Using a topic name marker in TCS2

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to set up FM to RH converstion for the first time since TCS1. I have TCS2 with FM 9.0p255 and RH 8.0.2.208.
In my project, I'm attempting to use a topic name marker to specify the HTML filename and topic title in RH when I convert my FM files. It appeared to be working well but some in some linked topics, the topic title would be the filename rather than the title I'd specified in the FM marker. After some investigation, it seems that adding cross-references to a topic in FM breaks the topic title portion of the feature. Add the internal cross-reference in FM, update in RH, topic title = topic filename (though they are both specified in the marker). Remove the cross-reference in FM, update RH, and the filename and topic title are as expected.
Has anyone else seen this issue and may know what I'm doing wrong or have found a workaround?
I want to be able to create my TOC separately in RH rather than using the FM version. Not being able to control the topic titles is a big enough deal for me that I may have to abandon the project if I can't fix it.
Thanks for any help,
Glynnis

In case anyone else has this problem, I eventually called Adobe tech support. My issue has been identified as a bug in both TCS2 and TCS3. With any luck, they'll fix it in an update.

TCS 4 - Mapping FM chapter title to show actual chapter title as topic and not a random topic name?!

I recently upgraded from TCS 2 to TCS 4. I use it to "link" FM books to Robohelp and provide webhelp output to our tech team.
I saved my project settings from previous project and imported them into the project I was re-creating (same source book). The project generated without errors and with the correct number of files (I did experience some crashes but they did get resolved).
When I delivered the webhelp output to tech (using a version control application) we discovered some of the files had different file names.
It seems that all of the chapter title styles in my FM books are being brought over with a different name, such as with the name of the project. This issue is only for my FM chapter titles, which before were also topic titles and still are but with a different name. Because I'm linking a book, I cannot re-name the files.
In !SSL! folder my old file used to read something like this:
C:\CompanyProductName\!SSL!\WebHelp\CPN_Help\04.UG.Intro.htm
and how appears as this:
C:\CompanyProductName\!SSL!\WebHelp\CPN_Help\04.UG.Intro\Company_Product_Name.htm
In the Robohelp Project Manager, the file that you see in Topic List view appears as Company Product Name, instead of "Introduction". The correct content is there but the topic title is the project name.
It seems that the conversion settings changed slightly from TCS 2 to TCS 4 and maybe I just don't understand what I need to select. I previously selected Topic Name Pattern to be (Default). Today, I tried different options to no avail. I couldn't get my topic file names to change unless I change the topic name pattern for all the topics (I can't do that for 2000+ files!).
Attached are the settings I'm using. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Your TCS4 conversion settings window looks a bit different than my TS3. I have a menu of options for the Topic Name Pattern, but yours doesn't.
I set my H1, H2 and H3, to start a new file and to name it based on the paragraph text <$paratext>.
For your Title Chapter, select "Pagination (split into topics).
And under Topic Name Pattern name, try manually entering <$paratext> or any other combination you want for the html file title.
Alternatively,
Select Topic Name Marker and your files will take on the name of the text in the topic alias.

How to make an index in InDesign CC 2014.1 using a topics list?

Hi all,
I have read the long help document on how to make an index in InDesign CC 2014.1 using a topics list, and still can't work out what to do.
I have done a 548 page book, using a document for each chapter, and a book file to put them all together in the right order.
I now need to make an index at the back, as the author has many quotes throughout the book at the start of each chapter and section.
I have a list of those people quoted and want to upload this list and get the index feature in InDesign to find all instances of the name occurring in the entire book.
After reading the help document I still cannot work out how to do this.
My questions are:
1. Do you have to use an InDesign document as a source for the list of topics? If so, should the document be added to the book file or outside it?
It seems a bit recursive to have the list of topics in an ID document that is in the book file.
2. Once you have uploaded the topics into the Index feature, how do you get it to look for all instances of that 'topic' througout the entire book? I can't figure that out from the help documents. What do I select? Do I do it from the Index panel? Do I highlight the text in the source document? Not sure how to do this...
3. I need the names to list surname first of the quoted authors in the index. This command seems to be different between various editions of ID. For ID CC 2014.1 is it ctrl+alt+shift+]
4. To make the surname show first, what do I highlight? The topic? and then do ctrl+alt+shift+] and select find all as well? Or do I have to just go through the text and manually do this and ditch the idea of uploading topics first?
I am confused as you can see and any help with this is appreciated.

