but it doesn't seem to add the card,
what am i doing wrong?

  • How to force external links to open in new browser window/tab?

    Greetings. I'm here because searching elsewhere kept coming up with references to javascript. I've created an interactive PDF with both internal and external links. It works just fine when viewed in either Acrobat or Reader. However, it is being downloaded to users' browsers and when they access the external URLs, the new sites replace the existing page in the same window.
    Is there a simple way for me to include an action in the PDF prior to distribution that will force it to open external URLs in a new browser window or tab?
    And for the record, I barely know how to spell Javascript, much less how to write or implement it. So if there is a simple solution, I hope you can also help walk me through the steps to implement it.
    Thanks a ton.

    There are two issues here:
    - How to do it using JS
    - How to do it in a non-Adobe browser plugin
    The first is pretty straight forward. You use a code like this, replacing the dummy URL with your own:
    app.launchURL("http://www.example.com", true);
    The second issue is more problematic, and in fact there isn't really a solution to it. If the plugin used supports this method then it will work, if not, then you're out of luck. Unfortunately, outside of the Adobe software I don't think that any other plugin supports it.

  • External link opening in a loop

    Hi all,
    We have a requirement of adding an external link as a new area under the 'Overview' in the Home Page Framework for ESS.
    I carried out the following steps -
    - Create a z-resource for the url, in window name mention u2018_blanku2019. In the url path mention the url of the link to be called. Eg. Http://www.google.com.
    - Create a z-area.
    - Assign z-area to area group page (SAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005).
    - Create a z-subarea.
    - Assign z-subarea to z-area.
    - Create a z-service, mention u2018service typeu2019 as u2018direct URL launched in separate windowu2019.
    - Assign z service to the z-subarea
    - Go to content admin and do the following settings :
    o create a new iview using the i-view template.
    o Select template SAP WebDynpro i-view
    o Select application type as u2018WD fo Javau2019.
    o Enter application name as u2018sap.com/pcui_gp~xssutils/XssMenuAreau2019, namespace as u2018XssMenuAreau2019, and application parameter
    as u2018sap.xss.menuarea=ZNEWAREA&sap.xss.menuargrp=SAPDEFAULTESS_ERP2005&sap.xss.menuhdr=SAPDEFAULTu2019
    Where,
     sap.xss.menuarea will be the name of New Area you will create in SPRO,
     sap.xss.menuargrp is the name of Area group as in SPRO and
     sap.xss.menuhdr is the name of header as given in SPRO.
    o Change u2018open in new windowu2019 property of the iview to u2018Nou2019.
    o Create a WD proxy page and add the iview as a delta link to the page.
    - Now create a workset, and assign the page to the workset
    - Add the pcd link of the page to the resource in spro.
    I have done these settings in both our sandbox portal as well as our development portal. The link is opening correctly in the sandbox portal.
    However, the link is opening in a loop that takes us to u2018Overview' page over and over again in the development portal.
    We are unable to point out the cause of this difference in behaviour between the two portals inspite of the same settings.
    Any pointers on how we can rectify this issue will be appreciated.
    TIA.

    Dear varkgirl:
    Thank you very much for your help and valuable suggestion.
    I've tried your suggestion but ran into some problems. The links I am trying to open in another window are actually PDF files that the viewer can download from my website.
    Since I was having problems I decided to try something else. After publishing the website to my desktop I then opened the pages where the links are in Dreamweaver. The layout view is great and displayed the image just the way it appears on the browser's window. I first selected the "link button" to the file and then in the inspector windows (bottom of the page) I chose under target the "_blank" option. This tells the software that the linked page or file is to be opened in a new blank browser window. I then saved the page (re-saved it over the existing file) to incorporate the changes. After this I proceeded to navigate through the website and everything works great.
    Thank you for your help and suggestions. I just thought I would post this here in case it may be of help to you as well as others.
    Best regards,
    Joseph Chamberlain

  • Audio stops when external link clicked on?

    Hi
    I have a V/O audio file which read out eveything which is shown on a slide. Some of my slides have external links to either websites or PDF downloads and if they are clicked on while the audio is still going it will stop. Is there anyway of the user to still be able to click on external links and have the audio still play?
    I am using Captivate 5.5.
    Cheers

    Hi There,
    Welcome To Adobe Forum.
    Can you please try the following steps to see if that work for you.
    1     Insert the video/audio file that you have on the slide
    2.    Then insert a button to the slide using which you can open a link or a file externally.
    3.    Now on the button "Action" properties use the "open URL or file" option and then check the box "Continue playing the project" as shown in the image below:
    4. Now publish the file and play it.
    Thanks
    Loveesh

