Browse Sequences in WebHelp -- Not Readily Apparent?

As a newbie with RH7, I'm looking at using Browse Sequences.
I created two named sequences and assigned a few topics to each,
but when I generate a WebHelp output the only visible presence
seems to be the "back - forward" triangles above the TOC. No
listbox showing the named sequences offered. The only clue that the
two sequences are working is that the back and forward buttons do
move through a particular sequence when I happen to select a topic
that's in that sequence from the TOC.
Referring to N. Perlin's article,
www.stcsig.org/oi/hyperviews/archive/02Spring/022cmagi.htm, for
example, what I see is similar to his Figure 1. Can RH7 generate
WebHelp that shows a browse sequence pictogram similar to that
shown in his Figure 3? If not, browse sequences appear to be
useless to foist upon my users.
Thanks for your comments.

Paul et al: I downloaded & installed the Adobe AIR
package and RoboHelp Packager for Adobe AIR. Found link to the
latter in my RH7 Toolbox pod. Tried it on my current project. Wow!
As you said, my browse sequences show up TOC-like in the lower left
pane using the tab titled "How do I?" There's also a Mini-TOC tab
(automatically shows the major headings within the topic on
display!) and a Favorites tab. Beautiful!
I'd use this solution in a heartbeat, but for two
impediments: (1) must purchase a digital certificate for the
single help file (AIR requirement), which would take time
through my Federal customer and (2) the user PCs are locked down
and AIR ain't on the "approved software" list ... yet (for any of
you familiar with NMCI...). <sigh>

  • RentalMan HTML Ver 8 - Browse Sequences in WebHelp

    How do I get my Browse Sequences to show up in my WebHelp output?  I have added a new button to my Navigation on my WebHelp skin and I believe I linked it to my Browse Sequence file in my project folder.  When I preview my skin, I see the new button, but it doesn't do anything.  When I generate my WebHelp output, I don't even see the button let alone have access to my Browse Sequences.  Help.

    Hi there
    Sounds like you are misunderstanding Browse Sequnces. There is no button or file to link to. You simply create the Sequence(s) and ensure they are enabled in the Single Source Layout recipe. When all is working they show up as little arrow icons as shown in the image below:
    *NOTE: Depending on the skin you are using, the icons may appear differently.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Browse sequences in WebHelp Pro

    I publish my project to WebHelp Pro and the browse sequence
    buttons appear but they do not work. Do browse sequences work in
    WebHelp Pro. They work fine for the same project when published to
    WebHelp.
    Thanks for any help.
    I am using RoboHelp 7 and RoboHelp Server 7

    Has anyone found a fix for this? I'm having a similar
    problem. I have a browse sequence setup, but when I publish my
    project as WebHelp Pro the forward and back buttons do not show up
    at all. I'm also missing the search box next to the "Powered by
    RoboHelp" image.
    I'm using RoboHelp X5 and RoboEngine 4. This project was
    originally created with RoboInfo 5, then converted to RoboHelp X5.
    Both the browse buttons and search box were visible in the RoboInfo
    project.
    Thanks for any help!

  • Why do the glossary tab and browse sequences of my CHM not show up outside of Robohelp?

    Hi,
    I have Robohelp 8.02.208 running on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine. It has only been a few weeks since I moved from XP, but I don't know if this is connected to my issue of having a grayed out glossary tab and no browse sequences listed in my generated CHM.
    I had encountered a very simialr issue a couple or year ago, and thus I have verified in the registry that HHActiveX.dll is registered and properly located on my machine. All seems fine for that, but there is different twist: when I generate the CHM from Roboehlp and then click "View Result" everything works wonderfully. The problem is that as soon as I close that CHM, the browse sequences and glossary disappear. That is, I generate abc.CHM to C:\folderA and although everything is in place when I click View Result in Robohelp, if I later go to C:\folderA and open the same file, it has a grayed out glossary tab and missing browse sequences. And, not surprisingly I guess, if I send the CHM to someone else they get the same glossary-&-broswe-sequence-free result.
    I have looked over many forum disucssions on grayed out glossary tabs and missing browse sequences, but nothing seems to explain my particular issue. It leaves me scratching my head quite a bit.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance :-)

