Re: Code Question
Some good points there about having to adapt to any new tool, I tried a few times to change to using CFEclipse and failed because I was trying to make it work exactly the way I was used to working. Once I had got it into my head that I would have to adapt slightly and adopt the project model of working everything started to make a lot more sense. I think that if there was one thing you could do to make CFEclipse easier to change to it would be an idiots guide to the CFeclipse way of working - with lots of pictures and not too many long words :) Good presentation at CFDevcon by the way, I was with three colleagues that had never seen CFEclipse before and they were all raving about it after.

Re: Code Question
Well put Mark. I'm with you on learning new tools too. If I wasn't, I'd still be using an Apple II+ to make new Lode Runner levels (hopefully didn't date myself too badly there). Personally I like the Project structure. In fact, I have my .cfm and ..cfc files set to open into Notepad if I'm just double clicking it from Windows Explorer. This is so it will open quick and I can find what I'm looking for easily. But that is definitely rare and I usually am in Eclipse / CFEclipse to begin with. Searching an entire project is flexible and fast. And Rick, I'm definitely a keyboard shortcut guy also. The CFEclipse toolbar is turned off. I've actually adapted some of Dreamweaver's shortcuts to be the CFEclipse default. Learning new shortcuts is definitely frustrating at first, but if you're committed to switching tools, it come pretty quick.

Re: Code Question
Here is a few snippets for forta's website. They deem to work pretty good. Here's another tip to improve Dreamweaver load time. In Preferences select the File Types / Editors screen and add .cfm and .cfc to the Open in Code View list. You'll lose support for design view and the Insert bar, but the load speed will be much faster. (Applies to: Dreamweaver MX) When the Dreamweaver Application window is open (particularly with the Databases or Component tab selected) Dreamweaver will keep refreshing window content. This can have a real impact on Dreamweaver performance, and so it is best to keep the Application window closed when it is not being used. (Applies to: Dreamweaver MX) Suffering from a sluggish Dreamweaver? One quick tip is to turn off Refresh Local File List Automatically and Refresh Remote File List Automatically in the Site settings.

Re: Code Question
Well, that is not exactly true. You can call cfapplication in any of your templates, but only once per site. You can put it in a file for processing your global site vars and call that file from within your index.cfm file if you wish. CF simply traverses up your sites files until it reached your root directory and if does not find your cfapplication it just does not use it. IE: site_globals.cfm cfapplication name=myApp sessionmanagement=yes clientmanagement=yes sessiontimeout=#createTimeSpan(0,0,20,0)# cfset application.dsn = myDsn cfset application.adminEmail = myAdminEmail index.cfm cfinclude template=site_globals.cfm more code - Original Message - From: Rick Root [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Friday, November 10, 2006 7:55 PM Subject: Re: Code Question Jason T.

Now it tells me that my datasource is undefined: Variable MYDSN is undefined. Is there anything special that one has to do? I created the DSN in the admin setup and it is found there. Can I simply not say MyDSN in the cfquery statement. -Jason On Nov 10, 2006, at 9:55 PM, Rick Root wrote: Jason T.

It improves performance and enhances security - eliminates the possibility of SQL injection.

Re: Code Question
Jason, I reckon you've made a pretty good start for your first day. These things you're finding now will become second nature pretty quickly. I'm not sure if you have background in other programming, so perhaps i can flesh out a little of what the others have said about the Application.cfm file .. You should have one in every site, even if it doesn't contain anything, because ColdFusion will go searching for one every time you call a page, and if it doesnt find one it will search and search before giving up. If you dont want to use one, give it an empty one to find at the top level of your site. It'll save a lot of processing time on every page request. However you should have an Applicatoin.cfm file because it's very useful. In your Application.cfm file, you should have the Application tag and nowhere else, that way you know you only have one cfapplication anywhere in the site. If you have several of them, you will get confusion later on if something goes wrong, because you can not be sure which application is current at the moment of the error. Also in your Applicatoin.cfm file you can put all the environment variables. That way when you deploy your site to the production server, all the things you have to change for that server are in the one place. For example, you have a DSN now called MyDSN. But when you put your site up to the host, it's likely you will not be able to use that name. You might have to use a name more like DSN765DLIJ or who knows what else. All you have to do is have an Application.cfm file you up load to the server with that DSN name in it, rather than have to go right through your site changing every query, then when you want to do work locally again changing them all back. You can do the same with email addresses, colour settings, file paths, mapping names, all kinds of things.Just have something like this in your Application.cfm file: cfset application.dsn = MyDSN / then in every query throughout the site, put the dsn in like this; cfquery name=getnames datasource=#application.dsn# Oh and Rick Root - It's more advanced than Jason is at the moment, and I dont want to confuse him with unnecessary complications, but there is at least one case where you can't use cfqueryparam . if you're going to use cachedwithin. cfquery throws an error if you try to use them both in the same query. Jason, dont worry about that yet. Cachedwithin is a way to cache queries so they dont require a trip to the database every time. For your purposes at this stage, get in the habit of using cfqueryparam on all your queries and you'll be ok.
