Passing a Date Time Value to a function
It's been one of those days already - can anyone tell me why the time gets stripped out? I'm aware that I'm using 'date' as an argument type, but datetime throws an error and there's nothing in CF8 docs on it... How do I preserve the time data? cffunction name=dateFormatter2 returntype=string cfargument name=startDate type=date cfargument name=endDate type=date cfscript var result =; startDate=dateFormat(arguments.startdate, 'dd '); startTime=timeFormat(arguments.startdate, HH:MM); endDate=dateFormat(arguments.enddate, 'dd '); endTime=timeFormat(arguments.enddate, HH:MM); /cfscript cfsavecontent variable=result cfoutputStart: #startDate#, #startTime# br /End: #endDate#, #endTime#/cfoutput /cfsavecontent cfreturn result /cffunction cfoutput #dateFormatter2(now(),now())# /cfoutput Cheers!

re: Passing a Date Time Value to a function
It's because you re-used the variable names startDate and endDate, so you re-wrote the value of each variable to strip out the time and then asked for the time. Always be sure to 'var' all variables in a function, and you'll avoid the snafu. If you do the following, you'll even get a runtime error letting you know the problem (cannot var a variable with the same name as an argument): cffunction name=dateFormatter2 returntype=string access=private output=No cfargument name=startDate type=date required=Yes / cfargument name=endDate type=date required=Yes / cfscript var result = ; var startDate = ; var startTime = ; var endDate = ; var endTime = ; startDate = dateFormat(arguments.startDate, dd ); startTime = timeFormat(arguments.startDate, HH:mm); endDate = dateFormat(arguments.endDate, dd ); endTime = timeFormat(arguments.endDate, HH:mm); /cfscript cfsavecontent variable=result cfoutput Start: #startDate#, #startTime# br /End: #endDate#, #endTime# /cfoutput /cfsavecontent cfreturn result / /cffunction cfoutput #dateFormatter2(now(), now())# /cfoutput Use different var names, and it works fine: cffunction name=dateFormatter2 returntype=string access=private output=No cfargument name=startDate type=date required=Yes / cfargument name=endDate type=date required=Yes / cfscript var result = ; var start = ; var startTime = ; var end = ; var endTime = ; start = dateFormat(arguments.startDate, dd ); startTime = timeFormat(arguments.startDate, HH:mm); end = dateFormat(arguments.endDate, dd ); endTime = timeFormat(arguments.endDate, HH:mm); /cfscript cfsavecontent variable=result cfoutput Start: #start#, #startTime# br /End: #end#, #endTime# /cfoutput /cfsavecontent cfreturn result / /cffunction cfoutput #dateFormatter2(now(), now())# /cfoutput From: Tom King mailingli...@oxalto.co.uk Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2010 8:26 AM To: cf-talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Subject: Passing a Date Time Value to a function It's been one of those days already - can anyone tell me why the time gets stripped out?

Of course on Oracle the easiest way to insert the current time and date is to insert SYSDATE (if the CF server and the Oracle server agree on the current time, anyway). mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ 2009/8/18 Stephen Weyrick sweyr...@gmail.com: Is the column a date or a varchar - because you're using a varchar cfsqltype.

FYI: Windows DATE/TIME Glitch affecting CF DATE/TIME Functions
I noticed a little Windows bug this AM that may affect some of you. My system clock was showing the correct time, but my CF generated dates and times were an hour off (behind an hour). This was affecting data base postings, timestamps, etc. To correct this I had to turn off the systems Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time option and manually reset the system date/time to the correct time. Apparently Windows adjusted only the clock display and not the system date/time. Everyone running Windows systems may want to check this if they are using CF date/time functions. I'm sure not all version of Windows have this issue, but apparently some do. Robert B.

