Is it possible to set active panel using a master ?

Answered Victor Conesa 11 years ago

Hi,


I'm trying since one hour to active a panel who is on a master.


Let me explain.


I have a master called "test" who contain a dynamic panel called "panel1" who has 2 states.


What I want is when I click on a rectangle in my primary screen, I can active the panel1 on his second state.


Is this possible ?


Could you help me with that ?


Thanks you and I'm sorry for my bad english.

Sure it is possible. I think what you need is learn how to use dynamic panel. Here's a tutorial, http://justinmind.com/prototyper/lear...

I'm well aware of how to use a dynamic panel.


My problem concern a panel who is in a master.


In this panel I got two status.


When I'm on screen1, I took my master and place it, I create event on a rectangle1 who set the panel to panel_1 and another event on rectangle2 who set panel_2. And just for you now, there is no button on panel_1 to go to panel_2. They are some sort of step 1 / step 2 but whitout direct link between them.


That's what I can't do. In the tree on the menu "set active panel, I see master1 but never my panel who is in master1 !!


I can't figure out how to manage my panel when this one is on a master, not just a "basic" dynamic panel.


I hope, I'm more clear about what I need to do.


Thanks

I Believe I have the same question.


When I use a master or a template for a common header and footer I am unable to make interactions between either master or template with the main content. For example, in the footer I have a "successful" button that is greyed out until 4 check boxes are checked in the body. Without masters I can easily do this with the active panels, but when I use a master I am unable to create a condition that results in a change to active state of the dynamic panel in the master.


The only work around I have found is to create the main design of the footer in the master and just create a separate button for each page... but I find this a tedious solution as if I change the wording for the button later on this would need to be changed across multiple screens.


I am new to this prototyper and would like some insight if I am missing something. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,


Me too, can't figure out this use case:


1 - create a master MASTER_A with a dynamic panel (state 1 + state 2)


2 - having on a screen a master instance of MASTER_A and an image map IM_1.


I couldn't add the interaction: on click on IM_1 select state 2 of MASTER_A

I have the same problem. Is there a way to set an active panel which is inside a master?


For instance, I'd like to a have a global breadcrumb menu as a master that updates when I navigate to a new screen. Basically I'd like to set its active panel that corresponds the screen I'm in.

+1 for having a way to target events to masters.


Currently there is no way to interact with masters, the only way is an event "On page load" which can change something depending on a variable.


@ogmori


You could achieve this by a trick:


Set events in primary screen:


- on clicking the rectangle change a variable from 0 to 1


- on clicking the rectangle go to page: the same page that you are in


On masters setup an event:


- on page load, if variable is 1, set active panel to panel_1


After clicking the rectangle you will reload the page, but the variable will tell master to change the active panel.

Please add the possibility to change the state of Masters/Templates asap. This is really hard needed for prototyping SinglePage applications.

Hi, any news regarding this? Using dynamic panel in master will be really handy instead of creating multiple masters.

I want an event in master to set-active-panel action outside of master... doesn't seem possible?

If the panel to be set as active is not on the same screen of the master, then no.

However, you could break the master (right-cick -> break master) and then you will be able to apply events to the master on screen. You could also place a hotspot on the master on the screen to apply the events to.

that will do for now, although my strategy was to go as component based as possible, and now I'm having doubts. In a lot of cases I've been able to set a variable, then on the bottom (screen) level catch the variable change and do 'change active panel' in response, works for changing big things that are not inside their own components

Yes, that's another way of doing this. Great idea!
