RoboHelp

Our product consists of multiple modules, say, modules-1 thru’ module-8.  We may sell all 8 modules or some of them – in different combinations to different customers. I’ve been developing the online help along the same lines, viz., in modules, help-1 thru’ help-8. Each help module has its own TOC.  Depending on the requirement for a particular customer, I would integrate the requisite modules, build the main TOC using the existing mini-TOCs for each help, build the browse sequence and compile. This has been my routine till now.Now the Product Development team wishes to automate this process: for instance, they want me to provide the help output for the 8 help modules in integrated form, along with separate TOCs for different combination of modules for different customers, like, help modules 1-to-8, 1-2-3, 1-5-6, etc.  They feel the moment this TOC is dropped into the help output, it should automagically start functioning - without compiling! I explained the process used

Hi,I need to invoke the Robohelp Server from my application using the Topic Id. Is there a way to do it?Thanks,sdesab.

Any issues with generating help at command prompt (version 8 OR version 11, if we upgrade)? seamless and glitch-free?? also, is it possible to get a discount to build help only at command line, without all bells and whistles?

When using the index feature, can I set it so that a user clicking on an indexed word goes to the place in the page where the word is located? Right now it only takes me to the page and then I have to hunt for the word.Thanks!

Everywhere I search this there are tutorials for creating a progress bar of the loading of the game. I'm interested in creating a progress bar within game, so if an answer is answered correctly the bar increases, if it's wrong it decreases. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this is really simple and I'm not seeing it then sorry in advance!

I have a project on my C: which worked just fine after I converted it from RH9 to RH10. Something must have happened, because now it appears hosed. All of the topics are in the Broken Links folder, a few with red Xs, most without. Right-clicking and selecting Restore is either not available, or does nothing. The Project Files folder is totally void of content. It doesn't even have folder structure. If I use File > Import, I can bring in topics, and they appear in the Project Files folder, but with red Xs on them.Looking at the project from Windows Explorer, all seems to be well. All the files are in all the correct folders. Opening !SSL!\WebHelp\index.htm shows the published project exactly as it should appear.I'm worried that I'll overwrite something or create more headaches if, from the Project Manager pod, I recreate the folder structure and then import the topics back into them.Other projects open fine, even after converting them. Am I in for a tedious and laborious day? Am I

I am having a problem displaying TOC, Index, Search, and Glosarry when I generate Help using RoboHelp 9 and Internet Explorer 11. When I made FireFox my default browser, the problems went away but my company need to ship Help that can be used with any browser. Does RoboHelp 11 fix the problem?

Hi, this is the first time I'm using this community, so please forgive me if i'm not clear enough in describing my problem.I'm working with  a large project, where I've imported other projects into (as chm files)I would like to do some linking to the imported files, but the result is not impressing !!I've tried to do it in several ways.When I use the - button I can't find any URL link leading to my project. Then I tried using drag&drop from the Project Manager, and a link appeared. When i click it inside RH it seems to work, but when I've made the Microsoft HTML Help file it doesn't work any longer ??Someone please tell me what goes wrong? Thanks in advance

RoboHelp HTMSVersion 8Several years ago, Peter Grainge recommended an alternative to the Search function called ZoomSearch. Unfortunately, we weren't able to use this product because of problems with out platform and our client's platform.Our users are still having a very hard time finding what they need using the RoboHelp Search function. I've tried using synonyms and custom search terms, but this only helps slightly.I'm wondering if there has been any program, other than ZoomSearch, that could be recommended. Or - would a newer version provide better functionality with the Search.Thanks so much.

Hi All,A Webhelp Pro project is deployed to the Robohelp Server.I would like to know. invoking the Robohelp server for contextive sensitive help using Topic Id or Map Id.The reason being, the Robohelp is being created for an already existing application for which internal Page Indentifers exists. These page identifiers are used as Map Id/Topic Id in Robohelp. So it would be easy to invoke a CSH with Mapid.Thanks,sdesab.

Hi,Using RH10HTML I created a project with two TOCs.  Both have different topics and was wondering if there is a way to have the WebHelp search only search a selected TOC as opposed to searching both?Thanks

RoboHelp 9 WebHelp - can you control the background color in a pop-up topic link?

