If I perform a search using the -RecID tag the FMP-IncludeField works: http://xx.xx.xx.xx/FMPro?-db=Answers.fp5&-Lay=Web&-format=surveystep1.html&-Op=eq&-Error=surveyerror.html&-RecID=34934&-find... Web page includes FMP-IncludeField that pulls the the contents of a field [fmp-include:surveystep1D3.txt]. This displays the correct .txt file. But if I replace -RecID with a specific field, for example, one called "CurrentID," FMP-IncludeField does not work properly: http://xx.xx.xx.xx/FMPro?-db=Answers.fp5&-Lay=Web&-format=surveystep1.html&-Op=eq&-Error=surveyerror.html&CurrentID=32978&-find The FMP-Inc…

We have FM Unlimited 5 as a web server hosting files from our FM server. One of the html files is a form which our sales force uses to submit requests. When a request is submitted we have some code that changes the status of a field from "incomplete" to "completed". The code looks like this... " <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME=DesignRequest::requeststatus Value="Completed">" All is well.... until.... We upgraded the FM Unlimited server to OS X(10.2.8) and FM unlimited 6.0v4. Now when the submit button is selected we get an error that states...

Here is the code for using PHP/CDML to edit multiple records on one page. This is the Format file which presents the data for editing. This example is using Checkboxes {yes,no} for each record: <body>Hello World<br> <form action="http://localhost/fmmultied.php" method="POST"> [FMP-Record] [FMP-IF: yes_no .eq. Yes] Yes<input type="checkbox" name="yes_no[]" value="[FMP-CurrentRecID]" checked> [FMP-Else] Yes<input type="checkbox" name="yes_no[]" value="[FMP-CurrentRecID]"> [/FMP-If] <input type="hidden" name="rec_id[]" value="[FMP-CurrentRecID]"><br> [/FMP-Record] <input type="submit" value="Edit"> </fo…

I am posting text area input to a database. The posted text ends up with unwanted return characters in it in the database, despite the fact that the text is entered in the text area input without return characters. A Regex expression substituting out all possible returns, or end-of-field whitespace, from the input text (prior to database posting) does not seem to solve the problem. The final database text has return characters in it. Only for text area boxes, however. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have a button on my Home layout that executes the Re-Login script step. For Windows users, a dialog appears inviting the user to enter a new Account Name and Password. Unfortunately, for Instant Web Publishing users, nothing happens. Supposedly this script step is web-compatible. How can I force the web user to re-login?

I have several value lists that use values from fields. In these cases, I have chosen to also display values from a second field. I add these value list fields on layouts using pop-up lists or radio button sets and they work very well. When I access these forms using IWP, the second field does not appear. How can I overcome this problem?

(Cross-posted from Value Lists forum) Hi, It appears that when using IWP, the option to have a pop-up menu include the "other" option (whereby one can enter something that is not on the list) doesn't work. The line in the menu that has "other" (in FM) is present but blank in the web version, and if you select it, all that happens is that the field data is set to empty. I would expect a pop-up window to appear as in FM. Using a pop-up list, rather than menu, which in FM allows you to type directly in the field, also doesn't work because on the web it also behaves as a menu. Is this a known limitation of IWP? does anyone know of a workaround? Gareth

Is there a minimum version of PHP that is needed in order for FX to run? I have a test server running PHP v 4.3.1 with Apache, and things work great here. However, when I transfer the files to a machine running PHP v 4.1, I have trouble. FX produces error messages. I have compared the phpinfo().php, and there are certainly differences: curl is not enabled, and there appear to be differences with the $_SERVER variables. If it is not a matter of version, is there a good list of items which need to be configured in PHP? Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.

I have an FMPro database that is being served from FMServer. I am also using IWP from a workstation to publish the database. The problem is that if I go to view the database over the web the views are not showing the table view I select. I enter a value to search in the search form. I click on Start Search. The search returns the values in the Search view as a table and not in the Table view. Is there a way to change this behavior?

