Web links - via buttons?

Hello. I'm a DVD studio pro newbie and I have a bizzare quesiton. I'm trying to make a menu that has web links that the viewer can click on and then be directed to a website. How can I do this? So far, I can only figure out how to have a slideshow picture with a web link open or a new menu with a web link. But the boss doesn't want to go forward, he wants the link to open from pushing the button on the menu. Can anyone help me? I'm happy to trade any knowledge on FCP, After Effects, Photoshop, and others. Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forum,
If you are on DVDSP 4 it's laid out fairly concisely on page 594.

Incorrect URLs in Breadcrumb and Web Links

Hi BSP Experts,
I have an issue which I cannot resolve and hope you can help.
I have copied three pages: prebook.htm, training.htm, trainingtype.htm from the standard LSO application HCM_LEARNING to ZHCM_LEARNING. Table LSPAGE_ALIAS_C has been updated accordingly.
However, when I try to navigate back to the catalog. using the breadcrumbs at the top of the page I receive the following error:
u201CBusiness Server Page (BSP) error
Calling the BSP page was terminated due to an error.
The following error text was processed in the system:
BSP Exception: Das Objekt catalog.htm in der URL /sap(bD1lbiZjPTYwMCZkPW1pbiZwPTMwMTUyJnY9NyUyZTAxMDcmaT0x)/bc/bsp/sap/zhcm_learning/catalog.htm ist nicht gültig.u201D
I also get a similar error when I try to navigate to a web page (I0061 Web Link) via the u2018links to more informationu2019 section.
I can see that the system is trying to incorrectly call my bespoke application ZHCM_LEARNING and not the original or parent application HCM_LEARNING. I did consider copying the whole of the application HCM_LEARNING to ZHCM_LEARNING but this seems to be over kill and probably will not solve the web link issue. Seem a pretty simply issue but I cannot find the solution u2013 Is there a piece of config. I have missed or incorrectly set?
I have identified SAP note 0001156488 but the update has already been applied as the sytsem is on release 604.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Kind Regards,
Darren

Hey Ravi,
Thanks for the prompt reply - you have half solved my problem! I copied the whole application and the breadcrumbs navigation now works but unfortuately I am still getting a similar error with the 'web link'/ 'Links to More Information'.
Business Server Page (BSP) error

WDURLGenerator + link to URL via Button

hi,
i was searching this forum about the possibilities of the WDURLGenerator.
I need to link to a webpage via Button-Click.
I set up an Button and corresponding action. In this action I simply want to call an URL (nice would also be a new window.
Now I set up:
WDURLGenerator.getWebResourceURL("http://www.<url>.de")
do i have to also set up something like: wdThis.wdFirePlugUrl(url) ???
thanx for help,
matthias

Matthias,
No offence, here but:
On the main WD forum screen just type your question in search box:
open AND window AND url
All the rest left as default.
The very first hit!

Create a Button that Opens a Specific Web Link from a Dropdown Box

Hi guys. My main question is, how do I make a Button that opens a specific Web Link, depending on the URL selected in a Dropdown box?
Example:
I'm a comlpete newbie and need a code sample of how this would work! Thanks!
I have a couple other questions which are related to this.
1) Is it possible to hide the URL in the Dropdown list, and only show the Name, so for examlpe, it would only list Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, and not the www....com?
2) Another more advanced question is, once the web link is opened, is it possible to have adobe input or fill-in the Login and Password fields into the website and then hit "Enter" for you. The Username and Password would be stored somewhere in adobe and would depend on the weblink opened. So for example: When you open Hotmail, it would use the following; Username:[email protected] and Password:password1, but if you opened Gmail, it would use a different Username and Password stored for Gmail.
3) Finally, out of curiousity, is it possible to have adobe extract data from a website, and fill them into an adobe form? This maybe over my head, but any starting point or examples would be of great help!

Use something like this as the button's MouseUp action:
app.launchURL(this.getField("URL Dropdown").value));
To answer your other questions:
1) Yes. Place the URL as the export value of each option, and the name of the site as the display value. The code I provided can remain the same.
2) No.
3) Might be possible, but it's very tricky. The way to do it would be to convert the website to a PDF, process that PDF to extract the data from it, and then use that to populate the form fields. That would require quite advanced scripting knowledge, but it could be possible.

Can Not Share via private web link

I upgraded to the premium package yesterday and now I can't get my photos to share via private web link. I get as far as "email link" and when I click on it nothing happens. Prior to the upgrade, it would automatically pop up my email page and I would just send to the contact person. It worked perfectly fine until I did the upgrade to premium package. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Claudette

Hi Claudette,
You make perfect sense but the behaviour does not
I must ask this: Did you change your email set-up at all as this might affect your adoberevel email? Otherwise, changing to premium should not change how your email share behaves.
I will have someone do a quick check on your account to see if perchance there is some strange anomaly occurring.

