CFDocument in fontembed

Thu, 04 Apr 2013 08:52:00 -0700

Last 3 days, I'm about to generate one of our reports to PDF with cfdocument but I don't know why our unicode font is missing as displaying "blank" in cfdocument even this font is in my pc. That's why I request my junior to investigate the problem to be solved. After a day, she found how to display unicode font in cfdocument. First of all, we need to install font in our server first. Then, we need to go CFAdmin > Font Management and add installed font into coldfusion to be recognized. After all, we need to add fontembed="yes" in cfdocument as follow.

Remove MSWord comment in Coldfusion

Thu, 27 Dec 2012 02:32:00 -0700

Today, I've got problem because of messy of Microsoft Word comments in our database. It's because of our clients wrote some messages in MsWord and paste these into CFTextarea richtext data. That's why those data cannot be displayed at our project. It's my bad that I have not thought about how to prevent these kind of problems during project development. [More]

Webservices without using cfinvoke

Tue, 14 Aug 2012 22:06:00 -0700

As we all know if webservices of another party using window NT authentication, we cannot use CFInvoke for calling webservices. At that time, we need another 3rd party webservices integrator for coldfusion to access another party. At that time, we need to use CFObject instead of CFInvoke.

	ColdFusion.MessageBox.show(obj + RandCount);
}

To replace javascript alert with CFMessagebox

Thu, 07 Jun 2012 19:27:00 -0700

Before my development, I've already used native javascript alert for client side validation message. Some people might complaint why I used native javascript alert instead of jQuery dialogbox, it's because of I don't want to include so many script tags and CSS tags for jQuery mobile. Today, I've got an idea to replace native javascript alert with cfmessagebox. This function will support to display cfmessagebox instead of javascript alert whenever we have put javascript alert in our coding. [More]

Parsing List Value in Oracle

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 09:32:00 -0700

Being Coldfusion programmer, parsing list value in coldfusion is very simple. If list value is "list1|list2|list3|list4", we can parse with ListToArray in Coldfusion as follow.

Above coding, we must need to assign true for includeEmptyFields if list value will contain empty. In Oracle, it's touch to parse and we need to write Oracle function. [More]

CFIDE with multiple instance

Fri, 23 Dec 2011 23:13:00 -0700

Today I got the problem that I cannot use following sentence in one of my instance.

And hit JS error and don't know why. That's why I just go viewsource and found that CFIDE is missing for one of my CF instances. I cannot convince why Adobe cannot include CFIDE for multiple instances installation. That's why I know there is two ways to solve this bug of Coldfusion multiple instance installation. [More]

So, I am offering this to all of my blog readers. Today is Nov 30, 2011. To get a chance to win the prep kit license, go to the ucertify site and take a look at the available tests. Decide which you would like to take.

Once you've made your choice, come back here and post a comment about which you would like and why you want to take it. Doesn't have to be anything big; just a couple of sentences is fine.

Make sure you either leave a real email address or you are signed in when you leave the comment. You don't need to leave your email address in the text of your comment if you are signed in. I can send you a message via the it toolbox messaging system in that case.

Get IPv6 address

Sun, 27 Nov 2011 03:52:00 -0700

Today, I've found how to get IP address of IPv6. Because we're using IPv6 address in our office and normally so far to use for IPv4 in Window7. That's why I gotta retrieve address of IPv6. On the other hand, CGI variable can retrieve IPv4 address of client machine. How to get IPv6 is as follow. First of all, we need to create Java object first which called "java.net.InetAddress". Then, write as follow. [More]
