Question

Breadcrumb navigation not working in HTML5 Indigo layout. :(

Hi there,

I've combed through the Adobe RH forums for the answer, and have only found discussions around this subject that advise you to download the latest Indigo layout or update their version of RoboHelp.  I think I have done both but may need some further guidance?

The issue is, when using the Responsive HTML5 'Indigo' layout, the 'breadcrumb' navigational feature at the top of the articles are not working, or occasionally lead to incorrect mapping.  (see my screenshot below)  Everything else on the page (sidebar navigation etc.) works like a charm.

Here are the specs of our RoboHelp, just recently updated:  RoboHelp 2017 Ver 13.0.2.334

I need to deliver this project for a major government project and I'm still feeling my way through RoboHelp (self-teaching myself as I go along)  This forum has been an incredible resource, thank you all so much for your advice!  (go easy on a newbie)

Cheers,

Billy

Hi all,

Just an update, I tried Rick's suggestion (assigning a Topic manually to the TOC Book, rather than using the auto-assign feature) and the situation still is the same, it's not fixed. Using the breadcrumbs to navigate back a level will only show the first topic by default in that TOC Book.

I guess I'll just have to make a suggestion to Adobe on their wishlist.

Thanks all.

Billy

Ok, so you loaded the updates, but did you re-import your layout again & give it a new name? Then customize/re-generate again. That may be the trick you're missing...

Hi Jeff,

Thanks a lot for taking a stab at my issue, yes - I figured out how to download and re-import the new Indigo layout from the Adobe site into my RoboHelp project and gave it a new name.  The breadcrumb navigation issue is still persisting, it just doesn't respond at all or leads to an incorrect destination when I test it.

Anyone else run into this issue and found a way around it?

Really appreciate any tips!

How are you "doing" breadcrumbs? Master page placeholder, globally? There's a couple of different ways to do them - your screen shot isn't really clear as to how things go sideways with the breadcrumb...
