Splash not working in Webhelp

I'd like to add our logo as a splash page that appears for a few seconds each time online help is accessed by the user.  I tried using the design-time controls, and the logo will appear fine when viewing just the page from within Robohelp.  However, the splash does not appear when viewing the files outside of robohelp.  I've searched Adobe.com and the only thing I can come up with is that splash screens work with Microsoft HTML help only.  Is there a way to have a splash page?  I saw the option of creating a redirect, but I didn't like the outcome.
Thank you!  Ellen

Hi Ellen
I do this all the time. You want to avoid using the Splash control. As you have seen, it doesn't work for WebHelp.
What you need is something called a redirect page. Basically you configure the topic that is to be the splash with some internal HTML code.
Configure the page as you wish the user to see it and click the HTML button in the editor. Look near the top of the lines of code for lines beginning with <meta.
Add a line that looks like this:
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="0;URL=TopicName.htm">
Configure TopicName.htm to be the path and file name of the topic you wish to redirect to. Change the 0 to reflect how many seconds should elapse before the redirect occurs.
For example, to redirect to a topic named ElmerFudd.htm in the project root after 5 seconds, it would look like this:
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="5;URL=ElmerFudd.htm">
If your ElmerFudd.htm topic is perhaps in a WarnerBrothers folder, it looks like this:
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="5;URL=WarnerBrothers/ElmerFudd.htm">
Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • Search not working in WebHelp

    I have a project containing hundreds of table definitions,
    for each I have created a separate topic. For example one such
    table is FR_STAN_RAW_BOOK and I have created a topic of the same
    name. The topic is in the TOC and indexed but when I try and search
    for it using the Search bar in the WebHelp toolbar or the
    naviagtion pane on the left, the topic is not listed. I'v tried
    using wildcard characters too but still no results. Any
    ideas?

    Wildcards do not work in webhelp.
    I would experiment with:
    - Creating a new topic with a different name but copying the
    code from the body section so that the topic is otherwise
    identical.
    - Changing the name.
    - Trying it without underscores (may not be an acceptable
    solution but might reveal the problem)

  • Search Not Working in WebHelp - Suspected Java Issue

    The Search function in our output WebHelp system is not working from one user's laptop.  The WebHelp is generated from our RoboHelp 8.  Search does work in everyone else's access to the system.  This Windows 7 laptop displays an "Error on Page" message when he enters a search value and then chooses the Search button.  He says the same error occurs for the Index. Because no other users have this problem, we are definitely thinking it's something in his laptop configuration for Java - as we see the JS file references in the error details, as shown below.
    The details for the "Error on Page" message are referencing the following messages and JS files
    Index error messages in details:
    Object doesn't support this property or method - whthost.js
    'innerHeight' is undefined - whutils.js
    Search error messages in details:
    Object doesn't support this property or method - whthost.js
    'innerHeight' is undefined - whutils.js
    'gaFakes[...].nB' is null or not an object - whhost.js
    'Node' is undefined - whfhost.js
    What should he check in his Java?  He's using Java 6, Standard Edition, update 16.  Any ideas or suggestions about what he should check on this laptop?  I would appreciate your help and expertise in solving this mystery!  Hopefully I've provided enough details here - but let me know what else I need to provide.
    Thanks so much,
    Susan

    We were getting this error sometimes.
    I modified the code in wsutils.js as follows:
    Original code:
    function    getClientHeight()
        if(gbSafari3)
             return innerHeight;   //this is for safari
    return document.body.clientHeight;      }
    New code:
    function getClientHeight()
    return document.body.clientHeight;
    Seems to work (at the cost I guess of losing support for safari browsers - but I haven't tested that), but I can't test that it never fails because it was an intermittent fault...

  • Search does not work on webhelp or webhelp pro

    I save and generate with webhelp or webhelp pro-- search function does not work. If I open the same project on another system with robohelp and save and generate it ( during save/generate, I reselect DHTML>Pure HTML and check Search input field in toolbar)   SEARCH FUNCTION WORKS!
    It looks to be configuration or corruption with my robohelp? Any suggestions?

    Yes, I think you may have found your issue there – try deactivating, uninstall RH and reinstall.

