Viewing portal records on the web

[jeremy_stern]

Hi,

I have a purchase order file with a related line items file associated with it. Offline, I view the line items on the purchase order form through a portal. When I view the file on the web I do not see any of the line items (portal records), just the records on the purchase order itself. Is there a way to view the actual purchase order including the line items.

Thank you very much for your help.

What CDML code are you using?

Hi Anatoli,

Sorry to be so dumb, but I am not using any CDML code. I just enabled the web companion on the files and configured it with whatever options were available. What should I be doing to get it to work properly?

Thanks for replying.

Sorry, I've never used that.

I am using custom publishing only.

Anyone else with tip?

Hi,

I'm viewing portals on the web but I develop FileMaker/HTML pages using Lasso. Instant publishing in FileMaker is very limited. Check out http://www.blueworld.com on Lasso products.

Thanks a lot, Jeff. I'll check it out.

Essentially the WC is Lasso based...

I thought I read that neither instant web publishing nor CDML allowed you to use portals in your web interface.

I checked out Lasso and thought I would try to save the $500! I would think there must be some simple way using the native Filemaker tools to view the portal records. Any other suggestions?

Thanks a lot.

Your choices are either write your own html and embed the cdml tags accordingly (learning curve #1) or learn Lasso and whatever other tools you might need, like a html editor tool (learning curve #2). Another choice is to abandon FileMaker, learn how to run a different database, learn html, learn cgi (learning curve #3). The other choice is to hire a FileMaker Pro developer and have that person do the work.

People from Eastern Europe are quite cheap to hire :-)

Thanks, Anatoli. I will try to do it myself, but thanks for making me laugh. You will be first on my list if I can't figure it out on my own.
