Adding Download link in Main toolbar

Hi,
I had created a merged project in Robohelp 8.0.2 and I wish to include a button in the main toolbar along with Contents, Search, Index, Glossary for downloading the help file in PDF format. Though I had created a custom button using the Skin editor in Robohelp, I want to know how to link the PDF file to it, so that when the user clicks the link, it has to prompt for download. I have attached a screenshot below to define the same.
I had included the PDF file in Baggage files and generated the output
When I click the link in generated output, it opens the PDF rather than prompting to download.
When I close the PDF, the contents screen goes blank/black as shown below:
Is there a way to prompt for downloading the help when the user clicks the download pdf link in help?
Let me know your thoughts on this
Thanks & regards
Pan_sel

Hi there
In IE you may be seeing a behavior imposed when working locally and you are using Mark Of The Web. (MOTW)
MOTW will inhibit links to PDF in these cases and is unique to IE. The true test is to place the content on a server. Once on a server the MOTW has no meaning and things should work.
Cheers... Rick

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

How do I remove the links underneath the main toolbar (most visited, latest headlines, news, Apple, etc.)?

I have no idea how to remove the links that are underneath the main toolbar (where the back and forward buttons are, refresh, etc.). I know they got there by either Apple default, or by me accidentally dragging something there. I have tried dragging them away, and they don't go anywhere. I tried dragging to the trash, etc.

That didn't help me. I am talking about the bar that looks like this the one in the picture. I know how to remove items from my bookmarks, but the items on this little menu/link bar are not all a part of my bookmarks, which makes me wonder if this is the bookmarks toolbar.

In iWeb how do I delete download link in pre formatted iweb page?

Hi
I am adding a pre formated page to be existing website and do not want the download facility on any photos shown.
Those that I have uploaded have all be disabled from this happening by using the Photo Inspector photo sharing thingy.
However when you go online and open up the larger image with all the images above on the right hand side is a
download link which is still active! How do I get rid of this? Can I? Or do i have to start again and create my
own page from scratch (which I could probably do but will take ages!!).
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sophie

Thank you Jeff!! Now I feel a right twit - it was staring me in the face. I confused download with upload in my brain and didn't think that was relevant!
I am mainly a pc person for my business - yes I know that's a sin to you lot & I have the mac for my website and photos and I am gradually working out how it thinks.
Have sorted it now and I will use this community thing again.
Thanks
Sophie

I broke my laptop last week and until I can afford a new one, I'd like to use my ipad for university. Just wondering whether there is a way I can view online lectures? I have an app called my media but its only good for direct download links

Only good for direct download links. I can pick to view my lecture in either audio or video format through WMP or QT from my school website. The formats come in a drop box form, which when on a desktop or laptop open in the player you choose and play. I hope this makes sense

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

Firefox is adding advertising links to certain words on my website cornish-surfing.co.uk, and when I open a new tab an additional window opens with unwanted sites.
1. How can I stop these things from happening?
2. Why is it happening?
These things only happen when I’m using the Firefox browser. I use Sophos antivirus and firewall and the scans indicate my system is clean. So I’m assuming that it’s built into Firefox or there’s a security flaw with Firefox.
Can you let me know which and how I can stop it from happening?
Graham Jappé

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc (certainly nothing that is shipping with a plain official firefox build).
please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

How do I remove download links/button redirect to accurate download

When I go to some sites that have a download link underscored in blue or a button next to text or any other part of the page, I was able to click and download the file. When you point at the link or button you would see the path it will take to download the file. It would have the website name your visiting plus other codes.
But on returning to these sites, when I choose what I want to download, the link or button wants to go to accuratedownload.com. It presents the name of the item I want and with a .EXE extension. My main browser is Firefox version 26.0 on my XP PC. I test Internet Explorer and it produces the same results. Something has changed. I go to the site on my mobile phone, I am able to download the file from the same site and the links/buttons are not embedded with codes to go to accuratedownload.com. I do not know what to call this problem since I had no luck in finding solutions to redirection being embedded in a link or button on a web page that worked fine.
I've tried a reset Firefox, my profile, running Symantec Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes Anit-Malware, Clearing history and so on. The problem still occurs. Need Help.
Note: It would be nice if when the Download Screen pops-up, that we could rename the download file to a name we want (Saves time). Even if you rename the file, the history should record where it came from with the original name if it needs to be downloaded again.

