IOS messages strips URL content from linked text sent from Messages Beta

My guess is that this is an unexpected edge case in the iOS version of Messages, where pre-Messages beta it didn't have to worry about link embedded in text. But when I copy a URL from an application such as Reeder or drag and drop a URL from the Safari URL field into Messages in pastes in with underlined text of the title of the page the link is for, with the embeded link. When this link is recieved on iOS devices just the text of the page title is recieved, rendered without the embeded link. Which let me tell you left my wife wondering what I was trying to say to her more than once. Maybe this will is already resolved in a version of Messages yet to be released for iOS devices.

Ralph, yes, I am not denying if you highlight the url and copy and paste it into the text field in messages, you definitely get the full url, and iOS handles this case properly as it recognizes the URL.
But if you click and hold on the favicon and drag away you get Blue text underlined like it was a clickable link, which it is. I did verify Firefox behaves the same way if you drag from the favicon.
If you send the link like that (embeded url) and the reciever is Messages beta on another Mac, or over AIM, likely Gtalk (jabber) as well it is handled properly as a clickable link. If the reciver is on an iOS device, iOS does not handle this properly and strips the embeded url in the link.
Below are images that illustrate
Underlined in Red is the ghosted grab from the favicon, built in screen capture unable to grab my mouse pointer but it ends up over "messages" in the ghosted title with the green "+" indicator.
Apologize for the size of this one, but that dragged URL dropped in a new message.
How this message shows up on iOS devices.
I know the workaround of copy and pasting the highlighted URL from the Safari URL field, but not all apps have this option, as I indicated Reeder for one when you are viewing an article there is a toolpar item to access several options for the article, one of them being copy URL - this must use the same method as Dragging and dropping from the Safari faviocn. Also many links that you bring up the contextual menu on in Safari and copy url end up pasting as embeded url links (Firefox does not do this). The workaround extends the workflow to open the article from a news feed in a browser, or click and load a link in Safari before the URL is exposed in the URL field before copy and pasting the url into messages, not very user friendly.
I hope this helps clarify the case.

How can I invoke a JSP using a URL instance from another JSP?

          Hi all.
          I've been developed a J2EE application using Oracle 9iAS.
          Now I'm migrating to WL Server and I have the following problem.
          I was using the following code to read a URL contents from another JSP:
          URL url = config.getServletContext().getResource("/path/to/url/of/textfile.xsl");
          This was working fine in a expanded directory project structure (typical during
          development time) and Oracle 9iAS.
          When I execute this code from my WL packed .ear file I get a URL not found exception.
          Which is the right way to get a resource available from the same context root?
          Thanks in advance for your answers (and sorry for my bad english ;-))


The previous owner of that machine should have wiped it and install the original OS that shipped with the system leaving the system at the point where the new owner takes over and enters all there own information.
Before you go much further with this machine you should seriously consider backing up any new stuff you have done and wiping it and starting from scratch. If you keep the system like it is you will be plagued with problems. Even doing OS updates will prove frustrating.
Right now the best you can do is to move the Aperture that is on the system into the trash, log into the App Store using your ID and buying Aperture. That should work but to be honest I have never had to do it so can;t say for sure.

No content in rich text mails from MS Exchange with attachments

After upgrading to Yosemite I cannot see any content in mails received from MS Exchange in rich text format when they have an attachment. In Mavericks I can see the content (text) of the mail and the attachments in form of a file called winmail.dat. But in Yosemite I only see the header and the content pane shows a loading animation. When I look in the Library folder I can see the mail in my inbox folder. It has multiple parts, one .partial.emlx and one or more with .emlxpart. When I boot my backed up Mavericks installation, everything is fine. So I think it's a problem with mail.
Any help on this?
Best regards,
Carsten

Our SharePoint 2010 InfoPath 2010 form is working.
Where i need help is the emails sent from SharePoint Designer WorkFlow Email function - The SharePoint site owners do not want to send by email PLAIN TEXT data from the InfoPath RTF they want to send by email Rich Text value look ups from the RTF.
SEND E-MAIL IN A WORKFLOW
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/send-e-mail-in-a-workflow-HA010239042.aspx
everything works fine - except aligning the RTF with the other field look ups. our email has an HTML table where we have plain text fields, date fields, and RTF - I need with INLINE CSS STYLE code since remote CSS or any type of CSS does not work only INLINE
CSS worsk on SP WorkFlow Emails
EXAMPLE: you can create a Workflow Variable that has a simple HTML table, and when SP workflow sends the email the values in the cells do not line up, if the RFT values are blank from the InfoPath form the email table looks greate, as soon as you type any
value in the InfoPath form RFT the email does not line up to the any of the other html cell text or other Look up values to the InfoPath form.

