Hi, everyone.
I'm building a WebHelp and out of no where now when I build it, the start up topic link gets another 'Content/' in it. So when I open it in IE and Firefox, it shows that it can't find the file:
location/location/location/Content/Content/file.htm
However, when I click the same file in the TOC, it shows up. When I redo the Startup topic in the Target it still adds the extra Content/.
HELP! Thank you so much!

Actually, regardless of the version of Flare, the thing I'd do is open the target in an external editor like Notepad or TextPad. Look for the following property:
See if "content" is in there twice.
If it is in there twice, remove one and rebuild the target to see if it works.
That would give you the following property:
If it is only in there once, remove it and rebuild the target to see if it works.
That would give you the following property:
The other thing to check, while you have this folder open is to look at these two properties:
and
you only want "content" either before the second one, or after the first one. If there is "content" in both places, it will mess things up.
Hope this is going the right direction.
Code: Select all
DefaultUrl="/Content/file.htm"

That would give you the following property:
Code: Select all
DefaultUrl="/Content/file.htm"
That would give you the following property:
Code: Select all
DefaultUrl="file.htm"
The other thing to check, while you have this folder open is to look at these two properties:
Code: Select all
OutputFolder="\\path\WebHelp"
Code: Select all
DefaultUrl="/Content/Help_Topics/file.htm"
Hope this is going the right direction.
Re: Startup topic not found due to addition of /Content in link
That didn't work. Here's what's in that target:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CatapultTarget
Version="1"
Comment=""
Type="WebHelp"
Destinations=""
DefaultUrl="/Content/vc_overview.htm"
MasterToc="/Project/TOCs/Primary.fltoc"
OutputFile="VoiceConsoleHelp.htm"
GetLatestBeforeCompile="false"
GlossaryMasterPage="/Content/Resources/MasterPages/WebHelpMP.flmsp"
InsertMOTW="false"
MasterPage="/Content/Resources/MasterPages/WebHelpMP.flmsp"
Medium="non-print"
AliasFile="/Project/Advanced/VC_Alias.flali"
ConditionTagExpression=""
Skin="/Project/Skins/NewWindow.flskn"
DisableAutoSync="false"
InjectDocType="false"
TargetLanguage="ja">
<Glossaries />
</CatapultTarget>
I don't even see those last two you talk about. Thanks for your help!

Re: Startup topic not found due to addition of /Content in link
"OutputFolder" probably isn't there because you use the default build location.
"DefaultUrl" is there. And it does have the /content/ folder there, once.
What happens if you remove "/Content" portion from the "DefaultUrl" line?
So use this:
DefaultUrl="/vc_overview.htm"
And build your target to see what happens. It's just a thought?

Nope, that doesn't work either. I also created a brand new target and the same thing happens.
