Hi Sam,

Did you ever find a solution to this? We want to do this too.

Thanks
Laura

So obvious! Thank you so much for replying. I was so frustrated I didn't even see the tab one in the middle.
Many thanks
Laura

Hi all

Have been using Flare for a while, but am stumped with this one. I am used to accessing my TOC on the Flare interface in a tab along the top, alongside other topics. Somehow, I've managed to undock it, and now I cannot get it to return to a tab. I've tried dragging, docking, floating ...

Update - I have found that if I go to the last row that appears in the table, and press Tab on the keyboard, the rest of the table appears. It's like it wasn't deleted, just hiding round the corner
HTH

Hi there

I have tailored the file list (View>File List) column headings so that only the ones I want are shown on screen, and in a particular order.
However, it only seems to persist for a while, then I go back to the tab and it's reverted to default, which is really annoying!

Has anyone else seen ...

Thanks for taking the time to reply, NorthEast. I'll give some of your suggestions a go.

Hi all,

I need to search and replace a large number of errors I've found in my project, but the basic search is not working as expected.

I have used a class, followed immediately by a variable throughout the project.

For example, <span class="ProductApplication">xxxxxxxx</span> <MadCap:variable ...

ChoccieMuffin, thank you for that. I'll give that a go and see if it helps.

Hi all

My colleague and have experienced some worrying table behaviour. We are using Flare 2023 r2.

Sometimes, when we make edits to a table, one or more (could be several) of the rows at the end of the table simply disappear. Completely, without trace. The only way to get them back is to undo the ...

OK, so obviously, once I posted this, I managed to solve it.

I opened the Topic-Toolbar Skin in Notepad and deleted everything within the Resources section, then added the new icons using the Target Editor view.

Hi all

I have been experimenting with my side-nav web output to show/hide my table of contents, which has worked well using this procedure (thanks Jack!)

However, I would like to change the icons used to show/hide the TOC, but ...

Hi all

I've managed to create a miniTOC with bullets in each section of my online help, but the bullets are coming out larger than I want, and blue.
Where do I specify how I want them to look?

Any help greatly appreciated as this is driving me mad

Thanks
Laura

Hi,

I have a large project which is divided into sections.

I want each section to introduce the chapters within it on its first page. My chapter headings have the style h1-Chapter. I can't get this to work for my printed output (though it does work for online).
The mini-TOC I use on the first ...

Thanks for replying, Rob, that's a useful tip. I'll pass it on to the team here.

Hi all

When outputting printed docs, we don't use the "Auto-end on blank page" functionality. Unfortunately, it is set to Enabled by default. We would like to set the default value to be Disabled instead of Enabled. We never enable this and it is just another thing that needs to be set for each ...

Please see viewtopic.php?f=9&t=34074&p=145644#p145644 for my (2022) fix for this issue.

Please see viewtopic.php?f=9&t=34074&p=145644#p145644 for my (2022) fix to this issue.

With the help of Scott DeLoach from https://www.clickstart.net/, I managed to get this to work.

I copied the primary CSS file, and called the copy popups.css.
At the end of this I added the following code, which removes the heading banner and the side menu bar:
nav.tab-bar
{
display: none ...

Hi all, I've been trying to resize a popup window coming from an image map. I've had to create a "popups.css" file and tweak it as I'm using a Side-nav skin which doesn't officially support popups. I have eventually managed to get them to appear without a banner or side bar, but now they are all too ...

Thanks for taking the time to reply to this Rob.

Hi all

I'm fairly new to Flare and have the following problem with a bullet style. We have inherited a template from a colleague which uses a bullet style instead of the li option.
I have two issues.

Issue 1 : When I apply the ListBullet style, I get code like this:

<p class="ListBullet" MadCap ...

Many thanks for that Nina, another tip added to my growing list!

Hi all

Apologies, very basic question but I'm new to Flare.
When I double click to open a topic to work on, they used to open in tabs along the top of the window. I accidentally dragged one of the topics down, and it opened in a separate window.
Now all topics open in separate windows. How do I ...

Hi all

I'm brand new to Flare, having moved from Robohelp and am struggling to get up to speed!

We need to produce a Word output for a fairly small help system (about 50 topics) and I cannot get my project to generate. It looks like it is generating then fails at the very end. All I get is "10086 ...
