Integrating Flare content into an existing LMS (like Moodle) can be done, I'm sure, but you would need some custom dev to automate it. I'd start with looking at the Clean XHTML output type as a starting point.

The good news is that you can just take from this tutorial for the actual creation of the css and script. https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_scroll_to_top.asp To get it to work, just copy the script and create a .js file. Reference the file in your master page. Copy and past the css into your ...

This is my understanding of what you are asking: Someone is in Topic A, which contains a cross reference to Topic B. While in topic A, you don't want topic B to appear in the side menu. However, if someone goes to topic B, you want topic B and topic A to appear in the side menu. Assuming I'm underst...

I think the option you are using is not applicable to Top Navigation outputs, which is why you are not getting the desired result. Linking to another project is going to mean that you need to build that whole project and publish it to its own location, and then set the TOC element to go directly to ...

Not sure if you can edit this in the stylesheet editor, but if you open your stylesheet in the text editor you can edit with this:

.link-list-popup ul li:hover{
background-color: #FFF
}

I pass a parameter in links to the HTML file, e.g. topic.htm?parameter=product1 When I do this, the browser complains about a "file not found" - which for sure is correct, because the name of the file is "topic.htm" but not "topic.htm?parameter=product1" The parameter ...

Sort of off topic, but there is actually a (somewhat hacky) way that you can dynamically show/hide elements in a TOC using classes. Check out the properties of a TOC element and you'll see a "Style Class" property that is available. Cheers. Do these conditions persist in the generated out...

I do something like this: I mark content with conditions; e.g. product1 and product2. I pass a parameter in links to the HTML file, e.g. topic.htm?parameter=product1 I use a script to get the parameter value, and then save this to local storage, so it remembers the value when you browse to other pa...

Flare is not designed to do this. However, I suppose if there is a will, there is a way. When you generate output, content that has conditions applied to it has an attribute applied to the tag similar to the following: <div class="note" data-mc-conditions="Default.ScreenOnly"> C...

This is typically because the master page applied in the topic properties does not exist, or is conditioned to not build in your specific target. My experience is that this usually happens if you are creating topics by copying from an existing topic or using an existing topic as the template. So, th...

Not super familiar with the Linux VM use case, but in general, whenever I run into these types of issues it's something to do with the way the server is caching files.

I'm really curious about the use case for this. Why would the device someone is viewing your help on determine the terminology you would use anyway? I'm sure there is a good use case, I just can't think of one and am curious.

Your best bet is to create a search results topic and use the Search Results Proxy so that you have more control over the look and feel of that page. There are some instructions here https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare20 ... esults.htm

You can also set the max-width of the header in the skin. Is that what you are looking for? It was the "max-width" setting in the header area of the skin that I had been playing with. However, for some reason, it was set to <xx>ems... and I was seeing differences in header widths between ...

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...

If I understand what you are asking, it would be possible using conditions (or really any form of metadata you prefer) and a bit of javascript. For example, I've created a dynamic course catalog in my current project where users can filter by topic, or run a "search" for a topic. The searc...

You can also set the max-width of the header in the skin. Is that what you are looking for?

The target has a skin tab and there are option there for adjusting the responsive settings maybe? Yes. This is controlled via the Tablet and Mobile Breakpoints. It sounds like you would just want to set your Tablet Breakpoint to be lower than the default. Just keep in mind that if you have other re...

I'm not a programmer, but do know how to use Notepad+ and add script or modify (from prior help request). I'm not sure what is meant by add the .js file to the search results page. I need the search item highlighted in the output. I think this is what this script is doing. Any more detailed help? S...

You could approximate this look and feel using a side nav output and a search bar proxy.

That would be awesome if you're happy to share - thanks Chris. $(document).ready(function(){ var filter=(window.location.search.split('&').splice(1)) // Creating a variable "filter" whose value is the filter text filter = decodeURI(filter) //Getting rid of the codes that are used for ...

Do you see this behavior if you build locally, or is it only on a published version? I've ran into issues similar to this that was because I was not removing stale files from the destination.

I can't speak to the technical side of how this would be accomplished (I'm assuming you have dev support for this). But I would think conditions is still a good way to do this since conditional elements are entered as metadata in each page. So, while the condition may not serve a purpose during the ...

Look into Snippet conditions. That's the solution built into Flare to handle this kind of scenario.

ANy update on whether this feature has been timelined, or even implemented? We just did some usability testing and it was something identified as a flaw by users. Thanks, Louise. I don't have an update on an official Flare solution for you. But I have a script I can give you that grabs and decodes ...
