Create Custom Tags in Smith Project

Known Issues with Smith

Wed, 06 Jun 2007 11:41:01 GMT

For now, this entry will serve as a central point for cfopen participants to log issues relating to Smith Project's handling of CFML.

As of this posting the issues I have encountered and since reported to the Smith team:

<cfrethrow> tag not supported
CreateObject() not supported. (NEED this!)
Application.cfm doesn't seem to be behaving the same as in ColdFusion. In order to get the Application.cfm code to run I ended up needing to <cfinclude> it at the top of a template.
Custom tag paths are a mystery right now. No mater what I tried, I couldn't get custom tags to execute.

I have reported all of these issues to Smith via email, and if they hadn't been noted on their forum already, I made note there as well.

If you encounter anything new, please leave a comment here and I will report it to Smith.

CentOS Server (w/GUI) vmware machine now available

This won't be the final VM for centOS, I still need to add tomcat as a startup service. But I created the torrent, so if you can download this before I change it feel free.

Ubuntu Server vmware machine now available

I finally got a good stripped down VM (I hope!) ready for people to try. It has the latest Ubuntu Server distribution (7.04) with the latest Apache (built from source).

I haven't done a ton of testing on it. I have been busy putting the how to's together for both Ubuntu Server and CentOS.

EDIT: Can't get the torrent working right just yet. Thanks to Ryan Everhart for allowing us to host the VM's on his box.

What do we need from you? Please download the torrent and seed it for us! (thats easy right?).

once you boot in, you can log in via command line, and then run the command

startx

If you would like to make this VM more of a desktop, you can run this command in a terminal

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'

cfopen is born.

In the very near future, we are going to be offering "How To's" on how to set up your very own 100% free and open source CFML stack. If you would like to be a part of the cfopen.com initiative, please contact us here .

We are going to need:

-A hosting option.

-Some developers to help come up with some kind of project directory/index.

-A designer for a cool cfopen.com design.

-A ton of developers writing open source code!
