Responsive projects display incorrect content due to orientation of tablet.

In a responsive project, how does Captivate determine which view should be displayed on which type of device? For example, does it use pixel width or device type?
We have had difficulty designing for tablet devices because when the tablet is held in a landscape position, the primary view is shown. When the device is held in a portrait position, the tablet view is shown. Given that some tablets are higher resolution than desktop machines, how do we ensure that the tablet view is displayed regardless of the tablet's orientation?

That is by design: landscape on tablets will show Primary breakpoint view, Portrait shows the Tablet view.
It is not the resolution of the tablet, but of the browser that is important. You can find them on viewportsizes.com. You will see that although many smartphones have very high resolution, browser resolution is very small.

How to create portrait (vertical) page layout in Captivate 8's Responsive Project?

In Cp8's Responsive Project feature, the page layout for "Primary" and "Tablet" are landscape. What if I want to create slides of a portrait (vertical) layout? In the "Primary" (PC) layout, I've tried to dragged the border of the stage to the minimum width and the maximum height allowed. But it doesn't seem to me like the right solution.

Thanks for your reply, Lilybiri.
In Responsive Project, the default size of Tablet is 768(W) x 627(H), so, since the width is larger than the height, I thought that you'd want to hold the tablet horizontally in order to see the 768(W) x 627(H) (which appears to me to be landscape) layout. But now it occurs to me, after reading your message, that the 768(W) x 627(H) layout of the tablet is viewed by holding the tablet vertically, and that when the tablet is held horizontally, the layout is automatically switched to the Primary view. Is that so?
The reason I want to change the primary view to portrait is that I want to create a tutorial based on some PDF pages which are in portrait layout. I convert those PDF pages to individual images using Acrobat Professional, then import them into Captivate. But I realize that the viewers would have to scroll down to see the lower part of the page.

MIME-TYPE is stored incorrectly sometimes, browsers can't display html content

Our company is switching from Netscape Communicator to Internet Explorer 5.5 . This resulted sometimes in html-documents which could not be opened in netscape anymore, but caused the save-as dialogue box to pop-up.
Analysis of this problem, with the aid of Oracle Support, showed some html-documents were stored in WWV_DOCUMENT with mime-type application/octer-stream. This is a mime type which should trigger the save-as pop-up dialogue in browsers. Netscape acts accordingly, but IE does display the content normally.
The following events cause this problem:
1. create a html document using a microsoft office product (word/excel)
2. DON'T close the document in the office application
3. Use the portal wizard to upload the file to a content area
4. Use table WWV_THINGS and WWV_DOCUMENT and see mime-type isn't text/html but application/octet-stream
5. IE shows the file, NN wants to save it.
The workaround to this problem is to close the file in MSOffice before uploading it.
Oracle Development confirmed it's the browser which sends this incorrect mime-type, and portal just stores this type. It seems this mime-type is overruling the extension to mime-type mapping in the configuration of Apache, using AddType or the file mime.types.
So the mime-types defined in apache are only used outside mod_plsql, that is, when files from the filesystem of the webserver itself are used.
When uploading a zip-file, and unzipping it in the database, all files get the right mime-type. It seems in this situation the mime-type is determined by looking either at the file-extention or the magic bits.
Oracle says it's a microsoft bug, so I'll have to ask Bill for a fix.
They are probably right, and I think I could reproduce this using CGI-scripting without modplsql and portal.
But:
It seems not logically to me that it depends on the method of uploading files (single files, or zipped files) which method of mime-type determination is used.
Furthermore, I find it strange that it depends on the storage location of the file (database or filesystem) which mime-type is presented at the user.
I'd like to hear your opinions about this

You want to be using <html:link forward="YOUR_FORWARD"> only when you want to forward to static elements and not elements that require actions. So in index.jsp, since you just want to forward to a static jsp page (allarticle.jsp), you can use
<html:link forward="show">Show All forum</html:link>But since you want your "one forum" link to populate a session attribute BEFORE loading /jsp/loveforum.jsp, you need
<html:link action="article">one forum</html:link>The reason it's not working now is because you're accessing a session attribute that isn't populated becuase you link to the page statically and it never gets the value of "list" actually stored in the session.
The reason it works when you change your forward element is because it calls the action that saves "list" into your session.

