Including a linked document in the Publish folder

I've been following discussions trying to understand the best way to include links to documents (Word, pdfs, etc.) and websites within my module.
With websites it seems simple, just enter the url and specifiy new window in the controls so users can get back from the website to the module. But with documents I'm confused. I read that I need to make sure the document is placed in the Publish folder so the link remains valid when the project is imported into an LMS. How do I make sure the document is placed in the Publish folder?
Do I import the document into the Captivate project? Do I Publish and then go back and move the document into the published folder?
I know this is likely a simple thing but never having done it I'm uncertain how to proceed and need help - thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan
Unfortunately I can't tell you how this is done if an LMS is in the picture. Perhaps Rod or Lilybiri or another author that plays in the LMS arena can shed light there.
But if you are simply placing the Captivate in a central location for folks to access, you just copy the document to the same folder. If you understand how to create relative addressing, you can establish a relative link, but it's generally easiest to simply ensure the document is in the same folder as the Captivate movie.

Is there a way to include a text document within the DVD?

I am using Encore CS5. I do a DVD series. For the latest installment, I have been asked to include a 17 page document which the user could print from their computer or view from their TV, and which the main menu of the DVD would link to.
Is this possible? I know I can include a text document on the disk,as part of DVD Rom materials, but I don't know if I can link to that via my DVD menu. Also, I don't think that would be viewable on a TV.
On the other hand, I could include stills of the document (as a slideshow perhaps?) on the DVD and link to that ection via my main menu, but then it wouldn't really be printable from computer, like a text document would be, right?
Anyone have any advice or anyone faced a similar challenge with including text materials as a menu option within a video DVD? (also to note, these are SD DVDs we are making, not blu ray)

The printable option is the ROM. Include a menu in the DVD that explains this.
You are correct, this can't be viewed on the computer. And yes, you can use a slideshow. Except that the text will be too tiny. The text will have to be formatted so that it is presented in reasonable chunks.
Do a short sample, burn, and test it on both a upscaling HD as well as a traditional set.

Create navigation iviews to show differents documents from the same folder

Does any body knows how can i create navigations iviews that show differents documents from the same folder? This is my situation i have a folder that include documents for diferents countries, i want create a navigation iview that show only the documents for Canada from this folder.

The only other option is to give user access using taxonomy. But it seems like a lot of extra work to keep documents in the same directory. anyway, here is the overview of steps:
1. create index (SA > System Configuration > Knowledge Mgmnt > Index Administration)
2. create categories within the taxonomy.
3. define Query on each category. (Content Management > Classification > Taxonomy Query Builder)
4. create property: property namespace, property group. (SA > System Configuration > Knowledge Mgmnt > Content Mgmnt > Global Services > Property Metadata)
5. <b>assign props to the docs.</b>
6. Schedule the crawler to create classification index.
7. classify docs so that docs actually go recide in the categories
<b>8. Create role, page and KM Navigation iViews for end user to browse the taxonomy instead of going directly to the repository.</b>
9. restrict permissions on the taxonomy for different user groups.

I am having the same problem I think. With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch. I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore. Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
, so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

I used "my documents" for the profile folder, I removed the profile and firefox asked if i want to remove its file, and it took ALL my file except a few, all my photographs etc, are these now unrecoverable? as they are not in the recycle bin

disaster, thanks firefox 1 year of photos lost

Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
I'm back to normal again.

Telling ID CS5 to seek a linked file in the current folder

For at least 5 years (and all the versions of ID), I've been unable to set up a link on text or a graphic that, when clicked, will open another PDF, because I want Acrobat Reader to look for the new PDF file in the same folder/directory as the current PDF.
For all those years, my workaround has been to create the PDF and then in Acrobat use the Link tool (Tools > Advanced Editing > Link Tool) to select a rectangle over the text or graphic and set up a link to the file in the current directory. When I do the link this way, then save the PDF, then move the PDF to a different computer, Acrobat Reader can find the file in the current directory, even though the explicit path in the link is to a directory that does not exist on this second computer.
So, today, I thought I'd see whether ID CS5 now sets up what I want. I selected some text, selected New Hyperlink from the Hyperlinks menu, told it I wanted to open a file. I have tried two seperate ways to describe the file, neither of which allows Acrobat Reader to correctly find the file:
I browsed to the file (mnd.pdf) in the current directory where both the x.indd file is and the x.pdf file will be. When I take the finished x.pdf file to a new computer and click on the link, Reader puts up an error it cannot find the file, and it names the explicit path from the first computer (which intentionally does not exist on the second computer).
I typed in ".\mnd.pdf" as the standard notation meaning to look in the current directory. In this case, Reader on the second computer does not put up an error, but no file opens. Basically, nothing happens when I click on the link (except for the warning asking me wheher I want to allow this operation).
Bottom line questions: How can I set up a link in ID CS5 that will always look for a file named "MND.pdf" and always in the same directory as the currently open PDF? I know I can make it happen in Acrobat 9, but it's inefficient to have to set up the link every time I re-create a PDF instead of once in the InDesign file.
Thanks,
John

