I assume for security reasons the form that is used for the login to an IWP database (see screenshot) is set to not allow browsers to remember the username and password. Is it possible to allow the username and password to be remembered? Thanks Duncan

Hi Guys, I'm more of a CWP fan, but we also use IWP internally because of the raw speed of development and access. I have two questions which hopefully someone can answer? 1)Does anyone know how easy it is to customise the IWP homepage - would love to see some samples or a ahow to guide to see what is possible? I've got a particular design in mind, to match up with out corporate website but not sure whether its is feasible. 2)We've got several databases which are IWP enabled, I have one in particular called Resources which the users log in and out of. I've linked to this database externally, which is exactly what I want as user logs in and gets the data fo…

In my IWP app I need to trap the "Bad Request" and "Exceeded maximum users" messages. The "Bad Request" will almost certainly occur as I have a very short idle duration (< 5mins), and Exceeded maximum users" will occur as I'm using FMPro which is limited to 5 web users (no money to upgrade FMS). Basically the IWP app collects time sheet data from in-house workers using web browsers on desktops, androids, iPhone and iPad. In order to optimise performance for the web users the IWP app is running an OnTimer that will only deliver data to the main server (FMS) when there no web users connected - accordingly the web users have a short idle period so that I can max…

Hi, I need people to be able to open procedures that are located on network drive through IWP with OpenURL Example URL: file://d:\procedures\01.pdf Now in IWP a http:// prefix is automatically added when the user clicks, so they simply cannot open the file. I searched the forum and found that some user had a solution (http://fmforums.com/forum/topic/32433-open-url-in-iwp/) but the topic old and the attachment is lost. Is there anyone that knows how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Hello Everybody, I am new to Working with Filemaker with PHP. My query is "Is it possible to add image/document file from webpage (that will be generated by PHP Coding) to filemaker database container field?" If yes then please explain me with detail. Lots of Thanks, :mellow:

Can anyone help? I am publishing layouts using IWP from FM Server 11 Advanced. Some fields have text with bold and italic styles added by FM clients (using FM 10 and 11) - these change to plain text if edited over the web!!! I need to preserve this styling as I'm using this at a later stage to generate XML tags. I'm having to resort to getting my users to key in tags <b>...</b> and <i>...</i> and <bi>...</bi> around sections or text. The problem I need help on is: 1) Convert existing styled text to something useful over the web e.g. <b>bold</b> tags would work 2) Convert web text with tags back to styled te…

I'm using an auto-enter calculation (replaces existing value) to create an audit trail of particular fields. It's a fairly common script I believe (originally by a company called Database Pros). My version looks like this: Case( PatternCount("Request Approval Status"; Get(ActiveFieldName)); //Enter the fields you want to track GetAsText(Get(CurrentDate)) & " | " & GetAsText(Get(CurrentTime)) & " | " & If ( Commissioning Party::_gAccount = "" ; Get(AccountName) ; Accounts::_gAccount ) & " | " & Get(ActiveFieldName) & " = " & Case(Get(ActiveFieldName) = "Request Approval Status"; Request Approval Status; ) &…

I'm a total noob, so please forgive the question if it is inappropriate or unintelligible. I've created a php site with fm php site assistant. It has a single container field. I would like to be able to populate the field with an image captured from the iPhone or iPad camera like I'm able to do in Filemaker Go, but it isn't working that way. I would like to be able to do this with an Android smartphone camera as well which is the reason for trying to do the database in php rather than use FM Go. Is there some command to prompt the container field entry of a photo from the camera? Thanks for any help!

Hi, Im trying to set up IWP on my Windows 2008 server, using FMSA 11. I can get this to work when I host the file from Filemaker Pro, however I'm confused about what I need to do when hosting from the FMSA console. I have the server configured correctly I believe. Im using the IIS web publishing engine and have the IWP turned on in the Admin console. The file has the check marks next to it in the console indicating that the access is configured correctly in the file itself. I also cannot get the FM_Sample file to display either. When I run the test I receive the following error on the test page... "HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found". Any help would be greatly appreci…

