SuperContainer and Script Triggers

[jptrue]

Hello,

I am unable to get a "script trigger" to fire when adding a file to a SuperContainer field.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Jeff

No, it is not currently possible to trigger a script from a user dragging a file onto a web viewer, as the actual URL doesn't change when that happens, and so filemaker doesn't know to trigger a script.

(people have found some strange workarounds to do this, but it is very unreliable, often fails, and is very confusing to the users.)

A better idea might be to provide an "upload" button on your layout, and then to use the companion plugin to script your upload and trigger whatever other scripts you want triggered when a user uploads a file.

Thanks Smef,

I will give this a try.
