Sorry Beverly ... I was writing in a panic! FM9A on Win2000. It is the strangest thing ... it has been working fine and the only change I made to the page was to change an image in the header yesterday.

What should I check on the server preferences? I am not using XML specifically, but I believe FX.php uses it.

It appears to be returning the raw XML. Check your server preferences first.
You don't specify what version of FMP you are using.

Hi John,

Having the portal record's foreign key = the primary key of the
current record has always worked for me when it comes to
highlighting / conditional formatting. In Richard's case it is the
same concept only that it is a self relationship based on category.
Therefore pointing the primary key of the portal record to the primary
key of the current record works.

There's not really any passive way for a child record to know it's also a
parent. Filemaker is fairly event driven; you'll need some kind of event to
tell that child the news.

If you're using Filemaker 10, then that event can be loading a record, which
would drive a script trigger. The script would set a global to the value of
the current record's ID. The conditional formatting in the portal row would
be revealed if the ID of the record in the portal row were the same as the
global.

In other words, the formula for the conditional formatting would be:

Record_ID = Global_ID

The script triggered by OnRecordLoad would be:

Set Field["Global_ID"; "Record_ID"]

OnRecordLoad is a layout trigger; it will be called each time you 'page
back' to a different record.

If you are using an earlier version, you'll need to script navigation
between records, and then add the same script step to the nav script.

Identifying the Current Record

2009-11-04T10:51:58Z

Here's a little problem I'm encountering, and I can't figure out a
way around it. Probably I'm just overlooking something obvious.

My problem is that every record thinks that IT is the current record
— or at least it behaves that way — and there seems to be no easy way
to check to find out if it really IS the current record.

To help make this problem statement easier to understand, I'm going
to introduce a new term: "This Record". Let me illustrate what I
mean. Here's a very brief set of records from the "Widget" database:

ID SKU Price x Qty = Cost
11 AAA $0.99 x 100 = $99
22 BBB $2.80 x 200 = $560
33 CCC $0.42 x 300 = $126
44 DDD $5.00 x 400 = $2000

So the AAA record "thinks" that the "This Record" value for Price is
$0.99, the BBB record "thinks" that the "This Record" value for Qty
is 200, the CCC record "thinks" that the "This Record" value for Cost
is $126, and (importantly) the DDD record "thinks" that the "This
Record" value for ID is 44.

Now suppose you click on CCC to make it the current record. As you
would expect, it "thinks" that the "This Record" value for ID is 33.
It also "thinks" (accurately) that the "CURRENT Record" value for ID
is 33.

But what do AAA, BBB, and DDD "think" is the "CURRENT Record" value
for ID? Danged if I can figure out how to compute this and
communicate it to them.

Let me explain just briefly why I'm trying to figure this out. I've
got a database where the records are subsetted into categories. The
specifics don't matter. Let's say the database tracks "Widgets" and
some of the values in the "Category" field are "doohickeys",
"whatchamacallits", "thingamabobs", and "deelybobbers". I call up a
record for a Gold-Plated Framistan Type 2, which falls into the
category "framistans". A link of "Category" to itself enables me to
display a portal showing ALL the framistans in the file, one of which
is, of course, the Gold-Plated Framistan Type 2 that we're currently
looking at.

What I want to do is display a yellow highlight behind the line in
the "framistans" portal on which the Gold-Plated Framistan Type 2
appears. If I then page back to the previous record, for the Platinum-
Plated Framistan Type 1, I want THAT record to be highlighted in the
portal.

How to do this?

Hi Francisco:

I would store the file's path and name in a variable like so:

Set Variable [ $path ; Case ( Abs ( Get ( SystemPlatform )) = 1 ;
"filemac:" ; "filewin:" ) & Get ( DesktopPath ) & "theFileName" &
".XXX" ]
// where ".XXX is the file extension you wish to use
Export Records [ $Path ]

In the Export Records script step, where you can specify an export
file, you can type the path to the file there. You can also type
"$path" for a variable there, and the dialog will accept it. Just
construct the appropriate path in $path and you're in business.

regards,
Darren

I finally read through this thread and decided to check if there are any

which I found from here:

http://thegraffiti.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/optical-mark-recognition-a-handy

Sounds that is needs some effort but that it works.

Also, if it is for schools a lot of people get to use it and maybe one
of them will want to work on it to better adapt it for your purpose.

Certainly solves the initial cost problem,

    ">

    <form name="pgform" action="http://janisrough.dyndns.biz/phooglemapPC.php" method="post">

    <input type ="hidden" name ="q" value="q"/>

    <input type="submit" value="show map"/>

    </form>
    </body>
    </html>

directly in the web viewer I have a calc that substitutes the #q for a serialized & encoded address list.
----calc in wv-------
"data:text/html"& Substitute(address::js_form_gt;"#q";address:serializedLIst)
---------
This should work. I have 2 test scripts and a test file. One I encode the serialized list [var q] and one script I don't encode the serialized list. Custom functions cfURLEncode, cfSerializeData, Trim4.
I create a ¶ delimited URLencoded address list and trimmed trailing and ending ¶'s.

