Displaying a link to an external page as a "catalog"

Hi,
I was trying to display a link to an external web page as a catalog in SRM, e.g. http://www.google.com.
This should be possible somehow, an SRM will even provide a link to go back, "return to SRM application".
I created a web service to do this. I'm not sure what Business Type of Web Service is the most appropriate. So I chose "01 Product Catalog" for the time being.
So far my call structure is very simple:
No.      Parameter               Parameter Value     Type
10                    http://www.google.com     0 URL
100     BYPASS_OUTB_HANDLER               2 Fixed Value
110     HOOK_URL                         4 Return URL
When I click on that link I get the message "405. Thatu2019s an error. The request method POST is inappropriate for the URL /."
So I set the flag "use HTTP GET to call Web Service". But the error remains.
Does anyone know how to set this up?
Best regards,
Marcus

Hi Markus,
I expect that a page like google is not expecting a POST request, i.e. the POST request is used to try to submit a form or request to the server, google does not expect such a request.
Maybe try using a test catalog like that provided by Wiley or similar (http://catalog.wiley.com/marketbasket.cgi), see http://www.wiley.com/legacy/authors/apiinfo/ for more info on this.
Regards.

Links to site & external pages not working

I've spent all day working around the limitations of Muse. I created a simple site for my photography biz today with a slideshow home page, a contact page and two external pages all linked via a menu created from scratch using text and hyperlinks, not using any widgets. I intiially was having problems with the links defined on the master page as I was linking the text object as opposed to the actual text. Then after realizing I couldn't antively create a contact form w/o using Business catalyst I created one via Wufoo. The good part about that it that Wufoo works with MailChimp and Highrise. The bad part is that after pasting the html code my main menu is completely broken with no navigation whatsoever.
I'm using Muse 7.0.1 and Firefox 11 on a Mac running OSX 10.6.7.
Honestly, this is very subpar even for beta software. I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and take the time to learn Dreamweaver. The site URL is www.imagemakersny.com/photo.

It turns out the issue and fix is pretty simple. On your master page, there is a rectangle with only top and bottom stroke, and no fill, that is used to create the lines above and below the links. This rectangle is currently 'above' the links, and so catches the clicks when they are attempted. To fix this, open the master page, and select the rectangle. Then click on the object menu, and select "send to back". Re-publish/export, and everything should work. Thanks for helping to improve Muse!

Link to remote external page

How would I create a page in Muse that links to a remote external link? This is for a real estate website that links to an MLS search function. So far, I've pasted this URL into a text box with no luck. Here's the URL I'm trying to link to: IDX Property Search

Is there a way to have a link from an external page show the top of the page on a PC?

I really appreciate the help in these forums - have solved many an issue. Am down to the last little thing.
If you test the links on : www.muohio.edu/lll/tabbed-test on a Mac, each time you chose a link it goes to the top of the page. This is the desired location.
If you test the links on a PC, either with firefox or IE it uses the tabbed panel as the top.
Is there a way to control this?
THANKS!
Berly

In your document you have got <div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels"> and in the link you have got <li><a href="fla.html?tab=1#TabbedPanels1">Crisis Management</a></li>
What some browsers will do when it sees the #TabbedPanels1 is take you to the spot which is down the page.
Solution: remove #TabbedPanels1 from the link and all is well.

How can I add a link to an external page to the iWeb created navigation menu?

I want to add a link to a Wordpress blog to my iWeb created navigation menu. Dream Host is hosting my site.

Here's a JavaScript that inserts a link in the navbar
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
Paste the code in a HTML Snippet.
Edit:
See it in action (the More and Home links are added this way) :

Assistance pls: ~50% links not working on page, iWeb 3.0.4

I built a new page on a longstanding iWeb site last night, uploaded it (to my own domain hosted at Earthlink) and discovered that about 50% of the links on the page are not working, though all the links are formatted identically.
Here's the page:
http://www.MarynMcKenna.com/magazines.html
Here's how this page is built:
     - Each visible box is a shape
     - Within each shape is a text box with outline set to None
     - Each link was individually cut-pasted into Inspector (I have double-checked that none of them pasted 2x.)
     - I have checked that, in Inspector > Hyperlink, the settings for each link are:
          - Enable as a Hyperlink
          - Link to an External Page
          - Open link in new window
Also, I have checked (Command-Shift-L/Command-A) that the boxes are in the Body of the page, not in the Header, Footer etc.
When I am in iWeb, all of the links work fine.
When I upload the page and check it at Earthlink, however, the links in the larger boxes (Scientific American, Self, Annals) don't work.
I cannot see any reason why this would be going on. Any thoughts would be welcome.

Use the Inspector/Text/Text pane to adjust the inset margin to assure a uniform margin around the text in the text box. This screenshot is without any margin:
And this is with a margin added:

How do I add a link to an external site from my navigation toolbar?

