Master Page Saving problem

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.

Master Page Template problems

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.

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.

Master / detailed saving problem

Hi
I create one master datablock and two detailed datablocks ( on tabs ). The viewing is ok but
when I every form (master + 2 x detailed) and i try to save (commit) I get this error message:
FRM-40508 : Unable to insert record.
But when I fill only a master and save and then fill detailed and save - everything is ok
So I think that the problem is FKs in detailed datablocks, but I don't know how to solve this problem.
Any idea?
Thanks, Kamillo.

Thanks for that tip, like I thought a foreign key value has no matching primary key value.
Error:
Wrong SQL query
INSERT INTO TELEADRESY(ID,ID_K,PHONE,CODE,ADDRESS,CITY,COUNTRY) VALUES (:1,:2,:3,:4,:5,:6,:7)
ORA-02291: integrity constraint (KAMIL.SYS_C005181) violated - parent key not found
But i don't know how to commit master form before detailed ?
[TELEADRESY is detailed and it has FK reference to master_table.PK]
thanks kamillo

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.

Thanks Steve
I trashed the two preference files as instructed.
Expoerted the file to IDML.
Opened the IDML file and saved it as an ID file.
The problem still exist.

Master Detail module returns to Master page after Detail record saved

Using Oracle Designer Editor version 10.1.2.0.2 I have generated a Web PL/SQL package
set up as a Master/Detail where the Master and Detail records appear in separate windows.
The Master window contains multi-records each with a link to the related Detail records.
The user clicks on the Detail link and the window that appears will allow the user to insert
a new Detail record. Once the user clicks the Save button I need the Detail window to disappear
and the focus returned to the Master records preferably after a new query is performed.
What are the steps I need to perform to navigate back to the Master page and close the Detail
page?
Thanks,
Mark

The simple answer is that to do exactly what you want would take some fundamental changes to the way the framework works. The actionInsert procedure does what it does - it saves the changes and redisplays the form. You can do post-generation changes to make it do something else, like return to the Master, but I'd advise against it.
But if you want a way to return to the Master window, where the user clicks a button or link on the detail form after saving changes, that we can do. Just make a note of the URL that does the initial display of the Master page - probably my_module_name$.startup. Go into the detail module component, and click the User Text tab. Then at Text Location, "Bottom of View Form" (or Top if you want the link there) add for a link:
htf.anchor('my_module_name$.startup','Return to Master')Or for a button:
htf.formOpen('my_module_name$.startup','GET')||htf.formsubmit('Return to Master')||htf.formCloseYou may need to set the SECECS preference for this module to "No" to get this to work.
An alternative to my method is to define an Action Item in the module that does a navigation. I often am linking directly to the View form for a master table, rather than a record list, as you are, and Action Items don't work well for that, but one might work fine for you.

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.

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.

Problem to change the master page height using javascript

Hi everyone,
I've been trying it but no luck... appreciate any helps possible.. Thanks!
I've a masterpage called 'UILayout':
Long(Height)=100mm, Short(Width)=100mm
I've a button click event with the script to set the Long to 160mm:
====================================
//display current height
var curHeight = xfa.form.form1.pageSet.UILayout.medium["long"];
xfa.host.messageBox("Current Height = " + curHeight);
//set height to 160mm
xfa.form.form1.pageSet.UILayout.medium["long"]="160mm";
//relayout the pageArea
xfa.layout.relayoutPageArea(0);
====================================
Doesn't work, I wrote another button click event to retrieve the height, and it returned 160mm. But the layout just doesn't refresh with the changed height....i'm using LC Designer 8.2, form saved as Dynamic XML PDF , compability set to 7.0.5, view in Acrobat Pro 7.1. Thanks...

I do not think you will be able to adjust the Master page size as it is tied to the Content Area size as well. I tried to adjust the pageisze and the content size but it was ignored. I can get at the properties to change them but that is it.

When i put firefox in offline mode, and then click on pages saved in history , it can't load any pages or any images. i put cach size to 250mb but the problem is the same, it saves history for two months, but can't load pages.

Hi there,
When I inspect your site in browser tools, I'm getting 404 errors from your page:

In general, you are correct - but also your server does need to be properly configured (and those errors above lead me to think it may not be) to serve the file types that your uploading - but it could be something else entirely. Can you zip up your composition folder, upload it to your Creative Cloud files, set it to share, and then post a link here so I can download it? If you'd rather not share it publicly, can you PM me with a link to your composition files?
Thanks,

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

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.

Kevin's Koffee Kart Master Page Problem

I'm working through Chapter 3 of 'Adobe Muse - Classroom in a book'. Chapter entitled 'Working with Master Pages'.
At the end of the lesson I'm creating a duplicate master, calling it 'MasterFlash' and deleting the Koffee Kart logo. When I apply this master to the Home page and Preview Site In Browser, I encounter a larger header area on my home page, that pushes the rest of the page down.
Is this supposed to happen? If so, I don't understand why.
Many thanks for any advice or help in advance.

Sorry for the delay. No, the Header marked is where is should be.
It seems it has rectified itself but I find the same thing happening on other pages when I Preview them - especially when there's no page specific content on that page.
Has anyone else had problems and glitches with Preview mode?