I'm using filemaker Pro 11 Advanced and Windows 7. I was able to use a static IP and publish the database on line. However, I would have to turn off the windows firewall all together in order to access the database. I need to go to Control Panel > Windows Firewall, and turn off the public network firewall. Would any experienced user let me know if this is that case? It's hard to believe that is the case. I tried to use Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Allow a program or feature through Windows firewall. I also went to advanced setting of Windows Firewall to set up inbound rules to allow external access. It didn't work. Would appreciate any e…

I cannot get my router to seemingly properly forward IWP so that I can view it outside of the network. I had it set up properly on our Verizon DSL, but recently switched to TWC cable with a Static IP. Now, with Verizon, I had to set up the router specifically for the static ip (primary/secondary DNS servers, etc). However, TWC has continually told me that, for whatever crazy reason, none of that needs to be done on my end and that they "take care of all of it on their end". So, my problem then is this (assuming TWC is telling the truth): - I cannot access IWP outside of our LAN. I have the host computer with FM set up on it's own internal static IP, and pu…

Hello, Is it possible to be connected to two different IWP databases via different tabs in a browser? I can open each database individually in its own browser tab, but when accessing the first database and then moving to the second, the second throws a "record not found" error and refreshes the window with the first database. Thanks

I have been using IWP for a long time and in most situations it is very convenient. However, I do not understand why it is so difficult for FileMaker to implement an IWP that uses at least some AJAX technologies. For example, not reloading the whole page (All layout) every time a modification is submitted, or some way to notify the user the database has been changed by another user. Does anyone know if it is possible to see FM to create a better IWP or is it impossible? Is this the best they can do? (I have not seen many real differences in IWP for a very long time and it really feels old)

We just upgraded from FileMaker Server 9 to FileMaker Server 11 and I ran PHP Site Assistant for the first time on this new server to create an input form for one of our databases. I've got the PHP Site Assistant pages up and running on our server and it works fine except for one problem. All of the field name labels and value list labels are blank - completely empty. So the fields are showing up and work fine, but there is no text saying which field is which or which checkbox is which. I've attached a screenshot in case that helps. Any idea of what I can do to pull in all the labels? I set up quite a few PHP Site Assistant forms with FileMaker Server 9 an…

I would like to know if it is possible to use SSL encryption to access a database online (database available online through IWP) WITHOUT having FileMaker Server installed. I have FileMaker 11 Pro installed. If it is, could you tell me how?

I have a simple vehicle database that contains new, used, demo, etc.... I can use an 'onlayoutload' script to display the results correctly in the DB but the web site (PHP) only generates the entire list. Basically I want to be able to either press a link that loads a page with all the new vehicles listed, or used, etc... I have been able to create and modify the PHP but am not familiar at all on writing it from scratch. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Hi from the UK, ladies and gents. I wonder if anyone can point me towards some good advice please. What I want to do (and I'm a long way from technical, so please excuse any bungled jargon) is to display a filemaker database in a space (frame?) on my website. It must be viewable, but must not be modifiable, by the general public. The content is a directory of businesses offering a variety of services. I want to host the content on a server in my business, and have the content modifiable by me 24/7, and serve the files to the readers in a seamless manner on the directory part of my website. Any advice, direction or user guides you can provide is very, v…

The left menu on my website is dynamic and it is based off a recordset from my filemaker database. My left menu is included on every page of my website and I do not want the find of the recordset to occur every time a user browses to a different page. I am looking for a way to store the results in a session so that it only has to look for them once per session. The code that creates my leftbar menu looks like this: <?php // FMStudio v1.0 - do not remove comment, needed for DreamWeaver support ?> <?php $categories_find = $Rackspace->newFindCommand('vehiclesearchsmall'); $categories_findCriterions = array('VehicleCategory'=>'=='.$_SESSION['make'],…

I know someone else has brought this up but there hasn't been any resolve yet. I want to use IWP in a frame on a website so it will be seamless with the rest of the website. When I put it in an iframe, however, it opens goes to the db login and then kicks me right out. I have it hosted using a hosting service so when you leave the database it says "thank you for visiting". This is what it jumps to without even letting you login. Any suggestions? Here's my html: <iframe src="http://hostedfile.com/file" height="800" width="800" scrolling="yes" frameborder="0"