I want to add a link to an external page on the navigation bar, but when I right click or use inspector nothing looks useful. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Open the Inspector and then click on Hyperlink to create any link to an internal or external page. It is the second from the end and has the blue hyperlink symbol and yes, take time to look at what is in the Inspector - they are all 'useful' at some time!!

Inspector-Hyperlink-An External Page = a Relative URL?

I'm on iWeb '08 and have a question that I simply can't find an answer too despite searching many failed searches.
I'm using iWeb to publish to a folder, so that I can later ftp the finished site.
In my site, I want to add a hyperlink to an external URL, however the URL: box seems to only allow absolute url's to be entered after selecting Link To: An External Page.
Is that right? Am I missing something?
How do I create a hyperlink with a relative URL?
Thanks in advance,
JPS

I don't understand what you mean by relative url?
To create a hyperlink to an external page, click on Inspector in iWeb and then click on Hyperlink. When in Hyperlink click on 'link to an external page' and then type in the url that you want to link to and you can also have it open as a new page.
Not sure what else you are trying to do?

IWeb External page Hyperlink within MobileMe/iDisk

For the last few years I have had my iWeb site set up on my MobileMe Home/iDisk, I note that iWeb files are kept at Home > Web > Sites which contains _gallery, Sites.rss and my home pages.
I have created a genealogical web site using Reunion v9.0b which is kept at MobileMe > Home > Sites. This site was linked to my iWeb pages via a Hyperlink Link To: An External Page. The URL has been http://homepage.mac.com/adrianskehan/Sites/skehan/index.htm which has worked OK. for the last few years.
The Problem is that the HomePage web application went offline on July 7, 2009. As of that date, members are unable to create new pages or edit pages you have already published.
While I can get a link to connect to any other file in the Reunion set it will not connect to the INDEX files???
Now that I have had to update the Reunion Files how do I link it back to my iWeb pages?
Message was edited by: Adrian Skehan

Unfortunately that does not work, it comes up with the following:
Looking for something on MobileMe?
We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again.
If I make the URL: http://homepage.mac.com/adrianskehan/skehan/index.html I get:
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 12 at column 14: AttValue: " or ' expected
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
The footer is the only part of the page that shows.
Skehan Family History

I have tried rebuilding the site changing the index page to each preference in Reunion and resetting the Link for each but get the same result.

Displaying external page as portlet

How do I display an external page like 'http://www.wsj.com" as a opened page in a portlet as opposed to a link?

You have 3 choices for doing this:
1) You can use the dump URL portlet that comes with the PDK.
2) If you want to show only part of a page (ie. get rid of advertisements and misc. other junk) you could build a PL/SQL portlet using UTL_HTTP to call the page, parse out the good stuff and display it as a portlet.
3) If you are know your user population and know that they are using IE or newer versions of Netscape, you can make an HTML portlet, and add the URL as part of an Iframe, for example:
<IFRAME src="http://www.yahoo.com" height=500 width=500></IFRAME>

How to catch and display a link content in another portlet page?

Can you tell me how to display a URL content into next page after an user click s on this link? I am developing a JSR 168 portlet under a Portal. I have 3 pages so far in my portlet. view.jsp, view2.jsp and IpByHourPage.jsp. view2.jsp displays a lis of IP address. When an user clicks on an IP in view2.jsp, it goes to IpByHourPage.jsp. How to catch the IP address such as 123.23.89.21 that an user just click displayed in IpByHourPage.jsp. I don't know why I got null value returned.
Also, I don't know how to do a "go back to previous page". I want to go back to view2.jsp from IpbyHourPage.jsp
Here is my code
in view2.jsp
<portlet:renderURL var="aURL">
<portlet:param name="goto" value="IpByHourPage"/>
</portlet:renderURL>
<a href="<%=aURL.toString() %> "><%=MyIP%></a>
in IpByHourPage.jsp
<%
String MyIPHour = request.getParameter("goto");
%>
<h1>IP Report by Hour ( <%=MyIPHour%> )</h1>
<portlet:renderURL var="Ret_IPByHour">
<portlet:param name="Ret_IPHourPage" value="Ret_IPByHourPage"/>
</portlet:renderURL>
<center> <a href="<%=Ret_IPByHour.toString() %> "><b>Choose Another IP</b></a></center>
in my .java file
protected void doView(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response)
throws PortletException, IOException, UnavailableException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
String MyBegDate = request.getParameter("BegDate");
String MyEndDate = request.getParameter("EndDate");
String MyNetworks = request.getParameter("networks");
String MyYourName = request.getParameter("yourname");
PortletURL renderURL = response.createRenderURL();
renderURL.setPortletMode(PortletMode.VIEW);
request.setAttribute("renderURL", renderURL.toString() )
String GotoRenderAction = request.getParameter("goto");
String MyIPHourAction = request.getParameter("Ret_IPHourPage");
if ( (MyIPHourAction!=null) && MyIPHourAction.equals("Ret_IPByHourPage") )
PortletRequestDispatcher kk = getPortletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/view2.jsp");
kk.include(request, response);
if (MyIPHourAction != null && MyIPHourAction.equals("Ret_IPByHourPage"))
PortletRequestDispatcher mm = getPortletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/view2.jsp");
mm.include(request, response);
if (GotoRenderAction != null && GotoRenderAction.equals("IpByHourPage"))
request.setAttribute("BegDate", "MyBegDate");
request.setAttribute("EndDate", "MyEndDate");
System.out.println("BegDate" + MyBegDate);
System.out.println("Endate" + MyEndDate);
PortletRequestDispatcher mm = getPortletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/IpByHourPage.jsp");
mm.include(request, response);
if(MyEndDate!= null )
PortletRequestDispatcher prd = getPortletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/view2.jsp");
prd.include(request, response);
else if (MyEndDate==null && GotoRenderAction == null)
PortletRequestDispatcher prd = getPortletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/view.jsp");
prd.include(request, response);
The problem for above code is the clicked single IP can not be displayed in IpByHourPage.jsp. and I cannot go back to view2.jsp from IpByHourPage.jsp. when I click "Choose Another IP"
I find out that the MyBegDate and MyEndDate values are all null when I click Choose Another IP link. I got the following error message
Caused by: javax.servlet.ServletException: Unparseable date: "null null"
     at org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.doHandlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:858)
     at org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImpl.java:791)
     at org.apache.jsp.view2_jsp._jspService(view2_jsp.java:651)
     at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:97)
How to fix above problems. Thanks

