Master Pages / Sync topic list and Project Manager
Hi,
Is there an easier way to see if I've applied my Master page to all my topics rather than right-clicking and checking Properties for each topic? No indication of a Master page shows up in my topic list and there isn't a report I saw to identify this. What I have in my Master page is code so it would not be apparent by looking at output.
Also, is there a way to sync the highlighting within RH to the topic I'm working on. For example, if I'm working in a topic and it's highlighted in my topic list, the same topic isn't highlighted in the Project Manager?
Thanks very much,
Sue
Hi there
If you look at the Topic List pod you should be able to see a column labeled Master Page.
Click image below for larger view.
If you don't see this column, you might need to scroll the scroll bar to the right. Note also that you may drag the column header to place it next to the Topic name if you like. Also, you may need to right-click the column headers in order to enable the Master Page.
Cheers... Rick

Can't apply some master pages to topics
Hello,
I have already logged a bug report on this, but I am hoping that someone else has encountered it and has a suggested workaround. I have searched the forums, but I didn't see this issue. We recently upgraded to RoboHelp 8, and we have installed 8.0.1.
Our help projects typically include multiple master pages (formerly called "templates"). Most topics use the main master page, but a few need to use one of our other master pages that is geared toward a different type of user. Most of our projects have at least 3 master pages.
After conversion from X5 to RoboHelp 8, in some of our help projects, we cannot apply the lesser-used master pages to topics. We can right-click the topic name or within the Design window and open the Topic Properties, and we can select the correct master page, either from the drop-down list or by clicking the Browse button, and we can click Apply. Initially, the topic will show the master page as being selected; however, the header from that master page will not appear grayed out in the Design window for the topic as it should, and when you save and close the topic, the master page is no longer selected for it. This problem does not occur if I select the master page that is used for most topics; that one gets selected and applied correctly.
This problem has happened to me and to 2 of my coworkers. I got my problem topics and templates to work, but I tried many things repeatedly and cannot pinpoint what made the problem stop happening. I am currently trying to solve the problem in a coworker's project without success.
Things I have tried:
1. Deleting and reimporting the master pages that are not working. (When I do this, RoboHelp crashes.)
2. Comparing the code of the non-working master pages to the code of the master page that does work. I saw no problems.
3. Deleting the cpd file while the project was closed and then reopening.
4. Manually changing the tags that appear in the code of the topics to see if I can fool RoboHelp into recognizing the master page. I tried putting in the meta tag and header placeholder tags, but this did not work.
Has anyone run into this, and if so, have you found a workaround?
Thank you,
TammyThis was our error, not RoboHelp's. After trying several different things yesterday, I compared the code of a working master page to that of a non-working master page once again. I discovered an error in some JavaScript, and when I removed the extraneous code, the template worked. I apologize for not finding this before posting! I did try several things before I posted.

How do you order topics within the Project Manager?
Hi all,
I notice that the workflow in RH is that first you use the
Project Manager (PM) to build a sort of structured topic database,
and then you use the database to generate a TOC.
Ok, so far so good, but the immediate little issue I am
having is that I see that the PM arranges my topics within each
folder in alphabetical order. Since, by default, the TOC is
generated with the topics in this default order, I would like to
change the order in which the topics are arranged within the PM. I
don't seem to find any way to do this. I can't drag and there are
no Move buttons for this pod. What am I missing?
TIA
- aviHi Avi
You aren't missing anything. That's the way it works with the
Project Manager Pod. It simply lists your topic files in
alphabetical order.
For starters, I would never recommend that anyone always
automatically create the TOC. I might suggest using that only as a
first step in building a TOC. After it has been built initially,
any added or amended topics would then be manually added and
rearranged by you after the changes have been made.
Unless you are happy with things that way (and I assume you
aren't as you are posting to ask how to make it different) you will
find yourself constantly frustrated. Note that if you auto create
the TOC, you get ALL topics inside. And in many help files there
are topics that never see the light of day in the TOC structure.
All that aside, I do see a great many folks that want to have
an ability to arrange topics in their Project Manager pod as they
want. For you and anyone else that wants this, you should consider
submitting a Wish Form to ask for the feature.

FlorianThanks very much for taking the time to post the info Florian. I will update this thread as well if I run into any new information.
Do we have any idea on SAP's direction for Product Definition? PD is still version 2.0 and I heard that PD functionality will be incorporated into PPM 5.0 which does make a lot of sense. I very briefly went through the notes and config doc in this post and did not get the impression that PPM has any idea and concept management capabilities. -

I am in need of project costing and project billing and project management setup documents with screen shoot? Can anyone help me?
I have no clue about recovering the info, but when you say you save you should always use Save As. That clears unneeded info from the file. With the file size you have, that may be an important need.

Portfolio and Project Management
Hi All,
We have applied the business package for Project Management and Portfolio Management and it is working fine but it only works fine if Super Admin Role is assigned to the user with Project Management and Portfolio Management Role.
We need to provide only 2 Roles i.e.,Portfolio Management Role and Project Management Role not Super Admin, how to achieve that pls help.
thanks & regards...
Gaurav MakinGaurav,
Looks like you would have to play around with the permissions to resolve this.
1.In the PCD, where you find the Project Management and Portfolio Management folder, right click and open permissions, ensure you add the everyone group there and have the enduser checked.
2. In the system administration-system configuration-system folder, check if you have any system created for the Project Management and Portfolio Management, right click and open the permissions, ensure you add the everyone group there and have the enduser checked.
This should help resolve the issue with out the super admin role
Good Luck,
Cheers!

