Dynamic rollover with master page set

hi there everyone
I am having a great time with the master detail page set
behaviour
But.........
when you choose a field to link to the detail page ..... the
link is colored blue , with no rollover effect
Is there anyway to insert a rollover effect to that blue
link..... say so it changes color on mouse over?

Do you mean just changing the color of the link when you roll
over it?
If so, that is done using CSS:
a:link {
color: #336699;
text-decoration: none
a:visited {
color: #663399;
text-decoration: none
a:hover {
color: #993399;
text-decoration: underline
Just put in the colors according to your taste, underlined or
not, that
sort of thing.

Object appearing on pages applied with master page

I'm doing a multi-page brochure and I've got all my master pages set up. on the odd pages applied with master page 'A,' a colored rectangle appears when I print that is not on screen on my master page 'A,' nor is it an object on those pages. it also appeared on a pdf that i sent out.
I can't get rid of it! I've tried to delete the master page 'A' and create a new one (made a copy of a master that didn't have issues), then applied that to the odd pages. no luck.

Thanks Al, you've been a busy ID user over the years. Me, I've only been using it for a couple years and I always seem to learn something new every day. Thanks for your help, and I'll continue to read further into the threads. There's always more than one way to skin a cat, we all know that, so there are multiple ways to fix the problem at hand. Some of my spreads hold large photos that actually go right through the spine of the spread, and yet the two pages of the spread can actually have 2 different master pages applied. So, I've got to figure out which way is best..whether its moving the master page items away from the spine or if splitting up the pages is better (not exactly sure how that will work yet with large spread photos). I'll look into it more later, when I have more time. Right now I'm on deadline (monthly magazine), and for a quick and easy fix, I can switch master pages off and just copy the master items over to each page spread where I need them.
and thanks for the tip on Indesignsecrets.com. I didn't know they existed....and now I do, thanks! (too many websites...too little time!

Probmels with master page

Hi,
I have a publication with master page background picture. Problem is that I don't want to have this picture on the cover of publication but only on the rest of the pages. How do I delete that background only from the cover?
Thanks.

You lost me here, Ken. Are you saying to override all master items?
No, another typo, sorry. I meant to write "Allow Master Item Overrides". Somehow the "ow" didn't make it in. First you have to allow the object to be overridden, then you override it.
Incidentally, I noticed that all master page objects (at least in my installation) seem to be disallowed by default (in that I can't override them from a local page), but I don't actually have to explicitly allow them to override. All I have to do is right click on the object on the master page and "Allow Master Item Overrides" is already checked. Strange, but not a real problem.
The assertion that cover must be a separate document also is, I think, a little off-target.
A *full cover* must be a separate document. You're completely right that a separate front or back cover can be set inside the document. I probably should have written "full cover with spine" to be absolutely clear.

Problem with Master Pages CS5

Hello there,
I started updating a file I created several years ago in InDesign CS3. I am currently running CS5.
I have multiple master pages set up in this facing pages document. Sometimes I applied Master A to the left-hand page and Master D to the right-hand page.
The problem is, on Master A there is a rule set up that extends from the centre spine out towards the outside edge of the page. Master D does not have that rule. However, on any set of pages where I have applied Master A to the left-hand page and Master D to the right-hand page the rule is showing up, as if I have applied the Master A to the right hand page as well.
The rule on Master A starts at the centre spine EXACTLY. If I move the rule on the right-hand page slight out from the centre, the rule won't show up.
I have included some screenshots to illustrate the problem. I'd appreciate any help! Thanks!
Master A screenshot
Master D screenshot
Master A applied on the left-hand page, Master D applied on the right-hand page.

Thanks again for your response Peter.
I have 5 of these files.
I tried the export to IDML from CS5, and then opened that and it didn't work.
I tried reassigning the problem page to Master A, then changed it to D. That didn't work either.

Dynamic field in master page header?

