SUCCESS!!!

http://www.scottpinkston.org/blog/index.cfm/2007/10/29/ColdFusion-8-on-Leopard-with-Apache--an-answer-for-the-rest-of-us

I did have to reinstall the server and then follow the above
instructions. I personally didn't want to run Apache or anything but
this works with 8500. Just in the nick of time.

Thanks to all.

[cfaussie] Adobe/Apple Screwed the pooch!

2007-10-28 Thread cfgroupie

I was totally excited to get my copy of Mac OSX. So much so that I
woke up the night before it came out 2am and thought...ooo only a few
more hours till I get it. How Sad! Nevertheless, I did get it and I
did get to install it and everything went really smoothly. Love that
about a mac. Shit just works. Except.

- Adobe ColdFusion8 tanked! I re-installed it and it still didn't
work.

So being the resourceful programmer I am I went to the Adobe website
where I found a link
http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/leopardsupport.pdf

No where in the document  did it say that it may have issues with
ColdFusion8. So I made the assumption it should have worked. When I
reinstalled (again) I found in the log there are issues with the java
version.  ug. We give microsoft shit about not being compatible with
stuff but in this case I believe Apple and Adobe dropped the ball.
That said I won't be going back to MS for my preferred OS simply
because shit just works (except cf8 hehehe).

- Apple
WTF happen to stacks...what a waste of programming energy! I was
really looking forward to this feature but you can't customize it what
so ever. better off turning it off until its cleaned up.

IF...and I doubt it; anyone is from Adobe and Apple are reading this.
Fix it as soon as possible. Strike while the iron is hot with people
jumping to MacOSX rather then WIndblows. Although that said I have had
to give up ColdFusion for .NET and I have had to take at least 4 other
CF'ers with me...so..I can't say to much.

Jeremy.

PS if anyone else has had the problem. let me know...and if you got it
working let me know too. purty please.

2007-10-28 Thread cfgroupie

Yeah thought it may be the case. Bottom line though is that until
adobe release the newer versions of pretty much everything MAC users
are foobah! I use localhost running port 8500 so using jrun I guess I
could use in the mean time IF it works. But it doesn't really matter
anyway as I will be programming in .NET anyway. Thus going to Vista.
bla bla bla bla.

Now we play the waiting game...It's forcing me to build stuff in .NET
which is a good thing anyway.hehe.

[cfaussie] Re: Parallels or Bootcamp?

2007-10-09 Thread cfgroupie

I agree with Kai. The only reason I run windows on my mac is for .NET
development and SQL. If it wasn't for that, and the fact that I'm
moving on from CF to .NET I wouldn't have it installed in the first
place. Nevertheless, Parellels is my choice purely because I use co-
herence all the time. out of site out of mind sort of thing.

 Ryan,

 I don't think there is a def right or wrong here. I personally do not
 like Bootcamp at all, I just run a Win XP VM in Parallels.

 There is another religious question to answer - Parallels or Fusion :)
 Again - some people are saying Fusion has a better performance - for
 my usage Parallels 3 is fine though, so I stick with it.

 The important thing to mention anyway is - give the MBP enough RAM,
 then it should be alright either way. I'm running 4 GB of which
 I've set aside 1 GB for the Windows VM - and that's fine for
 CF, IIS and SQL Server for a dev. setup. Maybe give it 1.5 GB...

 You should install Bootcamp and then install Parallels to run off the
 Boot Camp partition. That way you'll get the best of both worlds.

  Subject: [cfaussie] Coldfusion 8 Pricing - Is it a joke?

  No doubt this will be a heated thread but it has to be said, and I am sure
  we will all agree that we hope the powers at Adobe are watching.

  Now that CF8 has hit the Adobe site, we no longer have to wait for a
  release
  date, or do we?

  As many of you have no doubt seen, the pricing of the newly released
  Coldfusion 8 product is a little bit inflated. As well as that, the price
  difference between the boxed and download products is ridiculous. $500
  difference between the 2 of them.

