Table of contents blank and search bar

• Are there patches IE11 and Chrome for RoboHelp for Word 10? Table of contents, Index, and search do not work as expected in WebHelp...

  Question:

  Fixes IE11 and Chrome on the Adobe web site ask you to put their new files in RoboHTML templates_stock folder. However, I need these fixes for RoboHelp for Word. Is there a such difficulty?

  Background:

  
  

  I use 10 RoboHelp for Word, generating WebHelp.

  I try to solve the problems about the table of contents, Index, and search appears not not or not being not completely functional IE11 or Chrome, not including many of our customers use. I found a couple of workarounds that my boss doesn't like.

  • In IE11, if the end user adds the web site to the compatibility view list, they all appear and function correctly, but my boss is adamant about not wanting the end user having to do anything to solve the problem.
  • In Chrome, I can get a table of contents and a non-functional search to appear if the user turns off JavaScript for the site, but this solution also violates the lists see also in help. Again, made my boss wants to not that the end user to have to do.

  His solution is just to generate using pure HTML, but then the search won't work in IE11 or Chrome (I'm not sure about Firefox). I are based largely on the research, when I'm working on the product, so I really don't want to lose the search function.

  Help, please.

  Kind regards

  As I said in my reply to your message in the RoboHelp for Word forum, there is no patch for this.

  I can understand your not wanting to Manager end users will do anything and agree with him. However, the fixes for these issues in HTML HR are simply not available in RoboHelp for Word.

• can address bar and search bar be adjusted

  I find the too narrow address bar. If it is adjustable, I hope someone can tell me how. Ditto for the search bar.

  If the address bar and search bar are placed side by side with no other button between the two as it is by default, then you can place the mouse pointer between the two bars to see the mouse pointer change an icon resizer (move the mouse pointer slowly horizontally from the address bar to the search bar).
  Note that you can move the search bar 'bar 3' Firefox menu button in the drop-down list to make more room for the address bar.

  • Right-click on the icon of the left end of the search bar search engine: go to the menu

  I am currently to have a long address bar.
  With the help of the Ctrl + K shortcut key will open the '3-bar' menu list drop down menu Firefox button with the selected search bar.

• Icons to fill my address and search bars

  I'm using Firefox 29.0.1, and when I open a tab at a website, my address bar and search bar are suddenly filled with icons such as cut, paste, print, etc.. The URL disappears or is blocked by the icons and unreadable. In addition, icons do function - by clicking on the print icon, for example, has no effect. Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas how to fix?

  Probably caused by an incompatible add-on.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

• 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.

• What is the difference b/w Google search Mozilla Start Page and search bar?

  It is not a priority, I want just a general answer.

  I read that Google renew the license of the Google search bar on the Start Page of Mozilla Firefox, and it is where Mozilla makes 90% of its money, because it is a not-for-profit organization.

  I want to know if I give Google a signal to make use of this licence renewal when I search from the Page start and not from the bar I research have.

  Hi Marc, it won't make a difference if search you from the home page or the search bar - both use the same default search provider.
  In addition, mozilla is more in partnership with google. For more details please see https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/11/19/promoting-choice-and-innovation-on-the-web/

• How can I restore lost address and search bars?

  I clicked on something in the search bar options, and the search bar and the url address bar disappeared. So, how to restore the address bar and the search bar?

  Hi jackk1, you need to click right into an empty space in one of the toolbars at the top of your browser window and click on "Navigation Toolbar".

  If you still do not have the address bar or the search bar, you must click right into an empty space as before and click "Customize." You should then find the address bar or the search bar in the new window, and you can drag the this window on the navigation bar. Then close the window 'Customize' and that should be fine.

• The address in the bar of naviagtion bar is small and search bar. I want that the address bar to be longer than the search bar

  In the naviagtion bar, the address bar is very low in the space, and the search bar is very long. I want the address bar to be long, so I can read the entire address and the short search bar. Thank you

  While in normal mode (and not in customization mode), you can place the mouse pointer between the address bar and the search bar, and it will become an icon of resizing that you can slide right or left with the left button of the mouse to change the relative width of the two bars.

• The mouse cursor disappears on the address and search bars.

  In Firefox 10, the mouse cursor disappears from the address bar or the search bar after a certain time, or I guess that after visiting a site that I paste below. I don't see what part of the word I click on the address bar or the search bar for the correction because there is no mouse cursor. After clicking on tools and options cancel, the mouse cursor appears (I make no changes to the options) or when I click on customize in the navigation bar, then the icons I click on Cancel again without modification, and the mouse cursor appears again (as you can understand some trigger for windows option implementation even without change is done). I uninstalled firefox 10 just for this reason. Back to Firefox 9. Safe mode - same problem happens. So no problem addon. And the same thing happened in another operating system, so this isn't a fault of a facility.

  Problem solved for me in the last version of firefox v.10.0.1

• Table of contents, Index and changes in formatting disappears in RoboHelp...

  Hi guys,.

  Recently, I learned how to link and synchronize with RoboHelp Word documents. However, I am having a few problems when I updated the project RoboHelp change Word document after I right click on the file > update inside the pod project manager.

  The current challenges, I am experiencing the following:

  1. The clue that I have configured with the selected words of subject pages becomes empty after I updated the Word document in Robohelp.
  2. The table of contents becomes white after I updated the Word document in RoboHelp.
  3. I had to remove the excess on some Pages in the topic space because it looked funny when the previewed image. When I updated the Word document in Robohelp, returned the excess space that I removed...
  4. Another weird issue is that, sometimes, the changes I make in RoboHelp overrides any Word document. For example, if I have added text to a particular topic within the Word document and save it, Robohelp will not update the contents of the pages of the section with the Word changes even after I've updated the file inside RoboHelp...

