Retaining topic order when importing html

Is there a way to import an html file (or files) and retain
the order (and hierarchy) of the topics? I have a series of topic
files with headings and subheadings.
I understand this is possible when importing Word documents
with a toc.

Welcome to the forum.
If you are importing an HTML file, it will become a single
topic in the RH project with all the headings of differeing levels
that are in it. In other words, it will not change.
I think you are confusing the import of an HTML file which
imports as it is with the import of a Word document where you have
the option to split the document into different HTML files
according the heading levels you define.
Create a test project and import a file.

  • Topic title overwritten with file name when importing html-file

    I have a problem in RH8. When I import a html-file that has a topic title that is different to the file name, RH somehow overwrites the topic title with the file name. The html-files that I need to import into my help project DO have a topic title (with the html tag 'Title') so this is not caused by an empty og non-existing title tag.
    I have searched the forum and found that this was also an issue in RoboHelp 6 and by then fixed in a service pack. I have long ago installed the two service packs to RH8, but I can see in the 'read me' for the service packs, that this has not been dealed with.
    I also have RH 7 installed on my pc, and the problem does not occur in a RH 7 help project.
    Best Regards

    Yes, I am sure I am not mixing up Topic Title and Topic Heading.
    The files are generated in a Access database created by our own developers. We have used this database for generating html-files for our RH-projects for years without any problems.
    Below I have copied the HTML code from one of theese files (with the file name '10001.htm') before importing it into RH8:
    <!doctype HTML public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Frameset//EN">
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>
    Agreement
    </title>
    <LINK rel='StyleSheet' href='default.css'>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h1>
    Agreement
    </h1><p>
    An agreement is a written obligation between a project and a contracting party regarding the
    participation in the project, delivery to the project, or transfer of the project&#39;s products
    and services. Please see Vejledning: Aftaler og aftaleparter.
    </p>
    </body>
    </html>
    And after importing it to RH8:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

  • My source file does not stay in the same order when imported to Target

    Hi Gurus,
    I am importing a file using the LKM to SQL to a target datastore on Oracle. I am using the IKM SQL Control Append but my problem is in my target datastore the order that the flat file is in is not longer together. I added a ROWNUM column and triggered a sequence but the order from the flat file is still not the same as the table. I need the order to remain the same b/c during the load to Planning it holds the metadata order correctly.
    Could someone give me a suggestion.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Are you using the Planning Metadata load KM. If so there is an option on that KM Called Load by Input Order which repsects the order of your data in the source when loading to Planning

  • Retaining folder structure when importing videos

    Having created a new library just for my videos I want to import them but without copying into iTunes. I know how to do that.
    But I do not know how to reflect the folder structure  in iTunes. What I mean is this:
    My videos are in several folders (which happen to be at the same level) e.g.
    <European vacations> <North American Vacations> <Cruises> .....
    When I Add to library or drag and drop the individual videos are imported but the structure ofthe folders is not. (so far as Ican tell)
    Is there any way to do this so that I can navigate to a folder using iTunes?
    It is my intention to buy an AppleTV to hook up to my LAN and HD TV.
    Right now I'm using another piece of SW and I cna navigate the folders.
    TIA for your suggestions

    On my hard disc, the music is stored in folders, as below:
    Classical>
    Beethoven>
    1st Symphony>
    -1st Movement
    -2nd Movement
    -3rd Movement
    -4th Movement
    Rock>
    Allman Bros.>
    Brothers and Sisters>
    -song1
    -song2
    -song3
    -etc.
    Eat A Peach>
    -song1
    -song2
    -song3
    etc.
    But I can't figure out how to load all this music into iTunes while retaining the folder structure, it just dumps them all together in the main playlist...

  • Keeping the album songs order, when importing songs from different sources

    Hello
    I imported lots of songs into my itunes library from various sources (itunes store, CD's, and audio files converted from my vinyl records) This way, songs from a specific artist, and sometimes from a specific album, could come from different sources.
    Now, I hope to arrange all the songs from a specific album to appear in the appropriate order, but I just can't find a way of doing this! The songs just appear in the way iTunes sorts them, without any relation to the original order of the album. Even more, in the iPod itself, the order changes once again with no appearant reason! (Interestingly enough, when I import all the songs of a specific album from one source, the order is kept)
    I tried changing the names on the files in itunes to include serial numbers (01, 02 and so on, at the names of the songs). but then again, for some reason, no order is kept.
    How can I sort the songs in the album according to the proper order? I don't want to use a special playlist for each album.
    Thank you in advance for your replies
    Zak.

    iTunes sorts things in thew following way (based on having the correct ID3 tag info)
    Album > Disc number > Track Number
    if you sort things by Album
    iTunes does NOT take anything from the file name unless no ID3 tag info is present in the file, then you will see the file name appear as the track name and all other fields blank. ID3 tags are the way most meta-data is handled noawadays.
    Hope that helps.

  • ITunes U - Lectures not in order when imported

    iTunes U lectures synched to my iPod are not in chronological order. As you can imagine, this is frustrating. Any ideas?

    hartofak wrote:
    This worked; I changed the media type to music, and made a new playlist, not an iTunes U lecture series, and now the playlist syncs in order. This seems pretty clumsy, inelegant, and a lot of work just to get the lectures to sort the way I want them to, especially since you might assume that if a lecture series can't be synced in the order that the user wants, it would automatically sync in the order the lectures were given.
    Thanks a lot, this what just happened with me when updating to iOS 4.2.1 and tip

  • "Date Added" sort order problem when importing folders

    I sort by "Date Added" to view my iTunes library, and use the middle "view" button to view tracks grouped as albums with artwork. This works mighty well except when I'm importing folders containing the files in an album, such as those I get from eMusic--the tracks are displayed out of order when I do this. The only solution I've found so far is to import one track at a time. Any ideas how I can get those tracks in there in the right order when importing a folder? Any scripts hanging around that will do it right? Thanks to all....

    What sort order do you have selecting in the sort drop-down?  There is no "correct" sort order.  You can sort on any metadata you can show in the Browser.  The sort drop-down is located in the top border of the Browser, near the left corner.  Every container in Aperture retains the sort order it last had.  When you manually move an Image in the Browser, the sort order is changed to "Manual".

  • Retain custom order in albums when exporting to different iPhoto library?

    Hi all.
    To ease resource consumption, I'm placing many of my 20,000 iPhoto9 items into a new iPhoto9 library.
    I have many albums with pictures in custom order.
    Any recommendations on how to retain that order when copying the photos/ albums to the new library?
    If I copy the files to wherever, quit iPhoto and reopen in the new library for import, they files are imported to the new iPhoto library in whatever order they are listed in the finder, which is not the custom order I created in the album in the original album.
    Don't want to waste all the time I spent putting them in certain order.
    Many thanks!

    You can edit posts for up to 15 minutes after posting.
    You're not actually moving albums from one Library to another. Your exporting groups of photos to the FInder. Then import them to iPhoto. There's no connection between the two libraries.
    The problem with this wirkflow is that you lose more than your custom sort. At the very lest you lose the ability to revert to original for edited photos, and the non-destructive editing feature. Depending on how you're exporting you may also be losing a lot of metadata.
    You could try use iPhoto Library Manager   which will move albums from one Library to another directly, with all the versions and metadata intact. I'm not sure that it will preserve a custom sort, but you could drop the makers a line and enquire from them.
    Other alternatives:
    Duplicate your existing library, and then remove the pics you don't want from the new version.
    Finally, you're using less than 10% of iPhoto's capacity and a 20k library is quite small these days. What is the problem you're trying to solve?
    Regards
    TD
    If you want to keep using your custom workflow, create a sequential title for the pics in the Albums, export using the File -> Export command, choosing to use the Title as filename. Then import to the new Library and sort on Title.

  • 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.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How to retain numerical order (Of file names) when combining files in Acrobat (9) Standard

    How to retain numerical order (Of file names) when combining files in Acrobat (9) Standard, please see the attached screenshot for a clearer explanation.
    I understand that if we prefix all files with leading zero's this will probably resolve the issue but I just wondered if anyone new the answer. The ironic situation is that version 6 has no problem.
    I have spent over an hour with techincal support who were unable to provide me with an answer

    It is not clear how you are trying to do the order. Have you tried to select a set of files and then use the arrow buttons to move them in the list? If you select the heading, that will typically reorder the files by that heading and undo everything you had done before.
    You should be able to select groups of files and move them up and down in the list. All of those options appear on your view, so what is the real question?

  • When importing from Frame, entire document is in single topic..