I am trying to use IWP with a DB for the first time. I have a decent amount of experience with Filemaker Pro, zero experience with IWP, so I'm going to describe this in extreme detail. Using FMP9.0v3. I have a database I want to publish online, logged in with admin privileges to a computer on a LAN. When I open FMP (before I even open an individual database) I get error message "Filemaker cannot share files because another user is already sharing files using Filemkaer Pro on this computer". I click that away, open the file I want to share and it opens without problems. When I go to File-> Sharing -> Filemaker Network and turn network sharing on then press …

We are running Filemaker Server Advanced 11 and Filemaker Pro 10. Our database is hosted internally and works fine when accessing it via Filemaker network sharing. However when we access the database via Instant Web Publishing we cannot get the cursor to enter some of the fields. Other fields can be entered without and an issue. It doesn't seem to be a permissions issue as I can't get access to the field even as administrator. Any help would be appreciated.

In my Site Assistant generated "Add Record" and "Find Record" pages I have some radio button fields with two options, Yes and No. The database includes a value list called "YesNo". I defaulted these radio buttons on the database by auto-entering "No" or "Yes" but would also like to default them for people using the Web site. A radio button field on the Add Record page that I want to default to No is called "Disclaimer". Here is the PHP. Can someone tell me how to mark "No" as selected when it comes from a value list? <td class="field_data"><?php getInputChoices("radio", layout->getValueList('YesNo', …

I am using IWP to publish a registration form over the internet. I am using FM pro 11 and Verizon Fios 35/35 (upload/download speeds) on a dynamic ip address, using DHCP. I have port forwarding 80 pointing to my computer 192.168.1.104 (running vista). On my web site, I have my link pointing to http://92.244.234.37 (my verizon router address). Using filemaker within the local network works perfect. But if users out on the web or even myself from another computer within my home network try to get to my IWP session, sometimes it works, most of the time it thinks for awhile (10 or so seconds), while at the bottom of the browser says "connecting to 92.244.234.3…

I'm trying to modify a copy of recordlist.php to display a new record in the next cell, not on the next row. I've noticed that within the coding there is a command <?php $recnum++; } /* foreach record */?> at the end of the table row, but when I try to copy this between table cells </td> <?php $recnum++; } /* foreach record */?> <td> the browser displays a syntax error saying incorrect } on line xxx. Can anyone advise how to display the next record in the next cell across the page rather than on the next row? As a guide, this is the code I used in the old CDML days together with the Javascript: <table width="120" border="0"…

I'm trying to accomplish the following with IWP: There's a sign-up page on which people can choose from pop-up menus: 1. Choose an Event Name 2. Choose one of the available Dates for the Event chosen 3. Choose one of the available Times for the Event and Date chosen The user can apply this process for up to five Events. See attached image for illustration. I have built relationships which refresh the pop-up menus according to Event and Date choices of users. This works great in native FM, but in IWP the menus don't refresh. I know I could have different layouts. The user could choose first an event, then click a "continue" button which leads him to a di…

Dear all, I have a ghost version of my database that i want to share via IWP (only 3 fields) However it shows no records at all through IWP. In FMPro itself it works fine. I came across a similar issue on this forum but that was from 2005. Also, the suggested settings (configure file reference) does not exist in my version of FMPro (11) I have created a relationship to the main table from the main file. Does anyone know what to do to solve this? Thanks in advance. edit: link to old topic: http://www.fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/148350/

Hi Guys, Im trying to write a script in IWP that will print off about 200 lines of data. I know IWP currently has an old limit of 25 set to it, but Im sure you fine developers have found a cunning hack to get around this.... My initial thoughts were to create a blank page with a large global text field, find my records as a list, loop through my records storing them into a temp variable, switch to the layout with the large global field and paste/set field the values to that global field from my temp variable. I tried it and yes, it does work, however when I print, I get the silly borders of a web page on 1 sheet of paper. I also only get one page printing o…

I am using FMP 7 and am able to get Instant Web Publishing working 1 time (on two different Macs). When I quit the program and attempt to restart it, I get the Message: “FileMaker cannot share files of the Web because Instant Web Publishing could not be started". I have deleted the FM Web Publishing file from the FMP Extension folder and searched for prefs to delete. Any suggestions

Hi, From my apps in FM, all I want to do is send a command to my internet browser such as "https://messaging.gecka.nc/http/sendmsg?api_id=2&[email protected]&password=test44&text=test&to=68775 587724" then continue working in FM. If I use the Open URL function, FM open the browser, sends the command and then nothing happens. I want the script to come back to FM so that I can continue to work. Is the "Open URL" the right command or is there a background command available that avoids opening the browser etc .... ? Thanks for your help!!!