    Hi there
    Likely you need the 64 bit version of the HHActiveX.dll. I believe this is only available in RoboHelp HTML version 9.
    If you have version 9 I received this from a Question I asked of Adobe:
    ...you can get the 64 bit version of HHActiveX.dll in  RoboHelp 9.0. It is kept at "<RoboHelp 9.0 install  folder>\Redist\x64\HHActiveX.dll"
    If RoboHelp 9.0 is  installed on your machine, this activeX control is already registered.  Otherwise you need to register this DLL.
    To register HHActiveX.dll,
    1> Run Command prompt(cmd.exe) as administrator
    2> Type "regsvr32 <HHActiveX.dll full path>" and press Enter.
    3> This should show that the registration is done successfully.
    Now working with 64 bit version of HH.exe should also show Glossary and Browse Sequences.
    You might download version 9 and test.

  • Browse Sequence Stopped Working

    I generated WebHelp output files on 11/19/14 (less than 2 weeks ago) in which the browse sequence works as expected.  When I generated output today, I noticed that the browse sequence buttons were not displaying.  I'm using RH 10 with IE 11.  I am the only person who accesses the RoboHelp project files for this project.
    I checked the WebHelp project settings and noticed the "Enable Browse Sequence" box was not checked.  I checked it.  I regenerated the project.  The browse buttons now appear but remain disabled.  I used the Browse Sequence Editor to regenerate the browse sequence from the TOC.  It did not work as expected.  Instead of following the TOC sequence, it put all the first-level books at the beginning of the browse sequence, then all the second-level books, and so on.  Just the same, I saved and regenerated the project.  The browse buttons still appeared, but still remained disabled.  I used the Browse Sequence Editor again to regenerated the browse sequence based on the TOC using the option to create separate browse sequences for each book down to level 5 (just an arbitrary number).  RH created a bunch of separate browse sequences.  I clicked OK again and regenerated the project.  I still see disabled browse buttons, and I tried clicking multiple topics in different books to see if any of the separate browse sequences worked.  The browse buttons remained disabled.
    I reviewed previous RH posts on this subject.  I saw Julietta Curtis' post on browse sequences not working in IE 10 but working in Chrome and Firefox.  I opened in Chrome and Firefox the last two versions of the WebHelp I generated; same results as IE 11--disabled browse buttons.  I opened the WebHelp from 11/19/14 in Chrome and Firefox; the browse sequence works fine.
    Note:  I also tried regenerating the project using the project's .BRS file from prior processes--including .BRS files going back to 10/29/14.
    Any thoughts on how to get the browse sequence working again?  Thanks!

    Amebr, I would still be interested in knowing what you mean by "For the buttons, perhaps make sure your browse sequence hasn't become unticked in your SSL?"
    I have tried everything I can think of.  I took a copy of the .hhc (TOC) file, reformatted it as a .BRS file using the structure of a valid .BRS file from another project, named the browse sequence (although that doesn't seem to matter), opened the Browse Sequence Editor and verified that I can view the browse sequence and view links from the Browse Sequence Editor, and re-verified the "Enable Browse Sequence" box is checked on the WebHelp Settings window.
    RoboHelp appears to recognize the named BRS file as a valid BRS file, and it exactly matches the structure of the TOC because it was created from the TOC file.  The generated project still just shows disabled browse sequence buttons (which are an indication that the browse sequence box is checked because the buttons do not show up at all if it is unchecked).  Open to any suggestions on how to get this to work.
    Don't think this is related, but ran a batch generate process on a different project and received a message that MS Word is not installed.  RH appears not to have been updated when my MS Word was updated from 2007 to 2013.  Was still able to generate the other project, and its browse sequence works.  What do I need to do to get RH 10 to recognize MS Word 2013?  Again, thanks!