I've unfortunately updated to the new Bento on MakBook and iPad and synced my data and in the process it tells me that iCal and Address books will not sync any more. I have several projects I am working on and looking for something that will syn with iCal, address book and Busy Cal to manage my time efficiently and seamlessly. Help?
I think you're in the wrong forum - this is for developers, who write programs for apple products.
As for Bento, their problem is due to Apple's changes in the API. The code that syncs with calendars and contacts is now deprecated, which means at some point in the future, it will no longer work. This problem will affect all developers, so you probably won't find any replacement for Bento. -
Get error message and it removes Master Page from Topic
I get the following message sometimes when I edit a topic but definitely don't get near the header or footer. Then as soon as I save the topic, I lose my Master Page connection to it. And I have to go into Properties for that topic and pick the master page again!! This started one day after using RoboHelp HTML for a month. Does anyone else have this problem?
Hello again
Hmmm, wasn't exactly what I'd hoped to see. I can't really tell much from the image. Looks like it's an image of a topic and not the Master Page?
Here's the deal. The only time you should be seeing the message you first posted is if you have a Master Page with a Header or Footer area defined. You then edit a topic where something causes the Header or Footer to change. The change to the Header or Footer is what triggers the message.
As you say you aren't changing anything in the Header or Footer area, this suggests whatever is being used in the Header or Footer area is triggering the notification. That's why I'm interested in exactly what you have in the Master Page.
Cheers... Rick

The order of topics in the Project Manager is not reflected when creating a PDF for review.
Can't seem to find an answer to this in the forums...
Using RH10.
In the Project Manager pod is a default 'Project Files' folder.
Within that I have a 'Topics' folder in which my topic files reside.
Under the View menu, I have selected 'By Topic Title'. I understand that this displays the topics by their title as opposed to their file name. I understand that this is a display toggle only, and has no relation to the order of the topics - the alternative toggle is 'By File Name'.
Notice in the image below, my topics are displayed by topic title, but aren't in alphabetical order. ...yet.
There's a button at the top of this window for changing the sort order to 'Sort by Name', which has the result below.
Ok, so now the topics are displayed by topic title, and in alphabetical order.
Question 1: If that button toggles the view to display topics in 'alphabetical order', what on earth is the other order called? It's certainly not in order of file name, as I've checked a bunch of the topic filenames, and can't see any pattern/order to the this structure.
Question 2: When I go to create a PDF for review (via Review > Create PDF for Review), the window that appears displays all the topics available to me to select for review. However, they're displayed in this other 'odd' sort order instead of 'alphabetical' order. The Help menu says that this window reflects the order of topics as it finds them in the Project Manager. However, what seems to be actually happening is it's displaying the topics based on the view you have selected under the View menu (i.e. either 'View by Topic Title' or 'View by File Name'), and regardless of which view toggle you have selected, the order of the topics is only ever this 'odd' sort order. In other words, in the 'Create PDF for Review' window, it appears I can never see the topic list in alphabetical order. Furthermore, it appears that the only way I can resolve this is to go back into the Project Manager, switch to 'odd' sort order, and manually drag all the topics into alphabetical order. ...I have hundreds of topics.
Is there some way I can quickly change this 'odd' sort order to 'alphabetical'? There must be some underlying file with this order of topics in it (hopefully).Hi there
I don't have an immediate answer for Question 2, but for Question 1, the topic order is "User Defined" as you are able to click and drag topics to create any arrangement that suits you. This was something added as a result of user feedback. Enough users asked Adobe to allow them to arrange topics this way that they made it a reality. The logic escapes me as I'm a user that normally expects software to list things in either ascending or descending alphabetical order.
Perhaps Peter will pop in with a nice explanation of the PDF for Review sorting and Adobe's logic behind it.

Is it possible to define master page usage for a linked project?
Hello again!
I feel like I'm spamming this forum with all my questions, but I seem to be having a difficult time trying to find information on FM/RH integration.
Is there a way to define which master pages are assigned to the topics linked to FM files?
I don't really want to do this individually for each topic (I only have 2 master pages: one for the intro page and another for all other topics).
Even so, when I map a FM file manually to a RH master page, I get a warning message stating that any changse to the topic will be overwritten on the next FM file update.
Any ideas?
Thanks again.
SueHi Sue
I'm a RoboHelp user and a big ole Frame ignoramous. So what I'm about to tell you comes from the RoboHelp perspective.

Indeed it would be VERY cumbersome if you had to associate a Master Page on a topic by topic basis. The good news here is that you have an ability in RoboHelp to select as many topics as you like and only make the association a single time.
Just open the Topic List pod. There you are able to select all topics by pressing Ctrl+A. From there you are then able to associate the desired master page.

Deleting a topic from within Project Manager = failure
I searched for this topic here and in RH7's help and didn't
see anything, so I ask:
What could prevent a topic from deleting from the Project
Manager?
There's a topic I want to delete. The ever-ugly RH help says
only: "Use the Project Manager pod to remove topics and files from
your project." Awesome.
When I right-click on a topic and select delete, I'm prompted
by a dialog box to acknowledge that the file will be removed from
my HD. Alright, do it. It then asks me to check it out from version
control. I do, and that's the end of it. The topic remains and it's
checked out, but I cannot delete it. Repeated attempts to delete it
either ask me to check it out again or there are no prompts at all
after the aforementioned "removed from disk" dialog.
I've tried closing and re-opening the project and closing and
re-starting RH7 and this problem was extant before and after the
7.01 update.I am having a similar problem. Check your profile in
RoboSourceControl. To delete a topic, you have to have the ability
to Hide and Unhide, as well as Delete.
If this works, please post back, because we are getting some
uneven results here. Some of us can delete and some can't. It does
seem to be an issue with the profile you are using in source
control, though.
