Conditional text - excluding navigational buttons

i'm running robohelp 8.0.208.
i've created a webhelp system that displays hyperlinked buttons on each topic page for previous, next and TOC.
however, i'd like for these to display only in the context-sensitive help (when a single topic is selected and viewed).
is there a way to tag these buttons so that they don't show on each topic when the user views the entire system?
any help you can give would be much appreciated!

Hello again
I'm really confused at this point. You seem to be under the impression that you must manually create things that RoboHelp is able to create for you. Then you are complaining that you thought RoboHelp was more powerful than that. So I'm missing something.
Certainly you are free to create any buttons you like in your topics. The issue seems to be that when the topic is opened on its own via a context sensitive call, you don't wish to see the buttons. Am I correct?
RoboHelp allows you to create a Browse Sequence. That sequence may mirror the TOC structure if you like and it's super simple to accomplish. When you generate WebHelp, you then choose whether to include Browse Sequences or not. If you have included the sequences, the buttons are added to the topics.
The trick is making them disappear when a context sensitive call is made. So my thought was that if you decided to generate WebHelp using a skin, the buttons no longer appear in the topics themselves. Instead, they appear in the navigation mini-toolbar that you only see when the full WebHelp frameset is loaded up. This would make them only available when the user sees the full WebHelp and they would not be present in a Context Sensitive call.
In a skinned setup you have an option of including a "Navigation pane link in topics". If this is enabled and the topic is viewed standalone (as it normally is in a Context Sensitive call) then your user sees a link they may click that opens the surrounding frameset with the topic inside. And the link then disappears when that happens.
Not sure if I've helped or only muddied the waters here. But the intent was to help... Rick

Different text in navigation buttons??

Hi!! Question for you pros out there! I'm trying to make a
navigation bar where the text is cursive for only the first letter
of each word, and standard text for the rest of the word. For
instance, in the button "Home Page," both the H and the P are in
cursive. When I create this as a button, and then change the text
for the second link, "Resources," it is displaying the 5th letter
in cursive!! Or in the link to "Buyer Info," The B and the y are in
cursive, but not the capitalized I!!! How should I make the
original symbol to accomodate all the different buttons??? If you
could help me get around this that would be great! Thanks thanks
thanks in advance!!

There is no way to do what you want with button symbols. You
can create
the text effects you want if you create the buttons manually,
however.
You can learn how by reading about the Behaviors panel in
the help files.

How do I create more than one navigation button in Adobe Fireworks CS6?

Hi guys,
Apologies if this comes across as very stupid question. I am a complete beginner with Adobe Fireworks and I'm in the process of creating my first website and I have got to the stage where I want to create navigation buttons and the book I have recommends using Adobe Fireworks so I have downloaded. My problem I have encountered is after I have created my first two state button what is the next step to create another two state button which has the identical size and colour of the previous two state button?
Here is a brief rundown of the steps I have done to do the first two state button:
1) Edit-Insert-New Button
2) Chose the rectangle and then specified the width and height of the button and chose my stroke and fill colour
3) Centred the button and used the text tool to put the button as a 'Home' button for my website. I then went on Window and Align in order to centre the text on the button
4) I went on Select-Select All and then went on Windows-States to open the states panel. I right clicked on state 1 which is Up and clicked on copy to states. I then selected the next state radio button and clicked OK.
5) I selected State 2 and slightly modified it by changing the colour of the text.
6) I then clicked the back button to return to the main window.
After this what step should I take to create my another button which has the same size, colour and text style as I have created for the first button? I tried just repeating these steps again but when I do step 1 it creates a new fireworks document which means I have to create the buttons size, colour, text style from scratch.
Your help would be greatly appreciated guys and once again I do apologise if this comes across as a silly question.
PS Please could you let me know if the steps I have taken to create the 1st two state button are correct

Initially you need to configure via the provider's own web based control panel multiple e-mail accounts. If they don't have one, work it out with their customer support to have three distinct mail accounts. Then you can setup multiple logins by adding new accounts to mail. Since mail checks all accounts per Mac OS X user account simultaneously, it probably is best to use different usernames on the same internet provider. If you don't want mail to show all the information from all three mail accounts simultaneously, configure Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts to have multiple users on your computer, and configure each of the internet service provider accounts for each separaet user on Mac OS X.

