[cfaussie] dateformat with cfinput type=datefield
Cold fusion's datefield has issues. Suggest you look at using the jquery date picker. Easier to use more flexible easier to control and doesnt rely on java or flash. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.

[cfaussie] Re: CFbuilder2 thoughts?
I'm getting CFB2 locking up under 2 conditions that I've identified (maybe more) 1/. refreshing the open project files. Some of these on the local hard drive, some on the server. 2/. Compacting the JVM Heap. (Sometimes this seems to fail). This latter one came on today just after I'd done an edit pasting in a string into each of 10 lines of code. Then same thing happened a few minutes later. I closed the file being edited and opened it again. Each time it locks up, the screen goes white and CFB is unusable for up to 10 minutes at a time. Seems to happen more when large files (1300+ lines of code) being edited (not my original work). It would be great if CFB could be taught to only do these essential background tasks when the machine is otherwise idle.

Here is an approximation of the CF code to replace the PHP code snippet you

cfquery name=getAjaxClient datasource =#application.yourDSN#
select * from ajax_client where
clientID='#getClientId#'

formObj.lastname.value = ''
formObj.address.value = ''
formObj.zipCode.value = ''
formObj.city.value = ''

By the way, I suggest that you google search for CFAJAX, as it might help
you with the Ajax thing (useful if you are using something like CF 6).

Subject: [cfaussie] Ajax Form Data Lookup
Hi,
I have found a great AJAX form lookup script to auto populate form field
elements based on data entered from the first form element.
For those of you interested the above is located at

http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/scripts/ajax-client-lookup/ajax-client-lookup.ht

http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/index.html?whichScript=ajax_client_lookup
The only problem I the above requires the following few lines of php code to
run, yet it can be re written in cold fusion. As I am not familiar with
reading PHP code I was wondering if someone could lend a hand translating it
into equivalent cf code.
?php
/* Replace the data in these two lines with data for your db connection */
$connection = mysql_connect(host,username,password);
mysql_select_db(databaseName,$connection);
if(isset($_GET['getClientId'])){
$res = mysql_query(select * from ajax_client where
clientID='.$_GET['getClientId'].') or die(mysql_error());
if($inf = mysql_fetch_array($res)){
echo formObj.firstname.value = '.$inf[firstname].';\n;
echo formObj.lastname.value = '.$inf[lastname].';\n;
echo formObj.address.value = '.$inf[address].';\n;

[cfaussie] Re: Flash sites being hacked
instead of the actual site being loaded, there is a replacement page with junk in there saying that site has been hacked. they are not getting in via ftp or any other way and i am sus about it being only flah sites that it is happening to The way I understand what you have said, the index or default site page is being physically replaced by some other page containing hacked content - is that right, or is it that redirect being put in place ? What kind of flash page(s) do you have there ? - are they just movies or do they have a form with bunch of actionscript talking to some web services on your site ? - do they have forms submittal functionality ? File upload perhaps ? Do they have AS code in them that might require elevated privilege perhaps, but makes use of an upload capability. You do know that just about anyone can dissect your SWF files and look directing at the AS code ? (There are many and various SWF reverse engineering tools out there). The various flash pages you mention - do they have anything in common ? Like the man said - have you looked at the web server logs ? What web server is it anyway - iiS ? Apache ? - is it a windows server or a linux server ? Have you looked at the web server configuration(s) - have you accidentally opened up directory scanning or some other permission that is allowing your hacker to get into your site ? Does the flash application have a backend web service ? If so what does it consist of (CF ?). What kind of things is that backend WS programmed to do ? Does it expose a public method that can write back files to the server perhaps ? Does the backend WS insist upon security validation for every request made to it or is it using session vars on the server to hold security validation state ? OR Does the flash file store some security validation token that might be hackable perhaps ? Or in other words are you trusting the flash modules delivered by your site perhaps a little too much ?

[cfaussie] Re: frustrated CF newbie
If you have isolated the periodic slowdown problem to your queries and MySQL database, and optimising the queries has helped, then I suggest that you look at the following : a) upgrade your MySQL to the latest production release (5.0.xx). b) Use latest MYSQl Admin to tune up the caching on your server. I suggest that possibly one or more of the caches are being filled up and flushed, making subsequent queries slow down whilst table/index/ query cache loads up your data into memory once again. That would account for periodic slowdowns, and this can be sensitive to the traffic on the server, explaining why your production server displayed the problem more than development. This characteristic would be sensitive to server load/traffic... If your server has plenty of memory then increasing the cache sizes can help a lot. c) take a good close look at your queries. My SQL query caching is case sensitive so something like 'Select * from mytable Where Fred Is Not Null' is not deemed to be the same query as 'SELECT * FROM MYTABLE WHERE FRED IS NOT NULL' even though they both work and get the same results and so you can end up with copies of the same or similar queries filling up the query cache, making it more likely your offending query is getting flushed out if not most recently used on a busy server. (and the same applies to in- memory temporary tables linked to a particular query). Basically the rule for mysql is to make sure that all of your column names and table names etc have a consistent use of case and also the SQL keywords such as Select, FROM etc. I am not sure if white space makes any difference (I'd like to think not but wouldn't put anything past it...) Perhaps others can comment on this aspect. Cheers, Bryn Parrott On May 23, 5:26 am, nedlud [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: For what it's worth, I seem to have resolved this issue by optimising some of the sql queries. I still can't claim to understand exactly what the problem was, but by using *a lot* of cfdump statments, I found that a particular query occasionaly ran *way* slow (we are using MySQL 4.1). Adding an index, and optimising some queries to use joins instead of sub-queries seems to have made the problem go away.

