The functionality is currently concentrated on list maintenance. The module works on nine of the many methods MailChimp provides with their API. You can now integrate their amazing product directly into FileMaker…ġ. BaseElements plugin, version 2.3 at the time of release ( July, 29 2014 ) More than 6 million people use MailChimp to create, send, and track email newsletters. If you have a need to integrate FileMaker with MailChimp, this module will get you started: © 2010-2013 Mark Banks.FMSIMPLICITY just added a new MailChimp module to Modular FileMaker that looks pretty interesting.

These are easily addressed, however, whilst doing so would make this a better template for production plug-ins the additional complexity (and lines of code) would run counter to the aim of reducing the effort required for exploring and testing ideas. are not handledįunctions must always be registered in the same order to be recognised as the same function by FileMakerĬ/C++ usage is over simple: it's all in one file, there are no classes, no exception handling and the rather limited text manipulation functions provided by the API are used rather than STL strings, etc. Only a limited sub-set of the API is used: preferences, running in idle-time etc. In designing the template with both short term simplicity and use as a learning tool in mind a couple of things needed to give… notably: Keystone, an open source FileMaker plug-in
The most notable are:Ĭhapter 5 of the FileMaker Pro 11 Advanced Development Guideįmplug-prog-list - FileMaker Plug-in programmers mailing list Sadly, sources of information on writing FileMaker plug-ins are few and far between. $(HOMEDRIVE)\$(HOMEDIR)\AppData\Local\FileMaker\Extensions\Īdditional information on using the template is included in the comments in the source. Plugins are build directly in the user extensions directory for FileMaker: Register the function in the Init function
The name of the project is used as the name of the plug-in and also for the four letter prefix that is attached to function names (a function IsComputerOnFire in a plug-in called Testing will appear in the list of external functions as Test_IsComputerOnFire) and so the name should only contain characters that are acceptable as function names within FileMaker and should only use letters or numbers as the first four characters of the name.Ī sample function is included in the template as an example (thus to simply explore the template this step and the following one to register the new function can be safely ignored) Rename the SimplePlugin.xcodeproj and/or SimplePlugin.sln files.
Rename the Headers directory to FMWrapper. Make a copy of the SimplePlugin directoryĭownload the FileMaker External Function Plug-In library and place amework (Xcode) and the Headers directory and FMWrapper.lib (Visual Studio) in the new project directory.
