Automatically insert new master pages

I'm trying to insert new master pages automatically in indesign cs5.5. I have a two page side by side masters. Anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks I have that selected. All that happens is red + to link to another page. I then have to manually drag more masters and link by hand again. Am I missing something here? This is just the same as old version.
I've found Smart Text Reflow useful for working like a word-processor, but it's tricky to set it up right and to stay alert to not inadvertantly changing settings that can create confusing behavior. Once you establish a stable workflow for your needs, it will repay the learning effort.

Creating a new Master Page for new SharePoint 365 Environment

Hello,
If you create a new Master Page for your 365 site collection should all the Promoted Links, List Headings, etc. (standard items that are in the OOO SP Master Page) still remain the 'Blue SP Color' or are you able to change these items in the Master
Page as well? If someone needs additional information on my question please let me know.
Thank you in advance!

Created a New Master Page

I have created a new Master Page for my Sharepoint Online site and the design works great, Except when I try to add a new app.
When I go to Site Contents > Add an app and do a search for eg a list it comes up blank, but when I do back to default master page they all appear perfectly. Is there something that I need to put into the new Master Page to allow for these Apps to appear?
I followed this guide to create the Master Page
http://www.microsofttechnology.net/2013/09/branding-sharepoint-2013-online-custom_19.html
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Yes Since you have changed the master page those options would not be available. If you try this on a different site collection where you haven't set the master page it would work perfectly fine. Even if you have set a master page on a site and you create
a sub site under that site collection then it wont be available to you because it comes with the default master page templates. The only way to achieve this is by resetting the default master page( or selecting the other template available
in change the look of website option) or by hiring a SharePoint developer who can create a similar site content page and options of lists and libraries for you or inherit it from the master page code.
If you find this information helpful then please propose this as an answer and vote.
Thanks.

Script to insert new master on every other page

I've got an indesign document with 131 pages (front side of postcards). I need to add the back side of the postcard (Master) to every other page. I don't want to manually do this due to the time and that I will need to do this again and again. Does anyone have a script that will allow for an insertion of even blank pages on the even number pages and then I can apply the master page to all blank pages? Anything will help. Thank you!!

Just found that the script on this forum http://forums.adobe.com/message/3223771#3223771#3223771 does it perfectly.

Changing the chapter title automatically on a master page

hi,<br />I'm hoping someone can help. I've just received an Indesign file from a colleague which has an automatic feature which pulls the chapter heading from the document and places in on the right hand side. the master page has this written on it <chapter heading on right><br /><br />In the past, I would have created a master page for each new chapter if I wanted to have the chapter title on the right, but this seems to be a far superior way of doing things.<br /><br />How do I go about doing it? I can't find the function anywhere on InDesign.<br />thanks,<br />Jean

InDesign CS5 shuts down when inserting left master page.

InDesign CS5 is shutting down whenever I attempt to insert a page from a master. I am attempting to insert a verso page before a spread. Normally it would bump the current verso to recto and the recto down to the next spread. (I need to add many blank versos in a document that has facing pages.) I have the latest update (7.0.3), and have read all previous posts on similar issues. Have tried several fixes (including deleting columns on the master pages which I have done, to no avail.) and am about ready to save all of my files back down to CS4 just so I can get the work done. Is there a remedy to this bug yet? I was hoping that 7.0.3 fixed it, (and the random elements that appear from master pages on documents that have been converted from CS4), but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Is anyone else having this trouble? Adobe? are you working on this problem? Thanks for any help.

We're seeing more reports of trouble with leagcy files in CS5 than any previous version. I'm now advocating that files you intend to convert should be exported to .inx or .idml from the original version, then open that instead of the .indd in CS5.
And if this pops up again with a file that you can't get to work with a simple export to .idml for CS5, try opening that in CS4 and re-export to .inx, then move that back to CS5. you never know.

Possible to have a Master Page-B layout automatically follow a Master Page-A layout?

I'm trying to do with master pages what you can do with paragraph styles. The first page of a report section (Master Page-A) looks slightly different from the rest of the pages in the section (Master Page B). Master Page B will always follow Master Page A...can I get InDesign to this automatically? We can do it with paragraph styles, but I can't figure out how to do this with master pages.

