Re: webhelp with feedback needs parameter option

Okay, but the current design for this output is problematic. If I change the TOC, add some style to my skin file, or do anything else other than just update text in a topic, I have to reupload the oxygen-webhelp folder. This folder contains a blank config.php file that overwrites my existing configu...

If you have a fix for this, let me know. I have about 20 people who will be reviewing documentation on Monday and I've told them to comment anonymously, without logging in.

Re: Remove br tags around images with webhelp output?

I'm wondering if there's a fix for this. It looks pretty bad in my output and I'm not quite sure how to fix it. I tried adding display:none for my br tags, but it messes with other elements, such as related links.

Re: Make Oxygen webhelp load faster

The speed issue is killing me. Sometimes it takes 3 seconds for a basic page to load. Given that there's no database query here, I can't imagine where the latency is. This issue a huge priority for me to get fixed. Thanks.

I have oxygen webhelp with feedback integrated. When a user signs up for an account in order to comment, an email validation is sent. However, when the user clicks the link in the validation email, it goes to a blank page. Here's a sample validation link: http://mysite.com/sampleproject/oxygen-webhe...

I'm glad it's not happening for you. Here's what I think is going on. I'm on a Mac with Chrome. I test set up all my build outputs directly to the built-in webserver directory for the Mac.

Sometimes topic content doesn't appear

This is kind of a strange issue, but with the webhelp output, sometimes the content of a topic doesn't appear when I go to the topic. Or it briefly appears and then disappears. I have to drag the horizontal slider (what separates the TOC pane from the main content pane) a little bit left or right to...

For the webhelp output, can you add a "fixed width" parameter that allows me to specify a max width, something like 800px? I really hate it how the liquid layout takes up the entire screen (on my 21 inch Mac Thunderbolt display, seeing one line stretch 2 feet long is really lame) doesn't f...

Remove br tags around images with webhelp output?

When you include an image in a webhelp file, the output puts two br tags before and after the image, like this: http://www.screencast.com/t/dxR4IbnKTB As a result, I have a lot of excess white space around the image. Why is the webhelp plugin adding all of these br tags in there? This is poor practi...

I realize that the keyref does resolve, but for some reason the keyref name appears before it. Maybe I can just add a display:none to whatever is styling the [versionx] part?

Re: Understanding conditional filtering

I'm not exactly sure. Sometimes I make a change, and then later when I'm doing my transforms I realize that they aren't filtering. I would need to experiment more to see what triggers the selector to drop. At any rate, I switched to using ditaval files instead.
