CF7 playground

by kai on 08/06/2005

I started my tiny CF7 playground after I found some time to put all this stuff online. If you have a look at http://mx7.bloginblack.de/cf7playground besides the CF_TWOSELECTSRELATEDFF example you'll find another "component" I built: A double thumb slider for CF 7 Flash forms (more about it in my next post...).

Eclipse RB Manager and FarCry 2.3 German localization

by kai on 20/04/2005

I just played with the Eclipse ResourceBundle editor, a nice plugin to edit and update RB files of any kind.

Today I just used it to create an updated version of the German ResourceBundle files for FarCry CMS 2.3. I've just submitted the files to Geoff and guess they'll be in the CVS tree within the next days.

ColdFusion Resource Bundles

by kai on 17/04/2005

If you ever asked yourself how to internationalize or globalize your ColdFusion apps (i18n or g11n), have a look at Jason Sheedy's ColdFusion Resource Bundle Manager. Resource Bundles are the defacto standard to fulfill those tasks in Java applications and FarCry makes use of RBs very intensively. Jason's code is a great way to get your feets dirty with this technology and to get an idea how it works!

Finally I packed my code of the two related CFSELECTs into a more flexible and maintainable custom tag. Feel free to download it, play with it or extend it, basically do whatever you want with it ;) Any comments, feedback, requests etc. very welcome.

Getting rid of whitespace in CF

by kai on 09/04/2005

Whitespace is always an issue with CF. Just today I got mad because I wanted to transfer some variables to Flash using the LoadVars object in Flash. Same issue is always upcoming if you deal with XML. Another issue in my CF 6 on Jrun 4 enterprise installation is that there is no way to enable automatic whitespace management via the CF Admin. While I was surfing around the web to find a nice and…

Dependent CFSELECTS using CF7's Flashforms

by kai on 08/03/2005

While playing with the Flashforms in CF 7 yesterday I nearly went mad as it didn't work easily to have two CFSELECT controls, both published by a particular db query, in which the first allows to select the parent category and the second one displaying a particular set of entries related to the selection of the first select control.
