Master page overrides - override more than one page at a time?

Hi there.
I have a master page that has many items on it.
I applied master page to 15 pages.
I want to override the same two items on each page. Is there a quick way of doing that?
Any help would be appreciated.

Rob: Problem is, that these items always end up under another frame.Can I Command-Shift-click if it is behind something else?
Use layers so you can hide or lock the top objects. if you are not using layers the stacking order will change when you release the MP item, which I assume you don't want.

Master Pages overrides are not visible

When I receive a document from a customer, there's no way you can tell if the customer changed/deleted any Master Page items on the document page.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a little plus sign next to a page icon in the Pages Panel? Just like Paragraph Style overrides f.e.
Maybe a JDI subject?

dear KN
see u have not uploaded master since long, or if u have loaded the master then it was a full upload.
let me know the characteristic for which u have not getting the text.
i suppose for ur problem here is a brief solution.
u pl go to the infosource and look for the corresponding infobject, here u should have the provision to upload attributes, hierarchy and text.
1. now go the transfer structure of the infobject and first select attribute datasource and activate the infosource.
2. load the data by initial upload and in infopackage-processing-only psa-tick on update sequentially in data targets-tick on ingore duplicate records.
3. init upload
4. start upload.
now create a separate infopackage for text and use text datasource in the transfer structure and repeate the steps 1 to 4.
u can repeate same procedure for the hierachy.
once successful upload takes place pl run the query and u will see the text is now available, if still problem persists, just let me know

How to Copy FrameMaker Master Pages to all files in a book?

Newbie question.
I've created a Master page template for a title page that I now want to apply to every file in my collection of books (~5 books, +30 files). How do I do this?
The page has a full page image and different margins.
I would try to brute force (manually recreate it in every file) but it is nearly a fluke that I managed to get it right to begin with.
I see there is a way to import reference pages--what about master pages?
Thanks!
Katherine

Katherine, are you wanting to import just a single master page (e.g. one called "Title"), but not the Left/Right default pages, to all the other docs?
that's difficult to do in FM's dialogs because (as you may have found already) you can't choose specific master page(s) to import, it's an all-or-nothing import.
Also, it helps us if you specify what version of FM, including the "pxxx" numbers as shown in Help > About, that always helps folks answer more precisely if there are variations among versions.

Exclude Master Pages From RH8 Search

Is there a way to exclude master pages from RH8 searches? There is no option in the Master Page properties as with topics.
What I did: I created a Master Page to add a "Download PDF version" link to the PDF version of the Help, in the same way that RJ Jacquez did in his "Web 2.0 Documentation using Adobe AIR and RoboHelp 8 OnDemand Recording" tutorial. The difference is that Jacquez's sample used an image as the link, while I used text.
Problem: "Download PDF version" is prepended to all search results (in the context line).
The obvious workaround is to replace the text with an image representation instead. But I thought I would ask the question about master pages and searches anyway.

Hi Jason
I think you misunderstood me. Note that Master Pages may be used in different ways.
They may be used as a starting off point for a topic. You create the topic, and much like a Word template, the Master Page partially builds the topic by having certain elements already in place. From there forward, you customize the topic to your needs. Subsequent changes to the Master Page have zero effect on any topics created from them.
They may also be used to configure a Header and a Footer. You then associate the Master Page with the Header, Footer or both to several or all topics to give the associated topics the Header or Footer information from the Master Page. In this case, subsequent changes to the Header or Footer in the Master Page DO actually appear in all associated topics.
I was talking about the latter option. I wasn't suggesting you move things into the HTML Head area of the topic.
Cheers... Rick

How to attach an object back to its source in a master page?

Hello,
on a content page I can access objects from the assigned master page using the Ctrl+Shift+LeftClick combination. By doing so I detach many attributes of this object from the master page specifications. How to reset an object and attach it back to the source object of the master page?
If you are a PowerPoint user, the option reapply slide layout may be familiar to you (this function resets all format overrides to the master settings). I am looking for a similar function in InDesign.

I really looking for a way to change the position of the second and third text boxes relative to other items on the page.
An overriden master page item will still respond to its master's position if its position on the page after overriding hasn't been changed. So, you can have the "directions" box on the master page, override it, add text, and as long as you don't move its x, y position in the process of adding text, it can be moved via the master page in the future. The key is not to move it in the editing process.
Same goes for other attributes. If the fill color is red, you can change it to gray from its master later, as long as you don't change the page item's fill to pink in between.
It's also possible to match a changed page item's attributes to its master via scripting.
So for example if you had a 3" text box on the master and there was 100 pages with the text box, and in the editing process 50 had their width changed to varying widths and later you decided you needed a 4"width— a simple script could loop through all the pages and reset the changed widths to match the master's new 4" width.

