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!

    The server setting is only for browser AIR help. There are articles on my site that explain the settings. I'm not following why you expect to see a server setting for desktop AIR help. It is going to be installed locally so no server is involved.

    Merging browser AIR help is done in the same way as merging webhelp, the latter is also covered on my site. I haven't looked at merging desktop AIR help. If and when I do, I will start by setting it up in the same way as merging CHMs.

    Hi Peter,

    I've been trying to figure out how to merge desktop AIR help.

    Can you elaborate on how you might merge destop AIR help in the similar way of merging CHMs? I'll also look at your super-thorough site for tips as well.