This might be a tricky one. When a user on our intranet goes to our IWP url, I'd like him to be automatically logged in (bypassing the credentials request page), and recognized by our Windows authentication (so that we may use Get-Accountname to identify him). Stephen, any other IWP experts: is this possible? Muchas gracias for the assistance.

Something I'm a bit perplexed about. I have Filemaker 10 Advanced, FMStudio with Dreamweaver CS5 and apache installed locally. We are using fmgateway for hosting. Using the above, can I setup things so that I'm developing entirely locally without touching the online fmgateway DB, then move the DB and local php files online when I need to launch?

Hi, I am just wondering if I can have 2 columns layout if I put my database online... Thanks. Kent

It looks like buttons for inserting pictures, movies, files, etc. aren't supported for IWP. Is there any way around this?

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. The university I work for uses a login page with Kerberos passwords for all online resources, like email and class registration. If I go to the IWP page in a fresh web browser, everything works fine. However, if I go through the Kerberos login page in one tab and then open IWP in another tab, the IWP does this very strange thing where it flashes back and forth between the auth.html and home.html page without ever actually logging in. I think I've narrowed it down to a cookie issue, because when I clear the Kerberos cookies in the browser, the IWP login works. Does anyone have an idea as to what part of th…

Hi, All Here's my setup Win Server 2003 SP2 with FM Server 11 advanced with IWP enabled. Win XP machine with FM pro 11 advanced. When I open a file with FM pro via remote dialog and when I want to publish it, I get the settings Box but the file won't show where the Open Files list is. I check the file as IWP and when I open the Home page in the Web Browser the file is there in the list. I need some clear explanations because I have to make a Demo meeting with a client. One info that might help. All my DB was prepared on a Mac OSX and then uploaded on the win Server, can that be a cause? Thanks for replying ASAP Nikos

Hi everybody, I would like to generate a report that contains sub-summary fields. It works very well on the full client, but if I access the layout on the IWP, no records are shown. Also, whenever I want to sort these records (even if there is nothing to sort -/ ) It's like if there were no field on the layout.... Is there any known issue about sub-summary fields and IWP ? I hope you understood my problem, it's a bit weird tho. Thanks for your help !

Hi folks, I (again) have a problem with the IWP... well, on the full client, as usual, everything works fine, which is not the case on the web client. I have a layout with a tab control on it, and I have some problem with it on the IWP... My problem is that, when I access the layout through the IWP, I simply cannot switch between the tabs. Well, if i clic on another tab, it does nothing, and if after that I push a button that redirects me to another layout, an error messages pops and says "Data not found: The following data cannot be found" (Translated from German) You can view and understand this more precisely here : SCREENSHOT Tha…

Hi folks, is it possile to restrict priviliges on the IWP ? For instance, I want to prevent people from creating, deleting or modifying records. See printscreen >>> HERE <<< Thanks in advance :)

I am trying to add some conditionally formatted text to a layout via Instant Web Publishing, however, I guess Conditional Formatting doesn't work in IWP. I've tried the TextColor and TextStyleAdd commands in both replace with calculated result and auto-enter data fields to no avail. Am I doing something wrong or is there simply no way to add dynamic, colored text to a layout in IWP?

I am trying to filter a portal in IWP using a value list. I've provided a custom value list on the lay that lets the user choose friendly date ranges (Last 120, Last 90 days, etc.) to restrict a portal. I was using two calc'd fields in the layout table, one for the start date and one for the end date of the values. I then set up a filtered relationship in the ERD to restrict the relationship to only dates that fell within the date range specified by the user. This works great in FMP, of course, but for some reason in IWP it's not. Thinking that perhaps it was an issue with IWP and calc'd fields, I added a button to the layout to set two date fields manually whene…

