Seeing two master repos at same time

I am suddenly seeing an origin repo in my MadCap Central instance. They share the same hash/ID. I tried removing it, then it re-appeared later in the day when I synchronized.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Re: Menu in TopNav Master Page issue

I didn't have the same symptoms as you (which is why I wasn't sure it would be helpful). I had a toc that worked fine in both Flare and as a top menu, but in the context sensitive side menu some of the links didn't resolve correctly. The output built successfully though. I looked at the toc in a te...

Re: Menu in TopNav Master Page issue

This may be no help, but I've had problems with the context sensitive menu in the topnav output that I traced to bad links in the toc - the links pointed to the correct topics and worked fine in Flare (and in the top level menu), but they didn't render correctly in the side menu. It might be worth ...

Menu in TopNav Master Page issue

I am having an issue where my output fails whenever I add the Menu Proxy to my TopNav master page. The error in the compiler is "Build failed: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." The Menu Proxy is linked to an existing TOC, as well as an existing Skin File. I have narrow...

I'm testing out the new Top-Nav HTML 5 skin. I have a robust search filter set from my current WebHelp Plus skin. When I select an item from the Search Filter, it populates the search field with that item. When I click in the field, the word 'Search..." and whatever search filter item was in th...

Re: Limit Search Results

I would like to limit the number of search results returned in Flare's webhelp output. Currently if I search for a term, the results can include more than 130 different topics. Surely there's a way to limit this to about 20, right? Tom See this thread: http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php...

Re: Issues with Open Sans fonts?

Anyone run into issues where use of Google Fonts (Roboto, Roboto Condensed) works everywhere in the output except the TOC (i.e., Contents tab)? To get it work, I edit the Styles.css (/Skins/Default/Stylesheets) in the output, adding this line to the top: @import url('http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?...

Re: Maximum Search Results

If anyone is interested, I was able to find a solution. In the MadCapDefault.js file, line 591, is the PrepareSearchResults function. Before the closing bracket in the for statement for this function, I added this break statement: if (i==x) {break;} where x is the maximum number of search results.

Re: Database-driven output

Yes, you can do that using XSLT; i.e. display particular records from the XML data. The examples on the w3schools site will show you how to write XSL files to transform (filter) the information you require. The example for XSL on the client shows how to integrate this into a topic.

Re: Database-driven output

If you have this in XML form from a database, could you not use XLST to filter/display the content as a web page? A web page within a Flare project, or something completely separate from Flare? If your idea is to have database/XML-driven output, then presumably your source data is not part of Flare...
