How to use FileMaker to generate MySQL syntax and easily create matching tables in MySQL.
We’d like to welcome Nana Opoku to Portage Bay Solutions as our newest developer. ‘Jojo’ joins us as a senior level FileMaker developer and will be instrumental in helping with our backlog of Rest API projects.
When developing FileMaker solutions, one of the issues that always comes up is the lack of Version control options. How can you use Version control with FileMaker, and what is it? Read this article to find out.
We are pleased to announce the release of our Map Widget v.1.0 product. This is a new tool built natively with FileMaker which can be easily integrated into your existing FileMaker solution. The Map Widget provides you with the ability to display your FileMaker data as locations on a Google Map, using the Google Maps clustering functionality. You can easily interact with the Google Map, click on each pin, display details about the location, and even click a link to return you to that specific record in your FileMaker solution.
If you have been using Google Maps in any of your solutions or projects, you might have noticed some changes recently. You likely received an email announcement from Google letting you know about a pricing change, or you might have experienced a slightly dimmed watermark on your map stating “for development purposes only”. This is a gentle reminder that things have changed of late.
Need to do some data collection from users who don’t have FileMaker? A survey, application, or registration? As with most things FileMaker, there are multiple solutions to this requirement. In this short blog post, I’ll be going over the option of using a web form (such as Google Forms) so that data can be collected on a website, then automatically pushed into the FileMaker database.
