Inspector-Hyperlink-An External Page = a Relative URL?

I'm on iWeb '08 and have a question that I simply can't find an answer too despite searching many failed searches.
I'm using iWeb to publish to a folder, so that I can later ftp the finished site.
In my site, I want to add a hyperlink to an external URL, however the URL: box seems to only allow absolute url's to be entered after selecting Link To: An External Page.
Is that right? Am I missing something?
How do I create a hyperlink with a relative URL?
Thanks in advance,
JPS

I don't understand what you mean by relative url?
To create a hyperlink to an external page, click on Inspector in iWeb and then click on Hyperlink. When in Hyperlink click on 'link to an external page' and then type in the url that you want to link to and you can also have it open as a new page.
Not sure what else you are trying to do?

IWeb 09 photo album loses hyperlinks to external pages

I have an album of images on my site and have hyperlinked the image caption text to open videos on external pages. This always worked fine in iWeb 08, in fact the images themselves on the main album page automatically became hyperlinked, which was cool. Upgraded to 09 and published (fortunately on a temporary site and not my live site), and now whether you click on the image or the text nothing happens. If you click on an enlarged image it just forwards to the next image.
Am using Transmit to upload, uploading to my site hosted on machighway, not mobileme.
Links work fine and open when I'm in iWeb. Tried dragging the index file to the browser and the links don't work, so obviously the problem is with iWeb 09. So my request to Apple--give us a "revert/undo" command that will take our imported docs and application back to the earlier version of software while you debug AFTER product launch. I really really hope this is fixed soon with a new version because my clients expect me to upgrade my site monthly and I'm dead in the water now until Apple fixes this.

I'm right there with you, and echo bjaquez's post. I've been frustrated by the situation. Been working (2) trials/options; create an album and try to hyperlink, and create a page and try to hyperlink. First, let me give some history.
I have about 140 photos of books to put on my site's Publications Page; plan is to hyperlink each book photo to the site where it can be purchased (external link). I reviewed the import options the Help menu provides for bringing all the photos into iWeb; one option open the Media Icon at the bottom tool bar. I found the photos in my iPhoto section, selected & imported. The issue here is it imports all photos, stacked on top of each other. When I attempt to spread them out and down the new page, iWeb will not let me scroll down the page any further, even when I've expanded the rows, columns, spacing, etc.
Option 2 was to prep the photos in iPhoto, then export to iWeb as a new page. That worked great, all photos carried over, etc.
Now, regardless of how I do it, when I open the Inspector, the Hyperlink "enable" is grayed out. It will not allow me to hyperlink the photos.
I'm definitely not a Mac guru, but pretty stoked how much I've learned this past year. I think the inability to hyperlink on an Album page makes sense in some weird way (maybe it's not weird and I've got it right, anyone can let me know) because I noticed once you click on a photo, it blows up in size so you can do a slide show or see the next photo. So, I'm thinking this would override a Hyperlink ability, or if it did Hyperlink, it would override the ability to blow up the size of the photo.
So, my next thought is to tackle this from creating a new page and dragging the photos over one by one and hyperlink.
Any feedback is helpful. Is it twisted to be frustrated, but intrigued at the same time as I feel like a sleuth trying to solve the crime

Hyperlink! -external page

I have been trying to make an iTunes link from my iWeb home page, but I haven't been successful.
Every time I paste the link which I got from "iTunes Link Maker" at http://www.apple.com/itunes/linkmaker
the link in inspector URL automatically changes to http://livepage.apple.com and takes you to apple
and keeps reverting back to livepage.apple.
What could be done about this???
Any suggestions, solutions and help are really appreciated!!!

If you are trying to link to an album on iTunes you can get the URL by going to the iTunes Store, select the album and email yourself the link from "Tell a friend".
When you get the email, click show images and hover over the iTunes radio button to get the URL.
You'll see an example of a link to iTunes here...

IWeb External page Hyperlink within MobileMe/iDisk

For the last few years I have had my iWeb site set up on my MobileMe Home/iDisk, I note that iWeb files are kept at Home > Web > Sites which contains _gallery, Sites.rss and my home pages.
I have created a genealogical web site using Reunion v9.0b which is kept at MobileMe > Home > Sites. This site was linked to my iWeb pages via a Hyperlink Link To: An External Page. The URL has been http://homepage.mac.com/adrianskehan/Sites/skehan/index.htm which has worked OK. for the last few years.
The Problem is that the HomePage web application went offline on July 7, 2009. As of that date, members are unable to create new pages or edit pages you have already published.
While I can get a link to connect to any other file in the Reunion set it will not connect to the INDEX files???
Now that I have had to update the Reunion Files how do I link it back to my iWeb pages?

Unfortunately that does not work, it comes up with the following:
Looking for something on MobileMe?
We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again.
If I make the URL: http://homepage.mac.com/adrianskehan/skehan/index.html I get:
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 12 at column 14: AttValue: " or ' expected
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
The footer is the only part of the page that shows.

