Status Check on Table of Contents

My status checks work fine for all of my slides, except when I have my "Next" button jump to a slide later down the line. For some reason I'm not getting a checkmark on the TOB for that particular slide.
Also, on that particular slide, the duration will say "1:03" instead of "0.03." 0.03 is what I have allotted according to my slide timeline. So I guess it's taking into account the duration for all of the slides that I'm jumping over. Accessing the slides that I'm jumping over doesn't seem to give me a status check on the slide either.
Has anyone had this problem?
Sorry if this is confusing!

I'll give that a try and see what happens.
Although, my "Next" buttons are set up that way on each slide (they pause at 1.5 seconds) and they seem to be working fine. It's only when I have the "Next" button jump over slides, for example, slide 8 jumps to slide 21 because slides 9-20 are set up as a Glossary, Examples, Resource Information, etc.
I put buttons on each slide so the student can access the Glossary, Examples, and Resource Information at any time during the training. Then on the TOB, I have these slides turned off so the student only accesses them by clicking the button on the slides.
But I'm open to trying anything so I appreciate your suggestion!

Hi there
I don't believe the check mark will appear unless the slide plays fully. If you have a button on the slide that is pausing at perhaps 1.5 seconds and the total silde time is perhaps 3 seconds, you are essentially skipping over 1.5 seconds of the slide to visit the linked slide. You might try adjusting the pause point so it's at the end of the slide and see if that improves things. It may and it may not. I'm not certain. But it's worth a try.
Cheers... Rick

Captivate - Table of Content - Status

Hi there,
I have a Captivate course with a table of contents, I have a
transparent button on each page (to stop at the end of a slide) so
that the user has to use the navigation bar at the bottom to move
between pages. This is fine however I would like the status in the
table of contents to fill in when the user moves to the next
screen.
This does not happen unless you click the transparent button
to move to the next screen. Anyone know a way around this? Many
thanks

Suggestion is to rather let the user use the transparent
button at the end of each slide as the nav bar reads the slide
incompletely viewed if you use it to force a jump to the next
slide. Set button as text, not transparent with e.g. "Continue" as
the text. Infinite attempts allowed and set to "Continue" on
success. This allows the slide to finish playing and your "status"
will now complete.
Cheers
Andrew

Urgent.
I have been not approved of this error

The title of the Table of Contents in portrait view is placeholder text : Book Title. Please redeliver your corrected full book file with a custom preview file. The book will not go live in the store without a matching custom preview file."
1st, how do you clarify the Table of Contents issue. No idea what I am doing wrong
2nd what is a customr preview file? I uploaded a sample book already.
Please advise ASAP

I double check my table of content and I do not have a place holder... so I don't understand the error.

Navigating Table of Contents with Module Reviews and Knowledge Checks

I have been using 5.5 for at least 3 months without issue.
My current course is being published SCORM 1.2 to SumTotal LMS, but that is not relevant at this time.
I have 3 modules in the course (3 module reviews and sets of knowledge check questions).
Each set of knowledge check questions are 3 random questions from respective quiz pools.
The final quiz is the only one with weighted values that report to the LMS.
Problem...
When you click past the Module Review (use Module Review 2) and take the knowledge check questions, and then click that Module Review 2 page via the Table of Contents, the Next and Back buttons do not work and everything freezes.
This even happens when in preview mode in Captivate, and I don't even have to post to LMS.
Help, please!

I have a specific style set up (similary to body text) to dress the table of contents at 11pt. Overset text was my thought too! but its actually just an empty paragraph with a title. I've attached an image to help explain.

Showing status in Table of Contents

I am using the new Table of Contents feature in CP4 and love
the idea of tracking status/completion of topics in a single
course. I have this setting selected, but it doesn't track any of
them as completed after I've viewed them. Any suggestions? Do I
have to set some criteria for completion or something?

I am having the same problem. I love the new TOC but the
status flag feature hasn't been implemented/programmed very well. I
pause each screen with two invisible click boxes so that my users
can use left arrow and right arrow to page back/forward. The
feature would be much better if the flag turned on once the user
initially views the screen and doesn't have to wait until it's done
playing. The time I anticipate to complete a screen may be
drastically different than the actual time it takes the user to
complete it.

Clearing Table of Content status flags on file launch??

I have a trainin course with the Table of Contents feature (Captivate 4), which displays what screens the user has viewed by displaying green status flags. Our customer may have a workstation set up as a “training station”. It appears as though the status flags in the TOC is cumulative. In other words, of one student comes in, completes the training, and then another student comes in behind him to use the training, all the status flags from the previous training session are still visible. So, my question is…Is there any way to control the status flags without each user having to manually clear them using the clear button? Possibly with a variable of some sort? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there
Have you tried clicking Project > Table of Contents > Settings... and ensuring the Status Flag option is cleared?

