Coldfusion 10 Websockets Algorithm. I'm adding functionality to a simple coldfusion websocket chat application. The added functionality is 1) to display the name and picture of the person who is in the chatroom  and 2) to have a text file that all users can modify. I'm currently working on #1 but I just realized that I'll have to change the way the publish calls are made if I want to account for multiple operations. My question is: What is the best way to implement a ColdFusion websocket app to account for multiple actions. I understand that the publish method can accept "custom header" information so I'm following that methodology but I'm not sure how to read the header info and if I should do that on the javascript part or the server messageHandler. I'm passing in the info like this:  

wsObj.publish("ch1",'Hello World', {ui_trigger:  'btn3', empoyeeId: '12345'});

Does that seem right or is there a better way of doing it? I'm trying to capture the btn3 and 12345 data.

I have read websocket documentation and read multiple google searches for this but haven't really found a good example.
The main thing that I want to accomplish is to separate all actions and handle them all differently but to make sure all the data gets published to the other clients.

I have the below code sample and need to confirm the correct usage of CFTRANSACTION  and that a variable newID is being called to correctly:

<CFTRANSACTION>
<CFQUERY name="newID" datasource="#dsn#">
SELECT MAX(ID) + 1 AS newid FROM TLAApprovers
</CFQUERY>
 
<CFIF newID.recordcount is 0>
<CFSET newid2 = 0>
<CFELSE>
<CFSET newid2 = newID.newid >
</CFIF>

<cfquery name="updateMain" datasource="#dsn#">
Insert INTO TLAApprovers (ID, Name, Unit, ApproverEmail, Status)
Values ('#newid2#', '#form.Name#', '#form.unit#', '#form.ApproverEmail#', '#form.status#')
</cfquery>
</CFTRANSACTION>

I manage a bunch of websites that mostly use Coldfusion. Each website is located in its own directory on the server and they all use the same version of the code and they each have their own database. I am trying to figure out what is the best way to update all of the sites when I make a change to the code. Right now I have created a directory on the server that contains the changed files and then I use directoryCopy to copy over the new files. My code looks something like the following:

<cfset temp = directoryCopy("_UpgradeCode","website_to_update_directory/",true,"*.*")>

Select all Open in new window

One issue that I have is that I don't know if there were any problems copying over the code.

Can anyone suggest a better way to update websites? I am hoping that this can be done in an automated way so that I can just call a function or something and then it automatically updates all of the sites. I have created a list of sites to update that can be passed to the function.

Thank you for any help that you can provide about this.

I have a form that allows for multiple file uploads using the "multiple" attribute on an input type="file" field. The results are being passed to a cfc that should upload the files, resize them, crop them for thumbnails, etc.

I have the photoUpload argument of the cfc (the name of my field being photoUpload) set to type=any, because if you upload a single file it's passed as a string while multiple files are passed as an array. My question is how to tell the code that comes after if there's one file or many. Should I test to see if photoUpload is a simple value, then if it is do ListToArray and just "loop" over the one? Or is there a better way to handle this before it even gets to the cfc?

Additionally, when I loop over the array it's always giving me the last file name as the name, causing overwrite issues. Can you tell where I'm going wrong? (Ignore all the CFCATCH messages being returned with the message, that's just for my own troubleshooting.) It's similar to this question but she had multiple fields and loops.

<cfif IsSimpleValue(ARGUMENTS.photoUpload)>
			<cfset photoArray = ListToArray(photoUpload)>
		<cfelse>
			<cfset photoArray = ARGUMENTS.photoUpload>
		</cfif>
<!--- upload image(s) --->
		<cfloop from="1" to="#ArrayLen(photoArray)#" index="i">
			<cftry>
				<cffile action="upload"

I am trying to convert some coldfusion code to jsp and there are some tags like cfargument,cf:loop,cf:return,cf:location.. can anybody tell me what to use in place of these tags in jsp?

I have a search (with drop downs and input boxes) and results page using ColdFusion and Access. Displayed on the results is a link to a new search page with some criteria automatically filled for the user, and will click on the submit button to view the results.

Note: the search and results are on one page of code

How can I alter my link to automatically submit to view the results in lieu of having the user click submit?
Link code:

<a href="Search.cfm?RE=#RE#&JU=#JU#&SE=#SE#" target="_blank" ><font size=3>#RE#-#JU#-#SE#</font></a>

Hi

We have a computer with Coldfusion on running website on a localhost. I tried to add a new website but by doing this I now cant connect to any local website.

I've clearly done something wrong but I dont know how to fix it.

Can anyone guide me into a repair

Thanks

In a.cfm I have:
<CFSET VerObj = New cfcomponents.VerFold.Ver_Users()>
<CFSET VerObj.Functiion_1(userid)>

In the next few template, c.cfm, I need to call a different function within Ver_Users.cfc I can do the same thing:
<CFSET VerObj = New cfcomponents.VerFold.Ver_Users()>
<CFSET VerObj.Function_2(userid)>

If I need to call the same cfc again from yet another template down the road and I keep doing this I think it is very awkward and repetitive? the purpose of using .cfc is so that I can reuse or call the functions by just doing:

<CFSET VerObj,Function_1()> or
<CFSET VerObj,Function_2()>

from anywhere without keep instantiating the cfc, am I correct? is there any example on how I can accomplish This?

The following script is producing invoices.  It was working fine in 4.5, but my server has upgraded to CF 7.0.  The first invoice is produced, and then I encounter the error,  I have removed all addresses from the database except for the 20 or so valid ones from people who bid in the auction.  I am not a CF expert, and I am freaking out a little bit.

Here is the code:

I'm trying to integrate a coldfusion app with MS sharepoint. Both sites are within the intranet so it shouldn't be anything network related. I'm able to browse to the wsdl file from a browser but the cfsharepoint tag part gives following error:

I have a JSON feed which dumps a Facebook Page timeline feed. For some reason, Facebook allows a linked URL to be part of the actual message that is sent via JSON. So if I had a FB post that included a link to a Youtube video, it comes through the JSON feed like

'check out my cool new video http://www.youtube.com/myvideoid'

I'd prefer to strip out the url string from the JSON result and have it just give me

'check out my cool new video'

I know this has something to do with ReFindNoCase() or another similar thing, but I don't know how to write the code to strip it out and just leave me the message without the long url string.

We are looking to upgrade our coldfusion server (v 6.1) running server (2003) to a new server (server 2012) and ColdFusion 2016.

Looking for a solution/upgrade path.. If I need to upgrade first to a lower version.

If its not semi simple then possibly moving to another dev language.

Thanks in advance!
