Re-ordering See Also lists - Robohelp 9

For the life of me, this seems like something that should be done easily. My see-also lists are not listed in the order I dropped the topics in, but rather alphabetically. Is there any way to display the see also in the order I place them? I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense. Let me explain what I do just in case you aren't sure what i'm asking.
1. I create a see also.
2. I drag and drop several topics into the see also.
3. They get ordered alphabetically, not in the order I dropped them in.
4. ? How can I make these display in the order I dropped them in ?
Thank you so much for all your help if you have a solution, I really appreciate it. This seems like something that should be really easy to do but i'm unable to figure this out.

Hi there
These are a bit of a different beast with RoboHelp. They are somewhat "dynamically" created, so there isn't anywhere you can really specify their order as you can with the Related Topics control.
But that doesn't mean you can't configure an order you want. As long as you are willing to live with numbers in front of each topic.
Basically, you edit the topic properties and change the Topic Title to prefix the order with the number you want. So, for example, Motorbikes would become 1. Motorbikes. Trucks might become 2. Trucks and so on.
Unless Willam, Peter or John come in and cite a clever workaround I'm unaware of, I believe that's about the best you can do with the See Also. At least at editing time. If you are willing to roll up your sleeves and tinker, there is likely a way to do it in the output files. But then you would have to remember to do it each time you generated.

Ordered and Unordered Lists viewed in WYSIWYG Editor in RoboHelp 10

I recently upgraded a project from RH 9 (9.0.2.271) to RH 10 (10.0.0.287). Ordered and unordered lists display in the WYSIWYG Editor with more spacing around each line. When I generate the output to HTML Help, the spacing looks fine. I also tested generating output to WebHelp, and again, the output looks fine.
I have paragraph and list styles defined in my style sheet that I apply to the text in the topic. I also looked at the styles in RH 10 and Media is set to "None."
Using the Style Pod, I looked at the set up of the parapgraph and list styles. For those styles, (and my body text styles - which look fine in the WYSIWYG Editor) have spacing before and after spacing set. (NOTE: These styles were created in RH8 and the WYSIWYG Editor displayed the styles appropriately in RH8 and RH9.) Even though I changed the style sheet, the WYSIWYG Editor is still displaying more space around the styles then I am expecting.
I know this is not a huge issue since the output looks fine, but I want to understand why the WYSIWYG Editor isn't working as I expect. I would like the editor to display with correct spacing.
I attached a few screen captures showing what I see.
HTML Help Output
Thanks in advance for your help.

I suspect part of the issue is that your list styles have spacing above and below and then you have applied paragraph styles that also have spacing above and below.
Using both is OK and is how I work. However, I do not have any spacing above and below in my list styles. I rely on the paragraph style for that. It looks like Rh's Design Editor is applying both but browsers are not.
It is still not quite the same in a browser as in Design Editor but it is much closer. There will also be browser differences anyway so it's a case of getting some balance.
Try removing the before and after spacing in the list style. Alternatively, if you do not generate printed documentation then rely on the list style only. (Select the lists in a topic and set paragraph to None).
Let us know if that is close enough.

Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi ?

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Multiple issues with See Also controls when importing topics (RoboHelp 9)

