RH 11: Multiscreen desktop layout
I am generating desktop layout (only) in my Multiscreen SSL. Our users are only going to view our help from a PC and we’ve got auto-collapsing TOC books that are driving everyone mad. Can anyone please help?
Here is the behavior we’re seeing:
- Open books and sub books (result: books are open).
- Click a topic in a sub-book (result: books stay open).
- Open a new book and sub-book (result: new books and old books are open)
- Click a topic in the new sub-book (result: old books close). Gah!
At step 4, we want all the books to say open.
I am using a desktop layout based on the default “Desktop_Layout” shipped with RH that I have adjusted slightly for colour and branding.
This uses the TOC widget with a class="wTOCTree" and widgettype="toctree".
Reading WvanWeelden’s site (http://www.wvanweelden.eu/blog/2012/12/20/starting-html5-layouts-robohelp-getting-know-wid gets), he explains the behavior of the two TOC widget types:
- TOC tree - Default table of contents that presents a tree view. Perfect for desktop.
- TOC expanding node - The table of contents that shows you only one level at the same time. Clicking a book will take you to the next level. Perfect for mobile devices.
Although I have the TOC tree type specified, I think I am getting the TOC expanding node behavior.
I should mention, I have only viewed the output locally so far - haven't been able to get it on a webserver yet.
Can anyone advise?
thanks in advance
