Publishing to Sharepoint

I just upgraded to 9 from 7 and am not able to get the new publishing feature to work. I am generating a webhelp project locally and attempting to publish to the company server/Sharepoint site.  I have tried every one of the options (http, sharepoint, file system).  I verified the host name and path directory with our IT heads.
I have been getting either "connection failed"  or it will say it was successful but the files are not appearing in the sharepoint folder. Changing the "Descriptive Name" seems to affect this, but I'm not sure why.
Any ideas?

Hi there
I'm guessing you are referring to the new "Publish to Sharepoint" feature, right? I say that because the Publishing feature isn't new. It's been there a long while. But I believe Adobe added the feature to Publish specifically to Sharepoint in version 9.
To my knowledge the Descriptive name area shouldn't be having any effect. Likely it's a red herring.
Does the video linked below help?

  • RoboHelp 9 Publish to SharePoint - why not just change output folder?

    Hello,
    For publishing my help to SharePoint, I was not able to get the video publishing to SharePoint to play, but tried to follow what written instructions I could find. and they didn't work. However, I was able to publish directly to SharePoint by simply changing the "Output folder and Start page" on the "General"  WebHelp single source layout settings page. I just made the files go directly to the SharePoint document library - into an empty folder I placed there.  Here is the path I used: \\sharepoint\HR\HCMHRResources\OnlineHelp\HRSpace\index.htm    It seems to work fine. Is there any reason I should not do it this way?

    Oops... my bad My Bad MY BAD!
    That will teach me to reply without fully comprehending the thread. I was thinking you were referring to typing the UNC address into the publish destination field. But after looking at it again it seems you are talking about where WebHelp is generated.
    Actually you DO NOT want to work that way. Here's why.
    If you are placing content on a shared medium, odds are that users are accessing it from there, no? The first steps in the generation process involve removing the content from the folder in preparation for receiving a new round of content. And as you may imagine, if users are looking at the information and suddenly it's deleted, it's going to cause issues.
    You always want to generate to your local hard drive. Then copy that content from your generated location to the server. And that's what Publish (which is what I thought you were doing) accomplishes.
    Cheers... Rick

  • RoboHelp 9 publishing to SharePoint

    getting a new error message - "Publishing has been cancelled.  This file is checked out or locked for editing by another user. No recent changes to SharePoint and I'm the only one working with these files - Help :-)

    Are you trying to send your generated help to a SharePoint site? Sounds like the issue is with SP – try generating locally first & then try copying it up to SP; if you still get the same message, then you know it’s SP’s problem.

  • Sharepoint 2013: Workflow Error , while trying to publish a Sharepoint 2013 Workflow, from the Sharepoint Designer 2013

    I don't know what might be wrong but I have tried everything possible I suppose. 
    Configuration: 1 App Server SharePoint Standard 2013 + SQL Server. On App Server, I have installed Workflow Manager as well.
    Installed Sharepoint Designer 2013 on my laptop. 
    Before I was able to publish the workflows, but now it refuses, thwroing me the following error:
    System.InvalidOperationException: Operation failed with error Microsoft.Workflow.Client.WorkflowCommunicationException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled. Client ActivityId : ac85cf9c-053a-e0db-1f47-608050559d31. ---> System.Net.WebException:
    The request was aborted: The request was canceled. ---> System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: There was an error reading from the pipe: The pipe has been ended. (109, 0x6d). ---> System.IO.PipeException: There was an error reading from
    What I have tried so far:
    a. Re-installed Workflow, Service Bus, Windows Fabric, Sharepoint Designer... no luck
    b. Run the configuration script... -Force enabled... no luck
    c. Remove WF Manager, SB, etc... Deleted all WF and sb Databases from SQL, and re-installed all icluding updates... no luck
    d. Tried to run services using Farm account, still no luck.
    e. All services on the Server are running as well
    f. The workflow is checked that it is associated with the site collection.
    I don't know what else to try... seems like I am experiencing unique issue here... please help!

