Ditaval file must be in or below ditamap directory

[amyers3]

Hi,

I am using webhelp responsive with feedback transformation on Editor 21.0.

My ditaval files are one directory above my ditamap. I am getting this error even though I have the copy outer param set to 3.

Reference to resource outside of main DITA map folder may produce potential publishing problems.

And, indeed it does. The transformation creates the directory that contains the ditaval_webhelp directory and puts all of the output files in there. This breaks most of the links from the TOC. Is there a way to address this issue without moving my ditaval_webhelp directory? I would rather keep my source files separate from my build files.

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam,

If you edit the Oxygen transformation scenario you are using for publishing in the Parameters list there is a parameter called "fix.external.refs" which you can set to "yes". But this will work only when publishing from Oxygen.
Otherwise you will need to have the root DITA Map above the ditaval file in the folders hierarchy:
