Help & Manual Forums

Another thought...we build our files to the web as asp file (with a .asp extension). Would that have an affect?

I tried as you suggested and it worked when dealing with other websites (such as Help&Manual or Google), but it didn't work when I tried to use our site, which is behind a secure server. So it wouldn't work when I changed it to an "https" or an "http" address. So maybe we'll ...

I'm having trouble creating a link out to a website for one of the User-defined jumps in the HTML configuration. For this example, I used googled, as shown below: mnendictjump2.png But when I test it and publish the CHM file to my desktop, then click that User-Defined link (in this case it's called ...

Thank you greatly, Tim!

Nevermind. I found a work around. I copied all the asp files into a new folder on my desktop, and then I manually changed the extension on each one from "file.asp" to "file.html". Then I had Help&Manual convert the files in that folder. It's not perfect, but at least I don't ...

I need to convert some asp files into Help&Manual. It looks like the only option H&M has for that is to convert regular HTML and text files, not asp files. Is there anything in the works to fix that? I'll google a work around until I hear back from you.

Duh. I know this. I guess I was hoping for something else. We publish our manuals to a testing server before moving them to a live site. Since the link goes out to the live site and not the testing server, I sometimes want to check my work to make sure I am doing it right. But since it's linking to ...

I was wondering how I might link the PDFs to open the PDFs in a new window. Currently, when our users click the link, the PDF opens within the same window. (See Figure A below.) I want it to open in a new browser window by itself (a "_blank" link). Figure B below shows how I currently have...

Nevermind. We figured it out. We had a weird piece of code in there. We placed this code at the top:

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>

Once I took it out, it all worked fine.

Note: It may help to understand our situation. We made the horrible decision to put all our documentation in Dreamweaver. We've been slowly trying to move all our content over to Help&Manual a manual at a time (loans, deposits, user's guides, etc.), but we have thousands of pages of content and ...

So I've been trying to publish with aspx, and it looks like it works until it gets out to our live site. And then we are thrown for a loop. What happens is that someone puts in their user name and log in, logs onto our documentation site. Then clicks a link in the navigation that takes them to one o...

We have a work around for that problem. All our files are built with H&M and then we use Dreamweaver to check in our files from our personal computers to a remote server. The reason we do this is because we started out with Dreamweaver and have been slowly but surely migrating over to H&M-ge...

Thanks, Tim. I will email you because I can't remember where we put those files. And I will also purchase the new skins once you get that blinking feature back in... :D With Trump a hope for our new president, we may all have billions to throw around. :vconfused: (Totally inappropriate political jok...

We are using the skins from Premium Pack 2.15 / CHM Skins (the date mark is 11/21/2012), but then we do a little tweaking with the logo, colors, etc. So I'm a little concerned that we will have to do this anytime a new premium pack comes out or a new version of Help&Manual?

Thanks for this. I work in a team of 6. (Valene, who commented above, is on my team. Hi, Valene!) Do we all need to purchase the skin copy for all of us? I know it's quite easy to save them to a place on our network, and I don't want to cheat you out of your money. So just give it to me straight: sh...