RE: (sot) CF and Section 508 compliance a 508 compliant date/time picker
Regarding ARIA. Aria is not compatible with Section 508 as it stands now. If you are trying to comply with Section 508, ARIA will not help. Having said that, Section 508 is in a refresh, but has not yet been finalized by the Access Board. The Section 508 refresh does in fact address Aria by allowing Javascript that exposes, states, roles and properties to User Agents. WCAG 2.0 has the same requirements. At this time the only javascript framework that has widgets that are ARIA compliant is Dojo (dojotoolkit.org). FireFox supports Aria now as does Opera. IE 8 will support ARIA, I still haven't found out about Safari. Most of the major screen readers (Jaws and Window Eyes) support ARIA in their latest versions. JQuery does not support ARIA at this time, although I understand that there are plans to do so in a future release. -Original Message- From: Judah McAuley [mailto:ju...@wiredotter.com] Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 11:31 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: (sot) CF and Section 508 compliance a 508 compliant date/time picker I'd also recommend looking at the ARIA (accessible rich internet applications) initiative through the W3C: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria-practices/ You should also check out actual screen readers as modern screen readers do interact with javascript to some extent and that should be taken into account.

And Ext JS will support Aria/508 in version 3 which comes out April 14th. And yes, you are correct on the technical requirements of 508 but since 508 applies in legal terms to a surprisingly small section of the populace, most treat it as a guideline for trying to achieve a reasonable level of accessibility.

RE: (sot) CF and Section 508 compliance a 508 compliant date/time picker
Gerald, There are web developers and programmers who make it part of their life work to make sure everything that is created by them is Section 508 compatible. Frankly, it is the right thing to do. Being under 'crunch', I feel for you. Unless you are editing a site that was already compliant, then researching what needs to be done may hold you back on actual development for a little while (while researching) and then your development will be slower, since you will be doing things to the code that you are probably not used to doing. Things to consider: 1. Section 508 is not JUST for the people with limited or no sight. It is also for people who are color-blind, have difficulty detecting 'shades' of color, are deaf (in the case of sites with sound or video with sound), etc. 2. A properly configured section 508 site starts from the ground up. There are things that can be done to help a site get to that point after it has already been built, but the 508 considerations should be considered while in the design stage. 3. For the limited or no sight users, their browser will have 'screen reader' technology combined with it. This means that all of the text in your site will be read to the user. This includes Alt tags and Title tags. (you are using those, right?) 4. To best mimic the screen readers progression, you can turn off CSS and Javascript in your browser and then view your page. The content that is displayed to the screen should have a natural flow. Navigation at the top, heading text, content text, etc. 5. For table data, you should verse yourself (if you don't already know) in the use of the TH tags, the Caption tags as well as the title, longdesc, and other 'explanatory' tag attributes. If I were you, with the deadline that you describe, I would find out from the client what exact level of Section 508 they are looking for. (it is a 'leveled' law that defines the 'basics' and then defines extended needs.)

That is the part I am not clear on. Yep, as far as I know that's an accurate interpretation. Section 508 isn't a full moratorium on JavaScript -- it just means that you have to be careful to ensure that the JavaScript solutions are backed by working alternatives for people who can't use JS. So for that matter, the JS interface can even be the primary means, as long as it's not the only means. I've got a contact manager app that I'd been working on where a number of the links launch AJAX partial-page interfaces and this is fine because the link itself is just a normal link with an HREF to a working page where the person can perform the task, and all the JavaScript is done in the onclick. This way it's basically transparent to both the JS enabled average user as well as the screan-reader user. I integrated the Dynarch widget into the onTap framework last year. Huh... Small world. I have a custom tag for the Dynarch widget that was hoping to leverage. Do you think that the Dynarch widget will be ok? Yeah, it just populates a text field, so it should be fine. There's a wierd issue in the Spry date hints that collides with it (and apparently some other widgets as well). But as long as you're not using Spry that shouldn't be an issue. Good luck on the project. :) -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 817.385.0301 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:319646 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Invalid date/time on WS return
Hello,
I am consuming a webservice and the call works fine.
But I am getting an AxisFault that wont let me cfdump the return variable.
The error looks like:
AxisFault
faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException
faultSubcode:
faultString: java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid date/time
This happens anytime there is a Date/Time in the XML returned.
Has anyone seen this before? Is there some way to pass through an XSLT to
transform the return so Coldfusion can understand these variables?
Below I've attached the XML that is returned.. I believe it is startDate that
is causing the error... looks straight forward enough right? It's like CF
cannot handle this variable.
Thanks for looking,
Carlos

