Webhelp from Rh 9 is the first default open book in the table of contents

When generating 9 Robohelp webhelp, I find that the first book in the table of contents is by default open. It's an output generated from 9 hr property? If this isn't the case, please let me know the path for the parameters of this TOC.

Help opens the default topic. If you have the TOC synchronized which is what most people prefer, the book is about this subject in will be opened. Move the default topic above the first book and you should get what you want.

  • Topics by opening the first occurrence in the table of contents

    Background: I created HTML5 Responsive help using HR 2015 for a web application. I organized the Hep role, then pages with these roles, users can access, and then by the tasks users can perform on this page. In many cases, a subject is listed under multiple roles and reuse and efficiency, I just dragged the same theme in the list of the topic in the table of contents as appropriate.

    I also used the text conditionalized on table of contents by role level. Using the example below, I have conditions for physician, nurse, and Patient, but I don't think that this is part of the issue well. Conditionalized roles were created for filtering purposes.

    Question: I have the overview topics that include hyperlinks to headings in red in the example below for each role. When a user clicks the hyperlink in this topic of presentation, he brings them to the FIRST occurrence of this topic in the table of contents, not the link that is associated with their role. When a user with the role of the Patient is in the topic view of their role and click the hyperlink 'Research for patients', help opens on this subject, but the "Searching for patients" in the topic role of physician in the table of contents on the left is highlighted.  Not a show-stopper, but it is confusing for users.

    Also, we had originally planned to use the filter feature to filter role help topics. When I filter to view only a specific role (nurse) and do the steps above, by clicking on the Preview 'Search for patients' hyperlink opens but there is no highlighting in the table of contents because this first occurrence is hidden in all the subjects physician.

    Note: This problem does not occur when I generate the content as WebHelp.

    What I want to do: When the nurse click on the hyperlink for 'Research for patients' of their overview topic, researching topic of patients is open and the search for patients is highlighted in the table of contents under the nurse, not the first occurrence (doctor).

    Questions: Is this a bug or is it repairable? And is it possible to fix it without creating the specific role of topics such as finding doctors for Patients, nursing research for Patients and so forth? I tried to delete the table of contents and start again, but the problem persists.

    Here is an example:

    Doctor

    Patient portal page

    Overview (contains links to sections below - view patient demograhic data, looking for patients, to renew orders)

    Display of the demographics of the patients

    Looking for patients

    Renewal of prescriptions

    Nurse

    Patient portal page

    Overview (contains links to sections below)

    Display of the demographics of the patients

    Looking for patients

    Display of orders

    Patient

    Patient portal page

    Overview (contains links to sections below)

    Update your demographic data

    Display of your prescrpitions

    My opinion would be that this is the expected behavior. My theory is that there is no information within the syntax of hyperlinks. A hypertext link is encoded such that when you click on it, you are taken to the landing page, as if sending the message "find the page named and post it by the specified parameters. What is happening is that the hyperlink goes to the first instance of the HTML page in your table of contents (.hhc file). There is no intelligence, he doesn't "know" that you are in the doctor or the nurse section - section he knows only that the page specified in the table of contents is listed in the file and thus, it only takes you there. The syntax of hyperlinks don't "know" where you are in the help system.

    I just also wanted to report the fault of strike in the Patient section, look a your orders of your example, assuming that you have copied and pasted into this thread.

  • 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.

  • How we can print the page numbers for the shape of the TABLE OF CONTENTS when her excluded from the form page count?

    Hi Experts,

    We have the TABLE OF CONTENTS, followed by 100 forms totally 215 pages.

    We checked in the exclusion of the option of number of form page SUMMARY form at the level of the group.

    Followed forms of TABLE OF CONTENTS forms all use FORMSETPAGENUM rule at the bottom of page.

    the first form followed by TABLE OF CONTENTS form the number starts page 1 of 215 and the last form closes at 215 215.

    Now, I want to print the Page number of SUMMARY form only.

    How can do us?  Any thoughts?

