HTML to CFML

When I change the webpage filename from filename.html to
filename.cfm the webpage loses its format/styling. WTF!
Anyone have a solution or know why this is happening?

Display your CFM page and do a View Source. Upload this page
to the Web and go to
http://www.netmechanic.com/products/HTML_Toolbox_FreeSample.shtml.
Enter the URL of the page into the form provided, supply your
e-mail address and click "Test Now". The result will show you, in
agonizing detail, what's wrong with your HTML. This should point
you to a solution to the problem.
An alternative is
http://validator.w3.org/,
where you can get similar results. Or if you want to download a
HTML checker, try
http://sourceforge.net/projects/htmlchecker.
If all that fails, save your "good" HTML and your "bad"
CF-generated HTML as two separate files and use something like
Beyond Compare (
http://www.scootersoftware.com/)
to find the differences.

CMS System to create a page on the server

Hi all,
I am looking for a way for ColdFusion to create and save an
html (or cfml) page generated by a user entering text into a form
field on an html template page and submitting the text.
I am looking to build an email system to allow the client to
create email mailshots and to provide a link to an online html page
if the email does not display correctly.
I have built the aspect of it whereby the user can send the
email, I just need the content of that email to be saved as an html
page with todays date as the filename on the server.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

2 cf tags will help you:

Coldfusion tags within query output

I have a simple query to a SQL database that returns a record
set. Within the record set is a field that contains HTML and CFML.
When I display the content it reads the CF tags literally. Is there
any way to get the CF tags to be processed when it is returned in
the query output? See example below.
------------------ CODE ON PAGE
<CFQUERY name="getdata" datasource="DSN">
select ID, HTMLFIELD
from TABLENAME
where ID = '1'
</CFQUERY>
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="getdata">
#getdata.HTMLFIELD#
</CFOUTPUT>
-----------------------VALUE OF "HTMLFIELD"
VARIABLE--------------------------------
<CFSET todaysdate = #DateFormat(Now(), "mm/dd/yyyy")#>
<p>Today is #variables.todaysdate#</p>
------------------------WHAT IS DISPLAYED IN THE
BROWSER----------------
Today is #variables.todaysdate#
-----------------------WHAT should BE DISPLAYED IN THE
BROWSER------------

Pete is right, very risky.
I've done a similar feature for a site I wrote that allowed
users to edit pages on the fly, only I pre-selected functions that
could be used and created wrappers for them. Then the users would
insert something like $now()$ in the WYSIWYG. Then when the page
was requested I would pass the data containing HTML and psuedo-CFML
through parse routine which would render the end results in a
controlled manner.
I would really recommend this route as you will have much
more controll over the types of scripts that can be run. It is also
easy to make buttons that insert the code for them.

Printing a PDF (CFMX6)

I'm working on an app that prints forms and was wondering if
there was a way to print a PDF that was stored on CF webserver to a
users default printer or printer of their choice ??
I'm just trying to explore is there a simpler way than
lauching the PDF in a broswer window and prompting the user to hit
the print icon in the PDF Reader toolbar. Is there a way to script
the generation of the print command ?? Or am I barking up the wrong
tree??
Cheers

I wonder whether it is possible to do that through the usual
scripting. Coldfusion ignores all HTML and CFML outside the
<cfdocument format="pdf"> </cfdocument> tag pair. But
that is precisely where we would want to put the code that
instructs the browser to print.
To illustrate, the following (browser-independent?) code will
call up the printing interface. However, it wont anymore when you
activate the cfdocument tag.

Flash and CF variables

Hello everyone. I am pulling an xml file into a flash file
but I want to take it a step further and make the path to the xml
file dynamic. Can I do that with cfml and flash? I want to say
slides_xml.load("#current_user#_comments.xml");
Can I do that?

Hi,
You're not rambling at all. Sorry if my previous post was not
altogether clear. I believe I understand what you are trying to do
and FlashVars is your answer.
In your ActionScript, you would do this:
// first setup the dynamically generated user
var thisUser:String = user;
var thisUserXML:String = "
http://www.mysite.com/slideshow/"
+ thisUser + "_slides.xml";
// now, call/load your XML document
slides_xml = new XML();
slides_xml.onLoad = startSlideShow;
slides_xml.load(thisUserXML);
slides_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
In your HTML/CFML page, you need to send the required user
information to the Flash file. This is where FlashVars comes in
handy.
Naturally, I do not know how you determine what "user" is on
the site so that you can show the respective slides but, for now,
I'll pretend it comes from a cookie.

