Email feedback link in webhelp top nav bar, can it be done?

RH8 HTML
Hi all,
I've been trying to add a button to the top nav in webhelp, I want the button to send an email back to me, with a specified subject line, and hopefully the url, or title of the topic the user is looking at.
I want users to be ableto look through my webhelp, find a page, click the Feedback button, it launches outlook, or whatever using the mailto function, I'd like to append the topic title they are looking at so I can see what they are commenting about.
Has anyone done anything like this before?
Can it be done using JS.
I've found this code, which I added to a new custom toolbar item in the Javascript section, but so far it doesnt work.
<script>
u = window.location;
m = "Feedback";
function mailThisUrl(){
window.location = "mailto: [email protected]"+document.Mailer.address.value+"?subject="+m+"&body="+document.title+ " "+u;
</script>
any help greatly appreciated!!!

There are a couple of options in Snippets on my site.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to edit the links in the top navigation bar on an enterprise wiki site.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, my enterprise wiki site don’t have the drop down menu.
How did you add the Recent link?
How did you create the drop down menu?
Did you use the seattle master page or olso master page?
It will be better if you can descript more detail and provide some screenshots.
You can use JavaScript to add and remove the items in the drop down menu.

Home button on Top Nav Bar?

Is there any way to add a home button or any other custom
buttons to the top navigation bar?
thanks

I believe the answer is that you can anything you like to the
skin, as long as you are a Flash developer. :-)
Sorry but FlashHelp is not so easy to customise as WebHelp.

How do I vertically center links in spry horizontal nav bar?

OS: Mac OS 10.6.7
APP: Dreamweaver CS5.5
Browser: Opera, Safari, Firefox, Chrome
At first, positioning looked great in Chrome and Firefox but was off in Safari and Opera. The link text appeared half on the background image and half below it.
After ample fiddling, vertical positioning is not working in any browser. Please let me know what properties, in what combination, used on which HTML objects will get me reliable results.

Try line-height: 19px; and display: block; (as shown) on the following css seletor :
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a {
     font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;
     color: #CC6;
     text-decoration: none;
     padding-top: 10px;
     padding-right: 12px;
     padding-bottom: 10px;
     padding-left: 12px;
     line-height: 19px;
     display: block;
Normally setting a height on a container which you have no control over is not a good idea. The text can be enlarged and that will throw everything off. The best way is to set no heights at all but use padding and make sure your background image is flexible enough to accommodate the text enlargement.
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a {
      padding: 12px 12px;
     display: block;

SAP BPC 7.5 Client, Silent install but with progress bar, can it be done?

Hi All,
I need to uninstall the BPC 7 Client and then deploy 7.5 to around 250 users accross the country.
We have SCCM (SMS) in place so will be using that.
I have the uninstall of 7 sorted and I have the response file etc sorted for the silent install of 7.5 and the install runs, silently, no issue.
Is there a way though that one can "turn on" the progress bar during the install? So that users dont shutdown or disconnect in the 15min it takes the install to run.
By way of example, in the SAP Business objects enterprise client on can configure the Silent install so that although it never prompts the user for a reponse there is a progress bar that runs, indicating that there is an install in progress.
Thanks in advance,
Bryan

Hi Sebastian,
No worries, I am using a pop up countdown so the users have some idea on progress. Would love to know why the install runs for over 15min.
In the above case the uninstall was easy as we had deployed using MS AppV so it was just a case of deleting the advert in SCCM and the application was pulled from the users desktops.
For 7.5 I am using a vbscript with following to uninstall:
The install string pulled from the clients registry uninstall folder:
RunCommand Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{EC8753EF-EE78-48B5-A4D0-FBBD237B5D53}\setup.exe" & Chr(34) & " -runfromtemp -l0x0009UNINSTALL -removeonly"
We create a custom link, so this deletes it.
DeleteFile "c:\Users\Public\Desktop\SAP BPC 7.5.lnk"
You should be able to create something similar for 7.0 & 7.1
Hope that helps,
Bryan

Coloring email link differently from nav bar links

Hi: Please go to tedandada.com. Click on "contact us" on menu on the left. On the "contact us" page you will see two email addresses. They are black. I would like them to be red before they are even rolled over or clicked to open an email program.
How can I color them? I noticed that I can select and color ordinary text but I cannot select and color the email addresses because they are links.
I do not want to change the way the links work in the nav bar. I want them to stay as they are.
Thanks.

How right you are Kath.
May I suggest something? I will do HTML tutorials at this site:
http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp
So -- Murray and Kath -- I am not stubborn. (Okay, I am stubborn --- but I am not hopelessly stubborn). Also I like to learn new things.
BUT - I would still like you to walk me through this one thing I want to do one step at a time - using the knobs and dials. In the meantime, I will do the HTML tutorials -- but obviously it is going to take me time to get the hang of it. So please humor me in the meantime.
All I want in response to this post is the FIRST STEP. After I do that, I will write again for the second step.
MY object is to color the links which automatically open a mail program: "[email protected]" and "[email protected]"- on the "Contact Us" page on the tedandada.com site ---- without affecting the behaviour of the links in the nav bar.
I just want these links blue. I am not interested in hover or visited effects for these two links. (Perhaps these are not even called links - as they perform an action of opening the users mail program rather than linking to a place on my site or an external site).
Okay so far -- I hope.
Step 1: I open the page "contact us" on tedandada.com
Step 2: Here it seems I have four choices to start with (using the knobs and dials)
a: I can open "External CSS" in the head section of the "contact us page."
b: I can open "page properties" on the "contact us" page
c: I can click on the "open CSS editor" in the upper right corner of the contact us window.
d: I can select the links I want to color and open the CSS palette.
So --- Which of the four choices above (a, b, c or d do I do first?)
Let's just start here. OK?
In the meantime, I AM taking both of your advice to learn some HTML - by doing the tutorials --- but until I get a handle on it, please bear with me and help me the bells and whistles way.
Thanks for your help and patience.

