A simple Fusebox reset function

I am always forgetting the application URL for resetting fusebox frameworks, so instead of having to type out the entire fuseaction url, and appending the load variables, and the parsing variables you can create a fuse action for it.

The code above will build the URL using the fuse action variable (IE 'action=' or whatever you have specified). It also uses the fusebox password set in your Application.cfc.

There may be a small security risk involved with this, so don't use an obvious name for the function. Also they would need your fusebox password.

Even then thought the only potential issue I can see with this is that someone may empty your framework cache and rebuild your application. Which isn't all that bad?

I was recently looking at a way of people selecting many records from a data display. You know the usual table layout of data, populated with a query object. I decided on a column of checkboxes so that a user could select multiple records. The only issue with this was that it is not the most visible indicator of whether a record is selected.

So I thought I would add a JavaScript function to change the table row background colour, to show selected records.

Firstly here is a simple mock up of a table, populated with a list.

The table rows are alternately coloured based on a basic odd/even check. This value is also passed to the function, as if we uncheck the record we want the row to return to its original colour.

Next we have the JavaScript function that each checkbox is running when it is clicked. The 'row_color' function uses the 'this' variable to work back up two elements using the 'parentNode' function. This targets the table row (tr) tag, and changes its colour to whichever value is set at the top of the script. There are two colour off values as the table rows are alternately coloured, and we want them to return to their original colour when unselected.

During a batch process that I was writing recently I was using a CFfile operation to rename some files.

When running it I came across this error message:

This is the calling cfml code. The actual variable values aren't important.

So I checked and doubled check the source url, and manually browsed to the directory and viewed it. The file was right there! I had a wander around online and found that this isn't a new issue, but more a bad error report.

The error isn't actually relating to the 'source' attribute at all, but rather the 'destination' attribute. In this case it was a file/folder permissions problem. (I didn't have write access). It was simply a case of Coldfusion server reporting it incorrectly.
