Linking to a URL

I want to display a YouTube video on a slide, but I cannot
figure out how to enter the URL and the embed command in order to
do this. Also, how do I link to a Web site or URL other than after
someone makes a last attempt to click the right click box?

Hi MMDeaton
Are you using Captivate 2?
I don't believe you will be able to do this if the YouTube
video isn't in .FLV format. The only video format that I've seen
"embedded" inside Captivate in the manner you are describing is the
.FLV format. So I suppose you would first need to convert the
YouTube video to .FLV.
Assuming it already exists on YouTube in .FLV format and you
are using Captivate 2, the process should be pretty
straightforward. You click Insert > Flash Video... and point at
the URL for the video.
You link to Web Sites and URLs using either Button or Click
Box objects. I'm not sure what you meant to imply with your
statement, as normally you would either position the invisible
Click Box object over a logical area to be clicked or the Button
does indeed look like a button they click. Your statement sounds as
if users are fumbling around without the faintest clue as to what
to click. If that's the case, they need more visual cues.
Sincerely... Rick

Image with a Link to an URL

Hi,
I have an easy question. I would like to have a little question mark-image on my view. And this image has an link to an url. So I would like to push this image, and a new browser-window opens.
I only found the Layout-element "LinkToUrl". But with this element I don't have an image.
How does it works in Webdynpro? In HTML it is very easy...

Hi,
Change the layout to grid type and then scroll down. You will find "layout[GridLayout]" set col count here to the number equal to total number of buttons + 2.
Then click on link and in the properties scroll down and set col span = 2.
and hAlign = right.
this will do the required.
and the flowdata is coming in your container's properties because this container is also present in one of the transparent container which is having layout as flow layout.
Regards,
Sarbjeet.

APEX... Link to open URL in a new window

I have one of my interactive reports' column linked to a URL... so when my user click on the link it opens an associated webpage...
How can I make it to open in a new window...
Thanks

Hi,
I am trying to open my page as a popup without refreshing the parent window.
Here is what i have done
1. created a navigation bar entry for help
2. pointed the entry to a page in the application
3. opening the page as a popup with the following code in it.
javascript:window.open('&WORKSPACE_IMAGES.APEX_Reporting_User_Guide.pdf#&P0_PAGE_NAME.','popup1');
my help page opens as a popup, but also refreshes the parent window with a blank screen.
i also tried a few other options
javascript:window.open('&WORKSPACE_IMAGES.APEX_Reporting_User_Guide.pdf#&P0_PAGE_NAME.','popup1');void(0);
javascript:window.open('&WORKSPACE_IMAGES.APEX_Reporting_User_Guide.pdf#&P0_PAGE_NAME.','popup1');return false;

Dispute Case - Linked Objects- Various- URL

Hello,
We have a requirement to create a Dispute Case through a custom interface program. We have been doing this using BAPI_DISPUTE_CREATE.
Now, I need to programmatically link a URL to Dispute Case -> Linked Objects->Various->URL. An custom element type for u2018URLu2019 was configured in the Registry for this in our SAP system.
This is usually achieved programatically using the tables parameter OBJECTS of the BAPI. We have to pass the OBJ TYPE & KEY to this parameter.
Since configuration does not allow the BOR_TYPE to be defined on tab u2018Connection Parametersu2019 of the Element Type URL in the Registry, what OBJTYPE and KEY works for this?
Thanks,
Smitha/Aneel

Hello Andy,
I have a question. We're also trying to use BAPI_DISPUTE_CREATE in order to create dispute cases, but the function needs a unique GUID number in order to create the dispute case. How did you manage to maintain this guid number?
Because of this problem, we started using the function UDM_DC_CREATE, which generates a GUID itself, if you do not maintain one.
Sorry for the inconveince, the problem was because of a wrong attribute, I can create a dispute case with this function without maintaining the guid id.

Link to local url

I want to link to a url that will be local on the CD. I am
using toToNetPage "myUrl", "_new"
but when clicked for the first time if the browser is not
already running I get a blank untitled page or tab. Click it again
and I get the page OK but this will likely be confusing for users.
Anyone come across this or have fix
Thanks

I have seen that before, and I have never found an adequate
solution.
Instead, I have begun using BuddyAPI for this function. You
can use the
command:
baOpenURL(myURL,"normal")
And it works much better and more consistently. You can use
up to 2
functions of BuddyAPI for free. You can download it from
www.mods.com.au/budapi

Trying to add a lightbox slideshow caption link to a url hosed my site.

In the lightbox slideshow caption I tried to add an html link to the url of the image and now the all the slide show are hosed. It didn't link from the caption text but was embedded into the sllde show so that all the thumbnails linked to the same url.I even created a new slideshow from scratch and it still linked to the url. Do I have to rebuild the whole site? How and where do look to find the hyperlink to remove it?

Please try to select the caption and remove the link from hyperlink dropdown in top bar menu in Muse.
If this is not the case , post screenshots from design view.
Thanks,

I feel like a rookie but, can someone tell me how to create links to external URLs in Muse?

I want to attach the link to text which gives the name of the site. I am not an idiot, just unfamiliar with the program. I have looked through the learning videos but cannot find anything that specifically relates to my question. I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you, in advance, for any assistance.

I am unable to open the screen shots as I keep getting a message saying that I am not using the correct program. Can you tell me which program I should use? Thank you.

