Conditional Build Topics Do Not Display as Expected

I created a conditional build tag and selected specific
topics to build for my first version, but all of the topics keep
showing up. Has anyone had trouble getting specific topics to
display when creating conditional build tags? I need a resolution.
Your help is appreciated!

Hi there
Your thread seems as if you are using Conditional tagging to
ensure topics appear. While it's possible to accomplish, it's a bit
on the tricksy side. You will likely have much better luck if you
use tagging to *EXCLUDE* topics.
Keep in mind that any topic with no tag associated is
automatically included by default.
For example, lets say you have two topics. One aimed at a US
target and one aimed at a UK target. You would use two tags.
Perhaps naming one UK and the other US. You then apply the US tag
to any topic with a US target and the UK tag to any topic with a UK
target. Then you choose to exclude one or the other. So if your
output is intended for a UK audience, the build expression is NOT
US. Likewise, for a US audience, the build expression is NOT UK.
Cheers... Rick

TOC Topic content not displayed in WYSIWYG Editor

I use RoboHelp X5. When I click a topic in the TOC pane I
expect to see its contents displayed in the WYSIWYG Editor. Instead
the WYSIWYG pane is grey and the TrueCode pane is blank with a
cursor flashing on the upper left corner!
I searched for some similar issue on this forum and could not
find it. However, I did gather that I could use another editor by
right clicking a topic when in the Project tab and selecting one of
5-6 editors. I tried RoboHelp TrueCode and was amazed and relieved
to see the code and content for the topic displayed in the TrueCode
pane...so I went a step further and tried the WYSIWYG editor and
wonder of wonders, the topic content was displayed.
Can someone please tell me what is going on? Should I
reinstall RoboHelp X5? Why does the topic content not display when
I click the topic from the TOC tab?

Welcome to the forum.
There have been posts about this but maybe your forum search
history is not set to go back far enough.
Rather than right click and selecting RH True Code, at the
bottom of the editing pane there is a true code tab which will
quickly enable you to see your code is still safe. That said, if
you then click WYSIWYG, you don't get the view restored, usually.
Maybe your way has an advantage.
It's one of those things that happens now and again. I don't
think reinstalling will help. I have had it happen several times in
a day and then you go months with it working just fine.
I don't believe anyone has ever lost any data. At worst you
just have to close RH and reopen it.
For what it is worth, I haven't seen this happen in RH7.

Help topics are not displaying when using Windows 7 / IE 9 / RH10

We recently upgraded our library from RH8 to RH10. Also used a trial version of RH9 in this process. Now when we compile several of the projects have issues where help topics do not display when selected in the TOC or when a link to the topic is clicked within another internal topic. It is in a continous loop in the browser (like it is trying to load). If you right-click on the topic it displays (we are currently using this as the work-around). Anyone else having this problem?? I saw something similiar for Windows8/IE10, but the fix does not apply here (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5138909#5138909#5138909).

Hi,
I (April) apologize I have been OOO and have not been able to respond to your replies.
Let’s start over.
We have an issue where help topics do not display when selected in the TOC or when a link to the topic is clicked within another internal topic. It is in a continous loop in the browser (flickering like it is trying to load). If you right-click on the topic it displays (we are currently using this as the work-around).
We use Windows 7, IE9 and RH10 for all our projects. (Recently upgraded from RH8 to RH10)
Turns out the problem is not isolated. I have run across it in at least one other project, which leads me to think it also occurs in others.
"Does this only occur when the help is called from your software? Is it OK if you double click the start page?"
          No. I it ALSO occurs when launched from the start page.
Have you tried deleting the CPD file and reopening Rh and the project?
          Yes, without success.
Are you using any redirects?
          Per (Adrienne), “I am not using any redirects. I encounter this issue only in IE. If I paste the .htm into a Firefox browser, the help displays as it should.”
          I will add that the project also displays incorrectly in Google Chrome.
Thanks April

Hi,
Records are not displaying as expected.

