RoboHelp

Hi,When viewing a topic in preview mode the dropdown text feature is not working as expected.When I click the dropdown toggle element a new blank window is opened with the topics html as content? Feels like the javascript is missing or not running?Video of the issue here Using Robohelp 2020.6.76

I have recently started to edit a project, with which is an enterprise WebHelp site with approximately one thousand topics. When I went to "Save All" a Headers and Footers information box came up. With 2 choices, the default choice being the first...."This topic was created from a Master Page and the header or footer has been modified. What would you like to do: 1. Apply this modification to all topics created from the Master Pageor2. Apply this modification to this topic onlyNote: Choosing this option will remove the link to the Master Page"I presumed that the default selection would just save my work and compile webhelp.Unfortunately, the first choice applied the one heading to every topics page. Can I rollback the last compiled webhelp so that Headers go back ? 

So we have a single RoboHELP file from version 2019 that I need to generate and lightly maintain. In a flurry of activity, our IT department tossed our CD version of 2019, and so we have only one computer that has RoboHELP 2019 and we'd like to avoid a problem when/if it stops working. To that end, I upgraded the project to 2020, and all seemed well, except when I generate the file, I get the TOC on the left, and no content on the right. Selecting a topic in the TOC pulls up the content, but the TOC disappears with no way to get it back, save for the browser 'back' button. This is true for all browsers I tried, and I've tried a number of different build options. Does anyone have any idea what may have broken, or what I'm doing wrong? My thanks in advance for any of your knowledge.

RoboHelp 2017 Webhelp Hello!  I wasn't sure if I should post a new topic or reply to an older one.  I'm trying to expand all drop-downs following the information from this older post:https://community.adobe.com/t5/robohelp/expanding-collapsing-all-instances-of-drop-down-text-in-a-topic/m-p/6779830.  And having trouble. Alternately, I wouldn't need to do this if I could copy and paste all content with the drop-downs closed.  This isn't RoboHelp functionality, but maybe someone has a browser tip for me.  Basically, I used to be able to right-click a topic from the published Webhelp, select all, copy, and then paste (into Word, Notepad, etc).  The drop-downs didn't need to be open, but the content inside them was still copied and pasted. We had an upgrade to Internet Explorer, and this no longer works. It also doesn't work in Edge or Chrome. (In all three browsers, I now have to manually open each drop-down in order to include their content when I c

Good day, Hoping to find out what the most current version of RoboHelp 2019 Classic is. Currently on 14.0.14.002. Checking to see if there are any patches to install and where I can go to check for this information and links to patches if there are any.

Hi, Is it just me or does the add paragraph "thing" behave in a really starnge way. In this case I have a table at the bottom and I want to insert a new paragraph below the table, a video of the behavior found here https://www.screencast.com/t/5hLymZYcK. The markings shows up and then disapears making it flicker like crazy, if I'm lucky I'm able to "catch" it...Is there any other way of inserting a paragraph in this case that I'm unaware of?

Hello,I recently upgraded to RH v20 to take advantage of the PDF generation features that were not in v19. However, I am unable to generate a PDF from my html files. I've tried smaller and larger TOCs, using different settings in the output configuration, creating brand new output formats in case someone was corrupted, etc. I keep getting the same error in the log after it finishes merging the htm files:"Java not found." I already saw that this was an issue for others so I uninstalled the java I had and resinstalled it with x64 version (C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_261\bin) and I'm still getting the same error. I've got the latest versions of RH and Media Encoder and everything else I can from Creative Cloud installed and am at a loss about what I can do to fix this.  I don't know if it matters, but I can generate Word and Responsive HMTL 5 outputs fine.

Hi all,I used the new functionality 'static header', but my content is visible on the header area while scrolling down. Please check the screenshots. Is there a solution to resolve this?

Hi,I've been looking for a way of making small html templates/snippets so that the editors could insert these in the content as a boilerplate for certain type of content. This could of course be done by having a template content file with all the different boilerplates but it would be nice if this kind of templates could be stored in RH itself, just like snippets.I've seen an old post regarding editable snipptes, which would be the type of feature I'm looking for here. Would be a really nice feature. I saw that there has been a feature request on this but it doesn't look like it's active. Is this somehow possible in RH2020 or is there a feature request that I can upvote?Cheers! 

HiI made some edits to the layout.css and userstyles.css in the Output folder. After generating a Frameless output again, I noticed that all my changes disappeared. I just realized that once an output is generated the Output folder gets replaced with the new changes.Which are the files that I need to edit so that the changes remain even after generating multiple outputs. The edits were done to the Header, Toolbar, Toolbar box and left panel containers.

I'm trying to configure a new installation of Server 10 with SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition but I can't get past the RoboHelp Server Configuration Manager.I think I've created a correct database URLI think I've specified the correct JDBC driver classI'm using a database username and password that I created in SSMS, so I know it's correctI'm rather certain I've specified the correct path to the sqljdbc_4.1.jar fileAnd when I click "Test Connection," all I'm getting is "Connection failed."Calling the RoboHelp Server 10 docs on this subject "sparse" would be generous. Are there additional undocumented steps that I need to do first?Has anyone out there even gotten this to work?

