External links in these forum posts

Hi,
Is it possible to ensure external links in the forum posts open in new windows or tabs (according to the users browser settings).
Navigating away from the forum and then navigating back to read more of a post is a bit of a pain.
Thanks
Phil

nope, unless someone add target="blank" to the links they post.

Preferred way to link to other forum posts in your message?

Hi,
Every once in a while I come across forum posts that have links to
other posts in them. However, sometimes I cannot follow the link
and get back to the message that the poster is referring to. Is
there a standard way to link to forum posts?
For example, take the following thread:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=330&message.id=4386&query.id=0
The second message in this thread lists a URL that starts with
exchange.ni.com, and this just goes to a generic error message.
The poster does not give enough information for me to find the message
using an advanced search.
Are there any standard procedures for linking to other NI discussion forum messages for new posts?
--Peter

This is due to changes which were made to NI's site (and probably the database) that make old links obselete. Most people just use the method you did and hopefully these links will be kept up-to-date.
In this case, if you post a new message in that thread, I'm sure Ray will be happy to help you.

Links in SDN forum posts

Hello!
This is probably trivial for most of you, but I just can't do it.
How do I create a link in a SDN forum post? The standard way doesn't work, and tips from the weblog "Weblog formatting tips&tricks" by Mark Finnern obviously don't apply here:
<a href="http://sap.com/community" target="_blank">SAP Community</a>
See?
So please enlighten me: how do I do this?
Thanks!
Igor

Hi,
If you don't want a description and just the plain URL shown, you only need the type the URL and all happens automagically. eg http://sdn.sap.com will be shown as link.

How do you post images in these forums

I've been wondering for a while. How do you post like a screen shot on these forums (so I can better illustrate me questions.)

Hi Caleb!
How To Post Images In  Discussions
Create a Screen Shot of the image you wish to post.
Upload the image to an online storage facility, like one of these linked to below.
Flickr
ImageShack
PhotoBucket
Twango
Then use HTML formatting, to insert the URL of the location.
Use this format <img src="Insert URL Here">
Keep the images small, and unobtrusive, when possible.
You can also just post a Link/URL, to the image location, using this format:
<a href="Insert URL Here">Type Title Here</a>
Have Fun!

Posting script code in these forums

OK, it looks like there are some (new) formatting issues with these forums when people try to post their scripts. I have been using a formatter script that converts the text on the clipboard to HTML and then wraps it in a pre tag, but there still seems to be some issues with certain characters. The following script has worked for me so far (although I don't post that much) - what other scripts or methods work for you?
<pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">-- script formatter
property TempFile : "SF_TempFile" -- a temporary work file
property TheWidth : "width: 720px; " -- a width attribute (deprecated in HTML 4.01)
try
set TheClipboard to (the clipboard) as string
set MyOpenFile to open for access ("/tmp/" & TempFile & ".txt" as POSIX file) with write permission
set eof of MyOpenFile to 0 -- empty the temp file
write TheClipboard to MyOpenFile
close access MyOpenFile
-- convert to HTML - see man textutil
do shell script "cd /tmp/; textutil -convert html -excludedelements '(html, head, title, body, p, span, font)' -encoding US-ASCII " & TempFile & ".txt"
-- strip the first line (<?xml ?>) and add the <pre>...</pre> wrapper
set TheText to rest of (paragraphs of (read ("/tmp/" & TempFile & ".html" as POSIX file))) as text
set TheText to "<pre title=\"this text can be pasted into the Script Editor\" style=\"font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; " & TheWidth & "color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto\">" & TheText & "</pre>"
set the clipboard to TheText
display dialog ((count TheText) as text) & " characters placed on the clipboard" with title "Script Formatted" buttons {"OK"} default button "OK" giving up after 4
on error ErrorMessage number ErrorNumber
display alert "Error " & (ErrorNumber as string) message ErrorMessage as warning buttons {"OK"} default button "OK"
end try</pre>

Hello red_menace,
Indeed a pre-processing code like yours is always an option for us, but from my point of view, the correct solution is for the discussions' admins to disable this meddlesome formatting feature of the new fora software.
This new feature affects not only new posts but also the existing messages in the fora, that means it has rendered quite a few useful messages totally useless. This is actually serious data loss caused by the thoughtless software. And for what?
After all, these discussions' boards are not chat rooms where people might want some simple input methods for fancy text formattings, but technical support fora where people frequently post programming codes, computer outputs and so forth that have many reserved symbols and notation.
I really wish they may fix this promptly.
Best regards,
Hiroto

Off topic: posting XML/HTML in these forums

How do you post XML to these forums? Encoding the < as > just gets interpreted as a literal, but using straight XML doesn't work because if there's overlap with HTML, the XML gets formatted as HTML. Here's an example -- if you have an XML tag called "s" (< s n a m e = " f o o " > b a r < / s > ), look what happens (because of the strikethrough HTML tag): <s name="foo">bar</s>.
Sorry to post off-topic!

