Good afternoon,

 

I have set up my child project folders and parent project folder. When I start freash with nothing in any of the folders, ny child projects generate in their correct location. I can click the index and the page only displays the one project. 

 

After I generate the parent project and go back to the child project index, all the child projects appear in the output. Can you help be determine why I have to clear the folders and generate againg to only see one child project in the output after I generate the parent project?

To summerize:

  1. Generate both child projects.
    • index.htm 1 - child project 1
    • index.htm 2 - child project 2
  2. The respective index only show the corrosponding child
  3. Generate the parent project
  • Generate the parent project. Index 1,2, and the parent index show all the child projects.

If you are using a merged setup, this is the expected result. When the parent and children have all been generated into the correct folder locations, a consolidated table of contents for all projects included in the merge will be displayed.

Just to add a bit of background to what @Amebr has said.

 

In Classic versions of RoboHelp you the child project worked both within the merge and standalone. That has changed. Now when you generate a child project it works within the merge as @Amebr has explained but in the new UI versions it does not work standalone.

 

If for some reason you need it to also work standalone, create a duplicate preset and generate to somewhere outside mergedProjects. Note that if you do that you cannot then copy

Note that if you do that you cannot then copy that version into mergedProjects and expect the whole merge to work. Well you can expect it but you will be disappointed. 🙂
