Creating an online help system from FM files

I have been tasked with converting a 340 page user manual in
FrameMaker into RoboHelp in order to create an online help system.
I have imported all the FM files into RoboHelp. Each Project
file is a chapter from the FM user manual and each topic is a
subchapter.
Many of the images crossed over successfully. However, many
came across blurry and others didn't come across at all, instead
appearing as a small red box.
I have been unable to figure out how to get the images that
did not come across into RoboHelp.
After compiling and viewing the primary layout - it looks
pretty good (at least to me). The font and styles in RoboHelp are
the same that were in FM.
I am VERY new to RoboHelp and have learned FM primarily
through trial and error with some outside instruction.
I need help in getting the images into RoboHelp and some
advice on whether or not I am on the right track with my online
help system.

Hi there Not User Friendly!
Can you give me an URL showing me your online help?
Im about making two huge online help systems, but im new to
Framemaker and RoboHelp.
One of them contains thousands of pages mades in Framemaker,
the other one is going to be made from scratch.
If you have any advices etc, I would welcome them a lot.
Thanks in advance

Create link to help topic from Flash file

We have started using Flash to develop our online learning
modules. So far they have been stand alone modules accessed from an
internal web site, published as .EXEs. Our latest Flash module is
related to a system for which we have an HTML help file. We'd like
to embed the Flash module in the help file b/c we want a link in
the Flash module to open a specific help topic.
I can get individual .SWFs into the help file but these Flash
modules are more complex, using many .SWFs for navigation, the TOC,
the frame, and for each interaction. In other words, the main .SWF
(or .EXE) calls many other .SWFs as the user navigates through the
module.
If I can't get the Flash module into the help file, and I can
only link to it as an external file, can a link from within a .SWF
in the Flash module open a specific help topic in the .CHM?
Any other ideas?
Thanks for your help,

Answer
no it doesn't. getURL() causes no security issues unless you
try to open the html locally and (try to) access something on the
internet.
unless your "flash site" is your local computer there is no
security issue. if your local computer is an internet server, you
just need to set the security settings for your local file and give
it permission to access the internet zone.

Online Help System for Web Apps

Hi all,
Does anyone know a good and free online help system for Java webapps, I've tried Oracle Help for the Web and it's nice, except that it won't run on WebSphere v5.1 (which is a requirement).
Thank you,

Hi Len
Basically it's like this. WebHelp is nothing more than a collection of HTML pages that each contain different "Topics". This means that each page has a unique URL which may be used to view it. Normally, WebHelp is presented with the surrounding frameset (also known as the Skin) and the Topic is shown in the Topic pane of the Frameset.
What Jeff has shown is what you might get if you just link to the URL of the topic. I say *MIGHT* because whether you see the "Show" link is configurable and you can generate WebHelp where it's not factored in.
So you have many options of linking to your help. You can link to a single topic where only that topic appears. You can link to the WebHelp generically and the end user finds their own way to the information they are looking for. You can link to a Bookmarked location inside a topic either on its own or within the frameset. And if you are using the WebHelp API, you can specify your own Window that will be used. Otherwise, your developer can create the window using their own means.
Cheers... Rick

Creating an online help screen?

I am creating documentation for my company, and the ideal way to present it would be through an online help screen. When users are connected to the website, they would click a link, and a help screen would pop up.
I can make the various pages in Dreamweaver CS5, no problem there. There will be at least 40 or 50 pages when I'm done.
But I need to do more than simply present a bunch of pages. The help screen needs a table of contents. It needs to be searchable (so users can insert a word, and be taken to any pages that contain that word). And it would be great if it could include an index and/or a glossary.
HTML Help Workshop from Microsoft would have been the perfect program to create a compiled .CFM file. I made a test file with it, and it looks great, but apparently, it's no longer possible to access this kind of file over the web, at least not in Windows.
So, I'm wondering if it would be possible to create this in Dreamweaver. Are there any tutorials that address this specific application? Does anyone know of any templates or examples that I could see?
If at all possible, I'd like to do it entirely in Dreamweaver, rather than purchasing a license for Robohelp.

It is possible as long as your server runs ColdFusion, and that can happen in either Windows or *nix.