Help with Re-Linking Navigation Buttons

I have Adobe Flash CS3 Pro.
I have a navigation header flash file that came with my website template and I am having difficulty making sense of the actionscript. It has a logo section with effects, 5 main nav buttons that move, and two extra link buttons above the navigation bar. Let’s focus on just the Navigation buttons for now. Here is what I have gathered. I have multiple text buttons on one movieclip, and I have successfully edited the text for each button. If I look at the actionscript in the top layer of this movieclip I see:
“gotoAndStop(parent._parent.num);”
I also have a separate movieclip symbol (with effects) with 5 buttons layers listed in the actionscript with the following actionscript tied to each button from numbers 1 through 5:
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=1;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=2;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=3;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=4;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=5;
On the top layer of these 5 buttons I have the following actionscript:
stop();
this["item"+_root.button].gotoAndPlay("s1");
_root.link = _root.button;
I also have a separate button symbol with the following actionscript:
on (rollOver) {
            if (_root.link<>1) {
                        menu.item1.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
            if (_root.link<>1) {
                        menu.item1.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
            if (_root.link<>1) {
                        _root.menu["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
                        _root.link = 1;
                        getURL("index.html");
Now my website template came with 5 html pages that my flash navigation buttons correspond to: (index.html, index-1.html, index-2.html, index-3.html, index-4.html, index-5.html). My problem is that I have created new pages (index.html, about.html, featured.html, projects.html, contact.html). I would like each of the 5 buttons to correspond to these pages, not the existing standard “index-n.html” pages.
Also, this is probably not relevant, but each html page has something to this affect so I can see how they correspond to each button.
<script type="text/javascript">
          var fo = new FlashObject("flash/menu_vf8.swf?button=2", "head", "100%", "144", "7", "");
          fo.addParam("quality", "high");
                    fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
                        fo.addParam("scale", "noscale");
          fo.write("head");
        </script>
I guess my real question is: What actionscript do I need to update or remove for the nav button LINKS to work with my new html pages rather than the standard 5 index-n.html pages that it automatically wants to link to?
When I try and add a “getURL” command to each of the 5 buttons and test preview the movie, the links work, but it messes up the effects of the movieclip. In other words, the buttons don’t move, they are motionless, however the links work. If I added this command to each button in some way, what actionscript would I need to remove so there weren’t any complications? I need some expert help here for it would be much appreciated. I am a novice with Flash script and its killing me that I can’t figure it out. I asked for help from the template support and all they came back with was the following message and it wasn’t helpful:
You need to duplicate each button you are editing - it is very important.
2) Update the scripting to look similar way:
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
_parent["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = num;
if (num == 1) {
getURL("index.html");
} else {
getURL("index-"+Number(num-1)+".html");
Update it to:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.google.com");
Also, I read through the following discussion, which was helpful to a degree, but it still didn’t answer my questions about getting the links to work.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3614092#3614092

First of all, thank you for showing interest and helping out in my dilemma here. I wish I understood your meaning behind “on” because with my luck there is probably some hidden way of placing script on an object that I don’t understand or haven’t discovered yet.
This is what I know:
I have multiple text buttons on one movieclip entitled “textbutton1” (see previous picture), and I have successfully edited the text for each button and created two extra frames/buttons to make 7 total. If I look at the actionscript in the top layer of this movieclip I see:
“gotoAndStop(parent._parent.num);”
But there is no action on each individual frame (all 7 of them) on that layer.
Like I mentioned before I have a separate movieclip symbol (entitled “menu effect”) with 7 button movieclip layers listed in the actionscript with the following actionscript on each layer.
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=1;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=2;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=3;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=4;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=5;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=6;
onClipEvent (load) {
            num=7;
On the top layer (layer 4 frame 25) of these 5 buttons I have the following actionscript:
stop();
this["item"+_root.button].gotoAndPlay("s1");
_root.link = _root.button;
I can upload another particular image of the movieclip/actionscript if it would be helpful. Let me know.

Export a pdf to a swf file with navigation buttons???

I have CS4 and I've tried to export a couple indesign files using the swf export feature, but it the navigation of the file is very weak and not very intuitive, and when you zoom in to any of the text the text goes fuzzy.
I would like to just convert a PDF to SWF file with navigation buttons, page controls, zoom in/out, single or two page view options, so that my end user can view it with the free flash player, but I don't have time to build the file in Flash and I don't want to use an online service that comes with a per month or per publication fee.
Any suggestions??

I've looked at that, but most of the pdf's that I need to convert are more than 10 pages. I want a program I can download, install and use without a per use cost, or per publication cost.
I'm looking more for a plug-in for either Acrobat, or Indesign or stand alone program that would convert them without adding copyrights, or ads to the file.

