Open up an inspector window in your browser and step into the the code. Your <form class="search" (or whatever the search bar is embedded within) overlaps the top of the side menu.
Best would be to shrink the width the search bar somehow. 'fraid that the css for that is a bit beyond what I have ...

Hello,

For whatever reason, the "Introduction" topic link in any mini-TOC in our new TopNav online help doesn't work.

For reference: http://help.fortinet.com/fos50hlp/54/Content/FortiOS/fortigate-whats-new-54/intro.htm

In the mini-TOC, you can click all subheadings, but you can't click ...

I'm sure this is fairly well-known by now, and this thread is somewhat outdated, but (in addition to the previous suggestions) in Flare 12 you can create a style that has a condition applied to it automatically. So whenever you use that style (in my case, p.Comment), it is automatically conditioned ...

Hey - thanks for sharing this - I really like the look of your help. Gives the rest of us some ideas to play around with.

Thanks! If you have any questions for us, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Titus

Here's our new online help, as promised. I wouldn't say it's perfect, or even complete.. and the code is a mess, but nevertheless!

Thanks for all your help!

Titus

Well.. this is kind of terrible.. Is there a solution to this?

My flyout menu TOC is way longer than most of my topics, so the extra scroll bars just mess everything up in the flyout. :cry:

EDIT: I think I found a solution, at least for my project, by adding the following to my stylesheet ...

Titus

Thanks again kwag_myer!

I think I've made progress and everything is coming together nicely now. I'll post a link to the site when it's "done".

For the hamburger menu to appear, I just decided to change my default 'tablet' size so it accommodates up to 1600px screens.

Cheers!

Titus

One question I have: you do have a Master TOC with all the topics, correct?

I do... though it doesn't seem to be making a difference.

Here's my master page for OtherTopics.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<html xmlns:MadCap="http://www.madcapsoftware.com/Schemas/MadCap.xsd" MadCap ...

Titus

I'm starting to think this can't be done because there is no TOC for the topics (although I am using a menu proxy with a TOC as part of a landing page for online help)...

Titus

I don't think that's how it works. If you use the HTML tag to set the master page as a style ( instructions ), it should work.

Thanks for the suggestion kwag_myers. Unfortunately, this isn't working for me. When I inspect the elements in the output (in Chrome and Firefox) it says " mc-master-page ...

Hello! I'm back...

I recently had a question about setting hyperlinks in the menu for Top Nav HTML5 output, which Dave Lee was very kind to help me with. Essentially, I needed my menu to be all hyperlinks, and no direct links to documentation content.

This presented the issue of how to include ...

Aha! Spectacular. Thanks again!!

(And no, I suppose it wasn't all that clear about TOC hyperlinks, but still...)

Titus

Wow! It's that easy, eh? I had no idea--well I feel sheepish!

Thanks so much, Dave!

As a follow-up, how easy would it be to make those links open in New windows/tabs?

Hello,

We've just upgraded from Flare v10 to Flare v12, largely for its sleek Top Navigation output. :mrgreen:

In migrating our old online help (which was tri-pane), we wanted to replace the menu links in the Top Navigation skin with URLs to other company and doc-related websites. I can't figure ...

Titus

The alternative you have already found is either to shut down Flare and reopen before building or often using Clean Project is enough, to get rid of all the previous temporary files from earlier builds, before building again.

Thanks AJ!

It would seem that the resolution of the images was the ...

Titus

For some reason, when I try to produce a PDF with our new Cover and End page, I get "out of memory" errors 99% of the time, unless I've just build the PDF immediately upon rebooting Flare.

The new cover and end page images are around 300Kb each (with a roughly 5000x6000 pixel resolution), so I ...

Titus

Does your layout file have a page with type "Empty" as well as "Right" and "Left"? I've never used the Empty Left and Empty Right page types. I generally copy the left page and delete the Body Content Frame.
Are your Chapter breaks set as Chapter breaks on the correct entries in the TOC?
Do your ...

Titus

Following up; has anyone else had this issue?

Titus

I'm having the same problem as Tsiaris. I've tried every suggestion I could find in the forums.

The best I could do is set my first chapter page layout to "First Left" so that at least the page numbering is on the left side to start.

Any time I try to inject an empty page so that the first chapter ...

Titus

Excellent point, thanks Nita! I will pass this information on to the author.

Cheers!

Hello,

I've got an index working with page numbers as hyperlinks/xrefs (in PDF), but is it possible to get the text to also be a hyperlink/xref, so that the user can click on either the page number or the index word?

Thanks!

Titus

Ah so... yes, thank you wclass, that would appear to be the problem, then.

I wonder if there are any plans to fix this, or if it works in Flare v11....

Titus

As the subject says; I can't seem to get my hyperlinks to work in my output. I created the Image Map just fine, and I don't think I have any styles disabled that would otherwise affect the output.

The only thing I can think is that the image is being re-sized?

Any help is much appreciated!

Titus

Hello again,

So I've looked through the forums, and perhaps this just isn't possible..

I'm using the mini-toc proxy to generate lists of h2s that appear in each book. I applied a list style to the p.minitoc1 element, and this works fine for online output, but the bullet doesn't appear at all for ...

Titus

If it's not in the output, then I guess it's excluded because you're using the option Exclude content not linked directly or indirectly from the target in your skin Advanced tab.

Yup, I think that was it! I included a reference to the stylesheet in one of the included topics and it seems to work ...
