Pages9 hyperlinking and TOC in templates

Is adding a Table of Contents impossible when using a template in pages. I've watched the videos and read the instructions (looks simple) but can not hyperlink or create a TOC. Looks easy but when I build a file using one of Page's templates, all the choices (Sections button in the toolbar, Header 1 and Header 2, select page numbers, etc. in the inspector panel) are not there or greyed out? However if I open a Word Processing document everything works as far as bookmarks, hyperlinks and building a table of contents. In apple's video for Pages they are doing it on one of their Template styles.
Any help would be much appriciated. Thank you.

Green Grocery newsletter. Actually to no avail I have tried them all, to see if I could get it to work in any of them. Thanks for your help.
I haven't counted, but about half the templates are Page Layout and the rest are Word Processing. All the templates in the Word Processing section of the template chooser will allow TOC.

  • How To Change Hyperlinks And Nav Menu Colors

    I continue to see people stating that it's impossible to change hyperlink colors and navigation menu colors until after you publish your site. This is not true. It's quite easy to update your templates with the colors YOU want and when you update the template, you never have to mess with any post-processing. You make a new page? Your colors are already there.
    I've gone over this before in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3288533&#3288533
    But I'll go over the quick and dirty version here as well. Those who want more detail can post a question and I'll elaborate.
    First, do you know how to get into iWeb's inner folders? You right click or control click on your iWeb icon and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu.
    Step 2
    Once you've done that, you'll see a new Finder window that shows a folder called Contents. Open that and then open the next folder Resources. Within Resources there's a folder named Shared. Open the Shared folder.
    You're now looking at your collection of iWeb template files. You'll notice that each template has seven individual page files - each file defines the layout and styles for the page for which its named. This is actually one of the two places where you'll find the data/images that make up your iWeb pages. This location only contains the images. Now I'll show you were to find the data file.
    So you're currently here:
    /Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/Shared/
    You want to go here:
    /Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/English.lproj
    Now if you speak another language and your Mac's system language is set to the language you speak, substitue English with that language. If your system is set to English regardless of the language you speak, and you use the English templates, then stick with the English folder.
    When you're in the English.lproj folder, you will see seven sub-folders and one file named TemplatesInfo.plist. TemplatesInfo.plist is the file that registers the templates and tells iWeb what you've got in your collection. But we don't care about that file for now. We're after the template data files.
    The seven sub-folders are aptly named for each of the seven page-types as you can see. Open the About Me folder.
    Now you will see an "about me.webtemplate" file for every template you have in your collection. Good job. You've learned something new. Move on to Step 3.
    Step 3
    If you haven't decided yet, now's the time to decide which template you'd like to update. If you're just along for the ride to learn something new, no worries. We won't do anything you can't undo.
    Pick a template file now. Perhaps you chose the White template, or:
    White About Me.webtemplate
    Right click or control click on this file and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. This will launch a new Finder window that displays the contents of the White About Me.webtemplate file.
    You will likely see a handful of different files, but the file you want is the one named Index.xml.gz.
    Index.xml.gz is the brain behind the template. Within this file are all the settings for the page you chose and it's really not hard to find what you want and change it. So let's take a peek.
    Step 4
    Double-click the file Index.xml.gz. This will reveal a new file named Index.xml. You might have to scroll down in your Finder window to see it. Rename Index.xml.gz to Index.xml.gz.backup in case you screw things up, you have your original.
    Now, open Index.xml with TextEdit. Do not open the file with a code editor unless you have already formatted the file.
    When the file opens, you'll notice it's one gigantic jumbled mess of stuff. No worries, we'll straighten that out. All you need to do is a find/replace.
    Find all instances of: ><
    And replace with:
    <
    The line break is important so maybe just copy the lines right out of this post. When you replace all of those, the file will be far more easy to view.
    Assuming you've completed that step. You're basically ready to make your change and test it out! Not hard ey?
    So let's say you want to change your hyperlink color from grey to blue. Search for this string:
    BLDefaultHyperlinkCharacterStyleIdentifier0
    When you find that string, you will see a few lines below it, two lines that look similar to this:
    <sf:fontColor>
    <sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r=".8" sfa:g="1" sfa:b="0.4" sfa:a="1"/>
    This is how the template specifies color. It's RGB100. Your Mac came with a program called Art Director's Took Kit and that application can tell you the RGB100 values for any color you want. Tinker with that and you'll have a lot of fun with this.
    So I picked out a nice royal blue for you. The RGB100 values for it are:
    R:0 G:25 B:100
    What you need to do is update the color line to match those values:
    <sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0" sfa:g=".25" sfa:b="1" sfa:a="1"/>
    Notice that you specify these in terms of a percentage, where 25 became .25 and 100 became 1.
    Step 5
    Save your file. It's time to see your work in action. Open iWeb if it isn't open already and create a new page using the template you've just altered. If you altered the White About Me page, then select that and create the new page.
    It there are hyperlinks already on this page, you should already see that they reflect your new color. If there aren't any hyperlinks, then type some text and create one. You should see your new link color right away!
    Now if you don't see the new color, either you picked the wrong page or you neglected to rename the Index.xml.gz file a few steps back. If you did not rename that file, then it's still in control of your template. Rename it now and try again.
    If you don't like that color, simply swap back to the TextEdit page and change it until you like it - switching back and forth between the file and iWeb to view your changes. Once you're happy, make note of the color you chose and make the change for the remaining six pages in the tempalte you selected. Just be sure to follow the steps for each page you edit. If you fail to see your change, again, check to see that you renamed Index.xml.gz.
    Side Notes
    For the more technical, rather than editing an existing template, you might want to duplicate and rename a template. This essentially creates a brand new one. If you're pretty good within Finder then go for it, just be sure that you duplicate the files in both locations:
    /Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/Shared/
    /Applications/iWeb/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/...
    Choose a unique name for the duplicated template and change every single file so that the new name replaces the old one. You would have to register this new template in the TemplatesInfo.plist file as well, but I'm not going to get into that here.
    The thread I referenced at the top has all kinds of search terms to find the other hyperlink styles (rollover and visited) and all the navigation menu styles plus a bunch of other fun stuff.
    Now, it seems long, but that's because I wrote it well. The shortest version of this I've ever written was two sentences, but that was for a UNIX geek and he got it. It's just as easy for you, but I write it out so that anyone can do this, because anyone can. It's just not hard.
    If you have questions about any of the steps, go ahead and ask.

