Can I add a topic link to a desktop layout sidebar tab?

Hello,
I'm currently working in Robohelp 10 and using a modified version of the desktop layout. We don't need the Glossary tab in the sidebar, so I'd like to replace it with a Videos tab instead. I was able to add a new tab to the sidebar without a problem, but I'm having difficulty figuring out where to go from here. Ideally, when users click on Videos, I'd like it to launch one of our topics that already lists all our current videos and includes links to them. Is it possible to do this? Or is my only option to manually add the video links to that tab's section in the Topic.slp HTML? I'd like to avoid this if possible, since it would mean maintaining the videos list in multiple locations within the help project.
Thanks in advance,
Alison

The question is always how much time and effort you are willing to invest. The easy answer is that the tab in the sidebar does not load topics, or any other data for that matter. If you want this behaviour, you will have to create it yourself.
It is possible to create a script to load the list of video's from a predetermined location. But if you want to get it from a topic, the script will have to be interesting as it will require a lot of parsing the topic to get the relevant data. An easier solution would be to maintain an XML with links and descriptions and read that. I offer consultancy for building precisely these kinds of solutions. Please PM me if you want to know more.
Kind regards,
Willam

How can i add a new link to Portal favorites?

Hi,
I have created a portal application and configured it to a porta frame work page byy adding iViews and portal pages.
I would like to display an iView as a link in the portal favorites. I have added it to portal favorites as related link. But nothing is displayed in the portal favorites when i logged in as application user.
How can i add a link to the created iView just like the "DeveloperContent" link shown in portal favorites when we login as portal administrator?
Your help and suggestions solicited...
Best regards,
Sudheesh

Hi Sudheesh,
The Related Links option is for Content Administrators to add links that they think will be useful for a certain page or iView...an end user can't add their own links to the Related Links iView. Also, you don't need Knowledge Management installed in the Portal for the Related Links iView to work. Also, Related Links will be available only on the pages/iViews that the Content Administrator has created them.
Read more about Related Links here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/1d37600aa111d7b84700047582c9f7/frameset.htm
Portal Favorites is a nice option for end users to decide which iViews or pages they would like to be available from every Portal page.
To open new iViews/pages in a new window, rather than in the current Content Area, adjust the Workprotect mode of the portal (either the user can do it for their preference or the Administrator can do it for everyone):

Can I add a text link to another place in a Pages v5 file?

Simple question:
Can I add a text link to another place in a Pages v5 file?
My client would like to include a visible, inline Table of Contents in his ePub. Apple Pages v5 deletes the visible Table of Contents. Can I manually create a Table of Contents with clickable links to the appropriate chapters?

Pages 5's greatest claim to fame is its general inability to do anything much, aka "simplification".
So the answer is No! and because this is also Apple, You don't want to do that!
Luckily however, should you still have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder, you can use that instead.

Can i add a "print" link in standard KM iViews??

Hi All,
I have done some Portal development.
I am new to KM.
I have some doubts:
1. I want to develop custom News Component, Discussion Group & Discussions etc.. What perspective I should use? I mean, is it PDK? Or is there something else?
2. In a standard KM iView (for ex: in a news iView), can I add a link called print (say) to print the whole content in the iView? Or should I have to make a custom development for that.
 Please tell me what I should refer to. Any classes like IRoom, IDisscussionGroup etc..????
Plz help me.
Regards,
Sai Krishna.

Any ideas/solutions? Please do share.

Can't add JMS topics using weblogic.Admin

I have seen a similar problem being mentioned before on this board, except it occurred more directly through management APIs. I'm working with Weblogic 6.1, and trying to create a JMSTopic from command-line using weblogic.Admin
First I create a JMSServer (using CREATE operation) and set its Targets attribute (using SET). Then I create a JMSTopic (again, using CREATE) and set its JNDIName attribute (again, using SET). All of this works fine, and I see the new JMSServer in the console correctly targeting the right server, and I see both the JMSServer and JMSTarget entries in the config.xml of my domain.
Now, I try to add the topic under the server using addDestination method (through weblogic.Admin operation INVOKE). addDestination returns "false" with no further explanation or exceptions. If I try to go through the SET operation and target the Destinations property of JMSServer, again I get a silent failure with no further info.
Is this a bug? Has someone ever succeeded in doing this before? Any Ideas?
Thanks!
-Boris

I'm replying to my own message because a kind soul gave me the solution. Apparently
it's not documented (or at least not well enough that I could find it), so I'm reiterating
it for the benefit of others.
In order to register a JMSTopic (or a JMSQueue) under a JMSServer, you do not use
the addDestination or setDestinations methods on the JMSServer. Instead, you set
the (un-exposed) Parent property on the topic or queue MBean. For example, if I
had created a JMSServer MyJmsServer and a JMSTopic MyJmsTopic, I would need to issue
the following command:
weblogic.admin <usual url/username/password stuff> SET -mbean "mydomain:Name=MyJmsTopic,Type=JMSTopic"
-property Parent "mydomain:Name=MyJmsServer,Type=JMSServer"
My heartfelt thanks to you, Ajay!

