Create hyperlinks for all the URLs in the text... possible?

Hello everyone,
I’m starting to learn how to do ePubs from the books I layout and I’ve come up with a very annoying issue. In the footnotes or bibliography, there are often urls in the text. I need to have them linked to the website they refer to in the ePub. I really wish there is some kind of automated way to do that, because if it’s not possible, I hardly see myself doing it manually for a whole book...
So, well, can any of you guys help me with that? I’m really bad at scripting so I have no idea if it’s possible, but... thanks anyways!
Annabelle

If you are using CS5 or CS5.5 (the latter is strongly recommended for all things EPub), "Convert URL to hyperlinks" is a menu command in the Hyperlink palette:

Mail 1.3.11 Creating hyperlink for a non-URL

Sorry for what might be a simple question, but I have looked in the on-line help, thru all of the menus, and then on this board and can not find an answer.
I am looking to make specific text in an e-mail hyperlinked so that upon clicking on the text, the reader (clicker) is sent to a pre-determined URL which is not showing in the e-mail. Is this possible wiht my version of Mail?
Any help would be much appreciated. Many Thanks.

Don’t know about Mail 1.x, but in Mail 2.x you can select the text you want to become the link, do Edit > Add Hyperlink, and type (or paste) the URL there. Be sure to include the protocol prefix in the URL, e.g. http://www.somewhere.com instead of just www.somewhere.com, or mailto:[email protected] instead of just [email protected]
For Mail to actually insert the HTML tag necessary for the link to work, you must compose the message as Rich Text. Otherwise, if Plain Text is used instead (which I wish everybody did), the HTML tag is stripped off when sending the message.
Frankly, IMO it’d be better to compose your message as Plain Text and just include the URL within angle brackets where appropriate, e.g. <http://www.somewhere.com>.
BTW, if you’re using Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Mac OS X 10.3 & earlier forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.

Create hyperlink for all images

Hello everyone,
I am new to scripting, but I am assuming my current task needs some scripting.
I have a catalog laid out in InDesign. It is about 250 pages and each page has about 10 image so there are about 2500 images. The way I have them laid out is each image is placed inside a frame. Now, I need to hyperlink each image to an external web site. For example, for an image whose name is (12345.jpg), the hyperlink will be "https://www.testabc.com/productdetails.aspx?itemnum=12345". Similarly if the next item is 67890, then the hyperlink would need to be "https://www.testabc.com/productdetails.aspx?itemnum=67890". All images are linked to a folder on the computer.
Can you please suggest how best to write and run this script. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I can't test the script at the moment, but looking at it, I do notice that the entire for loop is within a try-catch. That means that if it encounters an error, it stops processing any more graphics. There may be a good reason for this, but I think you could just move the try-catch into the for loop, so it can catch any individual linking error without stopping completely. Something like this:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myGr = app.activeDocument.allGraphics;
alert(myGr.length)
    for(i=0; i<myGr.length; i++)
      try{
        var myGrName = String(myGr[i].itemLink.name);
        var mySplitName = myGrName.split(".")[0];
        app.select(myGr[i].parent)
        myHyperlinkPageItemSource = app.activeDocument.hyperlinkPageItemSources.add(app.selection[0])
        var myHyperlinkURLDestination = app.activeDocument.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add("https://www.testabc.com/productdetails.aspx?itemnum=" + String(mySplitName)));
        var myHyperlink = app.activeDocument.hyperlinks.add(myHyperlinkPageItemSource, myHyperlinkURLDestination, {name: "https://www.testabc.com/productdetails.aspx?itemnum=" + String(mySplitName)})
        } catch(e){}
alert("Process Completed")
The forum's syntax highlighting is giving me a hard time, but I would probably throw an "alert(myGrName)" into those catch brackets so you can begin to try to figure out where it's erroring out (if that is indeed the problem).
Another thought is that, if there's a chance of multiple images with the same number, you might want to have your hyperlinkURLDestination check for an already existing destination before adding a new one.

Creating sequences for all tables in the database at a time

Hi ,
I need to create sequences for all the tables in my database.
i can create individually ,using toad and sqlplus.
Can any one give me a code for creating the sequences dynamically at a time for all the tables.
it is urgent ..
Regards.

I need to create sequences for majority of the tables that are having ID column
which is sequences."The majority" is not the same as all. So you probably want to drive your generation script off the ALL_TAB_COLUMNS view...
where column_name = 'ID'You need to think about this carefully. You might want different CACHE sizes or different INCREMENT BY clauses for certain tables. You might even (whisper it) want a sequence to be shared by more than one table.
Code generation is a useful technique, but it is a rare application where one case fits all.
Cheers, APC

How can I resize and reposition the Date Created window for All windows?

When setting view options for a finder window set to list view, I cannot get column resizing or positioning to hold. When making those changes, the option for "All Windows" automatically shifts to "This window only" and it then does not hold.

How to create hyperlink for the messages in oneorder documents

Hi ,
I want to create hyperlink for the error messages that are raised for a payment request, so that i can navigate to that particular object ID mentioned in the message.

Safari shows "The network connection was lost" for all flv files on the internet. Firefox plays all

I upgraded to the lastest version of Flash to fix what I thought was a problem in Firefox. That problem turned out to be something else but now Safari will not play ANY flash content. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I have even installed an older version. All of these have the exact same result. Flash works in Firefox but not in Safari. I have cleared the cache. I have gone into the flash securty settings and deleted all content. Nothing seems to change this. Anyone have any ideas?

