Plone and Drupal: Different Approaches, Different Results

paul.nowak wrote: Matt, thanks for the comments. I made an error on the version of Plone. It's 2.5 Plone running on Zope 2.9x. In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue. We've also tested for the case where the PostgreSQL server is down and have not been able to create an issue. We therefor...

ColdFusion 8 - GetDriveInfo() UDF Powered By .NET

This is an example that I used when demonstrating ColdFusion 8 .NET integration

This is an example that I used when demonstrating ColdFusion 8 .NET integration on the recent usergroup tour, and as requested, I am posting it publicly. GetDriveInfo() returns a query containing specifics about the hard drives on your server, it returns all drives unless an optional drive letter is passed to it. GetDriveInfo() uses the .NET System.IO.DriveInfo class (which was introduced in .NET 2, and thus this example requires .NET 2 or 3).

Here is the code:


<cffunction name="GetDriveInfo" returntype="query" output="false">
   <cfargument name="drive" required="no" default="">

   
   <cfset var result=QueryNew("name,type,isready,format,label,totalsize,freespace",
                     "varchar,varchar,bit,varchar,varchar,double,double")>
   <cfset var sidiClass="">
   <cfset var drives="">
   <cfset var i=0>

   
   <cfobject type=".NET"
            name="sidiClass"
            class="System.IO.DriveInfo">
   
   <cfset drives=sidiClass.GetDrives()>

   
   <cfloop from="1" to="#ArrayLen(drives)#" index="i">
      
      <cfif ARGUMENTS.drive IS ""
         OR ARGUMENTS.drive EQ drives[i].Get_Name()
         OR (Len(ARGUMENTS.drive) IS 1
            AND ARGUMENTS.drive EQ Left(drives[i].Get_Name(), 1))>
         
         <cfset QueryAddRow(result)>
         
         <cfset QuerySetCell(result, "name", drives[i].Get_Name())>
         <cfset QuerySetCell(result, "type", drives[i].Get_DriveType().ToString())>
         <cfset QuerySetCell(result, "isready", drives[i].Get_IsReady())>
         
         <cfif drives[i].Get_IsReady()>
            <cfset QuerySetCell(result, "format", drives[i].Get_DriveFormat())>
            <cfset QuerySetCell(result, "label", drives[i].Get_VolumeLabel())>
            <cfset QuerySetCell(result, "totalsize", drives[i].Get_TotalSize())>
            <cfset QuerySetCell(result, "freespace", drives[i].Get_AvailableFreeSpace())>
         </cfif>
      </cfif>
   </cfloop>

   
   <cfreturn result>

</cffunction>

And here is a simple test example:


<h3>All Drives</h3>
<cfdump var="#GetDriveInfo()#">


<h3>C: Drive</h3>
<cfdump var="#GetDriveInfo("C")#">


<h3>Free Space On C Drive</h3>
<cfdump var="#NumberFormat(GetDriveInfo("C").freespace)#">

About Ben Forta
Ben Forta is Adobe's Senior Technical Evangelist. In that capacity he spends a considerable amount of time talking and writing about Adobe products (with an emphasis on ColdFusion and Flex), and providing feedback to help shape the future direction of the products. By the way, if you are not yet a ColdFusion user, you should be. It is an incredible product, and is truly deserving of all the praise it has been receiving. In a prior life he was a ColdFusion customer (he wrote one of the first large high visibility web sites using the product) and was so impressed he ended up working for the company that created it (Allaire). Ben is also the author of books on ColdFusion, SQL, Windows 2000, JSP, WAP, Regular Expressions, and more. Before joining Adobe (well, Allaire actually, and then Macromedia and Allaire merged, and then Adobe bought Macromedia) he helped found a company called Car.com which provides automotive services (buy a car, sell a car, etc) over the Web. Car.com (including Stoneage) is one of the largest automotive web sites out there, was written entirely in ColdFusion, and is now owned by Auto-By-Tel.
