Are you looking for a reusable tool to be integrated with your FileMaker solution that provides an easy to use date range chooser popup window? Look no further! Portage Bay has created the Modular Date Range Chooser which can easily be added to your solution, either by copying and pasting the components into your existing solution, or linking the file as an external widget file. I am currently in the process of uploading this to modularfilemaker.org so it will be available to any FileMaker developer.
This blog post covers the second half of the “Modular FileMaker” series, covering a couple of modules we have used from ModularFileMaker.org.
“Modular programming is a software design technique that emphasizes separating the functionality of a program into independent, interchangeable modules, such that each contains everything necessary to execute only one aspect of the desired functionality.”
The protocol format is intended to open shared or local files but it also allows you to run scripts, pass parameters and set local variables.
One of the missing features in FileMaker is the ability to add portal headers that can both sort portals and easily display the ascending or descending sorted order.
