MadCap Software Forums

It's 2023! Looking for a little insight as to how folks are managing this these days. We first employed this fix trying to resolve TWO issues: 1) The long URL TocPath (not ideal for support/customers) 2) Jumping around in the menu when a topic is used multiple times in a ToC ( synchronizing navigati...

Came across this as I was working on a similar issue, and wanted to share the solution for using a variable in the breadcrumb prefix. First, create a new variable for your prefix. (Ex. MyVariables.Breadcrumb_Prefix ) The definition can be blank, or you can have a definition here that would be the de...

Did you see this post? It worked perfectly for me to insert an SVG into the header of a side navigation skin.

I've only done this process through 2019 (not 2019 r2). Here is the replacement code for Flare 2019: File located here: C:\Program Files\MadCap Software\MadCap Flare 15\Flare.app\Resources\WebHelp2\Desktop\Scripts\MadCapAll.js Find this: if(MadCap.Utilities.HasRuntimeFileType("TriPane")){Q...

Fiona (and the rest of us still struggling with this!) I'm not yet on Flare 2019r2, but what I've done with previous upgrades is searched for a similar string in the code - it's been the same for a while now, but with different letter variables mixed in. Assuming the correct MadCap.js file is still ...

Yes - still works. Just ran it last night and still works fine. Note that my last find/replace post was specifically for 2018 r2. Make sure you've found the right MadCapAll.js file.

For Flare 2018 r2: File located here: C:\Program Files\MadCap Software\MadCap Flare 14\Flare.app\Resources\WebHelp2\Desktop\Scripts\MadCapAll.js Find this: if(MadCap.Utilities.HasRuntimeFileType("TriPane")){Q+=encodeURIComponent("?"+Y+"Path="+X)}else{var R=new MadCap.Ut...

The code has changed. I suspect it's possibly this that now needs to be commented out: if(MadCap.Utilities.HasRuntimeFileType("TriPane")){L+=encodeURIComponent("?"+Q+"Path="+V)} If anyone with JS chops can verify that would be great. Why I don't have any JS chops per s...

Thanks all for your suggestions! I really needed the hack *not* to be at the individual page level (like your suggestion of editing the title, Dave) - but instead to be usable across hundreds of screentips on dozens of pages. So I worked for quite awhile this morning after posting on using variables...

Thanks - I guess I typed a little fast on that one, but I had tried with semi-colons as well. Also tried on your suggestion combining the two - but still no dice. The result is just the characters printing directly in the tooltip (i.e. - "...Season

Production...")

Looking to simplify a workflow and put useful info in the imagemap screen tip that serves both as the tooltip hover text and screen reader alt text. For tooltip readability, I really need the option to insert a line break or two. I know this is (mostly) possible in the real world using a line break ...

It appears that our wishes have been granted! I've had this forum topic bookmarked for years, but now there's an actual on/off toggle for this in 2017 r2! http://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2017r2/Content/Targets/Flare/More/Synchronizing-Navigation-Elements-with-TOC-Entries.htm Target Editor > Adva...

In our documentation, we have screenshots as imagemaps. Clicking on a part of the screenshot pops up a small window telling you how to configure that part of the screen. I'm wondering if it is possible to get my newer HTML5 Tripane Flare popups to function more like my WebHelp popups used to. WebHel...