  Lets have a look at the pricing

  Product Price Box   Price D/L
  DIFF
  

  == Coldfusion 8 ==
  CF 6.x or MX7 STD UG to CF8 ENT $9,489  $8,629  $860
  CF 6.x or MX7 ENT UG to CF8 ENT $6,085  $5,535  $550
  CF 6.x or MX7 STD UG to CF8 STD $1,055  $  955  $100

  == Coldfusion 7 ==
  CF 6.x STD UG to CF7 ENT$6,009  $5,465  $544
  CF 6.x ENT UG to CF7 ENT$3,129  $2,845  $284
  CF 6.x STD UG to CF7 STD$  679  $  615  $ 64

  For the enterprise licensing there is over a 50% price increase between
  this
  release and the previous release and a little less than that for the
  standard product.

  Also, whats the deal with the price different between the boxed and
  download
  between the upgrade paths? They cant be indicating that depending on the
  product that the boxes will be different and contain different stuff in
  them
  aside from the serial number being different can they?  Even if they
  seriously thought we would swallow that, how is it that the enterprise
  upgrades are different, by $300!

  If you are talking about price increases as a result of things like the
  server monitoring, why not sell them as an addon, much like the graphing
  components for Flex?  I am sure they can lock out functionality much like
  they do between the standard and enterprise products.

  Personally I get the feeling that Adobe is just milking this release.

  Steve

2007-04-28 Thread cfgroupie

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the update on the book. I'll add that to my list of must
reads. I mean since you taught me CF its only fair I buy one of your
books! hahahahaha. And make sure all that money is pouring in for you!
And Scott. Not only will I raid your bookshelf but I will raid your
fridge too as I know your wife makes yummy food.

As for the OT thingo. The reason I personally wrote it here is because
I'm a ColdFusion programmer. So developing FLEX coming from a CF
background I thought it
would be more appropriate.

Barry, you articulate much better then I. Are you a teacher or
something :-P!! I Also ran into those issues.

 Hmmm..

 Last couple of days has been somewhat heated discussions on the list,
 my bad on a few parts but taking a step back, thinking about what you
 guys/gals need and want from all of this, i can't but help understand
 where some of you want to head in terms of direction around this?

 On one part, all have indicated OT is not good. I agree, I reviewed
 some of my posts and I think at some stage, this list went back to
 it's old habits for me where it wasn't so much about CFAUSSIE but
 socialising with CFAUSSIE. Yet, in the past 6months it's picked up to
 being on topic. That being said, what's going on in this thread is
 more FLEX related then CF?

 So - What is the aim of this thread?  What is it you all want from
 this going forward. Jeremy's indicated he has pain points, Barry's
 supporting this while others are stating that it was more Jeremy's
 fault for not scoping or setting expectations correctly (which I do
 disagree with). Yet, on the flipside it's not Coldfusion related?

 I simply wonder what this list is about as it would be helpful to
 adjust my posture for one and others I'm guessing, so that when we do
 contribute to this list, it's considered on topic and relevant.

 Is this an Adobe only centric list? (ie FLEX, Apollo, Coldfusion,
 LiveCycle etc) or is it Coldfusion centric with all pieces relating to
 Coldfusion? what are those pieces?

 Lastly, whom are these complaints about FLEX that Jeremy and Barry
 have indicated are directed at/to? and what resolution is expected or
 if any?

 Scott.

   - broken examples on the flex livedocs (and the SDK documentation)
   - lots of people on flexcoders asking questions on similar or related

   - a real lack of worthwhile examples (self contained and working, not
  just a small code snip out of context)

I didn't go into this decision lightly. In fact it wasn't my ultimate
decision at all. I work for a HUGE company in which those decisions
are anaylsed to the endth degree.
And yes in high-end sight we should have done it in HTML/ColdFusion.

We actually discussed it with a Third party i.e. NOT me. So when is a
good time to start working with the new tools? The only way to fully
learn a language is to get dirty
with it. My issue that I have with Adobe is that they DID not fully
explain the complexity and learning curve that Flex has. The reason I
raised this issue with all of you, is I truly believe
that flex IS not ready for the main stream development environment.
Its close but its just not ready. When I went to WebDU which I have
nicked name FlexDU I spoke to Ted Patrick about the learning
curve of Flex and what I could do to help reduce that learning curve
and even he acknowledged that there is a steep learning curve with
Flex and it is an issue that Adobe has recognized. He said wait for
some more books to come out which should help. So perhaps now that
Flex is open source we will see alot more tutorials and better

2007-04-27 Thread cfgroupie

Hi Toby,

Thanks for you input. I agree I won't give up Flex as I believe it has
potential but I won't recommend it for major/minor applications. I
will stick with .NET or ColdFusion. I believe the whole RIA is just
still too young.

