Hi Guys, I have a web viewer which is simply a clock. I have looked over the forum for the solution but can not seem to get my head around where to retrieve what I want which is - the current time sent to a variable.From what i can gather - you have to use a left, middle etc in a calc to return the value ( or thats what i am assuming) my issue is where and how?. Here is the detail inside my webViewer: "data:text/html, <html> <head> <script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'> function displayClock() { var digital = new Date(); var hours = digital.getHours(); var minutes = digital.getMinutes(); …

I'm trying to incorporate a Set Time and Get Time component to my webviewer, which currently plays video. I want to be able to jump to certain times in the video, based on what we enter. So if a certain dialog starts at 3:04, we can click on that story and the video will skip ahead. Can't seem to get any form of script to work within the web viewer, but this is what I'm going for: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_av_prop_currenttime though a more advanced and ideal set-up would be this: https://www.developphp.com/video/JavaScript/Video-Player-Custom-Controls-Programming-Tutorial I'm having no luck with either. Any advice?

I'm using Filemaker to keep inventory of personal digital video including many on youtube. I store urls to youtube videos and launch them within FM's Web Viewer. When I advance from one FM record to another, the new url launches the different youtube video, however the audio from the previous record continues. Is this a bug? or should I be using a "clear" or "stop" command in a script that I'm not aware of.

I'm probably missing something obvious.... If I open the attached file in a webviewer, it works as expected. "file:/" & Get(DesktopPath) & "testpopup.html" However, if I copy the code from that file and paste it into a field codeHTML and then use the following webviewer calculation "data:text/html," & codeHTML, then the popups don't work. I'm on Filemaker Pro Advanced 13.0v3 on Mac OS X 10.10.5 The code will be changing dynamically so I'd rather not have to be exporting a temp file every time in order for popups to work. Any ideas? [p.s. the code allows you to create popups using CSS only, no Javascript. credit goes to Prakash Nakrani: http://www.seven…

Filemaker 13 Pro Advanced. Mac Yosemite. I'm pulling my hair out - maybe somebody can offer a suggestion before there is no more hair left. I can't for the life of me figure out how to script a click in a web page or a web viewer. I have tried all of the following: • Opening a web page outside of FM (in Safari) and trying to click in that window via: - AppleScript from w/i FM (get an Assistive Access error, even though I've allowed FM in Privacy & Security settings - Opening an Automator-created application via Send Event (can't choose the application) • Opening the same page in a Web Viewer and trying to click via the same methods above. Same problems. …

Hey All, I'm taking a stab at some custom controls and came across this example here: http://scarpettagroup.com/using-jquery-ui-filemaker-part-2/ I'm using this slider: http://jqueryui.com/slider/#steps It seems simple, but it's not rendering in my webviewer other than the title: "Donation amount ($50 increments):" Thanks!

Hello, I am trying to learn FM and at the same time build myself an ebook library tool that will scrape Amazon.com to pull data like title, author, rating, etc. -- based on the user (me!) submitting a book product ID -- which Amazon calls an "ASIN." I have searched online for a similar solution or template, but have only found bits and pieces of a solution so I am trying to build one myself -- and hopefully learn FM in the process. Here's what I have been able to accomplish so far. Don't laugh... 1) Create a field into which a user can enter an Amazon ASIN (like "B00FYW9VHC") 2) Use that data to generate an Amazon image URL (like ' alt='' class='ipsImage'…

Hi Guys, I've wrote some javascript which works fine in internet explorer. When I run the script from my hosted server from the web viewer it fails. Does anyone know of any methods/ways I can use to capture whats happening in the console. The Mac version allows you to inspect the element and write to a log, however I'm really stuck with debugging the Windows version Thanks Jalz

Hi all I have a web viewer in a FMP database layout. All is functioning fine in the web viewer. Inside the web viewer I have a variable which is just a string of text. I can get this variable to print on screen in the web viewer so I am sure it is performing properly. However, I would like to now take this variable and its value and pass it back to FMP for use in a search script. I have fiddled around with the FMP URL, but I can not make it work. Currently, the variable name is "msg" and the url I am attempting to use looks like this: <a href="FMP://$/MyFMPdatabase/script=isolatesearch¶m=msg&value=$msg"> The error it throws is this: "The file M…

I currently have a web viewer that contains a google map. On this map I can draw a rectangle to select an area of the map. I collect the the latitude and longitude of the southwest corner and northeast corner into java variables. I am able to print these java variables on the web viewer. They look like this in the web viewer and are formatted in such a way as to be ready for a search range in FMP: NE: 43.02144735023339...43.06470481674727SW: -76.24412939453123...-76.07445532226564 I would like to collect each of these variables and pass them back to a FileMaker scrip which will perform a find on two fields.

