Some child chms don't display topic in topic pane when TOC item is clicked

Okay. I'm not sure what's going on.
We have a master project and various sub-chms that get merged into the TOC of that master project. We have a fairly new sub RH project named "Toolkit Modules" that generates three additional sub chms that are also merged into the master help. They appear at the very end of the master project's TOC:
<master help's toc>
<10 other merged chms>
toolkitmodules.chm
toolkitmodules_blade.chm
toolkitmodules_vwmp.chm
All the topics for the three toolkit modules chms exist in the Toolkit Modules project and are conditionally marked with topic-level build tags so that the right topics appear in their respective chm.
I compiled the three toolkit chms and then put them in the master root directory so that when the master help is generated, they get included properly.
At first glance, all three of these chms appear to be working fine in the master TOC. I can expand and view the master help's TOC for the sub projects just fine, but clicking on a TOC entry does not display
the topics for these two chms in the topic pane:
toolkitmodules_blade.chm
toolkitmodules_vwmp.chm
I'm not sure why.
If I double-click and open up the individual chms from within Windows and view their contents, the topics appear as expected in those chms. It's just when merged, these latter two chms don't do anything from the TOC side. However, I have verified that the topics are indeed getting merged in, because I can use the Search tab to see the topics. In fact, the Locate button on the toolbar even expands the correct TOC and highlights the entry that matches. So something's just not working from the TOC side.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Right now I simply don't have the bandwidth to say "send me your project". You may see me ask others to do so but that will only be where I believe it will be simple or I just need to see something.
Take a look at Item 13 in http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh9/using_rh9.htm. That covers the fix to the merged CHM help problem that was used before Adobe fixed it in 902. Part of the problem was the HHP getting rewritten so maybe something there will help.
Any merged CHM help users able to pitch in here?

Email messages don't display in thunderbird message pane but wdseml file is good.

There are some email messages that don't display correctly in the Thunderbird message pane.
Either the pane is completely empty or chunks of html show up in the pane.
I checked the actual email file stored in:
C:\Users\Dave\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\d976yxfm.default\Mail\pop-server\Inbox.mozmsgs
and it looks good, as the Windows 7 explorer window is able to show the email message cleanly in the preview window.
When I click on "View Source", it shows the wrong source file, I think.
The text in the "view source" window doesn't match the text in the ".wdseml" file at all.
Note: I recently migrated my C drive from a spinning hard disk to an SSD, perhaps this caused the weirdness? But, most of my email messages do display correctly, just some of them are hosed.
Any ideas how to fix?
Currently running Windows 7, 64 bit, latest update from Microsoft (as of 3/13/2014).

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Windows still has a command processor.
So no need for bash.
type CMD into the search box to locate it
If you can use bash I assume your familiar with CD to change folders.
One little thing I use to save typing is I locate the folder in Explorer, click beside the path so it changes to a C:\ based item and use Ctrl + C to copy it and paste it into my CMD session. CTRL+V does not work, but edit on the windows system menu does.
To rename the files, navigate to the folder they are in and Copy *.wdseml *.eml
once you do the import return and del *.eml to clear out the duplicates from the first step.

Some RAW images don't display

i have a folder with about 300 RAW photos from my new Canon 50D. In bridge some of them show up but many, seemingly randomly selected show as the generic CR2 icon. I've got the beta of Adobe RAW and i can open the files in photoshop. Any suggestions? Thanks

Then Purge the Cache for each darn folder, one by one, through the Tools menu in Bridge: Tools > Cache > Purge cache for 'foldername'.
Don't use the global purge cache command in Bridge preferences. It's broken.

Some cube records don't displaying in BPS layout

Hello, gurus!
I met crazy situation: I see in my cube (thru LISTCUBE) 5 almost identical records, with only difference - package ID - 3 with different APO packages, and 2 - with identical REQU. In my BEx queries, I see the correct sum of all 5 packages, but in my planning layout in BPS - just sum of 3 APO-packages! All packages relevant to queries in cube.
In RSRV I'd find following unrepairable error:
15748 units missing from fact table /BIC/FYCPLBSP; see details.
Could be the reason of ignoring 2 REQU-packages records in BPS layout?

Hello Mikhail,
BPS does not display any records where units or currency key are missing. You have to delete those records and load them properly (put a rule in your transfer rules like "if keyfigure <> 0 and unit is initial. raise error. endif.").

Smart Albums don't display in Photos App, only when edit Contacts Photo

I created a Smart Photo Album on my Macbook Pro and synced it to my iPhone4. When I open the Photos App, the smart album isn't listed but when I edit a Contact's photo by clicking on the Choose Photo button, the Smart Album is listed along with all the other albums.
But when I just go to the Photos App on it's own, the Smart Album is still not there.
Anyone have a similar problem?

