Support for New Twitter Widget in Web Content Overlays

I have been looking for several days now for a solution that will allow me to present a twitter feed within a DPS Article that does not require utilizing the inapp browser. All of the solutions I have come across do not work. I know Twitter has changed thier API's. Is Adobe planning on doing somehting about this or are we letting the ability for twitter feeds to be embeded into a web overlay die?
Linking to the URL proves to be problemactic, the Web Overlay never resolves on the iPad and I am only presented with a perpetual loading pin wheel. Using iFrames does not work either, and more often than not upon a preview ID freezes and I have to Force Quit to get out of the frozen program. Pasteing the iFrame code directly on the layout appears to alomost work however that is only on the desktop and upon pasting the code onto the layout I presented with a dialoge saying there is some JS error. On the iPad I am only presented with an empty frame. I have even tried a sugestion to take the widget code and use the "Object > Insert HTML" option with no avail. I have many clients that are very upset that this functionalioty has gone away or has become impossible to impliment.
HELP!

I have already come across these "solutions".
I am on v27 and have been since its release.
I have tried method number one. It partially works however it is buggy. When the overlay initially loads, it flashes the Twitter URL before showing the feed in the overlay frame on the article. Additionally, it sometimes flashes back and forth from the Twitter Feed's URL and displaying the feed itself. This, for me is not a wholly valid solution but it will do for now since the only thing that remotely works. I suspect the URL flash has alot to do with the network connectivity of the device one is viewing the feed on. However, to flash that URL before the feed loads makes the overlay appear buggy.
And the second method most definitely crashes ID ever single time I attempt to preview the overlay either on desktop or iPad. And I have tried this method on several different machines, thinking it was my copy of ID. It still crashes upon preview, so mehtod two is not a valid solution at all, unless there is something special that needs to be in the HTML file (besides the twitter widget) for it to not crash ID, that I am unaware of.
Thank you for your assistance.

Invalid Url for Web Content Overlay

I am constantly getting this error when I try to upload a page with a web content overlay -- i even get thi smessage if i try to upload http://google.com.
sg

This link is likely being redirected, and redirects aren't allowed in Web Content overlays. For example, http://www.google.com will work, but http://google.com won't. Check the URL on a mobile device. A lot of sites get redirected to the mobile version: http://twitter.com becomes http://mobile.twitter.com.

Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay, ERROR!!!!!!

Hello All,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this error, I was working on my indesign file and was testing it out locally, then I went on to upload my file and I got prompt to install a new version of the Folio panel which I did, now every time I try to upload my file I get this "ERROR: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay", I've searched around and have not come up with an answer. Not sure if its a bug on the new update or what. I tried some troubleshooting which this is what i did. I copied my first page of my document onto a different file and tried to upload one page and then i got the error but then I deleted the images and just left one text box and it uploaded my file without any issues, strange huh. Any ideas????

I was having the same problem with both hyperlinks and buttons in one particular file -- "Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay." It seems to only be a problem in files where I had a link or button previously, and then deleted the object. When I create a new object and create a link or button, it's as though the old link is still lingering somewhere in the file! However, none of the old links is listed in the hyperlinks panel before I create a new one.
This occurred while I was teaching a DPS class, using the Adobe courseware (sight unseen by any proofreader, I believe). In one of the exercise files, the steps for the student to create hyperlinks and buttons had already been done, so I deleted the hyperlinks. (I think I deleted the text frames that contained them, but I'm not sure.) I never had a problem with it UNTIL I downloaded the Overlay Creator/Folio Builder dated June 19 (v21, I think).
In the same file, I also had problems with a NAVTO link, . I don't think there were any NAVTO links in any earlier version of the file, at least none that I ever created or deleted.
I've coded HTML since the days when the only available tool was Notepad, so I'm sure that I used correct URLs (and none redirected). Even the URLs in the deleted objects were correct; I only deleted them so the exercise could be done again.

