SuperContainer by 360 Works

I'm successfully using (thanks to 360 and this forum) the SCDownload with showSaveDialog, on Windows. On the client's Mac, it also works *unless* he saves on top of an existing file. Rather than the OS telling him his file already exists and giving him the choice to overwrite or cancel, his FM crashes -- the evaporation kind of crash. I see that there's another flag: "checkForFile: set this is you want to be warned if file exists. if "showSaveDialog" is set, this defaults to false because native save dialogs check for you.(only applies if showSaveDialog is false", but it looks like it can't be used with showSaveDialog. The Mac user was using FM 10 Advanced on Ma…

We have a small workgroup with 5 users running FMP v 11. We have a 6th copy of FMP 11 running on a separate computer to host our application. We do not have the FMP Server software (yet). I would describe our FileMaker traffic as light (subjective I know...). We do not store many documents in our FMP system (yet) but would like this to increase. Can we expect good performance of SuperContainer (Workgroup license) without server software? Thanks, SC

Does anyone know how to structure the grammar to have the SCDownload function show the Save dialog? The official grammer includes "key1=" etc, but doesn't include a position for the "flags" optional parameter (one of the flags is showSaveDialog). I have tried lots of arrangements, and if I include a valid destinationFolder parameter, it works, so my setup is good. But nothing I try will make the Save dialog show up. Help!

I've read through the documentation of SuperContainers and it is a piece of cake to add a document to a record using the web viewer. However, I'm wondering if there is a way to add a document via a portal to become part of a set of related files of a record. At first glance, because you have to use a calculated field to display thumbnails, it would appear that you cannot. However, with the use of script triggers, I'm wondering if there is a way to add a related document by leveraging the plugin to grab filename and upload it. Thoughts?

Hello, I'm experiencing a strange issue where from my office environment the message "Connecting to SuperContainer server" never resolves 50% of the time, and ends up in a java.thread.death message. The other 50% of the time the connection is made without issue. However, from home, I never have a problem connecting to the server. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced something similar and found a solution. Thanks!

I've been able to view QuickTime movies stored in SuperContainer via web viewer by using the "RawData" in my URL like this: http://localhost/SuperContainer/RawData/360Demo/76 When I do this though the movie appears at its native size and doesn't fit into the web viewer window so you only see the top left hand corner. Is there a way to resize the movie so that it fits in the web viewer? The solution is hosted on FMSA 11 running on Windows Server 2003 using SuperContainer 2.744. The client is FMP 11 on Windows XP Pro using the SuperContainer 2.744 plug-in.

when i use Supercontainer on a Windows Server Users the applet java close file maker! can someone help me?

Hi, I am relatively new to SC and have a couple basic questions. I am deploying a system with the following configuration. FMS 11 running on Mac OSX 10.6. Most clients are FMP11 on windows 7, some Mac. All clients are on LAN - no IWP. 1) To use SC in this setup does the server software need to be Filemaker Server Advanced or just FMS? 2) The client also has a main fileserver running Windows Server 2003. Is it better performance (or easier to configure) if we store the SC data files on the same Mac as FMS, or should we store them on the Windows Server? If we wanted the data files stored on the windows box how would we configure this? Would S…

I am trying to configure SuperContainer v2.631 to work with FileMaker Server 10 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Web Edition, SP 2). I have installed and licensed SuperContainer. When I attempt to connect to the container, either through the FMP 10 client or a web browser, I get the following error. Could not connect to SuperContainer server: java.io.IOException: Unable to connect to https://[...my_server_name..]/SuperContainer/Files. The SSL Certificate on this server could not be verified. IIS Manager seems to be happy with the cert (Default Web Site -> Properties -> Directory Security Tab -> View Certificate). The link on the wiki seems to…

Maybe I overlooked this altogether in the forums and the documentation. If so, sorry for repeating the question. SuperContainer worked fine on the one-machine-configuration of our FMSA. We decided to make the solution available for outside IWP users, so we updated to a two-machine-configuration, where the database server is on an internal machine (the original one-machine, not available from outside our LAN) and the web publishing engine and the web server on a second machine (externally available). I can't get SuperContainer to work properly. Can anyone tell me were to install what and which ports to allow between the machines? Thanks in advance …

I have a 2 machine config: FMSA11 on one SL server & web publishing on another SL Web/domain server. Can you tell me which type of SuperContainer (SC) installation I should perform and on which server? Goal: to best enable IWP for SC, allowing preview of pdfs in IWP, over an SSL connection. Install Option 2: Installing SC with FileMaker Server Advanced (but on which server, the "worker" with web engine, or the "master"?) Install Option 3: Installing SC with Tomcat (which is a manual installation for Snow Leopard Server). Will I lose webviewer interactivity by using this method? If I have a CA installed on the web server, and SC is also installed th…

Trying to figure out the most efficent way to attach SuperContainer images as email attachments using SMTPit Pro from CNS Plug-ins. Do not want to send URL, but images them selves. Was wondering if anyone else was doing this and how.

