[cfaussie] Paypal Integration
Hi, Can anyone recommend where to start with Paypal payments integration? What with the SDK and options for IPN, PDT and an API its all a bit confusing... Not to mention all the forum posts complaining about things not working! Basically, I have a shopping cart and need to let people make payments via Paypal and would prefer immediate payment verification (as per Camtech). I thought it would be easy as - and maybe it will be... Many thanks, Brett B) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.

[cfaussie] Re: CF and .NET (Followup).
I agree and disagree :) - I agree the CF community should be grown further and you may ask "hang on doesn't that throw into the face of ASP.NET" to which I say yes, but at the same time it has potential to grow the Windows 2003 Server + MSSQL + IIS market some more. - I disagree there should be a blanket zero tolerance on .NET overall, as to be openly honest I've had to deal with a lot of .NET integration with Coldfusion in the past (mainly through COM Objects / CFX Tags or SOAP) - painful. Now that Coldfusion 8 is pushing the integration, maybe we can lift the lid on a few things that compliment the developer out there instead of annoy. There was a reason for Adobe to put .NET into CFCOMPONENT tag. - When I posted my previous thread about Microsoft Love, I got an alarming number of offline users emailing me that they were curious to expand further into ASP.NET for a number of reasons. Firstly, understanding the beast, Secondly to up skill their resume some more and Thirdly, they've reached a peek with Coldfusion and are looking to jump ship. Now like it or lump it that's the truth of the matter and while at heart Coldfusion is a great language (I'm still fighting my own internal battles with ASP.NET as frankly, I still refer to Coldfusion as being easier to mould into place) the job market is overwhelming for the ASP.NET guy out there. People have bills to pay so if some CF developers want to expand further, I'll help them - something I've done in the past pre-Microsoft as who am I to judge what is right and wrong. - You're underestimating the collective intelligence of everyone here, as Microsoft means many things to many people, not just ASP.NET. The link I posted was more focused on interop then migration, but having said that there is migration path should someone *CHOOSE* to want it. CFAUSSIE isn't an Adobe run mailing list its been around many years and we've had all walks of life and flavoured posts to it some have been relevant other times its been utter crap. What your doing now is blatantly obvious in that "its either 100% adobe or go away" which you'll find people generally aren't subscribing to (unless you have strong affiliation with Adobe, such as CFUG, or consultancy etc). - ASP.NET lists, you know I actually don't belong to any as yet. I've been meaning to so I really can't speak on their behalf. Suffice to say, have you tried this approach yet? or are you more inclined to sit back and assume it will be the way things will pan out. You won't know until you try so, you're a CFUG guy, give it a whirl and let us all know on how it goes. I've stated all along and I'll state it again, if you have a presentation that compliments Microsoft products (keep in mind our entire product range is quite extensive) then let me know and i"ll nominate you for a session at this years TechEd 07 (MSFT's version of WebDU I guess). In closing, Microsoft has a lot of products on offer and I represent a lot of them so its too dangerous of me to focus on being a pure ASP.NET marketer as thats not relevant to even the ASP.NET developers themselves. The best I can do is offer up potential solution pieces and its your call on how you can string them together. You need to move past this Microsoft is up to no good angle, as its getting silly.

I feel like I've missed something fundamental in the Fusebox docs that will explain to me how to pass that query object down the line as a generic object, ratehr than a specifically named variable. Whats the trick? Hi Ryan, You have to have _some_ dependencies in an application to make it work, the trick is to eliminate the most harmful ones. Dependencies from the UI back to the business logic/data (as you have here) are fine, as long as the variable name the controller sets up for the view stays fixed - as long as the control stuff doesn't need to know anything else about the view you're fine. It's like using a post office box to send a letter to someone... (you don't know who and don't want to know) ...you agree on the format of the letter... (value objects, query column names and types) ...and a post office box. (a variable name). When you have a letter to send you drop it into the post office box, and you don't care or know if anyone picks it up. What you avoid doing this is having to address the letter to a specific, concrete individual... (this would be like rendering bits of html or calling a function or tag specific to the current incarnation of the UI) ...from the UI... (a flighty crowd with high staff turnover - UI and other interfaces change far more often than business logic) ...if you did that, you'd have to keep changing your process to address the letter, impacting your otherwise highly reusable letter addressing process. (i.e. your business logic) If this sort of analogy appeals and you'd like to hear more, this is pretty much an extract from my MAX Asia architecture talk that I'm repeating at WebDU next month.

