Viewing the ColdFusion Summit 2021 recordings

[Originally posted Dec 14, 2021. Updated Mar 30, 2022] If you would like to view the videos from the Adobe ColdFusion Summit 2021, which happened Dec 7-8, you can view the recordings via the CF Portal “videos“. For a time, you could also find them another way, discussed below, but I am finding on Mar 30 2022 that the other way is failing. Perhaps it’s a temporary problem. Anyway, I have updated the post here to clarify above how you CAN […]

Apache Struts Vulnerability – Dec 2021

Hello All! I was looking forward to a calm Friday afternoon, reading tech news…and I came across articles talking about a vulnerability in Apache Struts, and how it can be easily exploited.

CF Builder 2018 and version control question

I am new to ColdFusion Builder 2018, but I see that it has the ability to track history of file modifications within a workspace. Is there any way that you can check in/out files within CFBuilder 2018 though? It would be nice to know that a file is checked out by someone and needs to be checked in before I work on it. Best I can tell, I double click a file and it asks to take it out of […]

Should you “bother” to file bug reports at tracker.adobe.com? Yes you should

I just wanted to offer a quick plug to get folks to please consider filing bugs (and feature requests) at the Adobe site for tracking them, https://tracker.adobe.com. I’ve blogged before about how it can be used for more than most may realize. What I want to share here is that it’s not a “waste of time to bother”.
