Scott, Generator is no longer a supported solution. It has been replaced with the MX platform, and in particular, Flash Remoting, which allows Flash movies to communicate with either a ColdFusion, Java or .NET back-end. You might want to take a look at the tutorials below. They demonstrat

Have you tried GNU Emacs? http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html It is a highly customizable editor which I'm certain people have written plenty of CFMX extensions for. If you are using RedHat, it will already be installed. I'm also a big fan of Vim (Vi Improved) on Unix systems, an

Re: Using CFMX to generate Static HTML pages

2003-01-14 Thread Christian Cantrell
I like this approach that Dave is suggesting, and use it often. Specifically, I like using wget to generate HTML (and even CFM, but in your case, HTML) files, primarily because I can use make to determine dependancies and handle the build process. Once it's all working correctly, you make

If you are going to put initialization code like this in your Application.cfm file, just be sure that you do not use any code that can generate another HTTP request for another CFM file (such as a cfhttp tag) as you may either create an infinite loop (with a readonly lock) or a deadlock (wi

Another option is to post-process your access logs. In other words, set up a process to parse your access logs at some set interval and insert the data (in your case, the just referrer) into a database. This works well for extremely high volume servers like those used in ad serving. Chri

One problem is that you are looking at "form.VIEW_DB" in both of your if statements in your action page. I think you meant to use form.VIEW_DB in one and form.view_All in the other. See if that helps. Christian On Friday, January 10, 2003, at 12:26 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I have a f

Try removing the semicolons from the last properites in each of your classes. For instance: .Normal_Text_Black { font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial; font-size: 12px; color: 00 } (No semicolon after "color".) Christian On Thursday, January 9, 2003, at 01:50 PM, Bryan Steve

I think Matt is right on this one. I don't think it can be done other than to pop up a small browser instance and use an HTML form. Browsers place a lot of security restrictions around file inputs (and rightfully so), so I think you may just have to play by the browser's rules. You can alw

You can just run: /Applications/JRun4/bin/wsconfig It's a nice GUI to configure Apache to sit on top of JRun and CFMX. Is that what you were looking for? Note: Make sure JRun is running before you run the script. Also, you have run Apache as root (using sudo) since by default, it will listen