    Kind regards

    RAMAN C

    Hello Raman,

    I guess that you included "Exclude the number of pages" option in the form of table of content (TOC).

    There is a limitation in the studio. The functions of page number (PAGE NUM OF FORM / FORMSET PAGE OF NUM) will be ineffective when we choose the option "Exclude the number of pages" in the form of table of contents. Therefore, you was not able to print many pages of form as a table of contents.

    The only way to print the number of pages is to deselect the option "exclude the number of pages. Then you can print the number of pages in the table of contents in the form of table of contents normally. However, this number of pages in the table of contents will add to the Total number of pages form set. The number of pages all forms can be controlled by Postransdal using the script [FORMSET PAGE NUM = TotalPages() - 1]

    Kind regards

  • 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.

  • RHCL do not pick up to the table of contents or index

    Hello

    We used RoboHTML 9.0.2 for our documentation. We connecting to our legacy word documents and generate webhelp from those. It works very well.

    We do not seek to the script process. We try to use RHCL from the command line to update the webhelp every night. The problem is that the index and the table of contents is not included in the generated file.

    I created a quick test with all our normal parameters project, and it works very well from the GUI of RoboHTML. When I indicated that I wanted to import the table of contents and the index of the working paper, I was asked to enter a new name for each. So for the Index, I have an empty index generated automatically with the same name as the project ("Demo_Wrapper"), which was initially marked as default. I have another clue, which bears the name I gave ("DW_Ind"). This index is up to date and complete the correct information. I have a setup similar to the table of contents.

    We cannot understand why everything is fine in the script generated webhelp outside these aspects. For example, the skin is correctly copied everywhere.

    Any help is more than welcome.

    Thank you

    Steve

    Hello Steve,.

    You can follow these steps:

    (1) open RobohelpHTML and double click the release you want to generate RHCL (launch Robohelp HTML 9-> under single Source Layout Pod-> Double click on WebHelp)

    (2) Webhelp settings window, under content, choose your default content categories

    (3) choose your table of contents Index & Drop Down Menu and save changes

    (4) generate WebHelp output of command RHCL, table of contents and the Index should appear this time

    Note: Assuming you generate WebHelp

    Hope this helps!

  • Minor emergency - copy of the table of contents

    Hi guys,.

    What a day for having a panic... hope there are a few other fine individuals out there work and looking for a way to earn their Badge to act good Christmas...

    OK, so I think it's really simple. I am currently a table of contents for a customer who wants only parts of the information contained in our webhelp, but I'd like any first of the generic TOC. I was stupid (very, very possible) or is there no easy way to make a table of contents based on one that already exists? I can drag and drop the files in project in the project manager, but they are not organised brilliantly and it would take much more time to make sure they were all in the right place...

    Does anyone know a quick fix to this?

    Thanks in advance if anyone can help...

    Hello

    If you use RoboHelp HTML 7 or 8, you can easily copy a table of contents in the table of contents Editor.

    First, open the pod of table of contents Editor. Then click on the button create a table of contents in the toolbar of the OCD pod.

    From there, click on new and place a check mark in the check box to copy the Table of contents by existing.

    Type a name for the new table of contents and choose the table of contents to copy and you should be good to go.

  • & 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.

  • Characters Czechs corrupt in the Table of contents

    Hello world.

    I'm working on a project large enough help in Czech. This isn't something that I started from scratch, I took during a colleague who recently left our company, so I don't know much about how it was done.

    The project is made of 3 elements, resulting in 3 CHMS which are then copied into the same folder with other CHM using some sort of algorithm.

    Once all of these files (CHMS 4 in total) are copied to the folder Help software, they are shown as a component only when you click the button in the software - which means that you see a table of contents complete with chapters of each 3 files).

    The problem is when I compile the individual CHMS, I get the message " " "characterparameters HTML help a not supported for the selected language. Do you want to continue? »

    If I continue, the file is compiled and when I open it, the table of contents seems ok. However, when I copy with the other files and open in the software (a program of type CAD) some characters are replaced with something else:

    Capture2.gif

    I use Robo help 10 and the police in the files is Verdana. I read on another thread than the police could be the problem, but I don't know how to change in all files (except perhaps to Internet Options in the chm directly?)

