SuperContainer by 360 Works

I wasn't able to activate SuperContainer. So I deleted the hosting Key and Hosting Path infor to try again. But now I do not get a Hosting Path. How can I go back and activate. Thanks.

Greetings! I dropped a SuperContainer zip archive onto a Mac server (10.6.8) desktop. Extracted the folder and double clicked on the "SuperContainerServer.jar" file and get the attached error: You must have the SuperContainer folder and the SuperContainer.jar file in the same folder as each other. Please correct this problem and try again. This is a freshly opened downloaded .zip and it worked fine when I did the same steps an on a different server (10.7.4). Also, I confirmed that there is no other version of SuperContainer on the server. Any suggestions on why I'm getting that error?

We are using the applet (SC 2.863) to upload images. Everything is working fine. However, we sometimes cannot see the thumbnail preview when viewing from a PC. Our Mac users are able to see the thumbnail so we know it was created. Our users tend to put in very large RGB JPG files. This one in question is 11 MB; 16,000 px by 14,000 px. Is there size limitation for displaying the thumbnail previews? Is this a Java issue? An operating system issue? Any thoughts?

Hello ... Trying to integrate SuperContainer with Uploadify. My method keeps dieing on the upload function. I have integrated the upload steps into the uploadify.php page ...Getting a 500 error in the popup generated by Uploadify. The file uploads via Uploadify, but the supercontainer upload fails. Here is the code ... $targetFolder = '/client/files'; // Relative to the root if (!empty($_FILES)) { $tempFile = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name']; $targetPath = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $targetFolder; $targetFile = rtrim($targetPath,'/') .

I recently upgraded to SuperContainer version 2.863 from a previous 2.x version, and everything is working fine, except when I delete a file I get an error 400 message. The file gets deleted but doesn't show as deleted until the record is refreshed. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

Does anyone have any experience of getting ScanSnap to automatically store scans in SuperContainer via Filemaker? Thanks Nick Lightbody Deskspace Systems Limited

I have a large exam with images in many questions. To economise on space when printing, I swap the question order around. But waiting for the images to download again in preview mode after every change is a real pain! Is there a way to just leave placeholders for the images? There are four container fields, not all of which are needed for each question; I use sliding to close the gaps. Thanks to all who can advise on this. :hmm:

I have a filemaker db using the "Single File" aspect of super container. Users need a password to access the data which meets our security needs. The problem arises with the rawdata ability of the utility. We want the ability to click on a preview to open a larger view using a web browser. However a semi-savy user can easily figure out the path leaving data open to prying eyes. I have set the server name and password right now to close the hole but that means everyone must log in twice using Filemaker. Once to access the file and a second time to view an image using the single file command. Is there a way to separate the server security or to place a password in a f…

Hello, Just checking to see if anybody has had any bad experiences with Supercontainer and updating to the latest version of Java for OS X (2012-004). Previous java updates have caused some nasty problems for us in the past, seems better to err on the side of caution and see if there are any known issues before updating.

In testing Supercontainer the non-standard location I choose is lost each time I restart the server. I assume this will be saved in the paid version?

We are building a solution where users are uploading pdf files via IWP using SC plugin. The next step is the user will download all the data to FMGO (records and PDF files) and will perform inspections offline with no internet access. The part I'm having problems with is importing the pdf files from the server to the ipad using FM GO. We have all the data copying over but lost on importing the pdf file. Has anyone done this or any suggestions?

Hi Guys, With the update of SuperContainer from v2.792 to v2.863 in FM V11 we appear to have have lost the automatic resizing of our jpg images. The URL we were using was: "http://" & "192.168.123.192:8020" & "/SuperContainer/Files/" & "Grandmothers Garden/Products" & "/" & Products::MWProductCode &"?style=upload" & "width=" & GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( "supercontainer" ; "width" ) - 2 & "height=" & GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( "supercontainer" ; "height" ) - 2 The web viewer dimensions are 246 px wide by 345 px high. I've tried using those dimensions as per the example in the Documentation but the…

I have a portal with calc fields that use the SCGetContainer and SCGetInfo cmds. These work - - on the desktop iMac connected to the LAN via ethernet - on the desktop iMac connected to the LAN via wireless/VPN but - NOT on the iPAD connected to the LAN via wireless/VPN Should they work on the iPad?

Hi I just upgraded from SC. 2.852 to version 2.863 fixed. (iMac OSX Lion, stand alone) Images in webviewer show up. But the SC container shows "error". SC server has the following error message: An error occurred while handling request /SuperContainer/RawData//FM/Images/Object/imgxxx?doNotDownloadNonImage=true in thread http-8020-Processor7 What can I do?

