[cfaussie] managing IIS with coldfusion

2007-06-24 Thread Steve Onnis


Can anyone recommend anything for managing Windows IIS through Coldfusion?
I have had a hunt around and only found CFX_IIS.  I have used it before but
was wondering if there was anything else I could use as I don't think the
developer is supporting it anymore.

2007-06-24 Thread Bruce Trevarthen (B2 Limited)

I'm not aware of any and unfortunately Microsoft is very DotNet-Centric with 
regards to IIS feature management, even more so in IIS7.  One thing you could 
do is write a black-box IIS Manager in DotNet and then just use web services or 
CFHTTP calls to invoke the commands you need to run.  Not entirely elegant but 
it will give you full control.

Cheers
Bruce

2007-06-24 Thread Andrew Scott

Steve,

I haven't really looked into it as of yet. And I know Scott Barnes will be
able to shed more light on it, and as you did say windows.

There is a way to hook into the .Net Framework to do the job for you, there
are plenty of scripts to do the Virtual Directory, Create website, change
ports binding etc.

But you will have to write the com objects for anything under Coldfusion 8,
which now has the .Net hook for CreateObject that you can then leverage off.

This is as simple as it gets with .Net but there is more to it than this
article, but it is s start.

2007-06-24 Thread Barry Beattie

the real trick is to sustain it.

by having not enough CF people runs the risks of projects moving to
other platforms. One thing in favour in this not happening is that
everyone else is having grief finding people too (just try and find
some Java programmers).

but as current CF programmers move on to other areas (management,
other languages, Flex, etc) one wonders where new blood will come
from. Watch the increase of poaching over the coming months as things
get tighter.

[cfaussie] Re: CF Job, going down in Australia?

2007-06-24 Thread Andrew Scott

Barry,

Exactly, and I had this discussion with Macromedia 3-4 years ago and they
did not seem to care. Their attitude was sales is going strong and that is
all that they cared about.

We here are needing J2EE developers, and we are struggling on that issue so
it's not just Coldfusion.

But the question is: What comes first the Chicken or the Egg.

And I would be all for mentoring new people, but we also need the work to do
so as well. Currently in the process of fighting for my future as a
Coldfusion developer, because I am being asked to be trained into J2EE
development at my work.

But the huge problem is the cost of Coldfusion, and we have a massive
project on the go at the moment that would have been great to have written
in CF but the cost for setting up the Infastructure for an Enterprise
solution meant we did not even consider coldfusion for the work. And its
this type of thing that is killing the technology.

That is the problem...

I did have a play with the vb scripts but the functionality is limited, like
I can only add a single host header and stuff like that.  I liked the vb
scripts cause I could do calls to add and manage sites on remote servers but
as I said the functionality was pretty limited.

Hi Dale,

The 2 year maintenance renewal is usually around the same price as  
the upgrade - for instance on Harris Technology CF Standard (entry  
level TLP) is $1763, the two year CF Standard renewal is $757, the  
one year CF Standard renewal is $378 and the 6-7 CF Standard upgrade  
is $776.  You get the advantage of predictable upgrade costs and get  
a chance to potentially get two upgrades for the price of one if you  
buy at the right time.

RocketBoots' own Pam (and I'm sure other quality resellers on this  
list :-) can normally beat Harris on CF pricing.  If you're getting a  
lot of upgrades at once you will probably qualify for better volume  
discount levels too - make sure whoever you buy it from is familiar  
with the Adobe TLP program.

[cfaussie] Re: Coldfusion Upgrade Protection

2007-06-24 Thread Robin Hilliard

Hi Dale,

The 2 year maintenance renewal is usually around the same price as  
the upgrade - for instance on Harris Technology CF Standard (entry  
level TLP) is $1763, the two year CF Standard renewal is $757, the  
one year CF Standard renewal is $378 and the 6-7 CF Standard upgrade  
is $776.  You get the advantage of predictable upgrade costs and get  
a chance to potentially get two upgrades for the price of one if you  
buy at the right time.

RocketBoots' own Pam (and I'm sure other quality resellers on this  
list :-) can normally beat Harris on CF pricing.  If you're getting a  
lot of upgrades at once you will probably qualify for better volume  
discount levels too - make sure whoever you buy it from is familiar  
with the Adobe TLP program.

Cheers,
Robin

 Hey Robin,

 Perhaps I don't understand subscriptions then.

 Are you saying that if you buy CF7 with Sub, at the end of the 2  
 years you
 just renew your sub and not pay for another licence?

 If so, can you provide sample pricing, Im sure the group would be
 interested, ie:

 Enterprise 7$
 Enterprise 7 with Sub$
 Enterprise 7 Sub Renewal$

 There are probably a lot of people here about to buy 8 or renew  
 subs, so
 would be very useful info.

 Dale Fraser

 PS: Robin's comment of being a safe bet that something will be
 released in
 two years. I don't agree, Coldfusion 7 was released in Feburary
 2005 which
 is more than two years ago, so if you purchased a subscription with
 it, you
 wasted your money unless you purchased it 4 months or more after its
 release.

 I said good, not safe - as a rule of thumb it has worked for many
 customers since version 4.5.

 The real advantage of subscriptions are that if you are going to be
 running a CF app long-term and intend to keep it running on the
 latest and greatest CF, they free your cashflow planning up from the
 vagaries of release timing because you know exactly when your
 subscription renewals will fall due.

[cfaussie] Secure PDF Forms

2007-06-24 Thread Andrew Scott
Can anyone answer this one quickly.

 

I have a client who is looking to add, a one off online registration that
will accept credit card information. They will already have a PDF file that
can be down loaded, and I was thinking that I could display this to the user
on the screen to print or send via email.

 

A couple of things, they are going to process this on a manual basis. And I
would prefer to not store any Credit Card info in the database, this is also
hosted on a shared hosting server so do not want to go that option.

 

The client mentioned emailing, but I would prefer to not even contemplate
that option either.

 

So that leads me back to the PDF, my thinking is that (and I haven't done
this, so hoping someone may have) is to utilise their PDF so the user can
enter the details, and either print it out or send it on to be processed via
email. And secure the PDF from reading without the correct username and
password to the PDF.

 

So my question are as follows: 

 

1)  Can the PDF be modified by CFMX7.0 to use a username and password
and then be emailed to the client.

2)  Does the entry of the information into a PDF constitute the need of
an SSL in anyway

3)  And can there be a button in the PDF to say send to an email address
set up the username and password for the PDF.

 

Any other suggestions, that might be a better solution?
