Get current page or page of selected item

Hello,
I' d like get the current page in Indesign or (if this is not possible) the page of a selected object.
How could I implement this?
var page = app.selection[0].page;
does not work.
Thanks and kind regards,
mannyk

Another way getting that done is based upon what is your current
selection.
var myPg=getPage(app.selection[0]);
alert (myPg.name);
function getPage(theObj)
if (theObj.constructor.name == "Page") return theObj;
if (theObj.constructor.name == "Character" || theObj.constructor.name ==
"Paragraph")
return getPage(theObj.parentTextFrames[0]);
if (theObj.constructor.name == "Application")
// Frame is on an unexpected place...
alert ("Can't able to find the page");
exit(0);
return getPage(theObj.parent);

Can I extract the page number of the selection item

Hi,
I want to extract the page number of the selected item in my document
Is it possible?
my script will be executed out from InDesign by another application
please help me

Yes, that's right! I read it so wrong!
In CS5 there is new property:
var mySel = app.selection[0];
var mySelPage = mySel.parentPage;
alert(mySelPage);
Hope that helps.

How to get current application and page references

Hi,
I have buttons (to print and download in PDF, CSV, XLS) on several pages... at the moment I am using following code to get them working...
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=31815:3:&SESSION.:PDF
which means that on every page I need to put the reference in hard coding... is there a way to replace page number and application ID with a reference (similar to what I've done above to the session ID)... something like this
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=REF_APP_ID:REF_PAGE_ID:&SESSION.:PDF
Thanks

Hi,
Use substitution strings. And you do not need write whole URL

Oh....well in that case you will need to do something like this:
http://[!--$SERVER_NAME--]/[!--$ssGetServerRelativeUrl(siteId,nodeId)--][!--$if isSecondaryPage eq 1--][!--$region1--][!--$endif--]
region1 would be the region for the main content, you may have renamed it to something else.
There is another way to do this which I think would be easier, if you append ?IsJava=1 to the end of the URL you will see a page that will display the local data properties.
One of the variables you want to look for is *'siteRelativeUrl'* if you use this there will be no need to check if the page you are on is a secondary page.
It would look something like this:
http://[!--$SERVER_NAME--][!--$siteRelativeUrl--]

Get artboard of selected item

I have script where I select items on multiple artboard but I can't seem to get get active art board of the selected item. Is this possible?
each artboard has a text item and I would like them in the same position on each of their own artboards that they are already one. right now it adjusts them all to one artboard. here is what I have so far
doc = app.activeDocument;
for(i = 0; i < selection.length; i++){
    var firstItemPosition = doc.selection[0].position;
    doc.selection[i].position = firstItemPosition;
    var activeArtboardIndex = doc.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex();
    alert(activeArtboardIndex);

hmm it seems it doesn't work the way that I thought it might. It still always positions items based on first artboard even when you set:
idoc.artboards.setActiveArtboardIndex(i)
I tried to implement it like this, any idea what I might be doing wrong?
// return each selected item's artboard index

Query a table using Multi Select Item

Hi everyone!
I got a page where I have this multiselect item, and I want to query a table using its values.
For example: The Multiselect item has this values: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10
And I want to query every person who has ID_CLASS 1,4,7 and 9 by selecting those IDs from the list, and when I click que Consult button the Report displays those persons.
Whowever I can't accomplish this, I was trying to find a post about this without success.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks!!

Hi,
This is my problem, I select 2 or more options in the multiple select item, then after I click the "Consult" buttom it submits the page, however only 1 option is highlighted. For example I choose the first two options, then I click Consult and the page is submitted. After that only one of the 2 options are selected, but I need to get the 2 options highlighted as selected items.
If I clear cache I think I'll lost everything. (selected items)
Thanks again!

Shuttle: How to reference selected items on the right side

This seems so easy so why am I struggling so much.
I have a simple shuttle:
1 Adam
2 Baker
3 Charlie
4 Delta
5 Echo
6 Foxtrot
Select Name D, UserID R from UserTable
The values are stored in a VARCHAR2 field MULTI_USER (for example 1:2:4:6)
When I want to get the names back from the selected item, how do I reference the colon-separated items?
For example:
Select Name from UserTable
where UserID in (select MULTI_USER from MULTI_USER where MULTI_USER_ID = 1)
should return:
Adam
Baker
Delta
Foxtrot
Why is this so difficult for me to figure out?
Thank you in advance

How do i get current active or selected page item's reference

Hi all,
How do i get current active or selected page item's reference .
Please help me

You can implement a selection suite for your need, this selection suite will be placed into the kLayoutSuiteBoss.
In this selection suite place a method to give you the UIDRef of the selected pageitem, which you can get by using the method "GetUIDList" of the "ILayoutTarget" interface.

Hi All,
I have InDesign CS5.5. I have a document with more than 50 pages and each page has unique image and the description for image.
I need to export each page as JPEG. but i don't want to export full page. i need only the items on each page. So i go to each page and select all the items and export. while exporting i use the same name of the image used in each page.
I tried writing a script but it exports only the active page. i do not know how to navigate to the next page and export.
is some one can help.
below is my script.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myNumPages = myDoc.pages.length; //get the number of pages
var myFilePath = myDoc.filePath; //get the file path
var myRectangle = app.activeWindow.activePage.allGraphics; //get the graphics of the active page
var myPageName = app.activeWindow.activePage.name; //get the page name.
           if(myRectangle.length >1)
                    alert("the page has more than one image. Delete the other image to export");
                    exit();
var myImageName = myRectangle[0].itemLink.name; //get the name of the image
app.select(NothingEnum.NOTHING);
for(var i=0; i<myNumPages; i++)
          app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.high;
          app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;
          app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegExportRange = ExportRangeOrAllPages.exportRange;

function mySelectedItems()
          var myObj = new Array;
          myObj = app.activeWindow.activePage.pageItems;
          try
                              app.activeWindow.activePage.groups.add(myObj);

