    Good morning, I am having an issue with image reduction. Below is a snippet of code being used on PSOS. This is one image of 12 in a record that the image is reduced enough for it to be emailed out. If [ MBS( "Container.GetTotalSize" ; Job::Photo_Image_01 ) > $_size_limit ] Set Variable [ $Image ; Value: MBS("GMImage.NewFromContainer"; Job::Photo_Image_01) ] Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS ("GMImage.AutoOrient"; $Image ) ] Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "GMImage.Scale" ; $Image ; GetAsText($_reduction) & "%" ) ] Set Field [ Job::Photo_Image_temp Job::Photo_Image_temp ; MBS("GMImage.WriteToPNGContainer"; $Image) MBS("GMImage.WriteToPNGContainer"; $Ima…

    I bought a license of MBS Plugin for 5 seats. I have already installed it. When I check the plug in it appears correctly installed. But when I open Filemaker, I do not have any of the features offered by the plug in. In the scripts I don't have the colors , nor the zoom, and when I type MBS (" , the functions don't appear. My OS is WIN11 and I have filemaker 19. I have watched all the installation videos, but I can't get it to work. Sorry my English is not good Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

  3. We got trial keys about 5 years ago added to our MBS FileMaker Plugin. A trial key is only valid for a limit time and allows to test all features without demo limitations. Due to the time limitation of the key, you can use it for a few weeks. The key later expires and you are back to demo mode or you order a license to get a permanent license. We setup a form to request a license key: Request Trial License Key We may limit who can get a trial and filter out the requests looking like spam. But so far we issued over 1000 trial keys to various people. Please understand that trial keys are not intended for deployment of solutions as keys expire. Our regu…

  4. Hello I cannot find a way to set the value of a checkbox. Any ideas ? Thank you

  5. Hello I managed to insert fieldnames into a word file, which MBS is able to find using the "WordFile.FieldNames" function. However if I want to set a value into one of those fields, MBS throws the following error "[MBS] Failed to find field: Test03". I also tried combing controlfields(this is what the MBS plging is calling fieldnames) with "text form fields". But nothing,..... Questions How do I have to setup a word file, in order to effectively use the "WordFile.SetFieldText" function correctly? Is it possible to set a "true" value for a checkbox using fieldnames? If so... please tell me too Thank you Have a nice da…

    Hi. I have a CSV file that has dozens of lines that look much like this: "first field a" ; "second field a" ; "third field a" ; 17 ; "first field b" ; "second field b" ; "third field b" ; 26 ; I have read this into a variable ($csvData) with the Files.ReadFile command - which seems to have worked OK. I then want to import these entries into a table with the FM.InsertRecordCSV command, but it is giving me grief. MBS("FM.InsertRecordCSV" ; "Solution.fmp12" ; "Part_List" ; "Product_Code¶Description¶Brand¶SOH" ; Char(59) ; $csvData) It reports the following: "[MBS] CSV has 2 columns, but we have 4 field names" It seems to have seen the four fie…

  7. I'm using the MBS QuickLook Functions: https://www.mbsplugins.eu/component_QuickLook.shtml Is there a way I can specify the PDF page to go to and view in the QLPreviewPanel? By default, it always going to the first page of the document being looked at.

  9. Started by mvoogt,

    Can I use the MBS to print a 2 page US Letter PDF on a piece of 11X17 piece of paper? (Also known as 2 UP) What would be the function to use?

  10. I am trying to join multiple PDFs in to one PDF. The issue I am having is that the page numbers are not displaying correctly. It will list the page number as 1, 2, 2, 2, 2 etc instead of 1, 2 ,3 ,4, 5. My code looks like: #Setting the desitination Set Variable [ $dFilename ; Value: "/" & builderdoc.builder.file::file_number_n &" " & builderdoc.Builder::name_t & ".pdf" ] Set Variable [ $destPath ; Value: MBS("Folders.SystemTemporary") & $dFilename ] #New PDF Set Variable [ $pdf ; Value: MBS("DynaPDF.New") ] Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("DynaPDF.OpenOutputFile"; $pdf; $destPath) ] #Loop though records and merge pdfs …

For me the MBS Plug-in is what is making FM rel usfeull because i mainly use it to get Data from all kind of sources, like Web APIs, DBs and so on. So why should we all programm basics like the Google APIs, Paypal, Magento APIs and so. The question where could we share all this kind of code to build up a library that everony can use to avaid that every single person has to invent the wheel by himself.
