So I have the jsession.user and other variables set within application.cfm. Jsession is not a standard Coldfusion structure; session is, even when you're using J2EE sessions. So, use session.user instead. Also, to maintain state, replace reqURL by #URLSessionFormat(reqURL)# or reqURL?#session.URLToken#, where reqURL is any URL from your site to your site. For example, use <cfoutput><form action="#URLSessionFormat(myActionPage.cfm)#"></cfoutput> or <cfoutput><form action="myActionPage.cfm?#session.URLToken#"></cfoutput> instead of <form action="myActionPage.cfm"> ...

Get rid of the octothorps from around now() in your list of values. It just so happens that the cold fusion function and msaccess functions have the same name. Most databases will accept the raw 'Coldfusion' result #now()# or, arguably better, #createodbcdatetime(now())# in that spot, provided of course the column is of type datetime. I think it would also work even if the database does not have the now() function. Only a guess; not tried it yet. ... View more

1) I don't think you need to have the file zip.cfc in the custom tags folder. Create the folder myCFCs in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\demo_site. 2) Copy the file zip.cfc from the custom tags folder to the folder myCFCs. 3) Save the following code in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\demo_site as the file zipper.cfm <cfscript> /* Create an instance of a component object */ zip = CreateObject("component", "myCFCs.Zip"); /* Add files to Zip file */ status = zip.AddFiles(zipFilePath="d:\inetpub\wwwroot\demo_site\demo_site_zipped.zip", directory="d:\inetpub\wwwroot\demo_site\", recurse="yes"); </cfscript> 4) Run zipper.cfm There is a warning. The directory should not contain many subdirectories and files. If the directory demo_site contains even a dozen or so directories and subdirectories, several layers deep, the component may cause your computer to hang.

To get that relative path value on each page itself, you could just remove C:\websites\HostDirectory\Site\ from the absolute path, thus <cfset relpath=ReplaceNoCase(ExpandPath( "myPage1.cfm"),"C:\websites\HostDirectory\Site\","")> However, if you want code for myPage1.cfm that will find the relative path of any given arbitrary file, myPage2.cfm, then you could implement a search. The reason is, such a file may have an arbitrary directory structure, C:\websites\HostDirectory\Site\..\dir1\dir2\..\myPage2.cfm. I also wonder whether one could do it with code that searches using cfdirectory. I'm looking into it. ... View more

- If the date column has datetime datatype, as one would expect, you will get an error if you attempt to insert '#date#'. Correct is #date#, without the single-quotes; - For the variable you now call date, I would use the name theDate instead. It saves you from worrying about database-forbidden names; - Since the date value you wish to store is "now", it makes the date-insert pretty straightforward. You don't need to format the form input. Just insert the value #now()# or #createodbcdatetime(now())#. (This assumes, of course, that the datatype is datetime.) ... View more

But, I don't see that it would help me present an article with images placed within the text flow. Again using the example I gave, the following code will output the entire contentFromDB , including text, line breaks and custom tag. The code was based on the contentFromDB variable that I created. You should, of course, adapt it to your situation. That is, taking account of the common structure(delimiters, tags, line breaks) of the text blocks that you pull from the batabase. ... View more

Given the rules you're setting up for this (custom tags need to be in a specific subdir), can you not dispense with the <cfimport>, and just use <cfmodule>? That way you would not have to have a case statement for each possibility of tag, just check if the file exists in your pre-defined location, and if so, call it? <cfmodule> has the beenfit of being able to take run-time values for its template, whereas custom tag or imported tags cannot. This is slightly more scalable. I have just given it a whirl. I think this is the best solution so far. ... View more

And if you remove the delete-action from the GetHeaders scope altogether? That is, <cfset n=#GetHeaders.recordCount#> <cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#n#"> <cfpop server = "***" username = "***" password = "***" action = "delete" messagenumber="#i#"> </cfloop> ... View more

There might be some complication in your approach. I think Coldfusion creates a cfpop query object only when the action is getHeaderOnly or getAll, not when the action is delete. To test this hypothesis, run the following <cfpop action="delete" name="deleter" messagenumber="1" server="mail.mydomain.com" timeout="180" username="myself" password="df56s7"> <cfif isdefined("deleter")> deleter defined <cfelse> deleter undefined </cfif> Your <cfpop action="delete"> might not be picking up values from the GetHeaders query. What happens when you run the following code instead <cfset i=0> <cfoutput query = "GetHeaders"> <cfset i=i+1> <li>Row: #currentRow#: From: #From# -- Subject: #Subject# -- UID: #UID#</li> <cfpop server = "***" username = "***" password = "***" action = "delete" messagenumber="#i#"> </cfoutput> ...

I would recommend the following procedure, which doesn't require you to create files. It therefore avoids any extra performance costs. It is a variation on ElectroDJuk's theme.

I indeed wondered why Toddzimm was having such difficulties. I now understand the question to be as follows. Given the string, <cfset contentFromDB = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Phasellus ultricies diam ut magna. Praesent pede risus, congue non, pellentesque non, nonummy sed, sapien.<br><br><cf_WrapImage filename=""cell_staff.jpg"" frameType=""B"" altText=""a manufacturing cell team""><br><br>Curabitur neque mi, vulputate eget, suscipit nec, blandit quis, dolor. Cras elementum.Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas."> does there exist Coldfusion code one can put on the current page to run the custom tag? I can now see the source of the misunderstanding. I have added extra double quotes to escape the double-quotes around the attribute values. Toddzimm's version of the text, where the quotes are not escaped, gives the impression that we're already in a page which displays the text from the database. Hence, my code suggestions. I think the reason for the failed attempts is that Coldfusion tags and functions for outputting data have been tag-defanged. By that I mean, they have been designed so as to ignore any tags that occur in the output. For example, in the following block of code, Coldfusion ignores any tags that occur in the output. Unknown tags don't even cause an exception. <someTag> <cfoutput><someTag></cfoutput><br> <someTag /> <cfoutput><someTag /></cfoutput><br> <someTag></someTag> <cfoutput><cfscript>writeoutput("<someTag></someTag>");</cfscript></cfoutput><br> <cfscript>writeoutput("<cfset x=2><cfscript>writeoutput(x);</cfscript>");</cfscript> <br> <cfset y="<cf_myCustomtag attr1=1 attr2=2>"> <cfoutput>#y#</cfoutput> <cfset z="<cfset x=2><cfscript>writeoutput(x);</cfscript>"> <cfoutput>#Evaluate(DE(z))#</cfoutput> Coldfusion will therefore ignore the custom tag <cf_wrapimage>, when it occurs in the output. But then, that is where it occurs when we apply <cfoutput>, writeoutput(), evaluate(), etc. ... View more