    My regional settings are also defined in Czech when I compile the file, so it shouldn't be a problem. However, whenever I compile, I get this message and corrupt characters are displayed using the software.

    Can anyone help with this?

    Thanks in advance.

    I use RH 9.

    From my experience, namely character such problems can sometimes more an art than a science. This is what it looks like anyway.

    A few issues involved can be:

    1. Language for non-unicode programs office must match the output of the Control Panel, in the dialog box language and region , on the administration tab, make sure that the language of non-unicode programs is set to the target language.
    2. Language settings in RoboHelp - under file | Project settings, ensure that you have set the language in HR in Czech for all projects. In addition, in the pod of single Source Layouts, right-click on the output and choose Properties in the drop-down list, and language , make sure that it is set in Czech.
    3. Encoding of characters in the file itself - open the file (in this case .hhc) within a text editor like Notepad ++ and in menu coding , check its character encoding. By experience, it must be on encode them in UTF-8 encode in UTF-8 without BOM.
    4. Character encoding in the tag XML - also in Notepad ++, check the coding in the first tag line 1. My hhc file that we translated into Czech, it is set to
  • Why the names of my chapters are not displayed in the table of contents?

    Hello. I use Indesign & DPS simple editing to make an application. In Indesign, I created several different documents that I used to make items that I put together in a Folio.  I saw it using the tool preview Adobe & on the iPad using Adobe Content Viewer. When I select the button table of contents I see thumbnail screenshots of the first page of each chapter, but no text chapter name.  For each of the documents that I used to make items that I named them after the chapter they represent, which is what I thought each chapter name defined.

    The strange thing is that before I did a couple of test folios and they do not have the name of chapter text. So what can I do to display the chapter name in the table of contents?

    Also, is there a way to change change the thumbnail used by the table of contents?

    Thank you

    The answer to both questions is in the Article Properties dialog box. Select the item in the Folio Builder Panel and choose Properties from the context menu. Specify the name of the chapter of "Title" - which is probably empty now. (There is a difference between an article name and a title of the article. The name is used for internal purposes, such as the binding, and the title appears in the application).

    At the bottom of this dialog box, you see a preview of the Table of contents. Click the folder icon and specify a PNG of 70 x 70 that you design.

  • Remove the Table of contents of a Quiz

    Hello

    Is it possible to remove access to the training when the user passes a test? Looks like there must be a way...

    Dan

    Action Rod pointing to that is to assign the value 1 to the system variables cpLockTOC. Its default value is 0. It is not even necessary to have a tip action, at least if you're on a later version of Captivate because the system variable is not in the drop-down list of the accordion to Actions in the slide properties. A simple action on enter to the first question slide will do. Don't forget to switch it to 0 when you enter backstage after the quiz to allow access again. And the linear?

    It is also possible to hide the table of contents with another variable of system but only if you use the table of contents in overlay mode.

  • 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.

    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.

    I have a few entries of table of contents running on more than one line. I would like the text to be indented from the establishment right indent/margin so that text does not as far as the Page numbers on the right margin of the text TOC block extend existing. I put a tab on the right so that the page numbers are tabulated on the right edge of the frame, but if I bring you the right margin with several (currently 5 mm) indenting, I can't have a tab stop to the page outside of the right margin.

    If I insert soft-return/new line tanks they wil get lost every time I have rebuild the table of contents (there will be a lot of it!)

    Any ideas, I'm sure it happens all the time for designers of the book.

    The same way you have a withdrawal of first line, on the left there is a final withdrawal of the straight line. You can set the right two inches (for example) withdrawal and removal of stretch to neutralize two thumbs, all on a single line will go completely to the right of the frame, and any point edge requiring line breaks will break two inches to the left of the right edge of the frame, while the last line will go to the right edge.
