Conditional User Defined Variable in the table of contents to RH10

Hello

I have a unique project created with tags of conditional compilation for a product in several countries. The name of the company was the same in all three countries, but now the name of the company in a country is about to change. I created UDVs with conditional compilation of tags to apply the appropriate name when aid is produced (Yay for RoboHelp 10 for allowing this).

There are 58 topics in the table of contents that include the name of the company in the title of the topic. My problem is, if I include the UDV to the title of a page in the table of contents, conditional text is ignored.

I guess that's because the table of contents allowing in conditional constructions apply to the page or the book itself and no text in the name of the page or the book.

Please can someone confirm that this is the case? If so, I'll make a suggestion to Adobe.

Thank you.

Hello

I hope that Willam won't mind my expand a little on the issue.

I note that you already seemed to be aware that the UDVs are possible in the text of the table of contents. And if I understand correctly, your problem here is that you want to condition the UDV in the table of contents, right?

Certainly a way to do that would be to have two different TOC entries. And apply tags to each, so that one or the other would be excluded. But to be honest, I always avoided tagging the elements of the table of contents that I saw myself mixed results.

The thought here for me is that I wonder why you feel the need to apply a condition to a variable? Why not use a different version of the variable? Of course, you create variables and insert them, but you can actually create different sets of variables that have different values, then when you create your output you simply choose the Variable you want to use.

See you soon... Rick

  • Variables in the table of contents, glossary and Index

    RoboHelp can use variables in the table of contents, glossary and Index.
    My project needs variables both in terms and definitions (glossary and Index).

    Hi OLH

    That is right. But who knows what will happen in the next version. Currently you can use conditional tags for the table of contents and Index, but not of variables. From a development perspective, there are a lot of problems with the help of the variables of table of contents, glossary and Index, it is not as simple as adding variables to the content of the main .htm file. But it would be a great improvement for the next version.

    Don't forget to submit an enhancement request and play your part by Adobe to aware of these issues.

  • User Defined LOV to the table of the ADF.

    Hello

    I have an obligation to show one of the column as a LOV that provides only O/N values. Is it possible to have a user defined LOV in ADF Table instead of generating the ViewObject.

    Please let me know.

    Version: ADF 11g.

    Thank you.

    Not necessarily. You just create a vo with a request (without creating any table in the backend).

    Check Re: ViewLink with a static list display object example.

    In your case, create a display object based on a query something like

    select 'Y' List_Val, 'Yes' Display_Val from dual
    union
    select 'N', 'No' from dual
    

    After that, follow the same procedure you have to create the model list flown using the VO created above.

  • RH6: User Defined Variable: how to change?

    QUESTION
    Is it possible to change the value of a variable that is defined by the user in RoboHelp 6? If so, please describe.

    QUESTION
    After you change a RoboHelp project, I want to update the value of a user-defined variable, but I don't see any way to do this.

    BACKGROUND
    My PC is under Win XP SP2. I use RoboHelp 6 to create a HTML Manual. I have several subjects; each topic has its own model. A common feature of each model is a version number. I inserted a variable defined by the user to the version number in each model. RoboHelp pushed successfully this version number to all my subjects.

    If you double-click on the user defined Variable in the project manager, you can change the default value here. I think what you want but is a different value for different generations. In the first page of the wizard when you build there is a button of Variables, you can change it there is for this build.

    You can create different configurations for different versions and each will retain its own value. Craig Clarke wrote an article on what will soon be published on the Adobe site. Hope this helps until then as I know that Craig, who has more knowledge of this area, is currently on holiday.

  • Content filtering to display in the table of contents with Actions (possibly using ActionScript?)

    I have 7 Captivate and would like to know if it is possible to filter some slides of OCD.

    The point here is that they may not be static, but change the slides to show transparently based on the choice of the user.

    == Example ==

    You have a file containing below 3 slides captivate. (A, B, C)

    And each slide content is needed for the subject in []. (I, II, III)

    A [I, II AND III]

    B [II, III]

    C [I, III]

    Lets say the user wants to know about the topic-II.

    While the user should only see slides A and B.

    If the user wants to know on the subject-I, then only slides A and C are shown in the table of contents.

    == == End of example

    In my view, that's not possible with only using Captivate and research to achieve anyway. (for example. Load the captivate through Flash and control the captivate Flash with AS3 file).

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You have no control of this type on the default TOC THAT included with Captivate. You can have this control, if you create a custom table of contents and use advanced/variables actions. Advanced actions are converted on the duration of AS3 (for SWF) or JS (for HTML5). Since you talk about Flash, I assume you want SWF-output. I know a lot about system variables supplied, there may be some hidden variables that you can solve with AS3 or (better IMO) with JS, but only system variables for the table of contents is to lock or hide/show it (if in overlay).

  • How can I display the table of contents for the iPod Touch to 6

    When I opened first of all iPod Touch Users' Guide, I used the table of contents (TOC) to locate and access sections in the manual. But, after looking through the manual for awhile, I tried to return to the table of contents, but it wasn't there! I have tried various things to see if the table of contents are being hidden, or if in some way, it has been deleted. Anyone can shed light on this mysterious event?

