RoboHelp 9 Overwriting Manual Edits to HHP

Hello,
We have always been able to merge our multi-file help system by manually editing the [MERGE FILES] section of the .HHP before our final compile.  With RoboHelp 9, we manually edit that section, but when we open a RoboHelp project and just compile, RoboHelp overwrites that section with hardcoded rather than relative paths, breaking the merge as soon as we move the .CHMs to a different location than the authoring folder.
Can anyone help?  Is there another tool that we could compile the projects with that won't overwrite the .HHP?

Hi Colum,
I think I may have found a clue to my problems on merging our RoboHelp 9 HTML Help projects.  After I compile all the child projects, I then compile the parent (Master) project and copy the HHC down to the child projects to complete the merge.  Then when I compile the child projects again, the Outlook View displays the following error message but compiles "successfully" anyway:
MCMaster.hhc
HHC3004: Warning:
MCMaster.hhc :
The HTML tag "?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?" is not a valid HTML tag (it does not begin with an alphanumeric character).
However, when I view the help projects, the TOCs and Indexes are not populated.  The tabs are there, but blank.
If I copy the old McMaster.hhc (the HTML version from RoboHelp 7, not the XML version from RoboHelp 9) back into all the projects, the child projects compile without errors and the TOC and Index are fine!
Does this info help you (or anyone else) help me?

  • ICloud Server Error: Can't add/edit contacts + it overwrites AddressBook edits

    I originally posted this in the MobileMe forum. I am totally frustrated and disgusted with the unreliable and buggy iCloud. I am hoping smarter people than me can help resolve this. Thank you.
    My primary data source is/was my MacBook Pro. It was all synced to MobileMe. (Contacts and iCal). iCloud came along. I "upgraded" to iCloud {the frustrating process of "your account needs to be upgraded, create an appleID..." was a whole different pain}.
    To make life simple, I even allowed iCloud to be the source of data for my iMac as well as iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S by deleting everything and letting everything be populated from iCloud. Now, supposedly, all my contacts and calendar/reminder data is in iCloud and all the data on the iMac and iPhones if from iCloud.
    Except, I cannot make edits to contacts in iCloud or even Add a new contact. When I Add or Save an edit in iCloud, EACH time I get an ERROR and the error report going to Apple is given below.
    Worse, I spent an hour cleaning up the freshly downloaded contacts in the iMac's AddressBook. NONE of those changes went up to iCloud.
    EVEN worse, iCloud overwrote the changed fields back to the old/blank fields, wasting my hour of work.
    Adding cards in AddressBook on the computer also does not propagate to iCloud, though edits to or changes to iCal DO show up in iCloud. But, adds/deletes/edits to Contacts on iMac OR iPhones do NOT show up in iCloud.
    Your help appreciated. Regards,
    Imran
    ===
    This is from the iMac console when I tried to delete a contact:
    11/20/11 6:05:09.289 AM Address Book: Process com.apple.AddressBook deleting 1 contact
    11/20/11 6:05:10.045 AM Address Book: [CardDAVPlugin-ERROR] -getHomeInfo:[_controller containersAtURLs:{(
        https://MYNAME%[email protected]:443/########/carddavhome///MYNAME%[email protected]:443/########/carddavhome/
    )}] Error Domain=CoreDAVErrorDomain Code=1 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1.)"
    The rest of the log is at: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3508969 and not repeated here.

