Re: cfcontent changing name of file
Hi Claude No classroom.cfm is the file that serves up the handouts. person clicks on a link: classroom.cfm?handout=session1.pdf classroom.cfm has cfheader name=Content-disposition value=inline;filename=#handout# / cfcontent type=application/pdf file=#handoutfile# deleteFile = no / handoutfile is the full path and file name This displays the file fine in the browser, but attempts to save it using the browser pdf save function will try to save it as classroom.pdf Interesting I just discovered that if I use the browsers save file it is saving it as session1.pdf My issue is with the browser's pdf reader save function.

Re: cfcontent changing name of file
Hi Claude It appears on all browsers. i think the issue is in the adobe pdf reader, not picking up the file name. it seems to fall under the rubric. Just when I thought I had idiot proofed the system they invented a more advanced idiot. My solution for now, or what I am prepared to put time into is to create a view link and a download link.

Re: CFCONTENT does not reset
I came across a problem with CFCONTENT. Even if the attribute RESET=yes is used, the content which was previously set by cfhtmlhead is not reset. Ex 1: cfhtmlhead text = 'This is in the head section' cfcontent type=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 RESET=yes This shouldn't have the head section. /cfcontent Ex 2: headThis is in the head section/head cfcontent type=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 RESET=yes This shouldn't have the head section. /cfcontent In Ex 1, the text This is in the head section still appears in the page. In the ex 2 it does not. Is this a bug, or an undocumented feature ? Anyway, is there some way I could clear what was previously set with cfhtmlhead ? I believe this is the expected behavior. Once you use any functionality that explicitly writes part of the response (CFHTMLHEAD, CFHEADER, etc) you can't use functionality that lets you manipulate the storage buffer (CFCONTENT, CFFLUSH).

Re: CFCONTENT does not reset
Once you use any functionality that explicitly writes part of the response (CFHTMLHEAD, CFHEADER, etc) you can't use functionality that lets you manipulate the storage buffer (CFCONTENT, CFFLUSH). Not so sure about this. I've noticed that the effect of CFHTMLHEAD is to find the HEAD.../HEAD pair in the output at the end of the output creation and simply insert the text right before the /HEAD tag. If no HEAD tag is found, the text will be added at the beging of the output buffer. You may use HEAD.../HEAD after CFHTMLHEAD, even as the last line in your template, and text added by CFHTMLHEAD will still be inserted inside the HEAD.../HEAD pair which proves that the action is performed at time the output buffer is sent and not at the moment CFHTMLHEAD is executed. My understanding is that the RESET action is executed first, then the CFHTMLHEAD action. This last operation shoud be canceled by the RESET and it is not. IMHO it is definitely a bug. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:352062 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CFCONTENT does not reset
Once you use any functionality that explicitly writes part of the response (CFHTMLHEAD, CFHEADER, etc) you can't use functionality that lets you manipulate the storage buffer (CFCONTENT, CFFLUSH). I think it is actually the opposite: Once you have used CFCONTENT, CFFLUSH, you cannot use any functionality that explicitly writes part of the response (CFHTMLHEAD, CFHEADER, etc), simply because the output buffer is already gone. Look at the docs for CFHTMLHEAD: If you use this tag after the cfflush tag on a page, an error is thrown. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:352063 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: cfcontent to serve PDF files hanging
Jason, I am experiencing a similar problem. Did you ever find out exactly what was causing yours? thanks, Stephen Thank you for the ideas. We are going to change the mime/type and also add some I/O logging to see if we can find a correlation there. Should we find the issue I will certainly post back. Thanks for the time! Jason ON the other hand... I would expect a mime/type problem to result in an error on the browser - not a hanging request, unless of the course the hanging is the browsers cycling through choices to figure out how to display the file.

Re: CFcontent puts \n at top of file -- solution?
I am generating a text file from an online database that needs to be opened by the VB application with a CHR(10) character delimeter between fields. The end user clicks download in my application and then saves the file to their computer to use with the VB application (3rd party written). Here is an example of my code. When opening the text file locally, it alway's has a new line character at the top of the file which chokes the VB program. Any suggestions on an alternate way of doing this?

Re: cfcontent to serve PDF files hanging
Thank you for the ideas. We are going to change the mime/type and also add some I/O logging to see if we can find a correlation there. Should we find the issue I will certainly post back.

Re: cfcontent with excel 2007
I have not tried this, but what if you change the cfcontent type to unknown? Like so: cfcontent type=unknown cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=filename=report.xlsx On Thu, Dec 31, 2009 at 2:37 AM, Christophe Maso zum...@hotmail.com wrote: Have seen a few posts around the web with this problem, but no evident solution. I have a cfm page that I want to make exportable to excel 2007 (.xlsx file). From what I've seen here: http://blogs.msdn.com/vsofficedeveloper/pages/Office-2007-Open-XML-MIME-Types.aspx it looks like the correct MIME type for Excel 2007 (.xlsx) files is NOT vnd.ms-excel, but rather application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet . So, when the proper url var is passed to the page, I include these lines of code: cfcontent type=application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet cfheader name=Content-Type value=application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=filename=report.xlsx And in that case the user is prompted to open or save the .xlsx file. However, Excel 2007 can't open the file; it gives an error message saying that the file format is not valid. No problem if I export it all using vnd.ms-excel as the MIME-type instead, but then it saves as an .xls file, not an .xlsx file. Any help on how I can get it to save as an .xlsx file? (Using CF8).

