Robohelp Server 7.0 vs Robohelp Desktop version

hi there,
We have to write help files for our various products.
What are the major difference in server and desktop version.
Precisely, i am looking for anwers of :
1. can we create independent (does not look for robohelp
server to get data) executable files (.exe, .htm) so that we can
link it to our application software.
2. if we buy RoboHelp Desktop, then what are we MISSING...if
we buy robohelp server
thanks for your expert knowledge sharing in advance.

Hi Rohit.
RoboHelp 7 client (or desktop) is the tool used to produce
the help documentation output files. It allows numerous output
types to be generated, one of which is Webhelp Pro. Webhelp is
designed to be located on a server, website or intranet. Webhelp
Pro is a version of Webhelp designed specifically for the RoboHelp
7 Server product.
RoboHelp 7 Server takes Webhelp Pro output and publishes it
to a server. It's main advantages are that it allows you to produce
reports of the usage of the help to identify its usefulness. It
also allows you to include standalone files and make them
searchable to the user. This includes PDFs, HTM and MS Office files
but not .EXE files. To be honest I can't see what could usefully be
included in a .EXE file that would be useful to a user of the help.
So in summary, you need a copy of RoboHep 7 to produce your
help output (Webhelp Pro) and a copy of RoboHep 7 Server to publish
the help to the Server and get the usage/search capabilities. If
you don't want these capabilities you can do without RoboHelp 7
Server and still publish Webhelp output to a server.
BTW I'd remove your email address from your post if I was
you. If you don't you'll be offered all sorts of additional
(non-RH) advice involving parts of your anatomy, world peace and
financial well being.

RoboHelp HTML Version 10 - Navigation panel not displaying in published project

We are generating a WebHelp project in RoboHelp HTML Version 10 and the navigation panel (TOC, Search, etc.) is no longer visible in the index file (viewed locally) and it's only visible by clicking "Show" when viewed in a web server. This issue is occurring with Internet Explorer 11 and Google Chrome Version 39.0.2171.99 m. I also tried to view the index files of previously generated projects and am experiencing the same issue (this did not occur before). Is this a known issue? It appears that there a few other discussions posted recently experiencing similar issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nikki

Hi there
Sorry, but I'm a bit confused. What you are describing sounds like perfectly normal behavior.
Can you share a link where this is happening? Not so we can click it, but so we can see what the link looks like.
If you want a topic to open with the surrounding navigation (TOC, Index, Search, Glossary) you need to click the Show link, then look at what's in the Address bar. Copy that link and you should have what you need.
Cheers... Rick

Topic headings not showing in Firefox, with RoboHelp HTML version 8 WebHelp

1. I have just upgraded a customer's Help project to RH8, with a WebHelp layout.
The finished WebHelp Guide works fine in Internet Explorer 8.
But Firefox 3.0.1.5 (latest update) does not show topic headings (style Heading 1) where they are automatically linked to the Topic Properties > Topic Title.; i.e. the topic heading is a Field {Title}, using rh-variable_start name="title" etc. Firefox only shows the topic heading if the heading exists as text in the WYSIWYG field.
I checked a backup copy of the compiled WebHelp that I had generated using RoboHelp HTML version 7, and this works OK - all topic headings that are fields display OK in Firefox.
2. Also, some images (.gif format) do not display in Firefox that is generated by RH8.
Any ideas, anyone?

Hi,
Note: All I post here are my findings. I didn't test all DHTML effects and I'm not a javascript guru, so I may be wrong.
As far as I can find, this behaviour is defenitly a bug, although it's not related to headings, CBT's or images. This is what I found:
Whenever you have multiple DHTML-effects that kick in on load, Firefox only displays the one that is defined first in the topic. In the bottom of the topic, you'll find a script like this:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">//<![CDATA[
    if( typeof( InitEffects ) != 'function' ) InitEffects = new Function();
    InitEffects('img1','x-on-pageload: fadein();');
    InitEffects('h11','x-on-pageload: fadein();');
    InitEffects('h111','');
//]]></script>
In this case, the image with id img1 is loaded first and displayed correct. All subsequent effects (heading with id h11) is not displayed. Putting the heading in front of the image will show the image, while the image is not displayed.
I suspect that the effects are not correctly parsed into
if ((gbBsNS6)&&(srcObj.addEventListener))
        srcObj.addEventListener( noOn.toLowerCase(), new Function("event", newHandler ),false);
on line 2994 and 2995. Changing or deleting line 2995 effectively removes kills on load effects (ie not showing anything with an on load effect) as expected.
If you also use DHTML effects and find the same behaviour as Philip, please post a bug report.