Why is it that some files with names like "Address Book - 2010-01-29.abbu" or "iCal 2009-08-12.icbu" are zipped when saved on the SuperContainer Server via SCSetContainer. Others files like pdf and jpgs are not. (There are no folder actions involved.

Hello all, I couldn't find a post that quite captures my sticking point. I've had great luck with SuperContainer on a standalone computer. But after getting it all installed onto a MacOSX Snow Leopard Server, running FMS11, while I can log on remotely and get Supercontainer to work, I can't call an appropriate path to get the files to save onto the Server itself. The connection is going to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5003 (the only port that would actually get to the database from the remote client). When I log in remotely, if the opening call script goes to localhost:8020, all is well, and files go throughand show up (on my own remote computer). But I tried se…

My users need to add about 4000 images to our Image Archive which is running on Server 10 Advanced / Windows 2003 Server. They want to import all images at the same time and after awhile the process slows to about 1 image per minute. With smaller batches, it runs at about 9 to 10 images per minute. My question(s): Why does it slow down? Is there anything that can be done about that? Is there a recommended "batch" size for image imports. We are planning a restart of the server this evening to see if that will have any effect. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Andi

Hi Guys wondering if anyone else has been experiencing crashing with 10.6? I have SuperContainer 2.62 running on FMSA 10.0.1.64 on OS X Server 10.5.7 and locally OS X 10.6 and i can't load either the applet or non-applet viewer without FMPA 9 & 10 crashing with following error; Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000 Crashed Thread: 27 Application Specific Information: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'JavaNativeException', reason: 'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/plugin/javascript/webkit/JSObject' ------------ I would be fantasicaly grateful if someone can layou…

I recently installed the latest version of SuperContainer Companion Plugin in an attempt to resolve an ongoing issue I've been having. Previously, after 20-30 SuperContainer calls, the plug got progressively slower until it stopped working all together. With the newest version, the plug never gets slower but after 20-30 calls, I get the following error: Unable to load preview for this item: Java heap space. The issue is occurring on several machines, all Mac Mini's with 4Gb Ram and running OSX10.6.3. Any help with this issue would be appreciated, Peter

I just updated (and since downgraded) to SC 2.743 and I experienced an issue with SCChooseFile returning no results. After the SCChooseFile call (which has been working perfectly in an older version of SC), I do an SCSetContainer and get the following error: java.lang.NullPointerExceptionL data must not be null. I tried to view the variable that should have contained the file path and it was blank, I tried to set a field using SCChooseFile and it also returned blank. Thanks, Peter

This is a reproducible error. I can create a pristine file and place two SuperContainer webviewers on one layout. When I close the window, it crashes FileMaker. This is reproducible under the following conditions: Client: Windows XP SP3 FMPA 10.0v3 Java 1.6.0_14 (as well as the two previous versions) Server: Latest version of SuperContainer FMSA 10.0v3 Mac OS X 10.5 The crash DOES NOT OCCUR when: --The client is running FMPA 9.0v3 on WinXP SP3 --The client is running FMPA 10.v3 on Mac OS X 10.4.11 --There is only one SC web viewer on the layout I can send the crash logs if this would be helpful.

For a solution I'm working on, a number of users are uploading files to Super Container via IWP. I'm scripting the process so that a record is created in a 'Documents' table with the ID generating the file path. When files are uploaded via FMP I use the SC Plugin to grab the file name and size, so that this information can be displayed in list views etc. However, when files are uploaded via IWP the plugin cannot be utilised. (At least I don't think so, I've tried it in both the Server plugins folder and the Web Publishing plugins folder). The Document records are left without the required info. Is there any way of 'triggering' a calc that will be execut…

Ive got an install of Supercontainer up and running and have not touched it long enough time so that i forgot why i did some of the things i did when i set it up. Now i need to build another use for it and im running into a knowledge gap where the set base url is concerned. A $$var called $$sc_base_url is set to http://servername/SuperContainer/Files" at startup. The set base url function is invoked during the startup script and the result is used to determine if the plugin is good to go. The parameter for is: SCSetBaseUrl ($$sc_base_url). The webviewer uses $$sc_base_url with some other arguments that specify the unique location. The servernameC:Program Fil…

Jesse, I am continuing the thread from TechTalk here since I know a little more now. Its definitely not a SuperContainer issue but hopefully you'll have dealt with this before. Here is what I know: > I need to move some objects stored in Containers to SuperContainer. > When I first called SCSetContainer, a logo file was stored in the SuperContainer. It looks just like the logo that had been in the container but it is, in fact, just a JPEG with the name Untitled. > Upon further investigation, I discovered that the users are following this workflow to store files in the containers: right-click the container > Insert Object... > Create From File…

Our customer has a website with multiple colors. And the design goes also into buttons for downloads. In a part of the website where the overall color is blue, the download button of a PDF is also blue. I have changed already a icon in the images folder of Supercontainer. But is there a way to address a other PDF icon in that folder that contains a other color?

