RoboHelp

Hi Everyone, For the last several months I've been working in RoboHelp to stand up a new project for a client. This client utilizes Team Foundation Server (TFS) to store and deploy code to the system. As such, RoboHelp was integrated with TFS via version control so that multiple individuals could access RH from different locations and update content, as necessary.I have found that I am having several issues:1. Multiple files do not appear to be shared or pulled into RH even though they exist on TFS. For instance, I created 2 different Responsive HTML 5 output files and although they exist on TFS after I checked them in, I recently upgraded RH and the files no longer appear in the Outputs pod. Additionally, no one else can get the outputs that I created to appear on their local versions of RH.  Thoughts? -- Some additional files that do not appear to be updated properly via the TFS/RH connection include: WebAppHelp.hhc, any snippets, any output files, rhbuildtag.apj, rhlayout.apj.2

Anyone know where can i download adobe robohelp 11?thanks

Hi,I have RoboHelp 15. I want to use CVS as a source control. Can RH be integrated with CVS? Regards,Prashant

The company I work for uses Drupal for the website. They would like for me to integrate my WebHelp in Drupal. Has anyone tried this? I haven't seen any Drupal modules that import from RoboHelp or whatever. Or perhaps just a way to have a Drupal "wrapper" and frame it around the webhelp?Thanks,Karla

I don't know what the name of the function was in earlier versions - I just knew what icon to click. What I need to do in RH15 is display topics in a browser WITHOUT generating output. I went through every tab in the Customize User Interface dialog, and didn't see anything that looked like it would do this. What is the name of this function, and which tab is it under?Thanks!

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

First off, I know I did it wrong. Now, I'm trying to clean up my mess in the most time efficient method possible.I inserted images with cut and paste.  The images were stored in the root of the project, and not in the Images folder as I expected.  I tried to drop and drag inside the Project Manager, but the files won't budge.Next, I moved the file in File Explorer (outside RH) and then manually updated the link.  That works, but it is time intensive.  Is there an easier way?Shannon

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

I was notified today that our online help had the text highlighted in yellow. I opened RH11, checked multiple topics, and every one of them had all the text highlighted in yellow. Do any of you know how I may have accidentally done this and how set it back to normal (non highlighted text)?Thank you,Eric

Hi,I have a word document to import for robohelp 2015,  there isn't the  option of using the existing toc, I need to make a new toc.Why can nt i use the existing toc?

After a system recovery I re-installed Robohelp 11 on my Desktop.I have a problem with opening old projects. When opening from the normal folder on my D:\Aart Korstjens\Mijn Documenten\My RoboHelp Projects\Adobe RoboHelp 2015 I see this message. . When I copy this folder to my desktop and I try to open the same project from there is no problem!Also a problem with new projest. When I try to create a new folder I see this message.What went wrong with the re-install?Greetings from the NetherlandsAart

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.

When I select baggage file and browse to my network folder robohelp stops responding.

I want to generate a printed documentation in a .docx format, the docx file is empty after the generation, the creation seems to run correctly (if i choose a .doc format it is quite generated correctly ) . I'm using  Robohelp 2015 and Word 2013. I also set the Macro settings to Enable all macros in the "Trust Center" option of Word 2013 and it is the same . Are there some more configuration to do ? thanks a lot for an answer.

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

Hi again,I have created several user centre pages that all include a banner at the top of the page with several buttons designed into the banner (so the banners are all one graphic created in Photoshop). For each banner image I have incorporated 5 image maps. I am wondering if there is a limit to the number of image maps I can put on one image?The issue is that I have to keep re-applying the link for the image maps because they stop working (when I Preview and when I generate).Also, on some of my pages I have a list of text hyperlinks - and some of these links just keep dropping out and I have to keep re-applying.Can someone please tell me how to rectify this issue? Did I miss another bug fix release from Adobe perhaps?Thanks,Pam

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!

I am using Robo Help 2015 and when I generate my output and view it in IE 11, the Search functionality displays no search results and the TOC, Index and glossary do not display. Is there a patch for RH 2015? The RH 11 patch for a similar problem does not work.

Hi Team,I didn't find the Robohelp 10 download link in your site. Please provide the download link details to downlaod the Robohelp 10.

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

The Reports menu is not displayed under the Tools menu in RoboHelp 11. Does anyone know if there is a setting which turns off the display of this menu please?Thanks for any advice you can offer.

I want to create snippets based on the text that I select in a topic. As I need to create a huge collection of snippets library, I was wondering if there is any feature or ready-made script available that helps me with converting individual table rows as snippets, it would save a lot of time for me in creating snippets. Can anyone please guide me on this?

I am trying to work with the script webhelp to chm converter:a) I want a chm project with a good-looking user interface. My hh.exe- test of the context sensitivity fails.b) I want a webhelp project to be more browser independent. The "webhelp-to-chm-converter" once again is my favorite joker! In both cases the output generation  works fine. But I don't have an idea how to check the contextsensitvity. And I don't have an idea what to tell our software engeneer what to do to switch from the old chm (a) or webhelp (b) to the new "webhelp-to-chm"Do you have answers or where to find answers?
