Link to a document

Dear All- can anyone help me?
I am using Captivate and uploading the content to a SCORM 1.2
LMS. I have a button in my Captivate file which on success (should)
open a new window containing a evaluation word document. I have
uploaded the document to a new folder and added a link to the
folder. When the published captivate file is uploaded to the LMS
and the user clicks on the button a new window opens with the
message, this page cannot be displayed. However if the user then
clicks in the address bar and presses enter or go the file is
downloaded.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this- I am at my wits
end and I need to rooll this out asap.
Thanks

Tutor: Adding a Prior Activity that does not link to a document

When the docs are published, the Prior Activities come across as broken links if a document filename is not included in the formatting.
Is there a way around this so that if someone clicks on a prior activity which is not linked to a document, it doesn't do anything - rather than appearing as a broken link?
Thank you.

Can you provide the exact text that you are putting under the Prior Activity heading?
Kind regards,
Emily

How do I link to a document in the cloud using Pages. It seems to only give me a choice of linking to a document on my Mac

It seems to only give me a choice of linking to a document on my Mac.

You can't hyperlink to icloud. This is what the Pages User Guide says:
Using Hyperlinks and Bookmarks
Hyperlinks and bookmarks are used in documents that will be viewed onscreen, either as HTML files or as Pages documents. You can add hyperlinks to jump to another page or to open an email message or a webpage on the Internet. Use bookmarks to mark passages in the document that you want to refer to as you work.
You can download the Pages User Guide from your Pages Help menu.

Creating a new "Link to a Document" opens Word document or upload document dialog - plus more!

The Link to Document content type seems to be corrupted at root. When I attempt to create a new Link, either Word opens with a blank document or the "Upload" document dialog opens. It's been changing as I investigate.
One things I've noticed is that the "Link to a Document" Content Type on the parent site collection now shows it's parent as Document. this explains why the Word document opens, but not why the Upload dialog does.
While writing this question, I decided to check further and it seems that the other document types, Audio, Video etc. all now have Document as the parent and are opening a blank Word document.
Has anyone seen this behavior? How do I fix this?
This is on SharePoint 2010.
Thanks in advance.

Well, I spoke too soon. The process worked for all the custom content types, but the default Document type was still messed up. I probably should have fixed that one first, but...
Anyhow, the Document type had no template going to the Upload File dialog rather than the blank Word document it's supposed to go to. I followed the same procedure I'd followed for the other content types, checking what worked on another site and using that
template which in this case was a blank field:
So, I went opened Document, Document Content Type and went to advanced settings. The template field was empty, which matched the working site, so thinking that if I saved, it would match up with the working site. I saved the Document content type and when
after several minutes the save failed with an incredibly long list of locations where that were being perceived as "read only" plus several hidden content types that were listed as sealed. This snapshot shows a few of they many pages of content types. (I poorly
struck through confidential info):
Besides this gigantic error, which would require going to hundreds of locations on the site to change read access settings, which are, as far as I can tell actually not "read only" or are inaccessible, such as the hidden "System Page Layout' and so forth
which shouldn't be based upon the default document type anyway and therefor not fixable, I need to understand why this is happening and what to do about it. I don't want to spend the next two days going over all of these libaries and content types and ending
up back where I started with all the content types still screwed up. Afterall, I've spent about a day creating all these custom Content Types only to have the default Document content type loose its settings and corrupting everything and another day fixing
it and having it happen again.
This is a highly unacceptable behavior on the part of SharePoint and I would really like to fix this.
Help is sorely needed.
Thanks in advance

In Pages 5.0.1. is there any way to link one pages document to another pages document. If so, How?

Is Pages 5.0.1 is there any way to link one Pages document to another Pages document? If so, Please, How?

