RH 10: TOC hierarchy limited to Books and Pages only?

I am generating WebHelp on Windows 7 Professional and viewing the generated help in IE 9.
In the TOC pod it looks like the TOC has only two levels of hierarchy for topics: Books and pages. There does not appear to be a way to add a topic below a page in the TOC hierarchy (a sub page of a page, in other words).
In the attached sceen shot, a topic is highlighted, and the right pointing arrow is not available.
Surely RH 10 does not restrict the TOC to just two levels.
Please let me know how to move a topic to appear under a page in the TOC.
Thanks.

Sorry but that's the way it works. You get books and pages. The books contain the pages. If you want topics indented below other topics, you will need to make another book. RoboHelp can help you with this. Right click the page and choose "Create Book from Page" and poof!
Cheers... Rick

Getting hierarchy of books and pages in portal - sitemap

Hi,
I am using BEA Portal 8.1 SP5. I want to get a list of all the books and pages (up to the lowest level as one book can contain multiple books) contained in the portal. I am using BookPresentationContext.getEntitledPagePresentationContexts function. I also tried getPagePresentationContexts function. These functions return data only for active books. If user is not within a book, I do not get information about all children of this book.
Is there a way to get hierarchy of all available books/pages? I want to use this information to create sitemap. Is there another way to do it with in portal?
I would appreciate any help in this regards.
Thank you,
mqassim

I would appreciate any help in this regards.You have tree optimization on hence you only get the active items. To disable
this for a specific request, such as to your site map, include the parameter
_nfto=false in the link. See the docs on tree optimization for more info here:

In particular, look at the section "Disabling Tree Optimization"

To change the TOC icons for books and pages

I want to change the TOC icons for books and pages.
How I do this?
Thank

Hi Christine and welcome to our community
Even in traditional WebHelp output, these are simple images.
I just created a non-skinned output to check. I'm using X5 and in
this version you should be able to find the following images:
* Closed book should be: whd_toc1.gif
* Open book should be: whd_toc2.gif
* Page should be: whd_toc3.gif
So if you want to influence changes to these, you would find
them in your output folder and simply replace (using the same file
name) with the image(s) of your choice.

Assign information types to books and pages

Hi,
I'm using Robohelp 7 HTML and am trying to Assign information types to books and pages. The information types are defined however I have no way of assigning them to the topics/books. All my categories are marked as "inclusive"
The Adobe Hep file says that:
Click View > Pods > Topic List. The Topics List appears.
From the Topics list, select the topic.
Click Properties .
Click the Information Types Tab. .......
There is no such Tab.
What am I doing wrong? Can someone please help

Hi there
You aren't doing anything wrong. What you have done is stumble across a feature of HTML Help that was never properly and fully implemented. I had a play with Information Types back in 2000 and concluded that they weren't worth the effort.
For one thing, they are far from intuitive for end users. An end user has to know they exist, then right-click the TOC and choose to sort the TOC by the Information Type (or types) that are available.
If you choose to continue with Information Types, I believe the process you follow is to create the types. Sounds like you have gotten that far. Then in the TOC you right-click the Books and Pages and examine the properties. On the ensuing dialog you click the Advanced tab and enable the Use Information Types option. Then you assign the types by clicking the Add... button near the bottom.
As Information types are only used with the TOC, it comes as no surprise there is nothing in Topic Properties to deal with them. Additionally, they only apply to CHM format and are totally moot if your output is WebHelp or FlashHelp.
My best advice would be to suggest to Adobe that incorrect information exists in the help. I'll be doing that with the comment you posted in the help topic. I just opened RoboHelp X5 and even as far back as X5 there is no Information Types tab in the Topic Properties.
Cheers... Rick

Changing ALT and Title Tags for Book and Page Icons

Hi folks,
Are you aware of any setting in Robo Help that would allow
you to modify or even remove the ALT and titles introduced for the
Book and and Page icons displayed on the navigation pane. I tried
deleting it from the RoboHHRE.lng file, but still its not going
away. Other than deleting it from the rendered files (whlstt0.htm)
is there any other setting within RoboHelp that would do the trick.
My idea is to remove all ALT and title attributes given to Book and
Pages as its causing too much redundancy.
Regards,
Prabhat

Hi Prabhat -
Apologies for the delayed response: while there is no
Robohelp checkbox for removing this, you can step into the
generated files and remove it. This thread should provide what
you're looking for:

Navigation structure with books and pages

We are setting up a navigation system in Portal 8.1. When setting this up, we have
run into some issues with the fact that books appear in the navigation structure,
but contain no content. As a result, we have had to create a homepage for each
book. This creates a repeat of the section name in the navigation structure, one
for the book and one for the page. For example, we have our Home book. Then we
have our Home page (since books cannot directly contain portlets). In our navigation
"Home" is repeated twice, but the book link just goes to the default page (either
the last visited page within that session or the top page in that book if the
no page has been visited).
The navigation we are trying to get is very similar to the one here on bea's website.
For example, when you click on Partners, it takes you to the Partners home page.
This section has many other pages located inside of it as well. Does anyone have
any suggestions on how to set this up?
Thanks!!!
Erin

I've opened a support case for this item. When I get this resolved I will post
the solution. But, to clarify the issue, the standard way that portal navigation
works is that when a user clicks on a book the user is directed to a default page.
This default page is either the last page visited during the session or the first
page in the book if no page has been visited. The problem is that the book itself
does not contain content. So if you wanted the "Partners" book to have a homepage
titled "Partners" (just like here on BEA's site) then the word "Partners" would
appear twice in the left nav (once as a book and once as a page). But only the
page would actually contain content. Plus when a user clicked on the "Partners"
book it would not always take them to the "Partners" homepage.

