Output Project Title Link on Topic Page Broken after Updating to 20

The only other thing I can think of is to try generating to a new output folder, in case something is messed up. Theoretically everything is deleted when you generate, but I've seen reports in the past where people have said this has helped.

It is only available in our output

Can you access the start.htm file in your Contents panel within Robohelp? Or is it only available in your output?

Just to clarify: The start.htm file in our set is just a starter index file, so it doesn't have any topic content. The welcome.htm file is a topic file with content.

We like using the skin home page option because of the ability to stylize the page with tiles, so we don't have any intention on using a file that would have topic content, since that inserts the content below the tiles. 

I've removed the file from the Home Page field and regenerated the help, but that does not seem to fix the issue either.

Do you have any other suggestions as to what I might be able to adjust in order to make the project name link send the user back to the home page? Thanks.

I just realised 'welcome,htm' is your default topic, so if you have a topic called 'start.htm' then you'd need to rename it something else, obviously. (Sorry, my brain is in deadline territory 🙂 )

The Start Page field is automatically generated by Robohelp for the output. It contains information to "stick" the toc, glossary, index, and topics together. In Classic, people would use the same file name in the Default Topic field and it would cause problems in their output. I imagine using it in the Skin Home Page Content field causes similar problems for the new Frameless output.

I think the Skin Home Page Content should be a topic in your project and will display that topic content below the toc tiles on your home page.

I checked both of your links and neither displays topic content below the tiles, which suggests you don't have a topic in your project called 'start.htm'. So you should be able to clear the Skin Home Page Content field without causing any issues.

If you do have a topic in your project called "start.htm" then I'd recommend renaming it to something else like "welcome.htm" (using Robohelp, not File Explorer). Robohelp should update all references, but it would be worth checking a few topics, the toc, index and output presets to make sure. If the developers have used links to "<webaddress>/start.htm" in the application, they shouldn't have to change anything as that file will still be in the output (created when you generate the project).

Thank you for your reply.

We are using the Frameless output.

• Start page = start.htm
• Default Topic = welcome.htm
• Skin home page = start.htm

Which output are you generating? Responsive or Frameless?

Start page, Default topic and Skin home page are different things. Can you confirm what value is in the three fields in your output preset? (I think Skin home page is only available for Frameless.)

if you attach files, please use the Insert Photo icon to add the images inline as it's easier to help. Plus the forum is buggy and regularly refuses to let us download attachments. Additionally, if we view attachments, we can't reply until we leave the page and come back, because more bugs...