How do I get the table of contents to toggle? I opened it while reading one book I had checked out from my library, but it is still open when I start another book. I am using Adobe 4 and Windows 8.1 on my PC.

How do I get the table of contents to toggle? It has remained open since I opened it while reading two books ago. Thanks for the help.

Thank you for your advice. I followed your directions, but came up with the same results. However, I did discover that whenever I open up the iPhoto Library that is already existing on my MacBook a certain set of pictures shows up. But then when I open up the iPhoto Library from the Hard drive another set of pictures shows up. BUT not ALL of my pictures are showing up on the iPhoto Library from the hard drive. At least the last two years of pictures are not showing up?! Actually, it appears that all the pictures are there from when I started using iPhoto about 5 years ago up until around the time that I got my iMac desktop computer and started using that (2 years ago). I have noticed that more recent videos I have made are showing up in a folder on the hard drive, but will not appear when I open up iMovie?! Any ideas on how to access my pictures from the last 2 years off of the hard drive???

I can't get the page numbers in my table of contents to update when I update the book.

I'm using Framemaker 11 and I have two TOCs in my book: one in English and one in French. Each TOC links to different documents in the same book. The reference page for each TOC is set and correctly displays the heading 1 and 2 I've told it to display, but the numbers do not update when the content in my document files changes to a different page. I've checked the conditional text settings in my document files; they are correct. When I update the book, I choose to update Numbering, All Cross-References, All Text Insets, OLE Links, Generate Table of Contents, Lists, and Indexes. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I just tested this out and saw the same result as Rick - a book with child books ignores all generated files within the child books. This applies to adding content from them (e.g. their titles) to actually including them in the output. This applies to all versions of FM since v.9!
However, there is a workaround for this. You need to use the hierarchical book structure in the parent book and create Folders for each book that you want to add. Then manually add the generated files (TOC, IX, List of..., etc.) and book to the respective folder. This is what it looks like for two child books in a parent book:
Note that the child book generated files (TOC, IOR) show as just regular files at this point in the parent book. To get the page numbering to be continuous throughout the parent book, you will need to make a couple of passes. First set folder, files and books to have the Numbering continue from the previous (if you want all sequential page numbers). This will set the page numbers correctly except for what they were in the respective book TOCs. You will need to use the starting page number of the child TOC files in each folder (it shows in the Book status bar when click on the TOC file in the master/parent book).
To set the individual book TOCs to be correct in the parent book, open the child book and set the TOC Numbering to start at the page stated in the parent book (status bar). Now update the child book to set the correct (parent book) page numbers in the child TOC. [This is a necessary manual step, as the page number assigned in the parent book is ignored when th child book is individually updated and FM uses 1 to start off the sequence in the child book.] Repeat for each child book in the master/parent book.
The final step is to Update the parent book and create the PDF. You should now have all of the files included in the PDF and the child TOCs should show the correct page numbers of the master book.
This whole process of books within books seems a bit borked and one shouldn't have to be jumping through hoops to include child generated files. Please report this as a bug via: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm

Table of Contents & Navigation

Hi, I note the Table of Contents allows navigation and navigation to completed slides only. Until my users have passed the assessment at the end of the course I want them to navigate only to those slides which they have read. The options in the TOC allow me to do this. Once having completed the course, closed it then reopened it for a review, I want them to be able to navigate to any slide. Using the default settings above this does not seem to work on the LMS, students can only navigate forward if they have once again visited a slide first, though the status flag remains checked. Is this possible? If so I would very much appreciate some tips. I am not a programmer so anything simple would be ideal.
I am using Windows 7, Captivate 6, 32GB RAM, Thanks in advance.
Lecutas

Hello,
You could try using the system variable cpLockTOC. Allow navigation, but set this variable to 1 for the slide where you want to lock the navigation. Reset to 0 (default) for the other slides. You can use the standard action Assign when entering the slide.

Acrobat Pro 9.0 freezes when viewing/scrolling through the table of contents of a document

I am hoping someone can help me or has experienced the same problem I'm about to describe. I belong to the technical publications group of a fairly large company and I review a lot of PDF documents. I just installed Acrobat 9.0.0 (via CS4 Design Standard) and I've noticed on larger documents where there's a full page or several pages worth of Table of Contents, Acrobat 9.0.0 seems to freeze up when I begin scrolling through the TOC. For example, if I want to use the Text Edit tools or use a sticky note, when I press on an icon, Acrobat will freeze for a good 10 seconds, then will allow you to press the icon. It tends to freeze each time I want to make my next edit or even pressing the up/down arrow buttons to go to the next page. Once I get through the TOC pages, Acrobat seems to function normally--no freezes.
Has anyone experienced this? Would appreciate any kind of advice on how to fix--perhaps there's a patch or update?
I didn't experience any of this using Acrobat 8.0--I never had any real problems with Acrobat until 9.0.0.

