Recently we have been working more and more with Mailchimp which makes designing and sending email newsletters easy. A missing piece was the integration into our own application. Mailchimp has an easy and extensive API unfortunately there are only basic implementations for Coldfusion and Coldbox framework. So we ended up writing own, our goal is to offer a feature complete API wrapper.
This is more a quick note than a decent blog post. Recently there was a question of the CFML Slack channel where a user received a Proxy Timeout 502 from Apache which looked like this
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /index.cfm/yourUrl.Reason: Error reading from remote server
Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at x.x.x.x Port 80
We recently wrote a small module for Contentbox CMS which makes it easier to setup Universal Google Analytics and enable a few options. While it's pretty easy to insert a Google Analytics tracking snippet in the Global Html section of Contentbox this approach has a few downsides
Accessing Google Cloud Vision API from Coldbox or directly from Coldfusion. This module gives you access to many image recognition capabilities
Neun Monaten nach dem Launch des Cobi Online Shops wurde der erste Facelift von Akitogo umgesetzt. Der wesentliche Fokus lag auf der für Mobilgeräte optimierten Bedienung. Die daraus resultierende Hauptaufgabe für dieses Projekt war es, die vorher existierende Struktur im HTML und CSS in ein homogenes Format zu bringen.
If you want to match an IP address with country, city, latitude or longitude then you might be interested in our just updated Coldbox module which is available on Github.
Contentbox CMS comes with built-in Coldfusion CFImage Captcha to protect blog comments from Spam. Unfortunately this Captcha not very safe and not very readable. We have written a small module to improve Spam protection using Google reCaptcha.