[cfaussie] Re: Dynamically Created Interactive PDF Forms and CF
Hi Claude, It depends what you mean by interactive. My app takes data from the user using standard (HTML or flash) CF Forms, save the data in the database, and then produce a PDF rendition of the data in PDF format. Is that not useful in your situation ?. You can do that with CF 8 standard edition. Good support for CSS style sheet attributes. Common Page Header and Foooters. Automatic page sizing/fitting to a defined paper size (can get in the way if you are not aware of it). Automatic pagination not so good, I found I had to sort this out by counting lines and programmatically inserting page breaks exactly wheer I wanted it. (css attributes for page-break-before etc not working the best). Two methods for delivery of dynamic PDF's that complement each other: a) build HTML/CFML pages that deliver the page in PDF format by using the cfdocument tag. You can deliver pages in-line (ie not saved on the server but delivered to the browser as PDF files) or you can generate PDF files on the filesystem of the server then do with them as you wish. b) You can join existing PDF files i.e. as static content. Maybe you can use this pathway. Generate the forms using Acrobat, and then generate dynamic pages with personalised logo etc and join them together. However, if you must deliver 100% PDF electronic/interactive forms that themselves get filled in, I do not beleive that works in this version (as the other man said). The documentation not 100% clear on this point however, so it may be possible somehow.

The objective being to then be able to make changes to 1 interactive form PDF file as required which is then re created on the fly each time a broker clicks the create APP FORM link within the CF website. Currently I am using a program called DycoDocs (carried over from the previous developer), to create the custom app forms on the fly only ever needing to edit the one DycoDoc form template to make changes however the program generates the output as a flat PDF file not a interactive PDF form.

[cfaussie] Re: ColdFusion Isn't a Programming Language?
I'm sorry, I fail to see what the heated argument is about. We have always known there are self-serving purists out there that do not like Cold Fusion because of all of its highly competitive and productive qualities when it comes to delivering robust web applications. Fact is that Cold Fusion is many things that are not mutually exclusive. It is a web applications server, it is also a framework, and it can be programmed using several 'languages' (or variants or dialects - whatever you like). CFML, CFSCRIPT/ECMAScript, Actionscript to name the main ones. It fulfills the broad definition of a programming language (given in the wikipedia link in an earlier reply). It has a rich function library that is the main reason it is so productive when it comes to building real world applications. It can be extended by writing programs in other languages, - Java, C+ + , C^ and such extensions effectively become a part of the libraries that form the language. Most modern computer languages are based upon libraries, which themselves are often written using other languages (such as assembler at the most basic level). The original link uses a somewhat purist approach re 'Turing Complete' that appears to be invalid in that a programming language does not have to be turing complete to be a language. The term Turing complete refers to an ability in a programming system to solve every problem in the universe (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness) and generally irrelevant when describing a programming language. There is no case for eleiminating Cold Fusion from a list of computer languages in common use, as the facts speak otherwise. One therefore calls into question the process used to compile the TIOBE list and suggest that perhaps it may be somewhat less than objective. Ot perhaps its mission is not clearly defined. When I searched, I was unable to find an original representation of the said TIOBE list so if anyone can point me to it I'd be grateful. It appears this list wants to deliver a ranking order of popularity of various means to deliver web applications. Since CF is clearly such a means it belongs on the list. End of story. No need for an internal debate/fight among CF programmers dismayed at possibly a losss of prestige, we should be discussing the means necessary to set TIOBE right, that is, assuming said TIOBE list matters at all to anyone except the analy retentive few that want to argue the finer points.

[cfaussie] Re: frustrated CF newbie
I get the slowdown thing going on in a different environment. Things just seem to freeze. Can carry on typing and eventually the machine catches up and displays what I type. My development machine is a Windows XP laptop and it runs SQL Server, CF 8 and of course the IE web browser. Loads of RAM but the processor is a single CPU and 3 years old 1.4 GHz mobile processor. I recently got a new laptop, Windows Vista based, and found that when I access the application on the other laptop that I no longer get the slowdowns happening. Of course it is newer hardware, Core Duo etc which would have some benefit. My diagnosis is of course, something related to the browser running on XP and maybe trying to do too many things at once on the single CPU PC. BTW the periodic slowdown happens on other apps on the same laptop (such as Outlook, Word etc). When I publish the app to the client environment, they do not see the slowdowns. Of course the production environment runs on a 'proper' server. So, if you are accessing your app running on a Linux server using an XP PC/Laptop then perhaps the cause might be the PC and not the server.

My current problem is performance. I have a Fusebox 3 app running on Coldfusion. There are quite a few db queries that use joins of 2 or 3 tables, but nothing that should confound the server too much. In fact the sys admin has checked his logs and tells me the querries aren't running slowly. Most of the time, the app runs smoothley. But every now and again, it just hangs for an extended period (30+ seconds). I only noticed this behaviour once I'd deployed the app to our production server. But then I started looking at the dev server and the same problem could be seen there, only on a smaller scale. When I run the Coldfusion Admins debugging tools (execution times) on the dev machine, I get occasional execution times of 400 to 1000 (or more) ms on the dev machine. For comparison, the app normaly runs in less than 100ms. The timeouts are 10 times (or more) longer on production. I assume this is due to the load on the production machine. I'm perfectly willing to accept that my own inexperience with CF has lead me to write some bad code. But I'm having trouble reliably reproducing the effect on the server. I can click through the same sequence of steps repeatedly, and have it run smoothy 9 times out of 10, then bang! Hangtime! The only common factor I can find is that it seems to happen about every 100 - 110 seconds (a little less than every 2 minutes). The session variables are set to time out in 20 minutes, so I don't think they are causing the problem. I need to go over my code with a fine tooth comb, but there's a part of me that suspects the server. Could this be some kind of caching issue? And how best can I debug this? Any advice greatly welcome, Lucien. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.