I was wondering if anyone has found workarounds to a very flaky area of RoboHelp...
Suppose you create several topics A, B, C and D, each with a See Also control in it. Let's suppose all the topics are assigned to the same See Also keyword, say 'Alphabet'. At a later date you create a new project, and need to import your old topics. The following problems arise:
1) When the topics are imported, RoboHelp does not recreate the 'Alphabet' See Also keyword in the See Also pod. However, the See Also functionality works (sort of) when the project is built. It is not possible to manually add the 'Alphabet' keyword in the See Also pod, because RoboHelp tells you it already exists! The result is an invisible 'Alphabet' See Also keyword, to which you cannot add further topics. As a workaround, I found it is essential to manually add the 'Alphabet' See Also keyword BEFORE importing the topics, and RoboHelp will then correctly assign A, B, C and D to it. However, this can be very awkward if you have hundreds of topics to import and are not sure what See Also keywords the topics reference.
2) When the topics are imported and the project is built, the See Also control does not work as expected. In RoboHelp, right-clicking the See Also control and choosing See Also [] Properties... reveals that the options you previously set, such as 'Popup menu' or "If no topics are associated with any of the See Also keywords..." have been lost! So all those nasty Topics Found dialogs return when you build the help (instead of popups). If you have a See Also control placed in every topic for consistency, it will never grey out if the topic doesn't belong to any See Also keywords.
3) When the topics are imported and the project is built, the current topic's name appears in its own list of See Also topics, i.e. it self-references. So for example, if you are viewing topic A and click the See Also link, topics A, B, C and D are listed, instead of just B, C and D. However, when you create new See Also keywords in RoboHelp, assign topics, and build the help, they work correctly and do not show the calling topic's name.
I spent hours analysing the HTML code of files I am importing, and the code of brand new topics created in RoboHelp, and I can see no obvious differences apart from some -1/0/1 flags in the green Metadata section preceding the SeeAlso code. I even tried changing these flags in my import files to exactly match the flags of new topics that RoboHelp just built, but when importing they still don't work. Clearly RoboHelp stores crucial See Also information elsewhere in the project, but does not make this reliably transportable by adding it to the HTM files that it builds, despite the huge Metadata comment block.
Adobe needs to put a lot of work into making it possible to cleanly re-use files as content re-use is a very common, and often critical, requirement.

Hi there
After reading your post, I come away being unsure about your goal. Is the goal here to simply advise others as to what they may encounter using the See Also functionality? Or is your goal to advise Adobe about what you would like to see changed?
If your goal is to advise Adobe about what you would like to see changed, you need to visit the Wish Form at www.adobe.com/go/wish and file an official request. Otherwise, it just gives you a nice warm glow that you had your say here. But it won't have much of any effect on the product.
As far as any workarounds, I might suggest the following. You seem to be regularly creating a new projects and importing content. And if that's the case, I might suggest you create a template project that would already have these things in place so that as you add content, the expected keywords and links and whatnot are already in place. My thought is that this action would ease much of the frustration you are facing.

Robohelp Web Help See Also Pop up

Hi Folks,
Been trying to locate the place in Robohelp to change the
background color for a "See Also" pop up box. Right now, it's
defaulting to the windows gray, and I'd like to change it to white
with blue text. If you can point me to the right place, I would be
grateful.

Hi marilyng -
Here ya go:
You'll want to open up your
ehlpdhtm.js file...
1) To change your text and text background color, go to
function
_PopupMenu_Invoke_2()
2) find and edit the two lines that look like this:
document.write(".PopupNotOver {font-family:'Arial';
color:black; background:#c0c0c0; font-size:10pt;
font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;}");
3) and, to change the popup background color, find:
popupmenuevoke()
4) and find the two instances of :
BGCOLOR="#c0c0c0"
.... and change those background grays to the white of your
choice.
Happy tweaking!

RoboHelp 8 crashes when clicking See Also tab of Design-Time Control Properties

My project was previously in RoboHelp 7 and is a merged project. I copied a topic with see also buttons and want to edit the links. I right click the button and select Design-Time Control [name] Properties and click the See Also tab. RoboHelp crashes every single time. Error message:
EventType : BEX
P1 : RoboHTML.exe
P2 : 8.0.0.203
P3 : 4944f3bb
P4 : CLIENTMONTEREYDB.dll
P5 : 8.0.0.203
P6 : 4944e14d
P7 : 000016aa
P8 : c0000409
P9 : 00000000
One thing that is a little strange is that some of the buttons have Design-Time Control [object1] Properites and some have Design-Time Control [RelatedTopic] Properties, but all have the See Also tab.
If I insert a new See Also button using Insert > See Also, the menu choice is Design-Time Control [See Also] Properties and the tab is See Also. Click the tab and RoboHelp crashes.
If I insert a new Related Topics button using Insert > Related Topics, the menu choice is Design-Time Control [Related Topic] Properties and the tab is called Related Topics. Click the tab and RoboHelp does not crash.
I have a whole lot of these buttons I need to modify, so I'd appreciate if anyone knows of a solution to this problem.
Sample HTML for an offending button:

<object
classid="clsid:ADB880A6-D8FF-11CF-9377-00AA003B7A11"
    type="application/x-oleobject">
<param name="Command" value="ALink,MENU" />
<param name="Button" value="Text:See Also" />
<param name="Font" value="Verdana,8,0,,BOLD" />
<param name="Frame" value="" />
<param name="Item1" value="" />
<param name="Item2" value="ChgSubErrSeverity - see also" />
</object>


