Problem with text variable on 0CALMONTH2

Hello,
When I try to use a text variable based on 0CALMONT2, only 3 first caracters are displayed instead on the full text.
Example : for september the system display SEP.
How can I diplay all the text of the month ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards
Nicolas

Nicolas,
Would you check the value being returned by the text variable (not the characteristic), it may be set to Key rather than Text.
So select the Change Variable option and see what the display setting is for your text variable.

Serious problem with text variables in table of contents

I posted this in the regular InDesign forum -- seems that there's no easy solution that would work well in a production environment (only suggestion was to convert the variables to text). However, thought I'd post it here to see if anyone on the scripting forum has a suggestion that might help:
Using InDesign CS4, when there is more than one text variable in a heading that is then included in a generated table of contents, the characters in the table of contents entry are scrambled. Is there a way to avoid this problem so that the table of contents entry has the same text as in the heading?

(This might also have been mentioned in your other thread:)
Text variables work great, but have one big basic flaw: the text cannot be broken. If you have a single text variable contents that's too wide for your text frame, all characters get squished together. I imagine this being even worse when you have two or more variables in a single paragraph. (Another big flaw is that you cannot include character formatting. Let's hope Adobe is working on it.)
You cannot "work around" this basic behavior with a script. The only thing you can do is convert the variables to text, which will de-variablize them (for want of a better word).
Other than using variables, you might want to use the regular Table of Contents feature (which is not "live" but needs updating after each change in the original document text), or perhaps Cross References, which can be used to pick up entire paragraphs.

Solved: InDesign CC: Problems with text in text box: text flows around invisible object

I just upgraded from CS4 to CC. I have two problems with text in some text boxes:
The text seems to flow around invisible object that I cannot find or delete. It's as if there is a photo or other object behind the text box; but when I press COMMAND-a to select all, I don't see any such object.
When I move this text box, the layout of the text within changes. For example, when the box is high on my spread, the text flows correctly within the box; but when I move it down, it flows around that hidden other object. For another example, when the box is low on the page, the text starts at the top of the box; but when I move the text box up, the text starts somewhere in the middle of the box.
I have checked margins of the text box and the paragraph options of the text paragraphs (margins, indents, alignments). They all look OK.
If I modify the text box, checking the box "Ignore text wrap", then the problem goes away; but then the text also will not flow around a real object that I want it to flow around.
Solution:
There were objects in a hidden layer on that one spread. It seems that in CS4 when you "select all" you would also select objects in hidden layers; but in CC it doesn't.

ID CS5: Problem with Text Wrap being Forgetful :(

I am having a problem with text wrap. Whenever I open this INDD file I am working on now, some of the images shift from having what I call "actual" text wrap to having "false" text wrap. "Actual" text wrap *actually* wraps the text around the image as it is supposed to; "false" text wrap says that "Wrap Around Bounding Box" is applied to the image yet no text is wrapped. After opening the file, making sure to unset and reset the text wrap on each offending image to show an "actual" text wrap WITHOUT changing layer order, saving the file, closing, and reopening, some images have "false" text wrap again! This is a 77 page document with images on every page.
Another occurrence is if I largely change the flowed text. If I must remove a paragraph on page 7, for example, then the "actual" text wrapped images on page 10, 12, and 18 change to "false" text wrapped images and I have to reset the text wrap on each image. There are often images in between offending ones that DO NOT change, but it doesn't seem to be the same ones each time. So once image A, C, and D will change to "false" text wrap, while B, E, and F are fine; the next time, A, B, and F are wrong and the others are fine. This is driving me crazy as I have never in 8 years of using InDesign encountered a problem using Text Wrap. Please note:
Ignore Text Wrap IS NOT selected.
The text box IS below the images.
The copy is flowed throughout the document.
Preferences>Composition>"Text Wrap Only Affects Text Beneath Selected"" DOES NOT FIX IT.
"Wrap around bounding box" IS showing as selected for the image/images.
There is NO CLIPPING PATH / PHOTOSHOP PATH / ALPHA PATH on these images.
The images / text box order is not changed between being correct and being incorrect.
Anyone else with this trouble? And, if so, how did you fix it? Thanks,

variable with replacement path.in that take reference character
notification completion.in the next tab take replace ment
as key.in the last tab select "date".
2nd: do the same thing for the notification creation date.
3 rd : create 3 rd local formula and do the substraction
for the first 2 local formulas.
4th:create codition on the difference which u have find with
on that condition u can create one user entry varibale.

I'm having problem with text boxes. Whenever i hit the enter button to start a new line or paragraph, the cursor doesn't drop down to the next line. Instead i get this little red + sign in the box.

You are absolutely right. Thought Enter meant Enter. I was wrong. Thank you for the help.

Problem with String variable

I am new to Java Programming.
I have a line of code that works and does what is supposed to.
faceData.getProfile("Lisa").removeFriend("Curtis");
If I assign the strings to variables such as-
String name = "Lisa";
String fName = "Curtis";
and then plug those into the same line of code, it does not work
faceData.getProfile(name).removeFriend(fName);
What could be causing the problem?
I even added some lines to print out what is stored in the variables to verify that they are what they should be, but for some reason the variables do not work while putting the strings in quotes does. Any ideas?

