<< More about...
This tag is a working replacement for <CFDIRECTORY ACTION="list" ... >

The results returned by CFDIRECTORY are far from being complete and usable: date-time values are badly formated and uncomplete, file attributes are not returned, etc.

CFX_ListDir is an attempt to fix these flaws and adds many features like a more versatile selection of files, according to their extension, date last modified and any of their attributes like read-only, archive, etc.

CFX_mapData, and its companion CF_mapKey, can be used to colorize regions on a geographical map under a particular gif format. The trick is that the tag does not modify any pixel in the image, but only the palette of 256 colors contained in the file. It then produces a copy of the gif image, only some colors are changed. By just ajusting a 768 bytes region in the gif file, a completely new image can be generated almost instantly.

This tool is a set of one custom tag, CSS and Javascript files, which makes adding online help in a ColdFusion application as easy as just typing text. Any HTML object can be "Help enabled" by just adding an attribute with an identificator to the tag. Then an online help popup can be added anywhere in the page using a simple custom tag. The text inside the custom tag can contain any HTML codes.

When the mouse passes over an help enabled element, the cursor chages for the help cursor (). The user just has to right click on the element to get an online pop up containing the information. The popup is not a new window, but an absolute positioned table in the page, then its display is immediate.

This tag returns the hexadecimal color value of a pixel defined by its coordinates in any GIF, JPEG or PNG image. For a GIF image, it also returns the color index in the palette.

This tag is actually two in one:

  1. It can replace a complex set of AREA tags in a link on a GIF image with the attribute USEMAP set. CFX_MapClick will return the index color which can be used to determine the area clicked, to the pixel. No use for complex AREA definitions with many and inaccurate polygons on a map.
  2. It can also be used to retreive the hexadecimal color of the pixel clicked by the user in any image of type GIF, JPEG or PNG.

New Release

  This versatile new tag makes the generation of dynamic frames in Web pages a breeze.

Many developer tools are available to create attractive frames around some content in Web pages. For instance, the home page at eBay has at least six of such frames.

These stand alone programs however lack some versatility: they produce a bunch if image parts and the HTML code to display them in a table layout, but the content inside the frame is hardly managed in dynamic mode. The size of the frame is generally not adjustable, or at most, adjustable by hand with much difficulty.

CF_easyFrame combines all the versatility of using image parts in tables, like with the developer tools, but works on the server. It also uses a technique that makes the frames 100% dynamically adjustable by the server, with ColdFusion, depending on the content.

Another advantage is that the developer has just one minimal and very simple image to provide. Most of the time, CF_easyFrame will extract all necessary image parts from simple circular object.

The creation of the image parts is performed only the first time the tag is used. All the images are then stored on the server and are used later on, making the use of the tag not any havier for the server than with other systems.

This tag reads an image in JPEG format and removes all information not strictly necessary for it's display.

Most Image management software and hardware (cameras) produce files that embed information about creation date and method. This information, albeit useful in some circumstances, is useless for display in a browser.

You may be not aware of it, but if you own a Web site with thousands of images, you may be paying thousands for nothing in wasted disk space!
This tag is a must for owners of sites in which users can upload images.

<< More about...
This tag is able to find and retrieve portions of text included between two strings matched by regular expressions. It makes work of analysing any text much easier because the two matching expressions are separated, and also because the part to extract does not have to be defined inside the regular expressions.
The power of this tag also comes from its versatility to accept input text from various sources, like direct string, file on the disk, page on the Net or text between the opening and closing tags. It can also output results directly, in a variable, a list or a query.
This tag is a must for those who create robots and syntax or text analysers.

CF_convertDate << More about... This simple yet handy tag is able to receive a date in any format specified by the programer, validate it with no guessing and convert it to another format specified by the programer. It validates the date and returns either a valide date in the specified format, or an error message.

It also comes in two flavors: a standard custom tag compatible with all ColdFusion versions, and a function for CF 5+. Both are included in the same package.

This tag creates a table in which long column headers can be used. They are laid out as rows in one column instead of as columns in one row and joined to the corresponding columns of data by colored areas in shape of corner.
This tag is especially useful to straighten tables too wide to be printed or viewed in one screen and it alows more information to be given about each column, especially when data in column is very straight.

Give the pictures on your site the presentation they deserve. This tag generates an artistic frame around any image or any area, any size. More than 60 different frame styles. Add any number of liners (fillets) from a choice of more than 25 styles between the frame and the image. Millions of possible combinations. The frame is generated from small imagelets and will adapt around any image to the pixel. Frames can be generated with a shadow or without and any scale factor can be applied.

CF_PictureFrame does not replace the original image but rather adds a frame around it, adjusting the frame size as required to fit around the picture.

Comes with sample code and the Frame Builder shown in examples.
The code generated is compatible with MSIE 5.0+ and Netscape 6.0+, and probabily with any CSS2 compatible browser.
