Missing topics in my RoboHelp 7 project

• Would it be possible to have 2 shared resources, a local containing all common topics and photos for several projects and another a remote control containing all the topics and pictures for the purpose of collaboration

  Hello

  I was wondering, now that I discovered the benefits of eating of the resource, if it would be possible to have 2 shared resources, a local with common themes and images for several projects and another one, remote, containing projects together, i.e. the subjects and images, for collaboration purposes.

  The only local, I intend to use it for my purposes to have common points (topics & photos) update of all projects where they appear and the distance that I intend to use it with remote colleagues, who might want to make changes in the topics.

  This would mean that the topics and current photos will be present in the resources, one local as one remote.

  Thank you.

  SVN is not a source control package?

  I'm not sure, but RoboHelp * MAY * be able to integrate with SVN to control projects and sharing.

  RoboHelp comes with RoboSource Control that could be used to provide the source code control. But if you already have a package in place, my thought is why reinvent the wheel? Simply use what is there.

  See you soon... Rick

• missing topics involving irregular deadlines

  EDIT: Sorry, I always forget to specify, but our help is an HTML-based help system.
  
  First of all, some background: I work with a system of hereditary help file which has been years of preparation, so I don't know about his history and what happened in the past.
  
  Anyhoo, the problem: I did some research on a problem I reported that some subjects were not turning upward when searched on. They are accessible by directly accessing them, but they do not appear in searches.
  
  At first, I thought may be a thing of fusion, as our aid system spans more than 20 individual projects. However, this way of thinking has not panned.
  
  Meanwhile, looking at the real project, I discovered that most of the subject real files seem to have been deleted. At first, this seems extremely odd, given that they still existed in the final help file, but after a quick or two seconds to be braindead, I realized that the .chm project is pretty old, and there was a good chance that the topics were somehow lost or deleted once it has been generated, which explains why they are always appearing in the .chm despite being missing in the project.
  
  So I refreshed the project "like what", awaits now missing topics appear more. This is (for me), real name begins. The topics appear again - the only apparent difference that regenerate the file is was that several screenshots have disappeared (the rest of the text).
  
  It's unexpected for me because the topic files are missing from the project and the table of contents links are broken. Nothing seems to point to an external source, or did not find these lost files elsewhere within projects / .chms that make up our help system.
  
  Therefore, my expectation is that nothing should be mentioned under this title, because I don't know where it's getting the material when I generate it. Anyone has any ideas as to what can happen? At this point, I think is a direct question to track down the original Word docs and reinsert to update and correct broken links (which in turn, I hope that means they will show up in searches), but I'm really curious how this 'Phantom' material still exists in the new .chm, and if it indicates possibly any other question , I should be aware with (as new I'm quite in the dark with the way in which the system is built and mainted before me, and I just started here).
  
  Thanks in advance!

  We have a problem, he must work around where the table of contents indicates a merged file, but look (and maybe the index, I don't remember off the top of my head) shows only subject in the Master chm for project file.

  This is caused by the paths are hard-coded in the [FUSIONNES FILES] section. We believe it is to do with the source code control (we use VSS)

  Instead of appearing as files
  Help1.chm
  Help2.chm

  they appear as:
  c:\project\help1.chm
  c:\project\help2.chm

  Solution:
  compile using.
  Open the hhp file, delete the path and save the hhp file.
  recompile the help.

  We have not found a way to solve this problem permanently, unfortunately, so I have to remember the compilation double whenever we update the main project.

  I hope it's useful for you.

• Topics in RoboHelp 8 projects are going through

  I have several projects I have improved imported in RoboHelp 8.  Initially, when in each project, all topics are correct.  But after importing projects from second and the next, when I return to the first project, it shows the subjects of the latest project?  What is going on?  I tried searching to see if this has happened to others, but don't see anything other... Any help would be appreciated...

  Hi all

  It might help if we take a moment to understand a bit of the evolution of RoboHelp.

