SuperContainer by 360 Works

Hello. I'm trying to integrate SuperContainer into a PHP-based site, but I'm having trouble creating the new SuperContainer object. SuperContainer version is 2.792. I created a test page with the following: <?php require_once 'supercontainer.php'; $SC_BASE_URL = 'http://localhost:8020/SuperContainer/Files'; $SC_USERNAME = 'username'; $SC_PASSWORD = 'password'; $sc = new SuperContainer($SC_BASE_URL, $SC_USERNAME, $SC_PASSWORD); if ($sc->getError()) die('Could not connect to SuperContainer server: ' . $sc->getError()); ?> I verified that the configured username and password match the above, but I always get the result "The reque…

trying to figure out a good way to dynamically change the web viewer between the FullPath and RawPath depending if the data is valid or not. a newly created record all links to the related supercontainer table is naturally invalid. a button would create the related record validating the relationship then draw the wv with the full path so they can drag & drop the file. if you navigate to a record that is valid then the RawPath is visible, to interact with the pdf. Script trigger? thanks.

Suppose I've got a URL that displays a PDF, like this - http://10.1.1.10:8020/SuperContainer/RawData/Test?&style=noapplet+nodelete This works fine with no problems. What I'm concerned with is if someone was to enter the following in address - http://10.1.1.10:8020/ It presents the 'Invalid SuperContainer URL' page, which has links to the Index and Registration pages. Is there any way to prevent this page from showing up, or having it redirect to a different page of my choosing? Since this will be on a public website, I don't want some wiseguy going in and messing things up either accidentally or intentionally by using the above exa…

I tried the following: Copied the Supercontainer folder to the server folder (D:/Filemaker/Filemaker Server) Got the message: "Can not find filemaker server web publishing engine..." I tried to install it manually. Got the installation path : (D:/Program Files/FileMaker/FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/publishing-engine/cwpe-tomcat/bin/) Copied the Super container folder to the bin folder modified the tomcar conf file: Opened D:/Program File/FileMaker/FileMaker Server/Admin/admin-helper/WEB-INF/conf/ added the lines to the file /SuperContainer/*=cwpe /SuperContainer=cwpe re-started the pc. However, when I open the supercontainer exa…

Hi. I'm really new to both Filemaker Pro and Server and the SuperContainer plugin and have encountered a small issue. I'm trying to make a simple database that allows image uploads via IWP (already got that covered), but I'd also like to make a field that can keep track of how many SuperContainers actually contain an image at a given time. I couldn't find any way to make an indefinite number of SuperContainers (ideally, I'd like it if the client could keep adding images, each time creating a SC, but I haven't been able to find any way to do so), so I created 5 SC's and the client can just upload/delete an image from each SC. When I was using regular containers, calculatin…

I've got a problem that may be more of a networking issue than a SuperContainer problem, but I haven't bee able to resolve it yet and figured that I might be able to find the answer here. Our website server (IIS) has an 'internal' and external IP addresses setup which has been running OK for a few years now. The internal IP is mainly for RDC purposes. The server is not part of our internal domain, so I had to setup SuperContainer on the website server itself, since it won't have access to any storage. I setup SuperContainer as a 'standalone server' type on this webserver. A certain webpage contains links that point to files that S.C. will be handling and displa…

This has been an elusive problem a client has been having that I could not reproduce until just recently. Under certain client conditions, eventually all 'SCDownload' (and upload at least, I have not tested enough else yet) will eventually result in nothing but "java.lang.InternalError: couldn't create component peer" and this cannot be fixed without quitting the filemaker application, and starting it fresh. This occurs on all databases opened, even with all closed and re-opened, the application must be exited. I have been testing for this for months, without any success, until testing another error they have more frequently. After those tests, I finally received …

Hi, If I remotely open a FileMaker solution over the internet the SuperContainer files (in this case pdf's) do sometimes turn blank. Not every pdf but some do not show the image, going to layout and back to browse sometimes restores the image but not always. What to do? Best regards, Ruben van den Boogaard Infomatics Software

Hello everyone, I am stuck in trying to make the following possible: Currently, we have a corporate database on a filemaker server 11 (not advanced) that uses SupercontainerServer that is used by our team. They access the database from the internal IP, lets say 192.168... supercontainer on SCSetBaseUrl is set in the startup script with 192.168... as well (internal network). Now, we are making this database available on the internet in order for our second office (our kitchen) to use it as well. Hence, the db is available via, say 178 (external ip) from port 5003 (there is a port forwarding rule to the 192 ip). Since fmServer is set to SSL encrypt…

