Adam Dempsey Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'm going to try find some time to work on MooPlug (http://mooplug.com/) again soon and just wondered what anyone thought would be useful stuff to work on? Anyone have any particular functions/features they would like me to add/improve? Any feedback is welcome }:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Lol. Well if you get really bored you might want to try make it server sided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Oh... ohhhh. Or better yet, chuck custom dialogs in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Dempsey Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Not sure how to go about making it server-side, I'll try looking into it How exactly are you thinking about custom dialogs? How different would they be to the current ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I think that just the things you list as coming soon: at the bottom of your page, would make the plugin very useful to me. moving entire folders would be really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Dempsey Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Ah yea, I'll look into that again, left that before for some reason, forget why now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 How exactly are you thinking about custom dialogs? How different would they be to the current ones? Well the main dialog that would be really useful is date range selection with drop down calendars. But you'd have to deal with differing date formats. I.e. Produce Report: Start Date _______[_] To End Date: ________[_] Continue Cancel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 :iagree: Actually you would need to make it so that it accepts the data passed even if the button chosen wasn't the default as FMP only accepts Data in a Dialog box when the default button is pressed.

Adam Dempsey Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'll try look into ways of making dialogs : Think that would be a popular addition. Also OS X compatability is something I am going to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lance123 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hi, Yes you get my vote on the server side compatibility. And also the cross platform! Thanks, Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadow Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) Here's an idea for a dynamic SetField as an external function. dynamic SetField post I'd also like to see the ExecuteSql() api available in your free plug-in, and have it work on MacOS so I could use it.

Adam Dempsey Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 My plan is to continue some work on the OS X version soon : Just need to find some time as always . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laudmusic Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Well Mac OS X definitely. FTP Upload and Download. Also with this in mind, background processing. There's no plugin out there now that is really background processing having to deal with files. You cannot have to wait for 10 files to upload and download. It needs to be in the background. None of the plugin developers are getting this. Dumb...be the first, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Well it wouldn't be a plugin if you couldn't get a result back into FM... If you want it to happen in the background, write some applescript and execute it - this is not the purpose of plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Dempsey Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 I have been looking into FTP Uploading in the background if possible. I do kind of agree with you Genx, but I would at least like to try make it an option to do it in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Well the only issue is - what happens if it fails, how would you feed that back into FM... For example, any time I do a FileMaker upload, I have to return a success or fail (i use the vbscript plugin atm) and then proceed in the script based on that success or fail (retry x times and then report the error to the user if it fails after that). Take a scenario for example where the user might do 2 or 3 uploads - okay the FTP upload processes in the background, they've just started the third upload when suddenly, a dialog relating to the first upload pop's up telling them their upload failed (supposing that a dialog would pop-up to report the error to the user). They keep clicking their first upload while not realizing the previous one had failed. Don't get me wrong, i'm sure it would be useful, but if you integrate it in that fashion, could you add some sort of boolean switch i.e. "wait".

Newbies TSvP Posted August 3, 2007 Newbies Share Posted August 3, 2007 (edited) 1.) any kind of manual/ read-me/ how-to (most functions are obvious, but what about options/ error-codes etc) 2.) RENAME file thanks for your work, tsvp. Edited August 3, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Dempsey Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 (edited) I am working on a Readme/Howto file. There isn't a specific rename file function, there is a move file you could use instead though. Edited August 3, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
