cferror.org

Adrian Lynch has launched a new site called... you guessed it

http://cferror.org/

[The] site that documents ColdFusion errors so you can search for solutions and of course submit your own errors either to get a solution or to help out others who might come across the same one.

There's still a bit of work to do on it (need 'beta' in the logo really!) but I thought I'd get it out there sooner rather than later to see how it gets used.

Good luck with the site Adrian.

New transfer lexicon: listByPropertyMap

As you may or may not know I'm quite big fan of fusebox and one of the things I love is its power with lexicons.

Alex Lloyd, from my company Talkwebsolutions, today put together a new lexicon for Transfer. This lexicon allows use of the lisByPropertyObject from within Transfer.

Nice work Alex.

Error: Element SYSTEM is undefined in INSTANCE - Transfer?

Ok - so this was a first time i'd ever seen this error and I was a little stumped. The error come when I tried to login to a site which I'd done a 'thousand' times before. Looking at the stack trace I could see the error was caused by Transfer. Hmmm ok, I've just updated transfer locally so was that it? I looked over the code (a parsed fusebox file) but I couldn't see anything different? It really had me stumped. Time to call in some help. Mark Mandel to the rescue. After sending Mark some details about the error he came back with a simple solution...

"Have you cleared out the Transfer Cache files since the upgrade?"

Doh! I'd cleared the fusebox parsed files when I did the Transfer upgrade but I hadn't cleared the transfer cached files. After doing this it worked fine...

The moral of the story: Clear cached files if anything doesn't appear to be working correctly before bothering people!

BTW: If you've not upgraded to yet it has a load of enhancements.
