My First Video Game I spent some time over the holidays working on a video game/app and am very pleased with how it came out. It’s a version of the classic Spirograph, but you can add multiple moving gears (rotors) to the set-up. You can also make the line weight (on most browsers) very thin, so you […]
The first in a series of articles unpacking the Dropbox to FileMaker app I demoed at DevCon 2015. Links to the unlocked file follow along with tips for working with Access Tokens and OAuth2 in FileMaker web viewers. Background DevCon 2015 has come and gone, and certainly one of the highlights for me was building […]
We’ve recently seen some great examples of modding multi-point Google Maps in FileMaker Layouts. Here are two very slick mods based on our ProMaps template… Filtering (and Color Coding) Based on Found Sets. This first mod was done by Lisette Wilson of Informing Designs; she’s linked ProMaps to SeedCode Calendar so that the contents of the map change as users navigate the […]
This is the beginning of a new, open source project to create a lightweight wrapper for FileMaker Custom Web Publishing designed for use in JavaScript applications. Background: DayBack The release of DayBack for FileMaker last month has started a very exciting time for us here at SeedCode! Bringing the Calendar to a new code base and seeing […]
Coming full circle with JavaScript and SQLexplorer Having the opportunity to work on a project like SQLExplorer has been a highpoint in my FileMaker career. It was a great way to participate in the collective learning of the ExecuteSQL function by the community when it first hit the scene. But, it’s also been a great way […]
JavaScript Functions for Speed and Profit The movie below is from one of our most popular demos from “Year in Review” at DevCon 2014. I was talking about what a breakthrough custom functions were back in 2004 and how they unlocked a whole new kind of code-sharing among FileMaker developers. JavaScript functions in FileMaker may unlock […]
If you haven’t played with flights on Virgin America’s new site you should definitely check it out. A great rethink of the flight booking workflow, it’s also a nice argument for the long-scrolling site. Big, sexy date pickers are dear to my heart. Book a flight. Details on the redesign, Work & CO, and their […]
The FileMaker 13v2 update has generated a lot of excitement about the fmp: protocol now being available for running scripts in all deployment situations. Previously, locally running files handled the protocol differently than their Go and Hosted counterparts. This made some of us a little hesitant to use this powerful new technology. However, it’s not […]
SeedCode’s ProMaps lets you add your own links to Google Maps: users can click on a pin and run your own FileMaker scripts–going to that pin’s record in your FileMaker layout, for example. While ProMaps could always do this for hosted files, FileMaker’s 13v2 update now lets scripts like these run locally, not just when […]
Fish. Shredder. Catch the People. Yes, that is the actual name of the game I made with my 5yr old son. It’s a good name. =) Something that I remember fondly as a child was spending hours in front of my Nintendo playing every game I could get my hands on. My classmates and I […]
