Webhelp: No title to click on in search result

boater · Fri Dec 04, 2015 4:22 pm

I just upgraded to Developer 17.1 and a DITA to Webhelp transform that had worked for me in 15.x no longer works.

Specifically, the search results pane has no title or other URL to click on to go to a topic. I tried in Firefox and Chrome. Local server and direct file access. No joy.

My topics are to the effect of:

Code: Select all

Any hints?

Also: when I run the "Growing Flowers" example, I get same result: no way to click on a search result. So I don't think my DITA is the problem.

It's probably a transform parameter I'm not setting right, or a toolkit bug.

It's definitely a problem with the tool chain... not my DITA or the transform settings.

I got the same flawed search from the "Flower Garden" example.

I also ran my DITA through "webhelp-mobile" transform and got a perfectly working site.

Trouble-shooting note: I downloaded this version of Oxygen 17 yesterday.

More trouble-shooting data.

I ran the webhelp transform with my Windows-64 version of Oxygen Developer --- that worked fine, it made a perfectly good webhelp, complete with clickable search results.

The transform that doesn't work for me is my Linux-64 Oxygen Developer --- which is unfortunate, because that's where I work 95% of the time.

Hello,

I was not able to reproduce this issue.
Could you please use a clean install of Oxygen Developer (into another location) for your Linux 64bit and try to reproduce the issue using the built-in DITA Map WebHelp transformation?
