Plugins and CWP XML?

[Drew Sanderson]

When I submit this to the server:

http://filemaker.domain.com/fmi/xml/fmresultset.xml?-db=fileName&-lay=log2&-script=testbe&-findall

With the script testbe consisting of:

Go to Layout ["log2" (log)]
New Record/Request
Set Field [log::result; BE_Version]
Set Variable [$$id; Value:log::id]
Enter Find Mode []
Set Field [log::id; $id]
Perform Find[]

A question mark is set to the result field.

 

This script works as expected on FMPA 13 when run  from Manage Scripts and when called with PSOS by another script. The version number of the plugin is set to the result in these cases.

 

This is a simple test to see if I could use the BaseElements plugin with CWP XML. It is not working.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks,
Drew

Do you have the plugin installed in the CWP Extensions folder?

(different than the SASE Extensions folder)

 

 

As an aside: if you are just using the URL to run the script, then don't use -findall but -findany.  Much quicker

Thank you Wim!!! That did it... 

 

For anyone else... plugins for use with CWP go into:

• Windows: [drive]:Program FilesFileMakerFileMaker ServerWeb PublishingpublishingenginecwpcPlugins
• Mac OS: /Library/FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/publishing-engine/cwpc/Plugins/"

I added the plugin, then on my mac server I used cd to get to the directory in terminal and ran this command:

sudo chown -R fmserver:fmsadmin BaseElements.fmplugin/

Then rebooted the server.
