Adobe Connect and HTTP status codes

Blog in Black — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 08:15:06 GMT

One thing that annoys me quite a bit is how Adobe Connect handles HTTP status codes. Essentially it’s doing it in the wrong way (from my point of view at least), but let me explain. You might just know Adobe Connect from using Adobe’s hosted SaaS, but Adobe sells Adobe Connect as a so called licensed [...]

My Standing Desk

Many years ago, when I was drafting for a living, I stood at a table much like this one for most of the day. I had a stool but when working on large drawings standing was usually required. Then along … Continue reading →

My New Experience Getting ColdFusion Builder 2 Console Working

Chris Tierney — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:45:15 GMT

I have ColdFusion 9 Developer Edition installed on my Windows 7 machine running IIS7. Normally my ColdFusion 9 Application Server service starts automatically for me. Recently I have started learning and developing with ORM. Because of this, I need to figure out what ORM is asking the SQL server to make sure it’s not doing [...]

ColdFusion may have been disabled on your site

ColdFusion Developer Community — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:00:32 GMT

Hey folks, if you are using the developer hosting then you may find that ColdFusion is no longer working on your site, this is because I had to remove the global handler mappings to fix a bug.

All you need to do to fix this is login to WebsitePanel, go to your website properties page, select the ColdFusion tab and check the ColdFusion checkbox, then click save.

Please note though that this checkbox will always show as "unchecked" even after you have enabled ColdFusion due to a bug in WebsitePanel I have yet to fix. But CF should start working again after you do this.

sorry for any disruption.

OpenCFSummit Speaker Interview - Daria Norris

OpenCF Summit — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:30:45 GMT

Next up in our OpenCF Summit speaker interviews: Daria Norris!

Daria had been working as a Web Developer for the Free Library of Philadelphia for the last five years. I work on custom CMFL applications including the library's Intranet and Digital Collections application. I also tweet as @cfGothChic and have a radio show called Daria's Cheat Sheet on CodeBass Radio.

OpenCF Summit: Hey Daria! So tell us about yourself.

Daria: I started with CFML version 2 and have been working with it consistently for the last 15 years. I spent 10 of that as an independent consultant building competitive intelligence search engines for a large telecommunications company. I spent many years just using the 5 standard tags, but have moved into OOP with the help of CFCs and ORM integration.

OpenCF Summit: What does your development environment look like?

Daria: At work we are on Windows boxes with CF9 Ent, but for my small business and personal projects I have a Linux Railo VPS from VivioTech. I use CF Builder when I'm in Windows and CFEclipse in Linux. I've been anti-framework for years, but recently have become a FW/1 convert.

OpenCF Summit: What is your experience with Open Source Software? Where do you see OSS going?

Daria: For the industry that I work in, I see Open Source Software as the next generation of library automation software. As budgets grow smaller and as we get more and more librarians with a technical background, I see this trend continuing. Currently we are working on our first big open source project to deploy VuFind, a library catalog search interface written in PHP.

OpenCF Summit: Where do you think CFML is heading these days? How would you characterize the state of the CFML community?

Daria: I think Open Source is the future of CFML. Having OS engines that I can recommend to other librarians as an option to revive out of date code written in older versions is great. We need to get into niche markets and remind them how cool CFML is!

OpenCF Summit: Why are you excited about OpenCF Summit?

Daria: Looking forward to talking with like minded people who think outside of the box! Last year's conference was awesome and I'm looking forward to another great one this year.

OpenCF Summit: One last question: could you tell us a little about what you'll be speaking on?

Daria: I'll be ending the main track of the conference with a talk on 'CFML in a Competitive Open Source Market' where I'll go into depth about the library industry I work in. The library world is quickly moving to open source solutions for functions that were previously the domain of large enterprise propriety software. Where does CFML fit in that picture? How do we as a community support niche markets like this that only see PHP as a solution?

Come talk shop with Daria at OpenCF Summit February 24-26, 2012 and watch this space for more speaker interviews!

Setting Text Selection Colors in JavaScript

Christian Cantrell — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:00:24 GMT

If you’re building any kind of a text editor in JavaScript, you might want to be able to dynamically set or change the text selection color. I discovered it wasn’t as easy to do as I expected it to be, so I thought I’d share the code. I created this extreme (and admittedly, somewhat obnoxious) [...]
