How to use relative paths in Captivate 8 / Cómo usar URL's relativas en Captivate 8

Hello, I have developed a bunch of courses which will be migrated to a new site and I am having trouble changing the absolute paths into relative URL's to resources such as PDF files inserted into the scorm packages. I cannot find information on how to use relative paths in Captivate. Please help. Thank you.

I have the same issue with relative links using Captivate 8. I am trying to load Captivate modules into an LMS using relative links to document files within the LMS. The links work fine during a site page test so not an issue in the LMS, but from the Captivate module they aren't working....
Help?

Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ?

Can any one suggest me how can I use relative path inside SSIS pacakge to access config file ? Please help me as its urgent.THanks for your help in advance.

Hi Jay,
SSIS can only recognize the absolute path of a XML Configuration file, the relative path is not supported. Furthermore, if the XML Configuration file is already generated, we can use the Environment variable package configuration type instead so that
SSIS runtime automatically looks for the configuration file from the path defined in the environment variable. This is convenient when we need to deploy a package to different environment. We only need to define the environment variable for package configurations
once on each server, and then the variable can be used by all the packages on this server.

Issues with using relative links in Captivate 8

Is anyone else having issues with using relative links in Captivate 8? These links all used to work in the previous version of Captivate. And I could have sworn this was fixed already once in Captivate 8 but it's popping up again for us. Here is the situation... We have courses that are made up of multiple lessons which as separate Captivate files. Within those lessons are buttons to link to external documents (which live in a shared document folder), demonstrations, etc. We use relative links because we post these to our amazon servers and we also sell them to clients where they can post them on their own web servers or in their LMS. SO we can't put in full paths for the links or we'd have to change them constantly. So an example is that the link for a button might be "../Document/nameofdoc.pdf" This would be going to a user guide or something that is posted in the "Document" folder that lives at the same level as the lesson's folder. But now, all of the sudden, none of our bazillion links is working. And I've tried buttons, hyperlinks, and even the old click box. Nothing works with relative links. And I did check the permissions on every file and folder on our Amazon server to verify nothing changed there as well. Any suggestions?

I have the same issue with relative links using Captivate 8. I am trying to load Captivate modules into an LMS using relative links to document files within the LMS. The links work fine during a site page test so not an issue in the LMS, but from the Captivate module they aren't working....

Using Relative Path instead of Full Path OMBPlus

Can we use relative paths in OMBPlus scripts instead of full paths. For example all my OMBplus (tcl) scripts are in folder;
C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg
and the MDX file I would like to deploy is in
C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg\scripts\dwextract\tables
but when I try to use
OMBIMPORT MDL_FILE '../scripts/dwextract/tables/$tblName.mdx'
instead of
OMBIMPORT MDL_FILE 'C:/tfsroot2/Interfaces and Extracts/branches/Interfaces and Extracts1.1/000 - OWB Prototype/deploy/ora.stg/scripts/dwextract/tables/$tblName.mdx'
It does not work.
I use
call "C:\OraHome_1\owb\bin\win32\OMBPlus.bat" "C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg\OMB_DEPLOY_TBL.tcl" XTRCT_WRK_INPUT_FILE
in order to execute.
I think it is because It set the OMBPlus.bat location is a base folder. Any way to overcome this issue and use relative paths instead of the full path?