Please help me on this.

Records are not displaying as expected.Well, it certainly displays as I'd expect it to. i.e. in an undetermined order.
If you want the output of a query to come out in a specific order then you must use an ORDER BY clause in your query, otherwise you are just querying a set of data and there is no order to it. You cannot assume that the order of the data will be the order in which you union your queries together, that's not how SQL works, as SQL is designed to work on sets of data, not on sequential rows.
So, in your example you would want something along the lines of:
select Details from (
SELECT 1 as ord, '1. Emp Detail ' Details from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 2, empno||ename details dfrom emp UNION ALL
SELECT 3, '1. Dept Detail ' Details from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 4, deptno||dname details from dept UNION ALL
SELECT 5, '1. Location Detail ' Details from dual UNION ALL
SELECT 6, locationcode||locationname details from location
order by ord, details

RH 10 - chm opens but topics are not displaying

Hi,
I generated a chm file, and save it on our network drive for others to open and review. When they open it, the topics are not displaying. Should it work that way? Should the chm be on my local machine for it to display the topics properly?
Thanks in advance!

Are you using Chrome? Try opening it in MSIE and see if it opens properly. From my experience the Chrome bug seems to be fixed – but perhaps not?

Help topics are not displaying when using Windows 8/IE 10

I have a WebHelp system created in RoboHelp 7. When opening that Help from our application using Windows 8 with Internet Explorer 10 and allowing blocked content, the Help topics do not display in the right pane when clicking a topic from the Contents in the left pane. Below are the steps:
1. Open the Help system from the Help menu within the application.
2. The Allow Blocked Content displays and I allow it.
3. The Help opens and if I click a topic from the TOC in the left pane, the topic doesn't display in the right pane.
A workaround we found was to widen the left pane and the topic then displays. Also, if you don't allow blocked content, this issue doesn't happen. However, I need to allow blocked content in order for PDFs within the Help to open properly and also because the Search doesn't display without allowing blocked content.
We also tested this with a Help system that was created using Robohelp 9 and have the same issue. I'm wondering if RoboHelp 10 would solve this problem.
Does anyone know if IE 10 requires Help systems to be created in RoboHelp 10 to work properly, at least when allowing blocked content?

It seems to be time for the old divide and conquer approach.
Zip up the project so you have a copy that cannot accidentally be opened and worked on. That gives you a copy that you can safely revert to later if needed. Save the zip file somewhere safe.
Then create another copy of the project so that you have two copies that can be worked on.
Open Copy 1 and delete half the topics. Ignore any broken links reported. Generate the help from that copy.
Open Copy 2 and delete the other half of the topics. Generate the help from that copy.
It should be the case that one copy is now OK and one still has the problem.
Trash the good copy and then create a second copy of the copy with the problem.
Repeat the process until you have located whatever is causing the problem.
The process takes less time than you might think.

Robo 8 Topic files not displaying in project manager

I am working on a project upgrade and have made new topics in Robo 8 project. When I view the topic files for a particular folder in the Project Manager view only 1/2 of my topics are displayed.. When I look in the folder (behind the scenes), all my topics are there, just not displayed in the Project Manager. What do I need to do? Thanks!.

Peter,
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
I have a project that I tested with RH 8.0.2.208 using the following steps/results.
October 5, 2009 – last date the project was modified – based on the modified date of *.htm files and *.xpj file.
Copied the project.
Opened the copy using *.xpj.
Broken links exist.
Opened a 10-5-2009 copy of the actual HTML help file. Checked one broken link topic. The topic exists in the output and looks correct.
Copied the project again.
Deleted *.cpd.
Open the new copy using *.xpj.
Broken links exist.
Generated (HTML) primary output.
Checked one broken link topic (same as above). Topic content exists, but the screen captures in the topic do not. A red x appears in place of the screen captures.
I do not know how to uninstall only the patch. I looked at Add or Remove programs, and I do not see a stand alone entry for the patch.
To uninstall the patch, do I have to completely uninstall RH 8.0.2 and reinstall the older version fresh? That seems like a major bother. An uninstall and fresh install of the earlier version will likely eliminate some styles and other settings that I have saved.
Is there a way to uninstall just the patch?
As an alternative to uninstalling 8.0.2, I opened a fresh copy of the project (last modified 10-5-2009) on a machine with RH 8.0.203 installed, i.e., a machine without the patches installed.
There were no problem with the project, i.e., no broken links.