Getting the number of pages in excel sheet or current page using OLE2

Hi,
I fill an excel sheet using CLIENT_OLE2 from Oracle 10g form,
I want to get the number of pages in sheet or the number of current page,
after searching for solution I found this example on VB:
Sub GetPageCount()
Dim iView As Integer
Dim iHorizontalBreaks As Integer
Dim iVerticalBreaks As Integer
Dim iPageCount As Integer
On Error Resume Next
'go to the range and set PrintArea to the range name
Application.Goto Reference:="ABC"
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = Selection.Address
'turn monitor flickering/updating off
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'remember current View setting
iView = Application.ActiveWindow.View
'refresh the print area
Application.ActiveWindow.View = xlPageBreakPreview
'set view back
Application.ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView
'turn monitor flickering/updating back on
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
'calculate the # of pages
iHorizontalBreaks = ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks.Count + 1
iVerticalBreaks = ActiveSheet.VPageBreaks.Count + 1
iPageCount = iHorizontalBreaks * iVerticalBreaks
How can I implement this using CLIENT_OLE2?
Any assistance would be welcome.
Thanks

IF all the panels were exactly the same width (highly doubtful for a roll-fold) and IF ID supported 12 pages per spread (it doesn't) then it might be less work to make 12-page spreads and place the PDF twice, but since I think there's a really good chance you'll need to adjust the positioning for at least 22 pages, that seems doomed.
I wouldn't even bother, in this case, with facing pages. Presumably they want this for the screen, so there's nothing gained from facing pages or multiple columns. You can either make the file with 24 pages and place the PDF 12 times for each page of the PDF, or place each page of the PDF once in a 2-page file, then copy the pages and reposition the image in the frame for each panel. The big thing here is to put the PDF into frames that are the same size as the new page (so they get cropped down to one-panel on each page). Then it's just a case of sliding the the PDF left or right in the frame to expose the next panel.

IS-U print workbench - User exit - to get current page number

Hi,
I have a doubt in IS-U print workbench where in I need to get the current page number which is being processed inside the user exit of the application form.
I have a user exit called Z_EXIT_150 and here I have a subroutine which is inside the LOOP DOC_ITEM ENDLOOP.
Inside the subroutine, I need to get the current script page number.
There is an option of getting the current page as &PAGE& inside the Script but I need to know the page number inside the exit.
Do you have any idea of getting the current page number?
Thanks and Regards,
Sakthi.

Hi Sakthi,
I have also had this problem while working in IS-U Print Workbench but was also unable to solve. I tried looking into the output_text that is called when reaching an object that references SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES but I too could not find a way to save PAGE to a variable for later use.
The only idea I can think of, although I have not tried, would be to place some sort of counter variable in the BUILD_DOCUMENTS and increment the counter each time there is a successful printout of a header logo or some other object that you expect to see printed on each new page - that way maybe you can determine later in the exit processing what page # you are currently in.
I hope this has helped some. I would be really interested to hear if someone else has a solution of how to access items in the SAPSCRIPT structure from outside of the SAPscript code.
Regards,
Geoff

How do I get to the start page when I'm not on it currently? there used to be a buttom for it

I recently updated to version 6.0.2 of Firefox. This version doesn't seem to have a "home page" button. How do I get to the home page when I'm currently not on it? I shouldn't have to press the "backpage" button until I get there or type it in to get there.

You can find the toolbar Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.
You can drag the Home button from its current position at the right to the previous position at the left of the location bar if you do not like that new position.

How to get Current Page(region) Name/ID in OA 11i

We need to get the name or id of the current page, and based on the pagename, we retrieve configuration to launch specific web service.
pageContext.getPageLayoutBean().getPageFunctionName() is no sufficient. Since one page function sometimes contain multiple pages (eg, each individual page maps to one train node, all the train nods maps to one page function).
are there OA apis that I can use to get the Current Page name in controller?
I tried pageContext.getParameter("CurrrentPage") , it works great for iExpense application. However, in iRrecuiment, the parameter "CurrentPage" was not set at all.
Please advise.

First let me explain what I want to achieve:
I am writing one region (choice list displays the webservices based on the container region) along with the controller, and that region will be embed inside any OA application pages via OA personalization. On the runtime, I need to detect the current page (container region) name. Then, based on the configuration stored in my table, I need to query out the web services endpoint to call.
Now let me answer your question:
For example, OIEMAINPAGE.xml (OIEMainPageContainer) contains OIEReview, OIEDetail, OIEGeneral, etc, each inner region will be rendered as a page when you click the train node or link of other page. (from end user perspective)
If I call pageContext.getPageLayoutBean().getPageFunctionName() on those inner regions, it will return OIEMAINPAGE, so I can not figure out which region are rendered (displayed) on runtime. (My region are embed inside OIEMAINPAGE pagelayout region )
If I call pageContext.getParameter("CurrrentPage"), it will return (OIERview, OIEDetail etc), which are exactly what I want.
However, I have to make sure my code works for other OA application, and I already noticed that some application does not set parameter CurrentPage, instead they may set parameter Page. So, I want to know if there is API provided by OA or fnd team to return current container region (page), very similar to Form Block name.
In form, One Form function could have multiple Blocks, and they are not displayed at same time.
In OA, one function could have multiple inner container region, and they are not displayed at same time.
In form, One Form function could have mutlple Blocks, and they are not displayed at same time.
In OA, one funciton could have mulple container region, and they are not displayed at same time.
