Perhaps I am only the first to have received an announcement of this update to FMStudio Pro from FMWebschool in my email today, Friday the 24th 2013.

As usual the announcement carries an error or two....  Primarily, in one place the announcement says that the 20% off upgrade price is good until the 31st of May and in the original message the "offer expires on May 28th, 2013"....?

There are however, no updates as to Features, Functionality, etc in the upgrade.  Same old content with a facelift on the product page....

Has anyone upgraded to this "new" version and had any quick overview of the product or should I stick with the old version.  I never did understand the "version" announcements on FMStudio anyway.

I assume the new upgrade will feature effortless connectivity to FM Server 12 and functionality improvements with DW6.   I would like to know whether the new version is backwards compatible.  I still run CS3 in some instances and currently connect to a hosted FMP Server 11.

Some info from the folks at FMWebschool would be appreciated.

OK, I'll look at that.  I was hoping for a way to do it in FileMaker so I could use the charting module. 

Not sure how well a sub-summary would work on the web anyway...

Do your find, then set some counters and loop through the records, incrementing them if the right conditions are met. Use those for your reporting...


Very simple version, and could be done in an array instead, but you get the idea - php is very fast at processing a found set like this

I'm probably being thick here but I'm not proud!

I have a database with records that [basically] contain: invoice number, account number, and input date.  I have a web page with a table based login that displays all the records for the account number related to that login - there could be hundreds of records related to each account.

I would really like to display the number of records entered each month for each account (actually I would like to display a 12 month chart using these numbers, but it would use the same data) - but I can't figure out how to calculate the number of records for each month without using a sub-summary.  I'm very rusty on FM and as such am hopefully missing something simple 

Is this possible?

Since upgrading to FileMaker Server 12 and upgrading my server to Mountain Lion Server, I'm having trouble with the Dynamic File Link. 

I've upgraded to the latest version of FMStudio Pro (1.1.3), which fixed upload issues, but I cannot download a file that's stored in a container field.

When I click the link that should download the file, I receive the following:


I can find no reference to this anywhere, and I haven't been able to figure out what sort of authentication is actually needed (nor how to provide it).

Can anyone help?

The new version of FMStudio Pro has fixed the upload problem.  Downloads are still not working, however. 

I will start a new post for that issue, and with luck, someone will have an answer.

Check your php.ini file.  It probably has a maximum file size. 

Use your phpinfo.php to determine which php.ini is being used by your system.  (If your server is like mine, there are several copies of php.ini on the server, but only one is being used by FileMaker.

Once you know which file is being used, you can edit it allow any maximum file size that you'd like.

Forgot to add that if I slow down my php script I get less connection errors... but it still gives me the error 22 on occasion...

I am RANDOMLY getting a FileMaker error 22. It will work for a random amount of time and when I refresh the page a few times and I get the error again.

The FileMaker 12 Server is on a Windows Server 2008 with IIS not Apache...

I looked at the phpinfo();
and the only thing that looked suspicious was the php.ini:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path   C:\Windows
Loaded Configuration File   C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5\php.ini

The PHP pages and the FileMaker Server are not on the same machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

The notes on the download page said: **New in this release: There is a new menu Command under Commands - Install API (FMStudio Pro) FM12. FileMaker Server 12 users, please use this option when installing the API.

I could not find any other release notes either.

It's good to know there is some activity at FMStudio.  I really like their software. 

There is a sale going on for FM Studio Pro through this weekend.  http://fmwebschool.com/fmstudiopro.php
