RoboHelp

Hello.  I am demoing out RoboHelp for an API documentation project I am working on.  One of the key features needed is to be able to hover the mouse pointer over a word (e.g., an endpoint) and pop up the relevant short article (e.g., valid values, required, etc.).  From what I am reading, this is do-able with the latest release of RoboHelp, but material I am finding on Adobe's site does not match up with this release. Is this possible?  How do I access it and best practices?  Thank you. 🙂 

Using RH 2020.8.34, our security team found the \sourcefile\template\scripts\csh-trigger.min.js file to be a high security risk file. Has anyone had an issue with this file and/or had a solution to address the issue? Thank you so much for any insight.

HelloI have generated a CM file from the 2019 Classic Robohelp and I get the below error. Has anyone come across this at all?  Many ThanksBally 

My master page, "main.htt," has a footer with a centre-aligned image. But when I apply this layout to the topics, the footer image is not reflected in this topic. Furthermore,  I am unable to figure out a way to apply a master page to multiple topics with a single click.

I have defined a browse sequence and can include it in my html5 outputs as expected.  However, I do not have the option for including it in my chm outputs.  I have upgraded (from 2020.6) to 2020.8 and still have the issue.  I have also checked my Windows Settings to confirm that the browse sequence checkbox is selected.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.  

Running RH 2020.7, Windows I would like to add a custom Topic Page Button to the top nav frameless skin that will use the following Javascript to close the help: window.open('',' self').close() I can insert that bit of javascript, tied to an image, directly in the body of topics that achieves the desired end result - I click it and the entire help (web browser tab) closes. However, I've tried every config iteration I can think of for the OnClick field/param and I can't get the corresponding topic page button to close the help.    Thoughts? 

Since the last 2020 update, when TOC structure Use topic heading styles is selected, the TOC of generated pdf output is empty.Can anyone reproduce this as well?Is there a workaround?See attachments with examples.Interesting observation: The RoboHelp sample project "About RoboHelp" does generate the pdf output with TOC structure Use topic heading styles correctly with populated TOC.Reproduce steps:Open RoboHelp and create a new project.Create a few topics with different headings.Add them to the default TOC.Create a book TOC.Add TOC page to front matter.Link to default TOC.Open PDF output preset:In Content, set Table of Content to book TOC.In Layout, set TOC Structure to Use topic heading styles. Set Upto Heading to 2 or more.8. Generate output and open pdf document.Result: TOC is empty.9. Open PDF output preset:In Layout, set TOC structure to Chapter names and topic titles.10. Generate output and open pdf document.Result: TOC is populated.

While upgrading from RH 2017 to the leatest version of RH 2022, we are getting warning files failed upgrading. Also, fpj file is miisng in the upgraded folder. Attached is the image for the same. Could you please provide help for the same?

Hi everyone,I have RH 2020.7.46 and when I tried to generate word Output I receive the attached message "Failed to generate word" I tried to use, in the Style mapping, for Character, paragraph and tables both "use Robohelp style" option and "use word default" but both options didn't work.Can you help me to solve this problem?Thanks in advance!

Hi all, Just installed the new RH 2020. Since, it's ran sluggishly - and when generating a PDF, it says ''Java not found' in the log. Is my system's Java out of date? Thanks.

Am I missing something? I've been having real issues with my project and none of the online help seems to work. They're talking about things that I'm not seeing. Like they were talking about how to edit a master page and the showed this icon about where to find master pages. I don't have that icon. I am using Rh 2022 and these are the meni items I have:do I have everything I'm supposed to have, and if so, how do I find the master page to edit, because believe me, I've looked everywhere?

When I hover over images in our online help, sometimes a double-sided diagonal arrow will appear as shown in the bottom left of this image: However, when I hover over other images in our online help, a hand with a pointer finger will appear. I would like for a hand with the pointer finger to appear for images that include a hyperlink. How can I do this? P.S. I apologize for the poor image quality. I had to take a picture of my screen instead of a screenshot because the arrow/hand were not showing via screenshot.

Hi,Where is the option in Preset to change the scroll bar color in the Dark Skin in Frameless preset of RH 2020?  

