What's New in the Tag Gallery

May 28, 2001

frameFinder function: This is a Javascript which I came up with to help me with a frames-based problem. The problem was that after pushing content to a frame let's say (from CALLER to CALLED) I wanted to have CALLED send a message or commit an action back to CALLER. This is easy if you know the name of CALLER in advance, but I wanted to decouple the display (in this case a frameset) from the code. That is to say, I wanted CALLED to figure out by what frame it had been updated. This script allows you to do that.
cf_flushsessions 1.1 / cf_dumpsessions 1.0: The FLUSHSESSIONS tag will flush all session variables that are not CF-Specific, or will flush all variables passed by attribute value pair in a comma-delimited string.(CFTOKEN,SESSIONID,URLToken remain intact by default, but this can now be overridden). Returns a list of all session variables and their status (Intact or Deleted) Then aborts processing of remaining page. The DUMPSESSIONS tag simply outputs all current SESSION variables to screen but does not clear their values. Place these tags in your application.cfm file for best performance and for ease of use.
iscard: This is the same as the mod10 tag but it is written entirely in CFscript. It preforms a check on credit card numbers to determine that they may be valid. The tag accepts a structure containing the credit card information and will return a success flag and an error code depending on the error encountered. (see tag for more info). It will check American Express, MasterCard, Visa, Discover and Diners Club cards. It is not encrypted, so feel free to change it.
CF_SiteMap: CF_SiteMap is a custom CFML tag for generating a sitemap from a table tracking item and item_parent. It will create the sitemap with infite deep levels using recursion.
UBCoupons: UBCoupons is a powerful coupon management application that can be easily integrated into your website. Think about how many return vistors you could have if they knew they could keep coming back to your site to recieve great offers and discount coupons from companies in your area.
SimpleStock: Not everyone needs a fancy Stock Quote Grabber with charts, graphs, forms, etc... so I created one that just grabs the Date, Time and the Quote without any user input.
CFpingPRO: CFpingPRO from ImagineNation is an application that runs in an IE5.5 browser and makes periodic html and cf page calls to a ColdFusion server. It measures the response times and computes the time differences as a check on the CF engine performance.
ValidMail: ValidMail is an email validation tag that takes an email address (for example from a form input) and exhaustively validates the syntax. It checks the user name, domain name, and suffix individually and returns a seperate error code for each.
BakPak 2001: BakPak 2001 from ImagineNation is a Back Office Application for general use with any form based storefront software. It will process a minimum of 40 different form field inputs and allocate the values to appropriate locations in the database tables.
CF_Shadow_King: This tag is used to drop a shadow under text. Because of screen wrap, it is mainly used for custom page titles.
CF_TABSHEET: Creates a DHTML tabbed interface for IE5.x. The tag will allow multiple nested tabs and as much customizing as you would like to do.
CF_Airportcalc: Check distances between U.S. Airports.
CF_Atmos: Calculates atmospheric pressure
Security Manager: Creates Complete roll-based security at the code level.
CF_TimeClocks: Provides 27 time clocks in real time, from around the world. Can be easily modified to suit your own requirements.
NTLogin2Name: Takes the NT Login in the form of "lastname.firstname" and converts it into the more formal (Titlecase) version "Firstname Lastname" for display. Basically, it saves your time with string functions.
File Replication Pro: Automatic real-time or scheduled replication for NT/2000/UNIX/MAC across LANs, WANs, Internet and firewalls. Fast, resource efficient, reliable and inexpensive. For Backup, High Availability Configurations, and File Distribution.
InstaBoard: InstaBoard is a web-based discussion forums that has not only many popular features like moderator options, email nortifications and single/multi thread view options, but also possesses many features which set it apart from other typical discussion programs available, like our unique code-structures using layers of scripts that allow easy integration with existing pages.
CF_smcalculator: Calculator
UBCoupons: UBCoupons is a powerful coupon management application that can be easily integrated into your website. Think about how many return vistors you could have if they knew they could keep coming back to your site to recieve great offers and discount coupons from companies in your area.
Uncheckable Radio Buttons: Why it is html radio buttons weren't designed to be 'uncheckable' is beyond me. This is just a little javascript routine which uses hidden input fields and image tags to simulate uncheckable radio buttons.
CFX_mIMAP: CFX_mIMAP is a Java-based CFX for IMAP Mail. Server interactions include the ability to create, rename or delete mail folders, to list mail folders and contents summary, or to move or copy messages from one folder to another (source and destination folder can even be on different mail servers!)
CF_Worldtime: Displays worldtime.
cf_cryp: cf_cryp provides additional security and addresses several drawbacks of the default CF encrypt/decrypt functions. cf_cryp produces encrypted strings that are much tougher to crack and can't be modified as easily and includes an encoded checksum to help ensure data integrity.
CF_BirthChart: CF_BirthChart takes two variables, the age the mother concieved the chid and the month the child was concieved, and outputs the gender of the unborn child, based on the famous Chinese birth chart. It has a 93% accuracy.
FANSGATE Fan Community: FANSGATE Fan Community (Community Solutions) by PeGaSys Web Consulting

The FANSGATE Fan Community will let you build complex, virtual Fan-Communities with a large number of users.
Since it is built in a modular structure (ColdFusion, Fuseboxstandard), it is easily adaptable to the specific requirements of each project.
cf_flushsessions: The FLUSHSESSIONS tag will flush all session variables that are not CF-specific (CFID,CFTOKEN,SESSIONID,URLToken remain intact) unless you specify others in the new attribute: exclude="comma,delim,list". You can select to append this list to the default (CFID, etc.) by adding the attribute append="yes".
The DUMPSESSIONS tag simply dumps all SESSION variables to screen, excluding the variables you've specified in exclude="" ... by default the CF-specific variables are excluded.
CF_CSV: The CSV tag will take a .csv file exported from Outlook Express and read the name and email address of each entry. It's good for web-based mail applications of many types.
CF_ScriptKill: CF_ScriptKill protects your forms from hackers using SCRIPT attacks (see Allaire's Security Bulletins for notes regarding cross-site scripting). Allaire has issued a tag for 4.5 (CF_INPUTFILTER), but ScriptKill will work with 4.0 and up.
