Index display is strange after upgrading xpj to rhjp.

[猛5FE9]

I updated xpj to rhpj. In the old xpj, Index was created without any problem, but in updated rhpj, most Indexes are displayed as having no link.

The RH currently in use is 2020.

It's a hassle to fix thousands of pages by hand, so if you know an easy relinking method, please let me know.

Hmm, that's the table of contents, and the red crosses generally indicate the files don't exist in the project. Do your topics show correctly in the Contents panel?

If you have a backup of your project I'd recommend making sure you have all the patches installed and try upgrading again.

Check you have the latest patch using Help > About Robohelp.

If Help > About Robohelp shows 2020.0, then you will need to download the latest patch manually, as there was a bug which prevented the updater working in that version.

If that doesn't help and you still have Robohelp Classic if might be worth checking some things there before trying to upgrade.  If you need to try this, let us know, and include what version of Classic you are upgrading from.

Dear Amber-san,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I'd like to referrer your comment.

Do your topics show correctly in the Contents panel?

--->No. Most of them are missing. I don’t know why that wrong has been caused.

--->I already use 2020.5.71. (It shows in help-> About RoboHelp) So, I suppose I use the latest version.

---> The version of Classic that I used until last year is RoboHelp 10.0.1.292.

Please let me know if there is any way to check.

It is quite inconvenient if that updated rhjp cannot be used as it is (or with some editing).

How did you upgrade from your previous version? You said I updated xpj to rhpj rather than you upgraded. Did you open 2020 and use the Upgrade Project link?

You said you used RH10 until last year. Does that mean you have been working on the project using RH2020 all year, and the table of contents just broke? 

[猛5FE9]

Amber-san,

Thanks a lot.

I will explain it in chronological order.

Until last year, I used RH10 on an old PC (Call it PC-A).

In RH10 it was possible to create with *.prj.

(For example, let's call this RH_10.xpj)

But This year, the PC-A was also aging, so I have to have new PC-B.

And I thought about upgrading to RH2020 there.

However, I tried to upgrade RH_10.xpj to rhpj on RH2020, but it didn't work.

That's my secnario.

Please tell me if there is a lack of explanation.

Regards,

[Peter Grainge]

It's very late where Amber is.

You have repeated I tried to upgrade RH_10.xpj to rhpj on RH2020, but it didn't work.

What you haven't answered is how as I asked earlier. You needed to copy the whole project from you old machine to your new machine, then open 2020 and use the Upgrade Project link. Is that what you did?

Let me quote a part.

--->I'm very sorry. It seemed not to I don't answer what you want.

You needed to copy the whole project from you old machine to your new machine, then open 2020 and use the Upgrade Project link.
Is that what you did?
--->Yes. I did. I copied whole project folder from old machine(RH10 installed) to new machine (RH2020 installed). But it didn't work

Another person has a problem upgrading from RH9. 

Vivek has commented they need to upgrade to RH2019 Classic first, then upgrade 2019 Classic to RH2020:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/robohelp/project-upgraded-from-rh9-to-rh2020-missing-all-topics/td-p/...

You can download  2019 Update 14 from here:

https://www.adobe.com/support/robohelp/downloads.html

The installation includes 2 versions of Robohelp 2019, so make sure you open "Adobe Robohelp Classic 2019".

Also, as always, make sure you have a zip file backup of your project, just in case something goes wrong.
