Remove "Click here to see this page link in full context" link in Robohelp 2107

[Myk_ZetAu]

Newbie TW here. I'm currently working on a HTML5 Online Help project where two main help systems share the same context sensitive help topics. The problem is I can only link the CSH topics to one main help. Removing the "Click here to see this page in full context" link located on the top right portion of the CSH window solves this problem. I would like to ask the experts here for help in locating which file to modify in order to remove the link. I'm using Robohelp 2017, btw.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi there

You can change this text by clicking the Project tab > Project Settings button > General tab > Advanced... button > Labels tab > Scroll to the [ResponsiveHelp] section and locate the  ShowTopicInContext= line. You are able to edit that line to contain what you want.

What I did was to open the Windows Character Map application (Windows key+R and type charmap into the field and press Enter).

In Character Map, type "zero width joiner" into the Search for: field and click the Search button. Then click the Select button followed by the Copy button. Then paste that character into the area to the immediate right o the ShowTopicInContext= bit.

When you generate the output, the text should not appear. But the area is still clickable to reveal the TOC and navigational elements.

Cheers... Rick

This works perfectly. Thanks Rick.

I have the opposite issue. I want the Show link to display in the topic area. How do I do that?

I don't see the ShowTopicInContext option. Using RH2017.

Perhaps it appears in an update? Are you certain you have applied all updates?

ChadPink​ You refer to the Show Link but the thread is about the "Click here to see this page link in full context". I think the first is what you get with WebHelp and the second is what you get with Responsive Help. Both occur when a topic is opened other than through the Start Page.

Double click a topic in File Explorer and you should see one message or the other without doing anything to your project.

Ooopppsss! My bad! I already have the show/hide topics link in place.

I am missing the Show link for the navigation pane (TOC). I can't find the option below when generating HTML5:

[Peter Grainge]

You won't find that option for HTML5. If a topic is opened with a direct

URL, the text I described automatically appears top right. WebHelp gave you

the option you show to suppress it by clearing that check box.

Ah... just as I thought.

Does anyone have a work around so the Navigation pane can be opened from the topic page? We are implementing context-sensitive help, which opens the topic page.

[Peter Grainge]

That's what the top right link does.

Direct URL opens topic with top right link. Click it and Nav pane opens.

Oh boy... now I have a different issue.

So I generated webhelp to make sure the Show link was still in place. Obviously, it was.

Now, when I generate the HTML5 help, the help gets stuck. The rotating squares (thinking) appear, and it's been doing that for a few minutes now. I have rebooted my laptop. Still the same.

[ChadPink]

Aha... I figured it has something to do with IE. I copied the link to Chrome and it works!

Thank you! I see the top-right link when I opened the HTML file.
