Possible to prevent hidden slide from showing on "next" click?

I am working on my first Captivate 7 project. I have created a sub-set of slides that users will be able to link to from another slide (almost like pop-up boxes). This is optional content, so I don't want to force users to view it. How do I prevent a slide from displaying when the user clicks "Forward"? I figured out how to exclude it from the TOC, but if I actually Hide the page, I can't use the Jump to Slide feature.
I tried to set up an OnExit action to jump to another slide, but that doesn't seem to work either. I'm sure others must do this all the time? I really appreciate your advice!!

You need to set up custom variables that track whether or not the slide should be seen. The default value will be that the slide is NOT seen (ie 0 or False). The On Slide ENTER event for these 'hidden' slides will execute a Conditional Advanced Action that checks the value of the variable and if it is set to 0 or False then it will jump immediately to the next slide.
When you deliberately jump to that slide from another slide your jump action needs to be executed by an Advanced Action that first sets the value of the variable to 1 or True before jumping. This way, when it gets to the slide the On Slide Enter event's action will see that the slide is supposed to be viewed and allow it to play.
To clean up, you need to ensure that any way the user gets out of that same slide will also execute an action that resets the variable to 0 or False again.

How to prevent my slide from advancing?

Hi - how do I prevent my slide from advancing? I have a text caption at the top, then 2 images, each with click boxes over them. And then there are 2 text captions below - one underneath each image. I also added a next button to try to stop the slide from advancing.
I set the action on each click box to show the text caption below the image when the click box is clicked. So here's what happens:
- the slide plays, then stops
- user clicks either one of the images (is actually clicking the click box on top of the image), and
- then the slide start playing again and then eventually all the objects disappear (timing on the slide is about 17 seconds).
How do I get all the objects to just stay on the slide, until the user clicks the next button on the skin? I had thought the Next button would do that, but it's not (and I don't want a next button on there anyway).
Thanks!
Kelly

Hi Kelly
It's all in the timing.
Can you share your project? If we can see it first hand, we can then offer suggestions about what you need to do.
Cheers... Rick

Is it possible to prevent a user from creating and approving a JV

Hi,
Is it possible to prevent a user from creating and approving a JV. We have a rule that one user cannot do both. What happens is user#1 creates the JV, then some other user#9 approves the JV. Both user#1 and user#9 need to be able to create a JV and approve someone else's JV.
The transactions in question are...
F-02 General Posting - enter Journal Voucher (create & post)
F-65 Enter General Document - Parking (create)
FBV0 Post or Delete a Parked Document (approval)
Please let me know the details.
Thanks in advance,

Prevent Spry Tags from showing on page

I have looked, but could not find a similar topic.
My question is, is there a way to prevent spry tags from
showing on a page when it loads or gets refreshed?
Example:
http://www.sothebys.com/video/viewer/
When first coming to the page, the spry tags appear, once the
page is loaded they are replaced by it's content. Same happens when
the page is refreshed.
Any suggestions?

Is there a way to prevent hidden calendars from appearing in Notification Center?

I have 4 calendars syncing with my iPhone -- now running iOS5.
One of those calendars is my Google Calendar, which includes birthdays of all my contacts.
However, the iOS also offers a special "Birthdays" calendar that pulls birthdays from the Contacts app. I have that calendar hidden because it is duplicative of my Google Calendar.
Yet, despite the fact that it is hidden from showing in the Calendar app, those entries appear in the new Notifications Center. As a result, birthdays appear twice.
While this is far, far from a big deal and certainly something I can live with, it would be nice if hidden calendars didn't appear in Notification Center. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing?

Well, since you have multiple calendars synced to one account, this may not work. I was syncing one Yahoo calendar and that's the one that was giving me the duplicate entries on the notification screen. On my iphone I went to Settings -- Mail, Contacts, Calendars -- chose my Yahoo account (which was already inactive) and turned off Reminders (which curiously has an icon next to it that looks like the iOS5 reminders app). I've noticed that not all of my email/calendar accounts have this option, though. Very strange.

Is it possible to Update Powerpoint slides from the Sharepoint slide-library using Macros when its in read-only mode?

