JPG & GIF Images Not Displaying

I am running RH 2015 and created this project. About a week ago, an issue came up where WebHelp links to GIF & JPG images no longer worked. PNG images are able to display. I deleted the CPD and re-compiled. The fix worked for a couple of days and now is having the issue again. The only thing I have done differently was to install RH11 to help a colleague on another project. I did not remove RH 2015 before this. When I went to open the XPJ of the RH 2015 project, I received a message where the project was created in a later version. I was surprised (since I clicked on the XPJ) that the program wouldn't launch RH 2015. I then removed RH 11 from my computer and the project opened fine.

I'm going to try removing RH 2015 from my system and re-installing. In the meantime, here's a screenshot of the issue. Any insight would be appreciated. Client is using both IE and Chrome to view the WebHelp (this has been going on for the past year) without issue. -- Thanks.  Anet

You can have both flavours on your machine – however, what Windows thinks is the correct version to use to open your xpj file is entirely dependent upon the order you installed them. When you plopped RH11 in after RH2015, Windows would have associated the xpj file type with RH11. That’s why you got the message. When running multiple versions, it’s always safer to fire up the project you want to use & then open the desired project in the correct version.

Jeff is spot on.

Seems there are a great many folks that misunderstand the Windows file association.

Always ALLways ALLWAYS operate by opening the application first, THEN open the project you are interested in!

Cheers... Rick

Update on this issue ... created a new WebHelp from clean install of RH 2015. RH 11 is no longer on my system. CPD is deleted prior to compiling. Same image display issue is happening. Content is published to a server by client's IT Department and WebHelp displays for a period of time without issue and then the GIFs and JPGs no longer render. This same client uses other vendors who author in RH 11; no issue there. This is not a new situation as I've been contracted with the client for 2 years. This issue is about a week old. We are continuing to test additional scenarios (different skin) to try and isolate. I've taken one of the RH 11 projects and upgraded to RH 2015 and testing has begun on that. I'm unable to replicate the problem on my system. Any insight is appreciated.

Published to a webserver or LAN server? What browser versions are being used to test it? Have you tried using one of the sample projects to see if it duplicates the issue? (you are all patched up in RH2015, right? There’s been 2 patches so far)

I found out that my client is publishing to a Webserver. They are using the latest version of Chrome and IE companywide. We found that the image issue is now inconsistent -- even within the same topic. I'm running this version of RH:

RHversion.png

I click Updates...from within my project and it shows:

rhupdate.png

This looks like an earlier version from what I have (as I just re-installed RH 2015 two days ago). So I'm not sure how to answer your question on whether I'm patched up. We're now seeing inconsistency in GIFs and JPGs. The image failures appear to be happening across the board--irrelevant of what type of image format is being used or where the image file is actually located. In other words, it doesn't matter where the image file is stored in the original XPJ or where the image is used in WebHelp output. Could this issue possibly be related to this thread?

You’re not patched up – download the patch & try generating again.

Hi there

Perhaps share a screen capture showing the image file name and the folder structure involved?

Cheers... Rick

I am now patched up. On my way to re-compile, I encountered a few things that don't typically occur. Due to the issue that's going on, I wanted to share in case it may shed light into resolving this issue. To prepare for new WebHelp compile (post patch), I re-started my system, deleted the CPD file and opened the project. This time, I got the following message:

RHupgrademesg.png

The project was in 2015 so I was surprised over the upgrade prompt. I clicked “Upgrade.” An “upgrade successful” message happened next. Once the compile finished, I clicked the View option to see the result and another new message appeared:


webroot toolbar.png

  I clicked “Don’t Enable.” Customer now has WebHelp (post patch) and is testing...I'll post the outcome of their testing when finished.

I haven’t heard any reports of Adobe bundling that Ask.com toolbar with RH, but I guess it’s possible. I’d just uninstall it if you’re not interested in using it. For what it’s worth, I don’t usually use the “View” option to see how my help is really going to appear; that View button mechanism sometimes doesn’t serve up what it really looks like, so I browse to the \!SSL!\ folder and launch the index file outside of RH.
