Bring Composition widget to the base of footer on a master page?

I'm having difficulties getting the composition widget to meet flush with the bottom of the footer on a master page. I have the footer check box ticked for the widget and all looks okay in the design window. But once I publish or preview the site the composition is pushed above the other elements on the footer.
< design window
< preview window
Can anyone shed some light on why Muse is doing this and any way to possibly fix it so the composition sits evenly at the base of the page?
Thanks for your help!

Hi
Please group the objects you are using as footer and then check footer from control strip.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Got an Error Message using the Featured News Composition Widget regarding the locations are too large to rasterize. Cannot Preview page.

I keep getting an Error Message when Previewing a page that has the Feature News Composition Widget. The Message says that the locations are too large to Rasterize and I need to make it smaller in size. I tried all of this burt nothing worked.

Hi Zak,
Many thanks for your 'correct' and prompt answer. I tried to make it CORRECT on the Forum, but after clicking the link, did not know where to go since this is my first time using this forum.
As it turned out, I was indeed using the font (Georgia) but did not realize that this particular font can also be used as a System font as well. So I chose the wrong Georgia font which was the System font. I corrected this issue throughout and made doubly sure that I used the Web Font Georgia.
Many thanks again for your help and assistance.

Need to remove the header and footer regions on one page

Hi,
I have a requirement to remove the header and footer regions on one page only. The regions I'm referring to contain the following:
Header:
Company logo, Home link, Logout link, Preferences link
Footer:
Copyright info, Privacy Statement, Home link, Logout link, Preferences link
These are the standard Oracle header and footer regions/page items, so I am not specifying a particular page name, although it would be the create time cards page we want to modify.
Also, we only want to remove these regions/items from ONE page, not an entire responsibility.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Suzanne

Hi,
In order to hide,
Home link, Logout link, Preferences link
Use this code in the processrequest of the controller on the page on which you want tohide these
OAPageLayoutBean page = pageContext.getPageLayoutBean();
page.prepareForRendering(pageContext);
page.setGlobalButtons((oracle.cabo.ui.UINode)null);
And for hiding the Copyright info, Privacy Statement:
Click on Personalise page link
then Click on Choose Context
Choose "OAFooter" as Scope
and click "Apply"
and then Personalise the Copyright and Privay Statememnt icon and set rendered as False.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Menu Widget is not working correctly when applied in Master Page?

Hi There,
Is there a reason why menu widget doesn't work correctly when put in the master page? When I do preview it only highlights certain menu and doesn't highlight other ones? In order to fix this I had to take my menu widget off the master page and had to manually apply the menu widget on each page for it to work correctly? Is there a reason why this is happening and are you guys working on fixing this?
Best Regards,
Nick

Hi There,
Just published the northcountydoulas website through business catalyst that
wasn't working correctly...The menu widget is in the master page...

Changing the chapter title automatically on a master page

hi, 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> 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. How do I go about doing it? I can't find the function anywhere on InDesign. thanks, Jean

Can I have 2 Muse Composition widgets using the same triggers?

I have a page with 2 compositions. One fades in some images and the other rolls in some text from off the screen. Each has 3 triggers. I want them to be linked by the same trigger. At the minute, to see the image with the corresponding text I have to select the trigger for each one. Its quite annoying. Is there an easy fix for this that I am missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi
We cannot use same trigger for different targets as they would overlap each other and only the one on top will be active.
By looking at the purpose , I would suggest you to insert image and text in same container so that rollover action should show up the image and text at same time.
Thanks,
Sanjit

How can I change the order of thumbnails so it affects the order in the lightbox when using the composition widget - lightbox display?

Hi, I'm making my portfolio in Muse, and I'm using the composition widget - lightbox display. I imported all the images and then I wanted to reorganize the thumbnails - and when I do that, the order in the lightbox doesn't change and so it's not the same as the order of the thumbnails (after rearranging them). Please let me know if there is a way to fix this quickly, or do I have to do it all one more time

The order the items display in a composition widget is the front to back order of the items. You can rearrange the stacking order of the thumbnails/triggers using the Layers panel and/or the Object > Bring To Front, Send To Back, etc. menu items to adjust the order they're displayed during auto play or when clicking the next/previous buttons.

Issue with Anchor Links in Composition Widget

Hoping for some help regarding anchor links. I was successful in nesting a Slideshow widget within a Composition widget. The Composition widget contains six panels, each of which contains one Slideshow. Thankfully, that all works as it’s supposed to.
What I want is to direct users (from another page on my site) to a specific Slideshow within the Composition widget (i.e., for example, to the slideshow on the third panel of the Composition). The anchor link does work in that it directs users to the page with the Slideshow/Composition combo. However, it displays the first panel in the Composition and not the third. I’ve tried inserting the anchor link on top of the actual picture in the Slideshow, and also within one of its text labels. Still the same result.
My question … can an anchor link be used to direct someone to a specific panel within the Composition widget? Perhaps I can export my site to HTML, open the .html file in Dreamweaver and … I don’t know, move or rename the anchor somehow? Is anyone else having this issue?