Can you add the entire content of your desktop to the allowable locations in flash player?

can you add the entire content of desktop to the allowable locations in flash player? when i click 'add' to allowable locations and type in file:///C:/Documents and Settings under website (i know it's not the website but where else would it be added) it doesn't show up in the overall list of allowable 'sites'.

Hi radwh,
Are you talking about trying to add your desktop to Flash Player's trusted locations? If so, you use the "Advanced" tab on the Local Settings Manager to designate folders and files as trusted. (Full path is Advanced->Developer Tools->Trusted Location Settings.) Here's a link to the documentation for that: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlayer/LSM/WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7ff0.htm l .
Hope this helps, and get back to me with further details if this is not what you were asking.
Thanks,

RoboHelp 8 - Can you add a download link inside a topic to download a Captivate demo?

I want to give Users the option to actually download an SWF demo that I've created with Captivate 4 and imported into RoboHelp8. I don't know how to do this. The files are inside the RoboHelp project. I just don't know how to set up a download script. Has anyone ever done this before and if so what did you do to make it work.
Thankds Deb.

Hi there
Any link to a SWF will likely result in the SWF opening in the viewer window. Probably it would be best to zip the SWF if you wish to allow downloading. The only other thing that comes to mind is to possibly instruct the user that they may right-click and choose to save the file.
Cheers... Rick

Can I add an internal link in a Pages 5.5.2 Document

In previous versions of Pages I could add a link from a word in my document to, say, a topic in a different place in the document. Either I've forgotten how to do it or the ability has gone away. Can someone help?

Thank you for the (sad) information. When I try to open my document that I had already updated in v5 with v4.3 it says it can't be opened because the required index.xml file is missing. Any idea how to get around that?

Can Contribute add, delete, edit links in this photo gallery?

I'm not having much luck getting Contribute CS4 to delete or add photos, with correct nav, to the gallery below.
It takes them out, leaving a blank page, or adds them in, not linked to the buttons. Replacing the photo with a new photo also gives a blank page.
http://www.studioegraphics.com/photography/index.html
This gallery lives in it's own folder and with it's links to next/previous neighbor .jpg files.
How would I get Contribute to add a new photo into the set or delete a photo from the set, with correct navigation?

Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Now try editing them again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How can I add document-internal links in Pages 5?

I have a number of very large dicttionary documents (300+ pages) all of which have internal links. The internal links allow you to jump from one letter to another, so that, for example, if you're looking at words that begin with S, you can go to the A-Z letterboard at the beginning and end of the S section and immediately jump to any other section. I've also got links in the middle of the document leading to parts in the front matter (so, for example, a mention of the word "relative clause" will be linked to a section in the grammar discussing relative clauses). The nice thing is that these links would remain active when exported to .pdf, so when I shared them with others, the internal links continued to function. Each document has hundreds of these internal links. All of them appear to have been broken by the new version of Pages.
Is there a way to create document internal links like the ones I used to use for Pages '09, or has this functionality been forever removed from Pages? If the latter, who do I scream at?

Bookmarks have been removed along with 100 other features.
You could post at Menu > Pages > Provide Pages Feedback but that is pointless in my experience
Instead rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store where everyone can see it. In our local App Store, Pages 5.1 is back down to 2 stars with again 61% of users saying they hate it.
Pages '09 should be in your Applications/iWork folder, use that instead.

I don't believe that SimpleAttributeSet is right for HTMLDocument. In your code, you regard a HTML.Tag as a AttributeSet. Apparently this is not the absolute truth. May be I'm wrong, then one may correct me.
My suggest�on is to use string concatenation to make the HTML for the link and then use HTMLEditorKit.read to put this HTML into the HTMLDocument on caret position.

 JFrame frame = new JFrame("FrameDemo");
 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

 jeditorpane.setText("Hello World");
//insert a link on caret position
String link = "mw/client/cd/plytacd.html";
String htmlstring = "<a href=\"";
htmlstring += link + "\">";
htmlstring += "some link" + "</a>";
try {
jeditorpane.getEditorKit().read(new StringReader(htmlstring), jeditorpane.getDocument(), jeditorpane.getCaretPosition());
} catch (BadLocationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
 System.out.println(jeditorpane.getText());
