Setting the graphic location to a local file (RESOLVED)

Hi,
I placed an image on my report and set the graphic location to an Excel file with a list of web addresses. The report successfully outputs the image from each of those web addresses.
I've tried putting a local file address in my Excel file (for example, "File: and it doesn't appear to work (Crystal outputs the default image instead). Does Crystal Reports not allow for this?
Thank you.

Nevermind, got it to work. Just needed to format the file path a bit differently in Excel.

Setting the Graphic Location to https address

I want to provide the user the option to set the location (http or https) of the logo file.
It works fine when the graphic location of Picture was set to http:// address whereas it is https:// it doesn't display the image.
When I use IE to load the image both http and https location works fine.
Is this is known issue or is there any way I can debug to find out what's causing this issue.
Thanks for your response.

Hi,
If you have the same issue mentioned in note #1281124 below is the description:
Note can be searched from here:
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/notes]
Symptom
Crystal Reports .NET SDK application.
Production system with CR .NET SDK (version 12) installed.
Change graphic location of a picture object to http source.
The picture object doesn't change if a HTTP source is used.
The picture object changes correctly if local file is used on a mapped drive.
Reproducing the Issue
Crystal Reports 2008 SP1
Visual Studio .NET 2003, 2005, or 2008
Add a Picture object to a Crystal Report
Right click the picture object on the report and select Format Graphic
Click on the Picture tab
Click on the X-2 button beside Graphic Location
Enter the URL of your graphic. For example "http://www.sap.com/canada/company/press/images/Raihan_Riaz.jpg"

Open File Dialog, Select either FIle or Folder, but Set the Initial Location to ftp://

Hello,
I want to be able to open a file dialog, set the initial location to an ftp:// address, and allow the user to select individual files or a directory.
I can use the File Dialog express VI, and wire in a start path, but the problem is that the filepath constant does not allow you to input ftp://[IPAddress]. If you type it in it will automatically adjust the path to read . If you right click, and hit browse and go to an ftp site, the dialog will not let you select a file or folder. And no you cannot type the address into a string and then convert that to a path. If you do it will look just like the image above.
I can use .NET functions as seen below, but it is not trivial to allow the user to select files or a folder. The same is true if I write it in C++ (although I haven't tried this yet, just googled selecting files or folders in a file dialog).
EDIT: I just realized that with .NET if I select a single file, the FileName it returns points to a temporary internet folder on my computer for example: C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\P01ODP0F\ni-rt[1].ini
The FileDIalog Express VI has these very options.
So what is the easiest way to have an initial ftp address path for a file dialog, and allow the user to select files or a folder?

Have never had to do that before - that's a bit of a drag.
Some thoughts.
1) Can you map a drive to that FTP address and go from there?
2) You could try rolling your own dialog via FTP - that's something I've definitely done before!
In the following snippet, I start an FTP session on the NI FTP site, log in as anonymous, list the base directory files/folders and then close my session. I then unbundle the directory listings array and plug the name and item type into the item names of a multicolumn listbox.

Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?

We have ConfigMgr 2012 in our environment. We are in EST.
Is there any way to set the SCCM system to use local time instead of UTC?
When we try to deploy packages, if you don’t specify the time, it reverts to UTC which for us is off by 5 hours.

Which times are you talking about? Deployment start times or deadlines? Those could be set to UTC *or* client local time.

"abc.sql" or "Abc.sql" in the input text.
How to achieve this ? Is there any function provided to get the exact local file name ?
For example, if I input "abc.sql" , it can return "Abc.sql".

High number of "The connection has timed out" errors. Where do I set the time out period (variable and file name) - windows 7

I usually use a wireless network at home and have very few time out problems with Firefox.
I am travelling and using Optus Wireless broadband where the average ping to a site is 700+ms .
I suspect that this is the cause of the high number of timeouts I am experiencing.
Optus say there are no problems so I think I will have to set the timeout to a longer period.
Please advise what variable name/s (and in which file) the timeout is set for LOADING PAGES.
Thanks in anticipation.
Greg Atkinson.
By the way the same is happening in IE8
and on many sites other than the Yahoo one below.
================Full Error Page ==============
URL is http://au.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1&.rand=81jkv757qfdqt
=========================================
The connection has timed out
The server at au.mg4.mail.yahoo.com is taking too long to respond.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Having the same problem 4 out of 5 times I try to navigate to a new site I get the error "connection has timed out".
My I phone works fine on the same wireless connection so it must be something to do with the computer. The problem occurs on IE, firefox, and google chrome.
I too would like to know how to how to either fix this problem or failing that to extend the length of time before the connection times out (which is currently only about 5 seconds).
Please help!
Thanks in advance

[web] how can i set the name of an exported html file

Hi, I'm writing a plugin to export galleries for my homepage (standard html stuff). My current solution works and it creates a file named "index.html" and some additional stuff. Now I want to change the name of the created html file in the plugin (for example create a file galleryX.html with X being a number that is entered by the user). Is there a way to do this? Thank you in advance, Sebastian

I think the names of the files come from the plugin manifest. So you would create a file used as a template, and the name of that file would be the name of the resulting file.
AddPhotoPages and AddGridPages take options to control the target HTML filename that might give you what you want, as well.

Setting the first page in a mobi file

Hello,
I am exporting from indesign cs5 to mobi through a plugin. I was wondering if it's possible to manually set the first page that the document opens to. I'd like it to be the cover or the TOC, but my kindle just skips all that and goes straight to the editor's note. I am using a manually created TOC in the indesign document, so that could be why my kindle is skipping it, but I'd like to change that "default" if at all possible. Thanks SO much for your help!

