IOS Postal Tracking Links

When I receive a shipment email from a retailer with a tracking number, iOS 8 recognizes that it's a tracking number and turns it into a link to go to the delivery agent's tracking site.
I'm in Canada and unfortunately, when something is sent with a Canada Post tracking number (which is most of the time), iOS sends me instead to the USPS tracking site which, of course, results in a "not found" message.
I bought my iPhone 6 in Canada, all my region settings are Canada, my app and iTunes store are set to Canada, yet a package tracking link defaults to United States.
Is there any setting I can adjust for this? It's a great iOS feature, but assuming I'm American renders it practically useless.

This could be logged by linking to an intermediate page on your own site.
For example (if your server supports PHP), you could link to http://www.yourownsite.com/jump.php?url=http://www.facebook.com instead of a direct link to http://www.facebook.com
Then make a PHP file on your server called "jump.php".
<?php
header("Location: $_GET[url]");
// OPTIONAL: you could have PHP write your own log file here
// if not using GoogleAnalytics or your server's own logging/reporting
exit;
?>

Tracking links defined in scripting

Dreamweaver does a great job of tracking pages and files when
the standard href tag is used, but it doesn't seem to be able to
track links that are defined through scripts. Or more accurately,
links which don't use the href tag. For instance I have some ASP
pages using "response.redirect" that go to other pages on the site.
However Dreamweaver does not track these kinds of links, so if I
moved the linked page I must manually update the ASP script. Is
there any way to fix this? Maybe through an extension?

Anyone have their iPhone 5 pre-order shipping confirmation and working tracking link yet?

For anyone pre-ordering an iPhone 5, please post when you have a UPS/Fedex shipping tracking link that actually works and indicates that your iPhone 5 is in transit and whether or not it is scheduled to be delivered on Friday the 21st to coincide with when the iPhone 5 will be available in stores. And did you pre-order through the Apple store or through one of the carriers, e.g. Verizon or AT&T? And did you pre-order early on Friday the 14th or are you hours or days back in the pre-order queue?

Wahoo! Just finished up my pre-order on Verizon's site. (Apple site still displaying "We'll be back" page as of 3:18 AM EST). Definitely says 9/21 DELIVERY, not SHIPPING ...

Tracking links

Portal Experts,
We are evaluating the Oracle Portal for our web site. The current Web master of a site which is composed of mostly static pages wants to know how the Portal tracks links.
If a page is deleted to which a different page in the portal has a link, is there any warning that the page has links to it? Is there any way to track broken links -- links to pages/items/portlets which do not exist?
Any help would be appreciated. thanks!

hi,
in portal you have a seperate item type called page link. if you remove the page that you link to, the link of this item is removed automatically. this avoids that anything is ever broken.
links to portlets are not possible. you can only link to pages that contain portlets.
if you really need to link to items i suggest using the autoquery search portlet in order to display these items. this automatically detects if an item is removed from a page and does not display it next time the search portlet is rendrered.
regards,
christian

ISA Shipment Tracking Link

Hi,
I'm working on the enhancements on the CRM ISA B2B/B2C application (CRM 4.0 ISA Sp09). Client Requirement is to have the Shipment Tracking Link (UPS) in the application once the shipment is dispatched from R/3. Could someone tell me the steps invloved to achieve this?
Greatly appreciate all the help.
Thanks,
Vishal Mehta.

Hi follow the standard SAP documentation.You will find it easy in implementing the Shipment tracking.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm40/helpdata/en/2f/cc2168d28f11d5b2d8000102ddd7e5/content.htm
I have configured according to this.I am getting it fine for FEDEX.The only problem I am facing is the URL mentioned in the table TCAURL for UPS and DHL.
As per the above document the Tracking number is getting attached to the URL where as in actual DHL and UPS case they have secured order tracking.
If you get some solution for UPS regarding this please let me know.
But follow the steps as mentioned above.The shipment tracking will be set up automatically without much effort.
Please allot reward point if you think that it solved your problem.

