Question

Can we set Table of Contents as start page for mobiles?

Hi

I am using RH11.0.4 and publishing my course for mobile using PhoneGap Build. This is a mobile-only course. So I am not too bothered about how it behaves on desktop.

Though I have a Welcome page, I want my users to start with ToC. So, I set the Output Folder and Start Page settings to table_of_contents.htm instead of the default index.html. Since PhoneGapBuild won't publish the android app without index,html, I copied that file from older published version of the same course and published the app.

However, when I load it on my mobile, it still starts with the Welcome page and not ToC. Please suggest a workaround.

    Hi Sreekanth,

    If you want table_of_contents.htm to be your landing page, then you can choose that to be your Default topic. When you generate Responsive HTML5 output, the start page(index.html) is only the layout.

    Default topic is what user sees on their mobile. Keep the Output folder and Start Page settings to be the index.html (that way PhoneGap won't mind ) and just set the Default topic to be table_of_contents.htm

    Edit Responsive HTML5 Settings > Goto Content Page > Select the Appropriate Default topic.

    I have included a screenshot of how to change the default topic for your convenience:

    Also I will suggest, you give a try to the Mobile App publishing capability from Robohelp 2015 itself. You won't have to manually go and build the App from PhoneGap site.

    Hi Ritukumar

    I have tried to set the table_of_contents.htm as Default Topic. But it won't show up when I click Select and browse for it.

    Is the table_of_contents.htm a topic in your project ?