I have a client interested in using SC. I recently downloaded and installed the SC server on FMSA 11 to test it out and set up a demo for them to review. Worked fine until the demo expired. Documentation states to restart the SC server but doesn't specify how. Tried reinstalling... didn't work. Tried running the SuperContainerServer.jar file and got the attached message... Not sure what's goin' on here. Any ideas? Thank you for your consideration. ~ Will

Is there any magic that could be done that would allow SC to attach a file but then generate a short URL so it could be sent to domain.com/SC?92mf90f2

Good day! I've been using SC for a little while now, and loving the versatility. One thing that I've come across, that I'd like to do is give my people the ability to save their PDFs directly to the Super Container field. The obvious choice is to use the path over the local network in the Output File dialog, however...I'd like to know if there's a way to use the public web address instead. The reasoning is two-fold: 1. The people in my office won't always bother to connect to the FileMaker server where the files are stored, and the script will fail. 2. Our database is accessed by people outside of the network and I'd like them to also be able to …

Is it possible to have a button/script that would automatically open a pdf in a FM Web Viewer eliminating the need to double click on the pdf icon? We are currently using FMGO on iPads and just trying to eliminate an extra step. We tried the raw data method but we really need to keep the user on the current layout and the raw data method kept opening a new window.

I have installed the demo version on my server OSX and works well, Expect it would not make appropriate Thumbnails folders. It creates the File and according folder but not the thumbnails folders. the permission are for the forlders set tot fmserver:fmsadmin with 775. In the filemaker remote app we see the file only by icon. It's uploaaded correctly.

Hi there, We are just trialling SuperContainer for use in a product that will be hosted on the internet and connect to from users in schools. Users are connecting via local authority 'grids' which include filtering and proxy services, there are very few open ports so we have SC running as integrated with IIS on port 80. It all seems to work great when connecting from off-network machines, but users in school receive the message: - The server itself is not on the local authority network and the problem is only with clients which are. All clients are able to see the www.myserver.com/SuperContainer/ frontpage no problem. Any suggestions …

does Supercontainer check the timestamp of each thumbnail vs the original image? e.g. if I edit and replace an image, keeping the same filename, will new thumbnails be generated? thanks

I�ve a script which imports logos into a temp container field, pushes them out to SuperContainer, then clears the container. Every now and again�seemingly random�the plugin freezes needing a force-quit. I�m testing locally on a Mac OS X 10.5.6 iMac Core 2 Duo running FMPA10.0v1 and SuperContainer 2.1.4. I�m obviously concerned about the force-quitting and the state in which this leaves the database. Is anyone else seeing similar problems? Have any pointers?

If I open one database, and it's: INFO: Setting supercontainer base url to https://url.domain.com:443/SuperContainer/Files And then I open a second database, and it's: INFO: Setting supercontainer base url to https://url2.domain.com:443/SuperContainer/Files I get the following when running SCGetInfo( ... ; "md5" ): Apr 30, 2011 1:50:23 PM org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector authenticateHost WARNING: Required credentials not available for BASIC <any realm>@url2.domain.com:443 Apr 30, 2011 1:50:23 PM org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector authenticateHost WARNING: Preemptive authentication requested but no default creden…

Hello, Is there a Style option or configuration that I could use to prevent SuperContainer from accepting uploaded files with the .exe extension? Is this a security setting that I should manage from the Server? This would apply to both in-network and IWP environments. Best Regards, Charlie FMBiz.net

I have multiple SC licenses on one server: Can I set SC to save to different default locations on my hard drive based on the license?

Is it possible to encrypt the SuperContainer files as they are being uploaded and decrypt as they are downloaded?

I'm trying to upload multiple files with SC but i can't get it done. I'm using the code below as described in the documentation. "http://yourServer.com:8020/SuperContainer/Files/Asset/" & myTable::ID & "/1" "http://yourServer.com:8020/SuperContainer/Files/Asset/" & myTable::ID & "/2" "http://yourServer.com:8020/SuperContainer/Files/Asset/" & myTable::ID & "/3" But FM says it needs an operator When i use the code below to upload just one file it works ok. "http://yourServer.com:8020/SuperContainer/Files/Asset/" & myTable::ID Does anyone know what my problem might be? TIA Vincent.