Hey Guys, Has anyone implemented a html WYSIWYG editor in FileMaker using javascript files stored inside of filemaker and not hosted on a server. I've implemented TinyMCE into the web viewer, however I'm hosting the tinyMCE files onto a server and then posting data to a PHP page which returns it back into FileMaker. I find this a little slow performance wise and I would rather try and get the fmp URL and post data directly back to FileMaker. Would be interested to hear thoughts, ideally need an editor where I can pick the database fields from a drop down. Ive looked at JQTE editor and thats too basic to use as you can't initialise fields to pick from.

I am using the web viewer to listen to .wav files. This works great 90% of the time. My inconsistency problem comes from URL encoding I believe. Actual file name: -CCSKD#W01568613.WAV I can navigate to this working url in safari: http://1.1.1.1/folder/-CCSKD%23W01568613.WAV This is the url I am setting the web viewer to: http://1.1.1.1/folder/-CCSKD%23W01568613.WAV This is what GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( "player" ; "source" ) shows: http://1.1.1.1/folder/-CCSKD%2523W01568613.WAV I know that a pound sign (#) is encoded only if a number character (0 through 9) follows it.

Running Filemaker Pro 13 on Mac OS X 10.10.5 I found some earlier posts on this issue, and many suggest to open the file in Safari and copy the location URL, but that isn't working for me. I keep getting "The requested URL was not found on this server." error in the Web Viewer field. Seems like this should be a fairly straightforward use case right? Alternatively, if someone knows how to allow an image to scale to fit horizontally in a container to allow for vertical scrolling, that's what I'm trying to do with the web viewer. Thanks, Ryan

I am not sure where to put this question, but I figured it was closest to Web Viewer in nature. I am using the 'insert from URL' script step in order to get information from yahoo stock prices. It works just great on wifi on FM Go, but on Mobile (iPhone) it does not work any longer. I get the error 'Connection Failed'. The funny thing is that if I put my iPhone on tether (personal hospot), and use my iPad or another iPhone and connect to the tethered phone via the iPhone's wifi hotspot, it works just fine. Confusing, I know, but I hope I got the idea across. Any ideas?

Not sure if this is possible or exactly how to achieve this but here is the problem. I have a client who has stored a lot of documents on google drive. Showing those docs in a web viewer is ok and doable however, they want a document from GD to be shown in a web viewer as PDF and then to be able to be emailed from within the solution. I am not sure if this is doable how to do it if it is doable. (There is no ability to email directly from the web viewer on an Ipad as far as I can see there is an option to print or download only). Hoping someone can shed some light on the subject.

Hello... it's great to be back on the forum. I've been gone a few years. I've got a database with many records in it. Specifically, flight records for a drone. Every second it captures the lat long of a flight along with altitude info and motor performance specs. I wanted to scan those files and create a google map overlay of my flights over the last few years. I want to be able to use the webviewer to map these points from the records and show it on something like a global web viewer... Any ideas how I might go about doing this? Imagine 1500 records each with it's own lat long value. And then I'm going to create essentially flight paths on a google earth view m…

I've got a database (see attached) that collects data in 2 tables, the parent "Survey" table which collects the date of the survey and the location of the shore platform (latitude & longitude). The platform is on the edge of a cliff where we look out for marine mammals and turtles and fix their position using a theodolite. These animal fixes are collected in a child table "contacts" with the species name and the latitude and longitude of the position. I want to be able to plot the contacts at various levels (all contacts, or just the contacts for that survey day (it's portal records). The ability to also show the Shore Station on the map as a different symbol in addit…

In my Web Viewer now, Google Maps has started saying it is the Lite version of Google Maps. There is a thunderbolt symbol that will let you open what they call the Full version, but it opens in Safari, not in the Web Browser. Previously, I could right-click on the map, choose What's Here from a popup menu and the result would display the GSP coordinates. That doesn't work in the Lite version any more, but it still does work in what Google is calling the Full version. I don't want to open the map in the browser, I want to stay in the Web Browser. Anyway to do that?

