kpudlo: There is no way to run a macro automatically when a page is created. Even if there was, it wouldn't work for Where am I macro since you need to first enter a title for the macro to add the correct breadcrumb and when you have just created the page, there is no title.

Hello Omer,

I've been looking into Onetastic, and some of the features are amazing! I was wondering if there was any way to run a macro automatically when a page was created?

Essentially, I'm trying to add breadcrumbs (Where am I +) every time a new page is created.

Thanks!

Still missing a level instead "Where am I" (not plus version) is not affected by this problem.

The problem reported by Varzen is still present. The macro misses the link of a section-group that is located at the first level under a notebook (NOTEBOOK > SECTION-GROUP > SECTION > PAGE). Curiously, if the macro is run in a section that is under a 2nd level section-group the are not problems (NOTEBOOK > SECTION-GROUP > SECTION-GROUP > SECTION > PAGE).

I compared both Where am I and Where am I+.
Where am I+ is missing a level.
It gives me Notebook, section name, page name but is missing the section group name. Off to uninstalling...

ok - that makes sense.
I was hoping this would create a series of links where when you clicked on the Section and you were in the Page - it would take you back to the Section's top page. And Notebook would take you to the Notebooks first Section - first page.

What I currently do is create a link in the section page to itself, then copy that box and paste it on every sub page as a 'return to ....'

The links would look like they don't do anything, because you are already at the correct place. For instance if it inserted links like: Notebook > Section > Page, then clicking on the Notebook link would do nothing because you are in that notebook already. Similarly clicking on the Section or Page link would supposed to take you to that section and page, but you are there already so the link seems to be doing nothing. So you may ask what is the use for this. Generally in large notebooks it is hard to figure out where you are, so the breadcrumb explains where you are. Also if you email this page to someone, then they can use the links from the e-mail. You can similarly just copy that line with links and send to someone if you want to send them the link to a page.

While I like the showing of the current page. It doesn't seem to do anything? or am I using it wrong?

I tried clicking on one of the parent page links - and nothing happens?

Thanks

Could one modify this to let the breadcrumb be written to head of current page, not on new outline?

thx
