Custom Help Toolkit for Business Central

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 24

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a Custom Help Toolkit for Business Central: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/help/custom-help-toolkit

The issue is that the menu looks incorrect after converting GitHub (https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/dynamics365smb-docs) MDs to HTML web site.

It seems that the menu always shows in an expanded way. I've tried  this web site using localhost from DocFX, IIS and Nginx with the same result.

Does anybody face the same issue? Any solution?

Thank you!

K.

    As discussed in this reported feedback threadthe toolkit itself generates HTML files that are ready to be published to a website, but it does not provide a website. That means that the TOC.html file is treated the same way as all the other HTML files, unless you add code that builds the actual website, including the left nav pane that the TOC.html would be able to fit into.  

    We at Microsoft do not currently deliver a template that you can easily use. I'm working on finding a way to deliver that, but it's not easy (I'm not a web developer, myself).

    I understand if this is not the answer you are looking for, but it's the best I can deliver at this point in time.

    Best regards,

    Hello.

    Thank you for the information! I'm looking for a solution to make a custom help for on-premise BC. Due to HtmlFromRepoGenerator with GitHub cannot be used to make a website, I try to combine that tool with on-premise BC help that can be deployed from the installer. And it seems it looks fine to me except for one thing:  the DOCFX menu. The menu looks fine for a small resolution but the menu expands automatically if the resolution becomes higher.

    Here is the code related to that menu:

           <nav id="autocollapse" class="navbar navbar-inverse ng-scope" role="navigation">

              <div class="container">

                <div class="navbar-header">

                  <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar">

                    <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>

                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>

                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>

                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>

                  </button>

                  <a class="navbar-brand" href="index.html">

                    <img id="logo" class="svg" src="logo.svg" alt="">

                  </a>

                </div>

                <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbar">

                  <form class="navbar-form navbar-right" role="search" id="search">

                    <div class="form-group">

                      <input type="text" class="form-control" id="search-query" placeholder="Search" autocomplete="off">

                    </div>

                  </form>

                </div>

              </div>

            </nav>

    Is there a way to remove that menu, maybe during conversion via DocFX? Or maybe there is some hint with CSS styles to fix it?

    Thank you!
