Splash page and embedded custom fonts?

Hi
Just wondering how I tag/name a splash/intro page for a website? For example say you have: home (index), about, gallery, contact. For every page you have them tagged the same so they link within the site. How or what do you name the splash/intro page?
Also, I have some custom fonts I want to use for my sites and am wondering how to embed them so they'll be seen on any browser? Is there a one for all code?
Thanks,
Lee

The use of "splash pages" has fallen out of common use (really starting back in the 90's) and should be avoided for search engine optimization reasons.
Don't waste the first page your viewer's see on a splash page with a big "whoopideedoo you found our site, look what I can do with javascript" type of effect/animation. The first page your viewers see should give them the info they need to make a decision on whether to keep clicking through your site. It's the most important page of your site, make sure it is full of relevant, keyword rich html text content. If you still want a big "rah-rah-sis-boom-bah" style effect for a first visit, put it in a modal window that shows on the viewer's first visit. Use javascript cookies to set it's css to display:none for future visits if you don't want it to pop up each time.

Help a novice! Embedding Custom Font in CS5

Hi!
Can someone help me understand how to embed a font in Dreamweaver CS5?
A quick google search reveals instructions for embedding custom fonts in older versions of Dreamweaver but not recent ones... Is this because its somehow automated in CS5? I'm not really sure what to do! Thanks for any help!

You don't embed fonts into Dreamweaver. You embed fonts into your web pages with CSS.
You will need to find a suitable font. Not all commercial fonts can be embedded without violating copyrights. Read the fine print in your license very carefully.

Hi Brett,
I took a look at these two posts: Re: Tips for getting the E10 email editor to change the email font for Outlook & other old-school email clients? and Re: E10 Fonts
It seems that there are reasons as to why only a few of the fonts are supported. You can drill down into the source code to edit the font type, but I'm not sure that will get you anywhere.
To drill down:
To get the desired font & size in various clients (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, Outlook) I found that specifying in the html works best.
So whether it’s a P or TD, tag I add the style attribute & specify the font along with color & size.
e.g.:
<td style="LINE-HEIGHT: 18px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 12px;">
Of course if you use the WYSIWYG editor you will have to view the html source & add this.

My firefox page/style format suddenly changed. I would like the original style format. Also, the size of the page and the print/font became too large and I can't seem to change it back. Thanks.

The new firefox (5.0 I think)) suddenly appeared. I did not request it. I want to change it bacl. Also, The font/print and page is too large and I want to return back to the original size Please help! Thanks.

Maybe it got zoomed? Try Ctrl-0 (zero) and see if the text changes back to normal.

Vista and Embedded Flash Fonts are missing?

I Just upgraded to Vista with a new development machine. Have
everything installed and good to go.
I open a previous Director File that contains swf assets and
static fonts. The fonts are simply missing. When I view the swf on
it's own... no problem and text displays perfectly. swf in Director
in Vista, no go. It worked perfectly in XP.
The files that are published with XP, the fonts in Flash
assets are all okay. Publish the exact same file in Vista, Fonts
are missing.
Any ideas?

Fixed it by installing the latest Flash8 Xtra. Wish adobe had
an installer that could just "update" the software rather than
manually replacing files... Ah well, all good now.

Using custom fonts in the Navigation pane

Hi
I'm using custom fonts in my webhelp. To do this, I created a folder for the web versions of the custom fonts and put it in the same folder as my css. I then added the font face elements to the top of my css (in Notepad). Next I used the custom font name for all the style defined in the css (in Notepad). That makes the content of the topics use the custom font. All good.
Next, I edited the htt file (in Notepad) to use the name of the custom font. Now the breadcrumbs and topic footer use the custom font. All good.
Finally, I want to use the custom font in the navigation pane (the text next to the books and page icons). I edited the skn file (in Notepad) to use the custom font. I also added a dependency for my css to the bottom of the skn file. Then I generated the webhelp.
When I launch the help, the browser (IE) doesn’t allow running scripts or ActiveX controls (this is normal). At this point, the TOC in the Navigation pane looks like it uses the correct font. Once I click to allow IE to run scripts, etc. the font in the TOC changes to something that looks like Times or some default serif font. So, it appears that something in the javascript is changing the font.
For good measure, I checked the whtdhtml file and the custom font name is used there.
Any ideas on what's happening and how to get my custom font to appear in the Navigation pane?
BTW, I use images only in the toolbar pane (that spans the top of the webhelp window), so I don't need to specify the custom font there.