I have read through the documentation about allowing the Guest account IWP access so that you can redirect users to an IWP database layout with a username and password layout. I've set up redirects and the Guest account and everything works ok as long as the Guest account is the only one with the IWP extended access privilege. However, as soon as I add an account that has IWP access to it I lose the ability to redirect to my layout and the user is then presented with the default "Open Database" dialog that I am trying to avoid. This seems like a catch 22; I can redirect users correctly as long as their are no accounts in the database, but I can't authenticat…

Hi! My dropDown menu are working fine (using PHP Assistant), except for one detail the list contain values from a List Value (first name, last name). There is a space between the first and last name. When I choose a person, only it's first name is entered in the database. Lets say my value list is John Doe Susan Whatever Martin Familyname All the values display fine in the web browser. When user choose "Susan Whatever", only "Susan" is entered in the database. Any clue? Seems like everything after the sapce is not passed to the database. Martin

I'm putting together a PHP based solution (largely generated from the FileMaker PHP Site Assistant) to allow customers easy access to their email marketing subscriptions.

Hi , I am getting an error 201 whenever i publish on CWP in PHP using Filemaker Pro 11 advance on a Filemaker Pro Server 11 Advance. When i publish a flat file everithing works! What gives?

I have read many topic's in this forum, but Couldn't find this problem. I have made a filemaker pro database where users can report a problem. Now I have generated a php site with the php site assistent, and I did some modifications on this site. And now i'm stuck on one last change. It's the navigation bar, I want to customize this part so users only can see 3 links, and a admin all of them. (The Users and Admins are groups out of the active directory) is this possible?

I created a new form and related database, using a working php form, originally developed with FileMaker Site Assistant, changing only the look of the form and a couple of the fields. I made the changes using Dreamweaver (CS4). I have done this several times with other forms, having perfect results. But this time, the new form works in Firefox and Safari browsers, but not in Internet Explorer. I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what is wrong. Any ideas? Could it be something new with CSS, which I found to be very non-user-friendly in the CS4 version of Dreamweaver? Thanks!

Hi all! It's my first experience at building a PHP interface with FM. I'm doing a simple ticket system with the following fields Creation date Modification date ID Ticket (large text field) Follow (large text field) Name Creation Date, Modification Date et ID are autofill field. ID is set to increment number automatically. I can't get the PHP interface generate by FM server to work. The system return me an error 509 (require value). Any clue to get the PHP form to "autofill" the requiered value? Or is this any settings inside the database? Thank you! Martin

Is it possible to have people enter IWP without logging in? or perhaps logging in automatically as a guest without them knowing it?

I am trying to enable IWP sharing on my laptop to test my database for IWP on the same machine, but I continuously get the same error: "Filemaker cannot share files over the network because of a port conflict... bla bla", and no matter what address I enter, I get the same error. I've read some similar posts but nothing really helped. I also disabled my firewall but still no progress. I ahve run the same file at work on Windows XP and opening the database concurrently in FMP and Mozilla works fine. Could it be that my laptop runs on Vista Home Basic and such services are probably limited? If yes, is there any way to bypass it (e.g. settings in registry)?

Hi, I am trying to publish a database on IWP, but the "basic" viewing environment doesn't suffice. I was wondering if anyone has found an alternative (in IWP terms) to provide some sort of header/footer to the appearance, either by a portal or a web viewer. I was thinking of employing a ShowAll portal, but then, how would you implement a search (in multiple fields) function to it?

New to FM Forums. I have run into a problem where my FM Server Publishing engines turns off about once a day. Today it went off at 8:34 AM. It gave me the following message "error was encountered communicating with the server". The Web Publishing Engine was red though IWP, XML and XSLT showed as on. The log view showed the following information: "/fmi/conf/config.wpc" 401 0. Any idea what could be the problem?

My layouts print perfectly in Filemaker. However the same layout prints small when accessing it through a web browser. Is there a work around for this? Will I need two layouts one for the web and one for Filemaker? Thanks Mark Jones

I have a database that contains thousands of letters which have been scanned and put into individual PDF files. On my own computer I have set them up as referenced files in containers and am using a webviewer to view them. What I'd like to do is have this work on iwp as well - but at least when testing on my own computer (using Safari 5) I get just a blank screen in the web viewer - no "URL is not there" or otherwise. At present my paths in the web viewer are file://etc/etc/etc Do I need to make a relative path using ip address etc or is this a known problem with iwp and local files? I'd really appreciate any help/ideas on this one. Eve…

Hi, I've been using global container fields as buttons on my layouts, but they don't show up in IWP. Regular pictures (GIFs included) also don't show up. Even related records with container fields don't work. I've done a search in similar posts and none of the solutions work. In short, is it possible to have graphics with transparency in FM IWP?

