Questions

I have a website for which I am going to need hosting.One part of the larger HTML/CSS site is a sample website written in ColdFusion.Do you have any suggestions as to the best way/place to host my site?Another consideration is that I would like to have a different part/page of the site "show off" a java program I have written.I appreciate any guidance.Thank you.

Has anyone else noticed after installing Update 6 that the CF version listed in the Service Info screen says 2016.0.05.308055 instead of 2016.0.06.308055?  Everything appears to have updated, the Tomcat version reflects the latest patches, but CF says 05 instead of 06 for its patch level.

I have a list of items in a database. I need a CF page that will allow a person to display all of the items and then prioritize (order) the list from "1 to n" and then have those prioritized numbers inserted back into the database. It seems that I need to somehow combine a cfoutput query="Qry" (to list all of the items) with an <cfinput type="text"  (to add an order number) then have the order number inserted back into the database on the submit...but I would sure appreciate some initial guidance. I'm not sure I'm in the ballpark quite yet. TIA

I am moving our website to a virtual machine, I made some small changes to one of the .cfc file, but ColdFusion keeps giving me the old debug info even the old code doesn't exist. I have to restart coldFusion service in Windows Services every time in order to get the new debug info. Also I already canceled all the Caching options in Administrator page. What should I do?

I am using Coldfusion and I would like to display the first few words in a database memo (unlimited text) field as a link for the user to select the whole record. Is it possible to limit the display of the text in the memo field to just a few words?As an example:<A HREF="AFIELD.cfm?ID=#URLEncodedFormat(ID)#"> #AName#: #AText#:

Migration to 2018 from 11?

Hello, all,I was just wondering if anyone has successfully accomplished a CORS via AJaX by setting the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header to either wildcard (*) or FQDN (www.anothersite.com)?I found a claim that I can use a CFHEADER tag to set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin and complete a cross-origin request. I was just wondering if anyone else has successfully done the same thing (regardless of server-side language).V/r,^ _ ^

I am looking to get ColdFusion 2016 running with Wildfly 10. I am not very familiar with either one of these two systems and I have not found any instructions or advice online. Our current application are running on ColdFusion 10 and Weblogic 12c but we are being forced by higher ups to move away from Weblogic to Wildfly 10. For security reasons we are moving away from ColdFusion 10 to 16. I don't even really know where to start. I looked on the adobe site and I saw instructions on how to get an old version of Jboss to work with ColdFusion 10 but when I tried to replicate that I got nothing.ThanksJamesd145

Anyone know of a good reason why the Createive Cloud updater requires that ColdFusion service be shutdown to install updates to completely unrelated programs - unrelated other than by the parent company? It's pretty annoying.

Our company has two web services that we host that a vendor uses to grab information from on a periodic basis. These services ran fine on a CF8 SSL site, but once we switched to 11, the services can no longer be created. However, I can create them on our unsecured test site (which also is running CF 11) and access them externally without issue. When I try to create the webservice in the url, I just get a blank page back instead of the XML I should be getting. Is there something special I am missing that has to be done to create web services in a secure environment? The raw error message I get when trying to invoke the secure web service is below:coldfusion.xml.rpc.XmlRpcServiceImpl$BadWsdlXMLException: Unable to parse WSDL as an XML document. at coldfusion.xml.rpc.XmlRpcServiceImpl.retrieveWSDL(XmlRpcServiceImpl.java:976) at coldfusion.xml.rpc.XmlRpcServiceImpl.access$000(XmlRpcServiceImpl.java:96) at coldfusion.xml.rpc.XmlRpcServiceImpl$1.run(XmlRpcServiceImpl.java:309) at java.securi

HiI have CF 11 running with SQL server 2005.I have a web server running on mydomain.com.  All was well.I needed to switch mydomain.com to another host off of my network. But I wanted to keep the CF site that was on my network, running under another domain name. So I registered the domain name  mydomaintest.com and pointed it to my current web server.All was well, and when I would go to mydomaintest.com, it would go to my current web server.However, once I switched the domain mydomain.com to point to the new web server, whenever I go to mydomaintest.com now, I get "DATASOURCE Undefined".Any suggestions? This was a custom CF site that I did not build.ThanksMike

HiI have inherited a Cold Fusion website and am interested in engaging an external consultant to help me manage and maintain the site. I have trawled the web but have not found any Sydney based consultants. Does anyone have any recommendations?cheersDavid

Will there be a way for parameters passed to a function to be final?