While viewing web sites the screen suddenly jumps like it is resizing itself. Doesn't matter what site I'm on. Also I have to click links/back button at least 2 times to get it to respond.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Web Link Buttons with Variable URLs

Hey all:
I asked my question earlier in the general InDesign section of the forum, but a helpful user suggested I repost it here as it will take some scripting magic to accomplish:
My work assignment of late has been developing an interactive PDF catalog of our products that my superior can distribute digitally and let potential customers browse without accessing the website.
We have an Excel file that lists all the details of our products - name, description, title, image, category, etc. I have used Data Merge to create this 300 page document rather than hand-copy each product's information to a single page.
Unfortunately I am now stuck - I have designed the catalog in such a way that I have an image that I want to make a button which, if the person wishes to purchase a product, will take them directly the the product page online where he or she can add it to the shopping cart. This is great, but I cannot seem to find a way to make the image button's link a variable as the rest of the page content. Links to each product page are included in the CSV file, but without a variable web link method, I would have to create the unique links individually, which kinda defeats the purpose of using Data Merge anyway.
So my question is this - is there any way to make a URL button (an image) have a web link function that can read from a CSV file and change each page like other imported content? If not, is there another way to automate the individual link process without setting it up on each generated page?
Thanks in advance,
Asher

Huh, that error seems really mysterious. (I had assumed your initial problem was from targetting the ESTK instead of targetting ID, and when you said "hangs at the for loop" you meant the actual "for(..." line.) I'd be curious...if you run the broken version and after it hangs, try typing in the JavaScript console:
   p
   p.buttons
   p.buttons[0]
   p.item(0)
   p.buttons[0].id
   p.item(0).id
which ones work and which fail?
In CS5, script labels got a bit more annoying to use. I think you might be better off using text box names instead.
Name the text box in the Layers panel by click-pause-click-ing it (wow, what an unfamiliar UI!) and assigning a name to it.
Suppose you name it "url".
Then instead of "p.textFrames[0]" (or p.textFrames.item(0)), you can use "p.textFrames.itemByName('url')".
Hopefully this doesn't get messed up across the data merge.
To use the script label, you need this horrid construction:
var j;
for (j=0; j<p.textFrames.length; j++) {
    if (p.textFrames[j].label === 'url') {
        t = p.textFrames[j];
        break;
though if your InDesign is screwed up, you might need to change [j] -> item(j) again. Maybe you should Replace Your Preferences (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990).

Mac won't open pdfs from web links.

I am running Mac OS v 10.5.8 and it suddenly stopped displaying PDFs that are opened via web links. All I see is a grey screen with the file title.pdf at the top, no error message. Has anyone experienced this or aware of a fix? Soooooo frustrating.
Thanks!

Alternatively, you can select any PDF file from Finder, hit Command-i, or right click on the file and select Get Info.
From there, change Open With to Safari.
Then hit the button Change All.
And done.

Pdf error in printing in WEB UI via transaction launcher

Hi Experts,
We have created a custom report program in CRM 2007. We are launching it from WEB UI via transaction launcher. When we try to print the report output, it displays the standard print dialog box. The moment we select output device = LOCL for local printer and click on Continue button,it launches two new windows:-
a) One window is for WEB UI with message-The formatted data will be displayed in this window; wait and do not close the window
b) Second window is ADOBE PDF window with information message-Adobe Reader could not open 'frontend_print[1].pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
In the end, user is not able to print the report. Now my doubts are:-
What is the link between print button and pdf? Why is it going to ADOBE? Something to do with WEB UI? If we launch SAP GUI, go to SE38 and execute the report program, we are able to print the output successfully.
Please give me some pointers to proceed forward.
Thanks

Help! How to e-mail a PDF (from Pages) with active web links!

I have been working on this for hours without any success! I would be so grateful for a brainy Apple wiz to help me out. I am creating a Pages document that has active web links in it. My goal is to e-mail my document with the active web links in it.
So - If I export my Pages doc as a PDF to my desktop, the links work great! However - the moment I put that PDF into an email and send it the links become inactive. Is there any way to create a Pages document with web links > Export it as a PDF > Then mail with active (clickable) links? I have tried many times without success.
If the answer to my question is no, does anyone have a tip for where I can create a PDF and mail it with active links? Will any of the Adobe programs work for this type of thing?
Thanks so much!!
Kristen

Using Pages '09 v4.2.
I just tested this. Assumption: You have the “Windows friendly attachments” checked in the attachments panel.
Your Pages document is open. The web links are active. You want to get it into Mail.
From the Pages menu bar, choose Share > Send Via Mail > PDF.
Mail will open with a compose window. Your PDF will be attached as a full view document. You see the links present in the PDF.
Now, click near the web links. This shows your PDF in blue. Now right-button click, and choose View as Icon from the pop-up panel.
Now mail it to yourself on another account that Mail can open.
You will see the web links in the PDF.
Right-button click on a link and from the pop-up menu, choose Open with Safari.
If you chose Quick Look, it would pop open the PDF and offer to open it further in your default PDF viewer. In my case, it is Adobe Reader.
If Reader opens this PDF from the Mail attachment, the web links remain active.
Does this solve your issue?

