I finished up a digital asset mainly following the tutorial, but when it comes to adding the help text and adding icons to the asset, things seem to differ from the video in Houdini 9.5. In 9.5 there isn't the icon folder noted in the video (or anywhere else it seems for those specific icons) and clicking on the help button of the asset gives me the below error. I was hoping to work it all out my self using the help pages, but alas! I can't seem to figure it out. Can someone point me in the right direction to get the help and icons working in asset (a VOP by the way) for Houdini 9.5?

Code:
URL: http://localhost:48626/nodes/vop/myAsset
Module paste.evalexception.middleware:306 in respond       
<<try:
__traceback_supplement__ = errormiddleware.Supplement, self, environ
app_iter = self.application(environ, detect_start_response)
try:
return_iter = list(app_iter)>>  app_iter = self.application(environ, detect_start_response)
Module houdinihelp.wsgi:366 in dispatcher       
<<#environ['PATH_INFO'] = path[match.end():]
                   
return app(environ, start_response)
           
if static:>>  return app(environ, start_response)
Module houdinihelp.wsgi:75 in wikiapp       
<<sourcepage = provider[sourcepath]
   
html_path = sourcepage.filepath[:-4] + ".html"
if os.path.exists(html_path):
start_response("200 OK", [('Content-type','text/html;charset=utf-8')])>>  html_path = sourcepage.filepath[:-4] + ".html"
AttributeError: 'StringPage' object has no attribute 'filepath'

I will say though you can still inject your own icon for the otl.

If you've embedded gif or jpg's in your asset you can display them in your help like this.

Code:
 <td class="o"><img src="opdef:/Object/aw_envlight?colorbleed.gif" width="13" height="12"/></td>


You can also use images in CSS like this.
Code:
 
<style type="text/css">     
.mid {
        margin:0;
        height:25px;
        background-color:#FFF;
        background: #FFF url("opdef:/Object/aw_envlight?tl_middle.jpg") repeat-x top left;
        }
</style>

@circusmonkey
I figured that would still work - thanks for confirming. I suppose I didn't go that route since I don't think I could come up with a better icon than those available from Houdini Smile

@Alanw
Thanks for the tip!