Hi William
I found one error. In the skin file, I had added a dependency to my css. It was missing a slash (/) to point to the correct folder level. Now that I've added that, the TOC displays the same font as the Index, Search results, and the topic (content, breadcrumbs, and footer). So, that's good, but on closer inspection, it looks like Verdana, not my custom font.
I changed the font in whthost.js to the name of my custom font and generated the help, but it made no difference. I also changed the font and just opened the help without generating and got the same results.
For your second suggestion, you mean whtdhtml.htm not whtdhtml.js? The custom font is in the lines:
setFont("Normal", "MyFont","10pt","Black","Normal","Normal","none");
setFont("Hover", "MyFont","10pt","#004080","Normal","Normal","underline");
I added the tag to this file, but the tag just shows up as plain text within the webhelp TOC (no matter where I insert it in the file).
I also tried changing the font to my custom font for the Index body and Search results using the steps in Rick's Skinny on Skins (editing the whibody.htm and whfbody.htm files). When I do this, the serif font appears in the Index body and Search results.
It seems like the files cannot "see" my custom fonts (which are in a folder at the same level as my css).

Custom fonts not loading while Edge Animation inside an iFrame

Hi can someone help me with this strange problem? Custom fonts, specifically, Typekit fonts I used in my Edge Animate animation is not loading IE 11 when the animation is inside an iFrame. If you view the animation HTML directly on the browser, the fonts load perfectly fine.
Here is an example where the animation is inside an iFrame and part of a webpage where fonts are not loaded when using IE11.
http://www.pandaequipment.com/test/contact.html
and here is the HTML file directly where fonts and loaded fine in IE 11
http://www.pandaequipment.com/test/edgeanimate_assets/myhero/Assets/myhero.html
All the other browsers I tested don't have this problem.
Can someone tell me some ways to fix this in IE?

Hi Keith,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. I also saw this issue when I tested your site in Chrome on OS X 10.9, although the fonts worked on reload because they were then cached in the browser.
I suspect the the issue is in the "src" attribute on the iframe:
iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="edgeanimate_assets/myhero/Assets/myhero.html"
Would you try changing the src to a full path, and see if the fonts load into the iframe?
iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://www.pandaequipment.com/test/edgeanimate_assets/myhero/Assets/myhero.html"
Background: Typekit gets the domain name from the browser referrer and uses it to check that the site matches the listing on your kit. This is one of the security layers to make sure someone can't steal your Typekit fonts and use them on their own site. When loading fonts into an iframe, the iframe referrer needs to match as well.
If the iframe referrer doesn't match or is blank, the behavior is browser-specific. Some browsers will use the referrer of the parent page and so the fonts load, while others don't apply the fonts at all.
Setting the iframe src to the full URL should ensure that a referrer is sent, and may fix this issue.
Please give that a try, and let me know how it goes! Thank you,

