Help with radio buttons

[Mike Bro]

Hello forum!

Can someone help me make a couple of radio buttons functional for odd or even pages to this existing script?

I have separate script to create new pages "BEFORE" doc.pages but I would like to have the two options in one.......not two separate scripts.

I tried to reach the person who originally posted the below script but they haven't been on the forum in months.

Thanks for any help in advance!

//original

var doc = app.documents[0]; 

var masterNames = doc.masterSpreads.everyItem().name; 

var d = app.dialogs.add({name:"pick a master spread"}); 

d.dialogColumns.add().staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Master Pages:"}); 

var dd = d.dialogColumns.add().dropdowns.add({stringList:masterNames}); 

if(d.show()){ 

     var index = dd.selectedIndex; 

     d.destroy(); 

} else { 

     d.destroy();exit(); 

} 

var master = doc.masterSpreads.item(index); 

for(var i=doc.pages.length-1;i>=0;i--){ 

     doc.pages.add(LocationOptions.AFTER,doc.pages,{appliedMaster:master});

} 

//

var doc = app.documents[0];

var masterNames = doc.masterSpreads.everyItem().name;

var d = app.dialogs.add({name:"Apply Master Page"});

d.dialogColumns.add().staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Master Pages:"});

var dd = d.dialogColumns.add().dropdowns.add({stringList:masterNames});

//added radio buttons

var radioBtns = d.dialogColumns.add().radiobuttonGroups.add();

  radioBtns.radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Odd Pages",checkedState:true});

  radioBtns.radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Even Pages"});

     if(d.show()){

     var index = dd.selectedIndex;

     d.destroy();

     } else {

     d.destroy();exit();

}

     var master = doc.masterSpreads.item(index);

     for(var i=doc.pages.length-1;i>=0;i--){

     doc.pages.add(LocationOptions.AFTER,doc.pages,{appliedMaster:master});

     }

Hi,

Did you consider to modify your masterSpread as predefined two pages  (odd/even)?

Hi Jarek!

The original script applies the selected master the the even pages or the pages AFTER, so currently running the script on a 10 page document it will give you ten additional pages of the selected master, one AFTER each of the original 10 pages.

Original option is only for the Master pages.

I would like to make the added radio buttons functional, giving the option to add the selected master either before or after the existing pages in a document.

Thanks for any help or guidance you may have!

Hi,

Define a var 'even' to cover selected Button and differ an action:

var
    doc = app.activeDocument,
    masterNames = doc.masterSpreads.everyItem().name,
    d = app.dialogs.add({name:"Apply Master Page"}),
    dd, radioBtns, index, even, master;
d.dialogColumns.add().staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Master Pages:"});
dd = d.dialogColumns.add().dropdowns.add({stringList:masterNames, selectedIndex:0});
radioBtns = d.dialogColumns.add().radiobuttonGroups.add();
radioBtns.radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Odd Pages",checkedState:true});
radioBtns.radiobuttonControls.add({staticLabel:"Even Pages"});
if(d.show()){
    index = dd.selectedIndex;
    even = radioBtns.selectedButton;
    d.destroy();
} else {
    d.destroy();
    exit();
}
master = doc.masterSpreads.item(index);
for(var i=doc.pages.length-1;i>=0;i--){
    if (even)
        doc.pages.add(LocationOptions.AFTER,doc.pages,{appliedMaster:master});
    else
        doc.pages.add(LocationOptions.BEFORE,doc.pages,{appliedMaster:master});
    }
