Broken Links Index Keyword

Hello All,
I have a bunch of index keywords that show up under Broken
Links and I can't seem to resolve them. RoboHelp help has a topic,
"Removing topic references from keywords" but their procedure
doesn't work for me. If anyone has figured out a fix, let me know.
M.S

Well, I think I got it figured out. This may not be the best
way, but I'll share it with the community anyway in case anyone
else needs it.
1. In RoboHelp go to Tools > Reports > Broken links.
2. Save the report to a text file.
3. Close RoboHelp (it'll crash later if you don't)
4. Find the .hhk file in the project folder (back it up
before starting)
5. Open the .hhk file with WordPad.
6. Copy part of the "Missing Topic" path from the report and
search for it in the .hhk file.
7. When you find the keyword reference, delete everything
between the <li><object
type="text/sitemap"></object> tags.
8. Save the .hhk
Note: after doing this, I had to restart my computer before I
could open a topic in RH without it crashing.

Word import/linking - index keywords and cross-ref conversion options

Hi all,
there are two options for linking/importing Word documents that seem to have no function. Maybe somebody can clarify what these are used for?
* First, the option "Add index keywords to topics" in the link properties is always greyed out, even if I select this option in the project settings. When is this option available, and why would you choose it rather that creating a new linked index?
* In the conversion settings in the project settings window, there is an option to convert cross-references to hyperlinks. But cross-refs are always converted for me even if this check box is not selected. Does this option do anything?
Robert

OK - I tried something crazy but I don't know why it worked.
New question, before I waste alot of time, will this contine
to work?
I created a "RoboHelp for Word" project. I got a Run-time
error '49': Bad DLL calling convention messge.
I keep getting messages saying there is a problem with
Micorsoft Word, or Unable to load Virtual Transaction Module and
had to kill the process using the Task Manager. Obviously, I
abandoned this approach. I did however open that project with
RoboHelp HTML and when I imported a Word document the Index was
created.
Any ideas why?
Thanks.

Broken links with index keywords

Using RH 8, I have 20 broken links associated with index keywords. can someone advise how to easily get rid of these broken links?
Many thanks

I assume you are talking about links to index keywords rather than unused index keywords. If so, you have references to those index keywords somewhere inside your project. Your options are to repair the links or remove the references. If you right click on each broken link there are options to Edit, Restore and Show References which will help you find out what is going on.

Delete Broken Links

I would like to know how to delete everything in the broken
links folder. I have a project that has migrated from a Word import
thru a few editors, structure reorganizations, and other nefarious
activities and it is time to clean up the resulting mess. I can't
find a way to just delete the broken links - they no longer
reference anything in the project.
I can't find a procedure to remove or resolve them - the
broken links are irrelevant. Is there a utility that can just
delete the broken links from the project or edit a file outside of
the project?

when I was done. Most of them - about 80 - had No References in the
Broken Link repair window. They stuck there even after exiting and
re-entering the project.
I renamed and rebuilt the .cpd file, came back in, and all
those unreferenced links were gone.
Thanks very much for your quick response! That did the trick!
I made a backup of the *.cpd file, deleted the original,
re-opened RoboHTML and my project, then recompiled it. The few
broken references that I had fixed in the Index keywords were no
longer listed in the Broken Links folder! Yay! Now I just need to
fix the rest of them.

Link checker does not seem to see some broken links-why?

Hi,
I have a problem with the link checker, it does not seem to report some broken links. Here is the context in which it happens.
My site root folder contains (subset) :
index.php
Templates/child_userarea.dwt
user-area/downloads.html
(The file downloads.html is based on child_userarea.dwt.)
In the template, I have <a href="../../index.php" title="Home page">Home</a>.
In downloads.html, this link appears as <a href="file:///M|/Website/index.php" title="Home page">Home</a>.
According to this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/934203#934203 by Murray, this is because Dreamweaver (CS4 in my case) thinks that index.php is outside the site root folder. I understand it thinks so because indeed ../../index.php points to the folder parent of the root folder. What I don't get is why doesn't the link checker report that ../../index.php does not exist? (And I'm sure it doesn't, there is no file called index.php outside the root folder.)
Emilie