This is a bit late in the day looking at the date of your post, but I asked the same question recently and Brad Lawryk answered (thanks Brad - saved me hours of fiddling!):
Unfortunately the only way to do this now would be to save a copy of the page with the desired tab focused. Unfortunately this does cause duplicate content and is not SEO friendly though.

Composition widget for a church bulletin

i am trying to make a bulletin page for a church website that needs to be updated each week with new information, I used th composition widget for the first one and it worked fine, but when I tried copying it and changing the info it wouldn't work properly. I want to somehow save the format, or the composition itself and just update each week. Is there a way to do that? Is there a way to make a Master page with the widget that is updatable?

Hi Stephanie,
If you are working on a page and testing few things on it and do not want to include that page in the exported output, then you can do so by right clicking that page in Plan view and uncheck Export.

I want to print an entire URL in the footer of a print page. How can I do this?

I want the complete URL of a webpage to be printed in the footer section of the printout. When I have the URL printed in the far left footer section it gets cutoff by the center footer section which is cut off by the far right footer section.

Firefox cuts off the URL in your printout, if it's really long, and you also have on the same line (header or footer), the Date and Pages
What I have summarized below is based on this page . . . http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-change-or-customize-firefox-printing-defaults.html
I have two questions:
To fix, do a custom setting, for the Header and Footer as follows:
Print / Page Setup / Margins & Header/Footer / "Customize" the "Left" as follows (leave Center and Right all blank)
&T
&U . . . . . . . &D . . . . . . . &PT
&D shows the Short date as: M/d/yyyy - and then the time
To change the format of the Short date in Win 8.1, go to:
Control Panel / Date and Time / Date and Time tab / Change date and time / Change calendar settings /
Date / Short date . . . change from M/d/yyyy . . . to . . . MM/dd/yy
QUESTIONS:
1.) How do you get rid of the time, which appears after the date? In IE, you use a lowercase "d" - but that doesn't work here.
2.) Is there a way to change the font just for the Header and Footer, to something like Microsoft Sans Serif 10?
Firefox leaves no room around the text in the Header and Footer at the edge. To fix:
Address Bar / about:config
Enter keyword "edge"
Then change all four values for the printer you're using to:
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_bottom . . . 5
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_left . . . 10
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_right . . . 10
print.printer_Foxit_PhantomPDF_Printer.print_edge_top . . . 5

Items are not flowing into the second master page.

Hello,
any help on this is really appreciated. this is the situation. There are two master pages. I have created a flow content subform. And within this, i have created a position content subform. Within this, i have the different fields of an item level table. There are a total of 14 records. three pages are used. And all the three are the first master page. The second master page is not being used. I have tried many ways, but could not suceed. Could any one out there suggest a way to solve this problem?

Hello,
I'm facing a problem here. Within my print form I have one master page.
Basically I have a dynamic table which must be followed by a standard text.
So I've created a subform (flow content), in it I have another subform (flow content, table): in it one subform (flow content, table row) and a subform (position content with my text).
Although all the 'allow page breaks' are checked, the issue I have is that the second page is never printed...

Everytime I copy pages from one ID CS3 doc to another, it re-applies the master page objects!!

Please Help,
This is a topic I would really like to get to the bottom of.
We have InDesign CS3 templates for creating our reports.
These templates contain around 10 different master pages with grey placeholder image boxes and text boxes with dummy text.
When we copy pages from one ID document to another, all the master page objects that were originally assigned to the pages are re-applied!!
Resulting in lots of grey dummy boxes and text boxes re-appearing on top of the page items!!
It's so annoying because we always customise the pages once we've pulled down master pages to work on, so when we copy pages across to other documents we have to apply the blank master to be able to kick out all the master objects easily. Then we need to add the page numbers and footers back onto the blank master page.
My question is, is there a way to switch this off, so when I move or copy pages from one document to another, nothing happens relating to master page objects, the pages simply just copy across as they are?
Please help! If not I may have to ask an external developer to write a script to fix this, it drives 900 of us crazy!
thanks in advance for any help.
Or am I just being ridiculous and not actually realising you can switch this off, doh!

