  1. Hi, Lisa! I'm just looking to change the image itself -- I know the store editor can be used to change the verbiage for the buttons.
  2. Hi! This isn't a terribly pressing issue by any means, but I'm trying -- and failing -- to override the default button images on a Marcom store. By that I mean the Add to Cart, Checkout, etc. buttons. Doing some digging, I see that a master button image is used for these (found here). I've tried overriding it by pointing certain classes to a different background image using CSS in the page footer. I pointed it to a new image with the exact same position, but I re-colored the green to red. Specifically, I changed the Background CSS property for: .pbtn, .pbtn SPAN, .cbx-btn, .cbx-btn SPAN Unfortunately, only the on-hover images seem to work correctly. The rest are mangled and don't seem to be aligned properly with the background position. Any thoughts? Definitely not a big deal, but it would help with some skinning for a site. Thanks!
  3. Thanks, Dan -- that is actually very good to know. I'll have to dig around in the reference PDFs to read up on placing text on the imposed sheets. If nothing else, the impositionSheetSlugText is good to know about. While this won't help here, we did find a workaround for my original issue. That said, would you happen to know if it's possible to grab the Marcom "Order ID" value with JavaScript? I would love to place this on a slug, as it is a unique identifier per each product ordered and would give production the best ability to match up order to files. Naming the file after the Order ID would be beneficial, too, but that's just a plus.
  4. Hi! Bit of a tricky one here. We have a job that was not originally set up correctly; the one-up FusionPro files did not have crop marks and while the selected default imposition has crop marks, it is the wrong size entirely. Unfortunately, we have a large amount of orders for this said job with the incorrect imposition assigned. I’m trying to correct this. My thought is that I can go into the Dashboard and use the “Imposition Manager” to re-assign a corrected imposition to the product. I would think I could go in to the dashboard with the Catalog Orders, select all orders for that product, and then select a correct imposition that I’ve uploaded. From there, I would process the job and create an imposition which would generate a batched PDF. The problem is, once the batched PDF is generated, the info slug displays information for the entire job rather than individually on a page by page basis. For example, suppose I have 2 orders for the product. When I group them together on an imposition, each page reads “Job Number: JB-A-34 Order Number: PO#0000112, PO#0000113 Order Date: 10/17/2012 6:26:57 AM Run Count: 48, 72 Stock_type: Inks: 10/17”. That’s wonderful and all, but how would production know which page in the PDF correlates to which order number and run count? My only thought now is to run the imposition manager for each individual order, but for 1,000 orders…this could take a while. As far as I know, there’s no way to re-process a job’s 1-up or Imposed (Default) to use a different imposition or template. Any thoughts? Am I missing something obvious? I appreciate any help in advance. I know I may not have done the best job in explaining this, so please let me know if anyone needs further clarification.
  5. Right before I was about to send an email, I checked the Configuration tab for the template in MarcomCentral. Under the Edit Press Settings section, there is an option for Disable Repeat Records. The option defaults to "Yes" for some reason. I changed the option to "No" and re-published the product. It works like a charm now. Thanks again for all your help...I guarantee I wouldn't have figured it out otherwise!
  6. The button is not checked in the Compose settings, and the .CFG file it generates lists "IgnoreRecordRepeat=No". It does look like MarcomCentral is changing the setting upon upload. I'll talk to our CPM to see if we can get this worked out. Thanks for your help, Dan!
  7. Ah hah -- I think we might be getting somewhere here. I added the line at the end of the function, and this result is added to each record: IgnoreRecordRepeat is Yes Is there any way this can be set to "No"?
  8. Hi, Dan -- thanks for the quick replies. I added it to the end of the OnRecordStart rule. At the end of each record (from the first to final), the log reads: CompMode is undefined I'm guessing this isn't the desired outcome?