Hi, I use supercontainer for several of my clients. The one difficulty I have run into is on IWP checking to see if the user uploaded their document. Often they select it, but then don't click the upload button. In filemaker I can do that using this check (below) or use the plugin, but this doesn't work on IWP any recommendations? PatternCount(GetLayoutObjectAttribute ("supercontainer"; "Content");"<a id=\"download\" href")>0 Sincerely Peter

Is super container super enough to be used with IWP, or do I need to find another solution?

Hello, i have installed the demo version of SuperContainer on our filemaker 10 advanced server on mac osx. If i click on "SuperContainerServer.jar" it is staring und it works. Now, i would like to implement it on the filemaker pro advanced 10 client, because i want to do the same like this: http://www.360works.com/supercontainer/demos/set_container/ In this video, you can see, that he create a script. He create the script with "external functions" and then he has some SCPlugins... but i don`t have these SC Plugins. The documentation says: "For installing into the Web Publishing Engine with FileMaker Server or FileMaker Server Advanced, drag the p…

Is it possible to paste an image from the clipboard into supercontainer? Every day I would like to run a schedule, which displays a graph on my layout, Go to object "Graph", then copy and paste the image into supercontainer? I have tried SCSetContainer and copy and it just seems to take an image from a url, anyway to save the image from the clipboard?

Hi, Just wondering if anyone else has run across this roadblock before. Went home las night, everything workign fine. Came in this morning, heaps of irate users - no access to files! The webviewers in the solution use the Java applet. However, this morning webviewers are displaying a "can't be used in untrusted" mode error. A dialog pops up saying publisher cannot be verified, with an exception of "java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Certificate has been revoked".

Hello I have upgraded my installation of SuperContainer on my mac-server to 2.863. Installed with filemakerserver. On the client I use autoupdate of the SuperContainer plugin so the users are all uppdated 2.863 When the clients update the wieving of portal containers stop working. I only get an ERROR instead of the picture. If I reverse a clients plugin everything works again. Any suggestions on where to start looking JOnny

I recently upgraded the "Companion Plugin" and the supercontainer server at a customer where I work to the latest version (2.863). At the start everything seems to work without any problem. However when testing all the function that are being used I bumped onto a weird problem. The SCDownload function gives an error an several computers. The error is the following: java.Lang.RuntimeException: java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "Wed, 21 May 2012 12:12:12 GMT" This error only exist on a few computers. (mac osx lion and snow leopard). All affected computers run the latest java version. My own computer runs this function without any problem. When I pla…

I see in the Documentation for "Customizing the appearance", it just says "FIX! Fill this in" Is there an HTML file somewhere we can edit, to modify the "Look" of the Java Applet, when it's blank ? e.g. Left align the "Choose File" and "Upload File" Buttons ( or is it hidden in the Java Applet itself ? ) Thanks greg

Helle everyone, I'm getting this message: "SuperContainer server returned an error code of 500"! What means and how to fix it? I'm working with FMP11 Adv. on Windows. Thanks. Kais

Latest Version says... Version 2.863 (4/24/2012) * Fixed an issue with uploads using plugin or applet when server is deployed with FMS Web Publishing So does this mean that it work now? Thanks.

Does anyone have an updated example of the Fedex Ship module that comes with the ScriptMaster sample file? The currently distributed file from 360Works uses version 3, but the FedEx API is already on version 10 with additional options on shipment requests.

I'm running SuperContainer 2.863 in StandAlone mode on an Xserve running Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 and FileMaker Server 11 Advanced (11.02.217). It works fine for all users (approx. 15) except one. The problem client is a Mac Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and FileMaker Pro 11.0.4 (and all current OS updates including Java for 10.6 Release 8). Sometime in the last couple of months (unsure of the exact date of appearance), the primary user began having the following problem: after accessing a layout that shows a SuperContainer webviewer and then leaving that layout. If the user tries to return to a layout with a SuperContainer webviewer, FileMaker hangs for about 10 seco…

Hello, I'm working with SC 2.83 and have been experiencing the following glitches when deleting/uploading an image into the webviewer: -i delete an image to replace it with the correct one, but i still see the old one -i check the directory where the files are being stored, and i see the correct file names, not the ones displayed in the webviewer. -i refresh the window to no avail anyone had similar experiences? would the latest version of SC maybe improve this experience? (Its not happening for every single record/upload, its intermittent) How can someone download the latest version i see discussed in the forums? the 360 website still has 2.83 as the …