I have tried rebuilding the site changing the index page to each preference in Reunion and resetting the Link for each but get the same result.

Sharepoint 2013 Wiki Page - Links in content rewritten to relative urls

We have an issue where on all SharePoint 2013 wiki pages any URL to items within the site containing the wiki page are rewritten to be relative URLs. This causes a huge problem when we surface these pages and a snippet of their content through a search web
part because the links fail being relative to the wiki page itself. To further illustrated with an example.
A site collection root page http://www.sp2013.com/default.aspx contains a search results web part returning all wiki pages in the site collection. There is a custom display template that renders
the linked title of the wiki page and the first 500 characters of formatted text (html) of the wiki page.
A wiki page is created in a sub site (sub1) called wiki1 (http://www.sp2013.com/sub1/pages/wiki1.aspx) the text of the page contains:
"Check out our new library: Document Library"
Document Library is a hyperlink to (http://www.sp2013.com/sub1/Document%20Library/Forms/AllItems.aspx)
Upon saving the wiki page the link is reformatted to be /Document%20Library/Forms/AllItems.aspx
From the rollup web part at http://www.sp2013.com/default.aspx the relative url in the snippet text of the display template evaluates to
http://www.sp2013.com/Document%20Library/Forms/AllItems.aspx which does not exist.
I have attempted modifying the source of the wiki page as well as the link in the ribbon however upon save of the changes the link is always modified to be relative. Any assistance is appreciated as this is extremely frustrating. Thank you.

Hi JonesEJ,
According to your description, my understanding is that SharePoint converts a absolute URL to
a relative URL when you save the wiki pages containing the URL.
This is actually the preferred behavior in SharePoint and on the web in general. SharePoint saves all absolute URLs for the wiki content as relative. It only does this if the URL matches the URL for the web application for that current wiki
site.
There is no OOB way to change the relative URL back to the absolute URL. For your issue, you can try to use
SPSite.MakeFullUrl() to convert it back.
There is a similar post for your reference:

Linking to a page with a URL hyperlink

Is it possible to create a hyperlink that links to another page in the same document using the "Link To: URL" option in the New Hyperlink window?
Normally I'd just use the "Link to: Page" option but I want to upload a bunch of documents to Issuu and the only interactive object that seems to survive the conversion process is a URL hyperlink. I've also tried creating a button with a "Go To Destination" action attached but it isn't recognised by Issuu either.
I can add buttons in Issuu after I've uploaded the documents but I was hoping there would be a way to do it in InDesign that works for both normal PDFs and uploaded Issuu files.
I hope this makes sense. Let me know if it needs clarification.
InDesign version: CS6 - 8.0.1
OS: Win 7 SP1

Issuu is an online digital publishing platform. Here's an example (not mine!). You upload PDF files to the Issuu website and they are converted to a proprietary format for viewing.
The problem I'm having is that these converted files support URL hyperlinks but not any other kind of interactivity. I was hoping I would be able to use URL hyperlinks to other pages within the document if this was even possible.
I'm trying to get some assistance from the Issuu help staff but I'm not really getting anywhere. Hence the post!

External Link - relative url

We recently upgraded from CM Patch 4 to Patch 28. We have some KM External Link the point to iViews and we used the syntax /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/etc ....
This worked fine in Patch 4, but now is expecting the http://server/ name to be included? Has anybody else encountered this?
Does anybody know of an alias I can use, e.g. - http://servername/irj/etc ...?

HiJulian,
Sorry I didn't explain the problem well enough the first time.
An example is that I have an iView to an ESS transaction, but we wanted to be able to view it among other KM content. We did this by geting the URL of the iView, creating an external link in the KM folder pointing to the iView on the same server. To make it easier to move content bewtwen Dev,QA,and Prod, we used the relative URL's starting with /irj/etc...
In Patch4, this worked fine and it picked up the http://servername just fine.
Now in Patch28, the resulting URL looks like http:///irj with the servername missing.
Thanks,
Mike Shroyer

How to set up use of relative URLs for a BSP application

Dear all,
I need to access a BSP application through our external portal.
This is failing because generated URLs are absolute URLs (they mention physical server name, not known of course on the internet) where they should be relative URLs (they use external portal URL as prefix).
How to set this up?
I'm logged on http://myportal.com/irj/portal and want to call a BSP application. To build this page, my internet client (Internet Explorer) tries to get elements from the server. Looking at HTTP trace, I can see that my IE is trying to reach the physical server, not known on internet of course, then page loading fails.
Ex absolute URL : http://myservername.domain.com/sap/bw/[...]/image1.gif
This is the behavior I can see at the moment.
Relative URL : http://myportal.com/sap/bw/[...]/image1.gif
This is what I'd like to see.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Any idea ?

How to include hyperlink in Endeca page

I have a requirement about including hyperlink into Endeca page. I have an endeca page including external web contents, let's say the url is http://localhost:8080/web/guest/a. I have another endeca page showing orders. When user click on an order on that endeca page, it should go to http://localhost:8080/web/guest/. I just want to know how to implement this feature in Endeca. Any help is appreciated.

