TOC location

hello
I was wondering if one can put the TOC this way with captivate 5, it goes either the left or the right of the project
Thanks for feedback
xav

Hello,
Besides the Help, I do not see immediately other documentation. Once there was a blog post on the official Captivate blog about localising the labels in the TOC, but that was still for CP4 (works for CP5) as well.

  • Topics in multiple places in the TOC

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if it is possible to insert a topic more than
    once in the Table of Contents? This is probably a strange request,
    but the problem has occurred because I have imported a manual
    written in Word, but part of it contains information already in my
    RoboHelp project. I was wondering if I could erase the duplicate
    information in favour of linking to what was already there?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    Cheers,
    darkagn

    Peter's right: the TOC will get synchronized with the first
    instance (top to bottom) that it encounters. However, you can use
    redirect pages to get around this.
    1. Create a new topic (and name it
    target_topic_name_redirect.htm as a visual cue for yourself). Make
    the Title the same as the target topic's title (which is the name
    that will appear in the TOC).
    2. Remove all text from the topic in WYSIWYG mode (leaving a
    blank page).
    3. In TrueCode, add this line to the other META tags (in any
    spot).
    <meta http-equiv=refresh
    content="0;URL=directory_path/target_topic_name.htm ">
    4. Drag and drop the redirect page to the desired TOC
    location.
    Hint: The 0 (zero) is the duration time (none) that this
    topic will display before redirecting to the target topic. If you
    prefer to make this redirect available to the viewer, you can
    increase it to, say, 8 or 10, and provide some text such as
    "Retrieving this topic from the 'Configuration' section. Please
    wait a moment."
    Good luck,

  • Oracle Help for the Web 2.0 Production

    Oracle Help for the Web 2.0 is now available on OTN Downloads.
    Oracle Help for the Web (OHW) 2.0 is a major update to the previous releases OHW 1.1x and OHW 1.0.x, and is designed and recommended to replace both.
    Some of the new features in 2.0 include the following:
    Support for Bookmarking Navigator Pages
    OHW 2.0 no longer uses frames to store navigational state on the webpage. Each navigator stores its complete state on the URL, allowing each page to be bookmarked. This includes TOC locations, keyword locations, and search runs. In the view topic page, the frame information is also saved, allowing a user to forward the link via email, etc to the displayed topic. In addition, if you navigate to a named anchor within a topic page, this page position is also saved and is bookmarkable.
    Multiple Locale Support in a Single Instance
    OHW 2.0 can now support multiple locales in the same servlet instance. After you register the helpsets in the OHW configuration file, the OHW servlet will automatically determine the best locale to use for a user request (based on browser settings and what locales are available), and display the localized helpset (along with a localized OHW chrome) to the user. This feature also means that if you navigate to a topic in English, and then send the link via email to a user whose browser supports Japanese, if the Japanese helpset is registered, the topic link will appear in Japanese to the second user.
    Search Engine Support
    OHW has been specially designed so that search engine crawlers can reach all hosted content (including table of contents, and index pages) and easily traverse within and between the available navigators. Page titles have also been redesigned to make pages easier to locate from within a search engine result set.
    Ability to Share Resources Across Localized Helpsets
    OHW can be configured so that helpsets can share resources such as images and CSS stylesheets. Since each localized helpset no longer needs its own resources, this can dramatically reduce the size of the deployed file.
    Relative Content Locations
    Content locations can now be specified relative to the OHW configuration file.
    True Popup Support
    OHW now properly supports Oracle Help popup links. Following this link will bring up a dynamic draggable DHTML window (or a normal popup window if the browser does not support it) with the requested topic page.
    All Level Merging in the Table of Contents
    Using the default TOC engines, each level of the TOC will merge like elements together. This change reflects modifications made to core Oracle Help classes and mimics the feature added to Oracle Help for Java (OHJ).
    New Tree-based Table of Contents Navigator
    The Tree-based TOC navigator shows the data in a heirarchical fashion and allows the user to see the full TOC (and not just a limited part of the TOC, as with previous versions of OHW). The tree-based TOC navigator is a standard navigator and can be added by including it in the helpset configuration file.

    Yes, I am now able to access this page and download OHW.
    Thanks very much,
    Lucie

  • Why is the left hand window and bar with the buttons for TOC/Search/Glossary not displaying in one client location?