When I use the SCDelete cmd in a script to remove the SC file thus - Set Variable [ $result; Value:SCDelete ( "images/" & $ID ) ] If [ $result = "ERROR" ] Show Custom Dialog [ Message: "An error occurred: " & SCLastError; Buttons: “OK” ] Else If [ $result = "1" ] Show Custom Dialog [ Message: "SC file deleted."; Buttons: “OK” ] Delete Portal Row [ No dialog ] - the SC file is removed OK as is the associated FMP image record. However, there is a thumbnail of the SC file on the layout and this remains behind. I've tried refreshing the window, commiting the record, etc but its still there. The only thing that works is to go to Layout mode and then…

Unless I've missed something, it's been a while waiting for an update to get rid of the scroll bars in empty supercontainers because of the java debacle. This is really ugly on the Mac side. I'm thinking of a temporary fix and wondering if someone could make a suggestion. If we could automatically populate each of the supercontainers with a 1x1 transparent gif the scrollbars will not show and we can still simply drag a file into the supercontainer and have the contents replaced. Seems to work great, we just have no idea how to implement it. Any ideas or better suggestions?

Three questions regarding this:- 1. Can I upload document to a SharePoint folder ? 2. If the answer to (1) is Yes, are these document visible to SharePoint users ? 3. Can supercontainer retrieve document created in SharePoint ? Thank you

Hi - I've been playing around with moving files (in this case, pdfs) from SuperContainer storage to FileMaker 12 container storage. While the SCGetContainer function works to do this, the resulting container field does not have the expected functionality. Instead of being able to view and interact with the pdf, as happens if I drag & drop the same file into the container field, I get just an icon and filename showing in the container field, and it won't even give me a contextual menu to open the file in Preview (in this case, since I'm on a Mac). Is this a limitation of the SCGetContainer command, or are there more secrets that I need to know about to get th…

I thinks its very simple question to some of the experts. but i would like to know some details about 360works super container 1. Whether I can able to use this on filemaker pro or filemaker server or both ? 2. Is this free one or need to purchase ? 3. What is the big and main advantage of this plug-In ? 4. How can i test the demo plug in with filemaker 11 pro or filemaker server 11 please dont say that have refer on http://www.360works.com Many Thanks In Advance For Your Time And Reply.

is there a way to prevent the red color in the webviewer that says Upload not allowed for this filepath... and set it to white to make it less obtrusive? I use scripted uploads / dowmloads with revision numbers in most layouts, not drag & drop so the webviewer style I use is noapplet+readonly, but this now shows the rather ugly red warning. For the average user, this looks like a serious warning and may become hesitant to upload any files. Peter

Will SuperContainer work on 2003 server and IIS? I have java 6 installed, do I have to install Java 5 to test this out? I installed the latest version today and go to localhost/SuperContainer and nothing comes up. Any help, I have read the install guide and can't figure out what to do next. Thanks

Since some Java updates in the past have caused problems, I'm interested to hear if there are any compatibility problems being reported with the new version of Java before I update to it.

I'm having an issue installing SCv2.861 on Lion 10.7.3 server, FMS12.01 Webserver is running OK, but the SC Mac installer is saying Webserver is not deployed. This machine had FMS11 running before, which was un-installed prior to FMS12. Could there be any remnants of FMS11 interfering? ( the mod_jk.conf file in the attached error message is present ). TIA Peter

Hi, I have just upgraded to FM12 and SC 2.861. Now I receive the error message "Upload not allowed for this folder path". Image show up in webviewer, but not in SC container fields. PS: I did neither change the folder path nor the IP address.

Hi -- we always notice there is a new SC version because we have mysterious problems that we spend time trying to trouble shoot. Is there a way to get notified when there is a new SC version so we can install before there are problems?

Howdy y'all, is this a valid approach to saving PDF's from an IPad into SC and having them be viewable soon-thereafter from web-viewer on same iPad??? On iPad in fmGo solution I can Save-As PDF and send PDF to a Local Email Address. Yipee! I have a Web server that receives these emails and downloads the PDF's into the Documents Folder on server hard drive. Yippe! Filemaker Client (not fmGo) running a dedicated local Image_Robot_File.fp7 can SEE that folder, and import only the new images into container fields, AND based on First word of Email Subject (foreign key) link that image back to Correct Record that was being viewed on iPad. Yippee! How would y…

SCSetContainer (calc field-result container) set-up to display SC files in a portal. Works with jpegs but with tifs SC only shows the image file name plus graphics icon in the container - no image. I can view the tif files into a separate container field no problem (right click, insert picture). Also, SC can display the tif either as a thumbnail (from "Files") or raw file ("RawData"). Would it work if SCSetContainer pointed to the RawData file rather than the file in the 'Files' folder?