[cfaussie] Re: Free webDU tickets
Microsoft is not an evil empire. Microsoft is a large, intelligent, well informed business, who's objective is to grow its business in any way that it legally can. It can, and should, take any opportunity to take advantage of any weakness or business mistake that any current or potential competitor makes, and exploit it to the maximum benefit for itself and its shareholders. Should any competing business wish to follow a similar objective, then it should reduce and eliminate any weaknesses or business mistakes that a company like Microsoft could take advantage of. Microsoft is not Evil, its just very good at doing what it does, especially if its competitors allow it. Furthermore, if Microsoft want to pay for my webDU ticket and provide me with 3 Microsoft shirts, I'll wear them for the duration of the conference, while I'm at conference events.

Yes, that's pretty much it at it's essence - you all agree on the names of the variables and their contents, and that becomes the interface/contract/post box number shared by the business logic and the view - you could write it down in some code comments if you wanted it to feel a bit more like a real interface, or you could make a 'model' cfc that you put in the request scope (or even in the session scope if scaling to a cluster is unlikely - I suggested this in my last Webdu talk with stateful view helper cfcs) to make the property names more formal. This is all in complete ignorance of how the more recent versions of Fusebox pass data to the view. But regardless, if I was doing a vanilla MVC-style CF app, I'd be doing the above. > That means I'll have to evaluate() it at run time, a possible > performance hit. I don't see why unless its something Fusebox specific - firstly the variable names shouldn't be changing (that's the point, the model variable names will outlive the current incarnation of the view code so there's no harm in the view hard coding these variable names for the duration of it's relatively short and brutish life), and secondly there's always the [ ] notation for accessing stuff in a scope or struct.

[cfaussie] Re: CF and .NET (Followup).
At the risk of igniting this any further, my original objection was more to do with the fact that the page that Scott originally linked to has 5 links at the top of the list that are CF related (which is good), but they are all "Live Webcasts", available at specific times only, each one occuring once over the next 2 weeks. All the other links on the page are Not CF specific, or even relevant, but are just plain "convert to .Net" material, and are either "On Demand Webcasts" or "Virtual Labs", and are convieniently available any time you want, as often as you want, and not just at 5am on Tuesday morning. I'll be checking back to the site after the first couple are done to see if the recordings of the CF sessions are offered "On Demand" after the sessions. We need to be encouraging more people out there to start taking up CF as a language, not pointing out to the developers we currently have that their nearest exit may be behind them. There is a shortage of developers out there at the moment, and there are businesses clammouring to get them. If you have a desperate desire to learn .Net, there are places that you'll be able to find on the net that will show you how to do that, and the Australian ColdFusion mailing list shouldn't be one of them. Converting developers to be .Net developers is Microsoft's job, not the ColdFusion community's. Postings that promote people to go to .Net shouldn't be accepted here, as you can bet that CF promotion isn't tolerated on any .Net lists. Even posts that wrap the convert message up in an ever so polite "just helping you out" veneer. Darren Who'd like to get his own popcorn and jaffas when he gets a chance.

[cfaussie] Re: Fusebox question
Hi Ryan, You should avoid having the controller making database calls if at all possible. The controller is like any good manager - knows what is going on and what is supposed to happen next, but never gets his hands dirty! The controller knows only that there is something to be done, and probably knows what it needs to be done to (via URL or form variables)... So in calling the 'model' it should simply be specifying the what and the who, the model should be responsible for handling the how - including doing it's own database calls as necessary. And if that means that for some reason you wind up with the call being done twice for some good business reason, then unless it is a *really* high traffic site then take the hit and keep the two parts of the application independent. That goes for the 'view' as well. This took me a while to come to terms with but once you get it straight it works quite well.

[cfaussie] Re: Fusebox question
Hi Ryan, the way I write most of my fusebox apps these days is to build the entire model in CFCs, and use invoke calls where I used to use act_ and qry_ calls. This is useful for a number of reasons and specifically will answer your below query by allowing you to set the name of a query at the time you call the object. For example: That help?
