Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Can I Remove the URL from Child Windows?

[Ken Auenson, II]

Are you sure you need actual windows?
It sounds like you can get what you need using divs like suggested in other
replies will give you what you need.
If using jQuery, this is all wrapped up as "dialog"s.
https://jqueryui.com/dialog/
Other js libraries have similar implementations as well.
A dialog can have static content, or pull in dynamic content with an Ajax
request, and you can have as many open and drag-able on screen as needed.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] error trap emails -- html format for gmail?

Steven,
You need to add type=HTML to your cfmail tag.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Error Handling and CF8

[Ken Auenson, II]

If you are going to be building robust error handling, it would likely be
worth your time to upgrade the Application.cfm's to Application.cfc's now.
Because you get so much more control of specific events in the CFC version,
it lends itself well to better error handling, IMHO.
Ben Nadel's blog has some excellent write-ups of how to work with the CFC
version if you aren't familiar with it. :)

 But, no, couldn’t find any Application.cfc’s either and that certainly left
 me a little puzzled to be sure.

 Well, here's a quick tip for you - you mentioned you only searched for
 Application.cfm files, you might want to include Application.cfc to that
 search.  Application.cfc is the newer version of Application.cfm and has
 many more events that can be handled at page/application load times.  You
 might have several of those floating around where you'll want to put in your
 error handling.

 Excellent point!



 I’ll admit, I’m still quite new to working with CF and coming behind a
 number of developers onto a project with a less than ideal documentation
 policy… well… you get the idea… :)



 Thankfully, I love a good challenge. :D

 :-)



 That's not uncommon...each Application.cfm or Application.cfc can be used
 for separate applications, or can be used to help keep directories from
 being secured, etc.  It's just part of the CF framework - wouldn't call it a
 mess just because there's multiple of them!  Might be that it is a mess,
 but, multiple Application files definitely have their place.

 Ah Ha!



 Looks as though I was barking up the wrong Application.cfm…



 I’ve found one that’s not encrypted and is apparently being used by my
 application mixed in all the source that I hadn’t noticed before.



 How many of these “Application.cfm” files are typically built into a single
 CF server? Oddly enough, I’ve found about 8 on this box. What a mess…

 Afternoon All!



 I’m trying to setup error handling for our production environment to be
 more sophisticated then explosion followed by a crash and burn.



 With that, I’ve been able to find a wealth of tutorials on how to set
 templates and all sorts of other goodies but a majority of them require me
 to modify the Application.cfm or Application.cfc.



 My server(s) are all running vanilla CF8 and only use the Application.cfm.
 However, I’m unable to modify the file, I get a whole bunch of goop (with an
 example below) when I attempt to modify the file in just about every editor
 I have access to.



 *Example*:
 --

 N
 --

 P
 --

 ¶¢**´



 Is it encrypted? Am I being thick? Any direction would be greatly
 appreciated as always!



 Thanks!

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Noob help

[Ken Auenson, II]

Mike,
What you are looking at is probably what in CF world is called a query of
queries.
Does the CFQUERY tag look like this?
cfquery name=foo dbtype=query 

This is a built in feature in CF that allows you to run a query against a
result from another query.
So qryGetVisitRecords is probably the name of another query you have above
this one...

Hope this helps! :)

 Hi everyone,

 I am new to Cold Fusion and have been tasked with maintaining an existing
 application and am having a little trouble following the code.

 Specifically, I am unable to understand the following cfquery snippet and
 how the from clause is figuring out what the table is:

 --- Code below -
 SELECT *
 FROM qryGetVisitRecords
  cfif form.assigned_month_filter neq  and not listFind(asc,desc,
 form.assigned_month_filter)
 , qryGetAssignedMonths
  WHERE qryGetAssignedMonths.sitecompany_id =
 qryGetVisitRecords.sitecompany_id
 --

 The issue is that I do not have a qryGetVisitRecords table or view. Also,
 do not have a qryGetAssignedMonths table or view. So, the question is where
 to I find how the query is calculating the table name. And, is there a way
 to trap the sql statement so that I can visually inspect it.


 Thanks