Well, you could trade it in for a white one!
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Issue in creating a add link to a document content type on a doc lib name with , / special characters

hi,
i am having a requirement to create/use "add link to a document" content type for a item in the document library.
so i got the code from below site :
http://howtosharepoint.blogspot.in/2010/05/programmatically-add-link-to-document.html
my issue is, if teh document library names are single words - like MOM, model, procedures etc this functionality is working fine and i am able to view the link to a document as an item.
but when the doc lib name contains special characters like , or / , this link to a document content type functionality is NOT working.
can anyone pls point me whether this is the actual issue ? ie, if the doc lib name contains special chars like , or / my
add link to a document wont work? is there any restrictions/limitations for doc lib names in SharePoint ?
for eg: my doc lib names are :
1) Report and analysis, Data
2) form / template
3) map/ plot
help is highly appreciated!

hi,
its talking abt the subsite names and folders and NOT the document librraies.
is there any link which gives the naming convention / restricted names for document libs or splists , from msdn / blogs.technet.
thnx

Internal Links in HTML Document Not Working Correctly in PDF

I have an HTML document that contains internal links (basically a Table of Contents). When the document is displayed in a browser, the internal links work correctly. However, when I use Acrobat 8 Professional to create a PDF version from the HTML source, the links don't go to the correct place when clicked. It almost appears that they are off by one, e.g., link 7 goes to anchor 8. I can send the source document for you to look at if you email me at eharris -at- synnovation.com. I am not expert in HTML and perhaps the links/anchors are not done correctly when I create the HTML document. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

This one has the same problem. For instance, "Anchor1" as <a name="Anchor1"> appears 13 times. I am sure that your problem is that Acrobat is going to the last occurance that is just before the first one. As I scan through the file I find similar results for all of the anchors. When I used Tidy, it reduces about 1350 errors to about 474, but that is still not too good. The validator is flagging a lot of identical IDs as well as unrecognized attributes (like ONSELECTSTART). The attributes correctly accepted by body are
Attribute Specifications
* BACKGROUND=URI (background image for document)
* BGCOLOR=Color (background color for document)
* TEXT=Color (text color for document)
* LINK=Color (link color for document)
* VLINK=Color (visited link color for document)
* ALINK=Color (active link color for document)
* ONLOAD=Script (document has been loaded)
* ONUNLOAD=Script (document has been exited)
as listed on htmlhelp.com for HTML 4. There may be some new ones in HTML 5, but I did not check.
I am not looking at all of your HTML in detail, but there appears to be a lot of unneeded things based on the error messages from the validator. Many browsers will let you display the stuff (even Acrobat), but there may be errors that crop in when you do not expect it or on some other browsers that the one you check. Thus again, you should use a validator. If you are only off a few tags that might be fine, but when it is in the 1000s, there is an issue. It would also be good to break your page up into parts. It is good practice on web pages for each page to be not much more than one screen. That is often exceeded, but 59 screens of info (on my screen) is a bit much. The TOC is definitely needed in that case, but just was well go to a sub page just as well and make the info easier to track. A PDF (as you are trying to get) could be made of the entire system for those that want it all in one bit. Bill

My client needs to be able to create a link to a document on the server in Incontext editor

My client needs to be able to create a link to a document on the server, but I dont want to allow FTP/File manager access as this gives him opportunity to delete pages and files.
How can you give him safe access without giving access to the files?

The only other way to upload the document to his site is to use Media Downloads, also known as Literature in some part of the system. Then, inside the InContext Editor you click on the link and and select page from my site, then link to the literature item created.
That's all.