When i use the nolink parameter in the web-viewer, i still can click on the icon and there opens a new window with the icon of the document. I don't want this to happen. Can anyone help me with this? This is tested on the Mac with IWP

Hi, One of our clients gets consistent FMP crashes when the SC plugin is installed, under Windows 7. FMP crashes when getting to the splash screen. No files are being opened, just double clicking the FMP icon does this. Env: Windows 7, 32 bit FMP 10 or FMPA 10 or FMP 11 or FMPA 11 Once the plugin is removed, FMP functions normally. In some cases he has SMTPit installed, but several tests were done on fresh FMP installs. This was reproduced on more than one Windows 7 machine. Any ideas? Anything else to try or look into? Thanks! Roger

When i place the supercontainer on IWP, looking with a Windows PC everything looks fine. But on a Mac, on the left and top of the supercontainer there is a gray bar of ± 3 pixels (like a border) I have done anything to get a transparent picture but a get these gray borders, can anyone help me with this? Many thanks !

hello - i upgraded from fm server 10 to 11 and can't get supercontainer working again; what am i missing? - downloaded current java - downloaded current sc (2.742) - double-clicked the Installer.jar file in the SuperContainer folder - get message "SuperContainer was successfully installed..." - close all databases, stop the database server, and restart the server - restart the database server and open the database - point browser to http://[my server address]/SuperContainer - browser says "This page cannot be found..."

Hi, I have to create a Digital Asset Management for a number of clients. The clients can upload video files to FileMaker Server Advanced and see them via IWP. The problem is that the SC viewer shows QuickTime files only in Safari. Firefox and Internet Explorer download the movies instead of showing them in an embedded frame. This, using RawData. Using Files, I can only view the file icon. I tried to bypass the problem accessing the videos directly via browser, but the problem remains the same. I modified the XML file in the Filemaker server folder and obtained to have the files correctly uploaded to Library/Webserver/Documents. Unluckily, when I try to reach the fil…

I need to export thumbnails all of the same height 120px if I use SCGetContainer(resource; 0;120) it should ignore the width and just resize all to 120 height. It doesn't - it resizes to either 120 width or 120 height (for portrait/landscape images) same with SCDownload help!!!

I've set up the demo version of Supercontainer and it's working on the clients host computer. (It worked fine on my set up as well) I log in to Filemaker 10 via remote to client's file and don't see the demo or upload file button on the container field. It's there and works fine uploading or copying and pasting on the host computer. Is this a matter of port forwarding and firewall for the network in System preferences? What do I need to do? I am not a network person. The ip address I set in supercontainer container field should be the same as the IP address I use to log in to the fm file remotely, correct? Thanks in advance.

Hello guys, Is it possible to use within a script the date a file has been loaded through SuperContainer? I have a table with a date field and each record has a file (loaded through SC) and I need to check if the date are the same or not. Thanks and have a nice day.

Hello All, I am trying to isolate the Java 6 update 18 error to the SuperContainer plugin. I downloaded and installed the latest version of the plugin but still got the error. So, I thought I would remove the plugin to see what FileMaker did without it. I removed the plugin from the Extensions folder and upon booting FileMaker 10, I still see the loading of SuperContainer in the Loading window before the error stating that FileMaker has encountered a problem. I have uninstalled FileMaker 10 and reinstalled a clean copy but I still see "Loading...SuperContainer Companion Plugin". What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to figure out if this is the correct solution. Out db is living on and served from FMPSA 9 on a mac. I want to reletively link pdfs to a container field. All the pdfs live on a separate server. These pdfs are not in a web folder and are maintained and updated by ten different designers. This is working just fine right now in testing using FMPA 9 client. When a pdf is updated, it is also updated at the client level. When I try to use IWP the content of the container is not viewable because it is not in the server web folder. We do not want to maintain two sets of files and moving our fileserver onto the webserver is not an option. Will superco…

I updated from 2.73 to 2.74 and ran into a problem. I did not have Super Container configured to require a password, but when I switched to 2.74 and opened my database to view something being held by Super Container, a pop-up requested a password to access the Super Container file. I switched back to 2.73 and all was well. Any thoughts?

