Story order in dynamic TOC?

Hi. I'm just learning to use the Table of Contents function in ID. I'm having trouble where there are multiple stories on a single page (for example, a section header at the top of the page that's a separate text block from the longer running text below). How can I force the order of the Level 1 and Level 2 entries into the proper order?

Hoping this explains why you are seeing the incorrect order issue in your ToC:
Table of Contents text that is sourced from separate stories on a page will appear top to bottom, left to right, so if some of your headings start further to the 'left', they would appear earlier in the ToC.
Additionally ToC text from threaded stories will appear BEFORE the headings, if those headings appear on later pages.
To avoid this from happening there are a number of things to attempt:
thread your frames where possible, don't use 'loosely' placed headers
where you have multiple short stories on a page it's more difficult, esp if they are magazine style. you can try and cheat by making frames wider and using text indent to position the text left/right, so that indesign only uses the 'top to bottom' approach and doesn't consider text that starts 'further to the right' as something that must appear later.
Hope this helps,
Cari

Achieve the tab order for dynamically added section

Hi friends,
I'm facing the issue with tab order.
How to achieve the tab order for dynamically added sections?
Could you Plaese suggest me in this.
Thanks,
Susila S

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Ya. I'm adding rows in a table dynamically which is grouped in a subform which is flowable and the buttons are placed in the same subform. At the end of the row I'm having the hidden fields.
So what I want is without focusing the tab on hidden field I want to traverse the first field of the next dynamic row. For that I have used the access property as protected on hidden field, but its not working properly.
Please help me on this ASAP.

Order by dynamic variable

Hello,
I am trying to sort my query based on a dynamic variable p_sorton in the cursor as follows:
function getMarketView2(
p_event_id in ex_event.event_id%type,
p_fromrow in integer,
p_torow in integer,
p_appTZ in char,
p_calcTZ in char,
p_sorton in varchar2) return varchar2 as

v_return varchar2(32767);

and (ex_ticket_trade.ticket_suite_code='N' OR ex_ticket_trade.ticket_suite_code='Y')
order by p_sorton desc;
--ex_ticket_trade.ticket_datetime desc;
........then comes the rest of the code........
This code compiles fine but does not use the value passed in the param p_sorton in the order by clause.
the same code works fine when hardcoded to "ex_ticket_trade.ticket_datetime"
No idea where I may be going wrong?
Also can I do anything like ORDER BY v1 v2
where v1 specifies columns to sort on and v2 asc/desc, coz that's what I really need to do?
Pls help ...

Tab Order of Dynamic Table or subform

Hi,
I have a page with few subforms. At this subforms are dynamic tables or dynamic subforms. How does the tab order works in this kind of layout.
Some time I have a few subforms or tables group together when activiate the tab order form the menu [View->Tab order]. I have the tab order arranged for a dynamic subform. When I preview and add a few instance of the subform (call it subform A), the first instance tab order follow what was set. But when tab to second instance of subform (subform A), the cursor just when to another subform (subform B). Why is that so? Shouldn't it just continue to the second instance?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Mike,
I have faced with the same problem also. So as a temporary solution, in the exit event of the last item in the table, I changed the focus to the next instance's first item. Not a good way. If there is any different solution, waiting also.
Asiye.

Story Order

We are experimenting with using InCopy in a translation workflow.
We have added all stories to a new assignment. We noticed that the stories appeared in a different order in the assignment palette to how they are in ithe InDesign file.
We reordered them in the palette so they were in the correct order but once opened in InCopy they were still in the wrong order.
How can we make sure they appear in the correct order, if they are out of order the context will be incorrect resulting in a confused translator!
Also when we delete stories from the assignment panel they still appear as individual files in the incopy folder.

I think normal text exporting follows the order in which the text was added to the file.
But Rorohiko (www.rorohiko.com) has a plug-in called Text Exporter which enables you to stipulate the order in which stories are exported. When I got it it was free.
I believe it uses a similar principle to ToC construction by actually scanning through the document from front to back and will let you select pages from which to export.

Order of dynamic actions

Hello everyone,
I have got two dynamic actions triggered by the same field (marital status in IT0002), one is calling IT0101 (Fiscal Status Belgium) and the other calling IT0021.
What determines which order they come? I want IT0021 to come first, and later IT0101.
Is it the sequence no? If so, how can I change it? I tried to change it but it is not modifyable.
Thank you very much.
Nihan

U cannot change Seq number.U have to delete and recreate.
U just copy the line and make 3rd row.
Example.
Seqnr     DAta
1         A
2         B
U want B to come first.
Copy row having A then make Seqnr 3.
So U'll get
Seqnr     DAta
1         A
2         B
3         A
Now delete the first row and U'll get
Seqnr     DAta
2         B
3         A
Hope this will solve Ur problem.