I created a db on FMPA v10 on a Mac running OSX 10.4.11 which used Supercontainer to store images. The supercontainer URL was http://mycomputer.local;8020/Supercontainer and the file directory:/ Users/myusername/desktop/dbname/Images. There is no network involved. I have recently upgraded my computer, which now runs OSX 10.6.5 and has FMPA 11 and transferred my db to it, including the folder containing the images. The supercontainer object on the new computer cannot it seem locate the images. I could not find any recent posts on the forum about this migration. Is there a way to point Supercontainer to the Images file, or do I have to upload them all again, please?

We are working on a project where the client is using Terminal Services for all of its users. (Win2008 Server & FMS 11 Advanced) We installed SC on the FileMaker server under the Tomcat install as usual. When the users access the database and go to a layout using a SC web portal, they would normally get the initial dialog about trusting the source. Click yes and everything is fine. However on the TS session for the users, this dialog is blocked and requires an admin password to clear. Are there any particular settings or permissions that need to be set on the Terminal Service box that we can pass on to the IT folks in order to permit users to get past this road…

Hi, New here. We had a consultant make us a new database with links to our website for data entry with Filemaker Pro and using Super Container for the Data (PDF Files) that were assign to them. When we place the PDF file in our Super Container field it sometime shows all of it or parts of the PDF File. When we assign a person to that file and they open it on the web they are using the Java pic then they have to double-click on it to open the rawdata. Sometimes that only shows a little as well or no picture at all. What is going on? How do we fix this so that we don't have to go into each document's - Super Container field and check each one separately? …

Several months ago I purchased supercontainer. I then loaded supercontainer to my server and implemented it in a solution for an art gallery. They have since decided to go with their own server and so several weeks ago I installed supercontainer on their server and took it off mine. A quick call to 360 works seemed to give me enough information to move the directories and files to the new server. I installed supercontainer and Inside the LAN I can see the images as I changed the supercontainer link to that of the internal IP address of their new server. However, I can not see it remotely. I assume I should be using the external (port forwarded) address but when I do that …

Is there any way to enforce a naming convention for files uploaded to SuperContainer? I have another process reading the stored files (not through SC) and I'd like to make sure the uploaded files don't have certain characters in their names: !@#$%& and so on.

Howdy, As the title states, I have a couple of pres-sales licencing (CDN spelling ) questions: 1) is there an upgrade path (licence) from SC Workgroup to Enterprise ? 2) if I purchase Enterprise, may I, for example, install it on a 3 party FMP host (e.g. Point In Space (PIS)) for a solution for one client, and then also deploy it on FMPSA hosted another client (different client, same "solution") ? As I am just getting into the FMP solution "biz" I would like to keep my costs as low as possible for the moment; but that is not to say that I am adverse to paying whatever it takes to get the job done properly The reason behind 1) above is that, havi…

Hi, I'm trying to use SC in my CWP solution, with no luck. It's error from the beginning. This is the code include "supercontainer.php"; $sc = new SuperContainer('http://www.myserver.com/SC/Files/','Username','Password'); if ($sc->getError()) die('Could not connect to SuperContainer server: ' . $sc->getError()); The error I get is "Could not connect to SuperContainer server: The requested URL returned error: 401" If I open a browser and type in http://www.myserver.com/SC/Files/ and submitting the same name and password I get the question about an applet and I'm lucky. I'm using SC 4.71 on Mac 10.5.8 Help?

I have an FM solution with a large number of images. The solution is made with standard FM behavior, web viewer and AppleScript. It works fine, but it is Mac only. I have therefore tried to replace my solution with SuperContainer. Unfortunately, it does not work. I do not use drag-and-drop because I want more control over what happens when an image is added to the database. Therefore the images are added in a script. There are three phases in the script: 1) The user selects the image file with SCChooseFile 2) An image record is created 3) Image file is saved to SuperContainer with SCSetContainer In approx. 2 out of 5 attempts the image file is saved. In…

1. I have my Filemaker users enter a name into a field, which is parsed, through a script, into a legal directory name. That value is used in the SC Web Viewer as the folder name where I want the image to be stored on the server. I want to know how to prevent users from uploading the image, until that text field has a value in it? HERE'S THE CODE used by the Web Viewer.. "http://videvent.com:8023/SuperContainer/Files/InterviewsAndMusic/" & SESSIONS::ID & "/images/" & CleanFolderName ( SESSIONS::ImageName1 ) 2. Additionally - since the folder name "CleanFolderName ( SESSIONS::ImageName1 )" (see last question code example)…

