Create Hyperlink to the part of the image in HTML using AREA tag

Hi everyone,

Its been a long time that I have been posted a new one. This time I would like share with you the information to create or make some part of the image as hyperlink.

Source:
<img src="image.jpg" usemap="#areal" />
<map name="areal">
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,50,50" href="http://www.pillisureshraju.info/" target="_blank"></area>
</map>

Important values to observe:
image.jpg -- Image name
areal -- map area name
rect -- Shape type
0,0,50,50 -- x1,y1,x2,y2 coordinates of the shape
href -- hyperlink reference

Now, the hyperlink is been created for your image with the specified coordinates.

Live CD Ubuntu Customization Kit (UCK) without Internet

Hi friends,

As many of you know that, UCK (Ubuntu Customization Kit) requires Internet when customizing the Live CD.

Why we need Internet while customization?

• To get the updates from the repositories we need the internet.
• To install any software using apt-get/synaptic package manager.

Do we need Internet all the time?

According to me, We may not need the Internet for small updates.

So, I have modified the customization scripts to work without Internet.

Pre-requisites:

Please download the following files.

sources.gz: 

According the ubuntu distro, we need to get the sources.gz from the link

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/dists/$DISTRO_CODENAME/main/source/Sources.gz

gfxboot-theme-ubuntu_x.x.x:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu/

Please place these two files in ~/Softwares/UCK/ directory

Note: ~ is home directory of the user.

Apply Patches

If you installed UCK, you will having the /usr/lib/uck/customization-profiles/localized_cd/ directory

In that directory, you will be having customize and customize_iso scripts.

Those two scripts will be copies to /home//tmp folder while running the UCK.

So, please apply the following patches in /usr/lib/uck/customization-profiles/localized_cd/ 

Now apply the patch as shown below

$ patch -u customize customize.patch

$ patch -u customize_iso customize_iso.patch

Create and Apply Patch file in Linux using Diff command

Hi friends,

When I was updating one file, I have taken backup as filename_old.

After updating (adding and removing line) the current file, I thought let me see what are all the updates I have done to the current file. Then I thought, there is a concept call patch file.

Then I decided to create the patch file.

I have searched and surprised that "diff" command is able to do that.

Procedure:

Files: 1.txt (Original File), 2.txt (Modified File), diff.patch (Patch File)

1.txt	2.txt
a	a
b	b
c	c
d	e
e	f
f	g

Create Patch


Syntax: diff -Naur Original_File Modified_File > Patch_File

In terminal window, execute the following command

$ diff -Naur 1.txt 2.txt >> diff.patch


Output:

diff.patch

Apply Patch

Syntax: patch -u Original_File Patch_File


$ patch -u 1.txt diff.patch


Output:

Now, we have successfully applied the patch to the old (Original) file.
