Another free ColdFusion service - cfaday

I've just published the last piece of the puzzle. For those who read my last blog post, you should be already familiar with the "a day series"

It's a small set of applications aimed to all ColdFusion Developers who want to go the extra mile, and not limit their knowledge to only a small set of information.

The functionality is pretty simple, you set one of the URL's as your homepage, and every time you open a new page/tab, it shows you a new ColdFusion function or tag deppending on the flavor you chose.

I'm now publishing the version that includes it all:

Tag of the day: CFIMAGE Captcha (part 2)

as this tag does a whole bunch of things, I decided to show one more usage example. Today I'm gonna show some captcha:

<cfimage action="captcha" fontSize="18" width="150" height="75" text="placona" difficulty="low">

Which will display something like this:

<cfimage action="captcha" fontSize="18" width="150" height="75" text="placona" difficulty="medium">

Displaying something like:

<cfimage action="captcha" fontSize="18" width="150" height="75" text="placona" difficulty="high">

Which displays my favorite and hardest one.

See how easy we go from very simple to very complex captchas by only changing the attribute difficulty?

Hope you liked the examples.

Tag of the day: CFIMAGE

I was playing with my Alpha version of Scorpio and found some interesting new functions for images. The tag of the day was CFIMAGE

The marketing is what moves the business.

As most of the CF Developers are men, I decided to use this image :-) That was just 1% of what this tag can do, and here's the code:

<cfimage source="test.jpg" name="myImage"> <cfset attr = StructNew()> <cfset attr.underline = "no"> <cfset attr.size = 13> <cfset attr.style = "bold"> <cfset ImageSetDrawingColor(myImage,"white")> <cfset ImageDrawText(myImage,"placona.co.uk",90,170,attr)> <cfimage source="#myImage#" action="writeToBrowser">

Ps. I'm not breaking any NDA here as all the code shown here has been shown in previous posts about Scorpio's new features
