Page URL's and Nav Bars

Reposted question:
Internal URL is often more than 300 chars, but the nav.bar URL does not
store more than 256 (Could that be an possible enhancement?)
Is there another way to do an navigation to an Portal page ?

One long URL we must use is the "Customize" (page) link. It is 351 chars long.
The reason we need that link is that we don't want to use the built-in banner (we have an HTML-portlet page instead). So there was no other way in Portal 3.0.6 than to create our own customize page link by hard-copying the dynamic link for Customize for each page. And that link is around 350 chars long.
Is there possibly any new way in 3.0.8 to create an own dynamic Customize page link ?
Else, we hardly need the Nav.bar to hold more than 256 char URL.

Can you create a custom static top third and nav bar?

I have created an index page with a custom nav bar and main banner. Is it possible with iweb that this could remain static and just the portion below reloads when you click a nav bar link?

You can do custom templates and so on and 'print' these to JPEG, or just Export a bunch of JPEGs and put them in iPhoto to create a book online. Not the same, I know, but in case one wanted to do one.

Autorotation w/ Tab and Nav Bars

I am having a problem with views not being properly resized after autorotation. My app has a tab bar where one of the tabs is nav controller. I have the autoresize masks to maintain edge distances and use flexible width/height.
Starting in portrait, if I switch to the tab with the nav controller and then rotate the device to landscape, the content view does not resize properly. Once the rotation animation stops, the top of the content view ends up obscured by the nav bar (it looks like the content view is being sized to fit between the top screen edge and the top of the tab bar rather than fitting between the bottom of the nav bar and top of the tab bar). The horizontal dimension updates as expected.
If I start in landscape and then switch over to the tab with the nav controller, the content view does correctly sit between the nav and tab bars.
I dumped the frame/bounds of the content to see if something jumped out at me and am only more confused. In both cases, the frame and bounds of the content view are origin at (0, 0), width 480, height 239? I was expecting to see the origin offset in the first case where things don't resize correctly.
Not sure what I am doing wrong...

Hello,
The answer is in the code. Can you post a link?
As a guess, the fix might be in setting the cell the
navigation is in to
vertical-align: top;
In design view, click in the cell that contains the
navigation.
Select the <td> tag in the tag bar at the bottom of the
design window.
The entire column containing the navigation should highlight.
In the properties window, select "Top" from the "vert"
dropdown choices.
In code view, find the cell containing the navigation.
Change the opening <td> to:
<td valign="top">
It really depends on how you built it. This could also be
caused by merged
table rows.
Take care,
Tim

Creating new page without linking to nav bar

I am creating a website that will have lots of pages. How can I create a page that doesn't link to my nav bar? IE.. I have home, about myself, resources etc.. each time I make a new page and name it, it automatically lists the webpage name in my nav bar. I only want say 5 topics in my nav bar but will have well over 50 pages in my site.. How do I do this? Thanks.

Hi,
and welcome to the Discussion Forums.
How can I have pages which do not display in the navigation menu?
1. Open iWeb then select a page you don't want to display in the top navigation bar
2. Open the Inspector and go to the 'Page' tab
3. Uncheck the "Include page in navigation menu" box
4.Now this page will not appear in the navigation menu but the navigation menu will still appear on that page as the "Display navigation menu" is checked (unless you uncheck that one too)
Regards,
Cédric

Page from a Template - Nav Bars Not Coming Across

Have Dreamweaver CS4 on XP
I have a template that has an absolute placed div for the
header box...and just below that a 50 pixel absolute placement div
to hold the navigation bar.
The nav bars have 8 different buttons and several sub menus.
They look fine and work fine on the template and they preview in
firefox fine. In the template the header and the nav bars are not
write enabled...but the AP div for site content is write enabled in
the copy pages.
Here is the WEIRD behavior is CS4. In my first child copy
page of the template...I can NOT see the nav bar...but if I upload
it to the server and look at it there...the nav bar is visible. The
nav bar has 2 java scripts that have to be loaded in the root...and
they are there.
In the second page I made...the nav bar is NOT visible, it
does not preview, and it does not show up when I call it from the
server.
Whats UP with Dreamweaver or Me? I have had soo much funky
behavior with templates and resulting pages.
Can someone help figure this out with me. Some post talked
about making the z value of the nav bar be 1100 or 1300 because of
some IE problem...so I did that trying to avoid problems with the z
value being off.
Thanks for your help
Suzzie

Post a link to the page, please.