I have a Windows XP Laptop that shows a runtime error when encountering a SuperContainer field. the error contains the following. Microsoft JScript runtime error, syntax error, object expected and asks to debug the script. We can't escape from this error to continue on. We are thrown into Just In Time Script debugger -- screen shot is attached of this stage. I've upgraded SuperContainer, and downloaded Java in hopes that would resolve the issue. This is happening only on one PC. Another encountered the trust applet warning and has continued on with no problems. system details: Laptop: Windows XP 2002 Service Pack 2 logging remotely to a Filemaker…

We had FMServer 9 running on a Windows 2003 Server (Standard Edition) with an install of Tomcat 5.5 in order to enable Super Container as a web app. We just upgraded to FMServer 10 Advanced and now our original Tomcat 5.5 service will not start. I'm assuming that the version of Tomcat that is installed with FM10 Advanced for web publishing is the issue. Any suggestions?

Good morning, I'm testing the demo version of the Supercontainer. I would need to be able to save more than one file in one folder. Has anybody tried to do this? For example, having a table called Photo, I'd like to save in a folder named "Currentdate" all the photo created that day, with the name "idphoto.jpg". Using the function SCSetcontainer I could give the right name to the files, but they are saved in a differente folder each. Thank you very much for your help in advance. Judit

On a few recent installations on MacMini Server snow leopard 10.6.2 I tried to install SC v2.72 but the installer failed with the message unexpected error. These were new machines, no other processes running besides FMServer 10. The FM webserver was up and running. Is there anything on this configuration that gives this issue?

We'd like to restrict some uploads by disallowing certain file types or perhaps allowing just certain file types. Can this be done using SuperContainer? I don't see it in the docs. Thanks, Gary

I'm trying to install SuperContainer using the installer, for use with Filemaker Server 10 Adv. When I run the installer it gives me an error "Can't write to the installation directory, please make sure you are logged in with an administrative account." I am logged in with an administrative account. What directory is the installer trying to write to so I can verify that I have permissions? I am currently using Vista.

I'm working on a FileMaker custom web publishing application based on PHP and FX and I want to use SuperContainer to upload files from a web browser. The PHP classes provided with SuperContainer seem to have what I need, but the examples in the documentation do not show how to make an upload button/window/portal. Would someone share code from a working installation similar to the file upload facility on 360Works site at http://360works.com/upload/uploader ? Thanks, Gary

Is it still not possible to get the image dimensions from SC? And is it possible to specify the jpeg quality when d/l an image (or d/l via a fmp container)? Some complex images come out as very large jpegs (around 600k) and I'd like to vary the jpeg quality until the filesize reaches a set limit (eg 200k)...

Experienced on a mac, but novice PC user. Have downloaded SC 2.71 on PC, but when I double-click on any of the .jar files, WinZip opens and tries to extract them. Unable to get past this hurdle to install anything. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a way to modify/change a file name of a file stored in SuperContainer? Ideally, I'd like to change the name during a move process (SCMove), but if it needs to be done before or after the move, that will work. Thanks for the help!

I have just downloaded the updated 2.7 install package, and when I click on the install.jar file the installer doesnt run. older install files will run. I am installing on windows server 2003 running fm server advanced 10.0. any ideas what might be occuring?

Perhaps I have missed something in the documentation... But, is there a way to change the format for displaying date/time and file-size in the title of a Supercontainer? dd/mm/yyyy is what our customers would like to see, not the default mm/dd/yyyy. And 124678335 bytes is not as intuitive as 12.5Mb.

I recently upgraded a system from OSXS 10.5.8 to 10.6.2, and also an update of FMS 10 to 10.0.2. It had a copy SuperContainer installed, which was probably working, but hadn't tested. I ran the .jar installer with the latest version of SC to update the previous install, which seemed to work. After the updates however, it was not working. I could get to the page to enter the serial, but couldn't access files. In the Apache log I was seeing error messages like this: It then tried to uninstall, but got an "unexpected error" dialog. Same if I tried to update. I then trashed all files in /Library/FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/publishing-engine/cwpe-tom…

Hello all, We have a solution for a client that has three SC webviewer objects on a layout. When printing the current record, all three objects print fine. When printing a found set of, say, 90, they print (or don’t) inconsistently, with maybe 80% blank. If I switch the style to noapplet, they print fine. Here’s the problematic code: "http://" & $$SC_URL // set in the Logon script & "/SuperContainer/Files/" &Get(FileName)&"/" & SAMPLE:__kp_SampleID &"_A" & "?width=220?height=195" And here it is with the noapplet tag: "http://"& $$SC_URL // set in the Logon script & "/SuperContainer/Files/" &Get(Fil…

Thought my dreams were answered by SuperContainer, then hit wall. Hope someone can get me back to that earlier bliss place. a) I am using the demo version of SC until I know it works for my setup. I'm currently testing the standalone version of SC for basic functionality… so no FMP complications yet. Its running on an intel Mac with OS X 10.6 and current java release. c) Windows 7 / IE8 users inside and outside my LAN are able to access this page http://x.x.x.x:8020/SuperContainer which displays the "SuperContainer version 2.631" page with four lines of links below it. So I'm pretty sure the router ports are correctly open to receive traffic. …

Hi all My [color:blue]FileMaker 10 Advanced server (language italian) is installed and his own web publishing engine is enabled. I'm sure and I can confirm the web engine is working beacuse Admin console says that and because I can open my project from a browser opened on another client computer. Anyway, when launching (as docs explains) the file [color:blue]installer.jar a java form starts (jre last version installed and working) saying: It's is not true, web publishing engine works, what's the problem then? any hints? installer.jar seems to be an automatic procedure, and a workaround can be performing the procedure manually, but this …

I have been randomly losing my connection with Super Container. Sometimes it will work and sometimes it will lose connection and I have to restart it on the server side. The client loses connection because SuperContainer will intermittently quit on the server side. In terminal mode, the error exception thrown seems to be memory that Supercontainer failed to access ( it gives a hexidemical memory address ) . Any help would be much appreciated.

We have a FileMaker 9 Advanced server running on Mac OS 10.5.4 with SuperContainer 2.1.9. We were running out of space on a hard drive, so as a test I edited the web.xml file to point to a network drive. Worked fine, but when I tried to copy the existing files over to the network drive, SuperContainer couldn't find them. Basically it just wouldn't render anything in the FileMaker field except the upload button. At this point I tried to roll back from my experiment, changing the path again in web.xml back to /Users/Shared/SuperContainer Instead of showing the files in SuperContainer fields, it now showed 404 errors. Checking the Apache logs, I saw that it…

Hi all, This is my first ever FM question... Sorry if its an obvious problem but I've been searching forums and the install docs for hours before bothering you all with this. I've got Supercontainer Server running. Taken the address and made it the address for my web viewer. And added a Document ID field to store the info...? "http://192.168.2.1:8020/SuperContainer/Files/" & Projects Simon::Document ID The problem is that theres an error message at the bottom of the web viewer saying "The operation couldnt be completed. Cannot allocate memory" It seems to let me drag images into the viewer, switch records and it retains the images. But as…

Hello - I have an issue with users on machines where they do not have admin rights. We are using SC on a Windows Server with FM Server 9. My Mac users repeatedly get message like: "The publisher cannot be verified by a trusted source. Code will be treated as unsigned" and "An applet from 'SERVER' is requesting unrestricted access to your computer. The digital signature from "360 Works" has been verified."

My question is: is there any way that I can issue a "Certificate" to authorize this access and have IT install it on all of the affected computers? In cases …

I'm new to Filemaker and I've discovered the SuperContainer. I've been looking over the documentation but would appreciate a sample of it's use. I'm finding it a bit easier to see thing work with FIlemaker as I learn how to use it. Any suggestions or a pointer to a file would be appreciated. Regards and thanks,

Hi, I'm running SuperContainer 2.631 with FMS 10.0.2 in IWP on a W2k3 Server. I've had to jump through hoops to get Supercontainer Images to display in a WebViewer when in Preview Mode. Websites display fine, and the URL expression will Evaluate while in Preview mode. But Web Viewers pointing to SuperContainer are behaving differently. If the image loads in Browse Mode,and then I switch the layout to Preview, the image displays fine. But this is because normal FM behavior is that the Expression doesn't re-evaluate when switching to Preview. What I found was that if I put a Pause before PrintSetup [Restore;No Dialog], I get the images. If I disable the p…

Hello, I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with Supercontainer on windows. Our config: FM10 Server on Win2003, Supercontainer 2.631 on Apples XServe, Users: FMP 10, mixed OSX (Leopard) and Windows. I am using the plugin version 2.631 while the users are using 2.62 as I haven't found the .tar file for 2.631 yet. I was testing to make sure auto update was working. On windows, the portal rows show up fine, click on a portal row and the webviewer window will show up, but an IE Webpage error pops up with the following message: Line: 15 Error: Object Expected You can click OK and the SC functionality works fine and the preview shows up. Any idea what's c…

Using SC and the webviewer, I can view PDF files on my Mac and on my Windows 7 PC. Using the same software, my client can't see the PDF images on their Windows XP PC. They can only the PDF icon. I don't think the issue is with Windows XP, but am out of ideas. Any ideas what might be causing this problem? Thanks very much, WB

I've setup security in my database such that if a lock field is set, several things happen. Script triggers will verify from the field either allowing or disallowing events, and user privileage set is affected by it not allowing certain classes of users to edit or change the record (essentially everyone except admin). However, this doesn't work for supercontainers on that same layout. I have successfully been able to lock the layout and all portals from it... but not supercontainers. Can this be accomplished where if a field evaluates true, supercontainer does not allow changes but will display current content?

