• Parsing AngularJS Request Data On The Server Using ColdFusion

  Posted on Nov 7, 2014 at 5:53 PM

  This post saved me. A few days back I couldn't get $http.post() to pass anything to the form scope so I reverted back to a jQuery Ajax call. Today I decided to give $http.post() another whirl. No matter what I couldn't get the form scope to receive any data. I did notice, however, this odd binary va... read more »

• IsValid() Accepts Emails With Leading And Trailing Whitespace In ColdFusion

  Posted on Mar 18, 2014 at 9:46 AM

  After seeing how many false positives get through IsValid I now only use it with "regex" as the first parameter. It goes without saying that if I'm too lazy to write the pattern myself I just Google it! isValid"regex", ARGUMENTS.value, "^[0-9]+$"); //integer isVa... read more »

• Using ColdFusion Structures To Remove Duplicate List Values

  Posted on Oct 1, 2013 at 6:03 PM

  @Nina, I'm wondering if something like this would work. What do you think? If this is too inefficient maybe there's a way of doing a UNION on the queries and a GROUP BY on top of that UNION. <cfscript> var duplicateStruct = {}; var key = "";   // Loop through outer array for... read more »

• Using ColdFusion Structures To Remove Duplicate List Values

  Posted on Oct 1, 2013 at 2:44 PM

  @Nina, That's certainly an interesting one to solve. Does your 2D array have a consistent width for each row? What happens to the duplicate values? Do you set the cells to null?... read more »

• Referencing ColdFusion Query Columns In A Loop Using Both Array And Dot Notation

  Posted on Jun 5, 2013 at 11:13 AM

  You do a really good job of pointing out the various approaches to looping over queries. I think I first learned about array notation when I was looking at a few examples on CFLib.org. This was back on CF 5! I'm currently working on an app that's on CF 9 with no plans of upgrading to CF 10. ... read more »

• Extending The Application.cfc ColdFusion Framework Component With A Relative-Path Proxy

  Posted on Sep 25, 2012 at 2:25 PM

  This post came in real handy when I had to set up a sandbox folder. Within the sandbox I needed the onApplicationStart method to load all the singletons, but I needed to override onRequestStart and onRequestEnd since they both include the site layout. Having a RootProxy.cfc allows me to extend the r... read more »

• ColdFusion CFQueryParam List Attribute Is Sweeet!

  Posted on Jul 27, 2010 at 2:43 PM

  @Ron Glad I could be of assistance. CFQUERYPARAM really is a great one to have, even if it does get a bit tedious to write out multiple times. :)... read more »

• ColdFusion CFQueryParam List Attribute Is Sweeet!

  Posted on Jul 27, 2010 at 10:18 AM

  @Ron If I'm understanding your question correctly, it sounds like you are literally storing the code "<cfqueryparam..." inside a string and then outputting that string inside <cfquery>? If so, the tag doesn't work that way. CFQUERYPARAM is executed at runtime, so in order for it to work it ... read more »

• Mastering The ColdFusion Application Framework

  Posted on Jun 1, 2010 at 10:17 AM

  @Ben I think a good compromise for TIOBE would be to bundle all the CFML engines (ColdFusion, Railo, OpenBD) into one "CFML" label, but I highly doubt that's ever going to happen. I think the only group with the official size of the CF developer community is Adobe. The way I see it, as long as you ... read more »

• Mastering The ColdFusion Application Framework

  Posted on Jun 1, 2010 at 9:26 AM

  Great topic. I just find it a bit strange that the "framework" aspect of ColdFusion is the reason why it's not included on the TIOBE index. http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html They consider it more of a framework than a language.... read more »

• ColdFusion CFPOP - My First Look

  Posted on Apr 7, 2010 at 10:41 AM

  @Ben I've yet to test it myself, but I'm under the impression is only for bounce backs. Is that what you were trying it out for? I don't come back into work until Friday, but I can toy around with it more then. I would probably do this: send an email from account A to account B with a failto of acco... read more »

• ColdFusion CFPOP - My First Look

  Posted on Mar 19, 2010 at 4:24 PM

  @Ben Thanks for the follow up! The root of the problem had to do with being able to trace bounced emails to specific records in a DB table. Let's say you run an email campaign and you get 1,000 bounce backs. For each bounce back, you would a) not want the sender to receive the bounce back and b) b... read more »