I will say this one more time.

1. We had an external consultancy validate code and methodologies
2. The deadline wasn't missed. (yet).
3. My disappointment was two pronged.
 a.) Although they explain the concepts behind Flex it really only
scratches the surface.
 b.) The lack of examples.

I had a mate of mine warn me who knows flex back to front.
Don't do a flex app or your project will fail. It hasn't failed yet
but I understand what he means now.

I truly hope that making Flex Open source will infact increase all
aspects of its programming. But until then I will stick to what I
originally stated.
I have told everyone in my immediate team that we will not be doing
another Flex application until things change.

Jeremy.

On Apr 28, 12:17 pm, Toby Tremayne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 I'd like to weigh in on this too - Jeremy i can understand your
 difficulties attempting to get your head around flex in so short a
 time, but there are a couple of points I'd like to make:

 1) All companies are guilty of focusing on what the good Dr Hilliard
 calls the Elevator Pitch - showing the bells and whistles that make
 things incredibly easy, and not focusing on the long term
 requirements.  But to be totally honest that's no different than
 allaire/macromedia et al have ever done with CF.  Low entry barrier -
 some things are dead easy to do.  That doesn't mean you'll be able to
 build complex apps in a day.  Think about it - we all know it take 2
 minutes to use cfquery and cfoutput and write a dynamic page to view
 data in a db.  But none of us assume that means we're going to be
 able to write enterprise apps integrating with all manner of things
 and using complex OO frameworks etc in no time.

 2) AS3 is pretty easy to learn in and of itself - but that doesn't
 mean you're going to know the whole API and all the ins and outs in a
 week.  You can knock up simple little example apps in no time at all,
 but if you're looking at building anything serious, you need to take
 the time to understand the event model and asynchronous calls among
 other things.  I don't see this at all as a failing of the language
 OR of adobe.  Anyone who leaps into a new technology for a short
 fixed deadline based on just the elevator pitch is bound to feel pain.

 3)  Once you've learned the basic differences and gotten past the web
 based request/response paradigm, you'll find flex magnificent -and
 very RAD.  There is yet to be a language developed that just lets you
 say I want this and this and this and this and it magically works.

 I hope you get the chance to give flex another try.  When I first had
 at it, I was in exactly the same boat as you - and I had trouble
 shifting paradigms in my thinking.  But with the advice of people on
 the lists and reading the books I'm absolutely loving it now - it's a
 seriously powerful tool and is going to be very important in the not
 too distant future I think.  Don't be discouraged by the fact that it
 doesn't happen overnight.

  1. We had an external consultancy validate code and methodologies
  2. The deadline wasn't missed. (yet).
  3. My disappointment was two pronged.
   a.) Although they explain the concepts behind Flex it really only
  scratches the surface.
   b.) The lack of examples.

  I had a mate of mine warn me who knows flex back to front.
  Don't do a flex app or your project will fail. It hasn't failed yet
  but I understand what he means now.

  I truly hope that making Flex Open source will infact increase all
  aspects of its programming. But until then I will stick to what I
  originally stated.
  I have told everyone in my immediate team that we will not be doing
  another Flex application until things change.

   I'd like to weigh in on this too - Jeremy i can understand your
   difficulties attempting to get your head around flex in so short a
   time, but there are a couple of points I'd like to make:

   1) All companies are guilty of focusing on what the good Dr Hilliard
   calls the Elevator Pitch - showing the bells and whistles that make
   things incredibly easy, and not focusing on the long term
   requirements.  But to be totally honest that's no different than
   allaire/macromedia et al have ever done with CF.  Low entry barrier -
   some things are dead easy to do.  That doesn't mean you'll be able to
   build complex apps in a day.  Think about it - we all know it take 2
   minutes to use cfquery and cfoutput and write a dynamic page to view
   data in a db.  But none of us assume that means we're going to be
   able to write enterprise apps integrating with all manner of things
   and using complex OO frameworks etc in no time.

