RH6: HTML: Link to Index and Glossary

I built a project in RH6 to generate WebHelp. How can I link
to the Glossary and Index from the Content Area (i.e., right
pane)?

Thanks for the tip; Skinny on Skins documents the calls for
Glossary, Index, and some other goodies. Despite the excellent
resource, my Glossary link (only one I tried) failed in my test
page. This might be related to RH6's handling of baggage files. I
plainly saw "whtbar.js" in RH6's baggage files, but it didn't
appear in my site. But, I did find "whtbar_ns.js" in my site even
though it was nowhere in my project. I inserted references to both
names in the head of my test page, but had no joy. I needed to move
on to other tasks. I will revisit this issue a litte later.

Order of Index and Glossary in Printed Documentation

In my RoboHelp HTML project, I'm adding an Index and Glossary to the Printed Documentation section layout. I want both files below the Chapter Layout icon. They both will go no further than the first icon above the TOC. The down arrow is grayed out.
Someone else had this problem, and the answer was to click the last icon in the Section layout and then add the files. This did not work for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem with RH8.
What corrected it for me was to delete the TOC, click the + button, add the Index (it magically appeared where it was supposed to be, at the end), then click the + button again to add the TOC back in. (I don't have a Glossary in my section layout)

Help!! Can't access TOC, Index, and Glossary

Help!!! I renamed my project. Then I renamed the TOC, Index, and Glossary-which I know I shouldn't have done. Now I cannot access them within my project. I tried to rename them back, but now I have both sets or named TOC,index, and Glossary, and neither works when I open my project. I have a copy of the chm with the correct TOC, Index, and Glossary. Can I extract them from this?

Did you perform the renaming from the Rename functionality inside RoboHelp? If so there is no reason why you can't rename projects, TOCs, Indexes or Glossaries. Can you tell us what version of RoboHelp you are using and exactly what TOC, Index and Glossary are being displayed inside the project. An image may help us here which you can post by using the icon below.

On Page 1 of the wizard, why are the Table of Contents, Index, and Glossary drop-downs grayed out?

RoboHelp HTML, RH7
Also, the Generate Adobe PDF option is grayed out.
Thanks,

Hi there
In addition to what Peter advised, my own guess as to why they are disabled (grayed out) is probably because you don't have more than one defined? It would make sense that unless more than one of each was present, they would be unavailable.
Now if you *DO* have more than one of each defined, I'm at a loss to explain why they might be presented in a disabled state.
Cheers... Rick

HTML web gallery indexes and bug with Chrome browsers

I'm getting weird results with Lightroom to generate HTML web galleries and viewed on a Chrome browsers where the last image in a row drops down to the next row, making the index look horked? Sample page below, could someone using Chrome let me know if they are seeing the same thing? Is this an issues isolated to me, or known by Adobe? http://www.wrestlersarewarriors.com/images/wrestling/college/2015/15CMWSFSSTAN/index.html

Tried it on Chrome 40.0.2214.111m running on Win7 and it looks ok.
There is a 6x5 grid of photos, none out of place.
Checked through several different galleries. Firefox 35 and IE 11 all look the same.
I can also check it out on a chromebook tomorrow when at work

Flash hijacking HTML links while images are loading

I've designed a slide show player using Flash and Actionscript 3.0 which loads several external images. While the images are loading, the HTML links on my page (outside of the Flash movie) don't work. As soon as all the images are loaded, the links start working again. It seems like the Flash player is hijacking the browser while the images are loading which can take the better part of a minute depending on my connection speed. I can click an HTML link once during the loading time and as soon as the images have loaded, the browser loads the new page (the one the HTML links to). Once all the images are in my Temporary Internet Files folder, this problem ceases to exist (since the images no longer need to be downloaded). It's only first-time viewers that will have this problem, but it's a pretty major problem.
To see what I'm talking about, go to:
http://www.ericlindberg.com/indexTemp.html
Click the Images button after the "Loading..." animation disappears but before all the images are loaded. As the images load the thumbnails at the bottom of the Flash player go from 50% to 100% opaque. If you click the "Images" button before all the thumbnails are 100% opaque, nothing happens. However, once they are all loaded and the thumbnails are all 100% opaque, the "Images" page loads. You can do the same thing with any of the subpages in the Images section of the site and get the same results.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Joe

I have something similar on my site.

You might try using CSS rollovers instead of MM (javascript) rollovers. Straight HTML links load fast and work immediately.

RoboHelp Glossary, Index, and TOC Features

I looked at some online training that had a really nice glossary feature. I'm trying to figure out if Robohelp is what I need to accomplish something like this since it claims to have such great glossary, Index, and TOC features. However, I can't find a demo developed in Robohelp showing what these features are capable of. Does anyone know of any demonstrations that I could view to see if this is what I'm looking for before I purchase?

