FileMaker Plug-Ins

Good morning. I am having a problem with the BE_ClipboardSetText function and hoping somebody might be able to shed some light on it please. Long story short, the both functions work fine on my Mac when I use “public.utf8-plain-text” as the [format] parameter – which I get from BE_ClipboardFormats function – I can copy and paste, but it does not work on Windows for my client. When I run BE_ClipboardFormats on Windows it returns nothing – I have tried three different Windows workstations. They are using plugin version 5.0.0.2 on FmPro 21.1.1. I know I'm to use the output from the BE_ClipboardFormats function in the BE_ClipboardSetText function in the "fo…

I need to connect to an SFTP server and upload a file from Filemaker. Apparently Filemaker 17 don't do SFTP natively, but I have used Base Elements quite a lot and like it. However, I am not able to get the BE_FTP_Upload command to work. I have the PDF file in a a global container called System::xContainer. I am doing Set Variable $$ftpresult with the following info: BE_FTP_Upload ( "theftpserver.com:2222/" ; System::xContainer ; "FtpUserName" ; "ThePassword" ) The only result I get is a questionmark. I am able to upload the same file with an FTP client. Any ideas? Tia, /andreas

Hello! Having problems getting BE_FTP_Delete to work.

Hello I use indeed old FM versions (12 and 14) but have a problem to attach files when using the BE_SMTP_Send module. Initially I have files in a list $attachments like this one But I tried unsuccessfuly too with only one file. My command is like BE_SMTP_Server ("smtp.free.fr" ;25;"";"" ) & BE_SMTP_Send ( parametres::mail_assoc;$recipient; $subject;$text & "¶" & $$sign; "" ;"" ;"" ;"" ;$attachments ) The mail is sent without attachments !

I'm trying to install latest Base Elements on FMPA18 18.0.3.17 on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 I tried dragging it into the plugin folder but FMPA doesn't show it in the list of plugins in preferences. I also tried installing it via script step and get this error: "BaseElements.fmplugin" failed to initialize. I've successfully installed Base Elements on other machines. Any ideas? Thanks!

Realized that I had an old version of the Base Elements plugin on my macOS FMS installation. Disabled the plugin in the Admin Console Removed the file from the Database Server > Extensions folder Put the new version in the folder Restarted the server The plugin is recognized in the Admin Console but it is disabled and I can't enable it. Any thoughts?

Got a call this morning from a customer, his solution started with a plug-in loading error. After some research, I discovered that pre-Catalina Macs did not load the plug-in anymore. FileMaker apps that remained running overnight had the plug-in loaded and functional, but when restarting FileMaker, the plug-in did not reload. My first thought was that some certificate expired, allthough a "codesign -dv --verbose=4 BaseElements.fmplugin" does not reveal any expiry date. Super strange. It had to be something expiring though. So I codesigned it again, with my own Mac developer certificate... and it loaded again. It's half past 5 in the evening in Australi…

I am tying to use the newly update Monkey Bread Software plugin version 9.4, but whenever I try to open a word file File Maker 18 will just crash. I was using the 9.3 version but it had problems creating a word file that could be opened. Thanks! -=fred=-

Dear community After hours of tinkering, I'm looking for some help. I have a script that combines PDFs using BE's AppendPDF command that works perfectly on a FileMaker Advanced instance on Windows. However I simply cannot get it to work on FileMaker Server (Windows Server 2016). I get nothing but questions marks. Here's the script code (see image) which is working on local Windows. Can someone give me one file-path example of how I would have to write the paths for PoS? MANY thanks in advance, Michael Here's my attempt in what the script might need to look like for PoS, but as I said, I get nothing but "?" in the cont…

I'm trying to integrate my FM solution with Freshdesk, a helpdesk web app that uses GET and PUT commands over HTTP. My first challenge is to retrieve a ticket from Freshdesk. According to the API documentation, all I need to do is (for ticket ID 200): curl -v -u [email protected]:test -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET 'https://domain.freshdesk.com/api/v2/tickets/200' I'm happy I made it work in Mac OS Terminal! but now I would like to use it within FM and the Base Elements plugin seems a good option, so I made the following script: Set Variable [ $header; Value: BE_HTTP_Set_Custom_Header ( "Content-Type" ; "application/json" ) ] Set Variable [ $get;…

BE_SMTP_Send is successful when I 'send' an email message without an attachment. The same Send, when adding a single attachment using the file path to a pdf attachment fails with an error code '2' (don't know what that means). The file path that is used is obtained from an 'insert file' script step. I've tried using the file path in both a container and a text field. I've tried both file: and filemac: formats for the file path. What am I missing?

