Webhelp Pro Project - RoboHelp Server - Context Sensitive Help

[Guest]

Hi,

I had created a Webhelp Pro Project and deployed to RoboHelp Server

I tested with the CSH Test Tool and the Context Sensitive Help works fine with Map Numbers.

But, I am not able to test this by calling from the browser.My URL

'http://rbh:8080/rbhelp/server?prj=BPR&area=test'

Please help in forming URL Query string to access the context sensitive Page using Map Ids and also Map Numbers.

Thanks,

sdesab.

Hi, sdesab

There is a specific syntax you use to make a CSH call:

Example Context Sensitive Help call

http://localhost:8080/robohelp/server?prj=HumanResources&area=general&wnd=CSHWindow&ctxid=1

Note the author had defined a Window (optional) in the project for containing the topic and that is what the "wnd" is. The Context ID is simply "1" in this example.

There is no Context ID string. Rather, you just use the map number.

Hi John,

Thank you so much for your reply.

I would like to know. invoking the Robohelp server for contextive sensitive help using Topic Id or Map Id.

Incase if not possible, please let me know to derive map number from Mapping file  generated in the Robohelp and the steps involved from the invoking application.

or point me to the document Source.

The reason being, the Robohelp is being created for an already existing application for which internal Page Indentifers exists. These page identifiers are used as Map Id/Topic Id in Robohelp. So it would be easy to invoke a CSH with Mapid.

Thanks,

sdesab.