  • Browse sequence in Windows Vista 64-bit?

    This is a duplicate post.  I posted it nestled down in another browse sequence thread and didn't get any nibbles, so I am creating a new thread.  I hope no one minds.
    Hi all, I'm wondering if I can get a little help from the gurus here.  I've been through the forums and internet trying to find the answer to browse sequences and glossary tabs in Windows Vista 64-bit.  I am running Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium Service Pack 2.
    I need to mention that my .chm files work fine on Windows XP (multiple machines tested).  My project consists of a master .chm (thanks Peter Grainge for the step-by-step, which I followed to the letter) with 15 slave projects.
    I've copied the hhactivex.dll from the Program Files\Adobe\RoboHelp\RoboHTML (426 KB) on my Windows XP machine and saved it in the following folders on my Windows Vista 64-bit machine:
    c:\windows\system32
    c:\windows\sysWOW64
    I then tried using the cmd.exe command prompt (as administrator) in c:\windows\system32 to do the following:
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\hhactivex.dll
    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\hhctrl.ocx
    Both commands registered successfully.  When I opened the .chm, the glossary and browse sequence are still not working properly.
    So, I then tried unregistered hhactivex.dll and hhctrl.ocx in the c:\windows\system32 folder using the regsvc32 and the cmd.exe (as administrator) in that same folder.
    I then tried using the cmd.exe command prompt (as administrator) in c:\windows\sysWOW64 to do the following:
    regsvr32 c:\windows\sysWOW64\hhactivex.dll
    regsvr32 c:\windows\sysWOW64\hhctrl.ocx
    Both commands registered successfully.  When I opened the .chm, the glossary and browse sequence are still not working properly.
    I've been pulling my hair out on this one.  I've seen posts mentioning the "Unblock" Button on the .chm's Properties - General tab - Advanced dialog, but I do not have an Unblock button anywhere in the properties for these .chms.  I also do not have the Microsoft KB 89xxxxx security updates on my Vista 64-bit computer that I can find.
    I also say a post that put the path/filename in quotes when using regsvr32.  I tried registering again using the same scenarios above in system32 (regsvr32 "c:\windows\system32\hhactivex.dll") and sysWOW64 (regsvr32 "c:\windows\sysWOW64\hhactivex.dll") but still I cannot get the browse sequences/glossary to work in thses compiled .chms -- whether opening the master or the slave.
    After I registered the hhactivex.dll on a Windows XP test machine, if I opened a .chm and then went into Windows Explorer and tried to delete the hhactivex.dll, I'd get a "file in use" error.  However, when I open a .chm on my Vista 64-bit machine and try to delete the hhactivex.dll in either system32 or sysWoW64, it deletes without error.  I verified this with all of the different registering methods I described in this post (registering, testing, unregistering, moving to next folder, etc.).  Being able to delete the .dll on the Vista machine tends to make me believe that the .dll isn't really registering,  Either way, it isn't being accessed when a .chm file is opened like on a Windows XP machine.
    I've been around the internet trying to find out exactly how to register .dlls in Vista 64-bit, and unless I'm totally missing something I believe I am doing this correctly.  If I am doing something wrong, could someone guide me in the right direction with a complete step-by-step method that works in Vista 64-bit?
    I have yet to test Vista 32-bit or any version of Windows 7, but I am hoping that once I resolve the problem in Vista 64-bit that the rest will be non-issues.  I hope anyway, as I have no means to test those platforms.
    Thanks in advance for making it to the end of this long post of mine.  I appreciate any help!
    eeddings