Hi, Using CDML on the URI to return XML, I would like to know if it is possible within CDML to do a find and sort the results by a Value List rather than a normal sort field (-sortfield). This is available in the FileMaker client of course but I cannot find out if it is available as part of CDML. Otherwise, will I have to move the VL out into its own table and add a sort order numeric field to this new table (file)? Any ideas? Thanks, Joseppi.

I am trying to do a search and display records that have a certain field empty. Here is my code, when I search, I get the error code that says no records match. $DataQuery->AddDBParam('assignDate', '', 'eq'); As you can see I am looking at assignDate and checking to see if it is equal to nothing.

I'm new to CDML and would like to know the CDML code snippets that allow multiple 'OR' searches for the same field. eg. For a field "Car Manufacturer", I would like to enter search values that returns records containing either 'Honda' or 'Volvo'. What are options for implementing this ? Would it mandate having two HTML text input fields that refer the same "Car Manufacturer" field. Sorry if I've missed any solutions in the CDML reference or earlier posts on this forum. Thanks very much in advance

hi, i'm very new to Mac OS as well as FileMaker Pro. I was assigned the task of building a web application using FileMaker Pro. I'm not sure if the problem that i faced is a common problem. I realised that the text and shapes that i placed inside the layout form looks different (more of position of the shapes) when viewed from a web browser even though it looks perfectly all right on FileMaker Pro. Is it a problem with browser? I'm using IE: Mac. Is there any way to correct this problem?

HI Everyone... I'm converting my CDML web templates and using PHP. I ran into a road block here. Now if any of you read my post a loooong time ago using CDML & JavaScript to process multiple records, you will know that we covered lots of things and got many results. I'm not sure how to process multiple records using FX.PHP. I though about KEEPING the CDML and just using PHP for authentication and carying states accross each page. I don't think that will work. Does anyone have any suggestions for doing this? Thanks!

I have been pouring through several books (since I am going to have to abandon CDML) and as usual I feel like I'm beating my head against a wall (maybe there is some truth to the old adage about teaching an old dog new tricks). Anyway - one of the books I bought was the "Advanced Filemaker Pro 6 Web Development" by Bob Bowers and Steve Lane. I have tried working through Section 8 (hmmm - in the military isn't that the equivelant of crazy?) of this book which covers using PHP & FX. I cannot get the examples to work either from the downloadable files or from actually typing in the code myself and unfortunately, the code is very poorly commented and explained s…

This may be an easy fix, I'm sure someone's encountered it before, but my search on this site produced nothing... I have a field that has check boxes with a value list. When I display this field on the web, it makes returns after each value of the checklist. Normally this would be fine, but it's being used in a document.write, which is freaking out because of the line break. Is there any way (perhaps along the lines of the 'raw' attribute), that I can have this data displayed without line breaks?

I am running FX.php on a linux apache server and interfacing with a Filmaker 6 DB on Mac OS 9. Every now and again I receive the following error: XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 3 It happens when I am searching and returning a result set. I looked through the records in Filemaker that would be returned in th eresult set and I see nothing wrong with them. I delete them one by one (small set) until the error goes away. The record that is last to be deleted before the error goes away doesn't appear to have any problems with it. There are no funky characters or anything like that. Has anyone seen this error before and if so, what causes it?

I need some simple instructions on the use of tokens. I have purchased several books on FMP web development and all just gloss over the subject of tokens or perhaps I am just being particularly dense. I feel really stupid not being able to do this - it just shoudn't be that difficult but I am beating my head into a wall. I do not understand or cannot generalize the syntax to my problem. Can someone please break it down for me - I want to do 3 things. 1) Set token on 1 page (users name from where they log in) 2) Display that token on 2nd page (Not from the db but from the token - just as a sanity check that it was actually set correctly.) 3) Use same to…

Some people say it can be fixed with a portal, though some reports tell me there are locking problems on the first record when using portals. Who can make a working IWP sample with a portal that shows more than 5 records? it should have a list and detail view, clicking on a record in list view jumps to detail view.

