Navigation Buttons, and Branching

I have a project with about 100 slides. I originally didn't expect to have to do any "Branching," so I thought I'd just use a standard skin for navigation. Turns out that I am now requuired to branch to some optional information, and return when done. I had a smaller project where I just went in and added buttons to go back and forth, and jump around. I dread the thought of having to do that again with all 100 slides.
Is there a way to add a button to all slides at once, or disable the back and forward buttons on the skin, for just one or two slides?
By the way, I've read on this forum that you can have the user go back to where he left off, when he jumped to the branch and returned. For the life of me, I can't find info on how to accomplish this.

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. You can manage branching between slides through the branching panel. It can be accessed through Window>Branching View. You can refer to the below mentioned links for further help:
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2011/08/captivate-training-let%E2%80%99s-explore-the-bran ching-view-in-adobe-captivate-5-5.html
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/captivate/cp/using/WSedb8e841cbc0b796-7e01079512800b31423-8000 .html
Coming to your other questions, you cannot use a button to all the slides at once but you can instead use Master Slides for such purpose. You can insert a Smart Shape on your Master Slide and use it as a button from the Properties pane on the right hand side. You can disable the back and forward buttons on the playbar through skin editor but unfortunately they will be disabled for the entire project.
Hope the above information helps!
Thanks!

How can I copy and edit navigation buttons and anchors to remain consistent?

I have inherited a web site and I'm just getting started. I need to add navigation buttons that look like the ones already used on severalpages on my site. How do I reproduce these navigation buttons? I have attached one as an example. Thanks for helping such a rookie.

Sue,
Some very friendly advice here. Stop what you're doing. Put down the mouse. Walk into the boss's office or phone the client and tell them their current website is a flaming disaster. It uses frames which makes the site overly complicated and difficult for site visitors to use. To add further insult, the site is constructed so poorly as to be un-navigable. I can't even see the lower menu in Firefox 3.0.10 on XP. Seriously, this needs to be rebuilt ASAP without frames and with a navigation system that doesn't suck. In the long-run, a good CSS menu would be much simpler for you (and the next poor soul who inherits this site) to work with.

Navigation button and Web Elements with Crystal XIr2

I'm very new to Web Elements. I have a Crystal XI report that contains several subreports, each on a new page. Is it possible to place forward and back buttons on the report for better navigation. From this forum I here much talk about using the hyperlinks. Are navigation buttons possible?
Thanks in advance

hello...actually that would just be subreport linking...i know...too many linking methods to keep track of
after reading what you wish to do (drill into a subreport and then try to get back to the main report) this will not be possible with report part linking...it only works if you are not drilled into a subreport. report part linking can be used to link back and forth between main report parts...for example you can put a text object on a report footer to bring the end user back to the report header...again, without reposting the report.
in your case you'll want to use opendocument linking to get back to the report. create a link that will repost the same report. or if you want a button, you can use webelements to do that. a simple formula example would be
stringvar path:=
WETargetPath("rpt" , "Name", "yourreportsname", "");
WESubmitButton ("start over", path, "")

Visited link colors shows on navigational buttons and icon despite not visited

Hello! I (newbie) have problems in my very first website. Some of my navigational buttons at my footer section and the icon on the lower left shows the visited link color green despite I haven't visited any of the link. There are times these colors are all blue (unvisited links). My URL is http://www.jespir.com. Please help and thank you in advance.

I have the same CSS coding.
Nowhere that I can see.
Open global.css file. Change this:
a:link {
    color: #00F;
a:visited {
    color: #0C0;
a:hover {
    color: #FF0;
a:active {
    color: #CAE0EC;
to this:
a img {border:none}
a {text-decoration:none}
a:link {color: #00F;}
a:visited {color: #0C0;}
a:hover {color: #FF0;}
a:active, a:focus {color: #CAE0EC;}
Remove this from your embedded CSS code. You don't need it.
a:link {
text-decoration: none;
a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
a:active {
text-decoration: none;
Save both documents and upload to server.

Navigation Button and Apps World

For some months now the navigation button has not worked and I find myself using the touch-screen and enter-button.
Also my Blackberry Apps world has disappeared? I am unable to download firther apps?

Hi stephen789uk and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Do you receive any response from your trackpad at all when using it? Have you done a battery pull to see if the trackpad works upon reboot?
I would also recommend making sure you have the latest version of BlackBerry Device Software avaiable. Plug your device into your PC then go to www.blackberry.com/update to install any updates available.
Thanks.

Override navigation buttons for branching slides?

Hello,
I'm developing a lesson in Captivate 5.5 that uses a navigation bar throughout (forward/back arrows, progress bar, etc.); however, I created a branching activity in which I don't want users to be able to navigate using the forward/back arrows. Is it possible to override the navigation bar on individual slides, or is there an Advanced Action that I can create in order to accomplish this?
The issue is that the activity is branching, but not locked; in other words, learners can get halfway into the activity and decide to jump out and continue on with the lesson. If they do this, when they click the forward arrow they'll have to view all remaining slides in the activity before reaching the true "next" slide in the lesson. I've created custom "continue with lesson" buttons, but the issue with the forward/back button being active still remains...
Any thoughts are much appreciated!