Hi all, I am trying to make a folder and export a container into it on a mac server using BaseElements plugin "BE_CreateFolder" and "BE_ExportFieldContents" but no matter what directory I select, it returns Error #13 (CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASV_REPLY (13) >> libcurl failed to get a sensible result back from the server as a response to either a PASV or a EPSV command. The server is flawed.) I have tried get(TemporaryPath), get(DesktopPath) and get(DocumenstPath) with no luck. The main goal is to be able to send SMTP emails with multiple attachments using "BE_SMTP_Send" and "BE_SMTP_AddAttachment" from Server machine. Please let me k…

Hi all I've switched from the 360works scriptmaster plugin to baseelements for sending emails. Since then, subject lines that contain spaces have tabs in as well. The tabs are not necessarily in place of the spaces, as subjects with many spaces have just the one tab. In subjects with just one space however, the tab replaces that space. I hope the picture shows what I'm experiencing. The header of the email contains the following: Subject: spaceatfortiethcharacterspaceatfortieth characterspaceatfortiethcharacterspaceatfortiethcharacterspaceatfortiethcharacter So it appears as though it may be adding a carriage return? Any ideas? …

Help! I have spent days trying to get the BaseElements plugin to load. My setup is Mac with FMS16 and BaseElements 3.3.7. I have setup a small test database which populates a field using a simple function (BE_Version). I have put the plugin in the two folders: /Library/FileMaker Server/Database Server/Extensions /Library/FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/publishing-engine/cwpc/Plugins The first folder seems to be OK but the plugin for WebDirect is not working. One issue is that the permissions might be incorrect but all derivatives that I try seem to fail: chmod g+wrx /Library/FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/publishing-engine/cwpc/Plugins/…

Hi all, After a MAC server OS update and auto restart, we are getting CURLE_FAILED_INIT (2) error on BE_SMTP_SEND function of BaseElements plugin. The firewall is off so it should not be a blocked port. Can any one explain what can cause this error and how to fix it? Regards,

Hi All, Any one know the people at Dacons.net? I purchased the Mail-it 6 plugin for a project and am having no luck registering it on the server. It just does not work using there method. I have contacted them 6 times to date and waited a month with no response or help of any kind. Are they still in business? Does anyone know how to register the server version? Thanks for any help anyone can provide. Jeff

Hi All, I have a hugh problem: I'm still working in FM 5. It works very well at Windows 10. It is a backoffice program for travel agents with a lot of automatic functions. My registers are very large and full with fuctions so I dont have money or time to migrate to a newer Filemaker version. All my plugins work well except Productive Computings Chgange Printer Plugin. It start and work well but sometime between 45 min to shut down Filemaker it stop to work. When I shut down I got a messeage that the "Plugin stop to work after 45 min. Please Register." After registration the Plugin thank me for registration but still come the messeage when shut down. I ha…

Hi all, Using BaseElements Plugin, I can send emails with attachments, but, the from parameter seems to be constant and does not change based on value of a filed. Here is the variable I use: BE_SMTP_Send ( Emails::from; Emails::to; Emails::subject; Emails::body ; ""; ""; ""; ""; $AttachmentPath) So whatever I have in "Emails::from" is ignored in the sent email. Any Idea? Regards,

Hi. Im stuck. Im trying to access a file on our Intranet that is a dynamically created CSV file. One of our other departments programmed a database that is web based. A visitor uses a web browser and when they click a link, the link generates a CSV file which is then download through the browser (like any other file would be). The CSV doesn't actually exist on the server. I know the URL, and Im trying to get the file to download and then upload the file into a container field. Ive tried Insert From URL, but I get a connection error (the link uses https://). Any ideas? Ive tested with Base Elements plugin also, but Im stuck. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, when using the FTP upload function: BE_FTP_Upload ( url ; data {; username ; password } ) Can "data" be a path to a file in the local drive? or otherwise it can only be a file inserted in a container field?

