MadCap Software Forums

I'm sure this is really easy, it's just eluding me at the moment. I have a PDF document I would like readers to be able to access from within my Web Help app. How do I do this?

Thanks,
Nancy

So, I clicked on the MadCap Snippet block and then clicked Format>Group>Div... this enclosed the Snippet inside of a Div tag... Attaching the name to the Div tag worked! It seems very strange that all of the other instances of this are working, but I am going to change all of them in order to preven...

I hope this is correct. The code for tables doesn't make 100% sense to me.... This is the code for the cell containing the toggler that only works some of the time... this code is from the snippet containing the toggler.... <td class="BodyF-Column2-Body1"> <p>Click the <strong>Find Employe...

They are in the same project, from the same TOC; etc. using Flare 7.

A little extra information...

If I remove everything but the snippet block from the Topic that is displaying the snippet level togglers correctly, the snippet level togglers no longer display correctly....

What makes this issue very strange is that I have done this same exact thing in several other snippets and topics... For whatever reason, this is the only topic that displays all of the snippet level togglers as expanded. I can't figure out if it is an issue with the snippet or the topic, or both......

Scenario: The last element displayed on my webhelp page is a toggler. I have used the scroll bar to scroll to the very bottom of my page where this toggler resides in a collapsed position. When I expand that toggler, my page remains in the same "position" and I have to manually scroll down...

Sorry about that... I am creating Webhelp output...

The issue is visible when I preview the topic from within Flare, as well as, when I access the topic from the Webhelp output...

Strange issue with toggler function: I have a "How To Create Request" procedure table that is in a snippet, ---within this table is a toggler that can be expanded to display a sub-procedure table that is in another snippet "How To Search for and Select an Assignee"... (I have thi...

I just realized I never did thank you for your response. Thank you! I appreciate your help!

I have seen two posts that deal with the need to send output to some sort of braille printer... I'm just beginning to look into this so I know nothing about this at this time. I am shouting out to anyone who can enlighten me as to the following: 1. How is any Word or Webhelp output converted to brai...

I hadn't thought of making them myself... I guess I could use some direction on either making them or pulling them down free from some internet source... I'm all ears!

I want to customize the webhelp toolbar by changing the icons currently used. I have downloaded a different skin from the Madcap skin library (Robin), but I don't care for the icons included in that skin. The default incon set is o.k. but because my webhelp color paletter has changed, they no longer...

Provision: Frames shall be titled with text that facilitates frame identification and navigation My webhelp output has issues with regard to this compliance requirement. It looks like the following is wrong: 1) The Frame associated with url used to access my output does not contain a Title; it appea...

Thank you for taking the time to assist me with this. We don't do custom coding for every client, rather we provide the client the ability to turn functionality on and off using flags contained in system tables. We also provide them with the ability to name some of their own fields.. again, I believ...

There are two products I would like this to work for: One product is brand new (no clients yet) and I have been writing the documentation with the mindset that this type of role-based access wouldn't be possible. It is just basic webhelp that will show all available topics to everyone. And, without ...

Thank you for your input. I am afraid we would have too many combinations to make the multiple output solution feasible for us as well... but I haven't really done the analysis yet. My guess is we could limit the number of outputs, come a little closer to what is desired, but still fall short... the...

I am inquiring as to whether or not it is possible to add anything onto Flare WebHelp projects that would enable role-based access to WebHelp. The systems I document provide access to functionality based on user role, and based on whether or not the client has "turned on" access to differe...

I am having an issue with the navigating w/in my Webhelp. I have topics that I am referencing in more than one place, and I want to be able to control how the automatic "routing" w/in the TOC / webhelp navigation pane is done. I like that when I click on links within topics themselves the ...

I have been scouring the forums looking for help with auto-numbering and can't seem to find what I need. I am writing procedures and have chosen to use tables instead of lists in order to include different levels of details in different columns and to include a result column. What I Need: 1. Directi...

I was making it too hard. I was highlighting the cell and the Name function was being greyed out. You are right, if I just click in the cell, the Name function displays... And it WORKS! I tried it just now and my table is "behaving"! Thank you so much! I believe this is a solution I'm comf...

Yikes! I don't think I have time to do all of that. Somehow my tables aren't formatted as simply as that... I have Column and Body not Column and Row... The Table Style Editor and I don't get along; let's just put it that way. I find it very confusing; it doesn't really make sense so I fumbled my wa...

That sounds a bit tedious up-front, but may end up working... if I could only figure out how to name each cell...
When I select the cell and select the Format menu, "Name" is greyed out... is there a trick to this?

Thanks!
Nancy

Background I am writing procedure steps in a table and providing additional detail in a couple of the columns that may not be needed by more advanced users. I would like to display the procedure table w/o showing the additional columns and provide the user with the ability to indicate when they nee...

Thanks.... I did just find something that may be of interest...if you are overriding project variables with target variables, you many need to develop a naming convention so the target variable can keep the variable beginning with uppercase letter straight from the variable beginning with the lowerc...

I think I know the answer to this but I thought I would make a "shout out" to my trusted Flare Help Community for confirmation... I am using variables in my content and have found that there are times I use the same variable at the beginning of a sentence, or in a header, or somewhrere in ...
