Trying to publish via FTP and I'm getting the following error:
As lovely as this error message is, it doesn't actually convey any information about what it wrong. Anyone any ideas? I've emailed Madcap already, but waiting on a response.

Cheers Paulie, that did the trick! I find it a bit off that I can do backslashes \ for the project path, but not for the target path...

I'm trying to use madbuild to automate my building process. I've got the following: madbuild -project C:\Flare\SampleProject.flprj -target "target_subfolder\another_subfolder\sample_project_target" Unfortunately I keep getting errors saying that the target file was not found. Should the ta...

Has anyone actually managed to setup ElasticSearch yet? I'm trying to follow through the Madcap docs but the Installing Elasticsearch on a Remote Server section is incredibly vague in places. I followed everything through but now I when try and publish my project I get: Publish failed: Invalid URI: ...

After battling with Madcap support for a while, I've found out that the first one is where the Indices.db file is stored, and the second is simply the Web.ContentServices location.

@headphone_jack or anybody Is there any way to integrate the HTML, CSS, JS output of flare into an Angular SPA? Sorry for the late reply Alihassan. I'm not aware of any way to integrate Angular into Flare unfortunately. Flare's web side is incredibly outdated, and struggles to keep up with the indu...

I'm stuck on installing Elasticsearch on an IIS server. Where can I find the path to be used for the DefaultConnection and the path to be used for the DataRootDir? These are both mentioned in How to Install Elasticsearch on a Remote Server: https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2018/Content/Flare/Sea...

I'm not sure how to do this through the Flare interface, but try adding this to the top of your Default.css file: h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { font-family: 'Arial', 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica', sans-serif !important; } The !important bit will probably make many a web developer rage. Unfortunately managing ...

Unfortunately, I don’t think there is a way to fix this. I personally wouldn’t spend any time “prettifying” the code of topics in the internal text editor because it’s likely to revert. Many of us have complained about this. You might consider adding your voice by submitting a feature request (or e...

Hi all, I find Flare's built-in text editor incredibly sluggish and a pain to use, so when editing topics in Flare I mostly use Sublime Text Editor. Annoyingly when you save a file in Flare, there seems to be some post-processing in the file and Flare changes the layout of the markup. For example if...

I'm going to see if I can find a way to remove Require.js completely, or at least have it load after Vue. Thanks for your help Dave.

So I guess the question is whether they would conflict with the frameworks that you mention? Thanks for your quick reply Dave. Looking at the markup, there's a whopping 11 JS files that Flare kicks out. :shock: :shock: :shock: After a bit of playing around, I've found that require.min.js and requir...

Is it possible to use a JavaScript framework within Flare? Specifically React, Angular, or VueJS. I am not looking at using jQuery.

Is it possible to include a Contact Us form within the HTML5 output? I've searched around this forum and the only post that mentions a form is this one: https://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=28124&p=123539&hilit=form+contact+form#p123539. Unfortunately it's from 2 years a...

Aaaah, that's where I was going wrong! Thanks for your help!

1. On the skin Styles tab, find the item Navigation Slide Out Button . 2. For the Image property, click the select image icon, then click ... (browse) to select your image. That'll add it to the skin. Which Styles tab are you referring to? The only Styles tab I can find is under Project Organizer >...
