Question

Breadcrumb placeholders in a multi authored project

Good afternoon Robohelp community!

Today's puzzle sees a master and child project in a mulit-authoring environment. Both projects use identical copies of the stylesheet and master page in which two authors may work on seperate parts of the project at once, then use the merged project feature when publishing.

The master page in both the master and child projects' contains the breadcrumb placeholder, which has been labled ABC123.  The master is generated, and the child is generated and published.

When reviewing the combined output  however, the breadcrumb for the child version has reverted to the inbuilt placeholder Home.  The master version remains as it should be.

e.g.

Master   ABC123 | Main Topic | Sub Topic

Child      Home | Main Topic | Sub Topic

While the easiest fix is to simple use the Home place holder, I would rather use my own. 

Has anybody else discovered this issue, and have a solution?

Cheers

I have not seen anyone else post this problem.

In a merged setup, the home page should take you to the default topic for the merge. Set the child project's breadcrumb Home name to ABC123 and it should work.

Thank you for your response.  As I mentioned, the master page in both the master and child projects' contains the breadcrumb placeholder, which has been labled ABC123.

Unfortunately setting both master and child breadcrumb placeholders has not worked.

With you now. Is this merged webhelp and what version of RoboHelp?
