• Tracking Request Volume Based On IP Addresses In ColdFusion

  Posted on Nov 5, 2009 at 7:31 PM

  @Ben Well it goes like this: every request fires a method that will purge/reset the whole struct if needed, then after that occurs will check the ip etc, removing it from the struct if it should be ejected. It the records this new request made, then finally checks to see if the ip has reach... read more »

• Tracking Request Volume Based On IP Addresses In ColdFusion

  Posted on Nov 5, 2009 at 4:39 PM

  Hi Ben, All requests are purged if needed on request start via purgeRequestsIfNeeded() (Which in turn fires resetRequests() if conditions are met) Also within manageRequests() which is the overall checking method, induvidual ones are removed if needed via deleteRequestByIp(ip, in... read more »

• jQuery's is() Method Checks For Any Matching Elements

  Posted on Oct 1, 2009 at 7:00 PM

  For that example wouldnt you do: var p = $('p'); p.filter('.cool').css( 'background-color', 'gold' ); Because by doing: if (p.is('.cool')) { p.css( 'background-color', 'gold' ); } You only check to see if there is some '.cool' p's available and so when yo... read more »

• Ask Ben: Extracting And Resizing A ZIP Archive Full Of Images With Coldfusion

  Well hope that helps Ben - I never had problems with the image operations, only when I went to actually save them to disk. Even though sometimes CF would report as though it was an operation issue...... read more »

• Ask Ben: Extracting And Resizing A ZIP Archive Full Of Images With Coldfusion

  Posted on Aug 31, 2009 at 7:17 PM

  Just a tip, thus far we cannot save images properly with built in CF8 save features - tag or function based, without getting all sorts of random errors... :( However I use something like this to save which so far has fixed all random errors: <!--- when save is needed, imageSource i... read more »

  LOL that was good! btw I think with this quote you should be an advert for adobe: "So I took a moment and thought about my life. I program in ColdFusion. It's probably the best language in the world. And what's better, I get paid to do it; how awesome is that? I make money doing things... read more »

• Is It Time For "Practical" Object Oriented Programming (OOP)?

  Posted on Mar 30, 2009 at 11:34 PM

  I think going for what is practical is the point there and thus what makes youre code cleaner and more maintaible/logical... But for some things such as speed, sometimes there is trade offs. Like CF is really slow for any large amount of CFC objects compared to native OO languages, so for record... read more »

• Applying Flattened CSS To XHTML For Use In Remote Environments

  Posted on Mar 10, 2009 at 5:32 PM

  Looks like a really nice idea Ben, looking forward to where this goes... :) Also I wouldn't worry to much with handling CSS hacks or anything like that as they are not going to work inline in an email client anyway.

  Posted on Feb 16, 2009 at 7:36 PM

  @Brian Yeah, good that they have that, but looks to me like those are CF8 docs and when I was first learning CFCs with CF7 I never saw anything about it. @Ben / Brian Yeah what I was meaning is say you have: Application.cfc index.cfm onSessionStart() { sessio... read more »