Deluge and KDE - displaying incorrectly for one user only

My deluge (and possibly other gtk apps) are being displayed incorrectly in KDE. You can see the screenshot attached, but the thing I mostly notice is the progress bar. On my laptop, as well as any other user account on the PC in question, it's a very blue progress bar (so 100% torrents will be all blue, 0% no blue, and obviously in between as % increases). In the past I've messed with various gtk/kde rendering apps (so that gtk apps will display "correctly" in KDE), but I don't currently have any installed. I also have rm'ed the configs in question per the wiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … plications ). I have tried removing the deluge config for my current user and it still doesn't "fix" the issue. I've gone through kde system settings to setting all display options to default-type options (which is what my laptop is set to).
Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on where I could look to fix this? It's mostly an annoyance, but I've been trying to fix it for a while now so thought I'd finally ask for some help.
EDIT: I realize this should be in the Desktop/Apps sections, so if a mod could move it for me, that would be much appreciated.

1. You said the projects were all saved "to a shared folder." Do you mean THE Shared folder? Your Mac's Users folder should list two Users, plus a folder named "Shared". Is that the folder you mean?
2. The trouble is that an iMovie project isn't actually a file. It's a special kind of folder called a package, which contains other files and folders. (To look inside the package, Control-Click on the package icon and choose "Show Package Contents" from the popUp menu.)
3. When YOU are the user and you create a new iMovie project, the package and everything it contains is configured with you as the owner. You are the designated owner of all the items that comprise the project. No one else can Write to the project.
4. To change that, you have to change the project package into a normal Finder folder, adjust its permissions and the permissions of all the contents of that folder, then change it back into an iMovie package.
Here's how:
In the Finder, choose Finder > Preferences. Click Advanced and turn ON "Show all file extensions".
The name of your iMovie project "My Sample Project" is now displayed as "My Sample Project.iMovieProject" in the Finder.
Remove ".iMovieProject" from the project name, removing the period. When the Finder asks, say OK.
The project package has now turned into a folder. Select the folder and choose Get Info.
Set Others permissions to "Read & Write". Then click "Apply to enclosed items". When the Finder asks, say OK.
Select the folder name again and add the extension ".iMovieProject" to the name. The folder will change back to an iMovie package.
The package will now allow anyone to Read and Write to the project.
Karl
PS: This solution isn't very handy, obviously, but it does the job. A better solution is to buy an external hard drive, and configure it to Ignore permissions. (In the Get Info window for the disk.) That lets both users save projects to the drive without permission issues.

Iphone 5s incoming call number displays incorrectly.

Whenever I call my wife's Iphone from work, the number displays incorrectly on her caller ID. It is always dropping the third number of the area code, so if my work number was 123-456-7890, then when I call her it shows up on her phone as 124-567-890, it doesn't even show a ten digit number. So far I have noticed that it only happens when I call her from the landlines at my work. I also have the exact same iphone 5s on the same carrier and the numbers display perfectly fine on my phone so I feel like it's some setting in the phone. Before switching to an iphone we had her contacts imported from an old Verizon flip phone, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Has anyone seen or heard of a similar issue?
Thanks,
Dan

By the way I have completely reset all content and settings several times, tried turning off international assist, tried several suggestions I found online dealing with the sim pin, switched to a different phone to have the same thing happen on that phone also. I have the same exact iphone 5s and carrier and service plan and the numbers appear perfectly on my phone. I'm so confused why this is happening.

Text caption height in responsive project is not automatically resizing

Hi all,
I have a Captivate 8 responsive project in which a text caption is not behaving properly. When I get down to smartphone-sized screens the width of the text caption reduces with the width of the device. But, the height of the text caption does not increase accordingly to fit the content. The text just gets cut off at the bottom.
I've tried the Auto height setting for the object size, but this scales the text down within the boundaries of the text caption. I would like to maintain the size of my text and have it grow down the screen the way plain text does in an HTML page.
I also do not want to set my text caption height to 100% because I would like to stack objects beneath the text caption.
Any help or advice is great appreciated.

Hi cntdmds,
There's a setting buried in Preferences > Defaults > Autosize Captions that changes all text captions in your file. This has enabled my responsive layouts to work better in Captivate.
Re: creating something reliable: I'm in the midst of creating a large responsive e-learning course. It's been a really steep learning curve and a very frustrating one. I believe a reliable course can be created, but it's a hard journey. (My largest problem is my smart position markers don't stay at their assigned places, but I think I'm on track to solve it... perhaps.)
Yet to see if this whole responsive Captivate adventure will be worthwhile. I hope Articulate adds a responsive capability to Storyline.
Cheers.

How to display binary content in EP 5.0?

I would like to display binary content in a http-response. Formerly using a BSP-Application in Web-AS I achieved this by something like
call method mserver->response->set_header_field(
 name = 'Content-Type' value = mimetype ).
call method mserver->response->set_data( data = mimedata ).
Within the context of AbstractPortalComponent I dont find a way to set the content type in a way to directly display binary content in a PRT-Context.
What did I miss ..?

