Index tab displays no keywords

RoboHelp for Word Version 5
When RoboHelp broke our Help (images did not display), we rolled back to 5 to meet our deadline and troubleshoot later.
WinHelp works as before; however, now when we compile WebHelp, the Index tab displays no keywords below the word wheel.
When I type in the word wheel, I see some keywords in a popup list, but when I select a keyword, it neither appears in results below nor displays the relevant topics to the right.
Please help.

Hi aecspades and welcome to the RH community.
This could be because the index keywords have not be added to the project's index file. If you go into your project settings (File > Project Settings) you'll find an option there which I bet is set to add keywords to the topics. For the index tab to display you must have keywords added to the HHK file.

What Help Viewer Component Enables Index tab?

A customer of ours has a problem with any .chm help file not displaying their index contents properly (showing up as blank). In our app, we have a Help | Help Index menu item that opens up our .chm's index tab. This ends up crashing the entire application.
Similarly, accessing the help file directly in Windows Explorer (outside of our application) works fine until he goes to the chm's Index tab in which case the HelpViewer crashes.
Another similar symptom: sometimes the Index tab's contents will be blank and then a crash occurs when he attempts to close the help viewer.
The index tab problems are not unique to our help files however. So I think there's likely some Windows component missing on his system that makes any .chm file with an index tab display a blank tab or causes crashes.
Error Messages consistently mention a problem with:
ModName: itircl.dll
(Sorry rest of the message is in Swedish)
Has anyone heard of this problem and know how to fix it? Should customer just re-register the .dll? Or is something else needed?

Hi there
There are several DLLs that sometimes become corrupt or get clobbered. I think you would be well advised to download MJs Diags from the link below:

Keywords in topic-based index not displaying in application tab

We have a large binary index built from topic-based keywords.
The project itself is fairly substantial (2800+ topics), and the
.chm file produced works fine, index and all. However, only a small
fraction of the keywords display on the index tab of the RH
application.
Editing the rhakeyword.apj file doesn't seem to have any
effect. Right now, for example, the file in use is totally empty,
but the same subset of topics is displaying in RH.

Monday morning update: Friday afternoon the reimporting of
topics seemed to be rebuilding the index. This morning, upon
reopening the project and resuming the process, the topics I was
importing stopped registering on the index tab. Attempting to add
them manually, though, resulted in the "topic already exists"
message.
Further testing: I added several hundred topics Friday,
nothing shows in the rhkkeyword.apj file. All of a sudden today RH
is adding index entries there.
This is getting silly.

Character display issue in French Web index tab

First of all, I'm working with RoboHelp 8.
There is a character display issue in the index tab of the web help. (See screenshot below)
The apostrophe, instead of displaying by itself, it has a backslash just before it: \'
In the hhk file, I started using the actual apostrophe ('), then replaced it with ' and finally tried '
(The htm files use utf-8 encoding). None of those options seemed to solve the issue.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for a very quick response. The problem is that the Title (name of the image filename is also the item number in Quote) and this is always not null. I am not sure how do I test whether the image is present in $OA_MEDIA directory or not. Does BI Publisher provide a way to find out whether an image filename exists in $OA_MEDIA or not.
If there is no such standard way provided by BI Publsher, then I guess I will have to write Java function that executes in the middle tier and returns whether file exists with that name in $OA_MEDIA.
Please let me know your view.
Thanks

Search & Index tabs: double topic titles displayed

In my chm, on the Search and Index tabs, topic titles are
displayed twice. The second instance of these does not display the
topic when clicked; instead the "cannot display" error message is
shown. If there are special characters (ü, ä, ö,
etc) in the topic title these characters are displayed as a
combination of weird symbols.
I cannot find anything wrong with my help project, as far as
I can tell the topics that do not dispay do not exist in the help
project.

All topic titles in the search and index tabs are doubled;
English does not have any special characters but the English
projects are also affected.
The topics which are duplicated are only in my help projects
once.
The problem only seems to be in the chm.
The help projects are in ClearCase source control - could
this be a factor?
I have 2 separate branches of the same projects in ClearCase
and one branch (the original branch) does not have this problem.
The branch that does have the problem was created by copying the
original branch.

Index tab not displaying in RoboHelp HTML

I'm using Robohelp HTML version 8.
When viewing a topic properties, the General and Advanced tabs are displayed, but I haven't found how to display the Index tab in this version.
Is this option not available in version 8?
Regards,

Hi Cecil27 and welcome to the RH community.
Are you only seeing those two tabs? You should be seeing others as well (e.g. Status, File, See Also). Also where is your project located? If it is on a network drive, move it to a local drive and see if the problem still occurs.

No Index tab in generated Help

This seems like a really simple question so I apologize if I missed something, but I am using RoboHelp HTML X5.0.2 to generate Microsoft HTML Help. When I Generate Primary Layout, everything works fine and I am able to View the Result, but it only has Contents and Search tabs, and there is no Index tab. The "List Topics" button works fine, but I have lots of Index entries in my Help project and don't understand why they don't show.
Is this a limitation of (my version of) RoboHelp? Of Microsoft HTML help? I have only tried viewing the results on my computer (Windows XP SP3) - is the OS a limitation? P.S. when I click on the Advanced... button from the Project Properties the Default Frame on the Index tab says "Default (none)" - that seems strange and I tried changing this to the other settings (New Window, Parent Frame, etc.) but that didn't seem to affect the results.
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi aecspades and welcome to the RH community.
This could be because the index keywords have not be added to the project's index file. If you go into your project settings (File > Project Settings) you'll find an option there which I bet is set to add keywords to the topics. For the index tab to display you must have keywords added to the HHK file.