  Pull your chairs a little closer and I'll tell you a story. In the first years of RoboHelp projects are managed by the. File of the metatarsophalangeal joint. Because the MPJ file kept track of all aspects of the project, it was possible to store as many projects as you want in the same main folder. It was nice of the appearance of sharing content. You can configure things so that you have common subjects and images in several projects. If one of them has changed, you changed them in any project and they changed for all projects using them. Of course, this meant you had to recompile or re - build each project if they have changed, but the change actually was held only once.

  Now comes the long X 5 with a new file structure. XML format. This means changes. Unfortunately, some of the changes that effectively blew this way of working completely out of the water. You may wonder why. Well, that's because while each project is often unique, some of the underlying files are rather generically named. For example, you have the ProjectName.XPJ, which is specific to each project, but that reference XPJ generic files with the extensions of file APJ (Anaheim project). Files such as rhskins.apj, rjsnippet.apj and so on.

  My guess as to what happened here is that with a single instance of these files can be in one folder, the one who saved the last wins.

  What you see before you is the next task.

  1. You need to split the project into separate folders to make each project in its own folder.
  2. THEN you upgrade each project.

  You should probably start by restoring the backup that you did before you attempt the upgrade.

  You, uh, did, haven't you?

  Well done to all... Rick

• Folder images in Robohelp 7 project lists a small fraction of the images really there

  I added a picture to a topic. The image has a name identical to an existing image in the project. The image appeared in my folder of the main project, which is where all the pictures show first upward in my project. I then move them to a folder of images. I moved this image, expecting to receive a message asking if I wanted to replace the existing picture with the same name. I wanted to update all instances where this image appears. Instead, I got a message that this file is in use and cannot be replaced. I clicked on my picture folder to see if the original image was in a subject that has been opened, and maybe that's why she would not replace. At this point, I noticed most of the images in the folder were not included.

  I can use used reports and I see all the files that are supposed to be in my images folder, but when I go to the reports tab Images, only the files that are listed in the folder my pictures in the project manager are shown. For Robohelp to know the files are located in the pictures folder and that they are in use, but it does not recognize them as images and does not list them as such.

  I don't know how this happened or how to fix it.

  If RoboHelp you replaced the image and have a different size, you may have problems in the existing entries. I suspect that this is why he is not allowed to replace in this path.

  What is 'missing' images are, try renaming the file to say 2. They will probably all appear and then you can restore the name.

• Missing topics

  I opened my current project of CHM, brought a quick spelling correction and saved, RoboHelp crashed. When I have opened the project to verify that the change has been recorded, all HTML (topics) files are missing. Real htm files are always there, just do not indicated in the project. The table of contents and Index are very good. How their return to the top?
  
  The only way I can find to get the subjects are 'new' to create each topic even once and then write back then heading with the original htm file.
  
  Is second question, possible to import the last .chm file that was created yesterday? I don't see as an option to import .chm file.

  You can decompile a CHM file, but let's keep that one in reserve for now.

  It seems that the PCD file has been corrupted. Take a look at the topic on my site on the opening of projects. First try.

  You can also import these subjects in the project, which is another thing, that we keep in reserve too.

• RoboHelp SEO project

  Hello

  I use RoboHelp9 to create three large projects for the three products and a small one for a shared component. I wish that the three projects to reference the a small, rather than contain a copy of it. This way when the component is changed, unnecessary update documentation in four places. I couldn't find a discussion on the topic - is there a way to do this in Robohelp?

  Thank you!

  Merged help would do what you want. How is described on my site. It seems more complicated than it really is.

• Some bread crumbs and nav links missing topics

  three of my themes (from 351) lack of navigation links and breadcrumbs (I use the traditional use of style - no adjustment so I need of these at the top of the skin about me)-I can't find all the differences in the code or properties or parameters that will count for this - the subjects are in order to browse
  
  any ideas? suggestions?
  
