Linking from Custom Store Banner to an article

Hi,
We have banners in our Custom Store and we'd like to link from the Banners to specific pages in certain folios.
The DPS documentation says we should be able to use this kind of link structure:
[URL Scheme]://v1/folio/[folio name]/[article name]
So where our app's URL scheme is : com.xxxx.yyy
and our folioname is: Financial Mail 17012014
and our article name is: Article on page 6
we've constructed a link like this:
<a href='com.xxxx.yyy://v1/folio/Financial%20Mail%2017012014/Article%20on%20page%206'>URL scheme</a>
Unfortunately we get this alert box: Error We're sorry. This article is currently not available for this device.
We can successfully link to a custom slot in our app like this:
<a href='com.xxxx.yyy://v1/slot/Store'>Store</a>
so i'm guessing our problem lies in the second half of our link. and that our URL scheme is working fine.
- the folio mentioned is downloaded on the device (iPad)
- the app is not live - still a dev ipa installed on the device
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Vauneen

We figured this one out.
You must use the Article Name and not the Article Title.
<a href='com.xxxx.yyy://v1/folio/Financial%20Mail%2017012014/FM1701Page006'>support</a>
But it seems DPS doesnt handle deeplinking to articles in folios not present on the device very gracefully.
we presumed DPS would offer either a explanation message or perhaps even an impression (charged to the client like the webhosted pages used for Social Sharing) but neither of these happen if the folio is absent. the user is taken to the Library landing page with no explanation.
We thought we could tease buyers and promote certain content in our Store Banner, but this doesnt seem so likely now - at least not with a link.
Perhaps in future this could be a feature?'

How to navigate from custom store to library?

Is there any way to navigate from custom HTML store or any other web views to either Default Library or Custom Library?

There is a workaround. If you specify a URL Scheme for your app, creating a link to that scheme displays the library. There is an example of this method in the Advanced Linking article in the DPS Tips app.

Link from Web Content overlay to another article

Thinking caps on, guys. I am trying to reduce the overall size of a folio that contains a pop-out panel (a two-state MSO) that reveals image thumbnails in a vertical scrolling content frame. Each thumbnail is a button that takes the user to another article in the folio. The panel is repeated across all articles, which is handy for the user but wasteful in file size.
In theory, I ought to be able to reduce the file size of the pages containing these panels if I was to replace the vertical scrolling content frame with a tall Web Content frame that would point to an appropriately designed HTML doc in HTMLResources.zip. This would minimise repetition of all those thumbnails.
The problem, if you haven't already guessed it, is that DPS does not allow you to link from a Web Content overlay to folio articles. The 'navto://' convention simply won't work in this scenario.
Is there ANY way to jump a Web Content frame to other locations in the folio? A non-standard, non-supported workaround would do me just fine.
Thanks for reading this far.
Ali

Ali - Check out the new "Linking" article in the Advanced Overlays issue of DPS Tips. It explains how to use an unsupported method for cross-folio linking. I explained how to create buttons with this format, but the same format would work using <a href="URL"> in HTML.
Johannes also breaks down this method here:

Removing Product Libraries (OEXOEHDR, OEXOELIB) links from CUSTOM.PLL

Im unable to remove attached product libraries from CUSTOM.PLL. After removing (OEXOEHDR, OEXOELIB) in Oracle Forms Builder Im recompiling and saving. If I reopen the same custom.pll, deleted libraries are still attached.
Any one encountered this problem? Please reply.

Call logical link from custom view on BP_HEAD

I added a custom view to BP_HEAD in which I display invoices from another system. By clicking on invoice number I need to open VF03 with that invoice. I am able to open the actual transaction VF03.
However, I am not able to pass the invoice number and open specific invoice that i click on in my view. I think I need to use
create_bor_based method. However, I am not sure how do I pass parameters to it.
lv_obj_type = 'VBRK' ?
lv_obj_key = Actual Invoice No?
lv_ui_objtype?
CALL METHOD cl_crm_ui_descriptor_obj_srv=>create_bor_based
      EXPORTING
        iv_bor_object_type = lv_obj_type
        iv_bor_object_key   = lv_obj_key
        iv_logical_system   = lv_logical_system
        iv_ui_object_type   = lv_ui_objtype
        iv_ui_object_action = 'B'
*       iv_component        =
      RECEIVING
        rr_result           =   lv_descriptor_object.
Below is code taken from outbound plug for Invoice Number. This code opens up transaction VF03. Now I need to pass the Invoice Number to this transaction to open specific invoice:
DATA: lo_nav       TYPE REF TO if_crm_ui_navigation_service.
DATA: lo_link      TYPE REF TO if_bol_bo_property_access.
DATA: lr_window            TYPE REF TO cl_bsp_wd_window.
* get service for navigation
lo_nav = cl_crm_ui_navigation_service=>get_instance( ).
CHECK lo_nav IS BOUND.
* navigate to destination
lo_nav->navigate( iv_link_id = 'ZSDINVOICE' ).
lo_nav->navigate( iv_link_id = 'ZSDINVOICE'
                           iv_data_collection = iv_data_collection ).
* lo_link ?=
*              cl_crm_uiu_bt_param_create=>if_ui_link_parameter_class~create_parameter_object(
*                                          iv_link_id   = 'ZSDINVOICE'
*                                          iv_parameter = '0385500008' ).
iv_data_collection->add( iv_entity = lo_link ).
IF iv_data_collection IS BOUND.
    lr_window ?= me->view_manager->get_window_controller( ).
    lr_window->call_outbound_plug( iv_outbound_plug = 'VBELN' iv_data_collection = iv_data_collection ).
ENDIF.

