Content Collector Tool - Link Options (InDesign CC)

I've created a link and amended a headline (40pt size) in my print (parent) version and I want to link that change to the headline (20pt size) in my iPad (child) version without losing the type size? I've ticked the boxes of what I want to preserve in the link options panel but when I update the link it still warns me that I will lose any local edit changes (it reverts to the 40pt size headline in the parent version). How do I solve this problem? Thanks.

Found a potential work-around (I think....).
1. Use the Content Collector tool and select grouped objects
2. Select Content Placer tool, check "Create Link"
3. Place grouped object into doc/onto page with Content Placer tool
4. Copy placed grouped objects
5. Paste into frame that will be scrollable later
For now it seems like the link still works

How to place grouped items into another object with content collector tool?

Is it possible to paste a group into another object (i.e. frame) by using the Content Collector Tool while linking the content? Paste Into is either deselected or possibly whatever was last saved to the clipboard ends up inserting. I was able to place grouped, linked content into a frame (and later applied a scrollable frame overlay to it) once or twice but can't seem to repeat. Tried selecting the object being pasted into.. holding shift, holding ctrl, all kinds of options, just very confused now.

Content collector tool changes object names randomly (!)

Hi there,
I am using the content collector tool to bring identical MSOs and buttons to a horizontal page (which might look the same as the vertical), and when I place all the stuff in the H page, all buttons and so the MSO changes its names adding "numbers" at the end of...
It is a bit frustrating, having to "rename" it all to its original names. As fair as I have read in Adobe Guidelines and tutorial videos, all buttons and MSOs should be named the same, for Analytics purposes... So, is there a way I can do to avoid these inconvenient changes? Or is this not that important and I'm being so fussy about the thing??!
Thanks!

A good tutorial/introduction but I have no idea why in the world would anyone go through all this instead of copy/paste in two key strokes??? this is not a feature, it's just bloat for the sake of being "kind of cool."
as for the actual interface - "you can't drag and drop" that would make too much sense.... "don't use the esc key" that would make too much sense....

