Library-fixing path links

Hi,
Just switched over to Dreamweaver this week after years of
using GoLive. I'm used to how the components work, but I can't
figure out how to get the Library to work. When I drag the library
item from the assets panel (a simple navigation bar, not a Spry
Menu) the path keeps referring back to, for example,
...library/index.html. How do I get it to just say index.html
without library in the path description? I have 7 different nav
bars for different parts of the site, and hand coding them all...
don't want to even think about it! :-)
Also, is there some website I can refer to that has all the
hacks available for fixing all the problems in IE? Yikes, the site
looks fine on Firefox, but has alignment problems in Explorer. I've
gone through all the video seminars that Adobe offers for
transitioning from GoLive to Dreamweaver.
Many thanks,
Janell

I should have added what the code looks like.
In the Library Assets, the code for a link is:
<a href="t_theatre_showrooms/eco_show.html">
But on the HTML page, it turns into:
<a href="../Library/t_theatre_showrooms/eco_show.html">
Of course the pages are not in a folder called "Library"
Thanks!
Janell

Sorry about that. I am not exactly sure where the problem is, but I know it takes place after I put the <nav> in (in the html portion). If I understand what I am learning, the CSS at the top will structure my html code so I would have thought the CSS tageting my nav would be the focus. Maybe it is a different section though.
CSS part:
nav p {
font-size: 90%;
color: #FFC;
text-align: right;
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #090;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-right: 20px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
border-top-width: 2px;
border-top-style: solid;
border-top-color: #060;
HTML part: (bold italic is the part I added)
<body>
<div class="container">
<div id="apDiv1"><img src="Lessons/images/butterfly-ovr.png" width="170" height="158" alt="GreenStart Logo"></div>
<header></header>
<nav>
    <p>Home | About Us | Contact Us</p>
</nav>
<div class="sidebar1">

Library Navigation adding 'library' to path of menu

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here - I created a library item for my navigation to include in all the pages of my site. Looks like this:
<ul class="menu">
                <li><a href="_products.html">Products</a></li>
                <li><a href="_events.html">Events</a></li>
                <li><a href="_documents.html">Documents</a></li>
                <li><a href="_contact.html">Contact</a></li>
                              </ul>
HOWEVER
When I upload the site none of the links are working because the library item has added /library/ to the link path. For example the code now looks like this:
<ul class="menu">
                <li><a href="/Library/_products.html">Products</a></li>
               </ul>
Any suggestions? Much appreciated.

1 - In the past this is how I always created a navigation - using a library item - and I have never had to update them to include 'library' - meaning my experience is that DW would not add the path to the library item but honor the actual code in the library item. This is why I am wondering if something in CS6 has changed or if I am doing it wrong as I have never seen this before.
Nothing has changed since DW v 2, and perhaps even DW v 1. What has always been true is that whether you are creating a template or a library item, or a server-side include, or any file, the link in the file MUST BE CORRECT. If you would open your Library item file in DW, and click on the link, it would fail. If you would change your link so that it is correct from the Library item's location, and then click on it, it would succeed, and it would succeed in any target file at any location in your site. That has always been the case, and will always be the case.
2 - Is it not a good practice to just let DW make relative links? Are you recommending that I create full links instead - for example the entire url in the link - http://www.etcetcetc ?
It is a good practice to understand HTML well enough to grasp when one should use ROOT relative links and when one should use DOCUMENT relative links, and the impact that using either can have on your page's functionality. In your case, you showed a ROOT relative link -
<li><a href="/Library/_products.html">Products</a></li>
My comment is that it's not a good practice to use a ROOT relative link (as opposed to a document relative link) unless you have a good reason to do so, and I could not discern that you did. The consequence of that root relative link is that it will fail when you preview the page locally unless you are also using temporary files to preview (see Preferences > Preview in browser). Now - I am not sure if that's actually what you have or if it was just a typo. The link in the Library item is indeed a document relative link, and I'm not sure how that would become a root relative link in your target file so I suspect now that it might have been a typo....
Anyhow, no, I'm not recommending that the link be an absolute one. Doing that would eliminate DW's ability to manage the link in the event that you would move or rename the target file.

Instant client AIX library search paths

If you use the AIX "dump -H" command against the various Instant Client libraries, you'll notice that some non-existant paths (from the original build) are included.
For example:
$ dump -H libclntsh.a
shows a library search path of:
/b/114/lib:/usr/lib:/lib
This can create security problems, particulary with set-uid programs which link against such libraries.
When you next build your AIX libraries, you may wish to use the "-bnolibpath" or perhaps an explicit "-blibpath" directive with the loader.
Just a thought. Thanks for providing the Instant Client.

Thanks for the report.

How rebuild path links from files in InDesign cs6

I work with Indesign cs6, in a workgroup with synchronized files at my HD, from a virtual disk (cloud), and bacause of this, the path linked files got the computer name (ex.: computer1/folderx/file.indd).
How many people edit the same file, many times the path do not is update when the file is opened at other computer. There is any way to change the path files in a easy way (manually)? Or make the Indesign search for files with broken links automatically from a new "root" or main folder in computer?