Hi team, I'am currently trying to migrate our RH application from v9 to v10 ! We backed-up and restored our prod DB on a test environnement, we installed RH10 on a win2019 server and also SQL2014 on same server ! When trying to test the connection to the local database it's not working ! Always we get a Connection Failed error message ! What is surprising is that we got connection successful to the same sql express DB by using TestDatabase.udl application. We also followed the recommendation mentionned above on this discussion but no chance :  Database URL  ----- >      jdbc:sqlserver://localhostDatabase User Name ------>      <your username>Database Password           ------>      <your pwd>JDBC Driver Class           ------>  &nb

I think I set my image correctly at the image level "Use Thumbnail" checkbox. Also, in output, I clicked "Show Thumbnail for Images". However, the image doesn't appear when I clicked on the image in my HTML5 output. What am I doing wrong?

Is it possible to print a RoboHelp topic in Landscape format using Printed Documentation?

When I try to use the search site I get an error message in the debugger and the browser crashes. I am using the latest version of RH and the Chrome browser. Has anyone faced this problem? 

Dear RH2020 users, Does anyone have a way to change the looks of the user interface?Currently I'm testing RH2020, as we want to go over from RH2017 to 2020 rather soon. However, the looks of the user interface are a major hurdle in the acceptance of RH2020 in our team. Put simply: the interface is ugly, very, very ugly. It creates the mood of a funeral with its grey, greyer, darker grey or more dark grey themes.In order to lighten our moods, I would like to be able to use some colour on the screen. That would also improve the contrast, and by that productivity. Often I can't find text in menu's because I can't see the difference between the text and the background... like reading the text carved out on an old gravestone. As it is now, I don't like to work with RH2020, and already some collegues confirmed that.Does anyone have ways to improve/ customize the Robohelp2020 HMI with different fontcolours, background colours etc? I would like to create a new theme or something. Is this

Hi, (sorry for the abundance of information!)I am using RoboHelp10We create Microsoft HTML Help (CHM files)7 CHMs are linked in a master.chm fileUp to some years ago, the help worked file. Then the technical writer responsible for the help left and some features were not passed over completely to a replacement. Meanwhile I have taken over the project from the replacement and come across the following issues:I can add new pages to the help, which can be searched for by opening the masterI cannot add or fix links to CSH topics as the software is not able to find the files (The CSH ID is added to the software and the .h file of the individual chm files)How to solve this?I do not know if and how the individual .h files are autmatically added to the folder of the master projectI do not know if and how the individual .ali files are automatically updated once a new topic and CSH ID is addedI do not know if and how the master.ali file automatically updated with newly created topics in the indi

Hi Does anyone know how you customize this toolbar in the studio skin:  I only want favorites and share. For share, I only want to be able to share in an email, not to linked in, twitter or facebook.  Also for Filter, does this only work if you have dynamic filters configured? So if we dont have any dynamic filters, I should hide this too?If I cannot hide individual buttons, can I remove the toolbar completely? If so, how do I do this?

Hello, I am having a problem with Robohelp 19 where it is hanging on the splash screen. it shows 'initializing' then nothing else happens. Robohelp doesn't open no matter how long I leave it.    I have been using it with no issues for about 3 months and this has just started about 10 days ago.   I have unistalled and reinstalled a number of times. I have run the creative cloud cleaner before a reinstall and nothing has helped.    Has anyone else encountered this problem before?

Hi, for the PDF output, I am trying to duplicate in Robohelp 2020 the method I used in Classic via Word output to create mulilevel list numbering on the TOC sections and the topic titles. In the Word output, Classic had a TOC and heading levels problem as outlined by Peter Grainge here. I circumvented it by using H1 as the topic titles, and using my own custom subheadings within the topic, named MyH2 and MyH3. That way, when the 1600-page Word doc was generated, the sections and topic titles used the H1, H2, H3, etc. down to H6, and my custom subheadings within the topics were unchanged. I then applied a massive VBA script in Word that automatically formatted everything, including assinging multilevel numbering to the headings. Worked fabulously for many years. I was excited to see Robohelp has a much improved PDF output. However, according to Peter's explanation of the new TOC, it appears that the ability to apply multilevel numbering on TOC sections and topic titles ha

When you go to a direct page link on a doc created using the "Responsive" output, you are shown a full page document with a message at the top saying "Click here to see this page in full context". Personally, I have NO issue with this, but my employer hates it and wants links to open in full context with the ToC on the left as normal. So, is there any way to disable this behaviour and have links always open in full context eith the ToC? Even if it means manually editing source files? I've been looking around and only seem to find topics related to older versions, some of which reference an option to disable this, but that option no longer seems to exist. 😞 

I am noticing past few weeks the frameless output generated with rh 2020 update 6 is kind of slow when loading and navigating through, in general. The page load takes time for some reason. It was faster earlier. we don't have any heavy images that take a while to load. It works slow even on a local machine output before moving it to the help server.Anyone noticing this? Any idea how to resolve this issues? 

Hello, I am new to robohelp and seeking help to clarify the robohelp system requirements. It is not very clear in the robohelp documentation if Tomcat is a mandatory requirement for robohelp to function. Can I use robohelp server with only IIS without Tomcat?Thanks muchAlan