My company is FINALLY wanting to get serious about web development, which puts me in a small predicament, because I don't know PHP well enough (yet). We are wanting to use SuperContainer for this web project. It'll also be handy for replacing our current document system in our FileMaker solution. Maybe it's my lack of knowledge or there isn't enough samples available, but I can't figure out how to use this in a PHP page. The requirements are very simple - inside a repeating table, show a preview/thumbnail next to a basic description, and when the user clicks on the object, it will open it up in the appropriate program. 95% of these documents are going to be …

I have three questions - thanks for any help you can give me 1. When in Supercontainer (applet enabled) - how do you change the background colour? I need to set it to black and it works with noapplet, but I can't figure out how to do it applet enabled. 2. I'm having trouble with Supercontainer and the webviewer - I'm trying to expand the size of a PDF to fill the webviewer, which I have set to approximately 965 pixels wide x 1250 pixels high, no matter what I do the PDF only fills about 1/2 the size. I've tried it in applet mode and noapplet mode. 3. Is there a feature in Supercontainer to rotate an image 90degrees? (i.e. multiple clicks will bring y…

I need to set and field according to whether or not a files exists at a SuperContainer file path. What is the best way to do this? Dave H.

Is there a way to completely disable the upload feature in the SC webviewer? I can obviously hide the upload button, but the user can still drag and drop. I need to remove the drag and drop ability, and simply show the image at the URL.

Saw the below in an old thread - and 360works mentioned it was added to feature requests - anyone know if its been added or does anyone have a way to do this? thx Steph

Hey guys, We have a system(system2) where we set the SCBaseURL in a script that fires on system open. We then have another system(system1) that has an External File Reference to system2 to display some data. There is a link on a layout in system1 to view a record in system2. When a user clicks that link, another window pops up with the record from system2. The record that show in system2 has a portal of component records(so we have to use an unstored calc to get the SC to show). When you navigate to the record in system2, we get errors in the containers in the portal. My guess is that the SCBaseURL is not set because the file was opened through an external file refe…

I am using SuperContainer to upload medical images to a server, which is working fine. But, occasionally we have need to rotate or otherwise edit the images. I understand the availability to download the image, edit, and then re-upload, but I have run into a few issues. 1. The location where these downloaded images are stored is far from convenient; is there a way to change this default download location to a folder on the desktop? 2. I would love to be able to calculate the FULL filepath to the image, not just the folder containing the image. Is there a way to set a field to only the name of the image? So for example, I have uploaded an image, store at /Supe…

I'm using FMA11.0v3 and have SC 2-744. If I put a WebViewer connected to SuperContainer in the header of a List View layout, it doesn't display the file thumbnail or the "Upload" button. I have "style=showdelete" included in the URL, and the Delete button doesn't show either. However, if I change the layout to Form View, all of these are displayed. I thought this was working in FMA10, but I just tried the same thing there and found similar problems. So maybe it was working back in FMA9, or else I just assumed it was good in List view as well as Form view and never noticed the issue before. I don't see a fix for this listed in the update log, …

Hello. I have just installed SC for the first time on our FMS10 server. SC is running under FMS, and works when writing to its default directory. I tried setting the custom URL for file storage in the XML file to a newly created share on our network file server (Windows 2003 in a domain environment), but every time I tried to upload a file, I got the "Error 500". I understand this is a permissions error, but the only documentation I could find for fixing it referred to OS-X, so was not very helpful. Can SC be set up to write its files to a network share instead of the local FMS server? If so, what are the correct permissions to set on the network share so th…

We are running FileMaker Server Advanced 11.0v2 with Mac OX Server and Supercontainer 2.79. We have upgraded FMSA to the latest version to correct the java issues. I am able to view, open files, upload files from a web viewer on my windows xp and 7 machines. However, when a mac user opens the layout, the webview shows an icon that has a cup with arrows going in a circle within the webviewer. The machines have the correct java update. They can insert files fine, but they can't view them. They can't even see the upload button within the viewer. I've attached a screenshot so you can see what we are seeing. I have tried deleting the fields I use for supercontainer a…

I get an error message when drag and drop a bunch of files on supercontainer. Seems like this functionality to autocreate a zip should work.. Error Pic.pdf

I have read through the documentation, and looked over the forums, and cannot find (or missed) the answer to my simple, and probably obvious, question; does the supercontainer java servlet need to be running on the server, AND all the client machines, or just the server? We are going to move forward with testing on our server soon, and would be nice to know before then. Thanks

