RoboHelp

My company will be moving to SharePoint Online.  I was testing to see how I can get RoboHelp files onto the online site I have. I can copy the files from my hard drive and place the on the SharePoint site but when I try open the index file the guide does not dissplay properly.  In working with IT, they mentioned an article they found titled "Publish to SharePoint Online and Other Publishign Enhancements". In the article it states that you can publish Responstive HTML5 output to SharePoint Online in the native ASPX format. I cannot figure out how to publsh in the native ASPX format.  I must be able to publish to SharePoint Online or I will no longer be able to use RoboHelp. Thank you,Michele

We have successfully used Context Sensitive Help with the Classic version for many years. We recently started the conversion to 2020. Lacking a Classic 2020 option we selected Responsive HTML5. Under the Classic version our web pages had anchors with this:RH_ShowHelp(0, helpUrl + '>CSH', HH_HELP_CONTEXT, helpMapId);Where helpUrl and helpMapId were defined on every page as:<script language="JavaScript"> var helpMapId = '160000'; var helpUrl = '/help/index.htm'; </script>Everything has worked fine since 2015. We ran the Adobe provided mapping conversion, but it only converted about 50% of our topics but we were eventually able to get all 2200 mappings into 2020. Based on the sheer number of pages we wanted to retain the helpMapId concept from the Classic version. It appears as though the new name is helpMapNo and helpMapId is now a character string similar to what one would think of as a key in a key\value pair, but other than the name change, helpMa

I can embed images and vidoes.  Can I embed a spreadsheet?  I suspect not because I do not see an option for it, but I was wondering if there might be a way through a link in an IFRAME.

How does one configure or hide these FEATURES ABOUT FEEDBACK options in the Topic Page of the skin? They are set for a mid-topic jump labeled "nogo".  Is there any documentation anywhere on working with these? Thanks!

How do you transfer your photos to the Adobe app to begin editing?   

Hello,I’m using Robohelp 2020.6.76. I’ve imported a PDF into the contents panel (using Import > file) and linked to it from a topic. After generating Responsive HTML5 output, in the preview, the PDF opens as a PDF (as expected).However, after I upload the generated project to our server and click the link to the PDF from the help topic, I get an error message stating the resource has been removed or is temporarily unavailable.Other PDFs that exist in the same folder in the contents panel and are also linked in topics work just fine when viewed from the server. (These PDFs were all added in RH 2019 before the project was upgraded: don’t know if that’s significant.)I tried importing the PDF as a baggage file, adding it to the TOC and linking to the baggage file from the topic: that didn’t work either. Tried moving the PDF to a different folder: didn’t work. Tried linking the PDF to a different topic: that didn’t work.I imported a different (“dummy”) PDF and linked that one to a “dummy

I am using RoboHelp Version 2020.6.76I read in this page that few scripts are supplied with RoboHelp. But in the scripts panel there are no scripts. In post generation screen of output presets also there are no scripts. Could someone help me find these scripts or provide them. I am specifically looking for Variable Converter script. 

Hi all! I am using a rebranded "Orange" frameless skin. There is a search icon that appears in the top-right corner of the output:When clicked, the icon "toggles" to the Search box (icon disappears and Search box becomes focus in the middle of the header): What I want to do is set the default value of this "toggle" to "search-selected" so that the Search box above appears on the page upon load, instead of the search icon. I am familiar with the div classes for each element and in digging around, suspect this may need a script or LayoutDiff.css edit...but I just can't nail down where (or how) I can specify this. On the front-end skin editor, I've tried changing various Display options on the search-icon and search-selected elements, but again coming up empty. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Team, I'am facing an issue here, after generating projet on RH 2020, i tried to publish it to my RH Server 11 but no chance !  I have this message on my RH11 server after the publication : No default project has been definedCommunication between client and server is OK, Do i have to do something on the apache tomcat ?  I spent 2hours yeterday with adobe support but no chance to fix it. In the publication logs i have this : -----------------------------------------initializing publishing to rhs11ProfileRequesting metadata from server...Response status:200Setting publisher...Response status:200checking for rhlog.txt ...Response status:404Uploading //corp.mycompany.ca/users/myuser/My RoboHelp Projects/outputs/TestRH11S/Responsive HTML5/assets/cssSuccessfully uploaded //corp.mycompany.ca/users/myuser/My RoboHelp Projects/outputs/TestRH11S/Responsive HTML5/assets/csschecking for rhlog.txt ...---Uploading //corp.mycompany.ca/users/myuser/My RoboHelp

I have made a .js file with code to sort a table column (copied from w3schools).The code resides in my project's contents\assets\scripts\webhelp_scripts.jsThe topic that contains the table to be sorted has the line <script src="../../../assets/scripts/webhelp_scripts.js"></script> If I preview the topic in Chrome, the script works just fine.However, if I compile the project, the js file is not copied to the \assets\scripts folder, so the sorting does not work. If I copy the .js file to the output manually, the sorting works again. Do js files need to be in a specific location to be copied to the output?

