CFMX7 and SMS

2005-07-22 Thread dcooper
Just a reminder that we have like 4 whole new chapters in the CFMX7 Developers Guide dedicated to Gateways and SMS. Answers and detailed examples and discussion can be found there. Very good stuff (reviewed these chapters personally for the doc team) Damon ~~~

Can CFMX 6.1 and CFMX 7 co-exist?

2005-06-22 Thread dcooper
Yes, CFMX7 was designed to co-exist peacefully with CFMX 6.1 and CF5. When you install CFMX7, if asked (UNIX), just point to your previous config and we'll copy/migrate your CF5 or CFMX6.1 settings into the new CFMX7 installation for you (the post-install wizard that runs the first time you lo

If you have a repro case, BTW, shoot it at me offline and I'd like to check it out. But for manual breaking, the idea is you'll want use cfdocumentitem type="pagebreak" in your cfloop or whatever you're using after closing the table tag, then re-open the table tag after the page break. How d

For that matter, actual browsers themseleves have some differences in implementation and rendering complex table layouts and CSS. For the most part, the I think you'll find the HTML 4.01 and CSS 1 and 2 support is very good in CFDOCUMENT and far more complete than any other solution, IMO. HTH

Here's the answer to this one: what you're seeing is the rendering of the iFrame contents only. If you remove the embedded iframe from this page, it renders fine. Support for iFrames is enhancement request #54932, FYI. HTH Damon >Our user group did a presentation last night and our user grou

Yeah, tracking row counts in table rendering sometimes is an imprecise science, but I've seen it done with good results. It's a little discocerting for users to split onto a new page without new headers re-rendered on printed copy anyway, so oming up with a counter, ending the tabel and re-star

You'll want to make sure you have resolveURL set for the CFHTTP call, that you have background images enabled for CFDOCUMENT, and watch the iframes on that page. I'll take a look at the result of this page in CFDOC later today, but those are a few tings I can think of off the top of my head. A

Not sure what "complex HTML" is, but full HTML 4.01 and CSS 1 and 2 are supported. If a browser can render it, we liely can as well. No HTML->XHTML re-formatting is required. >It is also not very good at complex HTML. > >Probably loads out there.have a look for iText or some other Java ba

Hmmm...this could be a known issue where if a table cell extends across pages, long text or images in that table cell can get cut off if CFDOC is doing auto-page breaking. It's on our radar to look at in the future, as is table header cell auto-duplication across pages when page breaks are enco

Here's a quick example of using the Asynchronous CFML Gateway that is setup to demonstrate a 100X performance improvement (from a user's perspective) vs synchronous CFML execution for long-running tasks that can be run in parallel. Hope that helps (watch the URL wrap): http://www.dcooper.org/bl

CF Precompilation filenames

FYI, with CFMX7, code can be precompiled from command prompt or via a checkbox option in the Administrator when building and deploying standalone J2EE WAR/EAR files. Also note that (as of CFMX 6.1) we no longer compile to an intermediate Java source step before generating Java bytecode. We no

This simple example demonstrates how to spawn and run many long-running tasks simultaneously using the Async CFML Gateway from a regular CFML web page, and creates a "synchronization point" in the CFML page that waits for all threads to complete before continuing. Communication between threads
