Placing Objects within Header-Footer-Main

I have not yet been able to "dope" out when the insertion of an object will be absorbed into one of the three sections of a template body or simply sit on top of the page. I build my own navigation objects by inserting a shape, color it, stroke it and insert the navigation text. These shapes cannot be imbedded into a section of the page. However a text box will float into a section and cause it to expand to meet the size. The headers and footers seem to have special properties that don't allow expansion unless the object was there to start with from the template.
Does anyone have the secret decoder ring that I could borrow?

Been there, Done that. My question remains "What are the rules for an object causing the blue border of one of the sections (when in layout mode) to turn on (glow blue) and accept the object (and expand) vs just setting the object on top of the section and overlaying what is under it in the section.
Command key! you can drag&drop objects/elements from one layer to the other while hold down Command key.
ie: add a text box, then drag it around while holding down command key, you'll see different layer will light up (with Show Layout enabled).

Is there a limit to characters in the Header/Footer section of a region?

Hi
I have a js scripts that I placed in the Header/Footer Section of a particalur reason.
It is quiet a lengthly script but when I click apply changes I get the following APEX error message.
ORA-20001: Error in DML: p_rowid=641043905163928761, p_alt_rowid=ID, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
Is this message cause by a limit on the number of characters and if so could there not be a limit on the number of characters allowed in the input box with a counter so that the user is aware that there is a limit.

Alistair,
Yes, there is a limit. May I ask why you want to put the script into the region footer or
header? I put the long code into a file on the file system and then reference it from the
page.

Gaps between header/footer and main content

This is just a guess, which is what we have to do until we can see the live page, but try changing this -

to this -
<p align="left" class="events_boldRed" style="margin-top:0;"><span class="style1">Charlie Harper Trunk Show</span></p>

Dynamic header / footer

Hi all,
I created an Adobe Form and defined on the MasterPage a header, a footer and a main area (content are) in-between. The areas were defined with a fixed size (somehow it was the only way because "fit height" and "fit width" was innactive).
Because the form is used in different countries the amount of information in the different areas is not the same. Therefore I am looking for a dynamic header and footer (and main area). That should help to optimise the space exploitation on a page. The header should grow from top of the page down, the footer bottom up and the main area fill the gap.
I know that this is a very sophisticated demand. Nevertheless, I hope that someone else had similar ideas and could solve that task.
I appreciate any help, hints and good advices which leads to a solution of my problem.
Thanks & regards,
Phil

Hi Andres,
thanks a lot for your quick answer!
In your MasterPage, add only the items that will remain static during the execution.
Every object that will behave in a dynamic manner should go in the BodyPage.
Very good hint, thanks!
What you can do is set a Subform with flowed Western Text between your Header/Footer
(Static) of your MasterPage. Within that main Subform set three more, "Western Text" as well.
One will be for your Dynamic Header, the middle one for your Main and the bottom one for your
Dynamic Footer.
I think I did not really get it! As far as I understand this works for one page...my form - when filled with data - can have more than one page!
Some questions came up when I read your solution:
1) why is the flowed content "western text" and not "top to bottom"?
2) what happens exactly with the area of the static header / footer? It's above the dynamic header and below dynamic footer -> is that space not wasted in the end?
3) The dynamic footer is directly below the main area - not necessarily at the bottom of the page!?
4) How is the "pagination" defined for each of the three dynamic areas (header / main / footer)?
I hope you'll find the time to answer my question soon!
Thanks & regards,
Phil

Misaligned header/footer in iWeb 'blog

Got designated to create my agency's website. While they wouldn't shell out the bucks for Adobe or anything similar, they did get an iMac with iWeb '09, so I've been using that. The header, footer, and navigation menu are consistent across the site with the exception of the main 'blog page and archive- the header and footer get pushed off the top and bottom margins of the page (they appear to be placed properly as the page is rendering; then when it's finished rendering, they're in the wrong spots). I've viewed it with Firefox 3.0.11 and Safari 4. Any ideas? The site is http://stephenssheriff.com ; the 'blog page is under "News". Thanks!

Something to do with the dynamic content nature of the page?
Possibly. Is the Inspector/Page/Page pane for the blog page the same as the other pages? If you go into one of the other pages and check or uncheck the lower checkbox you can see the content of the page shift slightly upward and downward. That's what made me think that pane was different for the blog page. That's the only item I can think of that would affect the page in the manner you're seeing.
FWIW I had to put that page and another in separate windows to see the difference you were referring to. It's not obvious except to the designer who looks for those sorts of inconsistencies.

