I have built HTML by using Webhelp template -> Responsive Blue, Keywordslist template and have 2 questions:
- How to change H&M logo in the left-upper corner?
- If I build the project using CMD, CSS seems to be missing. The build syntax is the following: "C:\Program Files (x86)\EC Software\HelpAndManual7\HELPMAN.EXE" D:\GiT\vtime\doc\Help\EN\USM-vTime-EN.hmxp /PDF="D:\GiT\vtime\doc\Help\EN\USM-vTime-EN.pdf" /V="D:\GiT\vtime\doc\Help\var.txt"

Re: Webhelp build issues
Hi Uroš,
You can change the logo in that skin by replacing the company-logo.png file in the baggage section of the skin with your own logo file of the same name. Or you can add your own file with its own name to the baggage and change the name of reference with the configuration variable in the skin:

- Open the .hmskin file in Help+Manual
- To add a file to the baggage select Project Files > Baggage Files > Baggage in the Project Explorer on the left, then select Add File in the Project tab. The file name must NOT contain any spaces or special characters. It won't work if it does!
- In the Project Explorer go to Configuration > Common Properties > Text Variables to find the configuration variables for the skin. There you can change the name of the logo file to be used and also configure the hyperlink that gets executed when the user clicks on the logo. There are also plenty of other settings there.

Re: Webhelp build issues
Logo change worked like a charm.
What about the second issue?
- If I build the project using CMD, CSS seems to be missing.
The build syntax is the following: "C:\Program Files (x86)\EC Software\HelpAndManual7\HELPMAN.EXE" D:\GiT\vtime\doc\Help\EN\USM-vTime-EN.hmxp /PDF="D:\GiT\vtime\doc\Help\EN\USM-vTime-EN.pdf" /V="D:\GiT\vtime\doc\Help\var.txt"

Re: Webhelp build issues
You are not generating WebHelp at all there. That is a command line for PDF, which does not use CSS at all... For WebHelp you would need something like this, and you should always also include the /I= switch with the output format you are publishing to as the first value:uRko wrote:If I build the project using CMD, CSS seems to be missing.

Code: Select all
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EC Software\HelpAndManual7\HELPMAN.EXE" D:\GiT\vtime\doc\Help\EN\USM-vTime-EN.hmxp /HTML="D:\GiT\vtime\doc\WebHelp\EN\index.html" /I=HTML /V="D:\GiT\vtime\doc\Help\var.txt"

Re: Webhelp build issues
I have copied the wrong line since I also have PDF build. The right one is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EC Software\HelpAndManual7\HELPMAN.EXE" D:\GiT\vtime\doc\Help\EN\USM-vTime-EN.hmxp /HTML="D:\GiT\vtime\doc\Help\EN\HTML\index.html" /V="D:\GiT\vtime\doc\Help\var.txt"
So if I build webhelp using CMD file, some files are missing. Check att. where I compare folders.
Build console also is without errors...

Re: Webhelp build issues
Hi Uroš,
You forgot the reference for the skin in your command line. You apply it with the /O= switch. (The missing files are all skin components.)

Re: Webhelp build issues
I have applied /O switch but still the same result. I have attached the debug window for additional info...

Re: Webhelp build issues
First try with an original copy of the unmodified skin to make sure that there is not something in the skin causing the problem. If D is an external or network drive publish to a local drive instead. The folder should be inside your own documents directory to ensure that you have full access permissions.
If you continue to have issues please mail a small demo project, your skin and the command line you are using to support AT ec-software.com (replace the AT with @) and we will check it for you.