  9. Excellent! I didn't know that these log files could be generated or read -- very helpful. I submitted a file with a total of 50 records, and a BulkCount request of 20. After the header information, I get the following: The <graphic> tag for copyhole "Full Imprint Graphic" is missing a "file" or "resource" attribute; the invalid tag is ignored. The <graphic> tag for copyhole "Wide Logo Graphic" is missing a "file" or "resource" attribute; the invalid tag is ignored. The <graphic> tag for copyhole "FontSelectionFront" is missing a "file" or "resource" attribute; the invalid tag is ignored. The <graphic> tag for copyhole "Finished Coupon Graphic" is missing a "file" or "resource" attribute; the invalid tag is ignored. The <graphic> tag for copyhole "Product Logo" is missing a "file" or "resource" attribute; the invalid tag is ignored. The <graphic> tag for copyhole "Small Logo Graphic" is missing a "file" or "resource" attribute; the invalid tag is ignored. The <graphic> tag for copyhole "Manufacturer Logo" is missing a "file" or "resource" attribute; the invalid tag is ignored. Record Count is 50 Current Record Number is 1 BulkCount is 20 repeatRecordCount is 1 repeatRecordNumber is 1 Graphic rule Preloaded_Finished_Coupon_Graphic did not return a resource of type graphic Graphic rule Preloaded_Small_Logo_Graphic did not return a resource of type graphic Graphic rule Preloaded_Wide_Logo_Graphic did not return a resource of type graphic Composing record #1, input record 1 OnCopyfit, line 3: warning: Could not copyfit text in flow The graphic rule errors are fine -- they're the result of rules pulling external resources and conditional page suppression. From looking at this, the total records and current records are fine, as well as the bulk count. The repeatRecordCount is correctly set until 1. These repeat as expected until the last record, which shows the following: The <graphic> tag for copyhole "Full Imprint Graphic" is missing a "file" or "resource" attribute; the invalid tag is ignored. The <graphic> tag for copyhole "Wide Logo Graphic" is missing a "file" or "resource" attribute; the invalid tag is ignored.

We can see that repeatRecordCount is correctly set to 21 and the conditional print is indeed called. The third line from the bottom even says "repeat 1 of 21". Then it abruptly ends without repeating...any ideas? It seems like the problem is that the records aren't being repeated correctly when composed.
  10. I've done a couple hours of testing today to get this narrowed down. I placed the variables in text fields and sent them all the way through the dashboard. The results: The code correctly grabs the total number of records The code correctly grabs the current record The code correctly grabs the number of bulk records requested Eventually, I decided to just see if I can get any records to repeat by placing the code below in the OnRecordStart with no conditionals: FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = 2; That code above should just create double the total number of records. It does this in desktop, but does not do so when submitting the variable product through Marcom. This is a similar issue to what was mentioned in this thread here. Is there a reason why repeatRecordCount does not seem to function via MarcomCentral? Is there a different function I should be using? Thanks in advance...getting closer to narrowing this down.
  11. While that might explain the preview page showing incorrectly, that still has us wondering why the records are not repeated on the composition when an actual order is placed. My understanding is that at that point, the piece is being composed via FusionPro server.
  12. Hi, Dan! Good idea -- I tested it, however, and BulkCount is defined and correctly outputs the value entered in the field.
  13. Salutations! We have a bit of a complicated one here that we can't seem to figure out. The problem is as follows: We have a variable product that requires a mail list upload. However, we want to have the ability for the user to enter in a quantity into a field to add bulk copies to the order. The only difference between bulk and mail copies is that the mail address is suppressed. Additionally, we want to put a cover sheet in front of bulk records and possibly output them as a separate file entirely so that production knows what is bulk and what is mail. We have the solution below which works perfectly fine in FusionPro desktop. It will tack on a number of bulk copies to the end of the document and a cover sheet will precede them. However, it falls apart when composing in MarcomCentral. First of all, the preview will show the cover sheet no matter what. Second of all (and more important) is that the bulk records are not created at all once the job is processed on the dashboard. Can anyone provide some help? Why won't this work when done through MarcomCentral? Many thanks in advance! The code for our OnRecordStart is below: var RecordCount = 0; //Determine total # of records. if (FusionPro.Composition.isBatch) { // MarcomCentral RecordCount = Int(FusionPro.Composition.JobOptions["MCC_num_records"]); } else { // FP Desktop RecordCount = new ExternalDataFileEx(FusionPro.Composition.inputFileName, ",").recordCount; } //If current record is last record and a value is entered in the Bulk Count field, repeat the last record //to equal the # of bulk count. if (CurrentRecordNumber() == RecordCount && Field("BulkCount").length > 0 && Int(Field("BulkCount")) > 0) { FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordCount = (Int(Field("BulkCount"))+1); } //If on the first repeat record, enable the cover sheet for bulk product. if(CurrentRecordNumber() == (RecordCount+1)) { FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("BulkCoverSheet", true); } //If on a repeat record, suppress the address block field. if(FusionPro.Composition.repeatRecordNumber != 1) { FindTextFrame("1234").suppress = true; }
