Hyperlinks for ePub

Hi Adobe forum,
I have a very long document with thousands of hyperlinks and email address. Almost all of which don't start with http://. When I convert them automatically, it doesn't add the http:// and I have to do it manually which is very time consuming. When I export the document to ePub I get errors for every single hyperlink. Does someone have a good fix for this?
Thanks,
Tara

If my memory serves me right, the InDesign’s “Convert URLs to hyperlinks” feature creates “shared” hyperlinks. That’s why they don’t work after exporting to ePub. I wrote a number of scripts for this task. Last year I was working on a big project on “converting” old printed books to ePub & HTML format.
Here is a script that may come in handy to you. Check out also the hyperlink section on this page.

Create hyperlink for reply to in mail body while sending email.

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we need to create an hyperlink for reply to in the mail body.
We have implemented entire functionality using CL_BCS classes and everything is working fine.
Only problem we have is when we give document type as HTM instead of RAW then entire formatting of mail body gets disturbed although we get the hyperlink.
Is there any way where we can send the mail in html format using CL_BCS,CL_DOCUMENT_BCS ?
KR Jaideep,

Hi ,
Please find the code below I am using to make the hyperlink. Do I need to fill the entire mail body using HTML Tags ? If yes, then I guess it will increase the complexity of program as the mail content will vary from one mail to another depending upon whether different invoice documents have text maintained in them.
lwa_text = '<html>'.
    APPEND lwa_text TO li_text.
    CLEAR lwa_text.
    lwa_text = '<body>'.

Hyperlink for an Object need to be open in a different window

Hi Guyz,
I have a Crystal Report which has few sub reports. In one of the Sub Report I have created a Hyperlink for an object using the formula Editor. This report is viewed from a different Portal with the help of ASP Pages. For some reason when I run the report and click on the Hyperlink, it is opening in the same window.
I want the report to be opened in a different window. Following is the formula I am using as a Hyperlink in formula Editor.
imgAddress = "http://<server>:8080/index.jsp?action=filter&username=anonymous&password=1&"
imgAddress = imgAddress + "&drawer=Invoices&folder=" + "&tab=" + trim({stp_AC290;1.INVOICE})
In the ASP page i am using a DHTML Viewer. Sometimes when I am using ActiveXviewer it is opening as expected.
crystal Reports version: Crystal Reports 2008
BO - BOXI 3.1
Plz help me out!!

same as your other post:
moved to .NET Developer forum.
It appears you are using ASP, it's no longer supported in CR 2008 but can you clarify which SDK you are using?
Thank you
Don

Hyperlinks for Nigel's page work in iWeb but not in Safari. Why?

In iWeb, the hyperlinks for my NIGEL page all work. They work to and from the main U.B.R.O.L. page. They work to and from the other few people in the U.B.R.O.L. group.
However, these very same hyperlinks for Nigel do NOT work.
What should I do? I am careful with clearing cache.
Lorna in Southern California

Well, happily, I figured this one out all by myself. The hyperlinks were not working because I had placed them in the Navbar. I had placed them in the Navbar because I had opted to not have those three pages in the Navbar and also I opted to not even show the Navbar on those three pages.
Well, I discovered by many trials and errors that putting hyperlinked boxes in the Navbar, even when nothing else is there, is a bad idea worth losing.
When I lowered the hyperlinks into the regular text field, the hyperlinks worked both on my desktop and in Safari.
Of course, that left me with a bare Navbar to contend with so I decided to put the Navbar back in, but without showing those three pages for Nigel, Helen, or Vali.

Hyperlink for DMS

Hi,
I have to create a hyperlink for DMS document No. How can I do this.
I was told this can be done by calling transaction CV03N, but not sure to do this. Please help.

I have used the following code to implement this:
CLASS LCL_EVENT_RECEIVER DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS:       HANDLE_HOTSPOT_CLICK
                                         FOR EVENT HOTSPOT_CLICK OF CL_GUI_ALV_GRID IMPORTING E_COLUMN_ID.
ENDCLASS.
CLASS LCL_EVENT_RECEIVER IMPLEMENTATION.
METHOD HANDLE_HOTSPOT_CLICK.
    PERFORM MOUSE_CLICK USING E_COLUMN_ID.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
FORM MOUSE_CLICK USING E_COLUMN_ID TYPE LVC_S_COL.
SELECT SINGLE DOKAR FROM DRAW INTO T_DOKAR WHERE DOKNR = E_COLUMN_ID.
    SET PARAMETER ID : 'CV1' FIELD E_COLUMN_ID,
                        'CV2' FIELD T_DOKAR.
    call transaction 'CV03N' AND skip first screen.
ENDFORM.
I get the field name instead of the value in "E_COLUMN_ID", and therefore the "CALL TRANSACTION" fails.
what am I doing wrong, please help...

