Title

IWP Login Script

Post

Does anyone know how to create a script that runs as soon as a user (Guest in my case) logs in via IWP. I want to create a simple way for users to submit tech requests into my existing database. The problem is when users log in, they immediately go to a layout I do not want them to have access to. What I want to do is create a script that will switch to the appropriate layout, and possibly start a new record. I created this script in FIleMaker, but can't figure out how to activate it automatically (without buttons).

No one else has this question

you can use the function get (applicationversion) to check if you are in local client or in iwp.

and this tells the functions_ref.pdf:

Get(ApplicationVersion)

Purpose
Returns text representing the FileMaker application and version.

Format
Get(ApplicationVersion)

Parameters
None

Data type returned
text

Description
Returns:
•Pro (version) for FileMaker Pro
•ProAdvanced (version) for FileMaker Pro Advanced
•Runtime (version) for FileMaker Runtime
•Web (version) for FileMaker Web Client
•Server (version) for FileMaker Web Server
Note For information on how functions evaluate differently on the host versus the client, search the FileMaker Knowledge Base available at www.filemaker.com/kb.

Examples
Returns Pro 10.0v1 in FileMaker Pro 10.0v1.

Forgive me, perhaps I was unclear (or misunderstood your sggestion.) I do not need to know if something was entered via IWP or a client, they are only going to access this via IWP. What I need is to run a script automatically when "Guest" logs into IWP without the use of buttons.

For Example:
User logs into IWP website as guest
Script runs and redirects Guest user to a particular layout and creates a new record

Thanks for your consideration

simply a startup script?

Menu File, File Options, there you can define a startup script. (sorry if i didnt translate correctly, i only have the german version)

No problem.

I was afraid of that. You see, I run one script when I log into the database locally as me (takes me to one layout), I wand a different script when Guest logs in through IWP to take them to a different layout.

i got bad news, and i got good news.

the bad news... one filemaker file, one startup script.

the good news... in your startup script you can use get applicationversion to decide if your startupscript calls script startuplocal or if it calls script startupiwp (or what else you call your scripts).

reduce your startup script to
if (get applicationversion contains "web")
call script startupweb
else
call script startuplocal
end else

(please look for correct syntax yourself) and everything else should be done in the second level startup scripts.
