Running a website, on top of your normal job duties can be a lot of work. Time is valuable, and important when trying to plan your content and the corresponding social media publication. This is the reason why we created an important ( but often overlooked ) feature, Publication and Expiration dates for content. You might be surprised what in ContentBox is date controlled.

Today we continue our 12 Tips of (CommandBox) Christmas series aimed at bringing warmth, holiday cheer, and useful information to a cubicle near you.  CommandBox does a lot of things online for you.  It connects to ForgeBox, the CFML package repository, it downloads CF engines to start servers, and can even update your packages to new versions.  This is great when some Starbucks Wifi is in reach, but what about at 30,000 ft or working on the road.  You still need to be able to start up servers, install dependencies, kick butt, and take names (all in the Christmas spirit, of course!).  Here are some clever tricks to keep you working even when the network is unplugged.

More and more people are starting to use CommandBox for their local development, especially among teams who want to quickly and easily start up the same environment on each of their machines.  That has led to the most common question now for CommandBox users which is: "How do I automatically configure my ColdFusion/Lucee settings on my server?"

This is a fair question, and for the most part I've treated configuring the settings in your CF engine to be outside the realm of what CommandBox tries to solve.  The reality is, the CF engines often times fall short and people need a better way.  Here's a guide for your current options when it comes to configuring the settings on your CF engine.
