Showing DPS functionality with HTML file?

Hello,
I am mocking up a website using InDesign, and I have indicated the interactivity using DPS (buttons, scrolls, MSOs, etc). I'm wondering if there's a way I can export an HTML file that will show all the functionality? If not HTML, is there another file format that I could save, that is not a .folio? I want to be able to email a file to people who do not have InDesign or the Adobe Content Viewer.

No to both. If you want to preview this content with someone they need to install Adobe Content Viewer and then you can share the folio with them for review.

The DPS continues to NOT work with html files

Hi Adobe guys...i try the last 2 days to upload one white page with one html file (1MB)...the procedure fails all time...I see the "Error During Download" message. And the server seems to produce abnormal big files (156 of 417 MB)....
The other 2 projects was produced before your DPS update and contains multiple html files....Any reason for this? Thanks

This isn't a DPS support site, but rather a community forum. You should contact Adobe via your support agreement if you're looking for technical assistance.
The issue sounds related to how you're trying to use HTML files. We have HTML articles every month and don't have any issues.
My only thought is that the folder you're selecting to include when you import your HTML articles has lots of extra data in it, which is bloating the size of the folio.

How to show applets in a html file ?

Hi all
I have created an applet with jdev ,and I also generated the corresponding html file and a main method. So the java file runs standalone when I click on the run button , but when I copied the class file and the html file in a web server, then there is nothing in the applet region ! Can anyone help me ?

Help with html files when placing Web Content overlay

Hi there,
We have an educational app with lots of interactive exercises - all of which were initially designed in Flash.
I have converted the fla files into hmtl using Wallaby. For each fla file, Wallaby creates a js, css and html file as well as an assets folder.
When I place the Web Content frame, and link it to the html file, do I link it to the actual html file Wallaby created? It won't let me select the folder with all of the files in it as is, and I can't link it to a zip file either... So how does it recognise the assets if I only select the html file? (see screenshot)
Or do I need to add an HTMLResources folder and link it to that?
Thanks in advance for any help given.

You link to the HTML file but make sure these things are in their own folder or InDesign will add EVERYTHING in the folder that has the html file in it.

Does lightbox work with html files (or only png, jpeg, other image files)?

The following image is not displaying in lightbox when I click on the thumb:
<a href="images/example.html"
But it does appear when I don't allow Active X.
Is there something i need to change for lightbox to accept html files?
Thanks!
Ken D

AFAIK, Lokesh Dhakar's Lightbox scripts only work with web images (PNG, GIF, JPG).
For other modal window systems that DO support multiple file types -- including HTML, Media, Ajax and iframes, see links below.

URL iview with HTML file located in Portal server.

I created URL iview pointing to HTML file located in the Portal server. When I try preview it is not working. We wanted to use this iview to create space between two iviews.
This is going to be blank iview.
I saved the HTML file same as where index.html file of webas is located.
Please let me know what is missing here. What kind of path I need to give in the URL of the iview.

Hi Nagesh,
Are you saying that you created a HTML file on the file system of the portal server or did you create the HTML file within a KM repository on the portal?
If it is the 1st option you should have the HTML file hosted under a webserver such as IIS or Apache and then use the URL that the website is created under.
If it is a file within KM then open the properties of the HTML document that you have created and use the Access Link value as the URL for the iView.
Please let me know if you need further clarification.
Regards
Daniel

Cannot upload application with HTML files

Try to upload application on device Blackbarry 7100, but allways get error
"The application GuideBook cannot ge loaded because some required files are not available."
But D:\Projects\Blackberry\SampleApplications\phonegap\GuideBook.cod exists ! Yes, my application uses HTML files, maybe i need to add them also?

Thanks for your fast reply. My fast answer is:
Strange things
1. I tried to connect to htmldb as you asked me. It was OK from localhost and remote computer, too.
2. WEB folder experimenting wasn't successful from local computer again, BUT IT WAS SUCCESSFUL (via XDB login) FROM REMOTE COMPUTER. (I haven't tried it yet before...)
I have read the information you wrote about DAD some days ago, and I found it valuable. The only different thing in XE (after you restore the pls dad) is the user.package.procedure calling INSIDE the package, which - as I understand - is a new thing. Eg. calling from one procedure from the other in package test in 9i was simple: test.procedure1. But now you HAVE TO put username at the beginning of the calling, like: hr.test.procedure1 which means that you can compile the old package without error, however you cannot use the procedure calling inside the package. That is the reason I had to change them. Another new thing, that if you want to share your http package, that you have to add an execute grant on it to public. So there are some differences, not big, nevertheless important changing.
After this long dissertation, my question is still how can I reach an image folder from my package. Now I can reach the WEB folder from an old NT4 machine, so I can upload and download images, making folders, etc. But how can I reference them? (Anyway I do not now the reason, why I cannot reach WEB folder from the local computer...)
Sorry for the long long long spiel. Waiting for your answer.

