Using different images

Hello,

I have a standard user guide that I have created. However, I want to swap out images depending on who the guide is generated for. Is there an easy way to do this?

example: Company A gets the entire userguide with their images . company B gets the same user guide with their images.

Thanks,

Chris

It depends on the version of RoboHelp, which is why the Sticky Topic in Before You Post asks that all threads are started with the version of RoboHelp being used.

Variables can now include images and that would give you what you need. Including images was introduced in RoboHelp 8.

The problem actually was that we were editing the Conditional Build tags. We first deleted them from all topics then used the same name with different parameters. The solution is to never edit the tags, just delete them and start fresh.

Actually, you should be able to edit the tags, that is a bug that I will report to Adobe.

Am I following you correctly here? A tag is just that, a tag with a name. Of itself there are no parameters. Can I ask what you are referring to here when you talk about editing tags? Build expressions can be edited but that's another matter.

I also just tested right clicking a tag and selecting Rename which is the only thing you can edit. When I did that, RoboHelp automatically changed the build expression.

I am not clear on what it was you were editing, the tags or the expression?

Hi Chris,

You can use conditional build tags. Create a Company A tag and a Company B tag and apply the tags to the images. Then exclude the Company A tag from Company B's single source layout, and the Company B tag from Company A's single source layout.

Hope this helps.