You can base one Master Page on another, as you can with styles, but there is no "Next Master" attribute that can be applied in the page setup. You might be able to script it, though.

Insert new Master Data Record for an InfoObject using a Function Module

Hi @ all,
is there any Function Module for creating a new master data record for an InfoObject? Implementing a FM for inserting a master data record into a master data table is done quickly. I think there will be problems with inconsistency implementing a FM using a simple "Insert" Statement. Isn´t it?
I know it is possible to maintain an InfoObject in RSA1 (Master data IO> right click>Maintain Master data>execute(F8)> ...) but I have another requirement for using a FM.
Thanks!

Johannes

Master Page Bugs? Won't Update Changes or Apply New Page Correctly.

I've been working with master pages for our new project templates and have found what appears to be several big problems:
1. When I make changes in the Master Page (.htt file), none of those changes propogate to the topics that have been assigned this same Master Page. Shouldn't it do this?
2. As an alternative, I tried applying a Master Page to multiple topics in the Topic List pod. The first problem with that is that you cannot apply the existing Master Page. So, I had to create a fresh Master Page with my changes, then tried applying it. However, several problems occur. Firstly, none of the new Master Page formatting appears correctly. Secondly, for some reason it is duplicating breadcrumbs at the top of the page (each of the Master Pages, before and after only had one breadcrumb). It seems to have combined some of the formatting from both before and after Master pages.
I should also note that when I apply the Master Page with any changes to a new topic, it does work correctly.
I have read the documentation thoroughly and feel I am doing this correctly. The problem seems to be that the functionality doesn't work as promised. I see this as a grave problem. Our templates are likely to change with time, and I need the ability to apply changes en masse.
Does anyone know what might be the problem?

Hi there
First, you must understand that Master Pages are used in two completely different ways. Sounds like you are making changes to the Body Placeholder of the Master Page and expecting to see those changes influence the topics linked. Sorry, but that has never worked.
So here are the two ways Master Pages are designed to work in RoboHelp.
Method 1 - Used to infuence EXISTING content.
Perhaps you have created 1,000 topics and you now wish to add a Header, Footer or both to these existing topics. You define a Master Page and add a Header, Footer or both to the Master Page and You associate it with the topics. All those topics now have a Header and/or Footer. Any changes to the Header and/or Footer are populated across all linked topics.
Method 2 - Used to influence NEW content you create.
Perhaps you know that you will be creating many topics that should have the same look and feel. Maybe each of them begin with a table containing an image and some text. So you define a Master Page and configure the Body placeholder as you wish to see it. When you create new topics, you point to the Master Page so that as the topics are created, the Body content of the Master Page is populated into the topic as a starting off point. Once the topic has been initially created, changes to the Master Page ARE NOT reflected in the topics. This works identically to making a copy of a document. The copy looks identical to the original. And any changes to the original will never be copied over to the copy. Only NEW copies will receive the changes.
As far as the Breadcrumbs go, you likely have GLOBAL Breadcrumbs enabled in the Single Source Layout recipe. This means that every topic gets Breadcrumbs during the process of creating the output. If you are trying to employ SELECTIVE Breadcrumbs by adding the PlaceHolder to the Master Page, you need to disable the GLOBAL Breadcrumbs in order to prevent seeing double.
Hope this helps a bit... Rick

