Software Overview of Troi Plug-ins
Below you find the latest versions of our software (as of September 4, 2019)
With macOS 10.14 Mojave Apple added new (and more strict) security measures, which may cause some functions of the Troi File Plug-in to return an error. Some FileMaker script steps that worked before, will now return error code $$-5000, which is error afpAccessDenied (User does not have the correct access to the file). You can get this error on Mojave for example when you use the TrFile_CreateFile function. Continue Reading

Troi Activator Plug-in has a built-in HTTP server, which will trigger a script when data arrives. The HTTP server can be started with the Actr_StartHTTPServer function or the Start HTTP Server script step. You stop the server with the Actr_StopHTTPServer function or the Stop HTTP Server script step.
There are several ways in which you can use this functionality:
- use the plug-in as an (Image) Upload Server. This functionality is explained in the separate post Image Upload Server setup instructions.
- trigger a script via a URL. This functionality is explained below.
With the functionality of Troi Activator Plug-in your FileMaker Pro database can become an (Image) Upload Server. The Activator Plug-in can receive the uploaded (JPEG) images with user text and even (GPS) location information.
You can test the upload locally with your web browser.
