Hello,
I am using robohelp 8. I am trying to change the order of the navigation bar - it current has buttons for "contents, index", etc.
i created a forward and back button and would like to move those up before the contents button.
I see you can arrange the order of buttons in the "windows", however, when i generate the robohelp - help (using the webhelp pro layout), it doesn't adjust the order of the buttons. I did set the windows settings to the window i created (with the adjusted order) within the generate options of webhelp pro.
can anyone help me understand why windows settings to adjust the order of the navigation bar are not working?
Thank you for any ideas.
Leah

Hello,
Thank you for the reply. No i am not using robohelp server. Im generating robohelp content and then uploading the html files / code to a server.
Do the windows settings only apply to a site hosted via a robohelp server? I have searched and searched and cant figure out another way to modify the button order.
Thanks,
Leah

Hi Leah
I asked because you said you were using WebHelp Pro layout. Sounds like you have fallen prey to a common misunderstanding.

Thank you for the feedback. I do understand the difference now that i have read that link.
I used the "web help pro" because when using webhelp as the primary layout, the "Skin" option is greyed out when i try to generate help and i want to use a skin.
So is there a way to apply a skin to web help? And how do i go about adjusting the order of the buttons?
Thank you for any suggestions.

Hi, Leah. Since Rick may be away for a moment, I'll chime in here and offer this.

Thanks John, indeed I was en route to the recording studio for miss Stephanie.
Leah, in addition to what John offered I'll also add this. When you examine the properties for the WebHelp, look at the Navigation category on the left. The skin may not be an option for you if you have enabled the "Section 508" option as shown below:
If that's the deal and you clear the option, you will again have an ability to choose a skin.
To re-order the toolbar buttons, choose the button to be moved and use the Up/Down buttons.
Cheers... Rick
