Formation of URLs

Hi, Last fudgement

I have not used these in a while so you may want to test. An Adobe engineer (Tulika Garg) kindly sent me these URLs that I keep as a reference.

There are two ways you can refer to a topic of one project from another for projects published to RoboHelp Server.

Method 1 :

You can use the absolute server path of topics to refer topics from one merged project to another. For example,

WebHelpPro project “help1” published to public area “area1” has a topic “topic1.htm”.

To refer to this topic from another project, you can use hyperlink as: <a href=”/robohelp/robo/server/area1/projects/help1/topic1.htm”>link</a>

Method2:

You can use the relative server path of topics to refer topics from one merged project to another. For example,

WebHelpPro project “help1” published to public area “area1” has a topic “topic1.htm”.

WebhelpPro project “help2” published to public area “area1” has a topic “topic2.htm”.

So server path of topic1.htm is => <rhs install>/ robo/server/area1/projects/help1/topic1.htm

And server path of topic2.htm is =>  <rhs install>/ robo/server/area1/projects/help2/topic2.htm

To refer to topic1.htm from topic2.htm, you can use relative path as : <a href=“../help1/topic1.htm”>link</a>

Here are some other sample URLs that might come in handy that I have used.

http://localhost:8080/robohelp/admin (To reach the adminstrator application and Manage RoboHelp Server.

URL to a Project called EmployeeCare (&prj) and to an Area called HumanResources (&area)

http://localhost:8080/robohelp/server?prj=EmployeeCare&area=HumanResources

Example Context Sensitive Help call

http://localhost:8080/robohelp/server?prj=HumanResouces&area=general&wnd=CSHWindow&ctxid=1
