• external link to webhelp, view the table of contents

  Hello

  is it possible to automatically show the pane external TOC when binding an html file? On our intranet, many pages are not compiled with robohelp, they are word-> html pages, but we link these pages to the robohelp webhelp.

  By default, you only see the topic and have the link display at the top of the page. But this link to display is not visible unless you really link to the top of this page.

  I would like to activate the navigation pane by default whenever an external link refers to HR webhelp.

  I'm not following you, but the above should work.

  With this kind of things it should be to create a small test project and do refer a file for you on the server. Then you can test without affecting your project or online users.

• 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."

• How to display a complete tree of the table of contents in the body of a page instead of the sidebar?

  How to display a full (project) TOC tree in the body of the pages of the section instead of the default sidebar (left pane)? Is there a simple way to do this in the application? I have not yet discovered a way to do it, but I can't get to the right place. Any suggestions?

  I don't think you can view the table of contents on a page, and even if you could, the sidebar would always be there for indexing and search. The only possibility I can think of is to create a page where you create links arranged to act as a TOC, then maybe iFrame this page in. Each book might be a drop-down list to view links to topics.

  Maintenance would be horrible and she barely meets your requirement to be simple.

• Asian characters in the table of contents

  Hello
  
  I use Robohelp 7.0.2 and I'm having problems for Japanese and Chinese characters is displayed correctly in the table of contents of my project.
  
  My HHC and Perfect files are correctly encoded in UTF-8 format and appear correctly in the main interface of Robohelp. My subjects also displayed correctly. I also have a translation German and all (including ulmhauts appear correctly) in all contexts.
  
  However, when I export the CHM, the text in the table of contents and index appear as question marks. The most likely problem is a place hidden somewhere, but can someone point me in the right direction?
  
  Thank you

  I discovered that change the language setting of Robohelp has allowed me to generate properly the CHMS.

  It is however unacceptable software that claims to support 35 languages. It should be possible to use the software without always having to change his language put forward and backward...

• Why are the table of contents will not appear when the project opened on the intranet?

  One of our projects RoboHelp 9 not open when the table of contents is open on the left.  It doesn't have a link that says 'Show', but the favorite opening would have the table of contents already developed.  All other projects pave the way.

  I have "Show Navigation pane link in topics" box on the settings WebHelp Navigation page. I adapted all webhelp settings to another project that opens correctly.

  What else can we do?

  Deanna

  Hmmm, the dialog box, the page that should open the WebHelp is actually named 'startpage.htm '. It would seem that it is the HTML page, you must link to the.

• Can I create a hierarchy of topic on the project manager pod or I must rely on the table of contents?

  Hello

  Can I create a hierarchy of topic on the project manager pod or I must rely on the table of contents? I use RoboHelp 9 (although I doubt that the version of the questions).

  Thank you

  Mary

  Hi Mary

  As you do this is by creating folders in the project manager, then create new topics in the files or move the existing entries in the records.

  If you work exclusively in the project manager, you are only able to move a single topic at a time. If you want to move a swarm of topics, open the pod of the list of topics and you can select as many as you want. Then drag the subjects selected to the folder on the project manager pod. Be a little careful when you drag. Often the mouse will pass over a tab at the bottom of the basket, and this can change their minds about you.

• Use the table of contents theme in several projects

  I spent the time by changing the color of items for my Table of contents and managed to save it as a custom TOC theme. However, this theme does not appear as a selection in other projects. Because I don't see a way to export the theme to the table of contents How do you use it other projects? I used the theme > save as option, but when I import the theme in a new project the theme of the table of contents does not appeal to.

  When you go to the project - Table of contents - skin - default default theme says. Click on the arrow and you should see your custom theme renamed to TOC inside - it is not alpahbetically. I just did this and kind of panic when I don't see my modified Pearls appear, but he was there at the bottom of the list! I hope this helps.

