merge data master pages - problem

OK - I posted prematurely b4 that I could do it successfully but am stuck with a problem that is a show-stopper.

I have a master page spread [left and right pages] who has several fields that I fill out on over 200 pages with the data merge. I got this works ok, but the problem is that the fusion only works on the first master page - and since InDesig starts automatically with a right-hand page - it would be the 2nd page of my spread - I can get the two pages to merge the data correctly, but I end up with a right hand start page - then a left page facing a right-hand page which is not for the same record, but the account given below. Is tehre any way level this? Is tehre a way I can force inDesign to start with a left page?

Change the same to something starting page number.

  • InDesign CS4 Excel data merge on the master page problem

    Hi all

    I had the following problem with an automated data merge document. He reads only the first row of cells in the document. That's what I did.

    Examples of data

    Excel

    Colum A Cel A1: Articlenummer

    Cel A2 12345

    Cel A3 5465

    Colum B Cel B1 Description

    Cel B2 Test 1

    Cel B3 Test 2

    Barcode Colum C Cel C1

    Cel C2 90000

    Cel C3 900001

    On the master page, I made a layout with the folling containers. The diagram below is for 1 item.

    Text for Articlenummer container

    Contatiner text for Description

    For the barcode text container

    I copied the three containers on the page which resulted in the master page with 40 containers for each item.

    I went data merge and connected the TXT document to the first set of containers. InDesign reads the data and place it correctly. But Indesign doenst copy the data in the row of the cell in the following sets of containters. If I connect the document to the next set of containers that indesign don't bed that the data of the first line of the cell which results in a document that contains only the same data.

    Somehelp with that does

    Best regards

    I suspect what happens, that's what I described in my previous post, PARAGRAPH:

    «Indesign takes what he considers a "record" what on the page, that is from the top left to the bottom right of the page, any indesign objects can enter it considers only a record.»

    It's a little hard to explain so I'll demonstrate in images using a simple merge

    If the finished merger looks like

    but, if a chart is placed on the same page (whether the page master or not, doesn't matter) this is where things can go wrong

    but this is easily seen in the preview

    so, when you perform a merge of data with multiple records, the data of the variable must be treated separately to static data (items that will be on every page as a background, or in this example, the smiley face).

    If the merger on a master page, static elements must be on a master page above and variable must be on a master BASED ON the static captain.

    If the merger on a standard page, static elements must be on the master page. The advantage with fusion on a master page is that data remain linked. The downside is that a page can contain variable data in the merged file.

    hope it makes sense.

  • master page problem

    I begin barely using Muse on my iMac and I saw a bunch of tutorials. A couple of things already I have followed with great interest and that they work, but one real big problem is this: I created a bunch of buttons psd with the functional States to link to a registration form and social networks. They are all on the master page (I'm only using a master page to date). On my home page, I made a series of images with text scrolling superimposed to scroll at a faster speed. Looks awesome. Problem is the buttons that are found on all the main pages because they are on the master page moved to a different location on the home page. They still work, but they are in the wrong place. I can't select them. On the master page, they are always in the right position. Any ideas please? I tried to quit and reload.

    Unless the content is included in the page footer area in master, do not change location. Make sure that there are no used html embed, if so then remove it and then check.

    If everything is fine also same issue, then please post a few screenshots of the page master and the homepage in design so listen to excerpts and links to the live site.

    Thank you

  • Horizontal sliding composition on the master page problem

    Hello.

    I have a menu made starting from a horizontal scroll publication in my mobile site's master page.

    Here it is inactive on the left and Active in the right (in gray)

    Screen Shot 2014-09-10 at 12.01.51.pngScreen Shot 2014-09-10 at 10.01.35.png

    The problem is this: when it is idle (as shown below) I can't click on anything whatsoever "below.

    So, for example, here is the page of Services with the main menu at the top right. Even if the menu is not active I can not click on the link text "Learn more" below.

    Another example: I can't slide through the images on the slideshow MSJ drilling on the work page.

    Screen Shot 2014-09-10 at 10.02.21.pngScreen Shot 2014-09-10 at 12.07.41.png

    I would like to keep the effect of horizontal slip but don't know how to resolve this...

    Thank you very much

    Unfortunately using this specific widget will not work. The reason is that, even if you don't see the background of the "Closed" box, it is always there, that's why you can't score anything below.

