Leon is right. The "workaround" we have used for years is to
create multiple TOC (projectname.hhc) or Index (.hhk) files and
archive them somewhere for safekeeping. Then use them to overwrite
the existing ones in the project. It works but it's really
inconvenient and you really have to pay attention to an archive
naming scheme because the filenames must be the same as the project
name.
However, I just noticed that I forgot to report in my Adobe RoboHelp 7 sneak peek wrap up an even more robust implementation. BTW, here's the URL Peter mentioned http://tinyurl.com/2ldt7e
Not only will you have multiple TOC/Index and Glossary definitions - you will also have the ability to add a "placeholder" from one custom TOC to another. It's a reference that can be placed anywhere in the hierarchy of the TOC. It works in a similar way that the Merged TOC icon works now. Way cool and takes the TOC (Index) to another level. They will also play nice with RoboSource Control if you are using that.
Thanx,
john

Hi Hugh
I'll have to defer to John Daigle, Colum or another that regularly uses the Server component to provide details if this is unclear. However, it's my understanding that the RoboHelp Server has a component that acts as like the server Admin console. I believe you use it to configure how RoboHelp Server behaves. I understand that using this application, you can elect to have the server either automatically merge projects for you or not.
In your case it would seem that you don't want the automatic merging. So you would probably want to turn it off.
That part seems clear enough. At least to me. Here is where it grows pretty fuzzy for me. If you aren't automatically merging projects, there would have to be SOME way to determine the URL for each project published. I'm thinking that if you knew the URL, you could then code either a TOC entry, Toolbar button or some other way to cause other systems to load up and display.
Cheers... Rick
