  • Creating An Infinite Scroll Effect With jQuery And ColdFusion

    Posted on Jan 4, 2010 at 11:03 AM

    We've had this on our site for a while now as well. You'll find that when you start testing with other browsers and more complicated content, the problem isn't as simple as you'd imagine. Once you get variable height list items, dynamic content (images, etc) and suchlike, height calculations beco... read more »

  • Building Single-Page Applications Using jQuery And ColdFusion With Ben Nadel (Video Presentation)

    Posted on Oct 15, 2009 at 9:07 AM

    @Ben I think you're missing the point. You can certainly expect *users* to have JS turned on. Spiders (or robots, or crawlers, or whatever you want to call them), however, cannot be expected to parse JS. The GoogleBot is such a spider. If your site doesn't work at all without having J... read more »

  • Building Single-Page Applications Using jQuery And ColdFusion With Ben Nadel (Video Presentation)

    Posted on Oct 12, 2009 at 4:48 AM

    Good demo but there's one major problem with the AwesomeContacts application; it doesn't work at all without JavaScript turned on. This won't be a problem for the vast majority of users but will cause issues for spiders; especially GoogleBot. Spiders don't use JavaScript so Google won't be... read more »

  • Learning ColdFusion 8: CFThread Part II - Parallel Threads

    Posted on Aug 24, 2009 at 8:49 AM

    @Peter, I can't remember what we used for activeHandlerThreads and minHandlerThreads; the sysadmins deal with all this sort of stuff but I figured as it gave us such a performance gain I'd post it here. I know we started at around 1000 for each but it's no doubt been refined since we first... read more »

  • Adobe Launches ColdFusion 9 And Bolt Public Betas

    Posted on Jul 13, 2009 at 8:48 AM

    I'm not too fussed about CF9. There don't seem to be many new features I'm after, other than the ability to write an entire CFC using cfscript. I've looked through the 'Whats new' pages and there just isn't anything game-changing from what I can see. The one thing I was hoping for was the ability... read more »

  • Learning ColdFusion 8: CFThread Part II - Parallel Threads

    Posted on Jun 25, 2009 at 11:09 AM

    A quick note for anyone using cfthread on servers with high load running code which creates a large number of threads on multi-core processors... Even if you increase the 'Maximum number of threads available for cfthread' in CF Administrator, your app may be throttled by JRun. If you're get... read more »

  • Exploring Mixins And ColdFusion Components

    Posted on Apr 2, 2009 at 6:03 AM

    Good post. Sean Corfield posted about mixins a while ago and there's some interesting banter in the comments here: http://corfield.org/blog/index.cfm/do/blog.entry/entry/Mixins I have to say I think... read more »

  • What Chinese Food Has Taught Me About Life

    Posted on Mar 26, 2009 at 3:12 PM

    @Ben "But, I think we all know what really happens - you suck it up, go the month, then pay for the product and start using. And, why do you/we do this? Because the product is still worth what we thought it was going to be worth before we commissioned it. If it wasn't we wouldn't buy it."read more »

  • What Chinese Food Has Taught Me About Life

    Posted on Mar 26, 2009 at 5:49 AM

    You could have bought raw chicken and cooked it yourself but you didn't, either because you can't, or you can't be bothered. Hence you are paying for the convenience of them cooking the chicken as well as the chicken itself. I'd not have paid. Period. I've had several food deliveries take a... read more »

  • How Do I Call Methods On ColdFusion Components In Java

    Posted on Mar 15, 2009 at 8:37 AM

    Eric, For the most part, CFCProxy does indeed need to be running in ColdFusion's JVM. I'd use web services in your case. Very, very easy to set up from your CF code and easy to call, too. George.... read more »

  • How Do I Call Methods On ColdFusion Components In Java

    Posted on Mar 9, 2009 at 7:06 AM

    Accidentally posted before finishing! I'll clean the code up a little this week and email it over to you so you can see how to call CFC methods from Java on an existing CFC from inside a request.... read more »

  • How Do I Call Methods On ColdFusion Components In Java

    Posted on Mar 9, 2009 at 7:03 AM

    Sorry for the late reply... didn't get an email when you posted a response and only just came back to check. Yes, I managed to call functions inside a CFC from Java. That part is (relatively) straight-forward. I did it a different way to how it's described here, but Ben Forta released some... read more »

  • How Do I Call Methods On ColdFusion Components In Java

    Posted on Mar 5, 2009 at 2:11 PM

    Ben Did you figure this out in the end? I spent a fair bit of time a while ago calling methods on CFCs from Java in order to write a SAX parser I could use in ColdFusion. That was fairly straight-forward as everything was done in the same request to a CFM. I've now hit a dead-end when... read more »

  • Making My ColdFusion Tags More Consistent

    Posted on Feb 13, 2009 at 12:30 PM

    Incoming rant... Does it really matter? I've never worked at a company where they have even remotely rigid code conventions and I can't imagine ever doing so. Does it really make a difference if I don't always put attributes in the same order for the same tag? T... read more »

  • Finding The Distance Between Latitude / Longitude Locations In ColdFusion

    Posted on Feb 9, 2009 at 12:14 PM

    "As I have no working knowledge of how to do this, I did what everyone else does - I Googled for an answer." Everyone, that is, except the person who asked you "to write up a demo on finding all of the zip codes in the local proximity to a given zip code" in the first place. I appreciate i... read more »

  • A Serious CFThread Bug In ColdFusion?

  • Project HUGE: My Recent Experience With Light Cardio Fitness

    Posted on Dec 27, 2008 at 6:41 AM

    Jason makes a good point. Also, unless you actually took those photographs yourself, you really shouldn't go putting your logo on them. As a (non professional but semi-serious amateur) photographer, if I saw photos I'd taken on someone elses site with their logo on them and no credit to me,... read more »
