External Linking Problems

heres the problem, i've embedded a flash movie into a webpage
using a java script, i have one external link within the movie and
i also have 5 internal links, all off the internal ones work
fine... the external link works when i just open the .swf file on
its own but when i use it within the webpage it doesnt do anything,
and the others still work fine.. im guessing its something to do
with the java scriipt??? if anyone could help that would be
great..

what code are you using for the links?

Illustrator CS5 external links problem

My company has recently switched over to using Illustrator as our primary interface design tool. We have several designers working on a set of files. We are using externally linked files for shared components and for any file that has a bitmap image needed. We are having problems with having to relink or update the links every time we work on a file after someone else has.
A lot of us work remotely so we are all working on a different directory. However the project directory is kept the same. We have all of our files with a links folder with all of our links in the same directory (this is how we do our InDesign files too with no trouble). It seems like Illustrator is linking things with the full path not the relative path. This is a big problem for us. We've already tried going into Preferences > File Handling and having links updated automatically. It does seem to help with the linked ai files but not any of the bitmap ones.
Does any one know how to fix this? Does Illustrator really link things with a full path instead of relative? Is there something else going on here?
Thanks!!

Mike, that's right, that setting simply automatically updates without asking, the placed content that had been modified. This doesn't update the path to the linked file and I didn't say that. What I said in other words is: if the linked file is not found where the path indicates but the file is in the same folder as the .AI file then the path will be updated for the session (double clicking on the link will show the new path) and it will be saved in the file if choosing Save. If you close without Saving the path will not be changed in the file.
Quick example:
Create an .AI file, place a linked image in it, then save the file NOT in the folder where the placed image is, and close.
Move the image file in a third folder.
Open the .AI file and Illustrator will report missing link.
Close the file.
Move the image file in the same folder as the .AI file and open the AI file - now everything will be fine but when you close it it will ask you to Save even though you've done nothing because there is a change which is the new path of the linked file.

External Link Problems

The Website I am working on is created with a Flash header
and Flash Content pages pulled together with ASP. Normally when you
visit the site:
http://www.llh-associates.com
there is no issues but if you go to
http://llh-associates.com the
external links do not work. Does anyone know why this is or a work
around to fix it?
In Flash the ActionScript for the buttons is this, this is
for the extranet button in the header:
on(press){
getURL("
http://www.llh-associates.com/extranet",
"_blank");
Thank you for any help you can give!

Some servers don't have redirecting from no subdomain to www
set up
so www.domain.com might not be the same as domain.com, but in
most cases it is.
Perhaps you should look into your server setting first.

OCCI Link problem (Error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol) in VS2012

Hi,
I'm having a hard time with this. I'm trying to implement OCCI within my application. Error I'm getting is:

- Included library path from OCCI download (11.2.0.3.0)
- Added oraocci11d.lib in linker
Please, what am I doing wrong?
Millions of thanks for any kind of feedback ;-)

Have you succeeded? I tried vs2012 and it passed compilation, but gave the run-time error of _crtisvalidheappointer. But the same code runs well with vs2010. I think Oracle needs to publish the new patch for vs2012

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

Acrobat X external document linking problem

Hello,
I have been using Acrobat 6 standard for our user manuals for years and have recently started using Acrobat X.
It seems that the external document linking has changed though. I used to put all of our 3rd party literature (PDFs) in a separate folder (to keep it clean and neat) under our main manual PDF. I would link to all those documents inside our user manual PDF. Then when I later burned the PDF and the 3rd party literature to a CD, as long as I maintained the folder heirarchy, everything worked just fine.
Under Acrobat X though this doesn't seem to be the case. If I just burn it to a CD, then the all of the external links are broken. I have been able to do this by adding Desinations names to the 3rd part literature but this is a lot more work and I don't want to modify all of the 3rd party docs. In addition, some of them are read only and you cannot edit them.
Does anyone know how to link to external documents in Acrobat X and then move them to a new location while maintaining the link without editing the external documents (some are read only).
Thank you for any help you can give me.

