Question

File Path contains the token "bc-"

We recently upgraded to the RoboHelp version 9 and are finding a critical problem within all generated html files. It seems RoboHelp is inserting a new script in every html file which we would like to either modify or remove. The snippet of this script is given below.

Our problem is that we have stored these files in a path that has this token “bc-“ - C:\projects\{705e5340-460b-11e1-b8bc-0800200c9a66}.

We need your help to either modify this token or remove this check from all project files.

SNIPPET:

========

if (window.gbWhTopic)
{
  var strUrl = document.location.href;
  var bc = 0;
  var n = strUrl.toLowerCase().indexOf("bc-");
  if(n != -1)
  {
  document.location.href = strUrl.substring(0, n);
  bc = strUrl.substring(n+3);
  }

    Egh?

    Token?

    What problem is being caused by the code? It is in all of my webhelp and is not causing any problems.

    Thanks for replying. Here is the aftermath of this script.

    if this is the directory of the html file -

    C:\projects\{705e5340-460b-11e1-b8bc-0800200c9a66}\foo.htm

    Then the "bc-" token check redirects browser to a new page -

    C:\projects\{705e5340-460b-11e1-b8 where there is nothing.

    I don't want any redirection based the fact that the directory name

    has a token "bc-". Obviously the script is breaking the complete path

    into two parts and returning the first part to the browser.

    I have never seen that script cause any problems by redirecting.

    Open one of the sample project and generate an output. I think you will find it works fine and that it has the same script.

    Sorry but I don't know enough about scripting to see how it is doing something different for you. Are you saying it is because the path contains the string bc?

    If it is, I don't understand why you have a path that contains 705e5340-460b-11e1-b8bc-0800200c9a66. Maybe if you explain that, it will help us help you. Bear in mind we are not developers.
