• You can merge multiple Webhelp projects?

  Hi all

  Is it possible to merge multiple Webhelp projects separately created so that when you start a project, you can see the table of contents of other projects as well? (that is to say, they would all appear to be part of the same assistance but were actually created separately). I use RH10.

  Thank you.

• Projects merged not appearing is not in the table of the contents of WebHelp

  By following the instructions on the site Grainge, I created a project merged with the following folder structure:'
  
  BAM\parent-> location of the parent project
  BAM\Child\Project1-> location of the child
  BAM\Child\Project2-> location of the child
  BAM\Child\Project3-> location of the child
  
  I added the metatag redirecting the first topic in the project relative to the default theme in Project1.
  
  When I generated the output:
  
  I received a nested together images of navigation as well as the IE error msg say it blocked the execution of ActiveX content.
  
  The correct TOC books, one for each project, did see as part of external navigation. However, once I clicked to allow content to run, the table of contents would disappear. When I went to IE tools, Options and select to allow ActiveX run from the hard disk, the error stop appearing, but the TOC has disappeared entirely.
  
  I had the extra set of frames of nav to disappear by disabling the nav option in Project1 and when I built it.
  
  Thanks for the tips.
  
  
  
  
  
  

  OK, my bad. The parent project is striking TOCs, I defined in the child projects.

  What confused me was the first time that I have generated the parent project and the child projects, but before I had defined the Mall anywhere (in the parent or child, except of course for the project merged into the parent TOC entries), I saw, for a fraction of a second, in short a book displays for each * collects I know not what it was , but I thought it was by design.

  PS I've used the article on your site grainge as my main source of information.

• Any way to link between the projects merged on HR server?

  Hello. Me once again.

  Is it possible to maintain links between the pages of different projects merged to the HR server?

  Clarify, consider the gross example of presentation of the projects merged in HR server. Say that the authors of the projects have an agreement that project names (for example, "output of the second project") and the first ('welcome') subject will have static names. Is there a way to, for example to create a link in the Welcome th pagee first output of the project , which opens the page home of the second output of the project? If so, please suggest the correct syntax.

  Note: I found that do a right click on a navigation item, copy the link, then paste the link in the address line of the browser, then the project that contains the link opens outside the context of the environment have been merged. Only clean the project navigation is displayed.

  Thanks in advance.

  Answered own question with another experience.

  As I said in the original post:

  > Note: I found that do a right click on a navigation item, copy the link, then paste the link in the address line of the browser, then the project that contains the link opens outside the context of the environment have been merged. Only clean the project navigation is displayed.

  ... If you take this copied link and use it as a the hyperlink address, instead of in the address line of the browser and navigation to him directly, just copy the link DOES not work. For example, the hyperlink works for the original query:

• Projects of WebHelp Pro merged in RH8 - options of CSH does not

  HI -.

  We strive to improve in RH8 RH7. Currently, we have several contextual WebHelp Pro projects that are merged on the RH7 Pro Server. To do this, we simply select the checkbox "merge projects" in the administration tool. (Nothing is done in the client of RoboHelp w/respect to fusion, as should be done with no Pro projects.)

  The main project is the master in virtue being quoted first in the Web administrator. The order of the remaining projects sets their order in the merged help TOC. The main project specifies two appointed custom windows and a custom look. In WebHelp Pro options for the child projects, we put the default = skin and the default window = None.