Script 1:I know the web viewer is encoding the javascript form, so i tried not encoding the serialized list . When I run that script, the form gets cut off in the web viewer output starting in the middle of the address list and gets cut off. I'm pretty sure it needs to be urlEncoded:
-------gets cut off and stops processing javascript----------
Lancaster, CA, 93534";i:1;s:34:"3537 3rd St, Ridgefield, WA, 98642";i:2;s:40:"931 Alabama St, san francisco, CA, 94110";}";
    alert(document.forms['pgform'].elements['q'].value);

    </script>
    </head>
    <body onload="
     var frm = document.forms['pgform'];
     frm.elements['q'].value = q;
     document.forms['pgform'].submit();
    ">

    <form name="pgform" action="http://janisrough.dyndns.biz/phooglemapPC.php" method="post">

    <input type ="hidden" name ="q" value="q"/>

    <input type="submit" value="show map"/>

    </form>
    </body>
    </html>
Script 2----------
When I run it with the address list encoded the form doesn't process and I get a blank in the WEb viewer but in layout mode I can see my form that is encoded and the encoded address list in the web viewer. As I said above I can send you the pdf picture. It looks okay to me.

This is a direct POST in the Web Viewer on a PC running FM9 or greater.
It only works on the PC to do a direct post and it has to be 9 or greater.
I have this form running already on a Mac but it is a GET to a POST conversion so its different in that the url is sent to a local path as a GET then converted to a POST. I would love to get the PC version running.

I have this all set up on a test FM 9 Server. If you want to log in as guest and help me figure out this issue you can have the php page so you can print a google map yourself.   fmnet:/janisrough.dyndns.biz/map_4.fp7

I can't see why this doesn't work.

hellpp!

Re: File Name by Calc

2009-11-04T08:41:13Z

In FileMaker 5 we exported the file titled Untitled.xls then renamed
it using an external plugin called Troi File Plugin. It allowed us to
name it with any calculation or field contents we wnated. I am sure
there is something similar in FileMaker 9 or higher.

Re: Creating a dynamic invoice

2009-11-04T06:25:19Z

Hi Rick,

It sounds like your data model is flawed. You need two tables -
Invoice and Line Items. Each line item would need a category
indicator.

To display the invoice you can do it from either the Invoice or the
Line Items table.

From the Line Items table, bring over the Invoice particulars in the
header and show the line items in a summary report sorted by category
(probably the best).

From the Invoice table, you would show a very long portal from line
items sorted the way you want and formatted to reduce the size of the
part on printing.

I finally read through this thread and decided to check if there are any
open source solutions to this problem. I found this one:

http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~a3seth/udai/OMRProj/

which I found from here:

http://thegraffiti.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/optical-mark-recognition-a-handy-tool-for-cross-sectional-research/

Sounds that is needs some effort but that it works.

Also, if it is for schools a lot of people get to use it and maybe one
of them will want to work on it to better adapt it for your purpose.

Certainly solves the initial cost problem,

Re: Creating a dynamic invoice

Rick,

Use a line-item table and then have a category for each line item.
Sort it by that category into their respective sections and total them
in subsummary parts, either as they go (if FMP 10) or in preview mode
(if FMP < 10).

Re: Import a Text File into 1 Field

2009-11-03T19:28:21Z

Getting a text file into a field can use the "Import from a folder
method"... Nominate a folder for the purpose. Within it include
your single text file, nothing else. From Filemaker, use the "Import
Records" script step, nominate "Text-files", then map the source file
into your target field.

Hope that helps.

Creating a dynamic invoice

2009-11-03T19:07:05Z

Hello List.

I am trying to allow an end user the ability to have an unlimited
number of line items within an invoice and have it reflow correctly.

So, currently their invoice is broken into 3 sections to allow for
quoting up to 3 items. Each section has about 1/2 dozen line items.
What they are looking for is the ability to add additional line items
per section on the fly as needed. So for section 1 they, enter their
pricing info and then want the ability to click a button to create a
new blank line item (empty field to type text into) or click a button
to add a drop down menu. In theory, they want no limit on the number
of additional line items they can add per a section.

How can I add a button to "Add A Line Item" to a section? I suppose I
can create a related table that makes a new record each time the
button is clicked. Then the end user can enter their description info
for that line item and add however many additional items they want.
But on the display/print side, how will this work? How do I design
the invoice to accommodate the three sections, with each section
displaying multiple lines of info from a related table? One section
may have 2 related description records... the next section may have 50.

