Happy 4th of July!! And to commemorate this great holiday, why not have a surprise features. Yes, CFEclipse tag insight, function and scope insight for ColdBox. You can now have insight into the major scopes of ColdBox like event, rc, controller and also all the methods that are used in event handlers, plugins, layouts and views. WOW!! A handy way of coding, and much much faster.

This might be a little late and silent, but thanks to Mark Drew and his insatiable coding skills we received a few days ago CFEclipse 1.3.1.5 and with it an update to the CFFrameworks Plugin which includes support for ColdBox. This support is to visually see and maintain the ColdBox configuration file. You can view all of your settings and aspects, very nice indeed.

If you downloaded the Dashboard and are having problems with the client variables error, then don't worry, its just the clientmanagement setting to true that throws it. I have attached an Application.cfc for you that you can use instead. The next release will include an uncompiled Application.cfc Sorry for this...

I just finished today my first presso with CFframeworks on ColdBox and man what an ordeal. The Adobe Connect completely failed on my Mac and rendered it useless. So I had to scramble to export the keynote to powerpoint, copy some files to my PC and try to get something going. So I truly apologize for not sticking to the entire agenda, but technical problems ensued. The worst thing is that I did not have a mic for the PC, so I hijacked a p...

I am happy to announce that Rob Gonda will be contributing to ColdBox architecture & development. His experience and software engineering skills are a true asset to this small team. He has already inspected almost the entire code base and is coming up with some incredible...