I guarantee that something about your assertions are incorrect. Those variables are either not equal to the values you claim, or something else is going on. But it's not a problem with string variables versus string constants.
Edit: My best guess in lack of a real example from you, is that the strings in question have non-printable characters in them, such as trailing spaces or line feeds.

TPC 2012 - Problems with shared variable

Hi,
I tried to program simmilar thing to this one http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5548 on TPC 2012. But it doesn't work.I can see that both programs on my laptop and TPC are working(I've added an additional counter with display), but I cannot see any effect on TPC when I change the value of shared variable on my laptop. I use LabView 8.6 with Touch Panel Module. My question is what are the exact steps to run such application on TPC2012? Are they the same as for TPC 2006?
I've noticed following issues:
1.I cannot deploy the program from Project Manager(there is an information that maybe TPC Service is not started. - I've found such information about TPC Service http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/DE177828D27A14A48625734E00768B66 but in fact I cannot find Start » All Programs»National Instruments » NI TPC Service » NI TPC Service Manager 1.0 Does it mean, that the TPC Service is not installed and the programm with shared varibles won't be working or can I start it somehow in another way? Do I need to have TPC service installed on TPC2012?
Until now, I've built the project and sent it through FTP to TPC(the folder was /TEMP) and then started it.
2.Ping works OK
Thank you in advance for any hints how to solve this problem.

Having problems with texts width when viewed in Firefox

I My site is OK when viewed in Chrome and Safari, but in Firefox, the width of paragraphs is becoming very long and all is displayed wrong.
I need a clue where to look to fix. I have not , or very little knowledge of HTML code. So I rely on the DW CS5 interface.
Thanks,D.

Thanks Nancy ,
I'll try,
Should I just paste your info between the brackets, I guess.
I am not so good with this but I need to spent a bit of time to fix this
old web site while another one is being designed.
Yes the images are too big, I'll reduce them, and optimize. This was
done in a rush..

Problems with /tmp variable

Hi,
I'm writing a shell script and I seem to be having problems with a variable that is creates a directory in the /tmp directory. Essentially, there are several points where various parts of the script call out information that gets exported to that directory. My script is failing upon creation of this directory, is there any specific permissions on the /tmp directory in mac that would need to be set before something like this occurred?
Thanks!

Maybe you could post your code, that way we can see how you're trying to create the directory and may be able to spot the problem. As it is we're working blind, and that's not easy.

Having problem with setting variable on a textfield

I'm using createTextField to create a textfield. I have also created a input textfield with a variable called textline1 (I don't create the inputfield with as).
I want to display the letters in the created textfiled that I'm typing in the input field. So this in my AS coed:
_root.createTextField("text1",1,100,100,300,100);
text1.variable = textline1;
format1 = new TextFormat();
format1.color = 0xff0000;
format1.size = 50;
format1.bullet = false;
text1.setTextFormat(format1);
but it doesn't work. So anyone see the problem?
(sorry for bad english)

i think you're going to have more problems if you continue using textfield variables. you should not use them. just use the text property of the textfield to reference its contents.
but, if you want to continue, use:
var tl:MovieClip=this;
fontsize=20;
myInputText_txt.onChanged = function(text1:TextField) {
_root.myText_mc.createTextField("text_txt",1,100,100, 100,100);
_root.myText_mc.text_txt.variable = tl["text2"];
text2=text1.text;
format1 = new TextFormat();
format1.color = 0xff0000;
format1.size = fontsize;
format1.bullet = false;
text_txt.setTextFormat(format1);
p.s. please mark this thread as answered.

Problems with text in iWeb publishing much larger, or smaller than in iWeb (it is insane)!

More than a year ago I had a problem with my iWeb not publishing correctly: links to other websites would not open in a separate window as designed in iWeb. I got help from an AppleCare techie and after he did a lot of tests, he concluded I had a corrupted Domain file (which became apparent after I upgraded to OS Snow Leopard). I don't remember if I discussed with this techie another problem I had been having for as long as I had used iWeb, and that was "exploding" text: certain words, often italicized, would be huge, after publishing, relative to the surrounding text. Sometimes certain words, or sentences would be smaller than designed in iWeb. Through trial and error I would sort of solve these problems by enlarging text boxes, or making the offending word or phrase one text point smaller. Sometimes deleting the text box entirely, and starting over would work. And then there are the weird things that happen when my wife opens my website in Internet Explorer: things that make no sense and seem to be totally out of my control.
So, I've spent a long time rebuilding my website in this supposedly uncorrupted Domain file, and today I finally finished and published to my hard drive, checked it out, and the "exploding" text is there with a vengeance. So much so that I may just stick with my original ("corrupted") Domain file, the text problem on this new one seems even worse than the old one. Anyone had this problem? I meant to ask this question years ago, but got a bit lazy.
Another question is: I've heard Apple is going to discontinue iWeb. Despite my problems with the program, I rely on it. What are the options going to be for iWeb users?

Well you heard wrong didn't you!
Apple is discontinuing MobileMe, which is the hosting in favour of iCloud services which will not contain any hosting.
iWeb is an app and as far as we know you can still continue to use it - it will still work so carry on using it if you are happy with it.
If you want to look at other alternatives to iWeb, then others suggest RapidWeaver and Sandvox as being closer to iWeb - both are available via the Mac App store.
Also Freeway Express and Flux 3 are worth looking at - more design freedom and you are not restricted to templates as with RapidWeaver.
