Hovering web overlays on smoothscroll pages?

Hi there
I was wondering if anyone knew of any way to make hovering web overlays?
For example - the way that websites have a back to top button when scrolling large amounts of copy etc
This would be interesting and any advice/comments/ideas are most welcome!
Thanks!
Tim

I can't find the article that really outlines it well, but yeah place the stuff that you want to stay on the screen at all times in another indesign doc, specifically the next article in the issue. have that stuff hang off the left side and it should (assuming adobe hasnt patched the bug) show up in the previous article, always stuck to the same spot on the page when you scroll. edit: found it!
Place the button on the next article (on the right side of the article where you want your button).
Move the button to the left, beside the page (imagine the article where it should be on the left of it).
Group it with a blank rectangle that's on the page.
Place your button on every page of the second article, otherwise you see it only when that article is on the firts page (place it on the masterpage). That article must be a fixed scrolling article.
This works perfect.

Multiple web content overlays on a page

I'm using Edge to make some vector animations--3 separate infographics--in my DPS publication. I'm placing them all on one single page, but only the first animation that is tapped by the user "plays" all the way through like it should. That is, once I tap and successfully play one animation, I try a second animation, but it loads but doesn't play.
Is there some limitation on the number of web overlays--or HTML5 animations--that can be on a page?
For background on my workflow, my organization doesn't yet have a DPS subscription. We are simply building folios with CS6 and testing with our accounts on the iPad with the newest Viewer (23).
thanks,
Scott

We are having the same problem here. It's seems to be related with the iOS 6 update. We have two iPads, one with the updated software (iOS 6) and the other without it (iOS 5). Both of these have been updated with the new Adobe Content Viewer. The one with the old iOS works perfectly (HTML, Edge Animation, Videos) but the other with the most-up-to-date software does not. The HTML doesn't play and some times plays it once. We even tried by adding it to the HTMLResource folder to be trigger by a button to open a new window by itself, but no joy. Again we don’t have any of these problems on the iPad without the current software update. They all work perfectly
Please advise since most users have upgraded their iPads and iPhones.
Thanks,

Linking between different web overlays

Hi,
I'm working on a folio that has one article consisting of several pages with web overlays. Each overlay has the complete size of the the folio document (2048x1536px, optimized for iPad3), but the included html file is twice as wide (4096x1536px), so that the user can swipe horizontally within this overlay. This works fine. Now, is it possible in DPS to link from one html file in an overlay to a specific anchor of another html file in a web overlay (so that for example, the user can jump to the second half of the next page)? Maybe via Javascript, setting cookies etc. ("navto://" only navigates to a certain page)?
Any help would be great.
Thank you,
Alex

I've tried a whole bunch of things (setting variables, putting in links with an anchor reference ect.). Unfortunately, it seems you can't transfer any parameters from one web overlay to another.

Retna Renditions & Web Overlays

We have a problem with one of our issues currently in Newsstand when viewed on an iOS6 enabled iPad3. It's in a native folio (2048x1536) and has a full page HTML "scratch off" web overlay. The code uses native image assests. Just to let you know this particular page is at native dimensions too and not scaled up. Worked fine before but since iOS6 the web overlay (from top left) now appears 4 times larger cropping off 3/4's off the cover. We have an SD version (1024x768) of this folio in Newsstand and the "scratch off" web overlay works fine. The code for each of these is the same, the only difference is that one source file uses SD assets and the other uses HD. I'm at a loss here. It seems suspicious that the retina image is being amplifed to the power of 4 even when it's on a retina device!

Hi Mr Christian
yeah, def not iOS6 I've been having this error for many months, and it was initially quite hard to get Adobe to understand the problem. I noticed the problem most repeatably with a flip action (think of a coin flipping front to back) I was testing out alternate layouts so in one indesign doc had an SD and HD page for both iPad and iPhone, all assets were created specifically for the different devices. Any way the files were sent to Adobe and they have confirm the bug, and are looking into it.
For now I have just created the assets at a higher ppi and leave the folio size at the SD size, and for what I'm doing at the moment quality is OK. I had hoped that may be something would change with safari/webkit whatever in iOS6 and that would fix the problem, but from your results, obviously not!
Wouldn't it be good to have access to the bug list, so we can be kept up to speed with current issues!
P.S I am also seeing differences in web views between iOS5 and iOS6 but where the web view works perfectly in iOS6 but not in iOS5, this is one of my tilt html scripts in a web view. I think there could be inconsistencies with how well certain html scripts work in web views, especially if you think how inconsistent they are in Android

Multiple overlays on a page. Image sequence not working...

Hello,
I made a page with - in order of appearance (and layers) - a static background, 2 separate HTML5 web overlays and an image sequence overlay (containing 36 transparant PNGs).
The web overlays work fine, but somehow I cannot get the image sequence to auto-play. It works when I use tap to play, but I would really like it to auto-start.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? All content is on separate layers. All image sequence images are numbered. I've tried to play with the delay (all overlays starting at the same time, all different, you name it...).
Hope someone has the solution.

