WebWorks Reverb 2.0
WebWorks Reverb 2.0 can now be viewed directly from your computer’s file system or from a running web server. This means that you can use this format to deliver online help as part of a non-networked help system. However, in order to provide Reverb’s social-media capabilities (i.e. commenting, likes) to your end-users you must deploy the output to a system that is running a web server. Then your end-users must access the content via an http or https url. If you do not have a web server, you can configure IIS on Windows or any other available web server software. For more information on IIS, consult the following resource.
When you are using ePublisher to generate WebWorks Reverb, ePublisher includes a viewer that you can use on the computer where you installed ePublisher to view the WebWorks Reverb output you generated using ePublisher.
Configuring web server for Reverb
If deploying Reverb output to a public web server that has X-FRAME-OPTIONS configured, make sure that for HTML pages this header is not configured as follows:
X-Frame-Options: DENY
Instead it should be configured as:
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Reverb browser requirements
WebWorks Reverb has been tested on the following platforms:
*Internet Explorer 10+
Note: Internet Explorer has been discontinued by Microsoft
*Microsoft Edge
*Mozilla Firefox
*Safari
*Chromium browsers (Brave, Google Chrome, etc.)
Local Deployment Limitations
Google Translate and Disqus Commenting are not functional when content is deployed locally (i.e. not hosted on a web server). However, all other capabilities of the help system will still be functional.
Web Server Deployment Requirements
End users are not required to enable DOM storage. However, if not enabled, the Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down features will not record analytic events.