I have problems displaying a thumbnail after uploading a file with SC v 2.792 This is on a Windows server 2008 R2. An Appserver is hosting FMS11v2, users use terminal server to log in to a user server from which they launch FMP11. The file uploads correctly via supercontainer, but the icon will not show, even when I give a webviewer action command after a long delay. But when I move away from that record, then select the record again the the icon is present. Users have r/w access to all relevant folders. When I do this directly from a browser in http://IPaddress/SuperContainer/Files/my/custom/file/path it shows the icon immediately. I have attach…

Hi, i wish to pull a file from within a superconainer to the document path on my server (filewin:/C:/Program Files/FileMaker/FileMaker Server/Data/Documents) using server side scripting. Then i would drive a script to send an email using this file as an attahment. It works fine on the client side using any folder name but it just won't work on the server side. Can the SCDownload fuction work on using server side scripting? Is my path name wrong? Needing help here!

When I load the page on IWP with a list of records and documents in the SuperContainer, the first time file info will show. The second time that I call the same list, the info does not show!

Dear sirs/madam, I have 360SuperContainer deployed on my FileMaker Server Advanced. On my router, I have set up port forwarding and Dynamic DNS services to enable a log-in from outside my office. This is where the complication comes in. If i need to use 360SuperContainer from within my local network in my office, the path for the SuperContainer server looks like this http://localhost:8020/SuperContainer/Files or http://192.168.1.100:8020/SuperContainer/Files However, if I need to use SuperContainer from outside my office network, I use the DynDNS address which looks something like: http://MyServer.dyndns.org:8020/SuperContainer/Files This poses a…

I'm building a CWP web directory and would like to serve up the pictures via super container for each business in our the online web directory. How Would Super container perform for this task compared to FMP containers. The speed advantage in SC is from the file resized , but what if the proper file size was stored in FMP, Would SC still be a better option or not? What other factors should I consider or ideas are there? Thanks Charles

I have a database of text descriptions, each one relating to images (up to 4 images for each description). I need to print the descriptions, followed on the page by the images. I have the four web viewers underneath the text description. How can I get this to print such that if the webviewers are blank, the succeeding records move up? If I have to somehow create regular container fields to do this, can somebody explain how to do that? Many thanks!

Hi, I'm hosting a database on FileMaker Server 11 (not Advanced). We would like to use SuperContainer with this database. Is this possible? I've tried installing SuperContainer using Deployment Option 1 from the Documentation (link), but get the error: "Can not find FileMaker Server Web Publishing engine. Please make sure Web Publishing Engine is installed and try again." I believe that we are unable to use Instant Web Publishing, as this is only available if you have Server Advanced or if your database is not on a server. Will this affect our ability to use SuperContainer? Thanks for any help, Miriam

I'm getting an Error 500 when loading SCSetBaseURL. What would cause this?

In the example file from 360works the Portal example is nice, but right click or control click doesn't give download file. I'm sort of understanding why that is. Is it possible to script to download files in Supercontainer portals using the plugin? Thanks

When I double click a PDF from the SuperContainer window it opens in Acrobat as it should, and now if I close the file but leave Acrobat still open, it will not allow another PDF to be opened from SuperContainer until Acrobat is closed then the file will open. Also is there a way to have multiple PDFs open at the same time from SuperContainer? Thanks, Mark

I'm using Supercontainer to batch upload images. One thing I can't figure out, and I hope is possible, is to enter the image/file modified date into a FM field when the images are uploaded. I've tried SCGetInfo for other meta data but it only shows when the files was uploaded. Has anyone does this and is this possible with Supercontainer? I have about 4,000 images to upload and I don't want to manually enter the dates for each image!

I'm new on SupoerContainer. Is it possible to move a file from SuperContainer into a containerfield in FileMaker?

Is there a way to clear the registration information entered into SuperContainer Server so that it goes back to running in Demo mode? It doesn't seem to work to just erase the license key and company name. I've been testing with my own license information but need to clear it to run in demo mode until my client purchases their own license. Thanks, Heather

We had tried to install supercontainer on a couple of different MS servers and have been having some issues in our network ever since. This may not be related, but we want to be sure that we have eliminated this as a potential problem. As SC runs in the background, how can we confirm that it is not running anywhere on our network? Thanks

