Create Link to a folder

Greeting Gurus,
is it possible to create a link in page, which will point me to a folder, instead of a page?
Coz from what i found in the peoplecode, they are transferring me to a page, and i did for an "External link" by setting up the definition in
PeopleTools > Utilities > Administration > URLs
and my value set to
"http://my_domain_c:8080/psp/shhruat/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/s/WEBLIB_PTPP_SC.HOMEPAGE.FieldFormula.IScript_AppHP?pt_fname=SH_EMPLOYEES&FolderPath=PORTAL_ROOT_OBJECT.SH_EMPLOYEES&IsFolder=true"
and set the hyperlink to point to a page object, but when i click on the link, it links to....
[http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=scr10hp1.jpg]
Any idea how to resolve this? Thanks for your advise

Hi Roy,
(a) If you are (much) below SPS18, maybe try to upgrade.
(b) Double-check the default trace. It is not impossible, but at least unprobable that there is no info inside.
(c) If (a) and (b) don't help, open an OSS message...
Hope it helps

Unable to create a folder link to a folder located at filesystem repository

Hello,
I have created a File System repository manager which is working OK.
The problem is that when I try to created a link between a folder located inside the /documents repository to any folder located at the repository I defined I receive this error:
"The item could not be created because an exception occurred in the framework". I couldn't find any meaningful info at the defaultTrace.
Any ideas?

Creating links to folder resources in XDB repository

Hi,
I have a problem with creating links to folder resources in Oracle XDB repository, especially when I delete child resources from the linked folder or the linked folder itself.
For instance, if I have the following two resources:
/public/folder1/mydocument.xml
/public/folder2
and then create a link to folder1 within folder2 like this:
begin
dbms_xdb.link('/public/folder1', '/public/folder2', 'mylinkedfolder');
end;
and then delete the resource from the linked folder, like this:
delete from path_view where equals_path('/public/folder2/mylinkedfolder/mydocument.xml') = 1;
the resource 'mydocument.xml' is completely removed from the database, from both locations. The manual states that: "Deletion of a link deletes the resource pointed to by the link if and only if that was the
last link to the resource and the resource is not versioned." Before executing the delete statement the following query gives two results (links):
select path from path_view where resid = <<resid of mydocument.xml>>
The statements:
begin
dbms_xdb.deleteresource('/public/folder2/mylinkedfolder/mydocument.xml', dbms_xdb.DELETE_RECURSIVE_FORCE);
end;
and:
delete from path_view where path = '/public/folder2/mylinkedfolder/mydocument1.xml'
result in the same behavior. Also, when I remove the folder '/public/folder2/mylinkedfolder', the document mydocument.xml is also removed from both locations.
Is this behavior expected behavior? Is there another way to get the behavior that is described in the manual?
Thanks,
Maarten

Removing the second link to the folder should not delete the contents unless you specify delete recursive when doing so.. See below

I can not open links on my desktop, says I need to create an association in folder options

Ever since I switched from IE to Foxfire, I cannot click on desktop links to open programs. I get a message saying I need to create an association in Folder Options

See this: <br />
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+file+types

I can no longer drag a link to a folder -- a Windows folder -- to save it. This feature is (was) very useful as I could save links relevant to my work in the folder for the project.

In previous versions I have been able to drag the icon from the address bar to a Windows folder, producing a clickable link in that folder.
I even have FAQ and Help files on various web sites advising people to do that as it is very useful to have links to web sites in a folder relevant to the content of the folder.

This is very frustrating -- this feature worked in ver. 3, not sure about 4, but now FF 5 has removed it. This is important enough to me to either revert to v. 3 or use Opera (see below).
IE v. 8 has removed it too.
Opera v. 11 will do it -- but it only saves to the desktop and not to folders, so you have to drag the icon to the desktop and then drag it into the folder.
I use this regularly with presentations -- will be doing one next weekend -- and I take it on a USB memory stick to someone else's computer. I can click on a link in the presentation folder and have that page open in their default browser. It does me no good to have the link in my bookmarks back at my office.
If you're going to remove the feature, you might ought to remove the suggestion to use it at:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mouse_tips
and
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Creating a desktop shortcut to a web page
Please restore this feature!

