Is it possible to have an email sent when a record is submitted on the web? The email would be sent from the host computer running the FM database.

I have our site pretty much complete. The find all link from the left menu works great: http://192.168.29.13/search/recordlist.php?-db=usna61&-sortorderone=ascend&-max=25&-sortordertwo=ascend&-lay=Web&-action=findall&-sortfieldtwo=First%20Name&-skip=0&-sortfieldone=Last%20Name& Is there a way to create a link that will find all records where the field "CG" equals "D"? Thanks Todd

Hi Setup:IIS6, Windows Server2003 sp2,Server 9 Advanced I am trying to configure the 2 machine deployment. I was able to get the test page to work (FMServer_Sample) but when I try connecting via FX.php (4.2) print_r gives me "...FX: ExecuteQuery XML error: Mismatched tag at line 11...FX_Error Object *RECURSION*...". I have tried many combination of things but at one time it worked if I used the 1 machine configuration. Anybody else run into this? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I have tried to replace the iwp homepage but it is not working and defaults to the FM homepage. I have followed the instructions in the FM manual and placed the html in the correct directory in the Filemaker server folder (Web Publishing/IWP/iwp_home.html) I have read just about every post related to this and it seems there are a lot of people having this same problem. Any clues?

What solution can anyone recommend for time, date time-stamp managment when using IWP. The Browser seems to want to always commit on the Server date rather then the client? How does one get the local time rather then the FM Server time? This is driving me nuts, maybe its so simple no-one ever asks if it is go ahead make my day.

setting up the connection between fmp and lasso has always been something i dreaded far more the dentist, so when i installed fmp9 server in order to construct new lasso solutions, i held my breath. since doing this, i've lost my ability for my old fmp6 solutions to operate in lasso, and i've yet to get my fmp9 ones to work. seems like every file i open i get messages about 'can't share due to other user'. in order to get lasso to see the new fmp files thru fmp server, i had to turn off those settings in fmp6 that allowed it to work. is that how its supposed to work--having to change sharing options everytime i want to work on an old or new solution? why do i always…

Hi there, Im trying to write a bit of code that sends an email from a newsletter back to me showing the recipient's email address. I don't know how to capture the senders email address. Ive tried 3 different ways of doing it: 1) <?php to = '[email protected]'; $subject = "Unsubscribe to ACWA Newsflash"; $msg = "Please remove this email address from the ACWA Newsflash email list.n"; mail($to, $subject, $msg ); ?> 2) <?php $mail=$_GET['mail']; $subject = "Unsubscribe"; $text = "The customer with the e-mail address".$mail." wants to UNSUBSCRIBE from the newsletter"; mail('[email protected]',$subject,$text,"From: $mail &…

I am working on a store locator so consumers can find specific stores within a certain distance carrying specific products. Searches are based on zipcode (textbox), proximity (textbox) and product (pulldown menu). There are 250 products; 25 products in 10 different categories. Rather than have the users choose from 250 products I would like users to be able to choose a category, then select from 25 products within that category all within a single webpage A good example of this concept is here: http://www.support.xerox.com/go/prodselect.asp?Xlang=en_US Is anything like this possible with fx.php?

Hi, I'm having trouble getting ther FMFind function to work using FM7. FMNew() works, so the problem does not seem to be with the webserver. Here is my code, maybe there's something I'm overlooking? $fm_server = "fmtest"; $query = new FX($fm_server, 80, "FMPro7"); $query->SetDBUserPass("user", "pass"); $query->SetDBData("Clients.FP7","FormView",'All'); $query->AddDBParam('Client_number',$row["client_number"], 'eq'); $queryUpdate = $query->FMFind(); echo "found:" . $queryUpdate["foundCount"]; foundCount is always zero, even though this client number exists in the database. Any suggestions?