Sorry 007, I really thought you were posting a trick question as on the OCP tests.
Anyway, as Justin mentioned, if you have an index on ename, it may be used when doing a comparison predicate statement with the ename value.
What it depends on are several other things: stats, how many rows in the table, use of an index hint, etc.
Rather than questioning the group on this, why not just turn on autotrace and run the query for the different scenarios.
The output will show you if it used the index, number of rows returned, blocks read, etc.
SQL> create table emp (ename varchar2(40));
Table created.
SQL> insert into emp select username from sys.dba_users;
25 rows created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> set autotrace on
SQL> select * from emp where ename != 'SYSTEM';
Execution Plan

| Id | Operation        | Name      | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time     |

|* 1 | INDEX FULL SCAN | ENAME_IDX |    24 |   528 |     1   (0)| 00:00:01 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
   1 - filter("ENAME"<>'SYSTEM')As you can see, the above used an index, even though there were only 25 rows in the table.
You can test each of your scenarios, one by one, including use of a hint.

How can I have a topic name different than the filename of a linked Word document?

I've encountered multiple issues with linking to Word files ...here's another one: If a Word document is entitled Feature_ABC, then upon generating the HTM after linking it, the HTM's filename and topic name are both Feature_ABC. As underscores are ugly in topic names and features can be renamed, I would hope that I could rename the topic to be different than the filename.
The Help documentation suggests this is possible by editing the Topic Name Pattern in the Word Conversion Settings dialog of Project Settings. However, reagardless of the Pattern entered, every time I generate or update from the context menu of a linked Word document the topic name remains the same as the filename.
Because the topic name is shown in the Search panel and browser tabs, it will be a little ugly and may even be confusing. It is possible to edit the HTML directly, but then the HTML is overwritten each time the Word documents are update and the great advantage of using linked documents is lost.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

Thank you for your quick reply - just checked Multifox out.
It seems it still forces me to open a new window, while preventing the need for a new profile.
Why isn't it in the addons.mozilla.org ? Looks dangerous ...

How can I use a ranged comment marker to quickly define in and out range?

Hi,
I'm using several parts of a single clip, and they have overlapping in and out points. As I'll need to go back and grab them multiple times, I've defined these ranges by using a comment marker, then giving them a range by setting the in and out point in the marker panel.
What I want to do is using this defined comment marker range, right click/double click/clap twice or something that will allow a shortcut to set this marker range as an in and out range so that I can put it into my sequence's timeline.
I'm happy if I can skip the in and out all together and drag the marker to the timeline - but I tried this from the Marker panel, and it didn't work.
If this functionality doesn't exist, I'm going to have to just set a marker for every in and out point, and that's just busywork and confusing as it's not clear what's the in and the out when your'e in the middle of all the markers.
Thanks for any and all help

Premiere does not have a feature that automatically converts a marker's In/Out to function as clip In/Out points. I recommend saving a subclip for each segment of interest. The subclip becomes a new instance of the clip in the project panel, which you can give a descriptive name.
If you give this a try--and if you're using Premiere Pro CC--take a little time to learn about the "Restrict Trims to Subclip Boundaries" option, which controls whether a subclip is "hard" or "soft." http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/create-soft-subclips-with-flexible-edit-po ints/

Using a Skype name

This is bizarre. Signed in and it said that my email address - that I used to sign in with - is used by another account!
I thought that the Skype name that we use would show up in the chat window. It doesn't!
Is there a way to change this, other than to create a new acount and use the Skype name that we want to appear as our name when we register?

There's no point in doing that. Just call "Skype-to-Skype". The call will be free.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Title Bar to include Topic Name - html5

Hi
Is it possible for the Title Bar value to reflect a variable, i.e. to include the Topic Name as part of its value?
Currently it is a single value for every page produced, as set in the General Tab of the Multiscreen HTML5 Settings window.
This is apparently causing us a problem with our SEO ranking (we're using Robohelp to produce the online help for our software).
Thank you
Dan Wait

Many thanks, Willam.
I have another question, which may be a bit of a stretch!
Is it possible to insert a variable (for example 'Our Software Name - ') that is added as a prefix to the title of every html page generated (i.e. the title bar as displayed in a web browser), but not reflected in the Topic Title within the Topic List in Robohelp?
For example, say I have 2 topics, one titled 'About', and one titled 'Configuration'.
It would be ideal if the html page title as displayed in a web browser reflected 'Our software name - About' and 'Our software name - Configuration', etc.
I can see that I can add a variable within the General Tab of the Properties section of each topic, but that just seems to override the actual topic name.
Alternatively I realise I could do a Search and Replace and add 'Our software name - ' after the <title> tag for each html page within Robohelp, but that also renames the Topic Title in the Topic List to include the prefix.
I hope that makes sense.
Many thanks
Dan

