Using the Kendo pager anywhere within a page.
The kendoPager is a beautiful widget that typically allows the user to navigate through a Kendo grid. It has fast forward and forward buttons to go to the first item and the previous item, displays the current page, which you can click to select another page, and forward and fast forward buttons to select the next and the last grid page. It is an intuitive control that is adaptive and themable. This article will show you how to use the Kendo Pager anywhere on a page.
An open source version of Kendo Core is incorporated in Galaxie Blog
I have incorporated the open source version of Telerik's Kendo UI into Galaxie Blog. The reasons for this are numerous. ColdFusion on the server side is great, but in my opinion, relying upon ColdFusion for the UI was a zero sum game- its outdated, proprietary, and just plain buggy. Several years ago, I ditched using ColdFusion's UI, and moved on using Kendo with jQuery
ColdFusion error: The current user is not authorized to invoke this method.
I wanted to document this as this error is not often found using google, but if you receive a ColdFusion error "The current user is not authorized to invoke this method.", it could be due to using the roles attribute in a cfffunction tag that don't match the roles that you set using the cflogin tag upon successful login.
Galaxie Blog default user name and password after fresh installation
In order to log into the administrative section of the blog after installation, use 'admin' as the user name, and 'admin' as the password. Be sure to change the password after logging in for the first time. In this version, the administrative section is nearly identical to the original BlogCfc administration interface with a lot more settings included. I will likely change this in the next version.
