Changing Sitewide Links in DW CS3

Hello
I am working for an client to help update their website and have been working on their Dreamweaver 2007 system.
(I'm fairley new to DW, but have goLive experience on MACOSX)
they have an older DW CS3 running on Windows XP. Using Firefox current.
this issue may be common to other versions though:
I am trying to update a single 'hotspot' homepage link to redirect to different another page within the site.
This 'hotspot' is a link to a Login page restircted to :members only". We wish to bypass this page and link it to a
Welcome.asp page which is 'all -access".
I assumed the safest (non-destructive) way to do this was to redirect links internally from the hotspot on every page in which it occurs.
After 11 page updatess successfully redirecting this process stopped workingand all pages magically and maddingly reverted to linking
to the Login page in browser.
While i have found and used the DW feature to "change all links" within the site files, I'm contiuing to get the
incorrect (original) page when refreshing cache and checking it using my browser.
Tried it several times and thought the links seems good in Admin side , the online display is not linking correctly.
There are many instances of this site link and each one I've checked seems to point in the correct redirect page location,
but not linking on the online side.
I'd appreciate any clues, workarounds or suggestions to why this is not working.
Do they need to upgrade to CS5 , or is that still going to yield the same problem...seems it might.
Cheers in advance

Using CS4 can't change a link sitewide TO a pdf!! Workaround?

That says it all. Just want to change a link from a html file to a pdf that I have considerably marked up and when I choose find the file to change to, all pdf's are greyed out. Very frustrating!!

How are you trying to link to your file? There are two ways to do this in DW:
1) you can simply change to code view and enter your link manually;
2) you can do this in design view and use the DW's dialog box to guide you step by step.
If you use the dialog box method, use thiese steps:
a) Insert >> Hyperlink
b) you get a box like this:
c) In the Link line there is an icon which is marked with an arrow. click on it and browse your files. Make sure files of types is marked as All files (*.*)

Sitewide link change?

I have a link on my website that I would rather have open up
in a new window. There are 162 pages on my site. Do I have to go
into each page and change that link or is there a way to make the
change once and have it affect the whole site?

If this is a specific link, just do a Find and Replace:
ctrl+f or cmd+f. For Find in select entire site or choose folder to
select a specific folder. For Search choose source code. Under find
copy the code for the link you want to replace ie:
<a href="page.html">linktxt</a>
and replace with:
<a href="page.html" target="_blank">linktxt</a>
You might want to back up your html files first as there's no
way to undo find and replaces in files that are not currently
open.

Can't change a linked image???

I have a lot left to learn in Dreamweaver but linking images I've done alot, I hope someone can help me on what I'm doing wrong. The linked image won't let me change links. Here is the home page http://kmmcement.com/. The bottom right picture under click to view slideshow is linked to slideshow.html. I changed the slideshow and named the new one ss.html. When I right click the picture and choose Change Link and select my new ss.html, it does not change it in the code. I tried manually to change it in the code and publish, but the new page won't load up (although when I preview the page, it loads fine.)
The only thing I've done differently on this site is that I finally learned to get the bottom navigation links to work without looking jumpy and jittery when clicking or rolling over them, by going to Modify - Page Properties and choosing links and set them up there (basic that I should've learned awhile ago). I didn't do the navigation bar until last, so would that have anything to do with not being able to change the link? If so, then how can I change it to where only the bottom navigation has it's own style as I'm sure there's going to be alot more links I'm going to be adding.
Thank you in advance for any help. (By the way, I'm using Dreamweaver CS3)

Starting on line 215 of your code, you have this:
<tr>
<td height="338"><div align="center">
<p class="style11">CLICK TO VIEW SLIDESHOW!</p>
<p><a href="slideshow.html"><img
src="images/slideshowpic.JPG" width="347" height="223"
border="0"/></a></p>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
Try changing it to this:
<tr>
<td height="338" style="text-align:center">
<p class="style11"><a href="ss.html">CLICK TO VIEW SLIDESHOW!</a></p>
<p><a href="ss.html"><img src="images/slideshowpic.JPG" width="347" height="223" border="0"/></a></p>
</td>
</tr>
Save. Upload page to server along with ss.html page. Hit refresh in your browser.

