RoboHelp 8 - Webhelp Project - Title Mismatch

How do you change the title on the frame of a webhelp project to match the title on the compiled project? The first screenshot shows the correct title, Order Entry Form.
The second screenshot is incorrect = RH Styles Development. I have deleted all references to RH Styles Dev in my project, but it still appears on the version copied to our server.
Any ideas on how to change it to the correct title in the first screenshot?
Thanks!

Hi there
Try clicking File > Project Settings > General tab and change the Project Title field.
Then generate the output again and test.
Cheers... Rick

Generated WebHelp project title

I am using Rh7. When I generate my primary layout the browser window has a title which is the name of my original project reflected as revision (e.g., Project Alpha 1). I am working on a new release and have made a copy of my project as a baseline but cannot figure out how to change the title reflected in the browser page. Any help would be appreciated.

RoboHelp 10 WebHelp search feature not working?

Hi all,
I am using the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4 and cannot get RoboHelp 10 to generate a WebHelp product with search capabilities.
I have created a RoboHelp 10 WebHelp project and imported FrameMaker 11 files.
Everything seems okay, but when I search in Internet Explorer 10, nothing happens. I can even be on the same page as a term and enter the term in the box,
but then nothing happenns. I also tried: Opera, Firefox, Chrome and Safari browsers and still no results in the WebHelp search results.
Actually, I get one word by default and that word is: "null".
Any idea on what is causing this? I have a deliverable due soon, and I need to get this search capability working.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
I am using the latest patch too - RoboHelp 10.0.0.287
Regards,
Jim

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the reply. I am not sure if it is Java, although I did download Java to make sure I had the latest update. I am running on a Windows 7 64 Bit Dell Laptop with Adobe TCS 4.
I just saw a different post - but related to this post on the topic and I think it has to do something with the XML files that are created during the normal generation process.
I have a feeling that there is something wrong with my XML files and the reason I say that is because I can generate one of the sample RoboHelp projects to WebHelp and then use IE 10 to search and the results
come up right away, but when I do a WebHelp generate on my project the search does not work.
Here is that related thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/798369
Search Error: Failed to initialize database
Mar 1, 2011 12:33 PM
That thread dealt with RoboHelp 8 and I am using RoboHelp 10, but I think the problem is probably the same.
My questions are as follows:
I have a customer deliverable on Monday with several hundred files and a search mechanism that does not work at all. Can I copy the search mechanism from the sample project and then put it into my project?
Are the XML files generic or specific to each project?
How many XML, Javascript and other RoboHelp type files are used to make the search functionality work? I was thinking of populating one of those sample files, that has already been started with my files to see if that would get things going in the right direction - with the idea of removing all the sample files from that project and replacing them with my files, but, I have over 400 files, including references to foldout drawings and vendor manuals (baggage files) and it would probably take too much time to make that happen.
With that said, if you or anyone else has ideas on how I could get this search engine working, I would really, really appreciate it.
My current file structure is like this:
Main Project Folder
    !ScreenLayout
    My Project File1
    My Project File2
    My Project File3
    resource
    whdata
    whgdata
    whxdata
    Frnt_Cov.htm
    Frnt_Cov_csh.htm
    Frnt_Cov_rhc.htm
    All RoboHelp graphics, javascripts and .htm files
There does NOT seem to these folders that are in the sample:
!Language!
!SkinSubFolder!
!SSL!
The !ScreenLayout! folder is the only one present. Does this have anything to do with only having MultiScreen HTML5 and WebHelp (Primary Layout) for my project settings?
Again the most notable difference I see, is between the folders NOT included in my project (!Language!, !SkinSubFolder! and !SSL!). I am not sure why these folders are not included in WebHelp.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, as well as for any suggestions that can be offered. I really need to get the search feature working by tomorrow.
Regards,
Jim

Can I customize the browser tab text - set to Project Title by default

Hello there,
I am using RH 7.03, generating WebHelp
I am creating branded Help and would like to customize the name that displays on the browser tab. It is set via the Project Title property in Project Settings. Can this be changed dynamically via an ssl?
Many thanks.
Pat

Hi Pat
To expound on what Colum offered, that setting will only have any effect under one of a couple of conditions.
You are working with Context Sensitive Help and are using Map IDs and the WebHelp API to establish the linking.
You are working with WebHelp or FlashHelp Pro output.
Aside from either of those conditions, the Window you were pointed to will be simply ignored.