    We get long .htm files with mid-topic IDs for all of our imported Frame files, using Frame 8 and RobhHTML 7. We got the same thing when using RoboHTML 8.  What we want is a new topic for each of our headings.  How can we do that when importing form Frame?

    I've moved this thread to the correct forum. Hope you do better here.
    Maybe you need to check the Advanced settings when you import and set pagination on the required headings.

    @Carolyn:
    Yes, I did search before but restricted it to the past month, because I had the feeling that it’s worse now since the update to 5.1.10, but I may be wrong.
    It seems this is an old and unsolved common problem.
    @andy:
    “Top Sites” is hot, but I’ve never used that funny dots without any mouse-over text.
    After deleting (before starting Safari)  it’s restored by a default TopSites.plist, it seems these cookies
    - are only reloaded when viewing the Top Sites (?)
    - are not among my reappearing cookies, I have never seen such a cookie / cache on my system before (e.g. expedia, orbitz, monster, usatoday, disney, craigslist).
    And Top Sites would not explain why the Web Inspector has different infos regarding use of cookies and local storage than Safari’s “Privacy” tab.
    After playing with deleting TopSites.plist, without surfing, suddenly I have ”121 cookies or other data” at Safari’s Privacy tab, nearly all are listed as “Cache” or “Cache, Cookies” but the Web Inspector doesn’t show any of them, only my google.co.uk items.
    ---> Thanks, I’ll send a feedback to Apple.

  • ITunes for Windows freezes when importing a library. I have a large but not huge library of mostly iTunes purchased music on two authorized computers and would like to sync the files, export the library as a playlist, and import it on the other computer.

    I am running iTunes for Windows 10.2.2 on Windows 7 Home. I have my iTunes library on both this computer and another authorized machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have a large but not enormous library, as I'm one of those people who doesn't pirate, use torrents, borrow from a dozen friends, or whatever other shades of gray you might imagine. It's mostly iTunes purchases with my old CD collection imported. I have started using the following technique to sync my libraries between my two authorized computers, an ability which you can probably all agree should one day be added to iTunes -- that would be different from Home Sharing, because the music would be stored locally and thus available on the road. With the added benefit of the entire library being backed up on the other machine in real-time. Anyway, when I switch from my desktop to laptop and vice versa, I use the following technique:
    Connect both machines to the home network. One machine is the "Active" machine, which has most recently been used for iTunes media, purchases, ratings, etc.
    On the "Active" machine, File-->Library-->Export. Save the file as "Library.xml" on the shared drive of the other machine.
    Right-click "Library.xml" where it's been saved, and open another file that has two lines in it: The root path of the iTunes library on one machine and the root path of the iTunes library on the other machine.
    Do a find/replace all in Notepad to make the library XML file point to where the files will be saved on the "Inactive" machine.
    Run Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the files between both music libraries; the most recent files win. This avoids copying the entire multi-gigabyte library over the network.
    Open iTunes on the "Inactive" machine.
    Go to Music, Select All, Delete. Keep files.
    Do the same for Movies, Music Videos.
    Go down to Playlists, select the top one, hold down the delete button until they're all gone.
    File-->Library-->Import Playlist. Choose the "Library.xml" file you saved.
    First a status bar comes up that says, "Importing library." It has the continually-scrolling progress bar, not the one that starts on the left and steadily creeps right. Then after about 30 seconds, that clears out. Wait. Typically a few minutes. Eventually a status bar will pop up saying something like, "Evaluating gapless playback information," or something like that.
    The "Inactive" computer is now the "Active" computer. I can now play my library, it has all my playlists and metadata from the other machine.
    Delete all the duplicate playlists named "Music," "Genius," "Purchased," and "iTunes DJ."
    Well, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2 a few days ago and tried to do this again like I've done it dozens of times before. Now, iTunes just goes unresponsive after the library import. It got through the "Importing library" bar to the long wait and stopped. I can still multiprocess and use other programs, but iTunes is hovering back there not responding to clicks. Task Manager doesn't seem to think iTunes is using my CPU, and I don't see my hard drive rattling. Any thoughts on why iTunes might hang up when importing a large library?
    ... Also, please help lobby Apple to come up with a network sync tool built into iTunes for a user with multiple authorized computers. Something different than Home Sharing so I can pull my laptop off the network and still have the synced library with me. And all my metadata changes will sync. The technique I use seems a little kludgey, don't you think?

    iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).
