Title: UUID Creation Outside CF
Date: 03/10/05      (12 Posts)
Summary: A UUID (Universal Unique Identifier) is a standard 16-byte identification number used in software. The poster of this thread asked if the algorithm for this is open, whether it can be created within a stored procedure, and if the result will be compatible with ColdFusion.
 
Title: How to Browse and Choose Directory
Date: 03/10/05      (96 Posts)
Summary: Is it possible to upload several files from one directory to another as a group using CFFILE? Apparently, HTML only allows for single files to be uploaded, not entire directories. Questions of security and limitations of the HTML file upload are discussed in this thread. Several solutions are proposed, including a JavaScript solution, a Flash file uploader that could be tweaked to upload directories, and some custom CF code written by Ian Skinner. FTP is the solution that most seem to agree upon.
 
Title: (HomeSite) Output in CFCs
Date: 03/10/05      (25 Posts)
Summary: Michael Dinowitz notes that the homesite tag dialogs for CFCOMPONENT and CFFUNCTION are missing certain features added in ColdFusion MX. Before you can say "CF Magic," he provides the fix, but the discussion on IDEs and HomeSite vs. CFEclipse is well worth reading.
