Child page navigation

I have a hard time believing this cannot be done...but out of the box, I cannot seem to "force" horizontal or vertical navigation to reference only the children of the page. Typically, with other navigation systems in similar types of software, navigation can be set to parent (level above), sibling (same level) or children and I don't really see how this is possible. How can any navigation really NOT support child pages only?
Is there a way I'm not seeing or a tool that can be downloaded?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Mike

Hello Mike,
Muse Menu Widgets have three modes, Top Level Pages, All Pages and Manual. You can use the Manual mode to create a menu with custom links to just the child pages of a certain parent page.

I NEED HELP! How do you Create a Drop Down Accordion Navi with the child pages remaining expanded

I would like to know how I can create a vertical accordion navigation with some custom modifications.
I need it to function like this sites vertical navigation. (link is below) Click on the parent page "bedrooms" and it expands revealing all of the "child pages" then click on one of the child pages, it turns the font to Underlined and all the child pages remain exposed! (it does not collapse after you click on a child page!!!!!!!) I need my site to do this as it tells the visiter where they are exactly on the site!     Please HELP ME! Thank You!
I would actually like mine to be a little more pronounced. Perhaps having the link turn to BOLD Font indicating you are on that page. And the main Parent page would have a diffrent background color.
Site that has the Navi that I want to Mimic:
http://www.fowfurniture.com/
EXAMPLE: Adhesives IS IN BOLD indicating you are on that page. and it remains open it should remain open until you click on another parent page like Hardwood. (Then the Hardwood child pages (Sub Menu) would expand looking like the carpet sub menus/child pages. All of the accordians i have found seam to collapse after you select a child page (sub menu) and the visitor wouldn't know where he is on the site... Please Help Me accomplish this!
Carpet
                      Repairs
                      Fibers
                      Adhesives
                      Tools
                      Pad
Hardwood
When nothing is selected it should look like this: The cell of "Carpet" is a slightly a diffrent color because it is in the "Hover" state.
Carpet
Hardwood
Tile
Vinyl
Linoleum

Still need help, I could do it for a value lower. contact me at [email protected]

Templates not updating child pages

I am running DM CS3, Version 9.0, Build 3481. When I have the
HTTP address listed in the box on the Site Definition page (Local
Info), any changes that I make to a template are not saved in the
child pages when I save the template. I have the Links set relative
to Document.
If I remove the HTTP address from the box in the Site
Definition page, the template changes will be saved in the child
pages. If I click to Remote Server and then back to Local Info, the
HTTP address is inserted back into the HTTP box. I have to remove
it and hit OKAY and DONE in order to have the template update
properly.
I did not have to do this before. I have reloaded DM CS3, so
maybe a switch is set somewhere to cause this issue. Does anyone
know how to fix this permanently?
Regards,
Bill Schaepe

Sure. It's Dreamweaver MX Templates by Brad Halstead and myself - ISBN 0-7357-1319-7. I spend quite a bit of time explaining nested templates. Sadly, nowhere do I say you should avoid them. But you should.
There is a master template that controls top level navigation and then five child templates that give different left-side navigation based on which section of the site the user is in. You can see this in action at www.homerenergy.com.
You should see how easy this is to do with server-side includes and a single template file. It's the best of both worlds.
You can see this in action at www.homerenergy.com.
Yep. http://validator.w3.org/unicorn/check?ucn_uri=http://www.homerenergy.com/&ucn_task=conform ance - even if you would leave the nested templates in place, you would sure want to fix those.
The section-specific navigation is very easy to manage either with template conditionals or with server-side includes. You can see this site - http://www.ent-sys.com - where I have done the section navigation on interior pages with template conditionals.
However, your site is small, and simple. Nested templates can work OK in such circumstances. But I have never seen a use of nested templates that couldn't be done more simply with some other approach.

Fireworks menu in template child pages

Hi, I'm redoing my site with templates. I made a pop-up menu
in Fireworks, and put that in the locked region in a template. I am
applying that template to some child pages in a few folders under
the main site folder. The menu was working fine before, but I
changed the Fireworks menu file, and put that in the template and
saved it and updated all pages that use that template. After doing
that, the menu pops up, but the buttons aren't right. They're just
squares of color instead of the gif buttons that Fireworks will let
you do. Also, the arrows on the pop-up menus that lead to the sub
menu aren't there. I think an "x" just shows up instead.
Does anybody have any suggestions about this? Thanks!

I read that article. Very interesting..... those turds at
Crackholemedia..... I also checked out those other links to other
options. Thanks for those. I was really liking how my menu was
looking in Fireworks.... Any idea how to make my dropdown buttons
look like this?:
http://www.decoy.cc/us/picslivejp.htm
Any comments on using Flash (or Dreamweaver, or anything else
without spending money, since I already have these programs
anyway... the turds...) to make a menu?

