Since upgrading to CFB 3, I am unable to view "ColdFusion Documentation" (Help). How do I restore this functionality?

I found a workaround.

Close Builder

Navigate to:

/Applications/ColdfusionBuilder3/plugins/com.adobe.coldfusion.help_3.0.0/toc.xml

Copy it to

tocOrig.xml

Edit:

/Applications/ColdfusionBuilder3/plugins/com.adobe.coldfusion.help_3.0.0/toc.xml

Change to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><toc label="Adobe ColdFusion Documentation">

   <topic label="Configuring and Administering ColdFusion" href="docs/Configuring_and_Administering_ColdFusion.html"/>

   <topic label="CFML Reference" href="docs/Adobe_ColdFusion_Reference.html"/>

   <topic label="Developing Applications with ColdFusion" href="docs/Developing_Adobe_ColdFusion_Applications.html"/>

   <topic label="Installing And Using ColdFusion" href="docs/Installing_Adobe_ColdFusion.html"/>

</toc>

Next go to folder: 

/Applications/ColdfusionBuilder3/plugins/com.adobe.coldfusion.help_3.0.0/docs

1.  Copy

Adobe+Coldfusion+CFML_Reference.html

and rename the copy to

Adobe_Coldfusion_Reference.html

2. Copy Configuring+and+Administering+ColdFusion.html

and rename the copy to

Configuring_and_Administering_ColdFusion.html

3. Copy

Developing+Adobe+ColdFusion+Applications.html

and rename the copy to

Developing_Adobe_ColdFusion_Applications.html

4.  Copy

Installing+Adobe+ColdFusion.html

and rename the copy to

Installing_Adobe_ColdFusion.html

e.g.  I took the '+' out of the file name and inserted a '_'

NOTE: this worked for all but

Adobe+ColdFusion+CFML+Reference.html

It did not work with:

Adobe_ColdFusion_CFML_Reference.html

but renaming it to this worked:

Adobe_ColdFusion_Reference.html

I don't know why.

You must restart Builder for it to take effect.

You can try to use F1(Help) equivalent for your version of MAC operating machine, which may work for this feature..

I reported this to Adobe Builder support and received the following message on October 2.

I'll post back whenever I hear something new.

Hi ...,

We have tested this issue at our end and also getting this issue too.

We have logged bug for this too, we will let you know further update regarding this.

Is this site monitored?  Am I the only one with a mac that this is not working on?  I have this on my iMac and on a Macbook Pro.  Both have the same issue.

These were full installs without the CF11 install.  I already had the developers edition of CF installed.  The documentation is really important to me to review. 

Bump.  This is still not working.  Anyone else have some thoughts?

I have the same problem, mine was a new installation. I installed CF11 developer then CFBuilder on a mac running Mavericks.

This is the first time I've been able to manage the CF server and go directly to  the administrator using Builder.

The help system is not good.  ALL documentation for Coldfusion is the same: Topic not found.  Here is an example.

Searching help never gives me any CFML help.  I have to go on the web and look up anything Coldfusion.  Really a bummer.

In CFB3 we have moved the Documentation online. So to access it make sure you are connected to Internet.

P.S: The code assist help(pressing F1 on any tag/function) is still available offline.
