Able to change logo in Webskin, but not its hotspot

Unread post by Dave Gehman »

Webskin: Webhelp_SlateGray.hmskin

Where in PPT or other editors can I change the hotspot URL and the tooltip for the background logo? I was able to edit the original background-logo.png to turn it into our company logo.

However, the tooltip, when you hover the mouse over it, still says "EC Software Website" and clicking on it, of course, takes me to EC Software.

The PPT help shows a "Header & Footer" subgroup in the Variables sub-menu drop down - I don't have that subgroup:

Hi Dave,

In the Toolbox, click on Baggage Files.

In the list, open the HM_HEADERBOX.html file for editing.

I think the settings to which you refer are on the first line.

Edit it and Save it.

regards,

Martin.

Hi Dave,

It's in the Header & Footer variables group: HEADERLOGO_URL

Where is this "Headers & Footers variable group?"

It's not in the variables groups that are available to me. The following shows all the variable groups that are available to me in this skin:

Hi Dave,

Sorry, I thought you were referring to a V3 skin. That's a V2. The setting there is really in the headerbox baggage file, HM_HEADERBOX.html. You will find the link right at the top. It is there because this older skin design was created before Help+Manual was able to process variables in baggage files. :?

No need to be sorry - clearly, I had no idea what I was referring to. Absent Martin, I wouldn't have known the versioning. I chose the skin based on the visual - the thumbnail - without paying attention to which folder (V2 or V3) held the skin.

Now I know that V2 and V3 skins have essentially different configuration methodologies - and that I have to pay attention to source folders. The future will be smoother. :D
