Send Hayden Panettiere eCards Using Kinky eCards ColdFusion eCard Application

Posted February 22, 2008 at 8:54 AM by Ben Nadel

Tags: ColdFusion

Ever since I created the ColdFusion eCards section of my site, I have gotten periodical requests for the code. It's hard for me to give away portions of my site since the architecture is a bit scattered and highly coupled. However, over the last few days, I have created a very small, extremely light weight ColdFusion eCard application called Kinky eCards. Kinky eCards does not require a database; it stores the eCard data within encrypted XML documents and it gets the image data out of an XML configuration file. The whole application consists of about 15 or 20 total files (not include the generated eCard data files). It can work quite nicely as a stand-alone ecard application or to be integrated into another, existing system.

If you are interested in seeing it in action, I have build a demo site:

If you want to download it, the code is freely available on my Kinky eCards project page. Because I assume that people will take my code and integrate it with existing applications, I don't spend too much time thinking about the architecture. Kinky eCards uses a standard front-controller methodology where all requests are piped through the index.cfm file. It has security in place to make sure that no other files can be executed.

Hope that helps some of the people who had inquired.
