RemoteScripter and FM Go

wlitzau · January 8, 2013

Hello!

I am using Go on an iPad and trying to trigger remote scripter on another machine. This is done easily enough with an open URL script step. What I really want to do is trigger the script without having to leave FM and launch the browser. Anyone have an idea of how to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Wes

I figured out how to do it with a user click. I just used a web viewer with a custom web address. Like this:

"data:text/html," &

"<html>

<body>

<a href="http:/IpOfRemoteScriptMachine:PortNum/">Click Me</a>

</html>

</body>"

I would still like to figure out how to launch it within script steps.

Not sure if it's the best way of doing it, but I did manage to figure out a way to trigger remote scripter from the ipad without leaving filemaker. I added a blank web viewer to my layout and named it Web. Then I use these scripts.

Set Web Viewer [Object Name: "Web";URL: ""]

Refresh Window

Set Web Viewer [Object Name: "Web";URL: "http:/IpOfRemoteScriptMachine:PortNum/"]

Seems to work pretty well.

If anyone has more suggestions, I'm all ears.

wlitzau,

I think the way you're doing it is the best way. If plugins ran on FMGo, then 360Works WebAssistant would be perfect for this application. Alas, without plugins, a webviewer looks like your only choice.
