How to make smb:// links open directly in Finder?

Hello,
When I click on an afp or ftp link (such as ftp://abcd.defg.com/xyz/ or afp://mac.local/xyz/), in my emails (Eudora), the request is transmitted to the Finder, and I end up with a window opened in the /xyz/ folder.
This is the case because the email client is informed to do so with these links.
However, when I click on an smb:// link (to reach a folder on a PC), then Safari is chosen be default, and can't do much more than opening a window with an error message, of course.
When I try to change this, the email client asks for a program to do smb (Finder I suppose), but then, Finder is a strange software. It is there:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app
But when I try to tell Eudora to take is as the app for smb:// links, its icon is grayed, looking like a document and not an app (when all other apps are recognised as such).
How can I solve this?
It would be VERY usefull for my co-workers to be able to go directly to an smb mount from their email message.
Thank you,

Rick,
Sorry about the misgiving adresses, folders and access rights. My question is not about these three (they were just here to tell the story). You're perfectly right to say that in a local network, there's not need to complete the full IP or ".com" name of the PCs (even if it works all the same).
When I said "of course" for the perms, it was just to mean, in the same way, that it's not this kind of problems here.
My question is much more a human/mac graphic interface problem than a network problem. I want the people (as well as myself) to be able to go in a folder on the pc network with a simple click on an smb link in an email message (as they do now on an ftp or afp link).
Thanks for the bother,

How to make a link open up a mobile app?

I have a mobile website and I would like the links to social medias to open up the associated app rather than a url in a browser.
For example, when I click the link to my facebook page, how can i get it to open up the facebook app?
Thank you

Following URL's should work for in iOS for FB - http://iphonedevtools.com/?p=302.
For eg. fb://feed would open up the installed Facebook app in your iPhone and will take you to your News feed page.
Simiarly, try these links for Twitter - http://handleopenurl.com/scheme/twitter.

How to make a link open in another frame in RH 7?

Hello! In RoboHelp 7 I am doing a prototype for my work group using framesets. We want a navigation pane on the left side of every topic. I have learned how to create framesets and set the left and right frames to different topics. I cannot find information anywhere on how to do one thing. One, how do I set the links in the left navigation frame to open in the right (main) frame? Sounds like a simple thing, but I can't figure out how. Also, is it true that a person cannot see the code to the frameset? I can't find a way to do that, either. Thanks for anyone's help!

Hi there
When you created your Frameset you likely gave each frame a name. This part is very important and I'm not sure RoboHelp would even allow you to create the Frameset without naming each frame.
So when you create your links, you target the Frame by clicking the drop-down and choosing the frame name.

How to make web links open larger in firefox

Firefox is my default internet. IGoogle is my home page. I have XPWindows. I recently had Firefox put in and use that as my default internet connection. When I click on a web page, it does not fill my screen - there's anywhere from 2 to 4 inches of white on each side of the web page. With my old default page, it filled the entire screen. How do I make it fill the whole screen?

Hello,
Have you tried [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages|Firefox's zoom feature]]? This will help increase the size of web pages.
* To make things bigger, press '''Ctrl''' and '''&#43''' at the same time.
* To make things smaller, press '''Ctrl''' and '''-''' at the same time.
* To reset the size back to normal, press '''Ctrl''' and '''0''' at the same time.
You can also use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. add-on to change the default zoom level for all websites at once. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
'''Using NoSquint:'''
#After installing NoSquint, make sure you have the Add-on Bar displayed:
#*Right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
#Click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
#*You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but it's not recommended that you go higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
Please let us know if this helped you!
Thank you.

The tab: how to make web links open in Firefox cannot be deleted only closed each time I log into my browser....

The above tab cannot be deleted, it comes back each time I log in.

You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Make every link open in a new tab?

How to make every link open in a new tab?

Hello Sammy90
first be sure that you have the next 2 options in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] :
* '''browser.link.open_newwindow''' = 3
* '''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction''' = 2
to check that :
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# in the search field type(or copy paste from here) '''browser.link.open_newwindow'''
# if the value is 3, you are ok, otherwise double-click on it and change the value to 3, click OK to save it
do the same with '''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction''', remember we need 2 as value.
'''now''' do the same with '''browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external''' and '''change''' the value to '''3''' (it is -1 by default).
probably you are OK now.
thank you

How to make email link with a button with AC2 in flash cs3?

How to make email link with a button with AC2 in flash cs3?
I wrote this, but it does not work:
btn_emailinfo.on (release) {
getURL("mailto:"[email protected]");
}

I am guessing you put that on a frame?
If so, the syntax is as follows:
btn_emailinfo.onRelease = function(){
getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
Though, if you are placing it directly on the button itself,
the syntax is:
on(release){
getURL("mailto:[email protected]");
}

Link to an external URL image? In AS 2 the code is
'getURL("putaddresshere")' and in AS 3 it's 'navigateToURL("")' ...
If it's a simple image, it's easier just to import it to the
stage, save it as a symbol, put it in a timeline frame and then
code your link so on click or rollover it goes
'gotoAndPlay(framenumber)'.

How to make a link in textflow that send parameters to a function?

How to make a link in textflow that send parameters to a function?

In the examples included with the weekly builds there is a CustomLinkEventHandler.as example. Passing parameters would be done in the CustomClickHandler function. You could attach the parameters to the LinkElement as user styles using the setStyle API.
Hope that helps,

Look my page for you to understand my problem www.ionio.gr/~aleksgeor

It looks like you have taken a behavior from the Library Palette and hard coded it to suit your needs. This was unnecessary. Instead try the following behaviors attached to buttons that take you between movies - assuming they are in the same directory:
on mouseUp me
gotoNetMovie("@/part1.dcr#test1")
end
on mouseUp me
gotoNetMovie("@/test.dcr#Intro")
end
Also, you should Shockwave-compress your files to DCR (see the Publish Settings) in order to make your movies as small as possible so they download quickly

Make Mailto links open in gmail from Safari

Any way to make mailto links open in gmail web interface. I don't want to install google's gmail notification thing. Has anyone got a script or bookmarklet or something?

Hi,
If you are reluctant to go down the route of stand-alone application wrappers, I think your best bet is probably a Greasemonkey script of some sort. You will need to install SIMBL followed by GreaseKit. And while not all Greasemonkey scripts will work with GreaseKit due to differences between FireFox and Safari's JavaScript engines, you'll probably be able to find a few that will do the job, e.g. Mailto Compose In Gmail.
It's not an ideal solution, but hopefully it should handle all mailto links originating from Safari.