For a number of months we have gotten a Runtime Error message when Publishing. We use the Responsive HTLM5. We publish to a newtwork folder initially and later tranfer the published files to our web server. We have a very large project with over 2000 topics. The Generate process works ok. The error message occurs when RoboHelp gets to the WhxData folder. I have noticed that the number of files in the WhxData folder is increasing.We have tried:deleting  .cpd file.Re-installing RoboHelp We have developed a workaround but it is not always successful:Reboot laptopCheck to see if the $variable$ and/or  __cpSwf2HTML5ZipMap files are showing up in the root folder BEFORE opening the project. If it’s there BEFORE you open the project, DELETE the files first and then open the project.Once you start publishing, monitor the root folder. The $variable$ and/or  __cpSwf2HTML5ZipMap files might get generated. I found out that the $variable$ file doesn’t cause any issue us

I added a child project in the MAin TOC and published Microsoft HTML help but the added child project is not visible in the output.

In Robohelp 2020, I have used the dark skin with skin homepage. I am adding a pdf for the Reader to down the complete guide in pdf. I can see that the pdf download button is added to the Topic Page. Is it possible to move it to the guide's homepage? Attaching images for more understanding. Why I am asking this because I am giving the entire pdf to be downloaded, not only one topic. So ideally putting it on the homepage will be more logical.

I recently edited a project in RoboHelp 2022, and I am completely confused. When I generate the chm file and look at the results, the formatting doesn't match my topics in many, if not most cases. I have a total of 10 topics separated under two sections. The topics under the first section look fine, but most of the ones in the second are all messed up. I am including a couple of  images of what I'm talking about. I can't figure it out because it looks perfect in the RoboHelp topic view.chm view:RoboHelp Topic view of same topic areaI would appeciate any assistance.

While Uploading the output generated by the Robohelp 2019 Classic version to the SonarQube Application.

I'm using FrameMaker 2019 to generate online documentation, as responsive html5. Based on the Azure Blue template.I need to add a viewport row to the header of each generated htm file.<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> This is the desired htm result:I.e. I need to add row 6. Which Azure Blue template file do I need to edit?(I know this is the RoboHelp forum, but as I understand it the Azure Blue template is same.)

Hello, I could use some help... I have tried to bookmark to a site in chrome that has a drop down in it.  I want to link to the information in the drop down.  Here is a website that has a similar situation as an example.  W jacksonville Jacksonville, FL Warehouse | Costco I would like to the bookmark to open in this example, one of the warehouse service like Gas Stations.  So, when I click bookmark, I can see the gas station prices without another click.   I have tried the chrome extension.... link to fragment.  It won't open the gas station dropdown.  I appreciate any help!   Thank you! 

Hi. I'm using RH 2020.8.34 on Win10. I've just published our output for the first time since upgrading and I'm now getting two output generation warnings:Skipped copying external file "C:/1RoboHelp/OutputPaths/publish/browsesequence/InformaCast_Fusion.brs"Error occurred while parsing inline style :1:1: Unknown word: "Bullet" For the first issue, the file path RH is citing does not exist. I did a search for "InformaCast_Fusion.brs" in both Contents and Find and Replace (with Source View on) and I got no results. I do have a browse sequence named InformaCast_Fusion.brs, but I've not done anything substantial with it lately. It is included in the project I'm generating and it seems to have published just fine. I read the responses to this earlier discussion, but the fixes don't seem to apply to me. I'm not using hyperlinks or images in my variables and this is not a child project. I'm just not sure why I'm getting this warning. For the second issue, I do have a charact

We generate the CHM on a montly basis and found that up to October, images were able to seen seen correctly in the generated CHM.However, all images cannot be seen in the November generation. These include images in topics that were not updated at all.Is there any reason for this to occur?

Steps provided in the Help File seems to be for Robohelp 2019, not the Classic version.In the Classic version, I am able to go to Collaborate > Add to Version Control, but I do not know what other steps are needed.I see RoboHelp SharePoint Connector but am not able to find additional information online. Results seem to lead back to Robohelp 2019.  

We are exploring moving to version 2019 from 2019 Classic but found the following issues:1. Unable to sort by Topic column - clicking on the header seems to sort half the list. I see it goes from A, B, C... then further down, A, B, C... again.2. Loading of the list - takes awhile to load the list and it is hard to see the full list as you have to continuously scroll to the end and get more items loaded. Changing the filters also means the list gets 're-loaded' so need to scroll down again.3. There is no search feature - It is not easy to locate topics when the sorting does not work properly and there is no way to search.  Do you guys encounter the same as well? 

In RoboHelp 2020, I was able to click "Autonumber" in the Heading Style and then I could edit each LEVEL as shown in this image (taken from https://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/using/css-autonumbering-robohelp.html)   Now, in RH2022, that "Level" option is missing!  Was this a mistake on Adobe's part?  Or am I missing something? This was an easy way to format a multi-level document, so I hope this gets fixed soon.