• Parent to see the table of contents in the project of the child

  Hello

  I will have difficulty to display the table of contents merged into the project of the child.  The application, I work with called via a URL.

  When I open one of the child htm files after generating locally, I see the contents of the Parent table.  But when I move the project to the server via FileZilla and display help via the application, the Parent html files is displayed the table of contents merged, but the child shows only the TOC of the child.

  I have read all the info on the site of Peter Grainge, but can't see what I can change to make it work.

  http://www.Grainge.org/pages/authoring/merging_webhelp/merging_method_original.htm http://www.Grainge.org/pages/Authoring/merging_webhelp/merged_help.htm

  In settings of WebHelp, Show merged TOC in the child project is enabled for the Parent.

  I tried to experiment with the different calls of URL described on the website of Peter, but if I use the suggested format (X:/helpfolder/startpage.htm#mergedprojects/child_project/target_topic_1.htm) I find myself with the two tables of contents showing.

  

  For any help or suggestion is appreciated!

  Note: Using RoboHelp 9 and generating WebHelp.

  Thank you

  Natalie

  It is a common mistake. Somewhere in your configuration, you claim the home page when you call the default theme. Maybe in your redirection?

I right click and select 'Edit' and nothing happens. Someone at - it advice?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Maybe try clicking on File > Load Default environment?

  Then try opening the table of contents.

  Maybe something went wrong with the placement of the table of contents Editor.

• & quot; View the & quot; hyperlink to the table of contents

  Hello
  
  I have a lot of links in HTML RH7 that when you click on open subjects in a new window. These new windows have a link automatically generated in the upper left corner called 'show' that when clicked will then add the table of contents and page layout in the window. Problem is that this table of contents in the new window uses the default layout that different from my usual one and if the navigation buttons are missing.
  
  I'd rather not have this link 'Show' appear in total. Y at - it a setting to prevent that appears when a new window is opened? I don't want you must remove the HTML for all these events.
  
  Thank you!
  
  

  I think that you will need to generate each child project with show off power.

  If you create help merged with a similar structure to that of my article merged WebHelp, I think you will find that most things take their leader in the master project. However, if you merge with HR Server7 ability to merge projects, so it may be different. Sorry, I can't advise you on that.

  The two methods of fusion are very different.

• I put the table of contents to view all levels, not just one?

  I'm in RH 8 and using Webhelp.

  When I generate, I have 2 levels of books.

  When I click on a book at level 2, it closes another book that can be opened at level 2.

  Is there a way to make all the books and pages and all the themes appear when generated?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, there is no characteristic or parameter that you can activate in RoboHelp which will cause the table of contents display initially in a fully developed State. You should consider to send a form would ask option to add in a future version.

• WebHelp, view a topic that is not present in the table of contents

  Hello

  I'm working on RH8. I use multiple TOC and created a table of contents with only the first 4 chapters. After having generated the WebHelp by using that FAKE, even if I look for a subject that did not exist in the table of contents, I can see the help.

  Ideally, if the topic is not added to the table of contents, should not be displayed even if someone searches for it.

  Please help me with this.

  Looks like you expect the table of contents to control what is in the construction and it's not the way it works. It is simply the pointer on key issues, which may need to support the topics where you wouldn't wish that the user to start and that might clutter up the table of contents.

  What you see, it's the way it is supposed to work and how a HAT I've seen. The table of contents indicates what you want to highlight, the search finds all that is in the build.

  You can use exclude research in properties, introduced in RH8. In this way the subject is in the build-up but not searchable.

  If you don't want certain topics, use TCC to exclude.

• Duplicate sections throughout the table of contents after generating the HTML5 multiscreen output

  Use: RoboHelp 10, version 10.0.0.287

  Steps to reproduce the problem:

  1. click on file > create > main layout (Multiscreen_HTML5)

  2 al ' Generate window click on [Save and Generate]

  3. wait

  4. click on [view results]

  5 results show swathes of the table of contents reproduced in other sections.  10 more times to repeat the generation before that the entire table of contents points are correct and I can publish.  This is not preventing me from doing the job, but it's certainly a time killer.