Re: Cfcontent MS Excel 2007 errors?
I've had the same problem, although the file will open after the user clicks yes. I Looked to see if there's a different MIME type to use for .xlsx files vs. .xls files, and there is (see http://blogs.msdn.com/vsofficedeveloper/pages/Office-2007-Open-XML-MIME-Types.aspx). But using that mime type didn't help at all; the file saved can't even be opened. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Richard,
You don't really need CFCONTENT (which actually sets up headers in the
browser). You are not trying to send your content to the output buffer of
IIS. Try cfsavecontent instead.

But a 'doc' file type is a binary file type is it not? In my experience
you can't just write simple text to a with a doc extension and get
anything useful. I could see this working with an plain text (.txt) or
rich text (.rtf) extension, but not a .doc extension.
To create binary .doc types I believe you need to use the Word com
object or the Java POI utilities do you not.

Put a .txt file on your desktop with some content in it, rename it to a .doc and open it. It works just fine, at least in Word 2007 it does. I could test Word 2000 at home.. Word does format detection to figure out what KIND of word doc it is. It'll realize that his file is an RTF document, and it'll realize that your plain text document (tested above) is a text document, and display it just fine. Same way you can write HTML tables to a file, save it with a .XLS extension, and have it open in Excel. Ri ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: cfcontent question
The first question I would ask is Why do they want the images stored in a non-web-accessible location If the answer is something lame like, they don't want users to be able to download them, then you can get around this whole issue as you can tell them that there is no way to totally prevent a user from downloading the image. If they have some valid answer like, they are concerned about people uploading something malicious or in that vein, then you can use several tricks to do it. If you have CF8, you can use the writeToBrowser function of CFIMAGE http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Tags_i_02.html Which allows you to load up any image from anywhere on a server into memory and then output it to the browser HTH =] -- Alan Rother Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Manager, Phoenix Cold Fusion User Group, AZCFUG.org ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

ToString converts the binary into a text encoding so that it can be sent to the browser. Without it you're probably getting the result of an error handler, as binary data can't be directly output without converting to a string and this will be causing an exception.

You can format to display zeros in any app including Excel, but formatting and actual data content are 2 different beasts. If your users will be importing the data into their accounting software as a true number, then who cares if it has leading zeros. I'm sure that the accounting database will not store a number with leading zeros anyway. If it does, then it is text, not numeric. If you are creating CSV content that is streamed and opened in Excel, you can use =0001234 and Excel will display the leading zeros. Keep in mind that even though Excel displays it as you wish, the CSV content still contains =0001234. So... col1,col2 1,=001 will display as you wish in Excel, but sure won't import straight into the accounting package. If the users are reviewing the data and possibly modifying before importing, then they can open in Excel using the above format, make their changes and save. When Excel save the file, the equal and double quotes are stripped and the new CSV content will be: col1,col2 1,001 which should import into most anything. But guess what? If they reopen the file in Excel, the leading zeros are gone! I think you really need to decide on what your requirement is; text formatted with leading zeros or an actual numeric value. Terry I am creating an excel file in cf7 and all works well except when a part number begins with a 0 - i need the number to always have 5 digits as in 01234 or 12345. i have tried doing a Numberformat(partnum, '0') to no avail. can i force using TabChar or something? noticed the the field in the created excel file will not accept a 0 even typed in manually. thanks in advance ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

Re: cfcontent - excel - numbers beginning with 0
Dunno how to do this from CF, but Excel allows you to set a format for a cell. So if you set the cell format as 'text', it won't strip the leading zeros. I just fired up Excel, set one column as a 'text' format, the next untouched, and typed in '01234' in both. The first one (text column) held the zero, the unformatted column stripped it. --Scott ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

Re: cfcontent - excel - numbers beginning with 0
You've got a bit of a contradiction in your statements. If it MUST remain numeric, then it's a number, and you can't care about leading zeros because from a numeric perspective 123 and 0123 are identical. If you do care about the leading zeros, then you can't be dealing with a numeric context, you must be dealing with a textual (or character-based) context. However, Excel does a pretty good job of implicit conversions, so I'd wager you can import a text column as numeric values if the data is clean (i.e. all numeric). cheers, barneyb On 9/13/07, andy mann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: tnx bb, as the visitor will be importing excel file into their acctg software, field must remain numeric... also anyone know how to apply col width as seems to default to 48px tnx again -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?

