Has anyone tried to incorporate ZoomSearch in an HTML5 responsive layout? We are trying to implement Zoom and migrate to HTML5 at the same time, but so far all the information I've found basically said "custom buttons are very difficult to add".

  Hi, I am using TCS 5 with unstructured FM  and RH in a Win7  64-bit environment and recently upgraded to TSC5 2015; currently using FM 13.02.433 and RH 12.02.284. I have source FM books linked to RH and generating MS HTML hlp, Webhelp and pdf.   I upgraded a chm project and source files from FM 12 and RH 11  to 2015 version.Every time I open the project file, and the FM files have changed in the meantime, I try to update the book in RH, and all chapters with related topics get deleted. I have to relink the book each time I open the project file and try to update the source files in RH. Plus, when I try to generate the chm, I have to adjust the properties ( specify the First topic)If I edit the FrameMaker files while the RH project is open, I can update the book in RH no problem. But once I save and close the project. Then reopen and try to synchronize (i.e. right-click the book in Project pod and click Update all or Force Update all, all topics get deleted a

In the Help for Robohlep 2015 under "Removing Bookmarks" it says the following;Remove bookmarks1)Remove all links to the bookmark.2)Select the bookmark icon in the topic. In the toolbar, click the Delete button.But nowhere in the Help or anywhere else does it tell you how to remove the links to a bookmark.In my project I had a bookmark that I removed and it left me with a broken link. When I restored the bookmark and right click on the little flag and click "Show All References" there are no references to that bookmark. If there are no references to that bookmark, why can't I delete it without getting a broken link?

Hello,I'm documenting a very large, complex software application. I'm considering creating a master project and child projects for a number of reasons, including size of the projects individually and as a complete project.The help file will be stored on a central server which all  users access from their locations. It was decided that putting the help file on each client's site was not a good idea. Should I create HTML5 or WebHelp? Is there a benefit one over the other?The software is set up to assign a URL to each screen in the system and then the system calls that help file. Will master/child projects support this?Will cross-project links continue to work? Again, is there a benefit one over the other of format?I have the read the RoboHelp2015 help, reviewed the Forum and read some helpful articles on Peter Grainge's web site, but want assurance (I guess) before I make many huge, time-consuming changes.Thanks,MDawn

I used PushOK plug in and was able to successfully do version controlling with local file system. But when I try to connect to a network server which has "http" in the URL, it is throwing an error "Unrecognized URL Scheme". What should I do?

Hello , I would like to editable JS after exporting HTML5 canvas from flash cc 2015 ThanksManoj

Hi, Our application is shared with different customers and its features are restricted based on license. Currently, we are creating a WebHelp output which contains all the files related to the application. But with this approach, a customer who is given restricted access of the application, can see the content of all feature and we do not want this to happen. We want to restrict the display of a WebHelp content based on the license provided to the customer.Can you please tell me how to do this? I am using RoboHelp 15. Regards,Prashant

Hi all,I have a user guide for an app my company develops. The guide is created with RoboHelp 2015 with latest updates (12.0.2.384)The user guide is generally viewed online via web browser, and I export it as "Responsive HTML" for this purpose.Recently, the requirement has appeared to have the help available as an app on a mobile device running the actual app the help is for. (at this point no need for context sensitive help etc. - it's just a user guide available on the users' device).I got the "Mobile App" output type working after a bit of playing, and I can now generate a very nice Android app version of my user guide.It all seems to work very well, and is viewable equally well on phones, tablets etc.The only fly in my ointment is that any external links to websites which appear in my user guide simply do not work.ie. tapping a link does absolutely nothing (that I can see). No message, no popup, no jump to external browser, etc.If I view the same user guide via the normal web brows

Hi there!So I'm having trouble getting the TOC to appear in my RH11 project. I talked to Adobe Support and they suggested I delete the xpj and cpd files. I did, and then I opened up the project via the hhp file. Support asked me to create a new TOC and select the Copy existing TOC checkbox. When I try to browse to the hhk file, it does not appear within the Project folder. However, when I view the project files via an Explorer window, the hhk file is there. Can someone tell me why that is? I can't seem to get any movement on my issue with the TOC. Thank you!

Hello everyone,Would anybody happen to know how to fix this problem?Thanks.

When our webhelp is viewed over the network on Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge, performing a search or clicking the Search button causes the TOC to disappear from the left pane until the pane is closed and reopened. I have seen other threads on this issue for RH10, but I can't find a fix for RH11. Does your WebHelp work well in Microsoft Edge?I looks like there was a patch for this on RH10, and the second update for 2015 says it is fixed in there, but I'm having no luck finding a solution with RH11. We are on 11.0.4.291, which appears to be the latest. https://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2015/11/robohelp-2015-release-update-2-released.htmlhttp://www.wvanweelden.eu/articles/robohelp-patches-and-updatesCan anyone point me to a solution for RH11, or am I forced to upgrade to RH 2015? Thanks in advance,Judy