Your issue may not be related to a difference between v8 and 9.
I have not had this problem on my computers, but a coworker had this issue. For many documents that others were able to open and scroll through without issue, his computer was freezing and unfreezing. IT determined his graphics capabilities were not able to keep up with the requirements of working with larger documents and gave his computer a RAM upgrade and a new graphics card. Particularly during scrolling, higher demands are made on the computer to graphically render and re-render page content. Documents giving him problems before became a non-issue.
A new graphics card is obviously a $$$ solution, but you might want to check to see if your RAM meets the minimum requirements and check to see if there are any program updates (Help > Check for Updates).
I have had an issue of pdfs freezing, but not specifically in the table of contents areas. If your document has pages with images that have an unusually high number of layers, it may affect the ability to work effectively in the document.

Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

"Table of Contents" web part - How to have expand/collapse buttons? (I can use only CSS/JavaScript/JQuery)

Hi there,
I have a Table of Contents web part which is great. Is there a way so it shows only top level sites and then one can expand or collapse any top level site to see/hide the subsites?
As of now it shows
HR Parent site
- HR sub site 1
- HR sub site 2
IT Parent site
- IT sub site 1
- IT sub site 2
What I want is
+ HR Parent site
+ IT Parent site
So one can expand or collapse on demand.
Any relevant JS/CSS/JQuery code?
Thank you so much.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to expand or collapse the level site for the table of contents web part.
I have made a simple code demo below to achieve this scenario, you can refer to it.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
var iconCollapse = "/_layouts/images/collapse.gif";
var iconExpand = "/_layouts/images/expand.gif";
$("div[id='WebPartWPQ2'] li ul").hide();
//ugly way
var $t = $("#WebPartWPQ2 div").children("ul").children("li").children("div");
$t.each(function(){
//console.log($(this).html());
$(this).attr("style", "float: right; margin-right: 297px; line-height: 8px;");
$(this).css("display","inline");
$("<a src=" + iconExpand + "></img>").insertBefore($(this));
$("a[class='min']").click(function()
var img = $(this).children();
//Traverse the DOM to find the child UL node
var subList = $(this).siblings().children('ul');
//Check the visibility of the item and set the image
var Visibility = subList.is(":visible")?img.attr('src',iconExpand):img.attr('src',iconCollapse);
//Toggle the UL
subList.slideToggle();
</script>
Note: Yous should change the Web part ID and the css style to fit your environment.
Thanks & Regards,
Jason

Span columns problem with Table of Contents order

Hello,
I'm having a strange issue with headings that span columns and Table of contents order. My document has a heading paragraph in a coloured box, which is then inserted in-line into a 2-column text box. The paragraph style for the box (set to in-line) is set to span all columns, so that the 2-columned text doesn't get messed up.
When I create a table of contents, the Heading style that is inside the coloured box is being picked up fine, but even though it is inserted before the headings below it, it is showing up after the level 2 headings, instead of before.
I have confirmed that the insertion of the blue bar is before the text below it, as when I remove the span columns option, the TOC works as it is supposed to. Is this a bug?

Hi there, thanks for the reply.
The only way I could move the inline box to the left was to make a custom anchor and change the X value, this did not affect the TOC unfortunately. I also checked the location of the invisible marker indicating the location of the inline text box, and it is definitely before the heading that follows. I confirmed this by removing the span columns option for that paragraph, and the TOC displayed properly after doing that, meaning there is likely some problem with the span columns option not properly recognizing the order of content.
Regards,

Need help with Table of Content

Hi,
I have recently started working with Robohelp 7. I just
completed my first project working with the tool. This project has
several Topics, and each topic has sub-topic under them. When I
generated the html files, I had given the Introductory sub-topic as
the default topic.
Now after the files are generated, I cannot open any other
topic in the table of content until I expand the topic containing
the default sub-topic. This issue is basically with Firefox
browser. It seems to work well with Safari. IE anyways opens the
folder containing the default topic.
I am not sure if any other user have faced similar problems?
Would like to hear from you guys too.

Welcome to the forum
Whenever you install new software, check for updates before
starting work.
Go to Help | Updates and apply both patches.
Regenerate your help and try again. It should be OK.