Spry image slideshow not displaying as expected

Hoping someone in this forum can help, as I have previously posted this problem in the Spry forum, but I only got one answer and it didn't seem to fix the problem.
I used the widget browser to place a copy of the 'spry image slideshow with filmstrip' widget on to one of my web pages. When this page displays, there is a big gap (like excess padding) above the main image (between the outer frame and the main image frame). I can't see why this is happening or what bit of HTML/CSS to tweak to sort it out.
I have uploaded my test page to the server and you can see it here:
http://www.hebrideansheep.org.uk/test_gallery.html
any and all help gratefully received.
John

The problem lies with stylesheet.css. If you delete that, you will see that the slideshow will display as expected.
When doing a layout for the page, just look at the basics. In your case you have got a header, a sidebar, main content and a footer, all within a width of 960px and centered within the viewport. The basic CSS for the layout would look like
/* CSS Document */
html {
    margin: 0px;
    color: #666;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-family: Arial;
    background: #666 url(images/page_bkgd.jpg) repeat-x;
body {
    width: 960px;
    margin: auto;
    background: #FFF url(images/content_bkgd_tile.jpg) repeat-y;
#header {
    height: 180px;
    background: #4971a2 url(images/banner_bkgd.jpg) no-repeat;
#aside {
    width: 20%;
    float: left;
    /*----for this example only*/
    background: #cfcfcf;
    min-height: 400px;
    /*----end for this example only*/
#article {
    width: 80%;
    float: left;
    min-height: 400px; /*for this example only*/
#footer {
    clear: both;
    height: 88px;
    background: #cfcfcf url(images/footer_bkgd.jpg) no-repeat;
The HTML will look like
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="untitled.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<h1>My Header</h1>
</div>
<div id="aside">
    My Menu Bar
</div>
<div id="article">
    this is where the slideshow goes
</div>
<div id="footer">
    my copyright etc
</div>
</body>
</html>

Conditional Format Icon Sets not Displaying after SharePoint Update

We have a SharePoint 2013 site, and after we applied the update below, the conditional formatting for our primary dashboard no longer appears in Excel Services. We have three different versions of the file and all have been
affected. I have tried removing all of the conditional formatting, and re-applying it, but it does not work.
If the files are opened in Excel, they look perfect. A blank, new file with the same conditional formatting rules work fine.
Any thoughts on how to correct the issue??
SharePoint 2013 CU October.

Hi Barbara,
According to your description, my understanding is that the icon sets cannot be displayed in Excel files after installing SharePoint 2013 October CU.
The link to download the SharePoint 2013 October CU is not correct, it is October CU for SharePoint 2010.
I recommend to check the build number of your database to see if the right October CU for SharePoint 2013 is installed.
Here is the link of October CU for SharePoint 2013:

Topics are not displaying in TOC - RH10

I've created new styles for Chapter Title, Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3 (I didn't use the existing styles for Headings).
I applied these styles to one topic following this hierarchy:
Chapter Title
Heading 1
Heading 2
Result: When I generated a printed document, only the Chapters (e.g., Chapter 1, Chapter 2) were displayed in the TOC. The "About this manual" and the sub-headings that I created (Heading 1, Heading 2) for that specific topic didn't appear.
Would really appreciate help. Thanks in advance!