Hello,
Is this on of the Captivate playbars? There is a system variable cpCmndShowPlaybar. Its default value = 1, which means the playbar is visible. You can set it to 0 on entering the slide where it should be hidden, and again set it to 1 where to display. No need for an advanced action, this system variable is available in the dropdown list in the Action accordion of the Slide properties. Choose Assign as action for On Enter, then from the dropdown list select the system variable

Disable Navigation Button and Variation Option In report S_ALR_87013614

Dear Friends,
I have one an issue with Standard Report S_ALR_87013614,
In this report (standard) normally displayed Navigation tab on left hand corner in the oput format for expanding the report...in our case that tab is appreard in active mode
Please give me an Idea
Thanks
Suresh Polineni

Hi Kamlesh,
the variation is set to 'do not explode' in the report 1SLK-001 (S_ALR_87013614)
You can check this using the following path in transaction GRR3 (library 1VK) report 1SLK-001:
Menu: Edit -> Variation, you will see that the variation is set to 'Do not explode'.
This is why navigation between the different reports or variation is not
available in this report, (the icons are greyed out).
Iif you wish to have this functionality, then you can copy the report and change
the variation as follows:
-> via GRR1 create a copy of the standard report using report 1SLK-001 as
    a reference, ('Copy from'-field).
-> in this new report you can then via Edit->Variation change 'Cost Element
     from 'Do not explode' to 'explode', and CO area from 'Do not explode'
     to 'Variation sing. val'."

Greta

Firefox doesn'tshow navigation buttons and other features.

Buttons to move forward the email, and other features are absent from the screen and there are blanks where features should be.

Doing a downgrade is not anything I have done or feel comfortable with. Is there a clean procedure to accomplish this?

Navigation buttons and many such icons show up like a add-on bar during start-up

The icons show up for just a few seconds at the bottom of the browser window.
Here is the screenshot

Try start Firefox in Safe Mode, maybe the problem be an addon:

Browser Back Button and form navigation

Some times when you use browser back button and adf-taskflow navigation buttons, validation on form fails, witout having made any change even with enabled token validation.
Reproduction steps on HR schema:
1. Create QueryDepartment and EditDepartment Views and navigation rules in adfc-config.xml
2 Create ADF view only table page for QueryDepartment selectable, and add navigation button to go to EditDepartment
3. Create EditDepartment form with navigation buttons and button to navigate back to QueryDepartment
test:
1.Run QueryDepartment and select a department
2.Go to Edit Department using navigation button
3.Navigate to next department pressing the 'Next' button
4.Navigate back using the Browser Back button.
5.Try to navigate back to QueryDepartment using the navigation button.
My result is validation error on DepartmentId field 'Error: JBO-25013: '
Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

Hi,
maybe I don't get it, but as I understood you have problem with focus on select button. So why don’t you set focus onLoad on another element of your page?
Something like onload=”$x(‘ELEMENT_NAME’).focus()”;

Hosting and navigation buttons

Hi all. I'm really liking Edge reflow as it's a nice and easy way of designing a site, but I'm stuck at something: How can I make navigation buttons and will it be possible to use the files of the website to put the site online? If so, how can I do this?
Excuse my ignorance, I have zero web skill.

Edge Reflow is not meant to build a complete website. The word 'reflow' says it all, this tool is meant to design a page that reflows nicely on various screen sizes (tablet, phone, desktop,...). As of now it's not possible to link elements to pages, thus making it impossible to use Edge Reflow to create a website consisting of more than one page.

How do I create more than one navigation button in Adobe Fireworks CS6?

Hi guys,
Apologies if this comes across as very stupid question. I am a complete beginner with Adobe Fireworks and I'm in the process of creating my first website and I have got to the stage where I want to create navigation buttons and the book I have recommends using Adobe Fireworks so I have downloaded. My problem I have encountered is after I have created my first two state button what is the next step to create another two state button which has the identical size and colour of the previous two state button?
Here is a brief rundown of the steps I have done to do the first two state button:
1) Edit-Insert-New Button
2) Chose the rectangle and then specified the width and height of the button and chose my stroke and fill colour
3) Centred the button and used the text tool to put the button as a 'Home' button for my website. I then went on Window and Align in order to centre the text on the button
4) I went on Select-Select All and then went on Windows-States to open the states panel. I right clicked on state 1 which is Up and clicked on copy to states. I then selected the next state radio button and clicked OK.
5) I selected State 2 and slightly modified it by changing the colour of the text.
6) I then clicked the back button to return to the main window.
After this what step should I take to create my another button which has the same size, colour and text style as I have created for the first button? I tried just repeating these steps again but when I do step 1 it creates a new fireworks document which means I have to create the buttons size, colour, text style from scratch.
Your help would be greatly appreciated guys and once again I do apologise if this comes across as a silly question.
PS Please could you let me know if the steps I have taken to create the 1st two state button are correct

Initially you need to configure via the provider's own web based control panel multiple e-mail accounts. If they don't have one, work it out with their customer support to have three distinct mail accounts. Then you can setup multiple logins by adding new accounts to mail. Since mail checks all accounts per Mac OS X user account simultaneously, it probably is best to use different usernames on the same internet provider. If you don't want mail to show all the information from all three mail accounts simultaneously, configure Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts to have multiple users on your computer, and configure each of the internet service provider accounts for each separaet user on Mac OS X.

