RH7 WebHelp doesn't do Fields??

Hi -
I was just reading the RH7 documentation (we're still
evaluating apps) and I found something that I need clarification
on.
I'm pretty sure that WebHelp is the output we need to use
because no files or DLLs can be stored on the users computer while
they fill out this online form. Maybe I have it wrong that
Microsoft HTML Help projects do just that - compile the Help docs
and install them on the users hard drive.
So then there is this definition in RH7 docs...
"Field level help - ...Briefly describes a field. A users
accesses it by clicking a question-mark icon, then clicking a field
in a dialog box.
Then there is this shocker...
WebHelp, WebHelp Pro, FlashHelp and FlashHelp Pro do not
support field-level Help."
I assumed we could put little question marks near form fields
for the user to click and get some kind of "popups" with Help
content. But this says WebHelp won't do that.
Is there another way to get the same field level interaction
using WebHelp? What am I misunderstanding here?
TIA some input.
JL

Hi, Josh.
Good news! Yes you CAN have field level help in Webhelp et
al.
There seems to be a lot of confusion about the type of help
and the type of application that's being supported. The "shocker"
phrase you quoted was properly alerting you to the fact that
"What's this field level help" (a format created by Microsoft) is
generally thought of for use with the old WinHelp and MS HTML Help
(.chm) files that support *desktop applications*. So the
documentation was just trying to distinguish between that kind of
field level technique vs the field level help for *web
applications* that WebHelp/Flashelp absolutely supports.
FIeld level help with WebHelp is actually very easy. I have
an example on my website and also wrote an article about it on the
Adobe Developer Connection.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/robohelp/articles/context_help.html
Also to be clear, no DLLs or other files are required to be
installed on a user's local computer fo WebHelp CSH help. I don't
know where this idea could have come from?
To see a very brief sample of field level help working with
WebHelp check out my site:
http://www.hypertexas.com/bdb/
It describes using RoboHelp's WebHelp API but there are many
ways in which field level help can be called depending on what
development environment the programmers are using.
(Note that the blue links could just as easily be
questionmark icons.)
Thanx!
John

Batch reading request doesn't prefix field names by table name

A batch reading request doesn't prefix field names by table name and I've got a AmbigiousException which is normal because there is the same fields in the 2 tables.
The following code :
//call a ReadAllQuery and return a list of AffaireImpl
List<Affaire> listeAffaire = affaireDao.getAffaireCorrespondantes(lccJrd, lnaAnnee, lnaOrdre, lcNataffCode, lnaNoSuite);
for (Affaire affaire : listeAffaire) {
   //there is a one to Many mapping on Affaire to Dossier, with Transparent Indirection, Read-Ony and Batch Reading
   //this metod generate the wrong batch reading method
   List<Dossier> listeDossiers = affaire.getDossier();
generates the following requests:
ReadAllQuery(eu.curia.litige.model.AffaireImpl) --
SELECT * FROM LA_AFF WHERE ( ((LCC_JRD = 'C') AND (LNA_ANNEE = 8)) AND (LNA_ORDRE = 8))
ReadAllQuery(eu.curia.litige.model.DossierImpl) --
SELECT t0.*
FROM LA_DOSSIER t0, LA_AFF t1
WHERE
(((t0.LNA_NO_SUITE = t1.LNA_NO_SUITE) AND ((t0.LCC_JRD = t1.LCC_JRD) AND ((t0.LC_NATAFF_CODE = t1.LC_NATAFF_CODE) AND ((t0.LNA_ANNEE = t1.LNA_ANNEE) AND (t0.LNA_ORDRE = t1.LNA_ORDRE)))))
AND UPPER(LCC_JRD) = 'C' AND UPPER(LNA_ORDRE) = '8' AND UPPER(LNA_ANNEE) = '8')+
but the request should be :
SELECT t0.*
FROM LA_DOSSIER t0, LA_AFF t1
WHERE
(((t0.LNA_NO_SUITE = t1.LNA_NO_SUITE) AND ((t0.LCC_JRD = t1.LCC_JRD) AND ((t0.LC_NATAFF_CODE = t1.LC_NATAFF_CODE) AND ((t0.LNA_ANNEE = t1.LNA_ANNEE) AND (t0.LNA_ORDRE = t1.LNA_ORDRE)))))
AND t1.LCC_JRD = 'C' AND t1.LNA_ORDRE = '8' AND t1.LNA_ANNEE = '8')+
It's strange because this is the only place the batch reading doesn't prefix and uses a UPPER.
For now we have disabled the batch reading, but it decreases the performanes (the list of affaire can be hudge).
Any Idea?
We use TopLink 10.1.3 on a Oracle 10g Database.