Hallo, ich versuche derzeit unser Firmellogo als Favicon in Robohelp zu intergrieren. Die Vorschau in den Einstellungen zeigt meine Grafik, aber die diversen Browser leider nicht. Es hatte jemand kürzlich dasselbe Problem und konnte es lösen, indem er den Tag für das favicon manuell in die index.htm eingefügt hat. Leider klappt das bei mir aber auch nicht. Hat jemand eine Idee, wo der Fehler liegen könnte?LG

does anyone know if there is a way to optimize the number of files produced when generating an output in HTML5 (with RH11)??  The project that I have to compile is composed of 19 different merged projects and the number of total files (although the minimum size) becomes really huge...another question...someone know a way to insert the search filters in the generated project? i found an example here... http://www.wvanweelden.eu/blog/2014/02/16/adobe-robohelp-filtering-webhelp-search-results but this method seems to be based solely on the recognition of a tag associated in the title of the topic, whereas I'd need a method to insert an equivalent tags within the text topic.thx

I would like to know if there is any option to apply conditional tags dynamically to the output. This is the scenario. There is an application, which might have various options. These options will be integrated based on the customer requirement. For instance, Customer A might need some options which should be hidden form customer B and customer B need some options which should be hidden from customer A.  Now based on the customer requirement, is there an option by which the same HTML Help  can be configured for Customer A and Customer B since many of the options are common? Please note that t applying conditional tag has to be done on the output, and not before generating the HTML Help.

After upgrading a project from RoboHelp 10 to RoboHelp 2015, all topics in the project are deleted when the topics are subsequently updated. The project is a linked FrameMaker document - the project upgrades as expected, but when I update the topics, one of two things happens: Links are broken and all topics appear in the "Broken Links" folder or,All topics simply disappear.(Running Adobe Tech Comm Suite 2015  on Windows 7, 64-bit; RoboHelp updated to v12.0.2.384; FrameMaker updated to v 13.0.2.433.)I did have some success updating topics if I update each 'chapter' in the book singly, but if I use the "Update All" option, the results are as stated above. And, as you can see, the results are not consistent. This has happened with both projects that I have converted to RoboHelp 2015.I can't find any information about this in any forums. Screenshot included below to show the effect of "Updating all" in a project.  I appreciate any assistance with this annoying quirk!  Carol

Seeking hosting service for RoboHelp SERVER (9) and our RoboHelp (11) files.Sadly, I'm working for a second large institution where the IT department and its web app admins refuse to install "RoboHelp Server" because of their concerns about Tomcat perhaps opening some vulnerability on their IIS servers (or destabilizing them); and, they didn't want to run a Linux/Apache server in their all-Windows web operation. Sigh.Know of any place that does hosting of files of this sort? Adobe told me they did not.If you do, got some PRICE QUOTE$ ???Please post a reply here.Thanks,Tom

  Hi, I am using TCS 5 with unstructured FrameMaker and RH in a Win7  64-bit environment and recently upgraded to TSC5 2015; currently using FM 13.02.433 and RH 12.02.284. I have source FM books linked to RH and generating MS HTML hlp, Webhelp and pdf. For the first time I upgraded a chm project and source files from FM 2012 and RH 11  to 2015 version and compiled and suddenly there are many issues with the chm file even though the only thing that is different is minor content changes in the FrameMaker source files. Very disappointing! The newer tools are supposed to create less issues not more. I managed to resolve some issues but there are more to be discussed in separate posts.   In this post I am asking for help with Go to URL hypertext in MS HTML helpSo, issue 1: None of our web links (Go to URL hypertext) open in a new window  any more, i.e. they “don’t launch a browser and display the specified Web page” as GO to URL is supposed to do. They open in the

I recently bought RH2015 and upgraded my project from RH11 with it. The upgrade process works fine and finishes successfully (as indicated by final message box). However, then when I try to close the project or exit RH2015 it won't do it. The only way to "exit" is to kill the RH process. If I do that and reopen the project again then RH2015 complains that the CPD file is corrupt. I tried deleting the CPD file and reopening the project. It'll open and rebuild the CPD file but still won't close cleanly. So the cycle starts all over again.Even worse, none of the outputs generates. When I click on Generate.. for any of the SSL nothing happens.Editing topics and saving them seems to work.At this point RH2015 is useless to me. Please help!Regards,Wolfgang

Hello everyone,I just upgraded from RoboHelp 2010 to 2015 and noticed that 2015 has deleted some table IDs in the code.  I do have the last update that brings the version to 12.0.3.428.  I tried to use the "Find and Replace" tool to look in the code so it could find <table > and replace with <table id="gray_table">.  I keep getting "No files found with matching text." despite the fact I have the "Find in Source Code" checked off.  I have deleted the cpd file and re-started RoboHelp but made no difference.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.

Hello,In my new job, the company has created a screen details page for every screen in the software application. To connect to help for a specific screen you enter the URL for each topic in the appropriate screen within the system. I found a excellent answer to this issue on the Forum which was very helpful.Background: The whole WebHelp project file will be located in a central location where all customers access the help, rather than the help file living locally at each location. There are two levels of help buttons in the software: one I'll be using the access the entire help project from the main page; the other icon which is on the screen itself I will use to display the screen's specific help topic.My question: I have created many topics before I understood how they manage the context sensitivity. If there are links to other topics when a screen-specific topic is displayed, will the links to the other topics work? Will the Back button return to the specific screen topic?Any recomm

We build our own software and are researching moving to an online solution. In the past with *.chm files we maintained a copy for each major version because it was relevant to the build of the software. However, if we move it online it will no longer need to be part of the software build process so does it need to be maintained with major versions or use one help text solution with a placeholder for when it was last updated and what version the topic is relevant to?
