User Accounts 2

User Accounts 2


A user administration for FileMaker

User Accounts 2 is a FileMaker module which manages FileMaker user accounts via a user table. A few years ago, we already developed another module for this task. However, the new User Accounts 2 module is simpler and more flexible.

  • FileMaker-based user management
  • Management via a user table
  • Each user gets their own FileMaker account
  • The module synchronizes table and FileMaker accounts
  • Complete login strategy
  • Structured as a FileMaker module for easy integration
  • No support for expiring passwords (for this there is FM Starter 2)

The following animated GIF shows how a new account is created. The account also appears properly in the FileMaker security settings.

Implementation

The module has step-by-step instructions in the script directory. This means that the module can be quickly integrated into your solution.

PhoneNumbers Pro

PhoneNumbers Pro


Formatting phone numbers in FileMaker Pro

PhoneNumbers Pro is a FileMaker module that can be used to format phone numbers. To do this, you create a definition for each type of formatting that can then be applied to telephone numbers. Any number of definitions can be created. Each definition can be selected via a code and is therefore available wherever the module is installed.

All codes can be tested with sample data sets. The example data records are in a separate table, which means that new definitions can be created and checked during operation.

FM Registrations 1.31

FM Registrations 1.31

FM Registrations 1.31 was released today. The free update has some improvements and bug fixes and comes with a revised example file for integration. The update is free for all registered users who purchase the product directly from their order kursiv-software.com can download.

Unlock codes for your own FileMaker solutions

FM Registrations creates encrypted registration codes for your own FileMaker solutions. With FM Registrations you create software profiles, register customers and generate unique registration codes with which your customers can activate your software. If desired, FM Registrations transports many parameters in encrypted form, such as an expiry date, the number of users of the software or other settings. These are then decrypted again by the end user during registration and are available as parameters in your solution. You can use it to set expiry dates, renew, upgrade to multi-user solutions or even activate new function groups – all using a licensing code directly in FileMaker.

WordPress REST API, JSON and FileMaker Pro


WordPress and FileMaker

A sample file for the interaction between FileMaker Pro and the WordPress REST API. It is not a ready-made solution, but the file shows different approaches. In particular, the processing of JSON data is shown. This file can therefore also be seen as a learning file for JSON processing in FileMaker.

  • REST API interfaces for WordPress and WooCommerce
  • Read data into FileMaker (Insert from URL / cURL: GET)
  • Break down JSON data
  • Save JSON data to records
  • Rebuild JSON data from a table

Die Interaktion zwischen FileMaker Pro und Web-Technologien wird durch JSON drastisch vereinfacht. Die Kenntnis von JSON hilft bei der Integration mit vielen Webservices durch eine standardisierte Schnittstelle. Alle hier gezeigten Techniken gelten nicht nur für WordPress, sondern auch für viele andere Dienste.

License key for FileMaker solutions

License key for FileMaker solutions

How do you create licenses for your own Filemaker projects? This task is taken over by the new FM Registrations. FM Registrations creates unique and encrypted license codes with which your customers can activate your Filemaker solutions quickly and easily.

Multiple licenses for standard solutions

The typical application for FM registrations concerns standard solutions that you want to sell multiple times. For example, if you have brought an address management system, a CRM solution or any other Filemaker project to market maturity, then it is then a matter of simple licensing and activation for several customers. You can publish a test version with limited functionality on the Internet, which can be activated with a license code. After purchasing a license, you provide the customer with an activation code.

The option of «licensing» software almost always includes a registration of the licensee and a definition of what exactly should be activated. For example, the following scenarios are conceivable:

  • Protection of your own software
  • Activation of a full version
  • Activation of modules or functions
  • Activation of an update
  • Activation of a new expiry date
  • Activation of further users
  • etc.

 

Registration, activation and configuration

FM Registrations allows several things at the same time: The application has an integrated address database for licensees, it allows the activation of a Filemaker solution and also allows the configuration of your software with the help of information from the license key.

All tasks are well documented and can be easily integrated into your own solutions using the example file.


QuickFind

QuickFind


QuickFind is a general purpose implementation of the Quick Find feature in FileMaker.

  • Easy installation
  • Works on any layout without customization
  • Complete quick search functionality
  • Search-while-typing: switch on or off.

This is how it works

There are instructions in the scripts on how to quickly import the solution into your own FileMaker file. Then copy the objects from the sample file to the same page in your own file. This provides a working set of fields and setting on demand.

Now copy the bar with search field and other icons to any page and you are ready to search.

Bullet Field

Bullet Field


Password fields in FileMaker Pro

BulletField is a module that can be used to convert a text field in Filemaker into a password field. A shadow field is used for this purpose, and the input is copied over from the input field to the shadow field, after which the input in the input field is replaced with “bullets”.

In current versions of Filemaker, this module is no longer required, as every text field in the inspector can be made a password field.

Implementation

The module file contains a complete description of the structure and usage of the solution, step-by-step instructions and examples. Check it out there.

  • Bullets or any other characters (- - # +, etc.)
  • Works on all platforms