So it may look like this:

----
ITEM 1 - Pencils
Contents:
12 Lead Free Pencils
6 Number 2 Pencils
4 Number 1 Pencils

Cost: $12

----
ITEM 2 - crayons
Contents
Red
Blue
Orange
Green
Brown
White
Indigo
Purple
Black
Lime
Aqua

Cost: $10

----
ITEM 3 - Paper
Contents
100 Sheets Printing Paper
100 Sheet Resume Paper
500 Sheets Photographic Paper
250 Sheets Wrapping Paper
1 Sheet Newspaper

Cost: $40

What's the best way to achieve the above? I know designing with a
fixed number of line items per section would be a lot easier...
especially when it comes to flowing to a 2nd page, but I wanted to see
if others have had similar situations.

Thanks.

Re: Open Remote problems - Reprise

David may be LANing down on the job,

If you check the IP/LAN grouping for the wireless device compared to
the wired devices I think you'll find they are different.

BTW, LAN grouping in a group of 4 would be based on the Subnet Mask,
255.255.252.0, a smaller number gives a wider LAN range.
it would have a typical router address of 69.118.1.1 and the IP range
(LAN group) for this would be:
69.118.1.1 to 68.118.4.255

So if the FMS is in this range of IP but the Wireless device isn't
then the wireless device cannot see the FMS computer as LOCAL and is
not discoverable by Bonjour.

LAN group is my term for this range of IP addresses. There is probably
a scientific name for it but ???

I went back down to the client's today. The offending machine would
not see the host. I entered the IP address for the host in the
favorites section and then it was able to see the host and the file.

So the problem is solved but it still does not tell me why only one
machine had this problem. Oh well, one problem at a time.

Thank you Jason. This was my understanding of "mail-archive.com"'s
terms, and I appreciate your help with finding Dartmouth's contact
details.

Many thanks also for the suggestions and advice I received from other
members of this list.

Have a good day,

Marina,

Since the official list archive has taken steps to protect the sender's email address, in accordance with Dartmouth's Privacy Policy, I believe the archive maintained by "mail-archive.com" violates that policy and would be frowned upon by Dartmouth's General Counsel.

According to the mail-archive FAQ's, anyone can subscribe a mailing list to their service. Also, the mailing list administrator (Dartmouth) can request to have messages deleted from the mail-archive, but the individual posters cannot make this request. Furthermore, Dartmouth can request that the deletion of the entire archive, which I think Dartmouth should do.

I suggest you contact Dartmouth's General Counsel about this matter. Here is their contact information:

Office of the General Counsel

Hanover, New Hampshire 03755

May the conditions have been whatever, in my opinion it is NOT the
CONTENTS of the posts, it's the posters EMAIL address that never
should be unveiled in an archive for at least two good reasons:.
- it is not related or required to the problem or solution of the post
- it is by far made too easy for email harvesters to collect them.

Maybe it's time to think about registering with FileMaker's TechNet
for a few bucks, where posts are NOT freely accessible to the whole
world - left alone the higher quality and other advantages.

Re: FileMaker pricing

2009-11-03T08:31:07Z

Shree

It has always been that way. Just be thankful you are not in Japan –
or worse were not in Japan in the early '90s. Doubled prices were the
norm back then.

Of course, localization was the excuse; but the high prices worked for
the standard English version as well. Unfair? Maybe. Just business?
Again, maybe.

But what always galled me (and FMI are by not the worst offenders by
far; a small business beginning with M is worse) are restrictive sales
practices that prevent cross-market retail sales – so, for example, a
store in the US is not permitted to ship to Japan. And a copy bought
legitimately in, say, the US couldn't be upgraded at all if one moved
to Japan. (All very different now, with the Internet.) Free trade? My
foot!

That's an archive for this list. This is a Dartmouth list. It's
there as a reference for people trying to find solutions to filemaker
problems. Generally, when you sign up for a list you are advised as
to whether or not there is an archive and, if you object to whatever
the practice may be, you have the right to NOT participate. I don't
recall it specifically - it's been some years - but I'd wager that
such a notice was part of the signup process for this list.

So, your position is that when you send information to a thousand
people, it is within your rights to require that they keep the
information secret, although they neither requested your information
nor agreed to the security measures you seem to desire? I don't
think so. Granted, you might have an issue if they made some use of
your information or changed the format of its presentation by, say,
pasting it onto a billboard along a highway, but if the only act is
to archive it you are protesting the act of remembering what you said.

If you send your information to a bunch of people, you demonstrate
that you place no value on your right to privacy so far as that
information is concerned. It's like running naked through a crowd
and expecting no-one to comment. And for you to expect the owners of
this list to exert control over a list or web site that they do not
own strikes me as unreasonable, in the least, and certainly implausible.