OK, a couple of things. First, you need to remember that TCL treats back-slashes as an escape character. Always use forward slashes in your paths, or double up the back slashes .
So, this should work:
CD "C:\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg"
call OMBPlus.bat "C:\\tfsroot2\\Interfaces and Extracts\\branches\\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\\000 - OWB Prototype\\deploy\\ora.stg\\OMB_DEPLOY_TBL.tcl" XTRCT_WRK_INPUT_FILEor this:
CD "C\tfsroot2\Interfaces and Extracts\branches\Interfaces and Extracts1.1\000 - OWB Prototype\deploy\ora.stg"
call OMBPlus.bat "C:/tfsroot2/Interfaces and Extracts/branches/Interfaces and Extracts1.1/000 - OWB Prototype/deploy/ora.stg/OMB_DEPLOY_TBL.tcl" XTRCT_WRK_INPUT_FILEAs an FYI for OMB, if you are prone to doing a lot of scripts and so building libraries of common functions, you can also easilly use the "file" command in order to determine the current directory at runtime so you can plunk your script anywhere with it's required libraries and it will be able to source them at runtime.
For example, all our scripts have this basic bit of code at the beginning so we can pass them between developers and it doesn't matter where anyone put their script directory - the scripts will find the libraries as long as they are co-located:
# Get Current Directory and time
set dtstmp     [ clock format [clock seconds] -format {%Y%m%d_%H%M}]
set scrpt      [ file split [file root [info script]]]
set scriptDir [ file dirname [info script]]
set scriptName [ lindex $scrpt [expr [llength $scrpt]-1]]
set cnfg_lib "$scriptDir/ombplus_config.tcl"
set owb_lib "$scriptDir/omb_library.tcl"
set sql_lib "$scriptDir/omb_sql_library.tcl"
# Import Lbraries
#      Assumes that owb_config, omb_library, and omb_sql_library are in the same directory as this
#      script.
#get config file
if [catch { set retstr [ source $cnfg_lib ] } errmsg] {
   puts "**********************************************************************"
   puts "* Libraries are missing from the current directory. Exiting.... *"
   puts "**********************************************************************"
   return -code 2
#get standard library
source $owb_lib
source $sql_lib
# Set Logfile
#    This will overwrite anything set in the config file.
set LOG_PATH "$scriptDir/logs"
file mkdir $LOG_PATH
set    SPOOLFILE ""
append SPOOLFILE $LOG_PATH "/log_" $scriptName "_" $tabName "_" $dtstmp ".txt"
# Now the main script body goes from here.Cheers,
Mike

Why cant I use relative paths in Netbeans

Why cant I use relative paths in Netbeans to files on my PC.
I want to be able to copy my project folder between different drives and pcs dont want to edit the code everytime I do.
BTW I didnt know where on the forum to post this. Just in case this is the wrong place.

When I use relative paths it doesnt see the files. Like when I want to add an image to a panel. If I use '../image.jpg' it wont work but if I use 'd:\javafiles\images\image.jpg\ it will work.
Cant seem to fix it.

Can't use relative paths in jsp pages or javabeans

Hi everyone,
Can someone please help me with this little problem.
When I want to use in a JSP page the object 'FileReadInput' to read in a file, it can't find when I only give the filename. The target file and source file are in the same directory so I would expect if I only give the filename, it will automatically search in the current directory. But when I give the complete absolute path, everything works fine. Is it possible to use relative paths in a jsp or javabean file?
By the way, I am working with JDeveloper from Oracle. (maybe that has something to do with my problem)
Can someone help me???
Thx

My dear friend,
It will not work at all. coz, for any jsp file, ur application server will create a .java file and then .class file in a directory other than the directory where ur .jsp file present. that's why, ur file to be read can't be found. that's why use the following.
String path=getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRealPath("/")+File.seperator+"yourfilename";

Menu using relative paths

Hi, I have flash menu all using relative paths to the html
files. I also have some files in a separate folder for
organization. I add the folder paths to get to the html files
within the folder, but when I get into that folders file, i cant
get back out. If I add ../ to the other files, it of course brings
me out, but cant get to the other files. I hope that makes sense,
Should I just use absolute paths?
file.html
/folder/file.html
otherfile.html
thanks,
Josh

absolute would probably work best.
When a link brings you into a folder (/folder/file.html), if
the same set of links is there and you click a link that is
supposed to bring you to home (index.html), it tries to open
(/folder/index.html), not index.html. Make sense?
Thanks,
Josh

How to use relative output paths?

Hi, I am on AE CS6.
I want to render to a relative path, always.
So, let us say I have project c:\documentary\foo.aep, I want the output file(s) name to be c:\documentary\rendered\foo.avi
Likewise, working with another project, like c:\weddings\maria-and-john\mariajohn.aep, I want After Effects to automatically set this up for me up c:\weddings\maria-and-john\rendered\mariajohn.avi
I miss a property like [projectFolder] so that I can create a custom output template.
Am I missing something here?
Tia

Ok, thanks!
I will probably never upgrade, so that opportunity is lost..
If anyone know hos to write an extension, or a script for After Effects that can help me out here, I am all ears. I am a programmer, that is my profession, so I could do it myself. But is someone sees this, and knows a little about AE scripting and especially scrpting fore rendering, I am very interested in learning this!

Use Relative Path for Photoshop Action?

I have a Photoshop Action that is programmed to open an existing file located in a specific directory. The path to this directory is an absolute path, i.e.:
C:\Program Files\Photoshop Actions\filename.jpg
As long as the Action can find the file in the specified absolute path, everything works fine.
My problem is that if someone tries to run this Action on a different computer (like a Mac), the path specified in the action does not exist and the Action will not work.
The simple solution to this would be to make the action open the file located at a relative path. This way no matter what computer the action is run on, it will always be able to find the file.
Unfortunately, I don't think Photoshop Actions allow relative paths. Does anyone know if using a relative path in an action is possible?
Failing this, how would I use a Photoshop Script to somehow direct the Action to find the correct location of the file? Or is there a better solution?