No, I actually don't have anything yet. I considered downloading the trial version, but I didn't want to spend the time to learn the software if it didn't have what I needed.
I see from your site that it is what I'm looking, and thank you so much for sending me that link. Now I know, buying RoboHelp and learning it won't be a waste of time and money.

Subject: RoboHelp Glossary, Index, and TOC Features
Hi, Melbert2000
It's not clear whether you already use RoboHelp or have installed the trial version as part of your evaluation. Assuming you have, each release of RoboHelp comes with sample projects to help explore features. For example, Adobe RoboHelp 8 comes with a project called Web Graphics.
One quick way to see the TOC/Index/Glossary in action would be on my site, called Clownfish School.
http://www.showmethedemo.com/clownfish_school/
You will notice the Glossary is visible in two ways. First, as a Glossary button which shows in the Navigation pane. Second is in the form or expanding hotspots within topic text. You can see some examples if you go to the topic "News from Thailand and Greece" Click on the maroon color words "Anemonefish" and "Clownfish" and you will see how the Glossary hotspots show or hide as you click on them.
As part of your purchase evaluation, I would recommend you download the Adobe RoboHelp Reviewer's Guide here to get a better idea of the various features:
https://acrobat.com/#d=5bE00menRN24n8TzSel0Iw
And the Web Graphics Sample project can be downloaded here:

Hope this helps.

Can't link to index.html

(Domains and project names are redacted.)
I am publishing a Doxygen HTML tree using OS X Server (Mountain Lion). I have "Websites" on, and in "Server Website," I have aliased "/MyProject" to "/Users/fritza/Department/Project/docs/html". "index.html" is the first in the list (I have not touched it) of index file names.
There is an index.html file in that directory. Accessing http://my.example.com/MyProject gives me the Doxygen main page, and I can navigate from there. Good.
But there is a "Main Page" link on each page, which is coded as:
<a href="index.html"><span>Main Page</span></a>
An HREF to "index.html" should be no problem, right? (The website's tree is flat, by the way.)
Instead, when I click the link, I get a 404 page, and the complaint that /MyProject/index.html/ (note the trailing slash) is not found. This happens even if you click the link as it appears in index.html itself.
Linking to index.html, the file, seems like an elementary thing to do. Other people must be getting the correct behavior. What have I done wrong?

Logo is what file type?
What is the URL to your online problem page?

HTML links in Vibe Feed and digest e-mails do not work on GW 8.0.3client

I have GroupWise 8.0.3hp1 on NetWare 6.5.8 and a Vibe 3.3 install on
SUSE 11 (the downloadable Vibe demo virtual machine from Novell's site).
I have recently started upgrading GroupWise clients on Windows 7 PCs
(64bit), and have been testing Vibe. I have run into a problem with
HTML links in GW clients not working on PCs where the GW client has been
upgraded.
This problem occurs using the GroupWise 8.0.3hp2 and 8.0.3hp3 clients,
but does not occur on a 8.0.2hp2 client, so it appears to be GroupWise
client related. I haven't tested any other client versions.
1. When using the GW 8.0.3 client, if I select any of the "Novell Vibe
OnPrem", "Favorites", or "My Teams" folders, I can see the Vibe Feed
display showing entries for sites I'm following. But clicking on the
links in these entries does nothing, so I cannot use the Vibe Feed to go
directly to files, profiles, etc. The same Vibe Feed links from the
Vibe web browser interface or from a GW8.0.2hp2 client works fine.
2. If I have e-mail digest notifications setup to let me know when
changes are made to a folder or file in Vibe, the e-mails are delivered
to me just fine. But once again, none of the links in the e-mails work
when using the GW8.0.3 client. Clicking on them does nothing. If I
look at the e-mail message source, I can copy-and-paste the URLs
directly into a browser and they work fine, so the URLs themselves are
correct. Again, these links work fine if I use the GroupWise WebAccess
or a GW8.0.2hp2 client.
Is the GW 8.0.3 client is blocking these HTML links? I receive no
notification from the client asking whether to "unblock" any
links/scripts/images when viewing messages with these Vibe links.
Any suggestions for getting these to work on GW 8.0.3 client?
Thanks,
-Greg

Is there a way to select MULTIPLE tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs and titles/or URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; However, I prefer to use a Firefox feature rather than download an add on. Thanks.

Currently, I can copy ONE tab's url and nothing else (not its name). Or I can bookmark all tabs that are open. However, I'd like to have the ability to select multiple tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs AND their titles/or copy ALL of the URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; when I download the add on, I get a message saying that using the add on will disable Firefox's tab features. I prefer to use Firefox features rather than download and use an add on. Is there a way to do this without an add on?

Hi LRagsdale517,
You should definitely be able to upload multiple files by Shift-clicking or Ctrl-clicking the files you want to upload. Just to make sure you don't have an old version of the service cached, please clear the browser cache and then log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. After clicking the File Upload icon in the upper-right corner, you should be able so select multiple files for upload.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Custom html file with pix and links as Mac desktop display?