   2) AS3 is pretty easy to learn in and of itself - but that doesn't
   mean you're going to know the whole API and all the ins and outs in a
   week.  You can knock up simple little example apps in no time at all,
   but if you're looking at building anything serious, you need to take
   the time to understand the event model and asynchronous calls among
   other things.  I don't see this at all as a failing of the language
   OR of adobe.  Anyone who leaps into a new technology for a short
   fixed deadline based on just the elevator pitch is bound to feel pain.

   3)  Once you've learned the basic differences and gotten past the web
   based request/response paradigm, you'll find flex magnificent -and
   very RAD.  There is yet to be a language developed that just lets you
   say I want this and this and this and this and it magically works.

   I hope you get the chance to give flex another try.  When I first had
   at it, I was in exactly the same boat as you - and I had trouble
   shifting paradigms in my thinking.  But with the advice of people on
   the lists and reading the books I'm absolutely loving it now - it's a
   seriously powerful tool and is going to be very important in the not
   too distant future I think.  Don't be discouraged by the fact that it
   doesn't happen overnight.

And yes in high-end sight we should have done it in HTML/ColdFusion.

We actually discussed it with a Third party i.e. NOT me. So when is a
good time to start working with the new tools? The only way to fully
learn a language is to get dirty

[cfaussie] SOT:Adobe Flex let me down

2007-04-26 Thread cfgroupie

I walked into worked today with everyone around me saying did you
hear? Flex has been open- sourced. My imediate thoughts was that's
interesting. But honestly it won't make me continue with flex.

I started a project about 2 months ago which was only going to take a
few weeks. Without going into a massive post about the project we
found a need to try out some Flex. I was Whoa stoked. We started off
very small a simple form posting to a database. My background is
mainly CF so I tackled Flex like a CF programmer would. It's sad to
say that I totally under estimated the complexity of programming Flex.
Now guys/gals, this page was the most BASIC page you could imagine.

Where I felt Adobe let me down was the fact that all their PR
explained how easy it was to pick up the Flex language. What they
don't tell you is that you REALLY need to know OO and you REALLY need
to have a good framework. The lack of examples in which I personally
learn from is so limited that it left me shell shocked. When I learned
ColdFusion it was SO much easier. Ben Forta is my friend! And of
course this list bailed me out a number of times. Adobe are constantly
pushing the fact that 9x% use flash player and video format is taking
off. Then how come Adobe doesn't utlise this and create tutorials on
how to use their products!?

The company I work for is Huge and the amount of time that I wasted
trying to achieve the most basic results I could have done 10 times
quicker in ColdFusion AND .NET twice over.

The sad fact of the matter is I will never recommend Flex to any
programmer or company that I deal with again. So I hope that making
Flex open-source will help bridge the massive learning curve that
developers will encounter.

Flex had so much potential and that I personally feel its fallin flat
on its vector based face.

[cfaussie] Re: SOT:Adobe Flex let me down

2007-04-26 Thread cfgroupie

Hi Angus,

What sort of application was it?
A very basic calculation application. i.e. I fill out textbox one,
textbox two and textbox three shows the calculated result, then insert
into the database.

I know about all the lists, I used them as well. What I found their is
that most of the people on the list are learning as well so although
sometimes the answers/suggestions worked, most of the time they
didn't.

I'm really interested in what sort of tutorials would cover the gap. Can you
be more specific ie topics for learning. I'd be happy to write some myself.

Well first and foremost how to lay out an application. I know of
Cairngorm or ARF, but I found is that the complexity of them are so
full on the time it would take would far out weigh what I had to deal
with, that said I had some help with a mixature of the two from
someone (whom I can't mention top secret stuff).

And I think Angus you nailed it on the head when you said It's also
significantly different to CF.  So in terms of that perhaps a Guide
to move your code from CF to Flex

- Validation
- Inserting Data into the database
- Understanding MVC from a ColdFusion Perspective
- What is OO?
- Why write is ActionScript Compared to mx:Tags

etc.

I know heaps of CF'ers whom really want to use Flex but the learning
curve is so huge that it scares them off. Hell I even know .NET
programmers who would Like to use it but I tell them...No garry no!

I'm not giving up on it but I'm definantly not going to recommend it
again.

Jeremy
P.S. And for the jobs that are out their... .NET far out weighs any CF
jobs. Unfortuantly. If I'm going to spend time learning another
language its going to be that.