  

  Problem solved! -RoboHelp dislikes the quotes around the words in a title

  suspicion of Peter depending on whether the problem had something to do with generated by Word etc and find all the metatags pair I tried determine what was different on 14 subjects that would not show just by using the mode of creation of bread crumbs - I noticed that all had quotation marks around words in titles - right click on the titles of the subjects afflicted in the Table of contents in the project manager «» pod', then right-click on the properties I removed delinquency famous quote from the table of Contents Page Properties box and all the crumbs and nav links showed once again

  Peter - I tried to not rename the PDC and it no effect on this point-thanks for your help by pointing in ala branch Monte Python - popular (new)

  I don't know if this is a "bug" exactly - but I'll be from my pages in the topic in the future without the quotes in the title and adding them later in Design view if I need

• Missing topics when compiling HTML Help

  I have written and maintain support systems for both products in RoboHelp 5.0. Each has compiled fine in WinHelp 4 years format. When I compile one of them in HTML Help format (.chm file), and then double-click the .chm file to open it, the summary and Index seem to be filled correctly, but I can't open a topic when I double-click on a in the table of contents or the Index. The heading window remains empty. I think I should be able to open the .chm file that is independent of any application and open all the subjects that it contained, just like I can with a .hlp file.
  
  I'd be able to have access to all of my subjects (about 2,000 indexed and contextual 650) simply by double-clicking the .chm file? Are there specific project settings, that I need to set in a specific way to get HTML help to include all topics? Another thing I might be dominant?

• RoboHelp 11 project does not save changes or close the project

  I work in a German version of my (very large) RoboHelp project, when all of a sudden, the project has stopped accepting any exit, close, or save commands. I will not say that it has stopped responding, because I could always make changes to the table of contents, import subject .htm, open/close the theme files and basically do everything EXCEPT opening and closing of the project manager directories, save or close or exit RoboHelp project.

  So, basically, I had to use the end task task manager and stop RoboHelp, which meant that I lost all changes to my project.

  When I tried to re - open my project, I got the error message ".cpd corrupted", then I deleted the .cpd and re-open the project. Sent back me to the original question - unable to get out, close, or save project. I tried to copy the .xpj and the .cpd of an earlier copy of this project, but not luck.

  How to break this terrible cycle?

  Thank you!

  I think I found the problem. The project settings were set for the appropriate language. I had copied the .cpf of the Spanish version of the project above to see if it would make a difference and the project went very well, but when I generated using, I noticed that the tabs in the frameset, such as contents, Index and search, were in Spanish.

  I checked the properties of the project German and discovered that the language of the project was set to Spanish, rather than German. Once I changed the language of basis for the whole project, I stopped to meet the problem.

• I have no color - everything is white with blue writing and photos and missing topics are missing

  I downloaded Firefox and set up my homepage as Yahoo which is what I used before downloading. There is now no background color on my page, while he was in shades of green before. Also on some pages, there are missing photos on the main page - news have a photo - now there's none and sections - like on Facebook. If I fly over the area where I know something would be normally, it appears.

  Make sure that allow you pages to choose their colors and you have not enabled high contrast in the Windows accessibility settings.

• Missing labels and buttons in the projects

  Hey,.

  I've recently upgraded to the licensed version of Captivate after using a trial - however, it seems that a number of buttons, the button text and the text of the label just disappeared without reason that I see. Creating labels and new buttons fails to produce anything to the screen in the current project or a new project.

  Everyone knows this or have any ideas for me to try?

  Thank you

  Richard

  Another thing to try is to close all the Captivate projects down and clear the cache by clicking on the button to edit > Preferences > General. Then restart your PC.

  Sometimes, I saw my buttons disappear in the projects and just clear the cache and restart like that fixed it.

• Error Msg - file missing in the project manager

  Hello

  I get the following error message when I open this project and I don't know how to fix it. I found similar posts on the forum about it, but I don't know if the steps taken to solve the problem would be the same for Robohelp 9. Please notify. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  

  Thank you

  Chrissy

  Hi Chrissy,

  Could check you that you find some missing topics in your project manager > project pod files (Missing subject would have a red X next to them), the folder in the image could be containing a few subjects that somehow got disrupted. Please go to the location on your drive source and look for the folder that can contains your missing topics, and if you find this path, then from RoboHelp - file > import > Html/XTML all these files in your project.

  Another quick way to spot any topic-mising restoration tools - fix broken links---(cliquez sur le lien) .

  Thank you