That's the thing, it is correct! I have checked many times. Here is what is says:
and M:\Website\CERC15\ does exist.
For the time being, I have corrected the paths in the template, so for that particular file, it is now ok. However, I have no idea whether other paths are wrong since I am not sure any longer whether they are spotted by the link checker. I searched for other instances of file:///M|/Website and there is none left.
I suspect this is just one more problem due to another problem non-identified so far (see e.g.http://forums.adobe.com/thread/506149?tstart=30). Since I renamed a big batch of files, I have had problems after problems: the templates disappearing (see that other post); I also lost all the files in 4 other folders (files for download linked to the pages through <a> tags); and Dreamweaver has become particularly slow (but this seems to have been fixed with erasing the cache and the personal preferences).
I'd like to start from scratch again (and why not reinstall Dreamweaver), but I don't know how to recreate the site from zero without loosing anything (e.g. links to templates).

Broken link to Presenter 8 Trial download

Broken link to trial:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=presenter
How about "Request Information", maybe some one can send me a good link?
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=contact_us&sa=elearning
Another Broken Link. Hmm. This is getting complicated.
OK, diferent approach. Google "adobe presenter 8 trial". Ahh, this looks good:
https://www.adobe.com/go/trypresenter
Broken Link
Back to Google. Second link:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=153&platform=Windows
Jackpot! Finally a good link.
Download latest full install 7.0.7. Error during installation: "Error - Unable to detect Microsoft Powerpoint", which is odd, since I have PP installed.
Google errormessage, and discover 7.0.7 doesn't support 64-bit PP 2010. Sigh.
8.0.2 does, apparently, but the only file for that is an upgrade - not an installer.
Guess I should report those broken links, right? Maybe if they get those fixed, I'll be able to get the Presenter 8 install?
So, took the "Broken Link" link from error page I get when accesing first link above, and it takes me to http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/contact.html
No obvious place to report a broken link. Feedback? OK, I'll try that.
Report a bug? Closest thing I see:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Broken Link!
So I can't download a trial that I can install, even though I have a supported product installed, I can't report thebroken Link, and, of course, it being a weekend, I can't contact Adobe Support.
Frustrating. If this is the quality of the web site, what does that say about the quality of the products?
Anyway, I still want to try the trial, but in the meantime, I guess I'll try Authorpoint.

delete your adobe.com cookie and retry https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=presenter

Removed Movie from .Mac Web Gallery But Broken Link Remains?

I published a movie to my Web Gallery successfully. I then tried to republish but got two movies in the Gallery. One movie worked and the other was a broken link. I removed the movie from .Mac using Share>Remove From .Mac, and the working movie was removed. But I am still left with a broken link in the Movies section of my Web Gallery. How can I remove this broken link?
I checked my iDisk and found \Web\Sites\_gallery, but I can't find the index file for the gallery (only folders for the albums).
Thanks, Will

I'm having the same problem (broken links after a republish) -- and a few others:
1) After about the first time, I have been unable to remove a movie from the gallery. I just get a connection error. I'm able to add movies (somehow the connection magically works) but removing fails most of the time.
2) When adding a movie, for some reason, the title of the movie ends up replacing the "My Gallery" title for my entire web gallery. On the web gallery home page (over my photo albums and videos) it shows the title of the first video.

Broken Links not fixed after being changed-HELP PLEASE!

I am trying to fix a website I created for a friend. I created it in Dreamweaver CS6 on a Mac. Everything was working on the website, the pitures were showing up and now 2 of the pages arent working. On both pages the spry bar is not working and some of the pictures will not show up. I have went to find broken links and redirected it to the correct file but it is not changing anything. I am not sure how to fix this problem, if anyone has any advice that would be great!! The website is www.serenityatthebeach.com.

That line read correctly when I looked at it on the broken page colorcutstyle. I copied the code from the page if that would help. I hope this helps.

Broken link report broken?

Hi. I'm using Dreamweaver CS 5.5. I get the same results on Mac or Windows so I don't think this is OS specific.
When I run "Site>Check links sitewide" I end up with a report that shows around 11,000 broken links on different pages. I am running this report on our development server (we Put files to our live site from the development server) but I'm not sure how that could be a cause. We've got a number of links to external websites that show as broken but when I check them randomly, they are all fine and the outside websites are up and running. It is also showing many internal links to other pages of our site as broken but again, random checks show them all as ok.
Is there a secret I may be missing to run an accurate link report or is it just there for looks?
Thanks.

