View Navigation (Back and Next)

Hi Experts,
Are there any alternatives to using plugs for view navigation in Web Dynpro?
We have an application which consist of a number of views, each with a 'back' and 'next' button that loads another view. Problem is - depending on choices made on the views, the next and back buttons need to navigate to different views. This means that we have to create separate plugs and links for each possible destination. Even worse, we have to keep track of which view was loaded before the current view, as the back navigation differs.
If I can maybe illustrate our problem with this example:
View1:
InPlug1(Back from View3 after navigating to it from here)
OutPlug1 (Next button with option A)
OutPlug2 (Next button with option B)
View2:
InPlug1 (Next from View1 with option A)
InPlug2 (Back from View3 after navigating to it from here)
Outplug1 (Next button)
View3:
InPlug1 (Next from View1 with option B)
InPlug2 (Next from View2)
Outplug1 (Back after navigating from View1)
Outplug2 (Back after navigating from View2)
For this simple setup we need 10 plugs and we need to keep track of which View navigated to View3. Is there a simpler way or maybe something we could do different somehow?

Hi,
Please go through this tutorial.
It explains how you can pass parameter inside the fire plug and how you can navigate to a view of your choice from a list of views.
It does not directly address your problem.But then this is possible solution with some intelligent coding.

How do I position the back and next buttons in a full screen lightbox

I'm working on a portfolio website, and it has five sections (each section is 1440px wide). I am trying to put in a full screen lightbox for some images. When I adjust the settings for the lightbox, I am just keeping the Back and Next buttons. However, when I put the buttons in one place, they either appear in a different position in the browser, or just don't appear at all. Maybe there's a technique I am missing with regards to putting the buttons in a place most computer browsers will be able to find it. (Pictures of the problem are below, and they use the sample pictures for the slideshow, but it doesn't make a difference what pictures are in there.
Muse document. The arrows are pink and can be seen on the left and right sides.
Web Browser Preview. No arrows, even though they're in the Muse document.

I see that you are using a long page with slideshow in lower section of the page. Navigation arrows are placed around 3200 , so when you will scroll the page down you can view the next and previous buttons.
Try to change navigation arrows and then check.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Problem with Back and Next Buttons: a solution?

Hello,
It is well known that including the Back and/or Next buttons in Captivate quiz questions presents real problems. I have come up with what I think to be a solution. It should allow one to include both Back and Next buttons, if one wants to do this. It involves doing the following:
With Question 1, do not include a Back button. (This is so that the quiz-taker cannot get out of the quiz scope in the forward direction.)
Create this advanced action: If cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions = 0, then Go To The Next Slide (i.e. the results slide); Else Continue.
Insert a slide after the final question (and before the results slide). On this slide, include the following:
A message to this effect: ‘You have not answered all of the questions. Please go back and complete all of them.’
A button labeled ‘Return to Questions’ (on success: Jump to slide with Question 1). But include no other buttons. That is, if the quiz-takers lands up on this slide, he or she has only this option.
On Enter (i.e. on entering the slide being described here), Execute Advanced Action = the advanced action described in Item 2 above.
Now for something odd. Before the slide described in Item 3, insert a slide with a Text Caption with variable $$cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions$$. Keep the slide as brief as possible (something like 0.5 sec.) and make the text of the Text Caption invisible. And why all this? Because I found that, without it, problems arose quite regularly. If one or more questions were not answered, the quiz-taker would come, as expected, to the slide described in Item 3 above. The quiz-taker would then go back to complete the unanswered questions. But then—sometimes—the Item 3 slide would still appear, even though all the questions were answered! The quiz-taker would return once again to the questions (since this is the only option available), only to find that now none of the questions were answered! And at this point, there was no escape: the Item 3 slide would always appear no matter what one did. Why should inserting the additional slide described in the present item solve the problem? I don’t know. All I can say is that (1) without it, the problem arises often (though not always), and (2) with it, the problem hasn’t occurred yet, even though I’ve done lots of testing.
Final note. It will be clear that this solution is meant to be used together with the option Allow Backward Movement. Will the solution work with Branch Aware? I don’t know yet. Will it work with Question Pools? Again, I don’t know yet. I’ve only done a bit of testing in both cases. The results thus far indicate that at least one of these options presents real problems. Both might.
I’m still testing this solution (or what I hope is a solution). If anyone else wants to try it, I’d be interested in hearing how it goes.
Best regards,
Marvin DuBois

Dear Lilybiri,
Thank you for your response.
1. 'I don't get it why you don't use the Submit All option?'
Submit All is fine in some cases. But it limits the options: the quiz-taker does not get immediate (question-by-question) feedback. So where immediate feedback is wanted, the Submit All option presents problems.
2. "Why do you need a Back button . . . ?'
a. The Back button is needed during Review. Otherwise, the quiz-taker can only review in one direction.
b. In some quizzes, the quiz-taker should be free to go back, whether to check earlier question slides (since the questions and/or responses can be relevant for the current question) or to re-read/re-hear information slides inserted between question slides.
But the more general issue is this. The Cp Back and Next buttons provide us with possibilities, with further options. Workarounds are available, such as not allowing backward movement and placing a Clear button over Next. But these workarounds limit the possiblities, i.e. the possibilities that are there—i.e. that Adobe puts there. It's not that we always need these possibliities. But neither should we be hindered from using them if we so choose—and especially when we would be hindered simply because Cp doesn't work as well as it should.
Kind regards,
Marvin

Single Frame with Back and Next Jbutton support for Swing

Hi All,
I need a help regarding to th JFrame.
I have to design a tool with Back and next button with a single frame. With Next button action i should move to a new Frame content and with Back button i should back to the previous one.
How should i proceed?
Thanks a lot in advance.

