How to make links in dynamic text?

Hi All,
I need to know how to make links in dynamic text. I have
created a
table to hold the dynamic copy, and the copy is added through
a CMS page
that I created. This Admin page is accessed through a
browser, and I
don't know how to attach a link to selected text within a
browser. Can
anyone point the way? It's probably so easy I'll feel dumb.
Thanks,
Brett

The only other thing might be to use something like FCK (or
one of the many
others... ContentSeed, I think is one Murray mentions often)
for the CMS,
that would give an easier option for the end user. WebAssist
has an
FCK-based plug-in called iRite that can give a more
wordprocessing-like feel
to the field (i.e., they could just highlight the text and
then click a
button to add the link).

  • How to make links of non-text?

    Is it possible to create links out of things other than text?
    For example, I'd like to use some shapes as links (think stars on a map leading to other pages). Can that be done?

    John, I have been experiementing with a workaround with mixed results.
    Try creating your object and get it just the way you want it with text, color, etc. Then create a TEXT box. Put spaces in it and returns to get the box to the same size as your object. Then select all the spacing and use your LINK INSPECTOR to enable it as a hyperlink and link it to a BOOKMARK that you create elsewhere in your iBook (BOOKMARKS are only linked to text, so...). Make sure you remove the LINE bounding box on the text box if there's one. Then place that linked text box over the object on a top layer, select both, and GROUP them (or not) from the ARRANGE menu.
    Don't know if it will always work or not once it gets to the iPad but worth a shot.
    Summary:
    Create Object
    Create Text Box with only spaces
    Select all spaces in text box and link to pre-made bookmark
    Move text box on top of object in forward layer

  • Create a Link using Dynamic Text and Capture Variable

    I am building a dynamic website using Dreamweaver CS5 with Coldfusion 9
    Currently I have created a dynamic text table. The table is created by querying the Invoice table and displays the all the customers Invoices. The columns Include Invoice #, Date, Amount Paid, BalanceRemaining, Due Date. So basically lists all the invoices I have applied to the unique customer. It is pulled up using a session variable I created from the login page.
    My question is this I want to make the "Invoice #" linked so when you click on it it goes to a new page and performs a new query which retrieves infro related to that specific invoice such as Services Rendered, Service Description, Date, Price, Total. I was able to create a link to the Invoice # but I am stuck trying to figure out how to capture the Unique Invoice # and apply it to the new query. Is this possible if so how?
    Thanks for your help!

    Now keep in mind I am speaking strictly from a web and SQL standpoint as I have no experience with coldfusion.
    If you are able to create the link to the Invoice, I am perceiving this as the following:
    Invoice
    Links to
    #123
    page.php?invoice=123
    #345
    page.php?invoice=345
    If your page is setup like that then you already have the data stored in the browser request with the GET method.  In PHP the equivalent is the $_GET array.  I am assuming ColdFusion has a similar array to work with forms.  Then on your following page you obviously need to check that the visitor came from the prior page with the proper permissions to ensure that someone doesn't get the address page.php?invoice=### and just guesses through and views all invoices if they are not supposed to.  Then your query would look something like the following:
    SELECT * FROM invoice_table WHERE invoice_number = $_GET['invoice']
    Remember this in written in PHP so yours should be a similar equivalent.
    Hopefully this helps a little to get you going in the right direction.

  • How can i set the dynamic text box to show variable value?

    In AS2, I can make a dynamic text box set a var name, when i
    use button set/change the var value, this textbox can show the
    value also.
    but In AS3, dynamic text box can't add var name. than how can
    i do it now?

    Set an instance name for the dynamic textfield. Then, to
    populate the textfield with the value of a variable, use:
    textFieldInstanceName.text = variableName

  • How to make links different colors

    I can't figure out how to make one link a different. 

    You need to define a set of link states (link, visted, hover, active) for each ID or class name required.
    Let's say you want to have red links in your #header and white links in your #footer.
    CSS:
    #header a {text-decoration:none}
    #header a:link {color:red}     /**unvisited**/
    #header a:visited {color:gray} /**visited**/
    #header a:hover,               /**on mouse over**/
    #header a:active,              /**on click**/
    #header a:focus                /**on tab key**/
        {text-decoration:underline}
    #footer a {text-decoration:none}
    #footer a:link {color:white}
    #footer a:visited {color:yellow}
    #footer a:hover,
    #footer a:active,
    #footer a:focus 
        {text-decoration:underline}
    HTML:
    <div id="header">
    <a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
    <a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
    <a href="some-link.html">Link in the header</a> |
    </div>
    <div  id="footer">
    <a href="some-link.html">Footer link</a> |
    <a href="some-link.html">Footer link</a> |
    <a href="some-link.html">Footer link</a> |
    </div>

  • How to make a graph dynamic data driven? Plus some XML basics for Illustrator?

    I need to make some graphs that are linked to a series of data through XML files (originally Excel) and create an indvidual document for each data set. They will be used for the web and print. Please advise.

