TOC Book & Pages icons

I am using RoboHelp7 and have imported a project from an
earlier version. I'd like to change the icon in the TOC from the
question mark to a "page" icon for a number of documents. How would
I do that? Thanks!

Hi there
When editing a skin you really only have a choice between four images.
One to represent a closed book or a collapsed area
One to represent an open book or an expanded area
One to represent a page
One to represent a link to an external web site
It's unclear as to why you are expecting to see more than a single icon for a page. If you don't wish to see the question mark icon, you need to browse to another image to select it. RoboHelp does offer a number of alternate images to choose from. You will find them in the Gallery folder where RoboHelp has been installed.
Cheers... Rick

  • Plus/minus icon for TOC books

    Afternoon all,
    So I see that in RH8, I can create a TOC. When in the RH8 application, the TOC Pod shows +/- or expand/contract icons to the left of each TOC book, with little dashed lines to each book/page.
    But when I generate WebHelp, no such +/- icons appear.
    Am I missing something? Or is the +/- just a feature of the TOC within RH8? I'd like them to display in my WebHelp output like they do in CHMs. I don't necessarily need the dashed lines.
    Any clue you can bat my way...
    Thanks,
    Patrick

  • Changing ALT and Title Tags for Book and Page  Icons

    Hi folks,
    Are you aware of any setting in Robo Help that would allow
    you to modify or even remove the ALT and titles introduced for the
    Book and and Page icons displayed on the navigation pane. I tried
    deleting it from the RoboHHRE.lng file, but still its not going
    away. Other than deleting it from the rendered files (whlstt0.htm)
    is there any other setting within RoboHelp that would do the trick.
    My idea is to remove all ALT and title attributes given to Book and
    Pages as its causing too much redundancy.
    Regards,
    Prabhat

    Hi Prabhat -
    Apologies for the delayed response: while there is no
    Robohelp checkbox for removing this, you can step into the
    generated files and remove it. This thread should provide what
    you're looking for:

  • How to sync page icon in TOC with file type of baggage file?

    all our pages are linked to baggage files (yes, we're also
    using RoboHelp for document archiving). is there any way to set up
    the skin such that the page icon in the TOC reflects the type of
    the attached baggage file? i.e., shows the acrobat icon when the
    baggage file is a .PDF, the MS Word icon when the baggage file is a
    .DOC, and so on.
    thanks much for any help/pointer

    When I have created bitmap icons in the past (used to work for a software company) I used to create them with either a icon creator tool (Axialis) or directly in photoshop.
    For color depths 24 BPP or less, the transparency is coded by using a fixed color. Each pixel that have this exact color will be converted as transparent when the image is loaded in the toolbar. Usually, the color used is green RGB(0,255,0) or magenta RGB(255,0,255). The problem of this method is that if you use a pixel of that color in your icon image (not the background), it will be converted as transparent. The other issue is the poor quality of the borders (around the icons) because it does not permit smooth transparency. In other words, a pixel is either 100% transparent or 100% opaque, there is no variable transparency. It results in "aliasing" on borders for icons with rounded shapes.
    This is an old technique so you will struggle to get the desired results but worth you having a look for "creating bmp icons with transparency" online.

  • Can I display the PDFs and Authors on my iTunes Books page as list, not icons?

    On the Books page of iTunes, the titles under PDFs and Authors display as Thumbnail icons.  Can I display them as a list of titles instead of icons?

    +"When i check the files on my computer it is still there, yet it is not in the library."+
    Putting the files on your computer does not cause them to be added to the library. To add them, use the command File > Add Folder to Library, and point it to My Music or whatever folder(s) all the music is in.

  • New TOC Book not appearing in WebHelp output

    Hi
    My project is proceeding fairly well, considering I've only
    been using RH for about six weeks - thanks, in no small part, to
    the advice I've found in this forum. I'm hoping someone can help me
    with a niggling problem I'm having.
    My project is based on a textbook written by my colleagues.
    RH has successfully imported all the header formatting from Word
    and the resulting TOC is almost perfect. My problem is that my
    header 1s link to sections of the book, so I don't have a header
    that just gives the chapter name. If I do create these as header 1s
    they give me a clickable entry in the TOC which leads to a page
    with no content.
    I'd like to have an entry in the TOC that gives the chapter
    name but which isn't clickable, i.e. is only there so users can
    orient themselves and see what each section is about.
    I thought I could do this by creating a new TOC book in the
    TOC, but not linking it to any page. I've done this, saved
    everything and generated afresh, but when I view the webhelp
    layout, the book I just created doesn't appear in the TOC. Is there
    a way I can do this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Colin

    Hi Colin.
    You may be able to do just this with a bit of wizardry! Check
    out the RoboWizard's
    tips
    'n tricks file. It has help on how to set-up redirect topics.
    Create one of these and assign it to the book. The redirect topic
    would then just redirect the user to another topic.

