Repeating Table in Master Pages

Hi =)
I'm having some trouble with a dynamic xml form I'm creating.
Inside a page I have a repeating table that allows the user to insert a new row (max 4 rows).
All I want is this page to adjust nicely to the size of the repeating table.
Since I've read that it is not possible to change master page size through javaScript, I've created a page set with different sized master pages that adjust to the different number of rows.
I tried to set some conditional breaks to change from master page to master page accordingly to the table size. The thing is, whenever the user adds a row, the two master pages will appear. The first one blank and the next one with the table.
I think I only need a way to make the previous master page disappear.
Can someone give me some advise?
I need help.
Thank you =)

Hi =)
I'm trying something different: I want to make the blank pages disappear by changing the position of the Pages in the Page Set.
Suppose the table only has 2 rows.
The script on the click event of the button "add row" is the following:
     //Adds an instance to the row
     form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance(true);
     //Counts the number of instances
     var n = form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.count;
     //If number of instances = 2 then the Pages position is changed
     if (n == 2){
          xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page1.pagePosition = "rest";
          xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page2.pagePosition = "first";
I also have a conditional break in the Table1 like this:
     "When"
          form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.count == 2
     "Break"
          before
     "to"
          Page2
This forces the entire table to change to the Page2 once it has 2rows.
The only thing that ruins this brilliant idea (cof cof =P) is...well, are this commands:
     xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page1.pagePosition = "rest"
     xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page2.pagePosition = "first";
They don't work! Why? Does anyone know?
Thanks =)

Inserting variable data markers in tables on master pages

I have a two-cell table on a verso master page that is styled and set to hold my <ChapterNumber> and <ChapterTitle>. A one-cell table is set on the recto master page to hold my <A_Head>. The problem is that I can't seem to insert the variables into the table cells. They work fine when inserted into standard text frames, but I can't see the markers on the master pages, nor does the data associated with the appropriate paragraph styles show up on the regular pages, as it does when I simply insert the variables into standard text frames. I tested the default variables that are installed with InDesign CS3, and they can be inserted into the table cells on the master pages and display on the regular pages. The variables that I defined work properly in a text frame, but not in a table. Is there an explanation for this? The cells have styles associated with them, but there's plenty of room in the cells for the variables. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

This is so weird. In my original file, I did everything that you did, and even when I flipped back through the pages, the information wasn't appearing in the appropriate cells
(BTW, the chapter number actually goes next to the word "Chapter" in the green cell on the verso, and the A head actually goes in the white cell on the recto; chapter title will be in the white cell on the verso). The markers were showing up--thinly, as you pointed out--when I had originally inserted the markers, but the difference was that I did not see the results on the actual pages. Go figure. Everything looks fine now, and there were no problems with my variables.
I have avoided using the default Chapter Number variable because it doesn't reflect the chapter number based on what the chapter number is in the text provided by the client. For example, I changed the chapter number on the chapter opener just now to 12, and the variable you inserted for the chapter number did not update; it stayed at 10, because that variable is based on the Document Chapter Numbering feature, not on text. When I use a running header variable based on the CN paragraph style I define, my chapter number variables are correct, and if the text changes, the change is picked up without having to go to the Pages panel. It's just a different way of doing things.
Thanks for checking the file!

Repeate Subforms In Master Pages

Hi All,
Am unable to see repeated sun forms when master pages are repeating based on body pages.
Let me explain my scenario
I have one master page and one body page, master page i have one repeated sub form contains list of doctors
In body page am displaying ordered services which also using repeated sub forms when the data exceeds to first page it is automatically overflows to second page in this scenario repeated sub forms of master page doctors list is not displaying in exceeded second page, but it is displaying in first page.
Can any one give solution for this scenario.