    Good. Okay here's how to apply a background color to your nav bar buttons. For example, my Aerolite template sets the selected page to a black background color. The rollover effect uses a gradient fill. I'll describe both of those here.
    First, here are the navigation menu search terms:
    navbaritem-style-normal-default
    navbaritem-style-rollover-default
    navbaritem-style-selected-default
    navbar-pargraph
    The first three set the button effects and text colors. The last one there sets the font, font size and other paragraph styles.
    To change the selected page button background color, or gradient or image, first search for it using the search term above. Start from the top of the file because there are two instances of those terms, one where you can set the values, the other is only reference to the first and does not allow you to change settings.
    When you find the search term, you might want to insert an empty line above it to help separate it from the rest of the code. You can also insert an empty line below the section. The end of this style ends with:
    </sf:navbar-item-style>
    Be careful not to mix that up with </sf:navbaritem-character-style>
    Now, within this section, you'll find all kinds of settings... stroke, fill, character styles, etc. Notice you can change font color in there. But for this demo, you want to find the section that looks like this:
    <sf:fill>
    <sf:null/>
    </sf:fill>
    I'm assuming you're editing an Apple template that does not already have a fill effect. If it does have one, then your example might not look exactly like that.
    To apply a color fill, change those three lines to these lines:
    <sf:fill>
    <sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0" sfa:g="0" sfa:b="0" sfa:a="1"/>
    </sf:fill>
    You can see that we've inserted the line that specifies color - something you should be familiar with by now. Here you can specify the color that will become the background of your nav bar button. This example specifies black. Easy no?
    If you would prefer a gradient fill, then replace those three lines with this:
    <sf:fill>
    <sf:angle-gradient sfa:ID="SFRAngleGradient-1111" sf:opacity="1" sf:type="linear" sf:angle="0">
    <sf:stops sfa:ID="NSMutableArray-1111">
    <sf:gradient-stop sfa:ID="SFRGradientStop-1111" sf:fraction="0">
    <sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0.40" sfa:g="0.40" sfa:b="0.30" sfa:a="1"/>
    </sf:gradient-stop>
    <sf:gradient-stop sfa:ID="SFRGradientStop-2222" sf:fraction="1">
    <sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0.64" sfa:g="0.66" sfa:b="0.54" sfa:a="1"/>
    </sf:gradient-stop>
    </sf:stops>
    </sf:angle-gradient>
    </sf:fill>
    Now, don't panic Here's what this is. The first line allows you to specify the angle of your gradient. Play with the numbers from 0 to 359 until you have what makes sense for your design.
    Then, you will see two familiar lines again - the lines that allow you to specify color! The first line is the first color of your gradient and the second color is the second color of your gradient. That's all there is to it!
    SECRET: It might be possible to add additional colors, not just two. Do you see the part sf:fraction="0" and sf:fraction="1"? These are gradient stops. I'm willing to bet that if you inserted a thrid gradient stop with a fraction setting of .5, you'd have a three-color gradient!
    <sf:gradient-stop sfa:ID="SFRGradientStop-3333" sf:fraction=".5">
    <sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-rgb-color-type" sfa:r="0" sfa:g="0.25" sfa:b="4" sfa:a="1"/>
    </sf:gradient-stop>
    I have never tried this - it just occurred to me as I was looking at this code. Big prize for the first person to prove the theory
    NOTE: You will notice that the number 1111 and 2222 are within this code. iWeb XML relies on identification tags here and there. It's nothing you really have to care about except if you insert gradient fills in more than one area. Those numbers need to be unique so if you paste that code in for your selected page button and then paste it again for your rollover buttons, you'll need to update the numbers for the second button. Any numbers are fine. Use 3333 and 4444 for the second set, 5555 and 6666 for the thrid and so on. I often just type 4345781476 - doesn't matter.