1) That's a Swing question. There a {forum:id=950} forum.
2) This is a very common need. There is no built-in widget in the JDK, and a lot of custom approaches, including in libraries. Google for "Java Swing wizard"
3) If you roll your own, the simplest way, as far as the GUI layer goes, is to stuff your panels in a CardLayout, and have your buttons switch the current "card". Very simple: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/card.html
4) The trick may be in keeping the "business logic" in sync (if for example panel 2 depends on processing info from panel 1). If you're new to java and Swing, make sure you understand objects and references

Navigation back and forth between anchor points with "prev" and "next" buttons?

Hi all,
I am working on a horizontal layout site that has anchor points on each part. As the user scrolls, it snaps to each anchor point. It works fine with just the mouse wheel, but I'd like to have previous and next buttons that allow for easy navigation between the points. I know on each section I can have the buttons to jump from say A>B>C and then C>B>A, but this is a single "prev" and "next" set of buttons that are pinned to the page. So, as the page scrolls left to right, the buttons stay put. Is there a way to just have them go to the previous and next point in the line, rather than linking a button to anchor point A/B/C, etc?

I'm not sure I'm making my question very clear. Your response doesn't address what I'm asking, unfortunately. I know how to make buttons that are linked to individual anchor points. But I'm trying to make buttons to link to the next anchor point, or a specific spot on the page. Think of how you would navigate on a horizontal page, that's what I'm looking to duplicate.

Navigation "Back" and "Forward" buttons are inactive, they do not work at all. How do I fix this?

I have downloaded the latest version of firefox and the navigation buttons in the browser will not work in any way. The "Back" and "Forward" buttons are completely un-usable.

Toolbar misbehavior could be due to a problematic add-on (e.g., theme or extension), or a corrupted settings file. Next time you upgrade -- and for security reasons, it is highly recommended -- try Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether you can pin it on an add-on or custom setting. You also could clear your toolbar settings.
More info on Safe Mode:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
Does the toolbar work correctly?

How to set page margin for any site being viewed without back and forth scrolling?

Some sites and most forums, the threads cannot be read without scrolling the screen back and forth. How can these be set where all information is read without moving screen short of up or down and not side ways back and forth.

Thank you all for attempts to satisfy my needs. The last concerning my screen is 19 inches and 800 resolution. I'm very long in the tooth and if I go higher in
resolution I have to play squint the fonts are so small. Crank them up and I'm back to scrolling back and forth on the screen.
Again thanks for help but I' m not interested in spending money on newer
haha state of the art equipment just to satisfy the need of cyber space Ad
purveyors to post their wares. Graphics I can do without as well. If they want
me to see what they have to offer, then stop messing with what once worked just fine.
I still have Word where I can do with whatever I copy n paste to get done what I need. The convenience of doing so right at the site isn't a requirement as such. Being a retired Master Electronics Technician, I'm short on computer orientations but long on other kinds of smarts.
Again, Thank you all for the help.

How to use the Back and Next navigation buttons on the Skin

Hi,
I am a Tech Writer using RH7 for my current project. We are using a skin created by our company. I am not able to include the navigation buttons "Next" and "Previous" in my Webhelp output. They are shown in the skin editor (Picture attached), but not reflecting int he output. Can anyone help me with this. You can also suggest any alternative ways of navigation. "Next" option is mandatory for me.

Ios 6 calendar list view skipping back and forth

Weird behavior from my iPhone calendar since upgrading to ios 6. In List View, it sometimes skips ahead a couple of months and then steps its way back about a week at a time. Other times when I'm flicking ahead a few days, it instead jumps three months ahead. Then it steps back again.
I have four calendars synchronized across iCloud and multiple devices. They worked perfectly before the ios upgrade.
And then there's the maps... :-)

I'm facing the same problem, and it was causing a huge battery drain/overheating problems on my 4S after the upgrade to iOS6. (I also got a data overage message from AT&T.) Additionally, I noticed some calendar entries on my phone were disappearing.
My phone and desktop (Mac Mini) are my primary calendars, synced through iCloud. I also have my Outlook calendar synced in iCloud via Google Calendar.
After reading multiple posts here and elsewhere, I tried the following:
hard resets
deleting and restoring my iCloud account on my phone
restoring factory settings
restoring from a backup
Although the battery drain problem did improve slightly, none of these resolved the problem entirely. Ultimately, I turned off the iCloud calendar sync, and replaced the calendar on my phone with that on my computer via a sync on iTunes. (My iCal calendar is correct.) This has resolved the battery drain situation, and the overheating.
From reading other posts on related issues, my educated guess is that somehow the calendar file on my phone became corrupted during the upgrade. Unfortunately, I don't think I thave access to a backup prior to the iOS 6 upgrade, so a restore from backup won't resolve the problem. (I'll have to do some detective work this weekend.)
If my guess is corrected, the only resolution is to do a restore as a new iPhone. Either that, or hope and wait for a software fix from Apple.