    Greetings all:
    I have more years of experience with RoboHelp than I want to admit, but I have never run into this before. I have a published RoboHelp 9 project for an overseas client that displays exactly as it should when the published version is viewed by myself or another RoboHelp developer (not located where I am). However; the users at 1 of 2 two client sites do not see the left hand TOC window or the bar above the project with the buttons (the other site does see it). The users at both sites are using Internet Explorer 9, and I have been told there is no difference in their security set-up. I suspect that at the site where it is not displaying there is a security setting that is throwing it off, but I am not sure what to have them look for. Anyone have any ideas?
    W. Keith

    Do they not simply see the bar or is it empty? In the first situation, it seems they are opening the topic directly instead of via the start file.
    What is the URL the users are using on both the locations? And do the users have a hyperlink 'Show' at the top of the topics?
    Kind regards,
    Willam

  • Can I change the location of the TOC file?

    Hi,
    In Robohelp (I have RH HTML v.8.02.208), it is easy enough to add a table of contents to a project; however, it seems that a RH TOC can only exist in the root directory. Is there a way around this?
    My motivation stems from some autogenerated material (using Doxygen) that I add to one of my Robohelp projects. Because I would like to separate this Doxygen material from other files in the Robohelp project, I want to generate it to a subfolder "Doxy". I would like to use the Doxygen-generated HHC file in my project's TOC using the Insert TOC Placeholder, but this feature only accesses HHC files found in the root folder. If I were to move the HHC file from 'Doxy' to the root folder then I would also have to move all the HTMLs along with it to avoid breaking links...then I am stuck with the messy root folder I was trying to avoid.  

    To be honest software development is a numbers game. Adobe are no different in this respect. If they have time to code two bug fixes but one has been reported once and the other ten times, guess which one gets fixed? By reporting bugs and asking for feature requests there can be no guarentee of getting it fixed or implemented. This is why I always encourage people to report bugs and feature requests. The more people that do, the greater chance there is that they are dealt with. I have seen many bugs fixed and feature requests added that I have reported so it is definitely worth doing. As for when another RoboHelp release will be, only Adobe can answer that.

  • Managing the Help Screen display location and TOC frame width

    Is there any way I can set how the Help is displayed when it first opens?  I want to force it that the TOC frame is a certain width so the text is displayed properly always in the same way.

  • Trigger Between two DB located on different Server

    Hi Everyone,
    According to my project requirement I need your help to create a trigger on one table employee of my 10g DB located on server 172.128.1.62, which will trigger for any Delete, Update and Insert and update the same on its duplicate table located on different server(172.128.1.201).
    Eg:
    Table EMPLOYEE (on 172.128.1.62) refer as A
    SrNo        E_Name      Salary
    1             Fizzz           5000
    2             Albert        8000
    3             John          6500
    Table EMPLOYEE (on 172.128.1.201) refer as B
    SrNo        E_Name      Salary
    1             Fizzz           5000
    2             Albert        8000
    3             John          6500
    Now If I update table A and change salary of John from 6500 to 7000 and delete Employee Fizzz from table A
    Then I need a trigger to get fired and update the same in table B
    After table A updated table B should look like:
    Table EMPLOYEE (on 172.128.1.201) refer as B
    SrNo        E_Name      Salary
    1             Albert        8000
    2             John          7000
    I already scratch my head but did not find anything, Now this is became very critical requirement, Please somebody help me to achieve this task.
    Thank you very much,
    Fizzz. Edited by: Fizzz on Sep 22, 2011 4:36 PM

    I would not consider doing it myself with triggers. It will practically be guaranteed that at some point in time your data in B will by out of sync with A.
    There are several methods of doing replication. At least two technologies can be chosen from:
    [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10706/toc.htm]Advanced replication
    [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10705/toc.htm]Streams replication
    Both can be setup in various ways ranging from simple two-database one-way replication that refreshes periodically (for example a fast refreshable materialized view) to multi-database multi-way replication of complete schemas.
    We have had success with relatively simple materialized views for one-way replication of tables from one database to another. Read chapter 3 in the Advanced replication guide ;-)