Visible url's over links in messages

In I-mail messages I am getting more and more annoyed by the url's of links that show up. I get a yellow coloured rectangle with sometimes extreme long url's that show when I move the mouse over text with embedded links.
Is there someway to turn this off? It used to occur on a PC I had, but there was some way to disable it.
For instance I get a daily newsletter from my newspaper that shows headlines and links to the site that lead me to the article in question on their site. That's fine but I don't want the yellow rectangle covering the text.
I posted the question on the Dutch Macworld forum where I was able to post an example:
http://macwereld.nl/index.php?option=commwforum&task=showpost&postid=66520#66520
It shows what I mean. It is, I suppose it is the "title attribute" that gets shown when I hover te mouse over the link.
Thanx

Repeating XML content from db and linked images

I'm using XML to flow content from a database into an ID CS2 pub. There will be an .ai file associated with each record which will be placed into a tagged inline frame in each repeating element. I would like to store the .ai files in their own directory and have a field in the database that references the path to each specific file for each particular record.
So...do I simply need to put a placeholder image in the layout and tag the path to the link with the same name as the db field referencing the image path? How do I tag the path to the linked image?
On a related note, I would also to include a symbol with certain records (there's a field in the db that's a "yes-no" checkbox--if this box is checked for any record, I would like the symbol to appear on the page with that record).
Hope I'm being clear here.
Thanks for the help.

Hello bshannon,
Thanks for your answer, I tried your suggestion but when I use URLDataSource I get the error message http 500 (in my original post I said that using URLDataSource the mail was sent but without the image... my mistake, I was getting this same error). I traced the error and I found that it is caused by a null pointer exception... let me explain
This is the code for the jsp that returns the image:
4        <jsp:useBean id="coverImage" class="com.mqm.struts.getImageAction" scope="session" />
5       <%
6           // Desired size of the image to return
7           int heigth = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("heigth"));
8          int width = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("width"));
9
10          // Each item can have up to 6 images (ordered by id), this indicates wich of one we have to return
11            int imageIndex = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("imageIndex"));
12        byte[] imgData = coverImage.getItemImageAction(request.getParameter("itemId"), request,heigth, width, imageIndex );
13        response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
14        OutputStream o = response.getOutputStream();
15         o.write(imgData);
16         o.flush();
17         out.clearBuffer();
18         o.close();
        %> getImageAction is my DAO class that actually reads the image data from the DB, when I use this 'getImage.jsp' inside any other jsp in the app it works, but when used as described in the first post the request parameter in the line 12 doesn't have the session info, apparently creates a new session or something and since I use information in the session to create the DAO factory I can't connect to the DB and get this error..
pls tell me if I explained my self or I'm just talking non sense

JSF pages to display content from external URLs

Hi,
Is it possible for a JSF page that uses ADF controls, and the PanelPage component to provide menuing, etc. to actually allow a HTML page (accessed via a URL to an external site/application) to be displayed in an area within the JSF page?
For example, clicking a menu item to an external HTML page results in the page being displayed in a Frame or similar within the JSF page?
I've tried the FrameBorderLayout control and Frame control to try to embed a Frame to display such a page via the target setting for a menu item, but that doesn't seem to work. At least not when within a PanelPage. It works within a basic JSP page.
I would have thought it would be possible for a JSF application to incorporate HTML content from other sites/servers as if part of the application. Even if this meant defining "wrapper" pages of some sort to effectively link these into the JSF application as part of it's navigation rules.
Or am I missing something?
Gene

Thanks,
Yes, using an iFrame tag within a verbatim tag worked, allowing me to specify an external URL to a page which is then displayed at the location where I placed the verbatim tag. I need to investigate sizing/border settings, but at least I now seem to be able to embed such pages.
This works.
I tried jsp:include as well, but that only seems to allow relative URLs to pages that a part of the application. And using the c:import JSTL tag would import a page at an external URL, but didn't seem to position it where I wanted it.

Making http links clickable, when pulling in content from an external feed.

Hi,
I'm pulling in external content from an RSS feed and binding it to Flex controls (TextArea, DataGrid, etc.). When the content contains a http link, I'd like for that link to be clickable. What is the best way to do this? I would think this would be the default behavior, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
Thx,
Ian

Hi,
The TextArea and DataGrid just use default TextField instances which are plain text.
You would need to set htmlText on the text area and create a custom item renderer for the data grid that accepts html text, then parse your text and create anchors.
Don't really see an easy way out of the box.

Dragging link in: DataFlavors contain URL but I need the URL plus link text

Hello!
In IE under Windows, suppose I have loaded a webpage that contains the following:
click here
If I drag this link to the desktop (or use "Copy Shortcut"/"Paste"), a .url file is created -- a Windows "shortcut". This file CONTAINS, among other things, "target.html". Windows/IE NAMES the file "click here.url".
I have a DropTarget which is accepting links dragged from IE. It seems the DataFlavors are ONLY representing the target URL ("target.html"). I cannot locate the link text ("click here") anywhere.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get the link text?
I am hoping (eventually) to find a cross-platform/cross-browser solution, but right now I'm just working with Windows/IE.
thanks for your help!

