Advantages and protocol on listing a page of links to other sites

Hi, Once again, I have questions about my site www.freemodelguild.com. the question is more a general question for experienced web designers not about Muse specifically.
Most of the art groups in our area have a page that lists all the other art groups in the area, and so this organization is suggesting we do the same thing. I know having other links on a site can help with our search engine optimization, and we are trying to drive traffic to our site, so I think it's a good idea. However, should I just copy a list of all the other arts organizations? Should I write to their webmasters and ask them to link to us? Should I write and ask for permission to link to them? I just don't know what the protocol is.
Again this is such a non-web savvy group, they know they want a website, but have no idea what should and could be done so I've had wing this thing. I'm a print designer and, of course, things are done a little differently with print.
I appreciate all the feedback I get from this forum.

Generally you would have no problem adding links to other sites without asking. No website owner will tell you you can't as the more links they have coming to their site the better. I have always had mixed feelings on that type of thing. One thing to remember is the more external links you have the more work it is to make sure they all work. Dead links make your site look bad as well as bad for search engines so you would have to constantly be checking that the sites are still operational or the link hasn't changed.
So over the years I personally have found it better to just supply a small handful of links (maybe no more than 5) that I think will benifit my site visitors directly. Almost always it is a very well established long standing site so I know it is worthwhile/relevant and most likely not to dissapear.
Remember that when you do link to an external site to set the target to open in a new browser window. Also keep in mind that the more external links you have the more you are pushing your visitor to somewhere else.

When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. How can I resolve this?

When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.

DW5 - How to list all pages that link to a specific page?

Hi all, I'm using DW5 and need to completely remove a specific page. How can I get DW to check through the whole site and make a list of all other pages that link directly to the page I want to remove?
I'm sure it must be simple, but can't seem to get the result I need. Can someone spare a few minutes to spell it out for me please?

I would do a Find on the page name...source code...in the entire local site...and be given a list of pages that include that page name. Then you can go into the Results window, where they are listed, and by double-clicking go directly to each reference.
You may also save a copy of the report in XML... (the save icon is a small floppy disk image on the left border of the Results Panel.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Older versions of Firefox allowed me to click on the "back" button and see the list of pages where I had been in that tab. You took that away or you hid it. If you hid it, where did it go? If you took it away, bring it back.

Just see my original question. I think I pretty much summed it up OK there.

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:
* Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/

Can I list all invalid *internal* links within a site?

Hi,
we are automatically migrating content from LiveLink WCMS to CQ5. After the migration process there will be a small number of links (in text) which point to resources (mostly PDF) but contain errors. We would like to automatically determine all occurences of invalid internal links and list them for manual correction.
But there seems to be only the external link checker, which produces a list (and we need internal links to be checked).
And the usual internal link check seems to be active only during page authoring (and does not produce lists across all pages).
Is there such a thing (or can it be easily built) like an internal link checker which crawls the whole site?
Thanks for any help.
Henning

Hi Henning,
AFAIK out of the box there is no such option. You need to build one.
Thanks,

SPD 2013 Workflow - Create list item with people picker in other site collection

Hi all,
I read a lot of blogs and forum posts the last couple of days, but I seem to be stuck as to why my workflow is not working as expected - thus, I thought I would ask the experts :-)
Setup:
2 lists in 2 different site collections
http://svr-url/servicedesk/tickets
http://svr-url/projects/requests
SharePoint 2013 on Prem
I try to create a SPD 2013 workflow that creates a new item in list "requests" once a certain trigger is set in list "tickets". One of the fields I need to copy is the requestor = People picker field.
I did a web service call with a REST call to create a list item. All works well as long as I just stick to Title and other text fields, but filling in the "Requestor" fails with "Bad request".
I learned I need to use the "RequestorID" field and in a blog I read I need to put in the user id as Int32. So I set the parameters in the dictionary to integer. Still I get "bad request".
Another issue: as I have lists from 2 site collections, the user id differs for the same user.
/servicedesk: ID = 9
/projects: ID = 22
Additionally, the possibility exists that the user I try to set is not already existent in the /projects user information list.
How can I deal with that?

That could be Intellitxt or you might have some malware installed.
If you have Adblock Plus you could add a block for "||intellitxt.com".

Please help, I've tried everything! Gmail won't open, it just endlessly cycles and rarely even gives me an error message: all other sites work fine (Windows 8).

