Re: [ACFUG Discuss] integrate blog with cf site
I actually just installed BlogCFC for the first time two nights ago, and have been extremely pleased with its functionality and codebase. I wrote a blog about how much I liked it, and how it kicked the tar out of the crappy DNN blog I've been running for the past year or so. Unfortunately, that posting isn't live yet, but it was just basically really backing up Rays project. It easily spawns out several blogs and I have it running on CF8 and SQL Server 2005 which I'm not sure were even supported in the documentation yet. To answer your question about integrating. I've just now started looking at the product, but its well coded and laid out. There is a function in the blog.cfc file called authenticate() method that accepts a username and password that he compares against the tblusers table in your SQL Server install. Here you could either call a direct query to your database of usernames instead, or even do something quick that says or whatever you have, to just bypass the authentication. I'll probably do some active directory stuff here when we release some internal company blogs. Its all going to depend upon your setup, but going with a tried and true, completely open-code application in CF like Rays I think is going to prove your best bet. I'm not dogging Wordpress by any means, just really backing BlogCFC as what you could try first, rather than spending time having to deal with a non-CF (who knows how open) software project. -Cheyenne On 8/30/07, shawn gorrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Why don't you pop an email to Ray about it?

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] integrate blog with cf site
Why don't you pop an email to Ray about it? Ray has to be one of the best people in the CF community about giving away code and helping people out when they ask. Don't be shy about popping him an email, as he is probably one of the nicest dudes you'd ever meet. I use a very old version of BlogCFC and have been totally happy with it. I've done my own extensions to it, and find the codebase to be simple to understand. I'm sure it has changed significantly in the years since the release I'm using. - Original Message From: Dusty Hale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: discussion@acfug.org Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 6:26:10 PM Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] integrate blog with cf site Just so I understand correctly I've already built a login system from the ground up using cf and sql 2000.