IPods and my iPhone have linked text messages. I want this stopped

My granddaughters iPods and my iPhone have linked text messages. How do I stop this?

If they have the same Apple ID, that is why it is happening. If the phone is using the phone number, remove the Apple ID from the Send & Receive section on the phone. That way it is only using the phone number. Then check the iPod and you can remove the phone number from that list of Send & Receive as well, so it is only using the Apple ID.

THank you , Nancy. Appreciate the input.
So instead of this:
<a class="brand" href="index.html"><img src="../img/logo-ca.png"alt="Consumers Advocate Review"> </a>
Would it be something like this?:
<a class="brand" href="index.html"><img src="http://ConsumersAdvocate/img/logo-ca.png"alt="Consumers Advocate Review"> </a>
And if I do that, is there a way to cope with that locally so that DW can still display the images?

Restrict URL Access when linking from report

I have an application that will be a little like a wizard in that I need to control how users get to a form, so I would like to prevent them from being able to just going straight to that page and entering data into the form. I tried using various session state security options, including No URL Access, but that blows up when I try to link from a report to that form for editing purposes.
Is there some way I can link from the report if the target page restricts URL access, and can get a get a brief overview (or point me to some documentation) on the various branch types? I can't find a good explanation anywhere and I'm hoping that solves my problem.
thanks.

Hi,
1.
What about using an Authorization Scheme and then using Security of Page Attributes.
In fact it is schema of users, roles, and passwords.
2.
f?p=App:Page:Session:Request:Debug:ClearCache:itemNames:itemValues:PrinterFriendly
f?p=6000:6004:&SESSION.::NO:6003:MY_ITEM1,MY_ITEM2,MY_ITEM3:1234,,5678
This example:
* Runs page 6004 of application 6000 and use the current session ID
* Clears the current session's cache for items on page 6003
* Indicates debug information should be hidden (NO)
* Sets the value of MY_ITEM1 to 1234, sets the value of MY_ITEM2 to null
(indicated by the comma used as placeholder), and sets the value of MY_ITEM3 to 5678
- Into Column Attributes/Column Link/Link Text pick an icon.
- Select for Attributes/Column Link/Target “URL” for table Emp_Address and into URL field type:
javascript: popupURL('f?p=&APP_ID.: 6004:&SESSION…………');
You can use the value of any Item. Then in the URL link page check that item.
Moreover, you can use f?p=&APP_ID.: 6004:&SESSION…..My_Item:#ReportColumnName#.......
I hope this would help.

After ios 7 update, 2 phones are linked in texting How do I unlink?

After ios 7 update, 2 phones are linked when texting. How do I unlink?

The best thing to do is log one out of the shared Apple ID being used and then create a new one.
You can also go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure only the phone number is checked.

Since I have updated to ios 6 I cannot read the full text of mail messages

Since I have updated to ios 6 I cannot read the full text of mail messages. With previous versions everything worked fine. The only way to read the full text is to answer the mail. Thank you for your help. Regards.

Close out of the mail app. Double tap the home button, find the mail app hold down until you see the red minus sign and hit that. then go back into the mail app and open an email you should now be able to read the full content of the email.

In Textedit, how do I copy a hyperlink url, but only copy the link location and not the link text?

Suppose I have a list of hyperlinked internet URL's. I want to extract their Internet addresses -- the link locations -- which are essentially hidden in the link text. Is there any way to select and copy the list of hyperlinks, but only copy the link locations, and not the link text?
For example, with the links:
The White House
Google
One of my previous posts
What I really want to copy are: "http://www.whitehouse.gov/", "http://www.google.com/", and "https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2737556".

I figured out how to do it. First, copy the hyperlinks onto a blank RTF document in TextEdit and save the file.
Second, open the file from within TextEdit, and make sure that the box "Ignore rich text commands" is checked in the open file dialog box. In the open document, the hyperlinks from my example in my first post will look like this:
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1038\cocoasubrtf360
{\fonttbl\f0\froman\fcharset0 Times-Roman;}
{\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;\red0\green7\blue232;}

Third, use the Automator function, "Get URLs From Text," to create a service, which I called "Get URLs From Text," that receives text from any window, gets the URLs, and copies the result to the clipboard:
Fourth, select the entire page above, and go to TextEdit > Services to activate the "Get URLs" service.
Fifth, create a new TextEdit document, and paste the result.
The output is exactly what I wanted, the URLs -- i.e., the link locations -- of the three web pages, without the link text.
Another utility that will extract URLs is CopyPaste Pro, which has an innate ability to extract Internet addresses from either web pages or text pages.
