Question

Content categories cause error

I just noticed the other day that using content categories causes an error in the output (see below). I verified this with a new test project with the same result. It is independent of the browser used.

All is fine if I manually open the start page in one of the subfolders in the Webhelp output. E.g., if the category is named "admin" then open the file "Admin.htm" in the subfolder "admin".

It looks like a script error to me, as if a variable was not resolved to set the correct file name for the start file. Any ideas? This in Win7 64bit.

Hi there

Where are you testing this? Are you testing by clicking the "View Result" button after you have generated? Or are you testing by clicking an HTM file that exists on a web server?

Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick, that makes no difference, the error always occures. However I publish the files locally, not onto a server. I remeber though that this worked before, a few months ago.

Hi Peter, the error also occurres with the demo projects, below the error message of the project "CCC". The % symbols are not part of the path, the RH script evidently puts them into the URL that is called.


I know the samples work OK on both 32 and 64 bit and Windows 7 and 8. You appear to have opened the sample that is in Program Files and you cannot fun it from there, that is a backup for the copy in your user profile.

To open the copy in your profile, click Open on the RoboHelp Starter page and then click Samples in the ribbon on the left.

First see if that works.