I'm trying to use the Site Assistant to create a site that allows a user to edit a record. I'd like to have it work in such a way as to have the user receive an email with a link. When they press the link it goes directly to a specific record in FileMaker where they can make edits and then save. It seems the only way to do this is to embed the record number (primary key) into the URL that is passed in the email. Is this even possible? Thanks! Scott

I've found that it is much better to have a link to a video instead of having it directly in the database. Does anyone know of any good sites to use as a server/url to link to to play videos? Youtube? ...

Hi, I was wondering, is there any way to log the timestamp on which a user is automatically disconnected from a IWP hosted database? Or, if the user just closes the browser window?

Using FMP11 Advanced, I'm adapting an existing solution to become available via IWP. I'm successful in logging in, that part is definitely working. However, it's going to a very unexpected page and I've no idea why to that page. I suspect, but am not sure, it's not running the startup script which should take it to the proper page and at the same time hide and lock the status area, which it's not. Obviously I'm new to IWP. Under IWP, without access to the debugger and without custom dialogues, what's a workable method of debugging what's going on, of discovering what code has actually activated? Much appreciated.

An isolated Mac with a static IP DSL connection to the net. IWP is turned on and successfully tested using the Mac's internal IP address via port 80. Everything working. However, when testing with the static IP via port 80, what comes up is the DSL Thomson SpeedTouch ST516v6 modem's unfamiliar configuration screen. A colleague says port forwarding needs to be set up for this modem, a subject that both he and I are unfamiliar with. Nevertheless we did get into the area for "sharing an application" which feels it might be right. See attached screen shot. Are we on the right track? Advice welcomed.

I've run into a situation where a client can be working on a record via IWP using IE. If the client hits the delete button, they are given an IWP error and then when they reload, they are on a different record entirely. This is a major security issue, obviously. However, because it is specific to IE (I've tested with other web browsers) and because there is nothing I can tweak in IWP, I'm not sure that it is a resolvable issue. Before I approach the client and suggest that the solution get entirely rewritten in php, I was wondering if anyone has seen these or has any idea to keep it from happening? Much thanks.

I have an auto enter field that is used to establish a relationship and trigger a number of lookups in other fields. The lookups work fine if the record is created in FileMaker but fails when the record is created using fxphp. The auto enter field is auto entered correctly when the fxphp record is created but the lookups are not triggered. Any ideas on why the different behavior and how to resolve it?

Hey I am going crazy over this problem. I am trying to exploit the possibilities in the Instant Web Publishing technology but it just doesn't work.. It did work yesterday and that is what i cant understand. Now i get that terrible "cant start the web publishing module". I have updated FMP 8.5 to version 2.

Ok I know that there has been a lot of people with connection problems but this is beyond me. I was able to set up IWP using my home computer as the host and can connect from anywhere. Here at work though I can't get it to work. Here's the setup at work: Cayman dsl router acting as a bridge. Linksys router acting as WIFI. I configured port forwarding on the Linksys for port 591 to my work computer which is set up with static ip address 192.168.1.118. FMP is running on my work computer with IWP enabled. I also manually opened port 591 in windows firewall. With everything set up when I go to another computer and type in 192.168.1.118:591 it says the page is …

I'm writing a VB.net app that will pull some info from a FM database. Fairly simple concept. I'm using FMPA11 to host, and have already setup a System DSN that tested A-OK.

Here's a sample of what I've got - [color:red]Imports System.Data.Odbc Dim myConnection As OdbcConnection = New OdbcConnection() myConnection.ConnectionString = "" myConnection.Open() What do I need to put in the connection string to work? I've tried a few different combinations, but nothing works so far. Thanks for any help!