I am using a SuperContainer web viewer to store an email attachment. When the user selects the document to attach, the actual document name is stored in a text field and the file is then put into the proper SC folder on the FMS computer. This is part of the 'email and notes' communications module of the system. At an other point in the solution, the user may add a note which uses the same fields as the email (without the address, subject, etc.) At the point of note creation the user may also Upload a document into the SC web viewer. Finally, on another screen, the user can view in a portal all the notes and emails sent to a contact. This is an abbreviated …

I have some very rudimentary questions about SuperContainer. I hope someone will be patient enough to answer them. I am not real conversant about computers in general. I make my living as a cabinetmaker. I dabble in filemaker I presently communicate remotely with my shop via shared space on a webserver. I pay an organization $80 per month and they allow me to upload databases onto their serve. I store PDF drawings and jpegs in container fields in the databases and the guys in the shop print their drawings from these PDFs. These PDFs and jpegs are currently embedded in the container field. I have to be careful to not let the file get too big because…

Any idea when you will be updating the versions on your server for both this and Scriptmaster?? If you run the autoupdate script connecting to 360works it wants to install 2.77 ad I haven't yet managed yet to install from the autoupdate folders on my server Also the download package in the AutoUpdate360Works.fp7 to put on the server also point to the olde versions....

Hi, I've downloaded the demo, and also placed a "lostgirl" test web viewer on a layout in a remotely hosted file. Success on both fronts, though I don't entirely understand what is happening. I've read a number of the threads in the forum, as well as much of the documentation from the 360 website but find I'm still slightly confused about whether and how to implement the process I have in mind. I will soon have: 1) A mac mini w/OS X server 2) FMS 11 I would like to: 1) upload pdfs to a shared file 2) have users be able to open, edit, and save the pdf In the "lostgirl" sample scenario, I've got this: 1) I double click on the icon displaye…

hi, sorry if this has been covered and I failed to find it have many multiple page pdf files uploaded and want to either move from page to page within the specific supercontainer file (not pdf file to pdf file) within the web viewer content field in a record. Or at least show how many pages in the pdf supercontainer file. At present can only double click the web viewer to bring up Preview app which then shows all the pages (or only 1 and so a waste of the users time). Any pointers would help my struggles !!! Thanks

I am using SuperConatainer stand alone. I recently upgrade from FM Pro 11 to FM server 11 to host our applications. In order to facilitate local and remote desktop users I user the get(hostIPaddress) to determine what IP address to use to get to superconatiner. Perhaps after switching to Server my code does not seem to pick up the hostIP address anymore. If I set a variable to (get(hostIPaddress) it does not show in the data viewer. Typing in the approrpriate address in a brower either remotely or locally brings up SuperContainer. Thanks Scot

Filemaker is caching supercontainer filed pdf's (or scribe) somehow. Drop pdf into SuperContainer webviewer, file uploads, click extract and data is populated into filemaker fields. Change pdf, drop again to overwrite, data is on server verified, but click extract and the old data is pushed into the fields again. quit filemaker, go back and do just the extract script and new data is written to filemaker, even when I skip the upload step via the webviewer... How to make Filemaker flush the cache??? Close reopen file won't work. only quit filemaker does it.

Hello! After I update my Macbook Pro and my Macmini (server) to Mac OS 10.6.6, supercontainer stop working. I can get Java Running, and can't access files via webviewer. Can someone tell me if this is a Bug, a problem with 10.6.6 our other thing? Best Regards, Joao Coutinho Problem Solved :)

I'm running SuperContainer as a stand-alone application on a Windows Server 2008 machine. (When I try to run it as part of FileMaker Server, I end up with strange permissions errors that my network administrator can't solve...) This works quite well, but I have to manually start SC by double-clicking on the SuperContainerServer.jar file, which is annoying. My Server machine reboots each night, so I must do this daily. I tried using the MS Server "task scheduler" to start SuperContainer automatically each day. But the task scheduler, which essentially starts a command task (directing it to the location of the .jar file) ends up with this error when it tries to open S…

Is there a way to move a whole tree of related SC files from inside FM?? I would like to move everything located on the server inside "Active/BADDOC3..." to "Withdrawn/BADDOC3..." but the SCscanfolder will only work on the local hard drive and not take the SuperContainer/Files path so I cant build a looped script. I can set the calculation in the webviewer to If ( status = withdrawn ; withdrawn & path ; active & path ) to see the various files but some of them have been put there using SCSetContainer as we never want to view them but want them in the storage tree Any ideas??