querying a date/time field
I want to compare dates in my Access database. It is setup as a date/time field in Access as expiration. I want to check whether the expiration date matches a cfset date. I tried every combination with or without quotes, single quotes, the = sign or EQ, but since I don't always do CF programming I'm stumped. The dates look like 00/00/ in the database. I get different errors such as: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'expiration eq [03/04/2007]'. CFSET thirdletterdate = #DateAdd(d, -7, get.expiration)# CFSET sevendayemail = #DateFormat(thirdletterdate, mm-dd-yy)# cfquery name=Getnow datasource=trials Select * from trials_info where expiration eq #DateFormat(thirdletterdate, mm/dd/)# order by expiration desc /cfquery Thanks.

RE: querying a date/time field
I think comparing as an ODBC Datetime variable (using the CreateODBCDateTime() function) should work. That way you know you're comparing apples to apples. I've done that a few times when I have fits with different date formats. -Original Message- From: Orlini, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2007 10:13 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: querying a date/time field I want to compare dates in my Access database.

Re: querying a date/time field
ew access... This has nothing to do with Access. The problem is that formated dates should not be used in SQL, only CF date values (which are automatically converted t ODBCdates by default), or better use ODCDates. Secondly, quotes should nor be used with dates in SQL This should work: CFSET thirdletterdate = DateAdd(d, -7, get.expiration) cfquery name=Getnow datasource=trials Select * from trials_info where expiration eq #CreateODBCDate(thirdletterdate)# order by expiration desc /cfquery This should work, provided expiration has been entered using CreateDBCDate. If it was entered with a time value different from 00:00:00, the equality won't work. ~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 Flex 2.

i18n date/time
Hi, I have a question on i18n date and time display for local time zones. Currently I have had all date and time stored and presented in the server/local time zone, but I am interested in moving to storing all that in UTC format, and displaying it in local time for what the client/user prefers. I can use DateConvert to get server/local times to and from UTC, but what would I use to localize the time for presentation for any existing time zones... ? /Hugo -- Hugo Ahlenius - Hugo Ahlenius E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project OfficerPhone: +46 8 412 1427 UNEP GRID-Arendal Fax:+46 8 723 0348 Stockholm Office Mobile: +46 733 467111 WWW: http://www.grida.no Skype:callto:fraxxinus - ###This message has been scanned by F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.Formore information, connect to http://www.F-Secure.com/ ~| 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/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:4/messageid:245644 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4; //Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Sorry Paul - but how does that help? You mean by just adding and
subtracting for the timezone manually? And why does the server tz need
to be UTC -- wouldn't it be enough to just handle all time in UTC in the
backend? So I am not sure if Bob is my uncle.
Otherwise, here is a little snippet I got from the bluedragon mailing
list (which is a friendly place, btw). I just spotted now that the
function may need to be cleaned up and made threadsafe, so handle with
care...
cfscript
function formatDate( date, timezone ){
timezone = createObject( java, java.util.TimeZone
).getTimeZone( timezone );
sdf = createObject( java, java.text.SimpleDateFormat ).init(
yy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss zzz );
sdf.setTimeZone( timezone );
return sdf.format( date );
}