    The 32bit version of HH.exe is kept in "C:\Windows\SysWOW64". When you double click a CHM file on a 64 bit machine, it launches the 64 bit version of hh.exe kept in C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 directory.
    To launch a CHM with 32 bit version hh.exe, run the following command in a 64 bit machine C:\Windows\SysWOW64\hh.exe <CHM file Path>
    The other good news is that you can get the 64 bit version of HHActiveX.dll in RoboHelp 9.0. It is kept at "<RoboHelp 9.0 install folder>\Redist\x64\HHActiveX.dll"
    If RoboHelp 9.0 is installed on your machine, this activeX control is already registered. Otherwise you need to register this DLL.
    To register 64bit version of HHActiveX.dll,
    1> Run Command prompt(cmd.exe) as administrator
    2> Type "regsvr32 <64 bit HHActiveX.dll full path>" and press Enter.
    3> This should show that the registration is done successfully.
    Now working with 64 bit version of HH.exe should also show Glossary and Browse Sequences.

  • What exactly do the "levels" in Browse Sequence Editor mean?

    Hi
    I have a ToC with three levels Unit > Lesson > Topic > Sub Topic. This ToC is coming from the linked FM. The ToC is paginated at Topic level and Sub Topic is basically a section within the Topic.
    Now, I wanted my users to navigate through the course at sub topic level using Browse Sequence buttons. For example, in the screenshot shared below, I want the users to move from First Sub Heading sub topic to Second Sub Heading topic using Browse Sequence buttons. I thought I could achieve this by increasing the browse sequence levels. But that is not working. So, I am curious. What do these mean? Can I actually achieve my goal at all? If browse sequence level is not the correct way, can somebody please help me with the right approach?
    Thanks

    Not really Rick. I want a new sequence to be created at Subheading level, that is, the 4th level.  I will try to explain this further.
    First level: I am on Unit 1. I click the Next button and I go to Unit 2. Works fine.
    Second Level: I am on Lesson 1 of Unit 1. I click the Next button. I go to Lesson 2 of Unit 1. Works fine.
    Third Level: I am on First-level heading of Unit 1 > Lesson 1. I click the Next button. I go to Second heading of Unit 1 > Lesson 1. Works fine.
    Fourth Level: I am on First subheading of Unit 1 > Lesson 1 > First-level heading. I click the Next button. I must go to Second subheading of Unit 1 > Lesson 1 > First-level heading (which in my case is the Conditional text book). But it does not. Instead, it jumps from First subheading to Second-level heading.
    Here is the screenshot again so that you don't have to scroll up.

  • RoboHelp HTML v9 - Browse Sequence not appearing when generated

    RoboHelp HTML v9
    New project - eg not converted from previous version
    Added a browse sequence as per the help documentation - I've followed the help documentation however when I get to view result of the generated WebHelp - the browse sequence is not present on the topic pages that were added to the browse sequence.
    I read previous forum postings for RH8 - where reinstalling or repairing the software seemed to assist - however when I access through control panel - add/remove programs the only option in to Remove RH9.
    So I thought I'd ask the question here before uninstalling.
    There was also mention of a dll file that needs to be registered on the viewers pc before the browse sequence would appear and if this is the case due to the possible audience for the publish I would not be able to control that.
    Any help is appriciated, thanks.

    Hi
    Thanks - I guess I was looking for the page icons that visualized the
    sequence for the viewer.
    That being said - the navigation arrows are present in my published file
    however seem to hold no functionality - while on a topic that is within
    the browse sequence clicking the arrows does not move through the
    sequence.
    I was initially looking for onscreen navigation  for a series of topics -
    I though browse sequence would do the trick but I think I will move to
    another method.

    Hi there
    Your mention of: "the browse sequence is not present on the topic pages
    that were added to the browse sequence" seems to imply that you are
    expecting to see the sequence directly on those pages. But that usually
    won't happen.
    Perhaps it will help to start by viewing the link below:

  • Browse sequence not working in IE 10 - works in Chrome and Firefox

    Hi all:
    I am using RH10 and generating webhelp. I have applied the recent fixes for webhelp.
    The browse sequence does not work when the webhelp is displayed with IE 10. It works when the webhelp is displayed in Chrome and Firefox. Index, Search and Glossary are working in all three browsers.
    Does this sound familiar to anybody? It seems to be a different problem from the one that was addressed by the recent fixes.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Working on a deadline and getting rather stressed....