    Tis is what you can do you create say your chart or your data say in Excel and you export ast Tab Delineated Text.You can then import that data for a chart with the import chart feature it is the first icon on top of the chart data window then you can make the chart dynamic asa variable and capture the data set then import another chart's data as txt as you did before then capture that as a data set abnd so on if you have then ten data sets each one will correspond to the one you need you can name the data sets so you can easily call up the one you need.
    I never made a chart in excel or imported such data before a few minutes ago nor have I a=ever made a variable of a chart but this all works pretty reasonably.
    More advance than this I would have to experiement but you can export the variable libraries and open them in Illustrator and figure it out for a way to load or export the excel info so it opens as a chart in Illustratorbut Illustrators charts are kind of primitive so donot expect much without a script to help you.
    Perhaps you can figure out an actiopn toautomate the process?

    Is it possible to type on a path in Motion, so I can then animate the path and make a line of text look like it is smiling? Or any advice as how I can go about this?
    Thanks

    I have not watched the tutorial, but was going to post that I used a 3 point bezier open line shape that I keyframed into a smile, used that as the shape in a "Geometry" layout and it worked fine...
    It was a bit slow to render, but not too bad. Sorry I didn't keep it to post online...

  • How to make a form dynamic so that it displays different logos at runtime

    I am working on some assignment wherein I would like to make a form dynamic so that in it's designated image holder it displays different logos/pictures at run time? First of all is there such a possibility?? I am still very new to this forum and also trying to understand the logic/bindings/heirarchy etc. in LCD. Any input would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    LC 7 or 8 does not help load logs at runtime. However you can associate all your logs at design time and control their visibility property based on the events. This may help fulfill the requirements you have to an extent however adding number of images at design time will increase the size of the template.

  • How do make link between query and UDF

    How do you link a query to your UDF after you created the query and the UDF?
    Also do you have to set the UDF as type "general", and "link"?
    Please take me thru step?

    oh good - a discussion about whether to use "link" or "image" when having an image connected to a product!!!
    Billy and Suda - We had fun with this one some time ago in a project collecting additional data and images for the customer's products on the market.  As we were ramping up the project, we tried both ways of connecting an image to a product and there was a few drawbacks we found with using the UDF type of "General" and "Image":
    1.  The image was placed directly on the UDF portion on the Item Master - they were working in large TIFF (?) formats and the picture just looked horrible.  The approving manager could not tell if the image should be approved for press or not.  When he double-clicked on the image in the UDF portion it brought up another SAP window that wasn't quite crystal clear.
    2.  The image took up so much room on the UDF portion of the Item Master that the data entry personnel had to constantly scroll down to enter the other data points (color, size, branded promo, mixture, etc - there were about 12 fields).  Talk about being ticked!
    3.  While using the "General" and "Link" it addressed those concerns BUT there was one extra enormous advantage with this General/Link method.  When the image was brought up, it opened up the image automatically in a standard picture editor/manager program.  If they liked what they saw, they continued foward with the approval of the image for press runs.  If they did not like the image, they were able to manipulate the image at the moment and then follow through with approval (time saver for sure!).
    I am sure it all boils down to what the customer requirements are, but some other clients I demoed this to wanted to switch immediately after seeing that!  But definitely something to think about if you are planning on connecting an image to a product...
    Oh and she really is correct, Billy - I have never heard of anyone linking a query to a "link" or "image" type...I don' t know how you would even do that as the "link" or "image" selection leads you directly into the attachment and/or storage path and location...
    take care - Zal

  • How to specify "static" or "dynamic" text in Flash CS5?

    Hmmm. Things have moved in version CS5! How would I specify text as "static" or "dynamic"? Can't seem to find the selection in the Properties palette.
    Thanks-

    Should be right at the top of the properties panel. Make sure to select your text box first. Also, change TLF text to classic text.

  • How to make things other than text hyperlinks

    I was looking to make a group of pictures link to some bookmarks but have so far failed. While making a simple box then filling the background with an image, then filling the box with space characters and then selecting the spaces to link to a bookmark, works in iBook Author,
    it does not do so when I preview, or export to iTunes.
    I'm using an iPad 3/new ipad. Any help in creating images that act as hyperlinks would be grand!
    Also while some links work in landscape somehow the link gets messed up and no longer works in portrait orientation.
    I miss the days where you could run over to your apple store and have your questions answered, I thought maybe a genius would help, but alas this a new age and they don't know s**t
    In short, is the only way to link to bookmarks through simple text?

    See 'How to link an image' in iBA Tips and Tricks 01..
    As for portrait....layout in landscape, edit in portrait. Duplicate where needed to make portrait work as required.

  • How to display images in TextArea? and how to make some of the text clickab

    1) How do i make TextArea display images?
    (example a client program, where people chat, put :) and get a smily image)
    2) For example if text is http://www.something.com in textArea, a person can click it, and my custom dialog will apear saying something about this link.......

    This has been discussed very many times! It is solvable. Search the forum!
    one way is to make a custom textarea extending Canvas, and painting the text in the paint() method. You need a paint method with drawString and drawImage calles to make it the way you describe it. You also need to add a MouseListener for detection of clicking.
