There is only one registry key value that must be modified for this solution. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved.
FILEMAKER WEB DIRECT URL WINDOWS
Therefore, a warning from Microsoft: "Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to re-install Windows to correct them. If you'd like to change the default FileMaker version that is used for FMP URL links in Windows, you can modify a registry key, rather than uninstall/re-install that version of FileMaker.įirst, while this change should not affect your system in a devastating way, if you don't implement it correctly or modify/delete the wrong keys, you make render your system unusable. If you've installed multiple instances of FileMaker, URL links will open, by default, in the last version of FileMaker installed.

On all systems, FMP URL links can be opened by only one program.

I don't believe you've confirmed whether this is Mac or Windows, but on our Windows server we always have to remember to reset HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FMP\shell\open\command in RegEdit - I was going to add the links here, but having checked both are victims of the new community forum, so here's a copy/paste from my own notes:
FILEMAKER WEB DIRECT URL INSTALL
We have problems on our streaming servers that have different versions of FileMaker and every time we either run an update or install a new version of FMP(A). I am also keen to see if anyone else has other (simpler) options for this task. In the past I once used AppleScript to successfully trigger FMP files from a link in a web page, but I would much prefer a strictly FMP-only approach, as I feel that it would be more robust, and less prone to security issues. If you try it and run into problems, please post back so that we can figure out what went wrong. I have not tried what I am proposing as an idea here, but I believe that it should work. It might be able to receive the target path as a script parameter, and use a dynamic data source path to open the proper file. If so, then the Launcher file does not even necessarily need to have any path information hard-coded into it. I can not remember if v.16 was the version that introduced dynamic FMP data source paths. Launch.fmp12 could then close itself, so that only the target file remains open. The script in Launch.fmp12 then reads the supplied parameter, and opens appropriate file. When opening Launch.fmp12 via URL, specifically tell it to run the script you added, and also supply a parameter which specifies the target file that you would like to have open. Leave Launch.fmp12 in the Documents directory.įrom the web page, use the FMP protocol to open Launch.fmp12

Give Launch.fmp12 a script which is capable of opening the target files that live locally on the machine. I hope I have correctly asked my question and thanks in advance to all those who want to help me.Ĭreate an "launcher" file, for example: Launch.fmp12 I hope someone can help me understand more. Eventually I ask if it is possible to use AppleScript or other solution. Maybe it might sound strange to open to FileMaker files via the browser locally, but there are two different applications already developed in two different ways.

"Desktop" (in particular the file would be on an external HDD, on macOS). But I need to define a different path that points to a position different from "Documents", e.g.

I'm using FileMaker Pro Advanced 16 and I would like to open a LOCAL Filemaker file (fmp.12) from a link on a web page using the "fmp://" protocol - I specify that the application will always remain locally.īy setting for example fmp://~/Activity.fmp12 ("~" points to the "Documents" folder by default) the connection works: the file (placed on "Documents") opens immediately without problems. I ask if anyone has a solution for a problem that I can't solve related to the fmp:// protocol. I hope I posted my question in the right section of the forum. I've been using FileMaker for a while, but I'm not an expert. Hi everyone, I just signed up and I'm new to this community.