After upgrading to RH 2020.7 I'm unable to apply div styles. Say you have a class looking like this:div.my-style { font-size: 28px; }The style is visible in the style list but is not applied when picking it in the text editor. If I change the class to a span it works...span.my-style { font-size: 28px; } I had no issues with this prior the update.

Hi Everyone,I am working on a project using a default skin and the usual components on the homepage. The question I have is regarding the Search bar on the main homepage.When I hover over the search bar (at the middle) I cannot click in the search bar, and subsequently nothing happens. It has to be at a specific place on the search bar (above the middle) for it to allow me to search.That being said, when I move my mouse cursor upwards towards the top half of the search bar (above the middle mark), then I can click within it and subsequently search fine.This is a slightly weird experience, I have already tried altering the container, inner and outer search box and text field information.I would like to have this search box in such a way, that wherever I click inside of the search box, I am able to begin searching.Please can I have some assistance in this regard? Any suggestions will be welcomed. The version of Robohelp I am using is: Version 2020.6.76The skin is a Frameless skin ca

Hi,We are currently using RH 2019, soon 2020 quite extensively and would like to move to "context sensitive help" mode.  I am rather new to this and I see that there are 2 ways to implement this feature, either with MAP Id's or direct URL from the UI to the topics. Am I correct?  If so, what are the advantages of using MAP Id's versus direct URL?  Are MAP Id's really necessary? Isn't it easier to use URL directly? Thank you

Hello,I am using RH 2020.6.76 and trying to use the Frameless output type. My project has a little less than 3000 topics.After I generate the Frameless output and putting it on our webserver, the Search has a drastically decreased response time the first time I search. Sometimes it is 10 seconds, sometimes more where the screen shows no response at all. Users complain because they think search is broken since the screen does not indicate that it is doing anything.I did some tracking and it appears that this time is largely spent downloading search_db.js, which is approximately 26 MB. The search speed does improve once the file is stored locally.My questions are as follows:How can I speed up this response time?Does the recently released 7 patch fix this?What is the search_db.js.gz do? It is currently excluded from our builds since Git does not allow us to check in binary files over 5 MB.Thanks.Tim

Hi,I am working with RH11, and I transferred some projects from some obsolete Windows 7 machine onto Windows10 machines. Everything worked fine except when after I generate the online HTML5 layer, when I choose to view what I got, and I try to search for something, a weird window (see screenshot attached) is displayed instead of taking me to the places where the search sting is encountered.Did I do anything wrong during the transfer? I simply copied the directories where the projects were from one machine to the other, and I made sure that the drive letters are identical.Thank you 

I am updating a project from xpj to rhpj on robohelp 2020.7.46, to produce the word doc. but the progress pop window is running continuously and it is not generating any output. it's showing:  

I used to have clean reports on the broken links.  Now, I am seeing some issues with the Coffee skin and custom-toc-images.  I don't use the Coffee skin; I toyed with it once then abandoned it.  My new output preset was created after I decided against using Coffee. I cannot find any reference to it within any of my files.  I don't know why the output reports broken links to custom-toc-images.  I'm obviously not looking in the right places.  How do I clear up these broken links?  

Hi team, I'am facing strange issue here with RH Server 11 ! I created some user accounts through RH server web admin portal, but i can't see them in the related SQL Database, and I can't even manage/edit them on the webadmin RHS11 portal !  - Test connection between RHS 11 and SQL express DB is ok  Any one has an idea about the issue ? 

I upgraded a small project from Robohelp 2019 (Classic) to Robohelp 2020.6.76 (modern), and it's developed a duplicate set of breadcrumbs and a graphic that shouldn't be there. Any thoughts on how to remove the breadcrumbs and graphic? Thanks!