 Hi Jeremy

 I'd agree that there is quite a learning curve for Flex. The framework is
 very comprehensive, lots of classes and it's easy to get lost. It's also
 object oriented and there are some concepts such as event handling that can
 do your head in at times. It's also significantly different to CF.

 Having said that I think Flex is like any new language. You've gotta spend
 the time learning it.  Maybe Adobe PR did oversell it's simplicity. What
 sort of application was it? Certainly don't start a critical Flex project
 without going through some training first but a single pager app should be
 nailed easily.

 I'm really interested in what sort of tutorials would cover the gap. Can you
 be more specific ie topics for learning. I'd be happy to write some myself.

 There are pretty good support materials out there. Flexcoders mailing list
 namely. Also half a dozen books have been published now on Flex, a bunch of
 training videos from Lynda and Training from the Source and literally
 hundreds of custom components, example code, blogs and so on.

 By framework do you mean Cairngorm or ARF? Frameworks for big projects, Flex
 event handling for small.

 Jeremy, don't give up on Flex just yet. There's a touch of early adopter /
 bleeding edge with Flex but it's bedding down quite nicely.

 You've only got to look at the cf job ads asking about Flex experience to
 know where we're heading.

 Bah :) no such thing is a perfectly executed project in software, we are all

 Secondly, what company is going to say let Jeremy sit on Flex for 6 months

[cfaussie] Flex Question:

2007-03-12 Thread cfgroupie

Hi guys,

I don't have access from work to Yahoo Groups but I do have access to
cfaussie. go figure.
Never the less I'm struggling with Flex and all its pain. So if anyone
out there knows flex and this question I would be much appreciated.

I'm trying to do a simple calculation. So when you put a value in one
field it will calculate in another...and so on. Below is the
actionscript.

private function CostCalc():void{

}

[cfaussie] Re: Flex Question:

2007-03-12 Thread cfgroupie

Sorry button got clicked!! Stoopid computer...let me try that script
again...

private function CostCal():void{
   var a:int = Number(form1.text.replace(/,/g,''));
   var b:int = Number(form2.text.replace(/,/g,''));
   var c:int = Number(form3.text.replace(/,/g,''));

  //Calculation
  var i:int = Number(a*(b+c));
  var h:int = Number(365);
  var g:int = Number(i/h);
 form4.text = NumberFormatter.format(g);
}


So what this is basically doing is adding the fields then displaying
in another field. I have used int/number just to make sure its a
numeric value. It doesn't make a difference if I change that. Also I
got it so it adds but when I try to divide or anything else it freaks!
i.e. no calculation.

IS there anywhere that someone can point me to doing calculations in
actionscript...cause what I have found on the internet is limited. I
might have to bail on flex and go back to javascript and HTML...

Any advise would be good.

Thanks.
Jeremy

 the QldCFUG team would like to welcome everyone back for what is
 likely to be a bumper year. Lots of news and new stuff, new schwag to
 give away, a new venue and a new meeting date.

 So full this coming year will be that we've jumped the gun with an
 extra special CFUG to kick us into 2007 - and to keep us up to speed
 with all the new Adobe Technology in what will be an interesting race
 to the future. Keep ahead of the pack with your local usergroup!

 First up is a special Apollo Presentation on Wednesday 31st
 at QANTM College in downtown Brisbane (see address details below)

 In a nutshell, Apollo is a new desktop environment with webserver
 backend connectivity - the newist forms of RIA's that will have a
 profound effect on the web and applications from now on.

 This special meet will introduce and give an overview of the Adobe
 Apollo Runtime as well as what Apollo means for Coldfusion Developers.
 There will also be a demonstration on how to build a _Desktop_ (!!!)
 Application using Coldfusion and Flex Builder (and Apollo, of course).

 as well as heaps of news and announcements - exciting stuff!

 And in addition to a new venue, we've got a change of dates. Except
 for this special CFUG on the 31st, the CFUG meeting dates have been
 changed to the second Wednesday of every month (the second meeting of
 the year will be on Wednesday 14th Feb) and held at QANTM College.

 So RSVP now so you can go into the lucky prize draw.