How to build a document with conditional text

So, I created a condition for a feature that is new to my document and until it's stable, I want to hide that text. No problem. I selected the condition and from the Show/Hide Conditional Text pod, I moved it over to hide. When I created the conditional text, I gave it a background color of gray so I could easily distinguish the conditional text from the non-conditional text. However, if I leave the conditional text visible and go to generate a PDF, the gray background style appears on the conditional text in the PDF. Is there something I'm missing here when it comes to building a PDF? I don't want the style I see in the FM file to appear in the final PDF. I only want that background color as an indicator while I'm editing it. I don't want to have to remember to change the style every time I want to build with the condition visible. Here's a screenshot from the PDF. The bits in gray are what I had applied the condition to.
After selecting the book file, I tried both doing a Save as PDF and a Print Book but both options ended up with my conditional text having the gray background style in the final output.

No, you have misunderstood the problem. Yes, If I want to hide the condition so it doesn't print, that works great. But, once the feature is active (or say I have two customers, one that has the feature and one that doesn't), If I want to print the document with the conditional text visible, then I want the text but I don't want the background style that shows up in FM. The conditional style should only appear in FM, not the generated PDF.
I worked for years with Madcap's Flare and you could set the color of the conditional text in order to distinguish what text was conditioned and with what condition (different colors for different conditions). However, when you generated the output, those colors never showed up. The only thing that displayed was the text that was set to be visible. That's what I was expecting from FM. And the FM tutorials I have taken, that's what they stated should happen. Here's a transcript from the FrameMaker 10 tutorial on Lynda.com:
When we go down to the Conditional Text pod, you'll notice that we have a number of radio buttons for In, Not In, As Is, and then we also have our tags down below. So this is going to be in the US version. So we'll click the US tag. We'll change the radio button to In. You'll see the status change over here to In, and then we'll apply that by clicking the first button in our group of buttons here to apply it. Now, you'll see something change here in the document and if we deselect our text, you can see it's now blue with the overline and that's how we decided the style and color would appear for our US tags. That's not how it's going to print. It's just for our own visual purposes.

Help please with my navigation buttons

Can anyone please help me with my vertical navigation buttons. I'm trying to set up my nav bar so that all the buttons have a background image (button.jpg) behind them at all times and the only thing that changes when touched or the mouse rolls over them is that the colour of the text changes, except when the sub buttons appear, because the name of some of the sub buttons are so long i have created another button image that is longer (button2.jpg), i only want this to appear on sub buttons otherwise the buttons will end up taking most of the pages space. I'm having great difficulties getting the sub buttons to appear with the correct image (button2.jpg) and am getting increasingly frustrated with it, can anyone please help!!!
www.milesfunerals.com/index2.html

index2.html is a broken link for sure. The main index page looks like it's working fine.
A little styling critique if it's okay... Personally I'd have gone with a CSS or Javascript multi-level menu across the bottom of the header. Saves visitors from having to scroll all the way down the page to see every menu item. And I'd rethink the color of the "Miles & Daughters" in the header image. It kinda gets lost in the roses.
If you have a link to the "broken" page please put it up so we can analyze it.

Trouble with Lumia 900 navigation button not worki...

Hei guys,
This afternoon, all of a sudden, without nothing happened, my 3 navigation buttons (back, start and search) on my nokia lumia 900 stopped working. I really can't understand what happened since 2 minutes before the buttons were working perfectly and then the sensibility of the button is completely zero.
Tried to turn off the phone several times, but it didn't worked at all. Searched around the web but noone seems having the same problem. I found only one guy that posted a similar problem like mine but recieved only an answer that didn't look really helpful (turn off the phone for 3 days and see later).
All the rest of the touch screen still works perfectly, it's just the three navigation button that don't work, even tapping all the time. there's no sign of response from the phone.
I really have no idea what's happened. Did someone had a similar, if not the same problem? any suggestion how to fix it?
please help guys
Thanks.

I know this is a month old but all of a sudden this morning I begane having the exact same problem.
My troubleshooting tasks so far have been to reboot the phone about 3 times.
I have hard reset my phone with just holding the power button down (not sliding the screen when asked to). Connected it to my computer to make sure it was updated.
Deleted all new text messages (there was a bug a while back that can cause Windows 7 to lock up on certain formatted text messages. Then rebooted the phone again
Deleted all new email messages from my google account on the phone. Rebooted the phone.
And still I do not have any of my bottom buttons usable. Has anyone figurec this out yet? Every time I do something I have reboot the phone since I cannot back up or get to the home screen.