    You must use the panels/accordion Widget, because this will push the image down or overlay on top of the background.

  • Master page problem pinning

    I've pinned a master page object in Muse.  When I saw the website, objects on the regular pages scroll above the pinned object master.  It seems ridiculous and defeats the purpose of pinning.  Is it possible to fix this or do I have to pin the object on any ordinary Web pages exactly in the same place?

    Pinning objects on the master page will rank the object back when a regular page... then your second resolution is correct, you will pin the object on every page and it size up to solve the problem of overlap.

  • Merge data multiple files problem (repeats the data)

    I'm tring to creat some cataloge pages with 4 images, codes, etc. by page dicritons.

    I have an excel sheet that I have saved in a CSV file to a data source. I have a page with the first record in the superior room and enogh to repeat the record 4 times on the page. When I do the merging of data I'v selected several records per page and put in all spacing and the settings I want.

    Everything seems fine when I click on the multiple reports prevew but when I do the actual merge most mergers copy the same data with only a few records using different data. It generates the right number of documents and pages with 4 records per page, but repeatiing the same record, with the exception of 2 files that were different before returning to the repeating record. Also the record that she repeats is not the first record on the list, it's the 6 of 16.

    I use the version of Indesign CS5.

    One has any suggestions to make it work corrctly or is it a fault wiyh CS5?

    Are you by chance using Preview, then going back or anything like that before running the merge? Another user seems to have identified a bug concerning the box preview last week. Do NOT check that box seems to work very well, as did go directly to merge after checking the box, but every thing has a problem.

  • Problem to hide Master Page data

    Hi Experts

    I create two page master A and B in my document and a pages to which the master page is B.

    Now you use master page page master B I apply a master page master page B.

    Now a master are indicated on master page B, which the master is also, for page B.

    But I want the master data A are not present on the page whose master is B, should only present data in page master B.

    If I use the show/hide property can he hide all the master (has and B both master data of the page) of the page whose master is B.

    How can I do it manually and using script?

    Thank you

    In order to apply, but don't like them... hm...

    If the reason to apply a single master to another was to clone certain properties (not objects) ==> remove these objects from master B (CTRL SHIFT and delete klick) once master has been applied.

  • How to create a master page and detail? Insert > object missing panel data

    Hello

    So I created a database, and I want to read data from the database table. I want when someone clicks on an element of the database to get on a new page and see all the other information on this element. I looked for how to do this and found the master page and detail 'system '. But for this I need an option in the Insert > data panel, the master and detail Page set option. And that's the problem, actually there is no sign of 'data' in the insertion bar in my Dreamweaver product. I use Dreamweaver CC 2015, Windows 8.1

    Is there another possibility to create the master page and detail?

    If you are coding manually, you need not to buy extensions.

    If you don't code manually, you can do it.

  • How to fill my date fields placed on the Master Page to several pages?

    I have a dynamic form with fields flowing. I inserted date fields using the tab of Master Pages in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, Windows 7 operating system. I have only 1 Master Page. Everything on the form works fine, except when I have several pages, date fields are empty on all except the first page. One of the date fields in the event javascript has exit to calculate the second field. I can manually change the fields of date subsequent page (s), but I don't want the end user to have to do. I want that date fields on the new pages to match the date fields in the first pages. Here's my output with notes to provide a visualization of what I'm looking for.

    You set the binding of the two fields date to the ' global mandatory?

    Important each of these fields need to own a meaningful name, for example "date_UserEntry" and "date_Calculate".

  • Master page clears all data

    Hey there, I made a few forms in ES2 now, but ran into a strange problem... The header of the master page that I installed erases all data after a check box is selected. Action script for this check box is only meant to hide a table, but wipe everything as well.

    Another thing, why do the input data for the headers in the master page not show on following pages? I look forward to is sufficient to enter only once. In my case, it's a name field of the Patient who has to stay on top of every page in the clinical report, but im stuck to punch in on each page...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you all in advance!

    If you want the name to appear on each page, then set the binding in the overall binding tab.

    I need to see what the form is done to answer the question 1... can ghoulish you send it to me [email protected] ?

    Include a description of the problem with the email please.

  • Problem with script on the master page

    So I have my build script of the unique number bit that I have posted here before... it's on the Initialize event of the field.


