Displaying TOC topics in frame

Using RoboHelp X5, I've created a frameset comprising two
frames - a static no scroll top frame and a dynamic bottom frame
which must display the topic clicked on the TOC. When I click a TOC
topic in the compiled Help, it opens in the bottom frame and no
sign of the top frame. I've set the TOC topic to open in my
customized bottom frame using the Advanced tab on the TOC topic
Properties dilaog but nothing... Am I missing something here?
I would appreciate some knowledge of how to display TOC
topics using a frameset as this is my first tim with framesets.
Please help!

There are also a couple third party tools that could be used to help with this need. Two of my favorite are:

Display in a browser Frame

I want to display content into a frame and NOT a new window or self.
How do I do that.
I see through the getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(s1), targetWindow) call, I can display a page. However, what I dont
know how to do is to display an URL to a frame WITHIN a page.
For example, we have the Parent page, with 2 frame references.
I want the 1 frame to display content into the frame of the second.
Both of which has the same parent.

If targetWindow is the name of your frame, it should display the URL content in that frame. You have given names to each frame in the FRAMESET, haven't you ?
Something like :
<FRAMESET...>
<FRAME name="upperFrame">...
<FRAME name="lowerFrame">...
</FRAMESET>
So, getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(s1), "upperFrame") should send the content of s1 into the upperFrame.

Some .htm file not displaying in Topic List, but displaying in RH11 folder

Hi All,
We are running a project using RH 11, team consist of 3 person (include me)
But we have problem with many .htm file from my 1st coworker, file not displaying in Topic List in my Robohelp and 2nd coworker.
Although we already get the latest file again and again
But .htm file displaying in all our RH11 folder.
In my 1st coworker RH, all file displaying in Topic List also RH11 folder, but when file generated then
Many files from 1st coworker, hyperlink is not working well (broken link / file not found)
Does anyone have experience about this problem
Thanks

First of all, make sure you do not have the following files in source control: .cpd, .pss, .ldb.
These files contain local information that can cause problems when in source control.
Then try this:
Everyone deletes the .cpd file.
Everyone gets the latest files for the whole project from source control.
Open the project.
Does everything now display correctly?
If yes, you need to make sure you delete the cpd file before opening the project each day, and also during the day if you know a co-worker has made changes that you need. This file is a database which includes a list of all the files Robohelp knows about. When other people are adding and removing files, this information no longer matches properly. I recommend doing a Get Latest in these situations as well, just to make sure Robohelp can find the correct information.
If you are still not seeing the correct files repeat the above process, but at step 2, pick the options to Overwrite local files. I can't say where you will see these options - they may be two checkboxes in a dialog box when you select Get Latest - it will depend on your source control application.
Hope this helps.

How to take input in one frame and display it in other frame of same page?

I need to take input (text) for the comment field in one of the frames and when submit button is pressed it should be displayed in the other frame on the same page.
I am able to get the input from the user but its not reflected in the other frame which basically is a table...............so let me know if you guys have any suggestions
I used following code
<form name="input" action="<%= base_url %>/index.jsp?yr=<%= y %>&mon=<%= m %>&day=<%= d %>" method="post">
Comment:
<input type="text" name="comment" size="20"/>

The trick is to define paintComponent to all applicable panels and pass the Graphics parameter to a separate method which does the drawing for you.
class Component1 extends JPanel
   //blah blah blah - put your code here
   public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
      //insert setup functions here
      paintStuff(g);
   //more arbitary code
   public void paintStuff(Graphics g)
      //do your drawing here
}And you would usually want to separate your UI components from the drawing so it doesn't intefere with the client's perception of the program. In other words, don't draw on the content pane, draw on a custom panel and add it to an appropriate part of the content pane.

Is it possible to prevent the See Also function from displaying the topic window when only one "see also" topic exists?

