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!

    In the Start Page field you define where you want to generate the help.

    If you click the Server settings you define where you want to publish.

    When you publish the parent it goes to \\servername\myrobohelp and it creates a folder called mergedProjects and subfolders for each child.

    When you publish the children, your Server setting must point to those subfolders.

    Does that clarify? If not, please add some screenshot using the camera icon so that the images are in the post as above.

    Hi Peter,

    Unless I select "Browser based Help" or "AIR and Browser based Help" the Server setting is grayed out. The mergedProjects folder is then in the BroswerBasedHelp folder.

    1. Should I publish AIR child files into the WebHelp Merged Projects folder?
    2. In the Parent project, I am unable to associate the Child Merged Project with an AIR file. The "FlashHelp/WebHelp/AdobeAIR" tab only looks for project files: .xpj, .mpj (see attached screenshot).

    Thanks,

    Lydia
