Integrating database Permissions within Robohelp

[Guest]

Edition

RoboHelp HTML

Version

RoboHelp 10.

Problem:

We are designing the web help for our project. Our requirement is each help page is permission driven. This permission are stored in our SQL Server database. How could we plug-in our server side .NET code within Robohelp so that before displaying any page RpboHelp checks for permission and if successful, it displays the help page to the user. Will I able to acheive this with RoboHelp ?

Our second requirement is our help should be localized in 13 languages. I have checked the Robohelp documentation and it supports this 13 languages. I would like to design a single help page in 13 langugages. I DO NOT want to create 13 seperate files for 13 languages.How do I go about it ?

Your first requirement can not be met in RoboHelp. This would have to be done programmatically.

Your second requirement can be met in RoboHelp. There is a couple of good articles on the required strategy at:

Thanks for your reply.

For my first requirement, you suggested doing it programmatically. Does it mean, we have to build something on our own from the scratch OR is there a way once RoboHelp generates the help package, we could modify some files and get our work done ?

I am not a Developer but I'd have thought this would have to be something coded from scratch. There is definitely no way to do this out of the box with RoboHelp. All I can suggest is that you look around for code snippets that may do what you require and see if you can use them in some way.