The Javascript code populates a field on the form and the If Then statement sets this value based on the amount in another field. I have changed all of the values in the If Then statement but the button is still using the old values.
I have tried this on three different computers and it will not pick up the new values.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CS3 - Design View not showing externally linked images

In CS3 Design View, externally linked images are not showing
up... i am only getting the place holder.
To prempt some questions:
1/ Links are correct and complete - apart from the fact that
they show up when previewing in the browser(s) - i have
crosschecked
2/ There are no spaces in the url
3/ In the 'View' menu, 'Display External Files' is checked
I had this problem before and escargo suggested saving and
rebooting. It worked then but strangely, today, that file is again
showing some of the externally linked images but not all. And on a
new file, created today, none of the externally linked images are
showing up... :(
I'm sure there's a simple solution to the problem... anyone
have any idea what it could be?
Thanks and cheers,
JJ

Firefox has started loading external links in a new window instead of a new tab

Until recently, external links have always opened in a new tab. The last few days thaey've started opening in a new window. I can't find anything I have changed.

I am running IE Tab 2 (FF 3.6+) 2.12.21.1 by ietab.net and was experiencing this problem... I just disabled it and the problem went away.

Business Catalyst | External Link | Hosting on BC | Original, "fake" URL | External website | Muse

Hi everyone,
I am hosting my Muse website at Business Catalyst. But of course I don´t want to my users to see where the site is hosted.
Thus my real URL is like: "www.mywebsite-businesscatalyst.com" but I made an adjustmend in my BC account so the URL which shows up in the browser is "www.mywebsite.com" (example)
Now – here comes my problem:
I want to have a link to an other website on my homepage.
When I click on the button, I am transferred to the other website, but the URL still shows "www.mywebsite.com"
But in this case I want it to show the real URL of the other website "www.theotherwebsite.com" (example)
Is this something I can change via Muse or via Buiness Catalyst?
Or can I change it at all, if I want to keep the settings with "my fake URL" www.mywebsite.com
I am so lost here!
Please help.
Thanks XOX,
best Frenchfries

Hi
You can hyperlink the button to external page url , which when clicked will take the user to external link.

Re: Fwd: Link Problems With Borland C++ 4.52

I have seen this problem before in another context, and I'll offer the
cause and solution in the hope that they will apply to the Crystal problem.
Many Windows based applications rely on PASCAL calling conventions, which
change the way parameters are handled in function/method calls. They
indicate this by placing one of the following immediately before the
function name in the prototype declarations:
- pascal_far (or something like that)
- WINAPI
- some other typedef of either of the above
For example:
int WINAPI AddTotal(int valueA, int valueB);
Unfortunately, v2.0 of Forte does not provide any mechanisms for changing
the calling conventions of the prototypes in the generated C++ wrapper
library, so when you compile that code, the linker fails. I think that the
compiler may generate different symbols depending on calling conventions,
so that's why it fails.
To fix this, don't autocompile your code, but generate the distribution, go
into the generated C++ files and look for the function prototypes (I think
you can search for FORTE_NO_PROTOTYPES), add WINAPI to the appropriate
places in the prototype definitions (see above) and use fcompile to build
the library. Instructions for fcompile are in the Interfacing With
External Systems manual.
Hope this helps,
James

James,
Thanks for your quick response. Yesterday we had been running down
the path of examining the calling conventions and trying to change them
to PASCAL, but without much success. After receiving your note, we
went back over it again, and this time we were able to finally to piece it
together. In addition to editing the Forte-generated .cc file to declare
the functions as PASCAL, we also had to turn off the compiler's case
sensitivity. (The Crystal .lib file had the function names in mixed case,
but the Borland compiler was generating all uppercase for the names.)
Now I had actually tried this yesterday and it didn't work (in fact it
generated a whole bunch of new errors) - because until we took a
second look at it today, I didn't realize that Borland's linker actually has
TWO flags that control case sensitivity. If you only turn one or the
other off, things can get pretty ugly looking. As soon as we turned
both of them off, the compile and link went beautifully. Again, thanks
for your help; hopefully we are over the worst of it now!
Dale

Redirect from task-flow to an external link

Hi,
From a bounded task-flow I have to use an ePayment virtual system. I have some parameters to fill and call an external link. One of those parameters is the ReturnURL when the payment system will return after finishing the Credit Card payment.
I am confuse about what to give to ReturnURL variable if the call is from a task-flow. Note that I need the return to be in a specific View inside the task-flow to let me modify/add some value to the DataBase.
getHeader did not work because it gives the following:
request.getHeader("Referer");
http://localhost:7101/TasdeeqApp/faces/member-task-flow/certifyDocument?_adf.ctrl-state=12oyjcx0ho_27
Any idea about how to develop this type of external payment server using ADF-faces?
Task-Flow------->https://XXXX---->Back to a specific View inside the Task-Flow
Thank you
Jamil
Edited by: Jamil Nour on Sep 20, 2010 6:47 AM

