Web enablement
We seem to be doing an awful lot of this lately! There is a good demand for our services developing web front-ends to FileMaker databases using the PHP features of FileMaker Server 9/10/11. Particularly with respect to accessing data from mobile devices such as iPhones, which perform best with light-weight web interfaces.
Athenaeum Pro 8.6
8.6 adds further refinements and builds on the well received 8.5 update. There are lots of little requests added as well as new A4 labels, new options for handling lost books, support for FileMaker Go, new fully documented XML interface options for third parties (the documentation is available for purchase), enhanced borrower quick searches and more.
Contact us if you want to know more.
YouTube videos
We are experimenting with YouTube for video delivery. YouTube offers multiple video resolutions, high availability and the ability to embed videos easily in other web pages.
Athenaeum Light 10 Preview
Athenaeum Light 10 is about to be released. You can download a fully functional preview version from our downloads page.
This is a significant change from the previous version (version 7) and introduces a new look and feel, new navigation options, lightning fast administrator searches, compatibility with Windows 7 and more.
Support Contracts
In addition to our free (email), pre-pay and pay-as-you-go support options, we have new options for annual support contracts. You build your contract to include the desired level of support for training/upgrades/phone/remote connections/network/on-site tasks. These start at $450+GST and offer useful discounts on pre-paid support. Contact us for more detail.
Athenaeum Web Templates for Filemaker Server
The new Athenaeum web templates are now available. We commissioned Totali software to develop these, with one of the design briefs being that you can customise these, changing the content to suit. The feedback has been great, thanks.
Pony Club Manager
Desiree has refined and packaged up the tool she uses for our local pony club into Pony Club Manager. It is very easy to use and has a ridiculously low price for pony clubs. Click the link on the left to find out more.
ShowManager
Version 10 of ShowManager has now completed its first full equestrian season. Don't forget to hop over to the ShowManager web pages to keep abreast of updates.
Athenaeum Pro 8 What's new
Click here to see a 10 minute preview of Athenaeum Pro 8. While intended for users of earlier versions of Athenaeum Pro, it should give others a reasonable idea of the program, too.
Customise your network opener Filemaker
The "opener" files we supply are customisable, prompting you for your IP address when first started.
FileMaker Pro 11/FileMaker Server 11
Version 11 of FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Server are available and are completely compatible with Athenaeum Pro.
Athenaeum Pro 8.5 exploits FileMaker Pro 10 or 11 if you have it, though it will work with FileMaker Pro 9, too!
