How could I integrate this jquery stylesheet switcher functionality into my webhelp output? http://hibbard.eu/using-cookies-with-jquery-to-make-a-simple-style-switcher/ I tried playing around with inserting scripts into the header file, but it seems a bit problematic. I'm not sure exactly why I have...

Sorry, I'm not sure what triggered the error. I didn't use any special characters. I'll be on the lookout the next time it happens to see if I can pinpoint the cause. I ended up repurposing the db for something else, so the error log won't be any help at this point.

With Oxygen's webhelp with feedback, somehow the comment form got messed up. It doesn't appear in the display, and I received this error: [10.246.126.56] - 2014-08-08 01:02:39: Error:[0] message:[r: Error:1064-You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL serv...

Here are a few more questions I have in using webhelp with feedback: On the first deployment, how do you specify the administrator? When you install webhelp with feedback, there isn't a field where you set the admin. By default, there is a username called "administrator" tied to the admini...

Thanks.

I did have one more question. Suppose I change a file name. When I publish the webhelp with feedback, does that register as a new topic without the comment history? Or is the topic_id that must be the same to maintain the comment history? By the way, my notes on the type of information I was looking...

Thanks for the info. Knowing that I could just create a user with all privileges to the database is helpful (rather than trying to guess whether there were special permissions in that sql statement). That is a pretty common process. Also helpful is knowing the location of that config.php file so tha...

Is there any more information for deploying Webhelp with Feedback? I'm running into issues and the help isn't helping. Issue #1: I'm installing on bluehost, not Xampp on my localhost. Are there instructions for installation on any regular web host? Issue #2: I create a database and user via phpmyadm...

Thanks. I know what I was doing wrong. I was using the topichead element as the parent element, rather than a topicref. I fixed that now.

One follow-up question. Is there any way to add a title above the child links? Would I just do this in the stylesheet using the content element?

I've forgotten how to activate the hierarchical link feature. When you have child pages under a parent, the parent page usually has links to those child pages. I think there's a parameter in Oxygen's webhelp output that I need to enable for this hierarchical linking feature, but I can't remember wha...

oops, never mind. easyDITA doesn't like <draft-comment> tags either. Never mind about this question.

Is there a way to make Oxygen use standard comment tags when adding a comment in the author view? Reason being, if you view the file with the <?oxy_comment_start? comment="sample comment"?>highlighted text ...<?oxy_comment_end?> inside easyDITA, the comment is hidden. But if you use <draft...

Awesome. I didn't even know the args.css was a parameter. That makes it very convenient. Thanks.

Thanks for the info.

I'm not sure if I have the same question, but I'm trying to get output that looks as follows: See Figure [x] for more information. [image] Figure [x] Here's my code: <p>See <xref href="#concept_lcw_fkl_q4/image1" type="fig"/> for details.</p> <fig id="image1"> <title>Ox...

Thanks, it's working now. However, I have a related issue. On the glossary entry page, after the term definition, the surface form and the abbreviated form of the term appear on the webhelp output. Is there a way to suppress them from appearing without giving them an output class that has a display ...

Is there a way to add a Glossary as a tab in the webhelp output? Just wondering.

Here's a link to the dita spec on abbreviated-form: http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os ... -form.html

Here's a link to the dita spec on abbreviated-form: http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os ... -form.html

I'm having trouble getting the abbreviated-form element working in Oxygen 16. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have a glossterm topic defined like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE glossentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Glossary//EN" "glossa...

Nevermind, I regenerated it. This time I hit the Export button about every 10 min. Worked fine. It did hang one time, but no problem since I had a recently generated css.

Thanks, but unfortunately, there isn't a style called collectedStyle that I can find. I made a little video so you can see what I see in the frm iframe: http://www.screencast.com/t/dgKBMcTEn1b

Any other ideas?

The web skin builder is pretty awesome. However, twice now after making updates to the skin for about 40 minutes, when I click the Export button, nothing happens. First time I was using Chrome; second time, Firefox. Is there a way for me to get my settings out of there apart from that Export button?...

Thanks for the info. Different customers use different versions of the product, so we have to maintain valid doc for each version. Your response answers my question. I am aware of how software teams use version control, and I guess we might follow the same pattern. Thanks,

Tom

Thanks. Your reply answers my question. By SVN, I meant to refer generically to version control systems. If there aren't any really tight integration points or nifty doc-specific features with the Syncro soft version control system and Oxygen, then maybe it makes the most sense for me to use the bui...

I think the feedback-enabled webhelp version will work great. I wasn't too familiar with that output and just followed the instructions to configure it locally on my machine to test it out. I'm impressed that you were able to incorporate this functionality and think it will work well for gathering S...

When creating DITA content with Oxygen, what's the best way to send out content for SMEs to review? PDFs that they annotate? Some kind of lite license with Oxygen so they can add <draft-comment> elements in the content? Some nifty web tool that somehow enables the ability for users to annotate conte...

I'm authoring DITA content that has a lot of versions. There are probably 20 different versions of the product. We also want to use a source control like SVN to manage the content and all the versions. Are there specific strategies I should use when versioning content? For example, should I just sto...

I'm trying to decide what SVN tool to use for my help content. I'm using OxygenXML, so my inclination is to use the SVN tool that Oxygen provides, but my company has Mercurial already set up (it's used by developers). It would be a breeze to create a new Mercurial repo for us to use. Can you tell me...

Perfect! I didn't realize the index_frames.html file was there. That provides exactly the solution I needed. Thanks for the reply.