  • TOC not working in WebHelp - unwanted prefix appended

    Hi,
    We are using RoboHelp for Word (8.2) to generate a multi-.hlp WinHelp project and then a WebHelp project from the same source. We have a master .cnt file that includes the .cnt files from all the .hlp files.
    The WinHelp is working OK (except for the .shg problem that I have posted about many times before, but we've given up on that for the present).
    Our current problem is that when we generate the WebHelp project, the TOC does not work except for the initial file (the one that the .hpj is named after and that appears when you open the project).
    If you click on any other topic in the TOC, it doesn't work, although if you open the topic from the project's index or search tab, it works.
    I can see what the problem is, but I don't know how to fix it. Here's a picture. I apologize for the fuzziness, but I think you can see in the circled area that the TOC link is looking for a file called program_programming_flowchart.htm. The actual name of the file is programming_flowchart.htm. Apparently RoboHelp is inserting a prefix that includes the name of the included .cnt file (in this case, program.cnt).
    I found a place in RoboHelp (under Tools>> Options) that looks like it would control something like this, but the check box is not checked. I looked both in the main WebHelp project and in the original WinHelp sub-projects and it was not checked anywhere. Here it is:
    Does anyone know how to stop this behavior?
    Thank you - Sandy

    OK, for all five of you who are still using RoboHelp for Word - and the two of you (maybe) who are using RoboHelp for Word to generate WebHelp - here's what we eventually figured out, by trial and error:
    When you generate WebHelp, you get to the following dialog:
    If you click on the Advanced button you get to the following dialog:
    The highlighted field, External Topics, needs to be set on "Retain." Best wishes - S.

  • Search not Working in Webhelp or Webhelp Pro

    I am currently running Adobe Robohelp version 10.  I have several different RH files that I manage (desk procedures) and in each of the ones that I manage, my latest publishings have broken search functions.  What I mean by broke: it will search some words just fine, but others that I know are in my desk procedures show "no topics found".   Some of my files are published using webhelp and some webhelp pro, with the same problem.
    I have done the following:
    1) Gone back to a backed up file dated 05/01/2014 (that the search seems to be working just fine in) and done edits to it, published and it breaks the search.
    2) I have gone back to the working 05/01/2014 file and done nothing to it except publish it and it breaks.
    3) Checked the button to clear the cache
    4) From Webhelp Settings Option I have:
    ·         Changed output folder that it publishes to (which is on a local drive before I transfer it to the network drive)
    ·         I have enabled substring search (which actually does allow it to render some results, but not all the results it should)
    ·         Tried to click “Republish All” setting
    5) Created new (not duplicate) webhelp layout
    6) Checked that language is set to English (US)
    7) Ensured that the words that I know aren’t searching aren’t included in the ignore and stop list.
    8) Tried switching from DHTML > Pure HTML to just Pure HTML
    9) I noticed that the Output view generates the following message :
                    Processing Full-text-search data...
    Finished processing Full-Text-Search data in 0 sec(s)
    10) Deleted the “webhelp” file from the !SSL! folder and then republished it
    11) The biggest finds that I have are the following:
    ·         That publishing the file is what seems to break the search functionality
    ·         When the file is published a few of the files in the !SSL! folder are substantially smaller than they were in the working file:
    o   WHXDATA
    o   WHGDATA
    Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

  • Some Hyperlinks not Working in WebHelp

    I have several hyperlinks to .gif image files. I hyperlink to
    the .gif file and then choose to open in an auto sizing popup. Some
    of the links work, and others don't. I've checked to make sure that
    the properties for the ones that don't work are the same as those
    that do, but even after making everything the same, I still cannot
    view some of the files. Anyone have any ideas. I've gone through
    the forum and nothing I've come across, yet, has helped. I'd
    appreciate any assistance anyone could give.

    Thanks Rick. I just added my image file to the Baggage Files
    and the hyperlink now works. If you'll indulge me, though, I have a
    follow-up question. I'm using RH in the Adobe Tech Comm Suite. I
    actually added all my image files to the primary project folder and
    most of those image files are hyperlinked in my system, and the
    links work. Would you have any idea why some hyperlinks work and
    some don't? Also, would you suggest that I add all my image files
    to the Baggage to ensure the links work when I place the WebHelp on
    my server. Thanks for your help on this.

