Twistie Question

I really like the idea of layering content with twisties for online outputs, but when it comes to PDF output, I'm struggling with the best way to deal with them. For example, in my PDF, I don't want a button that says "Show All." I came up with the following code:-----------------------------------------------------<!--Begin Online Output Section---><?rh-cbt_start condition="IncludeInOnlineOutput" ?><p class="Body-Text"><img src="./Graphics/btnshowall.gif" onclick="ShowAll(this)" alt="" id="showall" name="showall" style="border: none;" width="73" height="21" border="1" /></p><p class="Body-Text"><?rh-dropspot_start class="dropspot" href="javascript:TextPopup(this)" id="a10" dataid="POPUP10" ?><span class="HoverIntro">Add Information</span> </p><?rh-dropspot_end ?><?rh-droptext_start class="droptext" id="POPUP10" style="display: none;" ?><?rh-placeholder type="snippet" ref="Procedure_01" ?><?rh-droptext_end

Meta name = copyright

On all my topic pages, under view HTML, the meta data for copyright needs updating.  I've looked and looked for a field to update this info, but I'm not finding anything.  Where is this info pulling from?  I want to update the text that is in red below:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><meta name="copyright" value="XXXX ® Help - Version 4.0.xx Copyright® 1997-2011 XXX XXX Solutions, Inc." content="" /><meta name="generator" content="Adobe RoboHelp 10" /><title>Post Contractual Debit</title><link rel="StyleSheet" href="../ADV30_rtf.css" type="text/css" /><script language="JavaScript" title="BSSC Special Effects" src="../ehlpdhtm.js"    type="text/javascript"&g

Sharing the spell check text file with multiple users (Shared Resource)

We upgraded to RH2015 this year and one of our goals was to implement a global way of accessing the Spell Check text file so all the writers are working from the same spell check list.So, in one topic there may be a reference that is currently not in the spell check file:When you rt-click and select Spelling | Add to Dictionary it gets added into an obscure .txt file located in the C:\Users\<username> folder:The text file is an alphabetized non-delimited file containing all the words that have been added. Based on the other language files it appears the file is empty when RH is first installed so I don't think there's a default list for the spell check functionality. Also, all words added from all projects are in this same file - not sure what Adobe was thinking but I digress.With multiple writers, I was hoping we could share the same list but I don't see how since this is tied to the specific user account.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Script error (whtopic.js) when opening a topic that contains an embedded video (iFrame)

Hello!Facts first: RoboHelp HTML 11.0.4.291 / SSL=WebHelp / Windows 8.1 / IE 11.0.9600.18283. And I have searched this forum (and the whole WWW, actually) for an answer, but to no avail.And: English is not my mother tongue and I'm working with the German version of RoboHelp; I hope you'll understand my problem anyway. 😉I'm working with a project that contains Map IDs for context sensitive opening of topics. All of a sudden, we seem to have a problem when a context sensitive topic is being opened, but only, when this topic contains an embedded video (iFrame), which is linked to our channel on YouTube (when I delete the embedded video, the error does not pop up anymore, so the reason for this problem has to be the video). I'm getting a script error regarding the file whtopic.js, but this script error is not really helpful, because it only shows 0 for line, character and code (see Image below):When I click Yes in this error message, the topic is shown correctly and I can play the

Conditional text appearing in Search

I have a RH 11 project that uses conditional tags to generate customized content for each of our products. Some of the tags are applied at the topic level in the TOC, while others are applied to selected text within topics. When I generate the CHM, conditionalized topics whose tags were excluded don't appear in the TOC. However, if I go to the Search tab and enter a word or phrase that appears only in excluded topics, those topics suddenly show up in the search results! Why does the Search function find excluded topics? Why were they generated at all, if those tags were excluded? At first I thought it was due to the fact that the tag was applied at the topic level. But when I went back and applied conditional tags to the text within these topics as well, I got the same results.Thanks!

Conditional text in TOC and Index

I inherited a RoboHelp project that is linked to FrameMaker source files. I recently upgraded to Tech Comm Suite 2015 but have not yet been able to install the updates. The person who originally set up the project no longer works here, and I've never done a project this way before, so I'm having some trouble figuring this out on my own. I should add that I'm generating WebHelp.I now have to make a new project that is a subset of the original. I created a new .book file in FrameMaker and added only the chapters I need, using conditional tags to mark text within those chapters that applies to one project but not the other. As far as the content goes, everything works fine in RoboHelp. The problem comes with the Table of Contents and Index. Here's what I am doing:1. In FrameMaker, set the condition tag for all the files in the book, then generate the TOC and Index. These are correct---only the entries that are tagged with that condition appear.2. In RoboHelp, create a new project and link

ERROR unable to build Android app

Hi,I'm  trying RH11 on a Windows Ultimate system, trying to get the generate for  mobile devices, Android to work. I've installed the Android SDK (part of  the complete ADT) in a "Development" folder in the C drive, installed  JDK for Win 64, added the PhoneGap and ANT unzipped folders to the  "Development" folder and then in the RH10 dialog to generate the Android  APK Please see the screenshot showing the error message and the relevant part of the  log which looks like the ANT path is not working correctly. The build  fails every time. I've tried to do some troubleshooting online and for  example, came across setting the environment variables for the ANT  folder, which I did, but with no success in fixing the problem. My path settings are in a second screenshot below.Thank you for your help.Kind Regards,