RoboHelp/Word 2002: Topic Titles/ID Automatically Changing and an Unregistered Routines Message

I’m posting a problem/solution that my team ran into
recently in hopes that it will save other people time if they find
it also.
Problem:
I have a Help project created on an XP machine, using
RoboHelp Classic, with Word 2002. There are over 1500 topics in the
project, It is compiled as Webhelp, contains 1,667 objects, and is
22.8 MB in size.
While working in my project this week, I noticed 4 of my
topics in the RoboHelp Explorer view suddenly had a prefix of
"placeCity" in front of the topic title. It only appeared in the
explorer view and the Properties dialog, but not in the document or
topic itself. When I tried to change the topic title in the
Properties dialog and save, it acted like it saved, but when I
looked in the explorer view, they still had the strange, new
prefix. Then I noticed approximately 6 or 7 topics had the words
"State" and "stockticker" added to the topic IDs which showed up as
broken links. But when I looked at the compiled Webhelp file names,
they looked normal.
I exited RoboHelp. When I went back in, I received the
following message: "RoboHelp Explorer has detected that there are
unregistered routines used by the following features in this
project. -Html Topics or hotspot links to Html pages displayed in
the Help window. -Link to a Html page, displayed in the browser. Do
you want RoboHelp to make the necessary updates?"
I never saw this message before so I selected Yes. (This
message also appeared to another user on our network, crashed their
computer, but their project was fine afterwards – they were
using a Word 2003). I don't know if selecting Yes stopped any more
chances of RoboHelp automatically renaming topic titles and topic
IDs or what it did. I was afraid I might have a virus, so I spent a
whole day running virus/spyware software. The results found NO
virus but I did have some Malware which I removed. I didn't know if
this caused my problem with RoboHelp or not.
Solution:
We had other users guide us that it could be similar to the
font problem (with KB917334) that people were currently running
into. We checked and found a Microsoft patch had been loaded around
the time that our problems started: KB917335 for Word 2002. We
deleted the patch, rebooted the system, deleted all of the rtf
files from project, and then started RoboHelp. All issues were
corrected. We have now turned off automatic updates to that
computer until our release has gone out.
Text

OK and thanks very much for checking that the HTML output is
not affected by this problem. At the moment all I can say is that
Adobe are looking into it but I don't know what they have found
yet.
Changing the help type might not make you the most popular
person. I cannot say how much work it is but it's not a five minute
task. The problem your company has though is the winhelp has this
problem and at the moment you cannot get around it, assuming you
have tried all the suggestions that have been posted. That may mean
that there is little option but to go down the CHM route.
The only other thing that comes to mind is whether this
problem is RH related or Help Compiler related. If it is exclusive
to RH generated winhelp, then maybe some other tool is an option.
If it is Help Compiler related, it won't matter what tool you use.
Have you tried creating another project to see if you can
change topic ids in that? Has anyone else come across this problem?

Best Practice for Creating a New WebHelp Project from an Existing One

I'm currently working in WebHelp Pro (RH version is 9.0.2.271).
I have a WebHelp project which currently supports the 2012 version of one of our projects. What I needed to do was to create a separate 2013 project, using the 2012 files as the starting point. I couldn't find a way in RH to create a new project by importing an existing WebHelp project, so I copied the 2012 files to a new directory, opened up the project, and renamed it.
What prompts this question is that following this exercise, all seemed well, for a time. However, I have recently had to create new topics in the 2012 version. However, when I imported these topics to the 2013 project and compiled, they vanished--although the htm files still appear in the appropriate 2013 file folder (when viewed with Windows Explorer).
After reading some forum postings, I thought that I might have corrupted my database by improperly creating the new project--but if what I did is the wrong way to go about it, I'm not sure what the correct way is. I will be grateful for any suggestions.

The easy way to do this is create a copy using Windows Explorer.
Open the project and go to File > Rename.
Then you have your 2013 ready made project.

