11 Oct 09:31 Securing your schedule tasks is probably the last thing on your mind when you launch an application, but it’s something that you might want to consider. Here is something that I’m running into. I’ve been moving several clients off their shared hosting plans to our VPS. Now during the time they were on the shared hosting [... 7 Oct 05:09 Wouldn’t it be great if Adobe could fix some of the annoying outstanding bugs in the next hotfix that we as a community really need. What would you like them to fix? For me I really want them to fix the new array and structure syntax. I personally think it’s great that you can create an [... 25 Sep 21:11 UPDATE: Thanks to Ben Nadel for pointing out the metadata project at RIAForge. Steve, this should help you in your quest. I just had a problem where a user was searching our document library for our official letterhead document and the document wasn’t coming up. Basically all they were doing is entering “letterhead” into the search. My [... 19 Sep 03:13 Yeah, that didn’t go over to well, however, I expected that. I knew I was going to get burned at the stake the second the post went live. I’ve been avoiding reading or replying back to any of the comments until now. Mainly because I didn’t want to get into a pissing contest with anyone [... 15 Sep 07:46 Just a quick note. When you sign up for a HostMySite VPS plan, for some odd reason the Verity Search Service isn’t installed by default. To install the service, simply open Windows Explorer and browse to your C:\ColdFusion8\verity directory. Once there double click the verity-install.bat file and away you go. You don’t have to waste your time [... 14 Sep 23:15 Maybe I just didn’t have the balls to be the first to say it. Derek’s post has inspired me and at risk of being flamed and hated (again), I want to go on record with my opinion. Little background. About 3 months ago I got a side gig to create a web site for my [... 11 Sep 01:10 Many people have tried and few have succeeded using CFDOCUMENT to print their HTML. For those that don’t know, here is how I’ve tamed the beast numerous times. Using these techniques you should be able to get CFDOCUMENT to print your HTML perfectly. 1) Your page must be valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Once you have created your [... 29 Aug 11:43 Now before you go a lam blast me for the title…. read on. In the web development community there is this big debate (fight) going on about the right way to develop and display forms on a web site. Basically as I can see it there are 3 ways to do it: Tables - We’re all guilty of [... 22 Aug 09:25 NOW THIS PISSES ME OFF! As reported earlier, I’m running into crap left and right since HostMySite decided that all shared hosting plans would be upgraded to CF8 (there’s a reason why you wait a while before ungrading to the latest release). The calls just don’t stop and after my last bug report I’ve decided the [... 19 Aug 01:32 UPDATE: I submitted a bug report to Adobe this evening. I’m finding little things since HostMySite.com upgraded their shared servers to CF8. One of the things I’ve come across is that some code that worked in CF7 no longer works in CF8. Take the code below: <!— call the service factory object —> <cfobject action=”create” type=”java” class=”coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory” name=”Local.ServiceFactory” [... |
