I saw an error like this when I included something twice that could only be
included once without breaking the code.

I have not - but you can isolate it in your application by putting <CFABORT>
at the start of the section you think it may be happening in and then move
the abort down farther into your code, saving and retrying until you pin
down the location.

HI,
you have to fix the bug in your radio tag ,at first!
radio buttons who are in the same group have to have the same name.

There is also a quit bug in the loop for the accountid!
What's happen if a accountID not exists?
Pherhaps someone delete the dataset with the accountID 1
In this Case it's better to loops over the query.

You have two options, to get the right plant for the accountid
Varaint A you loop over the formFields
Variant B you loop against over the getaccountQuery.

I have made a snippet for both. I also made a snippet for the form:
<form name="postForm" method="post">
<cfoutput>
	 <cfloop query="getaccounts">
		 #getaccounts.accountID#:
		 <cfloop index = "plant" from = "1" to = "6" step="1">
			 <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant_#getaccounts.accountid#" VALUE="#plant#"
alt="#plant#" title="#plant#">
		 </cfloop><br>


	 </cfloop>


</cfoutput>
<input type="submit" value="send">
</form>

<cfif cgi.REQUEST_METHOD is "post">
	 <cfdump var="#form#">
	 <cfoutput>
	 <h1>Variante A</h1>
	 <cfloop collection="#form#" item="formname">
		 <cfif listlen(formname,"_") is 2 and listfirst(formname,"_") is "plant">
			 AccountID #listgetat(formname,2,"_")# has plant #form[formname]#<br>
		 </cfif>
	 </cfloop>
	 <h1>Variante B</h1>
	 <cfloop query="getaccounts">
		 AccountID #getaccounts.accountid#
		 <cfif structkeyExists(form,"plant_#getaccounts.accountid#")>
			 has plant #form["plant_#getaccounts.accountid#"]#
		 <cfelse>
			 hasn't a plant_ID!
		 </cfif><br>
	 </cfloop>
	 </cfoutput>
</cfif>

Reference form.formfields (I believe that's what it's called, <cfdump
var=#form#> if not)

Or....

<cfloop index = "accountid" from = "1" to = "#getaccounts.recordcount#">
<cfloop index = "plant" from = "1" to = "6">

<CFSET key="plant#plant#_#accountid#">
#form[key]#

</cfloop>
</cfloop>

I have 750 accountid's that are each assigned to one of six mfg. plantid's.

Given that radio button names must be unique within a group, I have:

<cfloop index = "accountid" from = "1" to = "#getaccounts.recordcount#">
<cfloop index = "plant" from = "1" to = "6">

	 <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant#plant#_#accountid#" VALUE="1">
	 <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant#plant#_#accountid#" VALUE="2">
	 <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant#plant#_#accountid#" VALUE="3">
	 <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant#plant#_#accountid#" VALUE="4">
	 <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant#plant#_#accountid#" VALUE="5">
	 <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant#plant#_#accountid#" VALUE="6">

</cfloop>
</cfloop>

How do I read the output????

#form.plant[1-6]_[1-750]#

????

Given that radio names must be unique per grouping, I need a method for parsing
and querying the accountid from a given radio button name, as in:

<cfif plantid eq 1>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
	 <INPUT ID="group1" TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant1_#accountid#" VALUE="1" checked>
	 <INPUT ID="group1" TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant1_#accountid#" VALUE="2" >
	 <INPUT ID="group1" TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant1_#accountid#" VALUE="3">
</cfif>
<cfif plantid eq 2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
	 <INPUT ID="group2" TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant2_#accountid#" VALUE="1" checked>
	 <INPUT ID="group2" TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant2_#accountid#" VALUE="2" >
	 <INPUT ID="group2" TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant2_#accountid#" VALUE="3">
</cfif>
<cfif plantid eq 3>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
	 <INPUT ID="group3" TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant3_#accountid#" VALUE="1" checked>
	 <INPUT ID="group3" TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant3_#accountid#" VALUE="2" >
	 <INPUT ID="group3" TYPE=RADIO NAME="plant3_#accountid#" VALUE="3">
</cfif>

<cfset parsed_accountid = [parse #plant(1,2 or 3)_#accountid# to "accountid"]>

	 <CFQUERY
	 Name="getaccounts"
	 Datasource="#sales.dsn#"  >
	 SELECT
	  *
	 FROM accounts
	 where accountid = #parsed_accountid#
	 </CFQUERY>

Thanks!

Casey,



That looked promising, but I have CF 8. When I checked on sandbox security,
it is only available in the enterprise version - not in my version.  Thanks.

You can limit datasources by using SandBox Security. I believe this was a
v7.0 and up option on Adobe Coldfusion.

http://livedocs.
<http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/
wwhelp.htm?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00001766.htm>
adobe.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?contex
t=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00001766.htm

By default, ColdFusion pages in this sandbox can access all data sources.

*Note: * If <<ALL DATASOURCES>> is in the Enabled Datasources column, any
data source that you add when creating this sandbox is enabled. If you move
<<ALL DATASOURCES>> to the Disabled Datasources column, any new data source
is disabled.
Click the CFTags tab.

So it could still take some effort to make sure ALL of your websites are
setup correctly, because you need to make sure other areas are locked down
correctly like tag execution along with file access etc. But it's a much
more secure route to go.

I'd put them in an Application file and then reference the variables in
the CFQUERY tags.  You could even do a global search-n-replace of
"<cfquery" with:
<CFQUERY username="#Request.QUserid#" password="#Request.QPassword#"
to make things go easier.

