The new function produces url safe output and also pads the value in the same way as the web version.Īdded BE_CurrentTimeMilliseconds, BE_UTCMilliseconds, and BE_TimeZoneOffset.īE_CurrentTimeMilliseconds is effectively a copy of GetAsNumber ( Get ( CurrentTimestamp ) ) but was being added anyway with the offset coding.īE_UTCMilliseconds is just the UTC version of BE_CurrentTimeMilliseconds, but for the UTC timezone.īE_TimeZoneOffset is the difference ( in minutes ) between UTC and local time. This often results in values that don't quite work at one end. However, you're sending data to web services that use, for example, the php based base64 library then the character set they're using, and the encode method is slightly different. The short explanation is that if you're using the built in encode / decode, then it will all work fine. The difference is in the character set and details of the encode. This is as well as the existing BE_Base64_Encode. There is lots of new and changed functionality in this release. This is our first big release since version 1 and so we've bumped the version number to 2.0. Today we've made available version 2.0 of our free FileMaker plugin. The TimeZoneOffset functionality is going to be the most useful, especially when working with sync solutions and needing to keep consistent time zones for data entry. BE_TimeZoneOffset - the difference between UTC and local time (in minutes). BE_UTCMilliseconds - as per BE_CurrentTimeMilliseconds but for UTC rather than local time. Added BE_HTTP_Set_Proxy function for use in the other HTTP functionsīE_CurrentTimeMilliseconds - is the same as the built-in Get ( CurrentTimestamp ) when wrapped with GetAsNumber.Added BE_CurrentTimeMilliseconds, BE_UTCMilliseconds and BE_TimeZoneOffset.

Use of whitespace in function signatures to match that used by FileMaker.
#BASEELEMENTS PLUGIN WIKI CODE#
The existing function won't go away so your code still works, but the new one also has a timeout parameter so you can set timeouts.

#BASEELEMENTS PLUGIN WIKI UPDATE#
We've posted another update to our free FileMaker plugin.
