Widget 2 questions....

I erased the widget icon from the bottom of the computer. How do I get that back?
How do I erase a widget that I don't want anymore?
Thanks

The default key for starting widgets on your computer should be F12. If I understand your question you've simply removed the widget icon from the dock, and not actually thrown anything out.
Once widgets are running, hit F12 to return to the finder. Now, right-click or control-click on the newly-appeared widget icon in the dock and choose "keep in dock." that should solve your first problem.
Now, hit F12 again to get your widgets back. You'll see a cross inside a circle on the bottom left. Click it. Now you'll see a group of widgets along the bottom, plus all the original widgets that were on your screen will have their own little crosses in circles.
You can remove a widget from display by clicking that symbol. It will be sent down to the bottom row. If you further click on the "Manage Widgets" button, you can permanently remove a widget from loading.

Spry Accordion widget Question

Have a Dreamweaver question about the Spry Accordion widget.
I am designing a website for a real estate company. I will have different pages set up as a state page with a sub-level of cities within the page. I am using the accordion widget for the cities. As you know, you click on the panel tab and the next panel drops up or down closing/opening the previous panel.
What I would like to do is add an action anchor (view all properties) outside the spry widget to open all the panels at once if a client wanted to see the entire list. However, I would still want the functionality of the panels to be collapsible. Is this possible? Is there a bit of code I would have to add to the JavaScript?
Is there a genius out there that can hook me up with some knowledge?

I actually did away with the accordian widget and went a different route. It was too glitchy. Thanks for your input though. I will take note of the suggestions you provided and maybe try it out one day.

StatCounter with html widget questions

Hi - I have statcounter on my home page. I used the html widget to paste the code i got from Statcounter. I just placed the widget randomly on the page -- it's invisible. works great for that page.
Can someone help me with how to get the stats on where on my sire people are going?
do i have to create a different project for each page in statcounter and paste that on each page of my site??
also am i going to have to paste up new html widgets each time i publish/.
thanks for help with these "newbie" questions
: )

Hi Atomic,
Having the Statcounter code on one page only is quite useless...
You could place a snippet with Statcounter on each page but personally I don't like html snippets that much (in general)... I prefer to have the page coming up in Statcounter instead of the snippet and I also don't like to add a snippet to each page (I have something like 260 pages or more)
Basically there are two applications which will add the code to your page automatically (you would have to run them each time you (re)publish).
iComment (not freeware)
iWebExpander (guimkie.com, freeware)
iWebExpander works... It does it's job...
The only problem, at least for the moment is that iWebExpander is “Crashing” my Finder... But that’s a minor problem...
About the crashing:
You maybe will get a popup "AppleScript Error" bla bla bla. It's only a popup doesn't mean anything. When the popup appears the process of adding the Favicon is finished.
You maybe will have the spinning circle when in Finder. When the popup appears go to your dock select the finder icon click(and hold click) it and do "Relaunch finder".
You don't have to restart or something. You don't have loss of data. It will not shut down unexpectedly. And so on...
Nevertheless the job gets done...
*I was told by Max that there will be an update soon*
You don't have to make a new project for each page... => you use the same project through your whole website
And if you want to track a page in particular then you could add an html snippet to the page with a new project code for that particular page