  • 4.2.2 upgrade from 4.1 and images location issue

    I've just upgraded from 4.1 to 4.2.2, and am having an issue with the referenced location of the images directory (/i/) resources. I am running apex listener on weblogic server, and have copied the new images into the i.war that I use. I have an unusual reverse proxy situation where my base URL includes a path, i.e., https://www.my.website.com/mysite/ is the URL that the proxy returns to the user, so my APEX addresses look like https://www.my.website.com/mysite/apex/f?101:1:::::, and my image directory references get put together like https://www.my.website.com/mysite/i/image.jpg.
    However, with the upgrade, one of the things that popped up was all of the datepickers in my application were changed to classic datepickers, which worked and displayed fine. When I change them to the new datepicker, the small calendar image doesn't show next to the field (red x), and when I look at the properties of the image, it's URL is https://www.mywebsite.com/i/asfdcldr.gif (no "/mysite/" path offset). ALL of the other images directory references seem fine, but not this. Has 4.2.2 changed how it composed the #HOST# when it's generating these new controls (same result when I make a datepicker from scratch)? Why do all of my other images directory references work? The only other problem that I'm seeing is that my charts no longer work, either. I used to have to hardcode my URL into the XML of the charts for them to work, but I don't see the URL referenced in the code anymore. Not sure if that's related, but that has always been an issue with my reverse proxy situation (I don't control the proxy server).
    Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed on this,

    With APEX 4.2, we've changed how charts are initialized to be JavaScript only, and as part of the changes, we no longer expose the region source for charts. See *4.8 Updated AnyChart Flash Charts* in the APEX 4.2 Release Notes, here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35121/toc.htm#CACEJBCD. So it's no longer feasible to hardcode a reference to your URL in the region source for a chart. If you have a reverse proxy, the CGI environment variables REQUEST_PROTOCOL, HTTP_HOST, SERVER_PORT, and SCRIPT_NAME, have to be correctly set to the public facing web server and not to the internal forwarding connection. If you execute the following query in SQL Workshop on your APEX instance, do you see the settings for the public facing web server?
    select owa_util.get_cgi_env('REQUEST_PROTOCOL'), owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_HOST'), owa_util.get_cgi_env('SERVER_PORT'), owa_util.get_cgi_env('SCRIPT_NAME') from dual;Regards,

  • How can I alt tag the TOC button that appears at the top of the menu?

    Running the current version of Cp7 on a windows 7 machine.
    A 508 hang up once again: The customer insists on an active TOC for the project file. We've activated the TOC and it works fine, but there's a secondary TOC expand/collapse button located at the top of the slide right here:
    Although I can change the icon for the expand/collapse TOC in the TOC setting menu:
    I can't put an alt tag on the button, meaning that JAWS and other screen readers just reads it as an unnamed button - which would be "bad" if you're trying to pass a 508 compliance test - which I am. I know alt tags don't travel with the image file, and I can't find any way to access the file in Captivate to give it an accessibility name. Anybody have a workaround?
    Justenuf

    You can replace the current image with one of your own choosing.  But even if you make the replacement just a one pixel GIF, I think it will still register somewhere in the screenreader as a button. 
    However, to be fair to Captivate, you can use the TOC button on the playbar to activate the TOC if need be, or you can set up on screen buttons to do that.
    Personally, I wouldn't be using an overlay TOC at all.  I'd be trying for a Separate TOC so that it was available all the time.
    However, I had read somewhere on this forum (a year or so back) about someone else finding that the links on the TOC itself were not completely 508 compliant.  So maybe you're just chasing your tail here if you're trying to achieve perfect 508 compliance.

  • RHS9 & RH8/Clicking links to topics more than 3 "deep" in the TOC does not open the TOC

    Our IT department recently purchased and installed RoboHelp Server 9. I am publishing two RoboHelp 8 projects to the server using WebHelp Pro output. When I view the projects, I am able to navigate the table of contents without issues, but if I click on a link in a topic that links to another topic that is 3 or more "deep" in the table of contents, the topic will display in the main window but not open its location in the TOC. I am able to navigate the topic in the TOC myself and view it without a problem.
    The behavior we expect when clicking on a link to a topic that has an entry in the TOC is that the TOC will open and highlight the topic as well as open it in the main window. We need this functionality because we use a "recent updates" page and would like our staff to see where a topic is located in the TOC after they click the link to the topic.
    This behavior does not occur with items two levels deep in the TOC or with our current WebHelp output. Using our smaller, 600 topic project, we tried removing all TOC books except for one that went 3 levels deep and then tried to duplicate the behavior - but it worked fine. So, we suspect that it is an issue with RoboHelp Server and the number of topics/TOC entries we have. (Roughly 600 in one project and 1500 in another)
    We have attempted the Adobe fix described here: http://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/kb/books-topics-missing-toc-webhelp.html which results in the same behavior, as well as some new behavior when attempting to access items 3 or more deep in the TOC - the message, "Loading, click here to cancel..." displays and the topic will not load. (Similar to this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4116269#4116269) We've since reinstalled the server, republished the projects and we're back to square one.
    Any thoughts on this behavior? We're at a loss at this point.