How do I get pop-up windows to show the navigation buttons (not just the address box)?

When I click on a link that opens a new firefox window, the new window shows a navigation toolbar that does not include the back, forward, stop, and home buttons (it only shows the internet address box). However, the original firefox window that I navigated away from shows all of the navigation buttons AND the address bar. How do I get these new firefox windows to show the navigation buttons in addition to the address box that automatically appears?

Print, Export and Page Navigation Buttons in the Report

When I view a report through CR4E, the generated report has 3 buttons namely Print, Export and Page Navigation buttons. But when I click on either of the buttons I get a 'null pointer exception'. This is a critical error as I am unable to navigate past the first page. Do I have to add code to these buttons? If not, why am I getting an error? Kindly solve my problem as soon as possible.

Looking at your code it appears that you are storing the ReportSource in session prior to passing in the ResultSet. This will create a problem when a postback is made on the viewer page (which all of the viewer actions do). If you look at the sample code which is generated when you use the JSP Page Wizard you will notice that the ResultSet is passed to the ReportClientDocument object prior to it being stored in session. Then, when the page is called again this object is retrieved and the ReportSource is used by the viewer. You can quickly run the test using one of our sample reports to see what I am talking about. The code below was generated using the Consolidated Balance Sheet.rpt and did not experience any problems doing any of the viewer actions.<%@page import="com.businessobjects.samples.JRCHelperSample, com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportViewer, com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.OpenReportOptions, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKExceptionBase, com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.reportsource.IReportSource, java.sql.Connection, java.sql.DriverManager, java.sql.ResultSet, java.sql.SQLException, java.sql.Statement"%><% try { String reportName = "Sample Reports/Consolidated Balance Sheet.rpt"; ReportClientDocument clientDoc = (ReportClientDocument) session.getAttribute(reportName); if (clientDoc == null) { clientDoc = new ReportClientDocument(); // Open report clientDoc.open(reportName, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly); { // **** POPULATE MAIN REPORT **** { // Connection Info for fetching the resultSet String connectStr = "jdbc:derby:classpath:/Xtreme"; String driverName = "org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"; String userName = "dbuser"; // TODO: Fill in database user String password = "dbpassword"; // TODO: Fill in valid password String query = "SELECT CUSTOMER_NAME FROM APP.CUSTOMER WHERE COUNTRY = 'Australia'"; String tableAlias = "FINANCIALS"; // TODO: Change to correct table alias JRCHelperSample.passResultSet(clientDoc, fetchResultSet(driverName, connectStr, userName, password, query), tableAlias, ""); } } // Store the report document in session session.setAttribute(reportName, clientDoc); } { // Create the CrystalReportViewer object CrystalReportViewer crystalReportPageViewer = new CrystalReportViewer(); // set the reportsource property of the viewer IReportSource reportSource = clientDoc.getReportSource(); crystalReportPageViewer.setReportSource(reportSource); // set viewer attributes crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnPage(true); crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnForm(true); // Process the report crystalReportPageViewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, application, null); } } catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) { out.println(e); } %><%! // Simple utility function for obtaining result sets that will be pushed into the report. // This is just standard querying of a Java result set and does NOT involve any // Crystal JRC SDK functions. private static ResultSet fetchResultSet(String driverName, String connectStr, String userName, String password, String query) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException { //Load JDBC driver for the database that will be queried Class.forName(driverName); Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectStr, userName, password); Statement statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY); //Execute query and return result sets return statement.executeQuery(query); }%>Try using the code generated from the wizard to see if it works for you as well.

Document Numbering Series and navigation buttons in SBO

Hi there,
A new set of document numbering is created for new financial year.
e.g. SO11-100001 is for financial year 2011 and SO12-100001 is for financial year 2012.
Due to this setup, we have encountered a problem to use SAP navigation button to search between documents such as when I continue to click u201CNEXTu201D button, the documents would be popup in following sequence:
SO11-100001  SO12-100001  SO11-100002  SO12-100002  u2026u2026
Is there a way to just navigte through SO12 series documents only?
If I use series grouping under "Authorizations", this will totally block the previous year's documents. There may still be open docuemnts from last year and therefore, using "Authorizations" is not a wise option.
If there is a workaround, kindly share with me.
Thanks,
Yadana

hi Yadana
in that case u can create a user query displaying the fields u want on the basis on the period indicator i.e. 2011 & 2012
hope this would suffice your concern

Manish
