filemaker developer 7 - CDML tags
I have to generate html files from a FM 7 table... I enabled Instant
Web Publishing, and seem to be able to access a template I put into the Web folder, that's all god... except, the CDML tags don't get replaced thanks to the brilliant people at at Filemaker, Filemaker's CDML tags dont' work any more... thanks filemaker. I have a real simple example: <html> <head> <title>[FMP-field: pageTitle]</title> </head> <body> </body> </html> how can I get the CDML tag to be replaced? (truthffully, I can't even recall how to reference a related field, but I'm sure that's another issue altogether.) the web templates that I'm populating are greater than 32k, so I can't just do a calculation... which would have been absolutely unruly to maintain anyway. apparently, FM's using XSLT stylesheets instead now, but just TRY to find an example of that, let alone a clear one. apparently, we're just supposed to know how to implement them. anybody have any ideas how to get around this? thanks in advance G |

FileMaker Server Advanced (which you should need to serve any custom web
pages) comes with a CDML conversion tool. The result of your page above is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <?xslt-cwp-query param="-grammar=fmresultset"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fmrs="http://www.filemaker.com/xml/fmresultset" xmlns:fmxslt="xalan://com.fmi.xslt.ExtensionFunctions" exclude-result-prefixes="xsl fmrs fmxslt"> <xsl  utput method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/> <xsl:template match="/fmrs:fmresultset"> <xsl:variable name="default-record" select="/fmrs:fmresultset/fmrs:resultset/fmrs:record[1]"/> <html> <head> <title><xsl:value-of select="$default-record/fmrs:field[@name = 'pageTitle']/fmrs:data[1]"/></title> </head> <body> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> There is an XSLT library at <http://www.filemaker.com/products/technologies/xslt_library.html>, which may (or probably not) help you. There is an XML-FMP discussion group at <http://www.filemaker.com/products/technologies/xml_talk.html>. I wish I could say that any of these resources were helpful to me, but they're not. CDML was simple, but not very powerful. XML/XSLT is very powerful (or so I keep getting told), but it is not simple...unless you stop to study and learn it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Howard Schlossberg (818) 883-2846 FM Pro Solutions Los Angeles, California FileMaker 7 Certified Developer Associate Member, FileMaker Solutions Alliance |

thank you so much Howard, this is wonderful!
I'm actually only running FM Dev; this isn't a web deployed application (I use Virtuoso for that http://www.openlinksw.com/virtuoso ). this task is only a desktop data manipulation (albeit a complex one), so I don't need the full power of FM Server. I've recently been getting into XML/XSLT, so I'm primed to take advantage of the wonderful resources you listed, thank you! these examples will set me on my way, thank you again! g.
