Re: Select Tripane Skin from TopNav SelectSkin Button
Not sure if the help confirms this, but I would expect that you can't switch from a TopNav/SideNav skin to a Tripane skin. The Tripane skin is fundamentally different to TopNav/SideNav skins - they have separate skin editors and different features. The output generated for TopNav/SideNav share the s...

Re: Variables in snippets
Well, first check if snippet variables have been used for the individual snippets in your topics. It's not something that would happen by accident, as someone would have to deliberately set snippet variables on each snippet. But yes, if snippet variables have been set for each instance of a snippet ...

Re: Variables in snippets
You can set snippet variables at two levels - for the topic, and for each instance of the snippet in your topic. So if you've checked snippet variables at the topic level (in topic properties), then check each instance of the snippet in your topics - right-click the snippet and select Snippet variab...

Re: Javascript not working on header
I think the problem is that the first script will only work if it runs after the second script has finished. The first script runs on the 'DOMContentLoaded' event, but it assumes that the element with ID "changeURLLink" already exists here: document.getElementById("changeURLLink"...

Re: Search on a subset of topics automatically
No, that should work - it works ok for me.
Obviously, the text 'Search filter text goes here' needs to be replaced with some/all the text of the actual filter name.

Re: Link targets have no breadcrumbs
It'll be on your hosting/server side, rather than anything to do with Flare. Your hosting was presumably set up to remove the file extension from the URL. The breadcrumbs are generated at runtime (not build), and it seems likely that removing the extension causes the breadcrumbs code to fail. For ex...

Re: HTML5 with PDF library
Why can't you link to the PDFs that are on your public website?
That's what I do.
I'm not sure why someone would set up your firewall to block your own website, but if it does then change your firewall settings.

Re: Using variables in paths
No, I didn't try Word output, so I guess that doesn't work.
You could ask MadCap, but I'd guess it's just not officially supported - since the image doesn't display correctly in the XML editor, and there's no 'insert variable' button in the Insert image dialog.

Re: how to block h1 from in-topic toc
There's no similar method to exclude particular heading levels from a 'Headings' menu proxy. The only option is to set the heading level depth in the menu proxy, so you can't stop Flare including the h1. But you can use CSS to hide menu levels in the output. For example, this hides the h1 heading fr...
