Question

Why does the page number change

Hello

I need to change section marker manually all the time with choosing the page.

I want to change section marker without going to that page.

I wrote a script for that but script is corrupted and it changes the location of the page.

My aim is to write page number  on script to change the section marker from that page

How can I fix this?

var w = new Window("dialog", "Section");
var panel = w.add('panel', undefined, "----");
var grup = panel.add('group', undefined, "");
grup.orientation = "row";
grup.add('statictext', undefined, "Page");
var sayfa = grup.add('edittext', [0, 0, 50, 25], "1")
grup.add('statictext', undefined, "Section Marker");
sayfa.graphics.font = "Tahoma:16";
var kisim_isaretcisi = grup.add('edittext', [0, 0, 50, 25], "A")
kisim_isaretcisi.graphics.font = "Tahoma:16";
kisim_isaretcisi.active = true;
w.add('button', undefined, 'Tamam', {name: 'OK'}).onClick = function() {
w.close(12345);
}
if(w.show() == 12345) {
var doc = app.activeDocument; 
var syf = Number(sayfa.text);
var curSec = doc.pages.item(syf).appliedSection; 
var name = curSec.name
var ksm = kisim_isaretcisi.text;
if(!syf){
syf = i;
}
doc.sections.add({pageStart: doc.pages.item(syf-1), marker: ksm, name : name })
}

Hi,

First thing, you shouldn't use "name" as a variable name, and I can't see where "i" is defined, so I modify those parts.

Second, for keeping page number, you need to disable / enable again continueNumbering.

I added : continueNumbering : false, pageNumberStart : syf

var w = new Window("dialog", "Section");  
var panel = w.add('panel', undefined, "----");  
var grup = panel.add('group', undefined, "");  
    grup.orientation = "row";  
    grup.add('statictext', undefined, "Page");  
var sayfa = grup.add('edittext', [0, 0, 50, 25], "1")  
    grup.add('statictext', undefined, "Section Marker");  
    sayfa.graphics.font = "Tahoma:16";  
var kisim_isaretcisi = grup.add('edittext', [0, 0, 50, 25], "A")  
    kisim_isaretcisi.graphics.font = "Tahoma:16";  
    kisim_isaretcisi.active = true;  
w.add('button', undefined, 'Tamam', {name: 'OK'}).onClick = function() {  
    w.close(12345);  
}  
if(w.show() == 12345) {  
    var doc = app.activeDocument;   
    var syf = Number(sayfa.text);  
    var curSec = doc.pages.item(syf).appliedSection;   
    var sName = curSec.name;
    var ksm = kisim_isaretcisi.text;  
    if(!syf){  
        syf = 1; //i;  
    }
    var thisSection = doc.sections.add({pageStart: doc.pages.item(syf-1), marker: ksm, name : sName, continueNumbering : false, pageNumberStart : syf })  
    thisSection.continueNumbering = true;
}

    I created an 8 page document

    run script  page:1 section: A  (I write)

    result  pege 1-8 section A

    and again run scritp

    page: 4 section : B

    result  page 4-8 section B

    great no problem

    and then

    run scritp

    page: 4 section : C

    result  page 4-8 section B  (no change)

    and again run scritp

    page: 1  section : K

    result  page 1-4 section K  (changed)

    Total : Does not change the next pages

    That's because you change the section, while the script only apply a section.

    You need to modify the script for this case, or not to make errors when applying sections