Link to Excel document in site throws "Document with same name already open"

I have an Excel document stored in a document library in SP2010. I provided a link to the document in a CEWP on a page. When clicking the link on the page, Excel throws the erorr "Two documents with the same name cannot be opened" error.
When clicking the link in the document library, the Excel workbook opens fine. When hovering over both links, the URL in the status bar is identical. Here is the link in the page:
<span style="width:120px; padding-right:50px;">
<a class="ms-addnew" href="https://mydomain.com/sys/groups/ermcg/RA/Shared%20Documents/RA1.xlsm">
<img src="https://mydomain.com/sys/groups/ermcg/RA/SiteAssets/excelsmall.jpg" style="border:none;vertical-align:middle;"></img> Download to Excel</a>
</span>
Thanks in advance,

Hi jd_hancock,
The scenario is not reproduced in my environment.
I used Fiddler to check whether there are differences between them to download the file, it seems the same and the file also successfully opened in the Content Editor Web Part.
I would suggest you to use the same way to check whether the download process is the same, also, type the url directly in the address bar, whether the document can be opened as expected?
Thanks,
Qiao

Problem "Link to a document" content type within document set - Bug?

Hello,
I'm having an issue with the "Link to a document" content type in one of my document libraries. The issue is when you create a link to a document inside a document set:
The result is that the users get redirected to the wrong URL (../docsethomepage.aspx instead of ../docsethomepage.aspx?ID=.......), and instead of seeing the actual document set they started from, with the new link (or any document that is already in the
document set) the users see a default view of a generic document set - not the one they started from:
Any suggestions on how to fix this? One library has this faults and one does not. Our SharePoint server is up-to-date.

Hi,
I reproduced the issue in different versions of SharePoint, it works in SharePoint Server 2013, and the issue occured to Office 365. I then tried enabling “Launch forms in a dialog”, it worked.
I will forward the issue to our internal feedback channel. And since the issue occurs to Office 365, please create service request with online engineer for root cause.

Document text now linked to another document - how to remove?

I admit I am new to InDesign and am learning through the proverbial firehose. I have been selecting, copying, and pasting content from one InDesign document into my current working document. Because the new document uses different Character and Paragraph Styles from the old one, I delete the ones that get copied over from the previous document and reassign all the copied text with the current ones. Up until now, this worked without problems. The last time I did this, somehow the imported content linked my current document to the old document I copied it from. So every time I try to modify it in the new document, even the smallest thing like deleting some text, it has to go back and open the old document before it can make the change in the new one. This really slows things down to practically being unusable. How can I break this link to the old document? Thanks! Phil

Hi Peter. I think I have a better understanding of what happened, although I'm not sure why it caused a problem. The best part is, I think I've found a workaround that stops the problem from happening. I had been working with all my InDesign files on a remote network drive, but was unhappy with the file transfer speed. So I copied the whole folder, with all the Documents, Books, Links, and everything, to a local hard drive and started working on them there. I think that is when the problem started happening.
After moving the files to my local drive, the file speed still seemed slow, but I didn't realize until this morning that even when I open the Book on the local drive, it is still pointing to all the documents on the network drive. I only realized this when I looked at the Documents on my local drive, and they were still earlier versions, all the updated documents were still on the network drive. So, suspecting that the problem had something to do with confusion of file locations, I did two things. First, I copied the whole folder AGAIN from the remote drive to my local drive. Then I opened the offending Document directly (not via the Book) and deleted the last section I had copied and pasted from the old Document. This seemed to cure the problem of it always looking for the old Document it was copied from. Then I deleted the Book itself, and am in the process of reconstructing it using all the Documents on the local hard drive folder.
This raises a few questions about the best way to work.
1) Is it better to edit individual documents of a Book by opening them from within the Book, or should I edit them individually, and then update the Book when I am all done? I'm starting to think the latter would give faster response, because the Book would not always have to update all the Documents with every change you make in one of them.
2) When I'm done with the Book, I then want to move the whole package (Book, Documents, Links, Fonts, etc.) to a network drive for access by other users. Will I need to delete and rebuild the Book after I have moved it to the network drive, since otherwise it would still be pointing to the Documents on my local drive? Or is there an easier way?
Also, if you can recommend a good reference with this kind of information, it would be much appreciated. I do have InDesign CS5 Classroom in a Book, but it doesn't have this kind of information.