Hi Mallesh Reddy,
In Adobe forms, what ever you keep in the Master Page will be repeated for the next consecutive pages.
In other words Master Page is like a letter head which contains elements in common for all the consecutive pages to print. The positions and the layout will remain same for the Master page unless altered dynamically.
Body Page is nothing but the content. Which will be printed in the Context Area of the Main Page.
Contents in the Body page will be printed only once.
Solution:
Please place the elements which has to be repeated for all the pages in the Master page.
If further help needed, Please post the lay out for us.
Reward if useful.
Cheers,
Sivanand Ala

You can control by Form Calc.
In READY LAYOUT
var curpage = $layout.page ( ref ( $ ) )
if ( curpage = 1 ) then
$.presence = "visible"

Repeat tables in all pages

I have four tables in the template.
I want to display first three in all the pages and fourth table (which also has repeatng rows ) to be diplayed after first three tables.
I dont want to use the header concept.
Can this be possible.
AJ

Two options:
1. You can create a sub template and place 3 tables within it. Then call the template from page header.
2. If you dont want to use page headers, you can use table headers.
Create a table. In first row place 3 tables which you want to repeat. Then choose 'Repeat as header row' in table properties.
In second row you can have your 4th table.

Problem in displaying dynamic table placed in master page

Hi all,
I have placed a dynamic table in my master page. When the page overflows the dynamic table is shown only in 1st page. I want this table to be shown in every page. Please help me solve this.
Regards,
Devaiah

hi,
Thank you all for your reply. But i cannot keep the table in body page as i want this table to be displayed in every page in the header. Actually i am displaying an address through this table.
I have moved the content area in master page to center and reduced its size and in the body page i have placed a table which will display the report. When this table overflows to next page all the contents in master page are shown except for the address table in master page. I am not sure whether i am doing it the right way as i am bit new to adobe forms.
Please let me know where am i going wrong. Also please suggest me some alternative method ( if any ) to display the address in every page if the above method is not feasible.
Regards,
Devaiah

Include Master Page Items in Table of Contents

I am building a table of contents in InDesign CS3. I've got paragraph style applied to my section heading and well as section subheadings. However, my sections headings are located on Master Pages (as they are repeating on several pages), and my section subheadings are located directly on the pages themselves (as they do not repeat).
When I set up my table of contents only my section subheadings show up, not both. When I go to a page with a section heading and override the master page item and then update my table of contents my section header shows up. Is there any way to include my secion headers without overriding the master page items?
-Carina

I found this article about using Power Headers to override master frames that addresses the table of contents issue: http://in-tools.com/article/power-headers/power-headers-overrides-master-frames/
Hope this helps!

Repeat Text Field Value on Master page

This might be a really simple question. I have a form with two master pages. The second is applied to all but the first page. On the second master page I have a text field that I populate with user entered data from a text field. I want this value to show on all pages after the first page (page 2 to n). It shows up with the value on page 2, but all the rest have a blank value. Do I need to script something to make it repeat for all pages? Any help would be appreciated.

The simpliest method would be:
Under the Object tab, select Binding, and change the Default Binding to Global. The TextFields you create must have the same name, and Global binding will populate all the fields.

No master pages applied because MasterPageMaps table contains no mapping information

I use FM8 and DITA files to create my books. I have tired in the past to apply masters automatically but have not been able to. Now that I create books from xml, it is even more important to automate this process. I use structured FM and have deleted and re-created the StructMasterPageMaps in my file. I created a book that has my one test file so I can experiment quickly. In that file I have a Master page defined as Chapter_cover which I can apply manually no problem. In the StructMasterPageMap, I refer to the paragraph tag title.0 and the right-hand MasterPage Chapter_cover and set the range to Single.
When I then select the book and try to update the master pages (Update book->Master Pages->update), I get the error "No master pages applied because the MasterPageMaps table contains no mapping information.
I have searched the forum and the archive and found an instance similar to mine (Jun19/07), but no clear resolution was found. I have tried the suggestions made therein such as re-creating the MasterPages reference page, which I have done. And I am sure that I have typed them correctly (case sensitive etc).
What could be my problem? I could send the book since it consists of only one 2-page fm file.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Kevin

Further to this problem, I found that if I create a brand new file, import the structure definitions and then refer to E:title in the StructMasterPage table, it will apply the Master page, but not when I refer to the paragraph tag title.0
So I see that I am close, but I cannot use the Title element since it is used by all the tasks in the real files. Only the title.o paragraph tag will flag the first page.
Does anyone have any suggestions why the p tag does not work while the element does?
I have tried defining E:title or title and p:title.0 or title.0 to see if that made a difference, but it did not.
Thanks again

How to show master and detail tables in different pages?