I know - stupid question, but the download available on the homepage for BE are OLD (3.1.0 or something) and I would like to use the newest version 3.5.0 (as far as I know) - but where to find those - or is that restricted to sponsors ? Thank you in advance KR Lars G

Hi, I have the Troi file plugin installed (FM 13 Windows 7 Home) and when using the "select folder" function the network drives don't show as selectable. This works well with Mac though. Since I thought it was something wrong with the plugin, I installed Base Elements plugin and used the equivalent "select folder" function. Same result, the network drives are not visible in the select folder dialog. Then I installed FM 14 in the same machine and the problem disappears: with the Troi plugin function "select folder" the network drives appear as selectable and folders can be created using the plugin in that network drive. Any clue why this can be happening? t…

Hello, I am developing a custom plugin with 24U Plug-In Template 3.1, which contains the FileMaker Plug-In SDK for FileMaker Pro 12. But in fact, i am targeting FM Pro 13, and on the FileMaker site : http://www.filemaker.com/support/technologies/ , I can only get the v16 release : fm_plugin_sdk_16.0.1.162.zip Is there a way to download the SDK for v13, v14 or even v15 of FileMaker ? Or perhaps, thats not really necessary (only small changes in SDK ?...) ? Thanks !

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me with the BaseElements "BE_WriteTextToFile" function. I can only get this to work when I strip out the Volume Name from the path. So I can't use Get(DesktopPath) or Get(TemporaryPath) etc without removing the volume from the start of those results. That doesn't seem correct and I think I must be missing something. Or is that the way it is intended? Does anyone have a simple example of it working? Thanks.

I'm looking for information about a FileMaker plugin called "PyPlugin." I have a client with an existing system who has it installed on macOS, but I can't find any information or documentation about it. Given the name, I assume it allows the execution of Python within FileMaker, but this isn't PyFM or PyFileMaker, since first, it's working on a Mac, and second, it's a plugin, not a Python library. The system has been used for quite some time, so perhaps the plugin isn't available any more, but if anyone can point to any documentation for it, or, of course preferably, a link to be able to download it, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Chuck

I have found the 24U plugin template to be quite useful in porting a plugin that was originally built for Windows, but one issue I've come across is that the function IDs need to match the existing Windows version instead of working sequentially. In an attempt to make this happen, I added a `#define` for each of the plugin functions in FMTConfig.h, such as: #define FUNCTION_1_ID 15007 Then I changed the lines in FMTemplate.cpp to read like this: err = RegisterExternalFunction( FUNCTION_1_ID, FUNCTION_1_PARAMS, regFunction1Flags, FUNCTION_1_C_NAME ); ... UnRegisterExternalFunction( FUNCTION_1_ID ); .... (void) fmx::ExprEnv::UnRegisterExternalFun…

Good day to all, I am looking for a plug-in or a Filemaker solution to integrate it into our existing Filemaker solution to be able to make the best cut out of available inventory based on an order submitted. It will be both 1D and 2D cuts. Imagine we have different sizes of plates and pipes in available inventory of our factory, A client put a specific order for specific sizes of cuts. We need to know which materials should be selected from inventory and how should they be cut to get the less wast possible. For example, we have steel plates with below sizes as raw materials: Quantity Lenght Width Thickness 53 2000…

I'm trying to write a simple FileExists() function, but I'll be darned if I can't find any documentation (hours of playing with this not fruitful) on how to take the dataVect object passed (the parameter from FileMaker) and pass that (a file name path) to the 'fopen" block of unfinished code below. C++ is not my normal language so the syntax and XCODE errors aren't helping. Not sure why this is difficult (OK, probably only for me). I'll get a file path in the dataVect and I just want to see if that path exists. (Magic apparently needed.) Would appreciate any suggestions. This is easy, right? Thanks, - m ------------------------- FMX_PROC(fmx:…

LS, Since FM12 I deploy plugins with the install plugin script step FM provides. This works like a charm in 12.x and 13.x. 14.x refuses to install plugins with these script steps under Win7 and Win10. Has anyone else had problems with this ? I now just manually install the plugins for my test machines, but this kind of sucks. There seems to have been a change as well in the way/time the plugins load as I now get Troi Dialog saying it is not registered, but it it registered when my start scripts is finished loading. Using all the latest versions of my plugins. Thanks in advance !

Hi, I'm looking for some suggestions for a credit card processing plugin that is supported on a hosted solution. I've googled a few, but looking for some suggestions from the community on what they've tried or currently use and if you're happy with it. Thanks!

Hello, Because of several Java issues I want to use the Baseelements plugin iso ScriptMaster by 360works. But when writing files with BE_writeTextToFile on a Mac I can write data with CRLF, CR or LF, on Windows (7) however I get CRLF whatever I put in the data. Is there a solution for this? TIA

I have been using FTPit Pro for FTP in a couple of solutions. However, due to the fact that it is not updated to 64bit and a wish to consolidate the number of plugins used, I would like to use BE plugin for FTP as well, since we use this plugin for other purposes. There is a function to upload files to a FTP server, but I have trouble finding a way to create remote folders. (as well as downloading, though I might have alternative ways to do that) Does anyone have a way to create remote folders with BE plugin on FTP server ?