Hi, Jongware,
It is a bug since CS4, agravated in CS5, because until CS3 it worked very well.
In fact, it worked through out a lot of pages. I think this was not created only to pages side-by-side but in fact to those articles that continued several pages ahead. So, in a magazine, when one has to break an article and continue this article in other page, one could (and still can) put a text frame in the of the first part of the article and type "Continue on [next page marker]". Then link this text frame with a new text frame on the page where the article continues, (on top of 2nd part of the article) and type "Continued from [previous page marker]".
This situation – where text frames are in the document pages – still works fine.
The problem is when this is a constant and you want to put it in master pages, and now it simply does't work. I mean, when every odd or even pages have both numbers. For me, it's a major problem, because several of my clients just love this!
Is anyone of Adobe reading this? Are you going to help us and fix this problem, please?...

Can you retrieve document from the output folder?

OK, this was a stupid thing to do, I know. But I'm hoping there is a solution.
I spent the past two days editing a 600+ page document that I produced using the Printed Documentation SSL. Unfortunately, I didn't copy it out of the output folder. This morning, I inadvertently started to run the same SSL, but cancelled before it had a chance to generate. Too late. The "Clearing Output Folder" line already appeared in the log.
Is there a way to retrieve the file once RoboHelp "clears" it? At the moment, there is no file with that name in the output folder.
Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.

Hi there
I'm a simpleton at heart.
Before attempting to resort to installing another application, have you looked inside the Recycle Bin?
Cheers... Rick

Linking documents through the SDLC phases for audit & dependancy purposes

Hi,
I've got a unique requirement. I'm auditing documents through the SDLC phase and want to see documents stored under a particular phase linked to documents stored under another phase. Eg. Func req. 2 under the analyse phase is linked to form 10 under design
phase which is linked to tech spec 5 in build phase which is linked to test scenario 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Func req 2 --> form 10 --> tech spec 5 --> test scenario 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Is there any way to record these links so that I can see from an auditors point of view so that I can see all the dependancies between documents in a visual structure? Ie. a org chart type format but for documents?

Hi,
For this issue, I'm trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at it.
Thanks,

Is there a way to search for a specific keyword within the sites to which the bookmarks are linked? I need to search all linked sites in the bookmark folder without having to open each page and "find" manually.

Currently, I must browse through 50 or so bookmarked pages to see if a specific topic is covered. I would like to be able to search all bookmarked pages at once for a specific keyword. For example, if I have 50 news sites bookmarked and I would like to see which pages have the word "tuna" in them, I would need to open each page individually and do a "find". If I could search all of those pages at once, then I would save an immense amount of time. I have looked on the add-ons and found nothing...

1. Create a smart album and in the drop down in the top right corner select file status
2. Check mark the file status box and select 'Offline'
Now you should have all your 'Offline' (Yellow Exclamation and/or Red Slash) files.
To reconnect..
1. Select the missing files.
2. Go to File and scroll to Manage Referenced Files
The dialog box will have one of the photos selected
3. Select the drive and folder that contains the referenced file and select it
4. Click 'Reconnect All'
This might not reconnect all of them, but the dialog box will still be open and you can reconnect the ones left.

How do I restrict access by domain and the rest of the world to the documents in the public_html folder in iPlanet Portal Server?

Hello,
We have multiple domains configured in our iPlanet Portal Server 3 demo environment. In addition we are using the gateway.
In one of these domains the userTemplate.html file is tailored to display Macromedia Flash components at dynamic positions on the page. The logical home for these Flash components (since the portal software cannot find them if we simply store them in iwtDesktop) is somewhere below the /opt/SUNWips/public_html directory.
The problem is that once the file is stored here I can access it if I know the url (http://server:8080/file_path) without being authenticated in the domain.
The allow/deny url policy settings are specific to a domain and seem to have no affect on the rest of the world.
Any advice you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Joel,
If your intent is to block access to the doc root, you can probably use access control lists (acl) to prevent anyone from accessing the files stored under public_html. You can get more information about how to create ACLs from the following URL
http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/41/ag/esaccess.htm#1005439
You can even set up Basic Authentication for access to the direcory or ip based access or any which way you want. I've personally never blocked access to the doc root in portal, so I am not sure what the impact will be.
Hope this helps!