Maybe this is a little OCD, but do you know of any way to remove the Embossed Border when looking at a web viewer in FileMaker? I'm running Windows XP (haven't taken a look on a Mac yet). I tried adding the following to my header, but I'm guessing this is a FileMaker thing, and not a page formatting thing: body {overflow:hidden}; body {margin:0;padding:0;} I do a lot with GUI and would like to more seamlessly integrate the web viewer into my layouts. Thanks for the help! :

Hey everyone I've been experimenting with BusinessMan CRM and have noticed they have a lot of custom PHP(?) work running within web viewers. A couple examples are the email client, scheduler, and the document "explorer" (similar to Windows Explorer). A quick Google search didn't yield much in terms of how a developer could achieve these tricks... and have them interact with content stored within FMP. Can anybody point me in the right direction? My client is wanting a document explorer, and they referenced BusinessMan in particular as an example - but not sure where to even start?

I am looking into integrating the APIs provided by my courier service, Interlink, into Filemaker. To start at the beginning, is this actually possible? According to Interlink, their APIs will allow the tracking of the parcels we send within a client's website. This feature within Filemaker could prove invaluable within our database. However, there is little to be found online about Filemaker with APIs. Are we talking about a custom function? Clearly, I am immensely out of my depth, so any advice is most welcome. Thanks Eric

I'm displaying PDFs in a webviewer off of the server on my LAN without difficulty on OSX. Is there anyway to script the viewing formats? I'd like to be able to control the scroll, or at least the "autosize" feature or zoom in / zoom out. (my pet peeve: annoyingly a single page PDF will always default to scrolling to the bottom of the page) Any thoughts?

In Filemaker 8-13, if you direct a webviewer to a file or folder, you would set the webviewer to something like... "file:\\yourserver\somefolder\somefile.txt" In Filemaker 14, "file://///yourserver/somefolder/somefile.txt". In addition, If the path doesn't exist when the layout loads, you then create the path/file, filemaker fails to find/display it (even if you call reset,reload or set the URL.) Oddly, if you enter layout mode and then return to browse mode the webviewer does reload the contents.

Hi Guys, I know to get rid of the ugly webviewer border in Windows you have to use some css to remove it. I have found code samples which work, but only if you build the html up and display that html in the web viewer (hope I have phrased that OK) data:text/html;,<html><style>body { border:0; margin:0; ... What I can't figure out is how to remove the border if in your web viewer calculation engine, you only have a url you are pointing towards, such as https://someplace.com. Can someone post a snippet of code of how I can implement the css with a url please? Thanks Jalz

In FMP 13.02 FileMaker apparently fixed the FMP URL for the desktop client, such that it could be used to make a call to the same/local/self file. So I would have a web viewer in a solution and it would use an "fmp://web.address/dbname..." URL that would reference itself, the file that was currently open. I found some references to how to do this, but for some reason things aren't working for me. Apparently, if you are on a non-mobile platform, you need to use "$" as the IP address to reference the local file. E.g. "fmp://web.address/dbname.fmp12?script=AScriptName&$var1=1234&$var2=abcd". This would make the database essentially accept AJAX calls. (Although…

Hey and good morning from Europe! I have a problem saving javascript in global field. When I quit Filemaker, changes goes away and reverts back to old one. Is there a workaround for this? This raises question for other people who needs to run the javascript? We are using Filemaker 13.0v3 & Filemaker Server 2013 Would one solution be to save it as normal field and make a script to update the global field which triggers when user need's the script? Or is there a better solution for this? Thank you for all the help I can get!

Hi Guys, I'm playing around and experimenting with FileMaker so I've got some time to learn new things at the moment. I've setup a form in the webviewer and the form has a submit button, which currently uses the post method to a php page which then populates my FileMaker database using the the FileMaker API for PHP. I've recently discovered from posts regarding the fmp url. I've done some searching, it looks like with this technique you can open files, trigger scripts etc in FileMaker outside or inside the application. I'm wondering whether I can somehow from my form in a webviewer, post (using the fmp url method) to a scriptmaker script and do all my manipulation…

Hi, I have run into a standstill here where maybe someone could point me in the right direction. This is for a large personal project that I have been working on for a few years. I have considered all the possibilities with FM and looked at add-ons, but this is the first time I think I cannot find an answer. I have used the Webviewer just to navigate through a website to get to a certain page to scrape. That works great. In this usage, I want to do more than just scrape. I want to load the page in FM (on the webviewer), take the "content" (client-side HTML), run it through a comparative analysis in FM, append text to it line-by-line, and then reload that back…

