adding a field to a Mach II form

Stuff I'm working on, mach ii
Ok, since I have to get caught up once and for all, I started tinkering with the contact manager sample app of Dave Shuck's. My coworker, Brandon, had added a little to it, so I started tinkering with that version. So, I was challenged to add a field to the contact side of it. (Currently, there are users, and contacts) After about an hour's worth of work, (mainly just getting a better feel for how things run) I added it. It updates, etc. Mach II is far easier to troubleshoot than your standard proecedural code, that's for damned sure. I've spent hours digging around going thru includes and crap trying to nail down that one URL that didn't have the DSN in it. So far, so good. Since I plan on going hardcore MachII over the next few weeks, I'll probably be blogging mainly about my experiences. Here goes nothin'.

cf8, Stuff I'm working on, coding stuff in general
so, this weekend is the time I've chosen to play around with a User manager app that Mr. Shuck built. Mainly cuz we're starting to apply more and more of these concepts at work. SO. Here goes nothin'. Time to setup MySQL on my laptop.

well, that wasn't painful...

Stuff I'm working on

ok, so I've moved over my queries to a CFC. Not that hard.
WAY WAY WAY more readable to me. Like I've said before, my action pages can get all FUGLY real quick-like.

While my component's still kinda wee small, I'm proud of the sucker. Now, time to really start throwing stuff into it!

Getting there...

Stuff I'm working on

Pretty much have my cfc built. Just doing the usual dump debugging stuff to make sure it's doing what it should be doing.

My gosh, to reiterate: It's NICE to be able to read my code a tad easier without wondering what the hell this CFIF does, etc.

cfc's are fun.

Stuff I'm working on

Ok, so I'm in the process now of moving all my sql querying stuff to one basic CFC for the site.

On the website, I'm using your typical javascript RTE, so I'm going to move the querying stuff for that into the CFC, as well.

If nothing else, CFC's make reading code a tad easier. My god, my action pages can get ugly as all get out.

My plan is to have one, maybe two CFC's for the entire site. (whatever winds up making more sense; I'm reading up on CFC's now in the Forta/CF web app book)

Plenty more to follow...

Current project: Podcast website's blogging capabilities

Stuff I'm working on

Ok, so I do a music based podcast with my buddy Jon. The website (the Best music show) is hosted on a CF friendly server. I *was* running Ray Camden's blogging software, but I came to the point that I felt like it was kind of overkill for what we wanted, and I really wanted to know what the website's design was in and out. (meaning, I wanted to do it myself, however ugly and kludgy it may be)

SO...I started out simply, with blog entries and comments. I'm building on it as I go.
My first immediate goal is to move all the SQL related stuff on my action page to a CFC.

Secondly, I'm wanting to add more Ajaxy UI elements to the front page that will expand, animate, etc based on content. (I.e., put a more openable div to show albums we discussed with more info than we have currently)

Thirdly, I'd like email updating going on.

Lastly, for now anwyay, the security needs to be far more robust than I have now.

Here goes nothin'!
