See Also Style

I hope this isn't a stupid question, but I can't seem to
change the style of the "See Also" text in the See Also control. I
want it to be consistent with the link style in my help project.
Thanks!

Hi WriterBen and Colum
Ben, Colum correctly told you how to accomplish this. But I
have one little tidbit to add.
If you insert more than one "See Also" control on a page, you
will need to be careful about what you do with the script. RoboHelp
HTML normally names the first instance "SeeAlso". But subsequent
instances are named differently. And the exact name used will
depend on how that control is inserted.
If you are inserting them via the menu - Insert > See
Also...
The second will normally be named OBJECT1
The third will normally be named OBJECT2 and so on
If you are inserting them via Copy/Paste
The second will normally be named object1
The third will normally be named object2 and so on
I bring this up because JavaScript gets totally persnickety
with these names. Object1, OBJECT1 and object1 are three different
names to JavaScript. So you need to pay close attention to what
they are named and use the correct name when you type the
JavaScript code. javascript:SeeAlso.Click(); then becomes
javascript:OBJECT1.Click(); or javascript:object1.Click();
Happy Friday all... Rick

Is it not possible to see the styles drawer in full screen mode

I've recently upgraded to a delicious iMac 27" on Lion and am perplexed why iBook Author doesn't allow you to see the styles drawer in full screen mode.
Surely this breaks the point of using this mode of working
Would like to see this fixed in a future revision

Robohelp Web Help See Also Pop up

Hi Folks,
Been trying to locate the place in Robohelp to change the
background color for a "See Also" pop up box. Right now, it's
defaulting to the windows gray, and I'd like to change it to white
with blue text. If you can point me to the right place, I would be
grateful.

Hi marilyng -
Here ya go:
You'll want to open up your
ehlpdhtm.js file...
1) To change your text and text background color, go to
function
_PopupMenu_Invoke_2()
2) find and edit the two lines that look like this:
document.write(".PopupNotOver {font-family:'Arial';
color:black; background:#c0c0c0; font-size:10pt;
font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;}");
3) and, to change the popup background color, find:
popupmenuevoke()
4) and find the two instances of :
BGCOLOR="#c0c0c0"
.... and change those background grays to the white of your
choice.
Happy tweaking!

See Also no displaying properly in WebHelp (RH11)

When I generate WebHelp from RH11, the See Also (button/link) displays with a double gray background for all outputs (IE, FF and Chrome). See below. Does anyone know how or where I would "design" this look (color, point size, etc.) (in RH or in the web output?)

Thanks William for the information. I opened the ehlpdhtm.js file in Dreamweaver. I compared two files, one which was used in my previous help (which I would like to make the See Also look like, this help was created in RH9) and the most recent file (which has the errors, see above images and now am using RH11). But the code in both files are exactly the same for WritePopupMenuLayer. I've included below an image of how I would like the See Also to look and the code from the ehlpdhtm.js file in my current help (RH11).
Also based on the code below, where would I make the change for the "hidden window" (scaling), in the STYLE section?
This is the code from my current help:
function _WritePopupMenuLayer()
    if (!g_bIsPopupMenuInit)
      if (gbBsNS4&&!gbBsNS6) {
//Do not try to write ininle styles for NS! NS can not handle it and will not stop downloading the html page...
           document.write("<DIV CLASS='WebHelpPopupMenu' ID='PopupMenu'></DIV>");
      } else{
      document.write("<DIV ID='PopupMenu' STYLE='position:absolute; left:0px; top:0px; z-index:4; visibility:hidden;'></DIV>");
      if (!(gbBsNS4&&!gbBsNS6)) {
        document.write("<STYLE TYPE='text/css'>");
        if (gbBsMac&&gbBsIE4) {
            document.write(".PopupOver {font-family:'Arial'; color:white; background:navy; font-size:10pt; font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;}");
            document.write(".PopupNotOver {font-family:'Arial'; color:black; background:#c0c0c0; font-size:10pt; font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;}");
        } else {
            document.write(".PopupOver {font-family:'Arial'; color:white; background:navy; font-size:8pt; font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;}");
            document.write(".PopupNotOver {font-family:'Arial'; color:black; background:#c0c0c0; font-size:8pt; font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;}");
        document.write("</STYLE>");
      g_bIsPopupMenuInit = true;
Thanks again for your help,
Chris

