Index tab appears in RoboHelp HTML

• Index entries properly merged into RoboHelp HTML 6

  When I compile a help file, the index entries that should appear in alphabetical order and therefore consecutively, such as 'Menu' and 'Message' are merged together, as in "Menu\Message", while the second index entry appears as a subkeyword of first entry, instead of as a separate entry. The keywords in the index appear as entries separated in the pane of the Index, so I don't know why they merge when compiling. No idea why this would happen or how to fix it?

  It's a matter of conditions and I managed to fix it. The application of the compilation tag conditional 'Admin' on the 'Message' inputs index has failed without an associated admin help topic. However, I searched help Admin listed some topics suitable admin 'Message' and adds the index entries "Message". After compilation, the index entries and 'Message' subkeyword now appear correctly and are not combined as well as the previous index entry.

• RoboHelp HTML 9 Max pane search controls results

  RoboHelp HTML 9 with WebHelp output...

  I have a two part question. By default, when our users to do a search in compiling dhelp, they see 10 search results per page. Is there a place in my RoboHelp interface where I can change this for the greatest number? I found a line of code in a file *.js where it seems that I could change it manually, but would prefer not to have to do this route in the case which causes involuntary hiccups elsewhere.

  var nMaxResult = 10;

  Second part of my question is related to the statement in notes/new features release for RoboHelp 9 State users can control the search results notes max per page on-the-fly as they use the PDF search panel. This feature applies only to the WebHelp and WebHelp Pro and my output is WebHelp. I can see a line of code for this feature in the whfform.htm file but nothing shows like that in the search within compiled help pane. Is this a bug or is at - it a control somewhere in the settings of the RoboHelp project that allows me to activate this option for users? The last 2 lines below seems to control this area. The referenced items in the search pane in the first 4 lines appear ok in my search bar.

  gsTitle = "Type in the words to search for:";
  gsTitle = "Type in the words to search for:";
  gsHiliteSearchTitle = "culminating point search results."
  gsHiliteSearchTitle = "culminating point search results."
  gsMaxSearchTitle = "Search results per page";
  gsMaxSearchTitle = "Search results per page";

  Thanks for any idea that you can provide,

  KF

  I don't see anywhere in the configuration dialog box to control the number of search results, it seems that you have to edit this file.

  When the user goes to the 'search' tab, they should see this:

  

  See if you get this with a new project or one of the samples. Click Open in the start page of RoboHelp and then click examples in the Ribbon on the left.

• RoboHelp HTML X 5: merged help showing no no ToC

  Hi all:

  Hoping someone can help me here.

  I've been creating merged help for a while now without problems. But you have this problem today after compiling a particular project after a 15-month hiatus. When I compiled the project parent/master, the table of contents shown projects of the child and the InfoBar displays the following message is displayed:

  "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options... »

  I ignored the message and clicked on the child projects to verify if they appear correctly. Each project of the child opened the new instance of Internet Explorer - this has not happened before. The last time that I respected this parent, everything worked well project work and child projects that are open in the same instance of the browser.

  Secondly, when I right click on the message bar and has chosen to allow the blocked information content, the ToC has disappeared.

  Just in case where it is relevant, my predecessor employer all our PC last month and all software should be reinstalled.

  Would it be because of the new version of IE? (My old machine could have an older version.) Or the fact that I did not install the updates in Robohelp X 5? (I get the message that the Macromedia server is down). I have not activated the product, but either.

  
  Would appreciate any advice/indices.

  Thanks in advance

  Sophie

  Hello

  Usually, you can prevent this message from appearing by activating Mark of The Web (MOTW) in the generation of WebHelp options. The unfortunate part, which is that you said X 5 and X 5 do not offer this option. So the next best thing you can do is to configure IE so it does not present the yellow information bar. To do this, open the Internet Options in IE. Click the Advanced tab and scroll down to the Security section. Place a check in the option 'allow active content to run in files on my computer ".

  

  Note that this affects only your own computer. If you expect your users to copy the WebHelp files on their local disks of C, you'll have to teach them to perform the same steps. But if you send your content to a Web server, you should not experience this problem.