As Wendy Li informed that PPT ask you to update from slide library automatically. But this happens only if the slides are saved in your system(in read write mode). Is it possible to run the updates automatically on Read-only slides as well.
Thanks.
Old:
Currently I'm executing the task manualy by using the Check for updates option. But I'm willing to develop a macro code which can be executed when the slide is open and automatically replaces the slides with the latest one from the Slide-Library. Any links
to pre-existing code will be helpful. Thanks.

Hi SamGoe,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update the PoerPoint slide from SharePoint 2010 slide library automatically.
It seems to be not necessary to use Macros. SharePoint provides an OOB way to notify you to check for update to the slide library slides when you open the presentation. PowerPoint does this because you selected the option
Tell me when this slide changes when you copied the slides from the library.
More information, please refer to the link below:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint-help/sharepoint-slide-libraries-ii-use-slides-in-the-library-RZ010254089.aspx?section=6
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

How can I prevent Podcast Maker from showing direct link to media files?

I'm brand-new to podcasting and to Podcast Maker for Mac, but I finally created a podcast (after 3 hours of trying to figure out how to get the thing to upload to the correct sub-directory).
My question is: When I look at my feed in Firefox, I see so-called 'media links' to all my original mp3's, as well as the links I specified to the web pages where the mp3's are embedded inside my site content.
Is there anyway to keep those media links from showing up in the feed? If people access my mp3's directly without visiting my website, it defeats the whole purpose for me creating the podcast in the first place.
Thanks for any help!
Brian

I think I may have to look into a redirect line in my htaccess file so that direct loads of my mp3's route through my website page.
If you do this you may find iTunes won't read the files, so I should test carefully on one file first if possible.

Prevent Personal Sites from showing in search

Is there a way to prevent the personal site from showing in search results?
It seems to only happen for certain users
I dont want /personal/username to appear in search results
thanks
themush

Or slightly simpler, remove them from the local SharePoint content source.
Having said this, do you really want/need to remove these results? They will only appear when a user has permission to see the files in question and those results are thought to be relevant. That's why you're getting spotty appearance of them in the results.

How to prevent popup dialog from closing when commandbutton clicked

Hi,
I have a af:commandButton inside a popup dialog and the button action calls a method in backing bean. When this button is clicked I would like to run the method in backing bean and return control to the popup window. The method seem to run fine but the popup dialog closes automatically. Is there a way to prevent popup dialog from closing for this action?
Thank you
Kevin

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the link. I am not sure how to use this in my case. Following is part of what I am trying
<af:popup ...>
<af:dialog>
<af:form usesUpload="true">
<af:inputFile ..../>
<af:commandButton text="upload" action="#{backingbean.uploadAction}"/>
<af:outputText value="#{backingbean.filename} was successfully uploaded"/>
</af:form>
</af:dialog>
</af:popup>
When user clicks upload button I want to display a message that the file was successfully uploaded and keep the popup window open. But what happens now is once the file upload completes, the popup window closes automatically. This file upload part is not a must, user could skip doing the upload and instead input some text in a text area below (not shown in the code above). User could also just click cancel and exit the popup any time, so there is no mandatory field that I could check before closing the popup. Is there something I could do for this?
thanks

De-cluttering tip: Is there a way to prevent a track from showing up under "Artist" while still being able to view the artist info when I play the song by Album?

I asked this question here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15312099#15312099
It was suggested I re-post in this forum, seeing as the problem may be specific to the Touch.
So, I have lots of "compilation" albums that include songs by various artists (for example, Pitchfork's top 500 singles of the decade). I usually select my music by "Artist," and now my ipod is super cluttered, because now I have hundreds and hundreds of artists listed, many of which I only have one or two songs by from this compilation.
One solution: simply delete the artist information for these large compilations, and then the songs from the compilations will no longer show up under "Artists." Problem is, I would like to know who the artists are when I play the compilation (I simply don't want to have the artists listed under "Artists")
Another solution: I could manually delete the artist info, but paste that info on to the song name. For example, a track that once looked like:
Artist: Nirvana
Title: Smells Like Teen Spirit
Album: Best of the '90s
After my editing, would look like:
Artist: [blank]
Title: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Album: Best of the '90s
This would solve my problem...but it would literally take hours to do for each and every individual song. Not practical.
Does any one have any other suggestions? It seems like there would be a way to just check a box for what info you want to be listed (ie, I could un-check "Artist," and then the song would no longer be listed by Artist, even though the Artist information would still be retained for reference). Does this option exist?
In the prior thread, someone suggested I mark it as a "compilation" in iTunes. But that did not prevent the individual artists from being listed under "Artists." Someone suggested that I may need to turn "Compilation" to "On" on my iPod. But that does not seem to be an option on the Touch.
Suggestions?
Thanks!!

