To simplify code dealing with filepaths, it's often worth doing replace(path,'\','/','all') wherever you get a filepath (from the user or from one if the built-in functions) and then you only gave to work with / everywhere else in your code.

I know a lot of devs who have Linux VPS servers setup yet they have difficulty setting up new sites and other day to day tasks. I know when I made the switch to Linux there definitely was a learning curve. Not (necessarily) having a GUI for everything was one of the reasons for my late adoption, but now I find it easier to work through the shell.

CFFormProtect doesn't ask the user to do anything, all validation is behind the scenes.

Thanks for the clarification!

That way your changes will be update safe. One more thing that I would add is that you should first copy the dsp_edit_profile.cfm to your site’s display_objects/custom directory.

I have always felt ahead of the curve using ColdFusion the last 12 years, but building the business logic around my application logic time and time again was getting to be a major drag. Mura + Plugin development seems to take that part of the headache away quite nicely! Any nice surprises you've discovered while developing apps in Mura? @Greg – Thanks for writing.