Back and Next issue

Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a solution that looks unreachable at least at my side.
I have a presentation with narration on every slide. To ensure that users have to listen the entire narration I'm delaying the "appear after" option, which display the navigation controls only when the narration is concluded.
The problem is...supposing that the user wants to navigate back in the presentation, he/she has to wait again for the narration in order to move to anywhere.
Is there any possibility to return for already visited slides without having this kind of block?
I hope I made myself clear with this question.
Thanks a lot.

Hello and welcome to the Captivate forum,
To be able to give you an answer, could you please provide some information: did you create the navigation buttons yourself? How do you delay their appearance: using the timeline or an (advanced) action? Which version of Captivate are you using?

How do you add a "back" and Next" capability to a Disjointed Rollover?

I am having trouble linking two behaviors because I don't understand the code very well. I've seen what I am trying to do at other artists' websites like this one: http://www.emilyberger.net/paintings.html#
I have a nice Disjointed Rollover to show art images. I also have made Mara Ribbers' Linked Slide.
But what I want is to have the two things work together. Done successfully, one would see the detail images off to the left, with the larger picture showing when the details are rolled over. Then one would also have the option of clicking the "Next" & "Back" link/button to advance these same larger images.
It is probably all done very elegantly with CSS, but I can't figure it out.
Can this be done in CS3?
Thanks much

You should look into using a Spry Data widget. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSA671B0BD-047C-4752-BFAC-B6C0601F9791. html#WS7F0B5D16-1F52-455a-A82B-60B61CE58E15
I used a simple HTML page with a table to hold my dataset.
I'm not certain of how to implement the previous/next, but I think it can be done...
Here's a data widget I used on a site I put together for a friend: http://www.gravenimagedesign.net/nickerson/NickersonWork.html
Although I have put the thumbnails in scrolling div, you could just place them in a wider div.

Quiz Review--how can I change/customize the buttons in CP7--now showing "back" and "skip"

Hi,
I am using CP 7 and giving learners the opportunity to review their quiz questions. The review works fairly well, but the buttons at the bottom are not correct. Should say Back and Next or Continue. I don't see a master slide for this, like the Results master slide, where I can edit. Have not found anything useful yet under Object Preferences. Also would be nice to position them. Thanks.

I never show the Next button on a question slide, but drag it under the Clear button, so that it becomes only available during Preview. A skipped question cannot be answered anymore when coming back, it is only confusing. For the same reason I will rarely allow backward movement. Only with the option 'Submit All' it is possible to retake questions within the same Quiz attempt.

UILoader and next-button

Hi!
I use UILoader to load pictures from folder. Example 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc. I have just buttons to browse pictures. Button 1 loads picture 1 etc.
Now I need next and back buttons to browse pictures. Is it possible to do? How?
Here is code I use:
var photo:UILoader = new UILoader();
var defaultPIC:URLRequest = new URLRequest("1.jpg");
photo.load(defaultPIC);
picbox.addChild(photo);
photo.scaleContent = false;
photo.maintainAspectRatio = true;
panel_mc.panelInner_mc.btn_01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, pic1);
function pic1(event:MouseEvent):void{
    picbox.removeChild(photo);
    photo.load(new URLRequest("1.jpg"));
    picbox.addChild(photo);
panel_mc.panelInner_mc.btn_02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, pic2);
function pic2(event:MouseEvent):void{
    picbox.removeChild(photo);
    photo.load(new URLRequest("2.jpg"));
    picbox.addChild(photo);

I have my Quiz Manager setup to Allow backward movement and
to Show progress. I have not enabled any other settings on the Quiz
tab. On the Options Tab, I have under the If passing grade, jump to
"go to next slide" and under If failing, I have Allow user 2
attempts and Jump to "go to next slide".
For each slide I have the same setup under the Options tab as
what I have noted on the Quiz Manager.
I have published and tested the movie. I'm still unable to
use the Back and Next buttons.
Any other suggestions?
Thank you,
Joan

I want the reload button to appear outside the address bar (on the left, next to the back and forward buttons), not at the extreme end of the address bar. How can I do this?

I want to re-position the reload button to appear outside the address bar (on the left, next to the back and forward buttons), not where it is at the moment, which is at the extreme end of the address bar and is a real hassle to use. How can I do this?

To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
* Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
* Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
* Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise (Space or Separator) to get two distinct buttons.
