Hyperlinks issues on iweb

I have created a hyperlink and have altered the colour to make it stand out on the web, however, whenever i ckeck the website the hyperlinks are still in the default colours. why are the adjusted colours that i have used not showing up?

Make sure you empty your browser cache before visiting the published page tobe able to see the changes. In Safari do - Option/Command/E
It helps if you publish the URL to a problem page!

Photo file issues with iWeb and Aperture....also too much duplicating!!

A little background, before I get into my iWeb issue.....
Years ago I tried iPhoto, but I didn't like how it duplicated all my photo files and I wasn't very fond of the file structure it created. Years later (last month) I got Aperture. Aperture (still has a long way to go) also duplicates all your files and places them in their own file structure. If I can get along with Aperture (and if it will get along with my other programs), I won't mind putting all my files into the file structure it creates. But for now, I still have my original files in the original file structure I have had for many years as a back up.
On to my issue with iWeb and Aperture....
To add photos to iWeb, you can either go into the iWeb media center or you can drag and drop photos from other locations.
1st: iWeb media center
To get my photos into the media center, I would have to load them into iPhoto (iP 6 does allow you to keep your original file structure, but it still creates .jpg files, which fills up your hard-drive. More duplicates I don't need or want). So that is out for me. iP6 will let you view and use your Raw files.
Another way is to drag and drop your file structure directly into the media center window. I don't think this duplicates any files (at least I haven't been able to find any), but it takes an awfully long time to thumbnail all your photos (several hours and still waiting for 22K + files). Also, it won't show any Raw files. Again, out for me.
Aperture won't let you drag and drop its library into the media center at all. So if I was to move all my files into the Aperture Library, I wouldn't be able to access them for iWeb at all.....Out for me.
2nd: Drag and Drop
I was able to drag and drop Raw files directly into iWeb from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom.
As I said before, I am trying to move over to Aperture. However, Aperture won't let me drag and drop photos. What is the deal here??? These are both Apple programs and they won't play nice with each other. Very annoying.
Anyway, I put a link below to my iWeb test webpage I made. All the photos were Raw files that I did a drag and drop from C1 Pro, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. There were no problems with the publishing.

So, does anyone know if they can get photos from Aperture to work?? Thanks for any responses.

Jedi,
Perhaps you are right.
I am not a web developer and I will never be. I don't feel like spending countless hours learning how to use Dreamweaver or some other Pro web app. iWeb looked like a way to start making websites of my photos for my friends and family (much easier and better than Home Page on .Mac). All I was asking was for a way to drag and drop my photos (especially Raw files) with Aperture. Which I can do with Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and C1 Pro, and without using iPhoto.
I am not a Pro photographer either, but I purchased Aperture based on what was advertised on the Apple website. From that ad, Aperture fit my photo needs almost to a tee. I am looking to adjust Raw files, Crop, Archive and keep my use of Hard Disk space down to a minimum. I can use Photoshop for the other 5% of things I do. However, Aperture has some issues (if you own it, then you already know. If you don't, you can read the Aperture Forum) This is one of the reasons I never went to iPhoto for archiving. I didn't like the way it duplicated all my files, taking up more disk space and its file structure. So even though Aperture won't play nice with other programs, I was surprised that it wouldn't play nice with any Apple programs.
After reading your post and based on what you are saying, everyone either needs to have/learn/use Pro apps only or have/learn/use iApps only. Don't Cross the Streams!!
I guess that means Apple will need to fix DVD Studio Pro. It uses photos that are in your iPhoto library and music from iTunes (iApps in a Pro app??....for shame...."it was never intended"). Also, DVD SP won't read the Aperture library. Does that mean there are 3 platforms? Pro, iApp and Mediocre??
Now I have 2 questions:
1. Can someone please tell me which apps are Pro and iApp, or if there is Mediocre? I don't want to mix them up and "Cross the Streams".
2. Again....is there anyway to use Aperture with iWeb?
TIA,
Narvon

IWeb File-Hyperlink issue

Hi,
i want to create a File Hyperlink (the file is a .pdf-file). When I upload the file to the server and try the hyplerlink online it does not work. Anybody the same experience?
All other Hyperlinks I use work except the File-Hyperlinks! There is just 1 File-Hyperlink which works but I really do not know why!
Thanks!