Hi Is there any way to control quality settings on the generated thumbnail by core image? I use thumbnails to scale down content to manageable sizes but the resulting thumbnails low quality imo. Or is there any other way of scaling images from supercontainer or filemaker? /p

I just ran into an error with SuperContainer today. The video say's/shows it best: http://www.screencas.../t/RRJDCLY7NURh The frame rate of the video was pretty low, so it didn't really show how the dialog window was flashing light/dark (active/inactive) repeatedly - you could see the FileMaker application window flashing though. When this happened, I got this error in the Java Console: WARNING: Native file dialog disabled, as it does not support selecting both files and directories

We are thinking of moving our FMP database w SuperContainer to a web hosting service; currently we are just using it on our local machines. As I understand it, the security for the hosted database will be the user log-ins and passwords. Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but would all of our SuperContainer documents be unprotected and accessible to the whole web? I know that no one is probably interested in digging around what we have in our DB, but how secure are SC files that are hosted online? Again, please forgive the newbie question. I'd appreciate any thoughts on this.

I am using SuperContainer on my Server to provide upload and download capabilities in an Instant Web Publishing solution. I currently have a web viewer on a detail IWP layout that provides the user the ability to upload/download a file from that web viewer in the detail layout from their web browser. The problem is every time they go to that web detail layout their web browser has to load the applet so they can see the web viewer with any attached file. I would like to remove the web viewer accessing SuperContainer from the detail layout and instead create a tab on the detail layout Named: 'Attachments'. When they click on the tab they will go to another layout that will…

Hi I am fairly new to SuperContainer but have used it in 1:1 relationships between a singled record and a related image. Now I need to link a whole series of images with the need to load a folder full of images and link them to a single record.. I am curious as to the best way to display the images to the user. They are scanned evaluations that are associated with a single training session. I have tried a single web viewer and a global number field that is used as the suffix to the URL. This works OK but I am a bit stuck with how to load the folder of images correctly. Is that the "best" way to view the images using SuerContainer? Stephen

Using SCGetInfo, I have enabled a Boolean checkbox to visually indicate records that have SuperContainer content in their web viewer. However, since it is an unstirred calculation (which I cannot change), it is useless for filtering records down to only those with content in those web viewers. [see example image] Here's what I did: Case ( SCGetInfo ( "/analysis/" & id Analysis Table for Lookup to Cases::AnalysisPOSIXname & "_CaseID" & id & "/" ) â� "" ; 1 ; 0 ) Having been away from FileMaker for a decade, I have not yet "cracked" how to do this. Perhaps someone can tell this "old Newbie" how simple it is? Thanks in advan…

SC running via TomCat on a physical image server box and working fine. I've scripted a delete button that should first delete the SC file and, if 1 is returned, continue to delete the portal row (containing a container generated via SCGetContainer): # Check for SuperContainer plugin installation # Exit if plugin is not installed If [ SCVersion = "?" ] Show Custom Dialog [ Message: "SuperContainer Plugin is not installed"; Buttons: “OK” ] Halt Script End If # Set Variable [ $result; Value:SCDelete ( SCGetContainer ( "images/" & IMA_image::__pk_image_ID ) ) ] If [ $result = "ERROR" ] Show Custom Dialog [ Message: "An error occurred: " & SCLastEr…

I've just reinstalled the latest version of SC and deployed via TomCat and all OK but its running in Demo mode. I clicked the "index' HTML file in Tomcat/webapps/SuperContainer and then clicked 'Enter or edit your activation key on the SuperContainer Registration Page' but it comes back with File not found. There is no file called 'Registration' in the SuperContainer folder - how should I register?

I installed SC 2.852 on a new Windows7 machine (Desktop, not a server, using FMS11.03) and get error 404 when checking on localhost/SuperContainer and am checking now possible causes. WPE in FMSAT is working OK. Going over the installation doc, I noticed for Server requirements: Windows: Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3, Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Professional, or Windows Server 2003; Java 1.4 or later Windows7 is missing here. Was this never updated in the documentation or is it simply not compatible?

Still having problems deleting a SC file with SCDelete - gives Error 500. In the log the URL is doubled up - is this normal? Also there's a "got an error with converted args"?