I have been rolling up my sleeves with FX and FMP6 and have made some good headway. I am ready to webify. However, I wonder how FX works with FX7. Using FX with v6, there is a requirement to name a server, a port, and a file for each query. However, with v7, our former many-file systems might be rolled over into a single file. So the questions are: Is FX v7-ready, and if so, how does one reference a specific table? Thanks for any feedback you can provide? DSW

My problem may be more about a server than about CDML but... My custom webpages using CDML and FMKR 6 are working when I use my own machine as a local host. In the process of moving the databases and html pages to an Apache webserver on a Mac, the coding is not, for lack of a better term, 'finding' the database. The databases are loaded in the web folder in the FMK apps folder and are open. What's not making sense to me is why it will work using my local IP address, but when I move it to another environment with the same set-up, its not. Instant web-publishing is enabled...when I used the default homepage available through IWP, the databases are available…

I have recently started working with PHP and FX.php to extract data from FileMaker. I have been looking at the sample files that come with FX and they seem to exhibit a strange search behavior. The FMP file is set up as a list of books with author, title etc. The sample index page has a small search form with the author and title fields available for search. If I put either a lowercase or uppercase b In the author field the one record that contains a b in the author field is returned. However when I put a k in the title field the record with FileMaker in the title does not come up, what does come up though are some records I added with random characters in the title…

We are having a problem with Lasso 6. We have a web site where our students enrol on-line (our database is hosted via unlimited on our web server). It worked fine last semester but this morning when students try to log on they get lasso error no. -9951. This is a syntax error according to the blueworld database but our developer (who used to work here full time but has since moved interstate) says that it isn't. It's odd because the files haven't been changed and they WERE working yesterday. Our server crashed this morning so we restored the files from back up just in case they had been corrupted.

I have a multi file solution in FMP6, works fine. I converted it to 7. and turned on IWP to give it a go. Most of the objects do not show up in my browser! Tried Safari and Explorer. In addition, many (most) of the buttons on the layout that I can see (in safari) don't work, although they work fine using FMP7 client (the scripts are just single step, go to layout). I tried creating a new layout, and still many fields and objects don't show up. Is there some magic incantation, or buton to push t…

Take a look at the FX class, written by Chris Hansen and available freely at his website, www.iviking.org. The FX class is an excellent tool which allows you to easily communicate with FileMaker from within your PHP code. The FX class allows you to send commands to FileMaker, and the FX class structures FileMaker's results as an object which you can easily manipulate. Also, the FX class is one of the faster methods for communicating with FileMaker, as it uses HTTP/XML (which FileMaker handles very efficiently) as opposed to ODBC (which FileMaker handles extremely slowly). The FX download from Chris Hansen's site includes excellent documentation and example…

IE on the Mac seems to work the best as far as Macs go, but a few things, including the most important in the solution, does not work.

I am only using web compatible scripts, and as i said, everything works fine through IE on a PC. I've tried both OS 9 and OS X. MAC IE and Safari are both supposed to be compatible IWP. What is happening is that some of the buttons that have scripts attached to them are not clickable, as if they are not buttons at all. So, …

Hey everyone, I'm using CDML tokens for the first time. An initial page has the employee entering the date, and selecting an href link of their name. That link has an onClick event that uses JavaScript to go to the following link: http://127.0.0.1:591/FMPro?-DB=gTime.fp5&-Format=timeEnter.html&-Token.2=5&Token.1=04/14/2004&-View The format file is where they enter the details of their timesheet. There are fields in the format file like this: <input type="text" name="date" value=[FMP-CurrentToken: 1] /> <input type="text" name="staffId" value=[FMP-CurrentToken: 2] /> Token.2 goes to staffId all okay, but Token.1 only se…