Hello, IWP via FMS9. I have a Student DB with related tables for test scoring input. In the Student table there is a portal to a test table from which I would like records added via the portal. But when I click on the tab which takes me to this particular layout the portal does not become active. Nothing will work to make the portal active. The only way I can make it work is to add a separate checkbox field to click first. After clicking into the checkbox the portal is activated then records can be added. Works fine with using the Filemaker client. Does anyone know why the portal isn't available right from the get go? Safari will be the browser we all use a…

Hi, I'm just in the process of learning to use IWP. I'm stuck with a script that does not want to work in IWP, but produces an error: "FM Web Publishing: Web Scripting Error: 101, File: "Main", Script: "SetUpData", Script Step: "Go to Portal Row" The script navigates to a correct layout, where there is just one portal with existing related records (simple one-to-one relationship) and then it should loop through portal rows and copy a set of related field values into a global field. The script has a following structure: Allow User Abort [Off] Go To Layout ["Layout_5] Set Field [Main::gTemp;""] Commit Records/Requests [No dialog] Go To Portal R…

Hello, I have created a script for my DB so that when a search comes up with no results, a dialog box comes up stating that no results were found. However this script is not compatible with IWP. Anyone have any suggestions for alternate solutions? This is what I have currently: Set Error Capture [On] Perform Find [Restore] If [Get(FoundCount) = 0] .. Show Custom Dialog ["No results were found for your search request"] End If Thanks!

I am using IWP for a database and it allows me to use the find function and change an entry but then it doesn't allow me to use the find again without having to log out then log back in. Help is appreciated.

I have created the forward and backward button for viewing records of more than 25 in IWP.is there any way that I can make the buttons more obvious(flashing or highlighted) when there are more than 25 records to be displayed so that the users will know that there are more to view

I went through the IWP documetation and I couldn't find anything about how to increase the timeout time when using Server Advanced. It only talks about modifying it in Pro. This doesn't seem like it would work using Server.

I try everything to get my database to instant web publish but it won't . What can be done. I get the following message.

Hello, I have a form that have fields from 2 tables... like tbl:people (name, email etc) and tbl:request (request details). It seems IWP doesn't do this on 1 layout... unless I am doing something completely incorrect (which I am kinda hoping it's that). Any advice?

Is there some 'magic' method of viewing a FMP database on a browser but getting a printout format that is the same as a standard printout? I've got a quote system that has many different reports but haven't found a way to print them out and eliminate all the brower extra information.

Hi, Just like to find out if anyone has a solution to my problem below. i have set my field behaviour as follows, This arrangement works fine in the network setting but when it comes to IWP,it just fails. Anyone has a solution? Thanks a lot

Hi - I'm a total beginner when it comes to Filemaker IWP. Basically I have a database I want a very few other people to be able to access and contribute to online. I've read the directions about setting up IWP panel and it seems to make sense, and the file functions okay when I try it out on a browser just using http://localhost. . . . but I have a big conceptual gap about actually hosting it and providing the URL to others. I'm not going to run my own computer 24/7 to host the file, but rather want to put it up on in the same webspace my ISP provides me for web-pages, like this one: http://www.mindspring.com/~asteg/Zampano.html It doesn't seem to be as sim…

I have a registration database created with FMPA9 that is hosted on a shared FM8 Server Advanced box. I need to send an email to the registrant (and copy to the admin) whenever a registration is completed. Since I don't have direct access to the server hosting my file, I cannot use some of the possible solutions I have found in my search. The host does allow mail to be sent from the server via SMTP, just not sure how to utilize that. Any suggestions on how I can send an email from a hosted IWP file. Thanks in advance for your help

Hi - First-time IWP user, so I'm sure I'm doing something lame, but...when I try to turn on IWP, I get the spinning beach ball for about a minute, then a dialog that says, "FileMaker cannot share files over the Web because Instant Web Publishing could not be started." Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks...