For now I can click one of the items in the guided navigation and then go to another endeca page which has OA page in it. Another question for this, could I get the data for what user choose? Say user choose item1 in the guided navigation, then the OA page knows user choose this item and user does not need to enter item id to update the quantity of this item (say the filed of item id is filled automatically because OA page gets data from endeca). The reason why I want to do like this is Endeca cannot update data so I need to use OA framework to update. Does anyone know how to implement this scenario?

Can TOC contain hyperlinks to external docs?

WebHelp, RH9
Can I build a TOC that consists of a list of hyperlinks to external Word documents -- by which I mean Word docs not linked or imported into the project but instead, residing on a shared network drive in an intranet environment. When the user clicks the TOC entry, the Word doc would open either in the content pane or in a new browser window.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi all
In addition to what others have said, I'll also offer this. Even on a "fast" intranet, a Microsoft Word document can take a long time to open.
<Begin scratchy little old man voice here>
Sonny, back in the day when I was a young whippersnapper, when I was in the corporate world, I did the same thing myself. And because opening the document always took longer than most would reasonably expect, I developed a technique that I coined as "docfetch".
I created a separate page in my project for each link. Then linked the TOC to those pages. On the page itself I added some verbiage along the following lines: Please wait as your document is opened.
Then I configured this page to perform a meta redirect that opened the document a second or two later.
This caused the users to stop flooding my inbox to say things were "broke". Also, at that time RoboHelp had issues where it would lose the links to things like documents from the TOC. So it prevented that from happening too.
To configure a meta redirect, just add the following meta tag to your HTML:
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="2;URL=G:\SomeFolder\SomeDocument.DOC">
Cheers... Rick

Making navigation to an external page in faces-config.xml

Hi all,
I want to make a navigation to an external page in faces-config.xml, or for example to an absolute URL like www.oracle.com. Is there a way to put a navigation like this in faces-config.xml? As I know the <to-view-id> tag only references a relative page address on the ViewController project.
Thanks in advance,
S/\EE|)

I want to go to a page of another application (I've split my application into several applications) so I need to use absolute address. As the external page is part of my application, I want to see it in my faces-config in order to know the outgoing pages from my page and manage them when necessary.

Links to site & external pages not working

I've spent all day working around the limitations of Muse. I created a simple site for my photography biz today with a slideshow home page, a contact page and two external pages all linked via a menu created from scratch using text and hyperlinks, not using any widgets. I intiially was having problems with the links defined on the master page as I was linking the text object as opposed to the actual text. Then after realizing I couldn't antively create a contact form w/o using Business catalyst I created one via Wufoo. The good part about that it that Wufoo works with MailChimp and Highrise. The bad part is that after pasting the html code my main menu is completely broken with no navigation whatsoever.
I'm using Muse 7.0.1 and Firefox 11 on a Mac running OSX 10.6.7.
Honestly, this is very subpar even for beta software. I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and take the time to learn Dreamweaver. The site URL is www.imagemakersny.com/photo.

It turns out the issue and fix is pretty simple. On your master page, there is a rectangle with only top and bottom stroke, and no fill, that is used to create the lines above and below the links. This rectangle is currently 'above' the links, and so catches the clicks when they are attempted. To fix this, open the master page, and select the rectangle. Then click on the object menu, and select "send to back". Re-publish/export, and everything should work. Thanks for helping to improve Muse!

Can't view dashboard with relative url in BI 4 Launchpad

I created a dashboard using BIWS connections and I am able to preview the dashboard when i have the full path of Web Service URL but when I use the relative url and publish to launchpad I get the "Cannot access external data......, Unable to load URL:/dswsbobje/Services/Session..." error message. Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks

Are you trying to preview the dashboard from dashboard designer tool ? If yes, then you must have a full web service url, otherwise, it will not be able to resolve the server and port.
But, if you use relative URL and export the same to BO repository, you will be able to view the same by logging into BI Launchpad. There it can resolve the server name and port from existing session.

How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer

How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer?

When you follow a hyperlink in Excel, usually it should open in your default browser. You shouldn't have to do anything special in Excel to create the link when Firefox is your default browser compared with IE. However, the Insert Hyperlink dialog might work differently. I think it might be able to automatically pre-populate a URL from IE, while in Firefox, you need to copy the URL from Firefox's address bar and paste it into the Insert Link dialog.

Problem with sendRedirect using relative URL in WebLogic 5.1 with SP7 & 8

I patched to SP 7 (and also 8), and the request.sendRedirect() with relative
          URL failed. The browser simply displayed "404 - Page not found".
          This problem only happens in a cluster environment attached to a web server.
          SP6 or earlier does not have such problem.
          I noticed that the latest SP always formats the URL and returns it as a full
          absolute URL to the browser. The problem is it uses the Weblogic Server host
          URL where the request is processed (not the Web Server host URL) which is
          not visible to the internet.
          Is it possibly a bug in SP?