Blah... third IWP post in a week... CWP is so much easier to troubleshoot... but dang it, i'm no good at anything other than basic CDML... anyway: Can anyone confirm that there are problems running IWP using FM7 in a framed site? I was able to log in correctly, but my first button on the screen that i needed to work didn't work. Take it out of frames and call the IP address directly... everything works... what a beating... I'll try to get an example up over the next day or two. I can't give any access to the current one that I'm having this issue on because it's a live DB. Anyway... until then... anyone else experience this? FileMaker Version: 7 Plat…

Hello everyone, I have a CDML solution that will display a page for a order. Each order has one or more parts that have been ordered and all are listed on this page. If any of the parts have been shipped, the tracking information is displayed, formated like this: Date.............TrackingNumber...............PartNumber All tracking info is listed together at the top of the page, each part on it's own line. If multiple parts from the same order are shipped in the same package, all parts will have the same tracking/date so I would like to only display the tracking/date once per package. So instead of this: 4/1/04.............12345...............5…

I've read several threads about setting cookies with FM / CDML. It seems that nobody trusts FM to do that task and always suggests using javascript to do it. Whats is the problem with using [FMP-SetCookie]? I've made some code that sets the cookie from FM using [FMP-SetCookie] and it seems to be working fine. I wanted to use javascript, but my problem with javascript is that when I set the cookie with a value from CDML [FMP-Field: blabla] inside the javascript, FileMaker doesn't replace the value, using the value from the field "blabla" - javascript simply sets the cookie value to: [FMP-FIeld: blabla]! What am I doing wrong? And why shouldn't I use [FMP-Set…

I got an answer about this in the FMP7 area of the forum. Has anyone else heard this and can confirm? Apparently CDML is gone in favor of XML/XSLT server side translations when FMS Advance comes out? I have an email in to Blueworld to see if they plan on supporting FMP7 with Lasso. Has anyone heard anything on this? Thanks! Cael. Version: v7.x Platform: Mac OS X Panther

I've been developing FM db's on and off for the last ten years - the last two years a lot. So I've done my share of sophisticated scripting, relations etc. I feel like I know a lot about FM, but here's my problem: I am developing a solution for an image-agent company (cumstomers are supposed to search and buy images on his website). Searching, sorting, ordering, log-in etc. is supposed to be performed by the FM (5.0 on MacOS9) via CDML. Links to downloads of the images/files bought on the website (placed on another server with a different ip) are delivered by the DB - including a Javascriptet cookie read by PHP on the download-server. This is because the files t…

Dear all: I am the new member here, and a new user to FileMaker =) I have just finished an inventory database, and when I go web-publishing, everything seems file except: I got the "Unknown error number 102" when I tried to click "submit" to creat new record or edit record... I do not seem to find the problmes because I did it the same with my another database. I am suspecting that with 3 layouts on my inventory database, it is stopping me from creating records? But that does not make much sense though... I do not think I have field missing either; what are the other possibilities? In addition, when I switch to the table view, how do I move the fields aroun…

I have a table with 7 columns that is displayed based on a search of field1. The search can return multiple values. In each of the columns I want to display items in a certain category (1-7) I also want to repeat for each value that was found in that category. e.g. apple | peas | pork orange | corn | beef pear | asparagus | chicken So here is the markup I tried applying to a cell in the table/form: [FMP-if: field: category .eq. fruit]& [FMP-record] [FMP-field: item, HTML] [/FMP-record] [/FMP-IF] …

I have a form in which an account number is entered at a POS terminal, after which a value list of valid user IDs associated with the account will appear in a popup list. I also have the value list set to show another value (a calc field with first and last name). This works fine in FM, but only the IDs show up when IWP is used. I am assuming this is a normal limitation of IWP.... if so, does anyone have an idea for a workaround to this problem so that users do not have to know their user ID# ?

