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.

Why if using a composition widget as a dropdown target links fade if they extend over a text area

I am working on a site using the composition widget for a drop down menu. I find that if the target links extend over a text area, they fade out before one can click the link and while this can be overcome for desktop and tablet layouts, it cannot for phone layouts. The link below shows the issue. Any suggestions?

Hi, No luck sorry! I have posted this a few times in the forum and also as a bug but no reply from Adobe! Really annoying as Im having to do a total redesign as a result and its not ideal. If you do manage to work it please do let me know!

Church bulletin with pages

I'm new to pages.... I need to know how to divide a page for a church bulletin?

Hi Leslie,
I'm assuming you want your bulletin to fit on the left and right halves of a Landscapre oriented standard page.
The closest to this in the supplied templates is the "Catering Brochure" template. Another one that will fit is the "Landscape Borchure." The main differences between the two are the image layouts nd the number of columns of text on the final pages.
An examination of how these are constructed (mostly text boxes for the text and image placeholders for the graphics) should give you some ideas of the tools to use for your bulletin.
Create your sample bulletin, then save it as a template. Open that template to serve as the base for new bulletins.

How can i disable "browser-auto-load" for different iframe-contents in a composite widget?

Hey there,
i´ve got a lil topic going on with a Website (One-Site-Layout with anchors), created with muse
i putted 20 iframes (each one routed to its own trigger) in a composite widget. Everything is working perfect for me and the users, but :
The deliverer of the iframe-contents (pretty big picture galeries) told me, his server crashes, because every single time, someome enter the Website, the browser i loading every single iframe-content in this widget automatically > so the traffic is way to large, and i need a solution that simply load every single content after a click on the right trigger, not before.
thank you so much!

Why can't I reduce the height of my container box in the Lightbox Display composition widget?

I'm using the Lightbox Display composition widget, I would like to place my trigger at the bottom of my lightbox, I've reduced the height of my image frame but the container box cannot be reduced accordingly. I need to reduce the height of the container box or my triggers will be hidden behind the box. Please advice, thank you.

Hi,
When you insert the light box display, by default it has 3 slides with different components like trigger, container, target, image frame, text box, next button, preview button. You have to change the dimensions for all components for these default 3 images one by one.
Or you can delete 2 of the triggers (that will resul in deleting all of their components from the widget), then you are left with only one image and its components. Later, you can add more images to lightbox display.
Resize the components as per following video:
http://gauravr183.businesscatalyst.com/images/2013-09-26_1440.swf
The steps are, after you have added the widget on the page:
Delete the triggers.
Then select Image frame, resize it. Move close button near it (the 'X' button), resize the text box,resize next and previous buttons and move all of these near the image frame.
Then click on the image frame, till you get "Target" area selected, resize target area and container will be resized automatically.

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.

Slideshow Widget and Composition Widget Synchronizing Problem

I have a slideshow with images and composition widget of text that corresponds with each slide. The settings are the same for both, works fine on desktop yet on the tablet and iphone versions, they are messed up.
Here's the BC site: dezinegirl
I have been waiting for Customer Care via Chat to figure it out looking at my files, but it's been an HOUR and I don't think he knows.
Anyone else have this issue?
BTW: I am working with a purchased template.
Thanks!

Hi Pam,
Instead of using the slideshow widget in sync with the composition widget, I will suggest that you switch to using one composition widget. Slideshow widgets does not allow text frame but composition widgets allows images as well as text frames. So you can allocate individual text frames to each target and that should give you the effect that you are looking for with no sync issues.
Let me know if you need more clarifications on this.

Adding alt text to composition widget images?

How do I add alt text and image titles for Composition>Blank widgets images? When I control-click the image, the context menu does not include these options.