Tracking links to other sites

I would like to track how many times users of my site are clicking links that send them to other web sites. I use Google Analytics but it is not a part of it. I know that some people add code to their links for tracking the clicks.
Thanks.

Help! - Tracks linked to application files, not my music !!

Something very weird is going on here....
I've got about 500 tracks that somehow are linked to application files. For example if I select "Show in Finder" it takes me to:
Applications:iWeb.app:Contents:Frameworks:SFApplication.framework:Versions:A:Res ources:pt_PT.lproj:SFAppWarningsInspector.nib:keyedobjects.nib
If it were just one or two tracks I'd clean it up manually, but I've got hundreds like this...
Any ideas how to automatically relink these to the original files which still exist in my iTunes Music folder?
Any idea how this happened in the first place? My only thought is that the library file may have been corrupted, but if so, how did the tracks wind up pointing to files inside an applications package?

Should this be on the Flash forum?

IOS 6, no linked cards

I don't know what I'm missing. I used to be able to see the option when I edit a contact to "link" another contact card to it.
Now I don't see that option at all.
Did this feature go missing in iOS 6?!

Same problem !!!
Apple support doens't react (??!)
I did all proposed solutions (Restore / Hard reset / etc etc etc) NOTHING WORKS (!!!!!!!!!)
Got this problem since I moved from 4S to 5. Almost 6 month ago that my phone doens't show any call history.
As I am using it as a professional device, this has a serious impact on my day to day job.
Let's be honnest... Apple support needs to seriously be IMPROVED.

Restoring stereo audio track link to video track as source/destination

I've read everything I can find relevant in discussions & manuals but can't figure out how to get my two audio tracks (stereo) linked back to video track as destinations, as they once were, with video and audio source/destination tabs joined. In the patch panel (when I started this morning) I noticed that only A1 destination button had an a1 source. There was no a2 Source button to join to A2 Destination.
In my groping around I managed to also make the a1 source button dissapear as well. Link and Stereo Pair are checked in the Modify menu. Linked Selection button is on in Timeline.
What the heck am I doing wrong here and how do I get those Source buttons to reappear? Thanks for whatever advice you guys can give.
- Frazzled Idiot

"how do I get those Source buttons to reappear?"
The vn and an source tabs appear and disappear in the timeline depending on the clip in the viewer: if it is only video, there is only v1, if it is only stereo audio you have a1 and a2, if you have a standard clip audio + video you have v1, a1 and a2, and so on. Just depends on the clip in the viewer.
If you had only a1 source, it means that you probably had your clip unlinked, your stereo pair unlinked and you loaded only one of the 2 stereo tracks to the viewer. If you want to edit them back together select the video and 2 audio tracks in the timeline and cmd-L (link video to audio) and opt-L (link stereo pair).
After that when you load the clip in the viewer you'l have again v1, a1 and a2 source buttons ready to use.

Tracking Link click

Hi everyone!
I have one doubt in JSP....
I am having one JSP page (say Home page) which consists various url links(with a href tag).
After clicking on to any of the links I want to keep the record of which link was clicked(i.e. which JSP page is called)
I want to test it on home page itself instead of going into each JSP page to check which JSP was called everytime when user click on the available url on Home page.
In short I want to track which reference link was clicked on Home page itself.
Thanks & Regards
Ketan.

hi
thanks for the reply...
but I am trying to avoid modifying each jsp...
so what I have decided is to write a javascript function in the Home JSP page itself which will take the url as an argument and is called when clicked on any of the link. In that function I am calling a Servlet with query string consisting of corresponding url.The sevlet will take care of storing the url in to the database as well as redirecting to that page.
I have to follow the MVC architecture, so cant include files in JSPs to achieve the same.Instead , I am calling a Servlet which will work as a Controller.
Thanks & Regards,
Ketan

IPad iOS event tracking - angle of refraction compensation... ??

