Rough upgrade notes for Lighthouse pro - version 2.1.006 to 2.3

I've just upgraded Ray Camdens Lighthouse Pro project from version 2.1.006 to 2.3 and here are some rough notes:

Alter all tables to have prefix lh_

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[lh_issuetypes] (
   [id] [nvarchar] (35) NOT NULL ,
   [name] [nvarchar] (50) NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[lh_issuetypes] WITH NOCHECK ADD
   CONSTRAINT [PK_lh_issuetypes] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
   (
      [id]
   ) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

Add default bugs (Bug, Enhancement) to table lh_issuetypes

Add columns to table lh_issues
issuetypeidfk nvarchar 35
creatoridfk nvarchar 35
allow isBug to have null values

Add columns to table lh_projects

[mailserver] [nvarchar] (255) NOT NULL,
[mailusername] [nvarchar] (255) NOT NULL,
[mailpassword] [nvarchar] (255) NOT NULL,
[mailemailaddress] [nvarchar] (255) NOT NULL

Run update page: /install/update2.2.cfm

Make sure that the collation is correct on the new table.


Report on cfDevcon06

Okay, so nearly one week ago we had a ColdFusion conference here in the UK. I have to say I was really excited to hear that there was going to be one. Then Russ Michaels asked me if I could do a talk. What is one supposed to say apart from 'yes'. I've never given a talk to more than 30 people before so I was really looking forward to it. I decided to be a bit more abstract than the other talks and focus on APIs and why and how they can be used in ColdFusion. You can download the slides below - although I'm not sure how they will come out as i got a little carried away with powerpoint 2007 effects. The talk itself I think went okay until Niklas ask me to increase the font size - a minor issue and we were back up and running (thanks Darren).

I won't go into the other talks as they have been covered here:

Some pictures can be seen here.

What I will say is that the event brought together an array of ColdFusion developers with different ideas, problems, experiences etc. This in itself was worth the effort. A big thanks to Russ for his hard work.

If you can let the cfDevcon team know what you thought of the event here

P.S. When you get a taxi home and ask the taxi driver if he's had a busy night and he says he's only just started (4:30am) thats a sign of a good night. It was really nice meeting people. Now if only we can build on this...