Hi, I know the solution is probably staring me in the face, but for the life of me I can't find it. I have IWP running on a FM9 file, and I can see it no problem on the LAN (with an internal IP). I want people from outside to see it though, and be able to give them my external IP. The IWP setup in FM9 only show me my internal IP address. How do I get it set up so that someone on the net can see my file in IWP? (Usually we run solutions on FMS9, and do the custom web publishing bit with PHP-- but this client wants to use IWP right off of their desktop machine, just running FM9)

Hi. Trying to accommodate all 4 browser/OS setups that FM recommends. We have a multiple-column checkbox (necessitated by its field being on a tab, where height is limited and width less so). Works great in FM, and in Mac Safari with IWP. But with Firefox, and even worse with MSIE under Windows, the line spacing seems to expand, and some selections get cut off. FM advises: "If they are getting cropped, enlarge the fields." Our fields are plenty large enough. We just need the browser to wrap to the next column when it runs out of room vertically. Changing line spacing or font or font size does not seem to help. Any ideas? Thank you. DW

I'm attempting to convert a script from our old Filemaker 6 database to Filemaker 9. When I try to insert the date and time from my script however I'm now getting the following error: Code: 500, Error text: Date value does not meet validation entry options. The date is 1/7/2008 and the Time is: 2:59 AM. If I comment out the date I get a time value error as well. If I create a new record and type the field data in manually it works but if I try to insert them via FX.php then I get the error. Anyone know what's wrong and how I can fix this?

In IWP the Script step "Sort" is not compatible when using a dialog box - so you must have a preset sort for it to work. Strangely the status panel offers a sort records WITH A DIALOG, however I want to hide the status panel from all users, but still provide a dialog driven sort option. When I looked further the status panel sort button is executing a java script - top.iwp.openSortDlog(). Does any one know how to execute this script from a button on the IWP layout?

Hello, How can I cause a IWP page to automatically refresh in a browser after a set number of seconds. I have a browser that continually displays a IWP page, and I need it to update every 30 seconds or so automatically. Thanks.

I guess this has been asked before, but I can't find it. How does one establish the tab order when records are viewed in IWP? The web view does not adhere to the tab order in client FMP.

In my application there will be users on an IWP service, however I anticipate they may not return to the web browser for lengthy periods of time. The maximum time setting is 60 minutes before automatic log out. Does any one know how to: 1. Extend the time period, or 2. Trap for the auto log out and re-login automatically. or any other way of getting back to the original layout before it was logged out. I appreciate why auto log out exists, but it will be cool to have a work around.

Hi guys, I'm currently new in this great forum! I have a filemaker "business tracker" running in my Mac and I want to share the database to another users in my network. I decided to activate IWB feature and after login in as a user over the intranet I only see the page "catalog"... How can i share all the entire "business tracker" solution (invoicing, companies, contacts, etc..) ? I've been looking around my filemaker and I couldn't found any way to make it..! I'm running: File Maker Pro 9 Mac OS X 10.4.11 Thanks and Regards, Rafa

Anyone seen issues with IE 6 users trying to access the login page for a database under IWP? For some reason, when IE 6 clients click a database link in our IWP environment IWP simply diplays a blank page (with the IWP HTML header at the top). Refreshing the page will display the IWP database list again and user can click a database link again but the same thing happens. IE 7 and Firefox do not have this problem. They nav right to the login page and can log in just fine. I searched the FM docs and here on FM Forums but I can't find a reference of anyone else having this issue. Thanks all p.s. This is for FileMaker Server Advanced 9 with update v…

I have a typical subsummary on FMP7. It shows fine on the client but I cannot get it to display on the web version. It displays properly on the client only in the Preview mode, but there is no such mode on IWP. Is there a workaround?

Here is an example of a CWP website that implements a slightly modified version of the YUI autocomplete code. You may try with search terms such as genome, botany, or nano. Starting from the third character typed in the search bar, a drop down menu with suggestions appears. You can select a suggestion either with arrow keys or with the mouse, and hit enter or click to copy it to the search bar. The database queried for autocomplete holds about 65'000 suggestions. In the course of constructing this feature I went through three iterations: First I tried a fast and short code that however is not free; then I switched to the prototype and Rico libraries, which are free…

I have a PDF stored in a container field (the whole file is stored, not a reference).

IE was not able to open the internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later". It turns out if I run IWP over http:// rather than https:// it works on all browsers. Why is IE the odd-man out here? IE 7.0.5730.11 is the version I'm using, with XP Home S…

Hello all, Can you determine if the user is currently login in IWP or in client using Filemaker? Is there a script or any way to determine it? Thanks.