Cédric

PowershellGrid Widget questions in Dashboards

Question about SelectedRows / $globalselecteditems for Powershellgridwidget
I have a dashboard which has 4 grids.
1. The top grid shows the health of our servers
This grid is based on a Visualization!Microsoft.SystemCenter.Visualization.StateWidget
2. The second grid displays the relevant databases for the server/s chosen in the top grid - note more than 1 row can be chosen
This grid is a powershellgrid widget
3. The third grid shows custom alarms for the database/s chosen in the second grid
This grid is also a powershellgrid widget
4. At the bottom, we have a generic details pane which at the moment only displays the details for the top grid which is Server Health.
This grid is a Microsoft.SystemCenter.Visualization.GenericDetailsWidget
My questions are:
1. Given that the powershellgrid widgets use $globalSelectedItems to pass context between widgets, how do you stop the second grid from deleting all rows if you chose a row in the third grid. It works fine if you have chosen an item from the first grid,
then the second and so on - chosing an item in the third grid will blank out my second grid
This is what I have tried - In my third grid which displays alarms, I have prefixed the "id" of the dataobject to include a nominal identifier so that I know what widget has sent the "id" with something like this.
$dataObject["Id"] = "Alarms" + $($i).ToString("00000")
So in my second grid I thought I'd be able to exit without losing the contents of the grid with something like the following.
========
Param($globalSelectedItems)
#Test what the item is so we don't lose our rows if item not related
# exit if it is not related
$anItem= $globalSelectedItems | Select -First 1
if ($anItem["Id"].Contains("Alarms"))
exit
=====
2. How do you pass a "SelectedRow/s" to a Generic Details widget from a Powershellgrid widget? Has anybody done this yet? I would like to display the selected row from whichever grid has focus. Also, unlike the Datagrid, the Powershellgrid
widget does not have a selectedrow/s properties so can it be done via another mechanism?
Many Thanks,
Paul

Gnome-java Widget question (sorry if this is the wrong section)

I have created three files, yes i know naming conventions and spelling is an issue, but bare with me. I plan to clean all this up as soon as I get this issue figured out. right now I am flinging mud like a howler monkey.
File One is a test file that calls everything together:
package test_window_creation;
import org.gnome.gtk.*;
import window_creation.*;
* @author adam
public class Create_Window_test1
      * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args)
          Gtk.init(args);
          new Create_Window();
          Gtk.main();
}File Two is the Create_Window Class
package window_creation;
import org.gnome.gtk.*;
* Very simple class to create the window construct.
* @author adam
* @since version 1.0.0
public class Create_Window
     public Create_Window()
          final Window window;
          Navagation n = new Navagation();
          window = new Window();
          window.add(n.Navagation_Bar());
          //add window components here
          window.setDefaultSize(800, 600);
          window.showAll();
}and finally File three is the Navagation (menu) class that has a private method that contains all the core componets of a menu bar, while the public method Navagation_Bar() is used to tie all those into one.
package window_creation;
import org.gnome.gtk.Gtk;
import org.gnome.gtk.Label;
import org.gnome.gtk.Menu;
import org.gnome.gtk.MenuBar;
import org.gnome.gtk.MenuItem;
import org.gnome.gtk.SeparatorMenuItem;
import org.gnome.gtk.Widget;
* This Class is used with {@link Create_Window} to add a menu to the window.
* This Class also hold basic information about each method involved.
* This class contains File, View and Edit menus.
* @author adam
* @since version 1.0.0
public class Navagation
      * Create the navigation (also known as Menu) for the window.
      * This Navigation method can be reused in all sorts of classes
      * that require a navigation method to be used.
      * This method is private to protect the core
      * components of the navigation bar.
     private final static Widget Navagation()
          final Menu fileMenu, editMenu, viewMenu;
          final MenuItem file, edit, view;
          final MenuItem save, copy, paste, close, help;
          final Label label;
          label = new Label ("hello World");
          fileMenu = new Menu();
          editMenu = new Menu();
          viewMenu = new Menu();
          save = new MenuItem("save");
          copy = new MenuItem("copy");
          paste = new MenuItem("paste");
          help = new MenuItem("help");
          close = new MenuItem("close");
          fileMenu.append(save);
          fileMenu.append(new SeparatorMenuItem());
          fileMenu.append(close);
          editMenu.append(copy);
          editMenu.append(paste);
          viewMenu.append(help);
          //close will close the window.
          close.connect(new MenuItem.Activate()
               @Override
               public void onActivate(MenuItem source)
                    Gtk.mainQuit();
          //Help Should display a label right now until I can show a window
          help.connect(new MenuItem.Activate()
               @Override
               public void onActivate(MenuItem arg0)
                    label.setLabel("This is the sample help. replace this with a window.");
          return label;
     public Widget Navagation_Bar()
          final MenuBar bar;
          bar = new MenuBar();
          bar.append(Navagation());
          return bar;
}Now from what I understand everything has to be a widget in order to be used or added or append to other methods, classes and so on. but for those familar with gnome-java for gtk+ could some one help me out? I am getting this error on run:
Exception in thread "main" org.gnome.glib.FatalError: Gtk-CRITICAL
gtk_menu_shell_insert: assertion `GTK_IS_MENU_ITEM (child)' failed
     at org.gnome.gtk.GtkMenuShell.gtk_menu_shell_append(Native Method)
     at org.gnome.gtk.GtkMenuShell.append(GtkMenuShell.java:63)
     at org.gnome.gtk.MenuShell.append(MenuShell.java:79)
     at window_creation.Navagation.Navagation_Bar(Navagation.java:93)
     at window_creation.Create_Window.<init>(Create_Window.java:23)
     at test_window_creation.Create_Window_test1.main(Create_Window_test1.java:24)
Which I know deals with the navigation bar to be precise. but what am I doing wrong to get this error thrown?