  See you soon... Rick

• Search RoboHelp HTML 8 problem

  I have a RoboHelp 8 HTML single (non-merged) project in which, I can't get search working properly.

  I was expecting to see a box where I can type a search term and a white pane on the contents, Index, search, glossary bar where search results would appear.  Instead, I get the following when I generate WebHelp:

  

  
  This problem appears in IE 6, IE 7, Firefox 3.0 and 3.5 of Firefox, which uses our customer base.  I use RoboHelp 8 on a Windows PC with XP Pro 2002 SP3.

  In the project/general settings dialog box, the default parameters for the Stop List I and her always ignore list selected.  For "add new keywords for ' I 'Index File (Perfect)' selected, and 'Binary Index' is selected.

  During the generation of WebHelp, I have the following set:

  General selections: under 'Additional Options', 'apply to all subjects","CSS"is selected, with the correct name of the CSS is displayed.  'Add the Mark of the Web' is selected.

  Selections of navigation: contents, Index, search, for the buttons of the toolbar, glossary are selected.  For Search Options, 'Search results select Enable' is selected.

  Selection of preferred Format of navigation pane is pure HTML.  (We tried DHTML/HTML but which resulted in an empty nav component and a non-functional index).

  Optimize the speed for: Web Site (Internet)

  Publish: Publish again together.

  What we're doing wrong?  I'm totally stumped and I can't seem to find any help on this issue anywhere.  Thank you!

  Hello

  This is because you use pure HTML. You must enable DHTML, otherwise, it seems that you see.

• 8 of RoboHelp HTML - layout VERY basic and naming issue.

  OK, I'm sure this must be obvious to everyone because I can't seem to find in the places I tried. My personal experience with the help files is not help (Yes, I know, pun intended).

  I create a RoboHelp HTML to a PDF file.

  When importing the file, I give myself the opportunity to create a new topic based on a style. Great so far. After doing experimental and looked at the exit that I am of the feeling that "something" is "an HTML document that, in theory, covers an area of interest, that's why the subject of the phrase.

  Then I opened the help file for IE I see the content as "Find the Pages Web You Want" and «Browsing the Web Offline» None of them can be selected to display information in the right pane, but open both to show what I will call "subtopics", which each opens what appears to be an html document in the right pane.

  Adobe Help files are a little easier to deal with, just navigate to the folder for help and there are all of the HTML files.

  So, I'm confused, and I have a major mental block which makes it difficult to act without getting a hierarchy/layout. And if this information is available in Robohelp or place help me smack in line, right to the back of the head and point me in the right direction because I'm not.

  Internet Explorer help, what should I call the links in the left pane, where I can click to bring up a page in the right pane? What I call the elements that I can stress that, when clicked, display list clickable links? And it is true that if I ask RoboHelp to create a topic out of each of a given style, then I'll have a separate HTML document for each instance of this style?

  
  Thank you

  Solon

  Hi there and welcome to the wonderful world of wild and wacky to help creation!

  The area on the left side is generally called a "Navigation pane". The Navigation pane usually has different points of view. Table of contents (TOC), Index, glossary, and of course, research.

  Table of contents contains a metaphor books and Pages. Each book contains Pages inside. Each Page includes links directly to a file HTML (Topic).

  Indeed, if you are suck content PDF, RoboHelp is told what the criteria is to divide the long PDF document in individual HTML topic pages.

  Hope this helps a bit... Rick

• Glossary tab appears not and glossary pop ups do not work

  TCS 3.5 (10 FrameMaker, RoboHelp HTML, version 9)

  Windows XP sp3 version 5.1

  Internet Explorer 8.0

  My apologies if this should be in another forum.  In addition, the research I found that the problem is usually that the DLL was not loaded - I did. So I am at a loss. Thank you in advance for your help!

  Problem: my .chm output does not have a glossary tab and text glossary in my subjects pop-ups do not work.

  Context: since I'm new to TCS 3.5 I will give my whole process. Frankly I do not know if my whole process is correct.

