Supercontainer for remote view

Featured Replies

Database is shared using FMPro 10. When accessing remote (outside network using FMP) Supercontainer webviewers do not show images. It is blank.

I'm assuming that is because the web address field setup in my container doesn't contain the address. I don't even know if this is supported.

How do I format the address to show images when remotely accessing outside the local network?

Here is the coding that works on the local network:

"http://"

& "10.0.1.200:8020/"

& "/SuperContainer/Files/"

& "Production01"

& "/" & Sales Orders::Invoice ID

& "?style=info+noupload"

Thanks

10.0.1.200 is an internal IP address. You will need to use an external IP address in order for people outside your network to be able to see your SuperContainer server.

You can also combine those lines into a single one if you want to cut down your breaks a bit!

"http://myexternalip:8020/SuperContainer/Files/Production01/" & Sales Orders::Invoice ID & "?style=info+noupload"

Great Smef. The combined solution is what I was looking for. Will give it a go.

I've set the external ip, the same ip that we access the db from out of network, and still the supercontainer files do not show. Access to the db works fine. Just cannot see the files in sc. Only see blank white squares. Setting is exactly like your example except replaced myexternalip with the actual ip address.

"http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx:8020/SuperContainer/Files/Production01/" & Sales Orders::Invoice ID & "?style=info+noupload"

What am I missing?

I am having the same problem trying to connect remotely, but I also have the same problem when I switch from Browse to Layout and back to Browse. The picture in the webviewer is gone when I come back to Browse mode.

Can anyone help me?

Susie, that's usually a sign that the file didn't upload correctly. Can you verify that it is indeed where it should be?
