cfEasyAlbum - Version 1.01 released

October 4, 2007 — Vincent Collins

cfEasyAlbum has a new release today.

Version 1.01 now provides the option of multi image upload with the excellent Flash tool SWFUpload and image resizing is handled by the nifty tmt_img cfc.

This is all nicely packaged into a newly added admin section which allows you to create albums without the need for ftp.

cfEasyAlbum is a new open source web album organizer that I have written. I’m looking for people to download and play with it. Once you download it, simply extract it to the web directory of your choice, edit the ini.cfm file and you are done.

Keeping with the name, cfEasyAlbum is:

  • Easy to Install
  • Easy to Configure
  • Easy to Update

You can of course also simply upload your own albums via ftp if you wish to continue to do it that way.

You can see it in action here: http://www.ecoastjobs.com/cfeasyalbum.cfm

As always, I would love to to hear your comments.

ColdFusion Charts cfchart on MX7

January 3, 2007 — Vincent Collins

I needed to quickly put up a graph that compared last year’s
numbers to this years. In the past, using the old charting tools that
ColdFusion 5.0 offered turned out to be worthless when you needed to
compare two sets of numbers on the same graph. Not any more!

Here is a quick example of how to use the charting tools leveraging
the Flash Format:

<cfchart format=”flash” font=”arialunicodeMS” xaxistitle=”Month”
yaxistitle=”Sales Numbers” showlegend=”yes”>
<cfchartseries type=”line” serieslabel=”2005″>
<cfloop index=”i” list=”Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec”>
<cfchartdata item=”#i#” value=”#RandRange(5000,10000)#”>
</cfloop>
</cfchartseries>
<cfchartseries type=”line” serieslabel=”2006″>
<cfloop index=”j” list=”Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec”>
<cfchartdata item=”#j#” value=”#RandRange(8000,15000)#”>
</cfloop>
</cfchartseries>
</cfchart>

( view it in action here: http://www.cfblogs.com/vincecollins/cfchart/ )

Just replace each cfchartseries with a new set of data and iterate
through it and you are all set!

How cool and easy is that?