Add Right Side Column and Web Parts to custom Master page in SharePoint Online

Hello everyone,
I hope this is a simple question, however I was fighting the issue it presents for a while. I am in the process of customizing SharePoint Online Look-and-feel with a new layout.
The site collection was created as a
Team Site before I got involved with the project, and populated with numerous sub-sites and pages. I activated required
publishing features, created html with corresponding styles and graphics, and used the Design Manager to convert the html file to the custom Master page. While SharePoint automatically assigned “ContentPlaceHolderMain” div area, I
also used default Oslo page as example to copy sections of the code for dynamic components (left column and navigation, recent items, the ribbon, etc.) from it and placed them in my new master page, pointed all CSS references to
my custom style sheets, etc. Everything works great, however I need to make one last addition -
my task is to make changes to display web parts such as Calendar and Recent Documents in the right column in the Master page.
My custom layout has a header, footer, main pan and two side columns. Most of the default master templates come with the LEFT column already embedded and populated with several placeholder
to serve dynamic content (PlaceHolderLeftNavBarTop, PlaceHolderQuickLaunchTop, PlaceHolderLeftNavBarDataSource, PlaceHolderLeftActions, so on).
My challenge is that I have the RIGHT side column as well, for which I don’t think the default placeholder exists. I need to add a small Calendar box and Recent Documents parts to it, so they
display across the entire site governed by this master page.
The issue is –
even after activating Publishing features (enabled SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure under Site Collection Level, and SharePoint Server Publishing under the Site
Level), there is no Snippet feature (usually available under the generic Publishing Site); this customization of the Team Site allows using Designer and apply custom templates, themes, so on, just like you would under the Publishing collection, but not the
Snippet utility I could use as the solution to embed the web parts on the master page.
Recreating the entire site under Publishing Collection is not an option due to the directions I was given, I am to use this existing one, and need to see if
there is a workaround to either activate the Snippet feature or use another solution to display the web parts inside of the column in the Master page.
If the only solution is to use Web Part Zone, what are the steps to add it AND populate it with the abovementioned apps?
Can anyone suggest how to create a workaround and add this feature? The environment is role-based so both elements need to be dynamically rendered based on the user’s role and activities.
I am more of a front end designer than developer, so if any custom coding and set up required, please kindly provide some basic steps, if possible?..
I greatly appreciate any help and suggestions!
Thank You!
Jeff

Updating your Master Page to also include a right rail should be sraight forward enough with a new div or divs in your master page and then the proper styles to make room for this column as well as position the column.
I have not seen why you cannot find the snippet gallery link when previewing a HTML Master Page in the browser. Have you tried loading the snippet gallery by its url? As an example, for my tenant on SPO, I can load the Snippet Gallery for the olso.master
with the following url:
https://pixelmill.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/ComponentConfigureControls.aspx?ComponentName=TopNavigationNoFlyoutWithStartNode&Url=%2F_catalogs%2Fmasterpage%2Foslo.master
Change the domain to match yours as well as update the "Url" querystring var to point to your master page. See if that loads the snippet gallery.

Replace vertical navigation in custom master page from snippet gallery

Hi.
I'm creating a new master page from seattle.master and I'm trying to implement a customized snippet from the snippet gallery into the master page code without success. The following line is straight from a seattle.master page:
<div id="sideNavBox" class="ms-dialogHidden ms-forceWrap ms-noList">
From here, I see where I think the replacement snippet should go; however, there are discrepancies between the structure of the snippet and the code I'm replacing. Also, the snippet from the gallery is calling some ASP registrations that I
don't see in the original master page code.
How can I insert my custom vertical navigation snippet into this master page?

Hi,
You want to replace the entire <div id="sideNavBox" /> found in your custom HTML Master Page. Your custom vertical navigation will need to replace the entire container and all of its child controls.
Your custom vertical navigation snippet should start similar to:
<div data-name="QuickLaunch">



<div id="sideNavBox" class="ms-dialogHidden ms-forceWrap ms-noList">
Design Manager's snippet manager adds the Register tags into the snippet so that the snippet is self-contained. Your HTML Master Page likely contains these Register tags already but you can leave them as Design Manager will handle any duplicates for you.
The structure of the snippet itself appears different because the seattle.html HTML Master Page includes modifications.

Reusing Master Pages

Hi to all,
I'm a very new user of ID CS5, and I would like to know if there is a way to create a library of master pages so I can choose what I would in my document and import them. I know I can save an empty project with only master pages but this isn't fast way if I would to send a new master page model to my writers and then add it to already writing documents...
Sorry for my bad English.
Thanks for replies !

Thanks I know this way to do,
but if I need to send to my far writer 2 or 3 new mater pages to add in already existing document (this is the actual case) there is a straight way ?
The writer isn't able to create master by itself. At this moment It sends me entire document so I can manually insert new masters but I would like to have a way to send it a file and it only click "Import new masters"...

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!
