MadCap Software Forums

So, If I read the post correctly, he WANTS them to be deactivated so to achieve this he would need to add spaces in the path? And this would cause the Breadcrumbs to cease working?

Thanks for the reminder, some days I just stare at my work and this program and go blank!

Can the breadcrumbs be placed at the top AND bottom of a document?

We are using it as a major part of our navigation system and it would be great if a person didn't HAVE to return to the top of a page to go back a topic.

I wonder when I wiped that out? I had it set once...

Anyway, it looks "normal" again.

Well now that I know where to go to edit what, maybe I'll like this. Thanks everyone.

Also, you can right click on a topic in the CHM and use View Source. This way you can at least see which styles / classes are being used by each item. Yup I figured that one out. I'm messing with the skin editor now to see if it will affect the line spacing. Thanks to Lisa I have my links in the mi...

Ok here is what I have - that is if I did this right. This is what is referenced for the mini-toc in the madcap.css div.MCMiniTocBox { padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding-top: 10px; border-top-color: black; border-top-width: 1px; border-top-style: none; width: 350px; } p.MiniTOC1 { font-we...

I was trying to figure out what you meant by looking at my output css, then it dawned me that you're referring to actual browser-based webhelp like here http://www.madcapsoftware.com/support/webhelp/flare/Default.htm . MIne is compiled into a chm :oops: I think I can go to the compile folder and vie...

Thanks, I will try your suggestions and let you know how it comes out.

Thank you, I appreciate your efforts. I walked away from this yesterday, but really we're in beta right now and I'm needing to publish help pratically daily. I guess I can keep using v3.1 to maintain my file, but that defeats the purpose of upgrading right? So far I haven't had a need for the new fe...

OMG this is making me crazy. What part of the new CSS controls the color of the font and line spacing of the mini-toc? It's just so frustrating to spend so much time on getting your help file to look just so and then it's broke with no clue where to go to fix it. /vent off Why does it have to be thi...

Dear Mr. Ferrell,

No sooner did I post that and guess what showed up in my in box? Now I'm all legalfied and happily working away...for now that is

Actually I found the issue. But first, I have the latest framework in place as that is what we are developing off of. Secondly, I didn't need to redownload, I had made the mistake of installing from the msi and not the exe. I just went back and started the install from the exe and it works fine. But...

I installed the trial version and went to start it and I get a "The parameter is incorrect" message. I have the dotnet framework installed, and the help viewer...I don't know what to do to correct this

V 3.1 is still working.

OH believe me I did, that's what had me tearing my hair out ,

So far it seems to be on track again, but thanks for the reminder

Well I have not posted a Ticket. Because today with a clearer mind I did some more experimenting and started with a clean TOC. This is what works. Why it works I do not know. I create an unlinked over topic and name it something pertinent to the Topic Section I'm working with. In this instance I hav...

yes the Explore the Interface is an actual linked Book icon, as with all of the books below it. And all the books below the Explore the Interface contain the mini-TOC only the Explore one does not. The Explore the Interface Topic is arranged exactly like the Rx Work Area topic above it (which works)...

That is correct there are no mini-TOC links in the Explore the Interface subject. Because we are not using the traditional TOC to the left for navigation, there is a link from the first Rx Work Area topic to the Explore the Interface topic. That link is made in the Related Topics control. I will be ...

Thanks forfear, and I can't convey this without sounding catty so please don't read it that way, but I already knew that. As far as trouble shooting, Yes it's added to my MasterPage -- I knew enough to do what you suggested - as I have read the KB, read the forums, read the Help file topic from prog...

OMG please please can someone explain Mini-TOC proxy to me in plain understandable english? I've taken a class, they never even touched on it, even after I broched the subject and they said they would get back to it. The knowledge base just plain confuses. And the help in the forums are scattered ar...

you got nice help project Thanks very much for that! I finally figured out what the breadcrumbs were doing. The mini-toc is going to be the "main" source of navigation. That is a booger to figure out, but I think I had an "epiphany" and hopefully will have something working ther...

Well the only option I see there (and I"m sorry I recommended that, for some reason I though it had the buttons you needed)...but you can add a button class called Next and then under Type for that class you can set the graphic and the function for OnClick - that's probably the javascript you'r...

you could use the webhelp custom menu, I have had it where the chm's regular menu is not shown and the webhelp navigation is through the skin. The downsize is you have only the default madcap toolbar for your base bar, but you could still substitute the button graphics and their arrangements. Perhap...

Ah, I was in the process of editing my post when you snuck in on me. I think I know what I need to do to get this working. I'm just struggling really hard with the learning curve on Flare. I bought it because I was told it was intuitive...maybe for brainiacs.. *droolz and stares blankly at the screen*

I would like to format my masterpage with: breadcrumbs mini-toc topic body I would also like to have the breadcrumbs start over with each book they are in, and have the mini-toc essentially be a non-expanding Toc for my online and program-embedded help. We won't be using the accordion style frames a...

Apparently Default is Canadian English? Don't think so (although it would certainly be handy for me if it were :D ) My guess is something in the RH import got Flare thinking it should use a different language setting. Perhaps so, I can't see how, RH was set to American Standard English too, so was ...
