Identify Unlinked Pages – CF Builder

We have a large number of legacy pages in our application’s code repository which are not linked to other pages. Is there a way in ColdFusion Builder to see which pages are not linked so they can be deleted?

Adventures in Installations – Installing CF 2018 Developer Edition on Ubuntu 16.04 + Apache

TLDR;  After beating my head against my monitor trying to figure out why ColdFusion wouldn’t configure a web server on install under Ubuntu and Apache, I learned you need to run the wsconfig after the fact, and the commands you need (assuming you installed in the default location) are: cd /opt/coldfusion2018/cfusion/runtime/bin/./wsconfig -ws Apache -dir /etc/apache2/ -v ———- Alright… I’m tired of waiting for someone to come up with a CF 2018 AWS instance.  I really want to play with the […]

RTF to PDF Formatting

Hey Guys, I was wondering if you have any ideas on why on using CFDOCUMENT to convert a RTF to a PDF the formatting breaks especially if the RTF has a table. Thanks!

CFEXECUTE

Hey Guys, I was wanting to know if you all ever had this issue?  I created a .NET application that will convert an RTF to a PDF but if I Launch the EXE (as an administrator)   on the server it runs as designed, however when I run it via the CF webserver using CFEXECUTE the application won’t launch. Is there a security setting somewhere that I am not seeing.  The application I created has the “Run as administrator” checked for […]

CF Camp 2018: Madness in Munich Part Four- ORM-Love it or Hate it?

Hello and welcome back once again to our series, CF Camp 2018: Madness in Munich! Throughout the series, we have been discussing hot ticket items that will be discussed at this year’s upcoming CF Camp, the only CF conference in Europe. Today, we will be talking about ORM–or Object Relational Mapping.

CF 2018 ckeditor 4 erases or disallows styles

We recently transferred an application from a server with CF11 with FCKeditor 2.6.4 to CF 2018 with CKeditor 4. Everything seems to be perfect except for one thing. When we load content in CKeditor it erases certain styles such as table cell borders. And if I try to reenter the deleted styles in the source, as soon as a swith back to the wysiwyg view, styles are erased. Very annoying. Is there a filter activated somewhere that filters certain styles? […]

CF18 install for iis

Installing CF18 under Windows 10. Choosing the External Server option, the install package drops me off with “Installation Complete.” Then it tells me I “may now deploy Adobe Coldfusion 2018 to your application server.” I do not get the usual dialog box within the installation routine that allows me to configure my servers (IIS). So, where do I go? What do I further install to get up and running? The installation routine created the folder, ColdFusion2018, which has a text […]
