Kalender mit FileMaker und PHP

Viele Jahre nutze ich nun in FileMaker das Kalendermodul von "Otmar Kramis". Ein wunderschönes aber extrem komplexes Modul um Kalenderdaten innerhalb von FileMaker in einem WebViewer darstellen zu können. Umfangreiche Berechnungen machen die Einbindung oftmals wenn auch nicht unmöglich, so doch recht schwierig und aufwendig. Deshalb habe ich mich entschlossen etwas schnelles und sehr agiles zu entwickeln. Heraus gekommen ist ein schöner Kalender, mit dynamisch geladenen Daten. Die Kartenansichten gibt es natürlich auch in iPad-Format Für die Nutzung am iPhone gibt es auch eine angepasste Version Die Umsetzung erfolgte mit FileMaker, PHP und JavaScript.

Probando una nueva forma de documentar mis procesos

Empiezo con el desarrollo del proyecto, y el primer reto es decidir cómo y dónde voy a documentar el proceso de diseño y desarrollo. Antes usaba Word para el documento, Excel para las tablas de referencia e investigación, Illustrator para los primeros trazos y Maya para modelado 3D y renderizado.

Ahora, como el objetivo es utilizar el iPad para este proyecto, he decidido usar FileMaker.

FileMaker es un programa que permite crear “aplicaciones” o bases de datos que ayudan a organizar la información de forma más estructurada. Anteriormente ya había comenzado a desarrollar una aplicación que me permitiera gestionar todo el proceso de diseño: desde la definición del proyecto hasta el análisis de información y la generación de documentos de respaldo.

Para empezar con el diseño del portapasaportes, he creado un archivo en el que planteo:

* Proyecto

* Objetivo (¿Qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Cómo?)

* Ideas

* Actividades (task manager)

Además, he agregado algunos apartados para llevar una bitácora diaria de lo que realizo, de modo que no pierda el hilo de lo que he hecho ni de lo que tengo pendiente. También incluí dos secciones para subir toda la información que genero, como análisis de productos existentes, bocetos, cotizaciones, mood boards, entre otros.

Todo esto me ayuda a mantener la información ordenada, centralizada y estandarizada para los proyectos que vaya desarrollando. Por ahora, la aplicación todavía tiene muchas oportunidades de mejora, y estoy seguro de que, conforme el proyecto avance, iré haciendo ajustes y agregando herramientas que faciliten su desarrollo.

Comparto unas imágenes de la aplicación y parte de las actividades que me he planteado para este proyecto.

Wenn der WebViewer plötzlich leer bleibt: Daten lieber per Session-ID statt über WebViewer.SetHTML

Nach etlichen Projekten mit WebViewer-Integration in FileMaker kennt man das: Eine aufwendig generierte HTML-Darstellung wird in eine Variable geschrieben und mit WebViewer.SetHTML in das Layout eingebunden. Doch irgendwann, meist nach einem Update, einer Layoutänderung oder schlicht durch zu große Datenmengen, bleibt der WebViewer plötzlich leer. Keine Fehlermeldung, kein Hinweis. Die Lösung, die sich in meinem Fall bewährt hat. Statt den HTML-Inhalt direkt aus FileMaker in eine Variable zu übergeben, wird dieser über ein PHP-Skript auf dem Server dynamisch aufgebaut. FileMaker überträgt die Inhalte per POST, der Server speichert sie mit einer eindeutigen Session-ID in einer temporären Datei. Anschließend ruft FileMaker einfach https://meinserver.de/tour.php?session=ava_65df75dca14f8 auf und der WebViewer lädt die fertige Darstellung wie jede andere Webseite auch. Vorteile dieser Methode: – Kein Zeichenlimit oder Kodierungsproblem in FileMaker-Variablen – HTML, CSS und JavaScript können deutlich umfangreicher sein – Die Darstellung ist im Browser direkt testbar (z. B. mit ?debug=1) – Die Daten sind temporär gespeichert und nach Ablauf automatisch gelöscht Vorgangsweise: Daten werden per POST an den Server gesendet, dort in einer temporären JSON-Datei abgelegt und über eine Session-ID abrufbar gemacht. Der WebViewer muss dann nur noch die Session-ID in der URL übergeben. Der Server liefert die fertige Darstellung. Also eigentlich wie mit dem Browser. Dieser Code-Bereich ist das Herzstück für den POST-Empfang. Er übernimmt Daten aus FileMaker, speichert sie temporär als JSON-Datei und gibt eine eindeutige Session-ID zurück. Wenn sonst nach dem FileMaker Befehl -Aus URL einfügen- eine ganze HTML-Strucktur zurückkommt, bekommen wir nur noch die Session-ID zurück. Diese wird dann nur noch an die eigentliche URL der PHP-Datei gehangen. Z.B. so: https://deinserver.de/tour_post_neu.php?session=id123456.7654321.