At the moment, the username/password is specified; however, this is an
interesting idea.  Is it possible to specify the username/password for the
data sources in an Application.cfc file?  I've got so much code that I would
have to rewrite that it makes it virtually impossible to do it if I have to
remove the usernames / password from CFIDE/administrator and then put them
into each query.

If all the data sources do not have the User ID and Password configured,
the CFM templates will be require to specify those values in order to
make the database connection.

I have a few websites which I host which are not Coldfusion sites.  In
general, we provide a content management solution, and our hosted sites do
not access code or directly ftp anything.  We do have a handful which work
like traditionally hosted sites.  I want to limit their access to
Coldfusion.  Specifically, I want to ensure that they could not tap into
database resources which are available to other sites.



This may be an IIS question, but I'm not sure where to start to disable CF
for these sites.

Okay you can shoot me for this, but beware that its common in some Asian
cultures to put the family name first as this is more important.

:-)

Nothing like human nature to get in the way of sensible logic.

I guess I should check my code before posting it. This was tested.

 // Make sure that the array is 2 elements in length
 if(arrayLen(arrName) gt 1)
 {
  firstName = arrName[1];
  lastName = arrName[arrayLen(arrName)];
  // check for suffix (remove periods ex. (Jr.))
  // the array has to be greater 2
  if(listFindNoCase(varSuffixNames, rePlaceNoCase(lastName, ".", "", "All"))

It gets worse when you think that some people have 2 forenames as well:

Carol Ann
Ann Marie

etc.

Not everyone hyphenates them.

Plus beware that

It is fairly simple but of course, you will run into instances where the
last name is two names (can't think of any examples, but O Brien without the
apostrophe comes to mind or any name with 'van' come to mind).  Then it can
become tricky...   Of course then you also have to consider the "Jr.  II,
III" suffixes...

Perhaps this is the easiest way save the exceptions to the rules....

<cfscript>
     if (listLen(varName, " ") is 2)
{
         fName = listFirst(varName," ");
         lName = listLast(varName, " ");
}
     else
{
     exception code goes here.
}

Try one method and accept an argument (cfargument) and pass in one of
those 38 types.

I have a variable record with 38 record types.  Each record contains 27 fields,
but what each field means depends on the record type.

So to format the output line, I have a Function.cfc module to handle each of the
38 types individually, but I was looking for a shortcut to invoking the
components within the Function.

However, I cannot seem to find a way to have the method field in the cfinvoke
act on the name as a variable....that is, translated to  a particular function.

I guess I'm just lazy, but I was looking for a way to populate the method field
in a cfswitch statement, then have 1 cfinvoke.

Am I doomed to 38 cfinvoke statements where the only difference is the method?

If you upgrade to Apache 2.2.14, you will need to make a slight alteration to
the httpd.conf file in order for cfm templates to render correctly instead of
displaying the source code.

Locate:
AddHandler jrun-handler .jsp .jws

Change to:
AddHandler jrun-handler .jsp .jws .cfm .cfml .cfc .cfr .cfswf

The problem is that nothing is 100% secure if placed on the Internet.

One option you can use is to serve up the image with a CFM template
using cfcontent.  Before serving the image, verify that the user has the
correct permissions to view it.

The images contain sensitive business information.  We don't want this
information to land in the wrong hands.  It's not an issue of just
watermarking the issue as that I need to make it impossible for somebody to
get to it unless I meant for them to.

I found something this morning on a proxy server redirect.  I do n't fully
understand what I'm looking at yet, but it looks promising.

Can you watermark the images being shown to the public?  Ben Nadel has a
very nice write up on how to do this on CF8.

Subject: [coldfusion-howto] coldfusion, IIS and hotlink prevention - how
to secure images




I'm looking for some general guidance - the answers may be Coldfusion
related or might be more server/software related (i.e. might be off
topic a
bit).

I have some image asset which I want to protect. I want the images to
only
be shown within a web page on my server and more specifically to be
called
on by a flash animation. I want to make double sure that nobody can call
up
the image directly or show the image from another website. I would set
the
robots.txt file not to index the directory where these images reside.

On an Apache server, I would have htaccess to help me accomplish this,
but I
have Windows IIS. As near as I can tell, my choices are somewhat limited
-
software based solutions on the server which would do the job. I would
appreciate input on other approaches.

Possible scenario: The website
http://www.mywebsite.com/index.cfm?template=gallery
<http://www.mywebsite.com/index.cfm?template=gallery>
<http://www.mywebsite.com/index.cfm?template=gallery&id=1234
<http://www.mywebsite.com/index.cfm?template=gallery&id=1234> > &id=1234

A hacker does a view source and sees that the photo gallery calls an xml
file. The hacker then downloads the xml file and sees the path to the
images. The hacker could then download the images one by one. I've done
things like this to get directly to images on webshots.com and
smugmug.com.
Did it mostly to see if I could - want to prevent someone like me from
doing
the same thing.

What options do you know of that would prevent anyone from getting
directly
to my images by typing in
http://www.mywebsite.com/myimages/1234_myimage999.jpg
<http://www.mywebsite.com/myimages/1234_myimage999.jpg>  ?

Also, maybe I could serve up the images without the flash animation, but
create a cryptic session based name for the images or the path to the
images
that couldn't be called outside the session? I have a general idea that
this is possible in PHP but no idea how to implement in either PHP or
Coldfusion. I think is generally how the bank would prevent someone from
downloading your bank statement without being logged in as you.
