Linked files and underlined text confusion

I'm running into some unexplained and strange behaviors in a simple Web page I just put up. The URL is http://www.elliottbaypipeband.com/Chunes/EBPBMusic/2011Music.html
Problem 1:
I've linked PDF files to text that describes the tune names. These links work fine. I've also linked "EP3" files to the little note icon that precedes the tune name. These links don't work. The different browsers report the linked file isn't found.
Problem 2:
There are four text containers on the page. The first line of text in the first one "Tunes of Glory", is displayed correctly without any underlining. The first line of text in the other three "Concert Music", "Competition Music", and "Legend" are all underlined. Similarly, all of the text in the Legend text container are underlined when viewed in a browser. Only the Comments one should be as it is linked to an email address.
I can't figure out these problems. Any ideas from the experts?
Thanks

I think I have sorted out these problems.
The EP3 linked file problem was a a file type not explicitly allowed on the Web server I was using. I can fix that.
I worked-around the odd font underlining by using a subtle shadow setting. Now the page looks like I want it to at lease in Safari. It seems that there are a number of quirks like this in iWeb. That's a little disappointing but certainly not a show stopper and not surprising. Software always has quirks.

Add layers from other psd file and retain text layers (Batch processing)

I want to batch process a large number of portraits adding text info from the filename (year_name_number.jpg) to existing text layers. I want to make a template psd file containg the correct labeled text layers formatted and adjusted (With bleding effects and more) How can i add layers from an other psd file to the active document and retaining the text layers editable. The place command in PS5 adds the file as a smart object, no use.
Any ideas?
I tried the combined action/script way, but no joy so far. Right now i am making the text layers with a action, then calling the script from the action. It works but its difficult to make different templates from adjusting a action.
The code i am using now (in combination with a action creating the 3 text layers and other grapchical elements)
var docRef = activeDocument;
// strip the extension off
var fileNameNoExtension = docRef.name;
fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.split( "_" );
if ( fileNameNoExtension.length > 1 ) {
fileNameNoExtension.length--;
fileNameNoExtension = fileNameNoExtension.join("_");
var myString = fileNameNoExtension;
var mySplitResult = myString.split("_");
var textLayer = docReflayers['Year']; // define the existing text layer to a var
docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
var T1 = textLayer.textItem;
T1.contents = mySplitResult[0]
var textLayer = docRef.layers['Name']; // define the existing text layer to a var
docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
var T2 = textLayer.textItem;
T2.contents = mySplitResult[1]
var textLayer = docRef.layers['Number']; // define the existing text layer to a var
docRef.activeLayer = textLayer;
textLayer.kind = LayerKind.TEXT;
var T3 = textLayer.textItem;
T3.contents = mySplitResult[2]
Thanks

Here is my intended workflow:
- A set of same size portraits labeled "year_name_number.jpg"
- A template.psd os same size with graphical elements and text layers (named "year", "name" and "number")
- A script or action copy/pasting og adding all layers from the template.psd file to the open portrait file, retaining text layers editable.
- A script (The one i have working) changing the text layers added from the template to text from the filename.
- A action saving this as a PDF ready for print.
This way i can process a large number of portraits, add names and other information and save it as a file ready for print.
I can image it is much easier to edit a template than writing a script or an action creating all the graphical elements.
And even better, to change this template for different customers/departments/logos.
Basically i need a way to add layers to an open file using a batch file or script.

