THE SECOND VIDEO on popovers and vertical navigation from Danial Shanahan (Part 1 here). Published on Jan 21, 2014 In this second of two videos I show the tables, fields, scripts, and parameters I used to make this vertical navigation. Download the file at http://newleafdata.com/downloads-fmp…. Worth the watch.
I HEARD RECENTLY that the starter solutions included with FileMaker Pro are not made by FileMaker. Evidently they are contracted out. Anyway, our thanks to UK FileMaker for this video on how to customize those solutions to meet you needs: Published on Feb 7, 2014 The FileMaker 13 Platform is powerful, flexible and able to […]
YET ANOTHER interesting use for a popover. This very simple technique allows you to embed context sensitive video tutorials that your users can watch without ever leaving the screen they are on via ▶ Embedded Video Tutorials in a Popover – YouTube.
FILEMAKER SECURITY is the boring topic not often addressed. Failure to properly address is will lead to disaster. Data protection is top of mind and a priority for business of all sizes. In 2012, the Wall Street Journal sited this alarming statistic, “Firms with 11 to 100 employees are attacked more than ten times as […]
I STILL HAVE clients using Instant Web Publishing (IWP) extensively – the interface has major shortcomings but the price ($0) is right: I’m sure we can think of some examples of where the deployment of Instant Web Publishing [IWP] for a solution has been successful and served to meet purpose for the end user.

THIS LITTLE TRICK saves a lot of time when you need to access FileMaker Help. This has changed in FileMaker 13. The help file is now found here: file:///Applications/FileMaker%20Pro%2013%20Advanced/Extensions/FileMaker%20Help/FileMaker%20Help.bundle/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/FileMaker%20Pro%20Help/index.html Another tip: Write a script that calls the bookmark url and assign it to a keystroke (command-1, for example). That way you can call it even […]
I HAVE to agree – FileMaker did a great job with container fields in V 13. 1. Barcode Scanning FileMaker Go on iOS devices has long permitted users to capture non-text information like photographs and signatures. With FileMaker Go 13, we can use those built-in cameras for something new- scanning barcodes! After the camera obtains […]
Another good post on Popover menu’s – there are lots of ways to use that great little feature to great effect.
INTERESTING LAYOUT ANIMATION TECHNIQUE from Seedcode. There’s a video and download file at the link: The animations introduced in FM13 are great, but they still don’t let us animate the transition from one layout to another. This is something we’re looking for as it’s often used in iOS apps to move from list to detail […]
FILEMAKER DIDN’T SHARE all of the improvements in FileMaker 13. Emory Brown found them for us. FileMaker 13 introduced many new features, including a number of very useful enhancements to the relationship graph, none of which are included in the help file or release notes. This is rather surprising, as several of these improvements to […]
KEVIN FRANKS extends his excellent series of posts on virtual lists – this time showing how to displays 3 columns of the same data in browse mode: Recently a question came up on the FMP Experts list re: the possibility of displaying a found set of customers in 3 columns in browse mode in FileMaker […]
VERY NICE WAY to write server log details to file, including a workaround to a bug that causes improper shutdown of the log service. It turns out that when the Log client statistics…. check box is checked, this data is logged to (on Mac OS) /Library/FileMaker Server/Logs/ClientStats.log. But only when this check box is ticked […]
Karen Weaver: Hi Don! I am pretty sure they have been contracted out since FM7, maybe earlier, but at least that long.…
Don Clark: Thanks for the confirmation, Karen! I read it recently but couldn't find the link.
