Question

"Bookmark this page" button

Hi,

I would like to add a "bookmark this page" link on my webhelp skin.  I've tried several scripts, but none of them work properly. I haven't been able to find any info on this....

1. Does Robohelp/Webhelp support this function with an easy "couple of clicks" creation?

2. If not, has someone been able to successfully add a "bookmark this page" function?

thanks.....

Hi there

You can certainly insert a "Bookmark this page" button on the pages themselves and have the topic bookmarked. The problem here is that if you do that and you visit the bookmark later, all you will see is the topic. You won't get the surrounding frameset.

So the question is, would you be happy with this behavior? If so, I'll pop in the details. But if you aren't interested, I won't bother with the effort.

Cheers... Rick

Hi,

I've completely forgotten about this issue until I was reviewing some of my notes.  

Sure, if you have the details on how to set up a "bookmark this page", with any result, that'll work. Maybe I could tweek it a little bit for my needs....

I was thinking I could probably create a button on the skin instead of a button on each page, but I never dived into the research...

Thank you!

Hi again,

I know it's possible to add a "bookmark this page" function to individual pages (one at a time <sigh> ); but is it possible to add this function on the skin?  I can't figure out how to make the url in the code be the current page, in other words, just bookmark "the-page-that-is-displayed" not the RH project's "home" page.

I realize that adding a bookmark this page function will only display the page as-is and not within the robohelp project, but this is fine.  The bookmark function is a requirement for my project.

thanks!