  • Links to open PDF not working in WebHelp RH TCS3

    In my FM files I want to create links to open a pdf file (ideally at named destinations, but that seems a distant dream )
    In RoboHelp I have included the PDF in my baggage folder (in it's own folder, called PDF)
    My Go to URL link in FM is: message URL PDF/ICM_User_Manual.pdf
    The link seems ok as far as the view source for the .htm file is concerned
    The help is being served from a folder on a Tomcat web server, if that makes any difference.
    However, the link does not display as a hyperlink (no hand is displayed). I've tried all kind of things to make it work, but to no avail.
    Having searched the forums, I haven't come across a definitive answer as to:
    A. Whether this actually works in a linked project.
    B. If it does work, what the correct syntax is in FM to persuade the link inn RH to do as it should?
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    Compare the link in the RH file with the location of the PDF baggage file. Modify the FM marker to reflect that path.
    One note:
    Per Rick (I think) you should disable the Mark of the Web in order to see a working link in the generated SSL. This doesn't impact the published file (and in any case it would work in the published project) but with MOTW on, you will experience a dead link when previewing the project.

  • WebHelp search generated by RoboHelp 8 not working in Safari 5.0

    Hello,
    I'm new to the forum, but have been lurking for a  while, and have benefitted greatly  from answers found here.  Thanks!
    I use RoboHelp 8 HTML - recently upgraded from X5  - to generate WebHelp for a  cross-browser compatible web app.   I generate using the DHTML > Pure HTML  option, and Safari is using the DHTML  version. I use 'traditional style (no skin),' 'Optimize speed for: Local PC or  Intranet'.
    The Help seems to work fine in Safari for Windows, but now with the recent  update to Safari 5.0, the Search functionality is not working at all. The search  tab displays properly, but upon entering text and pressing Enter, nothing  happens.  It works in all other major browsers, except Opera which gets the Pure HTML version, and there I hid the search tab all together because it's unacceptable in that state.
    The only customization I've done is swap out the  tab images, and insert a little css to  hide (display:none;) the "limit search results to __" option as it was getting  cut off in every browser, and I couldn't figure out why, or how to fix  it.
    Any ideas?  Anyone else seeing this?
    Thanks for your anticipated help!

    Hi there
    Your mention of:
    I still think this deserves attention, and would like to hear what others think.
    Seems to imply you feel I was attempting to make you shrug it off. I wasn't. I was attempting to coax you (and anyone else) to submit the Bug Report. You have no idea how critical this aspect is. I see you made no mention of doing that so I'm assuming you ignored the suggestion.
    Many folks have the grossly mistaken belief that the Bug Report/Wish Form just sends information to a circular file where it is never acted upon or seen again and as a result, you have had your say and it makes you feel better for getting it off your chest. But these things are actually reviewed by the development team. Each and every one of them. You may not get a personal response for each one you submit, but sometimes you do!
    As for changing the verbiage, click File > Project Settings > General and look at the LNG File tab of the ensuing dialog. You are able to influence all manner of verbiage in that little gem.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Webhelp search not working in 1 project

    Robohelp 8 HTML
    Hi all,
    For some reason, the search in my webhelp output is not working in 1 particular project. No matter what I search for the results are always zero, and I know these words/terms are in there....I've checked across all browsers and its not working anywhere.
    The AIR version of the project searches fine and all works, so its something specific with webhelp.
    I can't figure out why.Is there somewhere that I can check or something I can do, I haven't made any particular changes to the project recently, nothing that I believe should be affecting the search. I tried re-publishing with and without the substring search adn still nothing.
    Other projects I've just published and the search works on them fine.
    Few Notes:
    I do not have 508 compliance on.
    Generating DHTML, not Pure HTML.
    Have tried generating to different folders, no change.
    Fail with and without substring search enabled.
    Any ideas welcome.
    Thanks, Nick
    PS. Probably better for this to be in the webhelp forum, move if you can. Thanks,

    Hi Nick
    This could explain why things broke. It sounds like you need to understand the process better.
    Generating and Publishing are two distinctly different actions. Consider your project to be like baking cookies. When you generate, you are putting the cookies in the oven and out pops baked cookies.
    Publishing is the action of copying content from your local storage to the server. It's like moving the baked cookies to the display case where customers may grab them up.
    A server is a very busy place. The action of generating normally clears and removes content from the location where you generate. It's helpful if nothing else is going on at that time. Thus, we recommend you generate to your local hard drive. Normally to a folder inside the !SSL! folder. Then you configure a server destination where you publish. What you are doing is like removing all the baked cookies (or trying to) and then moving straight from the oven to the display case. Usually you place the cookies in an intermediate spot to cool.
    When you click the Publish button (after you have configured things) RoboHelp will dutifully copy files from your hard drive to the server. The first time through, it has to copy ALL the files. It also makes a list of which files were copied. Then on subsequent publish cycles, only the changed content is published. This means it publishes much quicker. I've seen it where the first publish took perhaps 20 minutes to complete. Five topics were changed and help was re-generated and the Publish cycle took perhaps 15 seconds.
    As you can hopefully see, you probably felt you were saving a step. In reality, you were probably causing yourself an issue.
    Cheers... Rick

  • When building an iPad HTML5 app, why does the splash page not work correctly in landscape mode?

