Can’t find any way to select or omit drawings from the Project Publisher Menu. For example, I only want to see the Activity Diagrams and Glossary Grid in the menu, but I’m seeing a bunch of other drawing types (Business Process, Component, Requirement etc) which do exist within the project, but I don’t want them included in the html.
How do I selectively exclude either individual drawings or drawing types?
Secondly, when I do click on the Activity Diagrams menu option (in the html) I get a list of drawings as expected.
What isn’t expected is that they are NOT in alphabet order. As best as I can judge, they appear to be in the order they were created, which is not helpful. How do I force them to appear in alpha?

It is because some other diagrams are referenced by your selected diagrams.
I think we should provide option to determine include/not-include the referenced diagram/elements…
We’re looking good. The glossary links in popups are working. I have minor quibbles about that, which I’ll address later. The basic functionality is now there and its a vast improvement. Well done.
The exclusion filter is also working. I’m now only seeing the diagrams I’ve selected.
But the diagram list is still not in alpha. And I don’t understand what you’re illustrating with the final image in your post above. I get the bit about Case control and a sorting hierarchy, but my diagram list is still in “random” order. The first letters of the first half dozen (all upper case) read C, D, C, C, P, C, for example.
Do I need to reselect them to get the ordering correct?
On further examination, I was wrong about the glossary links.
The ones I tested were all my own hotspot links - which had stopped working because you switched to using a giant single file glossary and you’ve now reverted to individual files. That’s good. It means my hotspots are working again.
But your own links are only partially and inconsistently working. I’ll have to update the anon version to illustrate the point and I may not have a chance to do that for a couple of days. I’ll let you know when I have.
Sorry, You are asking for ordering of diagrams. But I got wrong, and we fixed the ordering of elements.
We didn’t support option on how to sort the diagrams. But I think your request is correct, so, we should fix it:
However, I have now had time to analyse and describe some other issues with the revised html generator, which I’ve saved in the shared VPANON folder
Please read “html issues.txt”
I’ve just verified that it’s there.
Your sync may not be “syncing”. Make sure it’s running and check the icon is in your systray, and no firewall is blocking it.
As a quick test of whether or not you’re syncing, what is the size and datestamp of the Codelanon.vpp file?
It should be 2,126,848 bytes and datestamped 20/03/2018 14:36:02. If you still see the older file, you are not syncing.
If the icon is not there, you’ll need to restart sync. If it is, right click on the icon and use the option “Go to Sync.com web panel” and you’ll be able to access the shared files that way.
If you still don’t see it, I’ll raise the issue with Sync.
Hi, we got your html issues.txt,
I am trying to handle the last request first:
How do I get back to being able to use my hotspots exactly as they were?
What I hope you can say is that if I choose one of the other options (for the “Click on highlighted term”) then the html code generated should be identical to what it was before you started the new version.
Since I am not sure your hotspots is developed in which option.
But I can try to explain what are the differences between the 3 options again.
In fact, as I know, we didn’t make a big differences on the generated HTML files.
I think you can tune your code to make your hotpots works again easily.
First, you know we added more <area> into the image map, to support making the terms to be click-able in the image.
We just added new <area> for the terms. No changes on other html elements.
So, I think you can modify your customized content to fit those new <area>s easily.
or,
You can remove all those new <area>s, so that, you can add your own hotspots as before.
where, the onclick= calls window.open(...) directly.
Solution:
We generate onclick=popupTerm('Glossary_qEFiskaD_AACAQes.html')
We will implement the popupTerm(...) to call window.open(...) as now. (implement in link_popup.js)
So then, you can overwrite the popupTerm(...) to popup your window as you need.
Please wait…
Sorry, this was supported in latest patch (I forgot to update you…).
You can find now, the onclick=… is calling a popupTerm(…) function.
You can override this function to show your hotspot now.
Thanks Peter, though I’m not clear on what I need to do to override the function. Are you suggesting a particular choice in the Advanced Project Publisher options or do you mean a direct hack on the html?
Sorry, I am not familiar on javascript. I am not sure that, is it possible to provide another .js file to override a function. If it is impossible, I think you can re-implement this function after you generate those html files.