  As follows:

  Until I started: I loaded the HHActiveX.dll. Here is the proof:

  

  2. Create an empty project.
  3. Master page import (file > import > Master Page).
  4. Load settings from the project (file > project settings > import).
  5. Link to the FrameMaker book (file > link > FrameMaker Document)
  6. Configure the properties (right click the book HR of the file, and then click Properties).
  7. In properties, select Convert FrameMaker Table of contents and give a name.
  8. In properties, select Convert glossary and give a name.
  9. Project Manager pod, click the glossary (GLOBAL management system) and click on set as default.
  10. Update of project (file > update > update all).
  11. Run the wizard of Hotspot glossary (when you run the wizard, select the glossary which has been defined as default in step 8)
  12. Change the script UpdateMarkedGlossaryTerms.jsx (change the GlossaryName variable to the glossary created in step 8 and change the variable GlossaryStyle to TextPopUp)
  13. Run the script marked update glossary (pod script, right-click the script UpdateMarkedGlossaryTerms.jsx Explorer and click Run).
  14. Run the graphicinreferencepages.jsx script (this allows to insert my chart of the note of the FM reference pages)
  15. Configure Microsoft HTML Help page layout.  Here are the properties file:

  

  16. in the properties file, I chose the glossary I had set as my default in step 8.

  17. click on save and produce.

  Result: In the .chm file (and display the item selected HR) when I click on a glossary term in a topic, I get "this program cannot display this webpage". In addition, the glossary tab is not displayed.

  Welcome to our community, Linda

  In RoboHelp, if you open the pod of glossary (view > pods > glossary > select glossary) you see terms and definitions listed there?

  If this isn't the case, it would explain it as the glossary has no entries.

  Assuming that it has entries, you can simply activate the tab by clicking on view > pods > project implementation. Expand the Windows section in the nacelle and a double click of your CHM window.

  A CHM window looks like this:

  

  If you do not see a CHM window, you will need to create a. If you do see a CHM window, double-click it. Then, make sure that the glossary is enabled.

  

  Keep us informed! Rick

• 8 of RoboHelp HTML: see selected file (glasses)

  How can I fix the "view selected" or "glasses"?  Whenever I click on it nothing appears.  Thank you!

  Hello

  What sometimes happens is that the preview window becomes moved to a position largely off-screen. I call it "version of the computer of Pluto."

  Curiously, I never noticed this until moments ago. Maybe things behave differently in XP. I am using Windows 7 then maybe changing my playground. I think of course remember that the preview would focus the preview window and RoboHelp seems to be blocked until the rejected you. But I just looked at version 8 and it is what allows the preview remains open and the preview window is not focused. Grrr

  Maybe try closing and restarting of RoboHelp. Then carefully open a topic. Listen to samples carefully. As soon as you call the preview, try the steps.

  Give that a go and let us know how you rate... Rick

  First, undo what you've done.

  Now, if you are editing a topic, click Format > Styles.

  Expand the other category and choose background + text (BODY).

  Click on the Format, followed by the border and shading button.

  Click the Shading tab.

• Cannot generate the main provision in RoboHelp HTML X 5

  Several years ago, I had created a project using RoboInfo Publisher 5.  It's a fairly broad knowledge base with several folders, themes and a decent index.  When I switched computers recently I have tried to reinstall RoboInfo 5, to see that I could not activate it.  When I called Adobe support, it gave me an installer for RoboHelp X 5 as RoboInfo was is no longer supported.

  Now, when you try to update my existing project to RoboHelp HTML X 5, I find the menu selection to generate primary layout page is grayed out.  I can create a new project and publish it without problem, but I can't get my existing to publish.  After some research, I deleted the CPD file and reopen the project.  The first time I open it, after that the index is re-created, I can select in the menu generate main layout, but nothing comes.  If I close and reopen the app, the menu selection is grayed out again.

  Any thoughts?

  Hello

• RoboHelp HTML Application closed

  I was working on another system while my RoboHelp project has increased. I might have too much upward at the same time. I received a message that the RoboHelp HTML Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. I don't have the ability to close properly. I chose to send an error report, but I don't know what will happen. I tried to click the Debug button and nothing happens. When I try to load my project, it gives me this error message and it will not appear. Does anyone know what I can do to locate the problem and get my project to work again?

  IT WORKED! Is there anything else I should do to restore whatever it is?

  Thanks a lot for your help!

