Might be best to contact Mattias directly about this issue. I don't use search highlighting so it is not something I tested for.

The issue with quotation marks and Boolean keywords that I previously referenced has now been resolved by Mattias. You need to replace the handleSearch function with what is attached. I have tested and it works okay for me.

Ah, thank you very much. Yes, that seems to be the issue. Thanks again.

Hi all,

While using the flare analyzer feature, it flagged a broken link in the target file. The broken link seems to be related to some microcontent. But I do not know what exactly is broken or where to find it. I have looked through the microcontent file itself but I cannot see anything obviously ...

Just for information. I noticed an issue if a search query in the dynamic dialog box includes a quotation mark “ or the Boolean keyword not. The attached dialog box displays. dropdowndialogpopup.png

This dialog displays in the normal search box also but after have you hit the Enter key, but it is ...

The updated code is here: https://www.improvementsoft.com/blog/fl ... h-dropdown. Mattias intends to update the Madcap blog with the same.

Thanks Nita, yes he got back to me by email and adjusted the javascript so all good.

Thank Alex, I'll contact him separately.

Hi all,

There is a blog on the madcap site around search from Mattias Sander (https://www.madcapsoftware.com/blog/flare-dynamic-dropdown/). It is very nice. Unfortunately, there is no way to respond to Mattias directly from the blog to ask a question. Anyway, I tried out his update and it works ...

Perfect, thank you very much.

Hi, also wondering if you were able to make the links clickable?

In the properties of the search phrase, is the use of conditions an option or perhaps deselecting the check box in the properties Include micro content in search results?

Hi there,

Not an ideal solution, but you might need multiple targets to support this (see viewtopic.php?f=9&t=33727).

That's great, thank you very much Dave!

Hi all

When you insert a drop-down around content in Flare, the output displays a Plus and Minus icon to show and hide the content. These icons display as background images in the css I think. Is it possible to replace these icons with Font Awesome icons?

thanks,

Hi there,

Just wondering if you got a reply about this? Would be interested in doing something similar. So having something like what is shown in the screenshot below and just use one target. Each tab (for example, Business operations has a TOC on the left side). The search should be capable of ...

Hi Mj,

I am using version 2021 r2. I think that option has been there a while (see attached screenshot)

I would guess that you could still add the html manually to link to videos (via iframe perhaps).
thanks,

Hi Mj,

Vimeo has a number of paid plans (not sure which one we are on). Anyway, the paid plans offer some additional security and privacy options. However, anything put up on the internet obviously has a certain security risk so I guess you would need to assess if it is the right option for your ...

Hi Mj

We store our videos in Vimeo and link to them from flare topics. Not sure if that is an option for you, but it works well for us.

thanks,

Hi all,

Not sure if this is useful for anyone, but thought it might be worth mentioning in case. We use fontawesome in our html output and wanted to upgrade to use v6. We host it ourselves as per https://fontawesome.com/docs/web/setup/host-yourself/webfonts, using a master page to reference the ...

Thank for letting me know Josh. Yes, I kind of gave up on it too.

The IT team in my company would not allow download from the Java links Madcap provides (that is, these https://www.madcapsoftware.com/downloads/java.aspx). I installed an equivalent OpenJDK version, but it did not work.

I am not aware of a feature for that in Flare, so I guess you would have to do some additional custom work to do it.

I did notice before there was some custom work to use Flare conditions to filter content in a topic based on a selected version (but it was only per topic it looks like), but ...

Hi Josh,

Having a similar issue so just wondering if you got it resolved? I cannot view svg files in Flare. Even though it appears I have Java installed, Flare prompts me to install Java using that pop up.

thanks,

Could you apply a condition to your microcontent file and then in the Conditional Text tab of the target use the Display by Media Query action to control when the microcontent is applied. I have not tried this, it was just a thought.

Similar to the previous post, the main benefit is the automatic updates. The bronze email support is okay for random queries or issues.
I think many software companies concentrate on introducing new features ahead of fine tuning existing features.