LS, Does anyone know of a plugin with which I can create/upload/open a document to GoogleDrive ? Tia, Joost

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good plugin to use when working with a lot of files? The project I am working on requires a lot of moving, reading, renaming, etc of files and I am not happy with the current setup. Right now I am using ScriptMaster for all of the file manipulation. In general I love that plugin. The problem is that I can't get it to run properly on the server. I am using FM Server 13 on a Windows 8 machine, and 360works server plugins aren't compatible with that OS. Instead I have a robot client running with script timers. This works ok but I don't like that someone has to activate the scripts every time the computer restarts. I'd rather have somet…

It seems like BaseElements is the tool I need to use, but I'm having some trouble getting it to work correctly. There isn't much for documentation other than a function list and if there's more examples, please share them. I'm using Windows here. From what I understand, with BaseElements I can have a starting solution and can automatically put fields from that starting solution into the clipboard and then manually paste them into a new solution. I'm just trying to make a simple example and I'm using these functions: BE_ClipboardFormats() BE_ClipboardText ( format ) BE_SetClipboardText (text;format) It seems like the process is to work backwards... …

We have just released a new plugin called "Synergize". This is a revolutionary plugin that allows you to use full web technologies within FileMaker Pro, including PHP. It supports the SQL command set supported by the FileMaker engine when using ODBC. You can use it for creating portals without the need for relationships (just name the database, table and fields you want to display), or use Javascript and PHP for creating graphical environments for charting, scheduling, (seehttp://fmscheduler.com/) a graphical webmail client, bar codes (including QR Codes), or any other web based technology within FileMaker Pro 13. Synergize has is it's own webserver integrated wit…

Anyone using the BaseElements plug-in with variables on Windows? I've been trying off and on for a week to pass filenames to the copy and move functions in the simple form: BE_CopyFile ( $From ; $To) BE_CopyFile and BE_MoveFile work fine when the filenames are literals (e.g., BE_CopyFile ( "C:\temp\file.txt" ; "C:\testdir\file.txt") ) But try as I might, I can't come up with a combination of text in variables that will be acted upon. And (frustratingly) the function only returns "?" on each and every combination ... which is absolutely no help in figuring anything out. Goya (probably justifiably) doesn't offer any support for this free and open sour…

Dear All! I am trying to use FileMaker to import directly scanned documents (hard copies & images) into a container field. Anyone knows how to do it without saving the scanned images to hard disk or through Adobe Acrobat and then Import /Insert into the record field?: At the moment I have Epson & Kodak scanners! Is the issue with the scanner manufacturer to provide some kind of twain drivers??

Hi all, Does anyone know of a FileMaker plug-in for facilitating data exchange between FM and Peachtree? I googled but came up empty handed. Also, any preferences on plug-ins for using bar code readers? Thanks in advance!

I am just returning to FileMaker after a couple of years elsewhere. What is the FileMaker community using to encrypt text and container fields? A few years ago, I used Troi Encryptor on text fields but don't remember it doing container fields. Complete file encryption would be fine too if you have any suggestions about that. Thanks Mel

Hi, I was wondering if I could find some technical assistance on this forum. I am trying to install the Barcode X plugin from peninsula group onto my filemaker 12.

Hi there, I have used the filemaker example script to install / update plugins for users. On windows the script works perfectly, but on Mac it fails with error 1551. I decided to try and install the plugin manually following the details for plugin locations found here: http://www.filemaker.com/help/13/fmp/en/html/create_db.8.55.html#1052437 we are using filemaker pro advanced v13, so according to FM documentation, the path for installing plugins on a MAC should be : Macintosh HD/Users/user_name/Library/Application Support/FileMaker/FileMaker Pro Advanced/13.0/Extensions The problem is, that path does not exist on any of our Mavericks installs (…

Hi everyone, I'm developing a FileMaker Pro Advance 11 plugin in C++ to dynamically set the papersize, orientation and scale for printing in Windows. I'm using an available component "PrinterSettings.h", "PrinterSettings.cpp" to implement that. However my plugin can only successfully update those settings for the default windows printer and then the default settings of "Print Setup" in the menu "File/Print Setup" always overwrite the values. What should I do to remove the overwritten settings of FileMaker Print Setup? So the print statement in FileMaker always uses the settings updated via my plugin. Thank you in advance.

