Hello,
Was wondering if anyone could help me out, I'm trying to add an image to the help file banner. Can anyone provide code to add to a template?
Thanks

hello No one here has tried this before?

Euromatt This is how I did it:
First, I copied my banner image to "...\Application Data\innovasys\documentx5\templates\TemplateName\images" (I don't know why Help Studio's templates go in a DocumentX folder).
Next, I edited "Standard.html" in the template (folder). This can be done from either Windows or Help Studio itself.
In Standard.html, the banner is made up of two tables, identified as "pagetoptable2" and "pagetoptable1". The topic title goes in a row called "pagetoptitle1row2". I split this row into two cells and added the location of the image in the right hand cell, like so:
<tr id="pagetoptable1row2">
<td width="80%" align="left"><span id="pagetitle"><!--DXMETADATA start type="ItemTitle" --><Item Title><!--DXMETADATA end --></span></td>
<td rowspan="3" width="20%" align="right"><img src="images/BannerLogo.png"></td>
</tr>
Hope this helps. -
hello I was doing same thing you posted just GUI way in the Normal view of HelpStudio Page Layout Editor and applying a background too the table. Easier than my way but in both case I run into not being to fully wrap the header/banner with a picture... find it weird no option was never implemented.
I guess help files were meant to stay boring...
Euromatt thank you for taking time to help

mylkee I tried this solution, but HS keeps replacing image address with absolute path, c:\My Documents\Help Studio Projects.. What am I doing wrong? -
Permanently deleted user You can switch to source edit mode and change the img src to a relative address.
You might be interested to know that HelpStudio 2011 (currently in beta) supports a banner image as a built in option (on the Branding page in the Profile editor).
