new_user Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 I'm trying to configure a Filemaker database so that users can log in via the web and view certain records based upon a calculation for custom web privileges that I've set up (each user account has a slightly different calculation). I've also enabled Instant Web Publishing. That part works fine. (I also enabled Instant Web Publishing.) The problem is that the records that are screened out also appear, though they have the notation <No Access> rather than the actual information contained in their record. My question is how can I easily suppress the display of these <No Access> records. Thanks. no access instant web publishing calculation for custom web privileges FileMaker Version: 7 Platform: Windows XP
Reed Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 you would have to script the user's actions to control the found set that appears. Menu commands such as "show all records" would have to be disabled, and replaced with your own script which would find all records to which the user has access. All subsequent finds would have to constrain that found set.
Carlisle Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 I can do this, but limited access users can't enter information in find mode. Full access users can. ANy hints? FileMaker Version: Dev 7 Platform: Mac OS X Panther
cellmaker Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 Carlisle - Generally, I assume that web users have no clue as to how Filemaker works and I therefore avoid using "find" at all (even for FM clients, when possible). Instead, I try to constrain via relationships/calculations what any user can see. If you're providing a generalized search capability (say you have an open table or tables of catalogued information), I would allow the user to set globals and then use those globals behind the scenes to return a found/constrained set.
Rushhour Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 Hi This post is similar with my problem. I tried ommiting records and by performing find by Exact (Lower(Get(AccountName)); Lower (RecordOwner)) but just can't get it right. Can someone help me with it.. Thanks a lot.. Kelvin
