Synchronization via FTP

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 03 Mar 2014 18:06:42 GMT

Is CFBuilder dropping FTP synchronization, or is it just not part of Thunder yet? Or should I install some 3rd party plugin. Yes I know FTP synchronization is old school.

Configuration variables for a REST cfc

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 03 Nov 2014 15:30:01 GMT

I am creating my first RESTful cfc which will allow a legacy system to interact with a more current system. There are some "configuration" variables that need to be available to a couple of functions in the cfc. These variables are mainly for disk paths and an API key. What is the best practice for setting these variables in my RESTful cfc? Should I just declare them at the beginning of the component outside the functions in the variables scope? Do I need an init function? If I use an init function how does it get called when the other functions are only called via REST?

cfpdfform issue with field name

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 29 May 2014 14:49:07 GMT

We have a pdf that is filled out by ColdFusion using <cfpdfform>. A field in the pdf was named incorrectly so there are 2 fields named the same thing (let's say "field1"). As the system has populated (many) copies of the pdf the same value has gone into both fields named "field1" when really two different values should have gone into a "field1" and "field2".

I need to get the information correctly entered into "field2" so I had two ideas...

I researched was renaming the field in all the pdfs using ColdFusion (so I could repopulate the new field) but that does not appear to be possible. But to confirm... Can you rename a field in a pdf using ColdFusion?
If I couldn't rename it I just wanted to change what was in the second occurrence of "field1". I tried using the index attribute of <cfpdfformparam> but that only applies to forms created in LiveCycle. Does anyone know how to populate only one occurrence of a field name in a pdf using <cfpdfform>?

As an aside I have corrected the field name in the pdf for future use.

Testing success/failure of archiveLogFile() method of servermanager

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 28 May 2014 16:06:44 GMT

When attempting to archive a log file programmatically using the archiveLogFile() method of servermanager is there a way to test the success/failure of the action. I tried

adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("topsecret");
serverObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi._servermanager.servermanager");
result = serverObj.archiveLogFile("logfilename");
writeDump(result);

However, result is undefined.

Thanks!

SELECT IN query using ormExecuteQuery()

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 23:14:31 GMT

I'm trying to do a SELECT IN query using ormExecuteQuery(). Following is the code I have:

Categories = ormExecuteQuery("from Category where Id IN (?)",[CategoryList]);

It only works when there is 1 value in the CategoryList. i.e. This works:

Categories = ormExecuteQuery("from Category where Id IN (?)",[9]);

This DOES NOT work:

Categories = ormExecuteQuery("from Category where Id IN (?)",[8,9,10]);

Help would be greatly appreciated.

ColdFusion Builder 2 and WebDav

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 18:20:20 GMT

I maintain a website that is hosted by a University. Files are synced from my local machine to their server using WebDav. For the previous 5 years I have used Dreamweaver which supports synching to a remote site via WebDav in the site definitions. I have recently begun using CFBuilder, however, which appears to only support synchronization via SFTP or FTP. My question is 2 part:

1. Is there a plugin for CFBuilder / Eclipse that will give me the option of synchronizing via WebDav

2. If there is no plugin what other option would be *Easy*? I have Transmit so I suppose I could use it if that is really the best option.

Server is running CF9 and I am on an iMac running CFBuilder 2 on Snow Leopard.

Thanks.

Horizontal CFMENU

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:39:42 GMT

I know you cannot provide a width attribute to a horizontal cfmenu... so is there no way to spread menu options out evenly across a certain width??? Say you have a menu running horizontally the width of your page layout and you have the following top level navigation: About | Contact | Professional Links Services | Our Team

Is there a way to spread the options apart evenly across 800px or so?

zip it. zip it good.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 27 May 2008 13:38:28 GMT

We currently have CF7 here and use zip.cfc to create zip files, however, we have a new project which needs password protected zip files. Is anyone else using zip.cfc and generating zip files with passwords?

Alternatively, can CF8 generate a zip file with a password? If yes, could someone point me to how.

I know that password protection on zip files can be cracked, but the project owner requires it. Thanks!

CFC Pickle

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 18:23:15 GMT

Here's the deal:
1. shared hosting and no access to cfadmin
2. host is running CF 7 enterprise
3. host won't create any mappings
4. cfobject and the createObject function are disabled
5. Here is a sample file structure:

-----ROOT
----------cfc_dir
---------------something.cfc
---------------somethingelse.cfc
----------somewebpages_dir
---------------file1.cfm
---------------file2.cfm
----------morewebpages_dir
---------------file3.cfm
---------------file4.cfm

I need to be able to call something.cfc or somethingelse.cfc from file1.cfm, file2.cfm, file3.cfm, or file4.cfm using cfinvoke. As far as I know though the cfcs must reside within the directory of the calling page.

What is the best way to handle this? Or can it be done?

MS Word Tomfoolery

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 19:20:30 GMT

I need to create msword docs from Coldfusion with portions of the word docs "protected". Anyone have any idea if this is even possible. I can generate the word docs fine with cfcontent, but I have no idea how to "protect" portions of the docs. Anyone?

As an aside I have/had no choice in the decision to deliver these as a word docs.

Thanks!

Send form data from Coldfusion to ASP

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 14:44:06 GMT

I need to send form data from CF to ASP.

I submit a CF page and validate it on my end with another CF page, which then needs to post the results to an asp page on another site. The post has to be sent via SSL and I don't need to and cannot receive any status message back from the remote ASP site. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I was thinking some type of cfhttp, but I am not very familiar with its usage.

Thanks!

cfinvoke equivalent needed

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 19:05:57 GMT

My hosting company just killed access to the cfobject tag without warning. I have an application that invokes a component using cfobject and stores it in the SESSION scope. How can I use cfinvoke to accomplish the code that is attached? Or can I? Thanks!!! Code attached:

remove last newline character

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 13:40:56 GMT

How can I remove the newline character only from the very end of a string? (Note there are several newline characters within the string). Thanks!

cfdocument footer challenge

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 16:20:55 GMT

I have a pdf generated dynamically using cfdocument. Sometimes the content is a single page. Sometimes it may be several pages. There is a summary box that needs to be at the bottom of the first page only. I'd like to be able to just use the footer of cfdocument to accomplish this, but I don't think that's going to work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance!

Very annoying IE problem

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 30 May 2006 12:05:37 GMT

I have an application that is almost entirely rich forms. Now that IE requires users to "click to activate the control" this whole application is a little annoying to navigate. I read this article for dealing with the problem with flash content: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html, but it does not address rich forms / cfgrid / etc. If you know how to make it where users don't have to click the cfforms before using them PLEASE help me out! Thanks!