Strange problem with changing external links site-wide

Hi, i'm having a problem that i just cant work out; i'll describe whats happening and would greatly apriciate any help anyone can give.
when i type in an external/absolute link in dreamweaver sidewide change link function i keep getting a message saying it cant find any links with that name ("no links to.....found".
i've tried creating a simple link in my index.html like http://google.com then searching for that so i know its there and dreamweaver still tells me that http://google.com, www.google.com, /google.com and every other variation i can think of doesnt exist. In addition to that when i search for broken links and click external links to try changing them there, the search function finds the links i'm looking for and lets me type in the new link i want but when i hit enter it reverts to the old link.
at first i thought it was a problem with my copy of dreamweaver but i downloaded my site to a hard drive and tried on my uni computers copy of dw cs3 and cs4 with the same outcome.
i have about 1000 of the particular link in my site that i need to change and really dont want to do this manually, if anyone could help i'd be extremely grateful.
thanks, Andy

note: although it seems straight forward i also followed youtube guides on defining my site and changing the links to make sure i hadnt missed something obvious.
although it still maybe something obvious i just cant see it and i've been googling to find out if other people have had this problem but couldnt find anything

How do I stop Safari from Changing Visited Links Color's?

I recently switched from Firefox to Safari since I find Safari much faster. I do have one annoyance though. When I click a link (especially in forums) and revisit a page with that link, Safari is changing the link's color. Firefox did this too, it changed visited links from blue to purple.
I would like to set it somehow so Safari doesn't change the color of visited links at all. Is this possible? When I googled I saw many different posts about using custom made CSS style sheets. I just want to get an 'official' or more relevant answer since many opf those posts were years old. I'm using the latest Safari.
Thanks!

AFAIK, it's not possible with preferences, per se. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7183566 and http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/stylesheets/csslinks.html for possible hints. You might also investigate modifying one of Safari's css files, inside the Safari app—left as an exercise, with no guarantees that you won't cripple something.

Missing Parameter Values while using Change SubReport links

Hi,
I am using Change SubReport Links to pass data from Main Report to the SubReport. The report works fine at design time when I preview it, but at runtime I get "Missing Parameter Values" error.
As I have used Chanage SubReport Links do I still need to pass the parameter to the SubReport from the code.
cr.Export gives this error.
Below is the code
ExportOptions crExportOptions;
        DiskFileDestinationOptions crDiskFileDestinationOptions;
        string Fname = string.Empty;
        string strReportName = string.Empty;
        ReportDocument cr = new ReportDocument();
        string strReportPath = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath.ToString() + @"Members\Reports\UnPaidReceipt.rpt";
        if (!System.IO.File.Exists(strReportPath))
            throw (new Exception("Unable to locate report file:\n" + strReportPath));
        cr.Load(strReportPath);
        MtollBLL Unpaid = new MtollBLL();
        cr.SetDataSource(Unpaid.GetUnpaidPayments().DefaultView.Table);
        // Set the Crytal Report Viewer control's source to the report document.
        CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cr;
        MtollBLL Violation= new MtollBLL();
        cr.Subreports[0].SetDataSource(Violation.GetReportViolation().DefaultView.Table);
        // cr.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
        Response.Write( cr.Subreports[0].DataDefinition.ParameterFields.Count);
        Fname = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath.ToString() + Session.SessionID.ToString() + ".pdf";
        crDiskFileDestinationOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();

Is there a good way to automate changing existing links to external PDFs to instead be to PDF attachments with same names?

Greetings!
Can anyone tell me a good way to automate changing a "main" PDF's existing hyperlinks to external PDFs to instead be links to PDF attachments to the main PDF (the attached PDFs to have the same filenames as the external PDFs) ?
Format of current link in main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\\path\filename.pdf
Destination name: P:1
When link is manually changed to link to a PDF that has been attached to the main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: PDF attachment
Page: 1
Zoom level: Fit page
The new PDF link does not list the PDF attachment filename in the link.
The main PDF (the one that has the links that I would like to automatically change) is generated with the hyperlinks to other PDFs from Adobe FrameMaker 11. In FrameMaker11, we added special marker text "openpage filename.pdf:1" that is "automatically" changed to be hyperlinks to external PDFs when the main PDF is created (postscript file is processed) by Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.
My first choice is to be able to change the format of the special marker text in Adobe FrameMaker source file, but I have not found way to specify a link to be to a PDF attachment with a certain filename.
However, I would also really like the option of running a batch file on a main PDF to change the links there.
Has anyone tried using that Adobe ExtendScript ToolKit CS6 to do this? That is, a script that could automatically modify the hyperlinks in a PDF to link to PDF attachments rather than external PDFs, or else modify the unprocessed links while they are still in Postscript file format, or else modify the marker text in FrameMaker to instead of creating a link to a PDF in the same directory as the main PDF being processed, to create a link to a PDF attachment files?
Thank you,
Judith Wallace