RH7 WebHelp Output Missing TOC, Index, Search

I updated my RH6 HTML project to RH7 HTML. When I publish,
everything looks good. I uploaded all project files to my company's
server, and a coworker saved those files to her computer. When my
coworker publishes WebHelp from her computer, the TOC, Index, and
Search components are missing. Can anyone assist? Thank you!

Thank goodness I found this thread!
I'm having the exact same issue. I'm using version 5.0.2 of
RoboHelp, and when I generate WebHelp (the collection of HTML
files) and test it on my PC, it works fine. When I copy the files
over to my company's server, my TOC is missing, Serch is missing,
Index is missing.
I tested this with other PCs in my company, and some display
the content fine (from the server location), others don't.
I noticed that I get an error message "flash" at the bottom
of IE when I mouse over the TOC frame. It states "Load: class
WebHelp not found". I've double checked, and all of the files that
are generated on my PC are also in the same folder that I copied
over to the server.
Could RoboHelp be having issues with certian servers, or
versions of IE w/ certain servers? This doesn't seem to be a
blanket issue with all users of this information, only some.

RH7- WebHelp Pro setting destination for RH Server 8

I'm trying to set the RH Server 8 "area" in the Destination window using RH7 and WebHelp Pro layout but there's not field available. Because of this, the default is always the "general" area, which means I cannot separate out my 4-5 projects for reporting purposes using the Access database.
FYI - The same is true for FlasHelp Pro layout using RH7 and RH8 (which I'm testing). However, in RH8, you can specify the area if you're using WebHelp Pro as primary layout.
Since I'm not allowed to switch to RH8 at this time because of internal procedures, I want to publish my projects using WebHelp Pro layout in RH7. Is there any way to plug the server area into the project without having to redo the set up every time?

My guess is that John is facilitating a class as he hasn't yet made an appearance. So maybe near lunchtime but more likely this evening unless he is traveling.
Just speculating on this but as Colum indicated, areas are new to 8 so I'd be shocked to see them being listed as an option in a patched up 7.
Cheers... Rick

Form doesn't update fields in Adobe Reader XI

I created a form in Acrobat X Pro, it has a bunch of radio buttons the user must select. The last page is the results page, which has JS code that is executed when entering the page. If I test the form in Acrobat X, the results page properly updates the results fields as soon as you enter the page.
But if I open the page in Adobe Reader XI, the fields in the result page will not update until I save the page. This didn't happened before, forms always behaved the same in Acrobat and Reader. I also tested forms I created months ago, and had the same result.
Does anybody know what's going on here? Thank you.