Problem creating items in a folder owned by another user

Hi
Iam getting an exception when i try to create a folder owned (or shall i say) created by another user.Let me explain what iam doing :
1. I have created a folder "INPRISE" under "/home".I have
created an ACL "MyAcl" having group INPRISEGROUP
as the ACE having all permissions.I have set the ACL "MyAcl" on the folder "INPRISE".
2. I have created two users i1 and i2
and placed them in the group INPRISEGROUP .Both these users have a link under thei home folder to "INPRISE" folder(achieved by using and addItem()).
3. I could successfully login as i1 and create a folder "WebApps" under "INPRISE" and upload a document "A.txt" under "WebApps".
4.But when i log in as "i2" and try to create a document "B.txt" under "WebApps" which was created by user "i1" i get the following exception :

Note : since iam still experimenting with the code please ignore any irrelevant/wrong commenting.Iam using method "CreateDealFolder()" to create the folder "INPRISE" and "CreateUser()" to create users "i1","i2"

Iam not able to set the main folder's (i.e INPRISE) acl (MyAcl) on the subfolder "MyFolder" because the owner of MyAcl is "system" whereas the owner of MyFolder is user "i1" .Which is the best way of solving these ownership issue which iam running into ? I want to be able to create different folders ,assign a group of uers to each of the folders who can create as well as modify,delete each other's folders/documents (as i have mentioned in my first post in this thread) ?
thanks

Link to a FOLDER

can i link to a folder with a button in captivate?
a link to let show the content of a folder (and open the
files there..)
thx
PS please answer me also a pair of topic under this one.
:(((

Hi aibiadobe
I certainly didn't understand that last question. I'm also
doubtful Larry (CatBandit) did either. What do you mean by:
it's possible to link an extern exe from my exe within this
one is opening in web browser?
Are you trying to link from one .EXE to another? If so, is it
a Captivate .EXE linking to another Captivate .EXE? Or is it a
Captivate .EXE linking to a different .EXE such as Microsoft Paint
or Windows Notepad? What do you mean by "this one is opening in web
browser?"?
On the folder bit, I just tested and it seems possible. I
simply inserted a button with the On success action of "Open URL or
file". Where you normally specify the URL or file, I just inserted
a path to a folder on my hard drive. I then tested and sure enough,
that folder popped open to display the files. I do suppose your
mileage may vary as well as the results varying depending on how
you are creating the Captivate movie and deploying it. I did
perform a further test using a relative path. I simply linked to
the word "help". This would imply a folder named "help". I then
published the movie and placed it in a folder with a simple "help"
folder. I also copied a few files to the "help" folder and tested.
Worked that way too.
Cheers all... Rick

Creating link to excel document within PDF portfolio

i created a pdf portfolio and created links to pdf documents within portfolio but am unable to create a link to the excel documents. I can't even create a link to direct them to a specific folder where the item is held. HELP, New to pdf portfolio's!

One option is to create a PDF from the Excel spreadsheet and link to that.
If you want to update the spreadsheet, you could create a Web Content overlay (or HTML article) that links to a Google spreadsheet. I've played around with linking to a Google presentation, and it works fine. You can update the spreadsheet/presentation on the website and the changes automatically appear in the overlay. I've just dabbled at it, so I wouldn't be much help with sizing/formatting issues.

Creating links to Word, PDF and Powerpoint files

I need advice on how to create links to Word, Powerpoint and PDF files in my Captivate project. How do I also make sure that when my file is published, those links can be accessed by the reader. I am new to this process. Thanks!

Yes. You can place the linked file in your zipped folder. Here is a recommended workflow.
1. Add a button (Smartshape or regular button) to the slide.
2. Assign the Open File or URL action to the button. In the URL field, specify the file name (say, Sample.PPTX) which you want to link to.
3. Click the down arrow button next to the URL field and select New so that the file launches in a new window.
4. Save and publish your project to a folder.
5. Go to the published folder and place the linked Sample.pptx file in the folder.
6. Zip the published folder.
Absolute Path is where you give the full path of the file's location including the folder structure. For example, C:\<UserName>\Documents\My Adobe Captivate Projects\Sample.pptx. If you use this, then you have to maintain the same folder structure in the published folder as well, which is impractical.
Relative Path, in this case, is where you just give the file name and make sure that the file is in the published folder.
Just Google and you will find several examples of absolute and relative paths. You will even see that you can define sub folders if required.

Creating Linked Resources

Hi All,
we have a J2EE project set up in SAP Netweaver Developer Studio 2.0.12 which is stored in the DTR. When trying to create a linked folder we get the error "Project 'projectName' is mapped to repository type 'com.tssap.dtr.client.eclipse.DAVTeamProvider' which does not support linked resources." We are attempting to create a link to a folder on the same file system where the actual webapp is found but obviously not in the webapp's own space.
*How we are creating a new linked folder: File --> New --> Folder --> Clicked 'Advanced' button --> Check off 'Link to folder in the file system' --> Specify path ... that's the way we've done it in eclipse before.
Has anyone been able to achieve this? Can it possibly be done through the web.xml?
Anyone at all?

