ColdFusion Scripts

We really don't have the time to answer email questions about any of this software anymore. The best place to ask questions about any of software relating to ColdFusion is generally at the old CF-TALK mailing list at houseoffusion.com, or it's nntp mirror news.fuseware.com.

This is the beginnings of an XML-based distributed CF Community site. ;-) Don't bother downloading it unless you're one of the people who was wanting to pitch in and build it. Unless you want to.

This custom tag (unencrypted plain CFML) will scan a folder and all it's sub-folders, etc looking for MS Access database files (*.mdb). When it finds them it will automatically add a datasource for them using their filename for their datasource name.

What that means in simpler terms is that it will automatically add every single Access database you have into the ColdFusion Administrator / Data sources / ODBC / panel. Just click.

This custom tag will scan a folder and all it's sub-folders, etc looking for *.DLL FILES. When it finds them it will automatically add them to the CFX custom tags list using the filename as the tag name.

People have bugged me for this, so here it is. Stripped of all NDA or other commercial info, and most of the bookmarks deleted. And looking kinda shabby. This is the set of CFM page I use localhost to track my projects (in subfolders) and keep my bookmarks. Unzip it into your http root and setup a dns for localhost.mdb.

You'll probably want to customize this a lot, but it's useful if you're just starting out.

Note that it looks for .htaccess files in any sub-folders and will show a SECURE graphic for them, if found.

UPDATE: New "Yellow" version with more advanced bookmarking features. I'm in the middle of rewritting the projects and security code so... none of that really works right now. Sorry.

NEW UPDATE: New November 2000 version. This is another zip of the entire folder. The database has been cleaned of NDA, etc information and some parts rely on the way I've got other local websites lain out to work (ie, go up and back down into wwwroot.current\intrafoundationcom\ and there's the entire intrafoundation.com web site folder. Also all the auto-project handling assumes you've got a network card with certain ip addresses set up fo web. See wwwroot.cfm for how it uses CFX_IIS to set up a few web sites.) It otherwise should work on your system as is.

NEW NEW UPDATE: New March 2001 zip.

For a while around the beginning of 1999 I was working on a hobby project that was a complete, modular website package for hosting companies. I was working on this mainly because I'd previously worked on building a similiar site for a hosting company. It was originally to be a commerical product, but after a while I lost financial interest in completing the project.

This code has served as a canniblizable base for other websites since, but otherwise it's been left in a 60-70% unfinished state since then. The original archive was 25MB in size.

Note that the front end of the site is auto-generated by the cfm in the administration sections. The html is also auto-regenerated by special events and holidays, etc. By pressing one or two buttons the entire layout of the site would change drawing all content from the database. So... that said, the archive here (the last snapshot of the project) seems to have an incomplete rebuild of one of the test sites.

It was a long time ago. Hard to say more than that.

What was to become the Intranet/Hosting Toolkit was originally created specifically for this project. IHTK lives on, but the project it ws created for was shelved.

Some years back now (when the world was young) I coded a little site known as javascripts.com. At the time it was owned by some folks who were moving out of producing promotional CD-ROMs and floppy discs for mid to large-sized companies. They were interested in building websites for these companies, specificially ones backed with spiffy javascript. As I'd been busy trying to create the javascript guild at the time (jsguild.org) it seemed natural that we hooked up. Somewhere along the way they decided a redesign of this primary website into something community-based would be a good idea. ...

Available Soon... As time is available.

A very, very old (ie, version 3.x) ColdFusion based forums system based very loosely on the original from javascripts.com back before it was bought out and overhauled.
