I have a user who registered at our site with this email address:

poòor@123xyz.com

my cfmail tag looks like this:



I get this error: Attribute validation error for tag CFMAIL. The value of the attribute to, which is currently poòor@123xyz.com, is invalid.

Can people have extended characters in their email address? If so, why is this tag failing?
Do I have to do pre-processing on the email address before sending?

Thanks!

I asked FuseTalk's customer service if they support other CFML engines.

This was their answer:

"We believe that some companies have successfully run FuseTalk on these engines, but FuseTalk does not include these engines in the list of supported environments."

So I was wondering if anyone out there uses FT under Railo or BlueDragon or other CMFL engine.

Thanks!

Just to give you a little background on my situation.

I've inherited a very old CF site that's coded very very badly.

Recently, we had a severe crash and let's just say we upgraded the whole box.

We went from 2GB Ram and CF8 to 4gb Ram and CF9 on a Win2k3 R2 box running IIS6.

We've had some crashes after that regarding the JVM OutOfMemory Garbage Collecting.

I've since, tweaked the JVM startup and it's stable so far.

My question is this: jrun.exe is pinned at 1.19GB ram right now. Is this sorta high? The site is very well trafficked. We sustain anywhere from 200-700 people at a time at all hours of the day.

I'm wondering if there's something else I can do to help minimize the ram usage of jrun. Not even sure it's even necessary, but I wanted to throw this question out there to the CF universe :)

Thanks for your input!

After using CFBuilder 1.x (yes I have the update) for sometime now, I'm this close to going back to Dreamweaver CS4 due to CFBuilder's poor poor performance.

After convincing my client to shell out for the IDE, I'm feeling kinda guilty.

I consistently get "(Not Responding)" in the application title bar. My curor goes into an infinite loop of circles and I just wait....and wait...and wait.

It's as if the more files you throw at a CF project, the more it gets bogged down.

I was working swimmingly with CFBuilder in the beginning, with a small project. No problems..everything was copacetic.

Now I had to go out and grab a live site and bring it down to my desktop. Get it working in my local dev environment, then check it into SVN.

First, the FTP client within the app is really slow and buggy. I ended up getting FileZilla and haven't looked back.

Now the project with close to 56gb of code and images to track feels like a tanker ship. I can't go between directories smoothly. The IDE constantly wants to update it's index or something. I have one directory with about 500 image files or more and CFBuilder takes forever to show me the content in it's tree structure. Very Very Very annoying and slow.

I'm going to give CFBuilder a little bit more time before I ask for my money back from Adobe for the sake of my client's bank account.

This is just ridiculous...argh!

Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

I'm having a hairpulling time right now trying to reinstall CF8 on a Windows 2k3 box running IIS6.
Everything installs fine up until I get to the CF Admin screen to load for the first time.

I get hit with:

Connection Interrupted
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

But I can serve up simple html files from the site just fine.

What am I missing during the install?

I've inherited a very old version of Fuse Talk forums, and I went to their website to get some support using their forums (yes they eat their own dog food). And in looking at the number of posts and the dates, it looks like this software is pretty defunct. I think the last post was sometime in 2008 or 2009. For a forum product not having an updated forum really raises some eyebrows with me.

Plus, have you seen what they're charging for their product? ==:O

I think I hear Galleon calling in the near distance :)

I make a simple change to a file and use the Aptana FTP client built in to push the file and I can literally wait over 30 seconds for the file to get pushed. What's the issue? Is it a config on my end? Is it the FTP client? I'm better off using something like filezilla and do a drag and drop.

It seems to be scanning every file before it finds what it's looking for. If I'm 3 levels deep the console shows that it's scanning the above levels...omg...

I think this is a simple task, but I haven't seen any examples of this on the web (or I haven't looked hard enough).

How do you send custom information with a Paypal button click? Let's assume I want to send an email address or userID or UUID with a payment for tracking. After they do all their processing at paypal's site, I want that tracking variable to be available on the receiving thankyou.cfm page hosted at my site.

Right now it's done via the logged in person's session ID. They have to be logged in, have to have a session scoped ID available and the thank you page will update the DB based on this criteria.

I'd like to change this from a session scoped variable to a coded variable sent from the get go.

Is this possible? Is it as simple as adding a hidden form field ?

Thanks in advance to all you paypal ninjas :)

"Search Engine Optimization for the ColdFusion Developer"

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker) In today's world, the bulk of our traffic to the websites we create comes from search engines. And with the exception of failed business models burning through VC money, more traffic equals more money. But few developers bother to do even basic search engine optimization, which can dramatically improve their websites performance on Google and the like. The good news is that the basics of SEO is relatively easy to do, especially inside of most CFML applications. We'll go over the fundamentals of SEO and how you can easily integrate these principals into your application. We'll also discuss some free programs you can use to track your progress, and some other techniques to keep you in Google's good graces.