[Forum FAQ] A content management tool with dashboard based on SharePoint List

1.
Scenario:
The SharePoint OOTB List has saved us a lot of time on managing mess data. It provides three forms to create/view/edit items, the ability to save the views we want with some specific filtering and sorting condition, versioning for easy restoring, and we
can make it advanced with workflow contains the specific business logic.
However, if there is a need for better user experience, interacting with the public APIs and a bit of script to customize the web page would be required.
Suppose there is a requirement like this:
We need a content collection tool which collects ideas from contributors, the newly ideas will be reviewed by reviewers.
We may need to filter the list in a convenient way, get the wanted result with the data from the list and display in a chart or rank list.
We can add some buttons in Metro style to display the counting result of the data from the list dynamically. When we click them, the list will be filtered and sorted to display a friendly set of items. Also, we need to display a trend of the mess data graphically
in some beautiful charts. If we want to find out some outstanding contributors, top contributor board would be more comfortable than the top N items in the OOTB list view.
The page would look like this:
2.
Introduction:
Engineers will come up with some ideas in the daily job and write a content to enlighten others. Reviewers will help to review ideas or contents and publish the contents if qualified.
The complete process looks like this:
As we can see, only the approved idea can be written as a content and only the approved content can be published.
2.1
How it works
We build the whole tool in one page. All ideas and contents will be saved in a custom list. This is how it looks like:
There are three parts in this page:
1
2
2.1
2.1.1
Top menu
The top menu contains three elements:
A Drop Down menu for filtering data by team, it will refresh the other two parts with the filtered data:
A hyperlink “STATISTIC” links to a PowerBI report whose data source is the custom list.
A hyperlink “FEEDBACK” for collecting feedbacks:
The feedbacks will be saved in another list:
2.1.2
Information menu
This part will display the calculated data retrieved from the list within tiles, chart and ranking list.
The tiles can be clicked to filter and refresh the list view.
2.1.3
List view
A list stores all ideas and contents with the properties needed. It can be filtered by the Top menu and Information menu.
The customization on the OOTB custom list template makes it more powerful and more suit for this scenario:
1. An item leveled comment feature (based on OOTB Tags & Notes feature) for other users make comments to an idea or content:
2. Title column: When there is no attachment in the current item, it redirects to the default DisplayForm page. If there is, it will open the attachment (usually a .docx file) in Word Online in a new tab.
3. ECB menu: Add some custom shortcuts for popular actions:
4. A hyperlink column stores the hyperlink points to the website where the content is published to.
3.
How to achieve it
This solution will be hosted in SharePoint Online environment, so we do all the job using JavaScript, REST API and Client Object Model.
The Drop Down menu, tiles, rank list are generated with some HTML+CSS.
The Trend Chart, we take advantage of the Combo chart in the Google chart library.
The list view is hosted in a <iframe> which can be easily filtered and refreshed by just passing a generated URL with query string.
For the customization on the list view and the ECB menu, JSLink with Client Object Model would be OK.
3.1
Specific to every part
3.1.1
Top menu
3.1.1.1
Drop Down menu for retrieving filtered data and refreshing the display of the related controls
When user selects a team here, there will be a request sent out for retrieving items of the list. By default, the limit is 100 when using REST API to get list items, so we can append a “$top=1000” to require more items from server.
Code snippet like this:
$.ajax({
url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listName + "')/items?$top=1000",
method: "GET",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
success: function (data) {
console.log("getListItems succ");
console.log(data);
error: function (data) {
alert("getListItems error");
//failure(data);
Then we will get the “data” as a JSON format string, it contains all the values we need from the list:
We can get the values we want like this:
//get item Count
var arr = [], len;
for(key in data.d.results)
arr.push(key);
len = arr.length;
for(var ii=0; ii<len; ii++)
var team = data.d.results[ii].Team;
var month = data.d.results[ii].Month;
As we need to know the counts of each type of ideas or contents, we use an array for saving the counters:
//ary to store all counters for tiles: all/pendingIdea/pendingContent/my/approvedIdea/approvedContent
var aryAllCounters = [0,0,0,0,0,0];
for(var ii=0; ii<len; ii++)
//get pendingIdeaCount
if(data.d.results[ii].Statuss === 'Pending')
aryAllCounters[1]++;
Once all the numbers are ready, we can do the refreshing.
As the list view page is hosted in a <iframe>, all we need to do is passing a constructed URL with query string:
url_team = URL + "?FilterField1="+FIELD_MYTEAM+"&FilterValue1=" + sel_val;
$iframe.attr('src', url_team);
3.1.1.2
Hyperlink for popping up a dialog to collect feedbacks
The feedback dialog hosts another page which contains two buttons and one text area.
The HTML code of the FEEDBACK button:
<a id="feedback" href="#" onclick="javascript:openDialogBox('../SitePages/Feedback.aspx');">FEEDBACK</a>
The openDialogBox() function:
function openDialogBox(url){
var options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
options.url = url;
options.height = 130;
options.width = 425;
options.title = "Feedback";
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
In the Feedback.aspx page, when user click submit button, we will save the content of the text area into the feedback list:
function addListItem()
this.clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
this.oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('Feedback');
var itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
this.oListItem = this.oList.addItem(itemCreateInfo);
//set person field
var userValue = new SP.FieldUserValue();
//userValue.set_lookupId(this.currentUser.get_id());
userValue.set_lookupId(_spPageContextInfo.userId);
oListItem.set_item('Provider', userValue);
//Sets the specified field value
oListItem.set_item('Title', str);
//datetime field
var currDate = new Date();
oListItem.set_item('Submit_Time',currDate);
oListItem.update();
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded_add), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
3.1.2
Information menu
3.1.2.1
Tile shortcut
In the click event of the tiles, the code will pass a generated URL with query string to the <iframe>:
//filter list only
$tile.click(function(){
//distinguish tiles by id
var v = $(this).attr('id');
switch(v)
case S_MY_CONTENT:
url_team1 = URL + "?FilterField1="+FIELD_COMPOSER+"&FilterValue1=" + currentUsername;
break;
case S_PENDING_IDEA:
url_team1 = url_team + "&FilterField2="+FIELD_STATUS+"&FilterValue2=Pending&FilterField3="+FIELD_IDEATYPE+"&FilterValue3=Idea";
break;
$iframe.attr('src', url_team1);
3.1.2.2
Trend chart
The chart will be initialized with the numbers by month stored in a 3D array:
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawVisualization);
function drawVisualization(ary)
// Some raw data (not necessarily accurate)
var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable(ary);
var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
view.setColumns([0, 1,
{ calc: "stringify",
sourceColumn: 1,
type: "string",
role: "annotation"
2]);
// Create and draw the visualization.
var ac = new google.visualization.ComboChart(document.getElementById('chart1'));
ac.draw(view, {
//legend: 'top',
legend: {
title : '',
//width: 0,
//height: 285,
vAxis: {title: "", format:'#',viewWindowMode:'explicit',
viewWindow:{
min:0
},ticks: ticks
//hAxis: {title: ""},
lineWidth: 4,
bar: {groupWidth: "60%"},
seriesType: "bars",
series: {1: {type: "line"}},
chartArea:{
colors: ['#A4C400', '#F9A13B']
3.1.2.3
Top contributors rank list
When retrieving list items, we can get the “AuthorId” which represents the id of the user in the siteUserInfoList. We run another request to retrieve all items in the siteUserInfoList which stores the username with the URL of profile.
Then we can use a hash table(provided by jshashtable.js) to store the user id, username and profile URL:
$.ajax({
url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/siteUserInfoList/Items",
method: "GET",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
//get item Count
var arr = [], len;
for(key in data.d.results)
arr.push(key);
len = arr.length;
var ht_authors = new Hashtable();
for(var ii=0; ii<len; ii++)
if(authorSet.contains(data.d.results[ii].Id))
if(data.d.results[ii].Picture != null)
ht_authors.put(data.d.results[ii].Id, data.d.results[ii].Title+'|'+data.d.results[ii].Picture.Url);
else
ht_authors.put(data.d.results[ii].Id, data.d.results[ii].Title+'|');
console.log("ht_authors.keys(): "+ht_authors.keys());
console.log("ht_authors.values(): "+ht_authors.values());
error: function (data) {
alert("error");
//failure(data);
3.1.3
List view
For the Comment button, custom title link and the custom published link of each item, we can use JSLink to achieve.
Comment button: It is supposed to be the OOTB “Type” column, I change the icon and modify the click event of it to pop up a comment dialog which take advantage of the OOTB “Tags&Notes” feature;
Custom Title link: As there will be two situations of an item: has attachment or not. We will need to run a request to get the URL of attachment and change the hyperlink of the Title field accordingly:
(function () {
// Create object that have the context information about the field that we want to change it output render
var linkFiledContext = {};
linkFiledContext.Templates = {};
linkFiledContext.Templates.Fields = {
//"Attachments": { "View": AttachmentsFiledTemplate }
"LinkTitle": { "View": TitleFieldTemplate },
"Published_x0020_Link": { "View": PublishedLinkFieldTemplate },

