Remove broken links in RH 7.0.2

I'm working on a project where the Help covers two different releases of a plug-in Adapter. I thought I was going to have to have two different sets of files for one section of the product for release 4 and release 5, so I copied the existing folder and had "feature" and "feature4" folders. Then, as it turned out, there weren't that many differences, so I deleted the "feature4" fodler. I deleted the files and folder from within RoboHelp, so I assumed that if there had been any problems, I would have received a warning. Apparently I was wrong. =(
Now I have Broken Links that refer to that deleted "feature4" folder. I do NOT want to restore those files, because I don't need them. I've checked all the hyperlinks in the topics in the "feature" folder and in the generated output, and they all seem to work.
So, my question is, what file does RoboHelp use to store hyperlinks? Is there any way to go in and hack the code to remove broken links to files that you have deleted and don't want to restore?

Well that only took me three hours. I had four broken links to repair. At one point I had one fixed and then it came back. *shakes fist at sky*
Can I just say that the Broken Links feature is remarkably unhelpful and non-intuitive?
For anyone else who is here searching for answers, here's what I did. (because "go in and fix it manually" is remarkably UNhelpful if you don't know what you're looking for)
Under the Broken Links folder, double-click the broken link reference.
In the Topic References dialog, click one of the references, then click Edit. The topic will open.
Click the HTML tab so you're looking at the code view.
In the toolbar, go to Edit > Find.
Search for links within the HTML code (I used part of the HTML code for a link, "href" as my search term).
When you find the link code that matches what is shown in the Broken Links view, fix the link (edit the code, or place your cursor in the link then click the Design tab, then remove/replace the hyperlink).
Two of my links required me to search the code as described above. I searched the code view and located the references to the "feature4" folder and deleted or corrected them. The other two were links to deleted or renamed files, so I clicked Restore in the Topic References dialog box, recreated the files, then deleted the recreated files. That seemed to fix those links.
Oy, now to get some actual work done today!

Remove broken links to baggage files

Yesterday I thought I would take a shortcut and copy/paste the Index file from one project into a another project. The problem is, I was careless and copy/pasted the Table of Contents file by mistake, renamed it for the current project, saw what I'd done when the TOC changed right away, then had to fix things in a hurry.
I put the original Table of Contents file back, but Robohelp remembers links to baggage files from the bad TOC that are not in the current project, and displays them in the Project Manager with a red X through them. I can't find any way to delete them. How do I clean this up?
Thanks!

I haven't tested to be certain, but perhaps the dev team put measures in place that disallow deletion until any links to the baggage files have been removed?
Just a thought... Rick

How can i remove broken links automatically from my bookmarks

I have a huge list of bookmarks and i detect that several of the websites do not exist anymore. Is it possible to automatically remove these ? I know that websites can be out-of-service temporarily, but i take that risk. I remember that older browsers (Mozilla ? Netscape ? ....) had such a feature

Removed Movie from .Mac Web Gallery But Broken Link Remains?

I published a movie to my Web Gallery successfully. I then tried to republish but got two movies in the Gallery. One movie worked and the other was a broken link. I removed the movie from .Mac using Share>Remove From .Mac, and the working movie was removed. But I am still left with a broken link in the Movies section of my Web Gallery. How can I remove this broken link?
I checked my iDisk and found \Web\Sites\_gallery, but I can't find the index file for the gallery (only folders for the albums).
Thanks, Will

I'm having the same problem (broken links after a republish) -- and a few others:
1) After about the first time, I have been unable to remove a movie from the gallery. I just get a connection error. I'm able to add movies (somehow the connection magically works) but removing fails most of the time.
2) When adding a movie, for some reason, the title of the movie ends up replacing the "My Gallery" title for my entire web gallery. On the web gallery home page (over my photo albums and videos) it shows the title of the first video.

Can remove broken symbolic link ../../../sparv9/disk_ata

we found a broken symbolic link /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/sparv9/disk_ata
this is on a V440, Solaris 9
would like to ask, any issue if we remove this link, think it should not be a problem, but this is a live server.
Thanks!

This is also surprising the fact that your server is a SunFire V440 means
it should only be using SCSI harddisks. This is really weird.
Anyway, since it is a broken link, you could actually delete for security reasons.
But since you are worried ( I don't blame you, coz I will feel the same way),
the best way is to keep a record of this broken link in a file where you could
access it in the future. So my final advise is, record the broken link (comlete path ) into a file
( you can do a cut and paste ) then secure the file ( chmod 400 filename)
and then delete your broken link. Do you agree ?