I know this is a little out of date but you can do the following:
/* Get the underlying HttpServletReponse object */
HttpServletResponse httpresp = response.getRequest().getServletResponse(true);
 try {
// This seems to be required to get rid of any buffered
// content
 httpresp.reset();
//Set appropriate content type here
 httpresp.setContentType("application/pdf");
//write out data
//in this case just a PDF in string format
 httpresp.getWriter().write(data);
 } catch (Exception e) {
// handle errors appropriately
NOTE: I haven't tested this in a productive environment so test this fully before implementing

This layout shows a folder tree on the left, a document list on the right. When you click on a document from the list it shows the contents of the file on the bottom of the iview.
Hope this helps,

Best practice for responsive projects

Does anyone have tips on best practices for responsive project?
I understand that 3 different layouts can be created. What happens if a learner is not using one of the 3 devices that were set up in a responsive project, and their screen size is different from any of those

Jay,
Dr. Pooja Jaisingh offered very valuable tips for good practice in responsive design last week in her webinar. 'Do's and Don'ts of creating Responsive Projects with Captivate 8'. I don't see the recording yet On Demand, but keep an eye on it.
Did you test a responsive project with F11 (Preview in Browser)? You will be able to change the resolution of the browser window and see that the content, if well designed (you can have absolute positioning, size as well) will move, shrink to adapt. The break points (3 devices) allow you to make more invasive changes at those points: dragging some objects out of the stage in the scratch area because they take up too much space for phones is one example. Or replacing a big screenshot with many details by a zoomed in detail screenshot for the mobile breakpoint. That is my way of explaining, responsive is not just have the three layouts for devices, it is also adapting between those breakpoints.

Display request contents in JSP page

i need to display the contents in a request in my JSP.
meaning:
i have a hashmap (containing string and a list) coming from the EJB tier to struts action in an event response object, I'm sure that the request has these values. cuz i tested it in struts action using the following code:
HashMap result = (HashMap)((EventResponseSupport)request.getAttribute(WebKeys.EVENT_RESPONSE)).getPayload();
System.out.println("Sponsor name = " + result.get("sponsor"));I am able to print it in the console but i need to know how to display it in the jsp. i tried many things but i can't get it right.
first i need to display the string and then i need to iterate through the list to display its contents in a table.
any help would be appreciated.

Kindly use JSP Scriplet to load the HashMap into the Page Context.
Then you can use the Struts iterate tags to paint the contents of the HashMap

39L4333DG - cannot display Flash content in web browser

Hello,
When I try to access Flash sites the web browser shows 'Missing plugin' in the frame where flash player should display the content.
Am I omitting anything?
I have installed the latest firmware: 7.1.90.34.01.1.
For a 2013 TV it is annoying not to have a full featured web browser on a SMART TV.
Is there any chance to have a full web browser in the next firmware version?
Thank you.

When I had similar problems the response from Toshiba was that the browser is only intended for limited use. My problem was not being able to access any site which required a password. Not rocket science you would think!

Why PDF's with transparency display incorrectly?

Hi everybody
I used this script ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/dps-pdf-to-indesign.html ) to create a magazine based on pdfs but I have a big problem.
The imported pdfs with trasparent elements display incorrectly but only in the vertical position as you can see in the images, in the horizontal and menu, display correctly.
I don't have control of the pdfs because the publisher send it already ready.
I used the v.22 for this pubblication because I can't update the app now but I installed the latest DPS tools.
Thanks in advance for help.

I know this is an old thread but i'd like to answer because it'll be helpful for someone looking for answers like I was today ;-)
This is an expected behavior for a PDF article. PDF Articles only supports transparency effects such as opacity and multiply, blending modes are not supported. However the same content if uploaded as a PNG/JPEG article should work fine.
It's also documented in this best practices document here Digital Publishing Suite Help | Best practices for creating overlays

Display the content of a text file in a browser

I am new to servlet, I have written a java servlet code which can read a file and display its content in command prompt only(resin),i would like to ask how can i display the content on the browser and i also want to ask how to write a servlet which can display the conetent from a web browser( e.g. whatever i type in a form) and produce the result in the text file.
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class read extends HttpServlet
public void doGet (HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
String applicationPath =
getServletContext().getRealPath ("");
String filePath =
getServletContext().getRealPath ("/WEB-INF/text.txt");
FileReader fr = new FileReader (filePath);
for (int chr = fr.read(); chr != -1; chr = fr.read())
System.out.print ((char) chr);
}

You have to create an object of PrintWriter and use that to display the output on the browser.
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println(chr);
Hope this helps..
