Link to another project

Hello!

I am a beginner of Captivate. I'm trying to make a link to another project by a button. I chose:

If the user clicks the button:

Success - open another project

Project - (project name)

When I try to project to test, I get the following message: "the project (project name) .htm, .swf (project name) is launched at this stage but is not available for the overview."

What I am doing wrong? Thank you very much for your help!

Hello

You do not have something wrong. You test in a preview. The message tells you that you will need to publish it to see it in action.

See you soon... Rick

  • How can I remove table of contents/index/search components that remain when I link to another project?

    When I link to my html main project file A and then click a link to return to the main html table component file contents/index/search remains on the screen. How can I remove it?

    I work with RH8 and Windows 7. I generate Webhelp.

    I have a file that has links to projects and B main html. Each project is in a separate folder. The projects are not merged.

    I can link the files generated or published very well. However, when I start moving around in the files/projects, the components of the table of contents/index/search are still visible.

    For example, if I click on the link on the main html file for project A it appears correctly. If I click on a link to return to the main html file pane table of contents/index/search remains visible for A project. If the link to go to project B Iclick, I get another part of the table of contents/index/search and have 2 panels visible.

    How can I make windows disappear and do not stay on the screen when I move a project to?

    Thanks for the help.

    I'm not sure you can. It's like any link on any Web site, if the link opens another browser instance or tab, it is up to the user to close.

    Merged help would just open the other topic and keep the user in the same tab. When they click on the links to various projects, the first topic closed and the following would open up.

  • Captivate 5 opening of another project - link is incorrect

    I have a Captivate 5 project that uses a "main project" to open various 'under' projects.  I have published all projects such as exe (I also tried editing swf and htm to see if the problem is specific to the .exe but I have this problem with both methods), all projects are accessed using a click box, which, if successful, will open another project.  All my sub projects opens correctly except one.  When you click on this project, it shows an error that displays the path to the .htm file only?  I find it weird because I tried only editing like .exe, is therefore to associate without file .htm (or I do not understand how it works?).  Here's the funny part, the path to the nonexistent .htm file is missing a return back as you can see below.

    3-29-2011 5-09-40 PM.gif

    I tried to recreate the click box, but it does not work.  I copied another box of click of work who open a different project.  The click box works until I have change the project that it points to and then I get the same error.

    Another thing, when I go to link the project from the drop-down list displays several projects with the same name.

    3-29-2011 5-15-04 PM.gif

    even if I have only one instance of the project in my folder by default.  I tried to empty the cache to see if that get rid of duplicates, but it did not work.  I also installed captivate on another computer, copied over my project files, deleted the click box and recreated and received the same error message.  He pointed to the new location on the new computer, but lacked a "------" makes the link not valid.

    I published my computers not assigned as swf and htm project and copied to the location specified in the error, but it does not work.

    Any ideas?  I ran out of things to try.

    Thank you

    Captivate the default behavior is to set up an absolute connection to the target file, not a relative link, which is what you will need to be if ever you want to migrate your content to another location, for example a web server.

    If you can see that the URL is incorrect, change it. You must manually edit the link that Captivate automatically creates for you and it becomes a relative link that points to the target HTM file.

    If you don't know how to build links, do some googling on the subject.  It's something everyone who works with web content needs to know how to do.

  • Link to a topic in another project (in a new window)

    When I do a link on a project subject to a topic of project B, I have can´t change hyperlink options. The theme of the project B is therefore shown in the same window as the subject of A prior. Is it possible to open in a new window (second)?

    Sorry for my bad English.

    Janine

    Hi Janine.

    Unfortunately, this is a limitation of the links to a topic in another CHM. It works differently with the other output formats (for example, WebHelp).

  • Link to a topic in another project

    Hello.

    I m new in RoboHelp.

    I Don t know how to make a link between one of my projects and a topic in another (in RoboHelp 8).

    I think that in RoboHelp 7 is 'hyperlink' - 'hyperlink subject remote', but in RoboHelp 8 "remote topic" - function isn´t it.

    (Sorry for my bad English)

    Janine

    Hi Janine and welcome in the HR community.

    How you link to a section of another HR project depends on what kind of output you produce (CHM, WebHelp, etc.). The remote subject method you mention is used only when you are linking to a CHM to another project file output. What is more, the option is available only if you have the Microsoft HTML Help source unique layout defined as the default output. The binding in RH8 method is exactly the same as in RH7. If you always produce CHMS, check your layout of single source pod which is the default output. If Microsoft HTML Help is not the default, right-click on it and click on "Set as default output".

    Either way, your English is very good except that 'project' is spelled with a 'c' ;-)

  • How can I import a composition to another project, in a way that it will remain always updated if it has changed in the other project?

    I have a model of logo in a project that I have to add to all the other compositions all over my other projects.

    The thing is, I've might need to change the logo from time to time and wouldn't go back and change the layout of the logo in each project.

    I need a way to import the model of the logo and to maintain its link with the original project, so I could only make a change once and then just make all other projects while the intro comp update automatically.

    Can you please help?

    I'm usign AE cc with creative cloud, on a PC computer.

    Thank you!

    Rick instructions assumes that you use a video file pre-rendered logo, which is the most convenient way to do the job, if you can.