Applying Active state of top level nav. menu to child pages

I am trying to keep a consistent look across the child pages of a top level site. I'd like the main navigation bar to remain in an active state for the parent page while the user navigates the child pages associated with that page using submenus. Ideally, I'd like the active state to remain on the top level menu so that the user knows they are still within that parent while they drill down to the specific information they are looking for.
Brand new at this and am truly your 'no HTML' experience, just design work gal. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Muse menus don't currently support this, although it is on our list of features to add in the future.

Help needed with child pages

Hello,
I'm a complete novice at using Adobe Muse, so i hope you can help me out!
The website i'm creating is for a shop, so i have about 10 master pages for the brands, then i add a child page under each brand, then add pages to the right of that so i have a long row of products for each brand. As you can imagine my Adobe Muse screen is quite long horizontally.
Is it possible to create 'top level pages' underneath other top level pages to make it easier for me to navigate around?
Thanks

Yes, you are right.
Felicity, see http://www.adobekb.com/participating_in_muse_beta.html
You can join the beta for Muse 5 and get access to this navigation feature.
Cheers,

Now my child buttons are all overlapping each other and don't function as they should. How can I fix this? Please be specific as I'm new to Muse and easily confused.....

Page navigation in Acrobat does not match page numbers in the document

I have a document in both Framemaker format (server.book) and PDF (server.pdf). When I view the pdf file in Adobe Acrobat, the page numbers appear correctly on the document itself, but up in the Page Navigation window within Acrobat the pages number doesn't match.
In the beginning of the book I have Title page, a Table of Contents, and a Preface that all use lower-case roman numerals. However, when viewing this document via Acrobat, the Title pages show up as i, and ii, but then the Table of Contents and Preface show up as pages 1 - 8 instead of iii - x in the page navigation window.
I can't figure where this discrepancy is originating.
Please help.

Acrobat has no way to know which bit of character string on each page is the page number.
The visible page number has never formed any part of Reader nav. as you point out, it couldn't.
Acrobat knows the Numbering Properties of the pages as created in Frame. It just doesn't display or honor them consistently, depending on Reader version.
I also use i, ii, iii, iv for pre-narrative material. The romans are displayed in the page number box of Acroread (this is AR7 on Unix). I can enter "ii" in the box, and go to that page. But the Print dialog is Ordinal only. Printing page ranges in AR7 is always off by 2 or 4 relative to the actual page numbers.
Acrobat Pro 9 (9.4.5, Win7-64) seems to be more consistent, and does show and accept real page numbers for Print.

Print, Export and Page Navigation Buttons in the Report

When I view a report through CR4E, the generated report has 3 buttons namely Print, Export and Page Navigation buttons. But when I click on either of the buttons I get a 'null pointer exception'. This is a critical error as I am unable to navigate past the first page. Do I have to add code to these buttons? If not, why am I getting an error? Kindly solve my problem as soon as possible.

<p>Looking at your code it appears that you are storing the ReportSource in session prior to passing in the ResultSet. This will create a problem when a postback is made on the viewer page (which all of the viewer actions do). If you look at the sample code which is generated when you use the JSP Page Wizard you will notice that the ResultSet is passed to the ReportClientDocument object prior to it being stored in session. Then, when the page is called again this object is retrieved and the ReportSource is used by the viewer. You can quickly run the test using one of our sample reports to see what I am talking about. The code below was generated using the Consolidated Balance Sheet.rpt and did not experience any problems doing any of the viewer actions.</p><%@page import="com.businessobjects.samples.JRCHelperSample,<br />com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportViewer,<br />com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument,<br />com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.OpenReportOptions,<br />com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKExceptionBase,<br />com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.reportsource.IReportSource,<br />java.sql.Connection,<br />java.sql.DriverManager,<br />java.sql.ResultSet,<br />java.sql.SQLException,<br />java.sql.Statement"%><%<br /><br /><br /> try {<br /><br /> String reportName = "Sample Reports/Consolidated Balance Sheet.rpt";<br /> ReportClientDocument clientDoc = (ReportClientDocument) session.getAttribute(reportName);<br /><br /> if (clientDoc == null) {<br /><br /> clientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();<br /> <br /> // Open report<br /> clientDoc.open(reportName, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);<br /><br /> <br /> {<br /> // **** POPULATE MAIN REPORT ****<br /> {<br /> // Connection Info for fetching the resultSet<br /> String connectStr = "jdbc:derby:classpath:/Xtreme";<br /> String driverName = "org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver";<br /> String userName = "dbuser"; // TODO: Fill in database user<br /> String password = "dbpassword"; // TODO: Fill in valid password<br /><br /> String query = "SELECT CUSTOMER_NAME FROM APP.CUSTOMER WHERE COUNTRY = 'Australia'";<br /><br /> <br /> String tableAlias = "FINANCIALS"; // TODO: Change to correct table alias<br /><br /> <br /> JRCHelperSample.passResultSet(clientDoc, fetchResultSet(driverName, connectStr, userName, password, query),<br /> tableAlias, "");<br /> }<br /><br /><br /> }<br /> <br /> // Store the report document in session<br /> session.setAttribute(reportName, clientDoc);<br /><br /> }<br /><br /><br /> {<br /> // Create the CrystalReportViewer object<br /> CrystalReportViewer crystalReportPageViewer = new CrystalReportViewer();<br /><br /> // set the reportsource property of the viewer<br /> IReportSource reportSource = clientDoc.getReportSource(); <br /> crystalReportPageViewer.setReportSource(reportSource);<br /><br /> // set viewer attributes<br /> crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnPage(true);<br /> crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnForm(true);<br /><br /> // Process the report<br /> crystalReportPageViewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, application, null); <br /><br /> }<br /> <br /><br /> } catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) {<br /> out.println(e);<br /> } <br /> <br />%><%!<br />// Simple utility function for obtaining result sets that will be pushed into the report. <br />// This is just standard querying of a Java result set and does NOT involve any <br />// Crystal JRC SDK functions. <br /><br /> private static ResultSet fetchResultSet(String driverName,<br /> String connectStr, String userName, String password, String query) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException {<br /><br /> //Load JDBC driver for the database that will be queried <br /> Class.forName(driverName);<br /><br /> Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectStr, userName, password);<br /> Statement statement = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);<br /><br /> //Execute query and return result sets<br /> return statement.executeQuery(query);<br /><br />}%><p>Try using the code generated from the wizard to see if it works for you as well. </p><p>Regards,<br />Sean Johnson (CR4E Product Manager) </p>