Hi Jamil,
First of all in your case as you want to return to the page in ADF from the epayment, you must to use the UN-bounded task flow with a page that has bookmark flag==true in order to be able to return to that page in your UN-bounded task flow.
But if you are insist to use the bounded task flow when creating that task flow in the create page un-check the property use-page-fragment.
then, drag a page ->.jsp not .jsff on that bounded task flow and when you run that page from bounded task flow you will see the address.
use that address for the return-path.
http://127.0.0.1:7101/test-forum-ViewController-context-root/faces/adf.task-flow;jsessionid=vGtgMYGSnFdyv1LQXhJ1yQ69MWT26ppvVJQdZTRyzKStrs5L2kHq!-448081696?adf.tfId=*task-flow-definition1*&adf.tfDoc=*/WEB-INF/task-flow-definition1.xml*&_afrLoop=1003390740777&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null
those with bold is what the parameter must be included when you just right-click on the page on the bounded task flow and run it you will see the URL. just use that URL.
But if you want to use page fragment to be included in the popup in the page it is not possible to return to them.
to complicate the situation I have to add another problem that when you want to return to a page in the bounded task flow that page must be only the Entry point (the page with a green hollow around it) if you want to return to a page in the middle of the Task Flow you must use a router in the First Entry and that router base on some parameter from Request decide that go to which page.
if you think this senario complecated just drop me an email and I will create a test case for you.
another issue to consider is the property of adf.ctrl-state=16d41j3t8n4* generally when you want to return to an ADF application if you do not specify the exact adf.ctrl parameter to the URL when you want to return to ADF you will face some problem, to clarify the issue when you login to a ADF applicaiton a adf.ctrl parameter is generated that hold the user specific parameter when you leave ADF and want to return to ADF again, as you not login again(create fresh session), you want to continue your last session, you must return to ADF application with same value for ADFctrl.
I hope this issues give you the idea. ;)

FM10/Acrobat X hypertext link problems

Hi All,
I just upgraded from FM7 to FM10 (10.0.2.419 version), and Acrobat 6 to Acrobat X, and found that the hypertext links (which worked well in Acrobat6) within the same book are broken in Acrobat X. However, the cross-book hyperlinks work well in Acrobat6 and Acrobat X.
I have 3 book files which contains cross-book hyperlinks and hypertext links within the same book. The book structure is as follows:
../book1/A.book
../book1/chapter1.fm
../book1/chapter2.fm
../book1/chapter3.fm
../book2/B.book
../book2/chapter1.fm
../book2/chapter2.fm
../book3/C.book
../book3/chapter1.fm
../book3/chapter2.fm
../book3/chapter3.fm
All hyperlinks are linked with hypertext markers (newlink and gotolink in 'Special -> Hypertext'). The converted PDFs are placed in the same folder.
The cross-book hyperlink works fine. My story is:
book1 has cross-book hyperlinks to book2 and book3. To add a hyperlink from "book1's chapter1" to "book2's marker1", I add 'gotolink ../book2/chapter2.fm:marker1' in file ../book1/chapter1.fm.
When converting these 3 books to pdf files, I'll open all book files, and print book to ps file one by one. After that, I'll use Acrobat Distiller (Acrobat X) to generate pdf files.
The cross-book hyperlink 'gotolink ../book2/chapter2.fm:marker1' will be converted, the target filename will be 'book2.pdf', and the destination name will be 'M8.8.newlink.marker1'.
The hypertext link within the same book is broken. The scenario is:
In book1, I want to add a hyperlink from chapter3 to chapter1, so I insert the hypertext marker 'gotolink chapter1.fm:marker2' in file chapter3.fm. After the conversion, the target filename becomes 'chapter1.pdf' (it should be 'book1.pdf'), and the destination name becomes 'M5.8.newlink.marker2' (it should be 'M8.newlink.marker2').
Am I missing something for the hyperlink above? Any thoughts?

I think I am having the same problem and I suppose the issue is a matter of semantics and familiarity with linking in general. What I have is a PDF document with web links of the format that Kim describes, but my problem is that this format only appears to work for external links. So I need to ask what should kind of linking is suitable to internal references. For example, "<a href="Documentation/IO.OS 2.1.3 Technical Overview.pdf#nameddest=alarm&zoom=40">Tech Doc</a>" seems to work for me on a browser viewed PDF document only if "IO.OS 2.1.3 Technical Overview.pdf" is not the document containing the link. In other words named destinations do not seem to be the correct linking method for internal links in HTTP served documents. Perhaps the problem is the browser which is fix by workplace standards at IE7?