Just a bit of further clarification on this issue (very few people really understand what's going on with master pages and overridden master page items):
When you override a master page item, the object is moved to a local page, but a connection is maintained with the original master page item. This a) allows for the override to be removed (and return the object to its original state). This also, b) allows for changes made to the original master page item (other than the changes made to the local item from the point that it was overridden) to effect the local item as well.
When the connection to the master page item cannot be maintained, the local item gets disconnected totally from the master page, and becomes a regular, run-of-the-mill page item.
In light of this, there's three ways you can end up with duplicate master items:
Reapplying a master page (or applying a new one). When you reapply a master, all overridden master page items get detached from the master, and the original mster page item appears again in its original state. Most of the time this produces unwanted duplication of objects. To fix up your page, you have two options: a) Delete the master page item, and b) copying the contents of the original to the new master page item. The disadvantage of "a" is that you end up with an item which is totally detached from the master, and changing the item on the master will have no effect on the local item. The disadavantage of "b" is that it's a lot of work...
Moving a page to a different document. When you move a page to a different document which has the same master as the one originally applied, the master in the new doc is applied, and the effects are identical to reapplying a master page (i.e. overridden objects are detached). If the applied master (i.e. a master with the same name) does not exist in the new doc, the master is transferred over to the new doc along with the page, and the connections to the master page are preserved (well, re-created actually...). The workarounds in case #1 apply here as well.
When page sides change in a document, the objects on the facing page appears.
What happens here is a bit confusing, but here's an approximate explanation:
When you apply a master to a page or spread in InDesign, what you are actually doing is applying an entire spread to an individual page. You can thing of a master spread as an overlay (or more precisely: underlay) on the page with a window cut out to the exact page dimensions.
When the page side changes that "window cut-out" shifts to show the master spread items which correspond to the position within the spread of your current page (i.e. recto or verso). All objects which exist outside the window shift out of view (but still exist!).
When an object is overridden, the position of the object is defined by its location on the local page, NOT its position on the master spread. When the page then changes sides, the object remains where it was on the page (even though the object it's connected to on the master spread moves out of the window of view). A corresponding object on the facing page of the master (if it exists) will then show in addition to the overridden one.
Now remember: contrary to the first two cases, both objects are based on master ones: one visible one and one invisible one.
Dealing with this third case requires much more care than the first two.
The obvious way to deal with this would be similar to the first two, but if you remove the local object and transfer the content to the new maste object, the invisible master object on the non-visible page was actually removed, so when the page sides change again, the object will now be connected to the now-invisible master page item, and the correct master page item will be gone!
The "correct" way to deal with this would be to transfer the content to the new master page item and remove overrides (not delete!) on the local item (which will make it disappear, because it moves back to the invisible page). Of course, when page sides change again, it becomes necessary to repeat the entire process.
If the local object gets deleted, then your master spread is missing objects with no visible indicator of the fact. This can lead to confusion when the document might be edited at some later point in time.
I believe that this complicated and un-intuitive behavior of master pages is part of the reason people tend to avoid using master page items. Documents tend to get messed up in really odd ways... It's a real shame, because extensive use of master page items has a lot of potential for streamlining workflows and saving an awful lot of time. This behavior really puts a damper on really using master pages as templates.
Getting master page items to work the way they "should" was a big part of what I was trying to accomplish with AutoFlow Pro... When the master page items are defined as such (i.e. given a unique name), AutoFlow Pro solves all three of the above issues by keeping overridden master page items connected to the master page items on the currently applied master (and when a new master is applied as well!).
(When I have a bit of spare time, I think I'll write this up on my blog with some visuals to make this easier to grasp...)

How do I 'assign a higher layer to the object on the master' (page numbers on master) I understand the layer needs to be at the top to show above placed images on pages but how do I do this?

I've added the page numbers to my master pages. They are displaying on the pages but I have images on the individual pages that are covering the numbers. I understand I need to assign a higher layer to the object but I don't understand how to do that. Please help me? Please explain a simply clearly as possible, I've read other answers but still don't understand. Wish it was as simple as select object, right click, edit layer!
Many thanks!

Layers panel;
Create new layer
Switch to Master page
Make sure new layer is on top in the Layers panel, if not drag the layer on top in the Layers panel.
Select (click once on) that top layer (pen symbol appears behind that layer in the Layer panel)
Now draw your page numbers etc on the Mastet page
From now on, select (click once on) any Layer in the Layers panel that is below the layer you used on your Master page items and create new objects in your document pages.
If you accidently created objects on a 'wrong' layer:
Select those objects
You will see a square behind the layers name in the Layers panel
Click and hold the mouse on that square and drag it behind the name of the layer you want to move the objects to.

Right master page oversets to the left master page

Hi all,
I am currently working on a book. But I ran into an problem that I am not able to fix. So I was hoping you guys could help me out with this.
So this is the situation:
I have an "A-Master" page. On this master page I gave the right page a design element. (the blue bar)
In the Indesign preview nothing seems wrong. The left and right page looks exactly like the "A-Master" page.
Then, when I export the .pdf for testing. I see that the right page oversets to the left page. (see image below)
Does anyone know what the problem is here?
Many thanks,
Marco

It doesn't look like a problem. Your document is bleeding on the inside and outside. That bleed is stopping short of the crop line. You could go into your document bleed settings and set the inside bleed to none, but I don't think it's a problem...

Add a left column to the master page

Good day.
I am working on removing the Quick launch column from my master page and inserting in its place a column where i could put my own html with links, images, comments etc, basically a tall and narrow page on the left side of the master page.
I successfully removed the Quick launch bar (by display:none). But when i try to carve out a space for my own left column, using div or table, it gets ugly - when the IE opens any page in the site the contents of the page is displayed below - not alongside
and to the right - of my column.
Do you know how to create that custom left column on a master page?
Regards
Kamil