Disclaimer: I've done no GTK programming at all.
A naive reading of both the code and the exception stack trace suggests that Navagation.Navagation() is returning the wrong thing.
The exception says that an assertoin that chile is a menu item failed.
Is a Label a MenuItem?
Unless I missed it,you are not doing anything with the menu items you create in Navagation.Navagation().

IBook author review widget questions not displaying correctly.

I have a 5-question review, and after the first question, the following questions are not displayed in their entirety when previewed in iBook. Sometimes there are only 4 characters in the question. Has anyone else have this problem and have a solution?
(I did not have this problem before upgrading to latest iBook author/ibook software.)
Thanks!
RFP

Yes, I'm having problems as well with missing text in the review questions as well as some other formatting issues with floating text boxes and text-wrapping.
My book is in English with Japanese. I'm running on a MacBook Pro (Mid-2010) with OS 10.9.1 and iBooks Author 2.1.1. I have changed the fonts many different times. I've tried adding extra spaces as someone else mentioned elsewhere. I've tried every conceivable mix of layers. I've tried with a fresh new file. All to no avail.
I have put a lot of time and effort into my interactive Textbook and have finally finished. Now these issues are the last remaining before delivery through iTunes Producer.
FYI, I have previewed the book in iBooks (latest version), on an iPad mini retina, on an iPad (4th ten); both as previews and using the exported .ibook format (all on iOS7). The problems persist.

2 (Probably Simple) Accordion Widget Questions

Hello!
I am a video guy who tries to dive into this web design stuff
once in a long while. Usually i can figure most stuff out by
reading forums and stuff but this stuff if probably to obvious for
anyone but myself to post about...
1)When I click on the accordion spry widget on my site it is
surrounded by a selection box (i.e. a dotted line)
how do I get rid of this?
2) I am unclear of how to apply effects to widgets...I have
the SpryEffects.js file and would like to ease the animation of my
accordion but don't know how and where to link my main page's code
to the effect file. Where does the code for this go and in which
file?
Thanks,
Steven

Hi Steven,
That dotted outline is the browser's focus ring that tells
user an element on the page has keyboard focus. You can either use
CSS to change the color so it blends with your background, or if
you don't need keyboard navigation on your accordion, simply remove
the tabindex attribute on the accordion's top-level div.
For transitions, look here for an example:

Re: Droid 4 Contact Widget Question

The contact widget for the Droid 4 holds only 4 contacts to put on your home screen. It shows it is a 4x1, meaning 4 contacts across with 1 row. I would like to have a second row, making it an 4x2. Can this be done?

star_gazer1 Hello, I used to have that phone! If you are referring to the icons that are for your frequently called contacts, then I am not sure if the amount of contact icons (the 4 boxes with people inside) can be altered. You may want to confirm this with Motorola at 800-734-5870.

2 Widget Questions

I downloaded a program called MAMP, and it instructed me to copy a widget to ~Library/Widgets. I assume it's reffering to the folder Macintosh HD > Library > Widgets. But I wasn't able to copy it because that folder can't be modified. So how do I insert a new widget into the Widgets folder?
In the meantime, I couldn't access my Dashboard widget to check the time because it was covered up by my status bar, which was filled with various software program icons. While trying to access Dashboard, I apparently deleted it. I can't even find it in the Applications folder.
However, if I type "Dashboard" into Spotlight, it brings up the Dashboard clock. But when it closes, it vanishes, and I have to type Dashboard into Spotlight every time I want to check the time.
How can I restore the Dashboard widget/icon to my desktop?
Thanks.

