I design my first front end site using bootstrap.  I then export the bootstrap file into a regular HTML extension. I open the HTML file in dream Weaver and save that file as a.CFM extension. When I go to preview the page, all of the behaviors, the scroll, the modal all no longer works.  When I sAve the file extension back to an HTML file, everything works. Is there a method to allow the same behaviors to work under a cold fusion extensions as it does with the regular HTML extension? Does cold fusion work with bootstrap and JavaScript behaviors?

I installed ColdFusion 2021 and now I catch some error:class coldfusion.runtime.TemplateProxy cannot be cast to class coldfusion.runtime.Struct (coldfusion.runtime.TemplateProxy and coldfusion.runtime.Struct are in unnamed module of loader coldfusion.bootstrap.BootstrapClassLoader @3b2553d9)I investigated the issue and found that we can't use Structure this.EnvStruct.Items directly in the query. I fixed the query:But It's not a good idea, because we have a lot of functions when we use the structure, this code is working in Coldfusion11 and Coldfusion2018.  Could you help me?

Hi folks. I am trying to get data from an array in a JSON file. I create the variable webhook from the JSON. I need to get the product_ID from the two arrays.  When I dump webhook to a file, it looks like this:...line_items:[array]1) [struct]id: 14image:[struct]id: 57src: https://i0.wp.com/www.blah.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/block_logo_round.png?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1meta_data:[array]1) [struct]display_key: _reduced_stockdisplay_value: 1id: 155key: _reduced_stockvalue: 1name: Block & Tackle Smokehouse and Tavernparent_name: undefinedprice: 19product_id: 56quantity: 1sku: [empty string]subtotal: 19.00subtotal_tax: 0.002) [struct]id: 15image:[struct]id: [empty string]src: [empty string]meta_data:[array]1) [struct]display_key: _reduced_stockdisplay_value: 1id: 156key: _reduced_stockvalue: 1name: Paddle parent_name: undefinedprice: 54product_id: 82quantity: 1sku: [empty string]subtotal: 54.00subtotal_tax: 0.00First, I'm setting count to the Array Length.<cfset count

Hi, I am using Coldfusion 8. In CFIDE I saw "Connection String" parameter under Advanced setting for MSSQL Data connection. I was wondering if we can use it for failover using a connection string like: "Data Source=server1;FailoverPartner=server2;Initial Catalog=db_name;Uid=db_user;Pwd=db_pass;" Where server2 is mirrored database. thanks in advance :)

I am using the following:— ColdFusion 2021— SQL Server Express 2019— SQL Server Management Studio 18.12.1— Dreamweaver I'm trying to set up a data source in the database tab, but when I click on RDS Login, I get the following error message:1. The URL specified for this site's testing server may be incorrect: http://localhost:8500/estimates/2. The testing server may be incorrectly configured (for example, ColdFusion may not be running). I have created a data source in CF Aadmin, and I'm able to connect to the database, if I hard code the query into Dreamweaver, the query and code runs just fine.  I just can't do it through the database panel.  To clarify, the testing server is correct because I can view the files when I type in the URL. The ColdFusion server is running - I checked it in Windows >> Services.  I just can't connect to the database in Dreamweaver's Databases panel. Thank you.    

After upgrading my site from ColdFusion 11 to ColdFusion 2021, I'm receiving error messages that I can't decipher.  Can anyone tell me what is actually failing here?  For example, what does EXCEPTIONS <small><i>not set</i></small> mean? Funny that.  I've been doing this for two decades now and this is the first time I've been stumped by a ColdFusion error message.  I guess there's a first time for everything.  😄 Any assistance is appreciated.

Running into a cfimage problem trying to convert a tiff image to a PNG or JPG. PNG conversion results in a 0 byte file.  JPG conversion produces am image, but it is a negative of the original.<cfimage source="test.tif" action="convert" destination="test.jpg" overwrite="true">

When I first started writing ColdFusion code (in the Allaire days) a CFChart line graph would allow one to mouseover a datapoint and it would pop up the values of both axes in a sort of tooltip. When I upgraded to CF11 I lost the X axis information and would just get the Y axis datapoint. That sucked out loud, but I dealt with it. But now I've upgraded to CF2021 and have lost all the tooltip popups. I tried JPG, PNG, and HTML (which failed completely). What's going on? I have not changed the code since the earliest incarnation. I've attached one of the sections of code.

