Today, I upgraded website www.wheelsnext.com to Adobe's ColdFusion 8. So far everything seems fine. I just did couple changes to the Java memory settings, had to set again the class path to couple cfx tags and everything else CF 8 migration wizard took care.

I hope with this upgrade to fix some Jrun error issues we had with CF7. And also feel the improvement in speed that the CF community have been telling around.

Hoje, eu fiz o upgrade do site www.wheelsnext.com para o ColdFusion 8 da Adobe. Até agora tudo parece bem. Só tive que fazer algumas mudanças nas configurações JVM, tive que setar novamente o class path de duas CFX tags usadas e tudo mais o assistente de migração dele resolveu.

Espero que com esse upgrade os problemas com erros de Jrun sejam resolvidos para esse site. E tambem experimentar a melhora em performance que a comunidade CF tem falado tanto.

I am using jquery's thickbox 3.1 for an image gallery. My problem started because the previous developer made the site using iframes. I strong recommend you not using iframes or frames, and there are many reasons for you to not using them.

Of course this is a hack, and the best scenario you shouldn't use frames and then do the coding in "perfect" manner.

In order to make the thickbox work inside an iframe you must do the following:

1 - Add jquery and thickbox files to both main and iframe pages. This is required so the previous and next link works on the inline popup (thickbox).

2 - Make the following changes to the thickbox.js file

2.1. - Replace the code inside the function tb_init(domChunk) tb_show(t,a,g); to self.parent.tb_show(t,a,g,window);

2.2. - Replace function TB_show(caption, url, imageGroup) to function TB_show(caption, url, imageGroup, refWindow)

2.3. - Replace TB_TempArray = $("a[@rel="+imageGroup+"]").get(); to TB_TempArray = refWindow.$("a[@rel="+imageGroup+"]").get();

2.4. - Replace tb_show(TB_PrevCaption, TB_PrevURL, imageGroup); to tb_show(TB_PrevCaption, TB_PrevURL, imageGroup, refWindow);

2.5. - Replace tb_show(TB_NextCaption, TB_NextURL, imageGroup); to tb_show(TB_NextCaption, TB_NextURL, imageGroup, refWindow);

3 - Now the code for your links must be something like this:

That's all you need. It took me while to figure this out. On the internet I found some information but it was confusing so I decided to compile everything in one post. I hope this helps anyone looking to do the same.

I am a big Google fan. I love the way they make simple things so effective. Google Maps is one of the most amazing web applications that I use on a daily basis. Google docs and Gmail are also amazing.

Today, my friend Fabio from CFGIGOLO posted about them now been able to route the Brazilian streets. Not only big cities but small ones like where I came from. That's amazing since the streets and the traffic in my country it is not so organized as in the USA and Europe. Thumbs up for Google again! ;)

p.s.1: After playing a little with Google maps in Brazil. I can just say that there's a lot to improve. At least on my city, Fortaleza - Brazil. The traffic information is totally wrong.
