Question

Multiple Topic Page Icons in RH7 TOC ??

Hi,

Was wondering if it is possible to use multiple icons for topic pages in  RH7 (Webhelp output) Table of Contents.

I know how to change the icon for books and topics/pages, but that change is uniform to all topics and pages. Is there a way to assign a different icon to multiple pages and another to other pages, etc.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi there

    There is a way but it's so painful as to make it very unworthwhile.

    This is something many have desired and expressed interest in. Please consider asking Adobe for it. You do this using the Wish Form.

    Cheers... Rick

    Hi Rick,

    Thank you for the very quick comeback on this. I will indeed mention it in the wish section.

    Just for curiosityies sake, you wouldn't have a link or description of the "very painful" process would you?

    Again, thanks for getting back.

    Hi Mike

    I'd have to do some deep digging on an old computer in order to unearth the information. If memory serves, the process was to locate a specific JavaScript file. Then locate a specific function. You duplicated the function and gave it a different name. Then you modified it to use the image of your choosing. Then you had to somehow reference the correct TOC element to point specifically to that function.

    I recall trying what was outlined with no success, so obviously I had overlooked a step or it wasn't properly conveyed to me to begin with. Ultimately I simply abandoned adding it to my Skinny on Skins file as I figured if I was unable to make it work I felt others probably would be as well.

    The steps were provided to me by another forum member a few years ago. Who knows, maybe they are reading this post right now. So perhaps they will offer to send you the steps.

    Cheers... Rick
