Can we link FM file to a button on Main toolbar

Hi

I am using FM11-RH10, as part of TCS4.

I want to display our copyright and trademark information as a button on the top panel (next to Content, Search, Index, and Glossary). The content is coming from a FrameMaker (.fm) file. So, is there a way I can link a FM file to this button? Ideally, I would want to do it as part of the settings or skin file. If that is impossible, I am fine with having that as a post-import task in RH as well.

Is that possible?

First you’d have to create the button and put it in the skin, then make it a hyperlink to the text that you’ve brought in from FM. Get out your skin editing skills and java scripting. Start with Rick’s Skinny on Skins help.

I know how to edit the skin and get a button on it. But I don't know how to link the FM file to it. I don't have the JavaScript skills either. I will check out Rick's Skinny on Skins help. Thanks.

You probably won’t be linking to the FM file itself, rather, the topic created in RH from that FM content.