  • Book Mark Icon is not working?

    Hi,
    There is an Adhoc query created by the end user.The book mark icon available is not working but the CONTEXT MENU on any of the values is producing the book mark properly.Can just any one help me to find the solution of this?
    Why BOOK MARK ICON is not working?
    Please correct me if I am wrong.
    Book mark is URL we are getting after the clcking on the EIther on the ICON or context menu option.This URL can be used any where where ever is required.Right?
    But In my case the URL Content is chainging based on the Adhoc query designer.Only characterstics are again and again changing but key figures are original only.
    please help me?

    U mean to say the Book Mark URL created on one system will not work on another system right?
    =>the Book Mark URL created on one system may not work on another system right? in fact in 80% cases it works...
    But what once I execute the query in portal I will be getting an URL.This also can be used as Book mark right?
    =>yes, it can be used,,,
    but the URL generated with the function of the BOOK MARK is only called as Book mark why is it?
    => let me explain this with an example ... there is a BW server physically located in France and can be accessible across all the location wherever project is running. Somebody try to access the Query URL from Gurgaon (one of the project location)which was executed in France may not be run in Gurgaon (Page cant be displayed) because port # in the URL may be blocked in Gurgaon due to security reason,,, this case we have to contact the admin ,they will enable the port..same case i have faced

  • Split a TOC over pages: page break in a table of contents

    I'd like to be able to put a page break in a TOC. I have a TOC spans a couple of pages. The second page only has a couple of lines in it, so I want to be able to split the TOC on TOC heading 1 with a page break.
    I know that I could adjust the styles for the TOC, but this is not a general enough solution for me - it would probably not last long (add new pages, the arbitrary page break is going to move).

    This answer assumes that your document uses the Default page style for physical pages 1-3. You are going to need two different page styles to accomplish what you want. (I'm guessing you have used a page number offset of -2 to get your physical page 3 numbered as 1 and this simply will not work in the TOC.)
    Put your cursor in the Title page (physical page 1) and open the Stylist (F11). Click the Page icon (4th from left) then click the New Style From Selection icon (2nd from right). Give it a name like 'Body'. Before you close the Stylist double click on Default just to make sure you did not change the style of the 1st page.
    While you are still on the 1st page click into the footer and remove the page number field assuming you do not want it.
    Put you cursor in the FIRST (1st) paragraph of the 3rd page and do **Format > Paragraph > Text Flow tab. In the Breaks section, check the Enable box, if not already checked, then check the With Page Style box, select the Body style from the drop down menu and set the page number to 1.
    If the page number field is still in the footer on this page then delete it and insert it again. It should now show 1.
    Click into the TOC, right click and select Update Index/Table.
    Just in case you have trouble translating this to your version of SO I have fixed your document and have attached it.
    * *To change to a new page style while writing your document do Insert > Manual Break > Page Break and select the new style. If you want a new page number you can check that box and set the new number.  

  • TOC Book Not Working Properly

    Offering this info for anyone else who might run into a similar situation.  When reviewing the browse sequence for an RH 10 project, I noticed one topic (page) displaying where a TOC book should have been.  The topic being displayed was the topic associated with the book, but the book's subtopics were not being displayed.  The topic being displayed for the book included a link to a subtopic listed for the book in the RH project, but the link was dead.  The link for the topic worked fine when using the CTRL+W to view the topic from RH.  To resolve the issue, I tried deleting and re-adding the book.  Recompiled.  No change.  I repositioned the book (it happened to begin with the same few words as the two previously listed books, and I wanted to eliminate the possibilty of an issue based on beginning multiple books with the same text).  No change.  Deleted .cpd file (it was over 5MB), opened the project to recreate .cpd file, and then recompiled again.  No change. Copied and pasted text from all topics involved into new topics of the same screen name but assigned new .htm page names (so topic text and screen names were identical).  Updated links to match newly created topics.  Re-added book to TOC.  Recompiled.  This worked.  TOC book now displayed with subtopics, and link from main topic to subtopic was functional again.  Anyone else run into something like this, where a TOC book did not display correctly, possibly as a result of a corrupt topic/page within the book that appeared to work fine in RH project?

