Change master pages on a button?

Hi guys, I want to know how to be able to keep the same page, but press a button which changes the master.
The goal is to have a menu bar (as a header) that changes to an expanded menu (a different master) Is that possible?

           Hi DEV ,
           Well , it's little tricky but pretty much doable , on click of a button ( DAY CLOSURE as per your requirement ) do the following
         1) get the current date (sysdate ) and save it in a custom table .
          2 ) save the above sysdate in a formvalue ( itemstyle )
          3) Next time when the page renders , again get the sysdate and value which is being saved in the formvalue
          4 ) compare the two values , if those two dates are equal then hide webbeans programatically in processRequest of your controller
                and display a message to the user highlighting page can't display any information for today .
          5) Hiding webbean will actually appears page to be inaccessible .
        Note : It's very difficult to make the page inaccessible , the above given solution would pretty much meet your requirement .
             Let me know if you need any further input .
             Regards ,

Change Master Page based on Text Content

Hello,
I have found a few examples relating to changing Master pages based on Style.
However, I would like to change all Pages that flag "True" with the query of the "2-1134" to to "Master-C" for example.
I have 12 master Pages with different strings that I don't mind editing the script to make work.
The document is close to 1,000 pages.
I am having trouble merging so many different scripts into something that will work.
Platform: Indesign CS4 6.0.5 - OS X (Intel)
Thank you so much for your input, help and guidence.

This is what layers are for. Open the Layers panel and make at least one more layer. Put the graphic on the lower layer and the footer on the upper layer.

Change master page

I'm using indesign CS3 with javascript.
I have a document with 11 chapters, every chapter has the same Master-page.
Every chapter has 1,2, ..pages, the master page for the content in the chapter is not the same as the chapter Master-page.
Every content from a chapter has a different master page, than the content from an other chapter.
this means that i have 12 master-pages
example:
Chapter 1:           master-page A
     content1:       master-pageB
Chapter2:           master-page A
     content2:       master-page C
Every title from the chapter and content will be placed into a running header with a specifiek paragraph style.
At the moment i have a little javascript, this script checks on every page for the paragraph style from a chapter.
and the "master-page A" will bee placed on the right page.
how can i extend my script for the content master-pages?
Is it possible that i can retrieve the text from the running header from the chapters?
greetz,
kim

You can update the master page programmatically based on the variables you have
SPSite site new SPSite("http://Foo");
SPWeb web=site.OpenWeb();
rootWeb.CustomMasterUrl = rootWeb.ServerRelativeUrl + "/_catalogs/masterpage/blueband.master";
rootWeb.update();

Change Master page of a site using ECMA Script in sharepoint 2010

Hi All,
I'm working on SharePoint 2010.
I have a requirement where in I need to create a site and apply a particular master page to the newly created site using
ECMA Script.
The site gets created but while applying the master page it gives me an error stating the method 'set_masterUrl' is not defined.
Here is my code:
$(document).ready(function () {
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(createSite, "sp.js"); //This is used to ensure until sp.js is loaded, createSite will not be executed.
function createSite() {
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var collWeb = context.get_web().get_webs();
var webCreationInfo = new SP.WebCreationInformation();
webCreationInfo.set_title('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_description('Description of new Web site...');
webCreationInfo.set_language(1033);
webCreationInfo.set_webTemplate('STS#0');
webCreationInfo.set_url('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_useSamePermissionsAsParentSite(false);
var oNewWebsite = collWeb.add(webCreationInfo);
context.load(oNewWebsite);
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess, onfail);
function Onsuccess() {
dummy(context, oNewWebsite);
function onfail(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
function dummy(context,oNewWebsite)
var strMasterPageUrl = '/_catalogs/masterpage/Test.master';
oNewWebsite.set_masterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.set_customMasterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.update();
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess1, onfail1);
function Onsuccess1() {
alert("Done");
function onfail1(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
Please help.
Thanks,
Sachin

The issue is coming because the scope of context and oNewWebsite is not available in your success method. Try to modify the code as below and see if that helps.
$(document).ready(function () {
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(createSite, "sp.js"); //This is used to ensure until sp.js is loaded, createSite will not be executed.
var context = null;
var oNewWebsite = null;
function createSite() {
context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var collWeb = context.get_web().get_webs();
var webCreationInfo = new SP.WebCreationInformation();
webCreationInfo.set_title('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_description('Description of new Web site...');
webCreationInfo.set_language(1033);
webCreationInfo.set_webTemplate('STS#0');
webCreationInfo.set_url('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_useSamePermissionsAsParentSite(false);
oNewWebsite = collWeb.add(webCreationInfo);
context.load(oNewWebsite);
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess, onfail);
function Onsuccess() {
dummy(context, oNewWebsite);
function onfail(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
function dummy(context,oNewWebsite)
var strMasterPageUrl = '/_catalogs/masterpage/Test.master';
oNewWebsite.set_masterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.set_customMasterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.update();
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess1, onfail1);
function Onsuccess1() {
alert("Done");
function onfail1(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
The other way is to use this.context and this.oNewWebsite. To see how you can modify your code have a look at the following link.

