At DrupalCon Chicago we discussed the concept of Reliably Unique Identifiers (RUIDs) - the ability to reliably unique Drupal objects between instances.
Essentially, this module interfaces with the FileMaker API for PHP libraries provided by FileMaker (not included with in the distribution of this module), and provides an interface to add layouts online. It has the following features:
Individual field-level controls
Field-level processing and theme functions
Default handling provided for form elements (textfield, select, radio, checkboxes)
Creates filemaker hooks so that other modules can provide their own field processing
Template files for records and portals
Includes handling for record creation and modification
Search page provided for layouts imported
Simple search field provided for list pages
Record view, modify, delete, and create permissions
In addition, a mechanism is included for handling a users from a FileMaker database and associating them with Drupal roles. Then, permissions can be set that can reflect those set for users of the FileMaker database allowing some to modify or create records while anonymous users to only records. Passwords for these FileMaker users are encrypted by creating a password and password salt.
