Hi Adobe, This CF Community Portal has usability issues: I cannot tell if I’ve already viewed a thread. I cannot tell if a thread has had activity since the last time I viewed it. I cannot subscribe to email notifications. I cannot search for threads (the search tool at top only returns 7 results, instead of all results) I cannot paginate thru the Q&A results to a specific ‘page’. I have to keep clicking a “load more” button that just […]
Hi CF Community, I’d like to get your opinions. Would you prefer CF’s member functions to be type-specific or type-casting? Currently they are type-specific. These work: myString.dateTimeMemberFunction() myString.numericMemberFunction() myNumber.stringMemberFunction() myXMLAttribute.structMemberFunction() myXMLNode.arrayMemberFunction() These fail: myDateTime.stringMemberFunction() myDateTime.numericMemberFunction() myNumber.dateTimeMemberFunction() If they were Type-Casting, then “stringy” member functions would work on any simple variable just as their BIF counterparts do.

Hi CF Community, I’d like to get your opinions. Would you prefer final variables to be immutable or not? Currently, a “final” variable just means you cannot make the reference point to something else. However, who would find it more useful if “final” meant the data structure pointed by it will not be mutable? Example: `final myVar = {foo=”bar”}; myVar.foo = “baz”` Who would prefer that to not throw an exception (current behavior) or to throw an exception? Thanks!, -Aaron
The public beta of ColdFusion 2018 was released today (Apr 16), and that’s great news. This is not a post about what IS new but instead about how you can find that out for yourself. UPDATE and some great news on this After I posted this entry, Saurav from Adobe did in fact address overnight nearly every concern I had raised in the original post here. Thanks for that fast response! 🙂 So, much of what I said below about “concerns” […]
As with each release of CF, there are the things that will get lots of attention or promotion, and then there are the little things that may be just the thing to make a developer’s life easier. That’s the case with a little hidden gem in ColdFusion 2018 called “named parameters”.
We’ve all seen the hell of old legacy code in our ColdFusion applications. Non-framework code, spaghetti code, duplicate code, or unused code (Deadwood)… it’s all the same. Maintenance efficiency is a thing of the past and code usefulness is gone. How do you move from that legacy hell to a heaven of modern CFML with easier maintenance and deployment, fewer bugs, and streamlined code? Fear not! There is a way, and it’s easier than you think. What is Legacy ColdFusion […]

So I have two websites… www.mydomain.com and myapp.mydomain.com. The www. site is located in the C:/Inetpub/wwwroot folder. The myapp. site is located in the C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/myapp folder. IIS serves both websites perfectly. (I’m running IIS on Windows Server 2012 R2, btw). The problem I’m having is that both sites need to access the C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/myCfFiles folder. The www. site, of course, sees the myCfFiles as a subfolder so www.mydomain.com/myCfFiles will let me access my CF files… But the myapp. site cannot see C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/myCfFiles, because […]