Willam

Is this a bug for CTI Toolkit Agent desktop (Version 7.5.10510)

Hi,
Today I have found a strange thing with CTI Toolkit Agent desktop (Version 7.5.10510). One agent is logged in on CTI Toolkit agent desktop with his Agent ID (5101) to an extension 999111. Then from other PC another agent is also able to login on CTI Toolkit agent desktop with same Agent ID (5101) to the same extension 999111. Tough they are logged in with same agent ID and extension number from different PC but it is not desired that 2 person can login with same Agent ID and extension at a same time.
Can any one tell me that is this a bug or normal procedure.
Thanks,
Ashfaque

Hi,
this is normal (although it does not seem to follow any logic).
If you want to change this behavior, modify the following registry keys on the CTI OS server:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems, Inc.\Ctios\CTIOs_[instance]\CTIOS1\EnterpriseDesktopSettings\All Desktops\Login

Apple Remote Desktop version 3.5.1. to version 3.5.2

I originally purchased Apple Remote Desktop version 3.5.1 from the App Store. Apparently Apple Remote Desktop version 3.5.2 has been released. Guess what??? The App Store does not have the update for version 3.5.2. I downloaded the update from the Apple Support Downloads page and installed. Guess what??? Apple Remote Desktop is still at version 3.5.1.
I originally recommended to my mother to purchase a MacBook Pro and I could remote to her computer to undo anything that she has done...laugh. At almost 70 years old, it's a challenge... I was able to remote to her computer for a while and now can't. I guess version 3.5.2 was supposed to fix this issue. She has ARD version 3.5.2 on her computer. We both have Lion version 10.7.3 installed as well.
How am I supposed to get the update for verson 3.5.2 installed? Why doesn't the App Store have the update? Am I not doing something correctly?
Any suggestions would be helpful and I thank you in advance.

If your mom had any kind of issue with her internert connection, Her ISP might have her reset the modem. Some times a power outage can cause a modem to revert to default settings. And any time it a modem is reset to defaults the modem has to be re-configured for ARD.
ARDAgent is the OS built-in tool for remote viewing / controlling the screen. If you want to SSH in, you need enable remote Management Login on your moms computer. (it's in system prefrences, sharing) If you do SSH, ARDAgent can be access from the command line to start/stop/restart and reconfigure ARDAgent. But just like ARD, you need the right ports open on your moms firewall/router to make the connection.
You could check to make sure the firewall is off on your moms computer. (system prefrences, securty, firewall tab) you could have her uncheck Remote Management and recheck it to restart the ARDAgent service. (system prefrences, sharing)
If your moms IP address changes frequently. You could look into a subscription service like DYNdns. It requires software on your moms computer, but basicaly it report to the DYNdns server what ever your mom's current IP address is. And in turn give you a DNS address you can use to contact your moms firewall. some thing like mom.dyndns.com. Even with DYNdns, you may find you need to delete and re-add your moms computer from ARD to connect.
logmein dosen't require DYNdns or port configuration. Because it reports into the logmein servers so there no ports need to be opened.
If you talk to your moms ISP. They would need to open the ports 5900 for UDP and TCP. Along with 3283 for UDP and TCP. MAlong with 22 for TCP (SSH and file transfer). And of corse when they open the ports they need to route to your moms computer consistently.
I'm surprised they would help you with this. I don't think my ISP would be as acomidating.

Desktop version while browsing

I want to browse a website using my mobile phone in desktop version. How can I disable the mobile version?