Did anyone succeed in starting up IWC (FM11.2) on OS X SERVER (10.5.x). I get the following message when I try to set up IWP "Filemaker cannot share files over the web because IWP could not be started." Thanks, Norbert

I have clients abroad who are trying to access my database using the external ip address from my computer. All across the United States it works fine but they are unable to see the page. When they type in the address it says the address is not found. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? The clients are in Hong Kong.

Alerts/warnings that come up in FMPro don't seem to come up in IWP. For instance, if I try to delete a portal row using FM, a popup comes up asking me if I would like to delete the portal record. That doesn't seem to work in IWP, so I cannot delete the portal record. I end up scripting it to go to another layout where I ask the question with a button that explicitly deletes the associated portal row and then going back to the first layout. Without custom web publishing, using only IWP, it possible to add a script/custom function/whatever that would overlay the question in an ajax modal alert so you don't have to navigate away from the page?

I'd like to hide certain layouts when a user is using IWP. Is there a hook I can use that will tell me whether a user is logged in via IWP?

Related records in a portal, working well in Filemaker, don't show up when approached through IWP. Also creation of new related records don't work through IWP. I receive a Data Entry Error: Your attempt to save changes to the current record or request failed because of the following: Missing join value for creating related records. To what do I have to take attention for making this working through IWP? Thank you for your attention. Jerome

Filemaker PHP site assistant generates recordlist.php ... <?php echo getSortRecordsLink('Name', 'Name')?> <?php echo getSortRecordsLink('Website', 'Website')?> <?php echo getSortRecordsLink('Email', 'Email')?> I want a single column with the name linked to the website, but if no website exists, linked to the email, and if no email, just the name. The old CDML code was- [FMP-IF: field:Website.cn.http] [FMP-FIELD: Name][FMP-ELSE][FMP-IF: field:Email.cn.@] [FMP-FIELD: Name][FMP-ELSE][FMP-FIELD: Name][/FMP-IF][/FMP-IF] Does anyone have suggestions or a sample php file that does something like this? I don't want to use calculations wi…

Dear All, I am trying to decide whether to develop a solution using FMP. A key requirement is for the database to be viewable on-line, with a unique URL for each record. I'm using IWP and I managed to acheve this the other day (the URL had a unique number somewhere in the middle for each record) but now I can't retrace my steps. Any tips please? Pip

I get the following message when I try to set up IWP on a starter solution I was testing: "Filemaker cannot share files over the web because IWP could not be started." I walked through the step by step directions in FMTS book, Chapter 12, but got that message. I noticed on the IWP dialog in the book there is a URL address that is not showing up on my dialog. I've never tried IWP before and just wanted to test it out. Any suggestions?

Hi there! I have a question regarding IWP and related tables and I could not find any answer on the net. This is my first post here on this forum and I hope this topic has not already been discussed. If so, I am sorry about that. -/ I built a database with several related tables. Everything works great when using filemaker, but when I connect to the database through IWP, here's what happen. One field (let's call it field 2) is supposed to fill automatically depending on the entry in another field (field 1). Data for the automatic entry (field 2) comes from a related table. In Filemaker, when data is entered in field 1, data in field 2 is automatically updated. H…

I have multiple databases hosted from one computer. I want to be able to send a link directly to a specific database instead of having the user see all the different databases I have running. Is this possible?

Hi there, I'm having troubles with a checkbox field using the IWP. On the full client, everything is looking perfectly, but it's not the case on the IWP. Here is a screenshot of the problem. http://yfrog.com/n9checkboxproblemj I've been trying to resize, change the fonts, the borders, etc. But the problem is still here. I know some people already posted topics about it, but either there is a link with the solution which is no longer working, either I don't get the solution. Thank you in advance for helping me !

Is there a way to hide the layout drop-down toolbar? I don't want to hide the who status bar, just the layout one.

I have a layout that is made to print out on 8.5X11. It prints out just fine from FMP11. When I use IWP and print it out I get different results. The problem is the size of the layout changes from browser to browser, so in some browsers it will reduce to a smaller size and in some browsers it will print to 2 pages with part on 1 page and another on a second page. I know about margins and printer settings but have had no luck getting the same printed results from different browsers. Any suggestion or Tips? Thank you

Does anyone know if FM Studio and Dreamweaver CS4 are compatible and if there is any advantage in purchasing CS4 instead of CS3?