After doing more testing, the Page Open event works in Reader but is very slow updating the result page that has the code and uses the Page Open event.
In Acrobat happens instantly, but in Reader takes a loooong time, sometimes seems that doesn't even update, as it takes forever. Wonder if my Reader's settings are screwed up?
Basically you have two pages, page one with a 4-choice radio button and, page two with a text field to report the value of the selected button choice.
Page two has the following code as Page Opens:
var buttonV = this.getField("Group1").value;
getField("Text1").value = buttonV;

WebHelp doesn't display in IE8 after applying IE10 fix

We're using RoboHTML 9 to generate WebHelp. We've applied the IE10 fixes to the output; however, after copying and replacing the 2 files, the Help does not display in IE8. We are running the Help locally in a Windows 7 system.
Tons of js errors appear in IE8...examples:
'whMessage' is undefined
whskin_frmset01.htm
Message: Script error
Line: 0
Char: 0
Code: 0
URI: file:///[masked]/WebHelp/whver.js
Message: Script error
Line: 0
Char: 0
Code: 0
URI: file:///[masked]/WebHelp/whutils.js
We've cleared cache and the errors still appear. Doesn't occur in Firefox and Chrome. Any ideas?

Weird. Does it work in IE10 though?
This almost suggests that there is a syntax error in one of the scripts blocking the execution. But that would normally break all browsers...
Do you have a plugin like ChromeFrame installed? Perhaps that is playing foul.
If you click F12 and go to the tab console, reload the page. Can you post the errors from the console?
Greet,
Willam

RH-generated WebHelp doesn't display some CSS styles

I've worked with RH for a while, including creating other WebHelp projects in RH that have been deployed without any problem. On my current RH9 project, however, some of the CSS styles are not being applied after the project output is moved to a network directory. When I open the project output on my Desktop, the styles all render correctly.
The styles in question aren't especially unusual:
DIV.text {
          width: 640px;
          padding-left: 25px;
          padding-right: 25px;
          padding-bottom: 25px;
          margin-left: auto;
          margin-right: auto;
          background-color: #EDEBDE;
P.footer {
          text-align: center;
          font-size: 8pt;
          line-height: 25%;
          color: #A13619;
The kicker is that some of the styles ARE being applied (e.g., background image), while the 2 styles above are NOT being applied.
Some of the things I've already tried include:
- creating a new copy of the CSS file
- making sure the correct stylesheet is referenced in the HTML files
- making sure the correct stylesheet is referenced in the MasterPage
- making sure the correct CSS type is specified in the HTML files
- adding "!important" to the styles that aren't being applied
Has anyone seen / resolved issues like this before?
Thanks!

Solution:
My supervisor and I huddled on the problem and eventually found these discussions:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4966952/ie-not-rendering-css-properly-when-the-site-is- located-at-networkdrive
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/167657/will-targeting-ie8-with-conditional-comments-wor k#answer-168131
I opened the IE Tools > Developer Tools panel, and used the Browser Mode settings to check the variations (IE7, IE8, and IE8 Compatibility). IE8 displayed all DIVs correctly, while the other two apparently severed the CSS file from the HTM file.
I had to do a mass find/replace, pasting another meta tag below the RH generated compatibility check:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
And there was much rejoicing.
As an aside, the new meta tag did not work when I tried to apply it to the Master Page....which makes sense, I guess.

The WebHelp doesn't open in Chrome using Robohelp word X5

Hello All,
I am using Robohelp X5 (very old version) to generate webhelp. They seem to work fine in all the browsers except Chrome. When i click on the help the blank pop up opens.. It does not load the content. Infact i downloaded the new version of whver.js file from Peter Grainge Snippets section. I am afraid that was for Robohelp 7... However i replaced the whver.js file generated the new output and uploaded them. Even then the Webhelp in chrome is not working..
I can see only 2 blank windows which just says "about blank" on top...
Any suggestions will be appreciated...

RoboHelp does not support Chrome, even the current version. You could see if your help works with the current version by using the trial but do not load it on your production machine as you will likely encounter problems if you revert to X5. If it does not work, you're out of luck.

Why doesn't a field update?

Hi,
I have an update screen, and I can't figure out why a text
field won't update. I've tried a checkbox and a list and now I have
it as just a text box. The date/time modified is updating, but not
the approved field at the bottom of the screen does not update.
I have struggled with this screen to get all the data to
display, and ordered the SQL select so the data is roughly in the
same order as it is displayed.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
This is the screen:
http://67.199.64.241/admin/pa/appdetail.asp?PA_ID=27
Many, many thanks...

