What to check, and how to recover!Are you finding problems after applying a CF update? The explanation may be someplace you’re not even looking: the update’s “install log”. And the resolution may be just minutes away!I hear this often: you just applied (or tried to apply) a CF update, and now there’s a problem. Perhaps CF won’t even start, or the admin is failing somehow. “The update is broken!”, you may think, or “CF has a bug in that update!” you may say as you go to open a bug report. You may even be thinking you need to re-install CF. Wait!https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2019/03/problems-applying-cf-update-check-first/ Ben Nadel - Inserting Text At The Last Known Selection / Caret Location In JavaScriptOver the weekend, I added emoji shortcuts just below my comment form. To do this, I had to render the emoji options using Lucee CFML; and then, I had to apply the selected emoji to the textarea using JavaScript. In an effort to always do things incrementally and iteratively, my first (and current) implementation always inserts the emoji at the end of the textarea. But, in my next iteration, I want to insert the emoji at the last known caret / selection location. As such, I wanted to explore that concept in its own little JavaScript demo.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4086-inserting-text-at-the-last-known-selection-caret-location-in-javascript.htm CFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 152 ColdFusion positions from 69 companies across 100 locations in 5 Countries.3 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time - ColdFusion Developer at Houston, TX - United States Posted Jul 29https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/ColdFusion-Developer-at-Houston-TX/11303 Full-Time - ColdFusion Specialist at Bengaluru, Karnataka - India Posted Jul 28https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/india/ColdFusion-Specialist-at-Bengaluru-Karnataka/11304 Full-Time - Software Engineer - Adobe ColdFusion at Remote - United States Posted Jul 27https://www.getcfmljobs.com/jobs/index.cfm/united-states/Software-Engineer-Adobe-ColdFusion-at-Remote/11302 Ortus Jobs - https://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careers Senior ColdFusion CFML Developer (USA TEAM) Desarollador Web (EL SALVADOR TEAM) ForgeBox Module of the Weekbrowserlesscfc A CFML wrapper for the browserless API.
