Ok... I've been trying to setup a database to be viewable via the web.

Unfortunately there is not much help from FMP on this...

Setup:

FMP5 Unlimited & WSC-IIS

OS - NT4.6a

WS - IIS

I don't know how to display a field's value on the web. This is driving me nuts! I've downloaded Brian Dunnings "CDML" Master Class which helped me alil' but I just can't get the ******* thing to work. I'm not sure if it's a setting or what! I've already set up the Admin to host that particular database. I've set up the database as directed in the WSC connector PDF. The Form properties are right... I tried creating a test, but nothing seems to work. I've got to be missing something! Everyone else seems to have it under control.

Can anyone help? I'm ready to scratch the whole thing and give up!

I have enabled Instant web publishing and I am getting the default FMP Home page... It looks great, but I need to create my own page... the web companion nav is garbage.

If you need your own page... you probably need to turn off Instant web publishing and go to Custom.

Gotcha! Soo.... I've started using the CDML tool, but I can't get any information out of the database... I'm following all the directions... The HTML Code looks correct. But no info...

Please forgive me for my ignorance here. I've created a basic HTML document using the CDML tool. The CDML resides in a form...

Here is the HTML code I'm using... Shouldn't this work? Or am I doing it wrong?

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>None</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<H2>Show me stuff...</H2>

<P><FORM ACTION="FMPro" METHOD="post">

<P><INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-DB" VALUE="bammo.fp5">

<P><INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-recid" VALUE="[FMP-currentrecid]">

<P><INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-lay" VALUE="Layout #1">

<P>Field Name1<BR>

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="First Name" VALUE="[FMP-Field: First Name]">

<P>Field Name2<BR>

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="First Name" VALUE="[FMP-Field: Last Name]">

</FORM>

</BODY>

</HTML>

To get this format file/page to "work" you can call it with this URL:

http://IP:port/FMPro?-db=bammo.fp5&-lay=Layout%20#1&-format=thepage.html&-findany

For "The Page" to submit to the database you will need an Action Tag, e.g.:

<input type="submit" name="-edit" value="Edit Rec">

You will also need to name a Format file in the FORM, e.g.:

<input type="hidden" name="-format" value="thepage2.html">

All the best.

Get a copy of Home Page 3. It's NLA but it makes learning this stuff simple IMHO. Look around the web for the Trial version -- it's easy to get more than 30 days out of it.