The class of "row" was just an example - you don't need this unless of course you want to. To create a general style for all links regardless of where they are on the page, you simply add the below to your stylesheet:
a { /* styles here */ }
a:visited, a:active { /* styles here */ }
a:hover { /* styles here */ }
If you want to only color the links within #maincontent, you would add the below to your stylesheet (this would go further down your stylesheet than the above reference):
#maincontent a { /* styles here */ }
#maincontent a:visited, #maincontent a:active { /* styles here */ }
#maincontent a:hover { /* styles here */ }
The div you specified in your message has an id, not a class.
.maincontent styles class="maincontent" in the HTML
#maincontent styles id="maincontent" in the HTML
You can add multiple classes to divs, but not multiple id's. Just separate them by a space.
<div class="maincontent row"></div>

  • Hyperlink and Report Parameters

    Hi,
    I have a webi report which has drill filters. I have a drill filter on Month_Name_And_Year column. When I select the drill filter it gives me the report for that particular month_year. In the webi I also have a hyperlink to a nre report which is a detailed report. When the user clicks on the hyperlink I would want them to open the report  for the drill filter value that I select. I believe i need to pass the drill filter value as a paramter and how would I be able to open the detail report for the drill filter that I have selected.
    the code as a hyperlink is as follows:
    ="<a href=http://dev/businessobjects/enterprise115/InfoView/scripts/opendocument.aspx?sType=wid&sDocName=A%20WEBI%20Curd%20Installations&sWindow=New&sPath=[Breed],[Portal Analytics],[Supplemental Services]>"+[Number Of Curd Sales]+"</a>"
    I would require guidance what changes i wil have to make it at hyperlink and the detail report level to have it in sync with the summary report.
    Thank You,