RoboHelp 8 crashes when clicking See Also tab of Design-Time Control Properties

My project was previously in RoboHelp 7 and is a merged project. I copied a topic with see also buttons and want to edit the links. I right click the button and select Design-Time Control [name] Properties and click the See Also tab. RoboHelp crashes every single time. Error message:
EventType : BEX
P1 : RoboHTML.exe
P2 : 8.0.0.203
P3 : 4944f3bb
P4 : CLIENTMONTEREYDB.dll
P5 : 8.0.0.203
P6 : 4944e14d
P7 : 000016aa
P8 : c0000409
P9 : 00000000
One thing that is a little strange is that some of the buttons have Design-Time Control [object1] Properites and some have Design-Time Control [RelatedTopic] Properties, but all have the See Also tab.
If I insert a new See Also button using Insert > See Also, the menu choice is Design-Time Control [See Also] Properties and the tab is See Also. Click the tab and RoboHelp crashes.
If I insert a new Related Topics button using Insert > Related Topics, the menu choice is Design-Time Control [Related Topic] Properties and the tab is called Related Topics. Click the tab and RoboHelp does not crash.
I have a whole lot of these buttons I need to modify, so I'd appreciate if anyone knows of a solution to this problem.
Sample HTML for an offending button:

<object
classid="clsid:ADB880A6-D8FF-11CF-9377-00AA003B7A11"
    type="application/x-oleobject">
<param name="Command" value="ALink,MENU" />
<param name="Button" value="Text:See Also" />
<param name="Font" value="Verdana,8,0,,BOLD" />
<param name="Frame" value="" />
<param name="Item1" value="" />
<param name="Item2" value="ChgSubErrSeverity - see also" />
</object>


Hello again
Bummer that!
First, I'll answer something I failed to earlier. You said that sometimes it says SeeAlso and sometimes it's object1. Here's the deal on that.
When you click Insert > See Also the first time in a topic, the control is named SeeAlso. If you copied and pasted or clicked Insert > See Also again, the first time you did that it would be object1 or OBJECT1 depending on whether you used the menu or you copied and pasted. This is because each of these must use a unique name. So is it possible that you disliked seeing object1 on some and you renamed so the second (or third) also was named SeeAlso? I could see that causing RoboHelp to gag.
Assuming that's not it, what about topic filenames or titles? Do any of them have unusual characters in the names? Any character other than 0-9, a-z, A-Z or an underscore ( _ ) is suspect. Perhaps an odd character is tossing a monkey wrench into the works.
Cheers... Rick

If editing the masterpage isn't an option, active publishing features (if not a publishing template) and add that script to the Styles gallery with the !important parameter added on the end. It'll be applied locally to the whole site.

Display of Search Results - Repositioning the "See Also" Command

Hello guys
Does any of you know if it is possible to move the "See Also"-command? Normally the command would be displayed here under "Commands" next to the heading:
Icon      - Heading - Commands
Relevancy - Descr.
Rating    - Properties (like modifiedby, contentlength etc.)
See also this documentation for further description: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fd/fe573d675e910fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm.
Now the question:
I would like to display one single command (See Also) as the last property, which will make the search result look like this:
Icon      - Heading
Relevancy - Description
Rating    - Properties (like modifiedby, contentlength AND See Also)
Is it possible to dislay the command here? And if it is possible, how do I display the command here? Should I enter something like "rnd:see_also_extern" in the Search Result Renderer Settings?
Any help will be rewarded
Regards,
Martin

Hello Prakash
Thank you very much, it solved my problem! Ten points.
As a side question: I noticed that it is not possible to change the text style of the command using "/secondaryTextStyle". Do you know about another way to change the text style? Or is changing the text style of commands and displayname not a part of FlexUI?
Regards,
Martin

Quick way to apply 'see also' or 'in this section' ??