Is it possible to put a dynamic field in a master page header that will either pull from a hidden text field added to each subform (e.g., appID) or pull in the title of the subform itself? I have a number of variable-sized subforms that need the same header and footer, with the only distinct element being a different number at the top.
I've been looking for a standard variable or wildcard that can be used to dynamically reference an object at the same level in multiple subforms, but so far have not been able to find what I need.
Hierarchy:
form1
     masterpage
     subformApp1
     subformApp2

Hi Sankar,
Create on eattribute of type String and bind to title property of page header,
and your WDDOINIT or any event write code to set title for PG header,
You are using different buttons, use this code in your buttons and change text.
DATA lo_el_context TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_context TYPE wd_this->Element_context.
DATA lv_pg TYPE wd_this->Element_context-pg.
* get element via lead selection
lo_el_context = wd_context->get_element( ).
data pg1 type string.
pg1 = 'selected the record'.
lv_pg = Pg1.
* set single attribute
lo_el_context->set_attribute(
    name = `PG`
    value = lv_pg ).
In button 1..
lv_pg = 'Enter the entries'.
* set single attribute
lo_el_context->set_attribute(
    name = `PG`
    value = lv_pg ).
Cheers,
Kris.

Custom Master page set as a default on feature activation in Moss

I've a site in moss. I have created feature in my solution and on feature activation it will set the custom master page

Hello Sameer,
When you are calling "RemoveCustomMasterPage" function?
Also make below change in web.config file your web application to know the problem:
1. Open up your sites web.config, and make the standard custom errors edit. You want it to be < customerrors mode="Off"/>
2. Then, search for the CallStack="false" and change it to CallStack="true", you should find this in the "<safemode>" node.
3. Find: <compilation debug="false" />, Replace with: <compilation debug="true" />

Error with master page "insert current page number" when exporting book

Using InDesign CS 5.5 for Windows
Recently upgraded from InDesign CS (the really old one from 2003). I did save a copy of all my old version files and kept the old ID installed just in case (after reading all the horror stories on here).
In my old version of ID, I created a book made up of about 70 documents. Some of these documents are one page, others have multiple pages. In the multiple page documents, I used the "insert ... current page number" character (or whatever the command was in the old version) on a master page, and formatted it to read, for example: Page 1 of 17, Page 2 of 17, Page 3 of 17, etc. When I exported my book to a pdf, it worked fine. (I do not want/have consecutive page numbers throughout the book, only in individual documents. By this I mean my entire book is about 280 pages, but not all of these 280 pages are numbered, just the groups of pages from these multi-page documents. It doesn't read page 1 through 280.)
Got my upgrade to 5.5 a few months ago, added some documents to the book, and (if i remember right) when I saved the book it asked to convert every old version document to the new version, which I said okay. When I exported the book to a pdf, some documents that are longer than 2 pages are now numbered wrong; the numbers are now going like this: Page 1 of 17, Page 2 of 17, Page 2 of 17 (supposed to be page 3), Page 2 of 17 (supposed to be page 4), etc. Every page but page 1 is now page 2 of whatever.
If I open the individual document and export it to pdf, the page numbers work fine. It's only when the document is exported with the book that the page numbers mess up. And it's not all the documents in my book; this error starts at a particular document and continues from that point throughout the rest of the book, affecting any document longer than 2 pages. Multi-page documents before this point in the book export with the correct page numbers.
I create new documents by doing a "save as" with a previously created document and cut and paste as needed, so I'm not having to reformat or set up page numbers on each new document. I don't use layers or styles (I'm sure there's a better way to do what I need, but I've only had time learn the basics, just enough to be functional.)
My attempts to fix this so far (using version 5.5), testing with the first document where the error appears: (1) I've removed the document from the book, deleted the insert current page number character, re-entered the insert current page number character, saved, exported the individual document to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (2) I took the document out of the book again, exported the document to .idml, saved as new .indd with new name, exported to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (3) I started up my old ID version, opened the old version of this document, exported to .inx, closed, opened .inx in ID 5.5, saved as new .indd with new name, exported to pdf and it worked fine. Put it back in the book, save, export, and it's wrong. (4) I moved the document up in the book order, putting it above a document that has correctly numbered pages, saved, exported to pdf, and this document was still wrong, but the one that has been numbered correctly all along is still correct. (5) I've compared settings for this document to others that number correctly and cannot find any difference.
It's like the page numbers get hung on "2" when I export the book, but only in the last two-thirds of the book. Sorry it's so lengthy, but I hope this description of my problem is understandable. Any advice, other than going back to my old version documents and starting over?
Thanks for your time and for all the awesome information this forum provides!

