Taking over a new solution from another developer is no simple undertaking and many developers lose their bearings trying to spend time restructuring and enhancing areas that don’t need it. What do we need to fix and what can we still use?
Sometimes there are small changes in different versions of FileMaker as they are released and without careful attention to detail, bugs can crop up. I came across one such minor change recently that has to do with Insert from URL.
With FileMaker 16, Claris introduced the FileMaker Data API into the FileMaker development environment, giving us a powerful new tool for pushing and pulling data in and out of the FileMaker database engine.
Combine the power of Google’s mapping technology and your FileMaker solution with Portage Bay’s Map Widget. In a few easy steps, integrate Google Maps to display interactive location data utilizing Google’s Marker Clustering function along with callbacks to FileMaker.
We released the Map Widget last year, but have just recently published a new overview video to provide an easier way to get an idea of how it works.
Through the years, the concept of favorites has become a standard in most software user interfaces. File browsers, media players, and web browsers all implement some form of favorites in one way or another. As a developer, it’s easy for me to overlook this concept in any application or framework, but in FileMaker, the use of favorites has never really been my favorite.
Congratulations to John Newhoff, newly FileMaker 18 certified developer.