New topics are compiled in but don't display when help button is pressed

Folks,
I'm using RoboHelp HTML Build 6. I am the only writer who uses RH and have been using this build for 2 years or so.
I recently got a new map file from the developer containing 2 new map IDs. I used the same steps to import the map file, create the new topics, and map them to the new map IDs that I have been using for years. But when I compiled RH and pasted the chm into the application folder, those 2 new topics don't display when the help button is clicked on the dialog box to which they are mapped.
When I generate the chm I can look at the output at the bottom of RH project view and see that that the 2 new htm files are being compiled into the RH project. I can also see them if I open the generated chm and go into the TOC and click on a link to them.
Does anyone have any ideas? I have tried redoing the usual procedure (see below) for the importing and mapping from scratch several times. I have also tried BugHunter (see below).
Procedure for Importing and Mapping (this time the help for all the older dialog boxes works but not for the 2 new ones)
1. Open the new map (.hm) file from the developer and add #define followed by a space to each entry beginnng with the string HID in the new map file (I don't know why but nothing works unless I do this.)
2. Delete the old map file from the RH project.
3. In Windows Explorer, copy the new .hm file into the RH project folder.
4.In Project Manager view, open Context-Sensitive Help. Right-click on Map Files. Select Import. Browse and select the new map file.
6. Map the new topics using File, Edit Map IDs.
7. Generate the .chm and pasted it into the application where it always goes.
BugHunter Procedures and Results
I first tried the Test HTML Help API dialog.
I specified the .CHM file I compiled and tested both options:
--HH_DISPLAY_TOPIC: I put in the name of the new help (htm) file and its relative path and clicked Help. Nothing happened.
--HH_HELP_CONTEXT: I put in the Map Number for the new dialog box and clicked Help. The new help topic I had created displayed.
I also used the Tools tab in BugHunter to do a CSH (context sensitive help) Test. I identified the chm file and opened it and put in a new map number, then clicked Show Help. Nothing happened.

Welcome to the RH forums.
On the surface it sounds like you have done everything correctly so it should just be a case of going back and double checking that you have the correct CHM, that the mapid is exactly the same as in the app and that the app has been updated.

Why some sites don't display pictures on my IPod Touch?

When I surf the web on my IPT(IPod Touch)some sites don't display pictures....Instead there is a kind of blue Lego cube with a question mark on it...
Thanks,
JF

The most common cause is that the site uses Flash. Currently, the Touch doesnt' support Flash. If it's not Flash, it may be some other protocol or app that the Touch doesn't support.

Robohelp 8: Child Project topics not displaying in the topic pane

Hi All:
I am working on a Robohelp 8 merged help with four child projects. The child project I added last (which appears as Child 2 on the ToC) displays fine in the ToC pane. However, none of the Child 2 topics display in the Topics pane.
When I investigated, I found that Child 2 had a few broken links. I fixed them but this has made no difference.
I have cleared the MergedHelp folder and recompiled a few times, but w/o any change. Child 1, 3 and 4 topics display in the topics pane, but not Child 2 topics.
Would appreciate any pointers.
Regards,
Sophie

Try deleting the child from the TOC and readding it. If that does not work, can you post an image of what you are seeing. You can do so via the camera toolbar icon.

Don't auto archive old topics, because I might return, some day

Here is a suggestion: Don't auto archive old topics, because I might return, some day. It is really annoying, that after couple of months or so I come back, and my threads have been locked. Also the message of locking is very small, hard to notice. I just try and try to post, but nothing helps. Then I find out, oh, the thread is convieniently locked. At the very least, the message should be more clear, and different icon for locked messages.
Thread about this at user forums http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2392195&tstart=0

Hi Barbara,
For some people it is a useful thing.
The Example I linked to is in iSight's forum and if you go there you will see it not that far down the Topic List.
Mostly I have seen nice comments or very late thanks as in the Example.
Currently at the top of the second page in iChat 3 forum is one I used a similar technique on myself. It is the one with the red Title. (iChat 3 is currently getting more posts than iSight is so it has progressed further down).
It is an archived thread so even further Helpfuls and Solved stars cannot be awarded ...
I will leave you to work out what I did and how it could be abused.

I'm running windows 8 with PSE 11 ans some of my pic don't display only a gray box with a paper in side it, when i go to a albums most of my pic don't display

Try selecting the thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+A) to select all, then click on the top menu
Edit à Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache by navigating to:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\MyCatalog
In side the MyCatalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
thumb.5.cache
After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
N.B. The ProgramData folder is sometimes a system hidden file, in which case please follow these instructions before starting.

Why some fonts don't display properly

I use Windows 7, Pagemake 7 (with update 7.01)
Some fonts don't display properly in pagemaker file. Sometimes they look blank; sometimes display in part and the rest as blank. In fit-in Window view, sometimes a page displays properly, and next page is blank, go back to the previous page, it also turns blank. Some times letters look garbled. Display varies as and when the view size is changed.Example for the fonts - Souvenir LtBt . What could be the problem and what is the solution ?