RH8.02 HTML
Hi all,
I'm wanting to add a See Also/Related Topics/In this Section area to my topics and am looking for a way to do it quickly and automatically.
Does RH provide any quick mechanism to add these to topics, say in the bottom on the page.
Basically I want my main/top pages of a section to contain a set of links that points to the other topics in that section. Is there any quick way to do it, or automate it?
I tried to Insert > See Also, and Related Topics but these all created buttons that opened a window, I would prefer the links to sit in the page if possible.
thanks.
Nick

Hi Nick
If you create a new project in RoboHelp 8, choose the Project Template type of Knowledge Base.
Once you have created the project shell, examine the "What's New" topic. At the bottom of the topic are some instructions that may help.

See Also Instruction Sought

Although I have read the help file, I must be missing
something. I am trying to add see also groupings for my topic. So
far I have created the see also control, I have added a see also
text? to the topic properties tab but I have been unable to
determine how to link the item I listed as the see also to a
particular topic.
I know i have had a fair number of questions, I am new to
this software after a year or two away without ever having has much
experience to begin with. I appreciate your patience and thank you
in advance for your help.

Hi all
Perhaps I might offer some insight here. I see that Colum
correctly indicated the basic steps, but there seems to be a bit of
confusion. I think I may know why.
Here are my own basic steps.
1. Create See Also keywords
2. Assign them to topics
3. Insert See Also controls that point to the keywords
Here is where you are probably confused. How exactly to
define and assign the See Also keywords. You should be doing this
using the Index designer. So click the Index tab (hoping here you
are using version 6 or older-please advise if you are using 7, as
the process may be a tad different and need further explanation)
From the Index tab, look at the top of the Index designer and
you see a drop-down that you click and have two choices. Index and
See Also. If you choose See Also, the main part of the Index
designer changes. Once there, you add See Also keywords. You then
display the Topic list on the right side and drag desired topics
from the list on the right, into the Topics For area at the bottom
of the See Also designer.
After you do this, your See Also control insertion should be
pretty straightforward.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

See Also keywords missing

I am using RoboHelp HTML X5.0.2. I have a project that I at
some point converted from WinHelp and have been working with for
many years.
Yesterday I should work with the See Also-keywords in the
project, but discovered that the keyword list was empty. When I
open the topic properties, I can see the See Also keyword(s)
connected to that topic. I can also see the list of keywords when I
open the properties of the See Also design-time control.
I tried adding a new keyword to a topic, and that keyword
showed up in the list. There was created a new file called
rhakeyword.apj which contains the keyword I added.
I renamed and opened the project file in Access, and could
see the list of keywords there. The one keyword I had added was
listed with a positive ID (1) while the other keywords had negative
IDs (-1 etc).
I tried searching the forum archives and the HATT archives,
but I couldn't find anything similar or relevant. Anyone has any
idea what has happened here, or what I can do to get my keywords
back?
Regards,
Rannveig Østevik

I was able to solve the problem by manually editing the
rhakeyword.apj file. I hadn't so many See Also-keyword, so it was
possible to add them there. All links to the keywords were restored
when I added the keywords to this file.
Before that I tried rebuilding the CPD-file, but that didn't
add the keywords to the See Also tab. If I tried to add the
keywords manually in the RoboHelp UI, I got an error messag that
the keyword already existed.

Rannveig Østevik

See Also with a text link

Previously, when I have generated a CHM file, I have been
using a hidden See Also control with a text link for "related
topics". In WebHelp this does not seem to work. Is this correct, or
is it in any way possible to use a text link in this way with
WebHelp?
Regards,
Rannveig Østevik

Hi Rannveig
Typically it goes like this.
1. Insert RelatedTopics control and note name by hovering the
control. Should be RelatedTopics if it is the first, object1 or
OBJECT1 if the second (depending on how the control was inserted)
2. Select the text your user will click to activate the
control and perform the same steps as if you were linking to
another page.
3. In the Hyperlink dialog, instead of listing the path to
the page, type JavaScript:RelatedTopics.Click(). Note that if the
control name is object1 or OBJECT1, you substitute this for
RelatedTopics.
Hopefully this helps... Rick :)

Error on executing See Also search - no authorization for resource

Hi there,
i have installed TREX 6.1 SP 13.
It searching fine but only two bugs - 1)when i'm clicking on "See also" link in search result page - i'm getting error:
"Search Failure
Error on executing See Also search - no authorization for resource
An unexpected severe error occurred during the search call. If the situation persists, inform your system administrator."
2) when i'm clicking on "HTML version" - sometimes i'm getting "No valid content found in store" error message, but it depends on index.
Any ideas?