I could probably implement one myself, but I am sure it will take upwards of a couple of weeks or so to have it working with a semblance of reliability. What I am after are pretty rudimentary stuff like how long a user was online, what fields they edited, what layouts they visited, if they searched for anything. And kind of an aggregator, a report that is on all that. And hopefully not a big hit in terms of system resources, which is another factor for me to look for something outside of my own development.

Hello I think I found a solution for a connection between FileMaker and QuickBooks (FM books connector). The video provides an overview how to push a customer from FM into QuickBooks using the FM books connector.

I'm experimenting with FileMaker 12's Install Plug-in[] script step, and I'm running in a little problem. I can't figure out how to uninstall a plug-in. This is FMP 12v3 on OS X 10.7.5. I look in the Extensions folder and there's far fewer there than are listed in FileMaker's Preferences dialog, and the Get ( InstalledFMplugins ) function returns a different list than either of those two (actually it looks like it's those two combined). Searching for the plugin name using Spotlight oesn't turn it up either. What am I missing? DJ

I've been a loyal user of Secure FM to manage the menus in my applications. It provides more control over the menus than the FM Pro options. However, they do not offer a plugin for Macs for FM12 yet, and have told me they may not ever have one for FM12/Macs (they do have one for PCs). Are there any other options that provide the same 'total' control over the FM menus for Mac?

Hi I have a script which involves several procedures including ftp transfer of files from the internet, importing said files, assigning serial numbers to records, sorting those records......

Hello I need to add sales rank data (stored in Filemaker) into a PDF catalog. I'm wondering if there's a Filemaker plugin that can handle this or if this needs to be done completely in Acrobat (or another PDF software) or in In Design where the PDF is originating. My guess is that the sales rank data would either be a comment or possibly a hyperlinked popup. I currently have the following data in Filemaker: Item number, Catalog page number, Sales rank The PDF Catalog has several items on each page with both text and images in different places on each page. Is there a way to associate the sales rank data with the item number text on the PDF as eithe…

If you're interested in using plugins for web publishing, and you're running FMS/A in 64-bit mode, there's a couple issues you should be aware of. The SDK for 64 bit plugins was just released a couple weeks ago and most developers have yet to update their plug-ins (though I'm sure are all working on it). Since Custom Web Publishing runs as a 64 bit process, basically, you can't use plug-ins on it yet. And, once updated plug-ins are released, they now get installed in a brand new location that is almost completely undocumented. Plug-ins for CWP now go into a new folder, NOT /publishingengine/wpc/Plugins (that's just for IWP now), but /publishingengine/cwpc/Plugin…

Is anyone using plugins on FMS 12 triggered from the web publishing engine? I've been trying to get some working without success. I'm pretty confident my installation and tests are correct. Plugins in the /wpc/Plugins folder, FM Server is updated to v2, testing on both Windows and Mac. A function call from a scheduled script or locally runs fine, but a function call from WPE initiated script fails (both XML and PHP). If you're actually using a plugin on Server 12 that's called from the WPE, I'd love to know. Thanks, DJ

Has anybody managed to post ad listings to ebay using FileMaker and a plug-in, or some other method? It requires a "Content-type: multipart/form-data;" Post. It looks as if Troi URL could do this, but I can't tell. There is also a JavaCompanion plug-in, which may work (if you knew Java, which I don't). The method we'd be using would be (at first anyway) that outlined in the ebay FileExchange reference. I may (probably will) subcontract this part of the operation, as I'm woefully ignorant of writing raw http commands. The example ebay gives: POST /path/to/upload/script HTTP/1.0 Connection: Keep-Alive User-Agent: My Client App v1.0 Host: https://bulks…

I was trying to use the MBS Filemaker to download and save a file from a web viewer, and was having trouble getting it to do what I wanted (the problem was almost certainly on my end). After a bit of back and forth Christian, the developer, emailed me a new version of the plugin with a function to allow me to easily do what I was trying to do. I'm very impressed!