How to move a PHP Site Assistant generated site from a localhost to a remote server The above questions took me a number of hours to solve and since it's seems that I'm not the only person who has had this difficult, I thought I would post the solution that worked for me. Problem You have setup FM Server on your development machine and used it to host your FileMaker file(s). Using the PHP Site Assistant, you connect to a FileMaker database and generate a site that is also hosted locally by Apache or IIS. Everything works great so you move the site and databases to remote servers. And, the home page comes up, but other than that, nothings works. Solution:…

Hi, The database is being shared from FM Server 9 Advanced, with 'Access via PHP Web Publishing' activated in the privilige set that is being used by the user Admin. We can open the database remotely, using Admin/no password. When we start the PHP Site Assistant, it asks us what Security Policy we would like to use. We choose 'Prompt user for authentication when accessing site', then click 'open database'. It asks for the username/password, but its reaction to Admin/no password is 'invalid user name or password. Please try again.' That username/password combo is absolutely correct, we can open the file with it after all. Tried it locally on the ma…

Hi! I built my entire database on FileMaker, and now, I want to put it on the web. The problem is, that when I want to see my subsummary reports (with trailing grand summary) and graphics, it doesn't work. I can only see what's in the header and in the grand summary part. My graphics are based on my subsummaries, so when I look at my graphs on IWP, there is 5500 colomns, which is not suppose to be. I looked if it could be my scripts, but they are all compatible with IWP. so I don't get what the problem is. Do you have any idea of what could cause that problem, or is it just IWP that don't support those thing? Also, is it possible to import data from an Exce…

I think this may be impossible with Filemaker, but I have found few things that are indeed improbable with Filemaker...so here we go. I need to add functionality either through IWP or a Filemaker Server (Never used server, not sure how it differs from Pro) to pop up a window or notification of some kind to the user, even a certain sound file based on a time entered by a calculation... Is this possible? I know locally I could do it with Script Triggers...not sure how to accomplish it for a remote user...

I have an IWP solution for registering participants at a dining center. The user logs on, opens the database, and then sees a list of possible participants. I have the status bar hidden - and want to keep it that way. It's designed for use with a touchscreen. So when the user touches a name on the list, it triggers a script to automatically enter and commit the registration data. The list of records is in list view. The problem is that only a certain number of records appears in the browser window and there is no way to scroll through the list without the the status bar. Can someone suggest a solution?

Hey guys, My first post! I love FMP and I'm excited to be a part of this community! To start, I will say that I have searched for this answer online to no avail. What I'm looking to do is to share my FMP database via IWP so that I can access it with either 1) another copy of FMP or 2) a web browser. I want to achieve this via port forwarding, not by running FMP Server. I believe I have done the appropriate port forwarding necessary but I still can't seem to get it to work. More details here; http://forums.filemaker.com/posts/702dc04af1 Thanks! PS> I'm quite desperate to get this done so if it can't be answered here on the forums, I'm willing to…

I am trying to make my database available for users from any location. The problem i am having is that i can only access the database from my ip address. I have a netgear router and i have optimum as my isp. The problem is that optimum uses a dynamic ip address i am told i need to set up a static ip address but they do not give out any dns servers. Does any one know how i can bypass the dynamic server and create a static ip? How do i get the proper DNS server i need? Or Is there a way to set up IWP with a dynamic IP? I know its not as reliable but for now it will do. Please help.

Hi all, Long story short. We had the server connected/setup at an old IP address. Now that the computer has moved to another building, the fmi/config IP still reads as the old IP and I cannot get into the Web Publishing Admin console. I checked in advanced server settings and the old IP is listed. How do I change the IP to the new one? Thanks in advance.

See also topic #174670 (of March 2006 !). My solution has a button that calls a script which includes a find. If not exactly 1 record is found , the script is ended without a result, the button is in effect ineffective. When 1 record is found (the most likely outcome) this found record is displayed in a relevant layout. So far so good, no problems in IWP. BUT when the user hits the back and forward button of the browser a very strange thing happens: instead of the found record, another record is displayed, one that never could have been found with the find criteria in the script. The status bar (normally suppressed in my IWP solution) reveals Record 0, of course tha…