    Do you have the latest IE patches installed? See

  • Browse sequence buttons not appearing in RoboHelp 9 .chm file

    When I first created this project two years ago, I didn't think I'd be using browse sequences. Well, of course, things change, and now I think it would be a good idea.
    I followed the instructions for creating a browse sequence automatically (Tools > Browse Sequence Editor, then Auto-create from TOC). That seemed to work.
    I compile the .chm file. No >> buttons.
    How do I enable them? I looked at the master page layout and didn't see anything there. I looked at the Project Settings (File > Project Settings) and couldn't see anything there.
    I've searched the RH 9 help and can't find any reference. My guess is that they must appear automatically and I must have, in my infinite wisdom (HA!) deleted them two years ago when I thought I didn't need them.
    Suggestions?

    Hi, MM Acton
    Allow me to chime in with my esteemed colleagues. The first issue I see is that you do not have a Window Defined. You need a window in order to select the Browse Sequence Option for the CHM.
    In Project Set Up create a new window, selecting Microsoft HTML Help as the type
    On the Microsoft HTML Help Options Dialog, give the Window a name such as "CHMWindow" (No spaces)
    Be sure to "tick" the Browse Sequence option and click OK
    Double click the Microsoft HTML Help Single Source Layout to bring up the HTML Help Options dialog
    From the Default Window drop down, select the CHMWindow you created
    Save and Generate
    This will show the browse sequence "icon avenue" (the showy icons at the top of the CHM)
    As for the Citrix thing. If the machine hosting the CHM being viewed has the HHActiveX.DLL installed, the CHM should display as advertised. Tell your Admin that Adobe licenses unlimited re-distribution of that DLL.
    You can find documentation on this redistribution license and how to register it in the online help:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/robohtml/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11aff59c2a0-7f49.ht ml
    Here is the path where you will find the DLL itself:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 10\Redist
    BTW, the reason the DLL was created in the first place is that Microsoft never provided a Browse Sequence or a Glossary tab in their "out of the box" offering so RoboHelp conveniently provides this to authors as a "extra".
    Hope this helps

  • RH8 browse sequence based on TOC not working as expected

    I have several standalone projects for which RoboHelp's browse sequence tool correctly generates the browse sequence based on the TOC using a book level of 0 (zero) so that it picks up everything in order.  If a project has books A and B (which are not themselves topics), and each book has two subtopics, A1, A2, B1, B2, the TOC-based browse sequence is A1, A2, B1, B2.  For a project I inherited (originally designed as 40 separate merged projects that I combined into a single .xpj project), "books" A and B for the example above are also topics.  When I generate the browse sequence based on the TOC using zero for the book level, instead of getting A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2, I get A, B, A1, A2, B1, B2.  The TOC runs through all 1st level items first, cycles back through all 2nd level item, then 3rd level, etc.  Has anyone seen this before?  Any ideas how to fix it?  Does the problem have anything to do with the fact that the "books" in this project are also "topics"?

    Create a new TOC and make it a copy of the existing TOC.
    Then remove the topics from the books and try again with the browse sequence.
    I don't know that will fix it but it is what I would try first.

  • Browse Sequencing Not Displaying When Help is Deployed

    I see the Browse Sequence, but when the .chm is deployed in
    the DEV environment, no other user sees it. Why would this happen?
    Thanks.

