cfmenuitems no longer work after coldfusion.navigate

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 22:26:34 GMT

There are times when you want to make slight changes to menus based on what a user does. It would be nice to simply "refresh" the menu (likely a cfdiv containing a cfmenu) using ColdFusion.navigate(..). However, if your menu contains cfmenuitems, they no longer appear ("drop down") after performing the navigate. If this is the intended behavior I think it is a major limitation. (CF9 and CF8)

code for my_test.cfm:

</cfmenuitem>

</cfmenu>

</cfdiv>

Is there a way to restart directory watcher interface from javascript?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 05 May 2011 17:04:27 GMT

Running the directory watcher gateway interface under CF8, watching a network directory, the connection to the remote server is occasionally lost, causing the interface to "fail". Is it possible to code javascript or cf to test the status of the interface and restart it? I see the start(), stop(), restart() and status() methods but I'm not sure (need an example) how they might be used.

Ajax.submitform broken in Safari?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 16 May 2008 16:59:38 GMT

I receive an "element ... undefined in form... " error when using ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm on a safari browser. This same code works just fine on IE. Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks

cf8 dynamic cftree image issue

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 20:10:34 GMT

When using a bind to generate cftreeitem's and specifying img and imgopen hrefs, the specified images appear in addition to the adobe images rather than replacing them. Is this the proper behavior?

Extracting data from a pdf form.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 16:04:43 GMT

It appears that in order to extract data from a pdf form using source="#PDF.content#" the form would have to contain a button defined to submit as a PDF, requiring the client to have Adobe Acrobat ($) rather than Reader (free). To get around this you can submit the form with an http submit button and extract data using form.fieldnames but doing so prevents you from being able to dynamically determine the structure of the form. Has anyone figured out a way around this?

cfajaxproxy component refresh issue

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 20:41:11 GMT

I have several <cfselect>'s on a page, each of which are bound to cfc's returning the results of a query. When a selection is made on any one the the <cfselects> I want to repopulate the other <cfselects> using something like:

<cfajaxproxy bind="cfc:documents.getOwners(arg_documentids={docform:templates@none},arg_tdates={docfor m:tdates@none},arg_hrns={docform:homes@click})" />

(ie. clicking on the homes cfselect should repopulate the owners and dates <cfselects>. Debugging shows that the cfc's bound to the <cfselects> all run and return the correct results but the <cfselects> are never repopulated. Why? I thought binding the results of a query to a component would automatically refresh the component each time it is run.)

The cf 8 documentation states: "A cfajaxproxy tag with a bind attribute does not refresh any control that is not specified in the bind expression." and I thought that is what I was doing by referencing each of the cfselects@none in the cfajaxproxy statement.

I'm not sure what else to do to get the <cfselect>'s to refresh. Any thoughts?

unable to submit a pdf form

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 16:50:25 GMT

I create an XML string by parsing a URL sent to my cfm page and populate a pdf form created in LiveCycle Designer 8 with that XML. A javascript running in the pdf modifies a data connection query with information from the XML and fills out some of the form fields. The user fills out the remaining form fields and clicks a submit button which sends the form back to the cfm page where the additional form fields are parsed into xml which is saved in a database and can be used to repopulate the form the next time it is requested. Works great, but ...

I have this running on two identical development machines (using the built in web server) and on one of the machines the form appears with the message "You cannot save data typed into this form", the script does not appear to run correctly, and the submit button does not submit the form. Are there additional settings in LiveCycle/Acrobat 8 or in the Adobe Reader that we need to know about? Our audience will not have Acrobat installed (Adobe Reader only). This is stopping us from moving to CF8

unable to submit a pdf form

pdfform does not return fieldnames

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 22:09:34 GMT

I created a form in livecycle designer that accepts URL values from the calling cf8 page and uses those values in the sql of a data connection (script) to populate fields on the form. That works great and gives you a very dynamic form capability. However, when the form is returned to the cf8 page, the form fields that are bound to the data connection do not return their actual field names (as var formFields) but rather return an an array of structures based on the query (ie. QueryName.ArrayElement.QueryColumn eg. myQuery.1.phoneNumber). This behavior makes it very difficult to save the submitted form as XML (by parsing the formFields) and repopulate the form with that XML should the user want to view/change the information. Is there a way to get the form to submit actual fieldnames? (Perhaps this is a Livecycle designer or Acrobat question but when you mention ColdFusion on those forums the users seem to stay away .)

Thanks

client variables broken under cf8?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 20:56:55 GMT

With the move to cf8 our application breaks (after successful runs under mx7.02 and the first scorpio beta) when client variables are "lost" in the following scenario:

application.cfm --> <cfparam name="client.started" default="no">
<cfif client.started eq "no">
... initialize additional client variables, test for login form fields and test for a valid login ...
<cfif loginvalid eq "yes">
<cfset client.started = "yes">
<cflocation url="firstpage.cfm#">
... at this point client.started is no longer defined and the app. redisplays the login page...

As I can't find any other posts on this issue, and it was working correctly until I installed the last Scorpio beta, and
most recently installed cf8 (still broken), is it possible that there was a problem with the install, and if so, how can I tell?
