Creating a link to a relative path

• Urgent: how to create a shortcut with a relative path?

  I put a set of files and folders nested on a server on a network location.  (Use of office machines Vista; I don't know that the server is running.  The files are a text file and two Office 2007 files).  Users will copy this set-up files on their computer (there is a program of VBA macro in a Word document, they need).  They need tomorrow (Friday) and the shortcut path gives me fits!

  The hierarchy looks like:

  MainDir
  File.txt
  SubDir1
  Shortcut to the Word file
  SubDir2
  Word file
  Excel file

  I don't think even the paths associated with the shortcut until I looked a little deeper.  Because I put all the files and folders together on my computer, when I did a drag - move in the folder on the server, the target properties and start in the shortcut always pointed at my computer!  So now, I'm afraid that a user copy this on their machine will have a shortcut that points to ~ my ~ computer, instead of the file on their computer.

  I deleted the shortcut located on the server and creates a new one from the Word file in the directory on the server.  Better - I think - but it still points to the location of the server.  And it is even more likely that, when the user opens the shortcut, it will try to open the file on the server, vice the file on their computer.

  How can I create a shortcut to this Word file that will pick up the relative path from around where to reside?  I can just click > properties and change the target and start in paths?  Or do I need a VBScript or VBA?

  I have to get this done fast!  A kick - in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

  Hi Ed,

  It is not possible to create a shortcut with a relative path.

  You can try the following allows to bypass and check if it helps:

  Create a shortcut to cmd.exe running the start command to open the current directory. Then set the MDC in the

  The shortcut properties.

  a. make a new shortcut to: cmd.exe /c start.

  b. now right-click on it and get the properties of the shortcut (shortcut tab).

  c. the shortened full path must have been set to this:

  %windir%\system32\CMD.exe /c start.

  d. set the directory of "start in" (i.e. DLG) to be a relative path:

  (Example for a shortcut on the desktop)

  ...\SendTo

  e. click on "change icon...". "and set" look for icons in this file: "to: %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll and press ENTER.

  Standard folder icon will probably be in the lower right.

  f. now you can copy this file and simply change the "start in:" to make new related shortcuts directory.

  NOTE: The above steps are just an example, so try this at your own risk. And check if it works.

• A link to a relative path in FLASH CS6

  I'm doing a site for a school project.  I'm afraid once I pass the next, someone will move my files and screw up my FLV links.  How can I go on a link of my videos with a relative path for files FLV actually plays?

  This url is incorrect.

  But assuming that it should be http://www.sitename.com/MoralityPlay/introVideoWithInfographic.flv

  and assuming that your html and swf are int http://www.sitename.com/MoralityPlay

  the relative path to your video is introVideoWithInfographic.flv

  If your html and swf are in the folder root of http://www.sitename.com

  the relative path to your video is MoralityPlay/introVideoWithInfographic.flv

• create tablespace with giving the relative path

  Can I create tablespace with the help of relative to the parameter "DATA file" path?
  
  I get error ORA: 01119 when I run with the relative path in the code example:

  CREATE TABLESPACE "INDX" 
  BLOCKSIZE 8192 
  DATAFILE  '\myrelativeFolder\indx01.dbf' 
  SIZE 2604M       
  AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10485760  MAXSIZE 32767M EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL  AUTOALLOCATE  ONLINE PERMANENT;

  Version: Oracle 10g, PlSql Developer.

  Maybe add environment variable operating system to the value of the DATA file somehow? I don't want to create the tablespace with full path, from the name of the drive and ending with file name.

  On Unix, use the korn shell, you could try something like this:

  #!/bin/ksh
  
  REL_PATH="\myrelativeFolder\indx01.dbf"
  
  sqlplus $ORA_USER/$ORA_PSWD@$ORACLE_SID << EOF > $LOGFILE
  declare
    v_Path varchar2(50) := '${REL_PATH}';
  
  begin
    execute immediate 'CREATE TABLESPACE "INDX" BLOCKSIZE 8192 DATAFILE ' || v_Path || ' SIZE 2604M
                       AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10485760  MAXSIZE 32767M EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL
                       AUTOALLOCATE  ONLINE PERMANENT';
  
  end;

  exit;
  EOF
  exit 0
  

• link with the relative path includes the root folder

  I hope someone can help me. When I convert a Word to PDF file with a path relative to another document, a reason any Acrobat includes the directory root with the path if the link does not work. Even when I try and change the link using Acrobat Pro and save the document, the system adds the default root directory. What is happening with this?

  example:

  Directory with the file/subdirectory with file/sup under directory with the file / / my document.pfs

  site to register:

  C: / / my documents /.