 RSVP Details: It's real simple: just sign up to the low 
 traffichttp://groups.google.com/group/qldcfuglist and in addition to being

[cfaussie] Apache 2.2 ColdFusion Windows

2006-12-19 Thread cfgroupie


Hey Guys,

I have installed Apache on my computer because IIS was giving me the
s*its. But I haven't been very successful. I Found that CF 7.02 isn't
compatible with Apache 2.2. Although I did find this article.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=8001e97 which
is for Linux.

Has anyone else come across doing this? If so how did you fix it?
Bottom line is that it doesn't recognise .cfm extention nor the whole
module.

Does anyone know if Flash Remoting has changed in the way that we
connect to coldfusion. I had this working correctly on the early
version by commenting out the revevant sections in the
gateway-config.xml.

Now it just comes back with a blank screen. I'm using the basic example

[cfaussie] MySQL Query Statement Syntax

2006-10-15 Thread cfgroupie

Hey Guys,

I have started a project which require me of using MySQL. I have used
it once before but I found a few issues. Not being totally familiar
with MySQL I ran into an odd issue when I was posting information to a
query.


cfquery name=CheckEmail datasource=#application.ads#
SELECT JobMailRejected, candidateID
FROM tbl_candidate
WHERE CandidateID = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_integer
value=#CheckCandidate.CandidateID# /
/cfquery


If i use the cfqueryparam tag it fails everytime. Is this only for
MSSQL or am I missing something.

[cfaussie] MySQL and CF

2006-10-15 Thread cfgroupie

Hi guys,

I posted this yesterday but I'm unsure how come it didn't arrive on the
list. Nevertheless I'll ask again.

In my CFQUERY I am using the CFQUERYPARAM tag

cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_integer
value=#CheckCandidate.CandidateID# /

Now most of the stuff I work on is in MSSQL. But I've recently takin up
a MySQL contract in which I will be required to use a MySQL database.
When I use the above code with cfqueryparam in my SQL statement I get ?
marks where the value should be.

Is CFQUERYPARAM only for MSSQL or am I missing something with MySQL?

Hahaha.

Nicer I meant making it work. Cause right now Its not working at all.
What I am scared of is that we have coded our application in such a way
that the debugger won't be able to work it out. Its simular to spectra.
OLD SCHOOL.

We already bought the licence oddly enough the company bought it for us
even though we are movin to .NET.go figure.

Anyway I will drop them an email and hopefully get an answer this time.

[cfaussie] Re: cfdebugger

2006-10-10 Thread cfgroupie

Thats amazing as I haven't been able to achieve even that result. I
found that if I ran the debugger or should I say it was running, I
called my coldfusion page which had a CFC invoked in it. I got an error
along the lines of its to big to show the results. I have never seen
an error like this before. Thinking it was my programming issue, I
looked all over the place for the bug, then I turned OFF debugging and
the error went away. We are calling a CFC within a CFC but still it
should be able to handle that I would assume.

IS there any tutorials/best practices available that show how to make
debugging CFC a bit nicer.

everyday at work.





A financially secure, ASX listed company who provides IT services to
organisations of all sizes across the Asia Pacific region, is seeking
an experienced ColdFusion/.Net Developer.

Working in a team self-described as a crazy, technical bunch of people,
who know their stuff and have a good sense of humour; the
ColdFusion/.Net Developer will need to be a positive person who thinks
laterally and has excellent problem solving and people skills.

While 90% of current development is written in ColdFusion with a SQL
Server 2000 backend, it is envisaged that in 6 to 12 months time most
applications will have been converted to .Net2. Because of this,
candidate's with both ColdFusion and ASP.net skills are encouraged to
apply (candidates with both skills are preferred).

a social environment with employee benefits then apply now or call Joel

Doods,

I brought this up a few lists ago. I'm currently battling to keep CF as
well. But its a battle that is going to end with MS being the winner.

Firstly; RoR there is one for ColdFusion called CFWheels do a google
search. However it only works with Apache and for the most part I
couldn't even get running.

Secondly; THE only way ColdFusion is going to get more market share
(because right now its what it needs) are;
1. Come out with some Kick A** features that will blow MS out of the
water
2. Open source the ColdFusion Server thing and sell the tools such as
flex builder, DW

Sad to say we are moving to .NET because of licences.