  The implementation of aid is contextual card IDs. Some have older context strings, defined in .ppf file their respective projects. Everything works as expected in RH7. When a map what ID is called from one of our applications, the individual help topic inherits the project master custom window and the skin. The topic with the ID string or specified mapping context appears in the right pane of the custom management scheme. The table of contents lists the subjects of all merged projects. We used the RoboHelp_CSH.js provided by RoboHelp in the design of this help system. The call looks like this:

  < a
  href = "javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0,'___http://___<ServerURL>/roboapi.asp>MyHelpWindow',HH_HELP_CONTEXT,'5108')" > help < /a >

  We do not specify a project name and the server is happy (still solve the card ID). RH8, we created the same things on the server. However, the "child" projects are not inherit the 'look' (window/skin) defined in the main project. Either the ID card is not resolve. We have also a window simple glazing defined in the main project for help pop ups, who now insists on appearing with other custom frameset of the window (buttons, TOC bar) and topic pane. We changed nothing, other than customer RH8 RH7 project import. The server 'merge' is checked. The call using RH8 had to change and so far looks like this:

  < a href = http:// < ServerURI > / < frame > / server? sector = Area_51 & ctxid = 5108 & wnd = MyHelpWindow > help < /a >

  Note that we have not addressed by using the Robohelp_CSH.js file that is packaged with RH8 yet. Let's first, i.e. ensure that server is running correctly and we have devined the new syntax of the parameter correctly. The question is, what must change for our request for aid work in RH8? The above specified link displays the correct set of HTML frames, but the topic pane is empty/Virgin. If we start on wnd = MyHelpWindow, we get the good topic, but it apears in the window of the default browser of the user, with no table of contents. In addition, if we target the simple window glass I mentioned above, it appears in the expected size and the location defined in the main project, but it's multiple tiles (once again, with an empty topic pane).

  Here is an observation. We found that in the Admin Web of RH7, selection of the main project and clicking View project show default theme of mastery in the custom frameset. Do the same for some children projects, they display their default theme in a simple window (without frames). In RH8, many child projects would display the default RoboHelp frameset and a 404 error in the topic pane. By carefully investigate parameters NewWindow of child projects, we found that RH8 is particularly sensitive if these parameters are nothing else than to have 'A part' and 'Use default browser settings' selected.

  Anyone know why this still does not work? Any help appreciated.

  I have the same problem. I just want to go straight to the help file that calls the context ID.

• Link / merge files chm on PC Clients

  Hello

  We have a master project and add in modules that we can distribute separately according to the needs.

  We'd like to have 1 searchable CHM file, but do not want to include all of our plug-in software component modules in the CHM 1 file.

  My idea was that we have 1 main CHM, then search for other CHM the customers PC files (in selected directories) and includes them.

  Is this possible. I'm ready to move on WebHelp it is possible using that.

  I use Robohelp HTML 10.

  Can thanks,

  Joe

  What you need is merged help where the search returns the results of whatever he can find. So if the file contains only the main chm, it will search only that, but if she finds the module A, thus, that too will be sought. It is transparent to the end user.

  My site contains information which aimed primarily to do that with webhelp but it contains some information on doing with ECMS as well.

  I highly recommend experimenting with some new projects with a few topics in each to get your head around the concept.

  See www.grainge.org for creating tips and RoboHelp

• Linking 2 WebHelp projects

  I have 2 of WebHelp Pro (not merged) separate projects that I need to link them. I use buttons on toolbar customized for each project; a button on A project called project B and vice versa. I need the buttons to load the help system called in the parent window, not in a new window, or in the context of the topic.
  
  I tried the following configurations of the button skin Editor:
  
  Using the Link command and navigation to the other parent topic. This in fact Reload toolbar from BAD parent (the one that is already open) in the topic pane.
  I noticed, also, that making a simple link to http://www.adobe.com opens the Adobe Web site under the heading; I need mine to load as a parent.
  
  Using the javascript onClick:
  parent.frames [1]. Location='c:\HelpProjectB\indexB.html'
  It gives an error "Unable to display the page.". The toolbar is still there for some reason any.
  * This script borrowed skinny Rick Stone on Skins.
  
  Using the javascript onClick:
  parent. Location='c:\HelpProjectB\indexB.html'
  It gives an error "Unable to display the page.".
  * This script borrowed skinny Rick Stone on Skins.
  
  Projects still on my hard drive for the test, and I guess trying to call a file in this way could be the problem. I'm competent enough in RoboHelp, but I'm new to script. I use RH6.
  
  Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  Too bad! I thought about it.

  Skin writing links option is to link a single file (PDF, etc.). The file will displayed as part of the topic and the file will be added to the main directory.

  The parent.location javascript is what I had, but I had to change the forward slashes of------to /.

  I know there is a reason for it, I don't remember what it is though.

• Conversion of a project to use a library project

  Hello.

  I'm trying to convert a large main VI with a lot of sub - VI to a project that would use rather a project library. In particular, I want to pack all or nearly all my SubVIs in a library project (so that I can later reuse these subVIs to various projects) and the main VI would use this library. I hope I have the idea of libraries in the project correctly.

  Now, I thought I'll Pack all my subVIs in a library project and save it as ProjectLib, so I'll create a new project with my main VI and add ProjectLib to this project.

  Here is my ProjectLib with virtual for subVIs folders and Utils (Utils are just more generic subVIs)

  

  and here is my main project VI, with the library of projects above added:

  

  Now, I'm sure I'm doing this wrong, but I can't know what would be the right way to go about this, despite reading and re-reading helps LabView to articles on the issue (like this: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvconcepts/project_libraries/). Nowhere can I find a guide step by step conversion my VI existing with a lot of subVIs to this structure.

  For example, when I opened my main VI now, I see errors caused by all the missing of subVIs. My thought is that I now say my main VI: ' look, this is a ProjectLib I have included, see? Take this Subvi from there! "but I don't see an option for this.

  I would be grateful any ellucidation on how do properly what I'm trying to do. I apologize in advance for any stubbornness on my part.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello SenSLabs,

  It seems that you are attempting to add a project (lvproj) to another project, rather than building a library (lvlib or lvlibp) and adding that the new project.  The easiest way to build a standard .lvlib is described here:

  LabVIEW Help: Creating a library to a project folder project

  http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvhowto/convert_fold_lib/

  Once you have built the lvlib (from the old project), add this library in your project (new) and you should be good to go.

  Kind regards

• WebHelp project on a virtual machine using firefox contains only the title and &amp; quot; i' &amp; quot;

  Hello
  I have a file of important aid in WebHelp format that has a custom look (just different colors and buttons, nothing fancy). "When I look at locally via IE or FF it looks great, when I put it on a server (machine virtual w / windows) I see in Internet Explorer as shown, but when I look in FF I see that the title of the project in the title bar and content 'i' ' on a blank page in the main part of the window... no matter who else seen elsewhere? / ideas on the cures?

  That's what I have been told by the company that hosts my site. Show it to your guys TI. I had exactly the same problem.

  "I would therefore conclude that the solution to this problem (on Linux systems running Apache) is to add the directive AddDefaultCharset utf-8 on the site's .htaccess file or the Apache config. The advantage of the latter is that it affects only the individual sites. The Apache default character set comes from the file of locale on Linux and defaults to iso-8859-1. It is the conflict between the Apache header with iso-8859-1 and utf-8 character page, which obviously causes problems Firefox. »

• Problematic conversion in DVD project

  My video looks great in my project elements, but when I convert it to a DVD, the video and audio do not match upward.  Initially, there are several images which are the same (a slide power point), and it seems that it is eliminating those and move forward the video.  I tried to reduce the duration of the video, with the same results. I also recorded as an AVI with the same results.

  I restarted my pc thought that might be the problem - the same results.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Penny

  A lot of steps, but the finish is superb.

  Good news! I'm glad you got it running and thank you for reporting your success.

  In the workflow, the next time, when you take the WMV in "Prism", try to convert it to DV - AVI Type II, instead of MPEG-2 and import AVI only to the pre. This should remove all controls in the WMV and also save one step of compression. You have one with the WMV to your capture program, another when you go to the MPEG-2, and then a third, when transcode you to DVD. By eliminating the WMV in MPEG-2 compression, you should see an improvement in the final output.

  Good luck and thank you for providing all the information on the issue.