Apply multiple master pages to multiple layers

I have a document that has multiple layer and I need to apply a different master page to each layer.
Layers are as follows and in this order:
     USA Pricing
     No Pricing
     Euro Pricing
     Yen Pricing
     and so on.
I have a master page created for each versions layer. I lock all layers except the USA layer and apply the USA Pricing master to that layer it looks great.
So I lock that layer and unlock the next layer and apply the applicable master to that layer and so on but, even though the other layers are locked what ever master
I last applied is the one that sticks to all layers.
How do you get the master page to stick to each layer without using the Master page override to each layer and making it become part of the page?
If you do that and then you have a change to the Master page on a specific layer/version you have to edit every page and can not simply make a global change on the applicable master!!
Thank you in advance for any help that can be given.

Do you mean that only one master page can be applied per page and that it is automatically applied to all layers of that page?
"so it sounds like you need to create a new master page with the attributes you need for each layer included in one place."
I don't understand what you mean by this? I have created multiple master pages that have everything I need on them to be applied to each layer!
They just don't stick to the individual layer! Maybe it the "included in one place" part of your reply that will work but, I don't understand what you mean by that!

Keep master page stories from clear style overrides...

Hi everyone,
I am finding the stories in the document and applying clear style overrides through javascript. When i am doing this my master page story items are also get affected. Is there any option or way to skip those master page stories?
Please suggest and help me out.
Thanks in advance
Thiyagu

Hi Thiyagu,
you are asking for the structure of the DOM (document object model).
There are several charts of the hierarchical structure of the DOM, e.g. in tree view.
You may search for them with Google.
To find out, who's the parent of an object, you can check the name of the constructor of it's parent:
myObject.parent.constructor.name
You can also climb up the parents within a loop.
To catch the constructor of a selected object and it's parents, grandparents ... up to the 'primal father' APPLICATION in a loop you may try this short and simple code:
var myData = new Array;
if (app.selection.length > 0)
     var myObject = app.selection[0];
     myData.push(myObject.constructor.name);
     do
          myObject = myObject.parent;
          myData.push(myObject.constructor.name)
     } while (myObject.constructor.name != 'Application')
     alert('Genealogy\r' + myData.join('\r'));
But there are also parents like parentTextFrame or parentStory.
This special parents your would not find out with the simple code above.
To read more about this basic things about the structure of the document object model (and other basics) I want to recommend Peter Kahrel's Scripting InDesign CS3/4 with JavaScript to you.

About Me link is not visible in Welcome Menu if placed on custom location in Custom Master Page

Experts,
I am facing a problem in my -ongoing SP 2013 project's branding. The problem is with Welcome Menu. I need to put the welcome menu at a custom place rather than in ribbon area. for this I added welcome menu snippet inside my Master Page HTML but there is
a problem with it. On ribbon link "About Me" is visible while at the same time link "About me" is not visible on welcome menu which has been inserted on custom place. below images describe my problem more accurately.
I need help in this regard if some one can help me. For your information My User Profiles are properly configured and working.
HBkhan

Hi Haris,
I tested the same scenario in my environment, and the link will display My Settings link instead of About Me link when there is more than one welcome menu in the page.
If you want to put the welcome menu at a custom place rather than in ribbon area, I recommend you remove the welcome menu in the ribbon area(suitebar) after putting the other welcome menu at the custom place.
Thanks,
Victoria

Override/Hide Master Page Footer?

I am working on my work's SharePoint subsite. The site inherits its master formatting from the main site's master page, and I have no access to the master page whatsoever. If it matters, I also do not have access to SharePoint Designer.
The master page provides a footer with a "Contact Us" link, and if possible, I would like to hide this footer because the contact info for the subsite differs from that of the parent site. Is there a way to do this with CSS/content editor/etc.
without editing the master page? (There is no option to create a new master page, either).
Thank you!

Thanks again for the fast reply. Yes, I did replace "FooterTitle" however, since I'm still getting familiar with CSS, I could have put the wrong thing for the div title. These are the titles I'm working with:
<footer id="v5-footer" class="s4-notdlg" role="contentinfo">
<div id="footer-left" class="s4-socialdata-notif" > </div>
<div id="footer-middle"> </div>
<div id="footer-right" class="style1" > </div>
</footer>
I tried the footer ID as well as the 2 div IDs. The only time anything seems to happen is when I used the class "s4-notdlg" but then all elements from the master page are hidden rather than just the footer. The “Contact Us” info is listed within the footer-middle
div. This is what I have been putting (and changing it around to see if any of the IDs might work):
<style type="text/css">
.footer-middle
visibility:hidden
</style>