Creating a hyperlink for a subtopic within a topic.

Hello,
I hope that this question does not confuse anyone but here it is! I have created a topic in Robohelp 8 with various sub-topics that describe the topic.
My desire is to create hyperlinks for the sub-topics after the intro to the sub-topics listed under the Topic. This would eliminate the user from having to scoll down the topic page to find the applicable sub-topics to review.
Does anyone know how to do this, Robohelp only shows hyperlinks to web addresses, email, FTP, and files?
For example: I would like to show the below sub-topics with hyperlinks to the sub-topics under the topic (Using Search).

Hi Wendy
What you would need to do using Jennifer's approach would be to insert a list as she has shown at the top of the page and link explicitly to the bookmark farther down the page. Sure, the users won't see the bookmarks. You would need to repeat the text just before the content.
RoboHelp 8 introduces a feature you may wish to use. It is called a "Mini-TOC Placeholder". So you would create these sections and assign a Heading Level to the first line of each section. Then insert the Mini-TOC at the top of the page. This will do a similar thing by presenting links pointing to content farther down the page. Functionally, it will look and behave identically to what Jennifer proposed, but will be much simpler to create because you don't have to type the text used for the links and you don't have to create the bookmarks and you don't have to establish the links. The placeholder handles all that for you.
Cheers... Rick

How do I import an index into Indesign for epub and keep the links live?

What is the best way to import a subject index (the indexer uses skyindex, and has an option to output index links to indesign para numbers), but he currently provides a word file for import into Indesign 5.5 with dead page numbers. We need to retain that for print publishing, but change the index numbers for epub, to links in both directions. Whats the best way to tackle this? I hope someone out there has done this!

Page numbers do not exist in epub.

Scrollable Frame solution for EPUB Fixed Layout

Hi,
I have found a solution (or, rather a hack) which allows us to create scrolling frames for EPUB Fixed Layouts.
You can find the exported EPUB, as well as my InDesign file on my Dropbox: EPUB scroll.
This solution has some weak points and has only been tested in iBooks on an iPad with iOS 8, but here's how it works:
Create two text frames (one as big as your text requires, and one which will be the container [tip: make the container a bit wider than the text frame])
Cut the big text frame, select the smaller container frame, and Edit->Paste into
Right click on the container, select Object Export Options, choose EPUB and HTML and enter "subchapter" as epub:type:
Open a text editor and create a new CSS file. For CSS code, see below
Export as Fixed layout EPUB. In the export dialog box, select the CSS tab and add the previously created CSS file
Done!
CSS code:
div[*|type = "subchapter"] {
position: relative;
div[*|type = "subchapter"] > div {
overflow: auto;
As you see, steps 1 and 2 are essentialy the same as for creating a scrollable frame folio overlay.
It’s not perfect, and this solution is just a proof-of-concept, but it should get you going.
An obvious problem is that we use basic HTML scrollbar, which is not being displayed in e-book readers such as iBooks on the iPad. Hence, the user has now idea how long the scrollable content stretches. This could probably be solved with a more complex, JS-based solution.
Also, the gradient feather at the bottom (which is intended to create a "fade-out effect) seems not to export well. This one should be easy to solve, placing another rectangle with a gradient in it. But I’m not sure if transparency exports well, and haven’t tested it.
Feel free to use, and improve, this hack!
Thanks,
/Jacob

@Papo – then I would suggest not a scrollable frame, but an MSO you can click through showing the whole text.
1. Do some text frames the same size
2. Thread all the text frames to one story
3. Align the text frames
4. Make a MSO out of it:
The text frames are still threaded and text can easily flow between them.
5. Do some navigation buttons to control the MSO states:
"Go To First State", "Go To Next State", "Go To Previous State" etc.
Later you can change the text (add or remove, do different formatting) flowing in that story through the states.
A very flexible solution. Ok, it's not a scrollable frame, but something like that…