To let you know, When I did a reset and restarted Fire Fox without the Add on's. I tested each user account on my PC. Each user account that used Fire Fox or Windows Explorer showed the same symtoms.
Back to troubleshooting, I've completed a scan using Sothos Free Virus Removal Tool. After a lengthy scan of every drive, partition, USB Thumb Drive and so on that it found, in about 5.5 hours it found Mal/FakeAvCn-C, Mal/JavDlEx-A and CXmal/BadLnk-A and continued by clicking the Clean Up button and that took about 15 minutes for some reason. Then it asked to send the log to Sophos. I clicked send and it failed to get to them.
I tried going on the internet to test the cleanup by clicking on some links and buttons. I could not get on the internet. I found that the NIC card was not working. Don't know why now but probably was affected by the scan. I found myself troubleshooting and reinstalling NIC drivers several times before the NIC card started to run correctly.
I read you post and tried to change the proxy settings in Fire Fox to "No Proxy." The scan, clean up and proxy settings change did not remove the embedded paths in links or buttons that allow you to download or be sent to the intended location. It still had paths to accuratedownload.com and eachdownload.com.
Question: By default is the proxy setting suppose to be "Use system proxy settings"? Should I put this back to this setting.
Windows Explorer has the same problem. Is Fire Fox a stand alone product or does it build parts of itself using Windows Explorer?
=========
Besides the scans and removal done to the registry, the scans it did on the files and folders, the Sophos log shows the virus attached to files in Documents and Folders, All Users (and other user accounts), Application and data folders, Java and Cache, including any shortcuts and long cryptic files like (pg42l784fcuo452hsb6cfbkoke045p75f2e02887m).
When programs fail to delete or cleanup after themselves, what locations can be safely deleted manually?

Creating a file download link on jsp

I have the following on my jsp. The code worked fine until I tried to use it in a new html design page.
<code>
//page name is index.jsp
try //DISPLAY THE CONTENTS OF THE DATA DIRECTORY
File dirname = new File(PATH); // create an instance of the File class
if (dirname.exists()&&dirname.isDirectory())//check to see if File class dirname exists and is valid
String [] allfiles = dirname.list();//create an array of files in the dirname File class
          for (int i=0; i< allfiles.length; i+=2)//loop through allfiles[] and print out file links
out.println("<br><table border='1' cellspacing='1' width='99%'>");
               out.println("<tr><td width='50%' class='pageFont'><input type='checkbox' name='cb' value='"+allfiles[i]+"'>"+allfiles[i]+"      ");
%>
<a class="a" href="index.jsp?downfile=C:\\data\\<%=allfiles[i+1]%>">DOWNLOAD</a></td>
<% if(i+1 < allfiles.length)//PRINTS OUT THE SECOND TD SO THAT WE HAVE 2 COLUMNS OF LINKS
out.println("<td width='50%' class='pageFont'><input type='checkbox' name='cb' value='"+allfiles[i+1]+"'>"+allfiles[i+1]+"      ");
%>
<a class="a" href="index.jsp?downfile=C:\\data\\<%=allfiles[i+1]%>">DOWNLOAD</a></td></tr>
<%
out.println("</form></font></table>");
catch (IOException excep)
     out.println("An IO exception has occured.");
</code>
Then when clicked this code is run:
<code>
try{
//CHECK TO SEE IF THE FILE HAS BEEN CLICKED TO DOWNLOAD SINGLE FILE
if (request.getParameter("downfile") != null)
String filePath = request.getParameter("downfile");
File f = new File(filePath);//CREATE AN INSTANCE OF THE FILE CLASS AND POINT IT TO THE LOCATION OF THE DIRECTORY CONTAINING THE FILES
if (f.exists() && f.canRead())
response.setContentType ("application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\""+f.getName()+"\"");
response.setContentLength((int) f.length());
BufferedInputStream fileInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(f));
int i;
out.clearBuffer();
while ((i = fileInputStream.read()) != -1) out.write(i);
fileInputStream.close();
out.flush();
</code>
When I click on this link I get the download dialog box. If I open it I get the following open up in notepad(the files I am trying to give download links are .txt files)
Below is what is displayed in notepad ALL on 1 line:
<html>
<head>
<LINK rel="stylesheet" ty
That is displayed in all of the links that I click on. It is the first few lines of html code for index.jsp.
I know this code is probably not a good way of doing what I need but I got it to work fine until the change.
I am sure there is an easier way to code the download link without resubmitting the page.
Thanks in advance!!

