Variables in Muse Master

Is it possible to position a variable container or placeholder on the master that adopts the name of the page in runtime?
I have built a master for each of the 26 personal biography pages under the "About Us" section of my web site. I want to place a variable on the master that takes on the name of each page and displays it in 24 pt font with white letters.
If there's a way to do that, everytime I create a new page (for a new employee) or an employee changes names due to a marriage or divorce I can just change the page name in planning mode and that name will display automatically during runtime.
Right now I'm having to place a text field on each individual page and space and type each one one at a time. Placing a variable placeholder on the master would be much faster and ensure uniformity across my site.
Thanks.
Andy.

This is what I was after. I want to beable to do page titles in the view it self. I do large prototypes/mockups in muse.
Typically in a website you'll have a page title in the top left corner. If I have a 20 page design putting in those titles can become tidious

I created mega menu in adobe muse ( master page ) but the thing is when I preview that menu in other pages contents I already had created will overlap the menu. Is there any options that would fix that problem up. I'd like to have the menu overlap the contents. That does not happen on master page ( master page looks good ) Thank you very much.

Place the menu on its own layer above the rest of the page content.

Hi Brad,
I notice doble brackets and also use normal page for converting it to BC template. Also I have delete uploaded page from /dir as BC every time generating the same tamplate but with diferent name when I am publishing updated project from Muse.

Do we have any method to input data and store it in a variable with Muse?

Hi, I know we can create contact forms, but I am not interested in that. Let's imagine I want to create an input for example:
What's your name? ________________
The user enter a reply: JOE
And then I grab that data from a variable and I write:
Nice to meet you JOE
Could we make this in Muse?
How?
Cheers

Hi Mr Mister,
I will recommend that you use JavaScript. In fact, the easiest way that I can think of achieving this is via AngularJS
I implemented the first basic example, which is what you requested, from the AngularJS's web site on this muse page - Demo - Angularjs, to demonstrate how it can be integrated with Muse.
Screen cast of the demo page(, in case I accidentally break the Demo page above in future) -->
This is how I implemented it. This code snippet goes into the 'Page Properties -> Metadata -> HTML for Head' -->
<script>
window.onload = function() {
document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].setAttribute("ng-app","");
var scr = document.createElement('script');
scr.src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.0/angular.min.js";
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(scr);
</script>
This is the code that you insert via 'Object -> Insert HTML' to place the input box on the page -->
Name here - <input type="text" ng-model="yourName" placeholder="Enter a name here"> will auto update :
And finally, this is the code that is repeated on the page to display the name, inserted via 'Object -> Insert HTML' -->
<h1>Here - {{yourName}}!</h1>
To explain this briefly, 'yourName' is the variable that you were talking about capturing via the input so that you can display that anywhere on the site. Let me know if you need more clarification on this.

Scrolling in MUSE master page

I am just starting to rebuild one of my sites using MUSE. On my Master page I have the background and what looks like a page sitting on top of the background. I would like this page to expand with the information I add to it. right now the text runs off the page onto the background.
Thank you

Hi,
It is strange that the initialize event is working for the first button.
If I was doing this, I would pass the SOM through to the function:
var oButton = this.somExpression;
if(init.value == 0){
fOnglet.fpanelChange(oButton, this.index, this.all.length);
init.value = "1";
Then I would resolve it in the function:
function fpanelChange(o_btn, n_numPanel, n_totalPanel)
var o_btn = xfa.resolveNode(o_btn);
Again this is working in the initialize event but not the click.
Here is the form: https://acrobat.com/#d=drzwPU-rDXl3wSAzRLK3Sg (not much different / not working).
Here is a sample when I change visual appearance in a function (where all the objects are on the design pages): https://acrobat.com/#d=XGj9UEk4lSbDSoArnQU8dQ
I will try and have a look again later,

Selection Variable - List Key and Text filtered by master data attribute.

