Simple Custom Web Form

[chevell]

Ok, I'm trying to set up a simple custom web form that will input its data into an existing FMP database. This used to be relatively simple, but now it seems to be escaping me. I've read the majority of documentation on the matter but seem to be running around in circles. I've got FMSA 7 setup and I'm able to use IWP. All of that is working. I converted an only FM6 cdml site using the converter tool. I just have no idea where to put the xml files within the web site heirarchy and how to call it. I see nothing referencing this in the documentation. Please help!

Hi,

Put all xsl files in FileMaker Server 7Web Publishingxslt-template-files<> folder.

Put the database in FileMaker Server 7DataDatabases<> folder.

in the browser type 'http://<>/fmi/xsl/<>/filename.xsl'

Regards,

MetaSys

Awesome. I'm lightyears ahead of where I was yesterday. Thanks!

Now I'm getting errors with the XSL files. I have no idea what i'm doing there, but that's a whole new area of research.

Consult the FMS7A Custom Web Publishing Guide. Appendix B for the error messages. Everything is there.

OK have the files in the right place but not sure how the web forum that will do the search should look.

Could someone please post an example of how the search page should look before the user hits the submit button i.e. all the html with a few fields.

Thank you.

You may look in the XML/XSL forum, there are several downloadable example files that give a clue.
