Analytics on an Intranet (no external WWW access)
I'm shipping an HTML5 site to a customer alongside their custom software on servers that do not have access to the public internet. I'd like (as part of a wider investigation ito the low rate of adoption for the s/w :( ) to track usage of the Help. Before I've used Google Analytics and rely on Centr...

Re: linking a custom toolbar button to the project home page
Did a quick search and found this page https://www.codexworld.com/how-to/open- ... avascript/ which suggests appending "_self" to your window.open might be what you need.

Re: Tools/plugins for Terminology checking
Have you looked at Matthias Sander's Mad Quality plug-in? (https://www.improvementsoft.com/Content/index.htm) I've not used it myself but have found the Kaizen Plugin extremely useful in the past.

Re: Time/Date variable set to update "On File Save" updates on every Central build
I'm assuming from what you wrote that your process is to upload content to Central and use Central's build to publish to your Central-hosted site? (Forgive me, if that's not what you meant.) If that's the case, have you tried publishing into Central from your local copy of Flare? Does that preserve ...

My suspicion is there are no answers because many folk publish to the internet (I do! :) ) with any mobile and t...

Re: Can you convert a longish code snippet into a dropdown?
Unless I'm misunderstanding what you want, you can do this. An entire code snippet can be put in the body of a dropdown. There's no need to convert the content of the code snippet just wrap it inside the dropdown. I think the only issue you might have is if you want to use the caption from the Code ...

Re: using Flare's built-in templates-deleting default text
Hi Nina,
In the Content Explorer, open the E-Frontmatter-Topics folder and look at Title.htm. That's where I found offending text lurking.
Hope that's the solution you need,
Rae

Re: Upload an Excel file automatically on MadCap Flare
Hi Mj, Have you looked at using the Excel imports option? You can configure this to Auto-reimport before 'Generate output' (in the options tab of the Excel Import Editor). Once defined, this will pull in changes to the specified excel sheet(s) each time you build. If you then want to automate publis...

Hi there, I think you can do this--actually in more than one way. Note: I'm assuming that you're relying on conditions on the snippet file (set from the Content Explorer) to make the snippet appear/not appear rather than conditioning an inserted snippet inside the topic. I'm further assuming that yo...

If you are publishing with no access restrictions, there's no need to grant access. Users can just goto the URL of the live site. If you set the site to private, you'll need to add permitted users to a team and associate the team with the site. When you send out an invitation to a new user, you can ...

Re: Get rid of the Copy button in code snippets
Just to note that copying directly from a published code snippet can still cause problems: the leading spaces in indented lines of code are non-breaking spaces and may cause difficulties when working with the pasted code snippet.
