The new version of Firefox broke my FCKEditor! They didn’t do it on purpose I’m sure, but it did, in fact, break it. I am using what I consider the standard implementation in ColdFusion (that does not come bundled with ColdFusion). I updated my Firefox to the most recent version (3.6) which was released on [...]

Yesterday, I found myself needing more than ColdFusion could supply. I had a variable with content that came from a WYSIWYG editor. Some of that content was the result of inserting images into the content. By default the image source was set to the absolute path from the webroot (i.e. /images/imagefile.jpg). This worked great for [...]

One of the biggest requests I get is to explain how I integrated a ColdFusion app with the VirtualMerchant Gateway. It was actually quite simple. The difficulty lies in the lack of documentation and help from VirtualMerchant. Their gateway does not seem to allow for much customization or control. If you want to have a [...]

I received a question today about how to stop the contributor policy group from being able to re-order navigation nodes. There are a lot of things that you can control via the group permissions section. For some information on those, see this post: http://www.reynacho.com/?p=49. However, these permissions deal primarily with the approval process and webtop [...]

I’ve had an issue come up several times in the last month where I’ll get several thousand emails from sites on errors or notifications or whatever. I have no choice but to be on the list to receive the emails and I was sick of trying to manage all of them (most of them just [...]

I recently posted a solution about the DataGrid in Flex 2 not highlighting rows correctly after certain events (specifically double-clicking a row). You can read that post here. I wanted to simply update the code sample that I gave for the overridden drawRowBackground() method. The code I had before was from Flex 3 and introduced [...]

I had an issue in a Flex 2 project yesterday where a Datagrid would not highlight the selected row. All the styles were set up for this but it still would not work. The unfortunate matter is that this project (at least for the time being) is stuck in Flex 2 which is not open [...]

I have been playing around with an AIR application which stores data to a local SQLite DB. I have a very basic settings table which is nothing more than a key/value paring of settings. The keys all match up with variables in the Model. So, there’s a setting for “fontFamily” which is both the key [...]

I work from home sometimes and in the past have had to reboot my PC due to the usual random reasons. Over a Remote Desktop connection it does not give you that option by default. It just gives you the option to log off or disconnect. Servers give you the option to reboot so I [...]

I ran into a problem today where the most elegant solution was to dynamically instantiate a class. However, I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to do that. Basically, the situation was this: Dispatch Event A If Event A Fails, Dispatch Event B, then re-dispatch Event A. This dealt with a SQLite [...]