• No news; projects merged with table of contents and the separate indices

  It turns out that I have three projects that will have to be created:
  
  (1) file for Admin users:
  
  Administration
  Users management
  Users (general summary)
  
  
  Folder (2) for the users of the approver/PM:
  
  Users management
  Users (general summary)
  
  
  Record (3) for regular users:
  
  Users (general summary)
  
  I'm not sure if in RH6, I'll be able to generate separate TOC and indexes. Can someone tell me if there is a better approach to enable this functionality?
  
  Kind regards

• Merging WebHelp &amp; amp; Context sensitivity

  Hello. I am extracting a topic I posted in the wrong place. Here's the Exchange that I had with Peter Grainge. In the next post, I'll post my question extra (s):

  Thank you. Now that I understand the difference between HTML Help and Webhelp, I see that this sensitivity to context covers only topic merged with * HTML Help * projects (that use the CHM file). What happened is that I searched on this issue in several forums and did not notice that the heading covers "RoboHelp for HTML Help" (the output type) not 'RoboHelp for HTML"(the type of user interface)!
  
  I see now that my project must use the Webhelp format and I'm glad to hear that the context for Webhelp projects merged sensitivity has been developed successfully and documented already as compatible with RH7!
  
  Due to a combination of VPN access problems, the fact that I only have only another writer working on my project and my deep suspicion of applications like RoboSource Control (which was confirmed by a few trials), I decided to use projects merged instead of the control of source code as a collaboration tool.
  
  I'm sure you will hear more from me. You Rock (rap, or otherwise align).

  OK, answering my own question. (I hope that this will make up for some of the issues stupid newbie I asked so far and received a response very patiently by the gurus - for the most part, Peter G.)

  I just test the sensitivity of context to a merged webhelp project created in RH7 and use IE 7 and it works! Yahoo!!

  * I used the Javascript of a webpage to test call.
  * I only tested the RHShowHelp() function using the HH_HELP_CONTEXT parameter
  * I put the default theme (which is the first topic in the first merged project - one that is redirected to the parent project).
  * I bring a specific topic with no nav pane based on the ID of the card.

  As mentioned, I followed the instructions of Greg Minter of 2006 published on the website of PG. However, here are a few details/changes to these steps (please, forgive me if everyone already knew such things):

  You have not manually copy and paste the ID of the map ID card (* .h) files of the projects in the map ID of the parent-child project file. Just generate the projects of parent and child as usual and the references are automated.

  [Concommitantly] should not manually set the ID of the map (* .h) file in the output folder (mergedprojects\projectnnn), as he describes it.

  Woo-Hoo.

• How to reference a. CHM file rather than copy them into a merged project?

  Hello! I'm new posting. Projects merged CHM files. You may recognize this picture:

  

  When I go to assign one (in my case) an existing merger of the project a new . CHM file, I'm presented with this dialog box. However, I do not want the. CHM file can be completely copied in, I want that it reference a. CHM file. It's because I'm working on an aid project that compiles several other aid projects that get changed separately from time to time. This leaves the project compilation obsolete if the. CHM files are simply copied to; they're just old copies.

  Is it possible to have a merged project point to one. File CHM rather than copy it in so that it reflects the external changes to the. CHM file?

  Thank you!

  Here's the vid. My apologies for the length. It's about 10 minutes long.

• Merger of FlashHelp projects?

  I dreamed that I could do this, I don't?
  
  Is there an "easy way" to merge FlashHelp projects? I have a project that I need to insert in two other projects.
  
  I know that I can import the files and hardcode them the table of contents - but that won't work for a solution in the long run: I don't want to do this constantly.
  
  Tell me that miss me just the answer in the help files... Is there a plug in the solution? No matter what? Otherwise I'll end up with the same set of files in several systems - and who will be a nightmare, too.

  Hi PixelWriter

  There is currently no way to merge FlashHelp files in the way you can merge WebHelp or compiled. CHM files.

  Any reason Webhelp would do in this situation?

  See you soon... Rick