WBS Elements not getting created in ECC Project System from CRM 7.0

Dear all,
We are trying to integrate SAP CRM 7.0 with SAP ECC-PS module. The objective is to bring in the marketing plan and elements data from the CRM system, and to create the corresponding WBS in project system. We have done most of the configuration as recommended by SAP in both the systems, and we see that the BDOCS are getting generated and sent to the ECC system. The following steps have been successfully completed:
1.       Set up the RFC connections between the two systems
2.       Selected the connection type as Middleware in CRM system.
3.       Installed the cProject Add on in CRM box.
4.       Created a project scenario (with project and network profiles) in the PS system and assigned the same in the CRM system.
5.       The Project Scenario in PS config has the same name as the Project Type in CRM config.
6.       Created and released the campaign ids being created in the CRM system.
As already mentioned, we can see that the BDOCS are coming to the ECC system and are getting stored in BDOC_TRACK table. However the issue is that the corresponding WBS elements are not getting generated in the ECC system. Is there anything that that we are missing in the ECC box which would trigger the WBS element creation?
Request you all to share your inputs which would be immensely beneficial for us in achieving this integration.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Aditya Shrivastava

Hello Aditya,
We too are facing this issue.. if you have resolved the issue could you please let us know the solution ?
Some inputs related to our system,
We have upgrade from CRM 4.0 to CRM 7.0 SP07 and R/3 backend system is on 4.7 SP27, earlier we have completed the upgrade on sandbox without any issues which was upgrade to CRM 7.0 SP04 but with SP07 we are facing the problem of WBS Element not getting created in R/3.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Sumukh Kapoor.

Web 2.0 Online Help System

Hi,
I'm currently using RH 8 to generate WebHelp for various web-based applications. Unfortunately, the help system's appearance has been deemed outdated. I've been tasked with finding an online help solution that provides a cleaner appearance with a blog-type feel that provides a web 2.0 experience. I've provided a few sample online help solutions below.
Sample solutions:
[http://support.twitter.com/ | http://support.twitter.com/] (sans tweets)
[https://support.skype.com/en/ | https://support.skype.com/en/]
I would be more than willing to update to the latest version of RH if it can deliver this type of solution. Although all suggestions are welcome, the ideal solution should not require a client installation.
Thanks!
Joe

Hi Joe
As my fellow Community Professional Craig indicated above, the two examples do appear to be themed to match other elements of the sites.
Additionally, RoboHelp 8 doesn't offer a simple "make this single option choice" sort of way to create what you are asking about. But that doesn't mean it can't be done with a bit of work. If you were to upgrade to RoboHelp 10, it offers some new HTML 5 layouts that may offer something close to what you are looking for.
If you want to stick with RoboHelp 8, what you might to to get something similar to the Twitter page would be to eliminate everything but the Search field. Then eliminate the left navigation panel. You might even need to consider using ZoomSearch as described on fellow Community Professional Peter Grainge's site at the link below:
Click here to view Peter's site
If you omit the navigation frame as earlier described, you would then need to create a "home" page with links that point to the other pages.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Create Smart Object /Frame Layer from open file in PSE8?

I'm loving the trial version of PSE 8. Several features that I don't want to live without!
One thing that I find more difficult is creating a Smart Object or a Frame Layer (did those get replaced?) from an open file. Because I digital scrapbook in different aspect ratios (12x12 for print and 15x9 for my photo frame) I want to maintain independent resolution of my pictures so I can change the crop, size etc. My regular process (pse6) is to open a bunch of pictures and elements (papers, embellishments, etc), adjust the pictures as I desire (usually Smart Fix, plus a little midtone contrast), drop the elements into a blank file or template from the layers palette so they will not be frame layers, but drop the photos in from the Open Files bin as Frame Layers. Then I simply resize the frame itself to match what I want on the page, and adjust the picture inside the frame.
With PSE 8 I found I can drop a file from "Show Files from Organizer" and they will become Smart Objects (File: Place works too). However, they have to be saved first, and I often don't save all my changes. I would like to be able to create a Smart object or Frame Layer from an open file.
Also, is there any way to change the size/zoo of the picture within a Smart Object? Or crop it? If not, does this really mean I have to crop my file, save it, and then add it as a Smart Object? Ugh. (Or create a rectangle for each SO and group them to form a clipping mask, I suppose. Either is a pain).
Any recommendations for a better workflow that maintains independence?
Thanks,
Lisa

Thank you! This is very timely as I've been playing around with digital scrapbooking a lot more. I've been having luck with using a grouped layer to "crop" the photo. This way I can actually crop out what I know I'll never use, but use the layer mask to keep some edges that I might want around.
Do you have any opinion on whether it's better to use a smart object or not? I'll try both, I guess, and see what it does to my file size.

I cannot uninstall Firefox, either through Control Panel Add/Remove or by running helper.exe from Program Files.