Hi, I'm running FMSA 10.0.2.206 on a Windows 2003 Server (all patches and updates to date), in the client side running FMPA 10.0v3 on Snow Leopard (all patches and updated to date) SuperContainer Standalone version 2.631. I've downgraded the Java to version J2SE5, changed the preference order for application and web browser to use by default J2SE5 in update the default order in the Utilities/JAVA Preferences. But each time i try to open a Supercontainer link thru the Web Viewer or Safari. The application closes. Any ideas how to fix the problem? Marcelo

On an iMac OSX10.6 the function "save to my custom filepath" works well, however when I do a scripted upload using SCsetContainer, choosing a pdf from the desktop, I get the message "could not upload file... (no such file or directory)". This user has full rights on the iMac, but I'm assuming some sort of permissions issue. Other Macs in the same network give no problems with the same FM solution. Clues anyone? TIA, Peter

Hi gang, We recently upgraded and rebuilt our FileMaker Server, previously we were on 10.4.11 and FMS 9, we're now on 10.6.2 and FMS 10. We've also installed the latest version of SuperContainer 2.631. When FMP 9 clients try to connect to the server, they get an error message: "Could not connect to the SuperContainer Server!; SCLastError" We've also updated the plugin on both the server and workstations. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, Joe.

I'm running SuperContainer 2.61 on a Mac server with FMSA 10. On the workstations, we've installed the SuperContainer plug-in (2.62). I'm using the plug-in so that documents can be displayed in a portal since one record will have several documents attached to it. The problem I'm running into is that when I first log-on to the system, the containers display "ERROR" instead of the file. Once I upload another file, everything works fine. So, my assumption is that this is an authentication issue. I am setting the "SCSetBaseURL" call within my opening script (in both the interface file and the data file -- this solution is using the separation model). But still,…

Okay first off let me preface this post by stating that I have very little filemaker experience. I'm the webmaster for a municipality and one of our sub groups has recently joined our main network. As a result all of their machines changed private IP addresses. This group used filemaker and the PHP API to publish a series of reports with file attachments to the web, that I later found out were being handled by the SuperContainer plugin. Long story short, the URLs to the documents are still showing the previous private IP address in both the filemaker clients and on the website. I have scoured the server but I cant seem to locate anything that would be recognizabl…

I am trying to install SuperContainer v2.631 on Mac OSX SERVER 10.6 and cannot enter the registration code or get SC to work. I did a manual install as the installer gave an unknown error, then adjusted the mod_jk.conf file as instructed, adding these 2 lines: JkFmMount /SuperContainer/* cwpe JkFmMount /SuperContainer* cwpe I do get the opening page on localhost:8080, but when I try to register the registration URL fails. Also the test upload fails. Anything I can try or is this a known issue with SnowLeopard Server? TIA Peter

Hello FM Forums, I'm trying to use the SCGetFileURL function but I can't seem to get the parameters right. I understand folderPath, but why and how am I supposed to write a winPath if I'm working on a Mac? I tried only using the macPath and the folderPath, but FM told me "there are to few parameters" I'm sure this is very simple, but I can't seem to find anything online that will help. Thanks in advance, Jose.

Someone before me added super container to our file maker server 9 and we had not used it until now. I added a super container field to one of the layouts in the databse and it works just fine. But when i log into IWP this comes up inside the SC field Address Not Found Firefox can't find the server at 199049-app2. The browser could not find the host server for the provided address. * Did you make a mistake when typing the domain? (e.g. "ww.mozilla.org" instead of "www.mozilla.org") * Are you certain this domain address exists? Its registration may have expired. * Are you unable to browse other sites? Check your network co…

Hi all, I'm trying to use the native save dialog in SC, but nine times out of ten it appears BEHIND Filemaker, without showing up on the taskbar! Not knowing this, my users keep clicking on the button again and again, causing all manner of havoc and crashing Filemaker. Please, does anyone know why this happens? The computers involved are all XP and Vista. Thank you all in advance, yet again!

Deploying SC on a Mac takes advantage of the Corimage capability of the Mac OS to render thumbnails of uploaded files. But what if you use Windows as your fileserver? Can you set up a Mac to run the SC Java Servlet and configure SC to store the uploaded files to a separate windows server on the local network?

how can i trigger a script when a user closes a window? i thought one way would be to use a Custom Menu for "Hide Window" but i don't seem to be able to make a Custom Menu for items in the Window menu...

