Hi,

I've had a lot of help over the last few days figuring out how to use the RH2017 Indigo format. Thanks very much to all who contributed.

I have a dozen or so child projects that I'd like to publish using the Azure_Blue screen layout, and link those to the Parent Indigo TOC. I've tried this briefly this morning and if I add a merged project to the parent Indigo TOC, after I create the output the TOC isnt shown at all.

If I add a book to the Parent Indigo TOC and add the linked project under the book, that book is shown but the project isnt.

HTML5 layout

Thanks all of you for your help and support.

But i am applying the same that you have mentioned and the images got changed

Also, please let me know what is the procedure to apply different images to topics or pages inside the main folder in indigo layout.

Hi,

The easiest way would be to overwrite the images being used with your own ones.

These are stored in !ScreenLayout!\Indigo1 or can be viewed from the Output Setup under Screen Layouts in Robohelp 2017.

The book image being used on the main page is:

Overwrite this image with your own and generate.

The theme-1.css file references these images.

I have learned the reason that custom icons were removed from the editor. It seems that if a project had more than 50 books, then it would revert to the default icon.

I'm inclined to think it would have been left as it was so that only those encountering the problem would be affected (minority?) rather than making it more difficult for those not affected and wanting/needing custom icons. However, it is the way it is.

Custom Icons can still be used but not via the layout editor, just be aware of exceeding fifty books. I don't know if that is fifty at any one level or fifty overall.

Thanks Peter, I'll take a look at your site. Before I do though do you know if it's possible to link from an Indigo layout to an Azure_Blue screen layout?

I believe with HTML5 your topics will open in the layout for that project. That was the case with early versions and is unlike WebHelp which takes on the parent skin.

Personally I wouldn't do it as users will keep seeing different skins with different functionality. Horribly confusing.

This may have changed in later versions of RoboHelp but I haven't tested.

On my site there is demo merged help setup. Try with that.