Hi Iomankam,
You can install [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/phony/ Phony], an extension for Firefox mobile that will let you tweak the User-Agent to match that of Desktop Firefox. What this will do is force the browser to mimic that of Desktop Firefox and sites will serve the non-mobile content to the browser.

Desktop version launches HTML version

Hi
I´m trying to setup the NBWC client Desktop version. I have installed NBWC 4.0 PL12 and in the logon details i enter:
http://server.dom.com:8000/sap/bc/nwbc/nwbc_launch
I get the logon screen, but the system uses the HTML version of NWBC and launches in a separate Desktop-window.
What is wrong? Us the logon details wrong or what can i do?

Hi Jakob,
Delete the NWBC_launch in your URL and it should be fine, so the link will be
http://server.dom.com:8000/sap/bc/nwbc/
instead

Muse displaying desktop version on tablet and phone

As I developed a website and published it on Business Catalyst <http://cq-build-026.businesscatalyst.com/>, the correct version of the website would be presented on a desktop computer (MacBook Pro), a tablet (iPad) and a phone (iPhone).
But this morning I pointed our domain name <www.cq-whatsyours.com> to Business Catalyst, and now the desktop version is being served to all three devices.
As a temporary solution, I've add <Tablet> and <Phone> buttons at the bottom of the desktop home page, so the viewer can jog things to the device-appropriate pages, but this is obviously not a great long-term approach.
I attempted to search the forum for background on this, but there seems to be quite a nest of information that is hard to unravel
Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Bradley

Thanks Sanjit,
Yes, working now ... I think it was a cookie issue — once on the desktop version, stuck on the desktop version. I suspect that it was clearing cookies that did the trick but am not positive.
Appreciate your response and your good responses to previous questions.
By the way, sure wish I could pin things on tablet layouts. Might be an iPad vs other tablets issue, I don't know.

R12 XML Publisher desktop version

Hi,
I am searching for the XML Publisher desktop version for R12. Is there anyone know?
Thanks

Hi,
Yes this version of template builder is suitable for R12. I would recommend the your download the latest version though from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/publishing/index.html.
The latest version is called :
BI Publisher Desktop 10.1.3.3.1 for Windows (131 MB)
The latest releases fixes a few bugs in the Template Builder Plug-in for MS Word.
As you are using EBS and not BI Publisher standalone, you will not be able to use the functionality to connect to the BI Publisher server, as this does not exist yet for EBS. For template development purposes, this version will do exactly the same job for BI Publisher with EBS and BI Publisher Standalone.
I hope this helps.

I can't get gmail to open in the desktop version, only mobile. it is unusable

can't cjange gmail in Firefox from Mobile to desktop.
can't delete anything becasue menu overlaps other menus

Hello  ,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b>Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Issue with opening a site in SharePoint Designer 2010 -The version of SharePoint foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SPD you are using, you need a more recent version of SPD.

I have a SharePoint site which I am trying to open in SPD 2010, I am getting the following error(some of my team members are able to open)
The version of SharePoint foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SPD you are using, you need a more recent version of SPD.
These are the ways I tried
1) Earlier I have MS office 32 bit and SPD 32 bit, I uninstalled them and installed both 64 bit versions
2) I uninstalled restarted my machine and installed it again still no use.
3) I installed SPD 2010 Service Pack 2 of 64 bit
4) I uninstalled the SPD 2010 and opened the site—site actions—edit page in SPD , then it asked me to install SPD 2010, then I installed and tried to open the same site, again same error.
How to solve this issue?
I checked permissions also at that site level – I have full control like others. I don’t have access to Central Admin so where else I can check the permission settings?

Please update us SharePoint version

Right way to copy desktop version for tablet and mobile

Watching this video http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/adobe-muse-designing-for-mobile-devices/
would seem that copying from the desktop version to tablet or mobile, you copy all the contents (texts, images,slide shows etc..).
But i doesn't work. May I have to totally rebuild manually tablet and mobile versions or is possible copy the entire site and then, if i need , make changes in each release?
many thanks in advance

Sad! Could be of great help for us develop the function to automatically copy all the contents.
We would avoid to rebuild the site 3 times and we would re-design only things to change.
Many thanks for your reply