If you want to use the Acrobat SDK, which is a tool for automating
Acrobat, you need to buy and install Acrobat on each client.
Adobe's PDF Library, which doesn't require Acrobat and has a different
(negotiated) licensing model based on royalties might be a better fit.
In either case, this would be written in C/C++.

Where the default location of generated source files?

Hello!
In my processor I create several source files and check it's names for existance before
private String genClassName( final String packageName, final String key, final String suffix )
        final StringBuilder suggest = new StringBuilder( packageName ).append( key ).append( suffix );
        final Elements elementsUtil = processingEnv.getElementUtils();
        int i = 0;
        while( elementsUtil.getTypeElement( suggest ) != null )
            suggest.append( i++ );
        return suggest.substring( packageName.length() );
    }If I not define -s option for javac at first time compile and then set it to some location, then some generated before files are visible for this method and numbers added.
So, the question: where to find a default "shadow" source tree to clean up it before next compilation with changed -s option?
Sorry for my english and thanks for answers
Edited by: Maxoid2 on Jun 3, 2008 10:34 PM

The directory to clean up is where the -s option pointed to last time.
The simplest way to do this is to always use the -s option and don't change it. Using the default value for -s option (which is the same as -d) tends to lead to problems. I always specify -s option, and make it different to -d option and -sourcepath.
If you do this you don't even have to clean it up, javac only looks in there for files that it placed there. Files from previous builds get overwritten. Files from previous builds that are not overwritten are ignored.
with a separate -s directory, it just works.

In Firefox 3.6.13, I've set the Smart Location feature to "Nothing" but the next time I start up Firefox it has reset the location bar to search "Bookmarks" ! This is very annoying that it won't stay set to do nothing.

I go to "Tools", "Options" and then "Privacy". At the "Location Bar" I set it to "Nothing" and then accept. The next time I restart my laptop from "Sleep", start up Firefox and start typing in a web address in the location bar it shows me the "Bookmark" stuff.

Setting the Author and Modified Time of Files and Folders via 2013 Rest

Hi
We've got an 3-legged-oAuth, `permissions on the fly` app that interacts with Sharepoint via the Rest AP. We're running into some hurdles preserving ownership and modification metadata on files migrated into the system.
With Sharepoint, the typical approach is to authorize a single admin user an use their credentials to upload every file arriving from the source. The problem: every file's author is now the admin user.
Is there any way to change the Author of a file during the initial upload or afterwards? The docs here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn450841(v=office.15).aspx#bk_FileCheckOut suggest not.
Some services, such as Box and Google Drive provide various delegated authorization capabilities to create files on someone else's behalf. Perhaps this is an option? We could, for example, multiplex a set of oAuth tokens but that would require potentially
hundreds of users going through the rigamarole of the 3-legged oAuth flow.
Is our only option a C# app to fill in these gaps?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to change the Author of the file.
If you don’t want to use the C# option, we can use the JavaScript to retrieve the created by field then change it.
There are two similar articles, you can have a look at them.

How to set the initial path of a Select File dialog.

I'm using the Flex3 File.browseForOpen() method. I'm opening a xml file; but I want to seed a path to the open dialog so used don't have to do much file navigation. Is there a way to specify a path that the file browser starts in?
Thanks.
-Hays

Answering my own question.
var file:File = File.desktopDirectory; //this is the initial dirrectory as long as it's valid
file:File.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, newXMLSelected);
file:File.browseForOpen("XML", [new FileFilter("XML", "*.xml")]);

How to set the default location of a new window in Preview?

Opening a new document in Preview always results in a new window that is located at the upper left of the screen.
I'd like to have all of my Preview documents open in a second monitor, but this doesn't appear possible. Does anyone have any insight to offer?
Thanks.

HI,
Open Preview/Preferences and select the General tab.
You can make a selection there but unfortunately I don't think Preview supports a connected monitor.
But don't give up hope. Go here and post in the Apple Technologies forum. Perhaps a Terminal guru can offer a command to use to do this for you.

UDDI sample clinet not setting the wsdl location

Hi
I am using the uddi PublishService2UDDI.java of dev2dev and am trying to register
a deployed service with a name and a wsdl url location. The program runs successfully
and registers the service but the "overview url" where the wsdl url is supposed
to be is blank!.
Is this a problem with the code? or a bug in the 7.0 sp1? If I try it from the
GUI it registers the service perfectly.
thanks
Anamitra

Hi Anamitra,
Sounds like you are making good progress. You can reach the overview
structure by doing the getTModelDetail with tModel key. There is an
established convention for this, you might want to take a look at the
UDDI Best Practice for Using WSDL in a UDDI Registry.
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/uddi-spec/doc/bp/uddi-spec-tc-bp-using-wsdl-v108-20021110.htm
Concerning the UDDI explorer, we have made improvements to this tool in
WLS v8.1, however it is not a full GUI interface to the registry, but
simply a browser.

Hi Bruce
I now tested the findTmodel and found both the models registered by JAX R client
and the Weblogic client. But am only able to get handle to the TModelList. TModelList
gives TModelInfos which gives TModelInfo - which has no api to access the overview
url. That is there only if I get the handle to the TModel object which has the
api to getOverviewDoc() which has sthe wsdl url. How do I get a handle to the
TMdoel?
Also why is the uddiexplorer not showing me the TMdels?
thanks

Hi Anamitra,
The overview URL is hung off the tModel and the PublishService2UDDI does
a save service. You can add this code if you wish, an example of the
client code can be found here: http://webservice.bea.com/index.html#qz42
Right, you can use any UDDI v2 compliant client to access the WLS UDDI
server, including SUN's JAXR or UDDI4j for example.
Also, we've made a number of usability improvements to the UDDI Explorer
for WLS 8.1 (http://host:port/uddiexplorer/index.jsp) and specifically
I
believe what you would be looking for in your case is the "access URL"
that points to the saved service.
