I have done a quick direct comparison of quality between ColdFusion 8 cfimage tag and the cfx_imagecr3 tag from Efflare.

Other frameworks can be added too, like Transfer ORM, because the whole system is XML driven. This is HUGE! It looks like some features are: Automagically determining […]
I have seen many different ways of doing this, but to my knowledge this is the most accurate way. Using SQL you can have your database return the distance between 2 sets of Lat and Long points, and using some math functions also take into account the curvature of the earth. Admittedly if you are […]
I have all of my photos over on Flickr and wanted a small blogCFC pod on the right side to display the most recent uploads. Here is how I did it. First create a new pod within blogcfc, this is easily done by going to the /tags/layout.cfm and adding a line in amongst the other […]