Master Pages and Buttons - Bug and Fix Request

I think I'm the only person in the world who has encountered this bug, and I've filled out the bug report form on the Adobe site twice in a couple of years.
Just wondering if anyone else has encountered it, and I'm curious to know if it still exists in Creative Cloud (I'm still using CS6). However, I think this bug appeared in CS5.5, prior to that, results were as one would expect.
So here's the gist of it . . .
Prior versions of InDesign allowed you to put a button on a Master Page, then upon export to PDF the page number would be appended to the button name. CS6 appends random numbers to the button names on export. (It seems the number appended to the button names is the instance count of the button in question.) This problem becomes incrementally worse if you use different combinations of master pages, some with buttons and some without.
Steps to reproduce bug:
Create a button, named "menubutton" and add it to a master page
Apply that master page to 10 pages.
Export the ID file to PDF enabling buttons and interactive elements.
Check the button names in the PDF from Acrobat
Results:
In CS6, this now appends the page number, and an arbitrary number to the button name. CS6 results are like such: "menubutton.Page 1", "menubutton.Page 21", "menubutton.Page 32", "menubutton.Page 43", etc.
Expected results:
The button names should become "menubutton.Page 1", "menubutton.Page 2", "menubutton.Page 2" , etc. (As in prior ID versions)
The problem becomes a lot worse when you use combinations of master pages . . . for example:
Master A – contains one button – menubutton
Master B – contains one button – otherbutton
Apply those masters to alternating pages, like below and export to PDF, this will be the crazy result:
Page 1 (A)        “menubutton.Page 1”
Page 2 (B)        “otherbutton.Page 2”
Page 3 (A)        “menubutton.Page 31”
Page 4 (B)        “otherbutton.Page 41”
Page 5 (A)        “menubutton.Page 52”
Page 6 (B)        “otherbutton.Page 62”
Page 7 (A)        “menubutton.Page 73”
Page 8 (B)        “otherbutton.Page 83”
So, can anyone else attest to this? It makes scripting buttons incredibly hard!

Hi johnjohn123,
1. I would definitely make a copy of the EnterpriseWiki.aspx page layout and make changes to that. You can then set your pages to use your custom page layout. Typically, I provision these via Visual Studio and a module for uploading them to the SharePoint
master page gallery.
2. For the master page, the html version is new to 2013 and is meant to simplify branding, however, it's not required. You can still work within master pages and provision those via features if you'd like. The key is to create your own master page and never
modify the default.
If you need code samples for any of the above, let me know and I can supply it.

Pages don't reflect changes in their master page

I'm using InDesign CS5.5 (v. 7.5.3) with Mac OSX 10.8.4. I found one old question about this problem in another forum (with no submitted answer):
Assume you have a simple document with one master which simply features a text frame. Well, now if you add some inset spacing to the text frame on the master, this is immediately reflected on the pages to which the master had been applied. However, if you edit the master again and set the inset spacing back to zero, the text frames on the pages to which the master had already been applied keep the inset spacing. If one adds new pages, the text frames have no inset spacing, as I would expect. Can someone tell me why InDesign behaves this way... i.e., why are the changes to the master not reflected on the assigned pages when I set the inset spacing back to zero.
This question was asked re CS 2.0. The problem seems to remain in CS 5.5.

I made the changes to the frame inset in the master pages. This is a normal setting for frames, and not complex--and in any case, the point was that I had mistakenly set an inset value, but wanted to reset it to zero, so really nothing to create as an object style. So I reset the value to zero in the master pages. No update. I tried reapplying the changed master page to the doc pages. No update.
You note: "And if you reset the text frame in the Master it won't reflect in the pages."
Is this a known feature/bug? Why shouldn't inset values be part of master text frames and thus updated with them? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Thanks for the suggestion about object styles, though. I don't think it applies here, but I can see the usefulness elsewhere, and I've never really looked at them.

