RH11 TOC "book with link" icon
Hello! I have a question about customizing the TOC icons in RH11. I used the Responsive HTML5 Settings GUI to change all the TOC icons... EXCEPT the open book with link. This appears to be pulling a .png from the template resources folder, but there is no way to change it in the output settings within RH11 itself. Can I edit one of the Javascript files get it to pull a custom icon? Or am I stuck with the default icon? (In the image below, it's the third icon down.)
Thanks!
I have moved this post to the correct forum. Please take a look at the sticky topics.
Willam is our resident guru on these matters but pending his confirmation, I think the solution is to locate the image in the template folder and substitute it with what you want, using the same name and backing up the original in case.

Link in Webhelp to open sub-TOC tree of a 'Book with Link'
RH8 HTML
Hi all, hoping I can find a solution for this.
Currently, and as it should, I link to a page in my webhelp, from within my webhelp. i.e front page has a link that refers to another section in the webhelp. The links work fine, these links however are going to the 'book' (I created the TOC books to be books with links) and within these books are other topics.#
Is there a way to make it so that when the user clicks a link that goes to one of these 'books' in the TOC, that the toc tree also drops down.
example (hard to explain)
TOC
Home (contains link that user clicks which goes to Page 1)
Page 1 (book with link)
sub-page1 (remains closed until user opens it by clicking 'Page 1' book)
subpage 2 (remains closed until user opens it by clicking 'Page 1' book)
I would like those sub-pages to be opened when the link is clicked. Can it be done?
Thanks, hope its clear....Hi all
For what it's worth, Leon's suggestion is what I too would recommend. When I facilitate a RoboHelp class and am discussing the "Book with link" feature, I typically will suggest that this approach is used.
@Leon - I think this changed with a recent forum upgrade. Annoying, isn't it?
Standard definiton of any upgrade: Uninstall old bugs. Install new ones.
Cheers... Rick

Linking to "book with link" topics
Hi Everyone,
In RH10, is it possible to link to a topic that is a "book with link" topic and have the book topic expand in the TOC?
If you link to a normal topic with the "Autosynchronise TOC" option switched on, the destination topic in the TOC is highlighted in grey and the book is expanded like this:
However if I link to the Printing book topic, the book looks like this:
But I'd like it to look like this:
Can this be done?
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
AndyThank you Rick.
Apologies if I'm being obtuse here, but I don't fully understand your suggestion.
>> You could accomplish it by creating a topic known as a "redirect" topic.
Do you mean the source topic links to the redirect topic, which in turn "links" to the destination book topic via the meta tag?
Cheers,

Webhelp RH8: TOC book not linking to topic
Hi (again),
I seem to have another little issue.
In generating our helpsystem, we would like to have books that display general information when clicked and also display the subsequent topics. That all works fine, I link a topic to the TOC book and it displays the contents of the selected page.
However, when I only have a book (no topics), linking a topic does not work. In the output it displays as a page. Is there a way I can have a book linked to a topic while there are no other topics in that book?Thanks RoboColum(n) for your pointer. Due to time limitations I could only look at it briefly and give it one try. Redirecting didn't work in this instance. I have a few redirect pages which work fine but so far I haven't managed to get a book to display when there is only one page in that book. For now I have avoided the problem by having an empty page when the book is clicked. Not pretty and I will be looking at this again when there is more time.

"book with link" to topic in subfolder
Hi folks,
I have a book with a link that links to a subtopic (see structure below). When I click Book1, the 1.1. Book doesn't open and won't open when clicked on. I have a vague memory of there being an issue around this but could not find anything in the forum search.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Donal

What version/flavour of RoboHelp are you using and what is your output? If you're using WebHelp, which browsers do you use (including version) and do they have any plug ins?

In the HTML version of RoboHelp 6 we can edit the book
properties and link a topic to a book so that there are no
"redundant" items in the TOC; all items when selected display a
topic.
Can the same be done in the Word version of Robohelp

Plus/minus icon for TOC books
Afternoon all,
So I see that in RH8, I can create a TOC. When in the RH8 application, the TOC Pod shows +/- or expand/contract icons to the left of each TOC book, with little dashed lines to each book/page.
But when I generate WebHelp, no such +/- icons appear.
Am I missing something? Or is the +/- just a feature of the TOC within RH8? I'd like them to display in my WebHelp output like they do in CHMs. I don't necessarily need the dashed lines.
Any clue you can bat my way...
Thanks,
PatrickHi Patrick

I'm working with RoboHelp X5 in a HTML help project. I have a
project example that has links to the TOC books. You click in a
link and it shows you the explanation of a TOC book. I know how to
do books with links, but I don't know how to link text to TOC
books.Hi kamarques and welcome to the forums.
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are trying to do.
When you link to a book in the TOC, you are actually just
connecting that book to a topic. If you want to link text to that
same topic, you would just select that topic when you hyperlink the
text.
I hope this helps

