dbservices posted a blog entry in DB Services Blog
Many technologies that used to be restricted to a dedicated software have begun moving online, including Claris FileMaker. FileMaker WebDirect is one way you can bring your FileMaker solution straight to the web. We discuss the comparison between FileMaker WebDirect and building a custom web app. In... -
Running the solution with a newly installed FileMaker 18 Server on MacOS X works fine, upgrading to 18v4 the solution still runs well, with one exception; there is no WebDirect. I have toggled all buttons for CWP, DATA API, and WebDirect in the admin console, I have also attempted all th... -
I am exporting an XLSX file via Export Field Contents to download the file. On the desktop, this works perfectly, but on WebDirect, the file is empty (no content). The same routine works well with PDF and other files, I just get this strange behavior with the XLSX file export. Any ideas? Thank you.

What is the easiest way to read parameters supplied with the URL for WebDirect? The goal is for members to receive an URL per email that already contains their ID and the event ID, so WebDirect knows the member and the event and can automatically load the relevant data. Thank you.

Hello, Last week I installed FMS 19.3 on Ubuntu Server 18.04, following the instructions in the article "The Penguin is Back!" The machine is on our internal network, which has no access to the outside world. I expected the performance to be pretty snappy with WebDirect, but that's not what I'...

I would like to use the OnLayoutSizeChange script trigger to control how my WebDirect app window appears on various devices.

Gents, two problems: 1. I can't access my db file using FilemakerGo. Localhost works, Webdirect - doesn't. 2. I can't either access my file via mobile browsers. PC browsers work, mobile - doesn't. Tested on my iPhone with Safari and Chrome. Thanks for help.

Hi, This is a peculiar bug which seems to have appeared with a recent Chrome update. Create a Web Viewer control with the following content: "data:text/html,<html><body bgcolor=\"#EEEEEE\">HELLO</body></html>" Then view the layout in WebDirect in Chrome. You'll notice it doesn't dis... -

Dear All, I'm struggling with the "open url" script step where I am trying to switch between a FileMaker (v17) database in web direct to another website. But rather than opening the web page in the same tab it opens up a new tab. Is there any way to open a web site in a browser in the same tab... -
Hi all, I have a solution running on WebDirect. Each record stores a url that needs to be opened in Internet Explorer only and not other browsers. I know that I can call that url and it will open it in users default web browser. Is there any way of opening it in Internet explorer, no mat...

So I created a solution in Filemaker Pro and its appearance looks great.... until I open it in WebDirect on a web browser. Fields are cut off at the bottom, styles like Condense condense wrong, and rectangle boxes don't show at their full size. Also, the padding spacing on radio buttons is completel...

I have a report in web direct that shows a list of records. An issue I'm having is when the report includes enough records that the page scrolls, when I change the value of a field, and then click to another record, the page refreshes and leaves me at a different place in the list of records. Not ve...

I'm running Filemaker 16 and Filemaker Server 15. In my Webdirect report with subsummaries, there are seemingly random horizontal lines/rules that don't appear in when the report is viewed using the client software.

Hello, I'm testing FMS16 WebDirect with a two files solution (an interface file that loads a data file). When the inteface file opens, it doesn't load the data file. My FMS license has a limit of 1 user connection, that seems to be the issue. Does this means that a two files solution will use...