Hi, in Windows it is possible to select an html file to use as your desktop display...pictures, web links, and links to network and local folders, files, and applications can be written directly into the html page. It was actually really nice.
How can this be done on a Mac?
It would be great to have personal pictures, text (poems and to do lists) displayed as the desktop background...with links to files (inspirational .mov files, recently used files, even the html file for the desktop itself for quick changes), links to start applications, and links to favorite websites...all accessible from the desktop itself.
Alternatively, would these links need to be placed in the dashboard or expose or ? Would the text over a background image in html need to be composited into a static image file?
thanks

I don't believe there is a way in the Mac world to specify anything but image files to be used as your desktop.
I might suggest that you open the HTML fileof your choice in a browser, and take a screen shot of the output. Then you can assign that screen shot to be your desktop.
Command-shift-4 will give you a crosshair cursor to drag around the area you wish to capture.

Convert Pages document to PDF and maintain html links accurately

Hi - I am trying to convert a Pages document to pdf, simple right? go to Print / PDF / Save as pdf...
I have also tried Print / Save as Postscript and Print / Open in PDF
with the same results, which are...
Pages dutifully converts to pdf, but on some pages where I have multiple links the formatting position of the links is all over the place on the page, some links are conflated on the page so it says one thing 'www.bbc.co.uk' for example but when you click that link it links to 'www.cnn.com' instead because CNN is the link a little further on in the line, or in the line of text above, or whole sections of the page (half of one page) become a link!
I have checked the formatting positions and link lables over and over again in Pages and they are spot on, no confusion, no leaking in positional accuracy, it is only when converting to pdf or postscript
I have many html links in my document so it is vital that the exact position of the formatted links in Pages is converted accurately.
Any advice on
a) using Pages Print command accurately? or
b) third party apps (really dont want to go there)
that might convert more accurately?
many thanks

Thank you Roger!
I went back to 09 as suggested which identified the section in question as having a whole load of text that had become associated with one of the links - goodness knows how or why - but this wasn't apparent in the Pages 5 doc, nothing explicit signified that there was an issue with the formatting until converting to pdf
It took me a while to strip it all out without losing all the other formatting! but done now and converting beautifully to pdf with complete accuracy in terms of formatting positions of linked text...
I then reimported back into Pages 5 to see if I could make sense of it in the same way, long story short no chance, there is still background formatting in there, despite going through it line by line, character by character and removing all traces of any link through the 'right click' 'remove link' function - as soon as you convert to pdf lots of text becomes active again even though it is absolutely not visible in the Pages 5 doc
Clearly, despite a strong desire to continue in 5 from a being uptodate perspective, I shall stick to the 09 world and wait for Apple to sort things out.
If anyone from Apple is reading this, it has cost me approx 2 days of messing about to get to a point where I give up on 5 and return to 09. Please resolve as soon as possible!

Tabbing issues - form fields and HTML links

I have a few HTML links in the top of a page with a form starting half way down the page. When using the tab order, I am able to specify tab order no problem in the form fields but when previewing or using the PDF and tabbing through, the tab order gets thrown out of wack and jumps up to the HTML links from tab order, 1 -2 HTML - HTML - 3- 4- so on... I am unable to scpecify a tab order for the HTML links as it gives no option. I have tried to send the text field to a back layer but it does nothing. Is there anything I can do to correct this?

For many people submit by e-mail can never work, because their PC is
not set up to send email. For example, countless millions use only
Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo or similar.
It's also possible you set options (like "submit whole PDF") that
don't work with the free Reader.
It's best to think of "submit by e-mail" as something to help you in
the prototyping before moving on to a proper web-based solution.

Html:link submit and passing parameters

I need to submit the form when the <html:link ..... > is clicked/pressed and also need to pass parameters.
<jsp:useBean id="mapParams" class="java.util.HashMap"/>
<c:set target="${mapParams}" property="theKey" value="${theValue}"/>
<c:set target="${mapParams}" property="theKey1" value="${theValue1}"/>
<html:link href="javascript:document.myform.submit()" name="mapParams" >
<c:out value="${custItr.empName}"/>
</html:link>
When i click on the link getting javascript error which says "syntax error". when I remove the "name" attribute in <html:link> there is no error but I need to have the name attribute to pass the parameters.
How to do both the submit and passing of parameters using <html:link>? Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Parameters can only be passed like that to an actual URL. eg http://localhost:8080/myApp/showEmployee?id=123&dept=Sales
In this case, you are using the link tag to invoke javascript - not a url. URL Parameters don't apply to this string
If you are indeed submitting a form, I would suggest that you instead go with putting hidden fields on the form to submit the value.
Use <html:hidden>