Hello Kwong,

Almost There - See Also

Believe me. I have looked at help. Its not that......
helpful, sometimes.
Let me tell you what I have:
1. In the topic properties on the See Also tab I have added
the term 'white listing'
( as in email)
2. Using the See Also "tool" (alternate to index) I have
added text white listing and dragged two topics to the Topics for:
area, lets say the topics are Blocking Senders and Spam Management
3. I have added a see also control to the topic referred to
in #1 above
4. In the properties of the See Also on the Link Options tab
I have selected Button, Popup menu and default for the window and
frame
5. On the See Also tab of the See Also properties there are
three items in the See Also keywords in project, they are black
list, linking and white listing. I have added white listing to the
See Also keywords control area.
After generating the layout, which is in the webhelp format I
do see the button but when clicked it jumps automatically to the
Spam Management topic. It does not list Blocking Senders and Spam
Management as I expected, which are the related topics.
Can you provide instruction? Thanks in advance.
BTW, just wondering, are most of the forum folks technical
writers by trade or developers????
Dave

Hi Dave
One thing that is way cool is that the See Also control has
intelligence. Assume you have three topics assigned. You are
viewing one of the three. The popup menu will only list the other
two, because the topic being displayed really doesn't need to be
there. After all, you are in the topic!
As you only have two topics assigned, the control is also
exhibiting more intelligence in just linking the user over to the
other topic as opposed to presenting a popup, then forcing them to
click a second time to visit the only other topic.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

See Also Links Not Working

Note: Moving this discussion from Adobe Community > RoboHelp > Discussions to this forum (Adobe Community > RoboHelp > WebHelp).
I apologize up front for the duplicate, but the original post was in the wrong forum I think, and I could not find a way to easily change the forum location.
Can someone help, PLEASE?
Can someone point me to a forum post that I have missed that has an answer?
I have searched the forum posts for hours with no success. However, I did find some fixes to other problems related to opening WebHelp using Chrome.
I have a WebHelp project containing See Also links.
The links don’t work in Chrome. The links work as expected in Firefox and Internet Explorer.
The links are not appearing anywhere in the topic, for example, at the top of the topic.
The project is currently stored locally and can be opened.
I stored the project on a network drive, but the links still don’t work.
Is there any chance that the links will work if the project is stored on a Web server? I don’t have access to a Web server to test the links.
I don’t have the luxury of upgrading to RH10, so I hope there is a fix that will work with RH9.
Thanks in advance for any help.

@Jeff_Coatsworth
First, thanks for your help.
I have seen the thread you provided, http://forums.adobe.com/message/5775431#5775431#5775431.
Previously, I had added "--allow-file-access-from-files" to a Chrome shortcut as noted in the thread. I can open the project that is stored locally using the customized shortcut.
The See Also links (button) still don’t work.
I had not tried the suggestion to update whproxy.js that is at http://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/kb/webhelp-output-fails-load-chrome.html.
I didn’t try the suggestion because it related to RH10, and I am using RH9.
I have now tried the suggestion.
I downloaded whproxy.js and replaced the file in the output folder as noted.
I cannot view the local project in Chrome using the new whproxy.js file. The page flickers.
I removed "--allow-file-access-from-files" from the customized shortcut, but the project still couldn’t be viewed.
I reverted to my original whproxy.js file and the use of "--allow-file-access-from-files". I can view the project again.
However, the problem still exists with the See Also links. The button is visible but clicking the button does not open the list of topics.
Do you have any other suggestions that I can try?
