    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

    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

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! Here is what Shawn had to say about it: I am working on a solution for a doctors office and one of the features is to have an electronic appointment book. I chose your solution, SeedCode Calendar, to made this request. I was excited about how smoothly the integration worked; so I am sending this email. I have attached a screen shot of what I am working on. Thank you for d

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.

A Simple Backup Script, revisited

In October 2011 I posted a simple backup script that has made my development life easier, but of course that version was for .fp7 files only (the release of FM 12 being six months in the future), and when I began converting files to FileMaker 12, I realized that the backup script was not intelligently [...] Source

Script Comments

We’ve started including FogBugz case numbers in our script comments. This lets us move between FBz and FileMaker pretty quickly: from FBz we can easily search* the scripts in FileMaker for the case number, landing right where we might need to make a change, and from FileMaker we can quickly paste the case number into FBz to see what someone’s question was, or what issue was resolved. *Another place where script search has become part of the daily workflow.

Dwindling Value Lists, part 2

One thing I love about this blog is how much I learn from your comments. Having said at the end of part 1 that I couldn’t think of any serious use for a DVL on a check box set, Michael Rocharde kindly provided this example file (Conditionals), which I am sharing with his permission.

Dwindling Value Lists

A few months ago I mentioned “dwindling value lists” in passing, and said I would do a proper article on them at some point in the future. Well, then FM 12 was released and I went on an ExecuteSQL binge, so I’m just now getting around to honoring my promise. Dwindling Value Lists (DVLs) are [...] Source
