Combo / twisties in the master page footer section?

How to make scrolling text or twisties work in the footer of a master page section?

We try to add drop-down text menu / twisties in footer of each topic so that our clients can access company, product, technical support of any subject information. To do this, the most logical is to change the master page and add content in the footer.

We have these main sections:

But when I open the master page in the main editing view, the ability to add the drop-down list feature is grayed out inside HR.

I tried to create the footer drop-down content in a separate test topic and then copy and paste directly into the master page. HR removes such content from the minute I'm trying to save him, leaving only the related topics. Example of text that is deleted:

<? HR-droptext_start class = "droptext" id = "POPUP542020552" style = "" display: none; '? " >

< class p = "footerpar" > Readme.pdf | < a href = "#" class = "footerlink" > LINK

HERE < /a > < /p >

< class p = "footerpar" > printable manuals | < a href = "#" class = "footerlink" > LINK

HERE < /a > < /p > <? HR-droptext_end? >

Are there workarounds to accomplish twisties on a section of the footer of a master page without using an external .js file?

I may try a road .jquery if I can't get HR to behave, but would like to just use the page master itself without other files.

I finally got drop downs working inside a .hts which is then inside the .htt footer section.

I discovered that the problems in the CSS I posted in the pictures above are attributable mainly from my own CSS problems.

However, when I tried to add images twistie, bad new...

Twisties are all or nothing in RoboHelp. You apply all the drop Downs or None.

That won't work for us, since our footer is a background more dark.

So I created my own downfall personalized stockings with jQuery and CSS.

And they worked!

Well well, mostly...

Long story short: it has been a painful week and the other half, mostly spent trying to get this .hts of footer to the appearance and behavior of the way I want it too in my chm. I had to do a LOT of trial and error and additional testing to figure out something that works.

Things I've learned:

  • Square pegs can go in the round holes with a lot of hammering and a lot of mess.
  • CHMS are old. They are not easier to work with when it comes to the use of styles. Many things are not taken in charge you can do in a normal browser.
  • Under the hood CHMS use IE 7, so you have to use CSS that matches that version.
  • You can work around some limitations that HR requires using methods and tool parts.
  • Use a repository. If you make a mistake or fall a path that you want to cancel or put on the shelf for later, you can do it easily. (I'm really happy that I did. I could come and go between my revisions and see what the code worked and which did not easily).
  • In a repository, use a test project that mimics your production project, including the folder structure, but on a much smaller scale you can do faster chm builds. (I got my footer to work Monday, but when I moved it into our real project, the footer did not work on CHMS in subfolders. So I had to build a workaround for this. I would have seen previously had I better imitated my directory structure.)
  • Don't get so sucked into approach that you neglect other tools or methods that might be simpler. (I spent a good amount of time trying to get HR drop downs working in HR footer when jQuery, once I figured how to make, provided a simpler approach.)

Result of my footer (with custom twisties and drop downs in expansion):

  • Table of contents using a style/section of the master page

    I'm at the top of my head I think... and probably incorrectly to the top of my document.  I hope I can quickly explain where I am:

    Question 1

    I'd like a Table of contents to use 10 section headers that appear throughout my document.  Here's how I set up:

    • In the master page, a place for the header of section and it gives a paragraph style.
    • Then, throughout the document, I used the "numbering and section options" start each new section and give this article is the unique name.

    When I went to generate the Table of contents, I've specified using this particular paragraph style that I used for the section headers, but nothing appears (except for the title, I asked for the General table of contents).  It's as if this isn't to find the sections - or this style (which applies only to the master page).

    Where am I wrong?

    Question 2

    I wish that my Table of contents, not numbered.  How do I do that?

    Shanell

    I don't know that you understood my post. I was able to do exactly what you did - create a master page with a frame and the section marker character (indicating "section" on the master page) and then add the actual text of the marker in the numbering and section options. The text appears on the page of live document.

    When I tried to do a table of contents, text was not resumed UNTIL I selected and carried this master frame on the page of the document (Ctrl + Shift + click on Windows or Cmd + Shift + click on Mac on the image that you want to replace). After substitution, the text appeared as scheduled in the table of contents.

    You're right about the number of page for this page. You can use another master without a page number, or you can cancel and delete the master page number frame. I assume that you will need to use a different master for the first page and pages in any section to avoid having the marker appear on all pages, or you can replace only the first page so that you don't repeat entries in the table of contents for each page of each section.  If you use the marker as a running header Section, you can learn more about Variables header running in the help files in place. In many ways, the use of a variable can be simpler and more direct.

    Normally, when you open the page palette in InDesign, it is divided into two. The upper part is where is the master page (and a page named none), while the lower part is where are the actual pages of documents. Unfortunately when I opened my palette (InDesign CS 6 on a Mac), there is no upper and lower part of the page-only the lower part is displayed. When I put my cursor on my pages, it tells me that I "Applied A-master".

    Why not my top shows (A-master and none)? The pages that I don't "Act" like master pages - for example, I can't get past page numbering.


    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    It looks like the upper part may be in a State reduced - the line was pulled up.