I have created a kiosk application using fm 8.5 advanced on window xp. The problems i have is that the window doesnt fill the screen only about 60%. The content is there if i use the scroll bar any help would be appreciated

Hi, I have a piece of code in C# that pushes data from an online form to the FileMaker Pro database. It grabs text from different textboxes. To insert a line break after each line, I use "rn" or Environment.NewLine (both mean the same in Windows Enviroment). This thing was working fine until I think we updated to FileMaker Pro 9. Users who are using version 9 see the data all jumbled up (as if FileMaker is not recognizing the new line character). Users who are using version 8 don't have this problem. They see the data fine. So I am pretty sure its not the code problem. Are there any known issues? Is there a work around. Thanks all...

I saw an older thread related to this topic, but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas regarding FM7+ and web-compatible script steps in general; Modify Last Find in particular. This doesn't work in IWP, even though it's considered to be web compatible. Does web compatible necessarily mean IWP compatible?

Hi. I have a layout available to people (in this case teachers) to submit their data into the database remotely via the intranet and IWP. I then want to print the records from that layout, but not via Safari as it comes up with the date and web address etc.. Do i copy over the database from my server to my FP8.5 client, then print?(which didnt seem to work?) How do i print the updated records that were done from the intranet?

Has anyone noticed that clicking a checkbox in IWP adds a carriage return to the end of the value? Any way to make this stop doing this?

Hi. Just joined this forum. Does anyone have thoughts as to why a routine FIND operation that works well in FM does not with IWP? Entering any of the fields just resets the screen. Oddly, we have several other tables wherein all works perfectly. In all cases we have set up FIND layouts for the tables, with scripts for RESET, CANCEL, and FIND. Scripts are identical except for table-specific entries. Thank you for any suggestions. DW

In an attempt to retrieve the lost functionality fo window size control I managed to dig inside some of the IWP code and inserted a small piece of web scripting to fix the size of the window to be the same as the FMP style. So, I'm wondering if it's possible to execute other bits of script or javascript on an IWP solution. Maybe trigger a print etc. I wish I knew more about web stuff, maybe I can learn from any one's comments regarding these ideas.

I use portals extensively in desktop solutions but I'm having problems getting a button in a portal to properly go to a related record. For example, Companies is related to Contacts via a company-link field with contact records appearing in a scrolling portal. The portal includes a button to go to related record. It does go to one of the related records and it does appear in the correct layout, but it's often not the record in the row that has been clicked. Works flawlessly in dozens of Filemaker desktop solutions but not on the Web. I've tried every imaginable combination of Commit Record. Have checked all scripts for Web compatibility, even tried simplified scripts…

Hi, I did install the FM Server 9 on my computer but when I went to teste the page I have which I use fx.php it is not working, Any idea? Does FM Server 9 works with Fx.php? Any help will be aprreciated. thank you in advance. Php2005

A little background: I have an order form that goes to a confirmation (process) page. If the order post contains a certain checkbox selection, I have a form come up at the top of the confirmation page that allows them to type more info that will go into a portal (or related table). I have some script I am trying to modify to fit into my page that calls for recid, but when I run it I get an error that no recid has been set (an error message I wrote into the script). How does one set the recid? I tried $orders->AddDBParam('-recid', $currentRecord); but that did not work. I have a field in the database for recid ... is that what I am showing, or is -recid built …

I'm noticing a problem with any version of FileMaker after 7: In IWP, when a field is defined to have a scroll bar, it displays very oddly on the web page. It looks like a box within a box, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. Has anyone else had this problem? Am I doing something wrong? Do have to just live without scrollbars on the web? Inquiring minds want to know.

I am publishing a production tracking database using IWP and want thumbnail images to appear on the detail page. I have a calculation with result container to access the images stored on another webserver. The problem is that the url required to access the images is case-sensitive (ie /Volumes/Raid/ is not the same as /volumes/raid/) but the url that Filemaker uses is all lowercase. I have tried Upper() but it makes no difference. Any ideas?

