Hi again, thanks for the info on the incorrect translation/terminology. I have not switched to the English UI which I should have done before trying to write a text about it. :oops: Thanks also for the helpful info about baggage files and images. I moved the images, updated the search paths and now ...

Hi again, We have been working hard on making our projects more efficient using libraries and template files for recurring content and consistent formatting. The idea was to keep the icons etc. required for any snippets from the library in the respective Baggage folder. Everything seemed to work fin...

Hi H&M experts Sorry for the naive question but I'm probably failing to see the obvious. I wonder, if it is possible to create "clean HTML" output with H&M that really only contains the topic content and nothing else such as navigation, scripting, TOC references etc? If yes, how wo...

Hi there I have an issue with toggle images in V. 4.0.4 Magazine skins. Typically, toggle images should close on clicking into them again, as far as I remember. Every now and again a new export results in the open toggle images not closing again on mouse-click while ESC still works. This occurs in E...

Hi again, thanks for the reply, Tim. Now that you explained this as a valid function, the entire thing becomes more clearer, even if none of your suggestions directly matched what must have happened. I checked your suggested causes but did not find any links or related sub topics. Neither did I chan...

Hi y'all, I am just investigating a phenomenon where a CHM help lists a topic under the "Search" tab which is explicitly excluded from the TOC of the project and does not appear anywhere else in other output formats. Only the CHM output lists the page in the search index. Is this a known b...

Hi Tim thanks for the hint to not needing a skin at all which I actually lost sight although I have exported the "unskinned" HTML before partially without realizing its significance and possible benefits in this context. Sometimes looking for the complex solution does not get you anywhere....

that would require a large number of person hours

I feared that you'd say that.

Is there any additional documentation/tutorial on how to develop a skin from scratch apart from the online help chapters?

Hi again meanwhile, I think, the closest we can get is starting with the Version 8 theme "Webhelp, iFrames Responsive, Grey.hmskin" with quick resizing and auto-hiding of the TOC including a burger menu for further interaction. However, it appears in my tests that image toggles do not seem...

Hi y'all, before trying out the plethora of different themes and settings, I am trying the shortcut and ask the crowd here to find the right h&M theme to continue testing with: Our desired html-based help should be "modern", fully responsive (i.e. using the full width of the screen for...

Hi Tim,

thanks, again. Silly me, if I had properly put on my reading glasses this would probably have prevented this question. Thanks!
Now it totally makes sense.

Martin

Hi Tim, thanks for the quick reply. Since I am, by trade, not much a of a developer myself, please excuse my technically naive question here. ;-) If I understand your code-fix correctly, you are referring to a viewing on a phone only here with "if (!hmdevice.phone...)". However, the issue ...

Hi y'all, We have experimented with our PP4 Magazine-themed help and tried to directly access an individual page using a URL parameter for the context id like http://packages.dvelop-ls.de/learn/webhelp/index.html?contextid=237812817. However this initially displays the magazine tiles which then disa...

Hi Tim,

as was to be expected, this worked like a charm.

I should probably have found this myself but I was apparently to hasty scrolling through the different templates and overlooked it as well.

Thanks for the immediate help.

Regards,
Martin

Hi y'all I have localized/translated all available strings for my modern magazine skin. However, the header still displays the untranslated string "Search" (tooltipp "Search Documentation") next to the burger menu. Where do I find this string for localization? Thanks in advance. ...