Re: cfcontent excel session and url variables
Good Afternoon, Thank you all for your replies. Initially, taking out the cfcontent tags did not yield any negative results. The page came back fine to the browser. Putting the tags back on, and looking at the log files more or less confirmed what was happening, I just don't know why. There is a behind the scene login process that occurs. We capture the windows login ID by using an activeX control, and storing it in a session variable. That activeX control is called on a page that is called with a cflocation in the onSessionStart of the Application.cfc. In the log files, it shows that login page trying to be called within the directory structure of the page trying to generate the excel. It appears, in some instances, that excel is not being recognized by the current session, depending on the variables being passed in the URL. We had tried using the URLencoded tag, which seemed to break things to a greater degree, for some reason. For the time being, we replaced the spaces in the URL variable with %20 which appears to fix the problem, but I still don't think that is truly the correct one. Thanx again for all your help!

Re: cfcontent, deleting images within a page
Scott, You call the captcha file directly from within the img tag: img src=randomWord.cfm alt=Captcha Img / When you post the form, you compare the Captcha input to the session variable set in the cfm that generates the captcha. With CFX_Captcha I believe the variable it sets is SESSION.imgvalue HTH, Jon Hey gang, I'm having some trouble getting something to work as expected. I've got a script that generates a form based on data in a DB. I'm adding a CAPTCHA to it - Ryan Emerle's cfx_captcha to be specific. In the example page that came with the tag, in the end it spits out: cfcontent type=image/jpeg file=(file path) deletefile=Yes which displays the image that was generated, and deletes it. I can't seem to work out how to do the same thing within my form, without it munging things up - currently instead of the form, image, and surrounding stuff, it simply displays the URL of the page in question. Currently I'm just displaying the generated image with a standard img tag, and if need be, I can just run a clean-up script on the directory that the images are generated into, but that's clunky. :( Poking around the help files in DW, I can't seem to find anything that helps as far as dealing with this issue. Hence, CF-Talk! :) Any pointers in the right direction would be great. Thanks- --Scott ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

Re: CFContent and MIME Types
Hello, I'm trying to use cfcontent on Coldfusion 5 to display files. For security purposes, I cannot link directly to the files. I'm trying to get this to work for any type of file. Currently it works for .doc and .xls files but not PDF files. The page does not throw any exceptions just displays a blank PDF page. When I right click that link and save it to my computer, it works just fine. Is there a bug with cfcontent in CF5? Example code below: cfheader name=Content-disposition value=inline;filename=#filename# cfcontent type=Application/Unknown file=#fileName# I would just like to add that is there anyway to dynamically determine the MIME type when using cfcontent? I have tried to hardcode the MIME Type to handle PDFs and the files still do not display in the browser. ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:257591 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Re: CFCONTENT and CFHEADER to download a file on CF 5
How To Raise a File Download Dialog Box for a Known MIME Type http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q260519 cfheader name=Content-Type value=application/powerpoint cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=attachment; filename=test.ppt Try that. I've got a .mht (multipart html) that I generated from powerpoint. My end result is to be able to fill in pieces of a powerpoint slide on the fly with CF to generate the appropriate .mht file to a user. However, if I pass it to the user as an .mht, it tries to open in the browser. I added a cfcontent and cfheader to the top of the page to try to get it to force the filename to go back to the browser as a ppt so they can save it or open it. The code works fine on MX 6.1 but I can't get it to work on CF5. Anyone have any gotchas or reasons why I can't do it? Snippet: cfheader name=Content-Type value=application/powerpoint cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=inline; filename=test. ppt I also tried to use a cfcontent type=application/powerpoint reset=yes and all the combinations I could think of but it just wouldn't work. Like I said I copied the exact same code to 6.1 and all works well.

Re: cfcontent error - IE6 XP SP2 client and Win 2003 server
Peter, I'm using the same cache-control values on my server for the same reason. I'll have to try removing 'no-cache, no-store'. I'm not sure how or if that would affect form submissions. Unfortunately, I'm about to take off for a week and won't have a chance to test until I get back. FWIW, here's the full IETF RFC for HTTP 1.1 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt The sections relevant to caching begin around page 110. Without reading the whole thing, it appears that it might be possible to replay a form submission by removing the controls (assuming the user is still logged in).

Re: CFContent cancels out JS
Can you walk me through this a touch? I have a page that dumps a database using cfdump. Above the cfdump is a button that says download to excel. If clicked, do I reload the page, do a cfcontent and output the database info into a table, then reload the original page (with the button and the cfdump) using cflocation? I don't understand the process that you're suggesting but it sounds right-on. CFCONTENT cancels out any previously generated content so your banner, menus etc will not show. Use a CFABORT after it if necessary to prevent any content generated after your excel file from showing too, although a properly structured page shouldn't need that. This way you don't need the extra page. ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: CFContent cancels out JS
well, I'd like the blank window to close instead of just sitting there with the user wondering what to do. It doesn't seem that I can put a close before the cfcontent either. I put this content on a seperate page because otherwise it tries to take all my page information (banner, menus, etc) and tries to make a file out of that too. So now it goes to a seperate page, sets up the content, then does a cfcontent. This page appears empty so I'd like to close it. Did I explain that well or am I missing the question?