Remove index tab from tri-pane

Is it possible to remove the index tab from the HTML help
tri-pane window? Thanks!

Hi mk20061. You can suppress the display of the Index AND TOC
tabs but not the index tab on it's own. Go to your window's
properties and deselect the "TOC & Index"option in the Tripane
Tabs & Windows dialog section. The other alternative is to
delete all the index keywords from the project as the index tab is
only displayed if there are keywords to display.

Disable/Hide Index Tab in WinHelp2000?

Hi folks,
Is there any way to disable/hide the Index tab in WinHelp
2000?
We built a project using RoboHelp for Word (RoboHelp Office
X5) and the team decided they didn't have time to bother with an
index AND they felt the index would be of little value, since there
were tons of duplicate topics (formerly field names) with the same
name (ex: Description, Address, etc). They also didn't feel they
had the time to carefully "scrub" an index built using SmartIndex.
I tried building one using SmartIndex, and it stopped after it got
part way through several hundred Word docs (total of 517) and
several thousand topics (total of 2,680).
With all of the Index keywords stripped out of the project, a
blank index pane looks pretty ugly.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Colum,
Thanks for getting back to me. I agree - a well done index is
worth it, probably worth more than the full-text search in this
case. Unfortunately, when the help was originally created for the
DOS version of the application, the programmers decided to create
field level help for EVERY field (2,680 total). Since none of these
topics provided any context for which field belonged to which
screen, it's now kind of confusing to go through an index and view
17 different "County" fields from 17 different fields, all with
different descriptions. If I had the chance, I would have
completely changed the goal of the help into something more useful.

How easy is it to create a new add on? I would like to see tabbed display within the browser on FF24 on Android 4.2 – as per desktop FF

Please excuse this if it's a noob Q – I am, indeed, completely new to Android. Tabbed display appears to have been possible on previous versions of FF for Android via several add ons but unfortunately no more. Display of each open tab within the browser – rather than the current arrangement with just the number in the corner – is still possible with FF desktop and also features in Chrome, Opera and Dolphin for Android. I would prefer not to use these other mobile browsers as FF outperforms them but I do need tabbed display to allow for PDF docs to open – using the PDF viewer add on – alongside their initiating webpage. Any ideas? Is it difficult to create an add on? What is the process? Is one in the pipeline? Many thanks in advance for any help or guidance you can offer...

Many thanks for your reply, Waka – guess you're right that it's a new add on or bust... I still find it odd that such a common UI feature across mobile browsers is unavailable in FF24 either as an option under settings or as an add-on. Surely, I'm not the only person who finds this puzzling?

How can I get the Index tabs to show for each page that is open in the window like on the older versions. I close a window and it says I have tabs open but the tabs are not visible. How do I set it like the older versions? This was easy to manage

The index tabs were on some kind of toolbar just below the bookmark toolbar and you could see what was open in multiple tabs. I'm not referring to rolling over the Firefox icon for the Windows 7 thing, that's a pain. These index tabs were in plain sight. No matter what I try in Firefox 8, they won't appear.

the tabs were move to above the navigation bar, where the menu bar was. They hardly look like tabs there, but you may have turned off the tabs bars. View (Alt>V) > Toolbars > Tabs Bar
I think the solutions would really prefer though would be
You can make '''Firefox 8.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.
Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

What is the index tab in Balance Sheet Revaluation for?

Hi All,
Whenever I put a value in the Index tab in Balance Sheet Revaluation (Consumer Price Index), the revaluated amount in the Balance Sheet becomes the same as the local currency. No matter what amount I put in the Index tab, it is always the same. What is this tab for? Thanks.

Java.lang.NullPointerException in 'Examine Account index' Tab

When I open a ressource in the Examine Account index Tab I get the error message 'java.lang.NullPointerException' within a message window.
Is there a Bug withing IDM?

There is, It may or may not apply to your case.
Bug#4252: Recon confused by account names only differing in case.
description
On resources where account names are case-sensitive, it is possible to have two accounts which are identical except for case differences. When this happens recon will effectively not see the instances beyond the first of the matching accounts.
/description
There must be other ways for the index to get messed up, I am seeing the same error and we're using a numeric value as our account name so this can't be it. You are supposed to be able to delete the account index and it will be recreated at your next FULL reconcile. I haven't tried this yet so your mileage may vary but it looks relitavely safe.
I got this recomendation in a response to my ticket for the same problem I hate to pass on a solution I haven't had the opportunity to try yet (we use password sync so I can't afford to have my accounts unliked during the week.)
3.3 My best guess is that there's a problem with one of the account
index records. I would suggest:
3.3.1 Save the current account index (lh console; export Account.xml
Account)
Note 1: I wouldn't suggest the "-v" ... there are almost certainly a
huge number of accounts and this will only slow down the execution
Note 2: This could produce 1-2 G of data (or more, depending on how
many account objects)
Note 3: This export could take a LONG TIME ... depending on size.
This can be done while IdM is running.
Note 4: This export isn't strictly necessary, deleting the account
index is a safe operation ... meaning recon will rebuild it as
necessary
3.3.2 Run a full reconciliation to rebuild the account index

Index not displayed in Navigator (Version 1.5.4)

Hi,
I have few indexes in a schema which were created by Sql Tuning Advisor; hence their names are system generated (in dba_indexes, generated = 'Y' for indexes not displayed).
Accordingly to 364055.1 this seems to be an expected behavior (at least for table objects).
Is there any way to make these generated indexes visible in Navigator ?
Regards,
D.

You can just copy from \sqldeveloper\extensions\oracle.sqldeveloper.jar\oracle\dbtools\raptor\navigator\index.xml, removing the GENERATED predicate. That will replace the original node with yours ;)
Have fun,
K.