    If (this.rawValue == null) {}
    var d = new Date();
    this.rawValue = parseInt(d / 1000);
    }
    else {}
    this.rawValue = rawValue;
    }

    Which works very well if on the body of the form, but if I put it on the master page it re - initializes (and changes the number) whenever a subform gets shown/hidden. No idea how to stop it from doing this? I tried it on a few other events without a bit of luck.

    I came across another problem with this script, a field called 'Date' was interfering with the script - throw an error "the Date is not a constructor. Is - this normal (function/field collision)?

    Hi Jono,

    I had problems with script within the Master pages before. What I've done in the past, it is a textfield hidden in the main pages of script with overall binding (which featured many here today); then same name textfield in the master page picks it up.

    Good luck

  • Master page + alignment problem

    Hello

    Basically, I work on my site and I created an A-master page. Then I realized that I wanted to have a different master page because I wanted to MAKE another level to appear with the main master page. I'll do that for 3 subheadings more. It should be clear with the photos that I've provided (the right image is the homepage)

    Anyway. When I click on "Editor" he's going to the B-Master page, but this move a few centimeters down. I have reproduced the A-master page, it should be the same alignment. I had problems with the creation of the site where I had to group them so that it works correctly, so I tried this as a solution, but it did not work.

    Any help is appreciated.

    mp2.jpgmp1.jpg

    I thought about it. This is because the header at the top was not in the same position to the other. (God knows why it was not, because I have duplicate pages.)

    I think that when I was inserting a YouTube embed player should have played a little with it. I'm not sure.

  • problems of changing an item on a master page

    Hello

    I was faced with a problem all day.

    I have a large document, use multiple master pages. I want a button on one page to make an element on a master page to toggle visibility. This occurs on all pages that use the master page in question.

    So... here is my code:

    if (this.rawValue == '2') {

    this.resolveNode("#pageSet.CoreMaster.nonDis").presence = 'hidden ';

    }

    if (this.rawValue ! = '2') {

    this.resolveNode("#pageSet.CoreMaster.nonDis").presence = 'visible ';

    }

    I placed it on a radio button set that has values for 1 = no 2 = yes

    If the user selects Yes (ie the value 2) makes the field of text called ' nonDis visible - if they choose No. - He then hides it. The nonDis of the element is on the master page named CoreMaster.

    It works! Finally almost. It only works on the first page of the document. It's the visibility on all other pages (that use the master page in question) still have the text as hidden nonDis field.

    By the way, thinking it was my form (it's abig form) that was at fault, I tried another nine form but nothing that an item, but with two pages and got the same problem - hidden on the first page, but not on the second.

    I have no idea why - can anyone help?

    Thank you very much

    Sunil

    Master pages are repeatable object, they also have numbers of index as [0], [1], etc.

    Your current expression makes referring only the first instance of your master page.

    To refer to all instances, you will need a loop function.

    Member of the var = xfa.resolveNodes("#pageSet.CoreMaster[*].nonDis");

    for (var i = 0; i)< mp.length;="" i="" +="1)">

    MP. Item (i) .its presence = this.rawValue! = « 2 » ? "visible": "hidden";

  • Captivate: No links or clickboxes on Master pages: a way to work around this problem?

    0 down vote favorite share [fb]

    There seems to be a truth well worn in Captivate (I use v5) as no clickboxes or links are allowed on master pages, and that the only solution is to put them on each page.

    I have 6 files with a total of 200 or several pages - I don't want to be sticky laboriously links to each page.

    Is there a better way to do it, a way around the problem "no clickboxes or links allowed in templates?

    Otherwise: I already have clickboxes on all pages, but I want to change the old link for each clickbox to a new link which is the same in all cases - no manually going through each clickbox, but change them all at once if possible.

    Search and replace would be great if it worked for that, but does not find and replace "See" references link to clickboxes

    Yes, it is indeed a bone of contention hackneyed Captivate does not interactive objects on master slides.  Something we hope meet Cp6.

    If you have access to the skills of Flash and AS3 script, optionally create a SWF file or static widget that can be added to a master slide.  This object would then be able to have clickable areas (buttons in Flash) linked to external URLS.  Make them a link to the slides of the same project is also feasible.

    If you want to be able to change the URL of destination of a number of navigation buttons or clickboxes suddenly, so instead of creating the URL in each interactive object, I would suggest you set up a tip Action with the specified URL and come to get other objects at all perform Action Advanced.
