Cold Fusion: necessary?

I'm following training Dreamweaver CS3 by Janine Warner.  I was all set to consider the Advanced training in the same series of training for DW and then I started looking at the course outline and it seems to need cold fusion.  Imagine my dismay in discovering that my "include everything" "Master Collection" for CS3 does NOT include Cold Fusion, (CF)!  Not having not the $$$ for CF, I was wondering if it is meaningless for advanced training.  Thoughts?

I have a few applications which may require a site focused on the database, for example a wedding photographer client that I'm courting.  (A LOT of images, and they change frequently)  One of these extensions include the ability to order?  Consider the scenario of marriage: friends & family will melt right after marriage to buy a few photos and want to order directly online, and this business would fall after a few months to be replaced by other marriages.

I think that there are a few others focus on the data base 'modules' DW will work with, but I'm not familiar with them.  I think that PHP, JSP, ASP and ASP.net were mentioned.  I use the Microsoft Access database. Where can I find more information on these extensions focus on the database to DW?  Are there any that are free?  All work as FC?  What is the best?

Are there other charges, that I am aware of the need for support for a database site?  I have a lot of PC and a fast internet.

Any thoughts appreciated.  I am relatively new to the use of DW, but I learn quickly, and I have the time and motivation to learn.

The trial version and the 'developer edition' are in fact the same program. During installation, you select the option for the developer edition, which is free and has no time limit on its use. You only need to pay a license if you want to manage your own server on the internet. It is intended for companies and large companies that have their own dedicated servers hosting.

However, before commit you to learning about ColdFusion, you should do a little more research on the question of whether it is what you really want. ColdFusion is a powerful technology on the server side, but as Paula, it doesn't have a very large user base. Not all hosting companies offer ColdFusion hosting. If you are interested in developing database-driven sites, you can also consider the possibility to use PHP. It has a much larger user base and is widely available on hosting companies.

Disclosure: I write books on PHP, so my perspective is not necessarily impartial. ColdFusion is very good and it is relatively easy to learn (like PHP). However, it is not easy to go from a technology side server to another, I've learned the hard way when I needed to switch from ASP to PHP, when I realized that ASP developed is no longer.

  • Attachment to the server for handling Cold Fusion

    Is it possible to send an attachment for Cold Fusion to handle.

    Kind of like < cffile action = "upload" > however user is writing the file in Cold Fusion Server.

    The reason for this:

    Now we have an application that reads the data on the users of smart phones and the user sends the file themselves.

    But now we have found in some cases we need to do some manipulation base that Cold Fusion could easily do to clean up the data.

    If user would be electronic data to our server and then server would clean up and send file cleaned up the user.

    If there is nothing in the CF to do this, another language?

    Thank you

    ColdFusion is not a built-in e-mail server, but it can extract e-mails from mail servers via the and tags.  You could then make your own upward on the recovered messages and send back them on via .

  • Cold Fusion 11 debugging question

    Hello

    Attempt to activate the debug option in Cold Fusion 11 in the development environment.

    In the administration of the CF, the "robust Exception enabled" is enabled.

    The following URL shows error screens. These screen do not appear in Cold Fusion 11

    The complete Guide to add it to your ColdFusion Application to error handling | Raymond Camden's blog

    The screen that appears is the:

    500 - error internal server.

    There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

    Y at - it another option to activate?

    Thank you

    The page you see if IIS error page. You'll see this usually when custom error pages have been set up, which is usually by default. You need to change the setting to display detailed errors.

    You can assign it detailed mistakes that will allow all users to see the CF error or assign errors detailed for local requests and custom outdoor errors. This will allow you to see the CF error on the local server, but applications remotely get the default IIS error.

    You can change the setting by opening the IIS management console, select your Web site on the left side, by clicking on the icon of error Pages in the right-hand side and then by clicking "Edit function parameters" in the right pane.

    If it is an internal server used for testing, you can assign a fair bit option detailed errors.

  • Any changes I've made to a cold fusion file is ignored

    I've made a few changes to a CF file, but they are ignored in all my browsers. I even deleted the file from the path and that is ignored in any browser, and it still shows the original file. I tried this on 2 servers different cold fusion 9 and 10 with the same results.

