QuackFuzed.com is the personal ColdFusion coding blog of Matt Quackenbush. It exists primarily as a place for the author to learn, and hopefully to assist others in learning and/or avoiding some of the same pitfalls and mistakes. (Quack certainly makes enough mistakes daily to make up for the entire ColdFusion community.)

IMPORTANT: Uni-Form Tag Library Info

Posted on June 10, 2008 at 7:15 PM in ColdFusion, Uni-Form Tag Library, jQuery

The other day I announced the v2 release of the Uni-Form Custom Tag Library, which contains a number of enhancements and jQuery plugin integrations. One thing *very* important detail that I forgot to mention:

If you are using the Validation plugin, you *must* use jQuery 1.2.2 or higher.

As long as you are using the current release you are fine, since it is at 1.2.6 as of this posting. If you use anything 1.2.1 or earlier, you will have all sorts of JavaScript errors being thrown.

Update

This post only applies to those of you who are loading jQuery on your own. If you are relying on the tags to load jQuery for you, jQuery-1.2.6 is the release that is loaded. :-)

ColdBox: Using 'Persist'

Posted on June 10, 2008 at 5:48 PM in ColdBox, ColdFusion

Back in the ColdBox 2.5.1 release, a new feature was added: persist. Think of it as a sort of "flash memory", allowing your application to "remember" event variables when moving the user to the next event. I was recently asked about this feature, so I figured I would make a quick post about it in an effort to help more people.

In his announcement, Tariq Ahmed, Manager of Product Development, made the following statement:

    • Time Entry
    • Input Masking
    • Validation
  • Path Configuration

Let's look at some of the new goodies in more detail...

ColdBox 2.6 Makes ColdCourse Integration Even Easier

Posted on May 17, 2008 at 7:30 PM in ColdBox, ColdFusion

Awhile back I posted about ColdCourse Integration in ColdBox, and how easy it is to use SES (or "pretty") URLs with ColdBox. Today I was taking a peek at the What's New in ColdBox 2.6 documentation, and down at the very bottom I spotted something that seems so trivial, but is so totally cool that I wanted to be sure to highlight it.

ColdBox 2.6 + AJAX (powered by jQuery) = Sinfully Easy

Posted on May 16, 2008 at 4:48 PM in ColdBox, ColdFusion, jQuery

I've mentioned before that I <3 ColdBox and that I <3 jQuery. Independently of one another, they are just a pleasure to work with. Today I decided to write my first-ever jQuery-powered AJAX functionality inside a ColdBox-powered application. It's ridiculously simple to do - one might even say sinful. So easy in fact, that I decided to post a quick "tutorial" on how to handle a pretty common task with ColdBox and jQuery.

cf.Objective() 2008 Review

Posted on May 16, 2008 at 4:26 PM in ColdFusion

Okay, so I said that I would try and post about the various cf.Objective() sessions. Key word: try. As you've probably figured out, I didn't manage to do so. However, this year I did make it to all the morning sessions that I intended to make it to, which certainly was not the case last year. No, not hung over. I'm nocturnal by nature, and I'm usually in bed asleep in the morning hours, so making it to the morning sessions is a helluva chore.

cf.Objective() 2008

Posted on April 30, 2008 at 4:02 PM in ColdFusion

Well, tomorrow I'm off to Minneapolis for the 2008 installation of cf.Objective(). As I mentioned previously, cf.Objective() is the only conference that I attend. I will try to blog about the sessions I'm in, but I make no promises. Of course, if it's a really boring session, I should be able to make lots of posts. ;-)

Using Mapped Views in ColdBox

Posted on April 14, 2008 at 3:55 PM in ColdBox, ColdFusion

I don't know about you guys, but there are a number of simple, boring view files that are identical across multiple applications. One such example would be a standard user login form. Nothing fancy - it's the same on pretty much all websites. In the past I have always done the ol' copy/paste for these files and had them residing in the directory structure of each application that they were needed in. Well, thanks to ColdBox those days are now gone forever in QuackApps.
