Welcome to our new blog.  We have finally migrated from our individual team author blog to a community official blog for the ColdBox Framework.  This blog will showcase news, release information, bug information, community driven questions, events, media, presentations, tips & tricks, tutorials, and well, the rest.  We will also be multi-authoring posts by all the members of the team, so we can get a wide range of authoring from the team.  So enjoy this blog as another repository of knowledge for the ColdBox Framework.

Just a note that our blog is powered by Mango and what a sweet blog it is.  I am extremely happy with it and all of its features and directions.  The only bad thing about it, is that it doesn't run on ColdBox :)

Shame you didn't eat your own dogfood and use the ColdBox version of BlogCFC. ;)

I'm trying to learn MVC using ColdBox after several years away from CF. I use BlogCFC for my own blog, and it would be very helpful if you could do some posts that explain the thought processes you went through when migrating the site to ColdBox.

thanks rob. However the version of blogcfc is super old when I migrated it so mango was a great choice for us.We also added a simple blog app tosvn we will release for version 2.6.2 in a few weeks.

Coming Soon:  Version 4 Docker CommandBox Images with Enhanced Performance

Coming Soon: Version 4 Docker CommandBox Images with Enhanced Performance

CommandBox Docker images were the first CFML docker images and have nearly 2 million pulls, since their inception, to date. It's been a source of pride at Ortus that these images have been the most popular and reliable way to run CFML in containers and we are so very pleased to announce the next evolution, which will be the v4 images which run entirely on the BoxLang CLI and represent a significant overhaul of the image architecture.

These images are now available to test by appending -snapshot to your existing version tags and wil be released as stable, once CommandBox v6 emerges from release candidate status and is published as stable.

Inherited a CFML Application With Few Tests? Here’s Where to Start!

Inherited a CFML Application With Few Tests? Here’s Where to Start!

You need to change an application that has been running for years.

It might be a ColdFusion customer portal, a Lucee application supporting internal operations, or a CFML system your team is preparing to modernize. People depend on it, but some of its behavior lives in old tickets, scattered documentation, and the memory of whoever has supported it longest.

Now a release is approaching. You know more testing would help. The difficult part is deciding where to begin without putting every other priority on hold.

Start with one important workflow and build evidence around what it needs to do.