    Just of the cursor on the line that separates the upper and lower sections, and drag it to the bottom.

  • Add a link to the language at the top of each page; the master page logo does not...?

    Why did my slideshow full screen on my master page footer? one of my pages renders correctly but when I try to replicate this on an another pager cover slide show footer

    Hello

    You are facing this problem because the footer element shows below the slideshow.

    You must create a new layer in the tab layers.

    Move the items from the footer to the top layer, and you should be all set.

    For this you just have to click on elements of footer and select "Move to the layer" and select the top layer.

    Please let me know if you still any help on this.

  • Master page footer FrameMaker 12 tab stops

    I use FrameMaker 12 for the first time (other versions used in the past). On the master page to the right, I press tab twice and two variables can be inserted in the footer. On the pages of body, the text is cut off on the right. To fix it, I had to remove the tab centered on the master page, leaving only the right-aligned tab. This should not have been necessary. Why the text aligned on the right-align tab stop to cut?

    What are:

    1. Dimensions & units of the footer frame
    2. exact values (& units of tab stops
    3. Justification of the Pará to footer
    4. Column value 1 and roommate side heads in the footer para
    5. fonts used (including OTF, TTF, PFM file type)

    I have sometimes seen behavior strange edge right tab-image in previous framework FMs. mess certainly content tab R if he thinks that the tab stop is beyond the edge of the image (it lets you set the tab stop like that, but you will reduce the image size later).

    Affecting the tab stop R 0.01 less than the size of the image it corrects generally. My random guess, is that he might have something to do with rounding off FM show in the dialogues compared to what he actually internally stores.

  • Placement of master page footer

    HR 11 Webhelp

    Our master page footer text looks good in a shaded border, but there seems to be no way to set the distance of the border from the help content. I was able to adjust the distance 1) removing the shadow & border and 2) by selecting the text and adjusting the spacing above 18 pxparagraph.  Well, it seems so simple.

    Is there a way to:

    • set the distance of a help content footer border (the border is a property of footer and doesn't seem to be selected), or
    • better, perhaps, to put the footer at the bottom of the window of the browser of the user

    Also, is 18 PX, considered a good space below the content, or if anyone has seen a different recommendation?

    Thank you

    If you use the #footer CSS selector, you can do what you want:

    #footer {}

    top of the margin: 18px;

    }

    to set as a top margin 18px.

    Personally, I would have put in 1.5em (16px x 1.5) over a distance. It is more than a row height, but enough to indicate that it is part of the content.

    Kind regards.

  • Why not my text on the master page appearing is not on a page of body?

    I'm working on 11 FM. I have a text box "this page intentionally left blank." on a mooring on a master page called blank Page. When I assign this master page to a page of body (using the master page), the headers and footer appear, but isn't my text "this page left blank.". How can I fix it?

    Is "this page intentionally left blank." as part of the main text (flow one) on the Master Page 'white '?

    If so, remove it and place it in a new block of background text on this page.

    Flow text on MPs does not appear on the pages of body.

  • change the master page in muse

    It is a page of a master, I want to change it is to say change the depth and I can do so only on the master who change them all-hw can I do this on a page

    Thanks in advance

    In fact, to change the height of a given page, there are two approaches that do not involve the master page.

    1. simply add content. Pages in Muse, as the pages on the web, grow in size vertically when adding content. If you draw a rectangle in the middle of the page, then drag it down the foot moves downwards and the page will expand to accommodate that.

    2. go in the Properties Page and explicitly set a larger minimum page height. This sets the initial page height before any content is added. This setting on an individual page replaces the value of the master page.

  • How to apply master pages across sections or whole

    This is a very basic problem that I'm not easily find the answer in the research. I have to apply master pages and consistently, no matter how, I format the query, am advised: "one or more of the specified pages aren't valid page names." So please give an example of how the page/section names are supposed to be written for:

    A book of 100 pages with article 1;

    A book of 100 pages with article 2;

    Application of the changes to the master page to only one paragraph of the book (pages 50-75).

    I know this is similar to "Sec1: 1-100 ', but not exactly the same thing.

    OK, I think I begin to understand what you are doing. You try to use the menu of the Pages Palette to apply a Master Page to a range? You must include the section number for two pages, like this: Sec1:1 - Sec1:100.

    You can also select the pages in the range first, then use the command master apply. It's perhaps easier.

  • Placeholder for the topic title in the master page?

    RH9

    If I create a new topic with No selected master page, the title of the topic that I type in the new topic dialog box would become the title of the topic in the new topic. Is good.

    If I create a new topic with the help of a master page, how to get the same result? What should I put in the master page as a variable or a placeholder so that the new title of the subject becomes the title of the topic?

    Thank you.

    Please do not take into account. Answer is use Insert a field to insert the field title. I did not see this in the manual section RH9 on the Master Pages, but found elsewhere on the web.

    for example the 3 page is numbered as page 1

    Do you mean you just want ot have two pages before the 'official' page 1, or you try to have a number of 'real' page 3 and a negative value of 2 on the same page?

    You can start with page 1 (or any other number) anywhere in the selcting document page in the Panel, then section and numbering options and start a new section.
