Actually, it's now a bug (139632) but entering ./ works.

Are you trying to publish to the IIS root folder? I'm getting this error too but only in the root folder and I have Full Control permissions everywhere and can publish there with FileZilla.

I was told by Support that it's the URL to the app you created in IIS for the Web.ContentServices folder. But since I haven't been able to get it to work yet either, take that for what it's worth. Hope it helps.

I'm also having problems getting ES to work on an Azure VM so I'll be watching this post.

Got it, thanks.

I'm having an issue with the CSE box only activating in IE 10. It's visible but not active in 11 (or in 10 mode) and Chrome. I also tried setting the meta X-UA-Compatible to other than Edge, for example, 10 but that didn't help.

Any ideas? Could this be why MadCap uses PIE?

Hey, Dave I'm not having much luck with the JQuery. It looks like you based your example on a different target type? There is no data-mc-style in my target. Instead, here's the header: <div id="header"><a href="Default.htm"><h1 class="logo"></h1></a> <div class="se...

Okay, kids, the good news is that it can be done and works. :D http://documentation.bluecieloecm.com/BCWebHelp/Google%20CSE.png The bad news is that you have to modify your target output. I tried shimming it into the Flare page template but the compiler chokes on the <gcse:search> element. Below are...

Thanks, Dave. I'll pursue those lines.

Ha! Looks like I'm using the older code, ga.js. I hadn't heard about the Universal Analytics change. So I'll step in line behind you since now I'm curious as to whether the change would cause a lag in my page loads. If I make the switch, that is. Have to do some reading up on it, now. Sheesh. I hate...

I don't have any wisdom to offer for your problem, but if you succeed in redefining the search-submit.click event, I'd like to learn how you did it. It might work to send the search criteria to a Google Custom Search Engine instead, which is my quest.

Good luck!

I couldn't find any buzz here on this topic in the past several years so I'm starting a new topic to at least make it visible again. Has anybody had success replacing Flare's WebHelp search with a Google Custom Search? My application of it would be in a navigation project that links to dozens of chi...

jsandora, I'm not positive, but it looks like you might be using the old synchronous GA code. I'm using the asynchronous code and it's much smaller and I don't experience any lag. Your lag might be due to the preview waiting for a response from GA. The asynchronous code isn't dependent on any such p...

Glad it helped you. Even still in version 9, Flare has challenges playing nice with variables and spaces. For example, try dragging and copying two variables separated by a space to another place in the text. Flare doesn't copy the second variable (come on, guys!). Copy and paste is more reliable. A...

Not sure if this will help or not in your cases, but I discovered that Flare does a lot of checking for valid publishing destinations assigned to targets. I wound up turning all destinations off.

I think what you're looking for is to start with File>Import Project>From Source Control instead.

Okay boys and girls, I've refined my conditional build batch file(s) to the point where they work well and thought I'd contribute them for the benefit of others here. I've found a few solutions to problems in this forum and want to pay it forward. The major reason for this exercise in the first plac...

Try this regular expression: Name" />[^ <),&.\r\\] Where Name is the last word of the variable name(s) that you want to find. In my case, all the variables end with the word Name, which makes it easier. But you could also replace it with a matching expression as well. This particular expres...

Greg's tip is great (thanks, Greg). In fact, you can extend it for step 6 to associate the topic files as well. Saved me a ton of time mapping hundreds of topics, so I thought I'd pay it forward. I used a formula similar to the following to generate lines that I pasted into the project's .FLALI file...

I submitted an enhancement request for conditional builds, by the way. Maybe 7?

The crux of the batch file is the following line that lists the topic files in ascending date order so that the newest is listed last. The FOR statement should set the environment variable NewestTopicDate to the date/time of each file, resulting in the variable being set to the date/time of the newe...

Has anyone figured out how to modify a batch file for conditional builds? For example, only if a new topic is added or a TOC is updated, then build? I've spent a few hours at it but can't get the FOR command to return a date from %~t.

Thanks,
Ken

Thanks for the quick reply, LTinker68. I just came to the same conclusion from a different direction. If you place the images in project B in a subfolder of Resources\Images, then when project A imports it, Flare will create a corresponding subfolder for the incoming images and update the links. It ...

Has anyone else yet encountered and found a workaround for the problem of picture file names in linked projects? That is, if I have project A with 100 pictures in it, the file names generated by Flare in its Resources\Images folder for those pictures will occupy a series of names, for example, 03000...

Immediately after building an HTML Help target and opening it to view the results, I might get the message "The output for the Microsoft HTML Help target is not up-to-date. Do you want to regenerate it?"

What's up with that? I haven't changed a thing yet.

I've determined that this is related to full Analyzer's inability to open projects residing in folders that contain an apostrophe. After renaming the "invalid" folder, the analysis in Flare occurs. This is a really needless bug, MadCappers, and it's preventing me from using software we pai...
