LaTeX2ConTeXt : external links not work after recompiled

LaTeX2ConTeXt : external links not work after recompiled

[VnPenguin]

Hi all,
Just recompiled the doc LaTeX2ConTeXt
(http://www.berenddeboer.net/tex/LaTeX2ConTeXt.pdf). The compiling
process is OK under tetex-beta 2.99.4.

But all external links not work! When I click on them, I go to the 1st
page of document.
Internal links work well.

Anyone could help me please.

Thank you in advance,
Quy NGUYEN-DAI

They work well here. I've just tried the document on
live.contextgarden.net, no problems there either. My teTeX is dated
20040711

Hmm, my tetex is 2.99.4.20041128-beta :(
Can't understand why ???

Quy, have you tried it in a different PDF viewer?
Not all platforms treat links the same.

I had a look at the PDF file and it is broken. I just downloaded
tetex2.99.4 but I wasn't able to reproduce the problem. I had tons of
other problems, though...

Just tried this PDF with Acrobat 5.0 (Win2k) and I have the same
problem with external links :(

Oh,
In fact I have no problem with 2.99.4-beta. ConTeXt works fine, even
with Vietnamese Unicode input file. But all external links were broken
:(

So with tetex-2.99.4-beta ( TeXExec 5.2.3 - ConTeXt) : 

[x] working ConTeXt
[ ] correct external links
[x] Vietnamese Unicode Input

Re: LaTeX2ConTeXt : external links not work after recompiled

Hello Quy, Thomas,

I have looked into your problematic document, and it looks as if the
ConTeXt version in the tetex beta is broken in this respect.

--------------------------------------------------
\setupcolors
  [state=start]
\setupinteraction
  [state=start,color=blue]
\useURL
[contextsupport]
[http://www.pragma-ade.com/]

\starttext
Look at  \from[contextsupport]!

\stoptext
--------------------------------------------------

compiles fine, but shows the same error: the hyperlink does not point
to the website, but to the first page.

>  The compiling process is OK under tetex-beta 2.99.4.

As far as I can see, this tetex ships with

ConTeXt  ver: 2004.11.23 


OK is:

ConTeXt  ver: 2004.11.16

sigh.  this isn't a _ship_, it's a beta for experimentation (fwiw, the
op should have been mailing to the tetex-beta list: no matter..).

can someone please persuade hans to replace the context/current on his
web site with something that works.  what appears on context/current
gets to ctan, and what gets to ctan appears in tetex.  a mail to me
would expedite the corrected stuff appearing on ctan.

more serious is (i bet) that that context is also on the texlive tree,
and that really _is_ about to ship.

A fix in the works, I assume. Meanwhile ...

The ISO named texlive2004-inst-20041127.iso on CTAN dated is the one that 
is being burned, I assume? If so, then there is good news: TL does not
contain 2004.11.23 but version 2004.11.17, and that version works OK on
Patrick's example, using acroread 5.0.5 on linux. 

It is a bit odd that a beta version of context was used for production TL and 
does not have the bug whereas the tetex beta used the production version of 
context and does have the bug. ;-)

Greetings, Taco

i think that something went wrong when i patched the \from macro for handling 
the nested color support. The url support is rather dirty hooked into other 
mechanisms.

I'll upload a fix asap.

in core.ref.tex, patch:

\def\setouterlocation#1%
   {\ifundefined{\v!file:::#1}%
      \ifconditional\forceURLlocation
        \edef\otherURL{#1}%
        \let\otherfile\empty
      \else
        \let\otherURL\empty
        \edef\otherfile{#1}%
      \fi
    \else
      \let\doexternaldocument\setouterfilelocation
      \let\doexternalurl     \setouterfilelocation % <<< missing line
      \csname\v!file:::#1\endcsname
    \fi
    \setfalse\forceURLlocation
    \doifparentfileelse\otherfile
      {\let\otherURL\empty
       \let\otherfile\empty
       \global\let\otherlabel\empty
       \let\otherprefix\empty}
      {\xdef\otherlabel{#1}%
       \edef\otherprefix{#1::}}}

I need to rewrite this piece of code, currently there is some nasty overloading 
taking place (in order to safe hash entries i pack several things into one 
macro, which is used nested and which meaning gets overloaded)

don't worry, the bug is is not affecting the whole lot (only \from when used
with a url, the other \goto{}[url(...}] stuff is supposed to work; urls can be
set in many ways -)

concerning tex live: there's probably a bit older version in there (sebastian
got it directly from me); i'll check
