Blog is now powered by Railo CFML

Mar 10, 2013 27152 Views Railo , MySQL , BlogCFC , ColdFusion Comments (0)

I moved my blog from CF 8 and SQL Server to Railo and MySQL as backend three months before. The migration went very smooth and till date I didn't have any issues. Since I'm using blogCFC for my blog I didn't do much on the coding front rather the changes happened on the SQL Server to MySQL conversion only. I would like to thank Charlie Arehart for helping and Jordon & Mark from Viviotech for providing the hosting for my site.

Creating a Yearly Archives Pod in blogCFC

Mar 14, 2009 10366 Views BlogCFC , ColdFusion Comments (3)

This post is to show how we can create a yearly archive pod in blogCFC. I have recently modified my blogCFC design and I'm really happy on that customization. So the first thing we need to do is adding a new function in the blog.cfc component which is under org > camden > blog folder in your blog root.

<cffunction name="getYearlyArchives" access="remote" returnType="query" output="false"
hint="Function to fetch the blogged years.">

<cfset var getYearlyArchives = "" />

<cfquery name="getYearlyArchives" datasource="#instance.dsn#" username="#instance.username#" password="#instance.password#">
   Select year(tblblogentries.posted) as bloggedyears
   From    tblblogentries
   Where    tblblogentries.blog = <cfqueryparam value="#instance.name#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
   group by year(tblblogentries.posted)
   order by bloggedyears desc
</cfquery>

<cfreturn getYearlyArchives />

</cffunction>

As part of my 2009 task list and to improve my knowledge in web design I have planned to change my blog look and feel. So I played with the BlogCFC code and want to say that it's really easy to change the entire theme and implement a new look and feel for your blog. All the credits go to ColdFusion Jedi for his brilliant BlogCFC project to CF community. I used styleshout template for the theme and modified the design according to my interest. Let me know what you think about this new design and thanks for stopping here to read my post.