TOC Book Problem - RoboHelp 8 - WebHelp Pro
Hello, I'm having a problem in a generated build of help to RoboServer 8. TOC books are linking to the previous page of the toc book above that particular book and this rings true throughout the TOC. I didn't add any links and just wanted to books to be just that books and when you click the book the subtopics within that book should display. Anyone have this problem and what can I do? I see that I can link the book to a particular page, but don't really want that. Any suggestions to correct this problem quickly. We just had a release of our product over the weekend and this is causing quite a stir. Thanks, Lana
I have come acoss issues being reported in adobe forums that webhelp output cannot be viewed in IE 10. Fixes are provided for Robohelp 10 @http://forums.adobe.com/community/robohelp/robohelp_webhelp?view=discussions where we are given a link with the fixes @.http://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/kb/help-visible-using-win-8-ie.html but no fixes are available for robohelp 8. Please provide a similar fix for robohelp 8
Request the adobe development team to get back ASAP as we do not have the timeframe to upgrade to robohelp 10. -
Best way to handle duplicate headings stemming from linked TOC book?
What's the best way to handle duplicate topic titles stemming from TOC books that contain links to a topic that you want to have appear in the body? The problem I've had for years now is that the TOC generates one heading, and the topic itself generates one heading.This results in duplicate headings in the printed output.
I have a large ~2500 topic project I have to print every release, and to date we've been handling it in post-build word macros, but it's not 100% effective, so we're looking to fix this issue on the source side of the fence. On some of our smaller projects, we've actually marked with the heading in the topic itself with the Online CBT and that seems to work. We're thinking of doing the same to our huge project unless there's a better way of handling this. Any suggestions?See the tip immediately above this link. http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/printing/rh9_printing.htm#wizard_page3
The alternative is to remove the topic from the print layout so that it only generates by virtue of its link to the book.

This one might require some back story.
I'm working at a company with roughly 60 business units that will each be getting their own emergency response procedures (.FM files compiled into a single FrameMaker .book file for their department). I then want to link all of these books to a single RoboHelp so that when it comes time to publish all of these plans into WebHelp menus I can do that with a single batch generate/publish.
My problem is that some of the FM files within the books are shared (maybe two or more departments are at the same location or all of them share the same corporate level plans) so that when I try to link two books with a shared FM file it throws an error.
Is there away to allow multiple copies of a FM file to exist in a single RoboHelp? Or is there a better solution to the task at hand?
Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated as I am still a moderate beginner with Frame and RoboHelp.
---Corey---
P.S. Just to complicate things this will all be done via SharePoint so books and FM files live there, and then the RoboHelp output will be published there.I think you’re looking at creating a merged RH project – one parent project that subsumes all the linked FM to RH child projects – read up on merged help on Peter’s site (grainge.org)

I'm using Mail 5.3 and Address Book 6.1.3 on X 10.7.5. I want my contact photos to show up in the message list on Mail, but only some of them do, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it. I've even tried replacing a photo that doesn't show up with a photo that does show up for a different contact but no luck. I am syncing to one other Mac, an iPhone and an iPad via iCloud.

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!
Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

Greetings,
I am using RX7 to develop a WebHelp project. My client would
like to have Splash page which allows the user to click a link and
display a specific TOC Book.
I can meet the client requirement by creating separate
projects and linking from the Splash page to the project.
Is it possible to create a single project, have the Splash
page display and then open a specific book when the corresponding
link is clicked?
Thanks,I suggest creating a topic that is your splash page. Then, in
the Properties dialog of the TOC book in the TOC pod, link a topic
to the book. Next, the link on the splash page would point to the
topic that is linked to the book.
If you don't want the splash page in the TOC, you could leave
it out.
Hope this helps,

I was attempting to upload a video to face book and decided to cancel, now I can not get the quicktime icon with Facebook icon embedded to delete? what are steps to clear desktop?
A warm welcome to Apple discussions!
A 2003 iMac cannot support Snow Leopard 10.6; you'd need an Intel processor and that cannot be retrofitted to your Mac. What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say for your processor speed? What does it say about how much RAM you have?
If the processor is 1ghz or faster, you can run OS 10.5; otherwise, you are maxed out at 10.4.11.
Also, are you running any commercial ("pay for") anti-virus or security software? They are notorious for slowing most Macs to a fraction of their speed potential.
A too-full hard drive can drag down performance, especially if you don't have a lot of physical RAM installed. If you single-click your hard drive icon and then do command i, you'll see the disk usage. Looks like this:
The value for "Used" should be no more than about 90 percent of "Capacity." In the example image, that drive has about 34 percent of its space used and 66 percent free--more than enough. Please post what you see for your Capacity and Used numbers
There are a few more things we might check but this is a good start.
Awaiting your information,
Allan