Guest Splash Page with Cisco WLCs Help

Hi,
I need some guidance using Web Authentication / Web Pass-through to create a mandatory splash page that is presented to users of our guest WLAN. Currently our guest WLAN is wide open, users connect and go straight through to get Internet Access. Here's what we'd like to accomplish.
1. Have the page hosted on an external web server (i.e not on the controller)
2. Present Terms of service
3.
a. Present an optional field to enter an email address & date of birth (DOB) to opt in for marketing purposes
OR
b. Present a mandatory field to enter an email address with an optional check box and DOB to opt in for marketing (the idea behind option b, is that whether they opt in for marketing or not, we could still some how use the email as a username, but not require a password. In the hopes of then using this as a unique identifier in the WLC for troubleshooting / reporting purposes)
4. At the very end, have an "I Agree" button
5. Re-direct to our copmany's public facing website
Our controllers are 5508s, running 7.4.121.0. I more or less have an idea of how to accomplish this, but I've never used Web Auth / Web Passthrough with a Cisco Controller before, so I'm hoping someone can clear up a few things for me.
1. Am I correct that, when using an External server to host the login.html page, we must use Web Authentication, since Web Pass-through is only an option when using an Internal Page? Web Pass-through seems ideal for us, since we don't care about credentials, but from what I'm reading, it seems restricted to Internal (on the Controller) deployments only.
Based on these
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wlan-security/115951-web-auth-wlc-guide-00.html#passthrough
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wireless-lan-wlan/116879-configure-wlc-00.html
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/4400-series-wireless-lan-controllers/107474-web-pass-config.html
2. If Web Pass-through is not an option when using an External deployment, is there any way we could use an email address as a username, but not require a password? If not, is hiding the username/password fields in the html code of the splash page, and using a single pre-configured default username / password the only other option ? As described here: https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/10847046/unsecured-guest-access-customizable-splash-page-and-logo
3. It sounds like SSL cert warnings may be an issue even if we use an External deployment, because the controller still acts as a middle man. Is this correct, and is the best fix to install a valid 3rd party cert on the controller?
P.S. I’m aware of the Big Brother type things that can be done with Cisco MSE and Connected Mobile Experiences, as far as guest tracking / marketing / analytics go. However, that’s way more than we’re looking to do at this point.
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide!

Hello Jonathan,
The idea you have is fine, the only exception is the extra fields of information that you want to collect. From the WLC perspective this is not possible to gather.
The example given on https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/10847046/unsecured-guest-access-customizable-splash-page-and-logo looks very interesting, and as long as the WLC receive the information it needs to authenticate the client, you can modify the HMTL code as you want. However, as somebody state on that post, Cisco provides the html example, but we do not really support the html content creation or modification.
Anyway below on answer #2 I am giving you an idea that could work (again Im not html expert I don't know if that could be achieved that way) maybe you can have a better idea.
To answer your queries:
1) The customized web-passthrough page can be hosted on an external Web Server.
When the pages are on an external webserver, the passthrough is still performed on the WLC, just the pages reside on the external server. It is a good idea to be sure that the pages come up ok on the external server without webauth involved since webauth will not work unless the external webserver works
2) We have examples of what HTML content a customized Web Passthrough page should include. If you add extra fields on the HTML code (like email address & date of birth), the WLC won't be able to handle this data and most probably you won't be able to gather this information from the WLC , unless you customize the web page in such way that it sends the fields email address & date of birth to another server (rather than to the WLC) to gather this information, but at the end what matter for the WLC is to receive the click on the "Accept" button to authenticate the client.
3) Regarding the certificate, there are two options, the cheapest and easiest is to disable HTTPS for web authentication. Then, your guests will open an HTTP web page, without having the certificate warning.
Whether or not you perform local or external web authentication, you still hit the internal web server on the controller. When you redirect to an external web server, you still receive the certificate warning from the controller unless you have a valid certificate on the controller itself. If the redirect is sent to https, you receive the certificate warning from the controller and from the external web server, unless both have a valid certificate.
In order to get rid of the certificate warnings all together, you need to have a root level certificate issued and downloaded onto your controller. The certificate is issued for a host name and you put that host name in the DNS host name box under the virtual interface on the controller. You also need to add the host name to your local DNS server and point it to the virtual IP address (1.1.1.1) of the WLC.
This link provides information about WebAuthentication on an External Web Server, however exactly the same applies for Web Passthrough:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wlan-security/71881-ext-web-auth-wlc.html
Also, you can download the WebAuthentication bundle, with the examples and some useful information about different customized web pages, it can be used as a template to build your page. Here you will see that Web Passthrough to an external server is indeed a valid option, when you download and unzip it, open the "readme.html"

Importing custom fonts into iPhone apps - HELP?!

