookings made but the session has not yet
started). These will be displayed. I would like to somehow give the user a
simple way to start a booking. I was thinking of letting the user click on the
little Edit link under manage and open a pop-up window to edit the record and
change the status from waiting to session started.
And similarly I would like to make it easy for a person to be able to click a
button to indicate that a current booking has been completed â i.e. click on
a button then it would change the status from current to complete.
Just wondering what would be the simplest yet effective implementation. I was
thinking of using AJAX but at this stage I havenât used AJAX previously so
not too sure about it.
The idea of opening up a pop-up window and letting a user edit the record would
work but it seems a little cumbersome and not really that user friendly.
Any ideas.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Can this be done
Pete,
I would look into jQuery for AJAX. It is rockin' simple:
$( "input.status" ).click(
function(){
var jCheckbox = $( this );
$.get(
"change_status.cfm",
{ id: jCheckbox.attr( "id" ) },
function(){ ... Callback ... }
);
}
);

Can this be done
I am developing an application for a gym. On the home page of the application I am currently displaying details of personal training sessions which are in progress, and also thos sessions which are waiting to be started. Sessions in progress P/TrainerRoom # Start Time Finish Time Remaing Time Rob 17:00 8:00 25 mins Mick 27308:30 55 mins Sessions waiting to start P/TrainerRoom # Start Time Finish Time Remaing Time Rob 1 Mick 2 I have also set this page up to referesh every 60 seconds - this part works well and as intended. I could I guess add a button for each record which would allow a user to edit each record individually, but am wondering if there is another simpler way that this could be done - e.g. maybe a checkbox which the user checks and then when the screen refeshes any records with checkboxes marked have their status changed. Basically I want to enable a user to be able to effortlessly indicate that a session has been completed so that record does not continue to be displayed). Also I want the user to indicate that a session has moved from the waiting state to the active state. I was thinking of including a check box which can be clicked - to indicate that a record can move from the wating state to current. Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.

You can, in theory, put the response into an application or server variable in the handler from the event gateway and have JS poll a CF page that looks for a response. Heres a sample implementation. User enters in question in form on webpage. Javascript submits question via XMLHTTP post to CF page. CF Page posts question to MSN user and prefixes a UUID (or the users CFID/CFToken/JSessionID/any unique ID) to the question. For example: WebsiteMSN_User: [987124] - Do you guys sell widgets? And returns that unique as the response of the XMLHTTP request. Javascript holds that number in memory and polls a different page (getResponse.cfm?msgID=987124) every 5-10 seconds (or uses a hanging get, whatever you prefer) passing that number as a parameter to the page. MSN user responds, prefixing the same code to his response MSNUser: [987124] - we do sell widgets, click on Cogs/Widgets on the top menu bar and you will see it You would add an application variable in your msn event gateway incoming message handler that would create a variable Finally, the getResponse.cfm page would look for that variable and if it found it, return it and structDelete it so you dont have too many variables sitting in memory. Its not elegant, but it will work without a DB. ~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2. Build powerful, scalable RIAs.

But I am not able to figure out how to show the user the response, other then letting the gateway add it to the DB, and let the app pull it from the DB.

Just use the target attribute in the for each link and point it to the other frame. -Kevin - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2003 8:13 AM Subject: RE: Can this be done?? > http://developer.irt.org/script/script.htm ... the _javascript_ > FAQ's learned most of my js there many moons ago... don't know how > up to date it is but certainly give you examples of things that you > could use to achieve what you want > > > -Original Message- > From: Bushy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 26 November 2003 14:02 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Can this be done?? > > > Do you know where I could find some examples? > > --Original Message Text--- > From: Heald, Tim > Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2003 08:56:10 -0500 > > _javascript_. > > > > -Original Message----- > From: Bushy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2003 8:56 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: re: Can this be done?? > > Hi, > > I have a frame split in half (topframe & bottomframe). > > I the top frame I'm listing directories/files which have links to them. > Beside each directory/file is an image that when clicked I want to send > the link information to the bottom frame as the path.

RE: Can this be done?
OK, here's a small UDF that includes Ryan's list of search URL's. The list
is embedded in CFScript per Ray Camden's request so the UDF is not dependent
on an outside file. The format for the data is pretty straightforward, url
and possible search criteria keys.
As of right not it creates the patterns structure outside the UDF and caches
it in Application scope, which violates some of cflib.org's standards, so I
may have to modify before submitting, moving the structKeyExists check
inside the UDF.
If anyone has time, please test it out. I'll submit to cflib.org shortly.
Thanks,
Sam

Wow, great list!