Dynamic TOC

Greetings,
I had a meeting with a client, who demoed Oracle's User Productivity Kit (UPK).
One of the interesting features is displaying a TOC based on the user role. The user selects a role and the TOC displays the topics based on the selected role.
I would like to mimic this feature within RoboHelp. My plan is:
1. Create a button on the Toolbar - User Roles.
2. List of roles display, user clicks the appropriate role.
3. How can I display the required TOC based on the click?
Thanks,

Hi Colum
I see your point about using Conditional Build Tags, but nothing was said about certain topics not needing to be excluded.
Can you expound on your suggestion of using the Mini TOC? I'm having a real mental struggle with trying to even understand how that would come into play to address the issue. Mini TOC appears in the Topics and has no bearing on the primary TOC. I assumed the initial post was asking about how to influence the primary TOC, hence my confusion.
Cheers... Rick

Request execution order, dictionnary dynamic views, new database creation

Hi,
Could you tell me, in which order this sql request is executed:
select pro_name from product where pro_price =(select max(pro_price) from product);
Is the sub-request executed first and the principal request executed once the sub request has sent its result or
-is the principal request executed first, waiting the sub-request result when its arrived to
=(select max(pro_price) from product);
Thanks a lot for your answer
Secondly can you tell me what means the option "management local" when you create the system, sysaux and undo datafiles, for example like this
datafile 'C:\ORADATA\DBPROD\Base\DBPROD_SYSTEM_01.dbf' size 300M autoextend ON next 10M maxsize 500M extent management local
To finish, what permit to créate the et catoctk.sql script when you create the data dictionnary.
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Nathalie

1) The order in which elements of a SQL statement are processed is completely up to the optimizer. Which means that it is subject to change over time. Today, the optimizer may choose to execute a query one way, tomorrow, it may choose a different order of operations.
Now, practically, it is almost certain that Oracle would choose to evaluate the maximum price first and then scan the product table for the products with that maximum price. But that's just because there aren't any other options that would seem appealing. If you added another condition, it might make sense to evaluate that condition first and then find the maximum price.
2) Extent management local means that you are creating a locally managed tablespace. Assuming you're using a vaguely recent version of Oracle, all tablespaces are locally managed. Old versions of Oracle used dictionary managed tablespaces which basically meant that tracking information about when extents were allocated was stored in the SYSTEM tablespace. This was occasionally a performance problem which is why Oracle moved that information into the tablespace.
3) I'm not sure what you're asking when you ask about a "permit to create the catoctk.sql script"

Dynamic sales order no. in Delivery item output Subject line

Hi Friends
I need to send delivery output LQCA item level, by mail and E mail subject should contain sales order no and product description.
The method is to write:
& XXXX-YYYY& / &LIPS-ARKTX& (XXXX is the table name containing sales order and YYYYis the field name of sales order)
in cover page text in output communication tab.
But I am not getting the sales order no. in any of the delievry table. It is there in LIPS table but not filled.
How can I pull sales order no. dynamically.
Regards,
Neeraj Srivastava

Hello Sales Document Number will be available in LIPS in VGBEL 9Reference) Field.
If not avaialbel there then you will have to go to Table VBFA & enter the Delivery number in Follow-on Document No. to get Preceeding Document number which is Sales Order number.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

How to dynamically call and order program modules

Hey guys,
I have ‘x’ pieces of code (x could be 10’s or 100’s of modules).
I need to be able to dynamically call and run ‘y’ of them, but I need to be able to do it in parallel, and some of them might be in order.
For instance ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ need to run in parallel,
but 'D' needs data from 'A' and will run after 'A',
and 'E' needs to run after ‘D’,
and ‘F’ needs data from 'C' and will to run after ‘C’
So I have two questions.
How should I organize and order these dynamic calls?
and What method should I use to pass data along from one VI to another?

My point mentioning TestStand is that my feeling tells me that you are going to re-implement some very basic functions which are already included in TestStand.
To be honest: TestStand adds additional costs. You have to purchase licenses, you should get some training which takes time until getting payed off.
But on the other hand: You also need time to implement and test your self-made approach. Also: Does this project grow in the future? Do you need additional features in the (near) future?
Going into this will result in a break even in costs where you can say: if i take more time in my self-made approach, it is cheaper to go for TestStand right from the beginning.
TestStand is designed to be VERY flexible. But you have to get familiar to this flexibiity in order to get where you want. Therefore, i recommend you to collect some information before making the decision. Maybe you want to invite some sales guy from NI in order to present TestStand to you....

Need help exporting ID file with TOC to EPUB.

I've been troubleshooting a file created in ID CS5.5 and then moved to CC. When I export to EPUB the TOC ends up at the end of the file rather than at the point where I originally inserted the TOC. The vendor I'm sending the EPUB to won't accept a file with the TOC out of place. I tried exporting to an HTML editor and moving the TOC there. (I'm no whiz at HTML though.) Now I see no way to import the file back into ID to export it as EPUB ( and doubt that's the best way to deal with this anyway). I'd deeply appreciate any suggestions!