Hello, I want to allow users to select images that they are seeing in SuperContainer, and associate them with a record in a different table. For example if they were presented with a list of 10 images to choose for a given project, I need to know which ones they choose. Ideally they would be able to drag the SuperContainer image and drop it onto another SuperContainer object, or field. I really only need the file path of the image on the project record. Any suggestions? Thanks, Evan

Hello! I need to make this simple step that I can't find a solution. I need to upload the files to supercontainers, but I need to rename them based on field like, Costumer & _pk Is that possible? Best Regards, JoaoCoutinho

I am running supercontainer on a Windows Server 2008 with FMS 11 using a FMA11 client on a Macbookpro to access via VPN. I am using SC 2.77 to store photographs. Upload and viewing usually is without consequence. The viewer is set to readonly. Unpredictably I will access a record and see in viewer that SC is being accessed but just a white web viewer results. Switching records does not help. Switching layouts with a different size web viewer using same URL pointer usually reloads the related photograph into web viewer. Quitting and restarting client always restores function. Also I occasionally get a java heap error that is always worked around by switc…

set the colour to be anything hex (background-color) works as long as the first value is NOT alphanumneric 99AAFF works, so does 9AF however A9F and anything above just gives white

Hello, I'm having some problem to work with Supercontainers in my computer. When I enable SC plugin, the result is the one on this image. In other machines in my office, the SC works fine, but My MacBook Pro, I have this big Problem. Can someone help me?

I have FMServer 11 running on an HP box on the LAN and serving 5 clients. I also have a separate HP box that I plan to run as an image file store/server. Do I install SuperContainer on the server with FMS11 or on the image server? If the former would this mean that, in addition to the store on the image server, SC creates a second image file store on the FMS11 server? If this is the case wouldn't this 'contravene' the recommendation that the hardware server that contains FMS doesn't try and run anything else? Also, wouldn't the SC file store eat into my HD space for the DB? I'm trying to get my head around SC and what it is, how it works, etc so please be gentle!

Upgrading a client to a new computer. MacMini Intel Mac OS 10.6.5 FMS 11 SuperContainer 2.77 Moved files from old system, everything works fine except SuperContainer shows coffee cups. Is the sc_applet.jar supposed to load when SuperContainer starts? When I double-click on sc_applet.jar app I get the dialog error: The Java JAR file "sc_applet.jar" could not be launched. Check the Console for Possible error messages. Console displays: Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from /Applications/SuperContainer-2_77/SuperContainer/sc_applet.jar I go into my SuperContainer settings and check "noapplet" and the coffee cup goes away and I hav…

Hi, I'm running SC 2.77 in Standalone mode on Snow Leopard, and have a set of web viewers on a layout that users will need to zoom 150% or 200%. I'm finding that if I use the applet, images don't resize. But, if specify a url that includes style=noapplet&width=105 ( the width of the web-viewer ), pdfs immediately acquire scroll-bars, whether at 100% or higher. My URL: "http://192.168.1.242:8020/SuperContainer/Files/PTNT/Documents/2868935/9?style=noapplet&Width=105" I'm following the recommendations of Sam in a post from 2008, quoted below. Is there anything I can do to get web viewers to scale appropriately? If necessary, I can switch to co…

Is there a method to automatically calculate the name of a file in a SuperContainer field and have it displayed in a text field? I have a feeling that the SCGetInfo plugin should be involved, but its use seems to be restricted to scripts and I cannot figure out how to use it in a calculation field. Many thanks. Colin Hunter

First off - it works out of the box and its lovely. A new mac mini server with two hard drives and FMS11 Got the demo file and webpage working SO: Create a folder [FM_files] on the second drive and make it a share point Create folders inside /SuperContainer/Files make the permissions identical /Users/Shared ones i.e. fmserver readwrite all others readonly and parent folder identical to users sharepoint edit web.xml to give /FM_files/SuperContainer/Files as path restart computer open webpage applet, try to upload a file and Error 500.. Not much in the help to help so perhaps you could share some enlightenment

SuperContainer Companion Plugin 2.746 I'm having issues where Supercontainer is degrading image quality when I try to resize images using SCGetContainer. First, I'm running SCSetContainer to move the original image into SuperContainer. I then run SCGetContainer(path; 480;280) to reduce image size, and then export the file using Export Field Contents. When I do this I get this file: SC 480x280 crop.jpg. (attached) If I run SCGetContainer(path; 480;0) I also get the same file. However, when I take the original image in Picasa and reduce it down to 480x280, I get this image: Picasa 480x280 crop.jpg (attached) There is a noticeable qualit…

I wanted to have a script trigger launched upon modification of the SuperContainer web viewer. If there was an image in it, it would do one thing. If there was no image in it, it would do another. I have found if I drag a file into the web viewer no script is ever triggered. If I control click on the web viewer and delete an image and then click on the layout, a trigger will activate. Is there any way to make the dragging of an image into the web viewer activate a script or for a script to be activated when deleting an image from the web viewer without clicking on the layout?