  • In Pages 5, Maverick, How do I stop automatic conversation of URLs to hyperlinks and seeing them underlined

    There used to be a preference setting in Pages.  Now it seems gone in Pages 5.   So how do I stop automatic conversation of URLs to hyperlinks and seeing them underlined in text.  Sometimes I want it, but not always.

    The preference setting to turn off links is gone. When you enter content that triggers link detection, a link character style gets applied. Right-click on the link, choose Edit Link from the menu, and then Remove.

  • Allow "Signing" and "Creation of Template Pages" in Reader XI

    Hi.
      I have created a form in Adobe Pro XI that allows the (Reader XI) user to insert additional templates pages by clicking "button X".  The form also provides the user a Digital Signature field to sign the document.
      In order for the user to be able to use the Digital Signature field the file must be saved as a "Reader Extended PDF" with the "Enable More Tools" option.  This however, disables the addional templates option.
      Is there a way to allow for both "Signing" and "Creation of Template Pages" in a Reader document?

  • Document Assembly and Creation of Template Pages?

    What do “document assembly” and “creation of template pages” mean?
    I am a print graphic designer who usually handles the printing for a particular client who does long reports. I also give them a low resolution PDF for email circulation and posting on their website. They are now want to use the PDF for other purposes such as creating PowerPoint presentations that they will do in house. Therefore they have asked me to unlock all the security options -- that quite frankly I never even dealt with. Specifically they want to “allow document assembly, commenting, signing, and creation of template pages.” Assembly, commenting and signing seem innocuous, but will document assembly and template pages have significance for me as a graphic designer? I'm not sure what these two functions are.

    “document assembly” means the combination of documents.
    “creation of template pages” is for the creation of template pages for forms

  • Can I get rid of the underlined hyperlink and just have roll-over links?

    In iWeb 2009, can I get rid of the underlined hyperlink and just have roll-over links?

    You have to put them on the server where you are publishing your site to. Where are you hosting your site? If it's a MobileMe account then you have two options:
    1 - put the photos in a folder, name it "Pics" and put that folder in your iDisk/Pictures folder. Then use the following URL: http://homepage.mac.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/.Pictures/Pic/FileName (don't forget the period before Pictures).
    2 - put the "Pics" folder with image files in your iDisk/Web/Sites folder and use the following URL: http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/FileName.
    If you're hosting on a 3rd party server it would depend on if you're using a domain name or not. I'm not familiar with 3rd party servers so Wyodor, Ethmoid or someone that is will need to point the way.

  • Editing and changing a template in Dreamweaver

    Hi,
    I'm using Dreamweaver, v.11.0 in Windows 7.  I have a template with a bunch of web pages that use it.  When I edit and save the template, it resaves all of the pages that use it (as it should).  However, when someone who has used my site before opens one of those page, they get the page that has been previously cached, and they don't see the updated page or template.  Is there a way to save the pages so that users will always see the up-to-date template and content?
    Thanks,

    Thanks Subhadeep and Murray,
    This was very helpful in that I know there is nothing that can be done - except that for the most part, people will have restarted their browser and cleared the cache since the last time they visited this website.  And then it should not be a problem.

    Hi adobe-fm and welcome to the RH community.
    Unfortunately the opportunity to customise the look and feel of CHM files is limited. For the index, you can not have a custom image or remove the default heading. With the TOC, are you talking about a custom icon strip? Perhaps you can leave us an image of whet you are seeing. Use the following icon to do so:

    • Maybe you are looking for