Actually, "~" means your home folder, so the instruction was referring to the Library/Widgets folder there, not the main /Library/Widgets folder (which is where built-in Apple widgets get installed). Users have permissions to add files to your home folder, but not the system folders.
I don't quite understand how your Dashboard got deleted, but you can restore it from your installation disk using Pacifist.

Widget questions

Hi
I recently up graded my mbp to Mavs. Now when I bring up my widgets (fn + F12), instead of appearing on desktop as before, the desktop 'slides' right and there they are above an ugly gray background.
Can I change that to appear as before?
Also, my old iStat Pro widget no longer appears, nor is it in the list I get by clicking on '+'.
Is there an alternative to be found? I looked through some of the categories but didn't see one?
best,
elmer

Try going to System Preferences/Mission Control and un-checking 'Show Dashboard as a Space'. Log out/in and then re-check it.
You can also try deleting the the .plists. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by logging out/in and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.
Try downloading iStat Pro again. Unfortunately, I don't have a link directly to it.

Another widget question (Sorry)

Is there a way to re-install the original widgets that came with my mac mini?
Thanks again,

Download the '.zip' file from one of the links I've provided below, unzip it, and drop that folder into the /Library directory on your hard disk. If prompted, replace the folder you have in there already.

Adobe Muse Advanced SEO Widget question

I have added Adobe Muse Advanced SEO for Local Business to a website. When I click on the verify the Twitter preview, it shows up as my Twitter account and info but with an Adobe Muse Widget logo. Is that correct? Also, when I click on the Facebook preview I get a warning "The 'og:url' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags." What does this mean and how can I fix this?

Do you also get the same error while using embed code for Twitter ?

Basic questions about XMP

I am a recent convert to XMP. I guess I have seen the proverbial writing on the Adobe all.
First, I would like to get some questions out of the way. It seems to me that PDF has been moving to full XML file format, beginning with two areas:
- Custom attributes, aka custom attributes, aka metadata (this is the stuff that used to be saved in the "Info" dictionary).
- Fillable fields, aka interactive fields, aka widgets
Question 1: Is there any commonality between the 2 areas above? Can the XMP SDK toolkit be used only for metadata? What about the interactive fields? Will I need another SDK (which one?) to handle those?
TIA,
-RFH

The next question is about XML parsers. Adobe decided to go with "Expat", at least for XMP. I am myself a fan of Xerces. Is there an XML parser attached (i.e., chosen by Adobe) to deal with the above mentioned fillable/interactive fields?
Thanks,
-Ramon

Creating a Math-Quiz

Hi,
i've got some problems creating a math-quiz in Captivate 4. I think that the advanced users can help me.
My project thesis is to create a complex math quiz with captivate (arguments) where I should take some parts out and give the students some possible answers (quiz with automatic rating and scorm results). It should be done with drag & drop if it is possible.
I've tried it with the matching question type but there are some things that annoy: I've cleared the numeration in the xml, that was no problem. How can I clear the matching line between the right answer and the question when playing the preview (example pic)? And how can I clear the old numeration out of the little square in the question and fill in there the choosen possibility? Is there any possibility to change the source code of this question type or do you have any other idea how i can do this better? The next problem is that I have to work with images because of the complex formulas.
I've seen the widget question type JumbledWordQuestion: is there something like this where I can load images in and then choose the right answer in the option frame?
Thanks.
Regards,
Max

Did you try MathMagic? It is included with Captivate, but the resulting formulas will be images.

Interactions not present in Captivate 7

Hello,
I was previously in a discussion with Rajeev (and Lilybiri) about this topic. It is still not resolved. I have renamed the folder in the preferences folder and restarted Captivate which generated a new folder.... and I have enabled myself as "root user" on my Macbook Pro running 10.9. The initial problem was posted as follows:
I have purchased Captivate 7. There are supposed to be "interactions". When I go to ->Insert ->Interactions a blank popup window appears. When I start clicking around in that window a few interactions appear, but not he entire list. I need to access "web interaction" so as to import html into a Captivate project. If I click on any of the interactions and click "insert" I get popup saying "not a valid widget". I was told that these interactions are available "out of the box" for Captivate 7. Any ideas of how I can get this to work?
Help would be greatly appreciated as Captivate 7 is useless to me without being able to access the interactions.
Thanks,
jcfactor

