Then, I want to add a text-label for the HEX value and position in the bottom-left corner of the canvas.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4070-generating-color-swatches-with-graphicsmagick-and-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-47.htmTweet - Terry Beard#CFML #CF2018 deserializeJSON seems to be converting foo: true to foo: "YES". Anyone have any experience with this? #Coldfusionhttps://twitter.com/snackboy/status/1408459384053768198Blog - Ben Nadel - Using The OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer In Lucee CFML 5.3.7.48 To Sanitize HTML Input And Prevent XSS AttacksEarlier this week, at the Adobe ColdFusion Developer Conference, Charlie Arehart mentioned that the OWASP AntiSamy project was added to Adobe ColdFusion 11. I started using the AntiSamy project back in ColdFusion 10, and hadn't realized that it was now a native part of the ColdFusion runtime. This inspired me to go back and re-read my old post wherein I remembered that Matthew Clemente mentioned yet another OWASP project of relevance called the Java HTML Sanitizer. To keep things exciting, I decided to play around a bit with this Java HTML Sanitizer project in Lucee CFML 5.3.7.48.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/4071-using-the-owasp-java-html-sanitizer-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-7-48-to-sanitize-html-input-and-prevent-xss-attacks.htmBlog - Adam Cameron - CFML: tag-based versions of some script-based codeAs I mentioned yesterday ("CFML: tag-based versions of some script-based code") I've been asked by a couple of people to show the tag-based version of the script-based CFML code. This has ben particularly in reference to my typical approach of using higher-order functions to perform data transformation operations on iterable objects (eg: arrays, structs, lists, etc). Here I will briefly do that for some examples of using mapping functions. The process is the same each time, so I'll not dwell on it too much.https://blog.adamcameron.me/2021/06/cfml-tag-based-versions-of-some-script.htmlhttps://blog.adamcameron.me/2021/06/cfml-higher-order-functions-compared-to.htmlCFML JobsSeveral positions available on https://www.getcfmljobs.com/Listing over 143 ColdFusion positions from 65 companies across 99 locations in 5 Countries.3 new jobs listed this weekFull-Time ColdFusion Developer at Wichita, KS United States Full-Time ColdFusion Application Developer at Mumbai, Maharashtra India Full-Time ColdFusion Application Developer at Pune, Maharashtra IndiaOrtus Jobs https://www.ortussolutions.com/about-us/careersSenior ColdFusion CFML Developer (USA TEAM)Desarollador Web (EL SALVADOR TEAM)ForgeBox Module of the WeekcbauthThe latest update adds an `onInvalidCredentials` interception point as well as passing along the provided username and password to all the authentication-related interception points.https://forgebox.io/view/cbauthVS Code Hint Tips and Tricks of the WeekGitHub Copilot by GitHub (preview)GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that helps you write code faster and with less work.