Previous to SC v2.631 eps files would show as a thumbnail in sc. They now show as generic icon and filename info. Not sure if the 2.631 was actually when the change happened or something else caused it. Any advice appreciated. Mac OSX 10.5.8 Filemaker 10 latest hosting files

I just finished installing SuperContainer 2.631 onto 10.6 and i have some useful notes. Just in case anybody experiences the same issues OR somebody might be able to lead me down the right path rather than use my bodges. I had to remove the port designation ":8020" for all occurrences of SC throughout the database to get it to show up correctly. I don't know why but it would be nice to know. Scratch that! To make the images display as they did before the upgrade i had to add "+nodelete+center" into the style section of the url when using "noapplet". Otherwise i got the delete box and a handy (but not so handy) scroll bar down the right hand side of a…

I am trying to install SuperContainer fresh onto OS X 10.6.1 running FMSA 10.0.2.206. All i am getting (with both Version 2.631 and Version 2.62) is "an unexpected error occurred during installation". Even when i try to remove the installation i get the same error. Currently i have restarted the server to no effect. Has anyone experienced this or can offer any advice?

Hi, I've got SuperContainer 2.56 running on a W2K3 install of FMS 10.0.2.206. I'm trying to get a second instance running. I copied the SuperContainer folder to SuperContainer2, updated the web.xml file with info (root path, key), and updated the uriworkermap.properties to load the second instance. It works. I am able to upload successfully to folders in both SuperContainer and SuperContainer2. There is, however an odd caching problem if the same URL exists for each. After uploading to these directories, they display consistantly: fms10/SuperContainer/Files/SCTest/ fms10/SuperContainer2/Files/SC2Test/ If I put in this URL: fms10/SuperContai…

I'm sure that this is pretty simple to do, but how can I automatically launch SuperContainerServer.jar from within the Mac version of FMP 10? Since it isn't an application the Send Event function doesn't work. Does this require an Apple script? For Windows I assume it is a simple batch file but I can't test that since I can't get SuperContainer to work on my pre-release version of Windows 7. Hopefully when that problem will be resolved when I get the official release later this month. Thanks, Will

Is there a tag or method that will center images vertically? Thanks, W

I set up SuperContainer last week (standalone, running on a Mac using FileMaker Pro 10). I open the database (hosted on that Mac) with a PC computer, and SuperContainer is working fine on the PC (which has FM Pro Advanced 10). However, today I can't get SuperContainer to work properly on the (host) Mac, though it is still working on the (guest) PC. The Mac error, which comes up in the web view box, just says, "Timed out". I don't get this error on the PC. Any thoughts? I thought I'd solved my container issues when I found SC, and yet here's another snag...

I thought I would add this here to see if anyone else would find this useful. This is just a new feature request, and I know the 360works staff read these forums. When you drop a PDF on top of a container that already has a PDF in it, you get the option to append the new PDF to the existing PDF. This would be very useful, and would be a workaround for not being able to store multiple files in one folder on the server. Not sure how hard this would be to implement. Just thinking aloud :

To utilize SC Standalone CoreImage Rendering with FM server I'm trying to run SC server on startup. Can anybody help please with creating a content for System/Library/StartupItems?

Which version of Java should I be using with Super Container? On my mac with my OSX v10.6.1 (Snow Leopard) I have Java SE 6 and that seems to work just fine. But on my client's mac - they have Tiger and Java J2SE.5.0 On that machine, you don't get the upload button, just a red x. I saw on a different post. that adding ?style=noapplet to the URL will fix this by making Super Container work as if it is an older version. I did this, and it worked, but what are the repercussions? What about windows? What version of java is best, or does it depend on the operating system? Thanks. - Joe Gold Angel City Data

I'm having a couple issues installing SuperContainer with FileMaker Server 10 (running on Windows Server 2008). Any help is appreciated! First, the SC documentation says to "copy the entire SuperContainer download folder to your server, and double-click the Installer.jar file..." How/where do I copy the SuperContainer folder? There are a lot of folders within my FileMaker Server folders! (This is probably a very elementary question.) I am running XML instant web publishing (but no other kind) - is that sufficient? Currently, I copied the SC folders into the top-level FMS folder. I double-clicked on Installer.jar, and hit the "install" button. Then I tried to ope…

Hello I upgraded a client server to FMS 10 and the latest version of SuperContainer. The client is using Mac OS X Server 10.4.11, Java 5. In Demo mode, the SuperContainer was working fine, however, once I entered the registration code, I started getting Error 500 every time. I fixed the permissions on the SuperContainer files as directed in the FAQs and restarted the server. The /User/Shared/SuperContainer files and folders are now showing the correct permissions, but I am STILL getting Error 500. Any clues?? Karen Help greatly appreciated...

I'm in the process of determining if I'm doing something wrong, or if this is just how the system is designed to work. Our system is for digital storage of packing slips, receiving reports and similar documents on our primary file server. These documents are either scanned from the physical printouts or generated by FileMaker's internal PDF engine. All documents are uploaded to the server using the Companion Plug-in so that we can control the document name once it hits the server. Using the SuperContainer/Files/... file path, the web viewer displays the document name, size and upload date. The only way I can get a "preview" image to display in the web viewer …

I'm using Mac OSX v 10.6.1 (Snow Leopard) I downloaded the latest version of SuperContainer - v2_631, images seem to work in list view, but when I switch to a detail view, FileMaker crashes. This occurs using the sample file they provided as well as my own file.