When you have several topics assigned to a see also button,
the see also button displays several topics within the pop-up
window in the compiled help. However, if you have only one see also
topic assigned to the button, the button automatically displays the
topic window for that topic. The first time I saw this, I thought
it was a bug. When I've asked other people to test my help
projects, they also think this is a bug.
Is it possible to "make" the see also function display the
pop-up window, regardless of how many topics are assigned to the
button?
thanks in advance,
ChristyG

Are you sure that you can change the permissions of symlinks themselves? I think I've tried to make files read-only via symlinks on a local server but ended up using bindfs because it wasn't possible. Even if you can, symlinking everything that might be necessary for a given environment would not be ideal, plus I don't think symlinks can be used across different filesystems.
If a real-life human can figure out if it's he/she is in a chroot and break out of it, then he/she can write a script to do the same. I want a sandbox that could run malicious code with no effect on the system (if that's possible). Also, I think if the chroot idea were truly feasible, makepkg would have been using it for years already to simply install packages in the chroot as you normally would and then package them. There would also be several sandbox applications that could run applications safely. So far I have yet to find any.
I admit that I haven't looked into using a chroot in detail though and of course I may have missed some application which creates such a setup. Right now I think using per-application namespaces with fuse seems the most promising but I won't know until I've finished implementing a test application. If it turns out that it's a dead end I'll take harder look at chroot but it really doesn't seem to be able to do what I want.

How do I display the topic status in the published topic

We are using RoboHelp HTML 7. I would like to be able to set
the Status of a topic to "Ready for Review" and then have that
status visible in the topic when it is published, so that I can
send the generated help files to reviewers/testers and they can see
which topics are ready for review/test. Is there an easy way to do
this?
I have a template which is applied to all the topics, but I
can't understand if it is possible to add a field in the template
that displays the topic status property. Can it be done? Or is
there another way?
And, as an aside, is it possible to change the default
Statuses? For example, to add "Ready for Translation" as a status
option.

Welcome to the community,
The functionality you are asking is not provided by RoboHelp
7. But RoboHelp 8 provides a very good support for writing user
specific scripts. The specific need can be easily be fulfilled
using the Scripting support in RoboHelp8. I have written a sample
script file which does the work whatever was specified by you here.
I am attaching the code for the script file along with this reply.
If You dont have RH8, I really recommend you to download the trial
version of RH8 and try out the new scripting feature provided with
RH8. User can do many more things with scripting.
You just need to download the file provided in the link and
go to the scripting pod in RH8 and import that jsx file in pod,
right click on the imported script file and say Run script and this
will do all the work what you said.
Again as you asked you can use this script to update the
topic and generate the output and publish to the server in one go.(
I have not added the generation code for the time being, but it is
easy enough to do that as well).
You can modify this script as per your need and requirement.
Do let me know of issues if any with script usage?

Displaying applet in separate frame

hi!
i am using following code to display applet in separate frame.
<applet
ARCHIVE="applet.jar"
CODE="applet.class"
WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=600>
<param name="config" value="applet.conf">
<PARAM NAME="sepframe" value="true">
</applet>
so the applet gets displayed in separate frame. but at the same time.
i also see a 'gray area ' on my jsp page. how do i remove that?
thanks
bandya

maybe if you try something like this
<applet ... WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0>
</applet>
the frame should open according to preferedSize of the applet
so in the applet code just set the prefferedSize to 600x600

Displaying help topics in SharePoint 2013

Can I change the icon for a TOC topic?

I would like to change the TOC topic icon for certain topics within my project. So any topic that includes a video includes a particular icon. Can this be done?
I'm currently using Robohelp 10 but I could upgrade to 11 if that would help. The project is output to WebHelp. Thanks!

Hi there
Well, this is a yes and no answer.
Yes, you could change an icon, But no, RoboHelp won't make it easy. What you will end up doing is massaging the JavaScript code for the WebHelp output. This particular change isn't really for the faint of heart. Oh, and you would likely have to change it each time you generate your WebHelp output.
I would encourage you (and others) to consider submitting a Wish Form to ask Adobe to put this on their radar for a future version.

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.

Display remote topic in new window with remote project TOC?