Hi Gang,
Is there a way to create a selection variable on a master data InfoObject, so that only a subset set of values (Key and Text) is presented to users, based on an attribute of that InfoObject?
For example, can we create a selction variable for raw materials so the we display 0MATERIAL key and text for selection, where material type = ROH ?
Our users don't want to wade through all values for all materials.
Thanks for your help,
John Hawk

Hi,
yes you can do it, you need to set type as navigational attribute in you infocube, and you will get type as characteristic in designer so you can modify it as requirement.
hope it helps

Parameter on Master Detail Form

How do I set a bind variable in a Master Detail Form?

I suspect that he may have the same question I do. Namely, if I have four tables (employees, projects, tasks, and project_assignments) how do I create a master detail form where I can specify the project and the employee via LOVs? The project_assignments table contains foreign keys for employee, project, and task, as well as additional fields relating to the task status.
Currently, I have it set up so that the employee name can be selected and the project is hard coded to the current project.
Is there an easy way to populate the detail records based on two LOVs in the master form?
Thanks in advance,
Fritz

Migrating large project from DSC 7.1 to LabView 2009 Shared Variables ... What's the next step after recreating my variables?

I am in the process of migrating a large distributed (multi-workstation) automation system from the LabVIEW 7.11 DSCEngine on Windows XP to the LabVIEW 2009 Shared Variable Engine on Windows 7.
I have about 600 tags which represent data or IO states in a series of Opto22 instruments, accessible via their OptoOPCServer. There are another 150 memory tags which are used so the multiple workstations can trade requests and status information to coordinate motion and process sequencing. Only one workstation may be allowed to run the Opto22 server, because otherwise the Opto22 instruments are overwhelmed by the multiple communications requests; for simplicity, I'll refer to that workstation as the Opto22 gateway.
The LabVIEW 2009 migration tool was unable to properly migrate the Opto22 tags, but with some help from NI support (thank you, Jared!) and many days of pointing and clicking, I have successfully created a bound shared-variable library connecting to all the necessary data and IO. I've also created shared variables corresponding to the memory tags. All the variables have been deployed.
So far, so good. After much fighting with Windows 7 network location settings, I can open the Distributed System Manager on a second W7/LV2009 machine (I'll refer to it as the "remote" machine henceforth) and see the processes and all those variables on the Opto22 gateway workstation. I've also created a few variables on the remote workstation and confirmed that I can see them from the gateway workstation.
Now I need to be able to use (both read and write) the variables in VIs running on the remote workstation machine. (And by extension, on more remote workstations as I do the upgrade/migration).
I have succeeded in reading and writing them by creating a tag reader pointed at the URL for the process on the Opto22 gateway. I can see a way I could replace the old DSC tag reads and writes in my applications using this technique, but is this the right way to do this? Is this actually using the Shared Variable Engine, or is it actually using the DataSocket? I know for a fact that attempting to manipulate ~800 items via Datasocket will bog down the systems.
I had the impression that I should be able to create shared variables in my project on the remote workstation that link to those on the Opto22 gateway workstation. When, however, I try to browse to find the processes on that workstation, I get an error saying that isn't possible.
Am I on the right track with the tag reader? If not, is there some basic step I'm missing in trying to access the shared variables I created on the gateway workstation?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I have found the answer to part of my question -- an relatively easy way to create a "remote" library of shared variables that connect to the master library on my gateway workstation.
Export the variables from the master library as a csv file and copy that to the remote machine.
Open the file on the remote machine (in excel or the spreadsheet app of your choice) and (for safety's sake) immediately save it with a name marking it as the remote version.
Find the network path column (it was "U" in my file).
replace the path for each variable (which will be either a long file path or a blank, depending on the kind of variable) with \\machine\'process name'\variable name
where machine is the name or ip address of the master (gateway) workstation (I used the ip address to make sure it uses my dedicated automation ethernet network rather than our building-wide network)
and process name is the name of the process with the deployed variables visible in the Distributed System Manager on the gateway machine.
NOTE the single quotes around the process name; they are required.
The variable name is in the first ("A") column, so in Excel, I could do this for line 2 with the formula =CONCATENATE("\\machine\'process name'\",A2)
Once the formula worked on line 2, I could copy it into all the other lines.
Save the CSV file.
Import the CSV into the remote library to create the variables.
Note: at this point, if you attempt to deploy the variables, it will fail. The aliases are not quite set properly yet.
Open the properties for the first imported variable.
There is probably an error message at the bottom saying the alias is invalid.
In the alias section, you'll see it is set to "Project Variable" with the network path from step 4.
Change the setting to "PSP URL" with the same path and the error message should disappear.
Close the properties box, save the library, and then export the variables to a new CSV file.
Open the new CSV file in Excel, and scroll sideways to the NetworkrojectBound field.
You'll notice it is False for the first variable, and true for the rest. Set the field FALSE for all lines in the spreadsheet.
Scroll sideways... you'll notice there are two new columns between NetworkrojectPath and Network:UseBinding
The first one is NetworkingleWriter; it should already be FALSE for all lines.
The second one is Network:URL. That needs to be set equal to the value for each line of NetworkrojectPath.
You can accomplish this with a formula like in step 4. In Excel it was =U2 for line 2, and then cut and paste into all lines below it.
There is a third new field, Path, which should already be set to the location of the variable library. You don't need to do anything with it.
Save the edited CSV file.
Go back to the remote library, and import variables from the just-edited remote library CSV file.
Once you have imported them and the Multiple Variable Editor opens, click on done.
You should now be able to deploy the remote variable library without error. (Make sure to open the Distributed System Manager and start the local variable engine. It took me a few failures before I realized I had to do that before attempting a deployment).
Voila! You now have a "remote" library of shared variables that references all the shared variables on the master machine, and which should be deployable on other machines with very little difficulty.
It actually took longer to write out the process here than to perform these steps once I figured it out.

