IWP specific Layout

[smishler]

I want to use IWP for finding and browsing records. As such, I would like to have IWP use a different layout than my default layout in Filemaker. Since I use Guest to access IWP, I was wondering if Guest could be taken to a specially formatted layout. Thanks.

Create a script that is run every time the file is opened. (IWP treats a new session as opening the file from scratch). Then, just check for the privelige set name, e.g.

 If Get(PrivilegeSetName) = "xxx"

   goto layout "theIWPLayout"

 else

  goto layout "other layout"

end if

Another option is to check if the user is accessing the database via IWP.

In the script use the Get ( ApplicationVersion ) function which will return "FileMaker Web Publishing x.x"

I generally have an open script that reads

If [ PatternCount ( Get ( ApplicationVersion ) ; "Web" ) ]

	Go to Layout [ IWP LAYOUT ]

Else

	Go to Layout [ FMP LAYOUT ]

End if

This searches for the word "Web" in the application version and performs the appropriate task based on that.

And this can also be used, as with xochi’s method, in any script to perform different tasks for FMP users and IWP users.

I hope this helps.