Part of a solution is email based (using 360Works Email Plugin) and the system downloads email records and saves the attachments to SuperContainer for later retrieval. The SuperContainer folder structure is as follows: "/SuperContainer/Files/EmailFiles/MessageID/files" where MessageID is a numerical record ID from the message itself and the files are the attachments associated with that email message. The attachment pointer records are in a related table. The attachments are stored, one per record, into a temporary container field and then uploaded to SuperContainer using SCSetContainer. The problem is that if a message has 2 attachments the 2nd one overwrites t…

I'm using Tomcat to deply SC on a Winserver2K8 machine and believe I'm having permissions problems as I can't delete the SC files with SCDelete (error 500). In the following from the SC documentation can anyone interpret and expand on "If using Tomcat deployment, set read write for the user used to run tomcat."? Error 500 in browser Incorrect permissions is the likeliest cause of this error. If using FMS deployment set the permissions to owner: fmserver rw group: fmsadmin rw If using standalone deployment, set read/write permission for the currently logged in user. If using Tomcat deployment, set read write for the user used to run tomcat. Command line e…

I've been testing my SC install with jpegs but now discover that the files being generated (on a PC), and that I'd like the users to be able to drag and drop into a SC window, are all TIFFs. SC doesn't give me a thumbnail image using SCGetContainer but will store and allow viewing of the RawData file. Is there a way for SC to create a thumbnail from a TIFF?

I'm using SC 2.852 on Mac with 10.6.8 and another Mac with 10.7.3 and I can't get the drag&drop functionality to work when I try to drag&drop from Safari or Chrome. Does this work for anyone? I can drag and drop from finder, but not from a browser which, for me at least, is a key feature of this plugin. I can drag&drop from Chrome on Windows 7. Sometimes websites have a sophisticated zooming technology that prevents dragging&dropping, but on Windows 7 it is just as easy to right click on the image to Copy then to click on the SC webviewer and click on Paste. On the Mac there isn't the option to right click on the webviewer and click Paste. A…

Presently I've got both SC, in the webapps folder of Tomcat, and the Users/Files folder, holding the raw and thumbnail images, on a smallish HD that was really only meant to be for the server OS (Server 2K8). The server box also has a second, much larger HD. Can I recreate the Files folder on this second drive and point to this from FM?

Hi, checking out supercontainers great possiblilities, I came to a problem, which seems to be small but is crucial for the solution sc should be used for. I want to display an image on white background. I removed the border from the webviewer. On the mac the image is shown on white background but on the PC there is a thin grey border (like a dropshadow, thicker in top and left) around the webviewer. Please see attached screenshot. I think this is more a problem of the webviewer layout object on windows, but makes supercontainer look awfull on the pc. Does anybody know of a solution to hide this border? I tried all the style parameters of supercontainer, but th…

Hello all, Just started yesterday using Supercontainer and it's awesome. But today i found out, there's a bug with iE using Javascript. It will hung up as soon I enter a layout with a container field on it. Updating will resolve this problem but i know there are a lot of users out there who won't update their Java. Anyone any idea about that? Thank you in advance Rolf

I've installed SC on numerous PCs and Macs, but am having a problem getting it to work at one client site. SC works fine in the office, but we just can't see images remotely. The only thing that is different at this site is that SC is hosted on Mac Server. The host is running FileMaker Pro 11 v4. We have the latest version of SuperContainerserver.jar, we've opened port 80 and have verified that it is open via CanYouSeeMe.org. In System Preferences we have Web Sharing turned on. Is there some special setting for Mac Server? What setup step have I possibly overlooked? Thank you for your time and assistance, Will

Our Filemaker Server 11 and SuperContainer installation has just been moved from Win Server 203 to Win Server 2008. After sorting out some file configurations due to changed location of files all seemed well when testing with step by step script process. However in the first free run a spinning beach ball appeared. Reverting to step by step script processing the following error was identified 'SuperContainer server returned an error code of 303' The testing process is running on OSX Lion with FMkr Pro 11 Advanced

I have som difficulties to substitute Swedish characters from my files names. I want to clean up file names using the filename parameter in the SCSetContainer function. I found that when I fetch the swedish character "ä" from a variable populated using SCChooseFile it's not the correct character. Using Code is get 77600097 instead of 228 which it should be. Is this a limitation in the SuperContainer Plugin? Any suggestions? /Niklas

I know this is a premature question, but does anyone have ahead of the game info on how SC will work with Mountain Lion this summer? Does anyone know if Apple is addressing the Java issue? Just curious...