This feature does not exist in InDesign. You're best hope is that you have a backup of the previous file. Moving forward, you might want to try a free product called Radish that allows you to save versions and revert back to previous versions when needed. Here's a blog post I wrote about the product Story Versioning in InCopy | InCopySecrets.

Is there an automated way to fix broken links?

I've been revising a large online Help system. I've added
many new topics. I've deleted topics. I've changed topic names of
topics already in place. As a result, the system has many broken
links. Is there an automated way, or a utilility, to fix these
links? This is a very large help system.
I'm using X5 (WebHelp).
Feel free to answer via email, and thanks!

When you delete RH offers to fix the links to that topic. If
you did not take that option then you can only fix it manually. Did
you perhaps delete outside of RH?
I don't see how adding a new topic can break a link as
nothing links to it until you create the links.

RH8 fixing broken links

In RH8, I'm trying to fix broken links. I find the topics, then they move from the Broken Links folder to the correct folder but then the topic still looks like it has a broken link! Can anyone advise? here's a pic

Hello again
Unfortunately you are totally misunderstanding things. Please allow me to try and explain better.
ANY folder in your project is going to have an FPJ file inside it. This is a "behind the scenes" file that RoboHelp uses to keep track of the files that are part of the project.
In the image you provided, there are two folders in the project location with similar names:
Ranger_Help
Ranger_Help_
Only the Ranger_Help_ appears to actually be part of the project because the other folder Ranger_Help isn't appearing in the image capture showing the project inside RoboHelp. So unless something screwy happened, you should not find an FPJ file inside that folder. Then again, you may find one. It all depends on what happened.
Personally, I'd look inside the Ranger_Help folder and see if the files representing the broken links are inside. They may well be. And if so, I'd copy them to the Ranger_Help_ folder and see if that resolves things.
This project is beginning to resemble a bowl of spaghetti!
Cheers... Rick

Root path links and tomcat

Hi!
I'm using tomcat 5.5 and I made a simple webapp:
tomcat_dir/webapps/myapp
I'm using root paths when refering to images, docs, servlets, and so within myapp (servlets, jsp, html, etc.)... For example:
<img src="/myapp/imgs/pic1.jpg" ...>
<form ... action="/myapp/servlets/sendMail.do">
request.getRequestDispatcher("/es/thanks.jsp");all this root path links works fine whenever I'm running my web app from localhost (http://localhost/myapp/index.html) but whenever I running it from internet (http://myapp.mydomain.com) I can't get the web app to work, instead I get the glamorous HTTP 400 error
What do I'm doing wrong? I've tried using relative paths and myapp works both localhost and internet way... but what do i need to do to use root paths?
thx

when u are getting error code 400, pls notice what the url has formed...copy and paste it here inthis forum..

Using Link Checker crashes WinXP every time I try to fix a link

Using Link Checker crashes WinXP every time I try to fix a
link by clicking
the link in the broken link column. The folder icon appers, I
click on the
icon and I get a system warning beep as the folder window
opens, I select
the correct link and click OK, the new link appears
momentarily in the
column, then I get the XP program close-down alert.
I have rebooted, refreshed site-cache, re-created the
user-config, it just
keeps happening.

It sure has never crashed for me....

Production break fix path during BW 7.3 to 7.4 Upgrade and migrate to HANA

Hi,
I was browsing through the various threads for the production break fix during Upgrade /Migrate project but was not able to come to a conclusion, hence thought of posting a question to get some fresh ideas.
Suppose, the landscape is Dev - Q - Prod, and if we want to use SUM DMO for Upgrade & migrate, in this case what is BEST possible production break fix path.
Say BD1 existing Dev box, then Do we need to create copy of BD1 to BD2 --> Upgrade/Migrate BD2 and similarly copy BQ1 (for Q system) to BQ2 and Upgrade/Migrate BQ2. Finally, Production BP1 Upgrade/Migrate. So at the end of it, the production path would be BD2-BQ2-BP1.
Now, in this case how do we manage source system connection? Say we have ED1 as source ECC connected to BD1, are we going to connect the same ECC to BD2 as well after system copy? Will the system allow creating the connection with the same ECC to the copied BW (BD2) system?
Is there any other option than PCA method?
Any help understanding the production break fix would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Sohil Shah.

Hi,
> 4. Our BW system have a lot of data, dose it will impact the tecn upgrade time? Data volumn will impace system tech upgrade time or not? We need to estimate system down time for tech upgrade.
Database size does not have impact on upgrade runtime.
> 5. For BW 7.3 authorization, It is total difference with Bw 3.5. After Technical upgrade, what do we need to change for authorization? Do you have any document for me to reference ?
>
You need to run SU24 after the upgrade, there you will get list of all objects effected because of upgrade. Since there are lot of changes from authorization side then you have the option either to change only effected objects or do security upgrade project where you can revamp all roles and authorizations.
Thanks
Sunny
