In my application.cfc file I have the following code:
this.mappings["/includes"] = "#expandPath('../../priv/inc/')#";
and then on a page I have the following CF include set up:
<cfinclude template="/includes/imageOptimise-thumbnail.cfm">
For the majority of the time when the page is submitted the imageOptimise-thumbnail page runs without any issue but occasionally it will error saying that it can't find the imageOptimise-thumbnail.cfm. If I resubmit the page, chances are it will work but the question is, why is it sometimes not being able to find the page?
I had a look in the CF Admin and I can't see anything in the logs saying that there was an error but it is clearly showing a Coldfusion 'template not found' error message when it fails.
Anyone got any ideas?
I think your issues stem from the fact that the path used for the mapping is relative.
According to advice in ColdFusion Mappings and Relative Paths,
the moral of the story is to NEVER use expandPath() to create a
mapping that’s relative to the webroot.
Try to make the webroot static as the blog suggests
<cfset this.mappings["/myapplication"] =getDirectoryFromPath(getCurrentTemplatePath())
and navigate to /priv/inc/ from the webroot

I am new to opencart. Some how I managed to create a website after reading online tutorial.
The website was worked well, but since two day the add to cart button is not working. Its showing some error on console. I tried different browser but same result.
Here I attached the screenshot.
The website is posakaworld.com
Any tips or hint is appreciated :)
I also having the similar issue, please check your
system/log/error.txt
For my case, I installed a new extension, and it shows and error
2017-06-25 9:49:03 - PHP Notice: Undefined variable: checkCart in /Users/Shiro/Sites/opencart/vqmod/vqcache/vq2-catalog_controller_checkout_cart.php on line 724
When I check ajax response, it does not show the error, it is due to production display error off, so finally, I manage to find out it is just a PHP Notice can break the system.
Once I fix the undefined variable notice, my ajax no more error. Everything back to normal. I hope this solution is helped.
CFWheels has the URLFor() function for getting the internal URL based on supplied arguments. Is there a way to get the internal URL without supplying any arguments?
For example:
Given a user navigates to "http://somedomain.com" or "http://somedomain.com/about/" or "http://somedomain.com/contact/" is there a method like ReWrittenURL() that returns something like "/" or "/about/" or "/contact/"?
Using URLFor() with no arguments returns "/home/index" or "/about/index" or "/contact/index".
CGI.SCRIPT_NAME returns "/rewrite.cfm"
Obviously with Javascript using document.location.href I can get what I'm after.
Does CGI.path_info have the value you're looking for?
edit
At first, I deleted this post, being utterly confounded. Now I've done a little test - I downloaded the latest wheels core files (1.1.6), extracted to an IIS 7.5 (with URL Rewrite module installed) + CF9 webserver, and edited the "web.config" file in the core root, setting "enabled='true'" for the rewrite rule. Also, since I was running this example from a subfolder, I changed the path from "/rewrite.cfm" to just "rewrite.cfm". This got me to the point where I was able to successfully requests urls like this:
http://server/wheelstest/wheels/wheels
From here, I edited the layout.cfm under views/wheels, adding:
<cfdump var="#cgi#">
When I then request the above URL (/wheelstest/wheels/wheels), I see the dump for the cgi scope. Under path_info, this is the value: /wheels/wheels.
Next, I added a blank "index.cfm" file under views/wheels.
When I request /wheelstest/wheels, I get this for path_info: "/wheels".
When I request /wheelstest/wheels/, I get this for path_info: "/wheels/".
When I request /wheelstest/wheels/index, I get this for path_info: "/wheels/index".
When I request /wheelstest/wheels/index/, I get this for path_info: "/wheels/index/".
So basically - cgi.path_info is doing for me exactly what you describe you want. What is different about your setup than mine, such that it isn't returning that value for you?
there might be a better way to do this... but here I go anyway
every page gets sent the #params#
<cfdump var="#params#">
<cfoutput>#params.action#/#params.controller#/#params.key#</cfoutput>
<cfabort>
try putting that in a controller and see the results
the problem is that if the objects inside the params object don't exist you get an error. So the path that gets generated needs to check if the struct key exists and edit accordingly.
CGI.Path_Info will give you the desired results. I've been trying different options however they all failed and went into the redirect loop. As soon as I switched CGI.path_info it all started well.
I wish to toggle friendly error messaging in ColdFusion 9. My app.cfm looks like:
<cfset App.EnableDebug = true>
<CFERROR TYPE="VALIDATION" TEMPLATE="/errorhandler.cfm">
<CFERROR TYPE="EXCEPTION" TEMPLATE="/errorhandler.cfm">
<CFERROR TYPE="REQUEST" TEMPLATE="/errorhandler.cfm">
Currently, my errorhandler.cfm looks at App.EnableDebug and either displays a friendly error message or a cfdump of the error variable and then a "megadump" of all defined variables (app, cgi, session, etc). My problem is we prefer the look/layout of the default error page provided by ColdFusion. However, we also like having the "megadump" of all our variables.
Now, I know that if I just comment out the cferror tags then ColdFusion will display it's default error page. Which is pretty handy, except I wish to include a "megadump" of all my variables. Any way to merge my two desires into one reality?
The default error handler is just a CFM file. You can edit it, or replace it with whatever you like.
This file is located in the server instance's WEB-INF/exception folder. The file name is detail.cfm
You prefer the look of the default error page? Do as Sean suggests, or,
throw an error
save the error page from your browser as errorhandler.cfm
insert your cfdump etc
Similar to Sean Coyne's answer, except a little more safe is to make a copy of detail.cfm and place it in your webroot as error.cfm. Then you can use the cferror tag just like you had before and in error.cfm just add your dumps.
Again the detail.cfm page is in {CFWebRoot}/WEB-INF/exception/.
In the application I designed, I named one of my web pages "error.cfm". I want it to display whenever there is an error from the application. So I put the following code inside "error.cfm":
An uncaught exception just 'happened' :-(
<br><br>
<b><cfoutput>#exception.message#</cfoutput></b><br />
<cfoutput>#exception.detail#</cfoutput><br /><br />
<cfif isdefined('exception.cause')>
<b><cfoutput>#exception.cause.message#</cfoutput></b><br />
<cfoutput>#exception.cause.detail#</cfoutput>
</cfif>
<cfdump var="#exception#">
So after hosting the website, I discovered that this particular page refused to load and instead a '500 Internal Error' was displayed. I then complained to my hosting company and I was sent these details:
Dear Customer,
The actual error message is the following:
Security: The requested template has been denied access to createobject(java).
The following is the internal exception message: access denied (coldfusion.runtime.FunctionPermission createobject(java))
The error occurred in C:\inetpub\vhosts\plat4ad.com\httpdocs\cms\error.cfm: line 10