Hi,
Can somebody expalin me how to include or bind the master and detail tables to different pages which are included at runtime.
thnaks,
Naresh.

Hello!
you have ti create a Master/Detail data structure.
In the first page drag the master table, on the second drag a detail table.
It should work out of the box. Selecting a record on the master table selects
the details on the detail table automatically!

2 master pages with table data flow

Hi,
My form got 2 master pages. Each master page will display atleast once in the output preview. First page displays table data which may or may not flow to the second page depending on the no.of records. But, the form will show both the master pages in pdf preview( even if the second master page is empty).
Now, I have a field in the both the master pages which will show the total amount. Total amount field will have a value which should be displayed in the first page if the data doesn't flow to the second page. The total should display in the second page if data flows to the second page. Where can I write the condition and how will I know whether the form is flowing to the second page or not? I cannot write based on the pagecount because the output will always contain 2 pages.
How will I know my table is flowing to the next page or not so that I will write my logic based on it.
Thanks,
kc

Hello Dude,
Try to find out the field of the table is in which page. If it is in page 2 so u can print the amount there.
try this script
for(var i = 0 ; i < xfa.host.numPages ; i++) // loop uoto total number of pages
var oFields = xfa.layout.pageContent(i, "field");
totalfields = oFields.length; // gives the number of fields in a page
 flag=1;
for (var nNodeCount = 0; nNodeCount < z; nNodeCount++) // loop through the fields
 if (oFields.item(nNodeCount).name == "find your table field") // Here find for that field if it works print maount in that page
Good Luck

How to keep the repeating table and all of its contents on the same page

Hi All,
I use 5.6 build version of xml publisher. My problem is about, repeating table in rtf is divided, so i want to keep the object and its contents on the same logical page.
How it can be done?
Thanks.

I'm glad to hear someone who doesn't have this problem. I tried that to make a connection between my phone and PC, but then I am unable to accomplish that: it says (on my phone) how I'm not playing something... :@ I mean "WTF, it is a bluetooth...".
I did disable the software from starting, but I is not all of the software - it is all around me: in main many, in control panel... And I can smell some other processes running!
Also, the computer continues to restart it self for no reason, and it has to do something with installation of Toshiba BT...
I will remove this thing from my PC even if that meant reinstalling operating system!
No, I don't have Toshiba notebook... Maybe I had, if that was one part of the uninstalled components.
I don't get it, it looks like Toshibas developers wanted to scr*w with us - why did they make it so hard to remove all of those components. The internet is full of peoples post who had the same problem as I do!

How can you get get two master pages to repeat in a document with one of them having numbering.

How can you get two master pages in Indesign to repeat when one of them has a numbering section and the back side is a common back. For example, Master A has numbering 001-500 and Master B is the common back for all 500 pages.

My guess is you either want to use a numbered list for the numbering, rather than a page number marker, or you want to make two files and print a single page file with the static text 500 times, then flip the stack and print the 500 page file.
What are you trying to do?

Master/Detail? Repeating Tables - Combine data from 2 repeating tables to one cell in sharepoint

Hi there, new to infopath. I have 2 sections in my form which are hidden and display based on the department selected. So Department A versus Department B, a section opens for details pertaining to that Department. So in each
section I have similar information requirements, similar but not exactly the same. Now I was able to create hidden fields that will concat the values from both sections in the instances of similar data (i.e. Name, Department location, etc, so if Department
A fills in Name on their section, then someone else submits the same form for Department B I still have one column of metadata in SP to displace the Name regardless of department or section they filled data into). However now I am stuck, I have repeating
tables in both sections and I want to concate the entries to output to the sharepoint list for that cell. However everything I have tried so far only concats the 1st value in the repeating table. Is there a way to take ALL of the data from
two repeating tables and merge them into one column/cell in sharepoint (metadata for the one form entry)??? I want to avoid having to create a excessive "views" of a list in order to accomodate the needs for BOTH departments. I hope
this is clear. Thanks for your help!