FrameMaker's Hypertext feature has no ability to "link" to an attachment on/in a target PDF.
PDFs sourced from FM can have named destinations set in the FM authoring files such that a link from file01.fm to the specified named destination in file01.fm will be functional in the PDFs created from the FM files.
Then, of course, there's the dynamics possible by use o FM Books. But that's the grist for the mills at the FM user-2-user forum.
RE: Scripting - PDF scripting is via Acrobat JavaScript. That something still of and by Adobe although it may migrate to an ISO Standard (or be rolled up in a future ISO 32000).
So, to the point - look to Acrobat JavaScript for scripting.
Be well...

My biggest 'pain' at the moment is that every time I go to change then save a Photoshop CS3 file it says 'cannot save as the file as it has been left open or is in use by another application'

Rule Number One - NEVER go directly uinto the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it and making any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause data or photo loss
Exactly how were you trying to save a copy of your iPhoto library?
Albumdata.xml does not contain your photos - and again NEVER make any changes to the content of the iPhoto library - no dragging - no changes - never go into the library
We need to know exactly what you did
And probalby the easiest solution is to load your backup from before you messed things up
For reference after you get things working
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How can i make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

How can I make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

I could be snarky and say change the image in a different version of Photoshop, but NO...
The only way to make a photo that is one size into another size is to change the image. You have a few choices about how to change it:
One way is to simply expand the height from 6.6 to 8 inches using Image>Canvas Size, using the default setting of having the image centered and leaving the background either black or white, your preference. This will add background color to the top and bottom of your image. This won't change the image itself, but it will change its surroundings.
Another way is to resize the image using Image>Image Size, entering the new dimensions after turning off the aspect ratio lock (resample on). This will stretch the image vertically, however, so it's probably not a good option.
Finally, you could resize the image using Image>Image Size, leaving the aspect ratio lock on and resample on, and increase the height from 6.6 to 8. This will have the secondary effect of enlarging the width from 10" to a greater width. Then you crop the resulting image back down to 10" width, which involves losing some edge areas of the image.

Changing a link in a pdf

Hi peeps,
I wonder if anybody has any syggestion on how to change a link in a pdf. I don't seem to be able to attach a document though. Say that in my document I want to change the link from what it is "See more information on the BBC website" to say something like "see more information on the Reuters website", how do I do that? I thought it was straighforward (I have Adobe Acrobat 8 pro) and I went to Tools--> advanced editing-->Touch up text tool, and attempted to delete "BBC website" but it removes just the txt and leaves the line under the text. If I then type "Reuters" there is no way that I can shorten the link line under Reuters and make the link.
Any suggestion?
thanks

Thanks, I couldn't find any graphic object tool though...where is it? I manged to delete it using the touch up object tool first (for the line) and then the touchup text tool after to remove the text. But how do I make a new link now do you know? You see I am assuming here that I don't have access to the original file in word so I will have to modify the pdf
thanks

Change Password link is not showing up in MyAccount Page

Change Password link is not showing up in MyAccount Page, eventhough the line
<class name="PasswordPortalSetting"/> is not commented out in DisplayPortalSettings.xml
We are using custom Auth source and not using plumtree Auth source, Is this could be a reason?
Any help is appreciated.

I'm seeing the same thing as Simon, I changed the iOS device name in both places on an iOS device and the name in the Intune console is still "iPhone" which is really unhelpful as I'm sure you can imagine. Is there some other place
that we should be going to rename devices so they are more easily identifiable in the Intune console?
Thanks!

Can i make a button change anchor link when you scroll down the site?

I am trying to make a scroll site.. and i have navigation buttons on the right, a full menu, but also a "1 topic up" button and "1 topic down" button.
Is there any way that i can have those buttons change anchor link when you scroll down the site.
Example:
I am at home, then i press "1 topic down" and gets scrolled to the next topic on the website, but then i cant make the button change to link to the anchor below that, so the button becomes useless after that 1 press.
Is that in any way possible in Muse to make it change link?

Hi
You can try to create different buttons on page positions where down scrolling will be active with separate button actions. For example you click on "I topic down" , page scrolls and there is another button placed with "Next Topic down" , on click this would scroll the page more and similarly along the length of page.
Button with anchor link scrolling down the page cannot be used for different anchor links, creating different buttons with anchors is the solution.
Thanks,
Sanjit