How to hide or re-arrange individual links on top nav

Hi,
On my top nave, I see the current site as the very first link. After that, I have other manually created links. What I would like to do is to move that first link to, lets say, the 2 link on the top nav. The nav settings does not provide
the option to move this first link. So, are there any other options I can use? If not, my preference is just to hide that first link.
Thanks

If you want to hide the link use the following CSS code snippet in your page or masterpage.
.ms-core-listMenu-horizontalBox li.static > a{
display: none !important;
.ms-core-listMenu-horizontalBox li.static > ul a{
display: block !important;

Need help with linking text to nav bar please

Basically, i designed a layout in photoshop7.0. I sliced it
all, but left areas for where i wanted to type in text, then saved
for web and opened it up in dreamweaver 8. The thing is, i dont
know how to write the text in the area i left empty and it only
shows when i click a certain nav bar. I usually use iframes, but
this isnt gonna' be iframe friendly !!
Just to reiterate, i know how to type in the boxes, just dont
know how to link them to the nav bar buttons..
Any help would be appreciated,
Kind Regards,
Shyam Tanna.

This tutorial will show you how to do what you want.

Botton Nav Bar

i just need a simple text Navigation bar to float on the
bottom of my page to coincide with the top Nav bar. i've created a
Div ID for this, but i'm having trouble keeping it to default to
the bottom of the page below the other Div IDs.
here is the css:
#bottomBar {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
border-top-width: thin;
border-top-style: dotted;
border-top-color: #999999;
color: #333333;
padding: 0px;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
bottom: 0px;
here is the html:
<div id="bottomBar">paul consiglio :: 72pixels.com
</div>
thanks in advance.

That's not enough. If you want help from a NG like this
(manned by unpaid
volunteers) it is advisable to make things as easy as
possible. Follow these
simple steps:
1. Publish the page to the Internet
2. Post a link to that page
That way we can see the entire page in context and have
access to the
various support files LIKE THE CSS

DPS: Disabling Top Navigation Bar in Adobe App Builder disables Hot Spots in Articles

When I disable the top navigation bar in Adobe's app builder, my hot spots (linked to MSOs) in certain articles are also disabled. The hot spots work if I "refresh" and swipe back to an article with no overlays. How do I get my hot spots to work and also have the top nav bar disabled? Thanks.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to access it now that the app has been accepted. I had originally typed it up in Word thinking that I would be able to access it from the appeal site later, but that site is no longer accessible.
I essentially explained that I had followed the 59 page DPS guide step-by-step and that no where did it explain how to enable the iOS status bar to be visible at all times ... that I was a designer and not a programmer ... that in 2012, 12 of the top 20 grossing apps on the iTunes Newstand were created with DPS ... that my app was an interactive "literary" travel app that was to be read like a brochure. All that must have done the trick.

How do I print a web page and email a link to a web page?

I cannot print a web page like I could with earlier Firefox versions. Nor can i email a link to a web page. nor can I load google toollbar. i am very disappointed with firefox for not supportring these features.

Hi
1: here's (probably) the why : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12169422&#12169422
2: That's tough, if you're lucky someone wrote a handy Safari extension to modify print styles - otherwise it'd be tricky.

Email feedback form in Portal

Hi guys, very simple question here for some of you i would imagine. I have just started to maintain our company intranet - which is built with Portal9iAS - and as such i am a bit clueless at the moment.
What i need is an email feedback form on the intranet that staff can fill in then submit, and the results can be emailed back to me and stored in the db. How can i achieve this in the simplest possible way?
I know a bit of Java, but don't know how to use a JSP page to achieve this.
Regards,
Paul

Create the table to hold your data.
Create a Portal Form component based on that table. Give priviledges to the users (maybe authenticated_users?).
Create a database trigger on that table, on insert, that uses the UTL_SMTP PL/SQL package to send the email.
Google/Metalink UTL_SMTP for code examples.

New desktop has wrong path for page links in nav bar

I created a new desktop and have the following problem. The image links to portal
pages in the horizontal nav bar in the top have wrong path.
Example.
In the original portal the home page link in the nav bar has a image associated
with it in workshop.
\framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif
The partial url generated for the image looks liek this:
\mywebapp\\framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif.
I created a new desktop everything works fine except for the images. The href's
are created for the links but the image path is wrong.
the url generated is : \mywebapp\appmanager\framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif
The "appmanager" in the path causes the problem.
Is this a bug?

Hi Subbu,
I used workshop page properties to associate the image to the page.
framework/skins/classic/images/home.gif

Creating new page without linking to nav bar

I am creating a website that will have lots of pages. How can I create a page that doesn't link to my nav bar? IE.. I have home, about myself, resources etc.. each time I make a new page and name it, it automatically lists the webpage name in my nav bar. I only want say 5 topics in my nav bar but will have well over 50 pages in my site.. How do I do this? Thanks.

Hi,
and welcome to the Discussion Forums.
How can I have pages which do not display in the navigation menu?
1. Open iWeb then select a page you don't want to display in the top navigation bar
2. Open the Inspector and go to the 'Page' tab
3. Uncheck the "Include page in navigation menu" box
4.Now this page will not appear in the navigation menu but the navigation menu will still appear on that page as the "Display navigation menu" is checked (unless you uncheck that one too)
Regards,
Cédric