Remove iPhoto Dead / Broken Links

How do I remove thousands of dead/broken links from iPhoto? I was maintaining my primary iPhoto library on a MacBook Air with and external drive. I now use the external drive with a Macmini but the MacBook Air sees all the old links. I can't simply delete the Macbook Air library because there are also thousands of locally stored files from before I started using the external drive and leaving them referenced. Also, photos imported from the iPhones always went to the iPhoto LIbrary rather that the external drive so those only exist on the MacBook internal drive.
-- Mark

iPhoto does not support deleting broken links for a referenced library - that is one of several reasons that referenced libraries are strongly not recommended
If you search the forums someone has posted a hack that several people have found will work
Aperture can reconnect them
iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - can rebuild your library without them

How can we remove podcasts with broken links?

The organization I work for has some old podcasts (2011) listed in iTunes; the links to all the MP3s are broken. No one in the organization has any idea who posted these items in the first place, so needless to say, we have no idea what account they're linked to. We'd just like for those podcasts to stop appearing in iTunes -- is there a way to flag the broken links so the podcasts don't show up any more?
Thanks in advance.

The feed for that is still up at
http://feeds.feedburner.com/RichardRohrHomilies
Ideally you should remove it, which would ensure it being removed from the Store (a cached version would show until they removed it) - however you will need the login to Feedburner to do this, which presumably you don't have. In that case you can only hope that the fact that none of the media files can be accessed will be sufficient.

The broken link error

Hi,
Please help me with this broken link error in Office Excel 2010. Thank you.
The problem is: a broken link cannot be removed from the file. The link was used in data validation, which refers to a list of values. After the path was corrected, it still shows there’s a broken link. Here are the details:
I have 4 files named “000TVA_Test – 3”, “000TVA_Test – 4”, “000TVA_Test – 5”, and “000TVA_Test – 6”. The posterior files were developed based on the previous files.
In Test-3, sheet “Template “, cell “L4”, “O4”, “R4”… were built as dropdown list using data validation. The list source is in the “Library” worksheet. There’s no problem so far.
Test-4 was firstly copied from Test-3. In this file I renamed the worksheet from “Library” to “Setting” and the link was broken from here. I can also fix the broken link in this file. (While I didn’t realize there was a broken link.)
In Test-5 I fixed the path, but every time when opening the file, the broken link still shows.
In Test-6 I’ve removed the data validations. The broken link is still there.
I tried to find solutions online. I tried common methods, cannot find anything in the files is still using links. I also tried the “findlink.xla” add-in, but it only worked for Test-4, and couldn’t find the link in other files.
Please help. Thank you!
I uploaded files here: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=1A97736E0ABBAA41!113&authkey=!AF5wAd9rwUPnYyE&ithint=folder%2cxlsm
Thanks again!

Hi,
Based on my tested the files downloaded, I found that Test-5 & Test-6 included the "A defined name that refers to an external workbook", Test-4 had not. (Please click Formula Tab>Name Manage, you'll see them.)
However, the Break Links command cannot break the following types of links:
A defined name that refers to an external workbook
A ListBox control with an input range that refers to an external workbook.
A DropDown control with an input range that refers to an external workbook.
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/291984/en-us (It also applies to Excel 2010)
Thus, we'd better try the workaround： re-build the Test-5 & Test 6.

Add/remove view links at runtime !?

Hi,
how can i add/remove a view link to an already published RowSet and make the RowSet adapt to the new condition ??? (without loosing it's own linked Details)
The scenario: I have lot's of details which are linked to the same master. I remove the details from the session (sessionInfo.removeRowSet) when I don't need them to keep the active number of views in the session as small as possible ! When removing the Details from the Session I also have to remove their links to the master (to avoid exceptions). Further I want to establish the links again when the detail is added to the session again !?
I add links before publishing:
ViewLinkInfo view_12aLink = new ViewLinkInfo(master, "package1.LinkDef");
view_12a.addMasterLink(view_12aLink);
I can remove links after publishing with:
view_12aLink.removeViewLink(sessionInfo1.getApplicationModule());
but how to establish the link again ?:
ApplicationModule appMod = ....;
ViewObject vo = appMod.findViewObject(view_12a.getQueryInfo().getName());
view_12aLink.createViewLink(appMod,vo);
doesn't work !
if (view_12a.isOpen())
view_12a.close();
view_12a.addMasterLink(view_12aLink);
works !, but all the links where view_12a is master are broken !!!!
So what to Do ????
Thanks for every answer !
null