I have contacted Autodesk to report a problem with the tracking of the lines drawn and the actual center position of a percision stylus like the Adonit JotPro... Basically the lines track off center to the relative "Top" of the page... Wherever you have the "Top" aligned by turning the iPad it will draw lines above the top of the stylus tip center...
See the post here for a better example... The pictures are upside down it is supposed to be at the top...
https://getsatisfaction.com/sketchbook/topics/adonit_jot_precision_stylus_tracks _at_the_top_of_the_stylus_center
Below is the reply i received from Autodesk...
this offset issue is caused by iOS when it compensates for angle of refraction, so the event positions have an offset, bigger the closer you go to the top of the screen.
This becomes evident with pens that have a clear disk.
There is a technical reason why other apps behave correctly and SketchBook doesn't (for now) but I can't discuss the details. We will look into this but cannot promise when this fix will be released.
What is this exactly... ?? Why is it necessary for the OS to do this and is there any way to disable it with or without jailbreaking the device... ??
I sure would like to be able to draw normally... =]

I cannot agree I am sorry. It is not that the app is the cause, more that their programmers are yet to piece together the appropriate methods in code to make the correct offset work consistently and without error.
Also short answer... No default compensation cannot be disabled.
It doesn't work like that...
When you touch an iPhone or iPad screen your touch evokes a "touch event" within iOS, that is then interpreted in context by the current app. (Part of the UIKit framework in iOS.)
The software programmer for each app is responsible for how his or her app responds to that touch event.
I guess that the response you received from Adobe was a polite "yes we know it's an issue but have not figured out how to overcome it yet".
I am just beginning to learn to use Sketchbook Mobile for iOS. I notice that they include in the latest release a setting titled "Use Offset Painting". Maybe that might help you? I have not researched this however...
Good luck :)

IOS Ad Tracking Identifier-Issue

Hi,
I would like to see an enhancement of the limit ad tracking feature built into iOS. Since Facebook and other companies are going to start using that more and I don't want to be tracked and spammed with advertising. I pay a lot of money for my products and being tracked is the last thing I want. I want the ability to completely turn the advertising identifier off, not just limit the ad tracker. I also feel that it should be set to off/restricted from the day anyone opens a phone or updates the OS. I want the ability to see who is requesting my advertising identifier, the ability to block and allow certain companies and apps to use my identifier. I feel that this is a simple thing to implement in the OS and the developers and advertisers just have to find their own way of working around it.
Thank you,
Chris

I have iPhone 4 running IOS 4.1 and ThinkPad running Vista and am experiencing a similar problem. I am able to connect to the ad-hoc network (using WEP encription as WPA2 didn't work at all) however I cannot get internet access through this network connection. My wife has an iPhone 3GS running IOS 4.0.2 and she has no problems at all connecting to the ad-hoc network and getting a connection to the internet.
I also find that my phone does not remember the pass code to connect to the network and I need to enter it each time I try to connect. The option to "Auto-Join" the network always slides back to "OFF" when I exit from the network setup page. Again my wifes phone does not have this same problem.
Looks to me like it is either an IOS 4.1 issue or iPod/iPhone 4 hardware problem.

Itunes track links via chapters in garageband

i have produced a lengthly podcast enhanced for itunes playback (chapters, images, lnks). 50% is narrative and 50% musical excerpts. i tried to link each audio excerpt via the chapter to itunes (using itunes linkage code) so people could buy the track if they enjoyed while listening to podcast, etc. but i am finding that itunes track linkage is not working or even showing up. i can link to web pages but just not to itunes tracks specifically. is this an itunes bug or what? any suggestions? (btw, i am using garageband 3 to assemble podcast)

I believe Final renders the file to 48KHz on import. I haven't used final cut in a long time but you shouldn't have to re-render at every edit but I could be wrong. Probably best to ask this in the final cut thread.

FedEx Tracking Link for your iPhone

WOW, Apple covers all the bases. Follow this link to track your shipment LIVE!
http://tinyurl.com/8dfn2

Same as mine. You should get an email later with the tracking number again and it will list UPS Business 2-day delivery. It won't show up on the UPS site until after midnight or after it has been picked up/scanned in. Hope this helps!