Plug-Ins are installedand keep in mindthis problem affects all 3 browsers i am using IE9, Safari5 & Firefox 19NOT a SPECIFIC browser issuewhich is why i think it's either "Flash" (Adobe) or streaming web-site (Freedocast) issue.

I would like to create pages for our yearbook what is the best software

I would like to create pages for our yearbook what is the best software - pages does seem limited.

Why is that questionable?
Because Keynote does not have the industrial-strength tools to handle long form text and large numbers of graphics. When you make a long or complex document, you sometimes have to go in and fix problems in bulk, like text formatting, or updating graphics, or finessing the layout on 200 pages, things like that. A program like InDesign can deal with it through things like paragraph styles, character styles, table styles (not one-off styles, but the kind that let you update a style name and have all text that uses that style update across all pages), or a powerful link manager that lets you keep graphics outside the document so you can easily update them by reference, in bulk if needed. InDesign also has some great tools like the ability to import multiple photos at once and have them place on the layout as a nice yearbook-style grid, the instant they land on the page, without having to arrange them after they come in.
Finally, an app like InDesign knows how to print to a commercial press, or how to produce a press-ready PDF. Keynote has no idea.
A yearbook can run a couple hundred pages and involve hundreds of photos. I would not touch such a project with anything that wasn't truly up to the task. The best software would be InDesign or QuarkXPress. Word is not good enough. Pages is not good enough. You will tear your hair out as you fix problems on page after page, photo after photo. Keynote would probably be laughable for a yearbook. I use Keynote for presentations, Keynote is the best at what it does. A yearbook is nothing like a presentation.

Firefox opens when I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail in my Outlook 2003 program, but does not go to the URL in the link. It used to work before I re-installed my MS XP Pro 64 bit OS. Help!

At first, after I re-installed the OS, nothing would happen when I clicked on an e-mail hyperlink. So I went to Folder Options in Control Panel and associated Firefox with the E-mail file type. Firefox then opened when I clicked on a hyperlink in an e-mail, but just opens to the Firefox start page ("Blank page"). Firefox does not open the URL in the hyperlink. I need guidance as to how to restore this function which worked perfectly before I had to re-install the OS due to a corrupted program installer. I have run the MS Office Detect and Repair function twice--both times indicating that everything is fine--but it does not make a difference in fixing the Firefox function.
NEW: An attempt to click on the link in Security Center to go to Microsoft Update brings up an error message that reads: "The requested lookup key was not found in any active activation context." I have no idea what this means, but I suspect it is related to the lack of ability to open Firefox to a link URL.
See the uploaded screen print(JPEG) below.
UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED!! Searched on error message on line, solution fixed problem. THANKS ANYWAY

# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

Why is it that now, when I click on a link for a website I've saved, it does NOT show the URL in the address bar? I can't drag it to an email to share the link.

Why is it that in these newer versions of Firefox (I have 21.0), when I open a link that I've saved, it does NOT display the URL in the address bar any more?
I can't drag and drop the link into an email, and I can't see the actual web address I'm connected to for reference OR for security purposes. Why was this changed?
It becomes necessary to reveal the properties of the URL link I've saved, using the Windows "Properties", then copying and pasting the URL into the Firefox address bar, before I can do anything with it.

No changes have been made and no problem with extensions has interfered with the URL appearing in Firefox before. Only with the last few new versions of Firefox has this cropped up. Also, the link opens correctly - it just doesn't display the URL in the address bar, instead it just reads (in gray) "Search or enter address." How could another extension interfere if Firefox is the sole program associated with .htm, .html files?

You don't have a late 2011 MB Pro.
You have a 2010 version. Your MB doesn't support 16GB. 8GB Max.
That's what it shows on your about this MAC.
You need to return the RAM and get 8GB ( 2 X 4GB ) 1066MHz.
Your system bus is set to 1066MHz.
You're having issues because you've installed more RAM than your MB can support. It's only reading 4GB per bank which totals to 8GB and not 16GB.

I am having major problems with Firefox. About 3 weeks ago I started experiencing the display only when on Firefox for all web site, that the display would be shifted right about half a screen. It only happens on Firefox and happens for all web sites.

This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I'd like to save the URLs of the group of pages tabbed in one particular FF window to be reloaded en masse when I use FF again some time in the future

I have a lot of browser tabs currently and I will not have finished using them by the time I next reboot, shutting down Firefox. On the other hand there are too many to fit neatly in one FF window so I've opened a 2nd window and moved a bunch over. Now I want to know how I can make sure FF will remember all the tab URLs when I start it again - and how I can be sure it will load them up in separate windows as presently. Because I have a feeling it will just dump them all in the one window. But there's too many to make that useful! On Opera you can save a 'session' with a particular selection of tabbed URLs, under a particular name, and then reload that session later. You can even start up several past sessions as separate windows at the same time. In that way you can select which groups of previous tabs you want to recall when. I'd like that in Firefox but I can't see anything to create it. :) What will happen for instance when I close the two current windows before rebooting? I suspect I will lose the record of the URLs in the window that is closed first, and only those of the 2nd to be recalled will come back when re-starting it. Basically there needs to be a "Save Group of Tabs" option on the File menu near "Save Page As...". On the other hand maybe this facility already exists and I just don't know how to find it?

Take a look at [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=Session&cat=all&lver=any&pid=1&sort=&pp=20&lup=&advanced= these extensions at AMO] for those features.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Create hyperlinks for all the URLs in the text... possible?
