Question

effectivity in footer

  • April 27, 2010

I need to be able to post the effectivity information in the footer for only those pages containing the effectivity element.

All works ok but unable to turn it off for subsequent pages containing no effectivity.

effectivity only occurs within sheet within graphic element.

Any suggestions out there ?

Regards,

Andy

    Couple of questions:



    Is this using FOSI or XSL-FO?



    Do the sheet elements contain a full-page image, or can they contain an
    inline/partial-page image?

    Hi Jason,

    It's a FOSI and the sheet element can contain either full page or half page....but mainly full page.

    You should be able to create a new pageset, with the effectivity in the
    footer, and set it up so that the new pageset is used when the sheet
    element is encountered (scope=local), so that it returns to the default
    global pageset when the end of the sheet is encountered.



    With the half-page images, this could get tricky, depending on where on
    the page they are emitted...



    Hope that gets you started.

    Hi Jason,

    Thanks for this. I tried this on the graphic element which contains the sheets which workedbut resulted in consecutive rectos when firing the pageset.

    Fire the pageset from the GRAPHIC element, not the SHEET. Unless you have all your "Figures" grouped together in one spot, that should alleviate that problem, for the most part.

    Assuming that your effectivity value is named "effectivity.txt", it seems like you could have a savetext at the beginning of (before) your sheet, like <savetext textid="effectivity.txt[or" whatever]&quot;=" conrule="\\">. Then when your sheet causes an actual value for "effectivity.txt" to occur, it would overwrite the null value. Otherwise, it would stay null. Have you tried this?

    Thanks Steve - all looking good now apart from two consecutive recto pages even though I specify next in the textbrk startpg="next"