  • External Link - not opening

    At first I thought it was my firewall because I haven't had
    this problem before, but I found out it wasn't.
    I've tried three browsers with the same result (latest flash
    version) (Opera, Firefox, and Internet Explorer), but I still can't
    open external links in flash Example: Weather.com's Allergies
    Outlook (it says View Complete Pollen Cast) but the link will not
    open (unless I Shift-Click). But links that open in a new window
    will open just perfectly, links that attempt to open in the same
    window (that are external) will not open, no matter what I try to
    do. I've disabled Security software, re downloaded and installed
    Flash, tried on a different computer (which worked), tried 3
    browsers, closed all running (non-essential) processes.
    I'm not sure if this would have anything to do with it, but I
    did install Vista SP1, then remove it (it didn't work in SP1
    either), I'm not sure about before...
    Any Suggestions?
    If you need them here are system specs:
    Operating System: Windows Vista Ultimate
    Default Browser: Firefox 2
    Firefox Addons installed (should be irrelevant because it
    didn't work in IE, and so forth):
    Ad Block Plus, Foxmarks, and NoScript.
    Security Suite: Kaspersky
    Thank You

    I agree with OP. There should be a '''setting''' that makes '''all links that can be opened with an app open in the app immediately '''(or show the dialog OP mentioned).
    On a slow mobile connection, waiting for the page to load just to be able to click the icon and open it in the app is painful! It takes ages...

  • Strange problem with changing external links site-wide

    Hi, i'm having a problem that i just cant work out; i'll describe whats happening and would greatly apriciate any help anyone can give.
    when i type in an external/absolute link in dreamweaver sidewide change link function i keep getting a message saying it cant find any links with that name ("no links to.....found".
    i've tried creating a simple link in my index.html like http://google.com then searching for that so i know its there and dreamweaver still tells me that http://google.com, www.google.com, /google.com and every other variation i can think of doesnt exist. In addition to that when i search for broken links and click external links to try changing them there, the search function finds the links i'm looking for and lets me type in the new link i want but when i hit enter it reverts to the old link.
    at first i thought it was a problem with my copy of dreamweaver but i downloaded my site to a hard drive and tried on my uni computers copy of dw cs3 and cs4 with the same outcome.
    i have about 1000 of the particular link in my site that i need to change and really dont want to do this manually, if anyone could help i'd be extremely grateful.
    thanks, Andy

    note: although it seems straight forward i also followed youtube guides on defining my site and changing the links to make sure i hadnt missed something obvious.
    although it still maybe something obvious i just cant see it and i've been googling to find out if other people have had this problem but couldnt find anything

  • External links in Business package for web editing

    Hello,
    We are testing Busines package for web editing (BPfWE) for 2 requirements: to show web content in portal and also to show external links in portal.
    But we have problem with the latter (external links). Does anyone know how to add external links (web pages from different server) to BPfWE so we could browse internal and external web pages at one location? The problem is, that I can create new external link in Knowledge management, but unlike other documents, I can't publish it to BPfWE.
    So far, we've found 2 solutions:
    1. Separate BPfWE content (use it for internal pages) and classic Knowledge management content (use it for external pages) with different navigation tabs.
    2. Create HTML document with javascript to open external web page and publish it with BPfWE.
    But both solutions are quite strange and I still hope that external links could be shown in BPfWE as well and in some easier way. Could someone help?
    Thank you,

  • External links suddenly open in a new window instead of a tab

    I am using Nightly (20.0a1) on WIndows 8, I use the program Teamspeak 3 and it used to be that whenever I clicked on a link it would just open in a new tab in the Nightly window that was open, but now it opens a completely new Nightly window. I have the box ticked in settings, I've gone through all of the about:config things I've seen online and nothing works, I really have no idea what to do. I just did something with envoirenmental variables which didn't help (meant that it opened a whole new instance of Nightly whenever I clicked on an external link) so I deleted the variable. Anyone got any suggestions? If it is relevant, before this problem started I dragged a tab from one window of Nightly to another (think it might've been the cause of this), and yes, I've tried dragging tabs around from window to window to fix this and it didn't work.

    Thanks, but I already had it set to that, I've heard of many people with this problem and tried literally all fo the about:config fixes that I could find but none worked, I think it is some sort of assosiation problem with hyperlinked text with windows but I really don't know. Anyone who can help me please do, this is getting annoying. Keep in mind that I have Windows 8 when making suggestions also.

  • How to choose witch window will open external links when using multiple Firefox profiles at the same time?