Hi!
Exactly my problem (thankfully). But this thread went nowhere …
I am still experiencing these difficulties, 14 months later.
Has this been resolved? Are overlays like these not possible?
Cheers

Opening a web overlay frame via button press (and closing it again)

Hi all
Is the following possible:
Push a button
A web content overlay window opens, displaying the web-based content within the frame (in this case, a URL pasted in from a google mobile search result). This window is smaller than the normal page size, so around 200 x 550px
Push the same button to close it, returning the page to the original state
The web content overlay launches automatically, but there's no 'hidden until triggered' option, as per the button panel.
I don't want the reader to have to 'leave' the app and go to the relevant full page browser via the folio (or Safari).
Many thanks
Martyn

So there is no way to restrict the readerd access to the 'second' page, so it's only accessible via the button tha triggers the web overlay? Do the other apps you mention have the same issue - that the user can reach the duplicate page just by navigating as normal.
Anyway, I'm using the button method as suggested, made two pages etc. I've created the button, and made it jump to the other duplicate page, only problem is that the new page 'swipes' in, very quickly, which kind of negates the pop-up effect of using a web overlay window. Is there any way to make the duplicate page appear instantly over the old page (without pushing in from the bottom)?
Thanks

Best way to handle web overlay?

I'm trying to come up with a good solution for building a text input frame("box") on top of a layout with a Web Overlay.
When a user presses "Submit," I'd like to navigate the user to another page (ideally by an iFrame window pop-up, and removing the Web Overlay.)
When a user presses "Cancel," I'd like to delete the Web Overlay entirely, as it may be covering a functional part of the layout, which the user will otherwise be unable to interact with.
I'm fairly certain neither of these behaviors can be done, but I wanted to double-check that someone isn't familiar with a solution.
It seems as though I cannot use adobeDPS.dialogService.open(navtoURL); in a Web Overlay (including AdobeLibraryAPI.min.js) which is rather disappointing, if true. My only option then is to add a custom-designed iFrame, which is incredibly kludgy, and on the cancel tap, removing the body of the page, but the overlay is still obstructing part of the underlying page, and subsequently any interactable elements.

Try to explore abstract schema type.

Web overlay password screen

Hi,
I'm looking at adding a web content overlay as the first page in my single edition app.
The overlay will include a simple PHP or ASP.NET login screen hosted externally, the idea is to password protect the content of the app.
How I envisage it working would be:
1. Someone will download the app from iTune
2. When they open the app the first screen will be the web overlay screen with the password field
3. Only certain people will have the password, when entered it will take you to the content
Would this work? If so has anyone tried and submitted for distribution via iTunes.
Thanks in advance
Wayne.

This really isn't going to work well or reliably. There are too many ways in our UI to navigate to other pages, you have no guantee that somoene couldn't skip past that first page to get to other content in your folio.

CRM WEB UI log in page images and text

Hi Experts,
At Login page of WEB UI, I want to remove the image of u201CSap net weaver sap Web Application serveru201D
I want to remove the warning message: No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a passwordu201D And I want to remove Copyright 2002-2005 SAP AG All Rights Reserved and SAP logo Image
After giving login credentials on CRM WEB UI log in page, next page redirect to existing login users list, here also I want remove the same kind of text and images which I mentioned above.
F2 key is not working to get the technical details of the page. Please suggest me where to do all these things.
Thanks
Chand

Hi Chand...
Have a look at...
Change configuation of username password screen (logon screen)
Go to SICF hit F8 Choose the service /default_host/sap/crm_logon
Display the details. Click on the tab Error Pages, then tab logon errors
Choose the configuration button next to "System Logon".
You should be able to make all your adjustments there.
Which URL are you using to access the webclient? If you aren't using the crm_logon alias and are using the direct URL, then the setting needs to be made there instead.
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/crm_logon or
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/crm_ui_frame
The path crm_logon is an alias to the second url. If you use the alias, then you need to configure the logon data on alias path, if you use the crm_ui_frame then you configure it there.

"One or more field types are not installed properly" when I try to add a second discussion board web part to a page

I have a SharePoint 2010 site with two discussion boards. I added one additional field to each of the boards: a lookup to another list to link the discussions to individual projects. I need 2 different boards because they have different posting permissions
(one is open to all for comments, and one is open only to the project team to post but everyone can read).
When I go to the pages for each of the discussion boards, they work fine.
But I'm putting together a page for individual projects, and want to have web parts for both discussion boards on the same page, showing the discussions related to the selected project.
I am able to add one of the discussion boards to a web part in the page, but when I add the second discussion board to the page, the new web part contains:
One or more field types are not installed properly. Go to the list settings page to delete these fields.
Correlation ID: blah blah blah
I've searched for similar postings, but mostly I see this error message related to migration from 2007 to 2010 -- this is not the case here: I created both discussion boards, and the whole site, in SP 2010. I've also found this message related
to coding errors using SPQuery. I am not doing any coding here, just using the built-in SharePoint 2010 Edit Page -> add a web part -> select the discussion list. I tried doing it from SPD with the same result.

