Hi there, I asked this in another thread, but thought it deserved it's own discussion. We've had a lot of issues when we publish hyperlinks. The links turn into relative links and do not work with our SSL files. Therefore, we've been going into the html for each link and turning the link into an absolute link. Does this have to do with how we've organized our files? Does everyone have to do this?
Great information. I did mean generate. When we generate, the links (to other files in the project folder or in another folder on the server, but not imported into the project) are now relative as the linked document is not brought into the SSL generated file. We do not have any of our file really managed into smaller folders. It is set up as described below:
-Project
-SSL Webhelp generation folder
-Topic files
-Folders for topic images
-Hyperlinked document
Please let me know if there's a better way to organize. I'm sure this is a "stupid question" but I am learning as I go!
Hmmm, your project structure does look a bit odd. But I'm guessing you may not be understanding what you see in the RoboHelp application.
When you link to other files, you really should have them inside the project. That way the links will still work once you place the content in its final destination. So I suppose this is the first issue. Where will the files ultimately be when the end user accesses them? If you are creating WebHelp, normally you would copy them to a Web Server. If you are creating a .CHM, it will end up as a single file that is normally copied to the end user's hard drive.