    I have recently completed an HTML5 web app for the ipad and one of the most challenging things about the process was getting the splash screen to work.
    I have now succesfully completed the job and the splash screen works, but only under the bizarre condition that the app is first launched in portrait mode. This seems pretty crazy as most people using the ipad for browsing do so in landscape mode.
    Has anyone come across this problem and resolved it?
    cheers

    yes, bare in mind this is an HTML5 Web App and not a native app. so yes I have included code for both landscape and portrait modes.
    I install the web app and open in portrait, it works. then close and open in landscape, it works.
    if i install the app and open in landscape FIRST... then no splash screen ever works.
    This isn't just my problem. I've read about in several forums over the past few days while investigating.
    thanks

  • RHTML 8 WebHelp Search in Chrome not working

    We are running RoboHTML 8, with output to WebHelp. The project does include PDF files. I mention
    this because of other Discussions I've read looking for a solution.
    The output is delivered to customers in a WAR and it serves just fine from the server in IE, FireFox,
    and, even though technically not supported, in Chrome. However, in Chrome, while the TOC and Index
    are ok, Search does not work from the server. (I did notice repainting issues when selecting multiple
    entries in succession in the Index - as noted in another Discussion.)
    What I mean by "does not work" is that when I type in a word ("expression", for example) and click Search, nothing happens.
    The Search field is highlighted in a thin red line, so perhaps it is related to a security issue?
    I have used Peter Grainge's Snippet to run the help output locally in Chrome and it runs fine. However,
    Search does not work in Chrome when running the help locally.
    I tried deleting the CPD and then opening the project and regenerating, but that did not
    make any difference.
    I saw another Post that said to try RH 10, but our manager said that upgrading is
    not a first choice if another way to fix can be found.
    Can anyone help please? 

    Always difficult to answer when the question is phrased as you have put it. Rh9 and 10 are supported for Chrome and searching does work. It is always possible that something in your project or environment may cause a problem so no one will say for sure it will work. It should but the only sure way is to download the trial and check it out.

  • 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:

    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.

  • Bluetooth keyboard not working when prompted for wifi splash screen io7

    I just upgraded to IO7 on my ipad and I use the apple bluetooth keyboard. However, when the WiFi splash screen appear to login using say Cisco's login the keyboard does not work. Meaning it does not accept keystrokes. Because the keyboard is paired there is no way to show the normal onscreen keyboard unless you unpair.
    My work around has been to dismiss the splash screen and open up safari then try to hit a website which then produces the splash screen within the browser. Then I'm able to use the keyboard again. Anyone had the same issue and is there a work around as this is highly annoying.

    Thank for showing interest in my situation and trying to answer, however yes...
    FROM ABOVE: "Attempting to repair the keyboard accomplished nothing, however I did learn that when prompted to enter the bluetooth 4 digit code for pairing the keyboard was able to send the 4 numerical digits and striking the return key did succesfully pair the keyboard to the iPad again."
    I'm going to try "Forgetting the Device", turning off the Bluetooth Keyboard, Turning off the iPad 2 iOS7, Turning the iPad 2 iOS7 back on, Turning the Bluetooth Keyboard back on, then setting it up via the Bluetooth menu again. Doubt turning off the iPad will accomplish much, but it will be good to have it scratched off the list.