    I can think of 2 reasons:

    (1) wrong path: the path of the file you are editing is different from the corresponding to the URL path you open in the browser. Check this. Rename the file temporarily and see what happens when you open the URL in a browser.

    (2) caching: what the browser keeps opening could be a cached version of the page. Launch the ColdFusion Administrator and go to the settings of the Server => Caching. Make sure the Save class filesoption is not checked. Press the Submit Changes button

  • Cold Fusion 11 updated image page does not appear

    Hello


    Cold Fusion 11, when I first to show a graphic image page appears.

    When I refresh the page, the image does not appear.

    This isn't a problem with Cold Fusion 9.

    Is there anything in the administration, which must be configured?

    Thank you

    Mike

    If you open the Management Console IIS, go to the site you want to check, more on the right where are the actions to stop and restart there is a link "trace request failed. Click here to open and activate it.

      

    Once this option is activated, you can return to the "Home" part in IIS where are all the configuration icons. If the module is installed as part of IIS, you will have an icon has no rules of the follow-up request to open.

    If this isn't there, then you will need run the management of server and add it to the IIS role on the server.

    Inside of here you can add content to the trace. Click the Add button on the right side and keep the ' all the content of the "selected and then on the next page, enter the status code you get. Apply to all suppliers on the last page and click Finish.

    Now, if you visit the page you have the problem and get the 500 error, a record of the request may log and you can find it (by default) in the directory in the screenshot above.

    They are xml files who wrote which you can open in a browser. It shows you all the steps, through the processing of the page and I hope you show where she stops and give you the reason.

    Not always guaranteed, and sometimes mistakes can be really obscure. The fact that you have problems with images rather than an actual page can mean it does not work, but until you try it you don't know.

  • Coloration of the Cold Fusion code messed up in DW CC 20141

    With DW CC 20141 was last updated the code coloring seems to be spoiled for the Cold Fusion code. Especially the comments. How can I get back the beautiful gray color to the observations of Cold Fusion, rather than black, it's now? I was hoping that you would bring back more support for your own code product, but instead of this, looks like you take further. Very disturbing.

    I went here:

    2014.1\en_US\Configuration\CodeColoring\Colors.XML \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC C:\Users\[user name]

    and update of this line:

    something, I preferred (hated the old yellow color)

  • Use JQuery Datepicker in Cold Fusion

    How use jquery Datepicker in a cfm application used iframe? where should I link reference css and script?

    It would be nice if you tell people you already asked this on Stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15756532/use-jquery-datepicker-in-cold-fusion).

    This has nothing to do with ColdFusion. JQuery runs on the client browser, and does not interact with the ColdFusion server.

    You would use the datepicker in exactly the same way as you would on a flat HTML page.

  • Cold Fusion

    Can I host a Web site Cold Fusion on the creative cloud as part of my subscription?

    Hey there. # Creative cloud is the file storage and BC is a software as a CMS solution. You can not install other server software.

  • This course uses Cold Fusion.

    I'm at the point where I need to decide what to know, iPhone SDK or flash catalyst vs builder.

    If this course is with Cold Fusion?

    I have no opinion on the iPhone SDK, but I suggest that you learn Flash Builder, if you consider yourself a programmer and Flash Catalyst if you consider yourself to be a designer. Some people will probably be passed between programs, because they can work together.

    The Flex in a week training series (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/videotraining/) will teach you Flash Builder. You can learn about Flash Catalyst in the getting started (http://www.adobe.com/support/flashcatalyst/gettingstarted/index.html) page.

    Regarding your question SEE: Yes, Flex in a week using ColdFusion for the backend, but that is irrelevant. The series is set up so that the focus is on the Flex code. You can use any backend technology.

    If you are already a ColdFusion developer who wants to get oriented to the development of Flex, you can start with the articles and tutorials on this page:

    http://www.Adobe.com/devnet/flex/flex_cf.html

    There are similar pages for PHP, Java and .NET developers:

  • Communication of Cold Fusion

    Cold Fusion connect with Perl/CGI or there another way to dso.

    Sure... what should you do?  CF can perform HTTP requests, or consume web services; It may also expose web services, and of course we can make HTTP requests for resources in the CF.

    It is difficult to answer your question without having an idea of what you need to do, if.
