Script to automatically link page frames?

Question

After doing a data merge, I need all the text frames to link so they are all flowing together. Is there a script that will do that? possibly calling out a specific object style used for that text frame?

Name the text frame on your template layers panel before running the merge, then try this on the merged document. In this case, the text frame would be named "templateFrame".

var ps = app.activeDocumment.pages;
var ct, nt;
for (var i = 0; i < ps.length - 1; i++) {
    ct = ps[i].textFrames.itemByName("templateFrame");
    nt = ps[i+1].textFrames.itemByName("templateFrame");
    ct.nextTextFrame = nt;
}