Here you go Maks
When you run the wizard thn you provide some class name and system will generate that class for you. You can edit the method IF_CRM_IC_ACTION_HANDLER~PREPARE_DATA_FLOW of the class to pass the parameter value.
Sample code for the same is:
me->set_container_data(
iv_name = gc_BP
iv_value = BP ).
Now you need to have the access of the BP no. from this address. Where ever you are confirming the BP, in that view create a global attribute and in DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT method set the BP value to the global method and in the Z class method mentioned above you can reterive the value
e.g. lv_partner_no = ZL_*_IMPL=>gv_partner_no.
BP = lv_partner_no.

What does one do when they get "secure link to itunes store has failed." got this while doing diagnostics test. clicked on help but just got a blank white window. original problem stems from inability to access the itunes store.

I got "secure link to itunes store failed" during a diagnostic test. unable to access itunes store and nothing i do works.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

How Do I Link to Custom Component States From Scrolling Content Buttons?

Hi there, I'm in need of some help as i've got a deadline to meet within the next few weeks and im stuck!
Basically what I've done is i've made a scrolling content lists, containing about 10 products in each one, my plan was to turn each product into a button so that users could click on that product, and take them to a new page containing more detailed information on that product; when they've finished looking at that product they can click a button to return them to the list they were on previously. However I can't just make a brand new state for each product as there is a limit to 20 states, and I will need around 50 of them.
So, from what i've read I will need to create custom components. the only trouble with doing this is that I can't link to the custom component on a different main timeline state (I dont get the option to link to the states of the custom component).
If i put the image of the detailed product into the scroll panel I am able to link to it, however, it's inside the scrolling content and it just scrolls around and stuff which isn't what I want; as it makes it look messy.
- Basically I just need to link from the buttons in the scrolling list, to a more detailed page for that product. Then be able to return to the list using a button.
If anybody has any input on how to achieve this, please help me out. Starting to panic now as this needs to be finished before september :s
Btw i'm happy to share my .fxp file it that helps.
Thanks alot, Hoping for some helpful replies on this topic
- Tom

Hi Tom,
Adding this back here to share my wireframe with the community.
Have put a quick .fxp together based on the 'product' section of your project.
Take a look at how the product lists are linking into the product detail pages within their custom components.
Using this model you should be able to expand out to infinite product detail states. If a particular product area has more than the maximum allowed states, just start a new custom component (part 2 for that product section).
Let me know if you have any questions. Hope this sets you on a path to getting your project complete. It's looking nice.

Is it possible to link from a Google Map to a DPS article?

Hey everybody,
I'm using DPS to produce an iPad travel magazine about Berlin. One feature shoul be a Google Map with all the Points Of Interest from the articles. I want to set links from the articles to the POIs which is possible as far as I know. But is it also possible to link thge other way round, from a POI tooltip in the Google Map to an article produced in DPS? The map will be entirely online.
Thanks for your help!
Timo

You can use social sharing URLs to link from the map to your DPS application, provided it is a multi-issue publication and not a Single Edition application.
The advantage to this approach is your readers will be able to see your DPS content even if they aren't on a mobile device, as the web viewer will render the content in those situations.

Repost: Still having problems w/ Safari 4 freezing from iTunes Store links

Hey all,
A week ago I posted about having problems with links from the iTunes store. A helpful user suggested I use the Onyx application to reset all caches, etc. I did, and my problem was solved...
... or so I thought. Within a day, a new iTunes store link froze Safari. I used Onyx again, and again it seemed to solve the problem. Until today, when again, iTunes store links freeze Safari.
I can't figure out what might be causing it. I've eliminated all Safari extraneous extension/plug-ins, and the websites I haven't been visiting any "weird" websites.
I'll describe the problem again to see if a fresh perspective can help.
Ever since the Safari 4 beta (I now have the full Safari 4), any iTunes store link will freeze Safari. The link could be a webloc from my hard drive, a link from another web page, anything. A new window/tab will open with the grey box that says, "Loading." This is where it freezes. I do not have a spinning beach ball, and right-clicking on the dock icon does not say Safari is unresponsive. However, Safari will not respond to commands. Clicking on the dock icon does not bring Safari to the front, and if I have Safari in front anyway, menu options will not work. I can't close the window, click in anything on said window, switch to another window... nothing. My only solution is to force quit.
For the record, I'm running Safari 4 on a Power Mac G4 (Quicksilver, yes, I know, it's ancient) with OS X 10.4.11. I have all the security updates.
Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated!!
Best,
George Garner

Take it somewhere that has better broadband. The best you can do sometimes is invest in new modem that works with your system instead of the rental etc in most cases.
Do a Safe Boot.
Make sure your firewall is set properly. Don't use 3rd party. AV software can get in the way.
Make sure you are getting the service and a clean strong modem signal - slow is one thing but if it drops off and can't maintain a connection you have hardware issues, not software - and upgrade to a new OS doesn't tend to improve, it may even not work with older networking equipment once you do get it.
I agree and think electronic only goes too far. And when you do get it: burn the package and manually set it aside first before running the intaller! make a flash memory installer, put it on DVDs too.

Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!