• RoboHelp HTML won't just run.

  My RoboHelp HTML X5.0.1 won't just run. By clicking on the project file (XPJ), launch of the program in the start-programs menu or go directly to RoboHTML.exe does nothing. The process appears in Task Manager, but nothing happens to her. RoboHelp HTML worked very well about 2 days back. The only new thing I installed was Cleascase 7.0. No idea what I can do?
  
  RoboHelp for Word, however, works very well.
  
  Thank you

  Uninstalling Clearcase helped 7. RoboHelp HTML X5.0.1 can be started.

  BTW, I installed Cleatrcase 6.x and RoboHelp HTML X5.0.1 can be started as well.

• RoboHelp HTML crashes after emptying a project

  Hello
  
  I use Framemaker to do most of my creation and then import the files into RoboHelp HTML to generate HTML Help. As the first step of importing the files, I have to delete all the topics, table of contents entries and entries IX of the RoboHelp project. If I do this, I find myself with duplicates everywhere in the project.
  
  After the project I have empty and try to save it, HR goes belly up and I have to click through two sets of dialog boxes "Adobe Robohelp 7 has encountered a problem and needs to close." After you click 'Send error report' a dozen times, I wonder if there is anything I can do about this problem.
  
  Thank you
  John B.

  Hi all

  John, I couldn't help but notice that you said you are trying to delete ALL the content of the project. And here's where my instincts tell me the lies of the question.

  My thought is that you could take the following approach. Create a unique topic. One that will never exist in Framemaker. Only in RoboHelp. Then forget about this topic. Don't delete ever or something. Then, when you do your own out, I would take this approach.

  Clear the table of contents and Index. Does not matter the order in which you use. These first hunting just as you shoot. I say FLUSH these, because they depend on the content in the topics.
  Rinse the subjects. Hey, all, but the only subject which should remain.

  Here, my thought is that if you remove the entire system's RoboHelp goes belly up with no subject. And if you deleted the items first, RoboHelp can be gobs of updates gagging as she foolishly tries to follow all the sudden broken links to table of contents and Index items. That is why I proposed these as a first step.

  Please give it a go and let us know if it helps... Rick

• Using Images in RoboHelp HTML

  We are currently studying the possibility of consolidating/centralizing our documentation in our online help system and are looking for input from anyone who has experience with what we offer...
  
  We create several systems online help for a series of Web-based applications and we use RoboHelp HTML 7. Currently, content in our support systems is essentially text - only descriptions and step by step instructions, we have a few images like logos and icons, but the majority is text.
  
  Export us the text in Word, add screenshots and create PDFs that is printed for use in face-to-face training sessions.
  
  We are looking to makeover / the centralization of our process by including all the screen captures in the help system. However, concern has been raised regarding the addition of a lot of impact image files will be the speed and functionality of the help system.
  
  We compile our support systems and send the entire record of the WebHelp to development where it is tested and then deployed on our servers. It is accessible by our clients to our application via Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari
  
  Our customers access to our application via internet connections high speed, so the access speed will not be a problem. And of course we save images to GIF format to get the actual size of the file smaller. But questions remain such as:
  
  Is there a limit to the number of images that you can use in a help system?
  
  Is there a limit to the number of images that you can use in a topic?
  
  -What effect will have a large number of images in the process of compilation guidance system? (I realize that it may take more time to compile, but is there a point where the system will break?)
  
  Is there a limit to the size of the set of help files?
  
  
  In addition to these issues, I wonder:
  
  -Do you use images in your systems?
  
  -Have you had problems with?
  
  -Tricks or tips you want to share on the use of images in a help system?
  

  Welcome to our community, TechDocGreg

  I use images, all the time. I've never known break my support system. And I used to have a TON of them. (I documented a lot of material - do you gobs and gobs of photographic images of various materials in different "pose").

  Of course, images likely to cause the overall size of the system helps inflate, but this should be a big problem.

  Today, I tend to use exclusively. PNG format for all my images.

  If you need to make a subject appear to be slim, you can drag the images inside drop-down hotspots DHTML (Dynamic HTML). That way they won't be visible unless the user really wants to see them.

  See you soon... Rick
