Creating html widget to access websites from an iBook

For the book I'm creating, it is essential for readers to be able to access discussion areas that take place on external websites. So far, in Dashcode, I've only been able to succeed in creating web application widgets that do this, while the dashboard widgets don't work within the iBook preview.
I created a button and assigned a handler that says:
function pushButton(event)
var websiteURL = "http://digitallearningprocess.net/";
location = websiteURL
How has anyone else accomplished this task? I've seen conflicting reports suggesting whether it is even possible.
Thanks!

Thanks, David -
Yes, I realize it is possible to use the "insert hyperlink" commands, but I was hoping to pass login credentials by way of a widget. For now, I appreciate your suggestion and will use that method (and providing generic login information right there in the text as well). It would be wonderful to be able to provide links to various LMS or CMS platforms that schools already use, to extend the iBook functionality. Utlimately that's my goal.
Thanks again! - Ferdi

Webapp to create html widgets (videos, maps, ...)

Hi,
I have started a little project, iBook Generator, to easily create all sorts of html widgets, ready to use in iBooks Author.
Currently, you can create a widget to embed Youtube or Vimeo videos in one click, but I'm working on a lot more generator.
I'd love to hear from you, if you're interested.
You can try it here : http://ibooksgenerator.com

Not sure if I can do this but I would like to see a widget to jump from one section or chapter to another section or chapter in the book. The widge would be a button or image button.

Unable to access website from AT&T exclusively

Hi,
It appears that others may have had this problem. We can't access our website from AT&T provided internet. Reading other posts on this topic give the explaination that our site has been blacklisted or is suspected of some phising scheme. I don't understand how this is possible as we have only recently put up this website. Our website: www.radiantoc.org. Our host is 1&1. We have another website hosted by them, but it is accessible from AT&T routers.
Our website is not on any blacklists acording to this: http://mxtoolbox.com/domain/radiantoc.org/.
So why are we being blocked?

I just clicked your link and got to "God, You and the World" on the RG's DNS, so nothing's being blocked. What does your outside IP address start with? If 99. or 172. that could be the reason.

Cannot access website from fios at home

I'm unable to access my homepage website from my verizon fios at home. The url is www.vimarsh.com. The website works fine from other ISPs. DNS is resolving fine. Not only this website but a few other websites on the same server are inaccessible.
Is there some verizon firewall which is blocking the server? The server address is star.lunarpages.com or 216.97.227.55

Is it working now? No issues tracert from the East coast. It could be software on your PC that is preventing the redirect. The domain name vimarsh.com does not match the end result, which is star.lunarpages.com. Or an issue with Level3's routers. Got me.

How to access website from ipad showing access denied website

HHow to access to website which showing as access denied

If you are getting an "access denied" error you likely have the wrong URL or you have entered it incorrectly. There is also the possibility that there is a coding error in links on the website itself that is causing this error.

Create a report on access lists from a switch or router

I need to view the hits on an access list I have running on a clients layer 3 switches and routers. I know the syslog messages for the ACL are making it to the MARS. What event type do I need to select and query type do I need to select to get a report on this information?
Thanks.
Dan

You can do a query with the result type "Unknown Event Types" to list all the logs with Unknown Reporting Devices. It will show an "Add Device" button wherever applicable which displays the result set.

Help me to achieve my goal: creating a dynamic CQ5 website from a CRX Imported Site

Hello everyone.
For two weeks now, i'm trying to create a dynamic content CQ5 website from an imported CRX site.
What I already did and where I am now:
Step 1 - I have imported a website using the CRX Import Site tool.
Step 2 - I have done some mappings in my imported site images and texts. In the CRX content repository estructure, I can found the mappings as
unstructured nodes, at "etc/designs/mysite/dev/mappings", the component properties matching the components I selected in the component extractor;
Step 3 - I have done some extractions in my imported site images and texts. In the CRX content repository estructure, I can found the extracted components
at "apps/mysite/resources/images" (the last two ones I created myself);
Step 4 - After done all these steps, I acessed the Web Sites CQ5 menu and selected the "New Site" option, in the "New..." button. A "MySite Blueprint" is avaliable
to be selected as a Blue Print to my new site, but If I select this one and create my new site, not all the mapped components can be manipulated or selected and some
mappings just show on as an empty selection box in the page, where I am able to insert images, for exemple.
In short, after all these steps, I still can't do what I want with my mapped components and the new site is, basically, the same as the imported. Not every mapped components can be selected and edited and I can't change my site template or content (the far I got here is add a new image in the site, but without the liberty to change the position).
So, what I'm forgetting? Is there some step that I don't getting through? Maybe I need to work on the template created by the site importer?
Is there some material or media that can help me or maybe add knowledge to me?
Already read the "Site importer" and "Components" in Adobe CQ5 Documentation but don't get me far from where I am now.
If someone can help me to make this process better, with more liberty on my new site and the possibility to control all the components, adding new ones
or editing the existent ones, I'll be very gratefull and with a great new knowledge.
Operational System: Windows Server 2008
CQ Version: CQ 5.4.0.20110218
Thanks.

I want to do this using the site importer because I want to show my clients how we can make content management and experience customizations a lot easier starting by their own websites.
So, importing my customer website and transforming it in a new CQ website is the way to show this.
Anyway, thanks in advance and I'm going to look at the page component for the website that I imported.
If someone got another tip or hint, I'll be very thankfull.

