RH8 - Publishing Merged Projects with AIR Browserbased Help

Hello,

i have one master project with 5 subprojects. When i make an Output with Adobe Air "Browserbased Help" is the preview ok, all tables of Content from all projects are included.

When i publish it to our webserver i first got a grey screen with an loading error.

I discovered that the link in the start site  to the included file ac_oetags.js is incorrect because of upper and lower case writing. When i change the link, the site appeared correctly - but unfortunately only with the table of content of the main project.

Is it possible to merge Projects with Browserbased Help?

Has anybody an idea what went wrong?

Thanks for your support!

Steffan

    Yes you can merge browser based air help. It is done in the same way as merged webhelp which is covered on my site. You don't say if you are familiar with merging webhelp and it is just air help that is new.

    Hello Peter,

    thanks for your repley!

    Webhelp

    Before i tried the output with AIR browserbased help i had always the output with webhelp. I had no problems there with merging my projects. All tables of content were shown there.

    I have no idea why this not work in AIR browserbased help. In the preview all looks fine, but after publishing to the webserver is unfortunately only the one of the masterproject left.

    I have to publish the subprojects in the folder .../!SSL!/Adobe_Air/BrowserBasedHelp/mergedProjects/Name_of_subproject! After i have published all subprojects on my local drive i publish the master project to the webserver! I do the same as by output normal webhelp!

    Can you help me?

    Thanks!

    Sorry but I am not following you. When you generate the help you specify a folder for the generated output and a folder on the server for published output. If you look using Windows Explorer, are you seeing the same folders and contents in both locations?

    In the sub projects i choose in the airoutput options on the first side the sub folder of the main project on my local drive. On the last side of the airoutput is no server choosen for publishing the sub projects.

    In the main project is on the last side the output path to our webserver choosen.

    The folders and content of my subprojects are on the server in the folder mergedProjects/name_of_sub/, but no Table of content of the subprojects are seen.

    Thanks!