  Directory with the file/subdirectory with file/sup under directory with the file / / my document.pfs

  solved my problem. I removed the links in the word document and then created in Acrobat. It worked.

• Links-relative path?

  I created a PDF file for presentation to a client.

  There are other PDFs to be accessible during the presentation at certain points.  I put the 'Link To A File' links to the right places in the main PDF file and stressed these secondary PDF.

  I've included with the main PDF file PDF secondary.  Everything is in a single folder with no subdirectory.

  So when I send my client, the file zipped with all PDF files, why is that when my client is by clicking on the links in the main PDF file it is looking for these secondary PDF on MY hard drive!

  I hunted a solution for using relative paths, but Acrobat is emphasizing the ABSOLUTE use, and what he asks me gene huge with my client because I can't make it work for him.

  See you soon

  The path is not absolute, even if it looks like that. You can easily test and see for yourself. Move the file to another folder, and you will see that the path of the link changes with it.

  The problem is probably caused by viewing the file on an iPad. The file system on mobile devices is quite different from 'normal' computers, so I'm not surprised that the links to other files work. In addition, it depends a lot on what app is used, but I think that in this case, it would not matter much.

• I use the links added in the pdf edition and that it will create absolute links to relative links not?

  When I send files to the client the links do not work as they refer to the place on my hard drive not record that they exist in the customer's computer.  Is there a way to create a link with Adobe DC?  IE.   supportingfile.PDF instead of C://files/documents/myfiles/supportingfile.pdf. If the links will always work when they are sent to the client.

  Links created in Acrobat are always relative (unless you hardcoded the path to the file in a script or something like that). Move the file to a different location, and you will see that they will change accordingly.

• Changes of relative path to absolute path when creating a child of the model

  Hello

  I found very useful model Dreamweaver features and was doing well until I created a child by selecting the Site template and the template file in the new Document dialog box to discover the following problem:

  In the template file, a path appears as follows:

  "" < link rel = "stylesheet" type = "text/css" href = ".. /.. / common/css/all.css">

  However, in the case of the child, the same path has changed to the following:

  "< link rel ="stylesheet"type =" text/css" href="file:///D|/xampp/htdocs/xyz.com/common/css/all.css ">

  I want to retain the same relative path in the child's file. Please advise me how it can be maintained.

  Thanks as always,

  EAD

  In the template file, a path appears as follows:

  " href =".. /.. / common/css/all.css '> '.

  It is not possible for a link appears like this in your model. This is because the template MUST be in the templates folder, which is at the root of the site. A single deep folder level, it is only possible to go UP one level to look for any other file/folder in the site. But your link says to go up TWO levels! Something wrong here. Is your template in the Templates folder? Is - this folder at the root of the site?

  Furthermore, Ben's response is quite accurate. Given that DW does not know when your page of the child should be registered, it cannot create the link until it is saved.

• Link to files via the relative path?

  It seems that Captivate is only able to connect to external files via absolute links. In other words, when I create a click box that opens a file and select a file that is located on my development machine, the project will always look this file on my hard drive, even once it is posted on the Web. It's extremely frustrating, and I have not found a work around.
  
  Please help me identify a way to bind using a relative path. In other words, the project will solve it is the current residence and search for content in the directory, it lies in or specified directories under this location. It is the only way that you can create a project that can run successfully during the validation. Captivate already done this, when you create a click box that opens another project, so there MUST be a way to do when opening project files!
  
  Help, please!
  
  Thank you
  Dan Roberts

  You, Mr President, is a scholar and a gentleman!

  According to the agreements that you have described, I was able to create workable links. This should be widely published, I'm sure that many other authors is on the same problem.

  Note to Adobe: the ability to create relative links should be inside the product option, as in most of the other products I've used.

• How to create a shortcut with relative path

  Hi all

  I'm a Linux user, so I don't have enough experience to solve this problem.

  How can I create a shortcut with relative path?

  Usually it is easy to create a shortcut with the absolute path for example:
  Windows accepts shortcut path with absolute c:\bin\app.exe, but he does not accept the following relative path:
  .\bin\app.exe

  Hi mbnoimi,.

  Follow these steps:

  Make a new shortcut to: cmd.exe /c start.

  Now, right-click on it and get the properties of the shortcut (shortcut tab).

• Creating a shortcut with relative paths

  I'm trying to set up a folder so that I can copy a group of files from USB drives, and I want to place a shortcut to open the Powerpoint Viewer into a subfolder of this folder to copy.   When I put in place a regular shortcut, it creates the full path: 'C:\Users\xx\Documents\Thumb Drive Files\With CAD Drawings\Product présentation Files\pptview.exe training', and when they are copied on a USB key, it will not work because it seeks the path 'C:', rather than the relative path in the folder, \With CAD Drawings\Product Training Presentation Files\pptview .exe.  I don't remember how to set this up with relative paths.

  You can't go with shortcut, you use a batch file on the root of the drive that has an order of relative path for the first command in it.

• Relative paths for links

  Hello

  How can I configure the AI CC document-relative paths? For example, if I have a folder like structure

  .../Project

  .../Project/Source-images

  .../Project/AI-scripts

  .../Project/actual-AI-files

  you get...

  so now if I save the project on an external hard drive folder or anywhere else where I have to update the paths for all my documents in/Project/actual-I-files that are related to the files/Project/Source-images and/Project/HAVE-scripts, although the relative path remain the same. Can I use relative instead paths?

  Thank you

  Unfortunately you can not do.

  Only chance is to have all the files related to the same level as the file HAVE (no subfolders)

• Relative path of Windows shortcut file

  Hello

  I have the complete file of PDFs (hundreds of them) and I need them zip. I need also make a shortcut of one of these pdf files in this zip and rename it, so it is recognizable among others. But when I do a shortcut, zip of PDFs with the shortcut and delete the original files - inside the zip link stops working.

  I have a question if I can have this shortcut in the relative path, so it is not dependent on the original data, and if it can work inside this zip (as well as inside the folder) any absolute path is.

  Can someone help me? Is it still possible?

  Thank you very much

  Nobody has never reported a method to create shortcuts on Windows.  A lot of people seems to have attempted; If you are looking for relative shortcut in this forum you will see other threads on the subject.

• How can I create a link to an image that is located on an ftp site to a Web page that is located on another.

  How can I create a link to an image that is located on an ftp site to a Web page that is located on another.

  I managed to do it with the full path of the link (file:///C|/Users/myname/Documents/familyK3/image1.jpg), but as it is quite long, I would use the relative path. To be clear, I have 1 site that spans 3 different storage locations for FTP. site1 (named familyK), that contains the page. On this page, I have an image that is in the images on training3 (named familyK3). I tried... / familyK3/images and... /... (/ familyK3/images, but I don't get to see the photo in DW (since it usually refers to an image in the same folder (root)) and not to another location).

  I use dreamweaver8.

• Relative paths for assets with several users of Muse

  I have created a shared folder in Dropbox that allows different people with responsibility for editing my site, each with a licensed copy of Muse, to access the files of Muse. All the assets required for the sitting next site or in a subdirectory under the main file of the Muse.

  But because the literal path for the dropbox folder (or any other shared folder, I guess) contains his username, and because the link point to the shared folder can be arranged differently on their machine (some people mount dropbox in 'Documents', others also), the literal path to the file to Muse is distinguished by the user.  I guess this is true even on the same computer with different users.

  As a result of these literal paths differ, at the opening of the Muse site, even when all assets required by the site are in the same folder or subfolder as master of muse, each user is asked to re-edit the link active whenever they open it after someone else has and can of the moment of their side.

  There is no way to have Muse look relative paths instead of the railways literal to avoid this?

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to watch right now the relative paths instead of literal. It's a good request well and I'll take it to the top with the development team!

  Muse auto-liens all assets after the first warning of dialogue, however, correct? And out of curiosity, how this multi-user workflow going for you?