    But, to answer your question more specifically, you can create a dynamic link to an another project AE AE project.

  • How can I associate with a certain scene in another project?

    Hello

    I would like to make an addition, emit a tip action to a button that links to a scene in another project.

    as an example:

    On the last stage of the project B, I want to put a link back to project a scene 3. This is where the initial selection to open the project B was performed.

    I would be very grateful for your help!

    Thanks in advance,

    Stephanie

    You're used to plot? This is because you use the word 'scene '.

  • Export the sequence XML file browse for use in another project

    When I generate a browse sequence based on the table of contents by using zero for the level of the pound, rather than get A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2, I receive A, B, A1, A2, B1, B2.  The table of contents first crosses all elements of level 1, cycles backwards through all the level 2 element, then 3rd level, etc.

    My solution was to automatically create the sequence to browse at level 0 and then manipulate manually to the output depending on how my readers would actually read my book online (IE A Aa A1 A1a A1b A2 A2a A2b B B1 etc etc).

    Now that I have my sequence in the correct order for this project, I don't want to repeat these steps each time I create a new version of my HLO for the guide even after that a few minor updates have been made to the source of the FM.

    There is a file named whbrs.xml in the output folder and contains the sequence order of travel that I specified in my no workaround.

    Is it possible to export this file to another location for use in another project that references the same guide?

    This methodology is much preferred, as I work at a level of the company with several documents (some numbering in the hundreds of pages) and do not want to have to manually use my solution for each project that I update in the next few years.

    Hi Kristopher

    You probably don't want to use that particular file, because it is an output file. You'd probably have better luck using the file ProjectName.BRS as this one must be a source file.

    However, keep in mind that if (or how) it will work completely will depend on having the recipient project using the same identical structure and identical file names.

  • Linking to other projects of Cp, with Cp 5.5

    Hello

    I have problems that connects it to other Cp 5.5 projects.  I set up as I used to when I used 3 Cp, but the next project does not open.  I have cked beyond discussions and I saw one, "linking the projects; export message"replied TrevDev (Trevor) which seemed to fix my problem.  I double cked I had everything in place under the guidance of Trevor (see below), but still my next project will not open.  Any other suggestions?

    (1) cptx & htm have the same name

    (2) all the files are in the same folder

    (3) on the first draft, I used "out: open another project ' and travelled to the cptx file open window active.

    I just saved, published and run version htm of the first project, which is to open the next project on the last slide.  The first file ends just on his last slide without doing something more.

    Thank you

  • Links to other projects point to offline files

    I created a project with buttons that have a link with other projects, but when I publish the projects and put them on our server, the links point to files on my hard drive and not on the server. How can I implement the open other action related to the location of the project and not in a specific directory of the project?

    Hello

    Using Captivate 4? Have you installed the update, the most recent version generation 1658?

    If the files are all in the same folder, you can just put the file name, not the path when you give in the URL (if you use 'Open a URL or file'). Or you point to the CP file when you use the option 'open another project '. Don't forget there is no path statement.

  • Garland - open another project

    Captivate 2, I have three daisy chained and uploaded to a LMS System project files. When the 1 read file end I call file 2 (via open another project), and Ditto for the 3 file when file 2 finishes. I have a pre-loader screen in table 2 and table 3 but too much time going on before the following project file starts playing causing an awkward delay. Is it possible to set up the project "called" next to start file to play while continuing to charge without having to wait until it is completely downloaded? Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Ken Metcalf

    Hi Ken,

    To my knowledge, you cannot distribute a project, so what I have done in the past for different LMS' is really, really small files. To link to them, I chose an interaction that is part of the lesson - if there are the following buttons, or if the learner is supposed to click on part of the screen — and set it to open the next file. It will be a bit long to do because it was not part of your original design, but it can be worth the effort.

    Good luck!

  • Firefox can be configured to open the Firefox more recently-active window when you click on a link in another application? Using multiple profiles.

    I think it's really a feature request, but I don't see a forum for this. I used to use firefox almost exclusively, but switched to chrome when I started working freelance for a couple of different companies - the identities of chrome feature really helps me keep my sanity by having a unique identity for each company. However, a problem has recently developed with chrome which brought me back to firefox. The profile under firefox feature seems to have gotten much better since I made the first move, and I'm pretty happy with the way it works... with one exception:

    With firefox, clicking on a link in another application, always opens in the default profile. With chrome, she would always open in the browser window that was most recently active. It's a very intuitive behavior, because everything I do in the other application (e.g. thunderbird, evernote, Skype) is almost always linked to whatever browser window, I had finally opened.

    Any chance to do this implemented? Or maybe there is already a way to do this? I found the following related topics, but neither helped with this issue:

  • If I try and follow a link from another Web site to open the other I get awclick.php pixels (GIF Image 1 x 1) in a new tab instead of the web page I want.

  • Edit causes the break while another project ' charge. Why?

    Hello

    Why is - it, when I make a change to a project, often a drop-down list indicates another project is loading and there is an irritating, sometimes extended, break while this project 'charges '?

    It is often an earlier version of the latest project, duplicated.

    I guess there is no way to avoid it.
