Re: Camtasia videos won't play in Flare topics
I know this is an older thread, but I still wanted to pass along a tip if you are having trouble with videos made in Camtasia Studio playing in Flare output. When you export the MP4, select Use GPU Encoding . After I did that, Flare doesn't have an issue playing the video in HTML5 output. GPUEncodin...

Re: Flare 2024 issue?
This is potentially why I've been having CORS issues. This CORS thing I think is a horrible invention. Our in-house server includes CORS in the server header responses, so it's difficult for us to share docs (employee to employee) from a common HTML5 output. Half the time it thinks subfolders are cr...

Re: Odd bar showing on frames in Page Layout
Wow... this is odd.... so, if I include HTML in CSS the bar shows. If I remove html, the entire frame is gray like the body background. html, body /* Specifies the default styling for the page and body elements on desktops and laptops. */ { font-family: var(--key_base_font_family); font-size: var(--...

Select Tripane Skin from TopNav SelectSkin Button
I wanted to give my users an option to go "old school" if they want with a tripane skin. I have all skins in my project and they're set to be responsive. However, when I build a TopNav and click the SelectSkin button, only TopNav and SideNav skins show up. Why doesn't the Tripane skin show...

Re: Adding images in SideNav menu
@Vibeke, I never thought to edit the TOC at the code level like this. I'm always hesitant to change Flare's code. I will try this as a test though. Thanks to you and Dave for sharing!

Manifest Files and Central
When I publish from Flare to Central, something strange happens to my manifest reference in theTemplatePage. After I publish, my site seems to be referencing a MadCap default manifest file. I'd like more insight into the Central server, but I doubt that happens. Has anyone else had manifest.json fil...

I use conditions as well for things like this. I have multiple glossaries and each term is conditioned. Then you include or exclude terms.

I've had a situation where I couldn't see my new buttons either, and one or both of these settings were off. I'd have to go back through my ...

Re: Flare adds a d1p1 namespace - why?
Update: My boss mentioned Flare had a hiccup during a Find/Replace session she was working on. I'm thinking that might be the culprit... a Find/Replace user request would definitely have to invoke a script in Flare, right? I've submitted a question to MadCap. Indeed, I was inaccurate in my previous ...

Re: Controlling the position of the side navigation menu
I've had success using a snippet and JavaScript. Example 1: I create a container for the menu in a snippet. Then I use JavaScript to append the sidenav-container to the snippet container. This way, you can relocate the sidenav to anywhere on the page that you want and access it with a button (e.g., ...

Changing a Variable Name
The Flare docs don't really explain this very well, in my opinion. If I have a variable named var001, and it's in several of my topics, how do I successfully change the variable name and have it NOT break the variable set in my topic? For example, I changed the name var001 to var123, and all the var...