Hello again
Bummer that!
First, I'll answer something I failed to earlier. You said that sometimes it says SeeAlso and sometimes it's object1. Here's the deal on that.
When you click Insert > See Also the first time in a topic, the control is named SeeAlso. If you copied and pasted or clicked Insert > See Also again, the first time you did that it would be object1 or OBJECT1 depending on whether you used the menu or you copied and pasted. This is because each of these must use a unique name. So is it possible that you disliked seeing object1 on some and you renamed so the second (or third) also was named SeeAlso? I could see that causing RoboHelp to gag.
Assuming that's not it, what about topic filenames or titles? Do any of them have unusual characters in the names? Any character other than 0-9, a-z, A-Z or an underscore ( _ ) is suspect. Perhaps an odd character is tossing a monkey wrench into the works.
Cheers... Rick

When I see the list of voicemails I have and tap on one; nothing happens. Also there is nowhere to tap delete

I am a new Iphone user. When I see a list of voicemails received and try tapping on one, nothing happens. I also do not see anywhere I can tap to erase the name of the caller.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files key3.db and signons.sqlite that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.<br />
Rename the files key3.db and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder.<br />
You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action.<br />
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost.<br />
If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.

Material staging indicator not populating in prod order WM pick list item

Hello,
I have an issue with material staging in an prod order
1) PP-WM interface is activated
2) Control cycle for material is created
3) Production storage location is created for material
4) storage type is 100 for production
5) There is one discontinued material and also the follow up material
6) stock of discontinued material is zero and requirement are passed to follow up material
When we confirm the order the stagging indicator for both follow up material as well as discontinued material automatically populates zero (Non relevence to pick list items) where as it should be one (1 - for pick list items).
One more issue user has manually inserted discontinued material as well as follow up material in production order change mode.
In the BOM of a main material both discontinued as well as follow up material is there with some quantity as a component.
For the same work center, control cycle , production storage location the indicator is populating.
These two material (discontinued as well as follow up) are appearing twice in the WM pick list screen where first two line items are OK and populating indicator "1". But in line item last and second last indicator is not there.
My question is why the stagging indicator is not automatically populating in the production order WM pick list screen in front of components.

Unfortunately, WM material staging via production orders is not possible
from the pull list. Please see the long text of message RMPU 311
(WM material staging for production order reservation not possible):
"You cannot carry out a WM material provision for pick parts from
production order reservations in the pull list". The reasons for this
are cleary explained in the SAP on-line documentation via the
following path :
Logistics -> Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management Guide ->
Goods Issue -> Goods Issue for Production Supply ->
Material Staging for Repetitive Manufacturing
See the following under the Selection heading :
The choice of the selection type influences which types of WM material
staging are supported in the pull list. However, the pick parts can be
staged via RS headers/planned orders but not with the current BOM
explosion. The release order parts, on the other hand, can also be
staged if the current BOM is used for calculating the dependent
requirements.
WM material staging via production orders is not possible from the pull
list.
I think you may try in CO02 or COR2 for production order or process order.

See Also keywords missing

I am using RoboHelp HTML X5.0.2. I have a project that I at
some point converted from WinHelp and have been working with for
many years.
Yesterday I should work with the See Also-keywords in the
project, but discovered that the keyword list was empty. When I
open the topic properties, I can see the See Also keyword(s)
connected to that topic. I can also see the list of keywords when I
open the properties of the See Also design-time control.
I tried adding a new keyword to a topic, and that keyword
showed up in the list. There was created a new file called
rhakeyword.apj which contains the keyword I added.
I renamed and opened the project file in Access, and could
see the list of keywords there. The one keyword I had added was
listed with a positive ID (1) while the other keywords had negative
IDs (-1 etc).
I tried searching the forum archives and the HATT archives,
but I couldn't find anything similar or relevant. Anyone has any
idea what has happened here, or what I can do to get my keywords
back?
Regards,
Rannveig Østevik

I was able to solve the problem by manually editing the
rhakeyword.apj file. I hadn't so many See Also-keyword, so it was
possible to add them there. All links to the keywords were restored
when I added the keywords to this file.
Before that I tried rebuilding the CPD-file, but that didn't
add the keywords to the See Also tab. If I tried to add the
keywords manually in the RoboHelp UI, I got an error messag that
the keyword already existed.