1. I have had to update SuperContainer server to 2.852 as a client's FileMaker was crashing after updating their Java. Now no one can upload files. They get Java message 'This document is read-only'. Does anyone know what the fix is for this? Edit: It seams to be the 'noupload' command. When I remove this from the code it is ok, but this takes away from the drag and drop feel. 2. Also now when they download a file it displays or downloads through the web browser. Any suggestions how do we stop this? This is all happening in a Mac Snow Leopard environment. andrew

Hello, i have a problem with special characters (ÄÖÜß…) in filenames, used in SC storage. When the user wants to open or change this files (= download to temp-Folder on client Mac), the targetapplication does not open it…! Any idea for a simple turnaround?? Another question: How i could do "drag`n`drop" between two Filemaker-Windows, for example from a list view with stored files to another layout in formview? PS: Please excuse my bad english…

Hi. we have SC running in a mac only networked environment ( sc running on osx server with shared standard filemaker copy running on the server) and are using it for databasing images. All is working well, using the standard setup, within filemaker, using web viewer and plugin. When a user double clicks an image i have set their local mac osx to open the image in the preview App. From here they can make simple changes and hit save which saves the image back to the server. However the thumbnail displayed in the web-viewer does not show the changes, is there a way to refresh the thumbnail image? thanks

Hello, I am trying to use the SCMove function to move a file from one directory to another inside my SuperContainer location. Currently my function call looks something like this: SCMove("WorkingDirectory/UniqueResourceDirectory/","TargetDirectory/"&TABLE::ID) When I run my script, I get an error, and the supercontainer server says: Move operation failed: java.io.FileNotFoundException: No SuperContainer file for /WorkingDirectory/UniqueResourceDirectory No SuperContainer file for /WorkingDirectory/UniqueResourceDirectory I have also tried my function call like this: SCMove("WorkingDirectory/UniqueResourceDirectory/file.pdf","Target…

I'm currently evaluating SuperContainer for our FMP Advanced 11 data base running on an OS X Server 10.6.x. I plan to use the stand alone server application of SuperContainer to solve FMP's IWP shortcomings and am quite impressed so far. However, about 80% of my users do not understand a scrap of english! Is there ANY way to customize the following text strings and button labels in the Web Viewer? "[Drag a file to upload]" "(Choose File)" "no file selected" "(Upload File)" I tried finding and editing these strings at some level of SuperContainer's files/code. No luck so far.

We currently have SC 2.73 running on our OS X 10.5.6 FMSA box and have clients using plug-in version 2.631. Now we're adding some OS X 10.7.2 clients to the mix, with plug-in version 2.852 installed. FM 11.0v4 will crash on these clients when accessing the SC layout. I'd like to update our FMSA to 2.852 in hopes that this solves the problems with new 10.7.2 clients, but need to confirm if the 2.631 plug-in clients can remain on that version or if they will need to update 2.852 as well.

I'm having great success with the PHP site assistant aside from one major issue. I'm not able to display images stored in Supercontainer. The code below will return a broken link. If I take the reference link and paste it into any web browser on any computer on any network, the link works fine. What obvious step am I missing? <td rowspan="8" class="field_data"> <?php echo "<img src='http://74.119.147.179:80/SuperContainer/Files/CKD_Files/PDT/2009/1035/90101463440377643/IMG_6944.jpg' title='Error' alt='Error' />";?> </td>

I'm creating a website thru CWP using the PHP assistant and connecting via filemaker api to a filemaker file hosted via filemaker server. I've been successful getting everything working except for the link back to the SC files to be able to display images on the website. I've gone thru all the SC tutorials and tried everything. The current iteration of the code below is where I'm at the moment. I've even tried pasting the direct URL to the SC image into the code. There is obviously much more to the php doc, but I'm just copying the html table where the error seems to be occurring. I'm very new to PHP and so any help regarding this would be appreciated. I've…

When using SCDownload it doesn't put a file extension at the end of a file name like a typical os dialog does. Often times users want to change the filename however they do not know the extension and cannot see it in this dialog...so when they rename it, it completely loses the extension. Example: SCDownload("/mydownload/path"; ""; ""; ""; "showSaveDialog=1") SuperContainer Typical OS is there anyway to show the extension in this dialog?

