Duh. I noticed that the automatically-generated Search.htm always sits at the top level of the folder structure, whereas the URL in the skin directs you to a different level ../../ etc. So simply using my own search results topic now works, given the templateTopic line that I wasn't using originally ...

Zerozeddy

Ah. Not out of the woods yet, after all that :( Although the toolbar appears correctly now we have that line of code, the Home button URL is different to that in the "normal" toolbar by one level. Instead of Target_folder/My_User_Guide/Resources/MasterPages/HOME.htm it's looking for Target_folder ...

Anyway, to fix this, I added the following to my own stylesheet, and the topic toolbar will then appear:
Code: Select all
.templateTopic .buttons { display: block !important; }

Worked straight away with no faffing about. Brilliant. Thank you very much for your help.

Zerozeddy

Great, thanks!

(In fact I'd forgotten about this problem until returned to the forum for another question...)

Zerozeddy

I appreciate you taking the time. Sadly my results are different here, irrespective of snippetry - any changes in the xref text persist after build. Perhaps I have a bug. I will continue to investigate... Regards, Andrew **EDIT - it was pilot error. I'd conditioned out the topics that were linked ...

Zerozeddy

Thanks - but when I tested it with

<MadCap:xref href="../Path/folder1/target-topic.htm">a</MadCap:xref>

the published result was

a

i.e. it still doesn't like topic headings that are snippets.

Have I misunderstood?

Zerozeddy

I am having a similar problem in 2018. I am putting an xref into a topic whose heading is a snippet, and it comes out missing. Before this r2 release (installed yesterday) I'd bodged it to work by adding a non-breaking space after the snippet in the target topic's heading. To make this work now, I ...

Zerozeddy

Thanks for that - proved "Nearly, but not quite". I created my own topic, which was successfully used... but with the same result. As a test I used the same topic but without the proxy, to confirm it was using the correct master page: surcz2.png Note also that that Search_results.htm file only ...

Hi - not sure what I've (not) done here.

My skins are all set up nicely, with a Home, forward, back, custom PDF and search buttons.

However after performing a search, all but the search element disappear:

Some setting I've missed?

Zerozeddy

FYI adding

line-height: normal;

to the span style seems to have sorted it.

Zerozeddy

Yes. Thank for your help

Not quite. 1. Editor: Screen medium is wrong 2. Editor: Print medium is wrong 3. Preview: HTML5 is right 4. Preview: PDF is wrong 5. Output: Word is right 6. Output: HTML5 is right 7. Output: PDF is wrong Hmm. Looks different in Simplified vs Advanced views in stylesheet editor too not really ...

Zerozeddy

Thanks for looking, @psider.

Sadly it is in the editor too, whether I have screen or print as Medium (even though the screen preview is correct).

What I've just discovered is that the "underline" isn't white, but transparent.

Not a link, no.

Documents is a snippet, so it's

<On the toolbar click <MadCap:snippetText src="../UI_items/Buttons/Documents.flsnp" />.

The snippet itself is

<body> Documents </body>

I have a style that is rendering with a thick underline I don't want: not really underlined.png The CSS for this style is span.Button { font-weight: bold; color: #ffffff; background-color: #4f3660; border: solid 1px #4f3660; } I don't where it's come from. I've put in "text-decoration: none ...

If anyone is interesting, the only way I could get any sort of "Home" button in was to create a variable "Homepage_location" and in the Target give it a value of <a href="z_Resources/MasterPages/HOME.htm" >R</a> (I wanted ...

Zerozeddy

If anyone is interesting I solved it, eventually, by adding this to my main default Styles.css:

Code: Select all

ul.menu._Skins_HTML5_Menu.mc-component li ul
{
	border-bottom-width: 0px;

}

(I posted this yesterday, but have retitled and rewritten after investigation and deleted the original, so apologies if that's annoying) I want to change features of Menu Proxy items that aren't listed in the skin editor. I can change the borders of the whole menu, but I want to apply this to the ...

Zerozeddy

I'm a bit confused here. I've created a topic which contains the Search Results Proxy, and in the default master page I have a Topic Toolbar Proxy that includes Home, Back and Forward buttons and so on. But when I view the output and enter a search string, in the results there is no toolbar (even ...

Must be something basic I'm doing wrong here, but having created a link for a topic pop-up, when I click on the text it opens the target file in the same window as if it was a normal hyperlink. <a href="PopupFile.htm" target="_popup" class="Popup">Click here to see the file</a> What could I be doing ...

Zerozeddy

Ah, but when you say "set the condition on the topic" where do you mean? TOC or Content Explorer? Actually I've just retried. Conditions in Explorer worked, TOC didn't (i.e. yes excluded from TOC, but still appeared as reltable links in other topics). Anyway, obviously my previous experiment was ...

Zerozeddy

I am trying to exclude some topics from an online help system. As well as the TOC, the topics appear in relationship tables. I was assuming if I applied the condition to the topics just in the TOC it would exclude them in all scenarios, but this doesn't work as they are still picked up in the ...

I understand that, but if I click on "Graphical views..." the first thing in the navigation it comes to is "Graphical views". The hierarchy is breaking down. It puts that topic at the same level as "About the dashboard" as well, which is wrong. What I want/expect is that item in the red box in pic 3 ...

Zerozeddy

Coz I don't. Perhaps it's been removed, but I don't know how to prevent an H1 appearing in the Contents now.

Also, I do have an mc-heading-format attribute, but I can't find any resources to tell me what that does...