Your results are as expected per the imlementation. Basically you've established (two) ViewLinks between two sets of two instances of VOs.
Now you try and get an accessor to return a set of details. You need to establish a link between that detail set and it's details to use the accessor on the second detail to get the desired results. Basically you've to establish the chaining between appropriate instances of VOs and not just the outer VOs or VO members of your AM.

A LOT of iTunes broken links/tracks after Music folder move...

So yeah, I'm getting a TON of broken links / dead track links in iTunes after having to do two things to my iTunes install recently and I'm at wits end trying to fix it.
I keep my iTunes Music Folder on an external and share the iTunes library between my work Macbook Pro and my home Macbook. Every Friday I drag my iTunes folder and all contents from my MBP onto an external and replace the iTunes folder on the 'weekend' MB, then do the same back on Monday. I keep my iTunes music 'View' as 'Date Added' so that I can always be listening to whatever is newest. It's how I roll.
Well, this week I had some data problems during the transfer and had to use a previous week's iTunes Music Folder, which was fine as I hadn't added much this week.
I also got a new external because the old one was getting a little shady, so after doing the iTunes Music Folder replacement I moved my music all over to a new external drive, told iTunes where it all was at. iTunes did it's thing, 'organized' my stuff and all seemed good - until I got back deeper into the catalogue of music and started getting a LOT of broken tracks. The songs are still there, in the correct folders and all, but for some reason iTunes isn't finding them.
When I say a LOT, I mean so far it's hundreds of my 13,000 songs.
Now I COULD use the 'Super Remove Dead Tracks' script from Doug's to find all the broken files then re-add the whole library, but it will add all the old songs out of order because they will get a new 'Added' date.
I could also manually move thru my whole library holding down the arrow key for 'Next' to find all the broken links then go thru, select them, and use the 'iTunes Track CPR' script from Doug's to re-add them to the library with ratings intact, but still they will be out of order time-wise.
I cannot find a script that will parse my library, find broken links, and re-associate them with their tracks, nor can I figure out why this happened and any other way to fix it. Repairing permissions hasn't helped. Any other ideas?

Just to follow up with a more comprehensive example of looping through a Library to detect & repair "missing" file-tracks:
<pre>
property kErrAENoSuchObject:(-1728)
on run
tell (application "iTunes")
set theLibraryPlaylist to (first library playlist)
tell theLibraryPlaylist
set theNumCandidateFileTracks to (count (every file track))
repeat with i from 1 to theNumCandidateFileTracks by 1
-- Get a reference to this file-track
set thisFileTrackRef to (file track i)
-- Get this file-track's info (useful for debugging, etc.)
set thisArtist to (artist of thisFileTrackRef)
set thisAlbum to (album of thisFileTrackRef)
set thisName to (name of thisFileTrackRef)
set thisFileTrackInfo to (thisArtist & " > " & thisAlbum & " > " & thisName)
-- Display a diagnostic message every 500th file-track
if ((i mod 500) = 0) then
tell me
display dialog ("Checking file-track #" & i & ": " & ¬
return & return & thisFileTrackInfo) ¬
buttons {"Cancel", "•"} giving up after 2.5
end tell -- me
end if
-- Retrieve this file-track's target file (an AS 'alias' object), if any
-- {!!! NOTE: Due to a bug in iTunes 7.x+ (esp. when downloading), AS might
-- be unable to access the 'location' field of some file-tracks !!!}
try
set thisFileTrackTargetFile to (location of thisFileTrackRef)
on error errMsg2 number errNum2
-- Check whether it's that bizarre error: (-1728) "Can't get location of …"
if (errNum2 = (kErrAENoSuchObject of me)) then
-- Set up to just skip this track (assume it's being downloaded)
set thisFileTrackTargetFile to (anything) -- (Other than 'missing value')
else (* Re-signal all other errors *)
error errMsg2 number errNum2
end if
end try
-- Check whether this file-track is "missing" its target file
if (thisFileTrackTargetFile = (missing value))
-- Inform the user
tell me
display dialog ("Repairing this missing file-track: " & ¬
return & return & thisFileTrackInfo) ¬
buttons {"Cancel", "•"} giving up after 2.5
end tell -- me
-- Set up this target file's new pathname (e.g., via explicit user input, or
-- better yet automatically reconstructed from this file-track's tags such
-- as Artist, Album, Name, Kind, etc.)
-- ... Translate this file-track's kind into a filename-extension
set thisKind to (kind of thisFileTrackRef)
set thisNameExt to "m4a" -- ... Default
if ({thisKind} is in {("Protected AAC audio file")}) then -- Older DRM'd file
set thisNameExt to "m4p"
else if ({thisKind} is in {("MPEG audio file")}) then -- MP3
set thisNameExt to "mp3"
else if (thisKind contains "movie file") then -- E.g., interactive booklet
set thisNameExt to "mov"
end -- (thisKind = "MPEG audio file") ... else if ... else ...
-- ... Auto-build this target file's new pathname
set thisTargetFileNewPathname to ("New Disk:New Path:" & ¬
thisArtist & ":" & thisAlbum & ":" & thisName & "." & thisNameExt)
-- Assign this new target file (as an AS 'alias' object) to this file-track
-- (This is the crucial step that was impossible in older versions of iTunes!)
set (location of thisFileTrackRef) to (alias thisTargetFileNewPathname)
end if -- (thisFileTrackTargetFile = (missing value))
end repeat -- with i from 1 to theNumCandidateFileTracks by 1
end tell -- theLibraryPlaylist
end tell -- (application "iTunes")
end run
</pre>