Custom Master Page Issue in Intranet

Hi All,
I hope someone can assist with this, we implemented this particular SharePoint 2007 portal approximately 5 years ago. An outside consultant created this custom master page, for some reason out of nowhere we are experiencing this bizarre issue with
the master page and checking in and out documents. I have attached an image showing the error message being displayed below(couldn't attach until my account was verified but it states 'Error invalid viewstate, port 52208, user agent Mozilla/4.0..., viewstate,
referrer, path). I came across one source on the web that stated something about the search box code and it causing issues out of nowhere on the master page. So in my dev environment I made the change and removed the following code from the master
page below.
<td style="padding-top:8px;" valign=top>
            <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderSearchArea" runat="server">
            <SharePoint:DelegateControl runat="server" ControlId="SmallSearchInputBox"/>
            </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</td>
As soon as this code is removed and the page is published again everything begins to work again, the problem is I can't remove search from this intranet portal as it is heavily used. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

By any chance, do you still have access to the solution package in which the master page was contained? Normally, you would see another .ascx user control overriding the delegate search control in there. I'm almost positive that this custom control is
what causing this issue.

Include Master Page Items in Table of Contents

I am building a table of contents in InDesign CS3. I've got paragraph style applied to my section heading and well as section subheadings. However, my sections headings are located on Master Pages (as they are repeating on several pages), and my section subheadings are located directly on the pages themselves (as they do not repeat).
When I set up my table of contents only my section subheadings show up, not both. When I go to a page with a section heading and override the master page item and then update my table of contents my section header shows up. Is there any way to include my secion headers without overriding the master page items?
-Carina

I found this article about using Power Headers to override master frames that addresses the table of contents issue: http://in-tools.com/article/power-headers/power-headers-overrides-master-frames/
Hope this helps!

Help! CS4 overridden master page text keeps coming back...

I work in historic preservation at an architecture firm and I've created a template in indesign, using CS4, for reports that we have to write. There are a lot of master pages set up for different text layouts, plus there are about 10 different picture layout pages. On each page, where there will be text for the report I inserted filler text so that people use the right paragraph styles so that the table of contents will work correctly and to make sure everything is consistent. The document started out as single pages but then I switched it to facing because that's what was asked for. When I switched it, for some reason one of the pages in the middle of the document is set up as only a single page. I tried to move the pages around, but it won't fix the problem. So i tried to add a page after it, and that worked. However, it caused a new problem. I had already gone through and overriden the filler text that came through the master page and put the report in, but when i added the new page, it brought back all of the filler text as a new master underneath the report text. So I have to go through and override all of the filler text again and delete it. It did this to me one other time, and if people are using this template in the future, I don't want it to mess up for someone that isn't that comfortable with indesign in the first place. So I guess my question is if anyone knows why it keeps bringing back the overridden master text and also if there is an easier way to make that single page in the middle of a facing document into a facing page. Thanks for any input.

It brings back the master items because you are shifting from left to right pages, or vice versa, and ID must re-assert the master items when you do that. This is a known behavior (and one reason for not using placeholders that get overridden). If this is a template, must those items actually be on the master page, or can they be in the correct positions on the document pages?
Harbs is working on a plugin that will keep this from happening, but it isn't quite ready. He might be willing to let you test it though. He's at intools.com.

Synchronizing Master Pages in Book

I seem to have hit a Catch-22 and I'm hoping somebody can help.
I'm working on a book consisting of 25 chapters. Currently it's all in one file and that's becoming pretty unwieldy. So I'm breaking it up into separate files and using the book features in ID.
Every chapter starts the same way -- the first page has a big header with the chapter name. Text starts about halfway down the page. All other pages have folios with chapter names and page numbers, etc. And all the text is threaded together into a single flow.
So I've created two master spreads, one for the first page and the other for the other pages. I use those masters to create pages and then thread them together. I put together all the chapters this way, and added the chapter names, but didn't add text. And then I realized that the text box on the first page starts at the wrong place. I want it to start a bit higher on the page -- making the box bigger vertically. So I change the master page in the style source and I synchronize.
And that doesn't work. Now I have two text boxes on each starting page -- one with the old height and one with the new one.
According to the docs, if a master item has been overridden, and then when you synchronize, the item becomes detached. So I guess my question is: how do I add text to a text box, or thread it, without overriding it?
Or, more specifically -- how do I change the size of a text box on every starting page of every chapter?
Thanks very much to anybody who can offer any illumination on this one!
Steve Cohen

Jeez -- now I feel like I'm going nuts. Thought I had it figured out. So I went and created some chapters. And bang, I'm right back where I was. So now I'm checking every bloody keystroke.
Say I have two chapters: 1 & 2. Chapter 1 is the style source.
I command-option click on the frame on the first page in chapt 1, so it's overridden. I do nothing to chapter 2 (the same frame is not overridden)
Then I change the master page in chapt 1, making it shorter.
So far so good. The change propagates when I synch.
But if I just cmd-opt click in the same frame in chapt 2 -- so both frames are overridden -- bang, when I synch, the frame is detached in chapt 2.
No threading required. Just overriding the frame in both the style source and the same frame in the other chapter.
