Spammers I hate them!!! Does anyone know how to set WebSTAR to allow Lasso to send email without having the SMTP forward / relay left open for non pop account holders? I have had 8,000 emails pass through my SMTP server in the last 24 hours thankfully not all spam my poor old Mac setup is still smoking! I've had various internet authorities on my back all day wanting to know what I'm doing about it. I've shut down the SMTP Mail server for now but I need email response from my database. Help!

Hello All Here's the dilema: I am creating an online form with CDML and FileMaker. The form itself accesses three different databases. I tried using scripts to create the proper values in fields in the additional db's to create the relationships so the data would go in no problem. Didn't work. It wouldn;t properly grab the right record. Caused problems when more than one person was submitting. The next solution was to create Global fields in the main db and create a script that moves the values to the right places in the other db's. In theory great idea however it seems that I can't post data to global fields from the net. Is this true or am I just loosing my mind…

Pardon me if I seem terribly undereducated, but my recent research has not truned up all the answers I had hoped it would. Can someone give me a brief rundown of why someone would use Lasso when Filemaker has it's built-in web companion? I need to recommend one to my company, but don't see anything that tells me just how they differ. Thanks! -Heather

Hi all, I have a problem..(like you people haven't heard that before!) I would like to create a button in my shopping cart that will add 1 to the quantity of the current record and would like to know if there is a way of doing by just using CDML and not creating a script in FM or making a calculation feild in the db. This would also apply to a -1 button as well. Any ideas would be great. By the way I am a newbie to FM.

I'm having a hard time getting a particular CDML function to work properly and I am puzzled as to what might be wrong. Here's what I'm trying to do: Visitors must log in (using -find function) before signing in to an afterschool program. To log in they need to enter their first initial, last initial, and student ID number in three text fields. If *all three* match an existing student in the database, they are welcomed and allowed to sign in. If any one of the three fields is not correct (or left blank a situation validated by a javascript on the login page), they will receive an error message. At least, that's the way it's *supposed* to work. Instead, the second of…

I have a situation which necessitates me moving from a parent DB to a child. The primary key for the relationship needs to be passed by a token. However, I would like to move through my parent file's records using the Next and Previous links. Once I arrive at a record and want to view its related records I would like to click on a link to take me to the child DB, and again let me use the next and previous links to move around the related records. Where should I place the &-token=[FMP-field:seq] code in my format page? Can I add it somewhere between the {FMP-LinkNext] and [/FMP-LinkNext] tags? Should it be built into the search link or an inline action in the res…

If anyone can help me out with this I would be most grateful. I have an [FMP-RECORD] record loop running to display the results of a search query, and within this I have a check box which calls a JavaScript function (email01) like so: <input type="checkbox" name="cb[FMP-field:id no]" onClick="email01('[FMP-field:email]', '[FMP-field:id no]', '[FMP-FIELD: company name]')"> and delivers back three fields to the function which are then compiled together and written to a -Token field. My problem is that when viewing through Netscape 4.7 (it works fine on Netscape 6 and IE5), when I get more than five results, Netscape stops and FileMaker stop responding. I'm runnin…

Hello, I have little difficulty with a CDML tag. This is a tag to make a link to a record ID in a database. I put my tag just like this : [FMP-linkrecid: Format=detail.html] in a HTML link tag : <a href=...> It is suppose to go to search a particular record in my database and put it a web site. But it's not working... I copy and paste a old CDML tag who was elsewhere in the web site and who was the same that I use now. So, in theory, it is supposed to work, no? Because the old link work... Why it's not working? Did I forgot something? Can someone help me? Thank you!

