Premium Pack 2.01 Maintenance update

Unread post by Tim Green »

A small maintenance update to Premium Pack 2 has just been released with implementation of changes responding to feedback from users. All the changes are in the WebHelp skins only. You can download the update with the same link you received to get the original version. Your installation password also remains the same.

Changelog Premium Pack 2.01 WebHelp Skins

Automatic redirect of web links
By default, web links in topic pages automatically open in a new window. You can now turn this off with the new WEBLINK_NEWPAGE configuration variable. If you set this to false web links will open inside the web help or in a new page depending on the configuration of the link in the Help & Manual editor.

Tab menu background in Baby Blue skin
The graphical gradient background of the drop-down tab menu tab was not displayed in Google Chrome.

Close Permalink dialog by clicking outside dialog
The Permalink dialog box now closes automatically if you click anywhere outside it or on a new tab.

Disabling Index and Search tabs
If the Index or Search options for WebHelp were disabled in the skins Navigation options you got a "404 - file not found" error in the Index or Search tabs. These tabs are now disabled and hidden if the Index or Search tabs are disabled, along with the corresponding tools in the toolbar.

Option to set initial width of the Contents pane
You can now set the initial width of the Contents pane in pixels with the new NAVPANE_WIDTH configuration variable.

Variable for "Current Topic" text in the tabs menu
You can now change the "Current Topic" text displayed for the main browsing topic in the drop-down tabs menu at the left of the tab bar above the topic pane with the new TABTEXT_CURRTOPIC configuration variable.

Transparent border in image light boxes
When toggle images were displayed in light boxes the border of the light box was transparent and the caption font was not formatted correctly.

Toolbar scrunching in Firefox on Apple Mac and Linux computers
Icons in the toolbar were offset incorrectly onto a second line when WebHelp was displayed in Firefox on some Apple Mac and Linux computers.

Topic title shortening in tabs
Topic titles need to be shortened in tabs to prevent the tabs from being too wide. The shortening algorithm has now been updated so that the titles are only shortened at word boundaries. If more than 5 characters must be added to the maximum title length for tabs the title will be shortened at the previous word. In addition to this, the titles in the drop-down tab menu at the left of the tab menu bar can now be up to 60 characters long.

Mouseover hint with topic title in main tab
The main browsing tab at the left of the tab bar now has its full title in a mouseover hint. The other tabs have a "Double-click to undock" hint.
