• Platform vs. Template: Branching Logic, Application Architecture, And Request Optimization

  Posted on Oct 31, 2010 at 7:43 AM

  Great article! The file placement/naming as you said is very framework specific. So there is no standard way to do this. Although in the past I did something similar with js/img/css files that where hosted on CDN's: cdn1.somedomain.com/ web /w/1.0/img/ /w/1.0/js/ /w/1.0/css/ mobile /m/1.0/... read more »

• ColdFusion's Application.cfc Session Events Are Not Session-Specific

  Posted on Feb 18, 2010 at 11:21 AM

  Very nice detective work on this! It makes perfect sense why some of my code don't work sometimes that rely on the app.cfc events/functions... This should be better documented by Adobe. Back to the drawing board and rethink my app mechanism.... read more »

You might want to check if a user registration which states he/she is from the UK also matches the IP addresses allocated for the UK... If you store the IP as a varchar, you need to search by text and it's hard (CPU/Memor... read more »

• ColdFusion CFFTP Timeout Value Cannot Be Dynamic

  Posted on Jan 12, 2010 at 5:38 AM

  A little late, but this worked for other tags that gave the dynamic error... I haven't tried it the cfftp timeout yet, but I think #int(60 * 5)# should work just fine...... read more »

• ColdFusion Session Management Revisited... User vs. Spider III

  Posted on Jun 11, 2009 at 10:25 PM

  AIR requests are sessionless requests. So they should be treated as crawler requests. But if you need to connect to cfc's for data or whatever, it's normal to have a specific path for that with a extended Application.cfc, so you could remove the crawler stuff in there as that content is usually not ... read more »