Document info fields in Word won't update when placed in document header-section

Dear all,
I have a document library using 3 Content Types with metadata columns and a Word-template.
The values of these metadata columns should be displayed within the Word-documents created from content type.
So I've inserted document info fields into the Word-template to display them.
But unfortunately the placeholders are not updated when opening the document again, after metadata values had been changed e.g. by using the edit-form within the list.
From what I have seen so far, this only refers to document info fields resident in header or footer sections.
But this is where I need to place them.
Does anybody know this issue and has an idea of how to fix it?
Could VBA be of use here?
Best regards,
Ben

Hi,
Based on your description, document info fields in Word won't update when placed in document header-section.
Per my test, document info fields in Word will update when placed in document header-section.
Refer to the following article about Add SharePoint Metadata to Word Documents:
http://whitepages.unlimitedviz.com/2011/02/using-document-templates-with-lists-and-content-types-in-sharepoint/

If I misunderstanding the issue, Please offer a screenshot about your issue.

Why is my header & footer cut off by Dreamweaver?

Greetings. I would highly appreciate any help in resolving this issue.
I created a website using dreamweaver. Upon publishing it, I noticed that the header, footer, and sidebar have been cut off. I have an image in the header and footer, and only 1/4 of the image is showing on the website.
Furthermore, the second part of the sidebar, starting with the black area is supposed to extend all the way down to the bottom of the page (right on top of the footer), yet only about 1/4 of that is showing as well.
please let me know what I can do to resolve this issue.

In the header, you have your image as a background image. A BG image does not change the height of the container, so the only thing that is giving your height is your use of
<p></p>
which is not the correct way to go.
Set a new rule in your .header for a min-height of however large your background image is, that is will solve the header/image issue.
In the side nav, change the background color to your menu color, see if that solves your problem, if not a better option would be to use a faux column, you can read about them here.
http://www.paulgdesigns.com/faux-columns.php
Your footer you have the image set to 25 px in height, and that appears to be what you are getting.

Header/Footer Appearing on Title Page

Hello,
In RoboHelp 11, every time I generate Printed Documentation (Word), my master page header/footer appears on the Title Page. It doesn't appear on RoboHelp's default title page, but it appears when I use a topic as a Title Page or when I navigate to a Word doc Title Page in Print Document Section Layout.
In the Print Document General - Content section, Multiple Header/Footer, <Default Title Page>, I select <None> for First Page (Apply to all pages in the section).
In the Print Document Section Layout, I thought RoboHelp automatically rendered anything placed above the TOC as the Title Page, but for some reason, it's seeing my Topic Title Page and/or Word doc Title Page as just another page in the document and adding the header/footer to it.
I think the last version of RoboHelp I used awhile back was 8 or 9, but I don't recall ever having this trouble adding a Title Page to a Printed document.
Please help me troubleshoot this.
Thank you!

You may also find looking at the Employee Care 2 sample project useful as that describes how to use the new print layout.

Using Content Server 5.02 for Header/Footer Now

I'm trying to migrate our 5.01 deployment to 5.02. One of the problems I'm having is the header and footer that I created before don't show. I had assumed that installing Content Server wouldn't impact my old header/footer that I created with the Branding Engine. Does anyone know what I have forgotten or haven't set? Also, I get an error when I try to create a new header or footer. - "Gateway was not able to access requested content. If the error persists, contact your Portal Administrator."
I'm running the java version of 5.02 on Tomcat. Below is the PTSpy when I try to load a page.
Thanks, Jamie

You should check the URLs and gateway space URLs in the "Branding Web Service" object. It seems like they are not pointing correctly to your Branding Engine/Content Server. The base URL should of course point to the location at which CS is running, while the gateway space should also include the Community Published Content URL.

How to make shapes appear behind page header/footer in Pages '09

In a Pages (v4.0.2) page layout document, I'm trying to make a gradient as the page background. Since there's no built-in way to do this (as far as my googling shows), I've tried what others have suggested:
1. Create a new shape and resize it so it fills the entire page
2. Go to Arrange > Send to Back
3. There's no step three!
This work great for most of the page. However, the page header and footer are always hidden by the shape, and I can't find a way to get them to lay +in front+ of the shape. How can I get the background shape behind the header & footer?
Thanks for your help,
Mike

Are you sure that we may do that with a shape?

Need to modify header & footer of all Word documents in a SharePoint library

We have lots of Word documents in a library where we need to adjust all of the documents' header region's distance from top of page. (A standard setting under the Header & Footer tab in Word). Since we wouldn't want to do this manually for all these
docs, I am looking for a solution to update these by running a script or something. Any way of doing this by Powershell, or other suggestions?
Henning

I am having trouble getting the script to do it's thing. I seem to have gotten it to run through the right document library, but it fails right at the start. Seems to me that it can't get to load the template file to get the header of the template. Can you
see what the problem is from the log? I included the initial errors from start to opening the first file in the library.

