RoboHelp

I am using RH 11. We generally output our help projects to WebHelp, but we still have a few .chm outputs.Marketing has provided us with a new branding for our Help projects. We implemented the new skin for the WebHelp and then applied this skin to the chm outputs.This works really well. The only issue is that in the new chm output, we no longer have access to the Favourites functionality.Does anyone know how to add this functionality or a workaround to create favourites in this new chm output?Any help would be much appreciated.Cheers,Mack

All-Well, I'm not out of the woods yet. I've discovered that my issues of logging in to RHS Config Manager (admin/admin, but then nothing happens when I click Sign-In) returns when I select SQL Server Express. This despite the fact that the Config Mgr's Test Connection function shows success (see graphic below). Any ideas what might be going on?BTW, is there any source which shows screen shots of EXACTLY how SQL Server Express, Tomcat, and RH Server needs to be set up? I see that others in the forum have had similar frustration with this question.

I am looking to do some reorganizing of some help projects here at my new employer.  For the past 10 years, I have only been dealing with web-based apps so all my help has been web help... sometimes page-level, sometimes not.  However, I will need to now convert and/or create new help for a software app that is thick-client style.  I need to know what the optimum output format would be to work best for page-level, thick-client, online help... HELP!BTW.. I am currently using RH10 for Windows 7.Thanks,kb

When I use the browse forward and back buttons the pages shows up in illogical order. The reason is that my project was imported from Robohelp 7 to Robohelp 11. In Robohelp 7 all the pages was located in a large Word document and they were located random as they were made. It is this order that is imported.  Is it possible for me to affect this order in Robohelp 11 so that it becomes logical when I scroll back and forth with these keys? I have tried to find out if there are any id on the pages that I can manipulate, but have not been able to find this.

I'm using RoboHelp 9 HTML. I have a set of documents that will be printed from the help system on a pretty routine basis. I need to force a page break as a designated point in each of these docs but only when printing. Is there some HTML code I can insert (or another solution) to make this happen? Thanks.

I am trying to put a hyperlink on my page which redirects to open up a .chm file and then jump to the topic where I am expecting it to be. For example I have 5 fields on my webpage. Each has a separate page of description. I have created 5 different topics and htm files to describe those. Now I need to jump to the page of the exact field topic when the user clicks on the hyperlink on my webpage. How can I make this functionality working? Is there any way to jump to the exact topic page from the .CHM file? Please guide me..I am in the a big trouble out here to enable this functionality...please anybody help...thanks for that in advance....

HiI have a ToC with three levels Unit > Lesson > Topic > Sub Topic. This ToC is coming from the linked FM. The ToC is paginated at Topic level and Sub Topic is basically a section within the Topic. Now, I wanted my users to navigate through the course at sub topic level using Browse Sequence buttons. For example, in the screenshot shared below, I want the users to move from First Sub Heading sub topic to Second Sub Heading topic using Browse Sequence buttons. I thought I could achieve this by increasing the browse sequence levels. But that is not working. So, I am curious. What do these mean? Can I actually achieve my goal at all? If browse sequence level is not the correct way, can somebody please help me with the right approach?Thanks

Hi experts. I've a couple RH Server questions:Supposing RH Server's database fails, or at least it's connection to the database fails. What would be the consequences. That is, would RH Server crash and not serve up anything. Or, would it simply be that reports are no longer accessible, etc.Has anyone used RH Server (installed on a Win 7 system) connected to a SQL Server Express instance (installed on another Win 7 system to spread CPU load).My IT Manager is very leery of the free database option (for performance/reliability reasons), but there's no way we're going to spend almost 20K$ on SQL Server or Oracle DB. So, I'd like to allay his concerns about the SQL Service Express option.Thanks in advance.-Kurt

I used RoboHelp 9 to generate WebHelp. I applied Adobe's IE10 Patch for "Existing WebHelp created with RoboHelp 9" and the "IE10 patch for RoboHelp 9 installation" provided by William van Weelden. My Search results appear as gibberish (see below example). However, when I click on a number, a help topic appears. Weird huh? Any suggestions for a fix oh wise sages? Thanks in advance.0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 .5 /1 2 3 00b 1 2 3 00d 0100b 1 2 3 0100d 01s00 1 2 01s07 1 2 01s09 1 2 08p01 0b 1 2 3 0d

