Blogcfc 5.9.1.001 upgrade
2008-08-17 20:07:00 Spent the last hour upgrading to BlogCFC 5.9.1.001 from 5.9. This is my first upgrade since switching over to BlogCFC back in October 2007. The upgrade went pretty smooth, I did have to make some SQL changes but as always the documentation was well done. The really benefit I wanted was the one click kill comment in email that was introduced in 5.9.1. If you do not know about this it allows you to click the spam comments with a link in the admin email saving you from needing to login.

Group Advertising for ColdFusion Sites
2008-04-24 15:29:00 A few of us have started using a new Advertising service called AdRoll.com What Adroll does is two fold. 1) you can place advertising slots for sale, such as the top right spot on my site. IF that spot isn't purchased through adRoll for your minimum price range it automatically shows other adcode that you provide, such as google AdSense. For example right now I have adsense showing.

ColdFusion: The What and HowTo
2008-04-11 16:45:00 Requiring lots of data lookupSome of business experience has been with a company that prints thousands of invoices a day. Lots of paper to store. This company also payed out lots of invoice for products to sale and supplies need to sell the products. This means on a daily basis that business create tons of items they need access to without looking through a lot of paper files. I can remember with the product came out, it was designed to put lots of scanned documents at your finger tips via computer database look up, I am talking about ColdFusion. It has come along way since I first saw it. ColdFusion now become a application server with software development framework used for the development of computer software and dynamic web sites in particular. What was and still is a great tool for reducing paper storage and a quick interface for lookup has migrated it self to a database tool for business websites. Just like everything else, all software tools are ...
Coldfusion 8.0.1
2008-04-05 17:32:00 Adobe released Coldfusion 8.0.1. I am a little late on this one as I was flying back from Chicago on the day it was released and missed it. I just updated my box and it seems to be working great. If you are going to run this update make sure you get the new extensions for Dreamweaver or Eclipse, as they have introduced a lot of new tag attributes, like an alt attribute for cfimage.
coldfusion 8.1 update note
2008-04-04 16:49:00 For reasons I no longer remember, I put my cfide folder in a non default place when installing CF8 on a few of my servers. Not a big deal really. I upgraded to CF 8.1 today and everything went quite well, however I noticed that the installer didn't see my cfide path, and instead prompted me to use the default one. So if you are updating to CF8.1 and don't have it in the usual area, don't expect the installer to know that. Luckily the installer does prompt you to confirm the path, so its easy to adjust.

Installed the latest SequeLink on the coldfusion server. Setup a System DNS and pointed to it in the coldfusion admin.

Previous and Next in Coldfusion
2007-12-27 04:15:00 I have done this before when the data was clean and when I only needed to worry about one ID by just adding or subtracting one from the ID value. On my photo album pages I wanted to create a way to view my photos without lytebox. I have 2 IDs photo album and photo. Also my data is not the cleanest for example in my Denver photos I do not have a photo 1. I came up with a solution, not the most elegant I will admit. My work around for this problem includes looping the query to set the row number to a variable than instead of displaying against the photo ID I display against the row number. To create the next and previous I just add or subtract 1 from the row number. I also had to put a cfif to check to make sure my previous row variable was not -1. The code is below. You can see it in action here. ... ... ...

What is Coldfusion hosting
2007-12-12 12:11:00 by Mer Amer ColdFusion hosting is a server-side scripting language which is similar to PHP or ASP. A product of Macromedia, it is considered as a complete web application server for not only basic hosting, but extends to developing and delivering scaleable e-commerce applications especially for business websites.
Calling all ColdFusion Developers in Seacoast of New Hampshire
2007-12-11 20:24:00 At flex camp (which was great) last Friday I ran into a few people who live in the Seacoast of New Hampshire (or on the border in Main and Massachusetts) and do ColdFusion development. It is always nice to meet new CF people and it surprised me that there were so many I hadn't known about right here in my back yard. If I had been thinking I would have gotten your business cards so we could continue to network later. So this is a quick call to all you CF'ers. How many of you are out there and in the Seacoast area? Would it make sense to try to organize a CF meet 'n drink some night to all get together say hi and so forth? I am all about organizing stuff like that if enough people would be interested. [More]

Using CFIMAGE to create a watermark
2007-11-21 16:24:00 Continuing my week off playing around with cfimage, I am thinking this is fast becoming my favorite new feature in Coldfusion 8. This morning I was thinking it would be cool if Coldfuion could watermark images for me. After about 30mins playing around I came up with this. First 2 lines I basically give both images a name. The reason the watermark is a png is I want to have the ability to use alpha channels. Next line I paste the watermark onto the image at 0x and 0y. I cheated and created the images the same size, but you could easily read the image info get the size then calculate where you want the watermark to be. The last line writes the image to the browser in the format of a jpeg. You can check it out in action at my CFwatermark page.

To set up a datasource you must call tech support and request it. They respond that it will take 1 to 3 business days to set up the data source. [More]

Now that I have been running it a month I am amazed at how many visits my individual post get. I run google analytics on my site but I never drilled down to the number of visitors per post.

Blog roll for BlogCFC
2007-10-18 22:20:00 I have been playing around with Ray Camden's BlogCFC for the past few weeks. I am planning on moving over from BlogCFM. One think that I really wanted with my new blog was the ability to easily update links in my blog roll. BlogCFC did not have this out the box, but I came up with a very easy whay of doing this. Using BlogCFC's Textblocks feature I created a textblok called "blog roll". Next I created a pod called blogroll.cfm and called my blog roll text block using SELECT BODY FROM dbo.tblblogtextblocks WHERE LABEL = 'Blog Roll' #QBlogroll.body# Now all I have to do is update the links in my blog roll textblock, refresh blog cache and my blog roll is updated.

Using KTML with ColdFusion 8
2007-08-02 17:49:00 In testing our CMS with CF8 I have only found one small issue. With the editor we licensed of course. KTML works well with CF8 except for some image and file browsing. Turns out there is an easy code fix for this however. You will see an error saying something along the lines of Cannot open Class plugins.modules.image.service.k-tml4_mspl_image. The debugging errors are not accurate as it is a general error if anything goes wrong when calling a function in KTML. After a little poking around I see that there is an error calling one of the functions. getfileinfo Turns out CF8 also has a function named getfileinfo and thus the error on CF8 and not CF6 or 7.
