Where can I find http://pdfutils.riaforge.org/ these days?

I'm looking to get the width of a pdf file and I think what Ray has written will do that.

CF Admin question. What are the “gotcha’s” of turning on “Use internal cache to store queries” in a production enviornment?

I have a client with a weird thing happening on their server. I don't have access to this server, so my ability to answer questions is severely limited. But I'm curious if anyone has any ideas or has seen something similar. My app has a page, Merge.cfm which receives a couple of document id's as post data, calls

cfpdf action="merge"

on them, and then reindexes the produced document. In that process, it calls a

package

method,

insertDocumentRow

, on DocumentInsertHandler.cfc, which is stored in the same directory as Merge.cfm. This works fine, except for this one client. On their server, it complains that

The insertDocumentRow package method in the C:\path\DocumentInsertHandler.cfc component cannot be accessed from c:\path\Merge.cfm.

I sent them code that changes that method to

public

and then it works fine. My best guess is that the C: vs c: in the error message is making CF think that the files are in different directories. But I have no idea where that difference could be coming from. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Happy Wednesday! Has anyone successfully implemented the solution announced by Mark Takata at https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7016822066679078913/ in early January to use oAuth for sending e-mail using CFMail? Mark's post (thank you Mark) directs you to a page on the Adobe site at https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/authenticate-imap-pop-smtp-connection-oauth.html that describes the dependencies and code updates that need to be incorporated to make this work. Unfortunately, well after working with Adobe ColdFusion Technical Support for over a month to get this working, I am no closer to getting this working than I was when I first started engaging with them. The first issue I have is when I use the CFOAUTH tag, I receive an access token, and not an authorization token as described on the Adobe page. If I ignore using the CFHTTP call Adobe recommends I use next and just use the access_token value returned by Azure Active Directory as the password for CFMail, my messages get sent successfully. Woo-Hoo! But wait ... not Woo-Hoo. If a different browser is used to attempt to send a message (CFOAUTH is in the flow), the person trying to send the message gets a prompt to authorize my Azure Active Directory app to send mail on behalf of my company. Okay - that makes sense (gulp). Adobe recommended that I just copy and paste the auth_token generated in an Incognito web browsing session into the password attribute for CFMail - that would be good. Well, as you would expect, that works great for an hour, then the access_token value from Azure Active Directory expires and the prompt to a user (could be my customer) would be display to authorize my Azure Active Directory app to send mail for any mailbox in my tenant. Any guidance from anyone who has successfully implemented Adobe's solution for using CFOAuth with CFMail would be greatly appreciated.

is it possible to flush data to the screen from inside an async loop?

A quick reminder that the Call For Papers for CFCamp 2023 is going to close in … 5 days! March 15th it is. If you were a previous speaker or want to try giving a conference talk for the first time - make sure you get your submissions in soon! https://www.papercall.io/cfcamp2023

Apropos of nothing except paying attn to how eternally helpful ppl are, it's time to give @bdw429s and @Mark Takata (Adobe) AND @zackster a ⭐ Thanks fellas, on behalf of everyone here (for whom I have not been appointed speaker, but fuck'em if they don't agree 😉)

Thanks Adam. We both work, in different ways, towards the same goal.

Hello! I'm starting to use the commandbox module box-ngrok to be able to have a customer access a development version of a ColdFusion app that I'm working on. However, when I enter "share" into commandbox to start sharing, it looks like I'm getting a file permission error. I've tried changing the security of the folder being accessed to give everyone on my machine full access to it, but no dice so far. I think that the java file that's running from ngrok just doesn't have access to the folder, so I'm wondering how I might be able to grant access to the folder? 😊

hi cfmlers, in one website i saw the live users being counted but there was no ajax functionality, it seems they were using some socket connections things , does anyone have anything like this, possibly a tutorial

Hello everyone! I'm hoping someone can help me with an issue that just started happening on our ColdFusion server. Suddenly the querystring/URL variables are being removed from the URL. Essentially an HREF link in the code: https://domain.com/thisfile.cfm?urlvar=1 when clicked on becomes https://domain.com/thisfile.cfm. Even if I type the URL with the querystring, it still get removed. Any and ALL input welcome!

Is anyone using the Github Copilot Business plan w/CFML? I've searched the CFML Slack archives and found some mixed reviews. Just curious how well people have found it working with CFML. Since the amount of open source CFML is pretty limited (compared to other languages), I'd assume it's not great.

I am reading Clean Code again (we're doing it at book-club at work). This stands out more than anything so far: Nothing has a more profound and long-term degrading effect upon a development project than bad code. Bad schedules can be redone, bad requirements can be redefined. Bad team dynamics can be repaired. But bad code rots and ferments, becoming an inexorable weight that drags the team down. Time and time again I have seen teams grind to a crawl because, in their haste, they created a malignant morass [...]

Some google-fu is pointing at the InstallAnywhere app having a problem with the temp directory. I've tried reassigning the temp directory, and increasing the volume and instance size. Nothing is working. The CF 2021 installer does not experience the same issue. I did notice that the description of the AMI from AWS reads "Canonical, Ubuntu, 22.04 LTS, amd64 jammy image build on 2023-02-08" so I'm wondering if this issue was introduced then. Has anyone else run into this?

Does anyone know when forgebox will have the CF2018 rev 16 available for commandbox?

I am trying to install the ColdFusion add on (Developers Tools) for the SOLR server, solrinstall, but I get a java error and I was wondering if anybody could help.

Thanks in advanced for any help!

Having issues trying to establish a connection from ACF 2021 Ent Oracle driver to Oracle DB 19c. The FW rules are in place and telnet from the server works fine, but we are getting a timeout with the CF Oracle Data source definition. Hostname, SID, Port, URL, driver class are correct. We are stumped at why a timeout would occur, which usually indicates a firewall issue, but the firewall is open. Would anyone have any ideas?

Hi 🙂 has anyone the download link for CF2021_certman Module?

Solr question/observations: • Is there a way to do a facet search/query via <cfsearch> or is that restricted to http to Solr directly? • There is no mention of dynamic fields, just custom1...custom4 or any of the other items that were added in CF10. • link on https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/developing-applications/changes-in-coldfusion/solr-enhancements.html to Solr enhancements in ColdFusion 10 - goes nowhere. ◦ I found it on the wayback machine : https://web.archive.org/web/20211205083626/https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/develo[…]a/solr-search-support/solr-enhancements-in-coldfusion-10.html ◦ It looks like it got redirected to a generic page Aug 15, 2022

Someone I know hired an SEO consulting firm to help them improve their rankings. They've done everything the firm told them to, with the exception of changing their backend layer. The firm says it's their app engine (which happens to be Lucee) that's causing the issue. However, their website goes through CloudFlare and they actually cache all the pages on the edge, so the site is essentially static. I know slow speed can affect SEO, but their content generally all returns in < 350ms. When I look at their PageSpeed results, performance gets a 100%. They do get some warnings about "excessive DOM size" and needing a more effective cache policy for static assets, but those are things that are not related to the app engine. Has anyone seen an issue with the app engine (when speed wasn't the factor) hampered SEO?

Hey all, just a quick update that I've added Lucee 6 Beta to TryCF.com. I'm waaaay behind on any other improvements (new job and not a lot of time to focus on it much lately). Hopefully can start pushing some improvements soon. Posted in #lucee

Hi Team, I am trying to run command box test from docker container and it's throwing below error.