<cfparam name="user" default="craig" type="string"/>
<cfif IsDefined("cookie.user")>
<cfset user = Trim(cookie.user)/>
</cfif>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Slideshow</title>
</head>
<body>

<cfoutput>
<object>
<param name="FlashVars" value="thisUser=#user#"/>
<embed flashvars="thisUser=#user#"/>
</object>
</cfoutput>
</body>
</html>
The CFML/HTML page passes in a user value (in this example,
the string craig) to the SWF file. The ActionScript statements at
the top of my reply would first set the string variable thisUser to
have a value of "craig". Then, we build the custom XML path
(thisUserXML), which would be
http://www.mysite.com/slideshow/craig_slides.xml.
Finally, the ActionScript code would load the data from this
custom URL and call your startSlideShow function when complete.
Hope this helps,
Craig

Want to get community help before uninstalling CF11 Beta

OK, so, I know it's Beta, and there just may be a bug to this, but ever since I installed it, no matter whether I was running HTML or CFML without an application.cfc (and even with one where my application/session timeouts were set to 2 hours), I have this issue where if I do not perform any activity for about 5 minutes, the next time I reload the page, I have to wait what seems like the initial 10+ seconds you do the first time you fire off making a request to the CF server when you boot the PC (ie, it acts as if the service is stopped). My services are currently:
ColdFusion Splendor Beta .NET Service (Stopped / Manual)
ColdFusion Splendor Beta Add-on Service (Stopped / Manual)
ColdFusion Splendor Beta Application Server (Started / Automatic)
ColdFusion Splendor Beta ODBC Agent (Stopped / Automatic)
ColdFusion Splendor BEta ODBC Server (Stopped / Automatic)
If anyone has some suggestions, I'm glad to try them out. I've been going over a refresher course on jQuery, and reading some, writing code, and refreshing to a 10+ second wait has finally put me over the edge with impatience. If I cannot find a resolve for this, I'm just going to uninstall ACF and probably stick with a commitment to Railo.
My appreciation to any who assist.

Hi Aegis,
Thank you for testing CF11 beta. We appreciate your participation. I checked with CF11, Win 2K8 R2 4GB RAM, Xeon processor. cfm pages as well as html pages, works fine. I refreshed them after an hour or so, and they performed as expected.
Is there any specific code you have, that exhibits the slowness. I am not sure about any other reasons at present.

Anit Kumar

$25 Reward - Calling a CFC via Remote Object or Web Service without making the result public

I am just getting into Flex 2, so please forgive me for my
newbe vocab.
Here is how my applications have worked in the past, i.e.
ColdFusion:
<cfscript>
//Create an instance of component
order = CreateObject( 'component', 'PEK.Catalog.Order' );
//Call methd
theOrder = order.getOrder(1234);
</cfscript>
Display the order via HTML and CFML.
getOrder() returns a query and 1234 is a sample orderID. The
most important part of the solution I am looking for is that the it
must not expose my getOrder() as a public web service. I am able to
run the application with WS by making the mothod URL visible and
remote, but this is no way near the security I would like to have.
Here is my folder structure where components folder has been maped
to CF.
Application
|__extentions
| ... |__components
| ... ... |__PEK
|__wwwroot
I guest there should be a way to call CFC with the thing
remote object that I have no idea how to set up. So please what
would be a solution to my security issues.
Thank you in advance!

Click
Here for Link to Article
I guess this article answers part of the question. It is very
important to note that if the CFC is sitting on the same server as
the CFC the component methods could be public and not remote, thus
making it alot more secure.

CFDOCUMENT Orientation

I need to develop a pdf which starts in portrait and changes
to landscape for some pages and comes back to portrait. I thought I
could use cfdocumentsection but, i was wrong. Please advice if
anybody achieved this

This should work for you with some tweaking of course:


<cfparam name="DocumentOrientation" default="portrait">

<cfset Variables.AllowableOrientations =
"portrait,landscape">

<cfif NOT ListFindNoCase(Variables.AllowableOrientations,
DocumentOrientation)>
<p>Document orientation:
<cfoutput>#DocumentOrientation#</cfoutput> is not a
valid choice.</p>
<cfabort>
</cfif>

<cfdocument format="PDF"
orientation="#DocumentOrientation#">

HTML formatter in cfml-files

Hi everybody,
How is HTML formatting managed in cfml-files. Currently on formatting <h*>-Tags got a newline and I would prefer the tag to stay on one line without break.
greets

I'd like to follow up on that
If I write the following line in CFB2
   <h2>Slides</h2>
and then press <ctrl>-<shift>-F to format the code, I get
   <h2>
       Slides
   </h2>
Now I would like to teach CFB2 to keep
   <h2>Slides</h2>
How do I do that ?
I have been playing around a lot with the Formatters in the Preferences. There it works - but not in real editor life :-(

Apache ColdFusion 10 Process .HTML Files Containing CFML

I am on Mac Mountain Lion, but that shouldn't make a difference.
This is for a clients website, so I need to get this working ASAP.
Any advice on how to get CF 10 working with this setup, only serving .html files that contain CFML?
So far I have tried:
1. Adding /*.html = cfusion and /*.htm = cfusion to my uriworkermap_cfusion.properties file.
2. Adding .htm and .html to the AddHandler jakarta-servlet .cfm .cfml .cfc .cfr .cfswf line in my apache conf file.
.cfm files and CF Admin render correctly, but when I call a .html file that contains CFML I get a Tomcat error saying the requested resource is not available.
Thanks for any advice on this, I am out of ideas.
I've had no trouble getting this to work on Windows, IIS and CF10.