Deploying Servlet with HTML file on Tomcat

Hi ,
I created a servlet and an html file. The html file accepts user data and passes it to servlet.
I want to deploy these two files using Tomcat server. Please tell me a sure procedure for deploying both files.
Regards,
ap.

First of all its better to make a jsp rather than one HTML and a servlet but anyhow in order to deploy it first build your project and create a war file which should contain your HTML and servlet and the web.xml.
Then place this war file inside the webapps folder of tomcat.Start the tomcat and hit your HTML on the browser....

"Bookmarks and history system will not be functional" with corrupt files found by Avast and websites loading slow ONLY in Firefox

Firefox is the only browser that lets me connect with my microphone. I need to use this feature for an online class. Earlier this evening, the message prompting me to allow or deny the class website permission to use the microphone stopped appearing, and without it the recording won't pick up any sound and I can't record anything.
I tried exiting and restarting Firefox. I had some extensions in use at the time, in particular Session Manager. The allow/deny message still wouldn't appear, so I restarted my computer.
Now when I open Firefox I see the "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" error message. In addition, the browser loads websites extremely slowly; it takes several minutes to load each page or for me to be able to click on anything (the URL bar, the menus, etc) My other browsers (Internet Explorer and Chrome) are running normally and load websites at a normal speed. I tried downloading the latest version of Firefox but it didn't fix anything. I also tried restarting the computer again but that didn't help either.
I ran my Avast software system check and it turned up that the following files under "C:\Users\(me)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Irozixj7.default" are "corrupted and unreadable":
-cookies.sqlite-shm
-cookies.sqlite-wal
-localstore.rdf
-places.sqlite-shm
There was one more problem on the scan, but it probably isn't relevant: for the file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates\{9A2C6FA7-E04E-4819-B86A-8363A9D1E42A}\mpengine.dll" it says "The system cannot find the path specified." When I attempted to follow the path indicated, one of the folders (I can't remember which) said something along the lines of "You can't access this folder, do you want to permanently allow access to this folder?" I said yes and was able to access the folder.
I have tried to add the Places Maintenance extension but the speed is too sluggish to download anything. Trying to access any of the menus results in the browser freezing for several minutes then unfreezing but with the menu still unopened. Therefore none of the solutions found here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional?esab=a&as=aaq) seem to work.
My questions are as follows:
-Is it possible to figure out what caused the problem in the first place?
-Is there a way for me to fix it without losing my bookmarks and history?
-How can I avoid this happening again in the future?

First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder. To quickly access this folder:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Next, keep this folder open, exit Firefox, and try moving the "corrupted and unreadable" files to a different folder. With the exception of localstore.rdf, which stores window positions, toolbar customizations, and other nonessential data, the other files appear to be session-specific files that hopefully are not critical. If you restart Firefox, does it behave more normally?
If not, try creating a fresh Firefox profile. It will have the Flash plugin, which is the control sites usually use to connects your camera and/or microphone, and other plugins, but otherwise will be a new setup. This article has the steps for starting up in the Profile Manager: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]].
If sites work normally in the new profile, you can import your bookmarks from your old profile, as well as copying over other files that don't seem to be causing the problem. Some trial and error might be required to determine that. This article has some tips: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].
If the new profile is no better, you can exit Firefox and use the Profile Manager to switch back to your original profile.
Any improvement?

Progress at List Folder function with many files in a folder

I use the List Folder function of LabVIEW and want to see the progress because it takes much time (20 sec) to load all the files in an array.
How can i do this?

There are about 3000 files and the folder is a server.
Well, that would certainly do it, especially since you said it's on a server, hence a network drive.
In this case i was looking for a progress for the List Folder to use that in a progress indicator for the user.
Unfortunately, there is no built-in mechanism for this. Perhaps you can organize the files in such a way that you can get a list of them in "chunks", based on some search pattern. Or perhaps you can organize them in folders so that you dynamically populate the subfolders when a user wants to see what's inside.
Aside: having 3000+ files in a folder is a poor way to orgranize files, especially on a server, as this leads to a massive amount of file I/O and network I/O burden on the server.