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

Read the first extract for the definition of backup snapshots and how they are handled by the OS.
2-Shoud I delete older backups? If for example, all I need from Time Machine is the latest backup done today, can I get rid of the 2+ yeras of backups, or do they not take up that much space?
No. Time Machine should be on a separate HDD and will take care of deleting backups when necessary on that drive.
3-Back to the issue, considering I don't have access to a an apple store for the next few months, what is my best plan of action?
I would consider installing a larger internal HDD. Capacities to 1 TB are now available.
4-I am considering buying a new macbook 15inch, and get more space, however, I'm scared that the same problem will happen again. Is this common on all macs? Will using Time Machine to "Restore" my backups bring along the issues as well?
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.

WebHelp fine with external links, but AIR output isn't.

Sorry for the repost, but I did not get any eyeballs by posting this in the Adobe AIR or Other Single Source layouts forums. Hoping to get some experts' opinions here.
I have this problem with using the AIR packager for RH7 as well as RH8. Please advise.
My RoboHelp project has a bunch of links to external files such as XMLs, HTMLs, JAVA, etc.(some are local files that I add later to the WebHelp output while others are HTTP links). When I generate the AIR output, these links do not work. The link is clickable, but when clicked, the content of the external file just does not load. I checked that the files do exist, so it's not an issue about missing files.
The generated WebHelp output works absolutely fine.
How do I resolve this? It seems the AIR packager was designed to ignore external links. Is it absolutely uncommon to have external links in a RoboHelp project?
Thanks,
K

Hi Kutra
Have you tried using a Redirect topic for these? I'm curious if that may be a workaround for you.
To create a Redirect Topic:
Create a new topic in RoboHelp.
Edit the HTML code.
In the HTML code are a few tags that begin with the word META.
You want to insert a new line that looks like this:
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="0;URL=Path/FileName.DOC">
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="0;URL=Path/FileName.XLS">
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="0;URL=Path/FileName.PDF">
Note that you would only insert a single line. I listed what it might look like for three different files.
The position of the tag shouldn't be important. However, sometimes I find that I do have to play a bit with exactly where I insert it in order to coax RoboHelp into accepting it. I've never noted a "magick" position that works every tiime through. I really wish RoboHelp offered an option that says "leave this code alone!".
Please try that and see if it is successful or if it fails miserably.
Cheers... Rick

I used to champion these forums. Now I don't give a gnat's...

I was a contributor, a corrector, a clarifier.
I'd write 1,500 words explaining every possible angle on the simplest of topics, sometimes revealing tricks to people who have far more experience with Photoshop than I do. I exercised painstaking detail in choosing the proper terminology and phrasing when answering questions, and I'd test everything to make sure what I posted was correct. I was an obsessive re-editor of my posts if I noticed the wording was wrong, or didn't flow well. I'd craft screen shot composites so clean you couldn't tell they weren't monitor images that could occur natively. I added arrows, and numbering, and translucent, colored-box paragraph backgrounds for descriptors, colors chosen for the best clarity I could muster. I'd bodge together difficult GIF animations and QT Movies if it would help a user understand a concept more completely.
I was a defender, a protector, an evangelist.
I took it personally when newbies and spammers would come in and muck the place up. I was sometimes brusque, other times gentle in trying to bring people into line with how to get the most out of their time here. I beat up on troublemakers ruthlessly, and without remorse.
I brought the "How to Get Help Quickly" mantra to this forum after reading it elsewhere, because it was the best exposition I'd ever seen on the subject of efficient information exchange.
I'd take the time to help troubleshoot forum problems.
Now, I don't give a crap about what happens to this place. I'd been hoping for the best, as I had during past attempts at major forum changes.
It's clear to me now that the planning, preparation, roll-out and fine tuning has been doomed from the start.
Every single person involved in ramming this new system through is to blame.
And I'm only one person. I'd guess there are hundreds of people who feel the same way I do.
Too bad, Adobe. You totally and completely screwed up.
I'll still visit once in awhile, because there are people here that I like.
But as for all that content I was giving away for free—and happily, I might add—and all the cheerleading I did for this place?
You can shove all that right up that gnat's arse and then go sit on your own thumbs and spin.
It feels to me like you are intentionally doing almost everything in your power to discourage the type of participation I used to revel in. From slow bug fixes and promises unkept (EFF you very much, Jive–shysters) to the mere trickle of ongoing feedback and update info offhandedly tossed to us, Adobe have become slumlords, slapping paint on a building that fails to meet standard-of-living code. Sure, there are some decent new features, but they either don't work, work only part of the time, are cumbersome, and generally regarded as so slow as to inhibit any sort of lively momentum.
I'd be ashamed and embarrassed to be the captain of this rotting ship. As a fully vested, ranking mate on this vessel, I hereby resign my commission.
You don't deserve my help anymore.