OK I understand what your trying to do and now I do not agree with your conclusion you made in you first append about place being no good for you. Its is I think a perfect solution for you. I feel you need to address the process from a new angle.
I am very familiar with templates I use them all the time for collages which I populate with an actions. However I do not batch this process and my process is interactive. If you look at what your trying to do from the angle of creating a collage. You will see what you are trying to do is automate the population of a single image collage using a single template in a batch process. An example of one of my single image collage populated by one of my actions that has been saved as a jpeg image file. My actions are played in Photoshop with no document opened. After my action is play there is a single collage document in Photoshop that contains layers that can be tweaked all text is in text layers the can be edited.
If I wanted to automate the batch population of a single collage template I think all I would need to know is three thing.
1.) The location of the input images
2.) The full Path of the PSD template file.
3.) The location to store the output file
Looking at some of the recent threads in this forum I could almost cut and past the script you want to put together. There was a recent thread that had javascript code to process files in a folder and process only a list of file types. There also was a thread that had a place function in it to place images into the current document or create a new document to place the image into. The image was read from the web using a URL. This thread has code to change a text layer. At first I though you may need to open these image file to get at its meta-data to get the Portrait image Exif creation data. But see all you need is the Filename for it has the data you want the year and name. So the function that get the image files from the folder will give you that. The Script needs to Open the Template PSD file and retrieve the prototype text layers text content then the scrip needs a loop that get the next image file to be processed from the folder get filename function. In the loop the image files are place into the open template above a place holder layer like the Background layer. Then using the prototype text contents and the filename are used create the new content for the text layer and then change the text layers content to it. Follow that up with a save as for the output file. Once the output file is saved delete the placed smart object layer. When this loop ends the script will close the document with no save and end. As for the three inputs you need the script could either have a dialog like the images processor or simply prompt you for the folders and template file.

Link files and directories in e-mails

This has probably been asked before, but I cannot seem to find an answer out there...
We are a small company that keep all our project files on a shared server. Now I would like to be able to send an e-mail to someone within our company including a link to a specific file and/or directory on the server, without actually including the file as an attachment.
I.e.: Directory: /server/projects/wings/
File: /server/projects/wings/estimate.doc
When the recipient of the e-mail clicks the above links the [wings] folder and estiamte.doc file opens automatically.
What is the correct way of writing the link?
Have tried afp://XXXXXX
file://XXXXXX
but nothing seems to work...
(It would also be nice to be able to use these links in iCal.)
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

> file://XXXXXX
If this is an absolute path, the ‘/’ at the beginning is missing, i.e. an additional ‘/’ is needed. It should be:
file:///XXXXXX
Actually, the example you gave should be (note ‘/Volumes’ at the beginning):
file:///Volumes/server/projects/wings/estimate.doc

Placed Files and Copied Text not Appearing in Links Palette

I am working on an annual report.
The report is a booklet. I'm using master text boxes. The report is basically one, long flowing stream of text. Within this there are many articles, divided by headings.
I'm receiving articles for this annual report from many different sources, text within emails, Word documents, etc.
I have the "Create Links When Placing Text and Spreadsheet Files" checked.
I'm having this issue:
Nothing is appearing in my Links palette.
When I go to File>Place, and place a Word document in as an article within my report, it doesn't appear in the link palette. When I copy text in from a Word document, it doesn't appear in the link palette.
However, when I place the Word document in the annual report within it's own text box, THEN it appears in the links palette.
But I don't want each Word document within it's own text box, I want it to be a part of the other text flow within the report.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Can't InDesign retain the link to the document even if the text is placed within a larger body of text flow?

No. It's not possible to maintain a link to text that's not in its own text frame.
What would happen if you were to edit the text in the frame, and part of the text affected was linked and part was not. What would you expect to happen? Such a workflow isn't possible as far as I know.

Multipart/form-data using HTTPService, sending a binary file and some text in the same request.

Hi There,
         I am new to FLEX and also new to writing a client for a web service.
My question is more about flex (Flash builder 4.5) APIs, what APIs to use.
I want to access a web service, that's published here.
https://build.phonegap.com/docs/write_api
here is the description of webservice
===========
1) I have to do a post on POST https://build.phonegap.com/api/v1/apps
2) content type has to be "multipart/form-data"
3) JSON bodies of requests are expected to have the name 'data'
data will be someting like this
'data={"title":"API V1 App","package":"com.alunny.apiv1","version":"0.1.0","create_method":"file"}'
4) include a zip file in the multipart body of your post, with the parameter name 'file'.
===========
I want to make a 'multipart/form-data' Post and send
one string and one zip file.
My first question to self was If i send both string + binary data in the body ...
how will server understand where string end and where zip file starts?
Then read on W3.org( http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.2 )
How is text + binary data can be sent through "multipart/form-data" post requst.
there has to be some boundries.
After this I read and example in flex and tried following it.