Rannveig Østevik

I apologize up front for the duplicate, but the original post was in the wrong forum I think, and I could not find a way to easily change the forum location.
Can someone help, PLEASE?
Can someone point me to a forum post that I have missed that has an answer?
I have searched the forum posts for hours with no success. However, I did find some fixes to other problems related to opening WebHelp using Chrome.
I have a WebHelp project containing See Also links.
The links don’t work in Chrome. The links work as expected in Firefox and Internet Explorer.
The links are not appearing anywhere in the topic, for example, at the top of the topic.
The project is currently stored locally and can be opened.
I stored the project on a network drive, but the links still don’t work.
Is there any chance that the links will work if the project is stored on a Web server? I don’t have access to a Web server to test the links.
I don’t have the luxury of upgrading to RH10, so I hope there is a fix that will work with RH9.
Thanks in advance for any help.

@Jeff_Coatsworth
First, thanks for your help.
I have seen the thread you provided, http://forums.adobe.com/message/5775431#5775431#5775431.
Previously, I had added "--allow-file-access-from-files" to a Chrome shortcut as noted in the thread. I can open the project that is stored locally using the customized shortcut.
The See Also links (button) still don’t work.
I had not tried the suggestion to update whproxy.js that is at http://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/kb/webhelp-output-fails-load-chrome.html.
I didn’t try the suggestion because it related to RH10, and I am using RH9.
I have now tried the suggestion.
I downloaded whproxy.js and replaced the file in the output folder as noted.
I cannot view the local project in Chrome using the new whproxy.js file. The page flickers.
I removed "--allow-file-access-from-files" from the customized shortcut, but the project still couldn’t be viewed.
I reverted to my original whproxy.js file and the use of "--allow-file-access-from-files". I can view the project again.
However, the problem still exists with the See Also links. The button is visible but clicking the button does not open the list of topics.
Do you have any other suggestions that I can try?

See Also popup menu not working

This had been posted before, but my situation is slightly
different.
I have 2 See Also text hyperlinks and one Releated Topics
text hyperlink on each topic in my online help.
All are set to dislay topics in a popup menu.
The help is being generated to HTML help.
Once generated, one of the See Also hyperlinks displays in a
Topic LIst Dialog instead of the popup menu.
The other See Also and the Related Topics hyperlinks are
dsiplayed with the popup menu.
I have checked the OPTIONS setting in the .HHP file and there
is no reference to Language.
I added one and it still does not solve the problem.
An older version of this source works fine.
Any ideas????
I have to deliver by Wenesday.

Hi Michael
When you insert controls, if you look behind the scenes using
the TrueCode tab, you should see that RoboHelp HTML inserts two
distinctly different blocks of code. One is called a "design-time"
control and is displayed in green text. The other is the basic code
used by the HTML Help compiler. This section is displayed in gray
text. So you have two places to look for this setting. I'm only
referring to See Also controls here.
In the "green code" area should be a line that reads:
<param name="DialogDisplay" value="1" >
If the value is 1, the control produces a popup. If the value
is 0, you get a topics found dialog.
In the "gray code" area should be a line that reads:
<PARAM NAME="Command" VALUE="ALink,MENU">
If the value is Alink,MENU, the control produces a popup. If
the value is Alink, you get a topics found dialog.
Also, I just noticed you posted this identical question in
the RoboHelp for HTML Help forum category. Please don't cross post!
This is outlined in the forum guidelines you can read by

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

HT1751 Hi I followed the istructions to copy/move iTunes music to a new PC, can see albums listed in Library, but SYNCH does not put any music on iPod. It took me three weeks to import my CDs into iTunes and i DON'T want to do it again! Can anyone help ?

Hi I followed instructions to copy/move iTunes music to a new PC. I can see albums listed in the library but SYNCH will not put any music on my new iPod.

Can anyone help ?

Take a look here; it should help:
iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
Though it refers to items purchased from the iTunes Store, it applies to all your iTunes content. And if you happen to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Once you have the tracks on some removable medium, you can mount that on your new computer and then just drag the content to the iTunes window. Make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced -> General preferences before you do. Alternatively, you can use the Add To Library command and select each track (or folder of tracks).
If you won't be using that Windows system once you move the content, don't forget to deauthorize the system from your iTunes Store account before you dispose of the computer.
