[cfaussie] dateformat with cfinput type=datefield

2013-07-30 Thread bryn
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.

[cfaussie] Re: CFbuilder2 thoughts?

2011-07-12 Thread bryn
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.

Cheers,
Bryn

 IDE to become unresponsive for some time and it resumed to its normal

2010-04-13 Thread bryn
Nothing is ever a simple case when specified as such.

How many variations of the hostname have you tried  ?
e.g. With/without domain name ?
Have you tried IP Address in place of the name ?

Either
(Is the back end host name specified in the hosts file of the front
end system ?
That would be C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (no file
extension)
Or
(Is the backend system named in the dns server that is accessed by the
front end ?

 We have a couple of front end servers, with a backend server, but we
 want those two front end servers to connect to the verity server on
 the backend server.

 Apparently this is just a simple case of specifying the 'Verity host
 name' in the 'Data  Services  Verity K2 Server' section in the
 Coldfusion administrator. This however is not working, when we try to
 use the cfsearch tag from the front end servers, we just get
 'collection does not exist' errors, the collection does exist, and we
 can use the cfsearch tag just fine on the backend server.

 we are on 64bit windows server 2008 by the way.

 I'm stumped :)

As well as the usual, it offered Anti Spam, black/white listing,

Fairly easy to operate...

I can be hooked up to the ISP's mail server (POP pickup), or it can

[cfaussie] RE:Ajax Form Data Lookup

2009-08-17 Thread Bryn Parrott

Hi Claude,

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

cfparam name=getClientId type=any

cfquery name=getAjaxClient datasource =#application.yourDSN#
select * from ajax_client where
clientID='#getClientId#'
/cfquery
 
cfif getAjaxClient.recordcount gt 0
 formObj.firstname.value = getAjaxClient.firstname   
 formObj.lastname.value = getAjaxClient.lastname  
 formObj.address.value = getAjaxClient.address 
 formObj.zipCode.value = getAjaxClient.zipCode 
 formObj.city.value = getAjaxClient.city   
 formObj.country.value = getAjaxClient.country
cfelse
 formObj.firstname.value =''   
 formObj.lastname.value = ''  
 formObj.address.value = '' 
 formObj.zipCode.value = '' 
 formObj.city.value = ''   
 formObj.country.value =''
/cfif
===


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/index.html?page=ajax

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

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 = '.$inf[address].';\n;
echo formObj.zipCode.value = '.$inf[zipCode].';\n;
echo formObj.city.value = '.$inf[city].';\n;
echo formObj.country.value = '.$inf[country].';\n;

  }else{
echo formObj.firstname.value = '';\n;
echo formObj.lastname.value = '';\n;
echo formObj.address.value = '';\n;
echo formObj.zipCode.value = '';\n;
echo formObj.city.value = '';\n;
echo formObj.country.value = '';\n;  
  }
}
?

[cfaussie] Re: Flash sites being hacked

2009-04-02 Thread bryn


 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 ?

Bryn

They would see the content of the snippet file, which would be part of
the page they are editing.

Basically, on the main page you would have something like

.
... surrounding html ...
cfinclude template=myeditablecontentfile.cfm
... surrounding html ...

And in the myeditablecontentfile file would contain the content that
you want to be editable.

[cfaussie] Re: frustrated CF newbie

2008-05-24 Thread bryn

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

 I still can't claim to understand exactly what the problem was, but by

 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.

 At least I can say it doesn't seem to have been my coldfusion code
 that was at fault.

 and then proceed to play/learn with Flex
on parts of it.  When I set out to do this I did not bargain on having
to learn new tricks with iiS as well, which I thought I knew well.

Someone (else) might choose to blog this after verifying it, seems it
might be useful to others...

 When that is done, CF (Administrator) kind of works, but loads of
 problems getting iiS 7.0 to deliver pages properly.
 Cf Administrator is missing all the graphics...
 My application (based on cfform type=flash) not delivering the flash
 pieces or images.

 I'm using the trace facility (new in iiS7 ?) to tie down and eliminate
 the problems, but mostly they appear to be permissions based.

 iiS 7 not setting up the anonymous web user/group (iis_iusrs)
 properly.  Has to be done manually.

 I Hate the new iiS7 Manager UI.  Why do Microsoft have to fix things
 that ain't broke ?  The help for it is useless as usual.

 I have not yet googled this issue, but does anyone have a recipe for
 getting iiS 7 and CF 8 working on Vista ?

  Ok,

  I'll try that, I do have UAC off.

  I had someone not on SP1 try it and it worked.

  So I think it's Vista SP1 related, no references to it anywhere, if CF had a
  bug tracker DB I would be able to check if they even know about it.

  Yep,

  Tell me about it.

  I asked because there are 2 known problems.

  I am not sure if you have UAC on/off, but you need to make sure Coldfusion
  is run as administrator when installing. I came across this problem a few
  weeks ago, if Coldfusion is not installed in this manner and I did discuss
  it in here, it will not error and will install ok but will not install the
  connectors at all.

  This maybe the same problem you are having.

[cfaussie] Re: Dynamically Created Interactive PDF Forms and CF

2008-05-07 Thread bryn

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.


Cheers,
Bryn Parrott

 Hi,

 I am wanting to be able to use one interactive PDF form template that will
 allow me to generate customised PDF forms for each of my brokers displaying
 the brokers individual business details and logo.

 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.

 If anyone has some suggestions to allow me to create these interactive
 custom app forms on the fly I would welcome your thoughts

[cfaussie] Re: ColdFusion Isn't a Programming Language?

2008-05-06 Thread bryn

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.

FWIW,
Bryn Parrott

[cfaussie] Re: frustrated CF newbie

2008-04-15 Thread bryn

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.

 Hi Everyone,

 I'm quite new to Coldfusion, having only used it for the 6 months I've
 been in my current job, so there are many things that I just don't
 understand yet.

 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.
