Wow, I would NOT have guessed that (the alphabetical thing), so thanks for asking! You just solved a mystery for me

I realize I'm posting some years after the initial post, but I was able to get rid of that error by moving the reference to initialise.js to the end of the template page, just before the closing body tag. I also included defer: <script type="text/javascript" defer="defer" src=&qu...

This is EXACTLY the solution I was looking for! Thanks so much, Rob.

Thanks for posting the updated solution from Dave Lee. It didn't work for me until I discovered something after several hours of trial and error. I'm posting my discovery here in case it's helpful to anyone else. By the way, this post assumes the reader has basic familiarity with javascript. If you ...

Okay, per Murphy's Law, I figured out the answer soon after I posted the question :) I couldn't find this documented anywhere. But Rebuild is only available in Central if the build was generated from Central. If it was generated from Flare, Rebuild is not available. Hope this answer helps someone el...

Our team has multiple projects in Central. When I go to the Build list for a project and click the 3-dot menu, sometimes the Rebuild option is available, and other times it's grayed out. I've looked for patterns as to why this might be happening, but I can't see any. It doesn't appear to be associat...

I don't know if this will help anyone, but after quite a bit of troubleshooting I discovered that the build fails if the target name is 41 characters or more, excluding the .fltar extension. I don't know if that's the only cause of a build failing because it "could not find a part of a path,&qu...

Sometimes Flare gets its knickers in a twist, so I suggest you close your Flare project and delete the Output and Analyzer folders, then re-open your project and try to build again. And this is what fixed it for me. Sometimes the old solutions are the best ones! Worked for me too! Thank you, Chocci...

kathryngz

Thank you! Such a simple fix, but I hadn't had any luck finding it prior to reading this thread.

Following up on my post above: I tried using JavaScript to blur the last selected element (I assume it was selected because it was "clicked" by the script). But I couldn't get it to blur, and hence couldn't get the page to scroll to the top. But that failure led me to another solution that...

kathryngz

When I run the script, it scrolls down nearly to the bottom of the page. The script is at the top of the topic (in the <head> tags). Any idea how to prevent this?

kathryngz

Were you able to get this resolved? I just added a custom button and style appears to be showing up correctly . . .

kathryngz

I realize this is an old thread, but I'm having the same issue and it's causing significant problems on my current project. I have a project where the target language is set to Spanish (es). However, there are some untranslated pages that need to be set to English. I'm using the language attribute t...

I suspect I know the answer to this question, but I'll ask it anyway.

Is there any way to flatten all snippets in a project, i.e., convert them all to text? I realize I can manually convert each one, but I'm wondering if there's some kind of batch functionality I can use.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, A few days ago I created a new project from scratch in Flare. I chose the the Side Navigation template from the Factory templates. I just noticed something in the <head> tag of topics that I don't think I've seen in a Flare project before: <meta name="template" content="F...

kathryngz

Hi everyone, I am working on a page that consists of about 15 dropdown hotspots. All work as expected except the last one at the bottom of the page. When I click the last one, nothing apparently happens, although the scrollbar moves. It turns out the text is being loaded below the end of the page an...

Nita, thanks for posting the link to the webinar recordings! It's good to have the webinar and slide deck link. But I'm not seeing any code or Flare project I can download. Did I miss it? If not... Chris, is there still a chance you can share your code with us? If you ran into issues about sharing i...

kathryngz

Chris, I just wanted to check back with you about getting copies of your Flare files. I understood from the webinar that they would be sent out to viewers, but I haven't seen them. Do you know if they've been sent out yet? I'm eager to see them because they will help me make a huge improvement on my...

kathryngz

Chris, that webinar was fantastic. I can't believe what a perfect fit the information is for my current job. I'm even using Captivate to create e-learning (I got my master's degree in instructional design, but I've been a tech writer for the last 20 years, so I wear both hats). It sounds like the co...

kathryngz

Yes, I'd love to attend the webinar! I look forward to more information. And thanks for sharing the code!

kathryngz

Chris, WOW!!! That is beautiful and exactly what I'm looking for! I have some questions, but is there a chance you'd be able/willing to share your code? I understand if not, as it may be considered proprietary. But seeing the code would probably answer most of my questions. Thanks again! I am super ...

kathryngz

Chris and Paul, thanks for your replies! Somehow I missed the notifications that anyone had responded to my post. Just saw your answers today. I have used snippet conditions before, and I agree, they're great! I can see how I could use them in several scenarios, since you mentioned it :) But I'm not...

In case it helps, I just learned of this free text-to-speech site today. It has a variety of voices and languages.

I know this is an old thread, but it's relevant to what I'm trying to do now. You can do that with PHP. Embed PHP code in the page to connect to the database and query the tables, then prepare the results for output. I've done this type of thing frequently on regular (non-Flare) websites. But in ord...

Hi all, I'm seeking advice on the best way to display data from a single source in multiple topics. Here's my scenario. I have a list of of presentations that I need to display in several topic pages on a website. For example, on one of the pages I want to display the whole list and allow users to s...
