Why are the [FMP-tags] showing on web page ?

[cinolas]

I am setting up a simple searchable DB using Custom Web Publishing. I started from simple examples provided in the book "Database Publishing with FileMaker Pro". Somehow the pages are served but the [tags] are not replaced by the appropriate info, they appear as text on the page...

What could be the problem ?

I bet it's quite simple. I have done this before but it's a bit rusty...

Thanks

You are viewing the pages directly. They need to be processed by Web Conmpanion. To do this you need to specify a URL:

http://www.domain.com/path/FMPro?-db=file.fp5&-lay=layout&-format=file.htm&-view

You might have your tags enclosed within comment tags!

All the best.

KUDOS on the great explanation! I bypassed this question yesterday because I couldn't find the words to explain this problem/solution succinctly...

After you've answered it a million times you'll have it all nice and sussinct, too.

It's one of the questions that keep coming up again and again and again. The other one is "When I click on the submit button the form works fine, but why do I get an error when I press return?"

Thank you all !

Turns out I was accessing the page directly... with the proper link syntax the tags are now properly interpreted by FMPro.

Serious question:

I just noticed Vaughan's rating was decreased and that is not right, is it?

Because I didn't voted for him before I put my ***** for him, but it wasn't enough.

I also found, that I cannot change my rating of others if I see I was not fair or too optimistic.

Any ideas?
