[SOLVED] hyperlink in another folder/application

I have an HTML page with a menu of several options from which the user can choose. Each option has a hyperlink which opens its own HTML page. This HTML menu was created in Dev Studio in WF version 7.

We're now using WF version 8.2.02 and App Studio. I want to change some of the hyperlinks from our menu to open up HTML pages in another folder (application).

I can go to the Requests & Data Sources panel and select & right click the applicable Request for the hyperlink I want to change. I can then select Change Request.

But then - in the Open File window - it only lets me choose HTML pages from the same folder/application (or sub-folder) I'm already in.

How do I select an HTML page which is in another folder/application?

Thanks,
Mark

folkie

I suspect this is a limitation of how the product works. You might consider opening a case with techsupport and see if they have a workaround.


Thank you for using Focal Point!

What I ended up doing was to edit the HTML code via Notepad and use a different application (folder) than the one created from the GUI.

However, I've noticed that when I've edited an HTML page using Notepad, when I open it later on in App Studio, I'll get a message saying it was manually edited and may not be usable.

However, one of my HTML pages (created in Dev Studio version 7.7) that I wanted to make a minor change on (just changing some text) became unusable after I made the change in the GUI in App Studio. For that, I needed to change the text (on a copy of the original HTML) by editing the HTML - and it now works fine in our version 8.2.02.

Thanks,
Mark

Yes it is documented that once you use App Studio to update an html form created in dev studio you can't go back.