    Hi there
    Often, when this issue arises with regular WebHelp, I will advise the following change. Perhaps it will help with WebHelp Pro, I'm not sure. But it's worth trying to see.
    In the Single Source Layout properties for WebHelp, look in the Navigation section and change the Speed Optimization.
    I just checked my WebHelp Pro and really don't see anything similar that jumps out at me for this setting, so I'm guessing the suggestions in that link are possibly a way of doing that.
    Cheers... Rick

  • OHW Top-Level entry in tree-based TOC navigator

    Hi Team,
    Is it possible to specify the text string in the "Top Level" location? We would prefer to have our product name rather than the words "Top Level".
    We are combining multiple helpsets through a master helpset file. The <title> string from each subhelpset establishes the second-level TOC entries. Our html <title>s establish the rest of the TOC entries.
    We are using:
    <parameters>
    <combineBooks>false</combineBooks>
    <useLabelInfo>true</useLabelInfo>
    </parameters>

    Currently, there is no mechanism to change the text for the "Top Level" node.
    One thing we might do for the future would allow users to specify their own resource bundles for OHW UI, or provide some means for untranslated text to be displayed for this.

  • Here's How to change the image on the TOC to be different for each chapter.

    Suppose you don't follow the Very Strict default Rule that you use the exact same image parameters (shape, pixels, size, etc.) for your Table of Contents image entry as you use for its associated Chapter, a requirement built in to iBooks Author that applies universally to ALL Chapters under the One Image Size and Location is Best For Everyone rule. Suppose you start adding chapters and messing with each chapter's image and then, later, it occurs to you to get the TOC all set up and when you go there you encounter a mess. Either by chance one of the images you had in one of your chapters found its way to the TOC and, gosh, now every TOC entry for every chapter has the very same exact size and location image! This is not part of your grand plan and then... how to make lemonade here? It's Not Obvious.
    You can resolve this in your favor. You must do this patiently.
    First, whatever image size is created in any chapter TOC window—by dragging the image placeholder handle re-size box—will apply to ALL image entries (i.e., chapter image entries) in the TOC . If you want maximum flexibility make the image placeholder box big. Hint: you may need to mess with the Edit Mask option in order to get the image placeholder size box in the size and location you want. An option here in preparing your images is to **** with Photoshop or Preview to really engineer the images that will be used for the Chapter Page and, separately, the TOC / these could be the same content images but formatted differently in order to look nice in their respective locations. The Chapter Page image can be manipulated on the Chapter Page. On the other hand, the TOC image must fit within whatever (universal) size you've created.
    Plan ahead
    Get your TOC images ready.
    Loop until done:
    a) from the Finder menu, right click on the filename of the image to be put in the TOC / select the menu item “Copy”..this image. This puts the image in the clipboard. Another way to get the image in the clipboard is to pull it up with Preview and pretend to crop it (full size) then command-C. Another way: just click on it if it is in a file somewhere and again command-C.
    b) Click on the Table of Contents option (near the top of the left navigation column in ibooks Author ) and navigate to the TOC chapter for this image by clicking on the correct chapter “button” (a white dot in a black background surrounded by a white rounded-corner box) in the center bottom of the TOC chapter window;
    c) Click on the image placeholder in this chapter TOC window to reveal the highlight boxes defining the boundary of the image;
    d)command-V (paste); Voila! the image is in the TOC. NOTE: dragging the image into the highlighted imagebox (see c) above) will NOT work.
    e) mess with the image by clicking the mask editor button so the image fits as desired being careful to move the image only and not resize the image box.
    Go back to loop and repeat.