Hi I'm Currently developing a database with Filemaker that will store image, sound and video files which will then be viewed via a browser. I have Filemaker 9 Advanced and Filemaker Server 7 Advanced. The problem that i'm having is I have a form which displays information on a video file such as Name, date and type etc. I also have a Container field that has .MOV file inserted inside. When I Publish the form with Instant Web Publishing and then view the form I cannot view the .MOV file. The Container field is just blank. Is it not possible to view .MOV containers with IWP? I can view the movie fine within the form when I use a Filemaker 8 or 9 client. …

In IWP, there is the magnifying glass (In the built in left margin/navigation area) that acts as the search button.

Can any of you help with the correct script steps please? TIA, Greg

Hi, Maybe I'm an idiot, but I can't seem to figure out how to make Garry Claridge's suggestions for a dynamic value list work. I am a CDML moron, so that may explain it. This is my first try using CDML although I have been developing in Filemaker for years. I have a set of 3 fields for searching a catalog. Main field is Category, which works fine. The second field is ProductType, which uses a value list where the values are pulled from another file through a relationship. The third field is Vendor, which uses a value list that is pulled through a concatenated self-join relationship of Category_ProductType. I tried to take Garry's suggestion for the person with the trave…

A client of mine has the latest IIS on WIndows Server 2003 for Small Business. It has FileMaker Server 9 Advanced installed with IWP enabled. Also, they currently have an internal company website hosted on the same machine. My responsibility begins and ends with the FileMaker Server 9 Advanced software and maintaining the FIleMaker databases. For everything else, they have a 3rd party IT rep who also helps maintain their internal company website. Previously, they had 2 or 3 different server machines running their different server apps. Now, they've decided to put them all together into one. They'd like to get their IWP access running as before. The original FileMaker…

Today Apple released the 10.4.11 update to Tiger. Among other things it also contains Safari 3. The Safari 3 beta did not work with Web Viewer and web sharing, and I presume it didn't work with with IWP in FMSA either So, my question then is, does anyone know how the Safari 3 that's included in 10.4.11 will impact WebViwers and IWP? Thanks

I have been setting up a FM9 Server Advanced... Seemed to be working fine on the localnet. When I try to connect from an outside address, it will connect fine, but has a message no databases are available. Im pretty sure that all the databases are configured to be accessed via IWP, they all show up in the admin console with a check mark. Anyone seen this before? Im thinking it is something to do with apache settings. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi has anyone gotten any of the script triggering plugins (ZippScript, EventScript, FMExample) to work over IWP? I don't even need it so much for script triggering as I need it for dynamic script selection (i.e. if you click a record, it runs a script named in a related record)

hope it will work.. http://fmdotnet.sourceforge.net/

I have a bit of an issue, not sure if anyone else has encountered it. My boss wanted a way to be able to send emails and save the emails related to each contact from the road, and to allow our UK office to send emails from our database. My solution was to create a Table of emails, and set the status to "unsent". Using ScriptFire Plugin, we have a server that runs a script every 5 minutes and looks for unsent emails, if found, it sends them using the EmailIt Plugin (both by Dacons) Its quite an ingenious quick fix, but there's one problem: ScriptFire does not run if there is a dialog box in Filemaker Open (such as communication lost with host server). T…

Once I generate a list view of search results using fx.php, does anyonw know if it is possible to edit multiple records at one time using the search results page.

I have a database where I use conditional value list in a search layout (specify county and the municipal filed gets a list of municipals in the county you specified.)

Is it possible to get conditional value list to function without making an update button on the webpage? :)

Hi, I have been troubleshooting for a while and thought there might be someone out there that could help... I have a database that I have been using instant web publishing on. All of a sudden I get a message (while starting up FM) that web publishing can not start. The only thing I can think of is to change port number, from 80 to 591. But when I do so FileMaker crashes! Is there anyone who have had this experience and know if it is possible to solve it somehow? I am using the FM Pro Advanced 8.5 for XP Appreciate any help!