    Hi, thegup55,
    I believe you may need to install and register the file
    HHActiveX.dll in order for browse sequences and other RoboHelp
    add-ons to function. See this Knowledge Base article:

  • Is there a way to set up browse sequences for project with multiple TOCs and conditionalized modules

    I'm using RoboHelp 9 with WebHelp output.
    I've got five outputs, one of which contains Help for common functions, while the other four contain Help for licensed modules. When a user opens the Help for a licensed module, the user sees the core Help and the licensed Help. In addition, files are conditionalized so that searching for unlicensed content from a licensed Help module brings up nothing.
    I've been troubleshooting problems with the Previous Topic and Next Topic which, thanks to William, I learned are related to browse sequences. After trying assorted configurations, I've got a couple of questions:
    Does RH support only a single browse sequence in a project, even when the project has multiple outputs & TOCs?
    If RH supports only a single browse sequence, does that mean there is no way to create a unique browse sequence for each separate output?
    If RH supports multiple browse sequences, what is the workflow?
    I also maintain a 'master' TOC that contains all the modules, both common and unlicensed. What I've done for now is to autocreate a browse sequence based on the 'master TOC'. When I generate output for a licensed module, which is conditionalized, I only see the TOC for that module and, therefore, can only browse between books and subbooks in that module. I've also verified that topics that do not appear in the conditionalized module, such as for another licensed module, do not appear in the Search results list either.
    Carol

    Me again, Carol
    You also asked about the functional differences between WebHelp and WebHelp Pro, so let me elaborate.
    I'm aware of only two major differences (other than the extra benefits of feedback analytics reports and management of "Areas" with authentication in RoboHelp Server).
    The behavior of Browse Sequences as explained above
    The fact that Content Categories are not supported in WebHelp Pro for this latest version 9.
    As for the Browse Sequences you are trying to provide for different modules (licensed, etc.): Multiple Browse Sequences are included in a single .BRS file. The sequences are defined in the XML within the single file.
    As a workaround (for either WebHelp or WebHelp Pro) you could create a NGP Help.brs. which you have already created for one module; then backup and archive it. Then, create a modification for the different module before you generate again. The NGP Help.brs. will need to have the same name as your project so you will have to manage the desired .brs file into the project folder when you generate that version. All of your other choices (TOC, Index, Conditional Tags, etc.) would remain the same for the respective modules.
    Finally, I note that you are apparently generating WebHelp Pro right now even though you are not publishing it to the RH Server? This is really not the best practice. You should generate plain WebHelp for a web server that does not have RH Server on it (even though you may be getting away with it). As for your concern about "breaking" something; each output is placed in a different !SSL! folder automatically when you generate, so you should be able to generate WebHelp without interferring with the WebHelp Pro output. Then, you can re-publish to the RH Server using WebHelp Pro whenever the server is ready.

  • Browse Sequences

    Hi, I'm usine RoboHelp HTML 9, and I'm having trouble displaying the browse sequences in when I complile the WebHelp project.  I Auto-created the Browse sequences using my TOC.  When I compile and "View Results" I don't see the previous and next topic arrows.  The TOC is there along with the Contents, Index, and Search buttons.  Just the little left and right arrows are missing.  Any troubleshooting suggestions would be most welcome.  Thanks.

    Hi Christy
    Did your project begin life in an earlier version of RoboHelp? If so, that may explain why Browse Sequences seemed to fail for you.
    Are you exploiting the Content Categories feature of version 9? If so, that also may explain things.
    Indeed RoboHelp 9 brings new wrinkles to the mix with the whole Content Categories feature. New capabilities are added.
    Think of the option you see in the Navigation section as being like the master breaker in your house. You can enable or disable things globally there. And when you define different Content Categories, you may want Browse Sequences for one category but not want them for another. Or you may have defined multiple sequences and you wish to assign a different one to each category.
    I created a project from scratch and of course it didn't have a Browse Sequence. Therefore the option wasn't even available for me to turn it on. I defined a Browse Sequence and the option was enabled when I looked. I also looked in the Content Category and it was enabled there as well. This seems to suggest you either upgraded an older project and things weren't quite set as you would have expected or that someone has been playing with the settings and experimenting without fully realizing what the settings actually do or how they may interact.
    Cheers... Rick