    Finally, after a while, I finally found all the procedure explained,
    for those who need:

  • TOC  and hyperlinks in PDF

    CS3 (5.0.4) on Mac 10.5.7 (Leopard)
    When I generate a TOC, if i select the "Create PDF bookmarks" option, the entries also create hyperlinks to the location within the PDF.
    In the PDF, if I click on the TOC entry, it jumps to the page where the entry starts.
    All well and good.
    Where I am confused is the Hyperlinks panel in InDesign.
    These hyperlinks do not show up in the panel.
    However, if I select the text in the TOC and choose "Hyperlink Options..." in the Hyperlink panel, it gives me the options for that link, including a weird name, such as .7890 that I assume is auto-generated.
    So it seems that there is a hyperlink there, I just don't see it in the panel.
    (I do however, see a list of bookmarks in that panel.)
    If I create a TOC where the "create PDF bookmarks" is not checked, it still seems to create hyperlinks, they just aren't active, or they don' t have a destination(?). If I select text in the TOC and choose "Hyperlink options..." it shows me the options (the hyperlink type shows up as "All Types"). Furthermore, I can't select the text and choose "New hyperlink" which indicates to me that there is already a hyperlink there.
    Can someone explain to me how the creation of hyperlinks/bookmarks from a TOC is working and if I can make the auto-generated hyperlinks appear in the hyperlinks panel?
    I've read through the sections in Help and in RealWorld InDesign CS3.
    Thanks!

    No, is not at all a problem related to maintaining forms.
    All the contrary.
    Please be kind and read again the post, is a problem with links, with the integrity of the file, with anomalies in behavior, just with many things far beyond the user that can not be reduced to that known resource:

  • Bold text in toc won't display

    Hi Peter
    The formatting in LOF is applied by selecting the text on the body page and formatting the paragraph tag for the text to be bold. In the TOC it is formatted by doing the same on the reference page.
    I haven't produced any form of output yet so I do not know how it is displayed. The program crashes when i want to update the book so I need to look into that first.
    I will try your suggestions.

    Hi, Pieter:
    You might not think that the different steps you're using to format the generated entries would cause the difference, FrameMaker can have good reason for working differently.
    Is there a reason for not formatting the prototype line in the LOF on the reference page, rather than on the body page - the same method you use for the TOC?
    When working with FrameMaker's generated files, you need to be keenly aware of which file you're working with. I don't have FrameMaker available at the moment, but I believe it works something like this (it may have changed from older FrameMaker versions to newer ones:)
    * When you create a new generated file FrameMaker creates the generated file's reference page and the corresponding reference page text flow; they are named for the kind of generated file, such as TOC, LOF, etc.
    * I think the location of the reference page and its flow depend on whether you're generating from a stand-alone file, or from a file that belongs to a book. The reference page and flow may be created in the generated file, or in the source file, but not in both.
    * In later FrameMaker versions, I believe the book file is more involved with the processing than in earlier versions. In the more-recent versions, I believe that the output of generated files is taken from the generated-file reference pages and flows in the first file in the book list.
    * If there is a generated reference page and its flow in the source file, and also in the generated file, there's a possible precedence conflict over which settings control the output of the generated file. Formatting properties set in the higher-precedence file will be applied, and those in the lower-precedence file will be ignored.
    Because the TOC is working correctly, follow the same procedure for the LOF. Verify that there reference page and flow are in the same file that works for the TOC - if the TOC reference page is in the TOC itself, then verify that the LOF reference page is in the LOF file, and verify that there's no LOF reference page in any of the source files in your book. If the TOC reference page is in the first file in the book and not in the TOC, then create the LOF the same way.

  • TOC links in Adobe Acrobat 8

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a linked TOC from a MS Word document to be converted in to PDF.
    When I convert the document in PDF, I am unable to get the TOC headings linked to the appropriate pages, although the page numbers are hyperlinked. I want the TOC headings to be hyperlinked instead of just the page numbers.
    One of my peers is able to do this with Adobe Acrobat 6.
    Is it possible to accomplish this with Acrobat 8 version.
    Thank you.
    Sumant

    Use PDF Maker and do not print to the Adobe PDF printer. Be careful that you have the Adobe PDF printer selected before finalizing the links, or your document may reflow in WORD and the links turn out to the wrong location.