Phos, although I am answering your opening message, I'm not really addressing this message to you, but to everyone.
Almost exactly a month ago, I accepted the first important job I have been offered in more that two years. I did although it had a 30 days deadline and I knew it was very difficult, if not impossible, to complete it in that time. Well, I did manage to finish it not long ago, and one of the first things I did was to come back to my once beloved forums, full of hope of being met with some important changes introduced in these 30 days.
I am sorry to say that, so far, I have noticed only these two changes:
1. The "Report spam..." link in the stickies now points to the correct thread, not to a locked one, something I had been asking for weeks before this 30 days interlude; and
2. The problem for which I offered a suggestion in this post
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1968406#1968406
and which had received a very good solution as I reported two days later, is back here. Plus, the "Next" button doesn't work (I don't remember if it worked before the change that was reverted).
As this forum is full of so many easy to fix complaints, seeing only these two changes in 30 days -one of which can hardly be called an improvement- was really very discouraging. However, what really got me down was reading the opening post of this thread.
Those who haven't followed Phos' trajectory in these forums may think that he is making false pretences, or at least exagerating, about his contributions to these forums. I am one of those who can testify that he is doing neither.
To make it short: over these so many years trying to give whatever modest help I'm capable of in the Acrobat and Reader forums, I lost count of the times I asked Phos, somewhat jokingly, to please leave the easy questions for me to answer. Each time I saw a just published easy one, I rushed to try to answer it, only to find he had done a much better job than my attempt, and had replied a several other more recent questions in the meantime. He showed an infinite patience to answer the same questions over and over again, which I admired because I don't have it and just refered the questioner to the appropriate FAQ instead -when I did manage to post before he did.
And he did everything else he writes in his OP, never boasting about what he did and accomplished. That's why I am sorry he had to do it now, I imagine that in an attempt to put some weight to his words. Not for us, of course, but for those responsible for this unbelievably large fiasco they have so stubbornly refused to acknowledge. And we used to call a fiasco the previous one, which was nothing compared with this mess, and which was rectified!
I am afraid that I am feeling my age, and so I'm finding that the enormous effort that too many very capable users have being putting in suggestions to improve these new forums, since the last "little fiasco" until now, to be such an gigantic waste, that I also don't feel like continuing. Had I not had this 30 days interlude with no noticeable changes, I would probably have continued by inertia for much longer, hopefully waiting for the improvements that never come, but this has opened my eyes. However, just logging in, or moving from one forum to another, is so excruciatingly slow that I find I simply do not have enough time to waste in just waiting for things to happen.
I will miss the group spirit of the old forums, and the many persons I got to know and like and care for, although knowing that I would never meet them. But then, I am missing more of them everyday and, after all, such is life.
Just a final thought. It is most probably true that JC has spent this week in the moutains. I would be happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, but I would say his presence has hardly been noticed, if at all, for quite a lot longer than a week. Another one of those many not at all encouraging signs.

External link to location in PDF not working

I can't get an external link to open to a specific place in a PDF. I have tried the code for named destination and a page number and nothing is working. I actually found some good documentation on line that should me all the parameters that could be passed, unfortunately, they aren't working.
Here are the ways I have test linking into the PDF:
http://at3etfsn1.atlanta.ibm.com/crm/sheol/Marketing/MAT_DPP_ExercisesA.pdf#nameddest=LogO ut

http://at3etfsn1.atlanta.ibm.com/crm/sheol/Marketing/MAT_DPP_ExercisesA.pdf#22
The link is stored on a wiki... but I didn't think that would make a difference. The PDF was created using Acrobat 9.0 from a Word document. I have made sure that the document does not have any security. Please let me know if you have any suggestions that might help me get this to work.
I know this is shocking, but I did actually read the documentation. LogOut is a bookmark I made with no spaces in the name. I'm not sure what else to try. If you have some examples or suggestions please let me know.
Thanks for your help.
Take care.