Hi, Welcome to the forums.
Are you physically uploading the file yourself? If so does the location where you upload it to match the URL of the link.
iWeb should automatically upload any file you link to on your Mac, I have a tutorial on my site:

Hyperlink weirdness in iWeb 1.1.2

I'm having a strange issue (well, at least I think it is) and am hoping someone might know what I'm doing wrong or why it won't work.
On my main/home page, my background image is one jpeg consisting of 9 squares of art (3 across x 3 rows). Before, I had the entire background image as a hyperlink and that worked fine but it forced the viewing to only be able to click on one thing. What I wanted to do was make each individual square a link to go to one of the nine other pages. So, I made a box in the SHAPES tool, using no fill and no border and clicked enable as hyperlink and referred to the appropriate iWeb page. Sound good in theory... but when I publish the page, there are no links — none of the 9 boxes acts as a link at all and I can't figure it out!
I initially thought that maybe the links were buried (behind the background jpeg) so I used the FORWARD button to make sure all the clear overlay boxes were on top of the background image and for good measure, I pushed the background image backward. But still no luck! Any thoughts or suggestions?
One unrelated matter, when renaming a page or site in iWeb, when it's published the URL is full of '%20%' everywhere there's a space. Anyone know if this is corrected in iWeb '08 or '09???

Yes, it's corrected. The following is from the iWeb '08 Help viewer:
Browsers convert spaces in page names to “%20.” To avoid these symbols, iWeb places an underscore when the page name or site name includes a space.
You should also avoid non-Roman characters; many get converted to numbers when you publish.

Hyperlinks to files iWeb 09

I am trying to set up hyperlinks to pdf files on my computer using iWeb09.
When I select the text for the hyperlink and go to the inspector and link to the file "application.pdf" the text on the web page changes to the file name. Is that what is supposed to happen? It's not what I want to happen.
How do I link to 'application.pdf' without changing the text? I'm probably missing something simple here but I've looked at some of the tutorials etc. on the web and can't find what I'm looking for. I did not use iWeb 08 so don't know if this operation worked properly or not.

In line with iWeb's policy of introducing simple drag and drop icons for widgets, most of the links on my latest site to PDFs and applications etc make use of icons.
This avoids the issue of me having to think about the text link and my viewers straining their brains by having to read them!
I wonder what all the empty spaces are for in the widgets section of the media slide out.
Do you think that one day we may get something useful like a contact form?
It didn't take me long to get over the thrill of being able to take photos of my myself grinning foolishly and have them appear instantly on my webpage courtesy of the iSight Photo widget.

Hyperlink issue in Smartform PDF

Hi All,
I am facing below issue with Smartform after it converted to PDF. The PDF file has below link
(http://www.vocakiri.co.uk/_assets/media/StandardTC3_(including_REG_31_Requirements).pdf) in footer window.
But when i am selecting the hyperlink it is getting truncated as "http://www.vocakiri.co.uk/_assets/media/StandardTC3_" .it opens window with truncated
web address which leads to error.
could you please let me know what is the problem or is there any note need to be applied.
Thanks and Regards,
Prasanna B

Hi Prasanna B,
See thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/1819587.
You can try using the callback method described in the following Notes:
622718 - SF Web Forms: Callback for the URL format
707931 - Web Forms: Incorrect URL address with the HTML output
You can get a different title of the link by using a kind of user exit for the URL processing, which is described in Note 622718.
You must create your own function module with the following interface:
*" CHANGING
*" REFERENCE(DATA) TYPE TTXCTOKEN
Data: i_data type STXCTOKEN,
(see note 622718; TTXCTOKEN is an internal table of type STXCTOKEN)
Now when you call the function module of the Smart Form, you should fill the parameter OUTPUT_OPTIONS-URLCALL with the name of the new function module. As a result your function module is called, when the URL is processed by the Smart Forms composer.
This method allows you to use a shorter alias for a longer URL link.
Regards,
Aidan

Image hyperlink issues in PDF creation using Acrobat 9.0

Hi All,
I am using Acrobat 9.0 Professional for creating a PDF of a web site hosted on my local IIS server. All the web pages contain:
           1. A single large image and some description text.
           2. Few hyperlinks mapped to the various areas/locations of the image. The hyperlink is visible when user moves the mouse cursor to that specific area/location on the image.
These hyperlinks work correctly when the web page is viewed in any browser but when the web site is converted to PDF, we observed the following problems with the image hyperlinks:
     1. The hyperlink area (rectangular) on the image is shifted from its original position.
     2. The hyperlink area (rectangular) on the image grows bigger than its original size.
(The original position and size here means the position and size of the hyperlink as on the web page respectively).
Surprisingly these issues do not occur if a PDF is generated of the same web site using Acrobat 8.1.0 Professional.
I searched the Adobe website for any service pack/updates that could resolve this issue in Acrobat 9.0 Professional but could not find any.
I will be really thankful for any help provided.
Regards,
Santosh.