How to make them work together
When selecting an option in the Drop Down menu, the Information menu and the List view will be refreshed separately.
When clicking the tiles, only the list view will be filtered and refreshed, the other parts will not be influenced.
When items created/modified, the whole page will be refreshed to keep all the numbers in each part updated. A workflow will also be triggered to inform engineers or reviewers the progress of an item or content.
3.3
Other customizations
3.3.1
ECB menu and permission control
As we need to refresh the page when new item or modify item, we put all the form pages in a custom modal dialog and execute the refresh in the success callback function.
There are three roles: Site owner, reviewer and engineer. They have limited privileges according to the roles they are:
Site owner: Full control on the list, can see all the buttons in the ECB menu;
Reviewer: There is another list which stores the names of each team and reviewers’ names of each team. The reviewer has limited full control only on the team they belong to. To other teams, the role can be seen as a visitor;
Composer
(create owner): The one who contribute an idea. For the ideas\contents from other teams, this role can be seen as visitor.
The ECB menu they can see is:
For the visitor, the ECB menu will only display a few buttons:
The code:
(function () {
var viewContext = {};

Workflow email customization
The email will only be sent to engineer or team reviewer in the three scenarios:
When engineer uploads an idea or content, reviewer will receive an email;
When engineer uploads a content to an existing idea, reviewer will receive an email;
When reviewer approve/reject an idea or content, engineer will receive an email;
The design of the workflow process :
The email design like this:
Email to engineer
Email to reviewer

Content Collector

I'm trying to figure out how to use Content Collector best. It seems that after I use it to place an object, the content vanishing from the Content Collector. Perhaps the problem is that I'm editing the object after I place it. Are there any good tutorials on the Content Collector?

