This encompasses taking pride in all things #Box, as well as creating new products that align with our pillars of modernization and innovation. It was then that our designers were tasked with creating designs that would represent what we love and do. For our debut, we chose Astro Girl, which symbolizes the strength and ambition of women in every field. Next, we have our Love for Coding design. This one came about in our February blogs and newsletter. What else could better represent us than our love for coding? Following we have our Modernize or Die art. There is no way we could exclude our motto and guiding principle.  Up next, we have our ColdBox hero. Our beloved logos were also taken into consideration and were given a line just for them. We will be adding more of these in due time.Blog: https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/our-boxlife-store-has-come-to-lifeStore: https://www.ortussolutions.com/shop#!/all?listModeOverride=DESIGNFree Into the Box ticket on TwitterFind out tweet, reply and retweet to go into the draw for a free ticket to INTO THE BOX online conference in under a month.https://twitter.com/ortussolutions/status/1248718662455955457Adobe ColdFusion (2018 release) Update 9 and ColdFusion (2016 release) Update 15 releasedIn this update, apart from fixing the security vulnerabilities, we’ve also added SameSite cookie support for cfcookie.These updates fix security vulnerabilities that are mentioned in the security bulletin,  APSB20-18.Please update your ColdFusion versions today.

So many wonderful things in my life have sprung from the fact that I happened to get an internship under Glen Lipka 20-years ago; and, that his company happened to be using ColdFusion 4.5. But, my relationship with ColdFusion hasn't always been rosy. We've had our good times and our bad times. And, sometimes, getting ColdFusion to do what I want has felt like a frustrating labor of love. But, when I sit back and reflect on my last year-or-so at InVision, I'm seeing now that - without question - I've fallen completely back in love with ColdFusion and CFML.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3809-rediscovering-my-love-of-coldfusion-and-cfml-in-2020.htmBlog + Video - Ben Nadel - Executing Command-Line Processes From A Working Directory Using ProcessBuilder In Lucee CFML 5.2.9.31In ColdFusion, we've always had the CFExecute tag as a means to execute external command-line processes from within our CFML code. However, one of the big missing features in the CFExecute tag API is the ability to set the "working directory" for the execution. In many cases, this doesn't matter. However, for some processes, the working directory is used to change the behavior of the execution. Inspired by Brad Wood (see Tweet thread), I wanted to take a look at how I might execute external processes from a given working directory using Java's ProcessBuilder class in Lucee CFML 5.2.9.31.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3810-executing-command-line-processes-from-a-working-directory-using-processbuilder-in-lucee-cfml-5-2-9-31.htmBlog - Tom King - CFWheels - CFWheels 2.1 ReleasedToday sees the release of CFWheels 2.1. Only a couple of bug fixes since the beta, so please refer to the changelog for a list of all changes.https://cfwheels.org/blog/cfwheels-2-1-released/Blog - Zac Spitzer - serializeJSON supports two additional query serialization formats for JSONOh, #Lucee also supports two additional query serialization formats for JSON, "row" and "column". Discovered them whilst updating the docs example and happened to ponder what happens if I replace 'struct' with 'blah'https://docs.lucee.org/reference/functions/serializejson.htmlVideo - Matthew Clemente - Using Multiselect Inputs in CommandBox Custom CommandsMultiselect inputs are a very versatile interactivity prompt within the CommandBox CLI. They work a lot like radio buttons, checkboxes, or select options in HTML. Instead of allowing a user to enter freetext, you present a list of choices, eliminating the risk of typos, and standardizing the results. In this video, we cover how to add multiselect inputs to your custom commands, making selection required, pre-selecting options, enabling multiple items to be selected, and more.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AahvzEukw4afeature=youtu.beBlog - James Moberg - Supporting ColdFusion with Command Line ProgramsHere are some supporting Windows command line programs that I've been using with Adobe ColdFusion. (I'll be posting another list of "supporting java libraries" soon.)https://dev.to/gamesover/supporting-coldfusion-with-command-line-programs-2pljBlog - Luis Majano - Ortus Solutions - cbORM v2.5.0 Released!We are so excited to bring you yet another minor release for our cborm project to version 2.5. This is a very exciting release as it brings about automatic RESTFul CRUD for ORM entities based on ColdBox 6 resources.