We have been developing ColdFusion applications for over 20 years and I cannot believe what I am seeing with the Adobe ColdFusion 2021 pricing. We have a client that we have been developing and maintaining an application for since the year 2000, one of oldest clients. Recently they sold the one divisions that uses the application to another company. So, they are going through the process of separating the parts of the business and moving the applications and network to the new entity. The new company have decided to move all the infrastructure from inhouse hosted systems to a Microsoft Azure hosted system. It is 2022, so they may as well host everything in the Cloud, makes senses and what better time to do it then we you have to set up all the systems. The current application is used by approximately 100 employees and is used inhouse only. The current system runs on Adobe ColdFusion Server 2016 Standard Edition with a Microsoft SQL Server back end. It isn’t a very complex sys

We are facing issues randomly while getting response from Slooce API to validate mobile numbers.Error message says connection failure while establishing connection.Here's the example of one of the API call:- "09/07/22","02:40:44","","Starting HTTP request {URL='https://americalearns.cloud.sloocetech.net/slooce_apps/spi/americalrn80/13232523652/AMERICALEARNS/messages/supported', method='POST'}" Here's the screenshot of the response received , this error is not very frequent it comes sometimes. 

I am running CF10 fully updated (10,0,11,285437) and I cannot get the <cfschedule> tag pause/resume to work properly.  This is what I noticed at first, then I realized later the delete does not work either.  I always get:The following task could not be found: myTask.I am running CF10 64bit and Apache 2.2 (32bit) on Windows Server 2008 R2 and I am running virtual hosts under a single IP.  The <cfschedule> 'update' and 'list' tags work just fine as well do the 'pauseAll' and 'resumeAll' for groups.  I unfortunately do not have another 64bit server to attempt setting this up on again and verify the issue.  I'm hoping someone else can give me some ideas on where to go next here, because I really need to use this functionality and I've already had 1 other person tell me it works for them under CF10.Please, any help or suggestions on what to try would be really appreciated.Here's a paste of my sample code that breaks.<cfschedule action="update" task="m

I am taking over a website of approx. 100 pages with no loading panels. I would like to add a generic loading panel to the entire site without modifying all the pages.Is ther a simple way to add a loading panel to the entire site without modifying every page? 

Bonjour,J'ai bien compris le fonctionnement quand on connait le nombre déléments :<CFINPUT type="text" name="Iban1" mask="??00" size="4" maxlength="4">Par contre, je n'ai pas compris quand on connait pas la longeur à l'avance :Exemple : 0.50 ou 2.25 ou 65.85 ou 357 ou 1 253.35.D'autre existe-t-il un moyen pour empécher de saisir dans un champ suite à une condition non remplie.Merci d'avance pour votre aide. Hello,I understand how it works when you know the number of elements:<CFINPUT type="text" name="Iban1" mask="??00" size="4" maxlength="4">On the other hand, I did not understand when we do not know the length in advance:Example: 0.50 or 2.25 or 65.85 or 357 or 1,253.35.Else is there a way to prevent typing in a field following an unfulfilled condition.thank you in advance for your help.  

Hi,I'd like to experiment with Coldfusion and Adobe Sign. It uses OAuth.Some info: https://secure.au1.adobesign.com/public/static/oauthDoc.jspExample:<cfhttp result="result" method="GET" charset="utf-8" url="https://secure.na1.adobesign.com/public/oauth/v2"><cfhttpparamtype="FORMFIELD"name="response_type"value='code'/><cfhttpparamtype="FORMFIELD"name="client_id"value='my client id is omitted.'/><cfhttpparamtype="FORMFIELD"name="redirect_uri"value="https://localhost/testsign/redirect.cfm"/><cfhttpparamtype="FORMFIELD"name="scope"value='user_read:account+user_write:account+user_login:account+agreement_read:account+agreement_write:account+agreement_send:account+widget_read:account+widget_write:account+library_read:account+library_write:account+workflow_read:account+workflow_write:account'/><cfhttpparamtype="FORMFIELD"name="state"value='1234'/></cfhttp> If I cfdump the result the Status code is 200 OK It has has a Filecontent var con

I don't know what else to try.  I have created a fully functional ORM CRUD application that is working perfectly when I have the mapping cfc located in the root folder with the index.cfm file that is using it.  However, as soon as I move the mapping cfc into the "ORM" folder that is in the root folder and add the cfclocation attribute all I ever get is that it can't find the component or interface.  To make sure that it works and I don't have any strange errors I have (in the index.cfm file) instanciated it using createObject with a path of "orm.HistoricalEvents" and then dump it to the screen and that works just fine as well.  Below is my setup and directory structure.  If anyone has any suggestions i would love to hear them.  I love the ORM capabilities and want to use them but I don't want to have a pile of mapping cfcs just sitting in the root folder.Setup:Windows 7 Enterprise, 64 bitIIS 7.5File Directory/IIS Physical Path: C:\WebDev\DevGammaVirtual Di

 Hi everybody, I look for a gateway that watches changes in a database (e.g., insertions of records into a table, etc.), just like DirectoryWatcher monitors in a directory for files when they are created, modified, or deleted. Which of the existing CF gateways is most suited for this purpose? or might it work with a few changes???Is there a bespoke CF gateway that does this? Thank you in advance.

