I've created a ColdBox plugin which makes use of JS Calendar of Dynarch.

 

datepicker

 

LIVE SAMPLE (requested by Sana):

JS Calendar Sample

Usage:


<!--- input field 1 --->
<input type="text" id="startDate" name="startDate" value="" />
<img src="includes/img/icons/calendar.gif"
    id="startDate_trigger" style="cursor:pointer;" title="Date selector" />

<!--- input field 2 --->
<input type="text" id="endDate" name="endDate" value="" />
<img src="includes/img/icons/calendar.gif"
    id="endDate_trigger" style="cursor:pointer;" title="Date selector" />
    
<!--- Setup Calender --->
<cfset calendar = getPlugin("Calendar",1)>
<cfset calendar.setInputField('startDate','startDate_trigger','T1')>
<cfset calendar.setInputField('endDate','endDate_trigger')>

<cfoutput>#calendar.render()#</cfoutput>

Downloads:

JS Calendar (unzip and place it in your includes directory. It should look like this: {YOURAPP}/includes/jscalendar/..)

Ant + Subversion - How to list revision numbers

Posted At : September 22, 2008 10:52 PM | Posted By : Ernst van der Linden
Related Categories: Server Side

Today I needed a way to list all revision numbers of a repository.

I came up with the following solution:

Notes:
- svnant required;
- subversion called from command line.


<project name="buildexample" basedir="." default="svn.revisions">
        
    <!-- Setup svnant -->
    <import file="svnant.xml"/>
    
    <!-- Temp -->
    <property name="tempDir" value="C:\\DATA\\TEMP\\${ant.project.name}" />
    
    <!-- svn repo url -->
    <property name="svn.url" value="YOUR REPO URL HERE" />

    <target name="prepare">
        <!-- Create temp directory -->
<mkdir dir="${tempDir}" />
    </target>

    <!-- Set svn.revisions property -->
    <target name="svn.revisions" description="Sets property: svn.revisions" depends="prepare">

        <!-- creates log.xml for reading revisions -->
        <exec executable="svn" outputproperty="svnlog.out" output="${tempDir}\\log.xml" >
            <arg line="log --xml -v ${svn.url}" />
        </exec>
        <xmlproperty file="${tempDir}\\log.xml" collapseattributes="true" />     
        
        <property name="svn.revisions" value="${log.logentry.revision}" />
    
        <echo>${svn.revisions}</echo>
    
        <input message="Select Start Revision" validargs="${svn.revisions}" addproperty="svn.startRevision" />
        <input message="Select End Revision" validargs="${svn.revisions}" addproperty="svn.endRevision" />
    
    </target>

</project>

Please let me know if you think there's better way to list revision numbers.

Railo CFVIDEOPLAYER 'borrowed' from JW FLV MEDIA PLAYER?

Posted At : September 12, 2008 2:39 AM | Posted By : Ernst van der Linden

Railo doesn't mention anything on their site/blog about 'borrowing' the flv-player from Jeroen Wijering.

So please let me know if you see any difference between these flv-players:

ColdBoxProxy and JSON

Posted At : August 24, 2008 4:32 PM | Posted By : Ernst van der Linden
Related Categories: ColdBox,Coldfusion

If you work a lot with JSON and remote calls like me, the following coldboxproxy.cfc code could be handy for you.

<cfcomponent name="coldboxproxy" output="false" extends="coldbox.system.extras.ColdboxProxy">

    <cffunction name="process" output="true" access="remote" returntype="any" hint="Process a remote call and return data/objects back.">
        <cfset var results = "">

            <cftry>
                <!--- Call the actual proxy --->
                <cfset results = super.process(argumentCollection=arguments)>
        
                <!--- JSON ? --->
                <cfif isDefined('arguments.json')>
                    <cfheader name="expires" value="Mon, 03 Sep 1973 00:00:01 GMT">
                    <cfheader name="pragma" value="no-cache">
                    <cfheader name="cache-control" value="no-cache">
                    <cfcontent type="text/html">
                    #getPlugin("JSON").encode(data:results,queryKeyCase:"upper")#     
                <cfelse>
                    <cfreturn results>
                </cfif>

                <cfcatch type="any">#processException(cfcatch)#</cfcatch>
            </cftry>

    </cffunction>
    
    <cffunction name="processException" output="false" access="private" returntype="string" hint="Process exception and returns bugReport">
        <cfargument name="Exception" type="any" required="true" hint="The exception structure (cfcatch)">
        
        <cfset var exceptionService = "">
        <cfset var ExceptionBean = "">        
        <cfset var interceptData = StructNew()>        
        
        <!--- Get Exception Service --->
        <cfset ExceptionService = getController().getExceptionService()>
        
        <!--- Intercept The Exception --->
        <cfset interceptData.exception = arguments.exception>
        <cfset announceInterception('onException',interceptData)>
        
        <!--- Handle The Exception --->
        <cfset ExceptionBean = ExceptionService.ExceptionHandler(arguments.exception,"coldboxproxy","ColdBox Proxy Exception")>                    
        
        <!--- Return rendered bugreport --->
        <cfreturn exceptionService.renderBugReport(ExceptionBean)>
    </cffunction>
    
</cfcomponent>

The URL of your remote call will be something like this:

coldboxproxy.cfc?method=process&json&event=ehCompany.getCompanies

Find a letter on a position in the Alphabet

Posted At : August 22, 2008 4:13 PM | Posted By : Ernst van der Linden
Related Categories: Coldfusion

Just needed a quick way to find a letter in the alphabet on a postion.

So for example, postion 1 returns 'A' and position 26 returns 'Z'.

Step 1: Function

<cffunction name="getAlphabetLetter" access="public" returntype="string">
    <cfargument name="position" type="numeric" required="true">
    
    <!--- Thanks to Ryan and Shane..... --->
    <cfif arguments.position gte 1 and arguments.position lte 26>
     <cfreturn chr(64+arguments.position) />
    <cfelse>
        <cfreturn "not in alphabet">
    </cfif>
    
</cffunction>

 Step 2: Call function

<cfoutput>#getAlphabetLetter(26)#</cfoutput>

returns: Z

BOOKMARKS in Eclipse,OPENS frequently used FILES!

Posted At : August 21, 2008 5:37 PM | Posted By : Ernst van der Linden
Related Categories: ColdBox,Coldfusion,Server Side

Just stumbled upon on article of Luis de la Rosa which explains how to use bookmarks in Eclipse to track important lines of code.

This feaure is really handy for fast opening frequently used files in Eclipse e.g. Transfer.xml.cfm or i18n files.

Am I the only one who never used bookmarks in Eclipse before?