  • How can I get the action to hide the table of contents to work as part of a conditional Action?

    GOAL: when a user takes the Quiz and fails, I wish they were able to get back underway and reviewing the materials before taking the quiz. As noted in other discussions, I have created actions advanced conditional and standard to achieve this:

    • Quiz results Slide Property executes the standard action "ResultsSlideVisitedAction", affecting a variable (AssessmentVisited) to 1, an indicator that the result slide has been visited.

    ResultsSlideVisited.PNG

    • If a user clicks the Retake Quiz button, instead of going to a "knowledge management", a quiz question classified early in the race with zero points, it goes to the first real quiz question. The slide to check knowledge runs the 'ExcludeKCAction', a conditional, looking to see if the result slide has been visited, which means that the quiz taken. If so, he jumps at the 1st question of the quiz slide.

    KCExclude.PNG

    • I changed my Quiz message fail to tell the user to click the button Retake (which works fine) or navigate using the table of contents to review topics and then resume the quiz. The problem with this is that if a user uses the table of contents and gets to go to the slide to verify the knowledge to conditional action, they are sent directly to the Quiz.
    • So, I took a different tact and decided to ask the user to use a "Back in the race" button to review the course and then resume the quiz. Because you cannot add buttons to the slide of results, I created an invisible button to reset the AssessmentVisited variable to 0, so when the GET to the verification of knowledge, they are not sent for the quiz. I did this by adding the image on a button, and then by superimposing an invisible rectangular shape on top of the button image. This allowed me to add advanced invisible form actions. It worked!
    • The last thing I want to do is to hide the table of contents, so there is no chance of the user to return without resetting the variable. I tried to add the action to hide the table of contents, but it doesn't seem to work. Is this possible?  I tried to move the TOC to hide as actions of 1st, 2nd and 3rd and sill does not. Here is a screenshot of the conditional action that runs when a user clicks on my return to the button a course:
    • ReturnToCourseCondition.PNG

    I appreciate any thoughts on a solution to hide the table of contents as well. Thank you.

    Hide the TOC works only for OCD in overlay, you use a table of contents separate?

    With respect to the Score slide buttons, you make it very complex, it is possible since version 6: buttons on Question/Score 6 Captivate Slides?-Captivate blog

  • 9144 with FPGA and SGL EtherCAT custom user-defined Variables?

    Hello

    I currently have a small instrument driver (rs485) running on a chassis of 9144. The output values are communicated to the master EtherCAT using FXP numbers. I would like to pass these FXP to SGL, since I've upgraded to SP1 2012 LV with FPGA now supports numbers of SGL.

    Is this possible? I tried several times to create the Variables defined by the user of SGL in the project, but the date type is gray.

    Greetings from Munich,

    Götz

    Unfortunately, SGL is not a data type supported for communication to and from a 9144. The types of data available for the I/O user-defined variables are:

    * Fixed point
    * Signed integers (Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64)
    * Integers (UInt8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64)
    * 32 bit field
    * Boolean

    More information on I/O user-defined variables can be found at:

  • Extracts & user defined Variables

    After ~ 5 years not working not with any what HAT, I started a new post on 28/03/2016 and put back the trial HR 2015 a spin. I'm very excited by what I see and were able to do so far.

    I have 3 'entities' to write and I created 3 pages, one page per entity.

    Each of these presentation pages, I have this first line:

    |

    This section describes how to enter and manage [entity].

    |

    I set each [entity] as a user-defined variable. Each page with this sentence I hard-coded and added a reference to the user defined Variable and then produced output. Works great.

    Now, I'm going 'down' a level. What I want to know is how to

    |

    "This section describes how enter and manage."

    |

    be a code snippet. I want it to be an excerpt because when I write a sentence better, I don't have to make the same change on each of these presentation pages. Finally, there are 19 pages of presentation.


    Anyone who structure their content like this?


    What I want to avoid doing several manual changes. For example, if the following examples have been in a RoboHelp project, on https://support.assessment.pearson.com/x/N4Dy, there is this sentence:


    This section shows you how to manage user accounts.


    On this page - support to manage test paper - next to PearsonAccess online User Guide - Pearson Assessment - it is this sentence:


    This section covers all the unique aspects of the test paper.


    What I'm trying to do, is to have an extract which is defined as:


    This section tells you how to


    and refer to it on both pages.

    On the first page, it looks like

    from <>this section tells you how to< / endSnippet >

    user accounts < beginUserDefinedVariable >< / endUserDefinedVariable >.

    Then on the second page, I would say this:

    extract < code > This section tells you how to < / endSnippet >

    < beginUserDefinedVariable > manage paper test < / endUserDefinedVariable >.

    |

    The reason why I want it as a snippet of code is because I don't want to have to maintain "this section tells you how to" text hardcoded on each of these presentation pages. I would like to take advantage of the functionality of content reuse to avoid a bunch of copy / paste or even find / replace.

    Thanks for any help!

    RoboHelp MVP of looonnngggg a long time ago...

