Tessy Smith
mobileAttendance project. There is an .fp7, a .zip file (which
contains the php code) and a .doc file which explains where the files
should go once they are extracted. This is the web version of the
application, not the IWP version. The user interface is made for an
iPhone but it can run in any browser. If you have any questions about
any of it feel free to email me.

In this case I could have gone either way but since there weren't too many
layouts and php allows me the freedom to develop the interface any way I
want, I decided to go that route. Usually, the deciding factor for me is
what the user is going to be entering, how many screens there will be and
now, whether or not I will be developing for an iPhone interface.
If they are entering alot of text (like in grades and comments) I would
probably use php because of the disconnect time in IWP. I have gotten
burnt by that before by doing an online hiring database where the
interviewers enter their comments. If they started typing, walked away
then came back, if the system disconnected them (filemaker not the
internet) they would lose all their comments. I don't like to tell my
users that there is a chance they are going to lose their data and they
need to type things into word first then cut & paste.
If it is a system that requires small bits of input and there are going to
be alot of screens required and I am not developing for an iPhone, I would
use IWP. For example, I am going to be using IWP to develop a placement
database for students for their next year courses. There is not alot of
typing involved but I have to present the teachers with alot of
information so they can do their analysis. In that case, I don't want to
waste alot of time developing the php to display the data although I may
eventually go that route.
If it is going to be used on an iPhone I would use .php. I think the
interface comes out much nicer. At some point FM Touch may be good enough
to use but then you require syncing and that is just a mess.
Just my thoughts...
Take care.

then came back, if the system disconnected them (filemaker not the

"Disconnect from FileMaker Server when idle".
that should do it. An alternative is to set the idle time really high
on the server-side of things.
Question, How are others making commits to those projects?

filemaker application, if I am disconnected, whatever I have been working
on is lost.

When on the LAN, aren't changes saved instantaneously? On IWP,
however, I have experienced work loss.
All the best,

Yes. You are right about that.

natively speaking that is.
To take care of your problem Tessy, (which isn't really a problem for
some sensitive databases like KEYSTONE for instance)
Uncheck the "Disconnect from FileMaker Server when idle" for the IWP
user in question or simply change the idle time for your databases.
question on all those nice projects. How does filemaker files deal
with differing revisions? I did diff and nothing! also checkout a
specific revision and I get a corrupted files. humnn
