Verity Indexing

[Chikowski]

I have created and indexed a collection called Stds_Specs. The problem that I
have know is that when one of the users uploads a file, I want verity to search
for previous versions of that file, either alert the user and/or overwrite the
file, then index that file without reindexing the whole collection to make the
uploading process faster. I do not want to have a scheduled update of the
collection.

What I have is:

For the Form Page:

<cfform action="Upload_File_A.cfm" name="UploadForm"
enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" >
<cfinput type="file" name="file_name" size="50"
onkeypress="javascript:alert('To ensure the validity of the file being
uploaded, please use the browse button.'); return false;"></td>
<cfinput type="submit" value="Submit" name="In_Data" />
</cfform>

For the Action Page:

<cffile
action="upload"
filefield="file_name"
destination="Collections\Data"
nameconflict="makeunique">
<cfindex action="update"
collection="Stds_Specs"
type="file"
key="Collections\Data">
<cfoutput>Done</cfoutput>

What am I doing wrong, or what can I do to make this better.

You don't want to use CF's Verity functionality to check for a duplicate or
previous version of a file. You want to use CFDIRECTORY/CFFILE for that.

If I recall correctly, you'll want to use CFINDEX action=update to add new
keys/documents to the collection. The action=refresh does a purge then a
complete rebuild instead.

How would someone go about checking for an existing document with the CFDIRECTORY/CFFILE?

FileExists(ExpandPath(yourfile)) Boolean yes or no

<cfif FileExists(ExpandPath(yourfile))>
<p>Your file exists in this directory. You entered
the correct file name, #GetFileFromPath("#thisPath#/#yourfile#")#
<cfelse>
file not found
</cfif>

FileExists(ExpandPath(yourfile)) Boolean yes or no

<cfif FileExists(ExpandPath(yourfile))>
<p>Your file exists in this directory. You entered
the correct file name, #GetFileFromPath("#thisPath#/#yourfile#")#
<cfelse>
file not found
</cfif>

I tried the above code as is, but it did not work for me. I got the error,
"yourfile" is undefined. I pluged in "file_name" in for "yourfile" and it
works, but it doesn't find the file that i know is there.

What am i doing wrong?

I have setup a verity collection and indexed my website, but when you do a
search on the site, the results that are returned when performing the search
display the coldfusion code as the description rather than the page content. Is
there a way of choosing what is returned as document description??

also, when verity indexes doc files, the results that are returned is just a
blank entry, i.e. no document title, no title text and no description. how do i
get verity to search these properly.

Thanks