  • Webhelp RH8: TOC book not linking to topic

    Hi (again),
    I seem to have another little issue.
    In generating our helpsystem, we would like to have books that display general information when clicked and also display the subsequent topics. That all works fine, I link a topic to the TOC book and it displays the contents of the selected page.
    However, when I only have a book (no topics), linking a topic does not work. In the output it displays as a page. Is there a way I can have a book linked to a topic while there are no other topics in that book?

    Thanks RoboColum(n) for your pointer. Due to time limitations I could only look at it briefly and give it one try. Redirecting didn't work in this instance. I have a few redirect pages which work fine but so far I haven't managed to get a book to display when there is only one page in that book. For now I have avoided the problem by having an empty page when the book is clicked. Not pretty and I will be looking at this again when there is more time.

  • Best way to handle duplicate headings stemming from linked TOC book?

    What's the best way to handle duplicate topic titles stemming from TOC books that contain links to a topic that you want to have appear in the body? The problem I've had for years now is that the TOC generates one heading, and the topic itself generates one heading.This results in duplicate headings in the printed output.
    I have a large ~2500 topic project I have to print every release, and to date we've been handling it in post-build word macros, but it's not 100% effective, so we're looking to fix this issue on the source side of the fence. On some of our smaller projects, we've actually marked with the heading in the topic itself with the Online CBT and that seems to work. We're thinking of doing the same to our huge project unless there's a better way of handling this. Any suggestions?

    See the tip immediately above this link. http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/printing/rh9_printing.htm#wizard_page3
    The alternative is to remove the topic from the print layout so that it only generates by virtue of its link to the book.

  • Greek Fonts for TOC Book and Topic Titles

    Good Morning.

    I'd like to know if there is solution for this problem.
    Thanks for help.

    Hi Scottie
    What Colum proposed is the standard answer we have been giving for years and presently it's likely the best approach.
    However, Adobe does listen to their customers. And I've seen this particular issue cropping up time and again through the years. So I'm going to suggest to you that you and everyone else wanting to see some changes here consider submitting a Wish Form to ask for a new capability. Ask Adobe to devise a way to allow the user to print in the manner you are seeking.

  • TOC Book Problem - RoboHelp 8 - WebHelp Pro

    Hello, I'm having a problem in a generated build of help to RoboServer 8.  TOC books are linking to the previous page of the toc book above that particular book and this rings true throughout the TOC.  I didn't add any links and just wanted to books to be just that books and when you click the book the subtopics within that book should display.  Anyone have this problem and what can I do?  I see that I can link the book to a particular page, but don't really want that.  Any suggestions to correct this problem quickly.  We just had a release of our product over the weekend and this is causing quite a stir.  Thanks, Lana

  • Linking to TOC Books

    Greetings,
    I am using RX7 to develop a WebHelp project. My client would
    like to have Splash page which allows the user to click a link and
    display a specific TOC Book.
    I can meet the client requirement by creating separate
    projects and linking from the Splash page to the project.
    Is it possible to create a single project, have the Splash
    page display and then open a specific book when the corresponding
    link is clicked?
    Thanks,

    I suggest creating a topic that is your splash page. Then, in
    the Properties dialog of the TOC book in the TOC pod, link a topic
    to the book. Next, the link on the splash page would point to the
    topic that is linked to the book.
    If you don't want the splash page in the TOC, you could leave
    it out.
    Hope this helps,
    Ben

  • Close all TOC books

    Is it possible to add a script that closes all the TOC books
    at once? My project is getting bigger and we are getting lost in a
    sea of TOC books and pages.
    Thanks for the assistance!

    Your requirements are
    1. I need a Expand all/ Collapse all button(s) on the toolbar, which will open and close all books in the ToC. Is it possible to have one? How?
    Not something I have ever seen.
    2. Is it possible to have a different color for the visited topics on the ToC? How?
    Same answer.