    One last thing I can suggest - In case if you have installed CU Update for WF manager 1.0 and service bus. Some time that creates problem, [Please take backup before make any changes] -
    - Clear everything, WF config , SharePoint WF setting, un register WF from SP , You can delete and recreate WF service Apps
    - IISreset at WF and SP server
    - Uninstall CU update for Workflow manager 1.0 and Service Bus from WF server [Control Panel - Programs - Update], you can delete all update installed
    - ReStart WF server
    - Reconfigure WF manager , Test WF sites , should return XML
    Get-WFFarm | ft HttpPort
    - Reconfigure WF at SP , Make sure should have enough free memory
    Register-SPWorkflowService –SPSite "http://SPsite/" –WorkflowHostUri "http://WFServer:12291" –AllowOAuthHttp
    http or https , depend on your configuration
    And retest from SPD again.
    Good luck:)

  • Publish Page Content-Cross Site Publishing in SharePoint Online

    Is it possible to get Authoring Site's Specific Page's Content/html content (Live in Page Library of Authoring Site and saved as a Catalog) by a Content Search web part added to the Publishing site's page? 
    (Please note that these sites created in SharePoint 2013 Online, Authoring Site activated Cross site Publishing feature and created using team site template, Publishing site created using Publishing Portal template)

    Hi Gihan,
    Glad to hear your issue solved and thanks for your sharing! It is helpful for others who will meet the same issue.

  • Compose/Edit Locally then publish to SharePoint Site

    Sorry for the cross-posting ... This applies to both/either SP 2010 or 2013
    Here is our current process.  
    Our Technical Writer creates MSWord-document job-aids with headings, tables, lists and screenshots to show the steps to complete common procedures (e.g. How to fill out an expense report).  Screenshots are captured and altered using desktop software,
    then pasted into the Word file.
    The document is saved locally, converted to PDF and the PDF saved to a SharePoint Document Library
    Either:
    Users visit our internal company SharePoint site Document Library and download the PDF Documents, or
    We send out links to documents in newsletters, personal emails or Lync chats
    In the past, these documents would have also been printed, bound together and used as part of training.  We are quickly progressing past that paradigm.  Our users are much more comfortable with accessing documentation online.  I want to get
    out of the "PDF" and printing business all together.
    We have looked into re-creating all of these job-aids in SharePoint's KnowledgeBase template but due to the significant number of screenshots that we employ having to save each screenshot separately, upload to a folder, then to embed in the Knowledgebase
    template article is a significant increase in total effort.
    Ultimately what I want is a solution where:
    Our Technical Writer can create a procedure locally including cut/paste images
    The procedure can be saved/published to our SharePoint site with images being named/saved/uploaded automatically
    Users can search/browse/link to the procedure
    If changes need to be made, the Technical writer can open it in the local application (return to Step 1).
    Having some workflow (such as copy editing or manager approval stages), user ratings/comments, metadata/keywords, etc. would be icing on the cake.
    In the "old days" I would be able to crack open Adobe Dreamweaver or MSFrontPage, set up a site template and do almost all of this except the images still had to be saved first -- but that was when there were a million variables in terms of the
    webserver.  With a fully integrated Microsoft set of tools, I am hoping there is some combination of Sharepoint, Word, Sharepoint Designer and/or InfoPath that can meet my needs.
    BTW, we are currently using SharePoint 2007, but will be upgrading to 2013 soon (OR I can migrate to SP2010 if it will work, too) -- which if I can find a workable solution, I can start budgeting my team's time for the migration to a new paradigm.  Thanks

    lots of options here.  first, you could just use publishing and then the only thing standard users can view are published documents, whereas site owners can edit pages/documents and work with the unpublished draft and publish when wanted.
    also, if you want to automate the word-pdf process, 2010/2013 have word automation service app.  the demo and code sample for using automation services is a snippet that does word-pdf conversions:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff181518(v=office.14).aspx
    ideally, in 2013, you have cross site publishing abilities.  you could basically allow your writer to edit the list items in the source site and when published, they are presented in any way you like using display templates on the destination:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj635883(v=office.15).aspx
    ...realistically, for your current process, I think just enabling publishing would work for what you want.  sharepoint only indexes fully published content and users only see published content (unless they have perms ot edit it), so it should work great. 
    combined with word automation(requires 2010+, but the same code/config either way), you could keep the docs as pdfs for archival purposes if desired.  although sharepoint will keep previous versions if you want, so keeping the pdfs for archive isn't as
    necessary.

  • How to publish a sharepoint web application to internet for external users.

    Hi
    how to publish a share point site to internet,
    In test server : we branded a publishing enabled site and uploaded content and want to publish for internet users
    we have a production sharepont server,
    1) how to configure alternate access mappings in default zone,internet zone when we create new web application in prod share point server.
    adil

    For internet publishing ifyou want or need change the authentication method you need to EXTEND the website and enable the CLAIM authentication so the user can login using a HTML form for username and password.
    SharePoint make a url parsing to identify the content
    to display so you need to explain all the server name used for contacting the WebApplication. You can use 5 different name for the same server
    (AAM Alternate Access Mapping).
    N.B. http and https are different name (AAM Alternate Access Mapping)Lorenzo

  • Can't publish to SharePoint natively: trusted sites issue?