Why am I getting the flag Invalid URL for web content overlay when making scrolling panel in Indesig

Why am I getting the flag 'Invalid URL for web content overlay" when making scrolling panel in Indesign? Iam making additions to existing articles but the problem is new. The articles were originally made using CS and now I am on CC, which I have just uninstalled and re installed, no difference, can anyone help please? Steve

Hi Bob, thankyou very much for coming back on this. The flag is coming up towards the end of the preview process on desk top. I have made dozens if not hundreds on my two published apps on the app store, but have not done an update for nearly a year, in which time I have needed a refresher, and as usual went to Lynda. In this case I have followed to the letter your DPS course, which is great, and I found the process of making the scrolling panels somewhat easier than when I started 2-3years ago. Initially I was mystified that the flag talked about url and web content, but just put it down to something I had missed in recent improvements in CC.
I tried over and over, but always got the same result. I thought at one point it might be because the content of my slide was copy and photo, so for a test I deleted the photo. Same result, and many of my existing slides are copy and picture.
I also uninstalled Indesign CC and reinstalled in case of corrupted content, I also copied to IDML and relaunch, same problem. I am sure I have made the scrolling content as instructed, The one thing I havn't done is trash my preferences, if you think that would be a good Idea could you please direct me to some content at Lynda on how to do it in CC. Many thanks, Steve

Short of dismantling and recreating a page how do i find out whats causing [Error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay]

Hi,
i received an indesign file to include in a folio that had links to the creators desktop where they had the assets for the web content overlay. When i try to update the folio i get the error message:
"Content generation error.
[Error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay]"
Which is fair enough.
The problem is, i have gone through and changed all URLs that I can see, but there is one somewhere, that I just can't find.
Is there a way to get a list of all web content overlays in a particular file? otherwise i will need to recreate the whole page again, and it has some pretty complex interactions which i rather wouldn't do.
I also cannot ask the original doc creator to just change the links as i'm sure he'll have the same issues as me, at not being able to track down the erroneous link.
The problem I have with DPS is that its not very transparent. you'll have to click on everything, and into every group to see what actions are on it, which can be extremely time consuming and frustrating when complex interactions are included.
thanks in advance for any assistance

I’ve found watching the process helpful to narrow down the page.
Working off a duplicate of the file, delete one layer at a time until you figure out what layer the problem is on.
From there it’s a bit easier to narrow down.

Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay. Help?

I am doing a french tranlation to an existing folio app that someone else created.
There is one page in my folio that is comprised of garbage and a trash can. You touch the garbage and drag it into the trash, and things change, etc.
I have an index.html file and a bunch of other images.
I can't even successfully add the article to my folio, I get this warning: Content Generator Error. Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay.
Can you walk me through how to get this to work?
Attached is a screen shot of my file structure...

MP4 Video throwing error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay

Converted a 15 second flv video to the following using Handbrake:
mp4
H.264 codec
"Placed" mp4 file into my article
Set Autoplay= On and 0.125s delay
Try to preview via InDesign a get the error: Invalid URL for Web Content Overlay
Try to update my article via Folio Builder and I get the same error.

It seems that you "placed" your video into the frame selected as Web Content in Folio Overlays Panel.
Delete that frame.
Place (in the normal InDesign way, not"place") your mp4 file onto the page.
Adjust the size of the frame to your video measurements.
Look at the Folio Overlays Panel. Your placed file should appear ther as Video Overlay.
Set your options and you are done.

Support for new Nvidia Quadro gpu?

When support for new Nvidia Quadro gpu? For example Nvida Quadro K2200 and K4200
Thk

What do you mean when you say "support"? All of After Effects OpenGL features already work on those cards.
The only thing that isn't supported on those cards is GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer, which is an obsolete and almost entirely irrelevant feature. No more GPUs will ever be added to the list of cards supported for that feature.

How to add support for new file type.

Using the ESDK, I would like to add support for new file type ( a new extension). this new extension will function like any other non visual code editor but will have specific syntax highlighting, code folding and explorer.
I am trying ot figure out if I need to create a new editor or use existing JDeveloper code editor and add support for new file type. Does anyone have a high level outline on how to do this using the ESDK that is specifically targeted at adding new file type support for a text based code editor?
I have looked at the Samples and keep going in multipe directions. It would be cool if there was an example that was how add syntax higlighting for new file type.
Thank you

Brian, thank you. I looked at this extension and it answered a lot of questions for me. I was going in the right direction but needed a little help and bost of confidence, this is just what I needed. I created the LanguageSupport, LanguageModel, Addin, Node and TextDocument that are specific to the new file type. I was getting hung up on how to hook this into the JDevelpoer editor. I keep thinking I have to create a custom editor but it looks like I don't have to and it looks like I can associate this file support with the editor framwork, for version 10.1.3.2, with the following in the Addin Initilize() method.
Recognizer.mapExtensionToClass(MY_EXTENSION, MyNode.class);
CodeEditor.registerNodeType(MyNode.class, MY_EXTENSION);
LanguageModule.registerModuleForFileType(new MyLanguageModule(), MY_EXTENSION);
I have done this but still not able to recognize the new file type.
At this point, I just want to be able to recognize the new file and display it's associated icon or display a messare to the message log. I put a System.out.println("test") in the Initilize() method of my addin. then I registered MyAddin in the extension.xml. JDeveloper sees this new extension and it is loaded but I have not been able to show the test message or display the new icon when I open the new file type.