The idea that I use in the xtools installer and else where is this:
1) Convert the action file to XML.
2) Package the XML file and the apps/ActionFileFromXML script with your stuff.
3) An installer script will do a 'replace' (or whatever) on the XML file so that the paths are converted to whatever is needed.
4) The new XML is saved and then converted to a .atn file which is then loaded.
There is an xtools forum at ps-scripts.com that may have some info in addition to the PDF file that comes with the package.

Using relative path for in file/ftp adapter

Hi All,
How to have a relative path for file/ ftp adapter's inbound/outbound operation?
Example: Consider $ORA_HOME = /home/oracle --> This environment variable can be different on different machines
i want to drop a file in to $ORA_HOME/folder1/folder2 (Or poll for a file).
<partnerLinkBinding name="FTP">
<property name="wsdlLocation">FTP.wsdl</property>
<property name="out_dir" type="LogicalDirectory">What do i write here???</property>
<property name="retryInterval">60</property>
</partnerLinkBinding>
if i cant configure this in partner link section or in activation agent sction, how else do i achieve this?
i am using 10.1.3.* version.
Thanks in advance.
Roshan.

You can achive it using the deployment scripts if the directory is changing on the basis of the environment
If you want to change at run time than you can use the jca properties to set using the variables at runtime.

How to specify relative path for background image in xsl

Hi,
I am generating a PDF from Apcahe FOP. I have an xsl for that, in the xsl fo:block I am displaying a background image. When the image path is absolute like..C:\image\logo.png it works fine. But I want to have the image in my WebContent\images folder and my xsl file is in WebContent\xsls folder. So when I try giving the relative path as ../images/logo.png, the image is not displayed.
Can anyone tell how to do this???
Thanks,
Sanjeev.

I have a fo:block like this :
<fo:block border-style="solid" border-width="0.2pt" text-align="left"
                         background-image="url('http://localhost:8080/Project/images/table_header_center.png')"
                         font-size="8pt" font-weight="bold" color="white" padding-top="1pt"
                         padding-bottom="1pt">
                         <xsl:value-of select="tr/td/span" />
                    </fo:block>In the above code you can see that the the background-image="url('http://localhost:8080/Project/images/table_header_center.png')"
has been given as absolute. The images folder is in my WebContent directory. I want this path to be relative to the context of my application , something like background-image="url('../images/table_header_center.png')".
Thanks.

How to use relative DSN filename for connection (in Design mode)

Hello,
I connect Crystal Reports to Oracle database via ODBC with connection information stored in DSN file.
I use "Crystal Reports Basic" in Visual Studio 2008 SP1. CR has no SP. Windows XP Pro SP3, my development machine.
I created a DSN file, and in Database Expert I'm creating a new ODBC connection and trying to fill the File DSN.
But, the file name is absolute, and I need to use file name relative to the report file, because I want several programmers and several reports to share the connection parameters. This would also simplify the deployment.
When I try to copy the DSN file to the solution folder and use just the relative path, then a error is reported:
Logon failed.
Details: HY000 General Error: Invalid file DSN
which probably means that the file could not be found.
This problem does not exist in runtime, as the connection string could be set programmaticaly.
Does Crystal Reports accept relative DNS file name?
If does not, are there any other possibilites to achieve this?

If still an issue post your question the .NET SDK forum.

External casts not using relative paths when protect movie

We make educational software using Director - the basic form
of the software is a stub movie projector with a load of protected
movies in a series of folders and sub folders - shared resources
are located in external casts within the folder hierarchy but not
necessarily within the same folder as the movie - this has worked
fine for ages. Navigation between movies is working fine, but..
..some of the movies are looking for external casts at their
original locations (absolute paths) rather than relative to the
movie file, so I can't port the project to another computer/
release the software without getting the error messages. Even when
I recreate the movies from scratch and link up the external casts,
I am getting the same result, almost as if the dir to dxr process
is not switching the movies from absolute paths to relative
paths..??
Any ideas appreciated!

Hi,
If I understand the problem correctly, I see two ways of going forward:
1. Hard code the entire URL.
2. Calculate the correct URL with JavaScript. I have a JS function for that on: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/blog/2012/08/03/get-relative-link-project-root