Lilybiri, I f I may be allowed the privledge to rant a little bit... I have been keeping a log of all the communications here in a word document. Here is what you posted for me to do..I am pasting here:
Hello and welcome,
Something must have gone awry. Are you on Windows? In that case, close Captivate and browse to this path:
Users\Public\Public Documents\Adobe\eLearning Assets\
You'll find a folder Interactions there, delete that folder. Then restart Captivate. A fresh folder will be installed.
Lilybiri
In the post that followed I stated that I am on a MAC. So there is no possible way for me to do that......
Rajeev then posted this:
After you launch Captivate and create/open a project, please wait for sometime (maximum a couple of minutes) and then launch Interaction dialog.
If it still doesn't work then You may also try to recreate your preferences.Delete or rename the Captivate 7 folder from the location mentioned below.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7
Mac: /Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Captivate 7
I have done this, TWICE.
I have no idea where you have gotten the idea that I am working off a network drive as I am working off of a Macbook Pro that is not connected to any network (except internet). Might you have me confused with somebody else???
As for the interactions/widgets question....I only mention BOTH because when I go "interactions" and click on one, I get the prompt "not a valid widget"
I also do not like wasting time. I have already spent approximently 15 hours trying to resolve this issue. I spend a LOT of money on this program and do not think it an unreasonable expectation that it should work as advertised. I appreciate that you are spending free time and make the request that you spend NO more time on this personally and would appreciate being directed to the appropriate Adobe representitive.
I only posted a second time because I posted back yesterday and received NO REPONSE all day long. After waiting 8 hours with no response, I figured the case was dropped and reposting was my only recourse.
Thank you,
John Carter

Scrolling is pain :-(

Hi SAP/ SDN,
could you please include the minimize icon for the detailed level navigation of SDN, so that we can avoid scrolling atleast horizontally.
it is availble by default installation of portal, but why did SDN implementation remove it.
please consider this as scrolling horizontally is really a pain, i guess not only for me
Thanks

Hi RK,
NW04, the platform we are running SDN on, does provide a widget and feature to collapse the left hand side. This would disable the need to horizontally scroll.
However SAP User Management Experience group is doing a lot of user testing and research with SAP's applications. They are setting cohesive UX standards across our applications. Although our situation is a little different because we needed to pay attention to web standards as well. (even though, of course, we are using the biggest application of all. ) we can learn from their experiences and advice.
The Left Nav Collapse widget confused us when we first saw it. We investigated the use of this functionality on the web and could not find an example of it anywhere.
- the interaction is not intuitive because it hasn't been seen online very often (if at all)
- the images used in the NW04 portal application are misleading
- when a user makes a mistake and clicks on it, it is hard to recover from because they may not have realized what happpened. this is a real danger with introducing new functionality to the web.
Meanwhile if you take a stroll through the global top 500 sites (including microsoft.com) you'll see that most sites with left navigation areas are fixed (aka non-collapsible) thus there is not a clear industry standard established for hiding/showing them based on the most frequently used web sites.
http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_500
In Microsoft OS, panels like this (such as Help) are typically opened by selecting from the function menus across the top of the screen (or keyboard shortcuts) then collapsed (hidden) by clicking the [ x ] widget. Thus no standard hide/show toggle widget.
On our Corporate Portal, we find all the widgets questionable in terms of usefulness, usability, and semantic expression.
[ + ] [ - ] Typically represent the zoom up/down functionality in most familiar desktop apps -- thus are a gross/confusing misrepresentation in the Portal. These two symbols are also used in a toggle widget in a tree control to reveal/hide hierarchical information.
[ x ] means "close" a window NOT "collapse" a panel as misused in the Portal.
> is generally used as a toggle widget to reveal subordinate hierarchical information. It's also been used gratuitously to represent all kinds of other functionality which has made the semantic of this symbol very ambiguous to users and typically doesn't test well for usability.
We are looking into the possiblity to create our own widget, so we can test it with some users and then implement it to remove the need for horizontal scrolling.
Kind regards
Marco
