Six Fried Rice Methodology Part 2 – Anchor Buoy and Data Structures

Geoff Coffey's Six Fried Rice Site - Sat, 08/28/2010 - 12:00am
In the last post about the Six Fried Rice methodology I went over the concept of data separation and why we use it.  That is essentially the starting point for how we structure the files of our system.  One file contains all of the UI components and scripts for the system while a second file [...]

Using Global Variables for List Selections

Geoff Coffey's Six Fried Rice Site - Sat, 08/28/2010 - 12:00am
A funny thing happened while I was stumped over the question of how to allow one of our clients to select and deselect multiple items in a list.  Multiple people would be using the list at the same time.  I was struck by the fact that I’ve been making something more complicated than it needs [...]

Dynamic Finds in FileMaker 10

Geoff Coffey's Six Fried Rice Site - Sat, 08/28/2010 - 12:00am
In an earlier article we explored an isolation technique that was specifically designed to work on ID’s and that’s it. There is a lot more that can be done with the new Set Field By Name step and in this article we’ll take a look at a slightly more complex but much more versatile [...]

Script Triggers: Monitoring and Restoring Tabs

Geoff Coffey's Six Fried Rice Site - Sat, 08/28/2010 - 12:00am
FileMaker 10’s new Script Triggers feature just keeps delivering. You might, at first, think triggers are limited to layouts and fields, but it turns out your triggers can fire with all kinds of objects. In this article we’ll show you how to run scripts when users switch tabs on your tab controls. In the end, [...]

Make the Status Toolbar Work for You

Geoff Coffey's Six Fried Rice Site - Sat, 08/28/2010 - 12:00am
FileMaker 10’s most visible new feature is the completely redesigned Status toolbar (formerly called the Status area). Perhaps because of its prominent position, or because it is such a striking departure from a 20-year FileMaker mainstay, this change has been met with its fair share of controversy. In this article we’ll show you why you [...]

Script Triggers: Filter as You Type

Geoff Coffey's Six Fried Rice Site - Sat, 08/28/2010 - 12:00am
For years, FileMaker developers have been devising various filter techniques. The idea is that you type all or part of a name, part number, description, etc… and a list of results filters down to show relevant matches. As handy as these techniques are, they always stop just short of perfect because, before FileMaker 10, you [...]

Using OnModeEnter Script Triggers to Display Custom Find Layouts

Geoff Coffey's Six Fried Rice Site - Sat, 08/28/2010 - 12:00am
Script triggers have in many ways completely changed the game when it comes to Filemaker development.  The fact that I can launch script triggers on mode changes opens up a whole slew of possibilities, one of which is being able to have a huge amount of control over where my users end up and what [...]

Pop: Goes the…um…Variable

Geoff Coffey's Six Fried Rice Site - Fri, 08/27/2010 - 12:00am
We start our return to semi-regular writing with a small-but-awesome custom function: Pop. If you grew up in the American mid-west like me you might think I’m talking about [soda|soda pop|coke|soft drinks]. But I’m actually talking about stacks. In the computer science world, pop means to take something off the top of a list, and [...]