Adding a Variable Value to the cpQuizInfoPointsScored Variable

I have a variable that I am using to track incorrect responses (clicking incorrect buttons while completing a process) and I want to add the value of the the variable to the value of cpQuizInfoScored. I can create an expression to add the two but I can't select cpQuizInfoePointsScored to receive the total.
Any help would be appreciated.

Jimmy. This might be that you are misunderstanding how the Interactive Master widget works with partial scoring. Basically you need to specify the score that will be allocated to a slave object using the Scoring section in the Master Widget properties interface. That's the score that will be reported to the Quiz instead of the default score you've assigned to the interactive widget via the Properties > Report Score section in Captivate.
Using the preference settings you select, the Master Widget is going to try and work out whether or not the Variable Slave is in a Success or Failure condition, and THEN it will report whatever score you've assigned for that circumstance.
What you're trying to do is a little different. You want to have ONE variable slave that can have a score anywhere between 60 to zero. My suggestion is that you consider using setting up different user variables for each of the interactive objects on the slide that you are tracking and then add each of these variables into the Master widget as Variable Slaves, assigning each one a Success or Failure score in the Scoring screen.
For example, if you ahve a number of click boxes on a slide and you are tracking whether or not the user clicks the right ones, you need to set up a user variable with a default value of 0 for each click box and assign that variable a value of 1 if the click box gets clicked.
The Master Widget will be able to determine for each of these slaves whether they are in a Success or Fail condition based on whether the variable is set to 0 or 1 and then add up the relevant scores allocated for each variable. This aggregated score is what can be reported to the quiz score, over riding the default score assigned to the widget.