    I'm trying to publish an RH 10 project to SharePoint using the Multiscreen_HTML5 layout. In SharePoint (Native), I selected the 2007 version option because 2010 wouldn't work. The publish process goes all the way through until I get "Publishing has been cancelled. Access Denied. Before opening files in this location, you must first add the web site to your trusted sites list, ..." Of course the whole site is already in my Trusted Sites list.
    Is there something I can do on my end, or should I bother my SharePoint admin about this? I think it has a problem adding .aspx files.

    Hi Willam,
    I can't really tell what version of SharePoint we are using. I'm uploading to our new Office 365 portal. I manage to upload most of the files to the target using the SharePoint 2007 option; there is no authentication in the layout profile for that version.
    I get nowhere using the 2010 version. If I use a mapped drive to the target in the SharePoint Site field, I get the error "Value does not fall within the expected range". If I use the URL to the site I get "The remote server returned an error (403) Forbidden." I used my credentials for getting into Office 365.
    Does RoboHelp 11 have support for Office 365?

  • Cross Site Publishing in SharePoint Online

    I was asked to test Cross Site Publishing features in SharePoint 2013 Online. I saved the Authoring site collection's (Used Team Site's Template since Product Catalog Template not avialable in SP Online) Pages library as a Catalog. When I connected that
    catalog in my Publishing site collection, 2 pages created automatically. Category Page is showing the content, but CatelogItem page is empty. How can I configure Content Search Web Part to show the Page Content of the Authoring Sites's page?
    Can we show Authoring sites Pages libraries page content on the publishing site?
    Is this possible in SharePoint Online Cross Site Publishing?

  • WebHelp Search returning no results when publishing to SharePoint

    I have an issue I need help with. When I publish my project to Sharepoint, I've tried AIRHelp and WebHelp, and I try to do a search within the help, it ALWAYS says no results are found. Has anyone seen this happen before? Thanks!

    Hi there
    Sorry, no magick bullet or incantation to offer here other than to say you should probably report it as a bug to Adobe.

  • Menu bar disabled for a PowerPivot workbook after publishing on SharePoint 2013

    Hi,
    I've implemented a simple PowerPivot workbook on a SharePoint 2013 site but when I select it inside Internet Explorer 11 the menu bar seems disabled (f.e., I cannot select the data refresh for the Data tab). I can use the slicers and the filters successfully.
    When I select the PowerPivot workbook inside Mozilla Firefox I can use the menu bar normally.
    Any ideas to solve this issue? Does it depend on the used browser?
    Thanks

    did you try IE's compatibility mode?

  • Publishing Word doc to Sharepoint as pdf

    I have been fighting with the PDFMaker for over a week and still can't figure it out.  I am trying to take a folder of word documents and convert them to pdfs, then publish them to a SharePoint server.  The conversion to pdf is where I seem to have issues.  I have seen numerous post stating that PDFMaker is not supported, so what options do I have?  I tried to simply print the documents to the pdf print driver, but this does not allow me to capture the bookmarks from the word documents, which is one reason why we want to convert to pdf before publishing to SharePoint, simply a cleaner presentation to have the TOC or bookmarks on the left where they are always accessible rather than the beginning or end where the user has to scroll.
    I am trying to do the through macro within Word, so that when the document is saved, it automatically prompts the user to save to sharepoint.  If the user says yes, a copy of the document is saved as pdf and published to the SharePoint server.
    Could someone point me in the right direction on how to complete this document conversion?  I have both Adobe 8, Pro and Std available.

  • Problems publishing a web-access on Sharepoint: Error when modifying list schemes

    Good afternoon.
    I have an application built with an access database with several forms and web macros which is published on Sharepoint 2010. Through this application - not too big not too complex (ca. 10 tables / less than 2000 records at most) - I receive updates
    that are loaded into external applications, mainly excel worksheets, ms project files and so on.
    I have been going through the cycle of developing and publishing new versions of the application on the same site for more than a year; suddenly, from severeal weeks ago on, I started receiving the following error affecting random tables (not always the
    same) which crashes the compilation and publishing:
    "Error when modifying lists schemes. Changing name to "ID" field on list XXXX failed"
    And each time the list is different. And of course I am no trying at all to change the name of any ID field !????
    Any clue of what might be happening?
    Thank you

    The article might have missed the step where the blogger might have missed the step. Read the following article and which confirms that you cannot use user controls in SB solutions.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg615454.aspx
    If you are trying to build this in SharePoint 2013 then you must know that custom code is deprecated from SB solutions.

    For SP 2013 your best bet is to create an APP or create a farm solution (God please forgive me). :)