// POST: Daten speichern und Session-ID zurückgeben if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') { $postData = array_map('trim', $_POST); $sessionId = uniqid('ava_', true); $sessionDir = __DIR__ . '/sessions/'; if (!file_exists($sessionDir)) mkdir($sessionDir, 0755, true); file_put_contents($sessionDir . $sessionId . '.json', json_encode([ 'data' => $postData, 'created' => time() ])); echo $sessionId; exit; }

Nun wird diese URL (https://deinserver.de/tour_post_neu.php?session=id123456.7654321) im WebViewer aufgerufen. Für die Verarbeitung ist dieser Teil zuständig.

if (isset($_GET['session'])) { $sessionFile = __DIR__ . '/sessions/' . $_GET['session'] . '.json'; if (file_exists($sessionFile)) { $sessionData = json_decode(file_get_contents($sessionFile), true); if (time() - $sessionData['created'] > 3600) { unlink($sessionFile); echo "Session abgelaufen"; exit; } $postData = $sessionData['data']; // hier folgt die HTML-Ausgabe } }

Well the thing is... It's not possible for everyone.

For my Master and afterwards for work, I need to have Windows because I have to use programs that can only be found on windows and mac, and I'm certainly never going to use a mac.

Yes linux is great, which is why I put my previous laptop under linux now that I use another one for uni, but I can't download Adobe on Debian now, can I?

And yes, I know there are free and open sources alternatives AND that they're also available on linux. But when your entire uni/work system uses specific programs to run specific tasks specific to your specialisation, you can hardly be picky.

Also linux is "hard to use" because a huge chunk of people use windows and only moves to Linux when they're laptop is dying. It's just the normal impact of changing OS.

Windows is hard to use bc they keep rolling out shit updates and also capitalism. But in itself it's easier for a lot of people because they know how to use it.

So yeah... You can advocate for linux. Linux is great. But you can't possibly tell people to do things they can't do, and even less shame/judge them for that.

Fixing Windows 11 - A Masterpost

The puppetshow: News

Aradia is in her office reading through the papers filled with lore about Cookie worldly Aus when Atticus the FileMaker runs it to her office looking pale as white chalk.

Atticus:*PANT PANT PANT*

Aradia looks up from one of her papers.

Aradia:Atticus? Why didnt you bother knocking?

Atticus:I-Im sorry Aradia, b-but this can't wait any longer. Remember that Fix a beast world you created? Yeah uh, the pure vanilla cookie in there turn every single cookie in the cookie world into mindless puppets.

...Aradia stops reading her paperwork before getting up from her seat to look Atticus straight in the eyes.

Aradia: ...What?

Atticus:A- apparently something within him snapped and took all his friends soul jams in order to take control of Earth bread and mind control every single cookie in his world! Even the legendary cookies aren't safe!

Aradia:... Schedule a meeting with the Destruction class including the Punishment class. We cannot let his influence spread to other universes. We also need to make sure he knows his place in the world.

Atticus:W-What are you going to do to him?

Aradia: We are going to make him feel the same pain that he inflicted on those cookies; Helplessness.

WHO IS STILL USING FILEMAKER IN 2 THOUSAND AND 25!!!!!!!! what kind of CREATURE do you have to be. On WINDOWS no less.

Why are you pear :v

ohohohohohoh this is my favorite story to tell okay so

once upon a time (a couple years ago): our italian teacher explains to us how surnames came from the position our ancestors held in society and she tells us to look our surname's origin up

so i look it up, it's a surname present rather sporadically in the north of italy, where i live, and it barely ever comes up in the south, and its meaning most definitely was and still is "pyre maker" (see: funeral pyres)

BUT the first half of the surname (which everyone calls me by) in a SOUTHERN dialect (the surname does not exist in the south) means pear; or rather pear tree

at the same time poor old me was trying to outgrow their government-mandated (created by parents) online username

It had struck me like a bolt of lightning so white and pure.. i was pear!! pear pear pear peae pear

but i damn well knew pear was going to be taken on every site, game and relational database known to man, i had to improvise and god forbid i settled for numbers. numbers dont make an impression unless you are a big nerd person guy.

threw some words at 'pear' to see what stuck. 'light' was a close second and i am not proud of that. 'fire' also was on the table but 'war' is what i ended up with. it rolled off the tongue like a tasty bite of pear.

fast forward some years, everyone of my friends refers to me as pear and even my parents acknowledged it. whoop dee doo! thats how you make an username that lasts

BONUS: other potential nicknames??

pyremaker (one of my friends is called filemaker so. uh.)

metheas (no real reason except its close to my real name)

rebex (originally meant 'rebecca' + 'regex', see regular expressions, still a cool name imo)

nullpointer (sometimes i daydream of owning a radio channel that broadcasts dnb and jungle music and it's called null pointer and its so cool woah. null pointers are purple little creaturws that explode badly written code)