I've been tasked with researching hardware requirements to host a FM database that will make heavy use of SuperContainer. The plan is to have an xserve hosting SC and an alternate server hosting FM Server. We will have up to 24 users managing about 12 TB (to start, could be up to 20 TB within 12 months) of Audio and Video data using FM and SuperContainer. Given the plethora of configuration options available with Xserve, I'm looking for a starting point to determine our hardware needs. Will managing this volume of data require a substantial xserve config (max cores and ram)? Will I need to consider a Fibre Channel RAID array to store all of the data? Will SATA…

I am starting to use SuperContainer installed on our server for uploading files via IWP to out Filemaker data base. I am using the SuperContainer via a webviewer to upload PDF documents. The size of the webviewer is just a bit larger than the PDF icon shown after the file has been uploaded. However, in case there is no file uploaded, the upload button is shown in the webviewer. This button is much larger than the PDF icon. Therefore, I would like to know whether there is a possibility to have a smaller or custom upload/delete button? Is there a possibility to call the webviewer via a script so that immediately the file selection window is chosen - withou…

I have SC installed as stand alone on Mac OSX SL server. That lets me take advantage of the Mac OSX to generate PDF thumbnails. But I can not seem to get the files to store on the the RAID drive. The system drive is small on 120G and we want all files stored on the 1T raid. I put the SC folder on the RAID and ran the server jar from there. But when I put the raid filepath into the server it just creates that path on the system drive. When I chose to browse it doesn't let me browse to the RAID drive.

I want to use the SCMoveLocalFile command with a FM Server Side Script that moves files to the trash can rather than use the SCDelete. This is because the SCDelete makes the file gone for good where if it was moved to the trash during testing, it could be removed from the trash and put back in the FileMaker Server Documents folder. I have tried using the destination path of "~/.Trash" but I get an error. Anyone have a suggestion? Related to this, can you move a file to the Admin accounts trash without the FileMaker Server machine actually being logged in with a user account? For testing I do have it logged in.

for each FileMaker record, I store multiple images, and issue them serial numbers from "image" records in a related table I then built a calculated HTML page ( data URL ) to display all the images together, using RawData, width & height. It does work however, is this efficient? since I can't reference the "thumbnail" folder directly, does the server have to generate a thumbnail to size for each RawData call? even if they are cached, does it generate the first time thru? it seems this could tax the server, if I had a bunch of mega Mb images thanks! greg

My web viewer looks like this "http://myserver.com:8020/SuperContainer/Files/Insights/" & Contacts::_id&"?style=noscroll+nodelete" But a few issues Scroll bar still shows No delete works but right clicking anywhere in the viewer does not bring up the dialog. Seems the target area is only to the right corner. Once the contextual dialog comes up there is no way to dismiss it with using the escape key. Client is FMP 11 Advanced V2.

New to SC... Is there a way to inhibit the thumbnail creation if the dimensions of an image are SMALLER than the viewer?? Seems a bit daft to put a 4kb icon into SC only to have it also create a 20kb thumbnail, which also looks pretty poor, if bigger.

I have a client solution using SuperContainer, and in one of my webviewers is having troble resizing or scaling some of the images on some of the records (about 10 out of 200 records). I moved the images to another database on a different server (my development server), and they seem to scale without any issue. I also tried changing the image in photoshop, converting it from .jpg to .png, reuploading to the problem database and record, and it still does not scale. I've attached examples screenshots of proper and problem records. Any thoughts on this issue are appreciated. Dave Wheelock

I need help with SCSetContainer. I'm bit confused by the \ and /'s being backwards from windows and when to filewin: Should the following work to add a file to supercontainer. $result is resolving to "ERROR" Set Variable[$result;Value:SCSetContainer("Docuaments\175";"c:\test.txt")] Thanks Scott

Okay, this is my first project using SuperContainer and it is inconjunction with FM11. I need to create a folder by Projects::Proj_Num. Then rename each image with Projects::Proj_Num & Document::DocumentName. The documentation is not clear to me for this. Help will be appreciated. Jim