Hello everyone, I just wanted to test the new IWP capabilities of FMDev 7, so I went ahead and converted an FP5 solution and activated IWP on the converted files. Everything works fine, however, I can't seem to replicate the navigation in the file system through my browser (IEv6.028 on Win2000). I'm using only Web-compatible script steps, but when I click on a button in my main file, it will not take me to any of the other DBs layouts in my browser. What my scripts are doing is basically this: Upon clicking on one of the buttons, I call a script in the target file that brings up that DB's main layout and selects the window. It works fine on the client…

Hey kids, FMServer5.0 on Win2000 FMU5.0 on NT There's some little trick to this, and I can't remember it for the life of me. I set up IWP on the FMU box, opened the file (by way of FMS), and then did the Web companion settings for the file in File Sharing. I had to shut down FMU, and FMS to poke at the files again. When I restarted everything, I had to reset the file settings for IWP. How do I get it to remember how to share the file? Thanks, Paul

Hi, I am trying to combine PHP (using FX class) and CDML to web enable my Filemaker database. The files are hosted on Macintosh. If I use only PHP and put all the files in Library/WebServer folder, I can connect to database and add/delete/edit record - no problem. When I am trying to use CDML and for that reason put all my files in Applications/FileMaker Pro 6.0/Web folder - it gives me an error that my proceed.php file cannot be found even though I am poiting to its location in the html files which are located in the FIlemaker/Web folder: <?php include_once("../../../Library/WebServer/Documents/proceed.php"); ?> If I put everything in Library/WebS…

Hello, I've been using FM for years but this is my first effort with the web companion. Is it normal for web companion to override the scripts entered prior to publishing? Example would be that none of the "find" scripts that I've entered will work. The only scripts that function are those provided through the web companion. By the way, can these be disabled?

I don't know if this is in the right forum or if it is even possible with FM but here it goes. I know there is the Instant Web Publishing feature of FM to host your databases online for others but, what if I just want to take my "List Layout" (which displays some info about all my records) and have an HTML file made that I can put up on my web server? Example: Say my FM database is a list of CD's I have. My List Layout shows the CD Art, Title, Year, etc etc, with each row being one record. Can FM take that list and turn it into an HTML file for my website? I know I can do PDF's of the different layouts / screens but what about HTML? Thanks Version: D…

I used FM7 to make a simple solution for a receptionist to check employees in and out of the building. It was really just an experiment to see if I could figure out the Web Publishing for several much larger solutions. Yes - I did make sure that the scipts were all web compatible. I hadn't used Instant Web publishing before. Here's my woes: 1. On the web, in list view, when you simply cick on a record, it immediately moves to the top of the list, blocking all those above it. 2. Frequently, in list format, a column of fields will misalign vertically and be far above the actual record it pertains to. 3. I thought "New Window"script would o…

Okay, let's try this from another angle and see if I can get it. Could someone please explain the -recid with [FMP-CurrentRecID]? I have a very long form that it is quite likely individuals will not complete at one sitting. Forget getting into the form to create a record for now, let's concentrate on getting BACK into the record. Let's look at the database itself first. I created a text field called CaseNo. In "Options", under "Auto-Enter" I defined it as a Serial Number, set the originating number and have it increase in increments of 1, and checked "Prohibit modification of value". Under "Validation" the following boxes are checked: "Not Empty", "Unique"…

I have some fp5 files hosted on a FMServer and then served up as web pages using FMPU and IWP. These files have access privileges that only let users view and edit their own records (Teacher = "Jane Doe" for example). If Jane Doe uses FM Pro to open the file, the initial record is not hers so she gets "No Access" (which bit me at first) but upon browsing more, I find that it works as suggested and that Jane Doe can view her records, just nobody elses. However, if Jane Doe browses to the webified version of the file and logs in, instead of that No Access message she gets kicked back out to the index list page. Further clicking of the file gives "Database Not Open: …