  • Merged WebHelp Pro projects in RH8 - CSH options not working

    Hi -
    We are trying to upgrade from RH7 to RH8. Currently, we have several context-sensitive WebHelp Pro projects that are merged on the RH7 Pro server. To accomplish this, we simply select the "merge projects" check box in the Admin tool. (Nothing is done in the RoboHelp client w/respect to merging as must be performed with non-Pro projects.)
    The master project is master by virtue of being listed first in the Web Administrator. The order of the remaining projects defines their order in the merged Help TOC. The master project specifies two named custom windows and a custom skin. In the WebHelp Pro options for the child projects, we set Skin = Default and Default Window = None.
    The Help implementation is context-sensitive using map IDs. Some have the older context strings, defined in their respective projects' .ppf file. All works as expected in RH7. When a map ID is called from one of our applications, the individual Help topic inherits the master project's custom window and skin. The topic with the specified map ID or context string appears in the right-hand pane of the custom frameset. The TOC lists the topics of all merged projects. We used the RoboHelp-supplied RoboHelp_CSH.js in the design of the Help system. The call looks like this:
    <a
    href="javascript:RH_ShowHelp(0,'http://<ServerURL>/roboapi.asp>MyHelpWindow',HH_HELP_CONTEXT,'5108')">Help</a>
    We don't specify a project name and the server is happy (still resolves the map ID). For RH8, we have set things up identically on the server. However, the 'child' projects are not inheriting the 'look' (window/skin) defined in the master project. Either that, or the map IDs are not resolving. We also have a single-pane window defined in the master project for Help pop-ups, which now insists on appearing with the other custom window's frameset (button bar, TOC, and topic pane). We have changed nothing, other than importing the RH7 projects into the RH8 client. The server's "merge" check box is selected. The call to Help for RH8 needed to change and so far looks like this:
    <a href=http://<serverURL>/<context>/server?area=Area_51&ctxid=5108&wnd=MyHelpWindow>Help</a>
    Note that we haven't tackled using the Robohelp_CSH.js file that is packaged with RH8 yet. First things first, i.e. make sure server is running correctly and we have devined the new parameter syntax correctly. The question is, what needs to change for our Help application to work in RH8? The link specified above displays the correct HTML frameset, but the topic pane is empty/blank. If we leave out wnd=MyHelpWindow, we get the correct topic, but it apears in the user's default browser window, with no TOC. Also, if we target the single-pane window I mentioned above, it appears in the expected size and location defined in the master project, but it is multi-paned (again, with a blank topic pane).
    Here is one observation. We did find that in the RH7 Web Admin, selecting the master project and clicking View Project shows the master's default topic in the custom frameset. Doing the same for some child projects, they display their default topic in a plain window (no frameset). In RH8, many child projects would display the default RoboHelp frameset and a 404 error in the topic pane. By carefully investigating the child projects' NewWindow settings, we've found that RH8 is particularly sensitive if those settings are anything other than having 'One Pane' and 'Use Default Browser Settings' selected.
    Does anyone know why this is still not working? Any help appreciated.

    Hi RoboHobo,
    Unfortunately my previous post got a little messed up. I wanted to point you to link http://forums.adobe.com/message/2220336#2220336 , but somehow the url for that hyperlink was set incorrectly and it pointed to another post of mine.
    Anyways I hope this one gets posted properly. The workaround I was talking about is this(just a copy paste from my other post) :
    The page that you get has javascript code to open a popup window to launch page containing context sensitive help. If you view source of the page you get for CSH link, you will find it has javascript code like :
    <script language="JavaScript" src="/robohelp/robo//server/resource/window.js"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript">

    May be you have popup blocker enabled in your browser and that’s why popup window containing the help doesn’t open up.
    The reason its launched in a separate browser window is so that CSH window properties specified in help layout can be applied on the new window.
    If you have to do away with the popup window and want the page to open directly by entering the URL, then there is a workaround, but in that case your CSH window won’t have the properties specified in Webhelp Pro window used while publishing Webhelp Pro to RoboHelp Server 8.
    The workaround is as follows:
    1) Backup <RHS8_Install>/WEB-INF/SysWebPrjLst/wnd_ie_iframe.asp and <RHS8_Install>/WEB-INF/SysWebPrjLst/wnd_ns_window.asp
    2) Stop Tomcat service
    3) Edit <RHS8_Install>/WEB-INF/SysWebPrjLst/wnd_ie_iframe.asp and <RHS8_Install>/WEB-INF/SysWebPrjLst/wnd_ns_window.asp and copy following text in these files:
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=<%=strWorkspaceURL%>">
    </head>
    <body>
    <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">The help page you are looking for can be found at <a href="<%=strWorkspaceURL%>">here</a>.</font>
    </body>
    </html>
    4) Delete all files in <RHS8_Install>/robo/server/resource
    5) Start tomcat service again
    Now the CSH url should take you directly to the help page you are looking for.