Hi MaxMuld,
Because it has to be ArrayCollection, not the Array.
Documentation about Datagrid.dataProvider says that Array as
provider will be converted to ArrayCollection. And ArrayCollection
performs all the notifications if you add/delete items in it.
If you still want to use Array you should do the following:
var ar= new Array();
ar.push(x)
grid.dataProvider = ar;
grid.dataProvider = new Array();
ar.pop();
grid.dataProvider = ar;
But this is very inefficient.

Opening a link in a specific window size - RH7, WebHelp

I was given the answer to this recently, but I accidentally erased it and now can't find it again. If someone can give it to me again, I promise to save it somewhere safe!
I have a link that opens a new window that needs to be a specific size, without toolbars, etc. I know there's some simple code you can add, but I'm not an HTML programmer. Does anybody have it?

I got the answer..Adding following property works
<Property name='target' value='_blank'/>

Field-level Help possible with WebHelp?

Hi All,
I'm trying to determine whether WebHelp supports field-level
help, and between reading the online Help and the forums, I'm
confused. The online help states "WebHelp window support is only
available with the context-sensitive Help API." Does that mean that
WebHelp doesn't officially support field-level help? I'm sure we
can implement field-level help with some creative programming, but
I'm not sure of the requirements.
Is the CSH API required for field-level help? Or do we need
only implement the solutions described on
Peter's
site detailing calling WebHelp? And the RoboHelp Office
TechNote
Calling
Topics with Two Pane View?
I appreciate any assistance that anyone can provide!
want2bewiser

want2bewiser -
If you recall, field-level help was implemented by clicking
on a Question mark icon on the top right in the title bar. Your
cursor changed to a Question Mark and pointer, and clicking on a
field, button or other control would evoke a popup.
You can duplicate that functionality, but the lions's share
of the work would be on the developers. You can provide the small
blurbs, but how it is called is up to them.
The API is useful if you might change topic ids often, or if
you need a sort of map file, or if you just want a standard way of
calling Webhelp into a certain window format. But you don't need
the two-pane format instructions for 'What's This' help.
So, your developer will have to add a function to each page
so that, if the user changes the cursor to a 'What's This' curson,
and an object is clicked during this 'What's This' state, an
explanatory popup will, um, pop up.
...Otherwise, everything behaves normally.

Robohelp 9 WebHelp - Searching doesn't produce any results.

Hi, I upgraded to RoboHelp 9 last week and now searching in Webhelp doesn't produce any results. I've created a new project, used the sample project, tried generating it to a new folder and results remain the same.
When I select the search tab, the status bar flutters with the "Waiting for file...." displayed indefinetly with the occassion display of the javascript: (void);
Screens shots are from the RH 9 sample project. Results are the same with my projects. CHMs generated work fine!
Any suggestions?

Mary
You added the problem to another thread that was not related as the issue there is the use of HTTPS. I have deleted that post.
You also started a second thread with a the same question. I don't understand how asking the question twice will help so I have locked that thread but created a link to this thread so that anyone with an answer can help you. If there is a reason for starting a second thread, please let me know.
Please just ask once and wait for a reply as this wastes moderator's time that is better used trying to answer questions.
Now to the problem. Searching with Chrome installed works just fine for most people so the problem seems to be local to you. If I have read you correctly, after installing Chrome, the search breaks no matter what browser is used.
Was that checked on other machines or just yours?
IGNORE THIS QUESTION - The answer is YES and that was in the post.
Did you also check that search was broken with the supplied sample projects? I know that works with the three browsers being discussed here?
Where was the help installed when tested by you both standalone and from the application?
Questions 2 and 3 are really only related to problems with Chrome. I have not seen anyone report Chrome also breaking the search in the other browsers. There's more to this than meets the eye as Chrome has not caused that problem for anyone else, or at least, no one has reported it.