Unfortunately some tags and functions are disabled on our servers due to security purposes. You can check full list here:

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Now checking the lists of the tags they disabled on their servers, CFDUMP was among them:
On the shared ColdFusion servers you will have access to all tags and
functions except for the following:
CF Tags:
CFCOLLECTION
CFCONTENT
CFDUMP
CFEXECUTE
CFLOG
CFOBJECT
CFOBJECTCACHE
CFREGISTRY
CF Functions:
SetProfileString
CreateObject(COM)
CreateObject(CORBA)
CreateObject(JAVA)
Please is there any alternative for CFDUMP? Or does anyone know any ColdFusion hosting company that doesn't have these restrictions? I appreciate any ideas from you.
How about this: http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2010/10/6/Cant-dump-Try-a-fake-dump
If you get yourself VPS (google:coldfusion VPS) you'll be able to do on that machine whatever you want.
The whole point of not having cdump is security measure. Usually all debugging and dumping raw data is done on development server and on hosted server you run applications, right? Error.cfm is used to hide caught exception details, like path to your files, data about used libraries etc.
There're ways to display data without cfdump. In your case I don't see why you couldn't use plain cfoutput and write exception details as 2 lines of output.
In your place, I'd take source codes of fw/1 or Mura CMS to see how they handle error messages, better to see how more experienced people are doing it then to "waste" time reinventing the wheel.
CFDUMP began life as a custom tag before it was ever included in ColdFusion.
It still appears to be downloadable: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1002037
You may need to make changes to it to work (better) in more modern versions of CF, but it should probably do more than 90 per cent of what you need it for.
I will add that if you choose to "dump" details, you can also wrap the dump code in an "if" block that looks at your cgi.REMOTE_ADDR and if it matches your IP address, does the dumpout, otherwise doesn't.
<cfif cgi.REMOTE_ADDR EQ "167.96.177.66">
<!--- execute dump code here --->
</cfif>
Caveats: YMMV, have to have a static IP, have to BE at that IP, etc.
I am not a ColdFusion coder. Doing a favor for a friend who ported his CF site from a Windows server to Unix on GoDaddy.
Site is displaying error:
Cannot find CFML template for custom tag jstk. ColdFusion
attempted looking in the tree of installed custom tags but did not
find a custom tag with this name.
The site as I found it has at document root /CustomTags with the jstk.cfm file and a set of files in cf_jstk
My Googling located this:
You must store custom tag pages in any one of the following:
The same directory as the calling page;
The cfusion\CustomTags directory;
A subdirectory of the cfusion\CustomTags directory;
A directory that you specify in the ColdFusion Administrator
So I have:
Tried creating placing /CustomTags in /cfusion/CustomTags
Tried copying /cfusion/CustomTags to above document root
Tried copying jstk.cfm and subfolders into same directory as calling file(index.cfm)
Update: Per GoDaddy support I have also tried adding the following to no effect: <cfmodule template="CustomTags/jstk.cfm">
Can any one give me some tips on this or should I just tell my guy to look for a CF coder?
Thanks!
I don't know how GoDaddy is setup, so as a quick test, please do the following:
Create file test.cfm in the webroot with contents:
<cf_testtag/>
<cfoutput>test</cfoutput><cfabort/>
Create file testtag.cfm in the webroot with contents:
<cfdump var=#ThisTag# />
Then in a browser visit the test.cfm page.
You should get two debug dumps, followed by the 'test'; this will confirm that custom tags in general are working.
If that works move the testtag.cfm to the CustomTags directory, and see if you get the same behaviour or an error.
If this produces an error, for CF8 and above, you can add <cfset This.CustomTagPaths = "/CustomTags" /> inside the Application.cfc file (assuming there is a App cfc and not an Application.cfm) to ensure that directory is checked for tags.
It is possible to convert Application.cfm to Application.cfc - how easy this is depends on how complex the code is in there - might be something you could figure out, or might need an experienced CF dev, it depends.
Depending on the outcome of this, we can attempt to debug why the jstk tag isn't working (unless one of the above solves it).
In an effort to check the simple things before worrying about complex things:
Remember that filenames on *nix systems are case sensitive, but on windows are not.
For example, a windows server will pick up "application.cfm" but a linux server won't. It requires "Application.cfm".
Check to make sure all filenames/paths are the correct case.
Normally, CFML check every custom tags in current directory first, if not found, second is in CFMX8/customtags/.