Change text for radio button

Hi all,
Can we change text of radio button in selection screen after pressing push button?
On screen, I will have push button for user to select one of two conditions, after selecting, I want radio button text be changed, for example : text > 'upload' will be changed to become 'upload sales'.
can we?
thanks
Alia

Hi alia,
1. Very simple.
2. The Important thing is
    NAME of the RADIO BUTTON.
eg. name is XYZ.
     then we can access it in program like this :
    %_XYZ_%_app_%-text = 'Hello Sir'.
(Please note the FORMAT - Its important)
3. try this code (just copy paste in new program)
IT WILL CHANGE TEXT OF RADIO BUTTONS
WHEN PUSHBUTTON IS CLICKED.
REPORT abc.
PARAMETERS : abc RADIOBUTTON GROUP g1,
             xyz RADIOBUTTON GROUP g1.
SELECTION-SCREEN : PUSHBUTTON /15(25) pb USER-COMMAND pp .
ABC, XYZ
AT SELECTION-SCREEN .
IF sy-ucomm = 'PP'.
    %_abc_%_app_%-text = 'Hello Sir'.
    %_xyz_%_app_%-text = 'How are u ?'.
ENDIF.
regards,
amit m.

Multiple Conditional Text Tags on One section

I'm composing a document with 3 conditional text tags. There
are instances where I need to conditionalize something as Tag 1 and
Tag 2 but doesn't apply for Tag 3. Robohelp seems to allow me to
apply 2 tags to one section of text, but when I generate my .chm it
doesn't include anything that has been given two tags. Is there a
way for robohelp to support this?
Is there something I should be doing differently?
I'm using Robohelp 5X.
Thanks,

Harvey,
I think you may have misunderstood me. If you apply tags A
and B to some text, and you build an exclusionary expression like
"NOT A," the text will
not appear in the output. (See rule #1 in my exclusionary
list: any text tagged with an excluded tag will be excluded, even
if other tags are applied.) If you build an inclusionary expression
like "B," the text
will appear. (See rule #1 in my inclusionary list: any text
tagged with an included tag will be included, even if other tags
are applied.)
So I don't think "include trumps exclude" in this sense. But
consider the following expressions in a 3-tag environment:
* A OR B
* NOT C
Logically, these might seem equivalent. But they aren't, and
RoboHelp doesn't treat them as equivalent. Let's assume that you've
created every possible set of tag combinations for this project: A,
B, C, A and B, A and C, B and C, all 3 tags (A, B, and C), and
untagged. Here's a look at what would be included in the output for
each build expression:
A OR B:
A
B
A and B
A and C
B and C
A, B, and C
Untagged text
NOT C:
A
B
A and B
Untagged text
When people say that RoboHelp's boolean operators "don't work
right," I think they mean that expressions that seem logically
equivalent (such as these two) produce different output. Without an
understanding of how the rules are applied, a user can easily build
expressions that seem right but produce the "wrong" output. In
fact, the output is correct according to the rules.
Again, I wouldn't say that "include trumps exclude," although
I think I understand what you're getting at. The difference lies in
the application of rule #1.
I tested a simple 3-tag environment yesterday with printed
documentation and CHM files, and the expressions worked as
indicated. I didn't try WebHelp, but I've used similar expressions
before, and I feel comfortable saying that WebHelp will also work
as I've described it. Also, note that we're dealing with very
simple expressions here; complicated expressions require more care.
But most RH users can generate the desired output with a few simple
expressions. Especially inclusionary expressions.

TCS3 Index ToolsPro conditional text problem

I'm using Index ToolsPro to handle the index in my current project. This creates the conditional text setting, which is then imported into the RH project as a conditional build tag. This is used by default in RH to hide the Index ToolsPro index entries. However, I've had an issue with bulleted lists.
If the entry is in a list entry, the conditional text setting also includes the bullet and space up to the beginning of the list entry, which means the bullet is removed from the help.
Ive attached a screen shot to show what I mean.
Is anyone else using Index ToolsPro and having issues like this?
Mark

Hi Nancy:
I had thought that the ".." was inserted by Dreamweaver to establish a relative path to the style-sheets. When I implemented it, I found a slightly different rendering as follows:
What I can't seem to understand is why the blue gradient background from the general style-sheet is being incorporated into the rendering of the conditional IE-6 style-sheet that specifies that no background image be used, and instead that the background color be rendered as #FFF. Still this is somewhat of an improvement since the appropriate button images, and name plate and logo have been used. What is mystifying is that it is selective in what it incorporates.
Any further suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks,
Steve.