Change site master page not working in team site

For an intranet site I have a heavily customized master page but want to retain the default v4 master for admin pages. I haven't activated publishing for the site but can access changesitemasterpage.aspx and set the site and system master page.
Action:
Set site master to custom, set system master to v4
Expected result:
Exactly what the description says:
"The system master page will be used by administrative pages, lists, and document library views on this site."
Actual result:
ALL pages use the v4 master.
The only way to get the custom master to work is to change the system master setting to "custom". But then the styling interferes with the functionality of the admin pages. Is this another case of SP not doing what it says it's going to do,
or is it broken?

Hi ,
For your issue, there are two approaches you can refer to:
1.Activate publishing feature, set custom master page for “Site Master Page”. The site master page will be used by all publishing pages - the pages that visitors to your website will see.
2.Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS, you can find all the application pages in the folder (such as settings.aspx) . Open the aspx page
and find the dynamicMasterPage attribute at the page tag, change the value to default.master instead of custom.master. (not recommend)

Repeating Table in Master Pages

Hi =)
I'm having some trouble with a dynamic xml form I'm creating.
Inside a page I have a repeating table that allows the user to insert a new row (max 4 rows).
All I want is this page to adjust nicely to the size of the repeating table.
Since I've read that it is not possible to change master page size through javaScript, I've created a page set with different sized master pages that adjust to the different number of rows.
I tried to set some conditional breaks to change from master page to master page accordingly to the table size. The thing is, whenever the user adds a row, the two master pages will appear. The first one blank and the next one with the table.
I think I only need a way to make the previous master page disappear.
Can someone give me some advise?
I need help.
Thank you =)

Hi =)
I'm trying something different: I want to make the blank pages disappear by changing the position of the Pages in the Page Set.
Suppose the table only has 2 rows.
The script on the click event of the button "add row" is the following:
     //Adds an instance to the row
     form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance(true);
     //Counts the number of instances
     var n = form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.count;
     //If number of instances = 2 then the Pages position is changed
     if (n == 2){
          xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page1.pagePosition = "rest";
          xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page2.pagePosition = "first";
I also have a conditional break in the Table1 like this:
     "When"
          form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.count == 2
     "Break"
          before
     "to"
          Page2
This forces the entire table to change to the Page2 once it has 2rows.
The only thing that ruins this brilliant idea (cof cof =P) is...well, are this commands:
     xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page1.pagePosition = "rest"
     xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page2.pagePosition = "first";
They don't work! Why? Does anyone know?
Thanks =)

Click a button to change the Master Page

Hi everybody,
I have a LiveCycle Designer question…
Is it possible to have a button onclick event to change the Pagination “Place” property of a subform? I would like to change the Master Page that a subform is placed on using a script on an onclick event. I’m not sure if this is possible… wondering if you knew a way…
Thanks a lot.
Jing

Hi Jing,
I don't think it is easy, here is a sample that allows you to choose the page size and orientation (which are different master pages), Adobe LiveCycle Designer Cookbooks by BR001: Season Planner (or Year Planner) PDF Template
It effectively defines the form against each master page and recalculates the widths and heights when the page selected is made, but I don't know of another way.

Master page: header changes are not reflected in existing topics

A few months ago this forum helped me to troubleshoot and fix problems with the Show More | Show Less command that I inherited from a previous writer. I chose to use the Single Button approach and used this code, on the Master Page, for "onclick":
<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"></script><?rh-script_end ?>
<?rh-region_start type="header" style="width: 100%; position: relative;" ?>
<table style="height: 10px;" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<col width="186" />
<col width="481" />
<col width="97" />
<tr>
   <td><h2><img src="NGP_Logo_small.png" alt="" style="border: none;"
       border="0" /></h2></td>
   <td><h2 style="text-align: right; margin-right: 20px;">Help</h2></td>
   <td><h2><img src="btnshowall.gif" onclick="ShowAll(this)" alt=""
       style="border: none;" border="0" /></h2></td>
This worked fine until recently when I changed the logo in the left cell of the header table. Today I discovered that the img src = line had gone away. And so I re-entered it, and it works fine on new topics, and on some, but NOT all topics.
Here's what happens on an older topic:
Preview the topic.
Click Show All button. A Script Error message appears: "The value fo the property 'ShowAll' is null or undefined, not a Function object. Code = 0. file = ...../Help/Administration/rlt1F1.htm.
Here's the HTML code for this topic, which is missing the code btnshowall code.
<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="../ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript"
        language="JavaScript1.2"></script><?rh-script_end ?>
<?rh-placeholder type="header" ?>
<table cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<td style="vertical-align: bottom;"><p style="text-align: right;
             margin-bottom: 6pt; line-height: Normal;"> </p></td>
</tr>
</table>
I tried setting the Master Page to None and then re-setting it to Main. That does not help.
The only workaround I've found so far is to create a new topic, copy the content from the old topic, delete the old topic, and rename the new topic using the old topic's name. But that is very tedious.
Any thoughts on how to fix the problem without recreating every topic?
Thank you.

