Were the conditions applied to the image in Capture, or were the conditions applied to separate images on the page layout? The conditions are applied inside of MadCap Capture. I have several images layered, each with a condition set so that only one of the layers appears, depending on the Flare tar...

So, in end end, is this supposed to be supported by Flare and it doesn't work (i.e., it's a bug)? Or is it really not supposed to be yet, but it something they ought to do in a future release (i.e., it's a feature request)? Sorry for the slow response. I am afraid I don't know. Due to the lack of t...

Hi Shawn, Sounds like a bug to me. I recommend contacting support, if you haven't already. I have and the response back was an extremely disappointing and lazy form message to zip my Flare project and send it to MadCap support... nothing more. Another less than optimal support answer. MadCap suppor...

I just want to know if it is possible to use a conditional image (created in MadCap Capture) inside a pagelayout footer.

Hello all, I now need to add co-branding for some of my documentation. My solution was to create a single image with each corporate logo side-by-side (in order to ensure relative size, position, and space between logos). Next, in MadCap Capture, I placed a white box over the secondary logo with a co...

You are welcome.

Hi, My company has just adopted using HTML5 output for our manuals. Yeah! We now need an easy way to package up the output on a thumb drive or CD for our customers. They are used to PDFs and the HTML5 output folder is going to be a bit confusing for them. I think we need a .bat file or shortcut to ...

FYI, for those not familiar with this flag, here is an example of how this flag is used:

Oh. And sometimes the madcap styling overrides the project styling (something to do with the cascade, but I forget the details)*. So if it doesn't work the first time, add !important after the property that didn't 'stick' and see how that goes. :) * working in an older version, so your mileage may ...

The solution is to edit, C:\Program Files\MadCap Software\MadCap Flare 13\Flare.app\Resources\WebHelp2\Desktop\Skins\Default\Stylesheets\Topic.css And then at the end of this stylesheet, add the class: td.GenIndexPageText1 { width: 300px; } Presto... fixed. :) My usual caveat of "I may be wron...

Can you manually add td.GenIndexPageText1 to your stylesheet and set the width on that? I seem to remember I did something similar for the table of contents for a printed output a number of years ago, but I'm not using Flare at the moment. Thanks for the tip but td.GenIndexPageText1 needs to be edi...

I think I have exhausted all the possible stylesheet options under MadCap|indexProxy. If changing the column width is actually possible, I suspect the edits will happen in a table class. :]

I submitted a support request. Hopefully there is a solution to this.

Hoping to avoid a lot of time experimenting... can anyone tell me how to increase the index link column width? I did some experimenting using Firefox's Firebug and found part of the clue... It's generated as... <td class="GenIndexPageText1"> but in the attached example (I changed only the ...

You folks are awesome!

Thank you so much!

Hello all, I am finally getting back to creating an HTML5 version of my documentation and I am having difficulties with Search filter and making the Index page work. Search filter Icon What is the secret to getting the search filter icon to appear in the published version of my HTML5 docs? It appear...

Hello all, Thank you so much for your assistance. I found the problem... or if not, it is a coincidence that when I enabled Auto-include linked files in the global import file, the synchronization is now working when I run a build. :D :D I thought this selection was enabled yesterday. ??? 2017-02-22...

Is it possible that any of the globally-linked files in your project are read-only at the time of import? We use SVN and our projects are not bound to source control in Flare. We've found that if *any* of the files to be imported are read-only, the import silently fails for all files and the status...

After some additional testing, I have discovered that although Project Import Editor allows for a manual reimport, which successfully updates the destination target's folders. But no matter how many times I select and run a reimport, the same files are always erroneously appearing with a status of S...

When I build a project, I first see the Source Control window, "Querying Source Server" followed by the GPL window, "Auto Sync Import". The build appears to progress normally but once the build has completed, it is apparent that the files from the global project didn't actually ...

Hello all, It seems that after configuring git source control or after upgrading to Flare 2017, my global project linking is no longer working. When I build a project, I first see the Source Control window, "Querying Source Server" followed by the GPL window, "Auto Sync Import". ...

This had been puzzling me. I ignored 2016 r2 given I wasn't interested in MadCap Central (as a sole author). But as I'm on maintenance I had been waiting to be emailed a key to move to 2017 (aka Flare13). Today I cracked it – they’ve changed the system – I just had to go to https://www.madcapsoftwa...

I've found two problematic bugs related to the new preview, which have been sufficient for me to not start using 2017 for live projects yet. I am now using Flare 2017 and I haven't encountered (or noticed) any issues that affect me. The only difference I have noticed is that the "Progress"...

That is correct but my version should have at least shown the last available update... v12 r2.

Anyhow, my main issue was that I was never notified about Flare 2017.