Need to disable script or ActiveX control in WebHelp project

Two of our WebHelp projects display the following two
messages prior to loading the first page:
1) "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has
restricted this file form showing active content that could access
your computer. Click here for options."
2) "It seems javascript is disabled in your browser, please
enable it abd reload again, or click here to view without
javascript."
I don't know my way around well enough in RoboHelp to solve
these problems. I've read that you can disable the ActiveX issue
through options in the Windows Control Panel, but that is not a
valid resolution for these customers, as that will pose security
vulnerabilities. Not sure either about how to enable javascript, as
indicated in the second message.
Obviously there is something in these WebHelp projects that
cause these messages to display. I want to address the issues at
the project level - not the OS level. Is there a way to search a
WebHelp project foe embedded ActiveX controls and java scripts that
may cause these messages, and then figure out a way to change this
behavior?
I am using RoboHelp HTML, version 5.0.2, build 801, and
generating the primary layout as WebHelp. I've played with the
Preferrred Format options when I generate the project, but nothing
has solved the problem yet.
Any suggestions? Help! This novice is stumped.

It's because you are viewing the help locally. Your users
will be viewing it from a server so they will not have this issue.

Structure WebHelp project that limits access to license program module users

Where can I find information about the best way to structure a WebHelp project that needs to contain Help modules that will be accessible only to users who license the associated application? My project needs to contain core Help for the application and four modules associated with four licensable analysis program modules. I've done some research about merging Help projects, but that doesn't tell me how to set up the project or projects so that the user of program A, for example, can't see the Help for program B.

Hi there
If you created a Merged helpset, you could structure it so that the components that are merged in are placed in different folders. Then password protect those folder or otherwise restrict them so that only validated users could see them. When the master is launched, if it cannot get to one or more child projects, they aren't listed in the Table of Contents and in the Index and Search.
I suggested this years ago for a product where I was the tech writer. The owner of the company decided on a different approach. His view?
Since they can't do the functions the help is for anyway, what does it hurt to have it available? Further, if they haven't yet purchased a module that they have help for, perhaps by seeing the help, it will help serve as a marketing tool. By seeing what is possible via the help, perhaps they might be encouraged to purchase additional modules.

Is there a way to import someone else's webhelp project so that I can take over and work on it?

Someone has worked on a webhelp project using robohelp, but now I am taking it over. Is there a way to transfer or import her work so that I can work on it, so I don't have to start from scratch and copy her work?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Peter's site contains an article on opening corrupt RH projects only: http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/opening/opening_projects.htm
If you only have a WebHelp output, the steps for recreating a project from an output are listed on Rick's site: http://www.robowizard.com/RoboWizard/MonthlyScry/062004.htm
The paid method is outlined on http://wvanweelden.eu/product/reverse-engineer-robohelp-project-robohelp-89-webhelp-incl-p ro-output. (Note that this is the one for help created with Robo 8/9. Different versions require a different version of the script.)

Trying to create a WebHelp project from 2 yr old files

I have inhertited an old WebHelp project that I need to
recreate. The files are from 2006 and I need to generate a new help
system. Do I need to import these 2 yr old files or can I start a
New Project within RoboHelp.

You don't have to create a new project, but I think it's the
most effective way to get a clean update from the old .css and html
code.
You can make a copy of the entire source project directory,
launch RH7 and open the project file. RH tells you it will update
the project, and you can't go back to an earlier version fom RH.
(That's why you saved a copy.) Click Update and, if it's a big
project, be patient.

Oops, hi, Peter.

Is RoboHelp 7 WebHelp compatible with Mac OS?

I created a WebHelp project in RoboHelp 7. It opens perfectly in Windows OS browsers, but will not open on a Mac.Is WebHelp not compatible with Mac OS?
thanks

Thanks for your reply, Peter.
My tester was using:OS X 10.4.11
Safari 4.0.4.
But the Help didn't open when she clicked the Help button in the app.
However, when she went to the url (the Help's location on our server), it opened perfectly.
Is there something I should be doing specifically for Help that goes to a Mac?
Shouldn't I be able to generate as WebHelp and have it work properly on both Windows and Mac?
thanks,

How to launch Robohelp generated WebHelp from C++ application?

