cfscript zip example?

having a hard time getting my wooly head around the zip.cfc from cfcommunity. anyone know of any code examples for the action "zip" bits? thanks.

Any particular reason you don't use the cfzip tag from ColdFusion 8+? Sorry, that's probably not helpful, but hey sometimes people don't read the docs. If you're on Adobe software, I think nothing before CF8 is even supported anymore. nathan strutz [www.dopefly.com] [hi.im/nathanstrutz] [about.me/nathanstrutz] On Sun, Jun 24, 2012 at 7:36 PM, Paul Hastings <paul@sustainablegis.com>wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Paul, Nathan is asking is there any reason you are not using ColdFusion 8 and its tag/script based support for zip, instead of a 3rd party library. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 On Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 6:13 PM, Paul Hastings <paul@sustainablegis.com>wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

There is no script support for cfzip. He is using a script based CFC. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Hmmm, for some reason I thought there had been some functions for zip... Oh well, more tags not converted to script that adobe think we don't use :-( -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 12:48 AM, Raymond Camden <raymondcamden@gmail.com>wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

To be fair, we've been expanded native script functionality _and_ the "Script Stuff as CFCs" in each release. It's getting there. > > Hmmm, for some reason I thought there had been some functions for zip... Oh > well, more tags not converted to script that adobe think we don't use :-(

Yes, we can agree getting there. But would it have not been better to sit down and think that people are going to want cfscript version of everything, and hold of releasing until it is done and not 4 versions later? -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 1:19 AM, Raymond Camden <raymondcamden@gmail.com>wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Probably not - you can either get some things now, or maybe get everything later. Note the word "maybe".

This topic has devolved a bit - let's see if we can actually help Paul Paul, are you just looking for an example of creating a zip file from let's say, a specific directory? I'd be happy to send you a couple of working examples if you tell just what you need it to do. =] -- Alan Rother Manager, Phoenix Cold Fusion User Group, www.AZCFUG.org Twitter: @AlanRother

If we have any takers, I would especially love it if someone would create a demo in the form of an MXUnit test case and issue a pull request. Anyone... ? In fact, if somebody makes a demo, I can make the test case for you and add it to the project. Paul's got a good idea though. We could really use some solid demos. Paul, why not add the missing test case and the missing demos as separate bug reports on github? They're both good ideas. nathan strutz [www.dopefly.com] [hi.im/nathanstrutz] [about.me/nathanstrutz] On Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 6:14 PM, Paul Hastings <paul@sustainablegis.com>wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

They're both good ideas. i would if i 100% understood it in the first place. don't have the time right now to figure it out, hence the email.

Ok, so to clarify, are you using the zip.cfc from https://github.com/CFCommunity/CFScript-Community-Components ? Sorry, I don't think I know Russ, who it looks like authored it. nathan strutz [www.dopefly.com] [hi.im/nathanstrutz] [about.me/nathanstrutz] On Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 1:13 AM, Paul Hastings <paul@sustainablegis.com>wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Ever. the cfcommunity's done a good job w/some of what was missing--it's just this one case where *i'm* not getting the syntax. you guys don't have to do it all alone.