Hi,
any updates on this one from Adobe?
You get the infamous "not a valid location for linked resources" message, don't you?
Thanks

Emailing a link to a folder

I was just trying to figure out how to send someone a link to a folder on a shared drive via email and thought I'd share my find. There were a few suggestions around, such as using afp:// or file:/// for a file, but nothing of those really worked well.
The short answer is you need to send it using the smb protocol, such as
smb://yourserver.corp.domain/Shares/Folder1/Folder%202/
What I found is that there's no drag'n'drop solution, but you can use a little shortcut.
If you want to send a folder drag that folder into Terminal (under Applications:Utilities) and you might get a path like
/Volumes/Shares/Folder1/Folder\ 2
Go to Finder and continue hitting Command-Up Arrow until you get to the top level. Alternatively hit Command while selecting the folder icon in the Finder window and go to the top level (which is at the bottom of the list). This top level is likely to be your computer's name. Once selected highlight the network share drive that you found out from the step above, e.g. 'Shares'. Then hit Command-I (Get Info). That will tell you the name of the server in the notation, e.g. smb://yourserver.corp.domain/Shares. Copy the server part, e.g. smb://yourserver.corp.domain/ and replace the /Volumes/ part from step 1.
Replace any spaces (or "\ " if you take the Terminal result from step 1) with %20 (the hex character for spaces). There are some other hex characters for non-Latin character sets, such as %5B for [, or %5D for ] etc. Try http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm for a full list of characters.
You now have assembled the link. Not a comfortable, easy way, but something that works. Maybe someone has an AppleScript for that.
Hope that helps.
P.S.: I've tried that on SnowLeopard (10.6) only, but I assume it's the same on earlier and later versions of Mac OS X.

ok... Website 101 lol
When you Publish the files from iWeb, you ask the program (iWeb) to do the clever stuff and make the website you have designed, the easy bit done!! It creates a folder that is home to the pages and files for your site!!
What you need to do now is get that folder of random stuff on the web, or get it to your sister.
Your sister will be able to read the files as she will have something like internet explorer or some other 'web browser'. All a web browser is, is a program that turns that folder of random files you have, or those random files on the internet, into the pictures and words you read on the screen.
iWeb has a habit of making big folders of stuff. This means you might not be able to E-mail the folder it makes because it is too big to send... Hmmm!!
what you may need to do is get some webspace!! Basically this means, a big folder full of stuff on the internet. lol
Then you need to get the files in your folder (the one made by iWeb) and copy them to the big internet folder. There are many ways to do this. The people that give you your internet (ISP) may have given a folder(webspace) when you joined them!!
If not you will have to buy some!! You can get this from anywhere, just go to 'Google' and type in 'webspace'.
Things can get complicated from here, so if you need any more info just post back or contact me on my profile email(click my name above my little picture on the left)
Apologies if i seem patronizing, but i don't know what you do, or do not know!!
Hope this is helping lol

You can get this from anywhere really.

How to create a Taxonomy classification folder with KM or Index API

Hi All!
I'm developing an application that needs to create a taxonomy structure dynamically.
The structure is something like
-Taxonomies -> Index_MI ->Tax_MI -> Docs1 and Docs2
I have already created the repositories and the index with no complication at all, and I can create a taxonomy under that index structure(same level as Tax_MI), the fact is when I try to create a new sub-folder inside the Tax_MI one I've got the error: can not create taxonomy folder: Invalid character in resource name: / - com.sapportals.wcm.repository.InvalidNameException: Invalid character in resource name: / . The parameter is "Tax_MI/Docs3"
I'm using the following method to create the taxonomy:
public void createTaxCategory(String taxCat, String IndexName, IResourceContext context) // name of the related index)
     throws WcmException {
          IIndexService indexService = (IIndexService) ResourceFactory.getInstance().getServiceFactory().getService(IServiceTypesConst.INDEX_SERVICE);
          IClassificationIndex classificationIndex = (IClassificationIndex) indexService.getIndex(IndexName);
          classificationIndex.addTaxonomy(taxCat, context);
Has someone achived something like I'm trying to do?
Thanks in advanced!

Thank you Patricio, the link is useful but it says "The following prerequisite must be fulfilled:
The taxonomies must be identical in both systems. To transport the taxonomies from the source to the target system the standard transport mechanism of the portal can be used" and the requirement is to create the taxonomy structure on the fly.
I'm studying the AbstractClassificationIndex class, it has the addResourceToClassificationIndex method, but I have no success yet.
Are there any other suggestions?

Having trouble when creating links

Good afternoon,
I use RoboHelp6 HTML, and i'm using the FlashHelp as the
output layout.
When I work on a topic in the WYSIWYG Editor, I try to create
links between a Word document or even a webpage that I have created
from the Word document.
When I go to click on the link that I have created in the
topic it shows that I have created a link but I can't actually
visualize the link.
When I go to generate the project, and see if the link works
from there. It doesn't even show the letter in blue or something to
show that there is a link attached.
Can somebody please tell me how to create links step by step?
Thanks,

Hi there
Woooowwww, that's some long path! Do you really have that
many folder levels? ../ is shorthand that says Up One Folder. So in
this case, you have a page attempting to link seven folder levels
above where it lives. I don't suppose there is any way to screen
capture your folder structure for this project and post to an image
sharing site. Here is one:
