Name: URLize Developer: GoLive Product Team Source: Sample Extension in the GoLive SDK folder Cost: Free Converting a bunch of email addresses or Web site URLs in a page to hyperlinks can be a really tedious task. Links pages and employee directories are perfect examples of Web pages with lots of hyperlinks or email addresses. It's not hard, but it's really boring and error-prone. The URLize extension automates hyperlinking and is included for free as a sample extension with GoLive. If you don't have the Adobe GoLive SDK:Samples folder in your GoLive application folder, you can always download the latest version of the SDK and the sample extension at http://partners.adobe.com/asn/golive/download.jsp. To convert a link, select the email address or URL in the Layout Editor and choose Extensions> URLize text > Convert a selected URL or email text to a link (Figure 244). GoLive instantly converts the selected text, such as http://www.adobe.com, into a link to itself. Figure 244. Select one of the URLize commands to automatically convert hyperlinks.You can also convert the entire page at once. If you have several URLs and email addresses to convert in a page, select Extensions> URLize text > Convert all URL and email text to links. What a timesaver! |