How can we change Topic Names Generated after linking a document

Hi:
I linked a document and generated a topic in RoboHelp for HTML. The topics are generated with some names and i am not able to rename them after they are generated.
I tried doing this as per help
Define the topic name pattern for generated topics
When you set heading styles for pagination, the heading text is included by default in the filename of the topic file created in RoboHelp. For example, suppose you define Heading 2 for pagination. If the Word document has two Heading 2 topics, “Introduction” and “Beyond basics,” the topics are created as files named introduction.htm and beyond_basics.htm. The result is intuitively named HTML files that indicate the topic title. In addition to this default scheme, you can define more naming conventions. If, however, the Help system uses sequentially numbered files, such as helptopic001.html, helptopic002.html, and so on, you can define the pattern to support that convention.
Do one of the following:
Select File > Import > Word Document.
Select File > Link > Word Document.
Select File > Project Settings.
In the Conversion Settings dialog box, select Other Settings.
In the Other Settings tab, set the topic name pattern.
Topics are named according to the selected pattern. You can select one of the following or create a topic name pattern.
Default
Uses the topic title text as the topic filename.
<$filename_no_ext>-<$paratext>
The name of the converted HTML topic contains the following:
The name of the Word source file without its extension
Hyphen as the separator
Paragraph text used to demarcate HTML topics
For example, a Word file named “Chapter.doc” with “1-Introduction” as paragraph text is converted to an HTML topic named “Chapter-1-Introduction.”
<$filename_no_ext>-<n>
The name of the converted HTML topic contains the following:
The name of the Word source file without its extension
Hyphen as the separator
A sequential number
For example, “Chapter.doc” is converted to an HTML topic named “Chapter-1.”
<$paratext_no_num>
The name of the converted HTML topic contains the paragraph text used to demarcate the HTML topic, without numbering. For example, paragraph text “1.Introduction” is converted to an HTML topic named “Introduction.”.
<$paratext>
The name of the converted HTML topic contains the paragraph text used to demarcate the HTML topic. For example, paragraph text “Introduction” is converted into an HTML topic named “Introduction.”
But, still its doing the same. Can anybody help me .
1. How can i generate what i need .
2. or How can i rename the topics which are genrated.
When i import word document, i can rename the topics. But, when i link them. They are readonly.
Thanks
Santhosh

I verified it at my end and found that at times the "other settings" are lost if only other setting are updated but this behavior is a bit random.
I have a workaround for this issue :-
1. please link the document first
2. Open the File->project setting dialog and click Edit button for Framaker setting (this wont cause any issue as you wont be using these settings)
3. In "conversion setting" please update any "other settings" and then click OK
4. Now on the other setting for word documents will get retained and after this it will always be retained for even the new projects.
5. then OK on project setting dialog and can verify it by reoprning these settings
Hope this helps

Creating Map IDs using HTM File Name

Is it possible to create Map IDs using the File name of the HTM, instead of its Topic Title?

While Generating Map IDs, we get an ID along with a Map # for each HTM in the CSH.
For Example, I have a HTM in my CSH with the following Details:
Topic Title - Access Masks
File Name - admpr00001.htm
Now when I create a Map ID for this page. I can customise the Map ID by setting any/all of the three options: - 'Prefix Map IDs with', 'Make Uppercase' and 'Start Numbering with'. But the Map ID is generated only based on the Topic Title.
Like - ebACCESS_MASKS 1000 where, eb is the set prefix.
Is it possible for me to create a MAP ID using the File Name. In this case, as ebadmpr00001 1000?
Hope I am clear .

HT5824 why does my ipad say user name disabled, but on all other devices i can pog into itunes and icloud using my user name

why does my ipad say user name disabled but i can use my user name to log into itunes and icloud on other devices

At this time there is no "solution." You'll simply have to wait the 90 days to re-enable iTunes Match.
For now here is my suggestion. In your User Account, in OS X, sign out of whatever iTunes Store account you are signed in with. Then sign in with your store account and leave it at that. Now sign out of your OS X User Account, sign into your wife's OS X User Account and sign into the iTunes Store with her Apple ID (if necessary sign out of the account first).
Now, you can go back to your OS X User Account and attempt to enable iTunes Match. You will probably get the "wait 90 days" message. If so leave it, mark your calendar, and wait for the 90 days to expire. You can try contacting iTunes Store support at <https://expresslane.apple.com> if you wish, but I really do not know how useful that will be.
Incidentally, you get the message to pay for the service when trying to enable it on your wife's Apple ID because the service has not been purchased using that Apple ID. iTunes Match is designed to be a single-user service that is never signed out of and is associated with one, and only one, Apple ID and a regional store.

How do I use event.target.name in AS2?

