Objects hyperlinked to pages?

I am hoping someone has found a solution to this, or that IBA is going to come out with a feature upgrade soon? It sure would open up the interactivity of a page if you could have objects link to other pages. I know that text can link to a figure on another page, but that just doesn't cut it. There is a feeling of claustrophobia that comes from being stuck in a place and not knowing exactly where you are and having to back out of a section via the table of contents.

Is this a user-centric question? Bookmarks are the solution at that level.
Otherwise, you can always straddle a given object with linked text and/or learn how to hide text against a same colored background near the object and link to that.
I think the best approach, however, is to avoid such circular needs, and work to leverage iBooks default navigation otherwise. If you find a protracted need, you might want to avoid iBA and create a standard epub or perhaps even an app instead.
As always, to, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

Calling a method in BPM Object from jsf page

Hi All,
How do I call a method in BPM object from JSF page? Is it possible to invoke it in a manner similar to invoking a method from managed bean in JSF application?
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Veronica

You can use f:invoke (or f:invokea to with parameters)
For ajax calls, you can use f:invokeUrl to get the URL to a particular method within your BPM object, although make sure the Server-Side Method property is set to Yes.

Anchored Objects Disappear When Page Moved

I'm working in InDesign CS2 in XP environment. I duplicated a page that contains anchored objects. It was page one; the duplicate page is now page 5. I modified the duplicate page 5. Now I want the altered page 5 moved into page 1 position.
When I move the pages either by dragging or by right clicking on the page icon and using the Move Page command, all anchored objects on the page disappear. I also cannot release the anchored objects because the release command is disabled when I select an object with the selection tool.
Any suggestions?

I got your file, and after looking at it, it's probably better not to post it publicly. For the lurkers, it's a draft government document, not yet ready for release.
Anyway, I took a look at the file, first in CS2 where it was created, and then in CS3 to see if it would behave differently.
First, the anchored objects aren't really gone, just temporarily invisible. if you select the objects and move the page, you can still see the selection outline. It's some sort of screen display bug/glitch, I think, in CS2. Exporting to .inx didn't fix it, so I think it's not corruption, and it doesn't happen at all in CS3.
The bad news is I have no way to explain what the problem is, or how to prevent it from happening. The good news is I found a way to make them reappear! Select the text frame with the selection tool, and change its stacking order. I tried Ctrl + Shift + [ to send to the back, and Ctrl + ] to bring forward, and both seemed to work, though it may make a difference where in the order they start out. If one attempt doesn't work, try again, or send all the way back or forward.
For what it's worth, this is only a display problem. Even when the anchored objects are not visible on the screen they show in both printed and exported PDF.

How can I get the "pageContext" object in jsp page?

Hi everyone:
I want to get struts's DataSource object in jsp page.So I should get the PageContext object in jsp page.My code is:
///////////////////datatest.jsp///////////////////////////////////
     DataSource ds=(DataSource)pageContext.getAttribute(Action.DATA_SOURCE_KEY);
     conn=ds.getConnection();
          stm=conn.createStatement();
          rs=stm.executeQuery(insertsql);
Is right?But I get the "NullPointerException" error in Tomcat.The connection pool in struts-config.xml is:
<data-sources>
<data-source key="mydatasource">
<set-property property="autoCommit"
value="false"/>
<set-property property="description"
value="MyWebSite Data Source Configuration"/>
<set-property property="driverClass"
value="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"/>
<set-property property="maxCount"
value="4"/>
<set-property property="minCount"
value="2"/>
<set-property property="password"
value="qijiashe"/>
<set-property property="url"
value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myweb"/>
<set-property property="user"
value="lyo"/>
</data-source>
</data-sources>
I can query the database in servlet.
I think the method that I get the context is not right.Had someone get the pagecontext in jsp page?help :(

Sorry I forgot that I had change the code:
DataSource ds=(DataSource)pageContext.getAttribute(Action.DATA_SOURCE_KEY);
     conn=ds.getConnection();
          stm=conn.createStatement();
          rs=stm.executeQuery(insertsql);
to the code:
DataSource ds=(DataSource)pageContext.getAttribute("mydatasource");
     conn=ds.getConnection();
          stm=conn.createStatement();
          rs=stm.executeQuery(insertsql);
mydatasource is the struts datasource in "struts-config.xml". I couldn't work

Positioning Objects on the Page.