Hyperlink and child page problems

I have had no success in solving my muse problems. I will restate the problem with more detail in the hope that some knows what I am doing wrong and can recommend solutions.
The Hyperlink panel element is missing so that I cannot establish a hyperlink. This situation exists with two website I am working on, so I assume that it is a Muse setting which has to be set or re-set, in order to have the hyperlink option available. I can turn the panel off/on by going to windows>control, but tuning the control back on, it still appears without the hyperlink.
2.
In the plan mode, I created a page with two child pages attached. The plan view shows the site layout the way it was planned.
However when I choose Preview or Preview in Browser the children do not appear. One recommendation I received from this forum was to turn on “show all Pages”, but I cannot find that switch.
The inability to use these two features has brought me to a screeching halt.
The odd part is that the hyperlink worked fine until a couple of days ago, but when I went back to continue work on the site, hyperlink was not there.
The Child problem has never worked.

Hi
For the last question, the show all pages is located on the top right of the menu bar; (check on top left of the screen that you have indeed selected the menu bar) once menu bar is clicked, the blue circle with white arrow will appear, it is in there you will find MENU TYPE option, select ALL PAGES.
NOTE when you selct menu bar, top left of the page has to confirm that you have selcted the menu!
Hope this helps?

How to create a template and child pages using mockup designed in Fireworks

I have created a website in Fireworks, and exported it to use in Dreamweaver. How do I use the Master page in Fireworks as my template page in Dreamweaver? When I bring in the .htm files from fireworks, it tries to bring in the entire page. I have taken 25 hours of online training for Fireworks and Dreamweaver through Lynda.com, but there is not a specific video that tells you how to get your website from Fireworks into Dreamweaver if you want to utilize the Template and child page features.

Use Fireworks to crop, slice and optimize images only. DO NOT allow any graphics app to generate your HTML code for you. This results in poorly formed code and rigid layouts that invariably fall apart when you attempt to edit them in DW. Fireworks / Photoshop generated pages are for quick prototypes or design comps to show the client. They do not work well on production sites.

Modifying a template resulted in all child pages with repeating editable regions - Help !

Good morning,
I have recently been appointed to update a website designed in Dreamweaver by an employee who is no longer here. I have read books on the software and practiced an insane amount which permitted me to update child pages, links, documents etc... however:
I was asked to add a new button to an "non-editable" region of a template. Trying to do so resulted in a massive mess (with massive anxiety).
Even thou the new template had all the same text and editable regions, all my pages look completely different from the template itself. The editable regions appears 2-3 times in different locations ex: Header is showed on the bottom, top etc... and the Editable region titles (EditableRegion1 etc...) repeat themselves as well.
I really need help and not sure what to do, I have tried everything and I am only making it worse and worse. All I want/need is for all my html pages created with this template, match the template.
Please note that this site is local, not online.
Since I noticed on other threads that the code is needed; here it is:

I am not suprised, the previous employee tried to recreate the English version of the site in another folder structure and did not change all links and was still using a template in the wrong location.
I think I created the mess by trying to modify the existing template's non-editable region in order to add a new button. When trying to update all the pages, the fiasco started.
Do you think the best option would be to create a new template in the correct folder structure and apply it? Would it fix the current pages or will I have to fix them all manualy on by one?
I understand it is difficult to deal with a newbie of my magnitude and thanks again.