Mr. Spier
Right after I posted my question, I saw a post from last year where somebody had similar problems. (I cringed because I spent almost 3 days researching this problem and never ran across that post; thanks for not scolding me for posting a semi re-run.) I decided to try one of the easier solutions: I opened the problem document from the book panel, went to the master page and deleted the text box containing the page number, copied the page number box from a document that worked correctly, and pasted it into the problem document. Saved that doc, closed, saved book, exported to pdf, and it worked!! The page number problem was fixed. I went back and did the same thing for the other problem documents and they all number correctly now.
Probably not the best way, but for now this will fix it; I may have to do it again next time I add to the book. Although I didn't follow your instructions, I'll mark this as answered since it's working now. If it keeps giving me problems, I'll try the .inx export/new book route.
thanks for your time

Problem with master page text frame

I am using ID 4 on a Mac with Snow Leopard 10.6.6. I have created a master with facing pages and master text frame. But the pages based on that master do not have any text frames showing. When I go to Document Setup the Master Text Frame checkbox is ticked, but the tick and the words "Master Text Frame" are greyed out.
I have deleted and reinstalled ID4 and have renamed the InDesign Defaults and InDesing SavedData preference files but no improvement.
I have to place or copy and paste quite a few pages and don't want to create text frames for every page.

Do you mean CS2, version 4, or CS4, version 6? My guess is the former since that seems to behave exactly as you describe with the master frame option inaccessible after you've set up the file. In CS2 the master frame is there, but you don't see it on the document page if it is the same size as the margin guides because they obscure the frame edge. If the Ctrl (Cmd) + Shift + Click in the frame area you should see it become visible as it is overridden and selected.
Aside from that, everything in the first two responses is dead on. If the master frame is the size of the margin guides, it's totally superfluous for normal work and more of a hindrence than a help.

Help With Master Pages

Hi all -
I'm more of a finance guy who has been given the task to design a PDF with forms - so please excuse my naivete as designing isn't my strong point.
For some reason now, my Master Page is showing up in the middle of my document, between two forms. In the Hierarchy, the Master Page is still on top, but when I view it in Acrobat or scroll down in LiveCycle, I'm seeing a blank page in the middle of my two forms. Any ideas what might be causing that and how I can correct the problem?
When I started, I just kept adding a new blank page and adding my form fields/text fields/objects/text. The document is now about 30 pages long.
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and LiveCycle Designer 8.3
My thanks in advance for any help!

Problem with Master Pages Incorrectly Formatting

I have an employee whose master pages are not opening up correctly. Every time she opens up a blank In Design file, then selects to open up the Master Pages, her fonts are incorrect on several of the master pages and some of the sizes are incorrect. This error does not occur when I hope the Master Pages or when my other employee opens up the Master Pages. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Your question is a good one. I was taught to always open up a blank In Design file, then import the master pages, so as to not accidentally re-save over the original master pages. We use the master pages as templates for projects we work on daily. It would seem easier to just open up the master pages, save as, then start working, which is what she's been doing for the time being. We do have back ups of our master pages. Just we were trained on one process, and it's challenging to break up or change that already inherent process.
I'll look into seeing if she has any default styles set up on her system that could be the cause of her problems.
Many thanks for your assistance.