Hi, Expert:
How can I position two objects on the page relatively? Say, I have two data tables, or one data table and after the table, some other object (button?, etc). B/c I don't know how many rows will return from the database, if I placed two tables too close, the first table will overlay the second one below. Is there a way to place them relatively so the second one will be always at the end of the first one?
Thanks
Jimmy

Yes, and it's pretty easy :)
Drag and drop a GroupPanel component to the page and put both tables into it.
Or you can try changing the layout of the page to Flow Layout, but I use the GroupPanel.

Auto Force Framed Objects to Next Page

How do I auto force a placed object to the next page? As you can see in the picture, I have two objects almost on top of each other. The bottom object is being forced up because there isn't enough room at the bottom of the page. I know I can force it to the next page using a hard line break, but I want the content to flow on its own as I make changes. I did try playing with the keep options, but to no avail.

Well, I was hoping to look at the same portion of text in both images, but your first image shows VAC 4, House Plans and the Story Editor shows VAC 4 Wise Builders, which I imagine is a different part of the document. Either way, I don't know of a way to move an anchored object to another page without moving the anchor itself. I assume you are using a custom anchor, as opposed to Inline or Above Line, correct?
By looking at your Story Editor image, I can see you separate your paragraphs with double paragraph returns, you have a double-tab in the paragraph after the anchor, and a whole string of paragraph returns, possibly as a way to allow space below your last visible paragraph, or to advance to the next page. This isn't what you are asking about, but that isn't the most efficient typesetting technique. You would be better off separating your paragraphs with the "Space After" paragraph attribute, using only one tab (and setting the tab position so you don't need two), and instead of lots of paragraph returns, you can either use a "Next Frame" character, or set the Keep Options of the following paragraph to begin on a new page/frame/column (which ever you have next).
Personally, I would anchor an object with the text that describes or referrs to the object, so it wouldn't really be a benefit to move the anchored graphic to the next page if the text is going to stay where it is. I would probably move the text and the anchor along with it to the next page (by either replacing the paragraph return that preceeds that paragraph with a "next frame" character, or setting the keep options as described earlier.
On the other hand, maybe I'm not understanding what you have or what you want. If you think that's true, maybe try describing it in a different way.

Why Is The Menu On The Master Page BELOW The Objects In Other Pages?

I added a menu on the master page using the Composition widget called featured news and it stays behind the other objects on normal pages.
How do I fix this? Here are the pictures of the menu when it's closed and when it's open.

Make a new layer, which is by default placed above all other layers.
Go to your master page and drag the menu onto this layer.

Object appearing on pages applied with master page

I'm doing a multi-page brochure and I've got all my master pages set up. on the odd pages applied with master page 'A,' a colored rectangle appears when I print that is not on screen on my master page 'A,' nor is it an object on those pages. it also appeared on a pdf that i sent out.
I can't get rid of it! I've tried to delete the master page 'A' and create a new one (made a copy of a master that didn't have issues), then applied that to the odd pages. no luck.

Thanks Al, you've been a busy ID user over the years. Me, I've only been using it for a couple years and I always seem to learn something new every day. Thanks for your help, and I'll continue to read further into the threads. There's always more than one way to skin a cat, we all know that, so there are multiple ways to fix the problem at hand. Some of my spreads hold large photos that actually go right through the spine of the spread, and yet the two pages of the spread can actually have 2 different master pages applied. So, I've got to figure out which way is best..whether its moving the master page items away from the spine or if splitting up the pages is better (not exactly sure how that will work yet with large spread photos). I'll look into it more later, when I have more time. Right now I'm on deadline (monthly magazine), and for a quick and easy fix, I can switch master pages off and just copy the master items over to each page spread where I need them.
and thanks for the tip on Indesignsecrets.com. I didn't know they existed....and now I do, thanks! (too many websites...too little time!

Can I put hyperlinks in Pages documents

I am having problems with converting word documents with hyperlinks into ePub. Can I use Pages to create these docs with internal hyperlinks?

Yes you can manage hyperlink in pages thru inspector

Hyperlinks to page number cross-refs, etc.

I'm considering whether to upgrade to RH 7 or a different
product. When generating WebHelp to printed doc, can RH 7
standalone convert hyperlinks to page number cross-refs? Requires
setup or automatic?
I'm assuming that RH 7 requires generating printed doc to
Word. Right? By any chance can it convert directly to PDF with the
same output result as to Word?
In RH 7 is the Generate Printed Doc much improved, and in
which ways, from RH 5?
Thanks.

