Question

Need help for developer

I am the only one at the company with any Robohelp experience - we just got the license - and I need a programmer to assist me with setup. I recall very little about the folder hierarchy for parent/child projects, and the programmer needs me to walk him through this. What do I need to tell him to do to set this up on the server? Is there any published information on this that I can send him a link to?

    Hi Maureen.

    Are you going to produce a merged WebHelp to a server location. I ask because this forum is for the RoboHelp Server application which is something different altogether and I don't want to mislead you with an incorrect answer. If I surmise correctly, check out this link on Peter Grainge's site - an excellent resource BTW -  which will tell you everything you need to know.

    If you are publishing to the RoboHelp Server, you do not need to do the setup in Peter's article. So long as your RoboHelp Server area has the option set to automatically merge projects of the same type, you should be OK to go.

    Unless something recently changed, this is the RoboHelp General forum, is it not?

    Cheers... Rick

    Hi there

    Questions questions. What output are you creating? (WebHelp, Flash Help, AIR Help (Application) AIR Help (Browser), Microsoft HTML Help (CHM).

    Is this output to be linked to an application or just placed on a server where folks have a link to view it?

    Is this to be a Merged output?

    Cheers... Rick

    Sorry! I gave you nothing! I'm in Robohelp 9, and I will be using WebHelp primarily (and Air Help later,and only sporadically). I believe they want the link to the online help from the company web site, but this could change.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "merged output". There will be multiple projects merging into the parent project. Is that what you mean?

    Thanks!