    I added this comment to a thread about trying to get rid of iCloud once it has been used... it is much harder than you'd imagine... I am sharing it here because it includes steps I took after the problem we are discussing above....
    ====
    I love Apple since it started and been a Mac user since it came out. Much that MobileMe was frustrating and had a lousy launch, I thought it was impossible to make something worse than MobileMe. Apple succeeded with this disaster, data destroying, heart burning, stomach churning and hours wasting beast called iCloud.
    See iCloud Server Error: Can't add/edit contacts + it overwrites AddressBook edits By IMRAN Happy to have your thoughts on how to solve that nightmare. My last attempt (manually restorying my 5000 contacts in AddressBook, then painfully manually deleting contacts in iCloud {Select All > Delete there gives Server Errors also}. Finally managed. Then resyncing the MacBook Pro to iCloud led to 1000 contacts NOT syncing and no way except manually listing each address list side by side to figure out which ones it missed pulling in. Horror. Disaster. Shame.
    For the user who says that turning off iCloud on the Mac and accepting its offer to delete data will delete data only on the cloud, sorry, but, unless I misunderstood you, that is dangerously wrong.
    Like an evil spawn of SkyNet and a PC Boot Sector Virus, once iCloud has grabbed your data IT becomes the master of your data, your digital life. Deleting stuff means the stuff on your DEVICE (e.g. MacBook Pro, where you created and have all the ORIGINAL data in that iCloud sucked in) is what will be destroyed. Be careful.
    If you're playing with this beast, not only make backups of your data in AddressBook and iCal, but invest in an external drive and clone your whole hard drive.
    I am literally having to make a decision tonight, keep my MacBook Pro as the master, and sync via iTunes to the iPhone 4S and 4. I have an iMac mostly for music and video, which it was "cool" to have synced iCal and AB on, though not regularly used. But, after the hours wasted with iCloud, and the repeated data loss, I can live without the iMac being a synced device.
    Hope this helps.

  • Manually edit config.xml

    Hi,
    I'm working with WL 8.1SP3, and I need to add the atribute 'StatementTimeout' to
    'JDBCConnectionPool' entry in config.xml.
    The weblogic console can not do the job, but manually edit config.xml work fine.
    Subsequently when I use WL console to make other changes, the system overwrite any manual previous changes.
    How can I make persistent manual changes in config.xml file?

    On the new machine I am trying to create a new set of servers to be added to the cluster. However I am running into errors, of which various post suggest changing some of the security stuff in the config. But I have not found a way to persist my modifications. Each time I restart it gets overwritten again.
    I am running in production mode, could this be the problem?
    I have tried stopping everything, delete all .lok files on both machines, and restarting everything. On startup the .lok files reappear and my changes are reverted.

  • I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone?

    I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)

    You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
    Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone.

  • How to have concurrent CSV upload and manual edit in APEX on the same table

    Hi there,
    my users want to have csv upload and manual edit on apex pages functions together...
    it means they want to insert the data by csv upload and also have interactive report and form on the same table...
    so if user A changes something in csv file...then user B update or delete another record from apex fronted (manually in the apex form)...then after that user A wants to upload the csv file,the record was changed by user B would be overwritten ...
    So how can I prevent it?????

    I'm going to use File Browser so that end users can upload the files themselves...
    after editing data by users...a manger going to review it and in case of approval , i need to insert the data to one final table....
    so it needs much effort to check two source tables and in case of difference between table of csv and other one...what to do...

  • How to manually edit a "Table of Contents"

    How do I set a table of contents to display "..." or align in a "nicer way" - either through manual editing or some advanced automatic vodoo.
    Right now my TOC looks like this:

  • ScatterGraph does not allow manually editing axis range at runtime

    I'm using both ScatterGraph and WaveFormGraph controls in a Winforms VS2010 application.  I have the axis interaction mode set to EditRange.  The WaveFormGraph control allows editing the axis range by clicking on the end labels for the axis and changing them.  The ScatterGraph control does not even though the documentation that I have read indicates it should.  The axis mode does not seem to be the issue as I have changed between Fixed and AutoScaleLoose (which is not the selection to have while displaying changing data if you want your manually-entered range to be maintained).  I tried a new project with a ScatterGraph control with default settings and verified that it does not allow you to edit the axis range.  Is there a way to change settings to allow you to manually edit a ScatterGraph range in this way at runtime?
    Thank you!

    Hi Lybro,
    Have you enabled the "EditRange" InteractionMode of the scatter graph object? There are two places that the interaction mode is set, one for the axis and one for the scatter graph, both need to be enabled for the editing to work. I just tested this with Measurement Studio 2013 and it is working. Let me know if this helps.

  • Manually Edit An Alias Original File Path?

    How do I edit the original path that an alias uses?
    I have created an alias to a network volume, but the patch that the alias is using is by share name (/Volumes/Share Name) whereas I want it to use the ip (/192.168.2.5/folder).
    However, I can't figure out how to manually edit the alias path. Once upon a time the "Select new original" dialoge box had a "Go to:" line where you could manually enter a path but in 10.4 it is gone).
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Well, you could do a couple of things. You could place the .afplocs files somewhere in the hard drive (e.g.: /Documents/afploc_folder) and then place aliases to those .afplocs in the doc (just drag them to the Dock from the Finder). You can even assign them custom names and icons through Get Info.
    Another option would be save the .afploc file, and then select the original alias you wanted to modify, and assign it the .afploc as new original through Get Info.
    Both these methods provide you with a clickable dock icon, that will connect to the volume.
    I vaguely remember about a BSD command called mkalias that creatd aliases from the command line rather than from the Finder, but have no details on that. Maybe you should do a little research about it.
    Good Luck.