Well all was fine with this jsp until I moved it to ApacheJServ. Now the problem has resurfaced(although it is a little different now)
I had moved the following code to the top of my page:
//CHECK TO SEE IF EITHER DOWNFILE OR ZIPFILE VARIABLE EXIST, AND IF THEY DO SET CONTENT TYPE BEFORE SENDING ANY HTML CODE TO THE BROWSER
try{
//CHECK TO SEE IF THE FILE HAS BEEN CLICKED TO DOWNLOAD SINGLE FILE
    if (request.getParameter("downfile") != null)
            String filePath = request.getParameter("downfile");
            File f = new File(filePath);//CREATE AN INSTANCE OF THE FILE CLASS AND POINT IT TO THE LOCATION OF THE DIRECTORY CONTAINING THE FILES
                if (f.exists() && f.canRead())
                    response.setContentType ("application/octet-stream");
                    response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\""+f.getName()+"\"");
                    response.setContentLength((int) f.length());
                    BufferedInputStream fileInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(f));
                    int i;
                    out.clearBuffer();
                    while ((i = fileInputStream.read()) != -1) out.write(i);
                        fileInputStream.close();
                        out.flush();
                        response.flushBuffer();
catch (Exception e){}
//This is where the java code ends and the javascript/html code begins.Then further into the page I create the file download links like so:
                        <a class="a" href="main.jsp?downfile=C:\\data\\<%=allfiles[i+1]%>">DOWNLOAD</a>I know this isnt a secure way of doing this but I am on a intranet.
The problem I am having now is that when I click on one of the links and download the file and then open it, I get the contents of the file plus concatenated to the end of it is the first few HTML lines of the actual jsp that I downloaded the file from. Before I was just getting the first few lines of html from the jsp, not the actual contents of the downloaded file.
This is an example of what I am getting:
This is the contents of the file that I downloaded.//This is where the file contents ends.
<html>
<head>
<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css">
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
//function that allows user to select all checkboxes
function doIt(v)
for(var i=0;i<document.form1.cb.length;i++)
   document.form1.cb.checked=eval(v);
function swap(imageName,image)
imageName.src = "templateImages/"+image;
function imageOver(imageSrc, imageName)
     changeImage = new Image();
     changeImage.src = imageSrc;
     document.images[imageName].src = changeImage.src;
var hide = true;
function hideShow( ) /
Any morre ideas?
TIA!
BTW, I went to ApacheJServ because they wont let me use tomcat :(

How to add a download link in a report directed by a navigation link?

I have searched the net but could not find the solution.
I added a link in a dashboard page. The link is connected to a request. When the link is clicked, the page goes to a report, which is not placed in a section region.
Now, how to configure the report so that a download link is displayed right under the navigated report?
I know that if a report is placed under a section in a dashboard design page, use the "Request Link..." to add the download link. But such a "Request Link..." feature is not available for a navigate-link directed report.
Many thanks in advance.
Quin

I haven't seen this done, but it may be possible. As a workaround why not create a new hidden dashboard page and put your request on that page with the appropriate 'Download' report link?

When I try to click on a download link for a .pdf file Firefox does not recognize the MIME type and tries to download the file as "index.php"

When visiting a site I frequent I tried to download a linked .pdf file. Previously I've used Firefox 7.0.1 to download the link with no problem. Using Firefox 8 however I the browser does not recognize the .pdf link's mime type. Instead of recognizing the download link as a .pdf file Firefox 8 tries to download it as "index.php". Firefox 8 does this with .doc files and .txt files as well. When I downgrade to 7.0.1 again the problem disappears.

Hi hakmacpace,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
Hopefully this helps!

I need to reinstall Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10. Where can I find the download link?

I need to reinstall Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10 on my Windows Laptop. Where can I find the download link?

If you registered your copy with adobe, you may find download links by going to the main page of adobe.com and clicking on My Adobe and working through the links there. If they're still available there, save the downloads this time, don't just run them, since adobe only makes those available for about 3 years.

How to link the main site menu to an anchor on a subpage?

