Do you support cfform?
Yes, this is supported.
Do you support ColdFusion Report Builder
The ColdFusion Report Builder uses RDS for the Query Builder. We have RDS disabled for security purposes as recommended by Adobe / Macromedia.
We suggest downloading the developer edition of ColdFusion and Report builder, installing locally. Build the reports with the local development environment and upload the ColdFusion Report Files (CFR files) to our servers. Specify the path to your pre-built report files from within the cfreport tag which is NOT disabled.
Do you support Custom Tags with your ColdFusion Hosting?
We do support custom tags, but not all .cfx custom tags, which may require additional server installs of .dll's, etc. If it is a commercially available tag, we'll consider installing it.
Standard .cfm custom tags, yes.
Custom Tag directories for your site can be created through the site's Application.cfc file as shown in the ColdFusion Tips & Tricks wiki.
Do you support the tags CFFILE, CFDIRECTORY and CFOBJECT?
Yes, these are supported.
Do you support Scheduled Tasks for Coldfusion?
Yes, ColdFusion Scheduled Tasks are supported.
To setup a schedule task in ColdFusion, you can use the CFSCHEDULE tag to create the scheduled task the first time. The ColdFusion Tips & Tricks wiki shows how to use the CFSCHEDULE tag.
Do you support the CFX_IMAGE tag?
Is CFX_JpegResize allowed on your ColdFusion servers?
Yes, this is installed and allowed on our 32-bit ColdFusion servers.
Will you deploy my (CAR) file from the Coldfusion Administrator?
We will not deploy it that way, as that is a default method that wouldn't benefit you on our shared servers. Instead, please deploy your application through FTP and create the datasource (DSN) through your control panel at wcp.hostek.com. Please see the WCP DataSources wiki for instructions on how to create a datasource.
Note: If you have a VPS or Dedicated server at Hostek.com, you can deploy your application how you wish. Please see our VPS Plans page for more info on our VPS options, and our Virtual Dedicated Plans page for details on our virtual dedicated servers.
