Embed URL to launch iChat
roughly a year ago a contributor whose screenname is Defcom(UK) assisted someone else regarding this topic - here's the discussion thread...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1823543�
however, that thread has been archived so no replies are permitted, hence, the new topic. My question is, I am trying to accomplish this same feat by including a hyperlinked image in my iWeb page.... however, the suggested URL (or any other iChat URLs I've tried in this attempt) don't 'accept' in the iWeb inspector dialogue box. I am permitted to use http://... etc etc in that input field, but none of the 'iChat' URLs I've tried will work... is this futile, or am I doing something wrong with the syntax?
thx

The pic may not show here as too many things have to be fetched first.
The link itself.
It seems it does. (It also means this is a working link and the message has been changed so that I know where it came from)
The HTML
<a href="aim:goim?screenname=ralphjohnsr&message=Hi!,+I+came+from+your+website,ralphjohnsuk."><img align="right" src="http://big.oscar.aol.com/ralphjohnsr?onurl=http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com//images/RalphOn.gif&offurl=http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com//images/RalphOff.gif" alt="Webmaster iChat Online Status Indicator" border="0" align="bottom"></a>
The href tag (Anchor) to link the whole pic
<a href=" (see bottom to close it)
The bit that makes your IM application launch and open a Text chat and sends a greeting/message to the Buddy listed as the Screen name in this bit (so in this case to me)
"aim:goim?screenname=ralphjohnsr&message=Hi!,+I+came+from+your+website,ralphjohnsuk. (it actually lists one account and the message contains the Web Site name)
Send message to aim:goim?screenname=ralphjohnsr
And add a predetermined message &message=Hi!,+I+came+from+your+website,ralphjohnsuk.
The Bits that check if the screen name is On or Off line and attributes Pics to the On and Off Status
img align="right" src="http://big.oscar.aol.com/ralphjohnsr?onurl=http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com//images/RalphOn.gif&offurl=http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com//images/RalphOff.gif (The Align="right" puts this pic far right)
It means check big.oscar if this Screen name is on line http://big.oscar.aol.com/ralphjohnsr?
And if On post this pic from this URL on_url=http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com//images/RalphOn.gif&
And if Off this pic off_url=http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com//images/RalphOff.gif
The Altenative Text and closing of the anchor (href tag)
alt="Webmaster iChat Online Status Indicator" border="0" align="bottom">
Hope this helps.

Thanks & Regards,
H.K.Hayath Basha.Hi Kuthbudeen,
To change the title of the browser go to:
System Administration > System Configuration > Service Configuration > Portal Runtime > Central Configuration.
Scroll down to: portal.html.head.title
and change to required name.
Do restart ur portal for the changes to take effect.
Revert back if changes have taken place or not?
In addition,
U need to restart portal server ( logoff will not help)

.url files launch in IEplorerer instead of Safari
.url files launch in IExplorer instead of Safari, how can I fix it. I try to associate .url file (Internet Shortcut) to Safari, but windows vista does not let me change the Default Program (Internet Explorer. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
I think the programs like to manage these settings, instead of manually changing the File Associations.
Start IE and click Tools -> Options. Set it as your default.
Then open Safari and it should ask you. Click Yes.
Not sure why the file associations are ignored. -

ActionScript 2.0 to be able to embed URL into SWF file?
Hello,
It seems that the web based newspaper who is going to publish my ad banner doesn't have flash player 10 (or 9). My ad banner was made in Flash CS4 / ActionScript 3.0. Instead I now have to change the code in my invisible button to ActionScript 2.0 to be able to publish it in flash player 8. What is the ActionScript 2.0 code so I can make the same embed URL into my SWF file as I did with the following ActionScript 3.0:
function linkToSite(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var url:String = "http://www.IMAGESofFISHERMEN.com/?p=50#more-50"; // replace with your url
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(req, "_self");
urlBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkToSite);
Regards
MariaAs far as I know, the Flash player version should not be of any significance to the host service. It is the Flash player in the site visitor's web browser that decides matters.
In any case, that code would become...
urlBtn.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.IMAGESofFISHERMEN.com/?p=50#more-50", "_self"); -

Automatically Launch iChat plus another application when iChat starts
For all the Terminal/Automator/Apple Script/know-more-about-OSX-than-I-do people out there:
When I launch iChat I would like Skype to also launch, and the same for quitting. Is this possible?
I'm using 10.6.2 if that helps.
Thanks,
-RoyI have something similar that I start from an alias on my desktop. As it is right now it opens iChat and connects, connects to Skype, opens a series of webpages in tabs in Safari, and checks my mail.
It doesn't quit these apps but it would be easy to create a second application that quits these programs. Check out the example at http://www.atpm.com/15.11/speakable.shtml That workflow doesn't have the Skype commands in it but here is what I have currently using the following actions:
1. Connect to iChat
2. Login to iChat
3. Set iChat Status
4. Launch Application - Choose Skype
This is saved as an application that I trigger from an alias. Because it is an application a keyboard command could be assigned to it.
It would be easy to add a second workflow that quits the applications using a couple of Quit Application actions. I didn't build that part because I usually leave these programs open all the time while I am working.

