Master Page Flow Problems
I am trying to flow 4 xml documents into structured FrameMaker template that is 4 pages. The last page has 3 different master page versions. I have set the StructMasterPageMaps up to direct the page flow for the final page to the correct back page master page, depending on the value for the version attribute. The data is not flowing correctly. The master page that precedes this back master page is 2 column. If the data for this page only flows into the first column, and the second column is empty, the back page data flows into the correct version of the back master page. If the second column has data in it, the back page flows onto a new page but applies the master page used by the preceding data. It doesn’t apply the correct back master page version.
Does anyone know how I can correct this?
Michael,
It is certainly posible to map a master page to an element that does not contain text directly but is the root of a sub-hierarchy of elements. Examples include elements for a chapter or list.

1.) I have a problem with the Master Page Template when I place a Back to Top link at the bottom of the page of the Master and then generate or publish my product the link only works at the higher level. If pages in the product are under a folder or if the pages are in a different book the link does not work. I’m using the # for the Back to Top link.
2.) Another problem with the Master if you place a See Also Button on the master page you are limited on your project pages as to what you placed in the links on the Master Page. In other words if I have a project that has 30 pages and 10 chapters and I want the link to jump to chapter 3 page 5 and I only palced the 10 chapter links in the Master See Also Button I can not change the link under the See Also Button on chapter 3 page 5 with out it breaking the link to the Master Page. Is what has to be done Is place a See Also Button on each and evey page and edit the links in each and every one.
3.) Breadcrumb trail links. Why in the Design view you can not change the Breadcrumb trail links to above a graphics header if you have placed on your Master Page? If others are having problems with this just go into the HTML and place the breadcrumb section in your header section. You may have to play around with the formating of your styles to get it just right.codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
That says that anything outside of that area can't be modified, right?
Nope. It says anything outside that area is editable, i.e., it's treated as an editable region. This is the default behavior for a DW template and it allows you to place server scripting or javascript code above the <html> tag, or below the </html> tag in any child page.
Unless you are using server scripting, or are very advanced in your use of DW, you should never mess with this default setting. -
I use Master Pages in my help file. I also like to automatically save documents on closing. If a master page is being used, I get an additional dialog box to click each time I close a document asking if I want to save changes to the master page. Normally, what I do changes nothing on the master page, but I have to click this dang dialog box anyway. And since I haven't made any changes to the Master Page, the message in the dialog box is very confusing. Is there any way to get rid of this PITA query?

You might want to try creating a variable to store the URL. Then insert the variable into the footer. Configure the variable to link to the site.

thank you for your reply.
i will try your solution about the message but how about the navigation page to Welcome.jpfx when it returns GOOD?
I will try first this simple thing before im going to deep on adf. I think adf is MVC thing.Need more study first but before that i need to familiar with all LAYOUT components and the IDE itself.
thank you.

Struts/servlet page flow problem due to j2ee security
Whe I type url such as http://localhost:7777/myapp/action.do, I want to see the execution result page from this action. However the result page will always be index.jsp because j2ee security which I have a loginaction.do and its result page is index.jsp. How can I have overcome this problem.
Thanks,To give more details about the problem I have, user likes to put a URL in the browser, then press enter. User likes to see the running results. However, user is not able to see the results because j2ee security requires user log in. After sucessful login, user is going to see the index page. My question is how user be able to view his result page after login.
cheers. -
J2ee security and page flow problem
To give more details about the problem I have, user likes to put a URL in the browser, then press enter. User likes to see the running results. However, user is not able to see the results because j2ee security requires user log in. After sucessful login, user is going to see the index page. My question is how user be able to view his result page after login.
cheers.In the future, please post JSP/Servlet questions in the appropriate forum: http://forum.java.sun.com/category.jspa?categoryID=20
This is pretty simple to do:
1) set up a Filter that applies to a specific url pattern, such as " /protected/* " so that the Filter is invoked when resources within the "protected/" path get accessed
2) in the Filter code, store the user's desired path in the session scope (let's call it "loginRedirectFrom") and redirect the user to the login screen.
3) in your login servlet/jsp, after the user has been verified, redirect to the url you stored in "loginRedirectForm". -

