Freeway Reference: Working with Pages

The next screenshot (right) shows the HTML item
containing the word “photographer” selected on the
Welcome page, and you can see that this is a Master
item because its Name/ID begins with “m”—in this
case the item is called “m2” (which, if you select the
item on the Master page itself, is what it is called there
as well). Another way to tell that this item is a Master
item is by looking in the Inspector to see that the
various “Use Master …” options are listed).
Note that the Site Panel shown in the screenshot above
is in Page mode (which is displayed when you click
on the header bar of the Site Panel to toggle the view
from “Site” to “Page”) so you can see all the items on
just that page. With the item selected on the page, you
can see that the Site Panel has the item called “m2”
highlighted.
As mentioned earlier, graphic items imported into
an item drawn on the page will not use a Name/ID
beginning with “m” in the same way as other items
drawn on the page will do—as can be seen in the
screenshot on the right. Note that the logo in the top
right of the page is selected, and this item was created
by drawing a graphic item on the page and then
importing a graphic into it. The name displayed in the
Name/ID field (and the name of the item in the Site
Panel list) is the name of the imported graphic file but
without the file suffix (.jpg, .gif, etc.).
Although the name of the item does not start with the
letter “m” as other Master items do, it is still possible
to see that this item is a Master item because the four
different Use Master… options appear underneath
the Name/ID field of the Inspector (even though two
of them are greyed out in the screenshot). If you see those options displayed in the Inspector when an item is selected, this will always
mean that the item has been inherited from the Master page.
As you can see in the next screenshot, if you select a
unique item on that page (i.e., one that was drawn on
the Site page and not on the Master page) you won’t
see the Name/ID beginning with the letter “m” (as
it did when selecting the item containing the word
“photographer”) and you won’t see any Use Master…
options in the Inspector.
Earlier, you will have seen that we said: “How much
you decide to use on your Master page in terms of
common content is entirely up to you” —and the
reason this was mentioned is because you need to know
what will happen to a Master item or page setting if
you move or resize it, and what Master Settings will
still be used on that item if you edit the content of a
Master item on a Master page. This is a very important
part of the concept of Master items, and learning the
differences between the different settings will mean you may want to work in a different way.
Before moving on to the four different Use Master Settings, you may have noticed that the selected Master items in the screenshots
of the Welcome page display with red handles around them. Please note that this is nothing to do with how Master items display, it is
simply due to those items being locked on the Master page. In the Using Freeway tutorial we recommend that you lock Master items
to prevent them being accidentally moved on the Site pages. If you decide not to lock Master items, you will see no difference to the
handles of selected items. You can read about locking items in the Working with Items section of this manual.
The “Use Master…” options for pages and items in the Inspector’s General Settings tab
As shown in the screenshots of Master items earlier, there are up to four Use Master… options displayed in the General Settings tab of
the Inspector:
•
UseMasterContent
• UseMasterSettings
• UseMasterActions
• UseMasterChildren