Not sure i understand your problem:
However:
Books can contain 1 or more Books and Pages, and can have an optional
menu.
Pages can contain Portlets and Books.
What is it that you want on the 'Partners' Book?

Portal, Book and pages enumeration

Hi, IÂ´m having a bit of a problem using Bea Workshop 8.1.5.
IÂ´m building a Portal which has inside books and pages.
The pages can hold inside books.
The problem is that I Â´ve using the methods
DesktopBackingContext dbc=DesktopBackingContext.getDesktopBackingContext(this.getRequest());
BookBackingContext books=dbc.getBookBackingContextRecursive(rama);
List lista=books.getPages(); //Here is the list of the books and pages that it contains.
where "rama" is a String containing the Definition label of the book where I want to start the enumeration.
If the portlet that contains the .jpf ,where the previous code is, is placed outside the main book, it works perfectly but if that same portlets is placed inside the main book o the books that it contains it wonÂ´t work.
I debugged it and it seems that this
books.getPages(); is returning null (as it has no books or pages, but it does!).
Does anybody knows what I am missing here?
Best
Alejo

You need to set the portal property Tree Optimization to false, this way you force the portal to create instances of all the trees but youÂ´ll loose performace.

HT204150 Hi, I made a mistake by allowing facebook to download all my contacts in my address book. Now i need to clean my address book and keep only my original contacts. If i do it on my macbook, will it reflect on my iphone?

Hi, I made a mistake by allowing facebook to download all my contacts in my address book. Now i need to clean my address book and keep only my original contacts. If i do it on my macbook, will it reflect on my iphone? Or will my iphone redownload all the contacts i deleted when i connect it to my macbook or through the cloud?
when working with icloud, is there a primary device (macbok, ipad...) on which if the changes are made, they reflect on all other devices?

I see. If you are syncing contacts with iCloud on both your Mac and your iPhone, deleting a contact from either device will delete them from icloud.com and all other devices.
What's really going on with iCloud is that your contacts actually reside on the iCloud server. Your Mac and iPhone are merely reading the current contact list as it exists on the server. When you delete a contact (or make any other change) on either device, you are making these changes on the server. As a result, all other devices "syncing" contacts with the same iCloud account will read this change. When you log onto icloud.com, you are viewing the server from your browser.

Additional icons for book and page?

I've been searching for a way to change the standard purple book and ? page icons. is there a way in RH8?

Indeed it can be done by right-clicking the TOC items and choosing Properties. From there choose the Advanced tab and you will see options.
This only works if Microsoft HTML Help has been configured as the Primary Layout.

How to implement multlingual on bea portal books and pages

Hi
We are are using BEA weblogic portal.
Now we want to use multilingual on bea portal.
Ho we can change the portal book's name and pages according to languages.
Regards
Paramdeep Singh

In your browser, you maintain your list of desired languages. This is an ordered list with the first language/locale in the list being the primary. This list of languages is passed to the server in as header. The portal server uses this header as the default mechanism to determine the language to serve back to the browser, although this behavior can be changed for your implementation if you wish. The server will look for a matching resource bundle based on the order of preference in your list of accepted languages.
So, if you want to receive fr_FR responses, ensure the fr_FR is listed first in your browsers list of languages and that you have created fr resources in your portal.

Photo books and page order

Ok i have a question about the page order on the photo books you make with iPhoto. Cover is.. a cover, then is Page 1 the page right behind the cover or the following one? On the book I've made page 2 and 3 look like as they are on the same side but if page 1 is the one behind the cover then the order should be like that : Page 1 & 2 go together, then Page 3 & 4 etc. I don't know if I made myself clear. I just want to make sure I've organized my book the way I want it to be.
Thanks in advance.

It is a book - when you open it odd numbered pages on on the right and even numbered pages on the left - same as every professional book made
Page 2 is the back side of Page 1, etc.
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
The preview will show the exact layout

Creating Portal Books and Pages dynamically

How do i create Portal Books Dynamically from a backingfile (preRender Method). And still be able to dynamically embed a portlet instance on each page created.
very urgrent

Hello,
You would want t use the methods available on the BookDefinitionManager and PageDefinitionManager EJBs to add a new book or page definition. then use the methods from the IPageInstanceManager and IBookInstanceManager interfaces implemented by the PortalCustomizationManager EJB to add the book / page under an existing book / page / desktop.
For the javadoc for all of these EJBs, see:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/javadoc/com/bea/netuix/application/manager/persistence/package-summary.html
Then, to access the EJB in your code, you can do the following (this example is for PageDefinitionManager, but it would be similar to all the other EJBs):
import com.bea.netuix.application.manager.persistence.PageDefinitionManagerHome;
import com.bea.netuix.application.manager.IPageDefinitionManager;
import com.bea.p13n.management.ApplicationHelper;
import com.bea.netuix.application.manager.CustomizationContext;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
// Access the PageDefinitionManager EJB
InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
String lookupName = PageDefinitionManagerHome.LOOKUP_NAME;
String applicationName = ApplicationHelper.getVersionedAppName();
if((applicationName != null) && (applicationName.length() > 0))
lookupName = applicationName + "." + lookupName;
Object home = context.lookup(lookupName);
home = PortableRemoteObject.narrow(home, PageDefinitionManagerHome.class)
IPageDefinitionManager pageManager = ((PageDefinitionManagerHome)home).create();

TS1424 I bought a book and it only gave be the first 8 pages, where do i go for a refund?

I purchased the kids book, "Traction Man is Here!" by Mini Grey. It only gave me the first 8 pages and charged me for it. Where do I go to report for a refund?

Have you tried deleting the book from the bookshelf in the iBooks app and then re-downloading it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app ? If it re-downloads in the same incomplete state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that book and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