  • How do you manually edit stereo pan keyframe values?

    Hehe! Very good... and yes it has, on more than one occasion.
    On the subject of keyframes, there's at least one other modification that some might find useful - and that would be a means to control the 'aggressiveness' of the spline created without having to move a load of points. iZotope do it with a slider in RX in their NR and there, it's quite useful sometimes. Personally none of this bothers me too much, because I very rarely use the automation at all these days - it screws with the background noise on live recordings!

  • Is it possible to manually edit data in EDQ?

    Hello - I'm new to EDQ.
    Trying to figure out if, after running rules/processes in EDQ, I can manually edit/alter data in the EDQ tool.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi,
    Editing data is very much a last resort and is not the way that we expect remediation to work in EDQ.
    Normally Case Management is set up and configured in such a way to allow data stewards to select specific, targeted, remediation actions. The actions are normally different depending on the type of exception, and are actions that are already 'known' to EDQ and built-in to the configuration of the data cleansing processes.
    For example, in addition to the ability to mark an exception as ‘To be fixed at source’, with the data re-checked the next time it comes through, it is possible to capture remediative choices such as:
    For a Boolean field, the option to select the correct value as one of the states
    For a field that should conform to a fixed list, the option to select a valid value from a list of template comments
    For a URL field with an invalid value, the option to supply the correct value as a comment
    For a Telephone Number field that is too long, the option to tell EDQ to abbreviate the field (remove whitespace etc.) or to truncate the field
    …and many more
    This normally uses reception rules and conditional transitions in Case Management to offer targeted remediations depending on the nature of the exception.
    The entered fixes are added in Case Management and then pulled back into EDQ (via the System Information Data Store, and appropriate lookups) so that they can be applied to records as remediations before the records are re-checked.
    So although the experience is not ‘editing the data’, it is in fact more guided to ensure that data stewards select a correct remediation for a specific data issue.
    In all cases, if the fix is confirmed and the alert is ‘cleared’, the workflow is normally configured such that the state of the alert changes from ‘Fix Pending’ to ‘Fix Confirmed’, and if the fix is not confirmed (for example an entered URL is still invalid, or a phone number still too long after abbreviation), the alert is automatically reopened.
    All of this is driven by configuration of Case Management and EDQ. It can be a little tricky to set this up, but it is perfectly possible to do, and we have customers doing exactly this kind of thing with their Data Stewards today.

  • Mac Address Book doesn't sync nor accepts manual edits

    My Address Book can't be edited on my Mac anymore: no manual edits are saved on any contact. After changing something, and clicking "save", the card automatically returns to its previous state.
    In addition, I found I couldn't edit my contacts on iCloud because of "a server error". After a few tries I could edit a contact. But those changes are not reflected on my Mac aftrwards.
    R.

    Yes, now I have one. It's an iCloud syncing error, and it wipes your edits on your Mac everytime.
    This is what I did to fix it.
    1. Make a backup of your Address Book, using the vCard option (or both, it doesn’t hurt). Save it for later.
    2. In System Preferences -> iCloud, turn Contacts off. I chose “keep on My Mac” those contacts, but nevertheless I got an empty Address Book after a while. And a few minutes later, iCloud contacts were empty and my iPhone also. It is scary at first! Now, before importing that vCard backup…
    3. Turn Wi-Fi off. This is important, since your contact-empty iCloud will attempt to wipe your Address Book from your Mac just seconds after importing.
    4. Import your vCard backup to Address Book. Just drag it to your blank Address Book window; it asks if you want to import “x” number of cards. Of course, say yes.
    5. Turn Wi-Fi on, and then iCloud contacts on again (System Preferences -> iCloud). It will offer to merge your newly populated Address Book with iCloud (which is empty at this point). It should upload every single contact to iCloud, and then to your iDevices. If not, a fifth step would be to import the vCard file to iCloud, but it shouldn’t be necessary.
    Hope it helps.