I need to retrieve (on button click) the period - minutes - seconds from the clock into Filemaker As far as I know there are 3 ways to get the data out: - use the 'Insert from URL' script step and filter the needed data out ( at a Filemaker button click ) - use the FMP URL protocol ( Javascript triggers a Filemaker script ) to 'Set' a field in Filemaker ( maybe each second ) - Javascript writes the period - min's - seconds as parameters in the URL each second ( a Filemaker script only fetches the data from the URL when needed - at a button click - ) I …

I have several applications where I would like the FileMaker server to act as a web proxy. In other words, I want to grant access to some private corporate web sites that only the filemaker server itself is allowed to get to (controlled by firewall). From what I can tell the web viewer works from a client perspective meaning that whatever URL is set in the web viewer is reached directly from the client rather than from the server. What I would like is for the FileMaker server to be able to set itself as a proxy address for anything viewed through the web viewer and then run a proxy in the background that permits any filemaker user with the correct permission to use it.…

I'm trying to use TinyMce in a webviewer in FileMaker but save the resulting HTML into a database field. I am aware of the standard practice of using an fmp:// link with a script & parameter, but that won't work in Windows (the html content returned as the parameter will likely exceed the 2048 character limit). I am using a javascript function to change the HTML DOM by putting the contents of the TinyMCE editor into another div on the page when the user clicks "Submit" inside the webviewer. However, when I use `GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( "webviewer" ; "Content" )` it shows the content of the unmodified (pre-javascript altered) page, not the page after javascript h…

Hello, I need to add geo location capabilities to a solution hosted on FMS13 that should be able to run on FMGo, FMPro or Webdirect. As this is not only FMGo, i tried replicating the GeoLocation WebViewer trick we all hear about when FMGo 12 was not yet out with native location function. I have added the code below to a web viewer on a layout. When opening on FMGo, it works a snap : i can get my location data. Therefore, the old trick still seems to be working. But when i open on FMPro (Mac OS 10.9), i get the "Cant get located" error which seems to tell me that the WebViewer is not getting to the location service. Any idea ? Thanks "data:text/…

Hi guys, problem here. I'm working with a web viewer and I'm familiar with triggering a script from within the web viewer using the fmp:// protocol. But, what I need is kind of the opposite. I have a 2000 records list that I need to display in my webviewer. As one may find, that is lots of html data, what makes my solution very slow. What I want is a webviewer that displays the first records and, when I scroll down (my first option) or I click a button (second option, but also ok) it displays more records. I'm aware that I could do that using the url protocol, calling a script, rewriting the html code for the webviewer, but that seems as a dumb solution So, i…

Hi All Win7, FM12 Advanced. I'm having issues creating shortened URLs and bitmarks using bit.ly's API. (http://dev.bitly.com/links.html#v3_user_link_save) I set the required URL as a variable in a script (mainly for debugging) and then use that to either "Insert from URL" or set the URL of a web viewer. The response of either is the same error e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <response> <status_code>500</status_code> <status_txt>INVALID_URI</status_txt> </response> Sample URL (api key omitted and line breaks added for legibility): https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v3/user/link_save?access_token=my_api_key&for…

Hello all, I'm trying to embed videos from Vimeo into a filemaker layout using the Webviewer functionality using FMPro 13 Advanced. All my users are Mac based and have the latest flash player installed. However, when the web viewer loads, I'm getting "Missing Plugin" errors. Does filemaker support flash video? I would have preferred to use HTML5, however, I can't get vimeo's HTML5 player to play video. When I attempt to play, I only get a black window and audio Thanks for the help!

Hi all... I am going to change our method of displaying High-ress Tiff-files, 22.000,stored on a Apple server, in Filemaker. Right now we use a import-method where Filemaker server grabs the (new or altered) images from a dropbox-like directory. This works okay but it's a lot of hassle and takes quite some scripting. In the new workflow i want to do this: - i know the max. number of product images - i know their exact name - i know where they are stored. I calculate the URL ( based on a static path, productcode and the imagename suffix) and show it in a web-viewer: this enables us to dump the images in the central server directory and not to worry: if it's t…

I'm wondering if there is a way to get more metadata values out of image files than what FM 13 can currently get. I do know about Troi, but I'm hoping maybe there's another way (because I'm making run times), or that Filemaker might expand the set at some point. It would be great to get exposure, and other settings and maybe Timecode for video. It's pretty darn nifty to get at the metadata! I'm pulling lat and long and made a button to pop up a Google map.