How to create a link to a document in the KM content

I work in BI. I have a document in the KM Content folder and I want to create a link to this document from another folder that I created in Portal Content. Can someone tell me I can do this?
Thanks.
Ryan

There seems to be some confusion between Portal and KM features here.
The problem is that I have no idea of BI. But as I understand it correctly, BI stores some objects like Web Reports in KM folders.
To your point 1.: ZSANDYTEST looks like a customer development. This is not a standard navigation node. Also you speak of "folder". The navigation nodes "Content Administration" and "Portal Content" have nothing to do with KM at all. The are comming from a portal role. So the question is, what is ZSANDYTEST below the Portal Conten navigation node? Is it an iView? What kind of iView is it?
You say you want to have a "link" in this "folder" but without getting more details about what kind of object "ZSANDYTEST" is I can only guess, what you are having there.
I suggest to first get a basic understanding on portal content and portal roles starting about here
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/6b/a7a62102194ad0879b19731905d2de/frameset.htm
No if you now what a role is and what an iView is, we can talk about how to integrate something into an already existing role. You can create an iView of a fitting type to integrate any content into the portal.
For example create an SAP transaction iView if you want to integrate an SAP transaction.
Now KM is an application using the portal. Things stored in KM can be intergrated in different ways.
If you want to integrate a word document stored in KM it is a good idea to create a KM document iView. If you want to intergrate a whole KM folder structure you need to use a KM navigation iView. In the standard portal roles there are already KM navigation iViews, so to integrate a new object like a word document you can simply create a new KM folder and upload the document there.
So try to specify if you mean a KM folder or a portal navigation node or a PCD folder. Because whithout seeing the system while talking about this there will be confusion.
2. When creating a link in KM you will get a popup with KM entry points in it for which you have permissions. There is also a small link called "more" if not all entry points are fitting into the window.
Form the link to this SRA_LOGO_TEST you posted before this seems to be stored in a subfolder of the "Public Documents" entry point (folder) so navigate into the Public Documents entry point and into the subfolder containing the object you want to link to. Of course, if you do not have read permission to the folders or objects you want to link to, you will not see them.

Custom Content type based on "Link to a Document" does not open new folder in a dialog

Hi,
We have created a custom Content Type based on "Link to a Document" (0x01010A) into a document library. When I use the New Document button on the ribbon, the "Link to a document" form appears on the same window, not as a dialog. If we
use the "link to a document" content type it works fine.
This issue occurs when creating the content type from the SharePoint UI as well as via XML (provisioning the content type).
Is it a SharePoint bug or are we missing something?
Thanks!
Sergio

Hi S3rgiones,
I can reproduce your issue, when create a custom content type based on “Link to a Document” content type, create item using the content type, it will open the NewLink.aspx page in the same window not the modal dialog.
In this situation, you can try to custom the content type and customize the form page for it, specify it in the content type customization, if this doesn’t work, you may need to custom the content type not inherit from the default link to
a document, but customize it yourself.
Thanks,

Records Management Sytem link to DMS Document

I'm trying to programatically create a document in DMS from Records Management System and create a link to the document. I can create the document using BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2 but cannot figure out a way to link to the document.
Does anyone know if there is a BAPI or function module to do this?

HI Michael,
This cookbook gives an example of how to link a BO to record automatically. You can probably use the same concept
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/40be7649-72f7-2c10-03b9-c85d56eff2e5?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
BAPIs SRM_RECORD_ADDELEMENT & SRM_RECORD_ADDELEMENTS can be used to add one or more than one elements in a record.
Please note that if adding an object to arecord is one processing step in a bigger process which may need access to same record again & again then it is better to use record APIs(methods of IF_SRM_SP_RECORD) . BAPIs should be used for one off access to records since every BAPI opens record, makes changes & then closes record.
For a bigger process which requires access to same record again & again, opening & closing records so many times becomes costly for performance.
Thanks & Regards,
Pragya