Muse crashing when adding a new Twitter widget!

Whenever i try to drap in one of the new Twitter widgets, Muse crashes. Every time!

Hi Zak,
No error just crashes completely as soon as I drag the wiget from the panel. Seems to be just the Twitter ones, although I haven't tried all of them.
I'm on a Mac. Using the latest version of AIR, 3.9.0.1210 and the Muse 7.1.

Suppression of nav bars (chrome) in web-content overlays

We've started to experiment with creating interactive content within folios, using web content overlays and HTML5/AJAX.
Problem is the nav bars/chrome (whatever you want to call them) in Adobe Viewer pop up constantly, and unpredictably - for instance, the chrome will appear the *first* time an HTML button is clicked, but not on subsequent occasions. For other <div> elements that have onclick handlers attached, the nav always seems to appear.
Does anyone have any insight into possible ways of suppressing the nav bars completely for web-content user interaction? Judging by the behaviour of HTML buttons, it seems there has been some effort put into this on Adobe's part, but some concrete insight would be brilliant.
Cheers,
David (Boto Media).

Web content overlay doesn't always open in the in-app browser

We are using a web content overlay in a small frame to show a series of social media share buttons. It works beautifully most of the time - when the user taps the img, the in-app browser slides up from the bottom and the share page is ready to go. Sometimes though, for no apparent reason, the share page loads inside our tiny 200x50px frame. Here's a simplified sample of the code from our index.html file that we link to:
<div> <a href="http://www.sharesitegoeshere.com/facebook" target="_blank"><img src="facebook.png" alt="Facebook" width="40" height="40" border="0" /></a></div>
<div> <a href="http://www.sharesitegoeshere.com/twitter" target="_blank"><img src="facebook.png" alt="Facebook" width="40" height="40" border="0" /></a></div>
<div> <a href="http://www.sharesitegoeshere.com/pinterest" target="_blank"><img src="facebook.png" alt="Facebook" width="40" height="40" border="0" /></a></div>
<div> <a href="mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20this%20story%20&body=%0A%0Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fsharesitegoes here.com" target="_blank"><img src="email.png" alt="Email" /></a></div>
Here's some examples of the web overlay opening inside the small frame instead of the browser:
It seems like the first time we try the share button from a new article, it loads in the frame instead of the in-app browser, but every time after it behaves correctly. Is there any way to prevent this?

I've had this problem too. Here's a solution from my notes:
<UL><LI>Note on moving items
<P>Sometimes the blue "move up" arrow
disappears or stops working (as
expected). The reason is usually that
the regions "Group By" and "Sort By"
to properties have been set so that the order of items
is either completely determined or the
items you wish to rearrange belong in
different groups (or so as expose a bug
in Portal -- I still think this might be
a possibility).</P>
This sorting is set under the specific
Folder Style. Check
<DL><DD><pre>
Folder Properties
-> Folder Style tab
-> Layout tab
-> Edit region icon.
</pre></DD></DL>
Try setting "Group By" to "Category" or
"Author", and "Sort By" to
"Default".</P>

Link from Web Content overlay to another article

Thinking caps on, guys. I am trying to reduce the overall size of a folio that contains a pop-out panel (a two-state MSO) that reveals image thumbnails in a vertical scrolling content frame. Each thumbnail is a button that takes the user to another article in the folio. The panel is repeated across all articles, which is handy for the user but wasteful in file size.
In theory, I ought to be able to reduce the file size of the pages containing these panels if I was to replace the vertical scrolling content frame with a tall Web Content frame that would point to an appropriately designed HTML doc in HTMLResources.zip. This would minimise repetition of all those thumbnails.
The problem, if you haven't already guessed it, is that DPS does not allow you to link from a Web Content overlay to folio articles. The 'navto://' convention simply won't work in this scenario.
Is there ANY way to jump a Web Content frame to other locations in the folio? A non-standard, non-supported workaround would do me just fine.
Thanks for reading this far.
Ali

Ali - Check out the new "Linking" article in the Advanced Overlays issue of DPS Tips. It explains how to use an unsupported method for cross-folio linking. I explained how to create buttons with this format, but the same format would work using <a href="URL"> in HTML.
Johannes also breaks down this method here:
