Coldfusion
“New” Project - CFOpenID
Brian Rinaldi’s ColdFusion Open Source Update for this week linked to one new project I’m very interested in. CFOpenID, not to be confused with OpenID or the OpenID Actionpack for Model-Glue, is a new project released January 18th, 2007 which managed to stay under the radar. Unfortunately the example on their site seems to forward [...]
Pagerank of ColdFusion sites
One Firefox extension I’ve always had installed is the SearchStatus extension (I wouldn’t recommend running it at work though, as the Alexa stats can be skewed by a single developer hitting a page repeatedly). I’ve had a few sites throughout the years, none too popular, but to my surprise today I noticed the pagerank on [...]
Coldbox 2.0 Final Released
If you’re interested in checking out ColdBox, Luis released version 2.0 earlier today. For a framework that doesn’t get too much press it’s amazingly mature, with more documentation than any other I’ve come across (aside from those techspedition Fusebox books that have outdated practices). The sample applications that come with the framework offer even more [...]
Setting Up Smith, the latest free ColdFusion Server
If you’re like me, you hear about a lot of new CFM servers but never go beyond reading the reviews. I admit it, I’ve never installed Bluedragon, Railo, Coral or (until recently) Smith Project. A recent post on CFDan.com plus a mention of Smith Project on Helms and Peters Out Loud had me [...]
ColdFusion 8 (Scorpio) is Coming
It seems this is the first week ColdFusion 8 is hitting headlines everywhere — and it’s still in a closed beta! I’m sure it won’t be long until there’s a public beta, but until then there are a slew of released features from official usergroup presentations and Ben Forta’s blog. Here’s a quick highlight [...]
Recommend Coldfusion for Dreamhost
Talking with someone from work today about my webhost had me investigating some of the many features that have gone unused on my account. They have great support — either through tickets or their wiki, subversion wherever and whenever you want, the ability to one click install loads of things, you can install trac, Ruby [...]
Bringing Mediums Together
Sean Corfield mentioned it, but I thought I’d mention it at well - there’s no Coldfusion Weekly this week. I hadn’t realized it, but it’s quickly become a must-listen podcast for me, usually on Mondays. A few times I think I’ve grabbed it on Sunday night I believe too.
They mentioned in their last episode [...]
Coldfusion Community on Fire
I really could of had a future in writing cheesy headlines for newspapers. Although this blog tends to be more for new ideas so much has been happening in the past week related to Coldfusion, it seems proper to give an update post on a few very interesting developments which I can see being extremely [...]
ColdCourse: Search Engine Safe URLs for Fusebox, Mach-II, Model-Glue and ColdBox
One thing that’s always been left out of Coldfusion frameworks (with the exception of Coldfusion On Wheels) is URL handling. This is a big thing. It’s not essential for making an application, and it certainly can be a time drain to get URLs just right. Ruby on Rails started a trend in controlling URLs not [...]
Coldbox, another great solution?
I don’t know why but I never really gave Coldbox a chance when it came out. That was still around the time before I started blogging or just investigating for fun, so I never read up on it the way of some other recent frameworks. Taking a look at it now on Luiz Majano’s blog [...]