Changing number of columns on master page, does not affect pages?

I create a master page. say three columns per spread.
I go to actual pages, flow my type in with the loaded cursor and holding the shift key... it works like a charm... text flows in the three colums, adding pages until the end of the manuscript...
Now I decide I don't like the three columns. I go to the master page and change to 4 columns via "margins and columns..." under LAYOUT menu
I go to the pages assuming that any change in a masterpage will translate to the pages... NOT!
If I go to to my first page, the type is still in three colums...
All other changes I make on the masterpage do translate to the pages... like say a color bar at the top, the size and font of the folios... BUT NOT if I change the number of columns???
Can anyone shed light on this?

You MUST tick the Option for "Master Text Frame" when Creating a new document.
OR you MUST include a Text Frame with the number of Columns on the master page.
Copy the text to the clip board
Delete all page except page 1
remove the existing text frame.
Drag the Master A to the page 1
CTRL or CMD (MAC) click shift the text frame to break it from the master.
Now paste your text in here
Insert a new page
And click the Overload (red cross) button and connect it to the page 2 hodling down shift.
From memory - hope I got it right !

Is it possible to use two buttons on a master page to link to consecutive pages i.e. previous or next

The easiest way to explain what I am attempting to achieve is to create a navigation template on the master page, with two identical arrows, one pinned to the left side, and one to the right, along with a basic 3 button navigation for; home - table of contents - end for example.
The idea behind the arrows is that if on my "Plan" tab in Muse, I have all pages within the site in consecutive order from left to right and everytime I change the image that represents the previous or next, I have to go through every page, delete the source image, add the source image to every page (50+ pages) and then link each page individually to the next page in the order.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Jeff

I produce a 300-page magazine twice a year that uses next/previous links. Unfortunately master items can't be edited on individual pages. My solution is to edit the HTML after the export. Too bad overrides don't work as they do in InDesign.
In Muse you could create the arrows on an editable page, then copy/paste-in-place on the rest of the pages and edit the links on each page. Isolate them on a separate locked layer above the regular page content so they don't get moved accidentally.

Problem to change the master page height using javascript

Hi everyone,
I've been trying it but no luck... appreciate any helps possible.. Thanks!
I've a masterpage called 'UILayout':
Long(Height)=100mm, Short(Width)=100mm
I've a button click event with the script to set the Long to 160mm:
====================================
//display current height
var curHeight = xfa.form.form1.pageSet.UILayout.medium["long"];
xfa.host.messageBox("Current Height = " + curHeight);
//set height to 160mm
xfa.form.form1.pageSet.UILayout.medium["long"]="160mm";
//relayout the pageArea
xfa.layout.relayoutPageArea(0);
====================================
Doesn't work, I wrote another button click event to retrieve the height, and it returned 160mm. But the layout just doesn't refresh with the changed height....i'm using LC Designer 8.2, form saved as Dynamic XML PDF , compability set to 7.0.5, view in Acrobat Pro 7.1. Thanks...

I do not think you will be able to adjust the Master page size as it is tied to the Content Area size as well. I tried to adjust the pageisze and the content size but it was ignored. I can get at the properties to change them but that is it.

Applying Changes to Master Pages

Is there any way to apply a change to a master page to a topic that is already linked to that master page? I tried removing the link, making the change to the master page, and then re-linking the topic, but it the "old" version of the master page gets applied. I also tried making a change to the master page and then using the Apply To All feature when generating, but again, the version applied is the "old" master page.

Hello again Paul
Okay, so the fact you are referring to them as Master Pages would seem to imply you are using RoboHelp 8. When you edit a Master Page in this version you note that there are "Placeholders" on the page. There is a Placeholder for the Body text. You may also add other Placeholders as well as Headers and Footers.
If you inserted the button bar inside the Body placeholder, it would only be related to topics you created using the Master Page as a template. If you later changed this in some way, for example removing or adding a button, it would only be reflected in topics you later created after making the change. Topics created prior to the change will be unfazed.
You can change this behavior by inserting the element just above the Body Placeholder. When content is outside the Placeholder, it gets copied to any topic associated with the Master Page.
As for RoboHelp being "helpful" and leaving the code alone, you are on your own with that. Trial and error will tell you whether RoboHelp will clobber the changes to the code. About the only way to ensure that doesn't happen is by using some custom JavaScript to "write in" the desired code.
Cheers... Rick