Hello, I developed a database to received simple travel requests... I went to put it on the fmsa 8 and access it via the web (IWP is on) and it won't allow me to create new records as Admin - full access Any clue why? I can add new records via Fm client opening the remote database off the server.... On another database that is iwp- I can add new records... Any assistance would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

I have a fairly large database and after doing some updates and entering browse mode, the custom serial number we create is now duplicated across several records. The numbers were right previously, set to be unique in validation, and the only changes made were for to add a script for a search, report and print. Has anyone seen this? I am thinking I either need to go to a previous backup and redo the changes I made, or pull the database from the server and do a repair? Any thoughts? Thank you!

I have a question/answer database published on the web. Is there an easy way (or any way) to view a hit count for each individual record? I'd like to see which records are being viewed the most by my end users via the web. The reporting feature in FileMaker 8 Advanced Server seems pretty lame. Am I missing something?

I am hosting a database accessible via IWP. We are experiencing an issue where when a search is performed, only 10 records are shown in the list when the view can show 25. If I then go to a detail page for one of the records, then click "Next Record" I get a record much further down the list, not the next record shown in the list. If I then change the layout to the list view, it takes me to the last page of the results. This is painful as it does not keep things as sorted, and there are enough clicks just to edit a record via IWP. Any thoughts?

I would like to be able to access my database remotely. This database makes considerable use of the colored fill patterns that emanate from conditional formatting. Conditional formatting does not appear to work with Instant Web Publishing. Can anybody tell me what to expect if I were to have this database hosted on somebody's web server? Would the colored fill patterns be visible on a web based database? Thanks for any guidance here, Jarvis

Using IWP, is there any way to hide the log off button for guest access? We need the status bar, but no log off button.

I am a novice in terms of web publishing and FM. I have a database in which I created privilege sets with custom securities. One being that the user must change password every 30 days, however on the web interface after 30 days it locks the user out with "password is expired". I have tried to change the privilege options but nothing has solved this, do I need to create a script or what? Thanks.

I have FMSA running on Windows 2003 server with IIS. Everything on the database side runs fine in IWP...only thing is on my customised home page (iwp_home.html) the graphics do not display in the Browser. Text is fine. I have tried relative and absolute references for the jpg files , but neither work. I have checked the html source.. references seem ok. Do the images need to be stored anywhere in particular?.. am i missing something?

Hi. I've searched all over for this issue, but I can not find anybody talking about this: When moving to FMSA 8.0 (even in v4), browsing my IWP solution with Internet Explorer 6 on a PC gives a white margin on top of approx. 20 px. (Win98 and 2000 - have not testet XP yet because PCs are rare in my inviroment) This was not the case in FMSA 7, and is not in any other browsers. I'm running the FMSA on a Mac OSX server 10.4.7 A friend told me to try adding "body {margin-top:0px;}" in the iwp.css file, but that did not help. The two images is to see the difference between IE 6 on a PC, and what it is suppose to look like. Anybody else with this experie…

Using a FileMaker database with a web front end driven by Lasso 8.5, I have an input form (update) with returns a blank character (spacebar) as this:   yes, this:   I do not know why this is happening and would be pleased if I can get some feedback from the list on how to correct this. Cheers Greg

I have a table with a large number of records (research participants). Based on their responses to a set of screening questionnaires, they are eligible for 0-5 additional research studies. The research studies are in a related table("studies") containing the name of each study and the eligibility criteria. For each subject in the big table, there are 5 variables, eligible1...eligible5, that are set to either 1 or 0 by a script that evaluates whether the subject has qualified for each one of the 5 studies. Below is the code that inserts a portal into my php page. As written, it displays all 5 studies. I want it to display only the studies for which the participant i…

Anyone had experience trying to get IWP to display or even have access to related data via scripts from external file references? I can build a portal or reference related data from related data from tables within the same file but if the relationship is built on an external file then the relationship fails and no data is displayed or returned. This appears to be the case with FMS8 and FMS9 v02. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing somethign wrong or missing something simple.

I have a solution that I want to restrict access to certain information if someone outside our network is accessing the file. Is there a way to trap the IP address they are using. I am using the Get(SystemIPAddress) function. This works fine with using Filemaker directly, but when using IWP it will only show the IP address of the host server. Is there a way to get this work show the actual IP address in IWP.

