Runtimes and Plugins.... options?

[Cabinetman]

Ok, so I just saw that runtimes don't allow for the use of plugins.

Not happy...... if what I read here was correct. :

In my database currently I have an option to send out emails using SMTPit. Several others would like to use my database but since they don't want to invest in FMP I thought I'd go as a runtime.

What options are there? I know I can go with the 'Send Mail' script step but a couple of them use AOL... not sure that'd work.

Ideas are always appreciated!!

I don't think that's correct. The only thing FMP has to say about runtimes and plug-ins is:

External function plug-ins can be enabled in the Preferences dialog box.

To me, this infers that plug-ins can be used in runtimes.

Have you tested a runtime yet?

I haven't gotten quite that far yet....

I was in the process of modifying the directory structure, etc. and thought to check.

I did a search here in the forum and saw a message that they weren't supported......

Although after reading in entirety and checking th dates maybe you can...

If so does the directory structure have the same 'Extensions' older?

Just made a simple one real quick and see that it does... Guess I'm ok but we'll see....

Runtimes do support plugins. The thread you linked spells it out.
