Is this the same as what's included with CF8, or is it something different?

Dale, I'd be curious where you looked. :-) If you do a google search for
"livecycle data services" (or even using "live cycle"), the first result is
the Adobe page for LCDS:

 

http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/dataservices/

 

The "getting started" tab there has among its contents a link to a FAQ with
a section about the Express edition
(http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/productinfo/faq/#livecycle_dsexpress)
which seems to answer the questions you ask:

 

Does the per-CPU pricing for LiveCycle Data Services ES pertain to "per
CPU as in server" or "per CPU as in processor"? 

Per CPU as in processor. CPU is defined as a central processing unit in
a hardware device, including devices accessed by multiple users through a
network (a server). A dual-core CPU is considered a single CPU for licensing
purposes. 

 

It goes on to explain that there are no other limitations (including
connection, data throughput, users, etc). It's really just a licensing
limitation--and then only for production. No CPU limits at all in
development.

 

Now, I don't mean the above to sound snide (in that you said you'd looked on
the Adobe site). 

 

I'm really curious: I'm betting you got to that page, since it's so apparent
in Google. I wonder if the challenge may have been that "getting started"
tab, and I wonder if it's a challenge we should all consider in using them
in our own code. More on that in the next email.

I'm confused.

 

I think they changed the name of this to Live Cycle Data Services, right? I
know that it comes with CF8, is that Express edition if you don't enter the
key.

 

I can't find info on it on Adobe site, what the limitations are etc. Feature

I think it's limited to a single processor, what happens if the processor is
Quad core, does it work, does it use a single core.

 

Anyone know anything, or the link to the correct Adobe website where I can

Charlie,

 

You hit it on the head.

 

Found that page, did a Ctrl F (find) Express, nothing. Didn't check that
tab, actually saw it, but didn't think Getting Started had anything to do
with Express.

I'm just guessing if that was the issue. Maybe it was not, but I've wondered

curious. Anyone have thoughts?

 

I'll note, in case anyone wonders, For instance, also, if you search (on
google, for instance) for text that appears within such tabs, Google does
find it. If you do a view source of the page, you see that all the content
(even in the tabs) is there on one page, so if you then do a find (in the
view source view) it does find text even within tabs. But if one uses the
browser find feature while looking on a page not viewing the tab content, it
will of course not be found. Since the search engine brought you to the page

for some. Something to think about.

[cfaussie] Re: cfsetting enablecfoutputonly not working

2007-08-18 Thread Simon Haddon
At a first guess I would say you are using cfinclude between a start end
cfoutput tag.  ie:



Do that appears to override any cfoutputonly directive.  In fact it is one
thing that annoys me about fusebox and the first thing I cnage when using a
new version is to comment ou the cfoutput tags surrounding the cfinclude
tag.

Cheers,
Simon

[cfaussie] cfsetting enablecfoutputonly not working

2007-08-18 Thread Taco Fleur
Hello all,

I'm having some issues with cfsetting, hoping someone can enlighten me.
I have the following in onRequestStart



  
 

Then in one of the pages I have the following code


function togglePostcode() {
 var liPostcode = document.getElementById( 'li-postcode' );
 var liState = document.getElementById( 'li-state' );

 if ( liState.style.display == 'none' || liState.style.display == '' ) {
  liState.style.display = 'block';
  liPostcode.style.display = 'none';
 } else {
  liState.style.display = 'none';
  liPostcode.style.display = 'block';
 }
}


I have the script tag around it all so I can the nice colour coding in
dreamweaver, I'm expecting it not to output the  tags, but
it does! Even though they are outside  tags.
I've done a search, and there is only one cfsetting tag in the app, anybody
any idea why it is still outputting stuff outside output tags?

Thanks in advance.
