Hi Everyone,
In RH10, is it possible to link to a topic that is a "book with link" topic and have the book topic expand in the TOC?
If you link to a normal topic with the "Autosynchronise TOC" option switched on, the destination topic in the TOC is highlighted in grey and the book is expanded like this:
However if I link to the Printing book topic, the book looks like this:
But I'd like it to look like this:
Can this be done?
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andy
You could accomplish it by creating a topic known as a "redirect" topic. Essentially you would insert a meta tag into the HTML of the topic that looks like this:
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=refresh CONTENT="0;URL=Topic_Name.htm">
This gets inserted in that area at the top of the code. Somewhere (doesn't matter where) between the <head> and </head> tags.
Then configure the Topic_Name.htm to point to the first topic inside the book.

Hi Andy
Create a topic that has no content inside it. Amend it per my instructions above. Then link the book to that topic.
When the user clicks the book, it should then in turn load the redirect topic. The redirect topic should then cause the first topic inside the book to open. Assuming your TOC has been configured to sync to the displayed topic, all should work.