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/cborm-v250-releasedBlog - Tony Junkes - Implementing RuleBox In Your FW/1 ApplicationsThis one has been a long time coming. While attending the Adobe ColdFusion Summit 2019, I was able to catch Luis Majano's talk on RuleBox. From the moment it's features started to click in my mind, I thought this would be cool to use in Framework One.https://tonyjunkes.com/blog/implementing-rulebox-in-your-fw1-applications/Video - Brad Wood - Ortus Solutions - What's New In CommandBox 5 - Tuning Web Server Max RequestsLearn how to tune your web servers' max requests in CommandBox 5.https://www.ortussolutions.com/blog/whats-new-in-commandbox-5-tuning-web-server-max-requestsBlog + Video - Ben Nadel - Understanding ReadOnly And Exclusive Named Locks In Lucee CFML 5.3.5.92The other weekend, as I was reading through the Learn Modern ColdFusion lCFMLg in 100 Minutes book by Ortus Solutions, something about the way in which they described the CFLock tag really clicked for me. Historically, my understanding of the different types of locking has been fairly poor. As such, I tend to just lean on exclusive name locks all the time. But, those Ortus chaps really broke down my mental barrier; and I think I get it! So, I wanted to see if I could create a ColdFusion locking demo that would help me convince myself that I finally understand the interplay between ReadOnly and Exclusive named locks in Lucee CFML 5.3.5.92.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3808-understanding-readonly-and-exclusive-named-locks-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-5-92.htmBlog - David Byers - ColdFusion Portal - Best Practices for Secure Password Storage in ColdFusionIn today’s post, I want to discuss best practices for storing passwords securely.  The examples I will provide are directed towards ColdFusion development. However, this is not limited to ColdFusion; these principles apply to any software development project.The first best practice of secure password storage is: Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever store passwords in the clear.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2020/04/best-practices-secure-password-storage-coldfusion/Blog - Pete Freitag - Acme Client Error Valid not acceptable for finalizationI have a few static sites that are hosted using Netlify. I received an email from Netlify about one of my sites, a Content-Security-Policy Header Reference that said:Failed to renew TLS certificate for content-security-policy.com. The TLS certificate for content-security-policy.com will expire on Apr 23, 2020. We tried to renew it, but got this error message: Acme::Client::Error: Order's status ("valid") is not acceptable for finalizationhttps://www.petefreitag.com/item/898.cfmBlog - James Moberg - ColdFusion Query-of-Query Reserved Words or Bug?I encountered an Adobe ColdFusion error where a query would throw an error if certain column names were accessed. A third-party client uploaded an Excel file using "first" and "last" column names. When I attempted to access those columns independently using ColdFusion 2016.0.14.318307 with a query-of-queries CFQuery, an error "Query Of Queries syntax error. Encountered FIRST. Incorrect Select List, Incorrect select column," was thrown. I checked the official about and user guide support pages and there's no indication that any column names are reserved. (NOTE: I'm also using the Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server instead of the native DataDirect drivers when performing non-in-memory SQL queries.)https://dev.to/gamesover/coldfusion-query-of-query-reserved-words-or-bug-4ppfBlog - Pete Frietag - Bash Loop To Wait for Server to StartI had a client working on setting up Fixinator to start up the Fixinator Enterprise Scanning server to run within their Continuous Integration pipeline. The CI script needs to pause or sleep for a few seconds while the server starts up.I came up with a generic bash script that will loop and and attempt to ping the server using curl (makes a HTTP request), then sleep. For a script like this you don't want it to run forever, so it will timeout after a certain number of attempts.Here's my script to loop and wait for the server to start:https://www.petefreitag.com/item/897.cfmBlog - Eric Peterson - Ortus Solutions - Quick v3.0.0 Alpha ReleasedIt's finally here, the first alpha of Quick 3.0.0.