Placed objects not printing correctly

Not sure if this is a bug in the new update, but this just started happening on all of my Indesign documents, some of which are fairly old and have been used hundreds of times. All adobe programs are CS6 Master/Photoshop X Pro.
When I go to print one of these, any object that is placed on the worksheet, prints blurry, or very poor quality. Text or shapes that are part of the document and not placed print correctly.
The placed objects are mainly vector based illustrator documents, but there's a few from photoshop. I don't see any errors, the files aren't being rasterized or anything and all have the correct paths. I've tested with about 20 documents and every one does this. I am 100% certain, that these files printed fine 2 days ago, and to my knowledge there hasn't been any changes to the computer or any adobe program. These were just routine brochures we were printing. Is there some setting that I'm missing that would cause placed objects to print incorrectly?

Sounds like the links are out of date or you’ve selected optimized subsampling when printing.
FWIW, I NEVER print from InDesign. I always export a PDF and print from Acrobat.

Header footer

I want to eliminate the header and footer form from the template so i can have that space for text.
Is this possible..or is the header/footer template permanent?

Yes, you can create your own default template. Set up your document with the margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.
While you're at it, you might want to set default styles for all objects, text boxes, tables, paragraph styles, etc. Start with a blank document & insert an object. Change the color, wrap, etc. to your choosing & then go to Format > Advanced > Define Default Shape Style then delete the object. Repeat with an image/photo, a text box & a table.
Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.

Just because something is created in DW CS3 doesn't mean it's
not a
disaster, any more than using DeWalt power tools guarantees
that my
carpentry won't be a complete mess. The software is not a
replacement for
skills. It is a tool; your workflow and understanding of HTML
and CSS is
what allows you to use DW effectively.
So why did I call this page a disaster? When I see all that
extra markup,
spans, and inline tags, I shudder. It's way too hard to
troubleshoot. You're
not doing nearly enough with descendant selectors; instead,
most of your
code is inline, despite a huge CSS file.
Just one example: individual li tags with div align="center"
inside of them.
Way overkill. If you're centering all the li text in a given
list, control
it with CSS and kill all that extra markup.
E.g.
.MenuBarHorizontal li { text-align:center; }
In fact, if all there is in that .MenuBarHorizontal is the
list, you don't
even need to specify the list in the CSS. Just do:
.MenuBarHorizontal { text-align:center; }
Now you don't need div tags inside your li at all.
And if all of those a tags in that menu are going to be
.style16 class,
don't specify it on each link. In fact, don't even have a
.style 16 class.
Heck, since it's just specifying font size, you don't need to
target the a
tag at all. Just add font-size:x-small; to the
.MenuBarHorizontal ruleset I
gave you above.
The above are just examples from a quick glance at your code.
On the whole,
your markup and approach to styles are largely wasting the
power and point
of CSS.
In addition, several styles spanned onto one line of text...
a sure sign
that either you are using far too many styles to make design
sense, or else
you've got styles that overlap each other.
Here's my advice: Until you get a better handle on CSS, don't
style things
as you go. Forget styles altogether at the start. Create a
very clean HTML
markup and put ID and class selectors on things you know will
need them.
Preferably, place the HTML elements in the order you would
want your page
read if styling did not even exist, nesting elements where
necessary.
After you have created all the HTML structure, then go back
and style the
elements via CSS only. You will end up with less page weight
and far cleaner
code to decipher, not simply in terms of length but in terms
of conflicts
and redundancies.
If you're really insistent on styling things as you go, at
least do this:
don't create a new style every time you want to accomplish
something. Create
CSS rules for IDed containers and container classes. Then as
you go along
and are about to create a style, ask yourself where you are
and what all
this new rule needs to apply to. Specify the rule there,
under the selector
you've already created. Then you won't have .style1 -
.style16 like you do
now, and you won't have all that inline mess of code to sort
through.
Finally - as you create your CSS, discipline yourself to
avoid style spans.
They are necessary on the odd occasion, but very rarely.
Think semantically
(i.e. purpose of the style point you're making at a given
time).
For example, if you're tempted to create a span in order to
put something in
bold red, ask yourself: "Why?" Generally, it means you want
to place special
emphasis or strength on that. Well, in that case you don't
need a span. You
need to be using the proper tag, such as <em>
(emphasis) or <strong>. Then
you can style that tag in CSS. That way, what you have in
your page actually
makes sense apart from the style, and as a bonus you can
apply or edit your
style easily.