May be old news, we were excited. Scenario: Our field techs use iPhones to document installations of various wireless equipment and site configurations in the field. Its really important in our business (large regional WISP) since sending a tech out to a location 50 or 100 miles removed is an expensive business. We need to be able to troubleshoot as much as possible remotely and a big part of that is equipment location/setup. This was causing us to store tons of photos in our already huge FMP database. SuperContainer to the rescue! Except you can't upload out of fmp go. Ouch! Solution: So we are using PicUp (http://picupapp.com/). This intercepts a…

What is the best way to edit files (i.e. .doc, .docx) from SuperContainer? Please pardon this newbie question, but the process I'm using now seems too circuitous to be the best way. I double click a .docx file from its SC web viewer. The browser (Firefox) opens a new tab and a pop up dialog says 'You have chosen to open the file XXXXX.docx, which is a binary file. Would you like to save this file?', and then you select a destination to save it to. Then you have to go find that file, open it and do the edits. With .doc files, the dialog box allows you to 'Open with MS Word', and will open the doc straight away (preferable). Safari will just save the file to downloads and …

Hi There, I've got my brand new SC under the bonnet and ready to take it for a spin. I have read throoughly through the manual and there is something I am simply not grasping. I have two tables 1. A list of 500 images / worksheets in a container field with a text field identical to the Name of the Game they were for 2. A list of 500 Children's games Previously, I related the the GameName field in the Images/Worksheets table with the Name of the Game in the Games Table, all worked fine except for IWP slowness due to native container fields. But how does one relate a Web Viewer with another table? And while I am at it, one more quick question. D…

I have been working with our systems admins to set up SuperContainer so that it can store its files on a remote file server, since a couple of research projects are threatening to overwhelm our FileMaker server with the volume of images they need to store. Since we're running SC (2.852) on FM Server 11 (running under Windows Server 2008), we've edited the web.xml file, and can see that SC is trying to write to the remote location. We have looked around for answers, but most of the advice seems to apply to Mac servers, not Windows. Here are the questions our sys admins have: (1) Does the remote volume need to be mounted? If so, how do we do this under Windows server, …

I have a file with one file upload connected to each record. Is there a way to detect if a file are uploaded or not?

Hey there, We just upgraded from SC 2.81 to 2.852 and now receive this error whenever an upload is more than approximately 70kb. Is there someplace we can change this? The upload exceeded the maximum allowed size on the server Environment is FMSA11.0.3 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Std x64 + IIS 7. We also had to migrate server so it's possibly related to that rather than the SC version.

I'm getting an error when trying to use SCSetContainer. The error returned states "Missing version header in SuperContainer response" and then advises me to make sure SC is running or update to the latest version. Both SC and the plugin are the latest version (2.852), and SC is running. SCSetContainer is the only function that is causing the problem. I can upload photos using the web viewer, I can get info using SCGetInfo, and I can even go the other direction and put an image into a container field using SCGetContainer, so I'm sure the base URL is set and I have the correct syntax. Any ideas on what could be going on here? I'm using FMP Advanced 11.04 on Mac OS 10.7…

Hello, I am trying to get SCCopy to work. I have version 2.792 installed on my mac-mini server. I have version 2.852 companion plugin on the filemaker client. Base URL is set on file opening. I am trying to copy a document from one part of the supercontainer directory to another part of the supercontainer directory. I can achieve the desired result using SCDownload followed by SCSetContainer (using the $download result), but I can't get the SCCopy to work using the same filepaths. EG Set Variable[$download = SCDownload("supercontainer_foldername")] Set Variable[$upload = SCSetContainer("supercontainer_newlocation"; $download)] The above …

Trying to set a location for Supercontainer files on a separate volume (attached RAID) - not in the standard /Users/Shared/Supercontainer/Files location. I haven't been able to locate info on this - does anyone have a solution for this? Thank you.

Hi there, Have just installed Supercontainer and very excited to get it working. I have a few questions that I just haven't found the answers to in the documenation or in the forums; 1. Although the Java server stipulates the IP to be my actual computer name; 01/02/12 09:29:19 - SuperContainer URL: http://Maria-HP:8020/SuperContainer I replaced the computer name with the local IP of my computer. Is that correct? 2. Within my local network, SC works fine, but it doesn't work from outside the Wide Area Network. Do I need to open the port 8020 on my router for it to work? 3. I am publishing my database on port 591, should I change the …

In Instant Web Publishing via Internet Explorer 9 on Windows Vista... If Allow interaction with web viewer is not checked, and the content is an image, or the java applet is used, the web viewer will fail to load. This was not an issue in Chrome, but that was the only other scenario I tested.

Hi there, Just purchased myself supercontainer and very excited to get using it. I notice that in the IWP supercontainer, the upload and browse buttons are not aligned as if they are pushing each other onto the next line (see .jpg attachment). What am I doing wrong? How do I get rid of the engraved/embossed look (the black strips on the left and top) and is there any way to get rid of the vertical and horizontal scroll bars? Clients are only going to upload .pdf's, so the webviewer is going to be small. Ultimatelly, I am going to have to play around with the companion to reduce the size of the upload and browse buttons. Thanks so much for all your kind advi…

Hi Folks Looking for an answer on how to upload a document to a supercontainer using filemaker go using Ipad. PS I am a total newbie.

