Re: [Framers] Using Frame as a little CMS

Restricting cross-references from pointing to materials that are not inside text insets takes most of the usefulness of text insets out of the equation. The issue with cross-references and text insets is that the FM cross-references contain a unique identifier as well as the file name of the

West Street Consulting's XRef Wizard takes care of the problem with cross-references and text insets: http://www.weststreetconsulting.com/WSC_XRefWizard.htm Requires Structured FrameMaker, though. -j On 2016-04-26 18:06, David Artman wrote: P.S. You missed a REAL and intractable issue: I've

Re: [Framers] Using Frame as a little CMS

A longstanding bug was that cross-references in text insets would not work reliably (e.g. hyperlinks would be dead in exported PDFs), instead you had to use newlink and gotolink. I don't know if Adobe ever fixed that. On Tue, Apr 26, 2016 at 9:06 AM, David Artman wrote: >

Re: [Framers] Using Frame as a little CMS

One idea for you that I hope will be useful for these issues (works for us!): - There is no way, other than our spreadsheet, to see where the text insets are used. So if inset A is used in book A, B, and C, we can't tell that other than through the spreadsheet. You can't click the text inset and

Re: [Framers] Using Frame as a little CMS

Yeah, if I was looking to move away from FrameMaker for the reasons you are, Flare would be the one to beat. Its FrameMaker import is excellent so if your docs are tagged consistently the transition is relatively painless. On Fri, Apr 22, 2016 at 9:10 AM, Tornquist, Patti

Re: [Framers] Using Frame as a little CMS

Could you describe the end result? It's not exactly clear what you're trying to accomplish. Are you generating multiple versions of a document with different sets of insets? If so, how many documents and how many insets? Generally speaking, I would not try to do that with unstructured FrameMaker.

In several posts recently, Framers have mentioned using Frame as a CMS with text insets. We are using text insets in Frame, but we're really struggling with the CMS part. We are "managing" the insets in a spreadsheet and that is not very effective and takes quite a bit of maintenance. Could