Items are not flowing into the second master page.
Hello,
any help on this is really appreciated. this is the situation. There are two master pages. I have created a flow content subform. And within this, i have created a position content subform. Within this, i have the different fields of an item level table. There are a total of 14 records. three pages are used. And all the three are the first master page. The second master page is not being used. I have tried many ways, but could not suceed. Could any one out there suggest a way to solve this problem?Hello,
I'm facing a problem here. Within my print form I have one master page.
Basically I have a dynamic table which must be followed by a standard text.
So I've created a subform (flow content), in it I have another subform (flow content, table): in it one subform (flow content, table row) and a subform (position content with my text).
Although all the 'allow page breaks' are checked, the issue I have is that the second page is never printed... -
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. -
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. -
CS 5.5 problem with PDF links of master page TOC
Hi
Lately i moved from ID CS5 to CS5.5 working on Windows 7.
All spreads of my document are based on a master page. This mater page includes a pane with a TOC. This TOC serves as navigation pane.
When exporting the document to interactive PDF, the TOC appears on all spreads but the TOC links function well on the first spread and will not function on the next pages.
The interactive PDF export settings include: "open in full screen mode" and "buttons and Media = include all".
I made a test, and added hyperlink on the master page next to the TOC, now the TOC links turnned active on all pages but the PDF will not open in full screen although i did not change the export settings. If i remove this extra hyperlink the TOC links problem returns.
I used the same document a lot in the past (with CS5) and did not have any such problem.
Hope i managed to describe this case well.
Highly appreciate your help.

TamirThanks Steve

I created mega menu in adobe muse ( master page ) but the thing is when I preview that menu in other pages contents I already had created will overlap the menu. Is there any options that would fix that problem up. I'd like to have the menu overlap the contents. That does not happen on master page ( master page looks good ) Thank you very much.
Place the menu on its own layer above the rest of the page content.

Master page spread - data merge problem
ok - I prematurely posted b4 that I could successfully do this but am stuck with one problem that is a show stopper.
I have a master page spread [left and right pages] which has several fields which I populate on over 200 pages with data merge. I got this to work ok but teh snag is that the merge only works on teh first master page - and since InDesig automatically starts with a right hand page - this would be teh 2nd page of my spread - I can get both pages to merge data correclty but I wind up with a starting right hand page - then a left hand page facing a right hand page which is not for hte same record but the record below it. Is tehre any way aroudn this? Is tehre any way I can force inDesign to start with a left hand page?whohee - it worked - thanks a bunch - you guys in this forum are gre

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. -
CS6 master page problems with CS5.5 script
Hi.
I've an extensive script created for CS5.5, that creates 16 documents, styles them, and adds them to a book file.
Under CS6, it still works fine, creates all the necessary stylesheets and master pages, but the master page items are shifted.
I've checked the position with the Page tool, and clicked Show Master Page Overlay, and the centre of the master pages are now sitting at the centre of the spread (which is also the zero point of the ruler).
I've tried versioning for CS5.5, but I can't get it to stick (compiling simply changes CS6 to CS5").
Can anyone tell me how to correct the problem? Ideally, I'd like to append the part of my script that creates the master page. This starts thus:
set currentMaster to master spread "A-Master" of Pub00
set base name of currentMaster to "Standard Pages"
tell currentMaster
make guide with properties {orientation:vertical, location:"138mm"}
make guide with properties {orientation:vertical, location:"140mm"}
tell margin preferences of pages
set top to topMargin
set left to insideMargin
set bottom to bottomMargin
set right to outsideMargin
set column count to docColumns
set column gutter to colGutter
end tell
... and then I start creating para and character styles, and add various frames with content to the masters.
Another section to create a master starts with ...
tell currentMaster
tell page 1
... so should I use the 'tell page 1' block to alter the master overlay, or somewhere else?
Each document only has three different master pages, but I now have to open all 16, and use the Page tool to shift the master overaly, which can be pretty time consuming.
Any pointers would be most appreciated.I'm seeing this as well, but when I go to override master page items to a normal page. This code worked fine on CS5, but broke when we updated to CS6.
on override_master_page_items(p)
-- Overrides all possible master page items for a given page.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
try
-- Get the list of items to override
set i to master page items of p
set b to {}
repeat with v in i
-- Build the list of items that we will override so we can process it all at once (for speed)
try
if allow overrides of v is true then
-- Only override an item if it is in fact possible to do so.
set b to {b, v}
end if
end try
end repeat
-- Override all the items that we found above.
set overriddenItems to override b destination page p
end try
end tell
end override_master_page_items
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
