Many of you may already be aware that we are running a pre-release public beta for ColdFusion (2018 release). This post is to give you a heads up that ColdFusion (2018 release), slated to be released in the second half of this year, will only have upgrade pricing available from ColdFusion (2016 release). If you are on ColdFusion 11 or earlier, then you will not be eligible for the upgrade pricing.
At CF Webtools we recently went through a round of server upgrades to handle the Authorize.net ending support for older TLS versions. Now USPS, United State Postal Service, is doing the same thing with their Shipping APIs. This is going to be happening for all API’s and most likely all this year as PCI requirements for ending support for TLS 1.1 and older at the end of June 2018. This is according to the PCI Security Standards Council. USPS will […]
***NOTE: This document was originally created by a member of the ColdFusion Engineering Team*** Sometimes it is useful to know the real-time load on a ColdFusion Server. One way to get this information is through cfstat, which displays the relevant information at CF server/Tomcat level. Another way to get this information is through Status worker, which displays the information at Webserver/Connector level. A status worker is a special type of worker which does not communicate with Tomcat. Instead, it gathers configuration and […]
I’ve been using ColdFusion since the Allaire days and with so many people saying ColdFusion is dead, I’m glad to see that Adobe is keeping things alive. I’m also happy to see a site like this where people can come and find answers, post solutions, and just get general knowledge about ColdFusion because a Google search can be a bit aggravating. Keep up the good work Adobe.
Saw the announcement for this user group meeting on my Twitter feed this morning so wanted to pass along. You do not have to be in Seattle to attend as these meetings are streamed each month. The topic this month is creating API’s via ColdFusion and is given by Chris Straight of Online Metals. The online start time is 6:30 Pacific so plan accordingly. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/may-2018-seattle-coldfusion-user-group-meeting-tickets-45127194654

We announced the new ColdFusion Community Portal, last year. We have been maintaining the ColdFusion Blog and ColdFusion Community portal in parallel. In an endeavor to serve you better on a single platform, we have decided to redirect ColdFusion Blog to ColdFusion Community Portal. All the existing blogs/comments can now be accessed via the community portal as well. Only a few “subscribe” comments have not been updated on the posts available on the community portal. The changes will be implemented on […]

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. Related ticket: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4187503 Please add your comments here and/or on that ticket. Please vote your opinion. Thanks!, -Aaron