The New Field in the FBL5N/FBL1N doesn't appear

Hi guys,
I created an APPEND STRUCTURE with the NAME1 field in the table RFPOS and through the transaction FIBF an Event that calls a Function and move the Name of Customer or Supplier according to the transactions FBL5N or FBL1N.
This field, NAME1, should appear in these transactions when the user choices the hidden fields through the Change Layout button. But this field doesn't appear...
I debbuged the Function Module and the data have been moved. (It works...)
Please, someone did it before and could help me to solve it?
Why doesn't the Field NAME1 appear? What could I do??
Thanks a lot!

Hi
The new fields have to be appended in the structure RFPOSX too, and then you need to run the program RFPOSXEXTEND in order to add the new fields in layout structure RFPOSXEXT

WebHelp in Chrome - first look

Just downloaded the new Chrome browser from Google, and as I
feared, my WebHelp doesn't work (nav pane contents don't display).
I am using a skin.
I tried a test project using the default skin and found that
only pure html works for navigation pane format (WebHelp Options
page 3).
If I use DHTML > Pure HTML the pane comes up empty
If I use Java Applet > Pure HTML I get a message in the
pane saying no plugin is available to display the content. The odd
thing is that I included some drop-down text (which is javascript,
right?) and that woks fine.
Pure html is ok, except there's no Search Input field
available. So, I'd love to be able to use dhtml or Java for the nav
pane.
If anyone has an idea for getting this to work I'd be
grateful for info.

I did notice that at least one of the things that MadCap
pointed out was not true, so one wonders what else isn't true (or
which version they used as comparison).
I created a new index, told RH to generate with that index,
and deleted the old index. The offending text in the Index was
still there. I have since done a search of topics, and found that
the offending text was added to the meta tags in several topics
(e.g., <META NAME="MS-HKWD" CONTENT="BadText">) and removed
it. I'm regenerating now to see if that fixed it.
*Most* of the time, when I find RH stupidness, I can find a
workaround or fix (often with tips from other RH users and
gurus--thank you, thank you, thank you!). But I've worked with
numerous technical writers who were not very technical (and some
barely writers) who would not be able to fix it, and would likely
have convulsions at the mere thought of editing the .js files.
Sometimes RH does things for me, because it thinks it knows
better (and sometimes it does know better). For example, some of
the projects that I am working on were started 4 or 5 years ago by
someone else on RHX5. While manually editing the help to "fix" the
tags, I would occasionally miss a closing tag. Rather than
highlighting the leftover tag (as Front Page does), RH would say,
"Oh, what you meant to do is make everything bold!" So then I would
have to go edit the HTML again (more carefully this time) to get
rid of all the bold tags.
I used to use DocToHelp 2000 to create printed docs, then
generated JavaHelp from them, then had to spend a few weeks editing
the individual html files. RH causes many fewer headaches for me
than DocToHelp ever did, but I don't do JavaHelp here. And version
7 is MUCH improved over the previous versions. Let's hope Adobe
continues with its awesome support and continues to make
improvements!

UDF field in Crystal in Sales Order Layout

Hi,
I want to Include UDF field in sales order layout, when i open default layout it shows only standard in RDR1(UDF for rowlevel ) it doesn't shows UDF fields. Now i connected database and re-established OLE DB connection and pulled the RDR1 table, here i can get those UDF created by me. but if i use this UDF field in report details area and this results no values in the layout while preview the report in SAP B1.
Anyone guide me on this....
Regards

Hi Ivan,
If you want to populate UDF fields into crystal reports layout then you have to do wat i mentioned earlier.
1. Go to Menu
2. choose Database
3. choose verify database
4.enter Object Id and Document Number as a input
5.system will retrieve the values from database and pull all the fields including UDF
but this doesn't change field length of UDF you have to change it on UDF fields management in SAP by updating the field properties.
Note: later you can't reduce the length