Nothing happens when I click on REMOVE for Mozilla Firefox from the Add/Remove screen of Control Panel. I then tried to run helper.exe from the Mozilla Firefox folder in Program Files, but that wouldn't run either. Any suggestions?

How to create a Help page from a file

Hello,
I have a new APEX application and someone made a nice help document using MS Word.
How could I inlcude that file into a Help Page, or some ideas on how this could be seen by the users?
Thanks

Hi,
Apex has a facility whereby you can create a context sensitive help page facility.
see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/bldapp_hlp.htm#CHDCDBFB
With your help document, save the section relevant to a page as a separate document and save it as a filtered web page. Edit this document in a plain text editor and cut and paste this into the help text for the page.
When you select help from the navigation bar, then this help text will be shown for the current page. To make it even fancier, you can define the link for the navigation bar to show the help page as a popup, so that you don't loose the current context in the application.
Regards
Andre

Create vendors in FI system from HR master records of the employee

Hi,
I need a help. I have tried executing the tcode PRAA i.e the program RPRAPA00 to create a vendor from HR master data.
I have maintained all the required information:
Actions (Infotype 0000)
Organizational Assignment (Infotype 0001)
Personal Data (Infotype 0002)
Permanent Residence (Infotype 0006 Subtype 1)
Bank Details (Infotype 0009 Subtype 0 or 2)
The payroll is executed but still I could not figure out, I am not able to get the desired output.
I get the the result as:
List contains no data.
Kindly let me know if there is any setting or config missing from my side.
I hav to come up with a solution soon and it is really urgent.
Thanks and regards,
Lokesh Sharma

Mate
if you pay close attention to the file name -it denotes SBX-mst be ur sandbox client
the rest is common for everyone and for me it goes like this -E:\usr\sap\D10\SYS\global\APACT where D10 is my client(goldent)
Trust me this was the 1st report i tried executing and stopped exploring it.im not able to help u on tis report.
but this is basically for automatic mapping of emp in FK01 ,experrts pls crct me if im wrong.I havnt tried this.
if you are tryng for one employee ,u can do like this
in FK01 kndly map the employee number and his name will autmatically populate .i believe u must hav done this already
along wth that FI bloke must have also mapped recon account.
FI part ends right ter .
coming to HR we map the wagetype to A/A type as K .we must have create a symbloc account with K and map it to wagetype in wagetype charcetirics.
nxt comes vendor account mapping and technical accounts
vendor account we use symbloci account we created earlier and *0002
and in technical account we use two line items 1001 and 1002 and map the g/l account.
and then when we run FS10N we can see the posting.
Mate in LFA1 if you dont find the entry then emp mapping to vendor account is missing .
pls cross check FK01..kindly work closely wth FI bloke and u can fix this soon.
No Worries

Creating an online booking system

What started off as a simple website for a coffee shop has turned into a web design project to rival Holiday Inn's Room Booking system.
First off, I am a complete newbie, the website for the coffee shop is being built using Muse, and my clients are happy to host with Business Catalyst. Last week they spring on me that they are also offering alaternative therapies with two treaments rooms on site. They now require a booking system for 6+ different therapists using 2 therapy rooms.
The client needs an online diary, which all the therapists can remotely view (from their homes or other treatment sites) so they can check availability of the rooms at the coffee shop and book where appropriate. None of the therapists are on site all the time, they will only be on the premises when they have a booking.
The simplest system I can envisage is customers email the therapists requesting a call back through the website, then the therapists go to the online calendar and book liasing with the customer themselves.
The client is currently using Google Docs, it is unclear what is actually wrong with this system? they say it's because people are using different devices!!! I need to clarify this.
Thrid party appointment booking software is expensive, a cheaper option would be to use BC and use the WebCommerce package, BUT depsite me trial testing it, I still cant see how it works. I need a simple interface, literally a VISUAL online slot booking system where the therapist can see a block on the calendar filled in. (I cannot be sure how IT savvy these therapists are!) it needs to be simple. Can this feature be created using BC? If so how?
Perosnally I don't see what is wrong with a book, pencil and telephone.

Hi Penny,
Did you figure out a way to do this booking system? I am currently looking to produce something similar?
Many Thanks.

Show us how you've read the data and what you've tried to do to parse it. Once you've got the last rows, you can loop over them using Spreadsheet String to Array (after cleaning up a few messy spaces).
Jim,
I didn't know you're that active on here.
Yes, There will always be the same number of noise header information.