  Background: I inherited a working version.  I did not create it.  I have more knowledge of the HTML language, but I'm not a developer.  I didn't upgrade beyond RH10 option.  I have studied this many times, but have not been able to find a solution.  The only other thing I've seen sometimes are error messages related to the toctree.js file, but I still don't understand those.  Even when I have not, this past yet, but I have included this error just in case it may be related, although I suspect that it is a separate issue.  I don't currently have the line in the js file because this sample is old and I have not seen the question at least a month.

  Other Notes: I've seen a few posts on a similar question in the printed version, but, I do not have a printed version.  I don't know if that makes a difference, and do I know if anyone in the past that put in place or even where to go to watch.

  

  

  Try to move the project to somewhere that the path is not so long and generate a new folder.

• RoboHelp 2015 (12.0.2.384): The search returns topics do not are included in the table of contents

  ENVIRONMENT: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, 8.00 GB of RAM, 64 - bit OS, Office 2010, Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Acrobat Reader DC 2015.017.20050

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:

  • A single RoboHelp HTML project with three exits. One of the outputs is a 'validation' reference that has its own Table of contents.
  • Validation reference Table of contents contains a subset of the subjects in the main help system. For example, the help system main table of contents contains a folder named 'Administration '. This folder is not in the table of contents of reference for Validation.
  • The reference of Validation is displayed on a public web site. Therefore, we applied the tag "Non_public_info" contained in the topics shared that we do not want to appear on the public website.
  • WebHelp parameters are:
    • Validation reference TOC
    • No map file, no sequence to browse
    • Conditional compilation expression: NOT_Non_public_info_AND_NOT_StyleGuidelines_AND_NOT_TRP (we keep our Style rules in the project to facilitate access during development. TRP content must be rejected because it was not released.)
    • Exclude non referenced topics of output is selected.
    • Search options. Only 'Show Total number of search results' and 'View AND search Option in outputs' are selected.
  • After generating the WebHelp, we remove the files that we don't want (RoboHelp generates empty folders, even if the files are not in the table of contents.)

  PROBLEM: A search in the help of Validation reference reveals the topics that we think should not be included because the subjects themselves are not in the table of contents of Validation reference. For example, the section "Data quality analysis" is in the main table of contents help, but not in the table of contents of reference for Validation. Therefore, we do not expect the topic appears in the search results pane at all. But he does. When the user clicks on the subject, the "Resource not found" message appears.

  Nothing shows the topic Style_Guidelines because the StyleGuidelines label conditional construction applies to the entire folder and the "Style guidelines" book in the main table of contents. (Same thing for the TRP folder).

  QUESTION: Why are topics which are not in the table of contents and whose records are not in the project at all appearing in the WebHelp during a search? We need to rewrite the expression of conditional compilation or establish conditions differently. We assume not have topics in the table of contents, not including the topics not referenced in the output, and remove empty folders would be the way to go. Any help is welcome!

  Thank you very much.

  Carol Levie

  The table of contents does not control what ends up in the output for output online. All content tagged and tagged content which is not excluded by the expression of construction will be included. The parameter 'Exclude topics not referenced output' more exclude all subjects which are not in the table of contents AND are not related to any topic which is included in the output.

  On the other hand, for the print output the table of contents control which is found in the output. I think that it will fire a lot of people.

  If you generate the help and that you do not remove the unwanted files, do you still have the error? If this isn't the case, you know that the topic is referenced somewhere in the content of the reference of the Validation.

  Here is the help of RH11. I can't imagine it would have changed, but you could do a search to verify a second time for RH2015.

  Exclude output not referenced topics

  Select this option to exclude any topic that exists in the project, but is not the default theme in page layout or is not referenced table of selected contents, index or sequence to browse, or any referenced subject.

  Note: RoboHelp shows the topics not referenced that are excluded from the output in the output view module.
