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?

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 sear...

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).

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 req...

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.

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 font...

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 potentia...

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.

Thanks Feebeegeebee, I will have to ask our IT people if the server is running on Linux.

Here are the replies I got from madcap support: "The Micro-Content behavior goes off of the first phrase added to the Micro-content File. For instance adding a phrase Traffic B as the first entry and after adding Traffic A and C in the same micro-content file. After refreshing the phrases in th...

Hi all, We are using Madcap search and are testing microcontent (v2019 R2). Our output is published to a server location and made available to our customers via a password protected website. We have noticed that sometimes when you search for a term, the search spinning icon displays as if the search...

Having a similar problem. Were either of you able to resolve it?

Unfortunately, if I create a new project using the default out-of-the-box styles and settings, it seems to work fine so it must be some setting or style I have added, but I cannot figure out what exactly.

Hi there, Just two questions around microcontent and phrases that maybe someone can help with? * If you add two similar search phrases to microcontent, how does flare determine which one to display? For example, let us say I add the phrases "traffic lights" and "traffic crossing"...

Am also wondering if there is a workaround for this?

Great, thanks Psider. Any idea if there are any additional impacts with setting mc-heading-level: 0?

Hi there, In our HTML output, we have a menu proxy that is set to display all the headings (h1, h2, h3,..) in the topic you are viewing and this looks fine when there is more than one heading in the topic. However, some topics, only have a heading 1 (see attached screenshot). Is it possible to hide ...

Great, thanks. I will give that a go.