Sorry Jeff but RoboHelp can create documents that will suit many users. Your way will give you more control over the printed document and the standards you need but then you have less control over the online help than the person working RoboHelp. "Horses for courses."
It looks to me as it may be as simple as checking the print dialog. On the first page there is an Advanced button. Click that and there is a field "Limit TOC depth". Maybe that is set to 1 and maybe later in the dialogs the Maintain HTML Levels is not selected. That would have the result described.

PhoneGap Build Dreamweaver Extension not displaying correct build state

Starting yesterday the PhoneGap Build Dreamweaver Extension doesn't display the correct build state for Android or Symbian after clicking "Rebuild Application". They always show as Build Queued but if you look at the build.phonegap.com site they have completed the build. I have tried loging out of the screen and logging back in. I have tried closing out of Dreamweaver and reopening. Both sections display correctly until the next time you hit "Rebuild Application".

Ok.
I backed up PGB and deleted the folder.
I created a new empty site and submitted it to Build. Once I reached the Key screen asking for your iOS, Android and Blackberry keys, I clicked continue and recieved the attached error.
I then clicked ok and it added a index.html and config.xml to the empty site. No matter how many times I clicked OK this error would not go away. So then I closed out of dreamweaver and reopened submitted the build again this time I made it past the Key screen but it said I had exceeded the number of Build projects I am allowed. A Project Settings file was never created for the new empty project.
I will send the Project Settings file for the project I am having issues with and the original PGB and the new PGB.

Updated information in WebHelp topics does not display in IE8

We recently updated some help topics for our web portal and published the updated help system to our QA environment.
Users running Internet Explorer 8 cannot see the updated content in the help topics. They can see the help topics and navigating the help system with no problems--they just can't see the updated content inside the affected topics.
We've had users change their Compatibility View settings and clear their browser's cache, but those steps have not solved the problem. Has anyone encountered this problem or have a suggestion on how to resolve it?
Thanks!
RoboHelp Version: 10.0.0.287
Output: WebHelp

Hi there
One thing to check is to see if the content is actually present on the page. I did some training up in Detroit where they claimed updates were not being "seen". Seems the updates were indeed present on the page, but because of some formatting issues that had been present all along, an IE upgrade changed the visibility of the content. The content was indeed there, but IE was not rendering it as visible.
If memory serves, you could select the content and it would appear.
I'd first try right-clicking and viewing source to see if the content is present. If so, you are seeing the same thing I found. It will then be a matter of examining the CSS tagging on the content in the page. If that's the case, you will find you need do do some cleanup of the CSS to make things work.
If the content isn't even in the source, it sounds to me that you may be looking at a cached version of the page.
Cheers... Rick

Name Sort -List View- Not Displaying As Expected

If I create several folders inside a main folder that is sorted by name - ascending - I get odd results in terms of the sort order - it seems to be dependent upon the length of the string - or actual numeric real numer (4444 is bigger than 888) in addition to the alphabetical aspects - especially when dealing with numbers only. For example - this is the order I get with the following folder names:
1
7
8
77
888
4444
11111
Q: What is a logic behind this odd sorting order? is there any way to control it? I would prefer that it would be more alphabetical - for example anything that starts with the number one would be together like:
1
11111
4444
7
77
8
888 ..... this type of thing etc.....

Thanks for the info Malcolm & Tom.
From: How Finder lists items that are sorted by name (Mac OS X)
Location: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300989
Note: If you select all these items in the Finder window (Command-A), copy their names to the Clipboard (Command-C), and then paste them into a text document (or email), they will appear in a slightly different order.
Q: What is the logic behind this 'slightly different order'?

Website not displaying as expected

A website (blog - http://www.womenscommunallivingproject.com ) that works ok on someone else's ipad, is not working on mine. I've deleted my bookmark, powered-off, and searched for it again - but it is still showing empty pages and missing information. What else can I try to be able to see the website properly?

Any ideas, anyone?