In the past I have used URLVariables with URLRequest and URLLoader to achieve this kind of requirement.
Check out http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=17_Networking_and_communications_3 .html which should be useful. My preference has always been to use this style instead of HTTPService objects, giving you a little more control which is what you need here.
Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Linked files and working with a team

We are using InDesign in a team environment where the INDD files get worked on by several different people. The projects are organized within a single folder
/project/this-project.indd
/project/images_envirnoments/
/project/images_people/
/project/PSD/
etc
Obviously when we move the /project folder to someone else's machine they have to re-link at least once for each folder that contains a set of images. Is there a way to get around this? I searched the forums and found reference to and InDesign Server but can't find it as a product anywhere. Seems odd that there is no solution for collaboration with InDesign? Using latest CC of InDesign in mixed Mac/PC environemnt.

Yeah, I saw this response in the forums when others had asked a similar question. However, those inquiries where a few versions of INDD ago and I thought there might now be a solution. I'll assume there is not.
Not everyone can connect to the server when working remotely. CC doesn't allow you to share project files on their share and DrobBox-like solutions don't have nearly enough space for our projects.

Power shell search one column of a csv file and replace text in that column

I have a huge CSV file.
Column J has number which represents states.
I would like to search through column J of output.csv and replace the number with the state name.
J
State
233
219
233
210
Becomes
J
State
NC
TN
NC
SC
I have tried several methods that seem to do noting or erase everything in my csv file or at best searches every column and if a phone number has 210 in it, it changes it to SC.
Can any one point me in the correct location?
Thanks!
R White

Thanks so much
I gave it a try using this
Import-Csv C:\temp\outfile.csv| ForEach-Object {
if ($_.State.tostring() -like '256') { $_.State.tostring().replace('256', 'Somethingelse256')}
if ($_.State.tostring() -like '257') { $_.State.tostring().replace('257', 'Somethingelse257xx')}
} | export-csv C:\temp\outfileNEW.csv
it produced a C:\temp\outfileNEW.csv
with only a column A that had this all the way down it

Include text file and display from text file

Ok. I'm found the site with the monkey on the the flash thing and all it shows is a name, email and something else and I used it and it works by including a txt file and displaying text from that file as putting down this information
name.text = this.name;
and I can't find the site anymore to get help.
I want to know how to include a PHP script that shows this information like this
text=something I need&username=My Name&email=[email protected]
I want to show this stuff on the flash but every time I execute by using it as localhost/test.php, it will show a sentax error.
This is really stressing me out and I need a lot of help on this stuff.
Can someone help me?

ok. let me describe something else.
there's 3 text boxes that is dynamic text.
one of them is called name
the other one is called email
and last one is called location
in the text file, it shows this for importing to the flash file
name=My Name&email=EMAIL&location=My Location
When viewing the flash file that you created, it shows the name, it shows the email, and it shows location.
When I do it on my own even with a text file, it keeps on saying that there is an error on line 1.
I found a site that shows how to do it and it shows what to put in a text file, and it shows the action script. On the FLA file that he shows me has a monkey on the flash file and it has 3 text boxes that I described above. As well as the text file, it is the same. I used the example and it worked but I can't find the example again. I don't know what happened to the website and I don't know what happened to the download I had but it is not downloaded any more. I have adanced systemcare pro so it clears out my recent web searches and my recent downloads so I can't find it. I did a google search on anything about action scripts. I even did a monkey action script search and I couldn't find it.
It's making me mad and I don't know what to do. This is stressing me out way more than you think.
UPDATE:
I did a google search on a file I found in my www folder and I found it. finally.
Here's the site.
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm
now, I need to figure out how to load it from a PHP file.

Adding Symbols and Underlining using FCP Text Generators

Hello:
I would like to add the © symbol to FCP text and underline text. How is this possible? Thanks.