    But what you might want to consider, is another variable to contain the desired text in the code snippet. This could be inserted inline. Then update you only in the variable.

  • Addition of registered symbols and TM for user-defined Variables

    Is it possible to add nurses or symbols marks to the value of the User Defined variable? All our help files are single originating in 2 or more brands of products, so I'm excited about this new feature RH7 (I upgraded x 5). But if I can't add these symbols, then this function is also useful for me as the new logo of HR.

    Hi Eilan

    I just tried a unicode character and it seems to work both webhelp and CHMS very well.

    I went to start. Run and enter "charmap". Selected a symbol and it is entered as the value of the variable. In the variable dialog box, it appeared like a square, but HR, it displays correctly in the WYSIWYG editor, preview, webhelp and in a CHM.

    The fact that the symbol is not correctly displayed in the list of variables can be overcome by a skilful titration of the variable.

    And what is the problem with the logo? :-)

  • User-defined function removes the expression hooks

    Trying to convert this column in a user function expression, however when I apply the function to the user hooks literally disappear.

    1 REGEXP_REPLACE (SRC_IO_PHONES_A.PHONE, ' ({: digit:{3})\.(:digit:{3})\.(:digit:{4})' 1 (\1)-\2-\3'),)

    2 REGEXP_REPLACE (SRC_IO_PHONES_A.PHONE, ' ([[: digit:]] {3})------.) () [[: digit:]] {3}). ([[: digit:]] {4})' 1 (\1)-\2-\3')


    These lines come from the same mapping. One implements the user-defined function and the second line is with I plug the code into the target Expression field.


    Any thoughts on why this is?


    Thank you

    So I thought to it thanks to a post of @oraclebase.  Another friend of mine has indicated that user in ODI functions develops a sort of pseudo-code and it is not really passing commands to the database.  Anyway, my research turned to substitute for the construction of all [: digit:].  This resulted in me find the above post where \d = [0-9].  By replacing all the scoring by \d hooks, the function worked.

    How to use the values of the input variables on the table select statement names?

    Hello

    Here's a way you can use dynamic SQL statements for this task:

    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION IS_YDAYDATA_TO_TABLE

    (

    in_schema IN VARCHAR2,

    in_tablename IN VARCHAR2,

    in_datefield IN VARCHAR2,

    in_first_date DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE - 1,.

    in_last_date DATE by DEFAULT NULL

    )

    RETURNS INTEGER

    AS

    -IS_YDAYDATA_TO_TABLE returns 1 if in_schema.in_tablename.in_datefield

    -contains all the dates in the in_first_date of the range through included in_last_date

    - and it returns 0 if there is no such lines.

    -If in_last_date is omitted, the search only the data on in_first_date.

    -If in_first_date is omitted, it defaults to yesterday.

    -Time parts of the in_first_date and in_last_date are ignored.

    -Declaring variables

    sql_txt VARCHAR2 (1000);

    v_is_true INTEGER.

    BEGIN

    ;

    RETURN v_is_true;

    /

    DISPLAY ERRORS

    If you must use dynamic SQL statements, put all the SQL statement in a single string variable, such as sql_txt in the example above.  In this way, you can easily see exactly what will be executed.  Comment out the call to dbms_output under test is completed.

    Try to write functions that will address not only the question that you have now, but similar questions that you may have in the future.  For example, now that interest you only to the verification of the data of yesterday, but later, you might want to check another day or range of days.  The above function combines the convenience of a function simple (looks like yesterday data if you don't tell him otherwise) with the power of a more complex function (you can use the same function to check any day or range of days).

  • Conditional compilation tags or phrases in the table of contents

    Hi all

    I meet another problem with my conversion, this time with the tags and conditional compilation expressions.
    Everything seems to go well in my subjects, but not in my table of contents.

    Some of my topic titles have words with conditional text applied in the source FrameMaker document.

    These subject titles also appear in the table of contents that are automatically generated when I connect my framework book in Robohelp.

    I put the conditional compilation expression in the Webhelp settings dialog box and then save and build.

    These topic titles appear to pick up the correct conditional compilation expression in the subjects themselves, but the title of the table of contents displays several conditions (including the condition that I set myself to 'Exclude').

    Thus, for example, if the title of my topic is

    "Conventions in this documentonline help."

    WHERE
    -----
    document > should appear in PDF format only
    and
    online help > must only appear in Webhelp

    I can get the Webhelp topic to use the title "Conventions in this online help.

    but the corresponding TOC header looks like this:
    "Conventions in this documentonline help.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.
    What

    Conditional compilation tags are not imported to the table of contents of the FrameMaker content. However, you can follow another approach to achieve this. We can manage the conditional compilation expression in FrameMaker itself and import the content of filterted in RoboHelp. In order to achieve this, set the conditional compilation expression in FrameMaker. Enable the setting in RoboHelp to 'apply FrameMaker text building conditional Expression '. [File->-> import-> Edit (FrameMaker settings)-> other settings of project settings]

    This way of RoboHelp will import only the content filtered with conditional tags build resolved according to the expression applied in FrameMaker.