Pagemaker is old software, it was designed for use when fonts were quite limited. It will only display the first 256 characters in a font. Modern fonts have moved way beyond this limitation. The solution is to stick with older fonts, or to upgrade to indesign. It does sound like your souvenir font could be corrupted, running font management software is a good practice no matter what program you use.

Some graphs don't display in OEM Grid Control 10gR5 (10.2.0.5)

A number of the performance graphs (e.g. Top Activity) don't display i.e. there is nothing but if if you right-click in the empty area you get a small pull down with Print, Settings, About Adobde Flash 10.
This has all happend after upgrading to 10.2.0.5. OMS and client environment is:
Windows 2003 SP2 (32 bit), IE 6 with Flash ActiveX 10, Flash Player 10.
Anyone got any ideas or anyone got it working fine.
Thanks.

RH7 Topics in TOC don't display in Help

I'm using RH7; I create Web Help and printed documentation, both Word and pdf versions. All of my topics are in the TOC. However, two of the topics (which are in the TOC) don't appear in the generated Help or in either version of the printed documentation. If you jump to them from internal links, they show up, but they don't appear in the geneated Help's or printed documentation's TOC. ?!?
It's particularly a problem in the printed documentation, for when I want to create a user's manual from the file and only find out by accident that something is missing.
I've tried restarting the program and restarting the computer. :-) Windows xp professional.
Thanks for any tips!
Lance

Hi there
Do these topics simply not appear in the TOC to click on or is it more that you see them in the TOC, but clicking does not produce an action?
Do you have any Conditional Build Tags applied?
Cheers... Rick

Invalid HTML tag - Is this true? Child .chm files cannot have underscores in name?

I’ve been having the following problem:
file mk:@MSITStore: … xxx.chm::/xxx.hhc contains an invalid HTML tag
In more detail what happens:
You click on the .chm file to open it and you get a dialog with an error message:
The file mk:@MSITStore:E:\p4_work\1663\isentris\isentris\end-user\trunk\src\Symyx_Isentris\!SSL!\M icrosoft_HTML_Help\Symyx_Isentris.chm::/Symyx_Isentris.hhc contains an invalid HTML tag
There is an OK button and when you click that, then the .chm file opens just fine.
All child .chms open fine when I click on them.
This merged help project worked fine until I upgraded from RH X5 to RH7. I hadn’t changed anything. Then I started reading the forum (RoboHelp HTML Help).
What I’ve done so far:·         Upgraded all help projects from RH X5 to HR7.
·         Regenerated all .chm files, added them again to parent help project’s TOC. Child .chm files open fine.
·         Regenerated a new parent .chm.
So, I see that one of Colum's answers in another thread was to make sure that none of the child .chms had underscores in the title.
>>>>>>>>>> !!!!!!!!   you mean that RoboHelp now does not accept underscores in .chm titles? Please don’t let it be so.
Also, several people said that they solved the problem like this:
·         “You will get this message if your merged CHMs are not in a book in your merged TOC. Check that. “ You mean I have to associate a book icon with each child .chm in the parent’s TOC?
·         My guess is that the merged project should be placed inside a book in the main project's TOC. You'll just have to rearrange the subprojects TOCs so you don't have books inside books.
What does “in a book” mean? See my attached jpegs. The child project’s TOC is in book form … within the child project. However, in the parent project’s TOC, the child projects are shown with that merged symbol … kinda looks like a very angular G. Should I create books that link to destinations? Is that what I should do in the parent project’s TOC? Somehow that doesn’t look like it’s going to work – I looked at both dialogs – link and no link – neither one looked like it would work.
Thanks so much for your help!!

When you have a directory path in the TOC, that means that the directory structure should match. So for example:
TOC (in parent.chm)
!SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\symyx_client.chm
symyx_for_excel.chm
End folder structure: (+ for folder, - for file)
+ Help
   - parent.chm
   - symyx_for_excel.chm
     + !SSL!
        + Microsoft_HTML_Help
           - symyx_client.chm
Now if the symyx_client file shows up okay after the error message, possibly the parent chm file is smart enough to correct for the directory structure not being there, but a file with the correct name existing in the same directory as the parent.
We've always tried to ensure out merge references don't have a path - RH has the annoying habit of requiring the chm file to be copied into the root, but we just delete it after the first build, as it shouldn't need to be there for the actual compile process. In fact, we've had problems with the chm being physically built into our parent chm, drastically increasing the file size and resulting in duplicate and outdated topics in search. We leave the file there for the first build as sometimes the merge doesn't work first go without it; I think it has to do with how it gets added to the hhp file.
To test that our merge works, we just copy a couple of the files into the same folder (e.g. c:\temp\test) to double-check. We need this process as our clients get different combinations of the total chm files built into our parent.
Something else I've just thought of is maybe there is something strange happening in the actual hhc file. Do you have any topics in that TOC with characters other than a-z, 0-9 and underscore in the filename (in the topic title should be okay, but maybe some particularly odd ones might cause an issue)?