My site is in a frame set up-Frame A and Frame B. Frame A has a list of links to new records pages and search pages which load into Frame B. FMP handles the links in Frame A so that the pages in Frame B are populated with the respective information from the databases. Problem: When I submit the forms that are in Frame B, I receive an error that the specified reply format file, specified in the hidden input tag, can not be found. I've placed the reply file(s) at the root level of the 'Web' folder, and chnged the file paths to be different levels. No luck. Is the problem because I am linking to the form pages from a different frame? Thanks

And if you found the way which I can test and confirm your outcome, then I will pay you the money and endorse your solution with my authority whatever level I achieve. I sent Anatoli my demonstration on April 7, to review and test. I thought this would be good since Anatoli has claimed to be a hacker, and I figured that if anyone could make the workaround not work it would be a hacker. On April 8, Anatoli posted: "The "workaround" relies on SCRIPT (!) to check if somebody is running Script. In another words, the problem…

I have been in the process for nearly a year of writing a demonstration of cdml/html for FileMaker developers, particularly those who are finding themselves being asked for the first time to develop browser based solutions for their employers and/or clients. Affectionately known as newbies, they face a learning curve. When I was a newbie, I already knew html and as I started trying to learn the language of cdml I struggled with the lack of good examples. I read a couple of books which helped, but it was a struggle. And some of the information in those books was flat out in error. So I decided to write my own demonstration of what I would have liked to encounter. I have…

In the results file for database A the contents for "title" is prepared to be sent to database B via hidden input (<input type="hidden" name="title2 " value="[FMP-field: title]"> ).

I have done some researching and it seems the best way to publish FM databases to the web is by using Lasso. My company needs more flexibility that can't be offered just by using the instant web publishing. I wonder if anybody has any other alternatives besides Lasso. I've also done some researching, and it was recommended to have an RAIC setup where you have FM Server running on one computer, the same FM databases hosted by clients running FM Unlimited, and the web server on another computer with Lasso installed. -Does the FM databases in the client computers have to be opened for lasso to access it? Does FM server open them for you, so you don't have to manually …

Once again the and/or mixed metaphor. While this has been discussed many times, I still have not seen an answer which is any better than this: the operators 'and' and 'or' are not usable as you are proposing. If you look at the cdml reference page "Operator ... Tag Type Variable", you will find a list of operator values. There is even an example of the operator "eq" in a form action. If you attempt this, you will be equally disappointed. (pardon the pun) My experience is that these tags work well when you are embedding a conditional [fmp-if] on a format file. They work well in such situations as: [fmp-if: fieldname .eq. ''] display this text [fmp-else] display t…

What looks at first like a simple issue: I'm trying to access an fp5 database through IE 5. The message when I hit the link is: *Unable to process your request because the database "my_database.fp5" is not open.* Clearly it *is* open (in Filemaker), the web companion is set for custom web page and web security, and the web security database is open and has an entry to include "my_database.fp5". I've included a user name and password for myself. I've searched Filemaker's documentation and can find few references to what constitutes a database being *open*, other than the file being open in filemaker. Any ideas?

I recently went "live" with a database on our company web page. I am using a custom web page to add records to the database on-line. Whenever a new record is created via SUBMIT, all of the data is entered into the database except that in one TEXTAREA field (called "ResumeDisplayed"). I have tried everything I can think of to make it work, but to no avail. The data fields are "nested" in several tables (the outermost one terminates at the end of the document), but I don't think this would affect how the form works. If anyone could help me out here or point out a really obvious (or not so obvious) mistake, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Please excuse the long bi…

My problem is that the link to the database takes the host address instead the ip address as root directory to append the "FMRes/FMPro..." stuff. And it doesn't work. Is there a solution?

I have a database where users log in with a username and their email address. The only problem is the "@" in the email address. When I perform a find in the database, the "@" is a special character and filemaker will not find any records. For example: if the email address is stored in the database as [email protected], I can do a find on "test" and I am able to find and display the record, but a find on "[email protected]" gives me a "format file not found error". How can I get around this frustration? Argh!

