QuackFuzed.com is the personal ColdFusion coding blog of Matt Quackenbush. It exists primarily as a place for the author to learn, and hopefully to assist others in learning and/or avoiding some of the same pitfalls and mistakes. (Quack certainly makes enough mistakes daily to make up for the entire ColdFusion community.)
One of the (many) really nice features of CF9 is the addition of implicit getters and setters for CFCs. While I love having a concrete API, I am learning to love this idea more and more because of the saved keystrokes.
In the first post of what I hope turns out to be a series of posts about CF9, I wanted to give a couple of tips on getting CF8 and CF9 running alongside one another. It is really nice to be able to have both running simultaneously.
Well, after planning to play with CF9 for a very long time now but unable to find any time to do so, I am now in a situation where I must make time to learn it. As I work my way through the refactoring of an enormous code base to run on CF9, I will try and make a series of posts with any tips, tricks, or gotchas that I run across.
If you are not yet at least playing with CF9, I would encourage you to download the Developer Edition and get to working on it!
This is one of those posts that is definitely for my future reference. You know, one that I will hopefully never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever need, but will probably do the same stupid thing again anyways. Oh well, hopefully it will help someone else, too.
Wow. I have been so busy with things lately that I just realized that I forgot to release the latest version of cfUniForm. Well, that and I finally took a much needed vacation. :-)
This release contains a handful of minor bug fixes and a few new features, most of which are from new contributors to the library! So let's take a quick glance under the hood.
The purpose of this post is primarily to assist me in remembering this little tidbit, but hopefully it will be of use to someone else as well.
To date (like the pun?) I have not had to use NULL dates with Transfer, so I had never encountered this issue. However, today I needed to handle them, and so I wrote a couple of lines in my decorator thinking that would properly take care of everything.
Ayep, you read the title right. Quite frankly, it totally sucks that I have been forced to come to that realization, but I suppose in the end, it is better that I realized it before it was too late.
Over the years it seems that threads on two topics appear over and over again on various mailing lists and forums: code generation and object validation. Paul Marcotte recently released his Metro project which provides an answer to both of these topics. Metro takes advantage of features in Transfer and ColdSpring that are leveraged to help the developer get an application up and running in short order.
In this post, I want to focus on the second topic I mentioned earlier, that being object validation, so let's get to it.
It figures that a couple hours after I release cfUniForm v3.0 that jQuery would announce their 1.3.2 release. As a result, I have released cfUniForm v3.1, which now includes jQuery 1.3.2.
As always, be sure to check out the demos and download the latest.
Thanks to the combination of the holidays and a huge workload, it has been a few months since the last significant update to cfUniForm. During this time there have been updates to the Uni-Form markup/CSS as well as to jQuery and several of the integrated plugins. I finally decided to sit down and take the time to update cfUniForm to include all of these various updates.
