My journey into breaking my perceptions of frameworks as cumbersome, and my experience with the Ortus Solutions ColdBox training.
I share here a table to try to make things clear.
[Originally published Jan 4, 2021. Updated July 14, 2021] As you may know, ColdFusion includes and embeds many libraries which help provide much of its functionality. Sometimes, people wonder what are the version numbers of those libraries, like jQuery, Solr, ehCache, and so on. And with each release I try to document these, first in my “Hidden Gems” talk on the new release (such as the one I did for CF2021 at the Nov 2020 online CF Summit). Then I […]

Does anyone know how to add a recaptcha to a Cold Fusion form? The form should not submit until the recaptcha has been checked off. I keep finding everything with PHP for this, but nothing with a Cold Fusion form. Here’s a simple form I created below. I’m not sure how to put the code in a special box here. I also left the Secret Key and Site key off of here on purpose. <cfparam name=”FORM.username” default=”” type=”string” > <cfparam […]
Did you know that the Online ColdFusion meetup has had 20 meetings this year? indeed our 278th talk on Dec 10? or that this is our 15th year? Let’s review the sessions this year.
I’ve not heard an official word on this from Adobe, but I can report that there are a few features that were “new” in CF2021, whose doc links HAD worked when the release first came out, but now the doc links get a 404. The implication seems to be that the feature, while still “in” CF currently, is one that’s been put “on hold” for some reason, as if perhaps we should not use them. Maybe they may be removed, […]
This is one of the most common error when it comes to make calls to https url’s with <cfhttp. A lot of articles are out there explaining how to install SSL certificate with keytool. But again its not very easy for everyone to understand. Best way to do it is using certman (CF admin) plugin, which was available on https://certman.riaforge.org/ but since its been taken down it was no where to be found. I recently found it in https://github.com/cfmaniac GIT repo […]
CF2021 introduces integration with Azure Blob, Microsoft’s object storage solution for the cloud. Operations such as Creating containers, Deleting container, Uploading File, Downloading File, Block Upload, Shared Access Signature are supported.
ColdFusion (2021 release) introduces an entirely new install experience, with a lightweight zip install option. Since it packages only the core CF2021 modules and has a trimmed down JDK, the zip is less than 150 MB, and both deployment and server startup time have been reduced significantly, compared to the full/GUI installer (which is still available).
