The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How to secure coldfusion website - Unknown Error in Log

Asked by cmistre in Cold Fusion Markup Language, ColdFusion Application Server, ColdFusion Studio

Hi I have a strange error occurring regularly in my logs.

Here is a copy of the error

"Error","jrpp-130","09/11/09","19:11:38","loginSession","The value """" cannot be converted to a number

I have a page that requires a parameter such as

select record
from table
where id=1

I have set the code up so that there is always a default value, and it should never be blank, and then I further protected the page by adding...

<cfparam name = id default = "">

<cfif id eq "">
<cfabort>
</cfif>

That code is placed before the query so that it wont run the query if there is no value, however I still get the error persistently showing up in the logs. I'm guessing its some kind of spider or something. Is there anything I can do so it will abort the page processing so it wont keep adding this error in my logs?
