For a couple of years we do various things in FileMaker Script Workspace like syntax coloring. We got a copy command once we started to read all lines in a script. Later we added checks to find usage of undeclared variables, so you easier spot typos in your variable names. Now we go one step further: We scan for variables and present you a list of names we know. When you have a script open in the Script Workspace and you open a calculation dialog, you can now auto complete. Just go into a calculation dialog for a Set Variable or Set Field or any of the other script steps taking a calculation. Then type something. We have a switch there, so only when you type a $ symbol…

If you like to see the IDs for your value lists and later reference them in your scripts, check out the new option in the upcoming MBS FileMaker Plugin in version 11.6pr2 or newer: If enabled in preferences dialog or via SyntaxColoring.SetShowValueListIDs function, the MBS FileMaker Plugin will query FileMaker's ValueListNames and ValueListIDs functions to assemble the lists and show right in the table the ID. You can use FM.ValueListIDForValueListName and FM.ValueListNameForValueListID later in scripts to pick the name of a value list by ID or otherwise. Or just do the same via custom functions if you prefer that. We'll provide 11.6pr2 next week, so keep checkin…

In this article we want to introduce you the new functions from the MBS FileMaker Plugin in version 11.5. Text Let's start with the two functions that are new in the Text functions. With the function Text.Concat we create a text that writes all texts specified in the parameters one after the other. No space is set between the individual texts. Let's have a look at the sample. We have entered the words banana, orange and pineapple in the parameters of this function. Set Variable [ $Concat ; Value: MBS("Text.Concat"; "Banana"; "Orange"; "Pineapple") ] In the dialog box we see the text we get back. The second new function is Text.List. It too w…

Users often need to select an item from a large list. In such case it may be convenient to make the selection process hierarchical - for example, select a category first, then a subcategory in the selected category and finally an item in the selected subcategory. A popular solution is the use of conditional value lists. However, this requires adding relationships and table occurrences to the relationships graph in order to "filter" the value lists. Plus fields to hold the intermediate selections - fields that are otherwise not required, since only the final selection matters. Plus the value lists themselves. Here is an alternative method using a card window to …

XML External Entity Vulnerability in Claris FileMaker 49 minute read A couple of months ago I looked more deeply into the “Import Records” functionality in FileMaker, especially the XML parsing, and was wondering if any XXE vulnerability may exist and how one could exploit this in technically interesting ways. The vulnerability is/was indeed there and can lead to local file disclosure and server side request forgery in various components of the FileMaker platform. The following is a description of the vulnerability including potential exploitation paths. If you’re running FileMaker Server, make sure to install patch 19.4.1 to mitigate thi…

Nowadays we live in a connected world, so web services run on different computers and sometimes need to notify each other. They usually do that with sending a HTTP request to a given URL and pass on some data as part of the URL or e.g. a JSON block as payload. FileMaker has no built-in web hook feature and with FileMaker Server you can do some things with DATA API or a custom php script on the web server part. Our MBS FileMaker Plugin in version 11.5 comes with a new WebHook functionality. You can open a receiver to listen on a port for an incoming request and trigger a script to process the query. Our plugin provides maximum flexibility as you can create listeners as…

For MBS FileMaker Plugin version 11.5 we got a few new improvements for the syntax coloring. First, SyntaxColoring.AddTag can now do formula tags with wild cards. Just define a tag with stars on beginning and end to get that color rule applied on the end over all other rules: MBS( "SyntaxColoring.AddTag"; "formula"; "*deprecated*"; "red" ) This rule would mark everything with deprecated in a formula text with red color. Great if you have fields you want to get rid off. Rename the field to have deprecated in the name and then walk your way through calculations to easily spot the field name. We got a new way to color comments in calculations. When we detect a co…

A client got a bit xml file from Swiss government with a list of all registered/permitted medications. A huge XML file with thousands of entries. In order to import those easily, we use our XML.Import function in MBS FileMaker Plugin. We copied the XML Import example database included with our plugin to desktop. We copied the xml file to desktop and renamed it test.xml. Then we open the database and run the script. Since we didn't change it, it will simply look for a file named test.xml and import it. Since the XML file is 50 MB, this takes a while, but the XML.Import function creates 18 new tables with a lot of fields: The example has "Import2" as prefix for r…

Hi everyone, I want to use a webviewer to play mp3 and mp4 files but I can't manage to construct the right path to the external drive where those files are stored. I have hundreds of records each with its own mp3 or mp4, so I guess the way to access the right mp3 or mp4 from the right record would be to use the ConvertFromFileMakerPath function in the webviewer calculation. Amongst other things, I've tried this calculation: ConvertFromFileMakerPath ( "filewin:/G:/VIDEOS/"; URLPath ), but it's obviously the right approach. And frankly I'm lost as to how to construct the right path. Could anyone help? Thanks.
