Calculations and Scripting Guide [v1.65]

[Michael Petrov]

We are definitely working on more steps and calculations. Better support for time and date functions is high on our list. It will likely be added into FMTouch in the next few updates.

I'd love to see IsEmpty( field ) implemented.

I'm new here so hope this is the right place for this, forgive me if it's not.

I just updated the calculations and scripting guide to be up to date with v1.48. Quite a few new exciting features were added in this version. Download the new version from the first post in this forum topic.

Is there a 'Special Function' for getting the GPS coordinates?

More on my last most....

- Is there a 'Special Function' for getting the GPS Position?
- Can you optionally suppress the GPS location notice stating accuracy?
- Are there 'Special Functions' for Containers?

Thanks for the guide. I'm in the middle of converting a complex solution to FMTouch, and having a current list of script steps and functions is vital. If I had my druthers, there would be some kind of evaluation tool that would import an XML Scripts-only DDR and flag as-yet incompatible steps. It's a real slog digging through a DDR to sort out what is currently possible and not.

Not a complaint, just a wish.

Speaking of wishes, how about adding GET(current date) and GET(current time). One of my most-used layouts deals heavily in timestamps, and not being able to enter these through FMTouch hampers the time-tracking function, where I would like to be able to SET FIELD to the current time/date with a tap.

Thanks for this great app.

Tried to do a calculation like this to sign the results with colors. Like when the result is minus, the the number should be red and so on.
But there is no calculation at all.
I first have to sync with my PC to get the result.
Here is the calculation

If(Gewicht="";"";If((Gewicht / GewichtSOLL)-1 > 0; TextFarbe ((Gewicht / GewichtSOLL)-1; RGB (255 ; 0 ; 0));TextFarbe ((Gewicht / GewichtSOLL)-1 ; RGB (0 ; 128 ; 0))))

Useless to say that it works in FM10Pro

The same with the ddisplay of the date. Would like to see the day like Mon. or Thu. and so on. Sinc the formating in fmTouch is not working it tried it with a calculation.
But this is also not working.
ZeichenLinks ( WochentagName ( Datum ) ; 3 )&"."

"ZeichenLinks" should be Left and "WochentagName" WeekdayName

Are you guys still developing on fmTouch? There are so many bugs. Sometimes i realy become desperate.

So is there any way to sync container fields using FileMaker Server?

I run into the problem that when syncing with filemaker server, there's no method to set the directory to store container fields in.  Even just having a standard directory that Server Sync dumps these files in would be very helpful.

I just posted an updated calc guide to coincide with the release of FMTouch v1.65 on the app store. Enjoy!