I understand this is a bug with the plug-in, where Moo_FolderList() will work first time, and subsequent tries returns a garbage result or crashes FM completely. So my question is this, is it possible to set a script to restart the filemaker environment after each time you use this plugin, while avoiding the user having to log back in everytime? Or would I be better off just achieving the same thing with vbscript rather than using an unstable plugin? Thanks:)

Hello 1. Just being curious. Has the mooplug development been stopped for good? Will it be payware? 2. The bug tracker forum is closed. This makes it difficult to check if there are any serious bugs in the software. Well.... but the mooplug is one fine piece of software. Thanks for that. bye bye Robert

Hi, I am undertaking a massive project of converting dozens of PDF books into text-searchable PDF's, then having the text extracted by outsourced employees into their various categories, and then importing them into an FM database for personal use. The problem as you know with OCR, is that words often come out with irregular spacing such as this text; O n e c o p y of Sheet 7 (page 55) p e r g r o u p of four. O n e paper fastener for each group. O n e dice p e r g r o u p The regular FM spellchecker won't pick up the the mistakes if letters are spaced out, each by themselves. Other applications exist to do this job such as Aftersca…

Hey folks, does anybody have experience connecting FileMaker to an Exchange Server for getting Emails? What Plugins are out there? I just found the Exchange Manipulator plugin from productive computing. Any experience with that? Alternatives? Thanks a lot. To clarify: I don't want to use the POP3 protocol, but connect directly to Exchange.

I'm looking at calendar options for my FileMaker solution and have decided to either integrate SeedCode's bolt-on native FileMaker calendar or use their Zulu plugin on the server with iCal for the desktop. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, so I'm curious to hear from others who have faced this challenge. I'm leaning towards Zulu so that our employees in the field can access calendar information from the native iOS Calendar application. To the best of my knowledge, SeedCode's native Calendar doesn't work on FileMaker Go. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. The major disadvantage I see to Zulu is not having access to FileMaker data or the abil…

Now you can safely hand out your Filemaker solutions or offer them as a download from your website! This plug-in adds copy protection, licensing and purchasing from within your Filemaker solutions. Anyone can try your solution, but after the trial period they need to purchase a license. You do not need to invest in payment software, payment security, everything, even VAT, is handled by the plug-in, and done in cooperation with the eSellerate webstore. For your network clients you can rest assure that if a client expands his network, they will buy the extra licenses needed. At this moment the Plug-In is Mac only. A Windows version is in development. Protect…

We just wanted to let you know that we released a plug-in which enables you to copy contact details (all details or only a selection) from the Apple Address Book to a Filemaker database or vice versa. You can either copy/update individual contacts or all contacts in one go from the Address Book to a Filemaker Database (or the other way round). We have also included a ‘people-picker’ to select contacts from the Address Book right within your Filemaker solution. This looks great for the end user, works very user friendly, and gives you the option to make a Filemaker solution without a Contacts database, because the connection works both ways. Included in the download…

Help!! Long ago before server-side-scripting and event triggers, in Filemaker 8, we built a dedicated server box to host Dacon's Mailit and Scriptfire plugins. Everything was peachy, until we upgraded to Windows 2007 and Filemaker 10. I was forced to rebuild the script-box and install the latest Scriptfire plugin. Since the rebuild, I have to re-initialize every script after a reboot or crash of the application. This is quite annoying as we have a monthly routine which the Filemaker Server is rebooted. Rather than rebuilding all my scripts for the server-side scripting, I'd rather continue using a dedicated scriptbox. However I cannot for the life of me fig…

Created text field to hold path. On windows it looks like /C:/Documents and Settings/David/Desktop/David/test/ I run ListAllFiles and MoveOrRename on windows and it works. When it runs on Mac it fails. I do not understand why since we put fmx in Extensions. Do I need to download and install a new copy of SM or shouldn't putting my fmx in the Macs extension folder work as well? /Macintosh HD/Users/USER/Desktop/David/test/ Ideas please on what is wrong with the path?

Hi, This db uses the Troi File Plugin to create folders, delete and rename files, in the file server of the local network. Now the client needs to be able to do the same but in their remote web server in order to have some files available on their web site. They currently do this manually by using an FTP program, but they want to make this process automatic using FM. What plug in would be recommendable for doing this? I also had a look at 360 Supercontainer, but I don´t think folders can be created and files renamed and deleted with this product, am I right? Thanks in advance! TJ

Hello all, I just discovered the free plugins from 360 by downloading scriptmaster, as I was looking for a way for fm to capture a photo taken from a webcam (logitech quickcam zoom)to be put straight into a container field. I didn't find that, but I saw the "move or rename file", so I thought I could place a button above my container field that would rename & move the picture I just took, then go to the container field & insert picture with the new name. But I cant get move or rename to work, keeps coming back with a 0 (error), both after I register the function & make a script to call it or just trying it out in scriptmaster (by clicking green …