Slideshow navigation buttons

I've created Photoshop buttons with three layers, 1 is normal 2, is mouseover and 3 in mousedown.
I've inserted a blank slideshow and imported both buttons which sit side by side.
I've copied each button then replaced the navigation < and > text in the default slideshow. This works when I preview the page in the browser. When I publish the site to BC the right-hand buton doesn't perform properly and the mousedown and mouseover states swap. Also the navigation buttons don't align with the top of the slideshow after publishing as they do when previewed.
I previously had a lot of problems trying to achieve this when pasting the Photoshop button into place the program terminated (crashed) with an error message, something to do with 'an object with null'. I deleted the page and started again, now I can't get the program to crash to get the exact message.
The page where the problem occurs is:
http://rtc-training.businesscatalyst.com/security-manager.html

Thought I'd try removing one of the states (layers) in the Photoshop file then Published to BC. Didn't like the result so decided to retrieve the buttons with 3 layers from my backup disc. Replaced the files on my Mac, opened Muse and automatically updated the linked items. Published again and now everything is working as it should. Puzzled but happy.

Language translation of Condition text

Hi Friends,
I am working on an Implementation Project & would need your inputs on the following requirement:
Condition Texts are maintained in ECC at a Condition Record level. This is maintained in English and would be uploaded using a BDC / LSMW program. The client requires this Condition Text to be translated in the end user Log In language i.e, When we login to the SAP system with French language, we should be able to see text in french language and similarly for other languages too.
Is there any SAP OSS note / standard FM which can be used to address this Condition Text translation? Any help from your end would be most encouraging.
Thanks & regards

Hi Manish,
The required texts are stored in table TMC1T.
And here is the description how to maintain and transport the condition
table description:
1. Logon in language, where the description is missing (e.g. German).
2. Tranaction V/04, enter the table number
   ->ENTER
3. Either enter a text into the description field (next to the table
   number) or you press the button 'Text vorschlagen/pflegen'
   ('Propose/maintain text') at the right-hand side. This proposes the
   short text of the (variable) key fields as table descripiton.
4. Press the 'Generieren' ('Generate') button at the top left-hand side.
   Now you can save your changes.
5. Transaction SE09: Here you can see the transport request with the
   transportation objects R3TR VKOI A*** and R3TR VKOS A***.
   The TMC1T table entries are part of the VKOI transportation object.
   So if you release the transport, the desciption will also be
   transported.
I hope this information is helpful.
Thanks,
Alex

Menu navigation buttons do not appear when viewing page on iPhone

My webpage shows the menu navigation buttons on all browsers and platforms but when viewing on an iPhone they are not there. Hence you cannot view other pages. Is this a restriction of pages created in iWeb or am I doing something wrong?
I have trawled through the discussion forum and tried tips such as the height of the menu bar from the top on the page, pixel width and making sure the menu box is at the front or brought forward.
my website is www.sussexgolfcaptains.org

This may or may not be of interest, but some site builders (such as weebly.com) are mobile friendly — click here:

Also, unlike sites made with iWeb, Weebly sites respond to desktop Safari's +View > Zoom In+ command — this is helpful for many who don't have perfect eyesight for reading small text. (iWeb's default font sizes are relatively small.)

Hardware navigation buttons dark after Denim updat...

After the recent Denim Update, the hardware navigation buttons on my Lumia 930 no longer light up. I tried all combinations of brightness and battery saver settings but to no avail. Also a soft reset didn't help.
It's unlikely a hardware issue because the button lighting was fine until right before the update. Also, the ambient light sensor seems to be OK, because the display brightness still changes when the lighting conditions change.
Anyone else having this problem? I found quite a few similar reports in German forums, BTW.
OS Version: 8.10.14219.341
Firmware Version: 02540.00019.14484.37006
Hardware Version: 2.0.0.2

Hi everyone,
Thanks for sharing this with us. Since you mentioned that this started to happen after the Lumia Denim update, let's try performing some troubleshooting steps to further isolate the issue. Have you tried rebooting your phones?
For Nokia Lumia 625 / 625H / 530 / 530 Dual SIM / 630 / 630 Dual SIM / 635 / 636 / 930 / 1320 / 1520: Press and hold the power key for about 10 seconds. The phone restarts.
If the issue remains, you can reset the phone by going to Settings > about > reset your phone. As this will delete all your stored files, we recommend creating a backup file: Back up my stuff. Keep us posted with the outcome.