I think the problems are related to portletsession. But I don't know how to use it. How to put portletsession into doview method or my jsp pages. Can anyone tell me in my code? Thanks a lot.

How to display links in the main page

Here is a simple question from an EP beginner-
I am working on a demo EP site for our company (EP 6.0 SP9). After the user logs onto the Portal, I want to display a main page with standard Header and Nav bars, and then (in the inner page?) display a list of links to iViews. The iViews are SAP transaction iViews and url iViews, most of which I have already created and they work fine in preview mode.
The question is, how to I modify the main page to display the links and maybe a company logo? Is this an addition to the framework page or something completely different? In a previous life I created ASP/HTML/javascript pages so coding would not be a problem.
Thanks in advance,
Alan

Hi Alan,
If u want to display the iviews to a user you want to create roles.
First Create all the required iviews,then create pages. Add the iviews to the page. Create workset and add page to the work set. Then create roles and add the workset to the roles. Dont forget to set the Entry point property of role to YES.
Go to User admin>> select the user to whom u want to show the iviews and assign the role u created to the user.
Then log in as that user. The iviews will be displayed to the user.

How to display a linked multi-page pdf?

I am a DW newbie building a small website for my book design business. I would like to show book design samples as spreads in a multi-page pdf (set up with page display set to two-up) linked to thumbnail images on a web page. I have created the links, but the pdf either opens in another window as single page, or (in Firefox) triggers a dialog box which asks to either dowload or open in Acrobat. Is the display of pdfs always dictated by the client browser settings or is there a DW behavior or widget that can accomplish this? Any other ideas on how best to display these samples? DW CS5.5, Mac OS 10.6.8.

Thanks for your reply. I think I have what I need now: I can export pdfs out of InDesign as spreads, and then the pdf reader in the browser sees that spread in the linked pdf as a single page. Should have thought of that sooner. Would be nice if there was some way to control the display of linked pdfs with code rather than be at the mercy of the client browser.

Display Doc ID with Link to the Property page in SharePoint 2010

Good Morning.
I have been asked to add the DocID to the search results. Part two is to have that docID link to the property page for the item.
I have added DocID to fetched property's and can display it fine on the page but I am having problems creating the link to the property pages.
can anyone help?
So far I am trying to do this in the searchcoreresults XSL.
I would like the format of the DOCID to appear like this.
[ DOCID ] with the Hyperlink to take you to the item property's page.
thank you.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display Doc ID with Link to the Property page in SharePoint 2010.
SharePoint indexes Document IDs as a managed property by default, which means that with a little magic, we can add the Document ID into the search results.
We need to modify the XSL so that we display the Document ID in the search results.
Here is a great article for your reference:

Link iWeb Page To External Page

How do I link a page I've created in iWeb to my Blogger site? Meaning - when folks click on "Blogs & Podcasts" in the iWeb index, they will be automatically brought to my Blog site (external page)? I've tried everything and nothing seems to work!
I don't want to have an image on my iWeb Blog page where it's hyperlinked...I literally want folks to just be brought to my external Blogger page. Is this possible?

Hi Juliet,
You could create an auto-popup window you will find instructions on the following page
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Music.html
BUT the auto popup window will not work for those whom have set their browser to block popup windows (for security reasons and because they're annoying sometimes...)
Another solution would be to embed the Blog into an iWeb page using an iframe like the example on this page:
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Blogging.html
Another solution is provided here