    I am using 2 firefox profiles at the same, one for working and another for reading news. I start them with "firefox -no-remote -P profilename", so there are 2 firefox processes running.
    It works well, but when I click a link in an external app (like in Google Talk), the link is opened in the first firefox process I launched. I mean, if I ran the "news" firefox first, it will always open the external links.
    Is it possible to change this behavior? I'd like all external windows to be opened in the "news" firefox, never in the "working". Of course I'll achieve that if I open it first, but if I first run the "news", then the "working", then I close the news for any reason, now links will always open in the "working" until I close it.
    I running linux (opensuse 11.3).

    '''traysh''',
    Profiles '''''period''''' are "unsupported" by Mozilla. Profiles are "there" but the developers want no part of non-developers using them or fixing anything related to Profiles that has been suggested in a Bug report, or documenting much related to Profiles. Profiles as we know them now are going to disappear from Firefox in the near future, although no specific version number or date has been fixed for that to happen. It is up to us user's to share our experiences with Profiles with other user's. I'm a relative noob to Linux, and all my experience with running multiple Profiles and -no-remote is with Windows OS's.
    '''cor-el''',
    So are you saying that on Linux external links will only open in the first Profile that was opened if multiple Profiles are running?
    And that external links won't open a Profile that isn't already running - if any Profile is already running?
    ''I wish the differences between Windows and Linux as far as '''-no-remote''' and running multiple Profiles were better documented for "us" Linux noobs over at the MozillaZine KnowledgeBase - hint. Unless I am not looking hard enough in the MZ KB for that information....''

  • Cant open external links and multiple instances of the same profile.

    I have multiple firefox profiles.
    I constantly have two profiles running at the same time.
    I use microsoft outlook and see an external link, I click it wishing firefox to open it in the default or new browser. It does not and says "FIrefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
    Firefox is running fine.
    How can I open external links with a profile based setup?
    Also, how can I open multiple instances of the same profile? I find that if I click and drag a tab to another monitor, it opens a new "instance" or browser window.

    You say
    ''I have multiple firefox profiles. <br />
    I constantly have two profiles running at the same time. ''
    So you will have discovered ''-no-remote'' Note NOT to use that on the default browser; profile, only on secondary profiles.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Common_causes
    You will NOT be able to open multiple instances of the same profile, clone the profile if necessary.
    If you are trying to run multiple Webmail accounts in one profile then you may well find the webmail is identifying and setting the user account that is opened. Use a Private Browsing window to get round that and open a second account.

  • Is there a limit for external links in TOC using RoboHelp 9.2?

    Hi,
    This is my first time posting to the Adobe forums. Here is my problem.
    I have been maintaining help projects using RoboHelp 9.2 for quite some time now to generate WebHelp. I now have four large projects that are linked through a URL in each project's TOC.  Example: I have projects A B C D. In A's TOC, I include a link to B C D default topics. In B's TOC, I include a link to A C D default topics. And so on ... The fourth project (D) is new.
    The problem I've encountered is with the image appearing in the TOC next to the external link entry for project D in the generated WebHelp.  The image showing up for project D is different from the other two, even though the properties for that page are exactly the same as the other two.  This happens in all three remaining projects (A B C). Even when I change the image (from the image index), the same image (i.e. the standard image for a topic page) appears regardless.
    What should appear in all cases is image 13.gif.
    (I'll have to figure out later why 19.gif is selected in the properties dialog, whereas 13.gif is actually showing up in WebHelp. Doh.)
    Any ideas?
    thanks,
    denise

    No.  Time Machine should be on a separate HDD and will take care of deleting backups when necessary on that drive.

    I would consider installing a larger internal HDD.  Capacities to 1 TB are now available.

    All Macs using Time Machine will experience the same conditions.  The problem is that many users do not under stand what 'Other' is and that leads to confusion.  There are many essential OS files in that category that should not be touched as well as some user files.  The issue is not to reduce 'Other' as such, but reduce the total amount of data on the HDD if space is becoming a premium.

  • Opening external link in a new browser window

    Some of the external links in my web page need to open in
    their own window, leaving my site still open in the background. Can
    anyone tell me how to do this? I don't see an option anywhere when
    I am creating these links.
    The links are to, for example, "The City of ......", and
    could be quite long to traverse. I don't want my visitors to have
    to click their browser's back button who knows how many times to
    get back to my site.
    I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks

  • I've migrated FF settings to a new PC and no external link opens now

    Couple days ago I've received my new PC and migrated all important data from the old one using a special W8 tool. I've also installed Thunderbird and FF anew, and migrated their setting using tools recommended here (FF Sync + MozBackup). And suddenly I've lost a possibility to open any external link in FF now no matter the source (Thunderbird or any other piece of software). Now I have to copy and paste URLs manually. It's not the best solution. Old PC OS: Vista Business, new PC OS: W8.1. Thanks in advance.

    You may also wish to try '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' before a reset to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