Strange Broken Link

I have an SQL Report with a link to a detail page.
The link works for 9 out of the 10 rows, but on the 10th row, I'm getting a http 404, broken link error. The link is the same, session is the same, and the only difference is value of the key being passed into the next page. To make this even more strange, when I cut and paste the hyperlink into a new browser, the link works!
Any ideas? Where can I look to find a potential problem?

Nope...I use application items for keys used on multiple pages to simplify linkage and minimize parameter passing. I'm pretty darn certain about what caused this....
First, I copied the page that was returning the 404 into a new page and started removing functionality with the hopes of identifying the problem area. Please realize that the page would work perfectly and then would suddenly stop rendering, so I new that something (data, code) was causing the intermittent issue.
The first thing I did was remove ALL conditional logic on all items within the page and it still didn't render. Then I started deleting objects (on the copied page). The first thing I deleted was all the buttons, and sure enough, the page rendered perfectly, so I knew the problem was somewhere within the buttons. I moved all the buttons to specific region locations ('edit', 'create', 'create2', 'next', 'previous', etc.) and sure enough, the page rendered perfectly, using the exact same data that caused the problem, without any other changes. I've had no problems since.
Because there seem to be doubts about this, I just recreated the problem. I moved all of the buttons to region template position #change# and it worked fine. I moved all of the buttons to region template position #create# and bang, the problem has reappeared. So the issue is within the #create# position. It causes a complete abort with an HTTP 404.

Broken links with index keywords

Using RH 8, I have 20 broken links associated with index keywords. can someone advise how to easily get rid of these broken links?
Many thanks

I assume you are talking about links to index keywords rather than unused index keywords. If so, you have references to those index keywords somewhere inside your project. Your options are to repair the links or remove the references. If you right click on each broken link there are options to Edit, Restore and Show References which will help you find out what is going on.

Broken links that are bookmarks

I have 321 broken links that are bookmarks in a project. I don't need these bookmarks anymore, as I already spend recreating the bookmarks because I could not restore them%$$%$. My question now: is there a more expeditious way of removing the broken links other than individually fixing them (which works)?

No. If your topics contain them, the only way to remove them is to go into the topics and remove them.

Broken Links not fixed after being changed-HELP PLEASE!

I am trying to fix a website I created for a friend. I created it in Dreamweaver CS6 on a Mac. Everything was working on the website, the pitures were showing up and now 2 of the pages arent working. On both pages the spry bar is not working and some of the pictures will not show up. I have went to find broken links and redirected it to the correct file but it is not changing anything. I am not sure how to fix this problem, if anyone has any advice that would be great!! The website is www.serenityatthebeach.com.

That line read correctly when I looked at it on the broken page colorcutstyle. I copied the code from the page if that would help. I hope this helps.