Why not set the iPod to show Compilations?
In Settings select Main menu (or Music menu) and check Compilations. (You can do so for both if you desire.)
Now all of the Artists that only appear in compilation albums won't appear in Artists.
To get to the Artists that only appear in compilation albums open Compilations in your Main Menu or Music Menu (or either).

Is it possible to prevent the history from moving entries up to the top of the list when a site is revisited, and why does it only do this sometimes?

* Sometimes the history appears to compile previous visits to a site into only the entry for the most recent visit, but other times it does not. In other words, sometimes when a site is re-visited, the history will move a previous visit to that site out of the existing chronological sequence and put it at the top. What makes the difference in whether it does this or not, and is there any way to prevent the consolidating of information this way? I am using using Firefox v.27, Windows 7.
I would like things to be in true chronological order for the possibility of accurately tracking previous activity, and for that purpose do not mind having the duplicate entries. Possible successful solutions might be in areas 1-3 below, and I would appreciate any suggestions.
1. Are there any preferences in 'about:config' that apply to this? I could not find any.
2. Are there other ways of getting this type of record, e.g. some other computer log, program, or add-on?
3. What are some of the most accurate records of one's own internet browsing activity that one can make or obtain, with or without the browser's history function, if anyone knows?
Thanks.

Firefox normally only shows the most recent visit to a specific URL, so you would have to do extra effort to make older visits visible (place:sort=4&type=1).

Prevent parked documents from showing in Liquidity Forecast

We have an invoice scanning system in place here which usually leads to many parked invoices being created. These invoices then show up in the liquidity forecast when we would like to exclude them. Many of these parked documents need to be reviewed to ensure the amounts, accounts, etc are correct from the initial OCR scan. We would only like to see the posted documents show in FF7A.
Is there a standard way to accomplish this? Thanks in advance!

When drilling down into line item you can exclude/ fitlern them out. More seems not to be possible in standard.

Bonjour issues preventing Apple TV from showing up in itunes?

After hours of trouble-shooting and trying out pretty much every fix suggested in this forum and others to make my brand new AppleTV show up in iTunes I think I found something useful. Apple TV uses the Bonjour protocol to make itself known to other systems on the local network. A utility called Bonjour browser shows all the multicasting services on the local network..and voila, AppleTV is broadcasting and showing up in the browser on my MacBook. Issue is, with the AppleTV broadcast I'm getting a "can't resolve link-local name" error message. In fact, I'm getting that error for every device listed in the Bonjour browser. Another tool that I read about in a blog (Bonjour Conformance Test) fails to complete the test (probing failure).
I know more about Bonjour now than I ever wanted to know but still feel completely clueless. Hey, these are APPLE products, this is supposed to be EASY Any ideas what's going on here?
DANKE!

I wouldn't worry about the 'can't resolve......' message, the fact that the browser application has seen the tv means that the tv is advertising it's services. Bonjour does nothing more than this, it does not enable or allow sharing, it merely advertises that a device can share.
It might be worth checking that itunes is also advertising it's sharing properly, you should be looking for something like itunes DAAP, which is the protocol itunes uses to share its library.
Moving on slightly, I recently did some tests and found that it is possible to stream to 3 tv's and 3 other macs from a single library, to cut a long story short, this doesn't fit in with my understanding of DAAP which limits sharing to 5 devices. My conclusion is that itunes doesn't use DAAP to share with the tv. If this is correct itunes needs to advertise another sharing service over bonjour specifically for the tv, so you should see another service advertised in the application you are using, let's say itunes-appletv, although it is likely something different.

Is it possible to prevent the OS from dropping and deleting a network share shortcut?

One thing that has always bugged me about Mac OS is that when a network share becomes unresponsive or unavailable the shortcut on the desktop disappears and you get a glaring messaging that the share has been disconnected.
Is there any way to prevent a network share from being removed just because it becomes momentarily unavailable?
As an example, on a Windows machine the network share shortcut remains, you simply cannot use it but it is there and ready to go the moment the share comes back online. Is there some way to make OS X behave in this manner? Or is there a way to extend the time out interval for a network share?
Thanks.