  I'm not entirely sure how to work around these problems or if I'm doing something wrong. I really want to use the capabilities of RoboHelp synchronization, as it is more efficient for single source reasons.

  Advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  1. You do not use the project for related Word documents index. You insert a placeholder for a separate index. See the pages on the links on my site.
  2. I guess that now you do not have OCD, other than that of the linked document.
  3. It's probably because the excess space comes from the Word document. You will need to fix here.
  4. To get a change in RoboHelp and a different change in Word, when you update the RoboHelp change sticks and the word it is not applied? Which can only happen if you protect your changes. Again, see my site.

• Problem with the table of contents pages and books

  I use 8 HR and generate Webhelp.

  I created a project and had to change a few pages of table of contents and create TOC books instead. I deleted the pages and added books, with the same name. HR, it looks fine, but when I generate the table of contents for the page instead of the book. I tried to clear my cache in Internet Explorer, and the deletion of the page again. Still no help. I rebooted and even rebooted and still have the same thing. Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

  Thank you.

  Indeed if a book has nothing in it, it will not appear in the table of contents. When you think about it, it is very logical. Why would you want a book to appear if nothing was inside?

  See you soon... Rick

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

• Error JavaScript prevents the table of contents, Index, search view

  I produced my RoboHelp HTML project webhelp and got an error javascript (this.maCom [...] (' is null or not an object) when you view the result. See the full error text below. So the table of contents, index and search are not displayed. We'll find the javascript error in the status bar of the browser that says "error on page". I found that if I saw the result of robohelp, the browser that launched shows the table of contents, index and search, but has a security warning about a restriction of running scripts or ActiveX controls. However, when I move the generated webhelp on my production server, the help doesn't have the security warning, but produces the error so that the table of contents, index and search do not show. I had done the same process to generate webhelp about 8 months ago but had no error whatsoever. In fact, this version is still in production and works very well.

  In my search for the problem, I found that it is the same error as message of the forum 4063663 (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4063663). I didn't have a second system with RoboHelp to be able to get other whphost.js, however, I have diff had the file generated with that found in template_stock and found only two different lines. These differences were only to replace a couple of variables with static text so I do not replace this file will solve any problem for me. That is the message of only forum I could find who addressed this issue.

  I was originally on RoboHelp 8.0.0 when I first encountered the problem, but has expanded and patched to version 8.0.2 and still had the same problem. I even created a new simple project. Once I moved the simple project on the production server, it also would display the table of contents, index and search.

  The strange thing is that only 8 months ago, I used the same process to generate webhelp without any errors (on 8.0.0). The only thing I can find is there is a Windows XP patch which affected the generation of webhelp. Furthermore, I also tried chrome and also produces the error.

  I don't know what is causing this problem or how to solve the problem. Anyone have any ideas?

  After further research and testing, I found the update of security for RoboHelp 8 and 9 (http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-23.html) posted as an ad that I had not seen before. I used the feature updates of the product, but that said I was informed and did not include this update.

  Both javascript in this update files solve the problem. The table of contents, index and search now appear.

  Update:
  As I studied the problem further (when writing this reply), I found files that are newer than the latest security patches, I was aware of that. In addition, I discovered that my security organization decided to patch with APSB12-04 I don't know. This patch is why my 8.0.0 installation magically stop working. I see the announcement of the security, the bulletin was not all the required components for specific, that the patch can be applied to 8.0.1 and 8.0.2). (8.0.0, Adobe, please give more information on the ballots of so that organizations that deploy auto will be forced to find out what is running before the update. Information such as whether they apply to all versions of Robohelp 8 or simply a specific version. If APSB12-04 was supposed to apply to all versions of 8, then it did not work. In fact, he broke my installation of 8.0.0 for the generation of webhelp, but a later installation of 8.0.1 and 8.0.2. It seems that they have done a better job for APSB11-23. Maybe the security updates should be a kind of service pack that has a plant and a cancellation process. Right now, my security organization has replaced the files based on the specification in the security bulletin.

  I'll try to patch with APSB12-04 new since I've updated version 8.0.2 database to see if I still have the webhelp. If I can't view the table of contents, I have to take off once more and be 'in non-compliance."

• Adding a button before the button table of contents in a WebHelp Pro navigation bar

  My customer wants to add a "Home" button to the left of the button table of contents in the navigation bar. I can button ad to the right of the 'standard' buttons: table of contents, search, print, and glossary, but even if I go and edit the skn file and add the 'Home' botton before the table of contents one, it always displays to the right. Is that all that I'm missing?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I have HR server, so it's kinda a guess but I think as a method of work.

  Change the order of the toolbar in the whstart.js file.

  1. in the whstart.js file, go to line 184 (RH10), it has the text ElseIf (nMsgId == WH_MSG_TOOLBARORDER).

  2. we will find the opening brace, add the following code:

  oMsg.oParam = "CUSTOM" TOC | GLO | IDX | FTS | blackblock | searchform | banner ";

  Returns false;

  3. open whskin_tbars.htm and go to the bottom of the file to find some calls starting with addButton.

  4 Copyt the id of the button (customxxxx) and replace the CUSTOM in the whstart.js file text.

  Change whskin_tbars.htm

  1. open whskin_tbars.htm

  2. go in the bottom of the file and find some calls starting with addButton.

  3. fix the lines in the order you want the buttons to appear. (Remember the "blankblock" button to push some content to the right of the toolbar.

  4. remove the call to the ReSortToolbarButtons() function in the whskin_tbars.js file.

  If WebHelp always use the buttons, try adding return false; as the first code of the ReSortToolbarButtons() function in the whtbar.js file

  Hope this helps,

  Take a bow