D'oh! My bad!
I thought what was being referred to was "out of the box" behavior of X5 with no special macros applied.
Perhaps I'm remembering it wrong.
I always defer to anything print related to Peter. And I really must get used to the fact he's really not asleep in England at 12:11 AM now but is wide awake in Colorado!

Can't select Master Page object on document page.

Hi,
Yes, I know this question has been asked a million times. But, it's just not working for me. I've got a simple green box at the bottom right of my master page. I've made it into a button. I've allowed the master page to overwrite. But, on my document pages I simply cannot select this object. I've made the object into a button, per the master page, and, I need to have it link from each page back to a previous page in the document. Yes, I've tried Cmd + Shift, then click on the object, but, that doesn't work.
My button shares space with a page text box. Those are the only objects on the page, though. If I move the text box up, then yes, I can select the button. But, that's cheating.
Thanks a lot for any help.

What do you mean shares space with? Is it on top of the button?
If so, try locking it the text frame..

Many Flash vector objects on a page slows down responsiveness to freezes (Windows 8 IE 10 Flash 11)

Hello, I use Windows 8 Pro x64 on my Core 2 Quad, Internet Explorer 10 (desktop mode) with Flash 11.7.700.169.
When I'm on site with Flash vector animations which use some input controls (i.e. I can manipulate objects in the Flash frame with my mouse) it seriously slows down IE (scrolling, text input) down to freezes. It doesn't matter whether mouse pointer is over the Flash or somewhere else on the page but the more Flash frames on the page - the greater speed drops. CPU consumption by iexplorer.exe process on that pages is constantly around 25-40%.
Disabling Flash avoids the issue.
I did a clean install twice so it doesn't look like a specific installation issue. In Modern IE this is less noticeable but still persist.
Moreover, on the same machine I previously had Windows 7 Professional x64 with Internet Explorer 10 and Flash ActiveX 11.7.700.202 and did not experience that kind of problems.
I have tried Chrome and Firefox with the Flash plugin of the latest version and they were fine - no noticeable lags or freezes.
I did some more research and replaced ActiveX Flash files (Flash.ocx, FlashUtil_ActiveX.dll, FlashUtil_ActiveX.exe) both 32 and 64 bit with that from Windows 7 and then vector flash objects on the page did not show up but streamed objects worked well. I replaced Flash.ocx with Windows 8 version and vector ads showed up but lags came back as well.
Finally I replaced all files of version 11.7.700.202 with files of version 11.5.502.146 and suddenly they worked very well - no lags or freezes, smooth scrolling etc.
So the question now is how to deal with further Flash updates for Windows 8? Is there any way to find out what is the cause of lags and freezes in version 11.7.700.202 for IE on my Windows 8 machine?
My current config:
Core 2 Quad 9550 @ 2.83
GeForce GTX 580
8Gb RAM
256Gb SSD
Windows 8 Pro x64 + NVidia driver 320.18 + Flash 11.7.700.202

Custom Hyperlinks in Pages...

Hello,
I need to create a custom hyperlink in Pages, not standard (Webpage, e-mail, Bookmark, another pages document) but something like:
navigonROU://address//ROU/330000/HUNEDOARA/STRADA%20REPUBLICII//22.90101/45.7562 5/////CASTELUL%20DE%20HUNEDOARA
The ideea is that when I tap on a link from a touch device like ipod touch the navigation software opens up.
Any ideea is welcome. Thank you!

Thank you all for your time, it seems that I misled you in a wrong direction. Let me detail my problem.
I am working on a book in Apple Pages, on my MacBook Pro, I need a way to create hyperlinks with custom text, I am trying to get rid of the "http://" that pages is automatically completing in front of the text that I paste in the hyperlink field, under inspector > Hyperlinks tab.
After I export the .epub file, put it to my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch and open it in iBooks app, when I tap on the link that I made, if the "http://" is there, will open the link in safari like this:
+http://navigonROU://address//ROU/330000/HUNEDOARA/STRADA%20REPUBLICII//22.90101/ 45.75625/////CASTELUL%20DE%20HUNEDOARA+
wich goes nowhere of course. On the other hand if I could manage in a way to stop pages from auto-competing the "http://" in front, when I tap on the link, will folow the link like this:
navigonROU://address//ROU/330000/HUNEDOARA/STRADA%20REPUBLICII//22.90101/45.7562 5/////CASTELUL%20DE%20HUNEDOARA
and open the app called Navigon. I know that the link like this works because I have sent the link via e-mail, opened it on my iDevice and followed like a charm and opened the app with the address completed ready for turn by turn directions.
Thanks for any suggestions.
