Question

I get this message everytime I modify a topic page...

I am using RH8 but got the message in RH7 on all my projects, new and converted from RH6.

In RH7 I just clicked OK, and the only problem this caused is that all the pages would be "new" after generating so the publishing took a long time.

With RH8 a new problem has arisen. When I click OK, the path to the files on the Master Page header change to the path of the topic page I am modifying. This causes the image and script liinks to be broken on every page using the Master Page.

For example:

The Master Page is in the project root and in the header I have an image of images/Example.png.

When I edit the body of the topic page processing/about_processing.htm, which uses the Master Page in question, I get the message above and click OK.

If I look at the Master Page the image path is now processing/images/example.png, which doesn't exist.

Is there some setting that I need to adjust or some tweek I can make so that every change to a topic doesn't make RH think the Master Page was updated?

Thanks in advance John

    Hi all

    Only just spotted this discussion so am a little late..

    We use RH8.0.2 here and I also get this problem and the source control related issue mentioned lower down in the discussion. It's very irritating and does not give the impression of a stable reliable package.

    Has this problem been solved? I have been getting the same thing with RoboHelp8. I thought I was going crazy when my image links kept being broken. I wasn't as frequent at first but almost consistently now.

    Any help shared would be greatly appreciated.

    Make Yours an Incredible Day,

    No real solution but I stumbled on to a way to prevent the Master Page from updating. I removed the file from our source control app and left the local copy read only. When RH8 trys to update the Master Page I get an error that the file cannot be checked out and the update fails. It doesn't seem to affect the topic page at all and I don't have to keep fixing the Master Page links.

    Hi John,

    May you please share the HTML code of your master page?

    Thanks and regards,

    Here is the HTML from RH8 - I can't imagine how the Master Page is the problem but then again I haven't been able to resolve this for two years.

    The tags where the path changes when I save a topic are the <src=""> and <img src=""> in the header.