Hi Guys, Is there anyway I can search a normal, single, text field via a collection of check boxes. Essentially I have a field with codes in it and I want the web user to select the codes he/she wishes to see data for. I can get it to work when one check box is selected, however it refuses to work for two or more. Any ideas? Thanks Frazer

Hi all, I hope someone can help me here, I've tried every combination I can think of... including inline; though I don't understand the syntax of inline yet I want to specify a format file by the value of a token for example, Token 6 has the value of "pa_form_spec_entry.html" [FMP-include: [FMP-currenttoken:6]] - this doesn't work [FMP-inlineaction -include: -currenttoken:6][/FMP-inlineaction] - tyhis doesn't seem right either Also, some og the postings show curly braces {} - why/when are these used. Thanks lots for you help Nathan

I have been working on my first CDML database and it has been no small undertaking. I love what FMP can do. However I have run into a problem with my Custom Web Solution. I have created my EDIT,Delete, and NEW templates which seem to be working fine when entering new products. The problem arises when I try to edit/delete preexisting products, I get this error message Unexpected Error An unexpected error occurred: Couldn't find database name in POST arguments. Click the Back button on your browser to return to the previous page I just do not understand. The same templates are used to edit/delete new products are are used to edit the pre-existing prodcuts in the …

Using the Web Companion services, is there a recommended maximum number of databases that should be hosted? We are currently running 4 db's on our FMPro web server and hosting up 24 others that are called from other file servers to our web server. Is there a limit before our web server starts having problems? Thanks!

I have a script in my database that finds a group of people based on a field, works fine within filemaker. However, when I tried using it in the web site, it does not work. I tried using this code below for the as a link, but it seems to find all the records and the summary page only displays 1 record. Any suggestions?

Hello everone, Help!!! I have been searching the web for help and I found your web site where I discovered that you may be able to help me with the problem I am having with Filemaker. My query is this: If you are designing a custom web site that communicate with a database over the web using CDML tags, how would you display a pop up (drop down) menu to display value lists that are derived from a relationship ? I know that in order to display a pop up menu to display value list you could use the following tag: <select name="cs_Operation"> <OPTION VALUE="" SELECTED>- Select Operation - [FMP-option: cs_Operation, list=Operation] </select>…

But my mind is very finite. I'm using a type of security form. In my database called "Web" there resides a bunch of fields for ordering stuff and two fields for Item Owner (the owner of the Item that is being ordered. This is a relational field that cannot be edited through the web, but when an order is placed, it fills out automatically.) and Password. When trying to enter the restricted area, the user must enter the correct ItemOwner and Password. This is not a problem using the exact search function. HOWEVER: I also have two more fields that need to be searched on during the same search to filter old records out. A Status=New and a field that flags orders whe…

USED CUSTOM SORTS? PLEASE HELP... I have a web-based solution that does a custom sort, based on the values in a value list named "plantgroup". The CDML is: <input type="Hidden" name="-sortfield" value="grouping"> <input type="Hidden" name="-sortorder" value="custom=PlantGroup"> I developed and tested on a Mac. Works fine. We deploy production solutions on NT, so I moved it there, then noticed the custom sort did not occur. I did all sorts of testing, hosting this on another Windows machine, this time 98. I made sure the newest Web Companion plug in was in place, so we're talking FMPro 5.0v3, with Web Companion 5.0v6. When I access th…

Apologies from the get go if I'm not describing this the best way but here you have it. If I have html in a field, i.e. <a href="../index.htm">main page</a>, can I get it to display in a field using cdml as a link and not just a print out of the html? The source code for a field looks like this; Log Entry: <a href="../index.htm">main page</a> Let me know if you need more info.

does anyone know if CDML tags change when you start using a bound file (a runtime file created in developer)? everything worked in a regular fmp file, and now that i've converted the database to a standalone, i get an error that file "/path/path/path/FMPro" cannot be found. my guess is that the CDML tags need to change, but which ones do i start tweaking? (i did, obviously specify the name of the new database in the tags) would much appreciate any hints!