Working with master pages and page layout, what I have been doing wrong

I have worked on customizing the page layout and the master pages for a couple of site collections.
But now I read two restrictions which I was not following 100%:-
I should avoid directly modifying any default templates, and instead of that I should take a copy and modify the copy. So that any future updates will not override my modifications.
Also I should avoid directly modifying the .aspx files, and instead of that I should edit the html file which will automatically reflect on the .aspx files.
So currently I have these cases inside my SharePoint sites:-
Inside my enterprise wiki site collection, I have being modifying the Enterprisewiki.aspx page layout, for example I added new columns such as Page title and I remove the page rating, also the chnaged the color and format for the page fields.
Inside my team site I took a copy of the seatle.master master page (I name it seatle_copy.master)and I apply my modification to the seatle_copy.master directly and not inside the .html file. Even I do not have a html version for the modified seatle_copy.master?
So can anyone advice how I can fix these two issues. For the first issue how I can make sure that my modifications to the EnterPriseWiki.aspx page layout will not get override during any future update.
also how I can generate an html version for my current seatle_copy.master file so that I can modify the seatle_copy.html instead of the seatle_copy.master in the future?
Please can anyone advice?

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.

Problem with master page

Can anyone help me? I'm under the impression that if I change a text box on my master page A all the other text boxes on the other pages marked A will similarly change. Similarly, the layers on the master page should be reflected on the other pages.
Except they aren't.
I had to go through all my double page spreads to change the size of the text boxes, and cannot get the layer order on my master page to be reflected on the other pages.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you today -- I'm trying to repair windows on my house at the same time as I do forum stuff, and I'm racing the weather.
As near as I can tell you aren't actually using any of the master objects on Master A except the page markers, and you've detached that on page 3 and overridden on another page to bring them in front of the background (which is not in the frame from the master page).
Here is what I would do:
First add margin and column guides to the master page, and a bleed to the document to get a bleed guide for your background. Your margin and column guides should be set so they enclose the two rectangles you drew to hold the text. Delete the rectangles for the text. You don't need them and they'll probably continue to cause trouble. If you need to resize the text frames, enable Layout Adjustment, then change the margin and column guides on the master page. Text frames snapped to the guides will resize to match the new guides.
I'd get rid of the rectangle for the background image, too, unless you plan on putting a background on every page. It's also unnecessary, and annoying, for use on only a few pages. Add a new layer and move the page numbers up onto that so they will appear in front of any background images.
If you want to Place text, you can autoflow without the master frames (but if you really want master frames, make them text frames, not rectangles, and thread them on the master pages from left to right). ID will create a frame the width of the column guides where you click, and it will extend downward to the bottom margin guide from the place where you click. If you hold Shift to autoflow, the additional threaded frames will fill the columns from top margin to bottom margin.
If you want to Paste text, draw the first frame, then paste. Pick up the overset and auto-flow into the next column.

Dynamically Hiding a Master Page

Dear All,
I have two master pages.
Is it possible to hide the master pages dynamically?
If by FormCalc/javascript, kindly embed the code.
Regards,
Prosenjit.

You can hide the master page depending on any condition you have. But there is one clean rule. If your master page doesn't want to get printed then content area of that master page should not contain any data. It means even if you hide all the data in the content area, your whole master page ( including its instances i.e overflown pages) will be hidden.
For that you have to create a text field in your layout and drag and drop it in the content area of the master page which you want to hide. The text field acts like a flag whether or not to hide the master page. If 'X' then hide. Else do not hide. The value of the flag field will be decided while coding in the interface itself based on your condition. Then wrap the data of the content area including your flag field in a sub form. Do not forget to hide the flag field after wrapping it in the sub form because you don't want to show this on the page if that page is displayed by any chance.
Finally click on the whole wrapped sub form. Write below Form calc script in events Initialization, Form Ready and Layout Ready.
Here the HIDEPAGE_FLAG is nothing but your flag field.
if ( $.HIDEPAGE_FLAG == "X" ) then
$.presence = "hidden"
endif
This code hides your whole sub form . It means there will be no data shown in the content area and the Adobe framework doesn't print that specific master page(and all its instances). :-)
