The Coldfusion / Flex file management application that I have been working on, has solely, up until this time been a standalone application. A recent project required integration with the popular TinyMCE WYSIWYG.

The post outlines the simple steps required to get FiLEX working as the default file management plugin.

I have decided to make my Coldfusion/Flex File Manager, FiLEX, available for download. All the features that have been mentioned about in previous posts are free to use. This has been tested on Coldfusion 8/9 and Railo 3.1 and have had no problems.

Click through to find the download and installation instructions.

Im no MySQL expert, but this stored procedure is something that i created myself to find and replace development URLS within the entire database.

Within the last few weeks, i have made steady progress with FiLEX, my Coldfusion Flex File Management application. Until recently, i was only able to show videos of functionality of this application due to uploading of files. New additions to FiLEX has enabled to post a public demo of the application for use.

To test the application and to offer feedback, please follow the link.

Since my last post about Flex / Coldfusion File Manager, FiLEX, i have been busy developing extra functionality to it enabling me to use it for a number of projects coming up. The post outlines the new updates i have made for a friendly user experience and a brief video outlines how simple it is to carry out the tasks.

To view a complete run down of the original specification and functionality for FiLEX, view the previous post here.

I have managed to setup a live demo version of my Flex / Coldfusion File Manager, titled FiLEX. Follow this post to see how to access this demo, as login details will need to be provided due to restrictions put in place for file uploading to the server.

Further information about FiLEX can be found here, where also a short video is available to see the application in use.

During the last few weeks I have been getting down to work on my Flex Project for a file manager, titled FiLEX (Flex / File combination). This post is just outlining what functions and features are currently available on this application and some screenshots are attached to give a better idea of it. The idea is to have complete control of the file structure on a Coldfusion based server, adding files/directories, updating, deleting and downloading.

This is the next part in the step-by-step process that I took setup Coldbox / Coldspring and Transfer, running on Railo, for a project I am currently working on. This post will focus on completing the setup of Transfer within the Coldbox configuration and also setting it up within Coldspring for the object dependency injection,

I have been experimenting with Coldfusion and Fusebox as of late and recently created a very simple twitter application that returns the friends for a given Twitter user. The previous post to this can be found here.

The update to this application is here and this post outlines the updated aspects to the functionality of it.

I have been doing abit of Flash Remoting with Coldfusion last couple of weeks, and have created this simple Actionscript setup to speed up the process of connecting to the gateway and the server side language.

Having already used a variety of different Coldfusion frameworks to build applications : Coldbox, FW/1 and Mach-II (to name a few), I decided to try and give Fusebox a try too.

The very simple application that I have built also utilizes the Twitter API to get friends listings and allows to select any of the friends to view a bit more information and the lastest Tweet. The is a demo application to try and the source files are available for download. 

I recently read a tweet asking how to sort an array of structures using Coldfusion. I was going to point them in the direction of a post i had found which done exactly this, however i could no longer find it. So i have created this post to share the code that enables this functionality as i currently use this in some of my work.

Although this is Part 0 of an ongoing series I have already started, this is the 2nd post to the series. On the original post about setting up Coldbox / Coldspring / Transfer, i received a comment asking to post about my current server setup, so this post is exactly that.

The original post, Coldbox / Coldspring / Transfer - Part 1, can be found here.

This simple plugin for Coldbox validates required form fields and ensures that they are not blank. It does not validate things like email addresses and telephone numbers. It purely checks that required fields are completed and returns a boolean and simple message to indicate a success or failure.

This is a small mini series that I have began to write following my experiences with setting up Coldbox, Coldspring and the Transfer ORM for Railo. I was intending to look at Coldbox for a new project but ended taking all the above on too, it did seem quite a lot to learn at once but im happy with what I have managed to achieve and am documenting my process to cover the aspects that needed attention.

The first part looks at the database structure and the Transfer configuration file required to automate the process of repetitive tasks usually required when developing a Coldfusion application.

I have been working on a very simple Mate based application using Flex. The simple contact manager searches a list of contacts and displays the found contacts using a sliding draw effect, in a similar way to the 'dictionary' widget on the Mac dashboard.

This is by no means the finished application and has not been styled in any way, I have added this here so that I can get some feedback for my understanding of the framework.

I have started to play around with Flex, Mate Framework and the Presentation Model. My current project involves using a progress bar to display the loading times when uploading documents. As the ProgressBar component in Flex does not have a bindable property it took me awhile to solve this, this posts displays the method that I took to get round this problem.

This is another plugin for Mango Blog that aids Google Analytics in tracking file downloads enabling to view the statistics within the Google Dashboard.

I use Google Analytics as my way of tracking traffic data for this website. Although this provides an excellent method of analyzing the statistics, I found that downloads links were not getting picked up through the standard way provided by Google.

My plugin for Mango Blog is now ready to download, this is just a simple plugin that retrieves the images for a specified user and displays them.
