Apply Conditional Build tag to Browse Sequence

Question

Hi Everyone-
I'm trying to control 6 conditional builds in one project. I
have 6 working indexes and TOCs using build tags. I was wondering
if there was a way to apply tags or somehow conditionalize the
browse sequences. I'm running RH7.
Thanks in advance!
Wendy

Hi Wendy:
It seems you are having the same problem that I did. I have
different User Guides however some of the Guides may have the same
procedure. I was trying to setup the search so only one of the
topics would return on the search and not 3 of them. I found
something that actually had to do with RoboHelp x3 but I applied it
to RoboHelp x5, where you need to do the following.
Create build TAG1 - this is for the ones you do not want
search to return.
Create build TAG2 - this is for the ones you do want the
search to return.
Apply the tags accordingly to each procedure accordingly.
Make copies of the following files in the WebHelp directorys
just incase:
Folder WHDATA:
whftdata0.htm
whwdata0.htm
Folder WHXDATA:
whftdata0.xml
whfwdata0.xml
Folder WHGDATA
whlstf0.htm
GENERATE PRIMARY LAYOUT (This should be set to Webhelp)
1. Define the Conditional Build Expressioin to exclude topics
that are not wanted in the search:
A. Click the Define button.
This wil bring up the Define Conditional Build Tag
Expression dialog.
B. Click the Advance button.
C. Click the Not button.
D. Select TAG1 from the drop-down list of Available
Conditional Build Tags.
E. Click the Add Tag button.
F. Click OK
G. Select your WebHelp Options, and then click Finish.
When you pull up your test or Dev site and perform a search
you should only come up with one topic. I just finished this and it
worked. Also, as a reminder I am working in x5 and not x7.
Good Luck,
Amy
