Since upgrading to CFB 3, I am unable to view "ColdFusion Documentation" (Help). How do I restore this functionality?

In CFB3 we have moved the Documentation online. So to access it make sure you are connected to Internet.
P.S: The code assist help(pressing F1 on any tag/function) is still available offline.

I have internet connectivity, but am still unable to access the help files. Is there a location in the setup which requires a URL for the help site, perhaps?

I have the same problem. I am bitterly regretting upgrading to v. 3 at this time.

I have the same problem, mine was a new installation. I installed CF11 developer then CFBuilder on a mac running Mavericks.
This is the first time I've been able to manage the CF server and go directly to the administrator using Builder.
The help system is not good. ALL documentation for Coldfusion is the same: Topic not found. Here is an example.
Searching help never gives me any CFML help. I have to go on the web and look up anything Coldfusion. Really a bummer.

Can you check now. It should be working?

I did a check for updates, none found. I am still getting "Topic not found" on all Coldfusion documentation, Configuring, CFML Ref, Developing and Installing.

Bump. This is still not working. Anyone else have some thoughts?

Is this site monitored? Am I the only one with a mac that this is not working on? I have this on my iMac and on a Macbook Pro. Both have the same issue.
These were full installs without the CF11 install. I already had the developers edition of CF installed. The documentation is really important to me to review.

This is NOT a mac only problem. I have it installed on a windows 7 box and there is not CFML Reference links that work.
Does anybody test this stuff before you guys go live? If somebody decides to change how the help works, do they tell the developers that they need to make it work?
I just downloaded a couple of weeks ago too so unless you have something pretty recent, I have the most recent product.

I reported this to Adobe Builder support and received the following message on October 2.
I'll post back whenever I hear something new.

Hi All,
I tested this issue on MAC(standalone) and Windows machine(Standalone as well as plug-in) installation, i am getting this issue on only MAC machine but not on Windows.
It also looks, most of you are also getting this only on MAC..

You can try to use F1(Help) equivalent for your version of MAC operating machine, which may work for this feature..

I found a workaround.
Close Builder
Navigate to:
/Applications/ColdfusionBuilder3/plugins/com.adobe.coldfusion.help_3.0.0/toc.xml
Copy it to
tocOrig.xml
Edit:
/Applications/ColdfusionBuilder3/plugins/com.adobe.coldfusion.help_3.0.0/toc.xml
<topic label="Configuring and Administering ColdFusion" href="docs/Configuring+and+Administering+ColdFusion.html"/>
<topic label="CFML Reference" href="docs/Adobe+ColdFusion+CFML+Reference.html"/>
<topic label="Developing Applications with ColdFusion" href="docs/Developing+Adobe+ColdFusion+Applications.html"/>
<topic label="Installing And Using ColdFusion" href="docs/Installing+Adobe+ColdFusion.html"/>
</toc>
Change to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><toc label="Adobe ColdFusion Documentation">
<topic label="Configuring and Administering ColdFusion" href="docs/Configuring_and_Administering_ColdFusion.html"/>
<topic label="CFML Reference" href="docs/Adobe_ColdFusion_Reference.html"/>
<topic label="Developing Applications with ColdFusion" href="docs/Developing_Adobe_ColdFusion_Applications.html"/>
<topic label="Installing And Using ColdFusion" href="docs/Installing_Adobe_ColdFusion.html"/>
</toc>
Next go to folder:
/Applications/ColdfusionBuilder3/plugins/com.adobe.coldfusion.help_3.0.0/docs
1. Copy
Adobe+Coldfusion+CFML_Reference.html
and rename the copy to
Adobe_Coldfusion_Reference.html
2. Copy Configuring+and+Administering+ColdFusion.html
and rename the copy to
Configuring_and_Administering_ColdFusion.html
3. Copy
Developing+Adobe+ColdFusion+Applications.html
and rename the copy to
Developing_Adobe_ColdFusion_Applications.html
4. Copy
Installing+Adobe+ColdFusion.html
and rename the copy to
Installing_Adobe_ColdFusion.html
e.g. I took the '+' out of the file name and inserted a '_'
NOTE: this worked for all but
Adobe+ColdFusion+CFML+Reference.html
It did not work with:
Adobe_ColdFusion_CFML_Reference.html
but renaming it to this worked:
Adobe_ColdFusion_Reference.html
I don't know why.
You must restart Builder for it to take effect.
