General ⇒ Problems with \listoffigures\thispagestyle{fancy}

[peterd86]

Hello,

i want to create a list of my figures. i use \listoffigures\thispagestyle{fancy} because i have a custom head and tail pagestyle. when the list is only one page big then it works well.
when then number of pages become 2 then my special head will only shown on the second page and on the first page will be shown the normal page-style.
how can i do?
does sb know how to fix this problem?
thx.

Greetings,

Peter

Hi Peter,

welcome to the LaTeX Community board!
You can set the pagestyle inside the lof:

Code: Select all

\listoffigures
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\thispagestyle{fancy}}

In general you could redefine the plain pagestyle to match the fancy layout, see fancyhdr Documentation (\fancypagestyle{plain}{}).

Hi,

welcome to the board!

but the code does not work in my case.

Perhaps provide more information about your case. The best would be a minimal working example.

Hi stefan,

I am having trouble of using fancyheader in multipage table of contents and list of figures. I have 2 pages of toc and lof. On the first page of both toc and lof, my fancy header does not work but on the second page it works. So I want fancy header on page 1 of toc and lof.

Then I followed the solution of "Fancyhdr problem with table of contents" and it worked out for toc. I tried following code and it worked.

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{fancy}}

I copied the same for lof but it didn't work out.

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\thispagestyle{fancy}}

My code looks like. fancy header is a part of Macros.tex but for your information i have copied it before my main code.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{\nouppercase{\leftmark}}
\chead{}
\rhead{}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{%
\markboth{#1}{}}

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report}

\input Macros.tex

\begin{document}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\input Acknowledgement.tex
\input Declaration.tex
\input Abstract.tex

\newpage
\tableofcontents
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{fancy}}

\input ch1.tex
\input ch2.tex
\input ch3.tex
\input ch4.tex

\newpage
\bibliographystyle{alpha}
\bibliography{MasterThesis}
\thispagestyle{fancy}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}

\newpage
\listoffigures
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\thispagestyle{fancy}}
\setlength{\cftfigindent}{0pt}  % remove indentation from figures in lof
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures}

\newpage
\listoftables
\thispagestyle{fancy}
\setlength{\cfttabindent}{0pt}  % remove indentation from tables in lot
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Tables}

\end{document} 

Sorry I don't have any working example but I think this would be enough.

thnnks,

Hi Parthiv,

place

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\thispagestyle{fancy}}

earlier, i.e. before your figures, so that it comes first in the .lof file.

Hi stefan,

i tried to place it before but it does not work. any other possible solution?

thanks,
parthiv

[Stefan Kottwitz]

How does your .lof file look?

Stefan

[prdharamshi]

hi stefan,

as you said "\thispagestyle {fancy}" comes at the very end. And surprisingly "\thispagestyle {fancy}" line is missing in .lot file but still it has correct page layout.

thanks,
parthiv