I figured it out. I was using ?FilterField1=fieldname&FilterValue1=value on the URL to the page to pick out one project number. The web part I was trying to add was for a list that did not have that particular fieldname. I didn't realize that would matter
since I was using the Connections -> Get Filter Values From to get my filter values from the main web part, which does have that fieldname.
I added a field with that fieldname to the other list and set a workflow to copy the lookup value of the project number lookup field into the new field. Now all is working fine. Sorry for the wild geese in my original question.

Updating List View Web Part property in page

I have a List View web part (In the page > Add web part > App > document library name). I need to update the TitleUrl property of this web part through C# code.
The SaveChanges() method below works for my visual web parts, but not for the List view webpart. I get an error saying: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation
webpartManager = myPage.GetLimitedWebPartManager(System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope.Shared);webPart.TitleUrl = titleURL;webpartManager.SaveChanges(webPart);
I did a casting as below
XsltListViewWebPart listViewWebPart = (XsltListViewWebPart)webPart;listViewWebPart.TitleUrl = titleURL;webpartManager.SaveChanges(listViewWebPart);
(Please note that casting to ListViewWebpart instead of the XsltListViewWebpart gives a invalid cast exception, which is the reason why I cast it to XsltListViewWebpart)
But I get the error at SaveChanges() method.

Tried casting back as below
webpartManager.SaveChanges((System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart)listViewWebPart)
but still the error at SaveChange() is there.
AllowUnsafeUpdates is set to true within this block and code runs in elevated privileges.

Hi Ahamed,
According to your description, there is an issue when you try to update the TitleUrl property of a List View Web Part.
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you do as the followings:
1. Debug your code step by step and make sure every object and variable is valid.
2. Here is a code snippet about update web part property programmatically:
SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web;
SPFile file = web.GetFile(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString());
SPLimitedWebPartManager manager = file.GetLimitedWebPartManager(PersonalizationScope.User);
System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart webPart = manager.WebParts[this.ID];
((UpdateMeWebPart)webPart).Message = “Test”;
try
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
manager.SaveChanges(webPart);
finally
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
Here is a detailed article for your reference:

How to show property bag values of site collection in web part on landing page in sharepoint online?

How to show property bag values of site collection in web part on landing page in sharepoint online - office 365?

You can use JavaScript Client object model to read the property bag values. Example:
function getWebProperty() {
var ctx = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = ctx.get_site().get_rootWeb();
this.props = web.get_allProperties();
ctx.load(web);
ctx.load(this.props); //need to load the properties explicitly
ctx.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, gotProperty), Function.createDelegate(this, failedGettingProperty));
function gotProperty() {
var myPropBag = this.props;
alert(myPropBag.get_fieldValues()["allowdesigner"]); //returns the value of the key allowdesigner
function failedGettingProperty(args, sender)
//handle errors here

How to add the Note board web part to a page with powershell

Hi everyone,
I've been looking around everywhere but haven't seen it explicitly mentioned.
Does anyone know how to add the Note Board web part to a Team Site page, e.g. Non-publishing site, Left Zone, First webpart in the zone in powershell?
Examples like this one http://adicodes.com/adding-web-part-to-page-with-powershell/ only talk about custom web parts uploaded from a local drive.
The example here looks good - http://spcrew.com/blogs/lists/posts/post.aspx?id=21 but is it for the Page Viewer Web Part. How would you go about getting the correct name for the note board web part and configuring it?
Many Thanks,
Ashley

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add the Note board web part to a page with PowerShell.
The name of the Note Board web part is SocialCommentWebPart.
I recommend to use the powershell code below:
$pageUrl="http://sitename/SitePages/test.aspx"
$SiteURL="http://sitename"
$site = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($SiteURL)
$web=$site.OpenWeb()
$webpartmanager=$web.GetLimitedWebPartManager($pageUrl, [System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope]::Shared)
$webpart = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.SocialCommentWebPart
$webpart.title="Note Board"
$webpartmanager.AddWebPart($webpart, "MiddleZone", 0);
$web.Close()
Then the Note board web part will be added to the page.

Can I add additional link to "Other links" section of TFS web access home hub page

Hi,
Is it possible to add additional links to Other link section of TFS web access home hub page?
Thanks in advance,
Hazeq.

>Do you see any issues if I modify this page? What will happen when TFS updates happens, there are no issue in these scenarios? Currently
I have TFS 2013 with update 4.
I didn't see any issue. but when you need to upgrade your tfs, your website also need to be upgrade.
so I think the code you made will disappear.
>Can I also use Jquery over here? How should I add jquery library reference?
sure, you can do everything you want with jquery. just copy it into the sub-folder and reference it.
!!!Backup your website before you update the code.
