Using conref in a submap

Post by **ann.jensen** » Wed Sep 09, 2015 1:35 pm

Hi,
I have defined topic file in my root map for defining all my conrefs using <ph> elements. These are then used across the root map topics and other submap topics.
When I insert a conref in a topic title within a submap 3 map levels down I am seeing the conref value 4 times in the Maps Manager view for this topic

It was also visible in the Author view for the topic title but seems to have since disappeared again. Also it is not a problem when I generate the Web Help output for the map.

Does anyone know what may be causing this and if using a single topic file for conrefs in the root map is a good approach?
Thanks in advance,
Ann

Dear Ann,

We fixed a similar issue a couple of weeks ago related to the fact that when you used Refresh in the DITA Maps Manager and a topic was opened in the main editor, the title of the topic was getting doubled each time the refresh was invoked in the DITA Maps Manager.
But I'm not 100% sure if this is the problem in your case.
It would be great if you could take some time to prepare a small DITA project exhibiting the problem and send it to us (support@oxygenxml.com). I could test if the issue is fixed or not before we release Oxygen 17.1 (in about a month or so).

Regards,
Radu

Hi Radu,
I have just created a simple map that includes one concept topic and a topic that holds my conrefs.
When I used a conref in the title of my concept I see the same issue i.e. the conref value appears multiple times in the map view for the concept title. However, the problem goes away when I close down the map and reopen it

Map code

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE map PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Map//EN" "map.dtd">

<map>

 <title>Conref Issue Map</title>

 <mapref href="t_content_refs.dita"/>

 <topicref href="c_test_concept.dita"/>

</map>

Conref topic code

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN" "topic.dtd">

<topic id="topic_hvy_yz5_ft">

 <title>conrefs</title>

 <body>

  <p>

   <ph id="iagent">Aspen iAgent®</ph>

   <ph id="iproperty">Aspen iProperty®</ph>  

   <ph id="ilearn">Aspen iLearn™</ph>

   <ph id="ivendor">Aspen iVendor®</ph>

   <ph id="ifamily">Aspen iFamily™</ph>          

  </p>

 </body>

</topic>

Concept topic code

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE concept PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Concept//EN" "concept.dtd">

<concept id="concept_nxd_gbs_ht">

 <title><ph conref="c_conrefs.dita#topic_hvy_yz5_ft/iagent"/></title>

 <shortdesc></shortdesc>

 <conbody>

  <p></p>

 </conbody>

</concept>

Ann

Hi Ann,

Thanks for the samples.
I can confirm we had a bug in Oxygen 17.0 and that Oxygen 17.1 which will be released in about a month will no longer have this issue.

Regards,
Radu