Links according to the folder where the file is?

I have this script that I found here on this forum and would like to change it so that when you execute it according to relink the file name
# target illustrator
linkReplacer function ( ) {
     var = orginalUIL app.userInteractionLevel ;
     app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS ;
     if ( app.documents.length == 0 ) {
          alert (' Please have an " Illustrator " document open before running this script . ' ) ;
          return;
     Else { }
          docRef = app.activeDocument ;
     defaultFolder var = new Folder ( ' ~ / Desktop ' ) ;
     psdFolder defaultFolder.selectDlg var = ( ' Please select the folder of your replacement files ');
     if ( psdFolder == null) return ;
     with ( docRef ) {
          placedFiles var = new Array ( ) ;
          for (var i = 0; i < placedItems.length : i + +) {
               placedFiles.push ( placedItems [i]. file.name );
          for (var j = 0 j < placedItems.length j + +) {
               var replace = new File ( psdFolder.fsName + '/' + placedFiles [ j ] ) ;
               if ( rePlace.exists ) {
                    placedItems [ j ] . file = Replace ;
               Else { }
                    alert ( 'File " ' + placedFiles [ j ] + " ' is missing ');
     app.userInteractionLevel = orginalUIL ;
linkReplacer ();
for example
filename > TESTE_0000_CLOSED_01
link contained in the file > TESTE_0000_INDEX
link contained in the file folder ( TESTE_0000_CLOSED_01 ) is TESTE_0000_INDEX_01
after running the file the link is > TESTE_0000_INDEX_01
I do not know if I was clear is complicated to explain
when run this script searches the linked item in the folder where it is saved, like that instead he relink the file contained in the folder under the file name

Hi,
Thanks for all the quick replies!
If I use Application.ExecutablePath I get:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Definicoes locais\App2\2.0\EG5PGYGH.6NX\.....\App.exe
I published the application in a Tools folder and I need to go up in the path to refer to other folders in the same directory as the Tools.
So I have a Directory named Application and folders inside: Tools (where I publish the application), SO, Acet, Others. As I will copy the application to another computer while maintaining the same folder structure I need to get the path till the Tools (with
or without the executable name).
Any other hint, please?
Thanks.

Include files/documents in the calender

I love my iPad, but to be able to use it fully as the single work-tool for meetings and stuff it should be possible to include files or documents in the calender (i e links to the files) so that everything is easily accesible from the calender when you arrive at the meeting. Then you would have the invitation in the calender, along with the notes and other documents. I really hope that´s a application in coming upgrades.
Anyone who know about an app that fixes that?

Your installer should be putting everything in the data folder you need. So it should be fine.

Photo album does not appear on the web but does in a published folder

**** everyone,
My problem is the following: I started to create little webpage with iweb. At the moment it just consist of a photo gallery, one blog entry and one video. To test it I published itto a folder on my hardisk and the website worked perfectly. So I uploaded it to my server (I have no .mac account). When opening the site over the internet the start page looks perfect, as well as the video page but on the album page the album doeas not appear!!!
The URL is: www.voyage64.com just click on "Photoalben" (it´s a german page) and there is just nothing, There should be an album which also appears in the page published to a folder on my harddrive.
Another thing that does not work is the blog. When you enter "blog" you will see the list with one entry listed, that works fine on the web but if you click on that entry it tells you that the file was not found on the server but it is there, this also works on the published folder on my hardrive. The confusing thing is: I´ve another website on my server with a blog with more entries that just works fine.
Maybe it´s something with the RSS because I tested other stuff and whenever the RSS logo is visible in the adressfield in the browser something does not work. I actually don´t need any of that RSS stuff but there is no way to disable that.
Maybe it´s a fault with my server but I´m not a specialist in stuff like that.
So thanks in advance for your replies,
kind regards,
David

Sending out Archive Link documents to Activity Partner

Dear all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to send out Archive Link documents to the Activity Partner by means of an action (+ condition), or does this need to be programmed, as it is not standard available? We have a PDF file that is placed on the Content Server and linked in the activity, and we need to send it by mail, fax, or print (according to the std. communication method of the activity partner) to the activity partner...
Thanks in advance!