Fellow developers, a question I must ask (I'm sorry if this seem so unusual; my filemaker development is not the most common) I have a database of paragraphs. The idea being, each paragraph is a record, in a Table named Reference. The whole idea of this database, which has more tables but could work with just one, is to make a manual, a handbook for the company I work for. Let me give a example: we have a specific instruction on how to deal with taxes at importation. We create a record named: taxes at importation, and we related this record to another record in our self-related table (taxes, or importation). So: RecordID_pk FatherID_fk Title R…

Hi all. Been lurking for a few months and have learned a lot--thanks! I am trying to use a script to set a webviewer in FM 11 on both a mac and a PC to send some info to a google form using the info from this page: http://justingale.com/2013/09/url-tricks-for-google-forms-pre-populate-and-automatically-submitting-responses/ The url being sent to the webviewer looks just like example 4 on this link. This needs to be scripted because the user will likely submit multiple google form URLs in one go (this is working with a Loop in the script). I have the script set up to gather the relevant fields and properly create the form URL. When I run the script on my P…

Hello everybody, I a beginner using filemaker and i would like to do something. A lot of search on the web but no solution. I have a table and a google map using webviewer. For each recorder i would like to add ( or remove ) a maker / pin by clicking directly on the map. The makers are not on a specific address, it would be on a mountaine without road for exemple. If i select all the recorder, all the marker will appear. I don't know programming that why i'm looking for an exemple that i could adapt to my program or someone that could help me to do this. A other solution ( less better ) would be to use a static picture and add marker ( by drawing ). Bu…

Hi, I have two simple related tables: plants and images. The "images" table has the plant name in a field, and an image viewed through a webviewer, with a record for each image. The images are on a server, we are using a calculated URL to display them. Each plant has a different number of images, we would like to display them in one record per plant, in the "plants" table. When I go to the plants table, and create a portal to display the images, however, the webviewer from the "images" table only displays in the first portal record, not in the rest of the records. Other fields, such as the calculated URL, do display. Does anyone know if you can use the webview…

I just wondered whether any of you have any solution (or know about it) whereby PDF files in the 'web viewer' can be marked using the Acrobat reader Pro (I use version 9) . I use Mac platform., FMP Pro advance11 (switching to 13 soon). Marking PDFs is for the application I am developing essential. As hundreds of historical documents are catalogued and can be opened in the 'window viewer'. The user will than search through documents in the PDF (which has been passed through an OCR program). Now by copy & paste parts of the PDF document can be selected. It is essential that these selected parts are marked for later use, or use by others, who thus can know these parts ha…

First time using the web viewer, and I have some inconsistencies, just want to see if anyone else has run into this or has ideas before I abandon it and stick to using a browser separate from the database layout... This database was created to help track and route orders on a daily basis. Orders are entered as records, with customer address copying from a related table. I created a script that copies the addresses of all orders in a found set into a single field, then places the contents of this field on the clipboard for pasting in Mapquest (within the Web Viewer). On my Mac, it works perfectly most of the time, with only slight delays in loading the UR…

Hi All, So from Brian Dunning's website, I found that you can use the following URL to put google translate into a web viewer: "http://translate.google.com/translate_t?hl=en&sl=en&tl=de&text="&FieldName where FieldName is the english text which you want translated and you can change "de" to zh-CN or other supported languages. This seems to work well and using the following function Let( [htmlcontent = GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( "google_translate"; "content" ); tran_result_start = Position ( htmlcontent; "TRANSLATED_TEXT="; 1; 1); first_quote = Position (htmlcontent; "'";tran_result_start;1); second_quote = Position (htmlcontent; "'";tran_result_s…

I realize this is straight forward in a FM portal table, but it's limited compared to what can be achieved with SQL/JQuery. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Anthony

Suppose you are using Web Viewer and click on a web link. If the link opens a new page in a new window, then that window will NOT open within your Filemaker layout. Instead, the page will open in your browser. OUCH! How do you keep spawned pages within FileMaker's Web Viewer when you access web pages that have "target= _blank" in their links? In other words, when you click on a link that will open a new window, how do you make that new window be a FileMaker WebViewer window?
