I have a web shop. Once the customer has confirmed his/her order it is supposed to send it as a mail to the customer and the shopholders. It used to work fine, but then the mailserver here where I work was replaced by a new one, and after that it's not working anymore. I changed the mailhost IP adress in the mailform code (in the html page) to the IP of the new mailserver but it still isn't working. Is there anything else I could check? What could be wrong??! This is the mailform code: <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="FMPro" NAME="checkoutform"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-db" VALUE="Orders.FP5"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-format" VALUE="thanks.htm"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-error" VALUE="checkout.htm"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-lay" VALUE="CGI"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-token" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-recid" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Order ID" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-edit" VALUE=""> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailhost" VALUE="ipadress"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailfrom" ALUE="company@mailadd.com"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailcc" VALUE="company@mailadd.com <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailbcc" VALUE="me@mailadd.com <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailto" VALUE="[FMP-field:Customers::Email]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailsub" VALUE="KB Design Bestilling"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailformat" VALUE="emailorder.txt"></FORM> Any help really appreciated! THANKS!!

Sorry if this isn't the right forum, but I am working on two different FileMaker projects. One is a web shop and the other is a project database. Now we have them on two separate pc's, but how do we make both of them work on the same computer? Do we need extra software? (We now have Filemaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited). Both projects are web projects. This is a little urgent, so any help is deeply appreciated. Thanks!

Well I need a script like that to go automatically whenever a new record is created in the order.fp5 database.. without having to click a button.. is that possible? How?? And could you be so kind and cut & paste the script you're using?? I tried, but I don't seem to get it right.. Thanks! I'd be very grateful!!

I'm sorry, I forgot to say that the shop is based on FM, but it is accessed through HTML/CDML pages... when the customer is finished ordering he/she clicks "Confirm" and then the shop automatically sends a copy of the order via e-mail to the customer. The e-mail is sent from an HTML page using a txt-file like this: [color:"blue"] <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="FMPro" NAME="checkoutform"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-db" VALUE="Orders.FP5"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-format" VALUE="thanks.htm"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-error" VALUE="checkout.htm"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-lay" VALUE="CGI"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-token" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-recid" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Order ID" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-edit" VALUE=""> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailhost" VALUE="ipadresse"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailfrom" VALUE="mail3@address.com"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailcc" VALUE="mail@address.com"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailbcc" VALUE="mail2@address.com"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailto" VALUE="[FMP-field:Customers::Email]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailsub" VALUE="Order"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailformat" VALUE="emailorder.txt"></FORM> And this is how the txt file looks (emailorder.txt): [color:"blue"] Thanks for ordering, your number is: [FMP-field:Order ID] date: [FMP-field:Order Date]. You ordered these items: Antall | Artikkelnr | Artikkelnavn | Pris | Ext. Pris ------------------------------------------------ [FMP-portal:Ordered Items] [FMP-field:Ordered Items::Quantity] | [FMP-field:Ordered Items::Product ID] | [FMP-field:Ordered Items::Product Name] | [FMP-field:Ordered Items::Formatted Price] | [FMP-field:Ordered Items::Formatted Total] [/FMP-portal] SUM: [FMP-field:Formatted Total] Your personal details: ------------------------------------------------ Kunde ID: [FMP-field:Customers::Customer ID] Name: [FMP-field:Customers::FirstName] [FMP-field:Customers::LastName][FMP-if:Customers::Organization.neq.] Organisasjon/firma: [FMP-field:Customers::Organization][/FMP-if] Adresse: [FMP-field:Customers::Address] [FMP-field:Customers::City], [FMP-field:Customers::StateProvince] [FMP-field:Customers::PostalCode] Email: [FMP-field:Customers::Email] Will the SMTPit send the mail for me the same way? Or is there something else I can do to fix this?? Thanks for your help.

Nope... that didn't make any difference.. what did you mean by "check SMTPit" ?

The shop uses a txt file as template for the mail... so you're saing that I could use an HTML document instead... and that might do the trick? I'll give it a try...

I have a shop in FM. When someone has ordered something he/she get's an e-mail with a copy of their order. The shop is in Norwegian, and when some of the items in the shop have Norwegian letters in them (

Thanks for your reply. Could you explain exactly what I need to do to create a button that deletes all empty records? That would be very helpful. I'm a beginner at this, so I need some extra help. Thanks!!

I have a web shop in Filemaker pro 5.5 unlimited. Every time someone enters the shop (even just to browse) it creates a new record - if the visitor leaves without ordering anything the record is left blank. How do I prevent this? Can the empty record be deleted automatically when the visitor leaves the shop?!

Is it possible to link directly to a FileMaker format page from a regular web site??? If so, HOW??! Any help appreciated! Thanks!

I've created a web shop with FileMaker 5 (it's now hosted on 5.5 unlimited). The shop is supposed to send a confirmation e-mail to the customer once his order has gone through the system. It worked great as long as it was hosted on my machine on the local network, but when I moved it to another computer outside the network it stops sending mail. So I figure the mailhost address is wrong. Does anyone know what to write to make it work?! Here is the code for sending the mail: <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="FMPro" NAME="checkoutform"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-db" VALUE="Orders.FP5"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-format" VALUE="thanks.htm"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-error" VALUE="checkout.htm"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-lay" VALUE="CGI"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-token" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-recid" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Order ID" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-edit" VALUE=""> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Account Number" value=0> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Expiration Date" value=0> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailhost" VALUE="gatekeeper.idefag.no"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailfrom" VALUE="mail1@address.no"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailcc" VALUE="mail2@address.no"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailbcc" VALUE="mail3@address.no"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailto" VALUE="[FMP-field:Customers::Email]"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailsub" VALUE="KB Design Bestilling"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailformat" VALUE="emailorder.txt"> </FORM> NB! I've replaced the e-mail addys here with fake addys. I hope someone can help me out here, I'd really appreciate it!! Thanks!!

Thanks for the reply, I will have another look at it. Does FileMaker search the entire harddrive for the database files or do I have to put a full link to where they are on my computer?! Will filemaker find the database files wherever I put them on the harddrive as long as there are no other files with the same name - even if i put just the name of the files in the documents in the web folder? Thanks for your time!

I'm trying to figure things out with custom webpublishing and CDML. Why is it that whenever I make changes to the page I've set in the Web Companion, I have to rename it and set the new page in the Web Companion to see the changes at http://localhost?!?! This is REALLY annoying!! Can anyone tell me why, and how to prevent this?! Thanks!!

Hello, I'm very new to FileMaker and have never created a database for the web with custom publishing. I have a database with 3 fp5 files (I use FMP 5.0 v3). I have created format HTML files with tags for each field. Here is what one page looks like: ------------------------- (html) (head) (title)

I have a related database with a total of four fp5 files. The database should be accessible over the web and also through the network.. only thing is that whenever I set the sharing in the fp5 files to "Multi-user" FileMaker Pro 5 crashes when I re-open the files. If I go back to "single-user" it works fine... The network admin and I still haven't figured out which port to use.. he opened port 591 but FMP still tells us to use a different port... could this be the reason why FMP crashes when using "Multi-user" sharing? Could there be other things causing this - or should I maybe re-install FMP - could that make a difference?! Also - I'm not able to view the default html page..