How to link the main site menu (masterpage) to an anchor possition on a subpage? Is that possible. I would like the the contact menu to link to specific anchors location contact FAQ hours. The way I do it now. I have to create seperate html pages, I would rather do it on one page. Thanks
http://beta.tmj-sleep.ca/index.html

Hello,
To link a website Menu to anchors on any page in the website, you need to create a manual menu using the Menu Widget. You can change Menu to a manual Menu by clicking on the white arrow in Blue Circle which comes up at the top right of the Menu (Menu properties) and select the Menu type as Manual. Please have a look at the screenshot below :
Now you can add change/add the text there and when you select the text/menu item then from the Hyperlink drpdown at the top in the toolbar, you can select the name of the anchor on any page of your website.
Anchors are listed in Hyperlink dropdown in this format - Page Name:Anchor Name.
Hope this helps.

Sachin

Interactive Report Download Link Question

I have an interactive report where I have outer joined to a table that contain blobs that I want the user to be able to click a link to download. I have a custom procedure that works with the download link. However I can't figure out how to get the download link to only appear for the records that actually have a file (since it is outer joined, only some of the records have a blob file associated with them).
Click this link to see a screenshot of the report example.
The existing column with the download link was created as a column link, where I specify the url (to my custom download proc). The problem as you can see is that it puts the download link in that column for every row, whether there really is a file to download or not. I'd rather only have a download link where there is a file to download for that record (see the My File column).
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

HOT TIP
If you are passing parameters into your download procedure in the URL then the users will be able to hack the URL and download information they shouldn't be able to. More worrying, if you have granted execute to public (which I think you have to) on the Procedure then information can be downloaded without the user being authenticated.
The solution is to have a page in the application with an On Load - Before Header process that calls the procedure, with some hidden items as parameters for the procedure. You can then evoke the procedure by branching to the page in the usual way and setting the page items in the URL. This will also allow you to add the additional Apex security features such as Session State Protection (Page requires a Checksum). Remember to revoke the execute privileges from Public.
Change the report link to:
SELECT some_columns,
NVL2(my_file,'Download',null) link
FROM your_table Then use the 'column link' region to create the link in the usual way and set the Link Text to #LINK#. If you have set the target page to require a Checksum this will then be added without having to code it into your sql.
I hope that makes some sense?

Download Link as a Column of Report

Hi All,
I really tried from my side to somehow implement this requirement but couldn't find a way.
Requirement: A report with two main columns - One has unique value and the other has a download link. This download link need to be used to fetch a set of data from the database table using the other column's (unique) value. Then, user should get a popup on his screen to download the fetched data in csv format.
Please give some guidance or pointers to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Mangal

Hi Mangal
I've done this before actually. You can create a dummy page with a process (on load before header) as a PL/SQL anonymous block. I got code from Denes Kubicek's site which has details of how to generate CSV output using the htp.prn funtion. Then I created the 'download' link in a report column to go to that page passing a value into a hidden field with the unique id of the row.
The code on the new page looks something like this but I would refer to Denes' work for full information (most of this is copied from him).
BEGIN
-- Set the MIME type
owa_util.mime_header( 'application/octet', FALSE );
-- Set the name of the file
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="download.csv"');
-- Close the HTTP Header
owa_util.http_header_close;
htp.prn('Header Name,');
FOR x IN   (SELECT field1, field2, field3...
              FROM my_table
              WHERE my_id = :PX_HIDDEN_ID)
LOOP
-- Print out a portion of a row,
-- separated by commas and ended by a CR
htp.prn(chr(34)||x.field1   || chr(34) ||','|| chr(34) || x.field2   || chr(34) ||',' ||
         chr(34)||x.field3..... || chr(34) ||chr(13));
END LOOP;
-- Send an error code so that the
-- rest of the HTML does not render
htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
END;Hope this helps.

Gallery download link possible, like sites published from iPhoto

Hi all,
I've got a few photo galleries posted from iWeb. I like the style better than posting pictures from iPhoto as you can do so much more with text, both in adding descriptive text to pages as well as captions on the photos themselves. The one thing I do miss, however, is the ability to allow people to download the whole gallery from one simple download link. I like the way iPhoto does it when posting it's galleries, as the .zip file is generated when the user actually clicks on the "download album" link. Does anyone know whether this is possible in iWeb? I understand that one could upload a zip file to one's own iDisk and then link to it from the page, but I find Apple's implementation in iPhoto much more appealing.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Bogie

You mean "upload"?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
