External links using mini TOC

Report · Aug 28, 2022

Hi

Is it possible to copy the links from the mini TOC and use them to link to a place in a topic?

For example:

http://showmethedemo.com/Compass_Travel/human_resources/attendance.htm
In the mini TOC right click 'Unauthorized Absence'
Select 'Copy link address;
Paste the URL into a browser
Browser takes you to the 'Unauthorized Absence' section of the topic rather than saying it's forbidden

Cheers

If you add the name of the topic between the / and # then the link should work. (Which obviously is fine for you, but not for anyone else using the help.)

I think the mini toc is generated by javascript at runtime, so perhaps it would be possible to adjust the javascript to include the file name in the code. But it might have to be done on the output file and replaced every time you generate.

You could also contact Support to see if there's anything they can suggest. The email address is recommended as it reaches a dedicated Robohelp team. https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/enterprise-support.other.html#robohelp