In my case it's with .puz files, which are crossword puzzle files used by sites like the New York Times and read by the application AcrossLite. I went into preferences and tried to change the action for the file type from "Save File" to AcrossLite but it would not take. Set it instead to "Always Ask" and then in the dialogue box selected AcrossLite and "always do this" and it gave an unknown error.
This is FF 4 on a Mac.

Hyperlink issue in PDF

Hi Folks,
I am crashing my head under this issue but no luck.
I had some hyperlinks in my indesign CS5 document which have a shared folder destination for hyperlinks in page items. Now if I tried to jump to destination from Indesign document it directs me at correct folder so far so good but as I export this document to PDF and in PDF if I try to click on the link it directs me at browser and obviously alerted that URL not found.
Is there is some work around to fix this discrepancy or this a bug of Indesign CS5.
Thanks
Mac

Thanks for quick reply,
I've patched my Indesign to latest patch. Hyperlinks destination is in folder itself not prompting to open any file (e.g. \\\\tewaveserver\\source).
while opening in Acrobat, It addes the path PDF file is saved (e.g. /C/productpdf\\tewaveserver\source) where "/C/productpdf" is the path where PDF is saved.
I saw one relative thread to forum and unchecked the option in PDF preferences->internet->Display PDF in browser. though it stoped now browsing link in internet but still not opening respective folder also.

Strange issue with iWeb site, please help

Hi everyone,
Until recently, I've been keeping an iWeb blog of my time in India. Nothing too complicated, just stories and photo albums. However, recently something strange has happened, and the website is no longer displaying correctly. It looks fine in iWeb, and when I publish it in a folder and open it locally, everything is fine. However, after uploading it to my hosting provider, it looks like this:
http://www.egbertopreis.nl/India/
(screenshot of what it looks like here: http://egbertopreis.nl/website_screenshot.PNG )
This is a screenshot from iWeb of what it should look like: http://www.egbertopreis.nl/iWeb_screenshot.png
I'm using the 'darkroom' theme, but as you can see, something is clearly wrong. It is not displaying the menu correctly, the layout looks strange and it isn't loading any of the articles. The other pages are accessible if you navigate there directly, but there you have the same problem.
It looks like, for some reason, the CSS and javascript elements cannot be loaded, although I have no idea why this might be the case. They are all just static files, and it worked fine until about a week ago.
Although I'm an IT professional, I have literally no idea what could cause a problem like this. I went with iWeb because I wanted to use an 'easy' solution and not over-engineer something for once
Usually what I'd do in a situation like this, is just purge the whole site and re-upload it. However, since I'm traveling around, I don't have fast internet access anywhere and the site is now so large that it would take forever to completely re-upload. This is also the reason why I can't troubleshoot it properly myself...
Any help (or even words of encouragement :-)) whatsoever would be extremely welcome. Thanks in advance!
Message was edited by: Heliode
Edit: Forgot to mention what I already tried myself;
- deleted the HTML and XML files and let iWeb do 'publish changes'. Everything was re-uploadeded, but issue remained.
- Deleted the 'Scripts' folder on the remote host, and manually re-uploaded from locally published folder. No effect.
- Tried randomly changing layout items in the hope that any potentially corrupted files might be overwritten after publishing. No effect.

Hi Roddy, thanks for your reply. It wasn't just me though; a lot of other people from back also reported the same issue. I was also getting the same thing from behind a wired connection. You can still see and experience the issue yourself if you look here.
I've since 'resolved' the issue by getting a .Mac trial account. A friend helped me move the whole blog over there, where the site works as it is supposed to:
http://web.me.com/eggmeister/India/
Therefore the issue has to be with the hosting. Right now I'm suspecting it might be some obscure configuration issue with the hosting company's server. Maybe something like too low a setting for Apache's 'MAX REQUESTS'. This might cause issues with all the javascript going on in the iWeb pages, loading elements back and forth. I'm in contact with the hosting provider, and will let you know what I find. Might be useful for future reference.

IE issue with iWeb site

1) Images don't load
2) in IE 8 : HTML email snippet does not show up
How can this be resolved?

