FrameMaker with WebWorks?

[John Pitt]

Callie,

I don't recognise your error, but I can assure you that 9.2 does work 
with FM 7.2. It is NOT supported, however, with FM 8, which was 
introduced after eP 9.2.

I suggest that you build a quick and dirty test project from scratch, 
using FM 7.2 and the default webworks template that you used to build 
your present projects (i.e., NOT your present project file). If that 
works without spitting out the same errors, you can be safely assured 
that the problem is elsewhere.

My guess is that an override made to your project in 9.1 conflicts with 
9.2. If so, you need to look closely at:
<http://wiki.webworks.com/HelpCenter/Reference/XMLTransformChanges>

There was a major technological change between 9.1 and 9.2, and this is 
probably the cause of your problem.

The wiki article seems fairly heavy stuff at first glance, so if you 
don't feel confident, enlist a tame developer to help :)

The advances in ww eP since 9.1/9.2 are enormous, so I highly recommend 
going to 2008.2.

HTH

Hello Fellow Framers,

I'm wondering if others who use WebWorks as their online help software
in conjunction with FrameMaker have discovered whether WebWorks has
fixed their glitch that WW 9.2 does not work with FM (7.2, in our case).
We use FM 7.2 for documents, and WW 9.1 for online help, because we
can't get WW 9.2 to recognize FM files (we just get an error. Rough
translation: "Need to update file. Okay?" [Self hits Okay] "Cannot open
project. Alien file format." [WW crash] Have others solved this by
upgrading to FM 8.0? Just curious.