All sites work fine except Gmail will not load. I prefer Firefox, but to be fair, Chrome and IE are doing the same thing when I try to use them. Occasionally Gmail will pop up, most of the time it just endlessly cycles and I don't even get an error message. I'm going to have to get rid of gmail if this goes on.
It's maddening! I've tried everything I could find on mozilla support--restarted in safe mode, clear cache, cookies, etc. This is a brand new Windows 8 laptop. It started a few weeks after I got it. There is nothing else wrong with it, it had a fresh new OS installed before I got it. Please help! Thanks so much.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Hi Gurprit,
1.> How i attached my application to iview ?
       You can attach your application to web Dynpro IView, for this login into portal, in the Content Management tab right click on a folder, then New --> IView. Select WD java Application. Select your application and create an Iview.
2.> How i created Transaction iview ?
       Similarly, instead of selecting WD java Application, select iView template, you will get a list of available templates, and in this you will find template for Transaction Iview, in this template define the Tx for which you want to create the template.
3.> Can i attache my application iview with transaction iview if it is possible then how ?
      No, I dont think you can attach your application to transaction Iview. but, you can attach both IViews on single page.
4.> Can i display My application iview and transaction iview in single page ?
      Yes, you can attach both IViews on single page. Again in Content Management tab, crate a PAGE; Then right click on created IViews and select add IView to Page ßß: Delta Link.
Hope this helps.

Get Managed Metadata (Taxonomy) ALL Lists with Columns and ALL Choice Lists with Columns VALUES programmatically

Hi there,
How to get Managed Metadata Lists ALL Columns and ALL Choice Lists Columns that are used in the Site Collection programmatically please.
Regards

Hi sharepointaju,
Managed Metadata list is a hidden list, that you can access it through
http://siteurl/Lists/TaxonomyHiddenList/AllItems.aspx, then it is similar to other lists, you can use server or client code to interate each field in the list, show the the value for each item.
For all choice list columns, I'm not clear what you mean in this situation, do you mean to get all choice columns in the site collection, if so, iterate site columns, and lists to get list fields, check whether it is a choice type field.
This may be not your requirement, please provide more information how you want to get which value.
Thanks,
Qiao Wei

I just asked for help with the problem that ebay is my home page and firefox 7 will not load ebay, but will load all other sites. Then it sends me on this loop back to this same page with no help. I'm not all that computer literate, and I need help!!!

The problem is simply this...www.ebay.com/ is my homepage. But, Firefox 7 can't load ebay, for some reason on my computer. I have checked other computers, and ebay is working. My computer loads all other sites.

Create links to other Pages documents

I am a singer and have been using a binder with all my lyrics in it for shows. I got an iPad for my birthday and want to use it in the binder's place. With each show the set list changes and I'd like to be able to create a setlist document in Pages with links to other Pages documents with the corresponding lyrics. The lyrics documents would be static; the setlist document would always be changing. The links in the setlist document would be like hyperlinks of sorts, except instead of taking you to the web, they would take you to other Pages documents in the My Documents folder in Pages.
I've searched all over the place for a solution. I've even tried using spotlight to search for the lyrics documents as a workaround, but spotlight doesn't find the Pages documents. Is this something I can set up on my MacBook and then transfer to my iPad? Is there other software besides Pages that can do this?
Thank you in advance!

I think it would be much simpler to save your lyrics as pdfs and use one of the many dedicated music apps that allow you to create setlists. I use forScore (love it!), but you might also check out Unreal Book and Music Reader.
If you have a Mac, of course it's a cinch to print any file to PDF. For windows, possibly the free version of CutePDF would work for you.
EDIT I see you already have these printed out in binders. Just scan to PDF, then.

TREX Search : static HTML pages in KM with links to other intranet websites

Hi there,
we have some static HTML pages stored in KM. Besides text, these pages contain links ot other intranet websites, pdf or word documents.
I have defined an index, according to <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/73/66c090acf611d5993700508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">creating an index</a>
Following parameters have been added :
IndexInternalLinks = true
indexContentOfExternalLink = true
showWithoutDatasource = true
Already had a look at <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/46/5d5040b48a6913e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">Crawlers and Crawler Parameters</a>, tried by creating a new crawler profile and setting
Maximum Depth = 3 (we want to search three levels deep)
There is also <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/46/5d5040b48a6913e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">Resource Filters</a>
The html pages itself are included in the index, but the content of the external links is not included.
Would this be possible? We don't want to define an <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/73/66c090acf611d5993700508b6b8b11/frameset.htm">HTTP System</a> in the system landscape, as we don't need to index the whole external website and some parts of it are obsolete - we only want following the links and included the external content in the index.
Portal version is NW2004S SP10.
Thanks & best regards,
Kevin
