External url link

Hi
I have a standalone CAL application. I would like to have a
button which when the user clicks on it, it will open up a web
browser with url i.e.
http://www.bbc.co.uk
I tried to use the Internet Knowledge Objects > Launch
Default Browser
But when I run the CAL app, a window loads up asking for the
location of the web browser application.
Also I don't want to specify in advance what web browser, as
our enduser will probably have various ones. Can't it just open up
using the enduserd default web browser?
Thanks
Jon

just ignore the KO. Use one or other of these:-
JumpOutReturn("", "
http://www.bbc.co.uk")
or
GoToNetPage("
http://www.bbc.co.uk", "_blank")
I see Erik mentions appending the trailing slash "/" ... if
memory serves,
*either* it may fial if you leave of the slash, *or* it may
fail if you
include it. My gut agrees with Erik - add the slash :-)

How to add external URL link to SAP object (Purchase Order, Invoice, etc)

Hello,
Is there any function module /BAPI that allows me to add an external URL link to a existing Purchase Order
or Invoice document in R3 system?
I tried to debug the system but have not found no suitable function module for it.
I also analyzed the ABAP code of the small GUI window that allows to add a external URL link to
a Purchase Order, and found the function module SO_OBJECT_INSERT. However I could not debug
it (seems to be created with BOR objects) so I've no example for it.
Please help!
Regards,
Manuel Dias

Design-Time Data with external url linking

I have a data list here:
http://facetmedia.com/new/
In the portfolio section I would like to make links which are clickable for the portfolio items. I now know how to use Flex Builder to make external URL links for regular buttons. What I don't know is how to edit this data list to create external links. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi trancepriest,
First, if you haven't already, you probably want to read some of the other posts here about creating a URL link button. Once you've tried doing that and feel comfortable setting up a simple URL link in a test project, then you can move on to integrating this functionality into your list.
Now -- the rest depends on how the data is represented in your list. From some of your other posts here, it actually sounds like you're no longer using a list at all, but rather just a tall layout of hardcoded items set inside a scrolling viewport. If this is the case, you can just repeat the simple button creation you did above, placing all the buttons in the appropriate places in your tall layout (on top of / next to each distinct "item" in the layout).
If you're still using a Data List with a Repeated Item, then the initial setup will be a little bit more tricky, but it will save you time in the long run since you only have to set up one button (which will then be repeated for each item). Here's how:
Find the "dataProvider" tag in the code.
Inside that will be a series of "Object" tags listing your current list data. Add a new "url" attribute to each tag, e.g. url="http://www.adobe.com".
Edit the Repeated Item's definition (in the source code, find the itemRenderer attribute on the List tag and ctrl+click it).
Create your URL link button inside there. But -- instead of typing in the URL as a string in quotes (as seen in other examples in this forum), use data.url to refer to the url attribute you added in step 2.
Hope that helps!

External URL link in Request header page

Hi Experts,
I know that with transaction launcher in solman we can connect to external URL in navigation area, but I want to publish the same link within the Request header page, as a URL. Any thoughts ?
Thanks in advance.

Got it, by adding the below code in the GET_P_xxxx method of the attribute
CASE iv_property.
    WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_sortable.        "This column is not sortable
      rv_value = 'false'.                                   "#EC NOTEXT

How to create an external url link with my pdf in acrobat pro

I have no pb with adobe non pro to create an external web link which is connected to my pdf ( but internal link inside my pdf doesn't work ! ) , but I can't find in adobe pro, and further more I need to have inside my pdf another link which must be connected to a web site
Is there anyone to help a french guy ? Thanks to you

External URL links from T. Bird E mail program will not open in Firefox. Why not ?

I switched browsers from Opera to the latest Firefox. I open my Thunderbird email program, attempt to link to a newspaper article URL or a link to any other site and FireFox does not open. I'm using Windows XP(SP3), Thunderbird v.8.0 and Firefox 8.0.1. I've tried modifying the profile, i.e. deleting parent lock and mime types.rdf files, as suggested in various places, unchecking read only attributes in folders, etc. but nothing has effected a change.
No problems in opening links with my old browser.

In about:config, browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external is set at -1.
Yes, Firefox is already open when I click on the link embedded into an email message. If I copy and paste the link, it opens the web page with no problem. Also, if I right-click on the link in the email (usually embedded behind a button) and select "Open Link Behind Mail," it will also open the web page, however it does not jump to a Firefox window, I need to go there manually.
If Firefox is closed when I click on the link in the email message, the browser will open with the linked web page.
Here are all my browser.link.open settings:
browser.link.open_newwindow;3
browser.link.open_newwindow.disabled_in_fullscreen;true
browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external;-1
browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction;2

Archive Link and external URL Link

Hi,
we use Archive Link, NO own documents (like CV01N,..). We want to define different document types (oac2) and link them to via url to an external webserver, the user should see the doc in the normal attachment list.
Doc Typ    url
DOC1        http://www.xsfd.wer/show?...
DOC2        http://www.ssdfs.ver/show?
In oac0 (definition content rep) there is an subtyp called "URL", looks like it could be this kind of rep? All solutions and hints I found where based on DMS/KPRO not ArchiveLink. I don't want to use link to external Document via GOS.
Regards,
Christian

Dear all,
no, I found no solution to access automatically! And I was not able to find a definition of the "URL" Repository.
Best regards,
christian

Pa30 create external url link ( mass opload

Has anyone been able to upload multiple attachments from a spread sheet to this transaction. Obviously using the function upload. I think the function module that I will need to use is called BDS_BUSINESS_DOCUMENT_CREA_URL.
I have passed the following to the function module
classname bus1065
classtype bo
client 210
object_key personell_number 00080063
and in the next section I am creating a url.
When I run the function module it seems to be populating the trans pa30 with an attachment but it doesnt have a dynamic link and when you select an attachment you get an info message saying attachment link could not be uploaded.
Can anyone help with this issue, I will be grateful if you could send me some sample parameters to get the test of the function module working properly>?

