Re: Demanding a save
I wrote a git hook that removes these attributes from diffs/commits because it's not meaningful information. If anyone is interested I can share the hook, just let me know. KayJay, I am very interested! We are using Git and I just hate that these elements are considered changed when they really are...

Re: Can't see published articles in Saleforce
Leslie, The Salesforce Connect license is a yearly subscription license of $2400/year/user. Thanks, that is good to know! Seems kind of pricey (more than a whole Flare license). Does anyone know how it handles article changes? For example, if you published to Salesforce and later make changes to th...

Re: Can't see published articles in Saleforce
Thanks, asbahr, for that summary.
Do you know the cost on this extra license? I don't want to bother proposing it and doing a PoC if it is not worth the cost to the higher ups.

Yes, I am seeing this also.
Based on Dave's summary in another thread (viewtopic.php?f=13&t=28996), I think I'm going to have to uninstall this release and go back to the last one

Re: Can't see published articles in Saleforce
Did you get a separate license for it? I read in the docs that it needs its own license. It would be good to experiment with it before deciding that you want to use it.

Re: Flare on a Mac
Hi Rona, I also use Flare on a Macbook via VMware Fusion. It works pretty seamlessly. In fact, I think I have better performance because I have an allocated amount of memory for the Windows guest system and I only run MadCap apps on it, with all other functions happening on the Mac host.

Re: protecting files with multiple authors in Git
Hi Lisa, Basically, you would use the same mechanisms that the developers use to protect the files in their code base. For the most part, writers should probably work in their own branch and then merge to Master when things need to be combined. Master is usually a "protected" branch. If yo...

Re: GIT Repository with multiple projects
Morgan is absolutely on the money here. And I love talking about it too!! If you use standard Git tools, the question of how you group one or more projects into a repository is more how you need to branch. The approach that worked best for me and my teams was to create repos based on how product was...

Re: How to copy content between Flare branches?
Sadly, I do not think you can do this if you are using the Flare-Git source control and project binding. If you simply use Git with a standard Git client (such as SourceTree) you can merge changes from Master to a branch or you can cherry-pick one or more specific commits to that branch (probably th...

Re: Flare 2017 using Git with multiple authors
I led a six-person team where we had our source in GitHub and used SourceTree as our Git client (recommend highly over Tortoise Git). This system worked extremely well for merging changes. We did not use the Flare source control at all because it just isn't designed around the Git paradigm, which is...

Re: Unordered list without bullets CSS
I think I would approach this using tested Divs.
I haven't ever implemented this, but I plan to experiment with it because the code indentation has certainly been a conundrum in the past. I'll post an update based on the experiment.

Re: Can I have two topics appear on the same HTML page?
I have experimented with this. If you drag the HTML topic file into the XML editor, it automatically creates a cross reference. If you drag a snippet file onto the page but not within an existing element, it automatically creates a snippet block. There is no quick way to use a topic in the same way ...

Re: Has anyone migrated to the Git integration?
Thanks for all of the feedback here so far. Git is a distributed source control, which is why was wondering how this would play out with a Flare integration.

We already have our projects in Git and already have a local copy of the repository. I have been reading the Flare docs to figure out their integration and I am just not clear on their project/branching management. We have branches, but a branch includes all of it and not a just a single project. Pl...

I have a rather large (800+ pages) PDF that I generate out of a Flare project. In Flare 9.1 all is well, but in testing the Flare 10 release the exact same set of files generates the target differently, and some of those differences are blockers for me. These are some of the things I am observing ri...