And why does the server tz need you're missing the real issue. to be UTC -- wouldn't it be enough to just handle all time in UTC in the backend? So I am not sure if Bob is my uncle. cf doesn't know a tz from a hole in the ground--it does not know your datetimes are UTC. it assumes all datetimes are server tz. if the server's tz has DST, all DST boundary dates get swapped *before* you can do anything to cast them to another tz (including UTC w/dateConvert). for example, 2006-04-02 02:01:00.0 will *never* exist on a server that follows US DST. it will *always* get swapped over to 2006-04-02 03:01:00.0. this is particularly nasty if you host in the US but need say australian tz, because that missing hour is about in the middle of their day there. if the server's in UTC tz, which will never have DST, this magical swap over doesn't occur, so you can happily cast from one tz to another. either that or use java epoch offset change all kinds of stuff. Otherwise, here is a little snippet I got from the bluedragon mailing yes, old school i18n stuff. but it doesn't address the real issue. btw that approach will bite your rear end eventually w/that custom date formatting. i strongly urge you to stick w/the standard java formatting styles (FULL--SHORT). you'll end up in trouble if you ever have to parse those localized strings back to datetimes. not sure if matt's opened the CVS for public consumption but you might look at the boardfusion's project's i18nutils.cfc. it addresses this by using java epoch offsets (via icu4j) or the machII blog project (not sure if he's incorporated the new stuff yet) which has something similar but uses core java (which is doubly more convoluted for stuff like this than icu4j). ~| 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/cf_lists/message.cfm/forumid:4/messageid:245677 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: local date time minus 17 hours
I fired up Ben's tag last week from his recent blog entry on it. Very slick, although NIST servers report GMT. You'll need DateAdd() for your timezone calc. If you are on a shared server that function is the way to go. If you are on a dedicated box I would use the free NIST exe and schedule it so the server clock itself stays within a second or less of perfect time.

Re: FW: local date time minus 17 hours
Seamus I have this issue too, hosting some of my sites in teh Midwest of the USA, when I'm in Australia. So i have an application variable called application.austime which I set in the Application.cfc file on all my sites. Depending on where they are located in the world, application.austime might be set as #now()# or #now()# + #createTimeSpan(0,16,0,0)# or whatever time difference is appropriate depending on the relative status of daylight savings. Then instead of using #now()# in any of my apps, I can use #application.austime# and when I upload the files to the server, the time values will stlil be correct. And Yes, I know I could use Locale, but I developed this method of handling it before I learned about locale. Anyway, Australian daylight savings change dates differ from year to year as the politicians get it into their heads to change things. I'm not at all confident that the folks at Adobe or Microsoft will keep abreast of our daylight savings debates and many changes.

Re: [Reply To] Re: FW: local date time minus 17 hours
Bobby's dateadd function does the same thing as my function, but more
concisely and better I think.
The politicians are talking about changing the daylight savings changes yet
again. It comes up in the public debate every time there is a change either
to or from summer time. Queensland, in the tropics, and therefore not
really needing daylight savings doesnt change. Every time we change the
clocks people here say 'Queensland is so conservaitve and ought to change
with the rest of us, yet no one ever seems to notice that the closer you
get to the equator, the less is the difference between June sunset and
January sunset times.
So whenever this comes up, there's debate about how backward Queenslanders
are (they arent - they just dont need daylight savings), and then someone
will say we ought to have daylight savings all around the year, and someone
else will say we ought to change two months earlier, and round it all goes
again.
I do believe that Victoria will be changing at a different time next year
because they have the Commonwealth Games on in Melbourne, but Im not sure
about that. The change to the dates here in 2000 were only in NSW, I
think, although Victoria might have joined us, not sure.
It's all very confused here and I just prefer to keep it under my own
control. When the clocks change in the house here, I change my
Application.cfc files and all my sites stay at the right time.
Seamus, you need to use dateformat. e.g. #dateformat(application.austime,
d/mmm/)#

Look at the date and time functions. They now support milliseconds. You need to know, in your system, what 0 milliseconds is equal to. It may be Jan 1, 1970.

OT SQL date/time default
I have a form that if the date field is blank SQL automatically inserts the date of 1/1/1900 and then this displays. How can I have it leave this field blank? The column is set as datetime in design view. Thx.
