    Hacking Your Own FileMaker Platform Solutions

    By Steven H. Blackwell

    Hacking Your Own FileMaker Platform Solutions Should FileMaker Platform developers mount hacking attacks on their own solutions? At first glance, this may seem an odd question. But I believe that the answer is “Yes, we should.” Consider this. As developers we see our solutions from a totally different perspective than Threat Agents see them. Without practicing our own hacking skills, we can become blind to the vulnerabilities a Threat Agent can exploit to compromise the Confidentiality

    A Conversation About '2 Factor Authentication'

    By Josh Ormond

    [ Edit: 3/16/2016 - With the help of some other people, we have been able to recover, or recreate some of the original images from original thread. ] Security is always a big topic when it involves data, or people, or possessions. Recently, over on the FileMaker Community, there was a very beneficial discussion regarding security. Unfortunately, that discussion was the victim of a necessary action...and was deleted. It was deleted, because the discussion was tied to a video that, as was det

Weetbicks Gone Wild (and portals…)

You may have noticed a lack of article postings over the last couple of months, and fewer articles overall this year. Please don't panic for it has not been through laziness or lack of content. Instead, I have been somewhat pre-occupied with other things that I would like to share with you now. Read the full article here

Fixed Width for EDI and Other Reporting

Editor’s note: Today it’s my pleasure to present a guest article written by Beverly Voth. Like many other developers, I have enjoyed and benefitted from her ongoing contributions to the FileMaker community. I do a lot of text manipulation for EDI (Electronic data interchange – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_data_interchange) and plain text exports with fixed-width field data. Some [...] Source

Making portals look more native in FMGo

Portals have come a long way in Filemaker Go. With just a bit of thought though, we can make them even better. You may have noticed that if you try and scroll beyond the content in iOS that you reveal a cross hatch pattern that appears to be in the background. Website scrolling in iOS Filemaker Go even mimics this behavior in some circumstances. If you resize a layout to be smaller than the screen by pinching, or if you scroll past the content in list view you will notice this same

More Fun with Value Lists, part 2

As promised last time, today we’re going to look at a technique from Dr. Osamu Noda, which uses FM 12′s ExecuteSQL to create what appears to be a value list when in fact there are no value lists defined at all. This technique, like some of the others we’ve seen recently, is decidedly esoteric, but [...] Source

DevCon | Best_Practices | Rash | Miami

FileMaker DevCon: My Rash is Gone... I hope you had a great time at DevCon. I did and came home with a rash to prove it. If you're anything like me, you've returned from DevCon and gotten back to your daily grind. You're doing what you do and all the high-mindedness of DevCon is gone - just like my rash. Most of us leave DevCon with a list of things we want to try, practices we want to implement, routine processes we want to improve. Once we return home, we spend a day or two playing '

More Fun with Value Lists, part 1

One of the things I love about FileMaker is how many different ways there are to skin the proverbial cat. Following our recent look at “Magic Value Lists“, I received thought-provoking FileMaker 12 demos from John Ahn and Dr. Osamu Noda.  I’m going to save Dr. Noda’s files for next time, but today we have [...] Source

Magic Value Lists

Folks, we have a superb demo today (MagicValueList), which comes courtesy of Andries Heylen of BH&A… But first a bit of background. Prior to July 18, 2012, if anyone had told me you could base a value list on an unstored field, my response would have something along the lines of… What app are you [...] Source

Calendar Mods

Just got this great screen shot from Shawn Mayers who has integrated our calendar into his solution. Nice work!

FM 12 ExecuteSQL “Unconference” Session

Yesterday I had the pleasure of co-presenting a DevCon “Unconference” session with John Ahn on the topic of ExecuteSQL. I wasn’t sure if there would be much interest in this somewhat geeky subject, but the room was packed, and the audience ran the gamut from SQL newbies to SQL power users. We started out with a [...] Source

Workflow in FM Chat: notifications for FileMaker Server

The ostensible purpose of FM Chat is “chat” –letting your FileMaker users chat and collaborate in a searchable environment that respects FileMaker’s access privileges. But we think the killer feature of FM Chat is “workflow” –alerting your users of events, and presenting them opportunities to take action. We’ve recorded a short movie of a simple example: using FM Chat to send invitations to an event, and record who’s accepted: Going Further. While we created the chat by hand in this

Wim Decorte’s FM 12 Trigger Reference

The other day I had a question about some nuance involving script triggers. The details of that particular question aren’t important, but I recalled that when script triggers were first introduced, Wim Decorte had produced a detailed, color-coded reference. I wondered if he had updated it for FM 12, and it turns out that he [...] Source

Weetbicks Trivia 1.0

A little while ago I received an e-mail asking for ideas on how to implement a multiple choice testing database. It just so happens that I had begun to build a database a few years ago which does just that. While it is not finished, I have decided to release a first version for people to download, dissect and use. Click to read the article and download the database.