Broken Link Report with Variables

In my broken links report, I have many links that contain dynamic variables that will be realized at execution time and are not static links.
I have included some code from our page(s) below.
This process works extremely well for our web pages, but I would like to clear up the broken link report.
Is there a way to keep the code as is and have them removed from the broken link report, or is there better way to do this?
Example:
<cfoutput query = “getDBcontent”>
<cfset FileName =“../projectweb/images/#getDBcontent.FileType#.gif”>
<cfset FileTitleAlt = “The title of this document is: #getDBcontent.FileTitle#”>
<img src=”#FileName#” alt=”#FileTitleAlt#”> #currentrow# <a href=”../projectweb/files/#getDBcontent.Table_FileName#”
                 target=“_blank”>#getDBcontent.Table_FileNameTitle#</a><br />
</cfoutput>
After Execution:
<img src=”pdf.gif” alt=”The title of this document is: Search Lists for Dummies”> 1
<a href=”../projectweb/files/Search_Lists_for_Dummies.pdf” target=“_blank”> Search Lists for Dummies </a><br />
<img src=”pdf.gif” alt=”The title of this document is: Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP”> 2
<a href=”../projectweb/files/Adobe_Dreamweaver_CS5_with_PHP.pdf” target=“_blank”>
Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP </a><br />
<img src=”doc.gif” alt=”The title of this document is: How to Build a House”> 3
<a href=”../projectweb/files/How_to_Build_a_House.doc” target=“_blank”> How to Build a House </a><br />
<img src=”docx.gif” alt=”The title of this document is: Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Classroom in a Book”> 4
<a href=”../projectweb/files/Adobe_Dreamweaver_CS5_Classroom_in_a_Book.docx” target=“_blank”>
Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Classroom in a Book </a>
The broken link report shows the following:
FILES                                                      Broken Links
/Books.cfm                                         ../projectweb/files/#getDBcontent.Table_FileName#
/Books.cfm                                         #top
/Books.cfm                                         #bottom
Thank you in advance...

Broken Links is Broken

DW CS4 is identifying valid links as broken. Most are links
that were updated in the last few days and they are part of a
template. The local site was saved and uploaded to the website. The
links are OK on both the local site and the website. Is there some
option or setting that needs to be changed?
For example line 44 on:
http://www.ironoakconnection.org/index.html
is identified as broken. It's in the left navbar and works as
expected.

On this beautiful Sunday.................
Hallelujah!
Well! Is there a way I can send you some virtual electronic champagne?????
I did what you said, changed that code.
The new broken link check showed this:
flyingtigress.co.uk/index.html    Info/
flyingtigress.co.uk/index.html    Music/
flyingtigress.co.uk/index.html    Paintings/
flyingtigress.co.uk/index.html    Photos/
flyingtigress.co.uk/index.html    Books/
Then I manually changed each link again one at a time, and the code returned
itself to
[Music | Music/index.html]
[Paintings | Paintings/index]
[Photos | Photos/indexhtml]
[Books | Books/index.html]
BUT and this is the great bit, when it returned itself to that the links were
NOT broken anymore (allegedly!)
I did find using the site checker those pesky two image files causing a fuss
again, but I manually did those again and again this time I got rid of them too!
So.......the upshot of all this is that YOU are a genius, and I am so grateful
to you. I just wish I had the knowledge base of someone as expert as you....
but I will learn from these things and hope to deal with problems one by one,
but this is a great great victory!
I bet you will be so happy that you don't see my email again (well at least for
a while!)
Hahahaha! Seriously thanks so much, I cannot answer the one about the fact that
the link seems to be checking the remote server, I don't know what all that is
about either, but it seems to be sorted and that is what really matters!
Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I need to go and record a song to celebrate! I think
Lawdy Miss Claudy will remind me of this episode! Don't ask me why!
Many many thanks

Hi,
this link is *supposed* to be for Flex 4.6 but when you unzip and install it is Flex 4.5. Can this be fixed as i would really like the 4.6 automation plugin instead of 4.5.

The server at java.sun.com is taking too long to respond.
    *   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
          moments.
    *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
          connection.
    *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
          that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.I think now there is no fault of IE& it is cool,I also find it strange how Mr.Djaunl can view those page .
