masteridxelement html template problem

**ealmquist** · 05-25-2004, 08:47 AM

I'm modifying my html template to include the 'master index' page and I can't get good output for it. Namely, html output doesn't get produced at the masteridxgroup & masteridxelement level. Here's my code for the masteridxelement, which is the same code I used for the idxchildelement:

Code:

@:masteridxelement
@+
        <img src=&Q(RelFile(idxTargetThm, idxPage))>
        

        <font size="-1" face="Arial, Helvetica">&_FileParent(idxTargetPage) &NoExt(idxTargetPage) </font>

I thought that recycling code in this case would work, but I'm not getting any html output, including any errors that help me find a bad variable. Any suggestions? Thanks!

there's a slight bug in the UI that might be causing this.

go to Advanced / HTML Output and select "Use current HTML Setup settings" (ie. turn off your template). The go to Index Pages / Master Index Page and check "Create Master Index Page".

hit OK, to save all the settings.

the, press Advanced, got to HTML Output and re-enable your template.

the bug is that you can't get to the checkbox to enable master index pages if you're using an external template.

Thanks for the tip - I tried this and the same thing happened. I *do* get a master_index.htm file in the directory I expect it to be created. The problem is, I think, at the masteridxgroup or masteridxelement level. I didn't post this before, but here's the masteridxgroup code, too:

Code:

@:masteridxgroup
@ 
    <tr>
      <td>
@@masteridxelement
      </td>
      <td>
@@masteridxelement
      </td>
      <td>
@@masteridxelement
      </td>
      <td>
@@masteridxelement
      </td>
    </tr>

Code:

 
>@:masteridxgroup 
>@

i assume there's a "+" after the last @, above... ?

There is a + there - I must have deleted it by mistake from my post....? I did just now verify that it is in my code, though.

what does your masterIdxPage section look like?

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON May-25-04 AT 09:06AM (EST)[/font][p]Sorry, should have posted that too:

Code:

####

<head>

<title>&_FileParent(idxPage) Index</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FFFFFF" vlink="#c0c0ff" link="#c0c0d0" alink="c0c0e0">

  <font face="arial" size=4 color="#a0a0a0"> 
    &_FileParent(idxPage) Index


  </font>
</center>




<center>
  <table>

  </table>
</center>

</body>
</html>

Perhaps this will be helpful too, the actual output from my master_index.htm:

Code:

<html>
<head>

<title>Freshwater Fish Index</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FFFFFF" vlink="#c0c0ff" link="#c0c0d0" alink="c0c0e0">

<center>
  <font face="arial" size=4 color="#a0a0a0"> 
    Freshwater Fish Index


  </font>
</center>




<center>
  <table>

  </table>
</center>

</body>
</html>

Thanks!