Add Non-Standard Web Link in Mac Mail

Does anyone know how to add a non-standard web link? The add link dialog box does not like my url.
I need to add a link like this: http://someserver100/index.html.
It disables the "OK" button as soon as I add the "100" after "someserver".
Prior to the Leopard upgrade I never had a problem doing this. Now it seems that Mail is trying to be too clever. Please help, this is an important business need for me to be able to send links like this.

I didn't originally go deep into detail as not to bore, but maybe the details will make the difference.
I am a web developer. I have a client that I vpn into to make web updates. The server that I work on is a testing / development server, not the outside world facing production server. The server is not viewable via a domain name. So I can not get to it by typing www.domainname.com. Instead, the client's IT guys have a host name set up for the server that I need to use due to some of the back end technology that serves the pages.
The server name is "development100".
In order for me to view pages on this server, I had to make an entry in my host file so my browser would know what ip address "development100" is associated with. That way whenever I type "http://develoment100" into my browser's url bar to proof my web work it would resolve me to the testing / development server.
Now, once my changes are done and posted, I need to send a notification email to the IT staff that servers two purposes. First, it gives them an exact url laundry list of what files have have updated. Second, it gives them a link to click for each item that will allow them to proof that html, jpeg, etc.
A typical item in this list would like like this: http://development100/index.html
That link should send them directly to the index page on the server for example. I have be using this system of building the notification emails with these links for over five years and prior to upgrading to Leopard, it always worked.
Now, if I try to "Add Link" and type "http://development100/index.html" in the dialog box. The "OK" button will become disabled as soon as I key in the first number in that link.
If I don't "Add Link" and just key "http://development100/index.html" into the body of the email the link will cut off at the first number as well. So the link will look like this: "http://development"
Sorry for the long explanation, but I think that it is necessary. The answer may just be that Apple is trying to verify / qualify links automatically and wont let numbers go in the link name without a .com / suffix. Thanks for the help.

How do I add URI web link with custom tooltip like "CLICK HERE TO UPDATE" instead of URI web link in tooltip.

How do I add URI web link with custom tooltip like "CLICK HERE TO UPDATE" instead of URI web link in tooltip.

You've probably found an answer to this by now, but I think this has been addressed in another forum -- The link below suggested using a button and adding the tooltip to the button.

PDF export with link to document defaulting to "Open a web link" instead of "Open a file"

I have a MS Access database and I'm trying to export reports to PDF (I have Acrobat XI Pro) that include a hyperlink to another document on the same drive on my computer. I have tested this with hyperlinked email addresses, and emails export fine to PDF and are still functional, opening a new email in Outlook. The hyperlinks to documents work fine in MS Access, opening a Word, PDF, or other document when clicked.
When I export to PDF, the links to documents say, "This document is trying to connect to: file:" and my filepath. If I say "Allow," the link tries to open in my default web browser, which comes up blank. I've tested this on other computers in our office too. When I right-click the link, I have the option to "Open weblink as a new document" -- this opens the document successfully, but won't be very helpful or fast for our staff. When I examine the link with Tools - Add or Edit Link, I see that the link's action defaulted to "Open a web link" when the PDF was created. This seems like it should be "Open a file." To see if "Open a file" would work in theory, I tried creating a test button in a blank PDF and made the "mouse up" action "Open a file" and linked to various documents on my computer. Each time, the button does not react to being clicked at all, like nothing happened.
I also tried making a basic Word doc with just the hyperlink to another document. It works fine in Word, but, when saved as a PDF, the hyperlink does the same behavior-- tries to connect to the web instead of opening the file on the computer.
I have a lot of experience building Acrobat PDF forms and working in Acrobat, and I'm almost certain I've created links that open another file on the computer in Acrobat before, but I'm out of ideas and an internet search isn't turning up much. I welcome any suggestions for things to try. Thank you!

This is what I currently have, and it attempts to open in a web browser. Do you know of a setting in Acrobat I might need to change, or any other solution to tell Acrobat to open the "file:" URL as a document, not try to start the web browser?

Add web link to a PDF in preview

Hello Mac World,
I have a MacBook Air OSX 10.9.2
I cannot seem to find how to add a working web-link to my PDF in preview. I have looked in Preview <tools>,<annotate> and there is no LINK button
Please help me to know if I need to buy a new program or if I'm just missing something here... Ps.. it's not in View either.
Thank you for your help,
sunshine_415

Open Preview, and check Help > Annotate a PDF. It describes such things as adding a text bubble, etc.
There is no explicit way to add a link in Preview. Preview is, after all, primarily a viewer with a few markup tools.
I happen to use a product called PDFPen which is available in the App Store to mark up PDFs.
I have no financial interest in PDFPen. I am a reasonably satisifed customer.