"Open In" functionality with .ibooks file does not work

I am using the latest iBooksAuthor v2.2 and exporting an iBook to the .ibooks file format. I have tried with and without a version number. When I import the .ibooks file using the "Open In" functionality on the iPad it opens in the iBooks app. However, if the book is already in iBooks it does not overwrite the existing iBook with the new file that has the changes I have made. Am I missing a setting somewhere to ensure this works?

Hello kbbean,
The resource below will explain how to publish and update to your previously published book in the iBooks Store:

When client open folder with html files to preview web site, some pictures are missing when previewed.

However all images are in "images"folder. Same images are missing when previewed in Firefox and Explorer.
Any idea why?
Thanks.

Are you sending this other person all of the image files in
the same relative location as they are on your local computer?
For instance, if you are sending them index.html and your
images are in a folder called images, you should be sending them a
Zip file with the following enclosed:
index.html
images (folder)
image1.gif
image2.jpeg
If you are sending this type of structure to your other
party, check the links in code view. Make sure they are relative.
If they are, on the index.html page they would look like
images/image1.gif. If it says anything like C:/ or something that
points to a local drive they you will need to make sure the image
are within the site definition and then save the files
again.

Running Apache with html files on a mounted NAS device

Hi. I am hoping someone could help me out. I have been pulling my hair out for the past 2 days.
I am running Arch v0.8. I have very few packages installed -- I started with base install and added Apache, MySql, PHP, Samba and a few others.
Configuration:
- I have apache running as user=apache, group=apache. I changed this from nobody:nobody in httpd.conf.
- I have a Buffalo TerraStation on my lan. It is called edge_nas. It has a share called "linux".
- I successfully mounted the Buffalo share using the following entry in fstab:
//edge_nas/linux /mnt/edge_nas smbfs username=apache,password=theapachepassword,gid=apache 0 0
- I created a soft link in /home which points /home/httpd to /mnt/edge_nas/home/httpd.
- I want my web files on the Buffalo NAS device because it is raid 5.
Problem:
- Root is able to read and write anywhere on /mnt/edge_nas.
- Apache can read /mnt/edge_nas.
- Apache can write in its home directory on /mnt/edge_nas/home/apache.
- Apache cannot write in any other directory (especially /mnt/edge_nas/home/httpd/html).
Question:
- How do I grant apache read/write access to the html root?
Any ideas? Please be gentle.
Thank you for your help.

Please layout a clear step by step of what you did. That might make it easier to help you.
Ok. From the top...
On the Buffalo NAS (edge_nas):
- I logged into the Buffalo web-based admin screen.
- I created a new share called linux.
- I created a new user called apache.
- I granted read/write access to apache on the linux share.
On Arch Linux:
- I logged in locally as root.
- I created a new user apache, in group apache.
- I created a new directory called /mnt/edge_nas.
- I mounted the Buffalo share using the following entry in fstab:
//edge_nas/linux /mnt/edge_nas smbfs username=apache,password=theapachepassword,gid=apache 0 0
- I changed apache to run as apache:apache. I changed this from nobody:nobody in httpd.conf.
- In /home/httpd, I created a softlink for /home/httpd/html, pointing it to /mnt/edge_nas/home/httpd/html.
- I chmod 777 /mnt/edge_nas/home/httpd/html.
- I restarted apache.
- I created a summy index.html in that directory to ensure apache can see the mount.
To test it out:
- I logged into arch locally as my apache user.
- I cd'ed to /home/httpd/html.
- I tried to create a new text file with vi.
- I cannot open the text file for write.
I hope that helps. Please excuse any misuse of terminology.
Thanks.

ImportData function with a file on a web server

How do I get all the dynamically related files to show when working with wordpress files in DW?

I have set up MAMP on my Mac and have set up a user in phpmyadmin. I have downloaded wordpress and put it in the mamp folder. I have defined the site at MAMP/htdocs in Applications. I have started to look at the files through the index.php files near the root folder. I pressed 'discover' underneath the document tab to discover dynamically related files. However, this only results in five extra files being shown in the document tab as can be seen in the screen shot provided. Apparently I should have loads to play with. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