This is probably what you need:
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-technology-sneaks-2012/indesign-content-collector-/
The default is that when you collect an asset and then place it in another place (another page, another file), that it drops out of the Content Collector. But there are two other options (circled below) where the content can stay in the Collector.
But, if you close the file from which the assets were collected, they will disappear. If you want longer storage, you should create a Library.

Load or import custom style mapping in link options – is that possible somehow?

Hi Everyone,
I'm working with Instructions for Use and Technical Manual documents in InDesign. I'm constantly fine-tuning our templates, and now I have to refresh them again, because of a brand refresh. I'm using the Custom Style Mapping in the Link Options panel a lot, because it helps us to copy the text from older documents to the new ones with the right formatting, with less effort. The only thing I miss is the “Load/Import Custom Style Mapping” option from this panel.
Do you know if there’s any options to export/import/load these mappings somehow from one document to another? Is it possible to write a script for that? I find this part of InDesign quite unattached, it seems to me (based on my search) that no other people are using it. I feel lonely, help me here!
(I have created many new mappings in an older document, and I’d like to be able to use them in the new templates as well, but I can only do that if I map the styles again. And it’s quite time consuming. Maybe I'm just using too many paragraph styles, I have no idea – this could be another question: what is too much when it comes to styles...)
Thanks a lot,

Sync is not intended to be used as a backup service like you are talking about, but it will work as long as you save the Recovery Key, as Jefferson mentioned (you also need your Sync Username ''[email address you used]'' and your account Password).
Mozilla has just started working a new "cloud service" that is code named '''PiCL''' for "Profile in CLoud", which I am expecting will be a lot easier to use and might allow the user to access their bookmarks and other data from the internet without adding a "borrowed" PC to your Sync account.

Content Aware Tool Not Working As Expected

I've been watching a whole bunch of training videos on PhotoShop CS5 regarding new features lately, been running the trial of CS5 on my Windows PC for a few days now.. Pretty much everything works as advertised, but I can't seem to get the Content Aware tool to do everything I've seen it do.
My main question is regarding the dialog box that is supposed to pop up when pressing the delete key while an area is selected. Doing this simply deletes the content of my selection as previous versions did. Is there anything special I need to do to get this to work?
I use PS on my computer at home, and I don't have internet access there unfortunately (only at work), so I can't even get to the help options... Maybe some sort of installation package for the help file would help answer this and many other questions, if anybody knows where I can get that...?

On a PC you hit the backspace key rather than the delete key and that will bring up the content aware
tool.

I cannot get my "send link" option undfer the File menu to work. Nothing happens. I went under options and set mailto to my Gmail but no luck.

I cannot get my "send link" option under the File menu to work. Nothing happens. I went under Tools, Options, Applications and set it to my Gmail but no luck. No error messages, but the Gmail window never launches.

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

These are the instructions for internet explorer but i can't see anything in firebox.

In my Firefox 5.0 I see check-box for enabling/disabling JavaScript in the "Content" tab.
Is it checked in your Firefox and JavaScript still not working?

Edit link option disappeared

Hi ,
am facing a strange issue where the “Edit Link” option under “Quick Launch” in SharePoint 2013 is not appearing for any user (including the farm and site collection administrators) in
the home page of the root site collection. If a new sub site is created under it, then it starts appearing.
may i know, anyone has faced this issue and the possible resolution.