Why aren't my second level pages showing up in nav bar

I have been using Muse for a while and use the menu widget. On the curent site I am using the horizontal menu widget, when I added second level pages in plan view they aren't showing in the nav bar in master view. I have only added sublevel pages to one top level page and do not want a drop down button
on ever page. Isn't Muse suppose to add the sublevel pages to the menu?

In Plan View right-click on the page > Menu Options and make sure one of the include options is checked.

IE 8 and Nav Bar - incompatible?

My site works well with Safari and Firefox, OK with Opera, but with IE8 the Nav Bar does not show up at all. A search here shows this is a common problem - is that right? Is the only solution to hide the whole Nav Bar and make one by hand?

See How to get your iWeb Site to load in Internet Explorer from Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site. I believe he addresses navbars.
Text based navbars would be more IE friendly AND search engine friendly. However, if you have a lot of pages it can be rather tedious applying them to every page.
Since you site is already created then you can create a navbar for the first page and then copy and paste it onto all of the other pages. It's adding or removing pages that can be a drag.

My toolbar where the url is and the bar with the file, edit, and veiw are both gone. How do I get them back?

MY sisters or some one messed with the toolbars and now they are both gone I can't get into anything to change it to show them. I can't see the file, edit or veiw buttons or the tool bar with the url and back button.

Elly, try holding down the Ctrl and Shift keys while you type \ which should bring you back the Tool Bar (the bit with the Back/Forward buttons URL field and search fields).
Once you've got that, click on the Action Menu (the wee coggy thing to the far right) to see a list of Show/Hide commands for your other Bars (including the Menu Bar):

Includes and Nav bar help. Please.

Hello everyone,
I am updating my website
(www.adambenderdesigns.com/home.shtml) using dreamweaver. I am
using an include  so that
I only have to maintain my navigation bar in one place "top.shtml".
Since each page includes this "top.shtml" page (which has the
navigation bar) at the top of the page the "top.shtml" reloads each
time I link/navigate to another page, since it's calling the
 for the new page.
My issue is this: I would like the button on the navigation
menu that corresponds to the page it's on to go to it's down button
position while at page. I basically need a command of some kind to
say, "while at home.shtml the navigation button "home" goes to the
down position.
This code likely belongs in the top.shtml file since it
remains constant (used on evey page of the website).
If anyone could help (or can understand what the heck I'm
talking about) I would truly appreciate the help.
Thank you,
Adam

Descripe the functionalities of Java server Page,URL Scrapper and RSS Provider.

And also define each one of the above providers

Java Server Pages Provider:
=======================
The JavaServer Pages Provider (JSPProvider) feature allows providers for desktop channels to be written using JavaServer Pages (JSP). Support for JSP-based channels is provided through a class called JSPProvider. This extends the ProfileProviderAdapter class to support other attributes for the channel by using the profile service. The result is either a display of the Channel in desktop (in the case of success) or a display of the edit page, possibly with some error information for the user (in the case of a failure).
URL Scraper Provider:
==================
The URL scraper provider stores client-specific URLs in the profile for all supported client types. The URL scraper provider examines each request from the user, determines the user's client type, and delivers a correctly formatted page into the URL scraper channel.
RSS Provider:
===========
RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a markup language for portals. The content provider publishes an RSS file on his Web site. Periodically, the portal fetches the file and presents it to visitors thus giving a a fresh, continually updated feature. This is called content syndication: The content owner syndicates his content to the portal.