I'm just starting to find my way with Responsive help and am creating a project where a non-standard font needs to be used. This is fine in topics - I provide a link to the font in every page and it works great. But try as I might, I can't fathom how to change the font of entries within the table of contents.Bumbling about so far, I've found the Table of Contents.slp file and put the same link to the font in the header there (<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans" />) - I then customised my layout to specify the font name (PT Sans) for the TOC Desktop, but this seems to have no effect at all: when I generate the help, the TOC renders in what looks to be a default Times font.I'm really just guessing at this stage so if anyone can point me in a slightly more considered direction, I'd be really grateful!ThanksClaire

We had RH9 and server went live recently. But unfortunately stuck in this dilemma:In order to get better searching function, we have to use one pane instead of two panes;With one pane, RH9 server stops generating statistical reports  (we have window 2008 R2 as the application server)Adobe told me this is a bug. I am quite surprised:  with this bug, how could RH9 server gets its marketing? Do you have any idea about this issue? I searched the user forum and get nothing. I am wondering any possible that we are the only customer using RH server 9 for its reporting? Or this bug only triggered on certain configuration conditions?Appreciate your any comments. Frances

Please help on this.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but my help files aren't working properly. I've made edits to them since last year, but when I open the help files from our product, I see last year's help files... not the current ones. Is there anything you can think of that would cause this issue?Basically, I'm having trouble with the deployment of the help files. They don't appear to be available in the deployment package. What can I do to confirm that they are present (and correct) in the deployment package?

I am trying to import Frame files into a Robohelp project. I have tried to imports each document separately, to import the book file, and even to import the pdf. Robohelp crashes every time. The program worked fine when I last used it 4 months ago, so now I am stuck!!Where do I start to troubleshoot? Our IT people do not know this program and cannot help.Thanks

Going back to my earlier post from today, I am still trying to figure out how to remedy my issue.Will it hurt if I delete the !SSL! folder? From what I can gather, the SSL folder updates every time you generate the layout to see the user guide in its online version.Will the !SSL! folder be recreated by RoboHelp?Thank you again,Michele

I am currently using RoboHelp 10 version 10.0.1.292I am trying to write the code and then input into Robo help for future editing. I am new to HTML and RoboHelp as well.The issue is when I add the code like so below it comes out with an added  <p> </p> in robohelp code and causes the Iframe to not work for one of the drop down menus. Is it possible to disable this feature adding this in or a way to get the Iframe to still work?

Hi,I have downloaded and install Robohelp server 9, configured it with tomcat 7 as mentioned in this video tutorial http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/files/2012/11/Install-Configure-Publish-on-RoboHelpServer9.mp4But while try to sign in RoboHelp Server Web Administration I am getting the following error.I ll be really thankful if someone can help me to fix it.

Hi.I am updating a user guide that I did not create. My procedure once I have completed my updates is to go under My RoboHelp Projects in Windows Explorer, find the project name then open it's folder. I zip the !SSL! folder and post it to a common site for developers to grab the files.I am having an issue with not being able to zip the folder due to a long path name. I have completely deleted the old Folders and Topics and reentered them all, using shorter path names.When I try to zip the !SSL! folder after my changes, it still displays an error stating it cannot zip the folder due to the path name being too long.However...the path name displayed in the error message is with the previously deleted folders/topics.When I go into Windows Explorer and look at the folders which are shown, I still see old information, which I deleted within RoboHelp.Am I able to delete old items when in Windows Explorer? I thought it all had to be done within RoboHelp. I do not want to risk corrupting my use

What am I doing wrong, or what settings should be set in order to get the WebHelp index.htm to generate correctly.

Working in RoboHelp 8, I have a number of pictures of buttons within paragraphs. In this case, I have this combination in a custom-sized pop-up. I am having a hard time keeping the close or open parentheses on the same line as the picture.This is a picture of the text as written.This is a picture of the text as it is viewed (eyeglasses).This is the html:At the bottom of the Tree view are <span style="font-weight: bold;">Expand All</span> (<img src="Expand all button.jpg" alt="" style="border: none;" width="70"    height="21" border="0" />) and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Collapse All</span> (<img src="Collapse All button.jpg" alt="" style="border: none;"       width="75" height="21" border="0" />) buttons.I've been fiddling with the custom size to make it stay together - but am wondering if there is anything I can do when writing to make sure the parentheses stays with the picture within.Thanks so much.

I would like to publish one version but enable a way to link directing to specific content while keeping the TOC static.

RoboHelp 11, WebHelp.When I open the WebHelp project, the URL displays the start page for the Touchstone Help project: ..../Documentation/Touchstone/Content/Content.htm.As I go to different pages in the Help, the URL never changes.Our client consulting personnel often like to copy a URL to send to a client who has a question about a particular topic.Is there a WebHelp setting that supports display of the current URL?Thank you.Carol LevineAIR Worldwide