HT2954 I can no longer open websites from my emails. Why not?

Suddenly I can't access websites from links embedded in my emails? Please help!

Which OS X software version are you running?
Is this Mail.app or another mail client?
Do you get any diagnostics or other feedback when you select the embedded links in the emails (and it fails)?
Does your web browser correctly open the same URLs, when entered directly into that?
Has anything recently changed with your configuration?

Premiere Elements offers disc menus for only

The only exception is the feature named webDVD which is in reality a flash file with menus. Until proven otherwise, no way to get that on the iPad 2 unless with viewing from a web browser?

I recently discovered that I can no longer access websites pointed to within the content of an email message on my iPad Air by clicking on the highlighted HTML text or symbols. What have I done to create, and what should I now do to correct, this issue?

Or you could include a width to your body style:
body {
background-image: url(Logo/sky1.jpg);
background-position: center center;
background-attachment: fixed;
width: 75%;}
It might work or not depending on your other color scheme.

No longer able to access websites needing passwords from Itouch

I have a 2G Itouch 16GB. Its abouts 6 weeks old - I downloaded the software upgrade as soon as I bought it - so yes the wi-fi is not great and drop out often !
My problem is that I originally used to log onto sites via links in my emails e.g. for paying my phone bills, booking cinema tickets (they all need user id's and passwords). Recently I have not been able to access these sites from my Itouch despite being able to access them from my pc.(I know the id and passwords are correct) .
I either get thrown back to the log on page and asked to re-enter or I get 'site ID missing from request'. I've tried accessing the same sites via Safari and not via the email link and I get the same problem. Surf the web is fine its just accessing sites.
Its really annoying as I it used to work really well. Have contacted the apple support desk and they stated there is nothing wrong and said the website must be blocking my itouch .... like they all got together on the same day to stop me ..mmm !
Any ideas? (I've reset Network setting and cleared cache and history)
thanks

ODP.NET and Oracle client use some unmanaged DLLs, some of which are shared with other Oracle client apps. Whenever you install a new Oracle client, the newly installed unmanaged client DLLs take precedence over your previously used DLLs. That's why you are seeing this error.
You can direct your .NET apps to use specific Oracle client DLLs tied to your ODP.NET version in your .NET config files. Read more here:

What video format is supported when creating a HTML widget?

It doesn't support mp4, m4v amd mov. I tried video/mp4, video/m4v and video/quicktime, they don't work. Anything wrong with the following code. Pls help. Thanks.
<video id="sourcevid" autoplay="true" loop="true">
<source src="00048.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>

Thanks for the tip, Rycankun. I just tried changing my m4v ext to mp4 and the video worked just great in an HTML widget with a HTML5 video tag. The video opens in a new page the same way any html widget does with the video centered on the page -- just what we were looking for.
I commented on your other post about HTML widget and left some additional info on encoding videos so I thought I'd paste that same info here as it's more relevant to this thread:
A few thoughts about encoding -- we started out using the documented Quicktime 10 > Export > Format iPod touch & iPhone 3GS but there's no control over the video/audio compression settings. We then went to Compressor and used a modified version of the SD or HD preset for Apple devices - had more control but still weren't able to get the files as small as we needed at the quality we desired. We finally have settled on using Handbrake to create our mp4 using the iPhone & iPod Touch preset and adjusting the Constant bitrate RF value and audio settings to get the quality we desired. The resulting mp4 is not directly useable in iBA but it's easy to convert the mp4 container to a m4v contrainer using Subler (for Mac) to transcode to Main @ 3.1 profile. Transcoding with Subler doesn't re-encode the video or audio - those tracks just pass through and Subler converts the movie container to the selected Main @ 3.1 profile. There's probably a way to create the m4v directly from Handbrake with Main @ 3.1 profile but so far the closest I've gotten is Baseline @ 3. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Block Websites from being accessed

Is there a way to block websites from being accessed on the network through AEBS?

Are you acquanted with using the Terminal?
Not too many are, so, some solutions:
If you make the specific user a username on the computer, you can block websites in the Parental Controls section in the Accounts preference pane.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/family/
Also, hosts can be blocked on a one-by-one basis by adding them to the /etc/hosts file, with an IP address of 0.0.0.0. If you're not familiar with the terminal then I don't recommend this route

How do I reset the furthest page read in iBooks from an HTML Widget?

Our training department just got a bunch of iPads and I'm writing some custom HTML widgets for iBooks for them for testing, in-class activities, etc.
On the last page I have a link to clear all the forms and return to the first page. Like this: <a href="ibooks:///#page(1)">Click here</a>
That all works fine but the next time the book is opened it auto-syncs to the FURTHEST page read (the last page with the test on it) instead of the LAST page read (the first page- from the link mentioned above).
Basically we want the link to reset the furthest page read to the first page of the book when they finish the test so that the next person to use the iPad goes to page one automatically.
Does anyone have an idea of how to do something like completely clear the iBook cache?
Much obliged!

This was hand-coded HTML, CSS, jQuery/Javascript with a PHP file on our server that processes answers and emails them to our training director.
I use Brackets exclusively for coding.
Hope this helps you.