New desktop has wrong path for page links in nav bar

I created a new desktop and have the following problem. The image links to portal
pages in the horizontal nav bar in the top have wrong path.
Example.
In the original portal the home page link in the nav bar has a image associated
with it in workshop.
\framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif
The partial url generated for the image looks liek this:
\mywebapp\\framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif.
I created a new desktop everything works fine except for the images. The href's
are created for the links but the image path is wrong.
the url generated is : \mywebapp\appmanager\framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif
The "appmanager" in the path causes the problem.
Is this a bug?

Hi Subbu,
I used workshop page properties to associate the image to the page.
framework/skins/classic/images/home.gif

How can I combine the nav bar and menu bar on the same line to save space?

Firefox v29 seems to be a huge step backward in customization. I need to save space for content so previously I turned off tabs and combined the menu bar and nav bar on the same line. The url space is way too long anyway. Now with v29 all my customization is gone and I cannot get it back. I can no longer move items on the nav bar to combine it with the menu bar. Why was this done? It only limits my ability to customize my browser? I am very frustrated that you took a great browser and ruined it.

I get it that Firefox has changed, but the change is for the worse. It makes it impossible to customize menus as I had before v.29.

How to get the current page URL

HI All
I am working in oracle apps 4.0
I have one page called history in that i have one page item called Application url. My application id is 122 but its a copy of application 106
How to get the current page url for the page item.
Any steps should be help ful
Thanks & Regards
Srikkanth.M

I'm not 100% clear on what the requirement is from the description, however it does sound like you are making things unnecessarily complicated.
If you want permanent/ID-independent links then use application and page aliases.
so here we used to display the url like this: <tt>{noformat}http://81.131.254.171:8080/apex/f?p=122{noformat}</tt>
Do you mean that the URL is displayed like that? If so that doesn't seem particularly helpful. How is anyone supposed to know what it is?
There are many ways to provide links in APEX—including lists and nav bars.
Where the link is to another resource located on the same server (such as another page in the same app, or a different app in the workspace), relative addressing can be used, making it unecessary to include scheme, domain and port information in the URL. For example, if the page to be linked to has a page alias <tt>ABOUT</tt> in an application with alias <tt>UNITY</tt>, and the apps share an authentication scheme/cookie to permit shared sessions, then the link URL is simply
f?p=UNITY:ABOUT:&APP_SESSION.

FWs Nav Bar - Make Hyperlinks

Hi
I am currently making a website and I have created a nav bar
in fireworks using slices and pop-up menus etc. Anyway I have
imported it to my website in Dreamweaver, but I cant figure out how
to make a hyperlink from the from down and nav bar buttons to the
corresponding page. Do I make the links in Fireworks? If so, how?
In Dreamweaver also how?
Any help much appreciated, thanks.

It would be easiest to add the hyperlinks in Fireworks, which
you can do in the pop-up menu editor (same place you entered the
text for the buttons).
If you wanted to add the links in Dreamweaver you'd have to
do it in source-code view. Search for the text that you entered for
the button name, and Fireworks should have entered a pound/hash
symbol (#) for your link (don't quote me on that though). Replace
that with your page link and you should be good to go.
Someone should be along shortly to tell you that the
Fireworks menus suck though, so stand by for that.

How can I get rid of the earth looking image from nav bar?

Hi, folks:
I tried to replace it with another image, by going to folder-> edit-> image tab-> Title image and Rollover image, I uploaded both images, but the nav bar still shows a blue picture of earth.
null

In the same page click on the Nav Bar tab
Click on the nav bar properties <name> link
click on the Style tab in the nav bar properties
click on the style properties <name> link
choose the background image element and remove the background image(which happens to be the earth img by default)
you can control the rest of the nav bar style elements here
Hope this helps