I'm sharing about 5 clients off of a host. Host was originally FMPro 7 and now it is FMServer 8. The following same problem existed and still exists. It happens with some of the global fields. I will change the field to another value and the next day or so, the value will mysteriously return to its original value. This is happening on several fields (possibly all, but I am only having to change a few global fields). I have tried making everyone close out Filemaker and myself only making the change and everyone else re-logging back in, but the next day or so, it still happens. Any ideas anyone?

I am serving a database via Instant Web Publishing (Server 8 Advanced), when viewed from an internet browser the first page of my database has a 1/2 inch white gap/space at the top (between bottom of IE address bar and top of my database). This gap/space is not present in my database (when opened via filemaker pro the gap is not there, both in browse and layout views). Only happens through IWP and only on the first page (all other layouts are fine and have no gap). After some problem solving i have found this is not just happening on my database but also happens on the FMServer_Sample database. Has anyone else ever noticed this or know a solution to this …

Hi Guys, I've just been given a nice task of developing some methodolgy of performing a 'trigger' in a FMro 8 db when data is sent to a field via IWP!! So basically...the IWP user would populate a field in the db with 'on' and submit this. I would then need a 'trigger' at the server/client side to see that the field has the word 'on' in it and then perform the 'Send Mail' operation. The reason for the trigger is that the 'Send Mail' opertaion is not useable with IWP. Anyone got any ideas!! Thanks in advance.

How do I test in a script if a user is using FileMaker or an IWP client? I am doing this so I can adjust the script to use only web compatible steps with those connected via IWP.

:) I'm using FX.php with FM7. I'm trying to set up a combination and/or Find and I can't come up with coding that works. These are my parameters: $search_resource->AddDBParam('Keywords',$Keywords); $search_resource->AddDBParam('Title',$Title); $search_resource->AddDBParam('Located',"CALS"); $search_resource->AddDBParam('Located',"CCS"); I want to find all records that have the entered Keywords and Title, AND that are located either in CALS or in CCS. (The user can choose to search for only CCS, only CALS, or both. Any ideas how I can accomplish this? Thanks!

We're trying to access a FM7 database via IWP - database is on a MacG4 running FM7ServerAdv (with update v4). We're having problems seemingly associated with web browsers. I can access the database successfully on OS-X Macs using Safari or IE 5.2, and am able to click into the various fields to enter data. However, when trying to access via a Mac using Firefox, or on a Windows XP box using IE6, I can log in to the database, but am unable to click into the various fields to enter data. Would appreciate any suggestions as to what the problem is and a solution - thanks

Hi there, I've web enabled my database using the client FM 8.0. When I go to click in any of the fields on one of my layouts (i.e. edit mode) it takes around 15 seconds to be able to start entering data. I'm fairly certain this will drive our sales staff crazy. Could anyone give me a hint as to what could be causing the slowness? I have spent quite a number of hours trying to find a solution on the forum, but to no avail. As some extra info ... the layout that this is happening to is based on one main table called particpants, and then a set of tabs that holds portals showing various other related tables to do with marketing, courses etc. I do remember readi…

Hi, I have a registration online form which was working fine. The online registration form theses 2 days has showing the wrong record. Any idea why the page is not displaying the correct information in the web. Thank you!

Hello, I just started with IWP on FM 8.5 but I am stucked over the simple(?) process how to identify a certain user when logged in from the web? The goal is to have user specific layouts for different entry forms. The function Get(Username) and Get(AccountName) do only replicate the status of the FM database on the server. Even the trick described in the Manual "Use Get(ApplicationVersion)" never reveals whether a user accesses from the Web or directly. Is there no option to identify the current web user? Thanks, Emilia

Tis the question that has been plaguing our organization for sometime now. We provide a vertical solution, StudioSuite , for recording studios and post-production facilities. Currently we have over 1200 facilities, for a total of approximately 3500 users within 40 countries. Now we must do the inevitable.....GO ONLINE!! StudioSuite has roughly 1000 scripts and 600 layouts within 7 files. IWP seems okay but I'm concern about scalability and limitations. CWP seems great but then one must become well verse in other technologies such as Javascript, html, css, and php. In trying to convince my boss on which technology- IWP or CWP, to use I really couldn't provide …
