Editing breadcrumbs- how?

Hi,

I am very new to WebHelp and am experiencing a strange problem- the name of my topic is showing up as the old name of the topic. I have changed the topic name in the topic (and changed it in the Table of Contents, and changed the file name), but it is still showing up as the old name in the Breadcrumbs. Does anyone know how to change this?

This topic has been closed for replies.
Correct answer Captiv8r

I have tried generating the output to a different location and that does not work either


Hi there

Sorry, but what you listed in the supplied screen capture had the Windows Title Bar circled as one of the elements. So it was natural to assume that was something you were comparing to.

Typically the breadcrumbs follow the naming of the element in the TOC. So if you have a topic named Boffo in both Topic Title and Topic File Name but list it in the TOC as "Buffy", the Breadcrumbs will list Buffy not Boffo.

Cheers... Rick

I'm not sure why my screenshot didn't show up in the last message...... I will try again.

Try generating the output to a new folder.

Use the camera icon so the image appears in the post.

Hi there

What your screen shot depicts is the Project Name. The Project Name is a separate animal from any topic name.

Consider your WebHelp output to be similar to a book. Your overall book as a name. That's your Project Name.

Inside the book are many chapters. Those may correspond to your different topics.

You probably need to click File > Project Settings and change the name of your project to be what you want it to be.

One further note here. WebHelp is presented using a Frameset. The title bar of WebHelp doesn't reflect the topic you are in. It lists the Frameset title. And that's what you set in the area I pointed you to.

Cheers... Rick