External url link indicators

Is there a way to show an icon for URL items? I like the mime-type icons for documents (pdf, doc, etc) and I would like something similar for URLs.
Wikipedia, for example, has little box-arrow icons next to links to indicate that it's an external link and not to another wikipedia page.
Thanks.

Which version of portal are you using?
In 10.1.2 (and also 10.1.4 if you are not using an html content layout template in your item region), in the attributes for your item region, make sure you have the Item Type Icon selected as an attribute to display.
In 10.1.4, if you are using an html content layout template in your item region, make sure to include the substitution tag #ITEM.ITEMTYPEICON.VALUE# in your template.
Either of those will show the icon urlfile.gif when you publish a URL item. The image itself can be found in the portal's images directory on the web server.

External URL Link Into HTMLDB Application

Hi,
I have a non htmldb application that I want to link into my htmldb application via a url so I can run a report, in order to run this report I need to feed in some variables
This link i am using is
http://dev.oraclecorp.com/pls/aitmarvel/f?p=100:8:::::P8_REFRESH_HEADER_ID,P8_SR_NUMBER,P8_TARGET:82,3526357,ADMAT
The variables being
P8_REFRESH_HEADER_ID,P8_SR_NUMBER,P8_TARGET
in this case I want populated with
82,3526357,ADMAT
It goes through single sign on OK and then displays the correct page but the variables have been stripped off.
Any ideas??
Thanks ANDY

Hi,
are there any ideas out there to this question?
I am having exactly the same problem.
What I additionally noticed is that when you hit the link
for a second time, the parameters are passed fine.
It seems to work only when a htmldb session already exists for the application.
I am using "HTML DB as Partner Application".
I have a feeling this problem is more related to the
Single Sign On server...
Thx, Michael

External URL links not working in .exe

I have created a training programme using Adobe Captivate 7 which includes hyperlinks to websites and documents on a DVD Rom as a .exe
I have managed to open the documents, however the URL hyperlinks are not working. I have had these working in previous versions of Adobe Captivate without having to change any 'Global Settings'. The issue being that I can't expect all of the learners who take the course to change their Global settings when they use it.
How come this has changed in the new version?

I know you said you didn't need to set Flash Security in previous versions, but I've been using Captivate since version 1 and it's always worked this way for me. Only if you publish to HTM/SWF and launch from a web server can you use Open URL actions on external files without needing to configure Flash Security.
Check this page:

Link Webi Report to External URL using URL contained in Dim Object

I am trying to create a link in my WebI report to an external URL which is stored in a Dimension object.
The object is simply a string format which contains a link to a Lotus Notes database
Example:
Notes:///CA2573920000079B/0B4D8972EDD5DE7CCA257109000682B7/32250ACFEAF2B80FCA2573AB00831255
When I put the link into Internet Explorer I get the appropriate Lotus Notes databse, however, when trying the same in WebI using the following formula:
="<a href=[Notes url1] target='_blank'>Test</a>"
I get the following URL when clicking the link from InfoView
http://auyhoz04.an.orica.net:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/viewers/cdz_adv/[Notes%20url1]
If I hardcode the URL into WebI
="<a href='Notes:///CA2573920000079B/0B4D8972EDD5DE7CCA257109000682B7/32250ACFEAF2B80FCA2573AB00831255' target='_blank'>Test</a>"
It works without a problem.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple...is anyone able to help?

Nathan,
When you build a URL on the fly it requires a certain way to encapsulate everything. Here is another way for you to try it:
="<a href="+Char(34)+[Notes url1]+" target='_blank'>Test"+Char(34)+"</a>"
Plz note the use of Char(34) which generates a double-quote. This method should help you with getting a dynamic product delivered to your audience.
Thanks,
John

h:link / h:button - navigate to external URL's

Hi all,
Does anybody know if it's possible to use the new JSF 2.0 tags <h:link> and <h:button> to navigate to URL's outside the current application context?
Thank you very much!!
J.

That's one of those things I 'tried' - without success.
According to the spec, the outcome attribute refers to "+The logical outcome used to resolve a navigation case.+", which is not exactly an external URL neither.
Does that work in your environment?
Thx
J.

Link from BPF task to external url

Hi,
Is it possible to link to an external url from a BPF step? I have tried embedding in the content library, but the resolution is adequate.
Many thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,
From BPF, we cant open an external link. You can upload a link on content library and the content library can be opened through the BPF.
Hope this helps.

Link to external URL from flash site

Is there any way to link to an external URL from your flash
site without having the flashplayer prompt you to change your
settings and allow access to that page? (this only applies to swfs
viewed through a browser)
the only way around this i've found isn't very useful - you
have to put a small xml file on the host server where the page you
want to link to is located. i seriously doubt every site you want
to link to will allow you to put an xml file on their host server
just so you can link to their page. the code in the xml file just
tells flashplayer that the site you are trying to access is safe.
it's called crossdomain.xml
anyone have an answer?
thanks!

Answer
no it doesn't. getURL() causes no security issues unless you
try to open the html locally and (try to) access something on the
internet.
unless your "flash site" is your local computer there is no
security issue. if your local computer is an internet server, you
just need to set the security settings for your local file and give
it permission to access the internet zone.