I'm not sure how to describe the problem I'm having, so here's a screen shot of my composition widget with images placed (it's a bit sloppy, but I'm running out of patience for fine-tuning until I get this situation figured out).
After file>placing a thumbnail image in a trigger, I file>placed the corresponding image in its target area. I then clicked on the second trigger, placed the thumbnail. But the second trigger didn't click through to the second target panel, which would have been a grey panel. So I thought I maybe I should just go ahead and place the second target image anyway, but it just sits there on top. I did this for three images. The first target image placed is on the bottom, then the second, and the third placed target image is on top. So I can't figure out how to click from one target panel to the next to place each image, getting it to correspond with its proper trigger. Does this make any sense yet?
You can see how they look like they are separate and layered, and when sizing, or moved in any way, they are become ungrouped, rather than as a group such as when I used the fill option. Last, when I click on the trigger thumbnail images, the triggers just aren't activating the target panels at all. I'm at a complete loss on this. I think I've tried everthing, but obviously I'm missing something. Thanks again.

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,

What is the maximum number of slides in a composition widget?

I was putting together a composition widget and it appears it stops at 12. Is this right? Is there a way or another widget similar that allows more?

Hi
To confirm there's no such limit on number of slides. You may add as many as you want. For example : Home I have added 18 slides you may add more as per your requirement.

'Blank' and 'Tooltip' Composition Widget disappearing

I have created a slideshow of sorts using the 'blank' composition widget (also tried 'tooltip comp'). I chose to use this so that I can add interactivity eventually and link text. Everything is working fine, until I start scrolling down the page. Once the composition is about half-way underneath my top menu, it completely disappears and no slides are visible. I've checked my scrolling/opacity settings and cannot for the life of me figure out what is triggering this. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! The composition I'm referring to is the first one that appears on the page, just as the top menu drops down and contains a slide that says 'connect'.

Place the trigger where it should be and rearrange the sequence of the triggers by changing their stacking order: Rightclick the trigger and choose "Arrange/…". The most backward trigger is the first one to open.

Slideshows within composition widgets

Is it possible when inserting different slideshows into a composition widget (different slideshows placed within different targets) to have the slideshows start from the beginning when the corresponding trigger is clicked? I'd like the slideshow to play in order, starting with the first slide, when the trigger is clicked rather than have it playing continuously when viewing other targets.

Hello,
Unfortunately it is not possible to start the Slideshow when the Composition Trigger is clicked.
All the slideshows with Autoplay option enabled start as soon as the page loads.
I would suggest you to post this as a feature request on our "Ideas for features in Adobe Muse" section of the forums : http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas

Overlay multiple composition widgets

Is there a way to overlay multiple composition widgets? I am overlaying 2 blank widgets and within Muse it works but when I preview the webpage it doesn't work. For example, the trim of the shirt can be changed to red, while the main shirt can be changed to blue. In design mode, I have overlayed a blank widget with a blank widget. Widget A has the main shirt images in 3 different colors, while widget be has the trim in 3 different colors. Is this possible?

Hi Jawad,
Just realised that you posed this in the Machine Vision section so you're using IMAQ.
When you look at the example below, you'll see this is just using two images.
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-25452
Inside the For Loops, the colours of each image array is being change on every iteration, then the two image arrays are combined into one.
You should be able to edit this code by simply indexing another image array into the for loop, building this (along with the two other image arrays) into the final array.
Good luck!

Can you make a composition widget act like an accordion widget?

Is it possible to make a composition widget act like an accordion widget? The reason I ask is because the styling that I can do inside of a composition widget is much more than that of a accordion widget which is just a simple text frame, makes it impossible to add images/icons where I would like to. The only work around to this is to make a .psd file with my states already predefined in it, however If I have to resize the widget for any reason I then have to go and edit the psd file vs just simple moving the items in muse.

Hi
How exactly you are trying to style the text or image ?
You can insert any object or widget in accordion , add image or draw a rectangle with different states defined. You can resize while placing the image etc.
If this is not you are looking for , then please elaborate as what specific changes you are looking for the object in accordion.
Composition and Accordion , both are different and works differently but you can use accordion itself and make the changes to text or image anything inserted in the container.
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.