First of all, a TOC is not only "The Toc". You need to distinguish between the dynamic Reader TOC and a optional TOC e.g. on page 3. While the first is generally required, the second is optional in most cases.
You must also distinguish whether the export is EPUB 2 or EPUB 3.
1. Assume you mean the dynamic TOC > InDesign will create the TOC on the right place, if you choose the TOC-Style during the export.
2. Assume you mean the TOC on page 3 > Here the content- or article-order is important! If you have a threaded story from page 2-100 and your TOC as a single frame on page 3 > InDesign will first export the content on page 2 AND the content of all threaded frames and at least your TOC on page 3.
3. Assume further your exported file is correct in most cases, you can change the order of your TOC in the EPUB directly in the content.opf file in the spine-area
To give you more help, I must have a look at your file.

TOC and Cross reference bookmarks

Hi. I recently finished work on a book that had front matter containing a brief TOC and a detailed TOC. The book also contained individual TOCs at the beginning of each chapter.
I updated all numbering across the book files before generating the TOCs in the front matter, then generated the brief and detailed TOCs using my TOC Styles. However, I assigned cross references for the individual chapter TOCs. May not have been the best choice.
Because there was special styling for some of the front matter TOC entries that wasn't easily specified using just the TOC Styles, I cut and pasted groups of entries from the generated TOC on the pasteboard into a new frame on the page. I checked in Story Editor to ensure that the invisible markers for the TOC entries had been copied into the new frame.
When I exported the files to PDF, the TOC entries no longer pointed to the correct pages. They simply pointed to the first page of the PDF when clicked. Furthermore, no bookmarks showed up the TOC entries in the Bookmarks panel, even though I had "Create PDF Bookmarks" checked in my TOC Styles.
I have three questions, then:
--Is there any way to reclaim the behavior of the TOC bookmarks, and their display in the Bookmarks list of the PDF, if the entries are copied and pasted into a new frame in InDesign, without doing this manually in Acrobat Pro?
--Is there any way to get cross references to display as bookmarks in a PDF, assuming that I needed to make individual PDFs of each chapter, without doing this manually in Acrobat Pro?
--I'm betting that all files should be exported from InDesign as a single PDF in order for all TOC and cross reference links to work properly, without manual intervention in Acrobat Pro? If so, and manual intervention is required, is this accomplished by cataloging/indexing in Acrobat Pro?
I need to be able to pass this information along to a publisher who is now requiring all of their compositors to submit bookmarked PDFs with their printer files. I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one, but I would like verification from the pros here. Thanks!

TOC - First level appearing after 1st instance of 2nd level

Is there a known issue or paragraph style conflict that might cause the first level title to appear after the first instance (same page#) of the 2nd level in the table of contents?
for example, chapter one page 1 should appear first in this list but does not:
Chapter 1 Intro..............Page 1
Subtopic1 Chapter 1........Page 1
CHAPTER 1......................Page 1 (this should appear first in list)
Subtopic2 Chapter 1........Page 2
Subtopic3 Chapter 1........Page 3
Chapter 2 Intro..............Page 4
CHAPTER 2......................Page 4 (this should appear before Ch2Intro)
Subtopic1 Chapter 2........Page 5
It appears the page number being the same across multiple levels is causing some confusion. I am not sure if this is a style set up for the top level style. ??

Hi Lara,
When TOC paragraphs are not all in the same story, InDesign can become confused about the order of the paragraphs on a given page. It looks to me as if "CHAPTER 1" and "Chaper 1 Intro" are in different stories. The easiest way to get them into the correct order in the TOC is to link the two stories, with "Chapter 1 Intro" following "CHAPTER 1" in that story.
Thanks,
Ole

Is it possible to return a HP printer that I did not order from HP?

Back story:
Ordered an HP Officejet 6500 E709n wireless all-in-one from an online retailer. It wouldn't connect wirelessy and after trying to instal it 3 times the printer itself "locked up" and none of the buttons would work --including power. So, I called HP and they sent out a replacement. This printer wouldn't connect wirelessly so I figured must be my network issues and after 4 days of trying just gave up and connected via USB cable. Voila! The printer would print. However, after I printed one document and then didn't print anything for oh, say 10 minutes, the printer "locked up" and none of the buttoms would work. No scan, no copy, nada. So to print, I have to unplu and replug the printer. I give up. I'll go back to the old Epson. Called HP support where I am still on hold with someone overseas. She is telling me I can send one printer back but the one I ordered from the online retailer is their responsibility. I can't return it to the online retailer because it has been more than 15 days since I ordered it. (Thanks to HP service which told me to return it to them after receiving the replacement refurbished printer.)
So, is there anyone at HP who will take this defective printer back? Or am I stuck with a printer that won't work? ANyone have ideas for what to do with it?

I'm a little confused..your profile says home made windows, yet you're working with iMovie?
Anyway, if you can get a Mac to read your discs, try Streamclip to extract the video TS file. That also is dependent of whether the format of that camera creates a video ts file on disc.
