Can you turn off search altogether?
Hi there We want to remove Flare's native search from our help because we are using a 3rd-party search tool that searches across multiple sites. Is there a way to entirely disable the search feature in Flare? It takes a while to publish all the SearchPhrase_ChunkXX files to our server and we'd like ...

Swiftype search in Flare output?
Hey there, has anybody had success using Swiftype custom search in their Flare output? (see www.swiftype.com) We're testing it out and we love it, but including their script causes a bug with the TopNav output (the hamburger menu navigation sporadically breaks and so does the native search feature.)...

Re: TopNav target styles broken when lowercase file names on
We worked around this issue by configuring our Apache server to use mod_speling. This causes the server to ignore case-sensitivity in file names.

Support for FTPS (FTP with tls)?
Hi there, I need to migrate my Flare content to a new server, which uses FTP with explicit Auth (TLS). It doesn't appear that Flare 12 supports this feature with the current settings, but I was wondering if I'm missing something. Does anybody know if Flare can support publishing to servers that use ...

Re: TopNav target styles broken when lowercase file names on
We are still using the workaround. There is an open ticket for this but I don't think it has been fixed yet :-( We haven't upgraded to Flare 12 yet, so I'm not sure if it's better or worse in the next version. The good news about the workaround is that we don't have to do it each time we republish t...

Re: Prevent file: from being appending to linked stylesheets
Just wanted to post an update, since I figured out what was wrong with this while troubleshooting another issue on another thread. My server uses https, not http, so I needed to add https: (not http:) to the beginning of the URL. Mystery solved! Thanks to Dave Lee for helping me figure it out. I can...

Re: Embed Wistia videos in Flare
Thanks Dave, that fixed it!
Our server does use HTTPS, so appending https (not http) does the trick. Thank you SO MUCH, that really solves a couple of problems for us!
Our entire doc team is doing a little happy dance today.

Re: Embed Wistia videos in Flare
Hi Dave, I'm certain that the issue is with the "http" part of the URL. I've tested it on our servers both from within Flare output and from some basic HTML files, and in both cases simply removing the HTTP from the URL causes the videos to load - and adding the HTTP prevents the videos fr...

Re: Embed Wistia videos in Flare
Thanks for your help Dave. The async="async" trick seems to work. Unfortunately though adding http: to the beginning of the URL doesn't seem to work with Wistia, as Wistia won't serve up the videos when http: is included on the URL. I had similar issues with our web fonts on typography.com...

Hi folks, I'm trying to insert an analytics tracking code into a master page using the <script> tag within the <head> tag of a master page. The <script> tag contains some javascript.

Re: TopNav target styles broken when lowercase file names on
We submitted a bug report to MadCap for this one, but in the meantime my workaround is to duplicate the Skins folder on my web server and have a second copy of it where the names are capitalized to match the links in the generated HTML files. I'm looking into ways to pre-load the correct CSS files a...

TopNav target styles broken when lowercase file names on
We've upgraded to Flare 11 and are having a big problem with some of our old project settings. On the Advanced tab of the target, we selected "Use lowercase filenames", which always worked fine in Flare 10 and earlier, but in Flare 11 there seems to be bugs. The generated HTML files have t...

Re: Top Navigation - Anchor Top Menu
This code just styles the .tab-bar, and you don't need to style the .main-section. It uses position:fixed instead of position:absolute, and uses the z-index to bring the content to the top. Basically, it fixes the tab bar to the top of the page and brings it in front of everything else, so the rest...

Re: Top Navigation - Anchor Top Menu
This is a great post, but my page had a small bug when I followed the instructions in the KBA. If I viewed my page in Safari on a mac, and then zoomed out, the browser displayed white space in the bottom half of the browser instead of displaying more content. So, zooming out would make the content s...

Hi there, I'm converting my Flare project to use Top Nav help, and we've been having a bit of trouble with the search. In the process of converting to Top Nav, we've been incorporating a lot drop-down text to replace smaller topics. This enables us to have fewer levels in the TOC hierarchy, which wo...

Thanks Mike! Looks like we replied simultaneously It's nice to know that we can do some manual CSS-styling of stuff that is in the skin. I can't wait to try some other stuff too.

Re: Can you transform text to uppercase in the skin menu?
Ok, I answered my own question. The menus in the output are wrapped in a class "navigation", so you can style that class in the CSS and it will be applied to your final output. So, even though I didn't find a way to style it in the skin, I found a way to style it after-the-fact. In my styl...
