Question

Topic found using Search not showing in Contents

Hi,

A tester has just pointed out to me that if you search for a topic using the Search facility, if you then click on Contents while that topic is open, the contents tree does not automatically expand to show you whereabouts in the project that topic occurs.

I can't figure out why. Any ideas please?

Do you have AutoSync ticked in the webhelp settings?

What you describe should work as required.

Do you mean "Synchronize Table of Contents" - Automatically - in the WebHelp settings pane prior to compiling the help?

If so, then yes, it is set to "Automatically" but the problem is occurring.

I'm guessing this is an old project that has been upgraded through one or more versions of Rh?

I doubt deleting the CPD will have any impact but it's worth a try.

In the WebHelp > Navigation settings, try Local PC rather than Website.

Beyond that, how feasible is it to create a new project and import the topics?

I've deleted the CPD file and have also compiled using Local PC rather than website but neither of these things made any difference.

We have another product release coming up in September so I could create a new project and import the topics.

Thanks anyway all for your help.