The link was copied from a post I'd made to AUC from back in 2008; so, yes it can/does work.
I've used PDF Open parameters with MSIE 5, 6, 7, & 8.
During use of any particular MSIE release I always keep it updated as MS rolls out the updates.
Used Adobe Reader 5, 6, 7, 8, & 9 - each updated as Adobe rolled out the updates.
Used Acrobat 5 (Full), Pro 6, 7, 8, 8 3D, 9 (Pro Extd).
Again, as updates are rolled out they are applied.
Just checked again with:
MSIE 6 (fully updated) & Adobe Reader 9.3.2
MSIE 8 (fully updated) & Acrobat 3D (8.2.2)
MSIE 8 (fully updated) & Acrobat 9 Pro Extd (9.3.2)
For all, the open parameter performed as expected.
Source PDF's Initial View is page only.
Rendered in browser showing bookmarks and opened to the specified page.
As to MSIE add-ons; this varies with the MSIE release.
IE 6 shows less than IE 8.
Various threads at Acrobat User Community may be informative.
For keyword search: "open parameters"
For Author search: "daka630"
At AUC Forum Search:

5th post to this thread has the link I used above as well as some others -
http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=15061
n.b., tried the links you provided - nothing appears in the browser - same if I delete # and all subsequent characters after the file extension.
As to "installs" - basically, I run with the out-of-the-box installs; nothing "custom".
One thing that is common to the Adobe Reader/MSIE 6 & the various Acrobat/MSIE8 checks I just did is that for "Documents" in the Preferences the 'Open Setting' of "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" is not ticked.
-- just an end note here, open parameters have been around since at least Acrobat 4.x
Be well...

KM API : Creating External Link with Overwriting feature

Hi,
I am using KM API to create an external link on a KM folder.
This is the code which I am using for it.
    try
      pathRID = RID.getRID(p_parent);
      collection = (ICollection)p_ResourceFactory.getResource(pathRID, p_ResouceContext);
      collection.createLink(p_childname, URL.getInstance(p_linkValue), LinkType.EXTERNAL, null);
    catch (NameAlreadyExistsException naee) {}
Now, in my case, there are chances that an external link with same name already residing in same folder. In this case I want my method to overwrite existing external link with the new one.
How to do it?
Thanks and regards,
Amey Mogare

I could not get any response to this question here. Seems like I need to post this to Portal forum??
For the time being, I am deleting existig Resource and creating a new one!

Problem with these forums

I don't know that this is necessarily a Safari issue, but I wasn't sure where to post it. I've got an odd display problem on these forums. When I click the My Posts link, I see odd formatting problems if one of my posts included a link or a smiley in the first few lines. Take a look at the screen shot below for an example:
!http://web.mac.com/thomasareed/forum_issue.png!
If I look at the source for this, it looks like the href attribute for the link gets cut off and is not properly closed, meaning that everything until the width="1%" attribute on the td for the next post's number is lost.
I've also noticed a couple times where one page of posts will end with a number like 28 and the next page picks up with 30, but where was 29? I suspect it's probably related to the above problem.
Is anyone else seeing this? I find it hard to believe that Apple would have left a problem like this for as long as I've been seeing this, yet I am not sure what other possible explanations there could be. Any ideas? If it's a forum bug, how do I report that? I can't find any way.
Thanks in advance!

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

External Link creates an Error

Hi,
I am trying create an Interactive report and one of the column in it is an External link. The interactive report some what looks like this.
# Name Link
1 Same www.google.com
2 Sven www.yahoo.com
3 Bobs www.gmail.com
4 Anna www.msn.com
So i have Three Headers #, Name, Link.
Using Href i am able to make a link look like URL. But when i click on the link it either opens a new tab with same application page or it asks me to log in again into the application.
Please advise me if there is a way to handle this.
Thanks,
Pan

When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version

With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

Please advise me if there is a way to handle this.Post your report query, the Link column Display Type, and Link Column Column Link properties.
