[JS] CC2017 .topics.add

[Liphou]

Bonjour à tous,

Je ne parviens plus à créer un index avec CC2017

function addTopic() {
var doc = app.documents[0];
        //var monTest = app.selection[0].contents;
    var new_topic = doc.indexes[0].topics.add (app.selection[0].contents);
    new_topic.pageReferences.add (app.selection[0], PageReferenceType.currentPage);
}

Cette commande me renvoie une erreur !

Merci pour votre aide

Philippe

Please always state the exact error message you get. "An error" is totally not helpful.

Apart from that, there are several clear errors I can already spot.

1. Your braces do not match (wrong on line 1).

2. "silence" is not a property I recognize.

3. Didn't look it up but I don't thing "Add" is a known function, because (probably) all standard functions start with a lowercase letter.

Bonjour et Merci Jongware pour c'est remarque très juste ...

Voici mon erruer "Object is Invalid"

Je n'ai pas vérifié si j'avais un index !!!! voilà l'erreur.

  if (myDoc.indexes.length == 0)  {
            myDoc.indexes.add ();  
        }

Merci

[Ow -- je suis très désolé! My French lessons are several decades ago and so I tend to hit "Translate" if I'm not sure I get the message. I also did not spot that your original "add" gets 'translated' to "Add", suddenly gaining a capital! So please ignore those remarks.]

Hi Jongware,

the OP never used property "silence" with the code.
This is an error of the forum's Translate feature if you go from French to English ( sigh!).

In the original version there is "contents"…

Uwe

Wow the translation engine is creative, "contents" in french would be litterally "happy people". I can't see how it coud be converted to "silence"

Hi Loic,

yes. Funny, isn't it?
Jive must not translate anything that's formatted as code.
But apparently…
( Arrgh!!! )

Regards,
Uwe

You are presuming an index exists by using doc.indexes[0]

Are you sure about that ?

function addTopic() {  
var doc = app.documents[0];  
  //Referencing the first index in the collection
  var myIndex = doc.indexes[0];
  //Trying to resolve the reference and if not found, creates a new index instance
  !myIndex.isValid && myIndex = doc.indexes.add();
    var new_topic = doc.indexes[0].topics.add (app.selection[0].contents);  
    new_topic.pageReferences.add (app.selection[0], PageReferenceType.currentPage);  
}  
addTopic();
