Using RH2020.7.46

Can any image be used when applying twisties?

I have two .png images (expand and collapse) that appear in preview but do not appear after publishing.

Additionally, when I click either Image Placement icon (to place the twisty image to the left of the drop down title or the right of the drop down title) the file paths to the twisty images disappear.

Any suggestiongs?

Also check your CSS file. Open it and locate the code in source view. It should look something like this.

a.twisty {}
a.twisty::before {
vertical-align: middle;
margin-right: 0.25rem;
content: url('../images/arrowright.gif');
}
a.twisty.pressed::before {
vertical-align: middle;
margin-right: 0.25rem;
content: url('../images/arrowdown.gif');
}

Topic view, which matches the preview page

Generated and Published view

Properties pod for Hyperlink Style 'a.dropspot2' which I created. This shows the image page of the .png files. When I click the 'Image Placement' icon (see under file path on left side of screenshot) the paths disappear.

finally and likely most revealing, the code for the hyperlink style I created does not have any of the code shown in your sample.

I may have been confused with your code question and pasted the wrong section. See add'l screenshot below.

@Jeff_Coatsworth I don't think the preview is lying, that is working from the local topic and it seems like your first answer that the images are not getting to the output.

@Brian22813887w8gl It would help to see what you are seeing where. Please add some screenshots of what you see in the topic and what you see in the output. Please use the photo icon to insert images within the post. Seeing an image inline with the text makes it easier for anyone answering or viewing the post.

See below if you want to make your screen name more friendly.

Ah, a topic preview - I was thinking it was the "I'm finished generating, would you like to see it now?" type preview

Ah, a lying preview! See if the sample project displays the same behaviour - if it does, then it leads to an issue with the software; if it doesn't, then there's something going on in your project.

Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with 'the sample project'.

It's a project in Documents > My RoboHelp Projects. It should show on your Starter Page.

I don't think there are any twisties in it though.

Publishing or just generating? Try generating locally & see if they appear - if they do, then it's probably not getting all the files when publishing to your final location.

The twisty images will appear in the preview window but do not appear after generating locally and (of course) then don't appear after publsihing to the server.