Thanks to kglad I was able to see how event.target.name in AS3 could make a button load a movieclip with the same namesake.
I'm doing the same thing now in AS2 but don't know what to write instead of event.target.name.
And so at the moment each button pushes info into an array and then a function uses that to decide which movieclip to attach to a holder after it has faded out once, and then fades in again...
// ***** IMAGE GALLERY START ***** //
// Add image to holder
imgholder.attachMovie("img0", "image0_0", 1)
// Array
var nextLoad = ["img0"];
// Btn listeners
img5.onRelease = function() { trace (nextLoad); nextLoad.pop(); nextLoad.push("img5"); btnClick() } // Written on 1 line
img4.onRelease = function() { trace (nextLoad); nextLoad.pop(); nextLoad.push("img4"); btnClick() }
img3.onRelease = function() { trace (nextLoad); nextLoad.pop(); nextLoad.push("img3"); btnClick() }
img2.onRelease = function() { trace (nextLoad); nextLoad.pop(); nextLoad.push("img2"); btnClick() }
img1.onRelease = function() {
nextLoad.pop();
nextLoad.push("img1");
btnClick()
img0.onRelease = function() {
nextLoad.pop();
nextLoad.push("img0");
btnClick()
// The btn function
function btnClick() {
trace ("click");
var myImgTween:Object = new Tween(imgholder, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 1, true);
myImgTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
fadeOutImg();
// The btn function part II
function fadeOutImg() {
trace ("fadeOutImg");
imgholder.attachMovie(nextLoad, "image1_1", 1);
var myImgTween:Object = new Tween(imgholder, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 1, true);
I know I should be able to push the button name into the array, but am having to use a string... I'm sure my code is cumbersome!! But it works. I've tried pushing the button name but it end up including the full stage reference.
Is there a cleaner way of doing this using event.target.name?
Thanks for looking!

There is no event.target in AS2. However since AS2 has no way of remembering the scope object where the target object resides, you can use this to your advantage to retrieve the name of the target by using the "this" command in the function whenever you use the above format "mc.onPress = myfunc". FYI, the popular workaround Delegate, made it possible that when you called "this" in the function, you could retrieve the scope object where the target instance resides. So without its use, "this" will return the name of the target object. Anyway this is the code you can use:
imgholder.attachMovie("img0","image0_0",1);
var nextLoad = ["img0"];
img5.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img4.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img3.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img2.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img1.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img0.onRelease = onImgRelease;
function onImgRelease():Void {
   nextLoad.pop();
   nextLoad.push(this._name);
   btnClick();
// The btn function
function btnClick() {
   trace("click");
   var myImgTween:Object = new Tween(imgholder, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 1, true);
   myImgTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
      fadeOutImg();
// The btn function part II
function fadeOutImg() {
   trace("fadeOutImg");
   imgholder.attachMovie(nextLoad,"image1_1",1);
   var myImgTween:Object = new Tween(imgholder, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 1, true);

How do I get Mozilla to use the page name for the actual bookmark name instead of the URL when I bookmark a page

I just noticed this (in comparison to Internet Explorer): In IE, when you favorite a webpage, it uses the actual name of the webpage (for example, for this page, it would be "Ask a Question Firefox Help" as the bookmark name), but in Mozilla it uses the URL address as the bookmark name. I was wondering if it was at all possible to change my Mozilla settings in order to make it use the webpage name as the bookmark name instead of the URL address? I hope everyone understands what I'm getting at? If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Does this happen with each bookmark?

When I use migration assistant it won't let me use my account name that I'm signed in with. It requires me to select a different user name and then creates a separate account where my files live. Why can't I select the user name and account name I have?

I'm trying to migrate my music and pictures over to my new iMac. When I use the migration assistant it connects to my PC fine but it won't let me use the account name and username that I have created as the admin. It requires me to create a new user account - so then I have two separate accounts to log in to which i don't want. How do I get it to let me use the current account that I have to move my files to?
Thanks!

Migration Assistant creates a new account and migrates all the information you have requested to that new account. There is no way around that. However once migrated you can move the data to the account you want to. Here are some instructions for doing so:

I'm trying an email address i know is mine yet still getting this message:"That Apple ID is already in use.If this Apple ID was created by you, simply sign in with your Apple ID and password.If it does not belong to you, try again using a different name."

I keep getting this message: "That Apple ID is already in use.If this Apple ID was created by you, simply sign in with your Apple ID and password.If it does not belong to you, try again using a different name."
I'm trying to create a new id and e-mail using an e-mail address that is mine and has been mine for over a year - any ideas why this could be happening?

Trying where? What sort of email address? The following answer is based on a guess as to what you are talking about.
If you already have an @me.com address, perhaps as a result of having had a MobileMe account, and you are now setting up an iCloud account with an Apple ID you will find you will be asked to create a new @me.com address, and that you can't add your existing one because it is already an Apple ID.
You can do one of two things:
1. Sign out at System Preferences; sign in with your existing @me.com address and enable Mail.
2. Stay signed in with the present ID and add your @me.com address in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
If you have further questions, or if your situation is different from what I've assumed, do please post back, but in a suitable forum - this one is specifically about using these Forums.