Passing Dynamic Loop Data From Child Page To Parent

Hi All,
     I'm trying to create something where when a user clicks a link on the main page, javascript opens a new window which querys a database and displays the results. The user then selects the result they want via a form button or url (doesn't matter which) from the child page, which sends a value to fill in a form field on the parent page. Sounds simple, but I can't figure out how to get the information back to the parent page from the dynamic form in the child. I get a value of Undefined in the form field on the parent page. I think its because I'm using the same name for each button with a different value, and javascript doesn't like that. I'm not really that good with JS, which I suspect is why I can't get it. I'll post my code below, and any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Dan, that was exactly it. Thank you so much for the help!   I'm displaying the corrected code changes below for future reference by others.
<script type="text/javascript">
      function SendInfo(incomingValue){
      opener.document.RRForm.clientnums.value = incomingValue;
      window.close();
</script>
AND
<input type="Button" name="PassData" value="#cno#" style="width:50" onclick="SendInfo(#cno#)">

Put a child page into a region in a parent page? (APEX 2.2.0)

Hi, all,
Thanks so much for all of your help previously.
I want to have the entire contents of child page inserted into a region of parent page. The child page uses the "Empty Template" template and has an report region that uses the "No Template" template.
The parent page has a region containing a single div into which I want to insert the child page. If I do this using JavaScript and htmldb_Get object, inserting the result of the AJAX request into the DIV, I get what I want. I can't figure out how to preload the page into the region.
I've tried using the URL region, but I keep getting
ORA-29273: HTTP request failed
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1674
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not existwhen I enter the URL for the child page.
I can't use UTL_HTTP.REQUEST, either.
select utl_http.request('http://myserver/f?p=100:100:12345678901234')
from dual;I get roughly the same error. (I copy and paste the same URL that I use for the AJAX request. I can also type that URL into a browser and get the page.)
I can get both Google's and Oracle's Web sites this way.
My other option is to render the entire page to a string, store it in a VARCHAR2 / CLOB, and output it to the screen. Is there a way (maybe using WWV_FLOW) to render a page to a string?
I want to avoid using DHTML when it's not needed and I don't think that I would need it to initially load the page.
Thanks!

Carl,
(Sorry about the reply gap.)
As best as I can tell, iframes can't auto-fit their contents without JavaScript. I've also heard mixed things about iframes and accessibility. The contents of the iframe also don't inherit the CSS definitions from the parent frame. (None of those may be good enough reasons to not use iframes, but I am totally unfamiliar.)
There are workarounds for all of those problems, but I'm just as inclined to write some PL/SQL function that generates my page for me and call that from a PL/SQL region, since the page is so simple. It might take me less time to write the PL/SQL function and PL/SQL region than it will to make the iframes look pretty.
Thanks for the reply!

Well, that's odd. When I changed my authentication scheme from what I was using to the database authentication (the DAD one), the utl_http.request call works, as does the URL region. So the authentication is getting in the way. I wonder if there is a (elegant) way around that?

Is WWV_FLOW.SHOW documented? In a PL/SQL region, I can call
WWV_FLOW.SHOW(P_INSTANCE => '&SESSION.', P_FLOW_ID => '100', P_FLOW_STEP_ID => '1000');where 100 is my app number and 7000 my page number, but it only works if I have no other regions. Otherwise, the page entirely fails to render.

11g Forms Tab-Page Navigation

I am using Forms 11g on Solaris.
A main navigator form opens another form which has a content canvas, tab-page canvas and (3) stacked canvases.
The problem I am having is with tab-page navigation.     CTRL+TAB ( next ) and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB ( previous )
As long as I do not initiate navigation from an item on a stacked canvas, navigation is as expected ( between tab pages only ).
However, navigating from an item within a stacked canvas causes navigation to the parent form.
Repeating the tab navigation keys from the parent form returns to the called form.
Note that both key-combinations simply toggle back and forth.
I have found no documentation on tab-page navigation so any help / insight is greatly appreciated !
Mike

Hi Soofi !
Changing block order in the called form does not affect the navigation between tab pages.
Note in my question that the resulting undesired navigation is to and from the calling form ( which only has one block ).
Navigation between items and blocks works as expected.
To reiterate -
     The only navigation that fails is when I attempt to CTRL+TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB to another tab page from within an item on a stacked canvas.
     Attempting this navigation results in moving the cursor focus to the calling form.
     Repeating the attempt from the calling form moves back to the called form.
     None of your methods mention navigation between forms .
Thanks for your interest.