Binds in Master/Detail Reports: Problems and Solutions

I've been trying to use bind variables in the master report of master/detail reports with multiple detail reports; but, I've been getting a problem with the detail reports not displaying data.
Here's a sample sequence of events:
1) Select the master/detail report under User Defined Reports.
2) Connect to a DB (if necessary).
3) Enter any value(s) for the bind(s) for the master report.
4) Select a row in the master report.
5) The currently selected detail report displays column names and data.
6) Select a different detail report.
7) Nothing displays except column names.
8) Select a different detail report.
9) Nothing displays except column names.
10) Click the currently selected row in the master report.
11) Now the current selected detail report displays (column names and) data.
I have found that if, I am more selective with my bind variable names, I can get things to work as expected.
First, let me show an example of some SQL that was giving me problems.
Master Report:
select distinct OWNER
from SYS.ALL_OBJECTS
where (OWNER like :OWNER or :OWNER is NULL)
Detail Reports:select *
from SYS.ALL_OBJECTS
where OWNER = :OWNER
and OBJECT_TYPE = 'INDEX'replacing 'INDEX' with other values for the other detail reports.
(I did have this problem with other SQL too but hopefully this SQL will run on everyone's DB.)
The first solution I found was to change the name of the bind in the master to something like OWNER_BIND.
The second solution I found was to change the master to
select distinct OWNER as POWNERand change the detail reports to
where OWNER = :POWNERAnother solution might be to adjust the bind variable names' case, but I didn't look at that.
While I was trying different things to get this to work, one of the goofy things that SQL Developer did was add <binds>s to the <query>s of the detail reports in my UserReports.xml. IIRC, it even did this to a master/detail report that I was not editing. So, if you run into this problem, you might want to open your UserReports.xml and clean it up by hand. (Actually, that might be good advice for other problems too.)
Tip: I've had other problems with my User Reports such as disappearing reports; so, not only do I regularly make copies my UserReports.xml, I also save report(s) into separate XML files and use Tools > Preferences... > Database > User Defined Extensions to add REPORT-type extensions to SQL Developer. (Kris Rice talked a bit about REPORT-type extensions in this blog entry: http://krisrice.blogspot.com/2006/11/xml-extension-points-reports.html)
FYI: I'm using sqldeveloper-1.1.2.2579 on Windows XP w/ SP2. The DB is Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production.

Here is the complete XML exported from a problem report. If you want to use this, save it as an XML file then import that file from within SQL Developer (ie, right-click on User Defined Reports and choose Import).
Notice that there are <binds>s on the detail reports. They don't belong there; only the one on the master report belongs. (The <binds> is specified by the Binds tab when creating a report. They are for prompting the user for value(s) and you cannot do that in child reports.) Even if I removed the <binds>s from the detail reports before importing the XML file, I still see the problem. SQL Developer also ends up putting them back. I think that it might happen to each detail report individually as it is visited when using (ie, not editing) the master/detail report.

Dynamically Setting a Variable from a Connection String that has been set by a Config File

Hi Guys
I'm setting up a Master / Slave (Parent / Child) dtsx environment but I'm unable to work out how to dynamically set a variable in the Master dtsx from a connection string that has had its value set by a config file. I'm sure it's possible.
Below is the what I'm hoping to achieve. I've set up everything apart from the highlighted section.
Any ideas?

First, what version of SQL Server are you using?
You could switch the problem around. You could set the value of a variable from the config file, then it is easy to use that variable as the connection string source for your connection manager. At the same time you can use a parent variable
configuration to map that variable to variables in your child package.

I created a website and a phone version with Adobe Muse. In order to add schema tags, I downloaded Dreamweaver and edited the website. Will these tags remain if I edit the site with muse again? Does Dreamweaver have to download the phone layout separately

Also, I want to add Schema tags to the Muse master page copy, particularly serviceArea tags, but I'm not seeing the elements in Dreamweaver. Where are elements from the master found in Dreamweaver?

Hi,
I checked the first site, and there is no phone/tablet layout. On My phone, you desktop version appears fine.
regarding second site, I see the phone layout with template content, so I doubt, if you have deleted the phone layout folder from the server, but did not delete the layout in Muse file. Hence when you publish the site again, the folder was created again.
could you please confirm this, so I can test it further.

Variable in book

I have a book with two novellas in it (short stories) with a total of about 35 files. Each story has a cover page with the title which has a paratag called "HB_HeadingBook". I'd like the title of the novella to appear in the header of each page.
So far Frame has resisted all of my attempts to do this using running header/footer 2 which I've defined as "<$paratext[HB_HeadingBook]>".
How do I put a variable on the master page which updates with the correct title?
Thanks.

At the book level, define the $volnum variable to be a Text entry and enter in the title of the novella. Then on the Master pages, in the running h/f text block, use the <$volnum> variable instead of the $paratext reference.
You may have to break the book into two separate book files and then build a book of books to run both novellas together.
