Justin – you are so right!
The search mechanism from Zapier was intended to find a specific record to fill in details during a workflow – not to trigger as new records are created. I apologize for the confusion.
We added a new TRIGGER to perform an action when new records match your request. Give that a shot and let me know how it works for you.
Thanks

Hi Craig –
Are you using a single server for both PHP and FileMaker hosting? It sounds like you are.
Make sure PHP is enabled on your server. Visit the sosimple_cal.php page without using any parameters – that will give you more details.
(https://<yourserver>/sosimple/sosimple_cal.php)
Check our installation page for details:
-
Typically the way Zapier works is it runs the action for each record returned. So you don’t need to explicitly loop over anything.
There was an error in the old search method so only one record (and the wrong record at that) was returned. It should work as expected now.
-
Sorry, Justin. You lost me.
-
I’m afraid I don’t have an answer for that. Sorry!

Hi Justin –
There was in fact an error in how searches were performed.
We just fixed it and resubmitted the app. Thanks for troubleshooting it – I hope it wasn’t terribly inconvenient. This was a new feature we just added to the app and apparently didn’t work out all the kinks.
I expect the new version to be up within 24 hrs – they’re usually pretty quick about updating it.

You have to restart server after you turn on PHP.
-
That is exactly the message you’d see if PHP was not enabled on your server.
Enable PHP by opening the Terminal app on your server and typing the following:
fmsadmin SET CWPCONFIG ENABLEPHP=true ENCODING=UTF-8 LOCALE=en PREVALIDATION=false USEFMPHP=true
-
Also, in FileMaker 17, PHP can only be turned on by the command line. Have you turned it on?

It doesn’t sound like a permissions issue – sounds like the wrong folder in the wrong place.
1) Make sure you’re copying the right folder. It’s the one named “sosimple” and it was originally inside the folder called “for server-side installations”. It contains the cache folder and the sosimple_cal.php file, among other things.
2) Make sure you’re putting it in the right place. Our installation document specifies the correct place. Please note that there are two options on the Mac, one for secure one for not – make sure you know which one you’re using.
Before you look at it in FileMaker Pro, first look at the sosimple page in your browser. The sosimple page (same url without any parameters) shows information about any missing pieces to your installation.

That aspect was designed by Zapier. Searches have their own place in the Zapier workflow. You don’t need to have two FileMaker calls in row, though. We use it with the Zapier Schedule app – every day, for example, find new appointments in FileMaker.

Hi there thoand –
We can offer custom development to add the week number onto the calendar.
I’m not sure what you mean that the url doesn’t change when you navigate the calendar. Unless you’re using the mobile template, the end of the url changes to show the current date and view being shown.
-
Two very easy methods –
1) add the string “&cal_readonly=1” to your URL just for the users that you want to have read-only access.
2) create a new calendar in soSIMPLE Calendar Settings and set the “Option” setting to readonly.
You also have the ability to set specific events to read only, if that becomes useful.
-
It sounds like you haven’t updated your Actions script so that it includes the resource field. See this post for more details:

This is an old post. Can you tell me what version of soSIMPLE Calendar you’re running?
-
I just tested this on our example databases for a few versions. I’m guessing your forgot to add a parameter to the URL to recognize touch devices. Adding “&cal_touch=1” to the URL will add the drag & drop functionality on the iPad. Or you can turn that feature on permanently in the Calendar Settings file under “Options”

Hi Jon –
This is not a cache issue – that would affect all users. Although it may speed up your calendar if you fix your cache – that’s a matter of changing permissions on the cache folder that’s installed with soSIMPLE. You can get more information here:
The problem you’re having is that sometimes the default version of FileMaker is not set properly. This is especially a problem with FileMaker 17, but it can happen with other versions as well. The solution is to manually set the default version of FileMaker that opens using the fmp:// url.
You can see information about how to do that here:

Hope that helps.

For iPad:
What happens when you long-click an event by the header? (click & hold). That triggers the iPad to know that you’re editing the event, so you can then drag it.
Similar idea when creating new events. Click, hold, then drag.
For the iPhone, you should use the mobile layout. That’s designed to work with smaller screens.
Thanks
Ken

Are you using the mobile interface?
Do you see the calendar at all, or is it completely blank?
-
Yes – for calendars integrated into your solution, add the URL parameter &hide_wkend.
If you’re using the supplied calendar file, click the gear next to the calendar. There’s a checkbox to hide weekends there.
More info on this and other useful parameters:
-
I believe you’re using standalone – is that correct?
Are you using your own file using our 5-minute integration or are you using the soSIMPLE Calendar file provided?
For Standalone on your own file (very different from server-powered), you have to make sure the data.json field is mapping your correct color field. You can re-copy that calculation with all the fields at once by defining them in you data source in soSIMPLE Calendar Settings then clicking “Use in FileMaker Pro/Go” then “Re-copy just the calculation”. You can then paste the calculation into your existing data.json field.
Or you can carefully type in the missing information directly into the calculation.
-
When you purchase soSIMPLE, you will receive the developer user name and password that provides access to the soSIMPLE Calendar file.

We’ve verified this error, at least in certain conditions. We’ll have a fix out shortly.