IR Report "Link" Attibute Custom URL Escape : (colon) Character

<h2>I am running Apex 4.0.2 and have an interactive report page 242 with a result set.</h2>
Scenario
In the "Report Attributes" "Link" settings I want to link the report to a 'Custom URL' target to take the user from this IR Report Page 242 to page 243 to a 'Single Record Data Entry Form'
I am setting the value of the custom url target as:
f?p=&APP_ID.:243:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:243:P243_NAME,P243_DESCRIPTION,P243_LOCATION:#SOURCE_NAME#,#DESCRIPTION#,#LOCATION#:The P243_LOCATION column, however, has a ':' colon and a '.' values in the database column itself with a value of *'jdbc:Host123.abcd'*
When the user clicks on the link the FULL location column is truncated before the ':' - OBVIOUSLY due to ':' being the paremeter separator column in apex
So, the #LOCATION# value on Page 242 IR Report containing a value of *'jdbc:Host123.abcd'* is trunced on the called page 243 as 'jdbc' only and truncated prior to the ':' value contained in the field.
Question:
HOW Can I build the above URL so that the ':' can be visible on the Page 243 form field? with the full value passed into the called page with a value of: *'jdbc:Host123.abcd'* ?
I tried the SYS.htf_esc(#LOCATION#) around the calling URL above, but doesn't work as expected.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
VSK

Hi,
You can not escape colons but you can pass commas in the url. Enclose the item value in \item_value\ to escape the "," in the item value . For colons, I would suggest creating a hidden field in the source report with SQL REPLACE function and replace all the colons with any other character like ||. Then you can use the same replace function on the target page to match with the new item value.
Hope it helps. Thanks.

Manish

A new line is showing up on messages I receive. It's seems to be a row of links, including a URL to (maybe) the msg source. How do I get rid of it?

On my incoming messages, under my toolbars & above the msg header, is a new line. It sort-of looks like another toolbar, but different. It reads from left to right and each word is highlighted white:
Back Forward Refresh URL: ___________________ Go
Each of these words except for "URL:" are in boxes as if they are links but they don't work like links.
What is this and how do I get it off my incoming messages?
Thanks, nanciewanda

I have no idea. Perhaps you could post the troubleshooting information so we can have a better look at what is going on.
Click the Help menu (Alt+H) and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the menu.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
*At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.

Blog & Podcast pages link to dead URL Page

I've published my new website to a folder, uploaded the data to a non .mac website. Everything works fine, except the blog and the podcast. The blog and podcast main page both appear, but when I click on a story or media selection, I get a URL not found. Checking my site with an FTP client, I can see all the files. However, no matter what I do, the links always go to a dead url page and states Not Found. I find it odd that the whole site works but the blog and podcast archive.
Any work arounds or suggestions?

Oooooh but URL length does make a difference. Thanks for your help.
I did fix one podcast, but what an undertaking. See link:
http://www.cops-clan.org/web/Podcast/D7CDDCDEAD27.html
Now I must rant:
Alpha-numerical URLs automatically generated by iweb for the blog & podcast archives are to long for some non .mac websites. This causes a Not Fond error message. Since I bought iweb for its simplicity, this software cannot fix the inherent problem either. What I have to do, is use Adobe GoLive 6 to shorten the automatically generated URL number strings of all my blog messages and podcasts. However, I'm still not done. I further more have to go into each blog & podacst HTML file and shorten all the links found there too. Quite an undertaking just to post a message. On my other website located on the same server, I run a Serendipity Blog which runs trouble free. Also, the Serendipity Blog is free and has more functionality.... Go figure. Since all I wanted was a simple cookie cutter website and a no fuss blog, the work around is not worth the effort. I think I will have to dump iweb... this is very disappointing.

Linking to a URL or file

I have an issue with specifying a URL or File name in Properties/Action/On Success.
I want to link a video to another video, both of which are in the same directory folder.
After I type in the path name and publish the project, I test it on my C drive and all works well.
I then move the published file and the linked video (published) file to another drive, and the link doesn't work any more.
On the error message I see that it's trying to access my C drive and not the new drive.
Eventually I need to put copies of these file on two different servers and I don't want to constantly updated the URL/File name to do so.
When I create a web page with hyperlinks and move them to another drive, the links dynamically regenerate. This is not happening with Captivate.
Does anyone have a solution or work around?

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, you have posted to the PrElements forum. PrE is a consumer-level video editing program.
You want to post to the InDesign Forurm instead.
Good luck,

Archive Link and external URL Link

Hi,
we use Archive Link, NO own documents (like CV01N,..). We want to define different document types (oac2) and link them to via url to an external webserver, the user should see the doc in the normal attachment list.
Doc Typ    url
DOC1        http://www.xsfd.wer/show?...
DOC2        http://www.ssdfs.ver/show?
In oac0 (definition content rep) there is an subtyp called "URL", looks like it could be this kind of rep? All solutions and hints I found where based on DMS/KPRO not ArchiveLink. I don't want to use link to external Document via GOS.
Regards,
Christian

Dear all,
no, I found no solution to access automatically! And I was not able to find a definition of the "URL" Repository.
Best regards,
christian

Workcenter group link to call URL in new browser

Hi,
using the transaction launcher i configured a workcenter group link to call an URL in a new browser window.
This works.
The requirement is now that in the CRM L-shape the opened workcenter should stay.
At the moment to workcenter is gone at the moment i click this external URL link for the new browser window and i have to navigate back.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards
Manfred

Hi,
thank you - i know the stateful flag and used it.
But i want the current CRM workcenterpage to stay and not to change.
Thank you
Kind regards
Manfred