The issue isn't if BlueDragon is cheaper or not. The fact of the matter
is the Server licences cost to much. We have are LARGE application
that is writtin in CF but will be pushed to .NET because its cheaper to
buy studio and distribute our application then it is to buy CF server/s
licence and then our cost of the application on top of that.

Sorry Adobe/MM/Allaire have it ass backwards.

[cfaussie] Re: How to extend application.cfc in a subfolder

2006-08-23 Thread cfgroupie

Hi Mike,

Yes. I hear you man! I brought this issue up with Macromedia LONG LONG
ago. IN fact i brought this up with the man whom programs coldfusion
when he was here visiting Brisbane.

The short answer is that it can't be done. I put an enhancement into
Macromedia/Adobe about a year ago to make the extends portion to
allow dynamics i.e. #path_location#, but I'm sure that got sucked into
the abyss.

Anyway, turns out the only way too do that is via mappings. We are
using the extends functionality heavily for business rules and its a
pain in the ass.

I WOULD BE most willing to hear a better solution but until they fix it
CF8 (if they do) it can't be done.

Macromedia's response was it has to be the absolute path of the CFC.

Jeremy

Just my two cents...I wouldn't pay 2cents for this pile 'o' crap. I
sent an email as I was having issues with setting it up, and to date
still didn't get a response back. I figured it out in the end, but the
support was simply not there.

I got it up and running and it only worked with .cfm pages that had
code in it when I tried to use it with some more advanced code (i.e.
invoking cfc's) its freaked out and didn't do anything. I would assume
that it would read that code as well.

Think I will wait for Adobe to bring out there one.

p.s. I want my two cents back now.

[cfaussie] Getting Rid of FTP

Hey crazy CF'ers,

I have a question for anyone whom uses FTP. I hate it. We have
documents that we transfer from one location to another. The biggest
issue with FTP is how slow it is. IS there a way in CF to transfer the
documents without using FTP, i.e. binary or something like that.

Or am I stuffed here.

Hey just to add more fuel to the fire. We just had a company meeting
last night and they had a guest speaker there from Microsoft, talking
about SOLUTIONS ironically. They are coming out with Studio 2005 with
some added features which apparently haven't been released yet which
from what I understand are using MS Project, MS Word and some new
server which will track all your project changes and where it is at
that point in the SDLC.

And because my company are a Gold Partner with MS I saw my little CF

Guys Guys Guys,

Like I said many posts ago. Its not only hosting, trends, and
programmers that are the issue. It is the company directors that make
the decesions. i.e. I have reason to believe we are sleeping with the
enemy...(MS that is) and because we get special treats to work in
.NET or convert our CF code over to .NET (god for bid but its only a
matter of time), owners of companys go wow that sounds like a deal.

Not to mention I have to deal with brain washed .net programming morons
coming out of University everyday saying we could do this or that
better in .NET. idiots.

[cfaussie] Kill them all!!!! --- ALL sessions

2006-06-06 Thread cfgroupie

Howdy people,

I have found a tiny issue with our application. When we close the
browser it doesn't release the application. i.e. the session doesn't
seem to clear.

1. Is there a way to totally blow away all sessions when the browser
closes. prefer not to call another page using javascript if we can get
away with it.

2. Does Application.cfc have any abilities to cater for this?

3. Any other ideas.

Its becoming serious issue. Below is a little snippet of our
Application.cfm pretty standard stuff.

cfapplication
 name=Validator_2_3_DEV
 sessionmanagement=yes
setclientcookies = true
sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,1,0,0)#
 clientmanagement=true


cfset cookie.cfid = session.cfid

2006-06-04 Thread cfgroupie

We simply did a loop over it. Actually we were indexing documents. But
you can use the same theory. Also in ColdFusion 7 there is a sleep
function which will allow you to sleep the server until a particular
process is done. This would depend on how intense the processing is.

Toby,

I too would be interested in setting up lucene. Any code/documents you
have let us know. We are seriously going to ditch Verity becuase of all
the issues we have had with it

[cfaussie] Webservices playing with the data

2006-05-11 Thread cfgroupie

Hi guys,

Not sure how to explain this. So I'll try to make this as simple as
possible for me. I have a web service that is called and we pass a
query to it. Now in that web service query we have  descriptions. Now
here is the issue;

If the description has funny characters such as (I think ascii
characters) it will fail the webservice from sending over the data. I
notice this inparticular when you copy and paste from either MS Word or
from the web.