Hey guys, new to these forums. Just wondering if somebody could answer a few questions regarding successfully importing and using custom fonts into iPhone applications. As shown here,

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1447085
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/360751/can-i-embed-a-custom-font-in-an-iphone -application
some have shown success in doing just that. To those who have done it, what i wanted to simply ask is:
What type of subclass did you put the code in? Mines is a UIView subclass but doesnt work.
What kind of interface and with what controls are you using? I am simply making a UIView with the code in order to test to see if it works and test other properties and customizable functions of the custom fonts. It doesnt work.
What specific property declarations must be in the .h file? I have none and it doesnt work.
Note that when I say it doesnt work, it actually compiles without errors, but when I build and go I just get a blank grey screen.
What say you?

To use Stanza you need Stanza's desktop client in order to get your books onto the iPhone. If you have an account with eReader.com, you can upload personal content to your bookshelf and transfer them to eReader on your iPhone in the same way you do books purchased from eReader's website. Keep in mind that neither will work with MobiPocket books that are DRM protected. Stanza will work with non-DRM formatted books (including Mobi's format), but nothing which has DRM protection. I have both and use Stanza for anything without DRM protection, and eReader for books Palm formatted books with DRM protection.

I can't get on secured websites like my bank or email. The login stays on a flash page and never goes to the content.

When I try to log into my bank account, the login takes as usual, then the splash page comes up that says 'verifying your identity' and never goes away and I never get to my bank account. Other browsers, like IE and Chrome log in fine. I have an e-mail login that does the same thing at https://register.concentric.com/login.cgi
It just has the circle going around on a "Logging In" splash page and never goes to the mail.
Again, other browsers work fine.

Will google list a splash page made within another website in iWeb?

I've tried submitting a website to google multiple times but they aren't picking it up/listing it. I'm wondering if that is because it is set up as a splash page within another website. I'm trying to get nateweldon.com listed, but it is built within the seaserpentrecords.com website I made in iWeb. It is a hidden page I've set up within seaserpentrecords.com to save money on hosting. Any tips to make nateweldon.com searchable in google?
Thanks so much for any help.

Where do you publish your website - MobileMe or another server?
Are you using masking to forward the domain name - nateweldon.com ?
Splash pages and masking are two of the things to be avoided with SEO.
If you have only one root folder on your server you need to publish the nateweldon site as a sub site with its own folder so that its URL is...
http://www.seaserpentrecords.com/nateweldon/
Create and upload a sitemap.xml for the above URL and upload it to the nateweldon folder....

I paid for CC. I want a Paid Professional Subscriber splash page!

Yes, I know it's a minor nit-pick, but I'm already tired of seeing the "Softwarename Trial" splash page when I open my CC apps. I realize that it needs to verify my subscription, but couldn't there be a slightly different verification page for paid subscribers? One where the default response button would be to sign in with your Adobe ID, rather than the "Continue Trial" (not applicable) or "License This Software" (already done) buttons.

How frequently are you having to go through the "Softwarename Trial" splash page and complete the "License This Software" process again?
A few more questions I was curious about:
- Are you on a Windows or Mac computer? which version?
- Is the behavior happening in all products?
I'm moving this thread over to our download/installation forum.

Problems with custom template splash page

Hi Folks,
We're having issues with a custom template which is used for our splash page at https://servername:8000/index.html. Autoconfig is set up correctly and should be parsing some variables but doesn't seem to be doing so.
It parses this ok:
<a href="%s_webentryurlprotocol%://%s_webentryhost%.%s_webentrydomain%:%s_active_webport%/OA_HTML/AppsLocalLogin.jsp" style="font-size: 160%;">Click Here To Login</a>but then this part is not parsed at all:
<td>
 You are connected to %s_systemname% on %s_webhost%.
 These details may be required for support purposes.
 </td>Can someone enlighten as to why this is happening please? I've tried many combinations of variables and html tags but am lost.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards, Pete

There is an "undocumented" parameter you need to include in your
page. It MUST be a hidden field value called "p_action". The
form hidden value is either "OK" or "CANCEL" (case sensitive).
Thus, when the form is submitted, this parameter states to
commit the changes. Useful if you have a "Save" button and
a "Cancel" button.