Underline and scroll could be a bit tricky. You woud have to move two separate elements -the text and the underline generator together. I suppose you could nest them and apply a move to both at the same time if its just a short piece, it gets complicated when that has to appear somewhere in the middle of a longer scroll.
I prefer to make a still in Photoshop for scrolls and move the whole thing with only two keyframes.
You just need to make a Photoshop canvas that is tall enough to hold all the text. Photoshop also supports the underline function (in the Paragraph palette).
In LiveType, you can type a row of hyphens below your text and adjust the Tracking to squash them together make a solid line, then adjust the Leading value to move it into position.

INDESIGN AND LINKED FILES FOR VERSIONNING

Hi Everyone,
Despite the fact Indesign is an amazing tool, i'm very frustrated about the way images links are managed, and especially when you copy a folder that contains indesign files linked to images.
When you want to make a new version of your files, by copying the original folder with all files, the copy of the original indesign file is still recognizing the linked images in the original folder and not the images in the new folder.
To force Indesign to check the path of the images in the new folder and to update links with the new images, the only way i found is to change the name of the original folder.
I get the same problem with an indesign book linked with many different individual indesign files.
i know there is a solution to package all images in the same folder, but this way will lot keep the structure of my folders and my files.
As relinking manually each file could be a nightmare, i wonder if someone know a solution to avoid this ?
Thanks a lot

This seems to me to be in direct opposition to what you just said. Either you want one central repository for your linked files where you keep single copies organized in some way that makes sense to your workflow, or you want individual copies of each linked file that is used only for that particular version. If you want only one linked file that is reused, you want any copied .indd file to continue to use the old path. If you want to modify linked files and have the modified files available only to the current version, packaging is a viable option.
It sounds to me like you would like ID to use relative links rather than absolute. That's not the way it works now, but you can make a feature request at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Moving js and embed code into linked files

Hello all,
I am trying to "optimize" some of my web pages by moving as
much code as possible into linked files. I'm using Flash 8 in
conjunction with Dreamweaver 8. I am also employing some DW
behaviors, like swap image, that generate javascript.
I am wondering if it's possible to put the javascript code
and all the code thats generated to embed Flash movies into a page
into a linked file, and if so, how?
Any direction will be much appreciated,
Scott

Content of linked files in a inDesign-document refuses to update when edited.

The problem:
I have a question about linked files in an inDesign-document.
We have a indesign-file (indd) wich contains text, linked map-illustrations and ads.
One of the linked maps gets changed by an external map-producer via an VPN-tunnel. He works directly on one of the existing linked files (a map), and does not change the name or location of it after editing.
After the change, we open the indd-file again, but no dialog-window appears telling us that a link needs to be updated. So we do it manually, but the changed content doesn't get updated in inDesign.
If we target the linked file and choose to open it in illustrator for editing, all of the changes that was ment to be there, still is. It just doesn't show up in indesign. This also shows that the linking isn't the problem.
The file is only placed at one spot in the document.
Workaround:
1. If WE (not the external map-producer) open the linked file and save it again (same name, same location), inDesign instantly promts us to update the link and the graphics updates without problem.
2. If we place the file in a another location of the same inDesign-file, the correct content shows. (But still, the existing one does not update.)
Question:
Is there any way you can think of that could make this happen?
If so, How can we solve it without having to use the workarounds?

This will work if you all use the file syncing of the Creative Cloud desktop application and then you use the Collaborate option for the folder containing all the files. Then it will work on each of your desktops.
Links to files will not work in the browser when viewing the InDesign document from https://creative.adobe.com/files.

Can't download linked file anymore?

I just recently bought a new PowerBook G4 and gave my mom my old one. Anyway, I was on Safari tonight and I discovered that I can no longer download a linked file and that whenever I want to hear a clip of a song in Safari, it doesn't play. I'm confused about this considering I don't think it should be any different from my previous Mac. Any ideas? Thanks!

Apparently, the iPhone starts downloading the movie with Edge, downloads 4 seconds, then switches to WiFi and stops downloading. If I turn WiFi off, YouTube videos download fine with Edge.
WiFi works fine for maps, emails, safari.....
Not sure why it won't work for youtube movies.
UPDATE: even with WiFi on, and the iPhone using WiFi to start downloading the movie, it stops after 3 seconds.