Below is a snapshot of the error. I believe this is an issue with web
services and the way it reads and writes the xml but I'm unsure. Anyone
have an issue like this. I might just add that when I save it to the
database directly it works perfectly



 Here is the fault returned when invoking the web service operation:

[cfaussie] Re: Where have all the CF developers gone?

2006-05-07 Thread cfgroupie

Wow, what a full on thread.

Is it my turn yet. I've been programming for 6 years now. And I
wouldn't count myself as senior. Although I'm starting to get the grey
hair and my seeing is getting worse. [EMAIL PROTECTED] man that was a full on 
read
and I was sucked in like a bad hooker.

Bottom line guys. ColdFusion is a kick ass language I love touching it
everyday, but three things are slowing it down and I said this at the
last CFUG.

1. Marketing
2. Microsoft
3. Cost

1.)  Because the lack of Marketing(hopefully to change with Adobe) We
still get people going what is coldfusion wasn't that in the movie with
Val Kilmer.

2.) Microsoft and the .NET empire. I currently work for a friggin huge
company which supply all sorts of IT professionals. THE MOST common
language requested is .NET All Univerisity grads comming out all have
.NET as there friggin major. Robin if no one is teaching it then no one
will be programming it. Pretty simple

3.) The cost. The cost factor is the main issue with our customers. We
deal with big corporates but yet they still bitch and moan about how
much CF licences cost. Setting up .NET is far cheaper. Doesn't mean its
better but its cheaper. *footnote: Companies that are running Windows
Servers not linux so don't even debate with me about that.

Perhaps we talk to the U.S. Government about recruiter CF cadets like
George does. I hear they are bringing back the draft.I just shaved
my head so now I look like a drill sargent. YOU will program in
ColdFusion, now drop and give me a CFDUMP!

I hate to say it but my little team hear, may have to jump to .NET soon
but I don't want to make that decesion. But if the clients want it we
do it.

No I'm just cutting down the code so that you can see what I'm getting
at. Its coming from a query, I'm just using querysetcell to illustrate
that. Obviously not very well.hehehe. I'm looping over a query
nonetheless, each time I loop over I want to append the CID.

I swear I'm gonna kick myself when I'm done with this.

[cfaussie] Re: Session sharing

2006-04-10 Thread cfgroupie

Hi Scott,

We had the same issue here just about a week ago. We found that
ColdFusion has issues with sessions, cookies, and pretty much anything
related. Two things. Check how you are doing Cookies, and check your
session managment, i.e. your timeout of your cflogin(if you are using
it) isn't causing you issues. I know that ColdFusion also seems to have
issues with sharing the same cfid and cftoken across the browsers. Its
almost like it gets confused or corupted.

We are in the process right now of converting our Application.cfm to
Application.cfc to hopefully counter-act this issue. Although that said
you can't help what users do. Just make sure you aren't passing your
CFID and CFTOKEN via the URL. 

Hope that helps a little.

Hey Guys,

There is a Pause Function within ColdFusion you can use to pause the
ColdFusion process then loop over that each time until a file is
created or what ever you want to do. Tis very cool

[cfaussie] CFEXECUTE .bat files

2006-03-14 Thread cfgroupie

Hi guys,

My little team has decided to build an installer for our web
application. We got it down pat, execpt one little issue with .bat
files.

We are looping over environments i.e. Test, Train, Production. Each one
we need to copy over code to the relevant environment. What we have
found is that coldfusion is to fast for the .bat file to run its xcopy
commands.

Is there a way to wait for the .bat to finish before we go to the next
instance of the loop?

cfexecute name=c:\copyit.bat timeout=600/cfexecute

[cfaussie] Re: CFEXECUTE .bat files

2006-03-14 Thread cfgroupie

Because we are changing contents of files for each environment i.e.
Production, Train, Test. Therefore we need to loop over it each time.

I have found other thing which I find odd. In our development
environment when I use cfexecute it seems to be trying to execute it
from the following path.
C:\JRun4\binxcopy c:\2_3 c:\2_4 /e /i /y

When in my code I tell it to run from the cmd...what the?

Becareful with .NET webservices and ColdFusion. We had some serious
