Re: "The negotiation of key exchange method has failed"
Crikey. Add this to the list of incredibly frustrating areas where Flare is several years behind the industry standards. I really do worry that the SaSS offerings are getting so much better and Flare seems to be frozen in time...

Re: Variable not showing in segment
I always understood the [%=%] format variables to be an alternative way of using variables as properties inside existing XML tags i.e.
It would make sense that Lingo would ignore if if this is the case.
Code: Select all
<p style="color: [%=Formatting.Color%]">Paragraph</p>

Re: Use Different Page Layout for Different conditions
Hi
Yes this is entirely possible. You can apply conditions to images in page layouts and they will be hidden or displayed depending on the target conditions. Have you encountered an issue trying to do this?

HTML popover
popover is a new Global Attribute in the HTML spec and it's AWESOME . You can show/hide practically any element or group of elements with a native button and setting popover=auto will exactly emulate a Flare image popup that can be dismissed by selecting the bounds outside the element. This has a m...

Re: Controlling background image size
No guarantee but I have noticed that sometimes PDF output prefers CSS shorthand instead of explicit declarations so you could try that:
Code: Select all
p.NotesIcon
{
background: url(C:\(redacted)\Content\Resources\Images\Notes_Icon.png) no-repeat 9px 5px/20px white;
}

Re: Setting of Position: Absolute is cutting off text
Yes this is a frustrating issue with Flare and dropdowns. I recommend you use flex for your layouts in a column with the footer being aligned with the flex-end. Flex is amazing and solves all sorts of layout problems such as this. Excellent help for flex is here - https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css...

Re: Setting up the process: Better to import from or export to other projects?
I would personally that you get into some sort of Source Control urgently, as it can save you from a lot of issues. Do you use ADO etc. at your company? How come you'll be able to use GitHub "eventually", why the delay?

Re: Cursor button shortcut for next or previous button
You can put some jQuery into the skin that should achieve this, I've tested it locally in devtools but not in an actual build however.. $(document).keydown(function(e) { if (e.which == 39) { $(".next-topic-button").click(); } else if (e.which == 37) { $(".previous-topic-button")....

Re: Can a page layout call a different variable set depending on the doc using it?
It seems you might be doing things a little bit backwards. You don't need to have a variable set for each document type, you just use the target to set what the variables should be for that output. This way you can use one page layout, one variable set but have multiple targets in which you set the ...

Re: drop-down hotspot
Hi, a dropdown hotspot is automatically created within the dropdown head when you add dropdown text to a topic. You can select different text within the dropdown head if you want to change which text acts as the hotspot, then you'll see the option is selectable.