Mac OSx 10.6.1 After uploading a file to supercontainter through the Java Applet all web viewers become unresponsive. Here is a movie that shows the problem. http://screencast.com/t/VitXBisuE1g UPDATE: movie with sound http://screencast.com/t/Xt30PQaXhMgG Has anybody seen this? Thanks Todd

If have supercointainer running in C:SCsserver and i want to use SCScanDirectory to return a list of all the files in D:Files can i run set base url then ScScanDirectory("D:Files" ; "recursive") to produce a list of the files in a calc field that returns text?

Hi all I'm still having problems with large images with all my SC clients... They import large (30mb+) tiffs into filemaker with SC. They need to export large (1200px x 1200px) 72dpi and 300dpi jpegs from the tiffs. Using SCGetContainer with a specified w/h has been working well to generate the jpegs which I then export with export field contents - but this won't work for large tiffs. If I display the image in a web viewer with the "noapplet" style, and a 300dpi resolution it displays a jpg or png on the screen ok. So SC can generate the large jpg/png and display it in filemaker but can't then export it in anyway? It's very frustrating because I …

Currently, I'm running SuperContainer 2.2 on a Mac running 10.411, along with FMSA 10.0.1.64. When I try to upgrade to SuperContainer 2.61, I get an "Installation Error: Authentication failed, incorrect password" after entering in the System Admin Password. The password is definitely correct. I ran a couple of sudo commands via the terminal just to be sure there wasn't a problem with the password. Not sure what to do next. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Yvonne

Ok - how does SC name the thumbnails and folders? one example I have is original filename: JJ29924 a3.tif folder: 200x200o thumbnail: JJ29924 a3_tif.jpg so is it: tifs - replace .tif with _tif.jpg folder name 200x200o jpgs - keep as they are... folder name 200x200o png - keep as they are... folder name 200x200t and other filetypes? None of this is documented on the 360works site...

I JUST purchased SuperContainer 2.62 Enterprise version license and have read the documentation and have even searched on the FMForum for the answers to my questions but have not been very successful. Can you please help a SuperContainer Noob with a little help? I understand how to script buttons to interact with Container fields, but for the life of me I cannot figure out HOW TO do the same thing using SuperContainer to create a script or automate a button to: 1. Email an attachment of a file stored using Supercontainer. 2. Delete, ADD or OPEN a file stored using Supercontainer. I used the following to reference the file in SuperContainer, but I'm not …

I am running SC (v. 2.61) with FileMaker Server 9 on OS X 10.4.11. I'm trying to add a background color to an SC field (specifically RGB color 208, 186, 113). I've followed the SuperContainer documentation, but cannot get the color to change in the field. Here's my SC container URL "http://myserveripaddress:8009/SuperContainer/Files/idot_bridges/pdfs/" & IDOT Bridges::Structure Number SC documentation states "this not a style parameter, but its own separate URL parameter." But the examples that the documentation gives does nothing with the SC field color. How does one change the background color? Thanks in advance.

SuperContainer is hosted on fmps9. Sometimes Delete Button fails. Sometimes works but changes on server not showing in other layouts until restart of fmp client. I updated a while back but did not find this error before now. I shut down server and verify and repair did not help. Should I re-install supercontainer? I installed and registered 2.6 didn't help...I am using style noapplet+nodelete+readonly, if that helps. thanks Charles [email protected]

Will SuperContainerServer.jar work in Windows 7? When I try to run it I get the message in the attachment. Do I need to start it from a different file location? Thanks, W

I was able to get the Migrate script to work using the tutorial in 360 works. The migrate script is the one that transfers whatever image is in the container field and puts it in the SC field. However, I have 23k records that need to be migrated...how would I go about creating a script that does this automatically for all records?

We've found that when SC moves the file from its storage location to the temp folder on the web server (different machines in our case) an extra character is added to the filename. PHP tries to move the file for transfer to the client's browser but the move/rename command fails because the filename is incorrect (doesn't have the extra character). Placing a Trim around around the commands in line 160 seems to have fixed it.

I am thinking of changing all my container fields to SC fields in my database but there is one problem I want to overcome first before I do. All of my current container fields are filled up with images for each of the products in my database (23k products) I realize that once i change them to SC fields the images will not show up on the website anymore because SC fields are not actual fields in the database. How would I make SC fields appear on my website and how would I be able to create the relationship between the SC field and the product that is being presented. Meaning making sure that the SC field is loading with the right product... thoughts?