Just installed CF 2021, new server, migrated cfm code over. Setup external site in IIS. Removed the Default Site. Anytime the server is rebooted, we get a 500 error and a message cannot find component xxx.xxx.cfc. Once we restart the CF service, it all works until the next reboot. I tried both combinations of delayed start on CF and IIS but no change.  Re-reran ws-config (update and also remove/add).  No change.  Anyone seen this strange behavior? 

Does anyone have experience working with Adobe Sign and ColdFusion?  We are very new to Adobe Sign and are trying to integrate ColdFusion with it.  Our first question is; is there a way to seamlessly login to Adobe Sign using Single Sign On (Shibboleth, in our case), so that our Users do not have to have an Adobe Sign account?  Right now through Adobe Sign, we have to create an application to get an Application ID and a Client Secret Key that we then process through the application.cfc, that requires us to login to Adobe Sign upon entry to the website.  Our second question is; is there a way to send form values to a PDF to auto populate the form before it is sent for signing and/or approving?  Thank you in advance.

HiWe have an application running on a hosted server that has CF11 installed.We have a copy of this application running on another server that has Lucee installed. We want to replace both of these with a single hosted VM server and upgrade to 2021 standard edition (total users across both servers is less that 250). My main concern is that FAQ for CF 2021 says the standard edition license is $2500 per 2 cores. The entry level option for most hosted VM servers (certainly around here) is 4 CPU and who knows how many cores that is. The server I want to migrate to is a hosted VM server that will do other things than by  a CF server and it has 12 cores. So what are my options?Accept that CF is not a solution for small businesses and ditch it for Lucee? Is there a way to install standard on a 12 core machine but have it limit itself to 2 cores so that it does not violate the license? Are there other options? Thanks in advanceNeal

I've been working on upgrading a small business's infrastructure from CF 8 to CF 2021. Their database is in MS Access and as a part of this upgrade, we've had to move some of the larger tables to SQL Server Express 2014 and add them as linked tables in Access. These are then manipulated using a combination of local access queries/forms/macros and passthrough queries to SQL. Everything works perfectly in Access, and utilizing the native Access tables in CF works as well, just the linked tables are causing errors. The issue is that whenever a linked table is referenced in CF, either through a query that includes it or the linked table itself, the microsoft access driver throws an error. The error depends slightly on how SQL Server is linked to access.When using the built-in method of linking SQL Server to access with a named pipe, this error is thrown:[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] ODBC--connection to 'ODBC Driver 11 for SQL

Hello community, We use the CFIMAP tag to connect to a Microsoft Exchange server to retrieve emails. It has been working properly for a couple of years until yesterday when at about 8:40 AM EST we started to get this error from our CFTRY/CATCH block: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. Nothing has been changed from our side. I can still login to the webmail for the account being used and I see all the emails.We also tried a different account to discard that the account was the issue without success.After looking online, I believe the issue could be related to something wrong in the handshake. Quoting Charlie Arehart: "TLS (and SSL) is a two-way handshake between the origin and the destination, where each reports what versions it supports and they negotiate to pick one that works for both ends of the conversation." That's where my troubleshooting takes me but I could be wrong.Anyone has experienced this before? Thank you very much!

Our company is in the process of setting up a new ColdFusion 2021 server for one of our customers. A feature they would like to use requires the PDF Service Manager. It seemed to install okay using the new Package Manager, but we're unable to start or verify the service. We simply get: Error enabling PDF Service Manager.Check logs for more details. Checking the logs reveals: application.log: Error enabling PDF Service Manager server.log: Connect to 127.0.0.1:8993 [/127.0.0.1] failed: Connection refused (Connection refused) http://127.0.0.1:8993/PDFgServlet/verify One would expect this to "just work," so we're at a loss as to what else we need to do. It's an Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Linux server.

I am upgrading CF2016 applications to CF2021.  I am using and extending Adobe CF2021 latest Docker image.  I am able to create extended CF2021 Docker image and log in to the CF Adminstrator.I am also able to build my application Docker image using that extended CF2021 Docker image. The application does start.  However on my home page, all image, css, and javascript files referenced return 404 Resource Not Found.  Not understanding why that is.  All file references are using relative pathing which worked in CF2016.Thank you