If the Edit link is not available, the site collection has moved to read only mode. This normally happens when you take dont take proper backup of site collection or backup was cancelled while in progress
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff631148%28v=office.14%29.aspx
Verify that you have the following administrative credentials.
You must be a member of the Site Collection Administrators group for the site collection.
In Central Administration, click Application Management.
On the Application Management page, in the Site Collections section, click
Configure quotas and locks.
If the site collection you want isn't already selected, in the Site Collection section, on the
Site Collection menu, click Change Site Collection. Use the Select Site Collection page to select a site collection.
On the Site Collection Quotas and Locks page, in the Site Lock Information section, select one of the following options:
Not locked to unlock the site collection and make it available to users.
Adding content prevented to prevent users from adding new content to the site collection. Updates and deletions are still allowed.
Read-only (blocks additions, updates, and deletions) to prevent users from adding, updating, or deleting content.
No access to prevent users from accessing the site collection and its content. Users who attempt to access the site receive an error.
If you select Adding content prevented, Read-only (blocks additions, updates, and deletions), or
No access, type a reason for the lock in the Additional lock information box.
Click OK.

Web content management tools for enterpise portal

I'm currently trying to research web content management tools for enterprise portal.
My general requirements are:
- Tool should sit on top of the portal/km and not require another landscape infrastructure, in other words we don't need another document management repository, but rather a way an easier interface to KM.
- Should be geared towards end-user management of actual content. In other words IT provides the site framework and the business user handles the rest, with approvals with business unit
- Compatible with EP 7.0
My research so far has turned up two possible solutions:
- Webpage composer delivered by SAP
- EasyWCM by btexx
Are there any other solutions that people are using which might meet these needs or alternative web content management tools that could live with the portal on the same physical hardware environment? I have searched this forum and ecohub and have not found much besides this thread which is now almost 4 years old:

Thank you,

Hi Stephen
I'm not aware of too many other options than the ones already mentioned here. Also Iu2019m probably not the right person to ask as I have been part of the development team for the KMD product. So Iu2019m a bit biased on that part.
You could try to have a look at this presentation where other WCM solutions are mentioned (page 5):
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d07b5354-c058-2a10-a98d-a23f775808a6
However if you are looking for a WCM solution with no extra landscape infrastructure and low initial setup effort you are (in my opinion) down to 3 options (Web Page Composer, Btexxu2019s or KMDu2019s product). I think all of them can be used for external content. Try to have a look at this web site u2013 made entirely with the web page composer:

It was no easy task but it can be done.

Hyperion Planning v11 Custom Tools Links

I'm trying to add a custom link to a document placed on the server for users to access. Below is my syntax for the custom tool, but it's not working on the Fusion Planning application. Even I as the admin cannot retrieve this document from the Hyperion tools link. However, this syntax worked on v9.3. Am I writing the syntax incorrectly? The file is on the E-drive within the below server (I placed an example server name called "PlanningServer" rather than the actual server name).
\\PlanningServer\e$\hyperion\UserGuide.ppt

They removed that ability (my guess is for security reasons)
you have 2 options
1) map a drive to that folder for example y: then you make the link y:/directory/filename.ext and paste that in to your URL link. But then you have to make sure everyone is mapped the same way on their computers. I know this works in 11.1.1.3
2) do as John mentioned and upload the file which has additional advantages as you can apply security access to the uploaded file. once you upload it create a smartcut to the file and you are good as gold

What plugin or what else use to make cool small window appear when I move on to a link, displaying content of that link on en.wikipedia

Hi,
On my previous computer, I had cool feature on my Firefox working on en.Wikipedia.
When I moved mouse coursor over link, automatically window appear with content of that link. Link was to wikipedia.
This windows was realy cool, cause I could move it, or click "more" so more content was displayed on this window. I could display few such windows on one page I was currently. I could move each where ever I wounted.
So beeing on one page on en.wikipedia I could see explanation of words used in this page, also used from wikipedia, just moving over this word, which was link, and I could display few such windows, that I could move through whole page.
I used older version of Firefox, on different computer, on Windows Vista laptop.
I searched for such plugin, but I couldn't find it. I find one kind a similar, QuickWiki, but much simpler, and much less functional.
I don't know how to find it. It was valuable tool for me. I used a lot of Wiki. Using this tool my job was much easier, as I didn't have to go to new page each time I wan't to check meaning of that word.
Please, help me if you know what to do or what tool to use.
Best regards,
Artur

Thanx :) It's even more than I wanted.
I can see web page in small window, without opening new tab, just moving my mouse over a link. Cool, really usefull. Thank you.