Hi all,
Right now I'm using a trial version of Robohelp 11, because we want to redo our programs offline help. I'm a developer and trying to launch the Robohelp with the API from our C++ MFC application.
Steps I've taken:
Add the RoboHelp_CSH.cpp to the project
Add the RoboHelp_CSH.h to the project
Disabled the precompiled headers for the RoboHelp_CSH.cpp
Added the Psapi.lib, wininet.lib and Htmlhelp.lib to the Linker Input
Added the #include "RoboHelp_CSH.h" to my project
Generated a webhelp project using the Robohelp 11 trial program
My OS is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, done all updates. My default browser is Google Chrome, latest version.
The thing is, my program compiles, but never launches a page. I have tried all kinds of things in my program, listing a few below. The result of the RH_ShowHelp() is always 1.
int i = RH_ShowHelp(0, "C:/Users/username/Desktop/Controller/index.htm#<str=controller.html>>newwnd=false", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 0);
int i = RH_ShowHelp(0, "C:/Users/username/Desktop/Controller/index.htm#<str=controller.html", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 0);
int i = RH_ShowHelp(0, "C:/Users/username/Desktop/Controller/index.htm", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 0);
int i = RH_ShowHelp(0, "C:/Users/username/Desktop/Controller/index.htm#controller.html", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 0);
int i = RH_ShowHelp(0, "C:/Users/username/Desktop/Controller/index.htm#controller", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 0);
int i = RH_ShowHelp(0, "Controller/index.htm#controller.html", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 0);                                                                 (with the generated Webhelp folder in the executable folder)
int i = RH_ShowHelp(0, "Controller/index.htm#<controller.html", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 0);                                                               (with the generated Webhelp folder in the executable folder)
int i = RH_ShowHelp(0, "Controller/index.htm", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 0);                                                                                       (with the generated Webhelp folder in the executable folder)
What am I doing wrong?
(If more information is needed for an answer please say so, I'll gladly provide more info to get this to work.)
- Marleen

Hi Willam,
Thanks for the quick reply.
All the options I mentioned in my first post did not show any effect, no browser started.
I tried your suggestion with -1 in this way:
int i = RH_ShowHelp((HWND)-1, "C:/Users/username/Desktop/Controller/index.htm", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, 0);
That does not open a window either. Also tried this with my program running as administrator just in case.
Any more suggestions by any chance?

Is there an easy way to create a searchable "Frequently Asked Questions" topic in a webhelp project?

Robohelp 8
Webhelp
Does Robohelp have a built in feature for FAQ creation?

Hi there
RoboHelp doesn't have a mechanism built in that monitors what has been asked and dynamically creates an FAQ for you (if tha'ts what you are asking).
So certainly any FAQ list will have to be constructed by you. Fortunately, RoboHelp does offer tools that will assist.
RoboHelp 8 offers what is called a "Mini TOC Placeholder" that might help. What you would do is to create a topic and insert the Questions followed by the Answers up and down the page. Then format each question as a Heading. (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. Generally I like using Heading 2.) Then insert the placeholder at the top of the topic and RoboHelp will construct a list of questions that has each question as a link pointing to its counterpart farther down the page.
If you aren't too keen on that approach you could also type your list of questions and create a dynamic HTML drop-down where each answer would expand and reveal itself as the user clicked the question.

Need some project titles that can be done in java servlets and jsp or ejb

I am final year cs engg student. I have completed course in java,j2ee. I have done the library management project in servlet. I need some project titles for my final year project. My interests includes, networking, desktop applications.

I'm not sure how to help other than to advise you will probably have the best success with something that interests you personally. You mention desktop applications and networking. Perhaps start with something Swing (or JavaFX) and perhaps use that to monitor a network, detect intrusions, dynamically load balance, etc. Really, it's whatever will stimulate you through a long project. If you have an idea in mind, but are having difficulties with how to come up with a spiffy title, then post more detail, and we can try and help.

Solution Manager Project Title

Is anyone aware of a method to get the project name in the title of the screen when an associate runs Solution Manager? If you look at the standard screen it displays a generic title like "Maintenance Cycle M000000010" or "Implementation Project I000000054".
Is anyone aware of a way (other than modifying SAP code) to get the screen to display the project title. Yes, I realize the project name is displayed in the body of the screen. We have a request to see if there's a way to make the project title more pronounced.