I have browsed as many past posts as I could find, so I hope I am not repeating things here... I am using FMP5 Unlimited, serving two databases which are related. I used HomePage and additional tags to create a search page which returns results in a page with a portal. The portal works great as long as I use the button (generated by HomePage) to submit the search request. However, If I use a link to submit the search, I only get the fields from the parent file - no related fileds in the portal. I have managed to use the inline action tag to get things going for now, but am curious as to why I can't duplicate the button action in a link.. As my databases grow, the …

Hi Guys, Is there anyway I can search two databases and display their results on a single web page? By way of explanation: I have a personnel database where each person has a single record. I also have a publications database where some of those in the personnel database will have multiple records (one per publication). I would like to display data from both databases on a single page (i.e. personnel data followed by publications) without the hassle of having to add personnel data to my publications database for each record. Any suggestions? Thanks, Frazer [This message has been edited by Frazer (edited March 05, 2001).]

We have an online store and each product can be displayed and has a URL when called up on a browser. We would like to have a "master database" using FM online - we already have them at www.racecarnuts.com with a static IP address, so we know how to set them up and customize them. BUT...we would like to have a click-thru hyperlink on a product graphic or a button in the database that will take a viewer to the online store specific product page and open a new browser window at the same time. The database will contain a wide range of racing products from NASCAR Winston Cup and Busch Series teams and drivers, along with a host of vendors which work with our charity fund-ra…

I am stumped. I had a web site that was an online registration for workshops being offered. It worked fine last semester so this semester I just changed the information and it now will not work. Whenever I use the CDML like this:[FMP-VALUELIST: PowerPoint, LIST=PowerPoint] <INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=PowerPoint VALUE="[FMP-ValueListItem]"[FMP-ValueListChecked]>[FMP-VALUELISTITEM: Always, HTML]<BR> [/FMP-VALUELIST] (that was suggested in an earlier posting) the text appears on the web page. I want the web page to show a checkbox with the information from the value list and instead it shows the CDML with a checkbox. If I remove the CDML I am able to regis…

I have searched the forums looking for a complete answer to my question, but I can't seem to find one. I read the "embedded links" topic and the answer was not clear to me. Here is what I would like to do. I want users accessing my database via web browser (the database is published with the web companion plug-in)to be able to click on a URL link that will take them to a PDF file for downloading. I have the impression from many of the posts that this is not possible without using CDML. Is this true? I need to keep this simple without a lot of custom tweaking. So to summarize: is there anyway to have a clickable URL reference from a web companion published database? T…

We're using lasso to create records in an FMP 4.1 database from our website. When a website user (customer) places an order on our website, our lasso code creates a new order record in our database. The problem we're having is that periodically (almost randomly) the FMP database starts using rediculously high record id's when it creates new records. I'm referring to FMP's internally stored record ids. For example, the database's last record id might be 20,253. Then someone places an order on the website and the next record id FMP generates is like 14,299,382!! Why is ity doing this? Is this a lasso bug?

I have no idea how to do this but I bet it's simple! In most of my cdml sites, once posting a new record I always have the following page be the posted record details, i.e. "You've submitted the following info." I have a client that would like the page following a form submission to be the main page of their site which finds and displays all records. I've changed the format file to the main page, <input type="hidden" name="-FORMAT" value="ec_webdev_db_main_list.html">, but when I submit a new job the following page is in the format of the main page but does not find all records, it only displays the new record. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to able to alternate the row color on my search results page.

Does anyone know of an easy way to do this? I am using custom web publishing with FM 4.0.3 and right now I am trying to use an If else statement where if the [FMP-CURRENTRECORDNUMBER.eq....] Originally my logic was something like this if the Current Record Number was an even number then make the row color white else make the row color grey. I haven't found an equation that successfully tests for even or odd. Is there some secret co…

Folks It's been talked about in the Forums before, but I never took any notice of it since it'd be a cold day in Queensland... I mean Hell when I'd use any of that new-fangled stuff. Well, it's snowing. I've just spent a day f*cking about with validation-by-calculation to work out that *I* cannot get it to work over the web. (I'm specifically working on modifying the Web Security databases to get a better web interface to them.) What I would like to do is to: 1) validate that a field is not empty before submission 2) validate whether a field can or cannot be empty based on another field. Hmmm the second item is a clear as mud. Here is the situation: The Web Secu…