Web access to SuperContainer results in following: You are running SuperContainer version 2.852 Invalid or expired license! Enter another license key, or restart SuperContainer. SuperContainer will be in demo mode until a valid license code is entered. Enter your registration information below (for demo mode leave both fields blank). Activation code Registered to The license key is valid, but the registered to name was entered incorrectly. I have checked the registration document and can confirm that the Registered to name is the same. I have also followed the instruction in t…

I am trying to imitate the transparency grid in photoshop within SuperContainer so images display on top of the light gray grid background. Or somehow have the the SuperContainer transparent and have a grid image behind it but I don't think this is possible because of how web viewers work in filemaker. I am trying to get some type of background like this. I don't know if something like this is even possible with SuperContainer. Thanks, Nick

Hi All, The Style "noupoad" works as the style "readonly". I get a JavaScript error that is a read-only document when I try to upload a file using drag-n-drop. In the documentation is say you can sill use the drag-n-drop feature. noupload never show the upload button (you can still upload a file by dragging or right-clicking). Webviewer address: http://localhost:802...iles/360Demo/1?&style=noupload SuperContainers Ver: 2.852 FileMaker 11.04 Mac OS 10.7.2 Thank for your. Todd Dignan

is there a way to SetBaseURL using data stored in a field instead of hard coding it into the script. I have a preferences area and I want to be able to set the base URL from a field in the preferences area. What I have now works fine when I hard code it but for some reason I put the same data in to a field and it does not work.

My client has SC v2.852 running on a Windows server, with java 5 build 22. They're getting regular crashes whenever they try to view SC through a Web viewer. Any ideas? Thanks, Paul

i'd love to be able to run this from a scheduled script. Is this possible? Thanks, -jb

Is there away to get the dimensions of a SC file. If not, Is this something that can be add to the SCGetInfo function? Thanks

I am running the current SC plugin on an xServe (Mac OS 10.6.8), under Filemaker Server Advanced (10.0.2.206). SuperContainer is was installed using the installer.jar for FMS hosting. All aspects of Supercontainer work regarding uploading, displaying, deleting, etc within a web viewer in my database. This is true when running the database locally, on the server via FMP and when running via IWP using a browser. The issue is with the plugin. I can get the version both via FMP and IWP but I get ERROR when I try to use any of the plugin functions. I have captured the errors in the SC log file. Can anyone explain what the errors are telling me in this error l…

Based off of my previous posting, I gathered that SCGetInfo would need to use the actual local path instead of the web url (correct me if I'm wrong on that) but currently the path that I am passing is returning "?" as a result. I have it setting a field to (hopefully) the uploaded file's name. Set Field[Docs::DocName; SCGetInfo("/Users/Shared/Supercontainer/Files/" & (insert parent directory name) & "/" & (count+1)] The count+1 portion merely is a count of how many files each parent directory already has tied to it, as listed within a child-table.

Hello Looking to use SuperContainter to create an image library and I was wondering about a couple things - 1) is there a way to read the metadata - mainly keyword tags - off of the images and use them for search criteria? 2) can a referenced image be resized for export? As in a "email a thumbnail of this image" button? thanks, Don

Hi All, Server: FMS 11.03, Mac Server 10.6.8 Client: FMP 11.03, Windows 7 Home Edition SuperContainers: 2.81 over port 80 Problem: I have a Client that just installed Windows 7 Home Edition. The user opened their solution and they got a message that the solution will update their SuperContainers Plugin. (I'm using the automated plugin updater with FMS) After the user gets a message that the update was successful, it cause them to restart FMP. The user launches the solution again and they get the same message that they need to update their SuperContainers Plugin. So the user runs in a loop. Investigation: 1. I made sure the plugin w…

So, I'm pretty sure this is something stupid on my part and not a Super Container problem, but I'm hoping that someone has run into this issue: For reasons that are too annoying to relate, I needed to upgrade my server running FMS 11 from the perfectly functional 10.5.8 Server to 10.6.8 Server. FileMaker Server is working perfectly. I reinstalled SuperContainer, getting the most recent version, but when I attempt to log into my FileMaker database, SuperContainer throws an error that it can't connect. When I try to point my browser to localhost/SuperContainer/ nothing happens. I've been banging my head against this for a couple of days but can't find a…

We are loading images into a SC, (FM Pro 11 on Windows) and the images are positively GIANT. you can't even tell what you are looking at in the image. there is no thumbnail, it's making the solution useless. Any assistance?
