Hey all, quick roll call, I am looking for folks using Adobe ColdFusion with a focus on the following use sets: • Report builder specifically • Graphs and charting • Image (specifically cfimage, or if you're leveraging another library alongside cf) • Spreadsheet manipulation, reading, etc. Please reply in thread with which thing you're doing and the version of CF you're using it on. We are doing research for updates to libraries in those particular areas.

Charts with CF2021 ( and soon to be CF2023 )! Getting inconsistent results on identical production and dev setups. Would be nice for some attention in this area.

CF 2021 • Report Builder - but in maintenance mode because of outdated editor • Graphs and charting • Spreadsheet reading and creating

We are using Spreadsheet stuff in CF2018 soon to be CF2021

We did use some of those but have been removing them all. Charts etc are now done with JS (Apache Charts), cfspreadsheet replaced with spreadsheet-cfml. Still use cfimage. Never used report builder. It is nice being able to upgrade libraries independently to CF release cycles.

Phasing out cfimage for cloudinary. Phased out graphs for amCharts. CF2021. If the lack of usage for different options helps at all. Long term phasing out CF for NodeJS
t
CF2018 at the moment, we use everything in the list pretty regularly except cfimage. Though we’ve slowly started phasing out anything to do with report builder as it’s an absolute nightmare to maintain CFRs. We’ve also started switching out graphs with chart.js

• Use Report Builder - CF2016 , CFIMAGE CF2016 - CF2018 - CF2023?? (planned) Spreedsheet Creation using CF10 (YES, Shhh) Cf11, CF2016, CF2018 -- CF2023 , Graphs and Charts & Dashboards using varity of Js libs. CF10, CF11, CF2016, CF2018, CF2023 -- Planned.

Using CF2018 migrating to CF2021. • Do not use Report Builder • Have used cfchart sparingly. Moving towards a combination of javascript charting libraries including Google Charts, amChart, apexCharts, chartJs, etc. • Using cfimage for basic image handling to create image thumbnails, rotating and cropping photos. • Using cfspreadsheet when more complex formatting and multi-tabbed workbooks are needed. Migrating basic sheet creation to javascript library DataTables with built-in spreadsheet generation. The DataTables Editor library would be great to have better integration with Coldfusion, since it seems to be built to work with PHP better.

Using CF2021. • do not use report builder, had never heard of it till recently • still have one site using cfchart but have migrated most to CanvasJS • using CFimage for creating thumbnails, rotate, crop, resizing • use cfspreadsheet quite a bit for generating spreadsheets from accounting reports, surveys, etc.

Heavy Report Builder users here (I'm with @Rich Toomsen)- we're currently on CF2018, but will be upgrading to 2021 over the summer. We also use lots of spreadsheet functionality, as well as image stuff here and there.

Myka do you mean you work with Rich, or you're on the same page? 🙂

But you should still give us 2 votes. 😉

cfimage & spreadsheet stuff in CF2021

CF2016 wanting to move to CF2023. We ditched CFIMAGE a while back for performance reasons, just wasn't fast enough, Instead we used to use CFX_OPENIMAGE, PNGQUANT, and something else I've forgotten But now we're solely using libvips, which is amazeballs. Super fast. Great results. WEBP and AVIF support. If you could use libvips for CFIMAGE under the hood. Would be awesome. Report wise I think we're using Chart JS, but we're not doing very complex reports. amcharts in the past. Keen to try the cfspreadsheet and cfhtmltopdf in CF2023. Currently we're using WKHTMLTOPDF with much swearing.

@Mark Takata (Adobe) - just saw this, but for FF: 1. none. 2. we're switching all charting to Domo. 3. not here, but i used it at my last job and was always amused that it would fail on so many types of images. the amusement was because Photoshop could open them just fine. 😉 (PS, meet your brother CF... CF, meet your brother PS...) 4. we do a little <cfspreadsheet> but mostly use POI since it's more customizable.
