Web Viewer on Filemaker Server

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I hope somebody can help me with this problem as I have tried searching for answers but to no avail.

 

Basically I have a simple contacts table with 3 tabs, details, website and map. When you click on the website tab it loads the contacts website based on info in a field on the details tab. When you click on the map tab it loads a map based on details in a field on the details tab.

 

This works fine on my computer when I test it but I have now uploaded the database to filemaker server and the webviewers don't work with multiple users.

 

Has anyone come across this? I am sure it is just something simple but I am pulling my hair out trying to find out what it is.

 

Thanks

 

James

 

 

 and the webviewers don't work with multiple users.

 

 

 

Can you expand on this?  With the file hosted on the server, does it fail for everyone?  Or does it work for some people but not for other people?

 

Can you give an example of how you construct the URL for the web viewer?

Hi Wim,

 

Thanks for the reply and apologies for being vague.

 

To call the webpage I set web viewer as custom web address using the code:

 

If 
(
 
PatternCount(Contacts::Web Site ; "http://") or
PatternCount(Contacts::Web Site ;"https://"); Contacts::Web Site;
"http://"&Contacts::Web Site
 
)
 
To call the map I set the web viewer as Google maps and use the code:
 
"http://local.google.co.uk/maps?" & "q=" & /*Address=*/ Contacts::Address & ""
 
I tried logging several machines as administrator with full access and my computer is fine but all the other machines the web viewer won't load. So I set up several users with passwords and the same thing happens, I am stuck!
 
Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks 
 
James