I am on a different system, but my guess is that:
1) the properties file should contain the lines
/*.cfm = cfusion
/*.html = cfusion
/*.htm = cfusion
2) you should save the file as uriworkermap.properties;
3) The intention now is to edit system file /WEB-INF/web.xml, by adding html and htm mappings to it. First and foremost, back-up the file, just in case.
Open the web.xml file in a text editor. Locate the elements whose IDs are of the form "coldfusion_mapping_x", where x is a number in the set {0,1,2,...}. Locate the highest such number. Let's call it X. The ID of a new ColdFusion mapping will therefore begin with X+1.
Now, edit the web.xml file by adding the following 2 new mappings immediately after mapping number X (replacing X with the actual value!):
<servlet-mapping id="coldfusion_mapping_X+1">
    <servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.html/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping id="coldfusion_mapping_X+2">
    <servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.htm/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
To illustrate, on my system the highest number in the IDs of the form "coldfusion_mapping_x" is 15. So, for me, X is 15. Therefore, if I followed the above instructions, I would have to add the following 2 mappings immediately after mapping number 15:
<servlet-mapping id="coldfusion_mapping_16">
    <servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.html/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping id="coldfusion_mapping_17">
    <servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.htm/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Save the edited web.xml file.
4) Restart ColdFusion.

CFML/HTML and flash

Hello,
Ok, here’s what’s going on - I have a CFML Tag
that displays a number from my Database. I want to get flash to be
able to read this number using embedded HTML. However, I can't find
a tutorial in Google I may be searching for the wrong thing.
Anybody know a tutorial and or code that could help me?
Many Thanks, Look forward to a response.

Set a CF variable, then pass it to your Flash movie using
either the Flashvars param (or a URL variable when calling the SWF)
in the HTML object/embed tags. Here's the LiveDocs on using
FlashVars:

Hope that helps!

CF10 CFML tag, functions and attributes autofill in Dreamweaver CS5.5

We have Coldfusion 10 and Dreamweaver CS5.5 in my company. We want to be able to see all the CF10 CFML functions, tags and attributes in the autofill when writing code. I have found an Adobe link to a download for them but it doesn't say what version of Dreamweaver is required for it to work. Can someone please tell me? Will it work with CS5.5?
(This window won't let me paste in the link I have but it's in the Coldfusion Support Center Downloads | Coldfusion 10 Devleoper Tools | Adobe Coldfusion 10 Extensions for Dreamweaver. Also note that we do have CS5.5 in my company but I don't have an install available for me to test so I'm hoping it will be easier to get an answer to this question here rather than obtain one....thanks)

CFML in CSS

I am trying to add a rotating image CF tag in a CSS
element... sort of something like the following:
<style type="text/css">
div#container {
background-color : #fff;
background-image : url(<cf_coop_banner>);
background-attachment:scroll;
background-repeat : repeat-y; }
</style>
<div id="container">
</div>
After i run the cfm file and view the source I get the
following:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>WorrySome.com</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />
<style type="text/css">
div#container {
background-color : #fff;
background-image : url(
The tag is blowing up the CSS, I know the tag works OK in my
other pages, this is the first time I am trying to work with it in
CSS.
I guess the question is can I us CFML in this manner?
Any ideas?

Looks like I found out the answer is yes, you can CFML in a
CSS element.
My problem is the CFTag that I am using.

Add buttons to html, css, js, cf tabs

Is there a way of controlling which "quick" buttons ( or whatever they're called ) are displayed on the little tabs just above the text editing area. For example, the cfml tab has a button for cf comments, but the html tab does not for html comments. There are several I would like to add to both cfml and the html tab list but cannot figure out where to go to add them, let alone know what they're called.
Thanks,
Doug

Muse will show the contents which are added to assets , so in order to show the files , we will need to add them to our site or in any page of the site.
If you have used external links and the files are hosted with live site, then using the library will pull up the data from external and will show up on page so we don't have to manually add anything here.
We can add files to Library but on export as xml and opening on another machine with Muse will not show up the files as site does not includes those assets.
So as you are using external links , they will work fine without adding any data manually or you can create a page and upload all the assets which are used in file on that page , then user can download the assets from page link and then use in .mulib file in Muse.
I hope it clears the doubt
Thanks,
Sanjit