Although I've used RoboHelp for several years, I'm self-taught and work independently, so would have to classify myself as a beginning user. I'm using RoboHelp HTML 6.0 and Windows XP Professional.
My question is this: I know how to link to a topic in a remote project, but is there a way to display the remote topic in a new help window with its own (remote project's) TOC? I've attached an illustration. Here's the background, if you need it, and why I think I want to do this:
The company I'm working with previously provided user assistance via three printed manuals: a Setup Guide, a User's Guide, and an Administrator's Guide. The first project I completed for them was to convert the information in the User's and Administrator's Guides into a single online help system. We combined the two because their users are generally smaller companies where the "users" and the "administrators" are often the same people. The Help is deployed as a .chm file on the same CD with software updates.
The next step we are taking is to transform the Setup Guide to online help. It will be context-sensitive (screen-level) help for each of the 80 or so setup screens that a new user of their software should complete to tailor the application to their business practices and get the most out of it. Obviously users will need a higher level of access rights to be able to perform or make changes to the setup. However we still want to be able to cross-reference the user's help and the setup help, so that the relationship between specific setup choices and functionality is clear and adjustments can easily be made, if necessary, as they gain more experience with the software. For example, a user feels a need for an additional customer description code on a customer profile page. The user presses F1 to view Help for the page, the Help tells them exactly on which setup screen those codes are created, and they can follow the link to those instructions if they want to.
I want these two help systems to be accessible to each other and the user, and yet retain their separate identities. I don't think I want Setup to appear as yet another book in the User's Table of Contents, which is already somewhat overwhelming. So far I have written it as a separate RH project, knowing that I can import topics to the User help if I need to. Thanks in advance for your help! And don't forget I'm a relative newbie to RH. Thanks!

I got the new window to open up with the new CHM now...
As a follow up, it seems I need to define the new window with
the specific TOC and Index of the new CHM. I there a way to define
a window that picks up the related TOC and Index of the chm that it
opens(in this way, a single window type gets created, so that when
I get a new subsytem, I do not have to keep adding/creating new
windows, which makes me have to redistribute the main system
help...which is what I am trying to avoid)

Click TOC topic. Topic page loads in TOC frame.

I've been testing a simple help application. When I select a topic from the table of contents (TOC), the corresponding topic loads in the TOC section. My observations follow:
Created using Rh 10
Problem occurs on client running XP Professional SP3, Chrome (latest version - 23.0.1271.97)
Problem does not occur on same client when using IE8.
I haven't been able to duplicate the problem elsewhere (i.e., on other systems)
Any ideas?
Thank you,
-bruce.

Sounds like you're running into the classic Chrome "Security Fix" issue - see grainge.org (google "chrome") to see workarounds

Page will not display properly with inline Frames

I have a html page that will not display properly in Dreamweaver. I have a basic understanding of html and want to be able to edit a website in Dreamweaver that was given to me. It looks fine in a browser, but in Dreamweaver some of the content is missing and displays the following message, "Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline Frames". I was able to open it without any problems using Microsoft Front Page, so is it possible to view and edit it in Dreamweaver?

Without seeing your page, I'm guessing that your page contains server-side includes, iframes and scripts to other files on the server that populate page with content on the server's end. You can't see it in DW because you don't have all the files in your DW local site folder. You said this views fine in FP. Was your page created in FP with FP proprietary tools?

Display Pdf report on Frame using iText library

Hi,
I am able to generate pdf reports using iText library. but i want to display these generated pdf into frame. can u please help for this.
this is web based application. Through servlet i am generating the pdf report using iText library. I am waiting for your reply ....

Does this PDF file absolutely need to be displayed within a JFrame? You say you are generating this document on the server side, so if this is a web application, what I might do is place the generated document on directory accessible through http, then on the client browser side open a pop-up browser window with a URL to the PDF document.
Most browsers have a PDF viewer plugin of some kind.
If this is a swing application then you can do the same thing but instead of redirecting the browser to the PDF file you can use iText to convert the PDF document to an RTF document and use an RTFEditorKit within a JEditorPane to display the same document in RTF format.
