Coldfusion zip code radius

Within 40 miles of zip code An API will be queried, I will match results to my database and display the vehicles by distance from More deeply, although you probably have better ideas, this will send the distance and zip parameters via an API and return all zip codes and distance from the initial zip code.

But, if you look above at our source directory, you will see there are no files, just the images and documents sub directories. And, as you can see from the error, ColdFusion will not create a zip that has no files in it. ColdFusion 8 also gives us the ability to filter files when we are zipping directories. The filter attribute of the CFZip tag takes a comma-delimited list of file masks. The file mask seems to be able to take the wild-card character asterisk as well as any literal file character I could not find much more information on the file filter.

The following code will zip the data directory but will only include image files:. Notice that because we let the CFZip tag use many default attribute values, ColdFusion recursed the data directory and stored the original file paths.

Also notice that our file extension filter was not case sensitive our filter used upper case values and matched files with lower case extensions. While I cannot test this, I assume that on a Linux machine where file case does matter, this would be case sensitive but, of course, that is just a theory.

The file filter works with more than just file extensions; you can use it to filter any part of the file name. This filter, for example:. On a final note, we supplied the full path name to all of our target zip files.

If you supply a non-expanded zip file archive name, ColdFusion will store the zip in the ColdFusion temporary directory. This is the same directory that can be accessed using the GetTempDirectory function. It's pretty amazing how functional this is.

And remember, since ColdFusion will, by default, not overwrite an existing zip archive, you can use the CFZip tag multiple times to zip many files and directories into the same archive.

If I had one complaint about this awesome new tag, it's that after having worked a lot with the CFImage tag which can create in-memory image objects, it felt strange that CFZip could not create in-memory zip archives. Oh well. In our next part, we will examine how to create zip archives using CFZip in conjunction with the CFZipParam tag; this gives us even more power.

Great post Ben. You're really saving the folks responsible for the ColdFusion Devnet tutorials at Adobe, a whole lot of time. This is an awesome new feature. Finally I should be able to build my file manager app that enables me upload my websites in a single zip file that will be extracted, maintaining the proper directory structure, by ColdFusion on a server. I have to download image files off of a another server and zip them up. I have a url for each image and right now I'm using cfhttp to get the image.

Good article, but, I develope in J2EE and this features is already available for a long time. What about zipping empty folders? When I attempt to do that, the empty folders don't make it into the zip file. I'm trying to create a zipped template. I am trying to zip files using cf7 but I got a library and its giving me errors. Much appreciated! Light Dark. The ColdFusion 8 CFZip tag allows us to: Create zip archives Extract zip archives List the contents of zip archives Delete zip archives And, do just about all of the above in a piece-wise fashion While this list is not long, it is a lot of information to cover.

This is a permanent entry-level position. Only citizens and green card holders. No visa sponsorship is available at this time. Thank you. Tags coldfusion , job. That is very upsetting news. I realized it when I tried to generate an image on the fly with use of getPageContext. The server returned "License exceptin thrown" error. Unfortuanately, but I can't do anything about it. I do not have a solution to this problem so far.