Embed URL in a pop up window (Modal)
Hi All,
My requirement is to call a URL inside a pop window and the window should be a Modal.
I was able to call a URL using method create_external_window ( if_wd_window_manager->create_external_window ), but was
unable to make this as a Modal. Even though I set the parameter 'MODAL' of method create_external_window to abap_true, it still doesn't work.
So, I embed the URL in an iframe inside a view. After making this view as a part of a window, I call the window using method create_window ( if_wd_window_manager->create_window ). I was able to set this as a Modal. But the problem with using iframes is the pop ups inside a URL doesn't open if the URL is made a part of iframe.
Any other suggestions how to solve this ?
Thanks,
TomHi,
Just want to share that in WD, only Modal popup are possible. you can see this in description of parameter MODAL of method CREATE_WINDOW (Obsolete! Only Modal Popups Are Supported).
Thanks,

EP7 SP11 new behavior with url iview launching external apps
We have a simple URL iView that we deployed to open Lotus Notes (notes:///bookmark.nsf). When we use this in EP7 SP10 it launches the external Notes client on the end user's PC and leaves the navigation area of the portal blank white.
When we launch the same URL iView in EP7 SP11, we get an error page in the navigation window that says:
Navigation to the webpage was canceled
What you can try:
- Retype the address.
The Notes client still launches, but we'd like to get rid of this new error page that the support pack stack brought us.... Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!
RichHi,
Using the url in IE works fine. It seems to work everywhere but in the portal menu.
I have the appintegrator in the back of my mind, and will start to have a look at it. We are also considering a OSS message - this must be a bug in the system as far as I can see.

Hi Experts,
I'm using CRM web UI.I defined URL and configured in the transaction launcher.Now I'm able to see the newly created transaction launcher in web UI.When I'm clicking on this, new window is opening as a popup window(without having
menu bar-->File,EDIT,VIEW,FAVORITES...etc). Now the requirement is to open in full browser(it should have menubar, titelbar..etc).Please provide me your valuable inputs on this.
Thanks & Regards,
S.Gangireddy.Hi,
SAP has taken into account this point in the new versions (for me SAP 702 EHP1), with a new attribute in the customizing of the transaction launcher called "Keep Work area" :
Keep Work Area When Opening Launch Transaction in New Window
This indicator defines whether the work area content is kept when you open a launch transaction in a new window.
Use
If this indicator is not set and a launch transaction opens in a new window, then the main window loads the base page of the transaction launcher into the work area.
If this indicator is set and a launch transaction opens in a new window, then the main window keeps its current content in the work area.
Dependencies
This indicator is only evaluated if you have also set the indicator for using a new window.

Launch iChat at log in.....
hello.
I set my iChat to launch when I log into my computer, and now i can't find where to turn that feature off.
Can someone help?
thanks.
alexsystem preferences-->accounts-->login items
delete ichat from there using the "-" button.
my iChat doesn't have the same preferences as you mention. Maybe it's because i use AIM, not .Mac. in "Accounts" there is just a box with my AIM screen name and another box with my password. in "General" there is a box (which i have unchecked)saying "when iChat opens, automatically log in". i wouldn't care so much about iChat automatically launching when i start up my computer, but it causes a glitch which i can only fix by restarting. so i would like to prevent this. -
I don't know why, but I can't launch it. I double click it in the apps folder and just seems that is going to start but nothing happens...
Any clue?Hi Centurionbasso,
Open Terminal and paste the bold text into the window and hit enter
/Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat -errorLogLevel 7
If iChat launches quit it in the normal way.
If not post the log here and then quit Terminal.

Can't Launch iChat - Error Message
iChat launches and asks for “AOL instant messaging password” then it crashes before anything can be done or altered.
Error Message: "Application iChat quit unexpectedly.“
In other words, I can’t get into iChat to change preferences before it crashes. We felt the problem was a conflict with AOL. My fiance’ signed up for AOL when she first received her MacBook. We tried deleting any file relative to AOL. Still, no iChat.
Is there a way to delete iChat and re-install iChat through the Apple web site?See your double post.

URL to launch iTMS on the iPhone with search terms?
I'm trying to launch App Store on the iPhone (from an email, for example) with a URL that will bring up everything related to a search term. For example, the URL:
http://www.itunes.com/golf
launches iTunes on a laptop/desktop computer showing all the related golf applications, songs, etc., but it doesn't do the same on the iPhone App Store. This URL:
phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/com.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction /search?term=golf
also launches iTunes on a laptop/desktop computer showing all the related golf applications, songs, etc., and on the iPhone, it at least goes to the search page of the App Store, but it doesn't put in the search term.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance, ChuckActually, it looks like the URLs are opening up iTunes and NOT the App Store on the iPhone, so I'm looking for a URL that opens up the App Store with the search terms...