IE Scolling/Lag issues with IWeb Published Site

Has anyone had any issues with scrolling/lag with Internet Explorer on an iWeb published site? I have a site that runs great on Firefox and safari but terrible on Internet Explorer. I'm thinking it may be the template/design i used?
Anyone every seen this? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
JC

I've only ever used the Modern Frame, so I can't say if there would be a performance issue using a different template. I have about three pictures on each page.
I noticed on your site that you're using the "reflection" effect on some of your pictures. Just for the purpose of testing, perhaps you could try turning off that effect and then re-uploading your site to see if that is causing some of the problem? I believe the reflection is rendered using javascript code, which may be causing the poor performance in IE. If that does turn out to be the problem, you can decide whether it's worth it to keep the effect or not.
By the way, I don't get that same error message in IE when I open your Videos page. Maybe it's caused by a security setting in your IE being set at a more restrictive level?

Hyperlink issues in Converted Project

I've just recently upgraded to RoboHELP Version 8 to get a better results on the the full text search in WebHelp (the output of our choice). The conversion appeared to go great and I've been happily working away on new content.
As our developer is still changing screen names etc in the development cycle of a new product, I have been using variables for all screen names so that I only need to change the value in one place when they come up with yet another U-beaut name for the screen. Quite often I would also insert a hyperlink over the variable to another topic.
Unfortunately, when I had to revisit one of my existing topics I've found that any hyperlink that has been inserted on top of a variable in a table or drop-down seems to have been lost. This means that nearly 75% of my hyperlinking has gone west!
Has anyone else experienced problems in this area? I did try searching to problems with Version 8 which brought to light a couple of other little issues that I'll keep an eye on but couldn't see any queries about variables and hyperlinks.
Regards from sunny Brisbane (Queensland, Australia).

Hi Kathy
Indeed sometimes working with variables can seem pesky!
My initial thought pattern upon reading your issue was that RoboHelp 8 supports formatted variables. This means that your variable may contain a hyperlink. w00t!! Then I had a big ole Homer Simpson style D'OH! moment and smacked myself on the forehead as it occurred to me that if you did that, it would certainly work and preserve the hyperlink but ALL instances of the variable would share the same link destination. And that's likely not the case, eh?
I just tested this action with my version 8 and found that RoboHelp HTML seemed to work fine to place a hyperlink over a variable. I closed the topic and reopened and it left things intact. I closed the project and reopened and it left things intact.
Naturally this causes questions to be begged:
How exactly are you creating the links?
How exactly are you testing to see that the links are failing?
Cheers... Rick

Hyperlink issue CS6

Hi all,
i need help! hoping someone out there can assist. I am working in CS6 on a PC. I've been creating files with active hyperlinks in Indesign, and then making pdfs from these. Up until yesterday, these were all working fine. Here's what happened yesterday... my company replaced my hard drive completely. Last friday I was having general issues, so they formatted a whole new drive for me and swapped it out yesterday, rebuilding my profiles etc. Now for some reason, none of the links work in ANY of the files I created previously (and there are a LOT)... and when I go into the Indesign files the hyperlinks are showing broken and have basically disappeared in the links panel... I'm not quite sure what has happened, but I know it's something with my machine or settings, because when I copy the items with the links out of another file that someone else created (that works fine) and place them in MY indesign document and then try to create a pdf again, the links mysteriously don't work again. Has anyone seen this happen or have any ideas??? I've tried looking into my preferences but they seem fine. Our IT Dept. does not know anything about the software itself. I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Thank you in advance.

I don't want to sound diplomatic but honestly I have no idea when the fix will be rolled out for this bug.
I know that engineering team is working on it and the bug is under review.
The workaround for now suggested by them over the bug is :-
""The current workaround for the same could be to use the Panel to enter the URL and not the Hyperlink Dialog.That is if we write the URL in the URL field available in the Panel and hit return to apply the URL this problem does not occur.This problem only occurs if we Open the Hyperlink Dialog to apply the URL ""
Would appreciate if you bear a bit longer.

Hyperlink issue in FCKEditor

Hi all,
I have this requirement of creating a framework for an application without the actual contents in the pages. I am using FCKEditor in all regions so that at a later point, we could enter the contents. I do this by creating a Text Area item & displaying it a HTML Standard Editor. The issue now is that hyperlink functionality doesnot work. I believe there is an issue with uploading images. Please let me know if there is a workaround to resolve this at the earliest.
Thanks in advance

Hi Mohammad,
There should be navigation defined for this. Check the get_p method of the attribute where you have hyper link. At the same method you will see the event name for fp_onclick property.
In the event which you got from get_p method there has to be navigation logic written to navigate to other view. See whats happening there which may help you to move forward.
