RH7 - Where do I find the URL?

[Guest]

I am publishing a new project using WebHelpPro. Everything published fine and it looks great. Now I need to find the URL so I can create my hyperlink to the project. Where can I find the URL?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

You would only use WebHelpPro if you're using RoboHelp Server. The lead .htm page is usually your_project_name.htm inside the project_name\!SSL!\ folder where you created the help.

We do have a RoboHelp Server. Maybe I'm using the wrong name. I'm directing the link to the prject name.htm, not the lead page.htm. I'll try that. Thank you!

Just making sure - lots of people think that the "Pro" version must be better ;>)

I've been trying everything and this is still not creating a URL that works. Does this look remotely corre

ct?

First, are you generating the WebHelpPro files to a local directory or to some web server? The launch point in either case would be:

\wherever you're going to be putting the WebHelpPro files\project_name.htm

So to test it locally, it would be in a path like: c:\projects\project_name\!SSL!\WebHelpPro\project_name.htm

If you told it in your SSL properties to publish it to your webserver, it would look something like this:

http://www.server_name.org/help/WebHelpPro/project_name.htm

We've seen this confusion before. A RoboHelp Server could mean any server dedicated to hosting the WebHelp output. RoboHelp Server is a piece of software that gets installed on a server, not the same thing.

Just wanted to clarify that in case there is a misunderstanding.