If it does, how does it do it? and if not, then what are folks using to track and share all their HTM files that are created in RoboHTML and used on the RoboHelp Server?

I'm trying to understand how this update resolves the cross-site scripting issue.  We had our Help Desk apply the update to our RoboHelp 8.0.2.208 version, built the xpj, and found the suspicious code still exists.

Hello everyone,I have currently installed Robohelp 9 and Robosource Control 3.1 to a new desktop.  I have accessed robosource 3.1 to my desktop and logged in successfully. I can see all the files that are in robosource control 3.1. When I open up robohelp 9 I want to be able to view my files that are in robosource control 3.1. Does anyone know how I can link both of them up together? I want to be able to checkin and checkout files through robohelp 9 if I need to make changes to them. Thanks. J

After working fine for months, I can no longer "View With" Google Chrome after generating WebHelp. Help will not load. I can only "View With" Internet Explorer. What happened?

Is it possible to have the navigation of breadcrumbs (when clicked) go to the correct location in the TOC?At the moment it is navigating to the first Topic in that TOC level.For example: (using the image below) if I click say Student Records breadcrumb, it is taking me to the first topic in the Student Records structureI want it to go to the TOC instead FOR that Student Records level (below)

RH10 | WebHelpDoes anyone know if it's possible to render CSS3 in the standard WebHelp output, not the Multiscreen output? For example, I use the following CSS to create a button with round corners, but when viewed in IE the round corners don't display. However, in Firefox they display fine..btn-primary-action { background-color: #eeaf00;  -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 6px;  -moz-border-radius-topleft: 6px; border-top-left-radius: 6px;  -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 6px;  -moz-border-radius-topright: 6px; border-top-right-radius: 6px;  -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 6px;  -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 6px; border-bottom-right-radius: 6px;  -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;  -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 6px; border-bottom-left-radius: 6px; text-indent: 0px; display: inline-block; color: #ffffff; font-size: 16px; height: 47px; line-height: 47px; width: 193px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; margin:20px 6px 0 0; }Thank

Hello all,Does anyone here generate Javahelp 1.1.3? I'm quite familiar with creating Webhelp and epub using Robohelp. However, we have some javahelp projects i need to upgrade and the style mapping just seems random when displayed in the Javahelp viewer (ie, mix of serif and sans serif fonts, even though my CSS has only sans serif fonts, fonts really tiny, etc).Webworks created Javahelp beautifully but it would be good to use one product for our conversions.Any tips on how to get my stylesheet to work for producing Javahelp?Thanks.

Why is Link > Framemaker Document greyed out in RoboHelp? I am using RH 10 with FM 10 files on CS 3.5; is that why? Do I need to upgrade to TCS 4?

Hello,I was happily working in RoboHelp 10 earlier today but when I had to log out and log in again, all topics from the HTML Files folder in Project Manager were gone, and the folder has a question mark on top of it.My manager is also experiencing the same problem. We have both rebooted our machines and have logged in and out of RH several times but to no avail.The topics are still in Windows Explorer though.It feels like there is a problem with the .cpd file but we don't know what it is. Or maybe something simpler of which we are unaware.Can anyone help please?Thanks.

The TOC in my generated project (Multiscreen HTML5/Andriod (Desktop) layout) is not opening to the correct sub folders.For example, when selecting a Level 1 folder (say the one highlighted in orange), it will jump to a Level 3 list of topics in a completely different level 1 structure (say the list highlighted in green)Level 1       Level 2              Level 3              Level 3              Level 3       Level 2              Level 3              Level 3              Level 3Level 1       Level 2  &nbsp

Hi I am not sure if this query comes under FrameMaker forum or RoboHelp, but since I did not see RH Integration category in FrameMaker forums, I am posting it here. Moderators, please move it to the right forum or let me know if I have to delete it from here and post it elsewhere.If I wanted to publish a WebHelp output from FrameMaker 11, I had an option of selecting my settings.ISF file, which had all my FM-RH styles mapped, and publishing it. But now, in FM 12, I don't see it. I have to select the CSS file and re-do the mapping all over again. Am I missing something here? How can I feed the ISF or mapped doc to FM so that I don't have to do the mapping everytime I publish the Webhelp output from FM12?Thank in advance.Sreekanth