Adobe did have a pre-release nginx connector for 2016 which doesn't seem to have been released, is there a plan to release it and include it with CF2018?

I am interested in developing in ColdFusion 11... or in 2016 (it doesn't really matter). I see a 30 day trial for the ColdFusion 2016. Is the Developer version "free" or not? What happens at the end of the 30 day trial?

Hi,I have been working with the CF admin api on CF 2016 (patch 6) and when I try and do anything with security, datasources, etc I get an error on the CHECKADMINROLES function. I am using the admin user, even tried creating a new user with full access to everything just in case. Anyone know a way around this as the docs are pretty poor.ERROR:coldfusion.runtime.CustomException:        at coldfusion.tagext.lang.ThrowTag.doStartTag(ThrowTag.java:142)        at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage._emptyTcfTag(CfJspPage.java:3696)        at cfaccessmanager2ecfc293914889$funcCHECKADMINROLES.runFunction(/CFIDE/adminapi/accessmanager.cfc:57)        at coldfusion.runtime.UDFMethod.invoke(UDFMethod.java:492)        at coldfusion.filter.SilentFilter.invoke(SilentFilter.java:47)        at coldfusio

Hello All,I have this simple code to show a pop up window using cfwindow:<cfajaximport tags = "cfwindow"><cfwindow initshow="true"  x="200" y="200"> this is cfwindow contents</cfwindow>It supposes to show a pop up window with the words say "this is cfwindow contents".BUT I only see "this is cfwindow contents", there is no frame, no pop up window, and it gives me NO error, I think it has something to do with css.It happens the same thing with ipod, cflayout.It's hard to fix  the issue since it not gives me any error messageI wonder if anyone out there has the same issueThank youHPpham_mn@yahoo.com

If one uses the Help>Check for Updates feature in CFBuilder 2018 beta, it returns an error:No repository found at https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/PR/cfb4standalonerepo.Of course, I realize that today there are no such updates for the beta, only 3 days old, but over time people will think to check this, and it seems there ought to be a repo with whatever it needs so that it gets no error, but instead causes this to return the message that there are no updates, like we would get in production CFB deployments between available updates.

Hello All,I have this very simple code to show a pop up window using cfwindow:<cfajaximport tags = "cfwindow"><cfwindow initshow="true"  x="200" y="200"> this is cfwindow contents</cfwindow>It supposes to show a pop up window with the words say "this is cfwindow contents".BUT I only see "this is cfwindow contents", there is no pop up window, and it gives me NO error, I think it has something to do with css.I have spent a day to debug it but I  don't have any luck.Since it not gives me any error messageI wonder if anyone out there has the same issueThank youHPpham_mn@yahoo.com

Hello, all,I've recently been tasked to investigate using Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube APIs on our public-facing page. I have been looking into it, and the Twitter API is very simple - they even have a page that you can use to customise the look and feel of whatever page you wish to grab tweets from and it creates an anchor tag with all the parameters. Very nice.However, I have come across a stumbling block. The Facebook and YouTube APIs involve using IFRAME. On our network, IFRAME is proscribed. Major security issue (primarily cross-site scripting.)Is anyone aware of alternative methods for putting a Facebook or YouTube widget on a site that does NOT use IFRAME?V/r,^ _ ^

I previously used CF10, and had a copy of CFML Reference and Developing ColdFusion 10 Applications​ to look things up in.I'm looking for the CF2016 versions of those documents, and I don't see them anywhere. There's an Archive​ with links to all the older versions, but no equivalent for CF2016. Somehow I did get a file called coldfusion_2016_cfml_ref.pdf but it's a stub, containing web links instead of documentation for tags and functions.Did they give up on producing an actual manual? Do I have to rely on flaky web searches instead of having a fast, reliable, searchable-on-my-own-terms, local copy? Or did I just miss the link to place where the real documentation is kept?

Hello all,I'm a project lead for my company and am currently evaluating switching to ColdFusion Builder 2016 from Dreamweaver as our primary IDE.  As such, I'm having a bit of a learning curve finding some neccessary items for our development and deployment strategy currently in place.  Granted our set up is not the best, and if I would have been around when it was initially designed, would have done it differently, but doing a complete change at this time is not really an option.Our current set up, every developer has a local server configured (we are currently developing in CF9, but I'm working on getting us switched to CF2016, lots of issues to work out with that).  When a developer is working on stuff and ready to test it on a our staging server, they compare files to the remote staging server, merge any changes that other developers may have made, then upload the new version to the staging server.  This is all handled through RDS currently.As part of the upgrad