RE: Can this be done?
Here's a start. I started collecting this data quite some time ago, and it only represents search engines that people used to find sites where I've collected this data. In other words, this isn't exactly a comprehensive list and you can already see where minor variations on the URL could cause a big headache. What I have at this page is a list of Search Engine URLs that directed user's to my site, as well as the query string variable to holds the search term. I also have the generic search name (for instance google.com, google.ca, google.it, google.co.uk, et al. is just "Google") in there.

I would hate to hard code all that data inside the UDF.

RE: Can this be done?
I would think that the majority of search traffic is concentrated in a couple of engines--mostly Google and Yahoo. Even if you get a list of a few dozen, it's not a big deal to check the referrer and grab this info. Would make a nice little UDF. Sounds like the competitor is overstating their claims to the client. I'd suggest creating a page that does the same thing and showing it to the client on 4-5 different search engines. Tell them you never had a request for this before but it is easily accomplished. My $0.02.

RE: Can this be done?
Well how do the stats packages come up with "the 10 most common search keywords used to find your pages" then? There must be some variable passed that appears in the logs somewhere. No? If that goes in the logs somewhere, it can be used, I'd have thought. But certainly I'd be very cautious about using any system that depends heavily on browser information - http_referer or suchlike, because many users block that info by way of their firewalls or because they are behind a router. You can have hundreds of people in a building using only a few ip addresses and that can skew all kinds of systems. I'm just saying don't build any application that REQUIRES info back from the browser in order to function, unless you're ready to deal with the user calls "I CAN'T GET INTO YOUR SITE! WHAT DO I DO!? YOU CALL YOURSELF A CUSTOMER ORIENTED ORGANISATION?? I'M GOING TO RESPORT YOU TO THE CONSUMERS ASSOCIATION. NO WAIT .. YOU *ARE* THE CONSUMERS ASSOCIATION! REPORT YOURSELVES THEN."

RE: Can this be done?
Che, I'm guessing that the competitor did a poor job (or a very good job - ha) of explaining how he could use the HTTP_Referer variable to figure out how a user is searching and finding the site. If not, then I'd say he's violating security on the client side somehow. I would also note to your potential client that such techniques are not terribly reliable accross all ranges of browsers. -Mark -Original Message- From: Che Vilnonis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 11:08 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Can this be done?

Open up IIS, and click on the properties of the website in question. Click on the home directory tab. Then click Configuration.

Just go into the IIS config... website properties... Home Directory tab... and click CONFIGURATION. Look at the .cfm entry and how it's set up... then set up another entry for htm or .html (whichever you like) that looks identical.

RE: Can this be done?
Haven't tried this, but I think you can go into the Internet Services Manager under Admin Tools, go the Properties for the Default Web Site (or sub directory), choose the Home Directory tab and click on the Configuration button. Under Application Mappings, add .htm and point it to the same .dll used by the version of CF you are using. You should see the mappings already set up for the .CFM files there. I've played around with this to have CF process .css style sheets...

or to fillup each column first before starting a new row. int(currentrow / ((recordcount+1)/columns)) example 10 records, 2 columns 1/((10+1)/2)=0 <=== designate the column to display 2/((10+1)/2)=0 3/((10+1)/2)=0 4/((10+1)/2)=0 5/((10+1)/2)=0 6/((10+1)/2)=1 7/((10+1)/2)=1 8/((10+1)/2)=1 9/((10+1)/2)=1 10/((10+1)/2)=1 sample output filename filename could be cleaned up lots - done quickly.

RE: Can this be done?
I know how to do this with a query, and that's all that a CFDIRECTORY call is right? You would use current row and mod and nested tables to make it work. Say you wanted to have it 5 or 10 high ten you would do something like cfif currentrow mod 10 is 0 and end your current table and start the new one within that if. It is a lot easier to do it horizontally though.

RE: Can this be done?
You can reference the query by bracket syntax and do a nested loop as such: #qResults.fieldName[currentIndex]# NOTE, that code is not tested. It's just give you the idea/theory behind it.
